The time comes when we must give an account of our stewardship. It is certain, yes frightfully certain, that we must account in the strictest manner some day. Not more than four weeks ago I was standing at the door of the Church waiting for the worshippers as they wended their way to the parochial Mass. I knew, or thought I knew, that Fred McGhee was at his country place, for that was the only occasion except absence from town, that prevented me from seeing his presence at the Church. As I looked I saw a man on Farrington Avenue on crutches, little did I think that was the commencement of the end. I was unable to believe at first it was he for I had never known him to be ill sufficiently to cause alarm in the minds of his friends. He hobbled As a Citizen and Race Leader. As a citizen, who was more public spirited than Fred. McGhee? He was so wrapped up in the interest of the community in which he lived that it was impossible for him not to lead the van for reform. Nor did he ever forget that he was one of that race in this country against whom the door of opportunity is closed, and barred and who merely lives and breathes under the domination of another. Neither did he ever forget the rights that belong to him and his race and that those rights should be enforced. There was not a time when Fred. McGhee as a citizen has allied himself to any political party for the principles of that party and allowed himself to forget what he had most at heart, the interests of his own people. These he espoused with all the fervor and grit of a man of action and a man of power. And when the principles of his party were against his race he never stood for it. He was such a public man who will live long in the hearts of the people he served. Like all public men Fred. McGhee has had his enemies, that is unavoidable in public life, but what is that compared to the friends, the host of loyal friends he could always summon to his aid. I have seen in my short experience in St. Paul how Fred. McGhee the church until he returned a corpse. Two days after, I received a telephone call from his devoted wife—"Come, Father," she said, and the Catholic priest is ever ready for such calls. "Come, Father, Mr. McGhee is suffering, and he needs you." I hurried off and found him in excruciating torture, yet, with that tenacity of purpose which characterized him he refused from the start to conceal any prospective victory to death. I saw him for an hour. I knew his physical needs had been attended to. I knew he wanted me there to take care of the interests of his soul, and I asked him: "Do you wish to receive the Sacrament now?" "No," he said, "Not yet, I am suffering, but it will pass away. Just pray for me." The next day I called and found him, to my mind, in a worse condition, but in response to my inquiry as to how he was, he replied: "Oh, Fine! Fine!" After administering the Sacrament it was then that I felt that I had done my duty as his minister, and hoped that he would prove the victor. That night I visited him again, and he seemed to be passing through a crisis. There is a Sacrament known as the last anointing. Many Catholics dread this service. Those over whom it is to be performed often become frightened and feel that death is inevitable.

Court, Catholic Order of Forresters Father Theobold took as his theme Ecclesiastes 38th Chap. and 23rd verse and spoke as follows: It is unfortunate that it should fall to the lot of me, an insignificant person, to preach the funeral sermon of Fred McGhee, for he deserves a better eulogy than I can give. The Master has sent each and every one of us into his vineyard and laborers. He, the owner and Master of all places us therein, whether it is at the first hour, the sixth hour, the ninth hour, or the eleventh hour. He has placed us here to earn our penny.

McGhee 51 years ago breathed the breath of life and saw the light of day for the first time. Little did he think that he would have risen to such prominence in this America of ours for he is undoubtedly a national character, due entirely to his indomitable energy, his progressive activity his true Christian spirit, which he him to think more of the convenience Ghee has stood almost alone for the rights of his people. Many times he fought and lost, but he died game. As a Catholic Churchman. As a Catholic Mr. McGhee is perhaps better known to me and to this congregation than to most others, but even as a Catholic his reputation was in keeping with the universality of the Church to which he gave his allegiance, universal in a limited sense for right here in the United States, North or South, East or West, you will find Fred. McGhee as a Catholic known and loved by his fellow churchmen. Right here in St. Paul was his activity to which his former pastor can attest. Night or day, sunshine or rain, winter or summer, he was always here at the pastor's beck and call. He labored for Church, for society and for the individuals in this little Church. His heart was so wrapped up in the interests of this little mission that at times his name and the name of St. Peter Clavers were interchangeable. As a Professional Man. As a professional man his practice brought him in touch with all races and all conditions of life, and who could ever imagine how generous he was, how devoted and loyal to client and friend, so much so that his actions were sometimes regarded as a bit of madness on the part of a public man who had so many appeals to meet. Who knows of his liberality? I can assure you that not even his wife knew the extent of his liberality until death called him. Then it was that his relations and friends had an opportunity to see how his purse strings had been open to the poor for relief. The time comes when we must give an account of our stewardship. It is certain, yes frightfully certain, that we must account in the strictest manner some day. Not more than four weeks ago I was standing at the door of the When I asked Mr. McGhee if he wished to be anointed, he hesitated. His good wife, standing by his bedside, sald: "Fred, be anointed." And he consented. The next morning he rallied, and continued to improve for several days, and there was a succession of rallyings and relapses until the last