MINNEAPOLIS MINN HISTORICAL SOCIETY DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL Defective Page How the Pastor of Loyal Street Baptist Church in Danville Rose to Prominence Through Own Efforts. Honored by His Alma Mater For Worthy Achievements. Danville, Va.—One of the most energetic and busy men of this section of Virginia is the Rev. Alexander A. Galvin, D. D., of this city. He is president of the Baptist state convention and the highly esteemed and successful pastor of the Loyal Street Baptist church here, where he has thoroughly demonstrated his ability as a safe Christian leader. DR. ALEXANDER A. GALVIN. The simple but strictly Christian life of his parents served to kindle the fire of hope in young Galvin at a very early age. So in accordance with their best wishes and with his own desire to see the light he was sent to the public school. It is not to be supposed that the schools at that time gave very great advantages, for they do not now afford all the facilities they should. Yet Alexander struggled on, making the best of what was at hand. He had no knowledge of the fact that it had already entered the hearts of some of the people of his own race to foster a school at which he should be permitted to drink deep drafts from the "Florian spring" of knowledge or even in after years become the chief exponent of the ideals which were set before him. After making a profession of religion and being united with the church he felt called of God to the work of the gospel ministry. He entered the Virginia Theological seminary and college at Lynchburg, Va. From this institution he graduated in 1897 with high honors. The year 1897 was a great year for Rev. Mr. Galvin, for in it he not only took to himself a real helmmeet, but was also called to the pastorate of the Ebenezer Baptist church of Staunton, Va. For almost five years he served the Ebenezer church. It was while there that he in an unassuming way won for himself the rare distinction of not only being one of the best servomembers of our race, but also one among the very best and most careful pastors to be found anywhere. From this place he was called to the pastorate of the Loyal St. Baptist church, Danville, Va. His scholarly attainments, work and Christian character soon attracted the attention of the officers and teachers of his alma mater, and they gladly conferred upon him the degree of doctor of divinity. He came to his present pastorate when the church was at low ebb, both as to spirituality and finance. Great debts bung over the church, which discouraged the members and caused the spiritual fire to burn low. But a few months served to show that a master heliasman was at the wheel. The spiritual tide began steadily to rise and continues so to this very day. Along with this was the increase in finance. Thus the heavy obligations have been promptly met, and new life and vigor have entered into every department of the church work. Thus for eleven years he has gone forth from victory unto victory, and today the Loyal St. Baptist church is one among the best in the land. Under his direction the church has long since purchased and paid for a parsonage on Main street. The interior of the church has been renovated and With regard to the general character of Dr. Galvin, it can be truthfully said that he is always cool, quiet, unassuming, devout, yet strong, deep and powerful. These characteristics, more than any others, led the brethren of the state to choose him to act as president of the Virginia Baptist State convention during the incapacity of the late lamented Dr. R. H. Bowling. So that now Rev. Dr. Galvin is leader of the Baptist host in the state of Virginia, and a splendid leader he is. All the churches might as well get ready to roll up more money at the next convention than they have heretofore, for Dr. Galvin is an undiring worker. SPIRIT OF UPLIFT NOTED AS TRAINING SCHOOL OPENS. President Shepard Impresses Aim of Institution Upon All Hearts. Durham, N. C.-When Avery auditorium threw open its doors and the large assemblage of teachers and students joined in singing that song of inspiration and courage. "Onward, Christian Soldiers!" at the recent opening of the fourth session of the National Religious Training school here a thrill of joy pervaded every heart. After the Bible lesson and a short prayer service President James E. Shepard, extended cordial greetings to the new students and teachers and welcomed the return of the old ones. Dr. Shepard said: "There is a true saying that, when a person becomes discouraged, if he will stoop down and help some one then the gloom, dependencies and discouragements will be lost sight of, and in the effort to put hope in the heart of one both will be saved. This school was founded primarily