MINNEAPOLIS Minn. Historical Society DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL Defective Page VOL. 3 Single Copies 5 Cents EXHIBITS COVER MANY SUBJECTS Historical Significance of Tentative Program Offered by the Commission For Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration of Proclamation Freeing Colored Race In America. New York.—As New York city is the most cosmopolitan center in the world, it is particularly valuable for the future of the Negro race that this city should be chosen as the place of the emancipation exposition, made possible by the legislature of the state of New York. The influence for good which this exposition will have upon the people of New York cannot fall to be of farreaching consequences. To any one who has observed closely the salient features of the race problem it must have become apparent that the paramount need of all concerned is to have a better, fuller knowledge of the past of the Negro race and, possessing this, to accord it its due privileges and opportunities for the present and thus to render possible its attainment of a future still more worthy of recognition and consideration than anything it has yet achieved. The tentative program of the commission covers an exhibit in thirteen divisions, comprising (1) Africa, showing a historical map of the continent, with particular reference to the parts occupied by Negroes and the arts and crafts of the race at home; (2) charts and diagrams indicating distribution of Negro blood throughout the world and the growth of the race in America; (3) health and physique; (4) occupations, including moving picture demonstrations; (5) science and inventions; (6) education; (7) religion; (8) civics; (9) the work of women; (10) painting and sculpture, (11) literature, (12) architecture (this exhibit will be placed in a small central temple designed by a colored architect and will include pieces of sculpture by Negroes, a library of Negro newspapers and books by Negro authors or relating to the Negro, paintings and decorations by the Negro, etc.); (13) music. Part of the exposition will be devoted to a pageant of Negro history illustrating (1) the discovery of the use of iron, the Negro's method of smelting the metal and of manufacturing implements therefrom; (2) the origin of Egyptian culture, (3) Negro Mohammedm civilization, (4) the Bantu migration, (5) the fall of the empire of Soughay and the rise of the slave trade, (6) the landing of the Negro in America, (7) the first attempts at freedom, (8) Haiti, (9) the cotton kingdom and underground railroad, (10) the abolitionists, (11) emancipation, (12) the struggle and vision of the future. With such a program as this of an exposition of Negro advancement to be held in New York city fifty years after the disgraceful draft riots of which the American metropolis was the scene, the state of New York may congratulate itself for having once more endeavored to retrieve its honor by giving an opportunity to its colored citizens to show why the effort to enlist volunteers to fight for the liberation of the black man was justified. Every member of the commission which made this plan of the exposition is colored. The commission deserves the moral and material support of all colored people, for the success of its program is bound to result in greater consideration and respect for the race.

SMOKE THE RELIABLE 50 SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 50 MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., JULY 25, 1913. GREAT LEADER AND ORGANIZER BELIEVES IN CO-OPERATION Brief Account of How the Cause of African Methodism Has Been Advanced Through the Untiring Labors of a Minister Who Is Worthy of Promotion. St. Louis.—The Rev. William Sampson Brooks, D. D., pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church in this city, has broken the record for money raising for religious work. He has made for himself a place in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal church that will ever remain as a monument to his energy and which will mean his promotion to higher official life. Dr. Brooks was born in Calvert county, Md., in May, 1865. He has achieved success by hard and persistent labors, and his home state is proud of his admirable record. Schools for the education of colored people were few and far apart when young Brooks arrived at school age. It was after he had reached his majority that W. Sampson Brooks decided to take on more education, hence went to Baltimore and entered Morgan college, remaining there just seven years, during which time he completed the academic course and spent some time in the college department. This was the beginning of his active work in the church and for his people. He felt that the Lord desired to use him, and he put himself where he could be used. He started in the work of the gospel ministry, joining the Iowa annual conference at Des Moines in 1893 DB. W. SAMPSON BROOKS. and was assigned to Minneapolis, Minn., where he was given an opportunity to show his ability. During his stay in Minneapolis he erected a fine church. It was while in Minneapolis that Dr. Brooks decided to broaden his sphere of usefulness, hence arranged for an extensive tour through the old world. He sailed from New York on Feb. 27, 1895. He first visited London, and while there took a special course in the Art museum. He then visited Liverpool, Rome, going through Italy, France and along the course of the Mediterranean sea, through Spain and Portugal, spending some time in the holy land and then into Africa. He speaks the Swedish and Norwegian languages as fluently as he does his mother tongue. He has pastored churches in Des Motnes, Chicago and