MINNEAPOLIS Minn. Historical Society DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST. PAUL BISHOP WALTERS ON THE PROBLEM Eminent Churchman Explains His Position in Politics. LOYAL TO INTEREST OF RAGE. Outlines History and Meaning of the True Principles of Government by and For the People—Human Slavery Not Chargeable to Acts of Any One Political Party. "In advocating a division of the Negro vote I have met with severe criticism from some people that ought to know better," says Bishop Alexander Walters. "However, much of the criticism is unfounded. It is the same old cry heard in other days, 'Our raft is in danger.' Since I have nothing but the good of my people at heart I have nothing to fear nor need I be disturbed by the unjust criticism so freely indulged in in some quarters. "It has been said that I desire all the Negroes to vote the Democratic ticket. I want nothing of the kind, nor have I ever by speech, letter or otherwise advised such a course. We should be as badly of politically as we are now if all the Negroes entitled to the franchise were to go over to the Democratic party. Our present political fills have largely come through the solidarity of the Negro vote. "If Democracy stands for anything at all it stands for the brotherhood of man and the rule of the people. And the principles of Democracy will triumph ultimately. It is the light in our republic that is to shine more and more unto the perfect day. Its growth is continuous. The Negro, being member of this great republic, will be a recipient of its blessings." "Governor Folk of Missouri says: "Governor Folk of Missouri says: "Democracy would have all unite in enforcing the laws and in counteracting any attempt to defy them. It would not array class against class, but would protect the rights of all by having each respect the rights of the other. It would not attack wealth honestly acquired, but would wage unending war against the privileges that produce tainted riches on one side and underserved poverty on the other side. "It would protect property rights, but would recognize that property rights are best protected by preserving involve the public rights. It would not combat men, but the evil men do. It would seek as a remedy for existing evils, not less government by the people, but more government by the people. "It would place conscience above cunning and the public good above private greed. It would not offer a man an advantage in the way of a subsidy or bounty or protective tariff, enabling him to make money at the expense of his fellow men, but it would assure him that it would give no one else such a special privilege over him. "It would also guarantee to all an equal opportunity to live and labor and enjoy the gains of honest toll." "I admit, so far as the Negro is concerned, the Democratic party has not lived up to its high principles. Human slavery has been the great stumbling block for which the Democratic party was not wholly responsible. Long, long before any Democratic party was formed in this country slavery existed here, and it was the economic value of the slave that caused the perpetuity of the institution. "The southern climate, so much like the native habitat of the African, was suited to him and he to it. It responded to his touch, producing in abundance cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar cane, etc. He lived, thrived and made the southland blossom like a rose. He was considered a necessity, and schemes were devised to enslave him forever. Neither Federalists, Democrats, Whigs nor Republicans were responsible for its beginning, but rather the rulers of England who permitted the slave trade, thus enriching themselves. "For a time slavery existed both north and south. The cold climate of the north made slavery unprofitable in that section, while the southern states formed a suitable field for slave labor in the production of its staple products. With this discovery came the defense of the system. And on and on it went until the system was hedged about with laws enacted by state legislature and the national congress. Next came the agitation against slavery by those who perceived the iniquity of the institution and that slavery was a menace to the continuation of the republic. "The next act in the drama was the civil war, which resulted in the overthrow of the system. The party which accomplished this wonderful feat was the party of Lincoln, Seward, Sumner. sevenths, Grant and others—the republican party. The Republican party having freed the slaves, there was nothing else for it to do but to make them secure in their freedom. This was done by the passage of the thirteenth amendment to the federal constitution, which reads as follows: "Section 1.—Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been convicted, shall exist in the United States in any place subject to their jurisdiction. "The wise statesmen who had led the party so far in legislation in the interest of the black man saw that it was necessary to go a step further and make the Negro a full-fledged citizen." Northeastern Federation Believes Gov- ernment Car Stops Mob Violence ermment Can Stop Mob Violence. The committee on resolutions at the recent meeting of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs held in Jersey City, N. J., made the following report, which was adopted: We, the resolutions committee of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, assembled in Jersey City, N. J., in the Lafayette Presbyterian church, beg to submit for your consideration and adoption the following resolutions: Resolved, That we unanimously express our gratitude to the Entertaining club, the Afro-American Women's Industrial league, also to the Art club, which so ably assisted them, and to the mayor of the city for his cordial words of welcome; also to the pastor and members of the Lafayette Presbyterian church. Resolved. That we extend our hearty thanks to the little pages and to all those who faithfully served on the program and that we congratulate the race for the splendid number of graduates who have come from our schools and colleges this year to graduate in law or to graduate for their sacrifice and perseverance, thereby making it possible for these graduates to reach the desired goal. Resolved. That we deplore the steady increase of lynchings and the continued apathy of the United States government when not enforcing the constitution even when women and children are being held in jail in the United States government does anything it deems best for the protection of American citizens, so feel act 6 and others similar of the constitution make it possible for the government to prevent lynchings without state legislation. That we extend to the National Association For the Advancement of Women, thanks for its great work in protecting and advancing the rights of our people. As we carefully look with microscopic eyes over the platforms of the two great political parties in our country we see no solution of our great American problem. We beg every woman here and at home connected with this body to pray, labor, and sacrifice in our work united in the solving of our problem. Miss Roberta J.

Smith Questions Count of Africa Americans in Cleveland In giving the Afro-American population of the four largest cities in Ohio the 1910 census credits Cincinnati with 19,696; Columbus, 12,800; Springfield, 4,945; and Cleveland, 8,736. The Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, who is a resident of Cleveland, takes exception to the small number credited to his home city. Mr. Smith says there are 20,000 Afro-Americans in Cleveland, if there is one. Eight or ten thousand of them can be gathered together in one place in the city without that number being scarcely missed in another part of the town. According to Mr. Smith's statement, there are over 9,000 of our people directly or indirectly connected with the churches and missions, which number about fifteen. The figures as above given were tabulated by Professor M. M. Curtiss of Cleveland, who had charge of the 1910 census for the department of commerce and labor in Cleveland and vicinity.

HIGH PRICES AS AN ISSUE People Are Comparing Low Prices Paid Farmers With High Cost to Consumers—Another of Willis L. Moore's Prophecies Goes Wrong Campaign Heads Good Forgetters. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Oct. 3.—[Special.]—it is to be doubted whether the high cost of living will figure as prominently in the election this year as it did in the congressional campaign two years ago. Of course there is still a great deal of complaint about the high prices, but there is not quite such a strong disposition to load the blame upon the party in power and its tariff legislation. Gradually the Republican speakers and the literary bureaues are getting before the people their side of the question and trying to prove that high prices prevail everywhere. They are backing these statements with reports from foreign countries, the United States consuls having been particularly active in sending such reports to the government here. At the same time there is a great deal of complaint heard among city people about the continued increase in cost of articles which they have had to buy, more especially meats. It would not be surprising to see a strong effort made this winter to put all kinds of meat products on the free list, as it is claimed there would be a reduction in price in that event. The Farmer's Part. Cattle raisers will, of course, object to free meat and free cattle, and those who talk for the farmers will say they ought not to suffer because the price of meat is so high. Curiously enough, the prices of food products do not come down, even with the enormous crops, and yet it is asserted that the farmers are not getting very good prices for their products in comparison with the prices which city consumers are paying. Out in the country it is said that many kinds of fruit are rotting on the ground because the growers cannot get enough money to pay for pickling it and bringing it to market, while the people in the cities are paying a very good price for fruit. The old question of the middleman taking too much between the producer and consumer comes into play in regard to the prices which the farmer gets for his products and what the householder pays in