to reach the souls of men and develop the highest system of education, sending each person out thus trained to reach and train others." This year, besides the regular routine, the work of the school will embrace a systematic study of economic conditions of our people in and around Durham that the home church and community life may be improved and the spirit of uplift, clean living and efficiency instilled in the minds of the people. President Shepard believes that true religion means thoroughness in doing the things our hands find to do, and the spirit of this beautiful sentiment is expressed in the everyday life of student and teacher, whether in school or workroom. Little wonder, then, that this school enjoys such an influence for good in the several states and communities it reaches through its students and trained workers. This school year, 1913-14, the institution enjoys its largest opening in attendance, and the number of applications filed indicates that it will be the largest year in the history of the school. Farmers to Meet at Hampton Nov. 19. The annual conference of farmers will be held at the Hampton (Va.) institute for two days beginning Wednesday. Nov. 19. Exhibitors are requested to send a list of their wares to the agricultural department of the institution as soon as possible in order that space may be reserved for their exhibits. 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. Subscribers are earnestly requested to report to the office any irregularities in the delivery of their paper; also any change of address. Former Secretary of State of Liberia Was a Pétent Factor. In Our Racial Life—Man of Wonderful Intellect Whose Moral Courage Was Sublime Under the Most Trying Ordeals. By JOHN E. BRUCE. At this time, when the colored race in America is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation which legally freed the race from the curse of human slavery as goods and chattels, it is quite in keeping with the spirit of the times to give to the American people the record of colored men and women who have achieved success. Although not a native American, Edward Wilmot Blyden was intimately associated with the struggles and aspirations of the colored race in America and other parts of the world during his whole life. Born in the Danish island of St. Thomas seventy-nine years ago, the late Edward Wilmot Blyden came to the United States when seventeen years of age to seek an education, but finding prejudice against his race, he turned his face toward Liberia, where, after a few months' residence, he entered the high school under the care of Rev. David Wilson. He soon rose to the headship of this school and in 1862 was elected to a professorship in the newly founded Liberian college. In 1864 he was appointed secretary of state by the president of Liberia, and for two years he combined the duties of both officers. In 1860 he made a journey to the east, visiting Egypt and Syria chiefly with a view to studying Arabic. In 1871 he resigned his professorship, and after a brief visit to Europe he spent two years in Sierra Leone, during which time he was sent by the governor of the colony, Sir John Pope Hennessy, on two diplomatic missions to the powerful chiefs of the interior. His report on one of these expeditions is published at length in the proceedings of the Royal Geographical society. In 1877 he was made minister plenipotentiary of the republic of Liberia at the court of St. James and was received by Queen Victoria at Osborne July 30, 1878, being introduced by the Marquis of Salsbury, then secretary of state for foreign affairs. He was soon after elected an honorary member of the famous Athenaeum club of London. In 1880 he was elected fellow of the American Philological association. In 1882 he was made a corresponding member of the Society of Sciences and Letters of Bengal. He knew personally Lord Brougham, W.E. Gladstone, Dean Stanley, Charles Dickens and Charles Sumner, Frederick Douglass and Frederic Harrison. When the question of the delimitation of the Liberian boundary was raised by France some eight or nine years ago he was appointed by the government of Liberia as ambassador to France to negotiate with the French government in the settlement of that question and was received by the president of France July 4, 1905, in his office as ambassador of the black republic. In 1911 he was elected a corresponding member of the Negro Society For Historical Research, Yonkers, N. Y., in recognition of which he sent a collection of his published works, "Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race." "Africa Before Europe," "Liberia's Offering" and pamphlets on kindred subjects. At the time of his death he was an associate editor of the African Mall, published