MINNEAPOLIS DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST. PAUL Defective Page HIGH STANDARD WORK OF WOMEN Recent Meeting of Time Honored Religious Organization Held In Nashville Not Surpassed by Any of its Kind—Program of Brilliant Features Showing Progress of Denomination. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Nashville, Tenn.—The session of the woman's convention, auxiliary to the national Baptist convention recently held here, was the biggest and best in the history of the organization. No MISS N. H. BURROUGHS. organization of women is raising as much money and doing so much real work as this organization. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is the executive secretary and to her is given the credit for the best "Jubilee" anniversary held this year. The souvenir printed program is a gem. It is attractive and unique, brimful of facts touching the achievements of the race in this country. Her unique arrangement in pyramid form of the achievements of the race has called forth great praise. The jubilee badge was another device that showed the clever work of a master mind. It, too, contained facts touching achievements of the race. A great poster called "Triumphant Trudging" showed the progress of Baptists in every state since the first church was started near Savannah, Ga. The state buttons told the number of Baptists in the state. Miss Burroughs' annual report showed real achievement. The frank, clear, practical discussion of all the big problems stamps the woman most capable for the great work to which she was elected for the twelfth time by acclamation amid cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. Everybody ought to have one of these valuable programs for his library and one of the reports as a textbook on social problems now to be solved. But the biggest achievement was the getting out of the Jubilee message—a brand new song book containing 250 brand new selections. Two songs, "We Have Fought Every Race's Battles but Our Own" and "The Prophecy," were written by Miss Burrougha. The former is destined to become as popular among us as "Dixie" and "America" are among the whites of our country. The book also contains ten of the best jubilee songs. The music at the convention was the best ever heard in any great religious gathering. The woman's convention raised over $21,000 during the year and about $3,000 at the Nashville meeting. Great men and women came from every section of the country to deliver addresses, to pledge themselves anew to co-operation in the work of uplifting our people. This meeting was not given up to making big speeches without laying big plans. The women are going to build a memorial arch at the entrance to their training school in Washington. They are to erect a $25,000 building on the grounds to meet the demands of this growing institution. The girls from the training school covered themselves with glory. Every feature of the big program was a star number. The needlework exhibit, under the direction of Mrs. Emma L. Cabaniss, was a great success. Mrs. Eva Hicks and Mrs. Eva Hooper of Chicago had charme of the supplies, and no women worked harder for the success of the big meeting than they. Miss Geneva L. Staulz and Miss Ophelia Porter, sweet shine, connected with the school, gave annual service and ingrafted themselves into the hearts of the thousands who heard them sing and saw them co-operating in the work of the convention. Mrs. M. M. Gilmore of South Carolina won the jubilee medal for the best field work in her state during the year. Miss M. Helen Adams, the social worker, who has been doing slum work in Glasgow, Scotland, for fourteen years, is to take up work under the auspices of the convention and conduct a center in Washington. The women are certainly planning great things, and then they are pushing the plans. The center opens Oct. 10 and has a great field and, we believe, a great future. WELL QUALIFIED PASTOR.

DeMond, B.D., after twenty two years of service in his church is one of the leading colored Congregational ministers of the United States. SCHOOL AT NEW AUGUSTINE INCREASING IN USEFULNESS. What Principal E. H. Wooda is Doing For St. Augustine Institute. The St. Augustine Industrial institute at New Augustine, Fla., is steadily coming into prominence and greater usefulness as an educational center for the people of that section of the state. The school was founded in 1903 and is chartered under the laws of the state, but not under its control. It is mainly supported by voluntary contributions. Instruction is given in English and the various trades under competent teachers. The principal of the school is E. Howard Woods, a young man of sterling worth and character, who is intensely interested in the development of the work. Mr. Woods spent the summer in the north, working in the interest of the institution, and met with much success in acquainting the public with the work and needs of the school. The board of trustees is co-operating with the principal in the work with much earnestness and vigor. The outlook for the present school year, which began the first week in October, is very promising for a large enrollment of students. The members of the board of trustees are; Dr. D. W. Roberts, chairman; E. H. Woods, secretary; S. M. Mayes, treasurer; Rev. G. M. Elliott, D. D.; L. Daniels, Rev. C. S. Daniels, D. D.; R. B. Bassa, H. H. Williams and E. L. Anderson. Many who complain that they do not get the Star have been cut off and they will get it on the renewal of their subscription by check or P. O. order. Exhibition Showing Progress of Colored Americans Since the Civil War Proved Intelligence and Handiwork of Many Individuals to Overcome Difficulties—Editor Perry's Views. Philadelphia.