MINNEAPOLIS DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL Defective Page VOL. 3 Single Copies 5 Cents PUBLIC DENOUNCE JIMCROW CARS Conditions on Roads In North Carolina Intolerable. REMEDY IN NEW MOVEMENT Disorimation on Railroads and Other Public Conveyances, With Poor Accommodations For Afro-Americans, a Menace to Health of Passengers-Dr. J. B. Dudley to the Fore. Greensboro, N. C.-The colored people of this section of the state are aroused as never before on account of the poor accommodations provided for members of the race on the railroads. Race prejudice and color discrimination in the public service in most every department of industry are causing no little unrest among our people. The movement for a change of conditions, recently started by Dr. James B. Dudley, is taking definite shape. Dr. Dudley has called the attention of those in authority to these intolerable conditions through the public press. He has also presented the matter to the State Teachers' association at the National Religious Training school. All are agreed that the Jimcrow service on the railroads is a menace to public health and a disgrace. Dr. Dudley is a man of wide influence and integrity. For many years he has been connected with the North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College For the Colored Race either in the capacity of trustee or president of the college. During the time he was trustee he held the office as secretary of the board and was at that time principal of the high school at Wilmington, N. C. He was elected to the presidency of the Agricultural and Mechanical college, this city, in 1897, and at that time the institution was young and not so well organized as it is now. It was also in bad financial condition. Shortly after his election as president of the institution a system of entrance examinations, well graded classes and courses of study was got up. At that time he found students coming directly from the farm being taught Latin, philosophy, psychology, etc. He had the course changed so as to include the subjects that would be more closely connected with the student's environment, such as agricultural and mechanical arts. He has succeeded admirably well by emphasizing these two lines until he now has what is known as the best school in the country doing work in agricultural and mechanical arts among Afro-Americans. One educator says, "It is the best technical school in the United States." During President Dudley's administration a farm has been purchased and is now known as the model farm of Guilford county. Its equipment is probably the best in the county; the dairy herd, etc., possibly the best in the state. The dairy inspector recently gave the college a percentage of 90, which is the highest ever given in this section of the state. President Dudley is in personal contact with the best element of white people in the state. He is now making efforts to get an agricultural building, in which will be the agricultural industries and activities. He has secured from the legislature funds for an up to date sewerage system, water system, central heating plant, two new dormitories and two new barns. The influence of the college is not only confined within its walls, but extends through its summer school, institutes and farmers' conferences. The summer school extends to all parts of the state, and Dr. Dudley and his assistants, who are graduates from Cornell and other leading institutions, are planning to organize what is known as an extension department, which will be extended to the farmers and teachers throughout North Carolina. Hampton's Principal on World Cruises Principal and Mrs H. B. Frissell of the Hampton (Va.) institute, accompanied by Miss Louise Dodd, sister of Mrs. Frissell, are on world cruise for the summer and all. They will visit many countries be are their return to Hampton this coming fall to take up their usual educational work Investment Company Gives Banquet. The Douglas Loan and Investment company of Pittsburgh is the oldest business concern of its kind among the colored people in the Pittsburgh section of the state. The company was organized twelve years ago, and in observance of that fact the members gave an elaborate banquet on Friday evening. July 25 DR. JAMES B. DUDLEY. PERSISTENCE IN BUSINESS. Rise of Edward W. Green on a Farm In Jefferson County, Miss. The story of the uphill struggle of many persons who have made a success in business is always interesting to the new beginner as he meets obstacle after obstacle, step by step, as he pushes on. Edward W. Green of Fayette, Miss., furnishes to the young business man an example of ambition and persistence. Mr. Green is the largest taxpayer of the race in Jefferson county. He got his start from his savings on a salary of $10 a month a few years ago. At the end of ten years he was earning $60 a month. He became an independent farmer. Now he owns 1,000 acres of land, eighty head of stock, carries $1,300 worth of insurance on his house, $11,000 worth of insurance on his life, employs seventy working people and has property holdings worth $80,000. Mr. Green began his married life with few possessions—a pair of shoes worth $1.50, a ten dollar suit and wedding clothes worth $12. He was left an orphan at the age of sixteen. Nevertheless at the age of forty-eight he is a wealthy and independent farmer and harvested in 1912 well over 5,000 bushels of corn and at least forty bales of cotton. WHITE ROSE INDUSTRIAL HOME FOR WORKING GIRLS Annual Report Shows Great Work at a New York Institution. The last public meeting for the summer in the interest of the White Rose Industrial Home For Working Girls was held at the Salem M. E. church in New York the last week in July. Mrs. H. L. Ferrell, superintendent of the home, presided. Mrs. M. C. Lawton, reporter for one of the Brooklyn daily papers and prominent in women's clubs and social settlement work, was the principal speaker. Mrs. M. C. Lawton gave in detail the history of the institution and made a strong appeal to those present to do all in their power to carry their own institutions