the markets. Makes Discontent. These conditions make people discontented, and they may show it in their votes in November, just as they showed it two years ago. The party in power suffers when people are dissatisfied. That has always been the case. Naturally the question arises as to how far the dissatisfaction extends and whether there has not been a decided change in this respect within the past year. One of Moore's Troubles. One of Moore's troubles. Once in awhile Professor Willis L. Moore says or does something that haunts him for months. Two predictions with reference to inauguration day which went wrong pursued him ever after. Not long ago he remarked that there was no such thing as an equinoctial storm. Beginning on the 22d of September and lasting for several days there was a storm of such magnitude in this region as to cause comment. The people who are weather wise went for Moore and his weather bureau. Right on the heels of his statement came the storm. Of course it was "the equinoctial." It couldn't be anything else. They had considerable fun with Moore about it, as he is somewhat sensitive on such subjects. Learning to Forget. It appears from the investigation in progress now that many campaign managers and their assistants have been learning to forget as rapidly as they can since the elections. That is one excellent thing about campaign managers. They forget all about the money collected and how it was spent. Billy Hughes to the Front. Billy Hughes to the Front. When William Hughes came to congress from the Sixth New Jersey district he gave no promise that he would in time become such a prominent figure in New Jersey politics. "Billy" Hughes was a good natured, boyish sort of a fellow, one of the men who was everlastingly working in the interests of labor, but no one guessed he was of senatorial size. Hughes came steadily onward, nowever, landing on the committee on ways and means which has often proved a stepping stone to the senate. In the preliminary presidential campaign he became intensely identified with Governor Wilson's interests, and judging by the votes cast for him, that was a good card. His advance has been rapid. Yellow or Red. Colonel Roosevelt hammered at the yellow Taft budges some time ago. But no one heard Mr. Taft saying anything publicly about the red bandanna. Is this to be a war of colors like the "war of the roses" centuries ago? Hotel Accommodations in Baltimore. With the formal opening of Smith's hotel on Druld Hill avenue, Baltimore, on Tuesday, Oct. 1, the colored people of Baltimore will have access to one of the finest and best equipped hotels owned by a member of the race in the United States. The building is a three story brick edifice 47 by 90 feet and is a credit to the skill and industry of its proprietors, Messrs. Thomas R. and Wallace L. Smith. The rathskeller, grill room and bar are on the first floor. The second and third floors are devoted to bedrooms, special suits and drawing rooms. Good Work of Brooklyn Mothers' Club. The Brooklyn Mothers' club will direct its attention during the month of October to the task of raising funds to be used in connection with the proposed erection of a home for delinquent youths. In order to give the general public the opportunity of assisting in this worthy cause the club will give a musical and literary enthrancement at the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association on Thursday evening, Oct. 31. 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 the direction by adopting strong resolutions calling for closer union between commercial enterprises and newspaper 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. Mr. Thos. H. Lyles, of St. Paul, is the leading Negro undertaker of the Northwest. Mr. Lyles fully demonstrated his ability to successfully handle funerals on the day of the burials of Atty. McGhee and Mr. Will. Salters. He has so mastered his art that he can give a lifelike appearance to a corpse, under almost any circumstances. He is careful in every detail, and his extremely courteous manner to the general public, and his honest methods, have won the conte Attucks Home last week was fidence of the entire community. Mr. Lyles is known for his punctuality. Everything goes smoothly under his management, and it can be safely said that he is one of the most up-to-date Funeral Directors of our race. He has at his command every facility for perfecting funeral arrangements, and he is a man who enjoys the distinction of being one of the best known and highest respected citizens of St. Paul. Mr. Lyles and his wife reside at 678 St. Anthony' Ave., where they have one of the most beautiful residences in that locality. VAN LEAR WILL LECTURE. Mr. Thomas Van Lear will lecture to the Negroes on Socialism at Masonic Hall on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 P. M. Mr. Van Lear has often expressed a desire to speak to our people. He will not speak on his Candidacy for Mayor, but will deliver one of his Educational Lectures, such as Dr. W. E. B. Dubois has been giving during recent years. If there is something worth knowing we should be eager to be informed. Admission Free.