—The emancipation proclamation exposition held here from Sept. 15 to Sept. 30 inclusive is over. For the past year the public has been kept informed on the purpose of the celebration and what it meant to those who have made the struggle upward through many difficulties for the past fifty years. Taking all things into consideration, the efforts of the commission intrusted with the task were successful. The festival proved the contention that under given circumstances we have men and women among us who are capable of bringing things to pass which count for equal worth and achievement similar to the progress made by those whose opportunities have been more favorable. The program rendered from day to day showed merit. The end of this great event brings relief to the managers, who have worked faithfully for many months to present some of the marked achievements which the race has made since its freedom. But of those who toiled amid great handicap to bring about the results obtained no man had a more difficult task to perform than William J. Robinson, the contractor, under whose directions the buildings in which the exposition was held were erected. Of Mr. Robinson's struggles Chris J. Perry, the venerable and long time editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, tells the following story. Mr. Perry says: It so happened that the emancipation commission appointed by the legislature was composed of white men, with one exception in the person of the Hon. Harry Bass. The gentlemen of this commission, not being familiar with the ability which colored men possess, threw out the hint that all the work, even down to the erection of the proposed exposition buildings, ought to be designed and erected by colored mechanics. As soon as this gauntlet was thrown down Mr. Bass immediately sprang to his feet and in an earnest manner assured the gentlemen of the commission that our people had men who are thoroughly qualified to do all the work necessary to be done. All they asked was to be furnished with the means. After this meeting Mr. Bass sent for Mr. W. J. Robinson, the well known contractor, and informed him of the views of the commission. Mr. Bass then told Mr. Robinson where the plot of ground was located upon which the buildings were to be constructed. The following day Mr. Robinson surveyed the ground, drew up his plans and submitted his price for erection, all of which were speedily accepted, and word was given to the contractor to go ahead. It did not take long for him to have tous of lumber and other material on the ground, with a large force of colored artisans ready to work. But another hitch halted the operation—viz. the lease not been signed. This was followed by some log rolling between the mayor and the city solicitor, one declining to sign this lease until the other had done so. Then came a cessation of hostilities, caused by the mayor leaving the city for a rest in the Pocono mountains. Day by day the contractor visited the mayor's office to get his signature, only to hear in dulce tones. "The mayor is out of town." But the director was in town, and he kept an officer on watch at Broad and Oregon streets day and night to see to it that not even the skeleton of a building should be erected until the much sought for permit was signed. In this way the erection of the buildings was retarded. Thus weeks passed by. Things were discouraging. It is true, but a persistent man was at the helm in the person of William J. Robinson, and eventually success crowned his efforts, he secured the long looked for permit, but received it at a time that left him only five weeks to commence and complete his work. Grave doubts were expressed on all sides concerning Mr. Robinson's ability to get the buildings ready in time for the opening of the exposition. But with a snap of the eye and the curl of a defiant lip he replied, "Get me some good lamps and I will put a day and a night force at work." This was done, and for weeks this determined contractor labored with his men day and night, and at the beginning of the fifth week he said, "Gentlemen, your buildings are ready to receive exhibits." Promoters of New Bank Encouraged. Ocala, Fla., has a new colored bank as a direct result of the inspiration furnished its founders by their visit to the Philadelphia meeting of the National Negro Business league. The capital stock has all been paid in and the bank already has a sufficient number of depositors to guarantee its success. BUSY LIFE OF C. H. BROOKS. Author, Real Estate Broker and Leader In Many Good Movements. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. Philadelphia—Charles H. Brooks, Esq., who served as chairman of the local committee of arrangements for the entertainment of the National Negro Business league held here in August, is one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of this city. He is a business man of much experience and has been a worker in many good movements for racial uplift here. He is one of those rare characters whose influence pervades the very atmosphere in which he moves, and his friends lavish upon him their confidence and esteem. Mr. Brooks not only occupies a conspicuous place in the business arena, but has gained distinction as an author, Christian worker and friend of education. His best known work is the "History of Odd Fellowship Among Colored Men In America," which appeared in 1894. This is the only work of the kind ever published by a member of our race. The data for the book were gathered by Mr. Brooks from England, Australia and here in America. The committee of management in England, the highest governing board in the world, pronounced the matter contained in the book absolutely correct. Copies are on file in the office of all the subcommittees. By contract with the American subcommittee Mr. Brooks agreed not to reproduce copies of the book after the first edition was exhausted. The manual of the order for the board to which he belongs was also written by Mr. Brooks, who served as grand district secretary for twelve years. Mr. Brooks wrote the history of the Cherry Memorial Baptist church in this city, of which William A. Creditt, LL. D., is pastor, on the occasion of its hundredth anniversary in 1900. He is president of the board of trustees of the above named church, secretary of the Cherry Building and Loan association, manager of the Reliable Mutual Aid association, expert accountant for the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial school and solicitor for the foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention. Mr. Brooks does a thriving real estate and legal business and has been successful in handling many difficult matters along the lines indicated. He has a group of capable assistants in his office, which accounts largely for his being able to handle so wide a variety of important matters with satisfaction to his numerous clients. PRESS ASSOCIATION NOTES. Activities of Members of the Organization—Two New Publications. George W. Harris has begun the publication of the New York News at 178 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, New York city. The News made its appearance the third week in September. It is an eight page paper, newsy and well got up. E. W. Vaughn is publishing the Jersey Standard at 201 Belleville avenue, Newark, N. J. The National Negro Press association bids these gentlemen bon voyage. William H. Craghead, editor of the Harrisburg (Pn.) Advocate-Verdict, was a candidate for coroner of Dauphin county at the recent primary elections held in Harrisburg. If the colored voters had been a little more closely united he would have won. Mr. Craghead is the recording secretary of our press association. James H. Anderson, managing editor of the Amsterdam News in New York, is a candidate for assemblyman in one of the assembly districts in Harlem, New York city. It is said that he has excellent chances of being elected, as the voters in his district are quite favormly impressed with his political views and his ability as a business man. New Business Enterprise in Texas. The Oleander drug store, representing an investment of $5,000, has been opened at Galveston, Tex. The new enterprise is located in a finely appointed brick building at the corner of Twenty-fifth street and postoffice. The upper floors, containing twenty-nine rooms, have been fitted up by William Lane as a hotel for colored patrons. The drug store is conducted by Dr. J. D. Davis, assisted by Dr. George W. Lemon. UNREST IN RANKS OF ODD FELLOWS Failure to Elect Chief Officials at Last Biennial Meeting Held In Atlanta May Embarrass Friends of Grand Master Edward H. Morris, Who Favor His Re-election. Boston.—The next meeting of the biennial movable committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be held in this city in September, 1914. The meeting will be a notable one because of an effort on the part HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. of some of the members of the order to get control of the affairs of the fraternity. Edward H. Morris of Chicago, the present grand master, is being groomed by his friends for re-election, it is said. He has already received the indorsement of several district grand lodges. Mr. Morris has served seven years as grand master, but there was an intervening period during his occupancy of the position. As the last session of the biennial movable committee, held in Atlanta, failed to elect his successor, therefore he and the officers elected at Baltimore three years ago are still holding on. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the present deputy grand master of the order, is also being strongly backed for the position. He has the backing of his jurisdiction—Georgia—and has received assurances of support from various sections of the country. At the last session of the biennial movable committee Mr. Johnson would have probably been elected grand master of the order if he had not declined on account of his having been committed to the candidacy of Benjamin J. Davis. The latter has declared that he will not enter the fight next year, but will devote all of his energies to the continued upbuilding of the order. Mr. Johnson is the present recorder of deeds at Washington. He is a graduate of Atlanta university and the University of Michigan law school. He has been prominent in the affairs of the order for years. His friends say that his election will make for the conciliation of the various factions in the order. There are many candidates in the field for the other prominent offices in the order. Benjamin Nelson of Harrisburg, Pa., is being talked of to enter the race against James H. Needham of Philadelphia, who has been secretary for many years. Julius C. Johnson of Baltimore will have opposition for reelection as grand treasurer, and should there be a new subcommittee of management selected Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore may lose out as attorney general of the order. The biggest fight will take place over the question of the abolition. Grand Master Morris is said to have been one of the most enthusiastic champions of its creation, but he and his followers in the order are now regarded as opposed to its continued existence. One of the anomalies of the situation is that those who will most likely be rival candidates at the coming session were formerly working in unison when it came to matters affecting the order. The Atlanta Independent declares that "Johnson's election means freedom of speech and freedom of action among all the members of the order." The friends of Grand Master Morris claim that he is the ideal candidate and that the fact that he has served a previous term of four years and that also he will have been in office another four years when the clans meet again next September does not legally bar him from reelection, as the law provides that no officer save the grand secretary shall be elected for more than two successive terms, and this does not apply to Morris since no election has been held. Energy of Brooklyn 'Mothers' Club The Brooklyn (N. Y.) Mothers' club will celebrate the third anniversary of its founding Oct. 30 by giving an exhibition of the home work of its members, such as plain and fancy sewing, embroidery, cooking and preserving fruits of various kinds. IMPORTANT CONFERENCE OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH WORKERS Session Held in Lawrenceville Requests Bishops For Afro-Americans. At the recent session of the conference of church workers among colored people, held at the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school, Lawrenceville, Va., a