at Liverpool. Some years ago Dr. J. E. Henderson in an article in the Colored American at Washington said: "Dr. Blydon is a man without a country. He allies himself neither with the Negro of Africa nor the Afro-American." Commenting on this brilliant outburst in a letter to the writer, he said: "Now, this is absurd. It is not what a man allies himself with, but what he really is, that counts. Dr. Henderson allies himself with the Negro race, but only because he is not allowed to ally himself with the white race. But his alliance with the Negro race does not make him a Negro. "On the other hand, Dr. Blyden's country is Africa by race and heritage, whatever he pleases to ally himself with. Nobody who has ever seen him will think that he can pass for Indian or European. As soon as he is seen he is known at once as an African-identified on sight. It would require only the microscopic insight of the south to identify Dr. Henderson at sight." Writing from Paris under date of Aug. 19, 1905, he, among other things, wrote: "But why should the cause of the Negro be discredited in America? What has he done to deserve such treatment? What has he not done to merit better? It is consolatory to know that all the greatest minds who have ever lived in America and now live there (I say the greatest minds) have given him and do give him the credit he deserves, but they are comparatively few. These few, however, know that the Negro was at the bottom of the civilization of the southern states. This is obvious at the first, the most superficial glance at his history there. Africa furnished the men without whom the vast industrial and agricultural work in the early days would have been impossible. "But the so called dark continent also furnished the women without whom the still more important work of producing the physically and intellectually strong men could not have been accomplished. The greatest statesmen whom the United States have produced were produced in the south, men who chiefly governed the country until the great civil war—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe and all that followed, including Jefferson Davis, John C. Calhoun and Robert E. Lee. These men all had black nurses, and to this day in the south the traditions of the aunties linger as among the most cherished memories of the aristocratic families. "But since the black auntie has disappeared from her post in the great families and has ceased to preside at the cradle and in the nursery of the south no such men have appeared as distinguished the history of that country before the late unpleasantness. The secret of this deficiency is known to the African. "In geography Africa has been called Arida Nutrix Leonum—the dry nurse of liona." "So in the early political history of the United States the same description is applicable to the gray haired mother of civilization." Lions in church and state were born out of her struggles and sufferings." In a letter just at hand from Dr. M.Jaol Aghbeli, written at Iboulain, in the interior of the west coast, he writes: "Dr. Blyder and myself had a touching conference on the steamship Akabo on Nov. 19 last. He spoke to me as a father to his son and communicated to me certain thoughts. He was then very poorly from aneurism and was taking a round trip for his health. He then remarked to me that he was living by the day, but before we parted he was brightening up, though all of his eyes has grown dim. He will be eighty years of age on Aug. 8 of this year." Edward Wilmot Blyden was a potent factor in our racial life. There can be no question that his death has left a vacancy which cannot be easily filled. He was a great man, a great scholar, a great Negro, and our African cousins will feel more keenly perhaps than we his loss. He had triple courage, which imparted to him immense strength. His physical bravery knew no fear, his moral heroism was sublime, but above all these was the courage of his great intellect. Educating Public Against Disease. Dr. Oscar Dowling of Shreveport, La., president of the Louisiana state board of health, has been traveling over the state in the "educational-hygiene exhibit train" recently in the special interest of the colored people, giving close attention to health conditions among them. By lectures and moving pictures Dr. Dowling and his assistants have been showing the public how to prevent tuberculosis, pneumonia and other diseases from declining their ranks. Schedule of College Football Games.

There is not anything new or strange in the reported intention of Internal Revenue Collector Blalock in Atlanta to deprive all colored men of political office holding under his administration. Things were different under the regime of his predecessor, the Hon. Henry S. Jackson.