Nashville. In Nashville his real worth as a pastor was recognized by the people during his short stay there, where he accomplished a great work, adding many to the church and raising large amounts of money for the church. When the congregation of the St. Paul A. M. E. church here was struggling under a heavy debt, Bishop Parks was petitioned to send to the church a man of experience in church finance, an organizer and leader. Dr. Brooks was then pastoring in Nashville, but the bishop heeding the call of the St. Paul church assigned Dr. Brooks as its pastor. On taking charge he met the officers of the church, talked over conditions, then met the people, outlined the work and put every member in the church to work, and each new member was informed that he would have to work, for drones were not wanted. The indebtedness amounted to $14,300 and he declared that it should be wiped out. May 19, $7,541.85 was the amount put on the table, and it is de- shared that within a few weeks $2,000 will be placed on the table and there will be a shouting, in St. Paul A. M. E. church, St. Louis, for it will be out of debt. In 1916 will be held the centennial general conference, and many of the ministers have already declared that it will be then that Dr. Brooks will be elevated. The man who can bring joins into the church, raise $5,000 one Sunday, and then on another Sunday put down over $7,000 is a born leader and is the man who should be put where he can lead more largely, and the A. M. E. church is going to put Dr Brooks in such a position. VACATION TIME AT SHAW. How Professor Edwards' Energy Enlivenes Things at Noted School. Raleigh, N. C.—The vacation of the students of Shaw university has not completely made the campus of the institution lonely. The man who is constantly at his desk creating new life in various departments of industries is Professor G. A. Edwards, who can be found in his office any month in the year. As far south as Mississippi this energetic head of the industrial departments of Shaw and one of the leading Afro-American architects in the country has buildings, the product of his brain, in course of construction for people of both races. Standing out pre-eminently as the result of his ability is the new hospital at Shaw, with which will soon be associated another beautiful brick structure, known as Theological hall. It will have three stories and a basement and will have all modern improvements and will accommodate fifty-two students. The theologs will have all of their recitation rooms in this building, and the Young Men's Christian association will have well appointed quarters in the basement. Professor Edwards will superintend the construction of this building, and if the same was given to a contractor it would not cost less than $18,000. This will be one of the most attractive buildings on the campus and will reflect much credit upon Professor Edwards' skill. He has recently completed plans, which were accepted, for a brick building for the local Odd Fellows to cost $22,000, and the Christian church, now in the course of erection, at a cost of $27,000. Professor Edwards is the head industrial worker of Shaw. He is certainly helping our people in this section to procure comfortable homes, which means so much to the community life of the race. MOVING PICTURE STORY Achievements of a Hampton Student Portrayed in Didoicot Manner. Hampton, Va.—"John Henry's Four Years at Hampton" is the title of a most interesting moving picture story of Hampton institute which has been prepared by Leigh Richmond Minor of the Hampton staff. The first exhibition of the vivid moving pictures was given recently at Hampton institute. John Henry, who lives out in the country, is influenced by a Hampton graduate to come to the well known agricultural and industrial school for Negroes. On reaching Hampton he is shown the modern buildings and is then taken to his dormitory room. There he is given a lesson in bedmaking by his room mate. John Henry, after his work in doing various chores which tasked his stick-to-lt-tiveness, enters the cabinetmaking department and in three years becomes a proficient tradesman. John Henry also learns enough of several other trades so as to be truly useful to his people back in the country districts. He is put through a short course in manual training, shoe-making, harness repairing, bricklaying and upholstery. He is also taught how to plow and care for the common farm animals—pigs, chickens, horses and cows. The Hampton institute moving pictures give an excellent presentation of the Sunday morning room inspection, battalion drill, anniversary procession, life in the student dining room and every day life at Hampton. John Henry is shown as a pupil teacher at the Whittier school leading the procession of youngsters as they assemble to salute the flag. In the final scene, dealing with commencement day, Dr. Frissell presents the transformed and useful youth with a Hampton diploma. John Henry greets his parents, who have made a sacrifice so that he could get an education. The country teacher, one of Hampton's graduates, who influenced John Henry to break his home ties and go to Hampton, witnesses the happy scene. Louisiana Baptist State Convention. The annual meeting of the Louisiana Baptist state convention will be held in Monroe, La., beginning July 30, closing on Friday, Aug. 1. The Sunday school department will begin its session on Monday, July 28. NORTH CAROLINA ODD FELLOWS WHO WILL BE GRAND MASTER Choice For Chief Office Indicated by the Executive Committee at Its Recent Meeting—Qualifications of Colonel James H. Young For Leadership In Great Fraternity Not Doubled. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Greensboro, N. C.