memorial was adopted, asking that colored bishops be selected by the Protestant Episcopal church for missionary work in districts where large numbers of colored people are to be served. The general convention of the Episcopal church meets in New York in October, and it is to this body that the memorial is to be presented for consideration. Rev. Dr. H. B. Delaney, president of the workers' conference, and Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg, secretary and author of the memorial, were chosen as delegates to lay the wishes of their organization before the general convention and to press the selection of colored bishops for missionary service among Afro-Americans. The next session of this important conference of church workers is to be held in September, 1914, at St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church, New York city. The recent meeting held in Lawrenceville, Va., was one of much interest and from which many good results are expected. MISSION WORK IN AFRICA. Views of a Former Missionary on Uplift of the Natives. That Africa offers a most inviting field for the African Methodist Episcopal church to do a still greater missionary and educational work in West and South Africa is the opinion of the Rev Dr L. C. Curtis, pastor of Trinity A. M. E. church, Baltimore. Dr. Curtis served in West Africa, as a missionary for his denomination a number of years, and accomplished an excellent work there. Schools and mission stations are the result of his labors. "I labored in West Africa," says Dr. Curtis, "a number of years, and I believe that the work there has a bright future. I would be glad for our people here to give more of their means for the upbuilding of the African work, for the natives there are hungering for Christianity and education." Dr. Curtis was a candidate for bishop for the West African work at the last two general conferences of his denomination and is being urged to enter the race at, the general conference which will be held in Philadelphia in 1916.

Purpose of the Most Recently Formed Society in New York The Loyal Sons of Africa is the name of a society recently organized in New York whose object is to bring into closer union and touch-with one another the colored races throughout the world.

KEEN INTEREST IN EXPOSITION MANAGERS ARE ENCOURAGED Arrangements For Great Ten Days' Festival in New York Showing Progress of the Race During Half Century of Freedom Complete—Special Features.and Some New Facts. New York.-With the coming of cool weather and the return to the city of the large number of folk who spend their summer in vacation in the country a new impetus has been given to the work of the emacipation commission. On every hand the people, both white and colored, are manifesting the keenest interest in the progress of the exposition. The New York Sun and other metropolitan papers have devoted much space to the plans of the exposition, and the meeting held at the Union Baptist church recently was a most encouraging demonstration of the enthusiastic determination of the colored people to make the October celebration an unqualified success. Rev. George H. Sims, the popular and efficient pastor of Union church, who is also a worthy and capable member of the commission, presided at the meeting. The principal speakers were Chairman Robert N. Wood, Captain William H. Jackson, director of exhibits, and Mr. Granville Martin. An audience of 500 applauded their remarks, and a general discussion followed. From the northern nad western sections of the state come reports of the active interest and co-operation of the people, and every augury points to a magnificent result of the efforts of the commission, despite the shortness of the time it has had at its disposal. Mr. John B Clayton of Brooklyn is also a member of the commission and has been a consistent worker for the success of the celebration from the start. He is well known in business and religious circles and has long wielded an influence for good in movements for racial uplift and integrity. The pageant portraying the twelve principal epochs in the history of the Negro is eliciting the liveliest attention and promises to prove a great educational influence for those who will take part in it as well as for those who will view this brilliant historical living picture. Among colored people as among white, there is a very great lack of information regarding the part that the Negro has played in the civilization of which he is a part. In these days of the unprecedented development of the mechanic arts, who stops to think that the primitive African discovered the use of iron and that today. In the heart of the so called dark continent, implements are made from this metal rivailing in workmanship and finish the finest products of the skill and ingenuity of the European artisan. In religion, too, the Negro has exerted a powerful influence, for it was a black man who first proclaimed from the summit of a mosque the hour of prayer in the faith which was founded by the prophet Mohamed. The Mohamedan religion now numbers hardly fewer adherents than the Christian faith, and in Africa itself the former is especially strong. The name of the Negro associate of the Arabian prophet is a byword for reverence and respect in all oriental lands, and it ought to be known in the colored man's country of adoption. The pageant is only one feature of the exposition. All the others will show the same care and painstaking effort on the part of all those who are interested in the progress and welfare of the colored race. Increasing demands are coming for space to exhibit the products of the hand and brain of the colored man. The exhibits will be displayed during the whole ten days of the exposition. Special features, such as the pageant, the congresses on religion and civics, the concerts, etc., will be repeated at frequent intervals. The commission is always ready to receive suggestions and to give information regarding the scope of the work to any one who communicates with the emancipation proclamation commission. 2217 Seventh avenue, New York city.