and not to expect of others what they should do for themselves. She said that it should be but necessary for them to know that this institution not only stands for preservation of the girls morally, but industrially. Industry and morality, she said, are the bone and sinew of any people. The object of the association is to establish and maintain a Christian, nonsectarian home for colored working girls and women, where they may be trained in the principles of practical self help and right living. The annual report was read by the secretary, Miss H. E. Moorehouse, and was as follows: Number of free lodgings, 1,140; paid lodgers, 1,080; meals given, 2,230; average number of women cared for per day, 6; new lodgers during the year, 173; old lodgers, 196; total, 370. The record of service for the year was as follows: Number helped to work, 273; helped to continue journey, 273; garments distributed, 30; public meetings and entertainments held during the year, 45; number given Christmas dinner, 78. The association has as auxiliaries an Adults' club, Mothers' club, Travelers' Ald. Girls' Social club, Victoria Earle club, Boys' club and Relief club. Notwithstanding this association has been struggling with this particular line of race work since 1896 and feels fully repaid for all of its efforts, there are times when it seems impossible to stem the financial tide, and utter failure seems inevitable. The work was founded by the late Victoria Earle Mathews, whose sole desire was to benefit the masses of industrious women in quest of an honorable means of livelihood. *MOKE THE RELIABLE 50 BIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 50 Bright Outlook For Proposed Institute For Delinquent Girls The organization committee in charge of the financial campaign for raising funds for the establishment of the Sojourner Truth House For Delinquent Girls made its final report for this summer at the July meeting of the committee held at the headquarters of the National League on Urban Conditions, in West Fortieth street, New York. The cost of maintaining the proposed institution for three years is put at $15,000. The committee's report showed that $5,000 of this amount had been raised in cash. The work will be continued in the fall with renewed vigor. While the committee will hold no meeting in August, the appeal for funds continues, and it is hoped that many persons will subscribe to the fund. Members of the committee on organization are: Mrs. George Seligman, chairman; Mrs. A. S. Reed, secretary; Victor H. McCutcheon, treasurer; Mrs. William H. Jackson, Miss Elizabeth Walton, Homer Folks, Rector Huchens Bishop, Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr.; Mrs. John R. Scales, Mrs. M. C. Lawton, Miss Lillian D. Wald, Miss Gertrude Grasse, Eugene Kinckle Jones and Dr. Hastings Hart. PROGRESS AMONG WOMEN. Mme. C. J. Walker's Success Shows Their Capacity For Business. The progress of the race in business is by no means confined to any particular class or profession, because the opportunity to engage in gainful occupations is the common privilege of all. Not many years ago business enterprises of the larger sort were conducted almost solely by men, but with the rapid advance of the race in education, religious culture and training for special lines of work has came the business woman. In the various states this year where expositions are held in observance of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of Lincoln's emancipation preclamation the achievements of the women of the race in art, science, literature, business and in professional life MME. G. J. WALKER. are to be made a special feature of the exhibits. Some have distinguished themselves as educators, some in the broad field of domestic science, others in the medical and dental professions, and still others in music, both vocal and instrumental. In commercial pursuits and high finance there are those who have and are making their mark, as in the cases of Mme. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., and Mrs. Maggie L. Walker of Richmond, Va., who is the president of a banking institution of high repute. In the case of Mme. C. J. Walker it is only necessary to call attention to the fact that she was thrown upon her own resources early in life, worked on the farm in her natice state, Louisiana, attended the country school, did washing and troning for a livelihood later in life, and after a considerable struggle, by thrift and economy, saved enough of her hard earnings to start a business concern of her own, which is recognized as the largest and most successful of its kind owned and operated by a woman of our race. Mme. C. J. Walker has recently purchased the four story brownstone house at 108 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, New York. On the first floor of this magnificent dwelling is the Lelia college, devoted to the training of young women in hair culture and is in charge of Mme. Robinson, an accomplished young woman of pleasing address. Mme. Walker will in the future divide her time between her business in Indianapolis and New York. READ THE STAR-IT'S NEWS. FRONT RANK FOR MEN OF MERIT GAIN IN RELIGIOUS CULTURE High Standard of Efficiency Among Ministers is Demanded—What the Rev. Dr. P. W. Walls Has Accomplished as Pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church in Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala.—The various religious denominations of the race are placing in their churches trained ministers as leaders of the people. These prepared men are doing much for the moral, religious and spiritual uplift of the young people in particular and of the masses generally regardless of age. Standing in the front rank of pulpit orators and efficient trained pastors in the Rev. P. W. Walls, Ph. D., D. D., pastor of St John's A. M. E. church, this city. It was during the civil war and perhaps right in the thickest of the battle that this master of the rostrum was born in Memphis, Tenn. When the smoke of battle had fully blown away and the school was thrown open to the freedmen he had reached the school age and was among the early pupils in the Memphis public school system. It was in this city that he received his elementary training. Being bright in his studies, he won many friends among the teachers and was a favorite. He took hold of the good advice which was given to him from time to time, and it is not surprising to note that he was found in Berea college, Kentucky, where he took on his real literary work. Finishing from the college course, he wended his way to Gammon Theological seminary, there to become trained for his life's work and the highest calling—the ministry. Like most of the young men of the race, he had to work his way through school. He taught for awhile in Kentucky and Tennessee and for a short time was principal of the public school in Paris, Tenn., and in Columbus, Ky. As a teacher he stood in the front rank of the profession. He was among the few who made first grade rank in the state teachers' examination. Between preaching and teaching he was kept busy. He was one of the professors of Shorter college, North Little Rock, and was afterward elected president of the institution. Dr. Walls subsequently decided to deviate his whole time to the ministry. He served acceptably as presiding elder under Bishop Evans Tyree in the Arkansas district. His first large congregation was in Arkansas, at Carter's chapter, in Helena. He also pastored Visitors' chapel in Hot Springs and the St. John's A. M. E. church at Pine Bluff. It was during his ministry in the above places that his superior gifts as a pastor and leader manifested themselves. During the fall conferences of 1907 Bishop B. F. Lee appointed Dr. Walls presiding elder, and he served in that capacity until 1910, when Bishop Parks invited Dr. Walls to come to Alabama and take charge of St. John's A. M. E. church, which he is now serving. Rev. Mr. Walls is an aggressive pastor, and during the three years he has been in Birmingham over 800 have been added to the church. A strong effort is now being put forth to purchase land on which to erect a new modern church in a more desirable section of the city. The educational institutions have recognized his worth as a minister and scholar. Gammon Theological seminar gave him the degree of bachelor of divinity; Campbell college, Jackson, Miss., conferred on him the degree of doctor of divinity, and Paul Quilim college, Waco, Tex., seeing his worth to the race, conferred upon him the degree of doctor of philosophy. Ability and worth count for something; hence D. Walls is much sought. He is invited to various parts of the country to deliver special sermons and addresses. At the last commencement of Tuskegee institute he delivered an address to the graduating class from Pheip's Bible school which not only elicited commendations from the faculty and visitors, but brought Dr. Washington to his feet with glowing words of praise and compliments. 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.

With all the machinery of the law in their own hands, white mobs in at least ten southern states recently have lynched as many, and possibly a greater number, of colored persons for various alleged crimes. One attempt at lynching a colored man failed, but that was in Rhode Island. What a human, bloodthirsty civilization exists in America! No.48 CARDINAL GIBBONS BIRTHDAY. A FLOOD OF CONGRATULATIONS. Messages from the Pope and other Cardinals and from Rulers of European Countries. Councilman Cumming's Letter Cardinal Gibbons reached his 79th birthday on July 23, which he passed in quiet and repose receiving numerous flowers and congratulations. The following letter from a Negro, Hon. Harry S. Cummings, City Councilman of Baltimore, Md., was published in the Baltimore Sun, July 23, as follows: To His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, Cardinal's Residence, North Charles Street, City: Greeting—Today marks the seventyninth anniversary of your birthday. For more than a half century you have served your great church as an earnest, eloquent and devoted messenger of its doctrines to many, many thousand souls, and for more than 25 years of this period your able and eminent services have been rendered as Cardinal with the sole responsibility and destiny of your church in America in your hands until a few years ago. What your personality and your services have been to your church has in many ways been attested by the evidence of their gratitude during your period of service. To but few men in our times and of your eminent position has the good fortune come to have so willingly rendered so much and so great a service to the needy, the down-trodden and oppressed of this land more than to yourself, and from the lips and pen of no living man in our times have come more effective messages in condemnation of the wrong and earnest enjoining to do the right at all times and forever than have emanated from your lips and your pen. So that, regardless of race, creed or condition, the oppressed of this land have and do rightly look upon you as their true friend, and therefore as one whose long life and continued service are a matter of the deepest concern and of earnest prayer. You will therefore permit me, as an humble representative of my race in this city, knowing as I do their sufferings and their hopes, their heart beats and their yearnings, their eternal gratitude and devotion to you regardless of their religious leanings, to congratulate you on this the seventy-ninth anniversary of your birthday, and assure you that our sentiment is a reflex of that of the more than 10,000,000 Negroes in this land. It is our earnest desire and prayer that your long and useful career may be extended over many more years to the blessing of your church and the good of mankind generally. These flowers are but a small token of our affection and esteem, and only a tender and gentle reminder that as you have been and are our friend, so are we yours. Very sincerely yours, Harry S. Cummings. Baltimore, July 23, 1913. This letter from Councilman Cummings was the only one published of the many received. Large Gathering of Young People.