-This city is preparing for the forthcoming annual meeting of the North Carolina Odd Fellows, which will bring here some of the leading men of the race in the state. This fraternity has been making very progressive strides in this state, and from present indications at the forthcoming annual meeting it will keep up its record of sane legislation to meet the peculiar needs of the Afro-American people in this state. The late J. B. Catus, grand master for North Carolina, has been succeeded by a character that is eminently fitted for the head of the organization. Mr. Catus was one of the leading factors of the race in North Carolina and was highly esteemed by both races. Until his death he was postmaster of Winton, N. C., and as a public officer he had inade an enviable reputation and reflected credit upon the Negro's ability to hold such important positions. His recent death is lamented by citizens in every section of the state. Mr. Catus was an ardent advocate of equal opportunities for the race, and especially was he active in giving the people of his state the best opportunities that they could command for their educational development. He was a trustee of Winton Normal institute and made many sacrifices in order that this institution could survive the strenuous times peculiar to all such movements during their incipient periods. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Odd Fellows of North Carolina a selection for the head of the fraternity was made which met the approbation of the subordinate lodges throughout the state, and this board is being commended by leading Odd Fellows in many sections of the country for its election of Colonel James H. Young of Raleigh to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Catus. A man more competent to fill this office cannot be found in this state. "The colonel," says a man of large affairs, "is considered by those in high authority as the best and most thoroughly equipped financier, bookkeeper and up to date manager of all our public officers." For the past twenty-five years he has admirably held an important position in the internal revenue department at Raleigh, and if political events should bring about a change affecting the colonel it will not be an easy task to readily find a man to "hold down" the job like the present incumbent. In every movement for the uplift of the race in North Carolina for a number of years the colonel has been a guiding spirit. He possesses a kind of intellectualism and penetration of affairs which give him the power to control such forces that will work for the ultimate ascendancy of his people, plebeians and patricians alike. Undoubtedly there will be a birth of new things for this fraternity under the guidance of the colonel. He is extricably bound up with the kind of requisites and limited enthusiasm that will stimulate the thousands of Odd Fellows in North Carolina. The element of decay is not present in this especial organization, and from every indication the colonel will unanimously be elected the district grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of North Carolina at the annual meeting, which begins here on Tuesday, Aug. 12. Women's Clubs Doing Great Work. At the annual meeting of the Texas State Federation of Women's Clubs, recently held in San Antonio, representatives from forty-five clubs made encouraging reports on work among girls, emergency homes, rescue houses and general uplift work in the rural districts.

The seventh annual meeting of the California State Federation of Women's Clubs will be held in the Fifteenth Street Methodist church in Oakland for three days, beginning Tuesday morning. July 29, at 10 o'clock. Mrs. E. V. Morley, president of the federation, says that the annual conventions of the organization are great sentiment molders. They teach our people to be judicious, cautious, wise and persistent in all things which make for mutual benefit. Such gatherings also encourage the women of the race to acquire knowledge in literature, art, science, business and 1 the art of home building. M. B. Served Government at Monrovia Twe Terms—May Run For Congress. Baltimore—Dr. Ernest Lyon, former United States minister to Liberia, may enter the fight for the Republican nomination for congress in the Third Maryland district. He has been asked by friends all over the district, which lies wholly within Baltimore, to contest for the nomination. The district contains over 4,000 colred, voters and the bulk of the foreign vote. As Dr. Lyon is well and favorably known, his nomination, if he enters the fight, could be secured in a hard campaign. The district has no representative in congress at present, Congressman George Konig having died not long ago. Dr. Lyon is no novice in the field of politics. He has been in touch with some of the most influential Republicans in the country, and his counsel has been sought in a number of campaigns. His activities have brought him in contact with such men as the late Mark Hanna, the late Speaker Reed, Colonel Roosevelt and others. During the presidential campaign of 1000 he was one of three members of the advisory committee and as such worked indefatigably for the success of McKinley and Roosevelt. In 1908 President Roosevelt appointed him American minister to Liberia, where he remained for eight years. Besides having in preparation a volume on Liberia, he is now pastoring the John Wesley M E. church in this city. He resides at 141 West Hill street. Elks to Felicite at Atlantic City. Active preparations are being made by the committee of arrangements for entertaining the Elks' fraternity, which holds its fourteenth annual convention in Atlantic City. N.