days. On Saturday his strength began to fall. On Sunday I saw him and read and prayed for him. He thanked me saying: "Oh, it is so consoling." He frequently received the Holy Eucharist, the food for the soul. He knew that without that Sacrament he could not have life eternal. On Thursday, hardly had I sat down to my supper when the telephone bell rang. I heard a voice, which I recognized—"Come, Father, come quick. He is dying." In a few minutes I was by his side. I had the pleasure of staying with him until he breathed his last. He suffered, but quietly. He remained conscious to the last. He was able to listen to the prayers which commended his soul to Almighty God and to the angels and saints. "To die,—to sleep;—To sleep, perchance to dream;—Ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coll must give us pause." What made the poet put these thoughts in the mind of his hero, causing him to speculate and fear? But our departed brother no longer fears, for he knows that he is fortified by the rites and prayers of his holy religion. He has gone to that country from whose bourne no traveler returns. In the name of the Holy Ghost, which was poured out upon him; in the name of the angels, he went forth in search of peace,—in search of the Holy Zion. His eyes are closed forever to the sights of this world, and his ears to its din and noise. When he awakened all was still. He heard no more the busy beat of time. He fell asleep in his mortal body, but when he awoke his soul was free and he was speeding his way to the feet of his Holy Judge. Free from any entanglements, and able to contemplate God with the light of God's face shining into the soul, that soul was able to see its true position. Thus he appeared before the Judgment seat of God. It is not for us to presume to say what happened there. But from the evidence which surrounded his deporture from this world, we may safely conclude that he died the death of a brave and true Christian. We can only hope for the rest. All is in the hands of God. But when he went there he saw his sins disclosed, he saw his good works, public and private, also disclosed. His accounts were balanced, and he saw how he stood. But, my friends, we are not here to show merely respect for the dead, but we are here to learn a lesson from him who has gone before. THE McGHEE MEMORIAL Services will be held at 2:30 P. M., on Sunday, Sept. 29, in memory of late Frederick L. McGhee at Pilgrim Baptist Church, St. Paul. A program has been arranged—and the following speakers will appear: Fr. A. H. Lealtad, Mrs. Lillian Turner, Atty. B. S. Smith, Atty. William T. Francis, Miss Frances Elliott will read a poem by Arthur V. Hall, subj. "I've fought a good fight." (Atty. McGhee's last words) The vocal numbers include Mdme, Addie C. Minor, Mrs. Mattle Campbell, Mr. Claude H. Jackson and The Cosmopolitan Quartette. O. C. Hall will preside. The Press and Business Enterprises. That the best of feeling should exist between the press, business concerns, secret and social society is self evident. Each should be a promoter of the other's interest, for therein lies mutual benefit. The National Negro Press association at its recent annual meeting voiced its sentiments in this direction by adopting strong resolutions calling for closer union between commercial enterprises and newspapers as essential to greater industrial progress. Two Necessary Elements to Success. In 1894 R. L. Houston of Fort Worth, Tex., was working as a porter on a salary of $3 per week. A few years ago Mr. Houston went into the undertaking business and now owns a block of houses in the business section of the town. He is highly respected by both colored and white citizens. He ascribes his success to economy and strict attention to business. READ THE STAR—IT'S NEWS. "GRATITUDE" MEANS MALIGNANT ATTACK UPON ROOSEVELT Taft's Tirade Not New to Men Who Know Him. When Seeking the Presidency In 1908 He Strove to Appear as a Stanch Progressive—Wore a Mask For Two Years—Has Now Openly Stamped Himself as a Reactionary. Washington, April. - Stung to the quick by his belated recognition of the long patent fact that the voters of the Republican party had repudiated his candidacy for renomination and are overwhelmingly in favor of the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt as their candidate for the presidency this year. Mr. Taft has at last thrown aside restraint and carried out the threat which he has been nurturing to his intimates for some weeks to speak out in public his real thoughts about the man who made him president. In Mr. Taft's tirade against Mr. Roosevelt at Springfield, Mass., there is nothing essentially new to those who have been on anything more than relations of casual intimacy with the president for some time. It is a fact known to not a few of those closely connected with the campaign of 1908 that even at that time the Taft family was displaying that peculiarly malignant temper toward Mr. Roosevelt which so often takes the place of gratitude in the hearts of those who have benefited by a great service rendered by a friend. It is a fact known to not a few persons that at times during the campaign of 1908 the talk about Mr. Roosevelt among members of the Taft family was such as to cause the greatest uneasiness to the managers of Mr. Taft's campaign for the presidency, lest it should become public and work serious damage to the campaign. Those familiar with the true feeling toward Mr. Roosevelt in the Taft family have been surprised that Mr. Taft has concealed for so long his real attitude toward his benefactor. From the time last fall when the strong sentiment of the country in favor of Colonel Roosevelt began to manifest itself unmistakably, there has been much talk from Taft sources about Colonel Roosevelt's ingratitude to Mr. Taft. It has been assumed by Mr. Taft's partisans that, because Colonel Roosevelt was instrumental in bringing about Mr. Taft's nomination and election to the presidency, he was therefore bound at all times, under all circumstances and at all costs, to support Mr. Taft's administration and Mr. Taft's renomination and election. That assumption is entirely unwarranted and has no logical justification. The fact is that Taft, the