It is further a matter of record that for this warrant Prince Hall forwarded to the grand lodge of England the usual fee of £5 15s. There can be no question as to the legitimacy of the Negro Mason. He is as regular as the most regular white Mason who faces the east and makes the proper signs before the three great lights. His warrant of constitution makes him a brother regardless of his color or race. WHEATON'S LEGAL TRIUMPH New York's Famous Lawyer Victorious In Many Cases. Former Minne- sota Representative. Hon. J. Frank Wheaton, New York's famous Negro lawyer, is well known to the people of Minnesota, where he was the only Negro ever elected to the State Legislature, serving with special honor and distinction. His "Clivil Rights Bill" is one of the bulwark's of his race in this state. Atty. W. T. Francis of St. Paul, Minn., said of it that "any amendment to Wheaton's Bill was a loss of time and energy. Mr. Wheaton has his offices with "The Amsterdam News," J. H. Anderson, Publisher at 17 West 135th St. New York. The News says that "Mr. Wheaton has disposed of thirty cases this month from murder down, and it is really a revelation to visit the courts and observe the high esteem in which the judges hold him". Mr. Wheaton is one of the most eloquent speakers of his race. His response to the Mayor's welcome address to the Elks at Atlantic City last year was a classic. He is president of the Equity Congress and passage of the bill providing for the Negro Regiment in New York and its organization are the results of his efforts. Mr. Wheaton is greatly admired by the Negro Regulars, having secured a change in the Army orders that they might be entertained by the citizens of New York while enroute to Ft. Ethan Allen. His greatest ambition is to properly educate his sons, Layton and Frank, who are winning signal honors in college. The above cut shows Atty. Wheaton as he is today, and our readers are always anxious to hear about him. He is ever inquired off, by our representative citizens, of both races. Atty. Wheaton keeps in touch with his old friends through these columns. A recent letter states:— My Dear old friend Smith: I am enclosing price of renewal of my subscription to your valuable paper, perusal of which brings me much pleasure and joy each week. In my busy life here, it is indeed refreshing through your columns to learn the doings of the people, especially my friends in the old home, which so signally honored me and that I shall always regard with love and affection. Wishing you continued prosperity, I remain. Yours sincerely, J. Frank Wheaton. Atty. Wheaton contemplates a visit to Minnesota with a delegation of Eastern friends en route the Panama Pacific Exposition. A royal welcome awaits them. The annual report made by the Secretary-Treasurer of the Colored Masonic Beneficial Association shows that the association collected on policies in force over $81,000 during the past year. --- Spirit of Brotherhood Which Pervades the Ranks of Time Honored Society Extolled—How the First Lodge of the Order Among Colored Men In America Was Established. By RALPH W. TYLBR. The Masonic fraternity is a most beneficent order. Its fundamental principles know no color or race, no country or clime. With more than 3,000 years of well doing behind it, it is just as earnest and vigorous to uphold the traditions of the order as when building the temple—to spread the gospel of the brotherhood of man throughout the length and breadth of the land. The legitimacy of Negro Masonry is today honored in the breach, if not in the observance, everywhere. In the face of historical facts and records the legitimacy of the Negro Mason cannot be questioned. At one time our legitimacy was questioned because Prince Hall, the founder of the first Masonic lodge among colored men in this country, had been made a Mason in an army lodge back in the Revolutionary days. Laws and records, however, established the right for the existence of army lodges. After this objection had been completely swept aside still our legitimacy was questioned, primarily on the ground that two grand bodies could not exist in the same jurisdiction. At one time, many years ago, white Masons made the tentative proposition that if Negro Masons would prefix the descriptive word "Negro" to our grand lodges they would recognize us as Masonic brothers. The Negro Masons came back with the reply that Masonry knows no color, clime or country. When evidence was produced to prove that Prince Hall, the first Negro Mason in the United States, had been recognized by the grand lodge of England, from which came the charter for the white Masons. The great lesson which Masonry teaches its votaries is that 'a man is a man for a that.' And the fundamental principles of Masonry teach that we are all citizens of one country, which is the whole world itself; members of one family, which is the entire human race, and children of one father, who is the Omnipotent God above and around us. Whether he comes from the jungles of Africa, the cotton plantations of Mississippi, the plains of Hindustan, the burning sands of Arabia, the snow capped summits of Greenland or from whatever nation or clime, if he is a Mason and can prove himself such, he should be welcomed as a man and a brother. The wisdom of Masonry is exemplified in establishing her basis on the immutable foundation of truth. The shackles fall from the hands of