How Colored Soldiers Endure Hard How Colored Soldiers Endure Hardships Compared With White Men. The colored soldier endures the hardships of army life with less loss of time from active duty than the white enlisted man, according to the annual report of Surgeon General George Hortney. The noneffective rate of the colored soldier was 25.88, while that of the white soldier was 33.60, the Porto Rican 29.78 and the Filipino 19.86. The report likewise shows that the white troops required the highest average number of days' treatment for each case of disability. The Porto Rican had the highest rate for admission to hospitals and for deaths. However, the constantly noneffective rate, which the surgeon general says is the true measure of the loss in efficiency of the army from sickness and injury, was 33.28 per 1.000, the lowest noneffective rate in the history of the army. The deaths from all causes were 348, of which 194 were from dis ease. The total death rate and that from disease are both the lowest or record except for 1910. The admission rate for alcoholism in the United States for the year 1911 was 20.31, a material improvement over the preceding year, when it was 23.51. It is stated that this rate has shown a steady diminution since 1907 following an equally steady rise for eight years before 1907. The rate for 1911 is the lowest for any year since 1870, except for the years 1898 and 1899, when the rates were approximately 16 and 18 per 1,000. As those were years of war, when such rates are usually lower, they can hardly be taken as a basis of comparison. There were 50,534 recruits examined as compared with 25,138 for the preceding year. Of each 1,000 examined 90.55 were rejected, as compared with 94.62 for 1910. The number of foreign born recruits is less than last year, being 138.04 per 1,000 for 1911, as compared with 145.56 for 1910 and 140.46 for 1909. The most marked decrease in the proportion of recruits was from Germany, Ireland and Canada. The death rate in the United States army was 4.72, as compared with the Russian 4.07, French 3.75, Spanish 3.71, Japanese 3.67, Austro-Hungarian 2.84, British 2.42, Bavarian 2.26 and Prussian 1.78. The rate for total loss es was 19.72 per 1,000, as compared with the Bavarian 51.56, Spanish 47.9, Russian 45.8, Prussian 42.88, French 89.09, Japanese 30.51 and English 13.49 The death rate for typhoid was 0.11 per 1,000, as compared with the Spanish 0.82, Russian 0.78, Japanese 0.55 French 0.47, British 0.28, Austro-Hungarian 0.20, Bavarian 0.06 and Prussian 0.08. For malarial fevers the rates for the United States were lower than for the British, Russian and Japanese, but higher than for other countries. The rate for dysentery for our army was higher than that for any other army, except the British. For tuberculosis our rate was lower than that for the Spanish, French and Japanese, but higher than that for the other countries mentioned. National Organization Now Engaged in Work For Jubilee Meeting. Nashville, Tenn.—Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, which dates are Sept. 18, 19, 20 and 21. are set apart as special days at Greenwood park, this city, in which special attention will be given to the throng of visitors who will be here attending the celebration of fifty years of freedom to be held in connection with the national Baptist convention. Confirmation of these days has already been made, and the arrangements for the installation of the exhibits, as well as for handling the crowds to and from Greenwood park, are going on a pace. It is understood at the headquarters that it will facilitate the handling of the exhibits if the commissioners from the various state conventions will instruct every one to send their exhibits plainly and legibly marked. While Mr. Henry Allen Boyd and his force of workers will be ever on the alert to see that the displays are properly arranged, the director can be materially helped by the marking of these exhibits before they are shipped, as the plan is to return them to their owners immediately. There will be much appreciation by the promoters of the exposition if the general public will take an interest in the scope of knowledge that these fifty years of jubilee will give the public, declares Mr. Boyd, who said he was confident that Dr. E. C. Morris, the president, would soon come to Nashville to further consummate the plans for the coming celebration. JEWS IN RUSSIA. As Christianity, not Judaism, is on trial in Russia's treatment of her Jewish residents, so the United States and not the Jewish citizens of the United States is insulted in the refusal of the Russian government to honor the United States passports. Whether I am ever to see Russia is of no consequence. But whether the United States government shall submit to further slight is the point in issue. If a former member of the president's cabinet and later American ambassador at Constantinople cannot travel in Russia on the strength of his American passport it is plain that the self respect and the dignity of our nation have been made light of.