The Twin Cities of Minnesota, with a population of over half a million, are well worth visiting. They appeal to every visitor and are quile in the wealth of natural scenery they possess, for Nature has been generous with her gifts to them. They have been justly called "The Cities of Lakes, Rivers and Parks." Within the limits of St. Paul and Minneapolis there are 14 beautiful lakes with a shore line of over 28 miles. Within a radius of 25 miles of these cities there are 100 more lakes. In both cities there are 4,875 acres of parks and parkways, 1,618 acres of park lakes, as well as 51 miles of boulevards and river drives which border both sides of the Mississippi River from Fort Snelling to Minneapolis. The last census reports the death rate in the Twin Cities to be lower than that of any other large community in the United States. The climate is invigorating, the people are busy, prosperous, progressive, and happy and you will thoroughly enjoy visiting "The Twins" for any length of time. You are cordially invited. Come! The Four "Interurbans" Traveling back and forth between St. Paul and Minneapolis the visitor may obtain a good idea of the geography of the Twin Cities, as well as enjoy much interesting sightseeing. There are four Interurban lines connecting the Twin Cities, and each line has its own special scenic attractions. Cars on one line are marked "Minneapolis-St. Paul," on another "Como-Harriet," or "Como-Hopkins," on another "Selby-Lake," and on the fourth "Snelling-Minnehaha." The fare from city to city is 10 cents, collected in two fares of 5 cents in each city, entitling the passenger to transfer at either end to any local line desired. All places of interest can be reached from either St. Paul or Minneapolis as starting point. For instance, if you start from St. Paul to Lake Minneatonka, go to Minneapolis by any Interurban line and ask conductor for transfer to Lake Minnetonka. On return trip, ask conductor on Lake Minnetonka Train for transfer to any Interurban line to St. Paul. ST. PAUL TO WILDWOOD PARK. The trip from St. Paul to Wildwood Park is through rural scenes whose beauty is the constant delight of the thousands who travel this highway. You get fine, distant views of the Twin Cities as the train rolls along over the broad, panoramic country. Past North St. Paul, Silver Lake and Long Lake, with pretty farms and ever-changing verdant pictures on all sides, the line sweeps into Wildwood Park, where one may find rest, coolness, and kindred delights of the good, old summertime. Wildwood Park has a splendidly appointed bathing beach. It is on the South Shore of White Bear Lake and is one of the loveliest spots in the Northwest, combining all the features of a park, lake and summer resort, and offering plenty in the way of clean, wholesome entertainment to make you forget your troubles. Fishing and boating are two favorite forms of pastime. As a place of pleasant recreation, Wildwood Park is unexcelled, and its popularity is testified to by the thousands who avail themselves of its advantages every day.

From Lake Harriet you'll experience something unusual in the way of an Electric ride of 14 miles to Excelsior, for there is no better built or equipped line in existence than this. It was built on honor, without a single instance of false economy. Double tracks of 80-pound steel rails are laid on a perfectly ballasted private right of way, level and straight, except here and there where some long, easy curve, planned with the most scientific skill, serves only to turn the scenic page and enhance the pleasure of the trip. On this smooth, steel roadway the 300-horsepower train speeds along with ease at a mile-a-minute clip over a succession of picturesque meadows and marshlands, across brooks, beside small lakes, and through the hills and woods. Nine miles from Minneapolis the line passes the thriving manufacturing town of Hopkins (population, over 3,000). At Excelsior Dock Station, connections are made with Express Boats to and from principal "Lower" and "Upper" Lake points. From the Dock Station the train passes through the business section of Excelsior (population, over 1,000), skirts Glideons Bay, and runs into "Wildhurst Loop," where connections are made with Express Boats to and from principal "Upper" and "Lower" Lake points. Then to Tonka Bay, which is the end of the line. The "Deephaven Line" follows the route of the "Excelsior-Wildhurst-Tonka Bay Line" as far as Deephaven Junction, where it branches off to the right among the picturesque Minnetonka Hills to Deephaven, on Carson's Bay. Directly opposite the terminal, on a little island, is the Minnetonka Yacht Club House. Express Boats connect with trains at Deephaven to and from principal "Lower" and "Upper" Lake points. An enjoyable "Scenic Belt Trip" includes a ride to the Lake on the Deephaven Line, an Express Boat trip around the Lake, with return to Minneapolis on the Excelsior Line from Excelsior.

IF YOU DON'T ADVERTISE You get bad Results AUGUST FIRST Picnic Knights of Pythias CARVER MINN. 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 Twin 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? RUNNING A NEWSPAPER Running a newspaper is a thing that every person knows how to do except the editor or manager. Nobody should ever get a reasting in its columns except the editor and his friends. On the other hand, their friends should be sweet scented, praised and banqueted. If you do something bad you want the editor to keep your name out of the paper; but, on the other hand, should you buy a new dress or hat or feed two or three of the bon tons of the town at your table or sing a solo you want a big puff and a boost, and if you don't get it you are going to stop the paper. A newspaper is something no one forgets to condemn for its mistakes, but never remember to praise it for the good it accomplishes. —The Advocate, Portland, Oregon.