president, is not and never for one moment has been the Taft Mr. Roosevelt and his estimate as sociates knew as secretary of war and whom they supported as a candidate for the presidency. While Mr. Taft was seeking the presidency he constantly sought to appear as a stanch and true progressive. But on that November night in 1908 when the count of the votes showed that he had been elected to tife presidency, he ceased to make any effort actually to be a progressive. For some time he continued to wear a mask as a progressive, but in the last two years of his presidency he has not kept up even that feeble effort to deceive the people of the country. By his constant association with the Aldriches, the Cannons and the Lormmers, by his ready submission to their influence and advice, by his active support of the measures they devised and favored; by his co-operation with them in matters of patronage, and by his unblushing attempt to coerce the real progressives through the brazen use of federal patronage, he has stamped himself openly as the reactionary which he has always been at heart. A single illustration will suffice for the demonstration of this proposition. In his speech at Cincinnati, in July, 1908, accepting the nomination for the presidency, Mr. Taft took occasion to reiterate his indorsement of Mr. Roosevelt and to enumerate some of the acts which he regarded as the distinctly beneficial achievements of his predecessor. In that speech he said: "He (Mr. Roosevelt) recommended the passage of a law, which the Republican convention has since specifically approved, restricting the future issue of stocks and bonds by interstate railways to such as may be authorized by feredal authority. He demonstrated to the people by what he said, by what he recommended to congress, and by what he did, the sincerity of his efforts to command respect for the law, and to save the country from the dangers or a putroctic government toward which we were fast tending." prioritize government toward which we were fast tending." In numerous speeches during the campaign of 1908 Mr. Taft declared his cordial support of Mr. Roosevelt's proposition to secure the enactment of a law controlling the issue of securities by interstate carriers. When he became president, he pretended to make such a law one of the paramount measures of his legislative program. He caused to be prepared, with much advertisement and publicity, a bill purporting to contain provisions aimed at such control of the issue of securities. This bill was drafted by the eminently successful corporation lawyer whom Mr. Taft had placed at the head of the department of justice. The moment that bill was read by the genuine progressives of the senate and house, they denounced its provisions to control the issue of securities as intended really to further the designs of the railroad reactionaries and the special interests whom Mr. Taft has steadily sought to please from the day he was inaugurated. After a hardight in the house, the Taft-Wickersham provisions were stricken from the bill and a substitute provision was adopted which at least embodied a recognition of the principle of federal control over the issue of such securities, and was, therefore, a distinct step in advance. When that measure reached the senate, Mr. Taft's allies and cronies there were vastly distributed by this provision. Aldrich, Crane, Penrose, Gallinger and all the other representatives of the special interests in the senate at once protested against it. These were the men with whom Mr. Taft was associating intimately, with whom he was working constantly, and upon whom he was relying for support in the senate. They were the same men who had most vigorously opposed his nomination when they, like Mr. Roosevelt, believed him to be a real progressive, but already they had learn that his progressiveness was merely a mask worn for the purpose of securing the presidency. They knew now that he was as good a reactionary as any of them and they counted upon his support in defeating this provision for the control of the issue of securities by interstate carriers. They did not count in vain. With Mr. Taft's knowledge and convance, they arranged a deal with the Democratic opposition in the senate whereby they not only struck from the bill this provision which was in accordance with the Republican platform and the many speeches of Mr. Taft's campaign, but they stopped the further efforts of the real progressives in the senate to make the railroad bill, of which this provision was a part, a genuinely effective and valuable measure. Then they inserted in the bill as a sop to the public clamor for real legislation a provision for the appointment of a commission which was to determine not the method by which the government was to exercise its right to control the issue of securities by interstate carriers, but whether or not the government had such power. The appointment of this commission was a stultification of the Republican platform and of every speech Mr. Taft had made in support of that platform. It was fair notice to the whole country that from that day forward no faith or credence could be given by the country to any declaration of any Republican platform upon which Mr. Taft might be running for office. But now, in the face of this incontrovertible fact, and of scores more of exactly similar purport and effect. Mr. Taft has the effrontery to stand before a public audience and denounce Theodore Roosevelt and present himself in the attitude of the one who has the right to feel aggrieved. It is an astounding exhibition of willingness to deceive the people of the country in the effort to secure office. Wealthy Western Pioneer Leaves Estate to Booker T. Washington It is reported that Hiram H. Starr, a wealthy western pioneer, died recently, leaving all of his estate to Dr. Booker T. Washington, to be used for educational purposes in connection with the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. Mr. Starr resided in Falls City, Ore., and was a member of the Free Methodist Episcopal church. He was never married and was eighty-five years of age. A nephew in Maricopa, Cal., is said to be the only surviving relative. Henry Lincoln Johnson's New Client.