VON LUSCHAN Migration and Colonization Chief Among Many Causes Given For Amalgamation of Primitive Races. Anthropology of African and Pacific Islanders Pointed Out. By JOHN E. BRUCE (GRIT). A great many modern writers and not a few who wrote in an earlier period are disposed to discredit the African origin of the Egyptians, although their color, customs and other physical characteristics clearly indicate that if any race of people on earth came out of the lolns of Ham these did. Nothing seems to be more certain to those who have studied the question closely. Dr. Felix von Luschan, professor of anthropology in the University of Berlin, in an admirable paper before the first universal races congress, which met in London in 1911, approaches the subject with more cander and honesty than usually characterize the writings or the utterances of white men who have investigated this subject. While we know or have been told that all the Egyptians are not white or brown or of any of the intermediate colors between white and black, we also know from those who have traveled in that country that the majority of its inhabitants are black and possess all the physical characteristics of the African. Cause of Distinct Color Varieties. The color of the Egyptian results, therefore, from the admixture of the blood of neighboring races with the African blood of these indigenous blacks. Professor von Luschan says: "While the first varieties of primitive man were certainly formed and fixed by long isolation, later variations and races were caused by migration and colonization, as might perhaps best be shown by sketching the anthropology of Africa and the Pacific islands. Just as Madagascar was peopled about 900 or 1000 A. D. by Indonesian colonists coming from Sumatra, so untold ages ago the first inhabitants of Africa came from a place somewhere in southern Asia on the great line from Gibraltar to Australia. No skulls or skeletons of these earliest Africans are as yet known, but we may hope to find them sooner or later, as we already now know a good many sites of paleolithic implements in various parts of tropical and southern Africa. The anatomical qualities of these first Africans will certainly be found to differ from those of aboriginal Australians, but in tens of hundreds of thousands of years the paleolithic African evolved into a real Negro. He exists in two varieties—a tall variety like the modern Nigritian from the coast of upper Guinea and a small one like the bushmen and the pygmies, now known in so many places in central Africa. Third Race Makes Its Appearance. But I have already stated that we are as yet quite ignorant of the real home of these small races. To these two oldest elements in Africa was added ages afterward, but still in prehistoric times, a third one, the Hamitic. It is descended from the same ancient Gibraltar-Australia line, but was in a higher stage of civilization. These Hamites had already a greatly refined language, with an admirable grammar closely related to that of the Semitic and Indo-Germanic languages. In Egypt they created more than 6,000 years ago the marvelous civilization we now admire as the mother of our own. Ancient Hamitic influences can be traced all through Africa. In Abyssinia, in Galia, Somali, and in Masailland we find even now Hamitic languages or at least Hamitic grammar and Hamitic types. In central Africa, in the region of the great lakes, we have the Hima and Tusi, generally as chiefs reigning over Bantu tribes, often with face and figure like those of the old pharaohs of Egypt. Physical Features of Hamitic Type. Even in South Africa nearly 1 percent of the actual Bantu population have high and narrow noses, thin lips and fine large orthognathic skulls of the Hamitic type, and all the Hottentot languages and dialects have a pure Hamitic grammar. Also the pastoral habits of many Africa tribes, their long horned cattle, spiral basket work, etc., are Hamitic, and all can thus trace Hamitic influence from the Nile to the Cape of Good Hope. Still, there are some Negroes and Still there are some Negroes and many, many white people in this country who profess to believe with a sort of pitying contempt that the African is an unredeemable barbarian. Rev. E. D. L. Thompson of Sierra Leone, West Africa, in his address before the Negro Society For Historical Research of Yonkers, N. Y., on the subject "Race Consciousness Race Ideal," said, among other things: "As the preponderance of the inhabitants of Egypt today are of unmixed African blood, we may I think reasonably conclude that these people are of African origin. Otherwise how are we to account for their black faces, crisp hair and other typical Negro physical characteristics?" Success of Professor G. H. Boyer as an Educator. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES. Career of Former Maryland Boy Who Has Won Prominence In Religious and Educational Circles in North Carolina — Latin Salutatorian and Member of Yale Divinity Quartet. By GEORGE F. KING. Raleigh, N. C.