Remarkable Record of Man Who Achieved Greatness Nearly Two Centuries Ago Almost Single Handed. Won Success by Dogged Persistence. Was Possessor of Strong Memory. The biography of Benjamin Banneker as given by John H. B. Latrobe and published by the American Negro Monographs company, in Washington, is worthy of the most careful reading. Professor John W. Cromwell is the editor of series No. 3, which contains a full account of Banneker's achievements. Benjamin Banneker was born in Baltimore county, Md., near the village of Illinois' Mills, in the year 1732. His father was a native African and his mother the child of natives of Africa, so that to no admixture of the blood of the white man was he indebted for his peculiar and extraordinary abilities. His father was a slave when he married, but his wife, who was a free woman and possessed of great energy and industry, very soon afterward purchased his freedom. Banneker's mother was named Morton before her marriage and belonged to a family remarkable for its intelligence. When upward of seventy she was still very active, and it is remembered of her that at this advanced age she made nothing of running and skipping like a child. Property Qualification For Voters. A nephew of hers, Greenbury Morton, was a person of some note notwithstanding his complexion. Prior to 1809 free people of color possessed of a certain property qualification voted in Maryland. In this year a law was passed restricting the right of voting to free white males. Morton was ignorant of the law till he offered to vote at the polls in Baltimore county, and it is said that when his vote was refused he addressed the crowd in a strain of pure impassioned eloquence which kept the audience that the election had assembled in breathless attention while he spoke. When Benjamin was old enough he was employed to assist his parents in their labor. This was at an early age when his destiny seemed nothing better than that of a child of poor and ignorant free Negroes, occupying a few acres of land in a remote and thinly peopled neighborhood, a destiny which certainly at this day is not of very brilliant promise and which at the time in question must have been gloomy enough. In the intervals of toil and when he was approaching or had attained manhood he was sent to an obscure and distant country school, which he attended until he had acquired a knowledge of reading and writing and had advanced in arithmetic as far as double position. In all matters beyond these rudiments of learning he was his own instructor. On leaving school Ben, as his friends were wont to call him, was obliged to labor for years, almost uninterrupted, for his support. But, his memory being retentive, he lost nothing of the little education he had acquired. On the contrary, although utterly destitute of books, he amplified and improved his stock of arithmetical knowledge by the operation of his mind alone. He was an observer of everything that he saw or which took place around him in the natural world. He sought with avidity information from all sources of what was going forward in society, so that he became gradually possessed of a fund of general knowledge which it was difficult to find among those even who were far more favored by opportunity and circumstances than he was. At first his information was a subject of wonder among his illiterate neighbors only, but by degrees his reputation spread through a wider circle. Benjamin Banneker, still a young man, came to be thought of as one who could not only perform all the operations of mental arithmetic with extraordinary facility, but exercise a sound and discriminating judgment upon men and things. Invents Clock at Thirty Years of Age It was at this time, when he was about thirty years of age, that he contrived and made a clock which proved an excellent timepiece. He had seen a watch, but not a clock, such an article not yet having found its way into the quiet and secluded valley in which he lived. The watch was therefore his model. It took him a good while to accomplish this feat, his great difficulty, as he often used to say, being to make the hour, minute and second hands correspond in their motions. But the clock was finished at last and raised still higher the credit of Banneker in his neighborhood as an ingenious man, as well as a good arithmetician. As already stated, the basis of Banneker's arithmetical knowledge was obtained from the schoolbook into which he had advanced as far as double position, but in 1787 Mr. George Elliott lent him "Mayer's Tablets," "Ferguson's Astronomy" and "Leadbeater's Lunar Tables." Along with these books were some astronomical instruments. TWIN CITY STAR HUMAN NATURE GIVES ANSWER Phenomena Incident to Racial Relations Cover the World. MANY THEORIES ADVANCED. Practical and Philosophic Analysis of the Vexed Question of Racial Maladjustment by Horace J. Rollins, Who Believes In According to Every Man Fair Treatment. Troy, O. - From the inception of the abolition movement through the great civil war, up from slavery, on through the reconstruction period, the colored race in America has had severe struggles and mighty difficulties to hinder its progress, yet there is encouragement in the fact that history records the rise of no race or individual achievements which have come without strong effort, ambition and persistence in the face of oppression. We give below the first of two articles from the pen of a white man who has been a firm friend of the colored people for more than half a century. Horace J. Rollins of Troy, O., is