—Rabbi E. G. Hirsch. TWIN CITY STAR FOR THE CHILDREN The Brownies Move. Billie the Brownie, who lived in a tree, Was troubled one morning a woodman to The king walked beside him and presently gried. "Just chop down that tree with the Brownies inside!" Away galloped Billie to tell the sad news And panted. "We have not a moment to lose!" Then back came his friends to the tree in the wood. And all started packing as fast as they could. Tables and pillows and bedding and chairs. Nothing is heavy if every one shares, And, all being willing, 'tis easy to see They very soon emptied their house in a tree. Then Billie set out with his wife, and they found A pretty new house in a mushroom, all round. They moved in at once, and that night you should see. they sat down to supper as gay as could be. Two Little Caretakers "Now, Dot," said mother, "I want you to stand here and take care of Carlo till I come back." Dot was a very small girl, and Carlo was a very large dog, but they had been friends for so long that both felt quite safe with the other, though Dot did hope that mother would not go far away. She was, however, too brave to say so and, putting one arm round Carlo's neck, promised that she would not move a step. Mother was back in a very few minutes. "I took care of Carlo, didn't I?" said the little girl. "Yes, dear," said mother as she took her up in her arms. But if Carlo had been able to speak we think he would have said as he leaped and barked at his mistress' side, "I never moved after you left us, and I hope you see that I took good care of Dot." Quater Ways of Eating. Spiders chew their food with hard, horny jaws. The jellyfish absorbs its food by wrapping itself around the object which it seeks to eat. The butterfly pumps nectar through a tube into its body, and bees and flies suck their food with their long tongues. The woodpecker has a three barbed tongue, like a Fijian's spear, with which it draws out the worm or insect. The cuttlefish does not chew its food with its mouth, but with its gizzard. The horseshoe crab chews its food with its legs. The little fellow grinds its food morsels between its thighs before passing them to the mouth. Sturgeon draw in their food by suction and are toothless. The dog and the horse often become great friends and are very fond of each other. A gentleman had a Newfoundland dog that always went to the stable to get his horse. While the groom saddled the horse the dog lay with his nose between his paws. When the horse was ready the dog took the reins in his mouth and led the horse to his master. He then followed him in his ride. On returning the rein was given to the dog, and he led his friend back to the stable. If the groom happened to be out of the stable the dog barked loudly till he came. A scientific experiment which will interest young and old is to hang from the ceiling a thread which has been soaked in very salty water and then dried. To this fasten a very light ring and announce that you are about to burn the thread without making the ring fall. The thread will burn, it is true, but the ashes it leaves are made up of crystals of salt, and they are strong enough to bear the light weight of the ring tied to the thread. Fox In the Ring. All the players form in a ring except the "fox." He sneaks around outside and taps one of the players on the shoulder. The one tapped starts to run around the outside of the ring in one direction, while the "fox" runs around the ring in the other direction, both making for the place vacated by the tapped child. If the "fox" gets there first the other is "it." If not the "fox" is "it" until he succeeds in getting into a "den." A Floral Turncoat. A novel flower has been found at the fathmus of Tehunatepec. This flower changes its colors during the day. In the morning it is white; while the sun is at its zenith it is red, and at night it is blue. The red, white and blue flower grows on a tree about the size of a guna tree, and only at noon does it give out any perfume. Little five-year old Lloyd when coming through the yard one evening at dusk bumped into a tree. On his arriving home he explained to his mother his trouble. She asked him if he cried. "No." replied Lloyd, "cause there wasn't anybody there to hear me." A Resemblance. One day last summer little four-year-old Dottie came into the house looking much frightened and exclaiming, "Oh, please hurry and come out to my playhouse to see the Teddy bear bug." There was a big brown furry caterpillar on the porch of her playhouse. A Dog Groom A Ring Triok A Good Reason. A. Resemblance. NOVELTY IN BELTS. A Military Suggestion Has This Nifty Frock.