(St. Paul Pioneer Press, Aug. 31, 1913) "Many races and classes have been oppressed and persecuted in the history of civilization. To gain their rights and to obtain justice, many of these races have resorted to the torch and the dagger. We, the Negroes of America, feel that we are not obtaining our rights and are being unjustly discriminated against, but we have a new way by which we know that our conditions will be bettered. We will not try violence, but prayer." This is the statement made yesterday by W. T. Francis, a lawyer, prominent among St. Paul Negroes. According to Mr. Francis, unjust legislation is being passed continually against the rights of the colored race. Leaders of the movement say it is to combat this injustice that the Negroes all over the country are setting aside the third Sunday in October for prayer. "Give us a manifestation from heaven that this oppression will cease," is their plea. Will Be Country-wide Movement. Churches in nearly every state in the country are setting aside the day. Word has been received from Baltimore that the Ministers' Alliance of African Churches of Maryland, which holds its convention this week, also will consider the matter favorably.

In most every section of the country there are men and women who are doing effective work along all lines of racial uplift who are little known outside of their immediate community. The Rev. Joseph P. Long, president of the Long Normal and industrial school, in Aberdeen. Fl., is one of this army of promoters of advancement among the masses in his state. Like other pioneers of the people's hopes and anxieties, the Rev. Mr. Long has passed through many trying ordeals in the prosecution of his work. He is thrifty and economical and has increased the school's acreage from 40 acres, with which it staked twelve years ago, to 320. Over 100 acres are under cultivation this year. The soil is rich and adapted to all kinds of products usually grown by those who follow extensive farming in the south. An effort is now being made to increase the facilities of the school to meet the growing demand for a college department. To this end President Long is making a strenuous financial campaign for funds with which to make this addition to the institution. The Rev. Mr. Long spent the greater part of August in the north in the interest of the work. In September he visited friends in Pennsylvania, principally in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The fall term of the school has already begun, with a good attendance. The most unfortunate setback which the founder of this institution has had JOSEPH P. LONG. occurred on the night of March 21, 1913, when he was attacked by a mob of white men on the grounds of the school. Several shots were exchanged between Mr. Long and the mob, resulting in the death of one of the members of the mob and the serious wounding of four others. President Long was also seriously wounded in the head and left shoulder. He was arrested, charged with homicide, but was acquitted by the grand jury of Jackson county after serving twenty-seven days in the county jail. The trouble arose apparently over the refusal of Mr. Long to sell to a party of white men certain valuable land on his place. As he would not sell the land the only way otherwise open to the would be purchasers war to get rid of the owner and take possession of the much coveted timber. The Rev. Mr. Long has nearly recovered, but will feel the effects of the severe shock for a long time. National Semicentennial Association. The National Negro Semicentennial association, with headquarters in Chicago, has been incorporated under the laws of Illinois for the purpose of holding a national celebration and expoitation of race progress in Chicago during the months of August and September. 1914. The incorporators are Beauregard B. Moseley, Julius F. Taylor and Walter M. Farmer. Washington on ignoring Politics. Because Dr. Booker T. Washington advised against political influence in the work of the Bordentown (N. J.) industrial school some of the northern daily papers are interpreting the great educator's meaning to their own liking, and for the very object, doubtless, against which Dr. Washington advised. The Bordentown school is a state institution for the education of colored youths. So far as Afro-Americans are concerned the remarks of Dr. Washington were not intended to mean that they, the voting class, should forego any political, civil or personal right as citizens in order to obtain an education. The voteless citizen is a badly handicapped person and lives in violation of the federal constitution whether hindered by unfair laws operated against him by those in authority through prejudice or of his own volition. DO IT NOW. Lose this day lottering, 'twil be the same story Tomorrow, and the next more dilatory; For indecision brings its own delays. And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! What you can do or think you can, begin it; Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! Only engage, and then the mind grows heated; Begin it, and the work will be completed. —Goethe TWIN CITY STAR Advertisement.

Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 28, 1913. Atty. W. H. H. Franklin, Buffalo, N.Y. Minneapolis, Minn., examined the Constitution and by-laws of our proposed Civic League, and have found them in keeping with high ideals of morals. I am not sure how much can be carried out, it will mark an era of progress, in a social direction, where men of good morals can meet for intellectual discussion and amusement. My idea of the Constitution that the League so organized, will be a bona fide membership, that will have full tenure will be in accordance with similar organizations of a high class, among the best citizens and if so maintained. I would assume why I could not become a member. Minneapolis, Minn., August 6, 1913.

REFRESHMENTS 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.

"We the Negro citizens of Minnesota assembled at the Emancipation Celebration held at St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 30, 1913, under the auspices of the Appeal, do hereby co-operate with the Negroes of the entire country and do earnestly protest against the unnecessary discrimination and unjust segregation in the departments of this government at Washington, D. C.; And be it also resolved that—We fearlessly protest against all proposed legislation and existing laws effecting the civil rights of the Negroes in this and other countries and we invoke the aid of the administration at Washington in our behalf. And be it further resolved, that We, especially commend the efforts of our Sen. Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota for his "Resolutions of Inquiry" in the Senate; investigating the discrimination in the departments at the Nation's Capitol, and we sincerely thank him for his promises of continued support, and all friends who are trying to secure our rights as citizens. Signed—Atty. W. R. Morris, Chm.; Chas. Sumner Smith (Twin City Star) Sec'y.; John Q. Adams (The Appeal), Mrs. J. R. White, Mrs. Valdo Turner, Atty. W. T. Francis, Atty. J. Louis Ervis, Mr. W. F. T. Chandler, Rege. W. Camp. During the exercises a telegram from Dr. A. J. Carey of Chicago was read, asking that a protest be made against race discrimination and segregation. This committee was appointed to present resolutions of protest. ONWARD AND UPWARD. In the busy every-day life that confronts us, we find that we must keep moving with the masses, rushed on with the ceaseless flow, the numerous multitudes, into the endless ocean of time. We cannot find an excuse reasonable enough, with enough prevailing strength or tactful managing to relinquish us from the throng. We much go on on on till our race is run, our course is finished and our end is reached. This then being true, why lag? Why pull back or merely content ourselves to just drift with the tide? A life of ease and luxury is often envied in the neighbor, who though having the privilege of choice, chooses the way of pleasure and forgetfulness, rather than that of duty and right.

Mayor Nye has promised to investigate Conditions of Negro Clubs. Mayor Nye will investigate the conditions of the Clubs in our city, especially the Twin City Stag Club, 244 4th Ave. S. This matter was brought to his attention last Thursday in a personal interview. Mr. Nye has not known the truth about this Club, as he has been led to believe by several supposed leading Negroes (?) that Mr. Stewart conducted a respectable place. Mayor Nye is well known by nearly Negro in this city, and has attempted to give them liberal and regulated privileges with proper regard for moral advancement. It is a fact that Negroes of good standing have attempted to secure police protection for Stewart's place, where gambling is allowed. Although a club, this place is luxuriously furnished with rooms (supposedly for men only) and a restaurant for ladies and gentlemen. The Negroes of this city are entitled to every protection granted the white citizens, and if gambling is permitted, it should not be in a public place. If Mr. Stewart wants to run a gambling house, he should do it in a place frequented by that element, but he is attempting to merge the classes under one roof, a condition which is intolerable. Many have said that "Those who do not wish to go there, may stay away." Is that the consideration given to the white element? We realize that we have a floating population of Negroes who are respectable; they would not be informed of the nature of this place, and would be forced in direct contact with vice. We believe that Mr. Nye will regulate these conditions. Every Club should stand on its merits and not on a pretext. If it is a joint, it will be known as such, being a warning to those who do not frequent such places, but when a Stag Club is permitted to run with women and gambling, as the finest and best place for all Negroes only (Chinamen allowed) then it is time for the Negroes to ask for better regulated conditions by the police authorities, and if they do not grant them, the matter will be brought before the Grand Jury. We are confident that Mr. Nye will act for the best interest of all the citizens in this matter, as he has been misinformed by leading Negroes, without a spark of manhood, notwithstanding their position in the community, as worthy and honorable citizens, but probably because they have their financial interest to protect. THE DIGNITY OF LABOR. The Negro, who is ashamed to labor with pick and shovel is generally indentified with the loafing and criminal class—the destructive element of the race. The word Negro should always be spelled with a Capital N.