one of the old guard, who knows the ardeal through which our people have passed, their present environment and the attitude of those who would hinder rather than help the cause of justice and equal rights for all American citizens. Of nature's answer to man's race question Mr. Rollins writes the following: The whole world continues to be disturbed by certain phenomena incident to racial relations. Countless people—many of them classed as philosophers—speak and write of the "problem;" there is no end of utterances that are misleading and harmful, yet now and then an observer notes facts that are impressive, and good suggestions are sometimes offered. However, almost invariably these are fragmentary and as discon- [Image of a man with a white beard and a bald head, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt. The background is a plain white surface with a faint grid pattern. The man's face is centered in the image, and his expression is neutral. The image is cropped to focus on his face.] MORGAN J. BOLLINS. bected as stray segments of a circle. They fail to indicate a symmetrical system. Recently a professor of the London university declared that, as the Caucasian cannot thrive in the hot countries and as the natives of them do flourish in the north, the white type, being less prolific, will be pushed to disappearance. This is interesting and if it were true would be quite startling. Nature (walving her arrogant egotism and destructive selfishness) appreciates the white man and will use him rightly. The gloomy groping has various aspects, an instance of which shows wonderful contrast to the above, especially as to complexion. It is the promulgation that pictures the advent of a big, strong, unscrupulous blond, who, as a superman (or a superhog, for apparently there is small difference), is to destroy all other citizens, the good, the true, the beautiful, not caring even for the lovable, and useful brunette, whose milk is said to be exceptionally rich. His prognosticated portrait is not pleasant, and we will not have him. Some time ago a writer of international fame in earnestly denouncing race prejudice declared of it, without offering radical explanation, "It is a monster begotten of natural instincts and intellectual confusion." In the varied forms of it there certainly is such confusion. It is obvious in the presence of the strange and multiform manifestations and persecutions, even destroying life as an imagined duty, which mark the new century, in Europe and the United States, districts where education, legal questions and Christianity are much discussed and where the inference would naturally be that justice and kindness are what each one owes to all others. Such obscurity must be cleared and also the foggy conclusion that this prejudice is from "providence." But in order to classify this intellectual confusion truth so that it becomes available we must consider the disquieting fact that the monster is "bogotten of natural instincts." Let us see how it came about that a force so ugly sprang from a normal impulse. Primitive man, like other promising animals, developed a necessary caution as to contact with people queerly and mysteriously unlike himself. This was protective, and rightfully so. The infant in its cradle today is typical of the child-man and shows unmistakable fear upon the intrusion of strange faces into the nursery and in its feeble way attempts to avoid them. Property, welfare and life itself have been conserved simply by the "offish" instinct. It has also had temporarily a wonderful use, pertaining to certain values acquired in the condition of racial integrity, which we will consider presently. Therefore we do not think of shyness in general as being a bad or mean quality. However, it is an involuntary acknowledgment that intelligence is lacking requisite to right conduct of life. It bars the reciprocal relations necessary to growth of civilization. So primitive shyness or avoidance cannot always remain commendable. With general development it either takes an advanced form—as, for instance, just circumspection—or, with changing relations, it readily becomes pernicious. The biologist knows that when normal conditions are exaggerated or strained they must become abnormal. In a similar way a racial distrust, once temporarily useful, drifts into unwarranted obstruction or ruinous antipathy. The egoistic tendency, encouraged by slickly intelligence, invites prejudice to come in and expel reciprocal justice. While this may be due to mistake on the part of some, it really is a phase of selfishness. There is, of course, monstrous self-ishness not identified with prejudice and not involved with racial relations. It distresses humanity today in the forms of official betrayal of trust, child labor schemes and monopolistic greed. Like race maladjustment, such manifestations begin in unreasonable extension of natural impulse and result in degradation. This particular perversion, we believe, are those, is now in the climax of its ugliness. Such phenomena constitute the moral interregnum which now shamefully and fatally afflicts this country. True civilization seeks the balance between egalism and altruism. In view of certain facts, some of which we briefly indicate, and of significant typal manifestations universally evident, "intellectual confusion" is no longer pardonable. The popular movement for education is on a surfer footing than ever before, doubtless because of increasing interest in the philosophy of evolution. In its light, racial phenomena must