The hostess who has a clover dotted lawn should not let the opportunity slip by to entertain with a "clover party." The invitation should be done in water color, or real pressed leaves may be pasted on. The hostess may receive her guests on the veranda, which has been prettily decorated with large wicker jardinieres filled with quantities of the long stemmed clover blossoms. Over the main porch entrance suspend a large horseshoe made of the pink and white clovers. Partners for the clover hunt may be found by matching numbers on little brown twig baskets. On the lawn or in the adjoining orchard, wherever the clover patch happens to be, swing seats and cushions should be in evidence. At a given signal from an old time dinner horn the hunt for four leaf clovers should start. Naturally the little baskets are for holding the finds. During the counting of the good luck emblems lemonade may be served. At 6 o'clock a supper served at small tables on the veranda or under the trees could carry out the clover idea. On each table have quantity shaped white wicker or pink baskets filled with the long stemmed clovers and plenty of the foliage around them. The supper might consist of cold meats prettily garnished with the clovers, and the salad could be molded to represent a large four leaf clover. The sandwiches could be cut clover shape, and also the little cakes, while the ice cream might be the individual pink blossoms or the green leaves. The prizes given for the lucky clover hunter might be a silver picture frame, with the clover design engraving. The couples with the empty baskets might be rewarded with a corsage bouquet and boutonniere of clovers. Activities of Women New York now has a women's walking club. France has over 4,150,000 women workers. Baltimore is the latest city to provide for women police. New York actresses are going to have a club with a billiard room and a bar. Despite the vote of the women, Phoenix, Ariz., will continue to be "wet." Schoolteachers in Cincinnati will soon receive an increase of 10 per cent in their salaries. Miss Hazel Schmoll has been appointed assistant instructor of biology at Vassar college. It is estimated that over 200,000 women voted at the recent election for mayor in Los Angeles. A $100,000 contract has been let for the first buildings of the new Allenown (Pa.) College For Women. Woman Champions Man. Miss Beulah Kennard, a member of the board of education of Pittsburgh, proved that women will not always vote for one another when suffrage is granted them by her speech for the superintendent of schools. Women teachers had borne testimony before the board against the superintendent, implying that he had flirted with them. Miss Kennard bravely faced the accusers and declared the whole thing a political plot. One of the big characters of our civil war times was U. S. Senator Charles Sumner, called the successor of the great Daniel Webster. In the heat of the discussion of slavery questions, Sumner was one of the giant abolitionists and he was finally beaten unconscious with a cane at his seat in the senate, by a rebel member of the congress. In one of his greatest speeches, Sumner said: "I hold judges, and especially the supreme court of the country in much respect, but I am too familiar with the history of judicial proceedings to regard them with any superstitious reverence. Judges are but men, and in all ages have shown a full share of human frailty. Alas! alas! the worst crimes of history have been perpetrated under their sanction. The blood of martyr's and of patriots, crying from the ground, summons them to judgment." Recall of the judiciary was not urged, in Sunner's time, but had it been, it would have been supported by the truly great believers in freedom and substantial justice.—Minn. Dally News. OUR MULATTO PROBLEM. "The United States has, in addition to its negro problem, a mulatto problem." Such is the suggestive statement of Prof. H. E. Jordan of the University of Virginia, in an article in the Popular Science Monthly. The presence of the mixed bloods in our population is a source of perplexity to many sociologists. It is estimated that of our ten million colored population, somewhat less than eight million are pure negroes. Is the fact of good or bad omen? Professor Jordan, after a careful discussion of the subject, both from a biological and political standpoint, reaches the conclusion that the mulatto is on the whole superior to the nego, and that in the presence of some two millions of them among us we have the key to the solution of our race problem. In the island of Jamaica there are only about 15,000 whites to 700,000 colored, 50,000 of the latter being mulattoes. Governor Oliver does not draw any discouraging omens from this, but, on the contrary, declares the presence of the mixed bloods "a present advantage and a future promise of great good." The scientist Le Bon has said that the effect of the interbreeding between different races is to destroy the soul of both; but Professor Jordan discredits this conclusion by asserting that the mulattoes of our country, as well as of Jamaica, form the most intelligent and potentially the most useful element of our colored population. They are certain to increase in number, both by cross-breeding and because of the fact that the fertility of the mixed bloods in intermarriage is quite as great as that of the pure strain, if not greater. Such being the case, it is a fact to be recognized, whether it is repugnant to our social ideas or otherwise. The views of Professor Jordan are interesting as coming from a man of the South, the section where the race prejudice is strongest; and there is cause for hope in the belief expressed by him that "the mulatto is the leaven with which to lift the negro race, the best lever for negro elevation."—Minneapolis Tribune. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB- SCRIBER? A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.—X.

THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE. 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 secured by the initiative, referendum and recall. FEZZAN'S OPPORTUNITY. If the representatives of Minnesota, who will attend the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine at Indianapolis wish to have the highest honor brought to Fezzan Temple of St. Paul, they will get together and work for "Fezzan" and Minnesota, then they will elect Jose H. Sherwood of St. Paul as Imperial Potentate. LIQUOR SELLING BY "FRATERN- ITIES" MUST BE STOPPED. Those fraternal organizations that sell liquor at public entertainments cannot hope to draw respectable crowds and have quiet gatherings, because they are violators of the laws of the state and are responsible for many altercations, which may result in murder. People who care for intoxicants may carry them or buy them from taverns, but should not be sold such refreshments by members of these organizations. There are few places where Negroes are allowed to go. We know that there are good men in these organizations and they will draw better crowds, when they advertise "No liquors sold on the grounds." We also know that Hon. W. R. Morris is the recognized head of two organizations—The Elks and Knights of Pythias, and he would fill his position better of he would bring this matter before the members of these fraternities. There is no reasons why the public entertainments of this city should not be in every way commendable. We are not attempting to depreciate the standing of our fraternities, or making any apologies. This is but the plain truth. Let Mr. Morris get busy and use his influence to change things. It is too bad that our leading Negroes often condone disgraceful conditions. We expect to have our lowest element entertained, but it should be done by individuals of that set, and not by organizations under the name of secret societies, whose obligations are sacred and ideals are divine. JUSTICE TO ALL Equal and exact justice to all citizens of whatever nationality, race, color, or persuasion. A free ballot and a fair count. Grover Cleveland. NEW LIGHT ON HAYNES AGENCY Young Ad. Man Under Fire of Publishers. Personal Investigation of Promising Advertising Concern Made by the Chairman of the Executive Committee National Negro Press Association, Who Says the Agency is Reliable. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Having received letters from a number of publishers in reference to the responsibility of the Haynes Advertising agency in this city, I considered it my duty to make a personal investigation in order to furnish the members of the National Negro Press association with impartial and accurate information. To my mind an advertising agency is subject only to the control of the periodicals which it represents. I had the pleasure of calling upon the Haynes Advertising agency a few days ago and was most cordially received by Mr. Haynes, who is the proprietor of the business. After a few brief preliminary remarks I stated my mission, and without the least hesitation Mr. Haynes in the most intelligent way outlined his method of operation. Mr. Haynes says: "This agency is the outcome of nearly two years struggle against many obstacles. One is that of general racial prejudice, which is a universal handicap. Another most vital feature is that in a number of cases we have not been able to get accurate and efficient service from many of the colored publishers. The methods of general advertising have been greatly changed in recent years. The most important additional feature is the 'key system,' which has been adopted by all of the big advertisers. By this method each medium carrying an advertisement is recorded by the advertiser and is known by different numbers. For instance, one publication is known by department 6, another is known by department 24, and so on. "This system enables the advertiser to systematically check up replies from each medium carrying his advertisement, thus showing the actual results of each individual periodical in which his advertisement appears. This one feature alone has created extra expense in stamps, stationery and time, corresponding with publishers, instructing them to insert 'key numbers' correctly. We have written as many as six letters to some of these publishers on this one point before we could make them understand it. "Advertisers will not pay for any newspaper advertisements until sufficient proof of insertions is established. This important feature has been entirely ignored by many. "A great many who have been carrying advertisements from this office have failed to send in voucher copies bearing the advertisement. This also has greatly disturbed our routine." I was then shown sufficient proof that legal action had been started against an advertiser in order to make collection for publications that had compiled with instructions by inserting their proper key numbers and sending in voucher copies of their publications. In this particular case Mr. Haynes claimed