prejudice and bigotry at the entrance of her shrine. In her sacred retreat every discordant voice is hushed, and the bitterness of sectarian strife is abashed into silence in the awful-presence of pure and absolute truth. If Masonry were to require any other creed than God is our Father and that men are his children and therefore bound to love him and one another, her grand object would at once be defeated. Next to allegiance to God and springing from it, its controlling principle is love for man as man. Masonry meets man in all the varieties of his condition with sympathy and comprehends him in all of his complex nature. Before the altar all distinctions vanish, and all men, prince or peasant, stand alike in the presence and must meet upon the level. Prince Hall was never discouraged. When bitterly treated as a clandestine, he approached the fountain head—the grand lodge of England. After he had established the first lodge among Negroes he wrote from Boston, under date of March 21, 1784, as follows: "I would inform you that this lodge hath been founded almost eight years. We have had no opportunity to apply for a warrant before, though we have been importunt to send to France for one, yet we thought best to send to the fountain head from whence we received the light for a warrant." Six months later, on Sept. 29, 1784, 129 years ago, the grand lodge of England, whose grand east is in London, granted his prayer by issuing to the fifteen colored men who had been infilated into the mysteries of Masonry J.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE Economic and Social Aspect of Educational Work In One Hundred and Thirty Counties In the Southern States Reviewed by State Supervisor Jackson Davis of Virginia. How industrial training, under a system of supervising industrial teachers, has not only vitalized the rural schools among the colored people into which it has been introduced, but is also having farreaching economic and social effects on rural conditions generally, is described by Jackson Davis, state supervisor of elementary schools in Virginia, in the Southern Workman. Mr. Davis says in part: "A few efforts had been made here and there throughout the south to tie up the work of the country school to the life of the home and the farm, but it was not until the establishment of the Jeanes fund for rural schools that a general effort was made in this direction. In Henrico county, Va., in the fall of 1908, following a conference of the school officials of the county with agents of the Jeanes fund, a supervising industrial teacher was employed and put to work in all of the colored schools of the county. "The pioneer work of Virginia Randolph in overcoming the indifference of her own people, organizing improvement leagues at each school, introducing simple forms of industrial work and in the enlistment of the active interest of the white people in these efforts for improvement in practical ways, met with such success that a new spirit was soon ablaze in each colored community, and the schools were transformed in appearance and in the general character of their work. "The general plan, so successful in its early demonstration, has continued to grow and meet with approval. It has developed initiative among the colored rural people, and it has the their interests together in a school for a better neighborhood. The moral effect has been noticed by the white people around them and their support of this movement has been hearty. Supervising industrial teachers were employed in 130 counties in the south ern states last session. "This work has been made possible in most cases by the Jeannes fund, but the counties, as they see the splendid results, are putting up more money from local funds for the support of the work, and in some counties the teacher's salary is paid entirely from local school funds. In sending out trained teachers to supervise the rural schools we are putting the best leadership of the Negro race to work in the task of bringing about better training, better farming and better living. "The school is almost the only point where conscious effort is made by the white people to influence and develop the Negro race, and here is a great opportunity for constructive work, as indeed the supervising teachers are showing. In organizing the school improvement leagues they are bringing the older people together in the interest of better things and are calling forth the spirit of self help, which is indispensable to their progress. "One of the most promising developments in the work has been the cooperation of the supervising industrial teacher with the farm demonstration agent in working during the summer months with clubs of girls who make home gardens and can their vegetables and fruits for winter use. This feature of the work was begun in Virginia two years ago in four counties. During the past summer it was carried on in fourteem. Under this plan the in industrial teachers are employed for the entire twelve months. At the close of the school term they organize garden clubs among the larger girls. They visit them in their homes, meet them in groups, give them practical instruction for their gardens and teach canning, cooking and sewing in their homes. "The teachers are in great demand during the summer months, not only among the girls, but among their mothers as well, for they, too, have been eager to learn the government way