be observed. As for general safety—walving the idea of non-natural assistance and that of human reason—there is remedial action in Nature herself. An instance of this truth is the spontaneous movement of racial convergence, which proceeds as surely and about as quietly and safely as does the working of the law of gravitation. The result is publicly commented upon by some who do not understand it. A magazine writer has noted the increasing number of people of mixed type, declaring that it is not much matter if scholarship can offer no explanation of this, as it will presently explain itself Long ago the writer entered this field, and in 1808 a monograph appeared, "Nyetta Segal" (Dillingham). At least a few called it radical and adequate as a pioneer sketch. These claimed for it priority as to identification of the phenomenon with evolutionary laws, for there was dearth of the pertinent in textbook and cyclopedia. SHREWD BUSINESS MAN. Success of J. Jamison, the Los Angeles Iron Merchant. One of the most gratifying signs of the progress which the race is making is seen in the thrift and industry of many ambitious individuals who in the far west are engaged in lines of business other than the ordinary. The manufacture of cotton fabrics, soap, statuary and the like has been undertaken. Quite out of the ordinary indeed we find Mr. J. Jamison of Los Angeles, Cal., engaged in the iron business with marked success. He has a large yard on Santa Fe avenue, in Los Angeles, with improved facilities for handling the commodity and employs a large number of persons in his establishment. By buying several tons of iron at a time he is able to secure more reasonable terms. This has been one of the features of his success in the business which he has given careful study. Mr. Jamison is well known among the large iron manufacturers of the state, who recognize in him those necessary elements which characterize the successful man of affairs. Mr. Jamison started his business in a small way. He proceeded cautiously, keeping a close watch on receipts and expenses. By this method he has kept on the safe side in a line of business not hitherto undertaken by our people. Splendid Work of the Rev. D. J. Jenkins Rev. D. J. Jenkins, founder and president of the orphanage which bears his name in Charleston, S. C., is doing a splendid work of uplift among the people. He not only keeps the institution up to a high standard of efficiency in its work and care for the orphans, but takes a leading part in all good movements for the benefit of the race in the community. The Rev. Mr. Jenkins is also the successful pastor of the New Tabernacle Fourth Baptist church. Banks Operated by Afro-Americans Savings banks operated by Afro- Americans by states are distributed as follows: Four in Tennessee, seven in Alabama, four in Georgia, eleven in Mississippi, ten in Virginia, Texas and North Carolina, six each, Florida, South Carolina and Maryland, one each; Oklahoma, two; Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, one each, and two in Illinois. For the Children Dog Knows His Master's Favorite Music. ```markdown ``` MASTER TOMMY WITH HIS PET COLLIE. Most of you children have seen the advertisement of a certain talking machine which shows a clever little fox terrier dog listening to his master's voice as it comes through the transmitting horn. Well, here's a splendid, fine collie puppy who not only recognizes his young owner's voice, but is perfectly familiar with the music played on the piano by his talented master. There is a spirited march that makes the dog come from under the plano and walk about the room to the stirring strains, sidestepping and prancing about in wonderful dog fashion. He never whines and yelps as so many of his kind do at the sound of music, but seems to appreciate it in a remarkably intelligent manner. Master Tommy is something of an all round sport, and he and the dog have many an exciting wrestling match in which it is hard to find out which is the winner. Consequences. One of the most popular games at a party is consequences. It is an old favorite, but has lost none of its charms with age. The players sit in a circle. Each person is provided with a half sheet of note paper and a pencil and is asked to write on the top (1) one or more adjectives, then to fold the paper over so that what has been written cannot be seen. Every player has to pass his or her paper on to the right hand neighbor, and all have then to write on the top of the paper that has been passed by the left hand neighbor (2) "the name of the gentleman." After this the paper must again be folded and passed as before; this time must be written (3) one or more adjectives; then (4) a lady's name; next (5) where they met; next (6) what he gave her; next (7) what he said to her; next (8) what she said to him; next (9) the consequence and lastly (10) what the world said about it. Be careful that every time anything has been written the paper is folded down and passed on to the player on your right. When every one has written what the world says the papers are collected and one of the company proceeds to read out the various papers, and the result may be something like this: (1) The horrifying and delightful (2) Mr. Brown (3) met the charming (4) Miss Phillips (5) in Westchester park; (6) he gave her a flower (7) and said to her, "How's your mother?" (8) She said to him, "Not for Joseph." (9) The consequence was they danced the hornpipe and the world said, (10) "Just what we expected." A Little Bird Told Me A Little Bird Told Me.