-One of the leading educators among the Afro-American people in this section of the state is Professor C. H. Boyer. He is a Yale university graduate, a successful teacher, modest, unassuming and loyal to the best interests of the race. Professor Boyer is also a well known and popular layman of the Protestant Episcopal church and is thoroughly alive to the educational activities of this great denomination. He has done much to encourage the young men and women to go forward with their studies in order to be amply prepared to take their places as leaders among the masses of our people. He is a native of Elkton, Md., and after graduating from the public school of his home town he entered the Institute For Colored Youths in Philadelphia, from which he graduated as Latin saturatorian of his class and also winner of the prize in English. He was greatly assisted and encouraged while a student at this school by Mra. Fannie Jackson Coppin. After teaching several years in Maryland he entered Hopkins Grammar school, New Haven, Conn., to prepare himself for Yale university. He graduated from this institution with high honors, winning the prize in oratory. As an athlete he became quite prominent at this period of his career. While in college he worked hard and was a member of the famous Yale divinity quartet, composed of such prominent men as the Rev. O. Faduna of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C.; Robert H. Bonner of Connecticut and Rev. Dr. H. H. Proctor of Atlanta, Ga. Professor Boyer is a well rounded character and a churchman full of zeal and inspiration. While attending school in New Haven he was lay reader of St. Luke's Episcopal church for three years and a half and as superintendent of the Sunday school for four years did effective work in reaching the unreached. He was so highly esteemed by the citizens of New Haven that upon his graduation from Yale he was given a farewell reception and a substantial purse. During the year 1806 Professor Boyer accepted an offer from St. Augustine school, this city, as the head of the collegiate department, and among the hundreds of young people that have received a large share of their training and inspiration from him are fifteen young men, now faithful priests in the Episcopal church. There is no man of Negro descent that is more highly respected in this community than Professor Boyer. He is full of civic, economic and racial pride and believes in the great possibilities of his people without compromising their manhood. In 1911 he rounded his fifteenth year as teacher at St. Augustine, and a merited appreciation of his worth and service to humanity was evidenced by the school and some friends, who gave him an extensive trip to Europe, where he again accepted the opportunity to show that the kind of education that he had received should be given all men regardless of their racial identity if nature had so endowed them for service that required a college training. Professor Boyer is secretary of the colored convocation of North Carolina and has helped to make the North Carolina Teachers' association a great educational factor in this section of the country. He is always for the material ascendance of his people and will not subscribe to anything that will prove detrimental to the welfare of the masses of the race.

We, the colored citizens of St. Paul, have met in many notable gatherings. Gatherings similar to this in point of interest. Gatherings having for their purport the uplift of the race; gatherings of welcome and memorials. All greatly similar to this but with one exception, a tall commanding figure—the central figure—will not rise here today. There is one face that will not shine with earnestness and zeal and one voice that will not be heard, for our friend has passed into the great beyond. Some months ago many of us gathered in a banquet hall to do honor to our departed friend while yet he lived. An occasion long to be remembered. Old friends were reunited, sincere words of praise and appreciation were spoken. Let us thank God for and continue to have such gatherings. Let us thank God for reconciliations and messengers of peace. Some one has said: "If you have flowers to bestow, give them to me while I live," and many of us can reflect with pardonable pride upon that and other occasions when we scattered the flowers of appreciation and encouragement upon the pathway of the busy life of our deceased friend Frederick L. McGhee. Among the beautiful floral tributes which were sent as tokens of respect and esteem upon the death of our friend was one whose import impressed me deeply. The beauty of its design—a broken column—was enhanced by this glowing tribute "He was like the rock of Gibraltar, So earnest and devout, And our pillar of gprogress seems broken When this dear life went out." Few men have passed away in recent years who will be more sincerely and deservedly regretted in this city than Frederick L. McGhee, and none will lament his death with deeper sorrow than his personal franks and the rank and file of his race to whom the greater portion of his life as a citizen was devoted. Truly can it be said of his, as a citizen, that he lived a life of service to his friends, service to his race and to the community in which he lived. He was one of the strongest and at