of canning vegetables. "Elither as tenants, or laborers the colored people cultivate farms in the south with an area of 100,000 acres. This is an area equal to four times the state of Virginia. Much of this land, as we know, is cultivated in the very poorest fashion. We shall have a oneided cultivation as long as we have twentieth century methods in our cities and eighteenth century methods on our farms. "If we deny the Negro the training which he needs to make a better citizen and a better man and a better farmer, we suppress our rural life and hold down our average to a lower level and we continue to have him wear out the soil which is our greatest natural wealth. Training of the right kind that will replace obsolete methods with intelligent methods, that will replace insantary cabins with good dwelling houses, neglected shacks with attractive schoolhouses and an intelligent work for the coming of the kingdom of God on earth--this is the rural civilisation which some think must be wrought as by a miracle." INCREASE IN FUNDS FOR FREEDMEN'S AID SCHOOLS. New Buildings and Equipment With Stronger Faculties Also Secured. The twenty-two schools under the auspices of the Freedmen's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church have started upon a new era this year and with the brightest prospects for the second year of the church quadrannium in all the history of the society's work. Additional appropriations have been made to most of the institutions, the faculties have been strengthened, repairs are under way, ground has been broken for a new dormitory at Walden university, new buildings have been recently erected at Morristown Normal and Industrial college and Claflin university, and buildings under course of erection at Wiley university and Philander Smith college are being completed. Bishop Theodore S. Henderson, one of the most resourceful bishops in Methodism, has been relieved from the holding of spring conferences and is detailed by the board of bishops to lead in a campaign for the jubilee among the white conferences in particular as executive director in co-operation with the secretaries. All of the bishops resident in the south are backing Secretaries Maveety and Penn in their plans, and the brightest day in the forty-seven years' history of the society is now at hand. The schools fostered by the society and their location are: Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga.; Flint Medical college and hospital, New Orleans; Mehary Medical college, Nashville, Tenn.; Bennett college, Greenboro, N. C.; Claflin university, Orangeburg, N. C.; Clark university, Baltimore, Md.; Clark university, Houston, Tex.; New Orleans university, New Orleans; Rust university, Holly Springs, Misc.; Marge R. Smith college, Sedalia, Mo.; Philander Smith college, Little Rock, Ark.; Walden university, Nashville, Tenn.; Wiley university, Nashville, Tenn.; Canterbury, Md.; Binghamton, New York; Cookman institute, Jacksonville, Fl.; Gilbert academy, Baldwin, La.; Haven academy, Waynesboro, Ga.; Meridian academy, Meridian, Misc.; Morristown Normal and Industrial college, Morristown, Tenn.; Morgan college, Baltimore; Princess College, Baltimore; Virginia Collegiate and Industrial institute, Lynchburg, Va. BINGA'S GENEROUS GIFT. Chicago Banker Donates $500 to Work of National Association. Jesse Binga, Chicago's well known banker, has given $500 to the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Binga is much interested in the welfare of his race and gave this amount at the recent meeting held at Lincoln Center in Chicago after listening to Professor J. E. Spingarn's speech. He is very enthusiastic about the work of the association and thinks that the time has come for the colored people to give money and work together to retain the rights the race now enjoys and regain those which have been lost by the indifference and shortsightness of those who in their preachments have put other things before the conservation of rights. College Men to Issue Monthly Magazine It is encouraging to note the increase in numbers and influence of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity of intercollegiate Greek letter men among Afro-Americans. The first issue of the Sphinx, the official organ of the fraternity, is due to make its appearance the first week in February. The seventh annual convention of the fraternity will be held at the seat of the Theta chapter in Chicago for three days beginning Monday, Dec. 28. Henry Lake Dickerson of Ohio is president of the fraternity, and Roscoe W. Ross of Cornell university is the secretary. Big Trades Union Organized in Paris The trades union organized by colored men in Paris the latter part of January is said to have a membership of over 10,000. The object of the union is to resist the efforts of the white workmen, who are claimed to be attempting to prevent the colored men from getting an increase in pay. SMOKE THE RELIABLE SO SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR So FACE TRIAL ON OTHER CHARGES Former St. Paul Police Officials Acquitted. JURY OUT MANY HOURS Ex-Chief Flanagan and Detective Turner to Appear in Court on Monday Next on Another Indictment Alleging Acceptance of Protection Money. St. Paul, Feb. 6.