SMOKE THE RELIABLE So SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR So Third Anniversary of the Pastorate of the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss Occasion For Special Effort to Increase Amount of Building Fund—Features of Work. Brooklyn.—The celebration of the third anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss of the Concord Baptist church in this city, Sunday, Oct. 19, was attended by great throngs of people from most all sections of Greater New York. Overflow services were held in the church in the morning, afternoon and evening. The pastor preached two eloquent and scholarly sermons besides delivering a most timely address to the Sunday school. As a forerunner of the main celebration the officials and members of the church decided several months ago to observe Sunday, Oct. 12, as financial rally day and subsequently opened sub ROBERT LEE WILLIAMS. scription books for pledges toward the building fund for the proposed new church edifice for which plans and specifications have already been drawn, submitted and accepted. The day's services were ushered in with a praise meeting in the morning, followed by a special sermon and the rally day exercises of the Sunday school in the afternoon. The climax of interest came at 7:30 in the evening when reports were heard on the result of the subscription campaign which amounted to $936. The grand total for the day from all sources was $1,155.43. Of this amount the Sunday school contributed $0.18 and the board of ushers $50. There were several large gifts by individual members and friends. Dr. Moss' labors during the year have covered many interests in and out of his own field. He has made hundreds of visits, delivered many special sermons and addresses. With the co-operation of the members and officials he has shown both the need and possibilities of having a larger meeting house to accommodate the rapidly increasing membership in both church and Sunday school. The board of trustees, nine in number, is composed of men of excellent judgment in the management of church affairs, some of whom have served on the board for nearly thirty years. Lewis H. Berry, chairman of the board, is one of the best known men in the membership. He is a fine specimen of true Christian manhood and a church financier of long years of experience. He is a liberal contributor and exerts a wholesome influence in all departments of the church. His activities cover a period of over thirty years. Graham H. Carter, secretary of the board, has held that position for more than twenty-five years. It is largely due to his accuracy that the church has enjoyed a continuous reign of peace in relation to its finances. Thomas P. Moseley, treasurer of the church, knows more about the banking business than the average person generally found holding such a responsible position in churches or secular organizations. He renders monthly reports of receipts and disbursements to the church at its regular meeting for business. Mr. Robert Lee Williams, collector of church dues, has served in that capacity for nearly a score of years. He is faithful to the task assigned to him and is never absent when it is possible for him to be present. He taught the men's class in the Sunday school up to two years ago, serving in all about eighteen years. He is a native of Farmville, Va., but has resided north for over twenty-five years. He came here from Binghamton, N. Y. The other members of the board are also men of ripe business experience. They are Charles J. Crowder, Matthew B. Russell, Alfred R. Nash, Charles H. Vaun and Edward L. Faulcon. Each member of the board keeps a personal account of all moneys received and knows of all disbursements. George F. King Makes Northern Tour George F. King, the well known newspaper correspondent of Wilson, N. C., is making a brief trip north on business in connection with his work. While in New York he will attend the emancipation exposition, which opened auspiciously on Wednesday, Oct. 22. JEWS PROTEST INJUSTICE. Hold Indignation Meeting in Washington; Dr A. J. Carey Approves Action. A great mass meeting was held in Washington recently to protest against the action of the Russian government in prosecuting Mendel Bellis, a Jew of Kiev, charged with "ritual murder." Although it has many times been proved false, this ritual murder lie has persisted against the Jews for hundreds of years. Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. church, Chicago, sent the following telegram to the Washington mass meeting approving the protest and calling attention to the similarity of the treatment of the Jews in Russia and the colored Christians in the United States: Greeting. May your protest prove effective. May God aid you in disproving for all time the infamous "ritual murder" lie. Caucasian Christians in this country have treated colored Christians in about the same manner as Russian Christians have treated the Jews. Just now efforts are being made in some parts of the country to revive a form of the medieval emerged, and compel colored Americans to reside therein. Ghettos are also in active operation in some of the government departments in Washington. While you are protesting against the wrongs of your race in Europe kindly say a word against the oppression, persecution, disfranchisement and mob murders of colored Christians by Caucasian Christians in the United States. CAPABILITIES OF R. N. DETT. Music Department at Hampton Institute Gains Zeaous Young Songster. R. Nathaniel Dett of Drummondville, Canada, who is the author of two published suites, "In the Bottoms" and "Magnolias," both characteristic of the hopes and aspirations of colored Americans, is now teaching music at Hampton institute. Mr. Dett studied at the Oliver Willis Halsted Conservatory of Music in Lockport, N. Y., and took his degree at the Oberlin (O.) conservatory in piano and composition. "In the Bottoms" deals with the life of the many colored people living in the lowlands near the Mississippi river. The five pieces which compose it are "Nightfall in the Bottoms," the prelude; "His Song," which pictures an old colored man sitting over his work, humming a weird improvised strain; "Honey," characterized by coquettish, flirting music; "Barcarolle," a Mississippi boat song, and "Juba," a plantation dance. Mr. Dett is also the composer of short concert pieces, settings for Dunbar's poems and a concert waita called "Inspiration." He is also the author of a book of verse called "The Album of a Heart." FISK UNIVERSITY REOPENS WITH RECORD ENROLLMENT. Member of Original Company Takes Part in Jubilee Day Exercises. With an enrollment of 860 students for the first week of the new school year, Fisk university, Nashville, Tennessee is emphasizing the slogan, "No step backward." The music department, with 108 students, is the scene of great activity. Jubilee day, which always brings happy recollections of the exodus of the first group of the Fisk jubilee singers over forty years ago, was an auspicious occasion for the whole student body. The impression which this band of sweet singers made on the public back in those early years of the race's freedom was the first pathetic note of slave songs heard in freedom, and it reverberated around the world. These songsters delighted great audiences all over the United States. They also toured Europe, where they were heard by the chief rulers in that faroff continent. It was very fitting, therefore, that at the jubilee day exercises Mrs. Ella Sheppard Moore, the pianist of the original jubilee singers, who still resides in Nashville, should take part in the program. Mrs. Moore gave a most thrilling account of the experiences of the company of young emancipated colored artists who introduced to the world a new song of life giving hope and aspiration.