Whitman of New York is numbered among the stalwart friends of humanity without regard to race, creed or color. On many occasions during his able administration of the affairs of his office he has stood in the breach between Afro-Americans and their enemies. It is encouraging therefore to refer to his attitude of fairness toward the colored people and their right to equal justice in courts of law without discrimination. Speaking at a meeting in New York held under the auspices of an organization for race advancement upon one occasion, District Attorney Whitman in part said: Crime is crime, whether committed by a white man or a black man. Society must be protected from acts of violence whether the offender has had every opportunity for intellectual and moral growth from his babyhood or has always lived in the darkness of ignorance and depravity. Certain offenses, too awful for description, arouse public indignation which is well night uncontrollable, and that is as true in one section of the land as in another. It is not within the scope of the authority of those charged with the enforcement of law to consider questions involving heredity, environment or the ultimate responsibility for conditions which must be met as those charged with the making of laws have determined. Sentiment and charity should not excuse indolence and crime, and desire to secure the advancement of one race must not countenance unfairness and injustice to another. The Negro, as he exists in this country, is a product of conditions created by the white man. When the nation assured him the rights of citizenship it guaranteed to him the protection and the enjoyment of those rights, but the great country itself at least morally assumed an infinitely greater responsibility. For our own protection, if for no unselfish motive, we are obligated to see to it that the opportunity, which we are proud to say in this country is given to all, shall not be denied to him; that where he is made to feel the rigor of the law he may also depend upon the protection of the law; that his race or his color is no more to be condemned on account of the offenses of some of its members than are other races or other people to be censured under like conditions. THE DIGNITY OF LABOR. The Negrō, who is ashamed to labor with pick and shovel is generally indentified with the loafing and criminal class—the destructive element of the race. BAPTISTS MAKE GREAT ADVANCE INFLUENCE OF DR. MORRIS. Religious Progress of the Race to Be Special Feature at Coming Meeting of the National Baptist Convention in September—Busy Life of Dr. Charles Stewart. Helena, Ark.—This is the year of celebration among the members of the race, and great are the efforts being put forth in the various departments of racial agencies. The churches of the country are calling upon the people to show appreciation in some way to God for directing the hand which wrote the emancipation proclamation fifty years ago. Educational institutions are asking for endowments, and some are calling upon the race to come together in thanksgiving services. Perhaps the most elaborate planned celebration by any religious body is that of the national Baptist convention, in shape of an exposition to be conducted during the session of the convention Sept. 17 to 22, in Nashville, Tenn. Arrangements are being made by the Nashville people to entertain 10,000 visitors, and the various boards of the convention are at work on details for the celebration. Rev. Elias C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, Ark., has been at the head of the convention for almost a quarter of a century and has the confidence of the Baptists throughout the country. For a number of years Dr. Morris has been a recognized leader among his people throughout the country and has been foremost in every movement that meant racial development. He has been the pastor of one church thirty years, having celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of his pastorate in July, which was a great event, and brought together 2,000 people from all parts of Arkansas and visitors from other states. The anniversary sermon was preached by Dr. Charles Stewart of Chicago, the veteran newspaper correspondent. It was at the 1912 session of the national Baptist convention that Dr. Morris recommended that the 2,500,000 Baptists show to the world the progress made by the race in the past fifty years and recommended that an exposition be held in connection with the convention. This was unanimously adopted, and already fifty commissioners are at work collecting data, charts and inventions made by members of the race. Encouraging reports are being received by the president from all parts of the country. President Morris is among those benefited by the emancipation proclamation, and he is laboring night and day to make the exposition feature a success. The Baptists of the country are rallying to his support. A program which will cover every feature of the convention's work and the progress of the race has been made by the board, and some of the ablest men of both races will deliver addresses. It is expected that 25,000 people will attend this meeting of the convention and that it will be the greatest gathering of Baptists ever assembled at any one time. One of the marvels of the age is the wonderful advancement made by the Negroes in the last fifty years, and yet there are many people in our own country who do not know of this wonderful advancement, and it is proposed to show in a limited way, by means of a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the race, that the race has "made good" in these fifty years. Especially is it true in a religious sense. "Blessed is that race (nation) whose God is the Lord." In giving reasons for such a celebration the first and perhaps the greatest one is the fact God has been with the race in all the days of its freedom and has raised up friends in the stronger and more advanced race, who have been constant in their efforts to help the Negro rise, and for this reason the principal religious organizations among the people of our race should celebrate with thanksgiving and praise the success which has come to them in these fifty years. A second reason is that the harder the persecution heaped upon the race in some sections of the country by those who would prevent its growth the greater has been its progress materially, intellectually and religiously. Third, to convince the world that the Jimcrow legislation and other proscriptive and unjust laws enacted in many of the states with a view to discourage, humiliate and retard the progress of the race have failed of their purpose and that the race can show by correct statistics that no race in any time has made greater advancement under similar circumstances. Fourth, the celebration will be a means of giving encouragement to those of our own race who have lost courage and will inspire in them a hope which will make the future achievements of the race far greater than they have been in the past and will serve to unify the efforts in the future advancement of the race." The largest auditorium in Nashville has been secured for the meeting of the convention, and Greenwood park will be used for the exposition feature. WIN CITY STAR FEZZAH Great Department Store How J. Henry Sherwood is Winning His Spur on Merit. St. Paul, Minn.—J.

He was elected grand secretary in 1906 and grand master in 1909, serving three terms. He entered the Scottish Hite June 6, 1907, and is now secretary of North Star consistory. Mr. Sherwood succeeded in reorganizing Fezzan temple in this city in 1908 and was appointed potentate by the deputy and was elected to that position the following year, after which he served two terms as recorder and was elected imperial chief rabbian 1910 at Detroit, deputy imperial potentate 1911 at Atlantic City and re-elected at Washington 1912, with the promise ringing in his ears that he would be honored with the imperial potentate-ship at Indianapolis this year.