Variety of Food Products Raised at the Alabama Institute. The industries at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute are grouped into three departments, the school of agriculture, the industries for girls and the department of mechanical industries. The courses in agriculture are given in Milbank hall, a modern building erected in 1909 at a cost of $26,000. Farming was the first industry started at the institute, and the school farm in thirty years has grown until it embraces 2,300 acres. Of this eighty acres form a truck garden on which is raised produce for the school, eighty acres constitute an orchard, 840 acres form the tract for general farming, while 1,300 acres comprise an area given over to pastures and woodland. The dairy herd contains 227 head of cattle, breeders, yearlings and calves, with 106 milk cows "at the pail." The farm also has 502 hogs and 145 horses, mules and colts, while the poultry yard contains 3,000 fowls. The farm work is carried on by 228 students, forty hired men and eighteen instructors. Last year 632 tons of ensiage, 12,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, 3,500 bushels of corn and 3,650 bushels of oats were grown on the general farm, while the truck garden yielded 115,453 pounds of greens, 1,116 dozen bunches of lintuce, 465 bushels of onions, 3,571 watermelons, 358 bushels of beans, 58 bushels of beets, 783 bushels of tomatoes, 321 bushels of rutabagas, 3,150 dozen ears of green corn, 2,004 melons and cantaloupes, 57 bushels of white potatoes and 258 bushels of peas, this enumeration being given as an indication of the variety of the table at Tuskegee and the manner in which the pupils are being saturated in one of the many ideas of Tuskegee that one indication of civilization is a variety of food products. "One of God's objects in surrounding us with vegetables, with grain, berries and flowers," says Booker Washington, "it to help us to make our bodies better fitted for the uses of life, to make our bodies stronger, to make them more healthful. When I go to church and hear people preach for hours on all kinds of subjects, especially in country districts, where the soil is fitted for growing all kinds of vegetables, all kinds of fowl, how much I wish the minister would take a few hours and teach the people how to fill their bodies with some of the beautiful things with which nature has surrounded them." OLDEST PROPERTY OWNER Richard Allen First Holder in Pennsylvania—Other Historical Data. Philadelphia.—When the first colored people owned property in the state of Pennsylvania is not definitely known. The records show that William Penn in his will, made in 1701, bequeathed 100 acres of land to one of his slaves whom he called "Old Sam." But there is no record of this land ever being transferred to Sam. Ninety years later, however, on Oct. 10, 1701, a property was purchased from Mark and Mary Wilcox of Philadelphia by Richard Allen and Flora his wife. On Oct. 13, 1701, a property was sold to the African Methodist Episcopal church, which is possibly the oldest property holder among the colored people in Pennsylvania. In 1796, in the minutes of the convention of the Society for the Promotion of the Abolition of Slavery, eighty-nine Negroes are reported as proprietors of houses, the average of which is said to be in the neighborhood of $200. In 1821 the assessed value of personal property owned by Negroes was $112,464, with a market value estimated to be $281,163. Eleven years later, in 1832, the colored people sent a memorial to the Pennsylvania legislature against an effort to disfranchise them, and in this memorial they state that they pay taxes on property to the amount of $2,500 and that their property, personal and real, has a market value of something like $300,000. In 1849 Edward Needles, a very prominent anti-slavery worker, reported in his book on "The Condition of Colored People" that there were 315 Negro property owners in the city of Philadelphia having real estate and personal property valued at $630,886, and seven years later the same author enlarged upon his book, giving new information. This latter report showed that $9,766.42 was paid in taxes and that the value of their real estate and personal property was $2,685,693. In his study of the Philadelphia Negro, published about 1899, Dr. W. E. Burghardt Dubois estimated that there was something like $5,000,000 worth of property owned by colored people.