Clubs, Mrs. John Sellars, wis confined to her bed, therefore we did not consult her in this matter it being generally un- derstood, that the Federated Women were discussing the affair, fn-wiew of proper action. — It was soon evident that Ed. Stewart would be tolerated, because of ' their sympathy : for » his wife, who 1 one of the estimable women.and Old residents in this ‘city, although she ty now assisting Mr. Stewart in the- management of this STAG CLUB, and on account of her presence there, many of our sup posedly respectable ladies are fre- quent patrons, “Because of sympathy” says Mray Sellars, “I fear that. thé Clubs will not teke any action”.—-Now the Star knows—just how much moral- ity counts, in this Federation: We are not opening family closets,.but we mean that we know that there is a great deal of immorality, and believe that the majority of the women of these clubs, should not be members of this noble organization. We are sorry; while the other branches of ibis grand organization in “other cities, are doing social settlement and other work for humanity; that, we have among our organization so many who condone conditions, as are al- jowed in The Twin City Stag Club. The Editor of this publication will ght this proposition, probably with- put the Women's Club, and he will place the Afro-American Women’s Clubs of Minnesota on their record. it there are no women among them with moral courage to attempt to car- ‘y out the aims and objects of the Federation, they should be discon- rected from the National body. Then hey could organize the Bohemian Sisters of Sympathy and would serve hemselves as well.” There are many adies of the Federation as well as its president who are too reluctant to do ny good.. We do not say that there are none, who are above criticism, but many itve under a double standard it morals, and are always willing to snter a compact of silence, when the ‘tal issue confronts us. We appeal 9 Mrs. Sellars to present this matter or investigation and due considera- ton by the Federated Clubs. We have very respect for the Sympathy shown. Mrs. Stewart, but there is a nobler laty to be rendered posterity, greater han sympathy for any individual. t 1s the saving of Negro girls, who re forced in the innocent and cur- mms Misee Of thle Liven, fo come te ontact with vice, in tts temptations. Why? Because their mothers have. ayored Sympathy rather than Chas- isement. When a mother thinks of he life of a Negro girl “in the depths” it this city, it should be a lesson to: er to not only train her child to re-| pect home and parents, but should use her. to be willing to asalst the uppression of such temptations of- ered by the dives and buffetfiats, ermitted to run by the police am horities for the exclusive demoraliza- fon of the Negro, relegating him to he basest civilization. ‘We take that Mrs. Sellars is ready. 0 give consideration to other places n our city, because the Star directed ta attention to Stewarts’ place. There # not another Club-keeper in this ty who has mingled with the ex- remes of society as Mr. Stewart, and here is not another who would ex- ect. the patronage of the better ele- nent: We have probably exposed a octal condition when opposing te ‘whi City Stag Club, which ts run by iy.