—It is worthy of this distinction Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Colored People are being organised in the Twin Cities. The Twin City Star has the exclusive use in this city of the Afro-American news service of the American Press Assn., edited by Mr. N. B. Dodson of N. Y., which is a feature of our publication, much appreciated by our readers. Your subscription to a Negro newspaper is a business proposition. Do not accept it from the postman, unless you intend to pay for it. Do not wonder, why it is sent you. If you refuse it the publisher gets a notice from the Postmaster to discontinue, which is a matter of record, and the publisher pays the return postage. Many say that they "Never subscribed" "ordered it stopped," or "wondered who sent it." We send THE TWIN CITY STAR to those whom we think bona fide subscribers, and do not wish to increase circulation by carrying any dead-heads. We cannot publish "notes about persons" signed only by "subscriber." --- TWIN CITY STAR EFFORT TO SAVE OLD LANDMARK Home of Frederick Douglass Under Heavy Mortgage. URGENT APPEAL FOR FUNDS Mansion Which Once Sheltered the Illustrious Champion of Freedom For His People Neglected and Decayed Quick Action Needed to Keep the Property From Being Sold. Washington. -Fifty years after our freedom and thirteen years after the death of the man who more than any single person contributed by his agitation to our deliverance from bondage the old home of the late illustrious Frederick Douglass rests under a heavy mortgage. The old mansion, with its furniture, books, papers, art treasures and curios which were gathered by him, is fast going to decay, and the fifteen acres of ground surrounding and belonging to the home are but a tangled mesh of weeds and rank growth of vines. Located at the top of Cedar hill, overlooking the beautiful Potomac river and the city of Washington, this home is one of the picturesque spots in the District of Columbia. The home was bequeathed to the race to be held and preserved, with its contents and its land, as a memorial to that gigantic figure who braved the mobs before the war declaring that his race should and must be freed. To those who were wont to make a pilgrimage out to Cedar hill and converse with Mr. Douglass when living and who knew of the natural and man made beauty of the old estate its present decay, its almost total abandonment to neglect, is pathetic. It suggests the question, "Has the race reverence for those who labored and suffered in order that we might be free?" If the property were put up at sale today it would bring a big sum, for Washington has grown up to and around the Douglass home, and the street cars in twenty minutes will take one from the home to the White House or to the national capitol. Unless the heavy mortgage under which the home rests is lifted soon the property, the books, papers, furniture and art treasurers which were once the pride of Mr. Douglass and which took a lifetime to gather may pass into the hands of another race. It would be a lasting disgrace were this race of 10,000,000 belongs fifty years after the achieving of their liberty, which boasts of $700,000,000 wealth, to permit this home to pass from it, and the spot which ought to be forever preserved as a mecca and a shrine to which the Negroes of the country might go and honor the memory of its once great owner be desecrated by the impious hand of Mammon. An effort is now being put forth to raise sufficient money to pay off the mortgage and to put the home and grounds in repair and make them a monument to the name and fame of Mr. Douglass and a place of reverence, the same as the home of George Washington at Mount Vernon is preserved by the white people of this country. It is figured out that if every Negro but contributed 10 cents a fund would be raised sufficient to pay off the mortgage, restore the house to its former beauty, endow the grounds with a wealth of beauty and make of it a fitting memorial to the late Frederick Douglass. The property now belongs to our people. It will not be theirs long, however, if the mortgage is not soon lifted. The trustees of the home are A. H. Grimke, Rev. F, J. Grimke, Dr. J. E. Moorland and Whitfield McKinlay of Washington, Professor W. H. Grogman of Atlanta, Ga., and Rev. E. A. Clark of Louisville, Ky. Ralph W. Tyler of Washington, former auditor for the navy and now national organizer for the National Negro Business league, has been placed in charge of a campaign to raise money to pay off the mortgage. To save his home to the race to whom it was bequeathed as a legacy is the effort being made. For 10,000,000 of people to permit this old home to pass into the hands of the impious would be a lasting disgrace. Those Negroes who possess race pride, a reverence and respect for the memory and labors of Mr. Douglas and wish to contribute to the fund being raised to save it may communicate with Mr. Tyler at 928 T street. N. W. Washington Every child as well as every adult ought to feel it his duty to help save the old home of Frederick Douglas, which was bequeathed to the race he served for a lifetime. A Douglas memorial certificate will be sent to each contributor. Always is it faith in someone or something that inspires us to lift our work above the commonplace.