Mr. Nicholson was appointed to the department Dec. 7, 1890. Ambition of Charles Henry Foster. The ambitious youth of any race who is bent on bettering his condition and who is willing to make the sacrifices necessary to accomplish his aim will succeed. An example of this kind was recently manifested by Charles Henry Foster, who is said to have walked from Chicago to Exeter, N. H., for the purpose of entering Exeter academy. Importance of the Literary Society. While there are numerous organizations for mutual benefit in a financial way among our people throughout the country, we should not underrate the importance of the literary or debating society. There should be two or three such organizations in every large city where our people form any considerable number of the population. Nothing is more helpful to the young men and women as the opportunity to develop their intellectual knowledge through the agency of the Literary society. GROWING BETTER. That conditions are growing better instead of worse is proved by the exposures and the relegating to private life of those who would serve two masters. When men in public life become imbued with the idea that they are the servants and the people their masters, then will this country enjoy representative government—C. E. Broughton. The Twin City Star has the exclusive use in this city of the Afro-American news service of the American Press Assn., edited by Mr. N. B. Dodson of N.

The next great war will be fought for the enfranchisement of the disfranchised colored citizens of the south who are still denied the right of suffrage, as guaranteed to all citizens of the United States by the national constitution. To lay claim to state rights in the matter of regulating the suffrage is simply begging the question. The constitution does not disfranchise a single citizen, native born or naturalized. Let us hope, however, that it will be a war of legal enactments which will cause to be enforced the constitutional rights of all citizens regardless of race or previous condition of servitude. David Nelson's Success on the Farm. The success of Mr. David Nelson as a farmer who started out for himself without a dollar after the war has been remarkable.

First Colored Bandmaster Appointed to Position In United States Army Has Proved His Worth as an Instructor-Commanding Officers and Men Proud of Him. Fort Russell, Wyo.-The Ninth cavalry military band, now stationed here, is a first class organization which owes its success to the careful training of Wade H. Hammond, the first colored bandmaster appointed to instruct colored musicians in the United States army. Heretofore military bands, like colored troops, have been trained by white men. Mr. Hammond is an experiment, and he appears to have put all doubts to rest as to his ability to "deliver the goods." His success has been marvelous. The men under him have responded to his methods of teaching in a way which has excited the admiration of the commanding officers of the post. Their skill and proficiency as performers have caused unstinted praise US DIRECTOR W. H. HAMMOND. to be showered upon Director Hammond for his painstaking and intelligent instruction of the men committed to him for training. So entirely satisfactory is Director Hammond's work, not alone to his immediate commanding officer, but to the men who compose the Ninth cavalry band, that they have decided to make up a large fund to enable him to spend his furlough in Europe, where he will have an opportunity to study the methods of army bands and concert orchestra of the old world. This is indeed a high compliment to the professional ability of this colored musical director. Hitherto this field has been monopolized almost entirely by white bandmasters, and they have not always been in thorough sympathy with the men under them. The success of this band disproves the oft repeated statement that colored men will not be led by colored officers in the army and that they are better led by white men. Director Hammond's men seem to have responded more readily to his methods of instruction than the white officers commanding the post had expected, and the experiment of a colored bandmaster for a colored band has been shown to be such a howling success that other worthy and competent men ambitious to win honors and distinction in this branch of the military service of the United States will now have little difficulty in finding a market for their wares. Colored bandmasters have flourished in Europe for years. Some of the best musicians in the world are black men. They are scattered all over Europe, South America, Brazil, Spain, the West Indies and France. Some of the best bands in the West Indies are led by black men, and the bands in Brazil, Porto Rico, old Spain and Cuba are some of them not only led by black men, but are largely composed of black men. The first colored band in America to make a concert tour of Europe and the continent was the celebrated Frank Johnson's band of Philadelphia, which some sixty or seventy years ago went to England and by special command of Queen