WILL TURN OUT ALL NEGRO EM- PLOYEES. Atlanta, Ga, October 9—Negro employees in the internal revenue service are likely to lose their jobs under A. 0. Blalock, whom President ‘Wileon recently named as collector of internal revenue to succeed Henry 8, Jackson, Republican. During the Jackson regime quite a number of positions were given to Negroes and they, it 1s clatmed, drew thousands of dollars a year in wages. Jackson was named by Pres- {dent Taft, having been backed for the position by Henry Lincetn Johnson, Benjamin J. Davis and opposed to the continuance of Henry A. Rucker in the position. Blacock says that “there are no gov- ernment positions for Negroes in the South, A Negro’s place is in the corn- field. I do not mean that a Negro should not be educated and have his rights, but there are deserving white men.capable of holding the positions.” Most of the Negro employees are supposedly protected by the civil ser- vice regulations. ‘The word Nexro should always be spetied with a Capital N—It {s worthy of this distinction, WHAT CONSTITUTES A 8UB- SCRIBER? A court decision has lately been ‘rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who recelved the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took imme tate possession, and received and ac- cepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him throfigh the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no at tention was paid to them by Mr. Rob- inson. 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 quee- toned 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 critt- cism of people who are receiving pa pers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishon- esty, he sald one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he recelves—X.

"It does seem that *the acme of racial child's play has been reached," said a prominent delegate to a certain convention recently, "when a Negro, over twenty-one years of age, will refuse to work on a committee or have anything to do with an organization, no matter how much he may be in accord with its objects, merely because someone is connected with it whom he doesn't like personally. If we are ever going to be a people, we must cultivate catholicity of spirit, breadth of vision, and a gnerosity of judgment that inspires us to place the cause before the man and permits us to work with anyone who stands for this same thing we stand for. The matter of personal likes or dislikes should have no place in our minds, when the uplift is at stake. Many a leader is pitifully handicapped by having on his staff a set of fellows who are too little-headed to co-operate with one another for the welfare of the organization in whose interest he has called them together. Such fellows are not an asset to the organization or to the man they profess to follow—they are a liability, and their retention on his staff is apt to spell disaster in the long run. When a man in a position of responsibility finds himself embarrassed by the alleged friendship of these sycophants and time-servers, who cause him nothing but trouble, the sooner he unloads them the better it will be for him and for the movement he represents. That's the word with the bark on it." A hint to the wise ought to be sufficient—Indianapolis Freeman. Before the Club proposition is over, somebody is going to be Sulzerized. The Mayor's investigation was humiliating to the pride of all the Negroes who have any self-respect. If Ed. Stewart had not wanted to monopolize all classes, all concessions and privileges, there would not have been this agitation, but he wanted it, and got it. Can he do it? We urgently request that every Negro who condemn conditions write a letter of protest to the Mayor, or their Councilmen, or to any member of next Grand Jury. Any petition signed by any citizen sent to the County Attorney must be presented to the Grand Jury, and any communication to the Council addressed to the City Clerk will be read before that body. We are arranging a list of Negroes to present to the proper authorities, and in due time proper action will be taken, and Mr. Nye will gracefully accept even if it is a forced measure. THE DIGNITY OF LABOR. The Negro, who is ashamed to labor with pick and shovel is generally indicted with the loafing and criminal class MAYOR WALLACE G .NYE. 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. 8. 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 every 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 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. Star Editorial, Oct. 19, 1913. NO INVESTIGATION. There has been no investigation. Several white detectives visited Stewart's place, were shown upstairs, not the GAMBLING outfit, and, His Honor, has not acted, so far as we are informed. The Negro detectives say that they are willing to proceed to "Close Up" but THEY MUST WAIT FOR ORDERS, at the same time they see everything, gambling, drinking etc., and it is rumored (but we have no facts to prove), that MEN AND WOMEN OCCUPY ROOMS TOGETHER at the Twin City Stag Club. Mr. Nye will investigate. He will be forced to. There has been just enough publicity given to force him into action. The County Attorney, Mr. James Robinson (whom the Negroes elected) knows of this place, but wants EVIDENCE. If he does not get evidence, he will want votes, if he is a candidate. This whole affair is now a campaign issue. The powers think the immoral vote is a factor, but they are mistaken. The frequenters of joints tc., are