that he had notified the publishers to whom he was indebted that he would be personally responsible for all bills if collections were not made within a limited time. Mr. Haynes further said: "The supremacy of this agency has been made possible by my most comprehensive combination rate plan, and careful study and experiment have proved that my system is the most effective and productive service to offer the big advertisers. There is no individual Negro publication having enough circulation to interest the big advertiser; consequently the combination of from ten to a hundred publications offering a combined circulation of many thousands is absolutely the only proposition that will attract the attention of the big advertiser to this class of publication. "From an ethical standpoint it is not improper, unsafe or unwise in grouping together any number of publications in order to accomplish a thing that could not be done otherwise. I might add that through my most favorable connections with the United Publishers' association and many of the large white advertising agencies of the country I am quite confident that within a short time this establishment will be a creditable asset to the colored publishers of this country. My advice to the colored publishers throughout the country is to give more attention to circulation. That is the essential chord on which the big advertisers play." Mr. Haynes is a member of the National Negro Press association, and his long practical experience in business should give him first hand knowledge as to business principles, and I believe that his agency is absolutely reliable and offers the most tangible and practical proposition ever before brought to the attention of the big advertisers. At present about one-third of the colored periodicals of America are represented by membership in the National Negro Press association TWIN CITY STAR WORK OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION High Tribute Paid to Its Efforts by W. Anthony Aery. Mr. W. Anthony Aery, press agent at the Hampton (Va.) institute, pays a high tribute to the efforts, work and achievements of the National Negro Press association in an article which recently appeared in the Southern Workman. The article in full is as follows: L. S. DONALDSON COMPANY Invites Your Personal Inspection of their Great Department Store M. B. Wider publicity for the facts of Negro progress and problems of race adjustment is being everywhere secured through heartier and more systematic co-operation among Negro editors and correspondents. Today men have a better chance than they have ever had before to secure accurate and timely facts concerning the struggles and successes of colored people, especially in the south. An important factor in the widening and deepening of public interest in the Negro as a progressive and vital element in American civilization is the National Negro Press association, organized in 1909 and given new life in 1912 at the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business league. A. B. The officers and members of the Negro Press association are working harmoniously "for the highest development of Negro journalism." Their policy is that of printing the "news without fear or favor, giving a true reflex of existing conditions without concealing evil." Their policy also includes the publication of a Negro newspaper and publishers' directory and the establishment of higher standards in advertising, business methods and news service for the public. The work on the directory is being ably done by Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., the national corresponding secretary. The problems of working out a plate service and of developing a reciprocal news service are being worked out by a subcommittee of the executive for action at the annual meeting of the association to be held in Philadelphia in August. a subcommittee action at the association to be August.

Pierce, "the famous extractor" with us every Monday and Friday and by special appointment. N. W. Colfax 1846. The white papers are coming to realize that the public is interested in Negro progress. They are printing as news items the advance of the American Negro in landowning, home building, community and school improvement. The Negro papers are devoting more space to live news concerning their own people and less to sensational material in which the ways, and not the best ways, of white people are exploited. In short, there is a gratifying growth in the common interest of giving all the people all the news of mutual progress and good will. The officers of the National Negro Press association are: R. W. Thompson, Washington, president; Joseph S. Jones, Cincinnati, O., and Gurley Brewer, Indianapolis. Ind., vice presidents; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Penn, and Charles Sumner Smith, Minneapolis. Minn., secretaries; John L. Thompson, Des Moines, Ia., treasurer; N. Barnett Dodson, New York city, chairman of the executive committee. Professorship For Carl J. Murphy. Carl J.