IMPARTIAL TRIAL FOR FRED BROWN Lawyer G. Edward Dickerson Scores Legal Point. ACCUSED MAN NOT INDICTED Requisition Proceedings In Unusual Case of Alleged Fugitive From Justice Held Up on Constitutional Grounds—Counsel For Defendant Balke Attempt to Pervert Justice. Philadelphia.—The case of Frederick Brown, charged with the murder of one J. F. Durst, a white man, in Johnson, S. C., seven years ago and who immediately fled to this city, comes up for trial in this city in October on extradition proceedings. Remembering that the Hon. Cole L. Blense, the governor of South Carolina, had publicly stated that he would lead a mob to lynch a Negro, G. Edward Dickerson, Esq., sent a telegram to Governor Tener of Pennsylvania to grant no requisition for the return of Brown without giving his friends an opportunity to be heard, for the reason that they feared he would be lynched. At a hearing last April before Deputy Attorney General Hargest on behalf of the governor and Mr. Dickerson, Dr. N. F. Mossell, Dr. William A. Sinclair, Dr. William M. Slowe and Charles H. Brooks appeared and presented strong reasons why the defendant should not be returned. The state of South Carolina was represented by the assistant attorney general, who came on to insure Brown's return. The latter was forced to admit that the governor of South Carolina would not grant any protection to the defendant if he were returned. Notwithstanding that it was conclusively shown that the accused could not obtain a fair and impartial trial and that in all probabilities he would be lynched, the governor of Pennsylvania granted the requisition without demanding a promise of protection as a condition of his granting the same. Before the man could be taken away Lawyer Dickerson had gone by night to Judge Robert N. Wilson and applied for a writ of habeas corpus to test the proceedings. The same was duly granted and a day for a hearing fixed. The case was heard by Judge Ferguson, who, while he refused to discharge Brown, gave ten days for the attorney to perfect an appeal. Mr. Dickerson then applied to Judge Orlady of the superior court for a superseeds and stay of proceedings pending the appeal. When the judge heard the full particulars of the case he exclaimed. "This is an extraordinary case and requires an extraordinary remedy!" He referred Mr. Dickerson to the full court, which meets in Pittsburgh. Thither hastened Mr. Dickerson with his petition for a superseeds, for unless the stay were granted the man would be taken immediately back to South Carolina before the appeal was heard. After considering the case for two days the superior court decided not to reverse a former ruling, to wit, not to go behind the return of the governor. Not daunted, Lawyer Dickerson hastened back to Philadelphia and made an application to Judge J. Whitaker Thompson of the United States district court for a writ of habeas corpus on the grounds that it was against the constitution of the United States to return a man to be lynched. The story of oppression and injustice was told again with telling effect. The judge said, "I may not agree with your version of the law, but every man is entitled to be heard, and I will grant the writ." Mr. Dickerson was given one hour to prepare his petition and return. When the hour was up the petition had been prepared and signed, and "Judge Lynch" had again been defeated. At the hearing in the United States court the assistant attorney general from South Carolina was there to argue the case and brought his detectives with him to take Brown back. Brown told a pathetic story of having shot in self defense and how he had gone thirty-five miles during the night on foot to prevent being lynched. The judge said that he preferred the higher court to pass on the question, and in refusing to discharge Brown granted an appeal and stay of proceedings pending said appeal. This appeal will be argued in October, and Brown will be kept in prison in the meantime. Two constitutional questions are involved as the case now stands. The first, whether a man can be returned on a charge of murder which is seven years old without being first indicted; the second, whether he cannot demand a guarantee of a fair and impartial trial and protection against lynch law, or not go back at all. Finally, if the appeal is lost the case may be taken to the supreme court of the United States, and losing there, then the case may be transferred to the United States district court of the South Carolina district and tried on its merit. At such trial the grandfather's clause to the South Carolina constitution can be attacked on the grounds that the jury is drawn from the voting list, and the voting list is not based upon manhood suffrage, but is hereditary and unconstitutional. Thus it is hoped to uproot the whole disfranchisement system of the south. GOLDEN GRAIN BELT BEERS Sign Beer Experts Say In Belt is the nearest like the imported, of any in se.