—Martin J. Flanagan, former chief of police, and Fred Turner, former city detective, were acquitted on the charge of bribery in the third degree in connection with the alleged payment of $1,000 by Dorothy Hazzard for police protection for her resort. The jury agreed as to the verdict of not guilty after being out nineteen hours, but only about six and a half hours were spent in actual deliberation. The trial has been in progress since Jan. 26. It was the first case of the kind in the history of St. Paul and was characterized by sensations from the first day of taking testimony. The two defendants will go to trial next Monday on a similar charge in connection with the alleged payment of $3,000 by Ida Dorsey for protection for a resort which she conducted on Washington street. County Attorney O'Brien moved before Judge Morrison to proceed to trial at once in the Dorsey case. Counsel for the defense asked that the date for beginning the Dorsey trial be fixed for Feb. 16, intimating a change of counsel for Flanagan. The court suggested beginning the trial in a day and Flanzan in a personal appeal to the court had the date set for next Monday morning. When the verdict of the jury in the Hazzard graft case was read there were hisses from courtroom spectators and no applause. The court rapped for order. The hisses, however, did not represent the sentiment of all present, for many pressed forward to shake the hands of the defendants and congratulate them. ASSAILED ON HOUSE FLOOR Morgan-Guggenheim Syndicate Scored by Borland. Washington, Feb. 6.—Nearly every erime in the calendar was laid at the doors of the Morgan-Guggenheim interests by Representative Borland of Missouri during house debate on the Alaskan railroad bill. "The story running in the sober records of the court includes everything from the corruption and bribery of judges to the wanton attack by armed bands of assassins upon workmen engaged in rival enterprises," he declared. He declared the situation to offer the alternative of turning the country back to the Alaska syndicate or to give the United States the benefit of the great natural resources by means of the government controlled railroads. FOR PROTECTION OF BIRDS Agricultural Department Intends to Enforce Federal Laws. Washington, Feb. 6.—Reports that the federal law for the protection of migratory birds would not be enforced this spring are declared to be "entirely unfounded and misleading" by the department of agriculture in a statement calling attention to the fact that Feb. 1 marked the end of the hunting season practically throughout the country. "Every effort," it says, "is being made to enforce the law so far as the limited means provided by congress will permit." The statement was issued to allay the misapprehension caused in certain sections of the country by the circulation of reports that the law was not to be enforced. Anniversary of Lincoln and Douglass. The birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and of Frederick Douglass occur in February. Arrangements for suitable celebrations in honor of the great work for human freedom accomplished by these two famous Americans are already under way in many parts of the country. Such anniversary meetings should serve to inspire and rekindle in the breast of every Afro-American a determination to make full use of the opportunities which he has as a direct result of the fearless stand taken by Lincoln and Douglass for human freedom. "MOTHER" ZION'S NEW HOME Progress of Well Known Religious Corporation in New York. The corporation of the Mother A. M. B. Zion church has purchased the building of the Church of the Redeemer in West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, near Seventh avenue, New York. Alterations are to be made as follows: The roof is to be raised and galleries erected, electric lights will be installed and decorations are to be up to the modern idea. The building when completed will have a seating capacity of from twelve to fifteen hundred, and the members of the famous old Mother Zion will have one of the most REV. J. W. BROWN. beautiful edifices in New York city. It is located convenient to all car lines in the heart of the densely populated Harlem district and in easy reach of its communicants. These transactions speak well for the progressive idea of the pastor, the Rev. J. W. Brown, formerly of Bochester, and his able staff of officials. The church in West Eighty-ninth street, which is valuable, will be sold. Aside from the possession of this property, Zion owns other properties of value and is considered one of the wealthiest churches of the denomination. It was founded in 1796, the first church being built at the corner of Church and Leonard streets in 1800. It was rebuilt in 1820. The first annual conference was organized in 1821, and the church was burned down in 1839 and again rebuilt in 1840. The Sabbath school was organized in 1845, and in 1864 the church was moved to Tenth and Bleecker streets. From there it was removed in 1904 to its present site in West Eighty-ninth street. The present membership is about 900. There is no doubt that the glad tidings of its advancement will be heralded abroad throughout the country. It is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy by Easter Sunday. The present members of the board of trustees are B. D. Fenderson, Charles G. Groce, Andrew Mead, James E. Nickson, Alongo A. Rives, William H. DeKalb, R. Herbert Porter, Marcus J. Baker, Louis M. Fenderson and James Chase. Mme. Minnie Johnson is organist and directress. The late E. V. C.