the same time one of the most unique characters our race had produced. He had a host of friends and at times a few enemies, but no man through whose veins flows the red blood of hope, ambition and curage can pass through 51 years of struggling, hustling and successfully battling with the difficulties of a public life, and for the rights of his peopde without making a few enemies. Public-spirited in the highest degree, his whole soul wrapped up in the interests of this community and of the race at large, he was born to leadership, born to the purple, and it was as natural for him to lead as it was for most men to follow. The greatest fighter I have ever known; he grew to know greatness but never rest. Success was his, yes to a high degree, but never ease. Power he wielded, yet he was as gentle as a woman in the presence of trouble, in sorrow, in hardships or distress. Little children, all of whom he loved and fondled—and even the dumb animals—seemed to invite his caresses. His life was like that wonderful portrayal by Joaquin Miller of the sublime faith of Columbus who gave to us the lesson "Sail on." "Behind him lay the gray Azores, Behind the gates of Hercules; Before him not the ghost of shores— Before him only shoreless seas. The good mate said, "Now must we pray, For lo! the very stars are gone; Speak Admiral, what shall I say" Why say, "Sall on; Sail on; Sail McGhee aa a Churchman. Truly he has won for himself the title of greatness. And of all the greatness that he has achieved and won, the greatest is that attribute of being a Christian, and his Christian life began with the days of his childhood. Beside being acquainted with the teachings of the church which was the choice of his years in this city, Fred McGhee was a wonderful Biblical scholar, and he often used the holy scriptures in pleading his cases before the bar. He was a Roman Catholic, but he was also more than that. He was in every sense of the word a Christian. His Christianity went beyond the bonds of localism or Catholicism. Whatever he could do to lend aid to any Christian congregation in this city and in the city of Minneapolis, Fred McGhee was ready and willing to give his aid. Though we love him, we would not wish him to return. We shall say to him "On, and on. Enjoy thy triumphs which thou hast won. As we remember thee and see thee, and because thou art nearer to Him than we are, may thou also, with the Saints, remember and pray that we may so run our race that when we shall have reached the end of life that we shall win the prize and share with thee the joy and peace into which thou art now entering." If we love Fred. McGhee and honor him—and I believe we do—let us endeavor to draw something from this meeting in his memory to enable us to live the Christian life.—Rev. A. H. Lealtad. 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. Pension For Fireman W. H. Nicholson. Instances of loyal and efficient service performed by Afro-Americans in the federal, state and municipal government are constantly being brought to light. Much satisfaction is being expressed by the friends of William H Nicholson, who was retired from the fire department in Brooklyn on Dec. 8 on a pension of $700 per annum. 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. 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. By constant labor and strict economy Mr. Nelson has amassed a snug little fortune from the products raised on his farm. He is now rated at $50,000, has a fine home near Little Rock, Ark., and is as deeply concerned about his farm now as he was forty years ago. Business Concern Helps the Race. The National Benefit association, founded by Samuel W. Rutherford, with headquarters in Washington, is one of the best of its kind operated by Afro-Americans in the United States. It employs members of the race and pays in salaries and commissions large sums monthly. The Constitution and Citizenship. The next great war will be fought for the enfranchisement of the dis- franchised colored citizens of the south who are still denied the right of suf- frage, as guaranteed to all citizens of the United States by the national con- stitution. To lay claim to state rights in the matter of regulating the suf- frage is simply begging the question. The constitution does not disfranchise a single citizen, native born or natural- ized. 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. REAL WORTH. Charity and personal force are the only investments worth any- thing.—Walt Whitman. 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. Y., which is a feature of our publication, much appreciated by our readers. GUARD YOUR ENTHUSIASM. The Negro voters are interested in the coming election, and they belong to all parties. It is hoped that they will not be so deeply interested that they will make personal attacks against those of their race who may oppose them. Treat each other as you do the white man. Let us give every one credit for his political views, and when the campaign is over, may there be no strained social relations on account of political differences. We can accomplish nothing under these conditions. EDUCATE, AGITATE AND EMANCIPATE.