Victoria played before her majesty in Buckingham palace, winning great applause from its distinguished auditors. It subsequently toured continental Europe in concert, returning to this country flushed with honors and considerable cash. The Ninth cavalry band is a comer- indeed, it has already arrived. The inate pride of its members will impel them now that the ice has been broken to strive to attain to the highest degree of excellence under the leadership of Mr. Hammond, who is so splendidly proving his worth to his race and breaking down the barriers of caste by his acknowledged ability as a first class instructor. HUMOR OF THE DAY IN THE REALM The Intelligent Steward. In addition to myself and the postcard flend, I discovered that our passenger list was made up of Dutch, French, English, Germans, Spanish, Swiss, Portuguese, Moorish and Javanese. We can all speak our own language with varying degrees of fluency, including the stewards, who are Javanese. We communicate with the stewards either through the officers or by dumb show. I am glad to report that I am rapidly developing a latent gift for the dying art of pantomime. Hunger and thirst are good teachers. On the first morning, for example, wishing to take my usual bath, I rang the bell. It was answered by my cabin boy. "Bath?" I inquired. He smiled delightedly. "May I have a bath?" I persisted. He nodded, disappeared and returned an instant later with an orange. "No," I said. "Bath." To assist the simple statement I waved my arms about rather wildly, the intention being to imitate one bathing. "Yah!" he cried, disappeared again and came back with a blanket. "No," I said. "I am not cold. Wait a moment." Springing from my bunk, I sat down on the floor of the cabin and went through the motion of one sluing himself with water. I took great pains over the matter, and I really think it was well done. "Yah, yah!" he cried, and ran off. In less than two minutes he was back with a live hen.—London Sketch. Has Twenty-five Cent Campaign Fund. Logically, if large expenditures at and before primary elections are an evil, small ones approach political blessedness and deserve approving publicity. Salute, then, Sergeant Charles C. Campbell of Sandusky, O., for conspicuous gallantry in preserving both his financial integrity and his sense of humor through a recent unsuccessful campaign for re-election to his county central committee. As a statement of campaign expenses, the sergeant fled the following report: "To four glasses of beer at 5 cents each, 20 cents. "To one glass of beer for a fellow who said he carried the precinct in his pocket, although the returns prove that he was mistaken, 5 cents. "Total, 25 cents."—Collier's Weekly. Modest Request That a reputation for oratorical excellence may have its handicap is illustrated by the experience in Arkansas of a certain member of congress noted for his mellifluous tongue. On one occasion this statesman was traveling in a little visited section of the state mentioned when he stopped overnight in a log cabin inhabited by an old man and wife. After breakfast the next morning the host, who had been in a flutter of excitement ever since he learned the identity of his distinguished guest, said he would like to make one slight request before the visitor departed. "Couldn't you," he said, with evident anxiety—"couldn't you jest make my wife and me a little speech before leave' in us?"—Harper's Magazine. Very Romantic. The young girl was greatly excited. "I am told you once met the great composer, Rossinl," she cried. "Yes," said the old man, "I met him once." "You met the great composer of 'William Tell?'" "The same." "How grand! How very romantic! And would you please tell me what he had to say." "Well, he didn't have very much to say. He was eating spaghetti at the time, and you know that doesn't facilitate conversation." — Kansas City Journal. Seldom Employed. "A husky young man like you ought not to be begging. Why don't you work?" "I'd like to ma'am, but I ain't had but one job in two weeks and that didn't last more than a couple of minutes." "What kind of a job could it have been that lasted only two minutes?" "I held an automobile so it wouldn't get scared and run away when the fire department went by."—Buffalo Express. The Giveaway. "Jane," said her father, "how does it happen that I find four good cigars on the mantelpiece this morning? Did Henry leave them for me?" "No, he took them out of his vest pocket to avoid breaking them last night, and I guess he forgot all about them afterward." "The laugh that followed made her wish she had been as careful with her speech as Henry had been with his cigars—Detroit Free Press. Binks—They say that Smith is a mean man. Jinks—Mean! Should say he was. Why, he feeds his canary three times a day and keeps the seed trough out of the cage between meals to save expense.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Something Badly Needed. Patience—I see somebody has just got out a patent for a gun slencer. Patrice—Why don't some one get busy and invent one which can be attached to a soup spoon. I wonder?