mostly floaters, not voters. The best Negroes of this city are property owners and householders, and have at heart the advancement of the Negro along all lines, and The Star never Compromises. It always places a man on his record, and Mr. Nye is on his, and the Chief of Police is an appointee of his administration to enforce laws made for the community, and not special privileges granted to Negroes under Tammany procedure as a campaign measure. Twin City Star, Oct. 17, 1913. TWIN CITY STAR Goes on Tour in Searth of Gambling and Says He Found None. Mayor Wallace G. Nye told today of going avisiting last night. He went as an uninvited guests. Clubs conducted by colored men were the hosts. For some time reports have come to the mayor's office that there was gambling going on in these clubs. In fact, it was even said that "craps" were "shot" in some of them — that they were incorporated at clubs merely to evade the law. It was also said that liquors were sold after hours and on Sundays. The mayor said today that his tour failed to disclose any gambling. Not even a crap shooter was found in action, according to the mayor and the party accompanying him. Particular attention had been called to the Twin City Stag club at 234 Third avenue S. A dozen or more men were found there, he said, reading or playing innocent games of cards, but nothing unlawful was encountered.—Minneapolis Journal, Oct. 22, 1913. (Front page.) MR. NYE'S INVESTIGATION. The Twin City Stag Club is located at 246 4th Ave. So. The conditions of this place had been called to the Mayor's attention. The Mayor did go visiting, and the "tlp" preceded him. Every club owner was ready to receive His Honor, and it is probably true that he found nothing. Now the Mayor has made a report of his investigation (?) 1. e. his visits. Did he need to go in person? Can he personally enforce the laws? What are the duties of the Police Department? Why have the Negro detectives urged the action against Stewart's place? The facts are stated in the foregoing articles, but the Mayor has decided called the Editor of this publication a liar, through the Journal, a medium which stands for only Clean advertising, and they have Advertised Stewart's place as being a Y. M. C. A. also sanctioned the conditions in other clubs. It was also stated in another daily that the President of the Afro-American Federated Club would be asked to report on this matter. We are glad that the Mayor has INVESTIGATED, also that the newspapers have advertised the moral conditions of the clubs, because the best Negroes will resent this statement as a Lie, and it shows that the Star fought against "the powers that be" when he attacked Stewart's place. In an interview with Mayor Nye on Wednesday morning he endorsed the statement of the white press, and said that "he would not close Stewart's place without closing the others." The Star was not for closing all the clubs, and the Mayor should not be, but we will accept the Mayor's proposition. CLOSE ALL NEGRO CLUBS! We cannot see how the Federated Women can advocate the existence of Clubs where women are allowed. Of course, the Mayor makes this drastic announcement because of the "pull" of Stewart's friends. He has not had any Negro to protest against it, though many are condemning the place, and complimenting the crusader, but the white men are looking out for their financial interest and are giving Stewart all protection. There is nothing gained by the existence of clubs, and we would be glad if all were closed, but they are a necessary evil, and when regulated as to caste (and protect women who frequent them) they would do no great harm. Mr. Nye literally says "that all Negroes are allike" and he won't differentiate. We have conferred with Mr. Ed. Stewart, and Mr. Will M. Smith, night foreman in the post-office—the most interested person in club matters (Stewarts) so far as advice goes. They promised a public statement, promising to accept either the hotel or club proposition. After the Mayor put his O. K. on the management, they refused to issue any statement. The Star will continue the fight, and if all clubs go he cares not. The Mayor has literally sanctioned a reign of lawlessness and immorality among Negroes. It is conclusive that any Negro can run a dive joint, crap game as a private individual, anywhere he wants to, and he will be protected because others do it. We have heard of few arrests among Negroes for violations of the law, and they are thriving in crime and vice. We know that our citizenry will not swallow the Mayor's O. K. and if they do, they will vomit it with disgust. Mayor Nye certainly must be misformed, because we believe he would do as Ex-Chief Corriston did in Mr. Mosely's case, where he refused to abide by regulations. Col. Corriston closed him without disturbing the other clubs, but the Colonel is a man of military experience and the Mayor is a politician, hence a difference. We cannot publish "notes about persons" signed only by "subscriber." EFFORT TO SAVE OLD LANDMARK Mansion Which Once Shattered 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 pictureque 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 beings 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. Hogman 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. Douglass 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 Douglass, which was bequeathed to the race he served for a lifetime. A Douglass 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. WANTED.