The national Progressive party, committed to the principle of government by a self-controlled democracy expressing its will through representatives of the people pledges itself to secure such alterations in the fundamental 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 nation-wide preferential primaries for candidates for the presidency, for the direct election of United States senators by the people; and we urge on the states the policy of the short ballot with responsibility to the people and recall. This is the plank in the platform secured by the initiative, referendum condemning States' Rights, and the revival 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 laws, but most of all can be done by frowning resolutely on the preachers of vague discontent. In our political and social life alike, in order permanently to succeed, we must base our conduct on the Decalogue and the Golden Rule Quack remedies of the universal cure-all type are generally as noxious to the body politic 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 righteousness. -Theodore Roosevelt. Unjust Laws Tend to Breed Strife The city council at Portsmouth, Va. is puzzling its brains in an attempt to form a segregation ordinance which will conform to the state law. The ordinance committee has finally referred the whole matter to Acting City Attorney R. Clifford Barclay and City Engineer Cassell. Such unjust laws only tend to breed strife between the white and colored people, which benef- its neither. PROGRESSIVE FIGHT BEGINS IN EARNEST Collins Outlines State Issues in Speech at Madison. St. Paul, Sept. 30.—The Progressive campaign in Minnesota has started if earnest along definite lines, and from now on the state committee proposes a vigorous fight. P. V. Collins, candidate for governor, opened his speaking campaign at Madison last Thursday Gifford Pinchot and Nosh Allen of Texas will come to the state this week and the committee is attempting to arrange for the coming of Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, and Thomas A. Edison, who announces "Of course I'm a Progressive, because I'm young at sixty-five, and this is a young man's movement." It is practically certain that Governor Hiram Johnson, who made such a favorable impression in the southern part of the state, will return to Minnesota and spend some time in the state. "Reports from all sections of the state are not only encouraging—they point to an overwhelming vote for Roosevelt and Johnson," says Chair man Halbert of the Progressive committee. "Minnesota, placed in the doubtful column by Republican and Democratic leaders, will give the Progressive ticket a big plurality." ***** Mr. Collins, speaking at the Law qui Parle county fair, placed himself squarely on the Progressive state plat- form, which pledges, "Absolute elimi- nation from politics in the state of the present alliance of brewery, cor- poration and railroad interests." Pro- gressives agree that this issue must be determined and criticism of a Pro- gressive state ticket has subsided. They say the fight in Minnesota is identical with the fight in the nation. The national Progressive party is fighting "invisible government" in national affairs; the Progressives of Minnesota are fighting the same thing nearer home. Roosevelt advises a square-toe fight in state and nation. The national Progressive party or organized after the Republican party had repudiated progressive principles and stolen a presidential nomination. The Progressives of Minnesota named a state ticket after the Repu- lican party, with the aid of "in- visible government," had repudiated progressive principles by nominating an avowedly Taft candidate for gov- ernor. Roosevelt and Johnson were nomi- nated by men who refused to partici- pate in the nomination of a rea- tionary for president. Minnesota Progressives who refused to participate in the nomination of and other reactionary named P. V. Collins for governor. The law prevented placing a Pro- gressive party candidate on the pri- mary ballot. Hence, the primary result was not blinding on the Progressive party, because no man or body of men can be bound, legally or morally, by the acts of other men. Criticism of a Progressive state ticket smacks of Candidate Wilson's criticism of a national Progressive ticket. Wilson says: "Vote for me if you want to be a progressive." Candidate Eberhart says: "Vote for me if you are a progressive." Opposition to the Progressive party appears to be bi-partisan. That's the big reason for the Progressive party's existence in state and nation. Roosevelt has declared himself against bi-partisan "invisible government" in national affairs. Collins says: "It is the purpose o the candidates of the Progressive party to stand squarely upon the national and state Progressive platforms and to make an aggressive fight to rid Minnesota of political