—Yonkers Statesman. The Limit Pretty Foulard Frock A modish design for a foulard gown is illustrated. The foulard is the ever popular navy blue, coin dotted in black and white. Self tone satin ribbon is used for the brettles and to outline the bib portion on the bodice. There is also a wide square yoke of lace. A GOTH DOTTED SILK DRESS. The underskirt is of the foulard, the slashed tunic and blib of black mousse-line de sole with border of blue satin ribbon. There is a narrow crushed girdle of ribbon without ends. With this is worn a hat of navy blue chip trimmed with one black and one white wing. Bridge Baga. Shot taffeta hand bags to use with taffeta bridge gowns are dalyne little affairs. At the bottom the taffeta is gathered around a little mirror, and the sides are drawn up with successive cordings, the bag swinging from the arm. The bridge bag should be just large enough to hold a handkerchief and the gold and silver pieces which change hands in the game, the number and amount of these varying according to the social status of the players. In some rather fashionable bridge games stakes run high, and gold pieces of substantial denomination are necessary to pay milady's losses at the end of an afternoon. These bags may be worn with silk gowns for any occasion. SMART GLOVES FOR OUTDOOR WEAR. Chamols and Leather or Fabrics Imitating Them Fashionable. Duck's foot yellow is the new shade in gloves for morning wear, and gloves of this shade are worn no matter whether they match the costume or not. Gloves for outdoor are an important item of the wardrobe of the girl who takes pride in the appearance of her hands, for she realizes that only by covering them can she prevent the finger nails from breaking, the cuticle from tanning and the palms from hardening. For golfing and tennis the most satisfactory gloves are of chamois which becomes softer every time it is washed. Gloves in two button lengths, which perfectly protect the wrists, come in natural color, gun metal and white. Looking like chamois but of a fabric which is said to wear better and to wash quite as well are driving gloves with strap fastenings and stitch edged loose cuffs. Riding gloves of a fabric closely resembling natural colored, white or gray leather, but much more comfortable for warm weather service, have mousquetaire wrists and plain backs or are in gauntlet style with the very widely stitched backs which make a generously proportioned hand look less broad. Walking gloves with mousquetaire wrists and straps have the becoming back stitching and are of taffeta, chamois, suede or glace plaque materials which are also made up in white, pearl, slate, brown, beaver, gray, bois or tan, the gloves fastening with one or two large claps. If the hands perspire profusely the most satisfactory gloves for dances are those of plain silk which may be laundered by soaking them in castle soaped warm water and allowing them to dry gradually in a shaded place, or of embroidered silk which may be cleaned with French chalk. The secret of having such gloves always fresh, is to cleanse them after each wearing as a very little rubbing will remove a small stain, whereas the hard usage necessary to eradicate the grime of several wearings will prove injurious to the fabric.

THE RULE OF TRE revree: The national Progressive party committed to the principle of govern: ment by a self-controlied democracy expressing Ite will through represen: tatives of the people pledges itself to secure such alterations in the funda mental law of the several states and of the United States as shall Insure the representative character of the government. In particular this party declares for direct primaries for the nomination of state and national officers, for na tion-wide preferential primaries for candidates for the presidency, for the direct election of United States sena tors by the people; and we urge on the states the policy of the short bal lot with responsibility to. the people and recall ‘This is the plank in the platform secured by the initiative, referendum condeming States’ Rights, and the re vival of the Civil Rights Bill, which the Republicans never passed. [ BETTER POLITICS. Something can be done by good laws, more can be done by honest administration of the Jaws, but most of all can be done by frowning resolutely on the preachers of vague discontent. In our political and social life allke, in order permanently to succeed, we must base our ton- uct on the Decalogue and the Golden Rule Quack remedies of the universal cure-all type are generally as noxious to the body politie as to the body corporal. ‘We must do our duty by the state. We must frown down dishonesty and corruption and war for honesty and righteous- ness.—Theodore Roosevelt. Unjust Laws Tend to Bresd Strife The city council at Portsmouth, Vi: fs puzzling its brains in an attempt te form a segregation ordinance whieh will conform to the state law. The ordinance committee baw flually refer red the whole matter to Acting City Attorney R. Clifford Barclay and City Engineer Cassell.