bossism, brewery and railroad control." That's why the Progressives of Minnesota decided to make the state fight, and the only reason. ***** John H. Grass of Fergus Falls is the Progressive candidate for the four-year term on the railroad and warehouse commission. The selection of Mr. Grass was made after the withdrawal of George S. Loftus, named by the Progressives for the six-year term, and the naming of T. J. Sharkey of Staples, originally selected for the four-year term, to take Mr. Loftus' place on the ticket. Mr. Grass was named at the suggestion of many Progressives because of his intimate knowledge of the commission's duties, and the selection has since been approved by Progressives throughout the state. ***** Chief Justice Charles M. Start, after securing nomination at the primaries to succeed himself as a member of the supreme court, has withdrawn from the contest. Unwillingness to make a campaign for re-election is given as the reason for Justice Start's withdrawal. Judge C. M. Stanton of Bemldjj and F. Alexander Stewart of Minneapolis, who ran second and third at the primaries, will go on the election ballot. Petitions have been put in circulation in behalf of Associate Justice C. L. Brown as a candidate for chief justice. TWIN CITY STAR A REAL NEWSPAPER. A newspaper isn't simply a bare chronicler of events. It is a personality. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person do you like to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous, no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with a real interest in you, ready to lend a hand if you need help. Cheerfulness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide range of interests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and it speaks them out freely. They are its own and they are not influenced by outside interests. The square deal is its platform. In handling news it observes the decencies and amenities of life. It never wantonly brings shame or sorrow to any home. Its advertisements are clean. If the Twina City Star does not bring you something of interest in any particular issue, it has failed by so much that week. It takes of its hat and apologizes for having bored you as a visitor. But it trusts this doesn't often happen. 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 Roosevelt in whom they realize a champion of right, not an apologist like Pres. Taft, who has sustained the Dred Scott decision by refusing to appoint Negroes to offices wherever it was objectionable to white men, and who by the appointment of Southern Confederates to the Supreme Bench has denied the Negroes their Constitutional Rights. Roosevelt never closed the door of hope in the face of the Negro. RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Colored Americans having been permitted to be disfranchised in the Southern States under Republican rule. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats upon the Supreme Court of the United States. The appointment of ex-Confederates and Southern Democrats in the Cabinet by President Taft. The declaration of President Taft that he would appoint no colored man to office who may be objectionable to the white people. Race discrimination permitted upon the railroads South, and the enactment of "Jim Crow" car laws. The removal of Southern colored office holders in the South from office and the appointment of Democrats and ex-Confederates in their stead. With such a record for the Republican party to go to the country on in 1912 to capture the colored vote will be bound to be effective. The colored voters throughout the country have opened their eyes, and between now and 1912 they will keep them open.-The Bee, Wash. D. C. DOING REAL HARM. People who do us harm in the end are not the wrongdoers whom all execute. They are the men who do not do quite as much wrong, but who are applauded instead of being excrated. The career of Benedict Arnold has done us no harm as a nation because of the universal horror it inspired. The men who have done us harm are those who have advocated disunion, but have done it so that they have been enabled to keep their political position; who have advocated repudiation of debts or other financial dishonesty, but have kept their 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 unpunished or even are rewarded for their misdeeds.—Theodore Roosevelt. THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN SCANDAL. The president is like the high-minded president of a public service corporation who wants his general manager or counsel to get results in council and legislature, but is unwilling 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 a permanent scandal. $ ^{1} $ It has no following, since its Negroes have been disfranchised and its whites ostracised, and only leaders enough to fill the federal and organization offices.