The market value of these holdings te put ‘at $3,735,000, In Pittsburgh the number of Afro American property owners is 643, witt an assessed and market valuation o1 $1,437,060 and $2,158,830 respectively In eighty-seven towns and cities the number of property owners is 1,072 and the assessed and market value of thelr property is $1,351,217 and $2,316, 805, In the remaining eighteen towns the record shows 578 owners of prop- erty, with a total assessed and market valuation of $1,214,500. The grand to tal {9 as follows: Number of property owners, 3,373; valuation, $9,420,195. A great deal of the property of Ne groes Is In churches. Among the varl- ‘ous influences which the church has bad has been the encouragement of co operative buying of church properties Many Negroes learned for the frst ‘time what a deed meant or a builder's contract or a mortgage, ete., from his ‘participation in chureh buying and building. The census department re- ported in 1906 that Negroes owned about $58,000,000 worth of church “property in the United States. Of this fully $50,000,000 worth was “unencumbered. As will be seen, Penn: sylvania Negroes own more than thelr "share, which is due largely to the fact | that in this state Negro churches took Foot very early and have always been encouraged as one of the influential factors for the better development of the race, ‘There are about 150 Baptist churehes in the state of Pennsylvania, but only seventy-three of them reported their value, which was put at $785,230, an average of about $17,850 each. These. of course, were the best properties. The balance of about 100 churches includes about fty which are more or less temporary and own but -little Property, If the average of these 100 Baptist churches is $1,000, that would give an Additional $100,000 of church property and a total of $885,230, the value of the property of Negro Baptists. There are 196 African Methodist churche: In the state, of which 136 are of the Af- rican Methodist Episcopal denomina- tion and sixty African Methodist Eplscopal Zion denomination, Of the former 106 reported at the last conference session a property valuation of $1,067,213. Allowing & valuation of $100 each for the thirty- six not zeported, we have 186 proper- tles of the African Methodist Episco- pal church in the state of Pennsyl- Vania valued at $1,097,218, Of the latter, forty-six reported property Valued at $063,824, an average of about $12,000 each. If the average value of the remaining fourteen African Methodist Episcopal Zion churches 1s $1,000, the total valuation would be about $567,824, There were fourteen Presbyterian churches whose vaine ts estimated at $190,000 and eight Eptscopal churches valued at about $100,000. There are u number of Negro congregations of tive Methodist Episcopal church, the chief ‘ones being In Philadelphia and Pitts- burgh. ‘They own about $250,000 worth of property. Other churches are the A. U. M. P., the Church of God, Congregational 0. M. E. church, and several Indeperident churches who own property valued at about $100,000. This would make the total amount of church property owned by Negroes approximately, as follows: Baptists, $885,230; A. M. B., 1,067,213; A. M. E. Zion, $567,824; Methodist (north), $20,000; Presbyterian, $190,- 000; Episcopalian, $100,000; other de- nominations, $100,000, ‘Total value of church property, $3,100.267. By the above It ts seen that in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the assessed value of property, ex- clusive of churches, is $4,238.835; that in elghty-seven other cities and towns the assessed value of 1,072 properties fs $1,351,217, making a total of $5,- 580.552, having a market Value of $,- 205,685. ‘To this market value must be added the estimated holdings of Negroes in eighteen other cities and towns with a market value of $1,214,500 and $8, 100,260, the value of chureh property, making tote! of $12,580,455 as the value holdings of Negroes in this state. If we consider the difficulty of ob- taining data, and scan carefully the Ust of places reported, we must con- clude that this estimate ts possible 25 Per cent under the real boldings of Negroes In the state. It ts estimated that they own property, the most con- servative vatimate of whose value ts ee ee ee TWIN CITY STAR A REAL NEWSPAPER. ‘A newspaper isn't simply a bere chronicler of events.

But it trusts this doesn’t often hap- pen. Not often, does it? RACE HAS HIGH IDEALS. Pres. Taft recently said that “the Colored Race has high ideals.” That's just why they are supporting Roose- velt in whom they realize a cham pion of right, not an apologist like Pres. Taft, who has sustained the Dred Scott decision by refusing to ap point Negroes to offices wherever It ‘was objectionable to white men, and who by the appointment of Southern Confederates to the Supreme Bench Mas denied the Negroes thelr Con. stitutional Rights. Roosevelt never closed the door of hope in the face of the Negro, RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

People who do us harm in the end are not the wrongdoers ‘whom all execrate. They are the men who do not do quite as much wrong, but who are ap- plauded instead of being exe- crated, The career of Benedict Arnold has done us no barm as ‘a nation because of the univer- sal horror it inspired. ‘The men who have done us barm are those who have advocated dis- union, but have done it so that they have been enabled to keep thelr political position; who have advocated repudiation uf debts or other financial dishonesty, but have kept thelr standing in the community; who preach the doctrines of anarchy, but refrain from action that will bring them within the pale of the law, for these men lead thousands astray by the fact that they go unpun- ished or even are rewarded for thelr misdeeds.—'Theodore Roose- velt. THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN SCANDAL. ‘The president {8 lke the high-mind- ed president of a public service cor- poration who wants his general man- ager or counsel to get results in council and legislature, but is unwil- ling to hear anything about the necessary means. We do not hear of any refusal of the president to permit Southern delegates to the Republican national convention to vote for him, but he is taking great pains to pass on the other side of all unpleasant details Involved in arranging for this support of his candidacy. ‘The Republican party in the South is @ permanent scandal. It -has no following, since its Negroes have been disfranchised and its whites ostra elsed, and only leaders enough to fil the federal and organization offices. ‘Extracts from Minneapolis Tribune.