The occasion was the annual celebration of "Armstrong day" in honor of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, founder of the Hampton institute. The principal address was delivered by the Hon. R. C. Stearnes, state superintendent of public schools. Short addresses extolling the life and character of General Armstrong were made by Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, superintendent of the Richmond public schools; Hon. H. C. Pollard, city attorney, and the Rev. R. O. Johnson, pastor of the Moore Street Baptist church. The officers of the Richmond chapter of the Armstrong league are William D. Jones, president: H. C. Mundin, treasurer, and Miss W. L. Brooks, secretary. W. D. Davenport was chairman of the committee of arrangements for the meeting. The exercises were well attended, and much public interest was shown in the work which the Armstrong league represents. The Naked Truth: An old fable says that Truth and Falsehood went in bathing together. Falsehood came first out of the water and dressed herself in Truth's garments. Truth, unwilling to put on Falsehood's clothes, went naked. MINNEAPOLIS In this great city of ours, we need more consecrated men and women to throw out the life line to rescue the perishing souls.

Chicago.—Over 2,000 people attended the meeting in Abraham Lincoln Center, Oakwood boulevard and Langley avenue, in this city, recently to hear Professor Joel E. Spingarn speak against race segregation. It was the second great public meeting in the tour of Dr. Spingarn through the middle west. He is chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters in New York and branches in most of the large cities throughout the country. The speaker referred to the movement to eliminate racial prejudice between the races as the new abolitionism. A remarkable fact about the movement is that Professor Spingarn is bearing his own expenses. Every dollar of the cost of this great campaign is being borne by the author of the movement. This ought to bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of colored men who are unwilling to contribute to movements to fight racial wrongs. The audience which listened to Professor Spingarn was a highly cultured one and included prominent people of several races, including Afro-Americans, Caucasians, East Indians, Japanese, Persians, Africans, American Indians and one Fiji islander. On the platform were Dr. George C. Hall, Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Dr. C. E. Bentley, Judge Julian Mack, Dr. A. W. Williams, S. Laing Williams, Mrs. Cella Parker Wooley, Rev. J. B. Messiah, Mr. George W. Ellis and others. Every good point made by the speaker was applauded to the echo, and when he finished there was an outburst of applause which lasted for several minutes. "I come west to protest against the treatment of 10,000,000 American citizens," he said. "I come to riddle with the light of publicity the policy of the administration in separating the white and colored races while at work in the departments at Washington. "Our fight is just begun, and it will not end until we are triumphant. This is not merely a colored man's question—it is an American question. For twenty years after the civil war the colored men and women of this country knew not what to do nor where to turn. Suddenly given their freedom, they were in confusion and chaos. Then there arose a great leader who brought them a message, and for twenty-five years they have known no other message than that. "The message was, 'Hard work and the making of money.' You have to show for it $1,000,000,000 worth of property. But what else have you to show for it? The disfranchisement of nearly 2,000,000 colored men in the south. The jimcar car which runs on every southern railroad. Inequalities in the school laws which prevent colored people from securing their just share of the school funds in the south, although they are taxed the same pro rata as their white fellow citizens. "School laws in Florida whereby white teachers are prevented from teaching colored children schools, even Sunday schools. Segregation in a number of cities, first in the south and later in the north. Hundreds of injustices by laws and thousands by custom. "Lynchings to the number of 8,000 show how safe your lives are. You have great educational institutions and great business places, but your rights have been gradually taken from you, and of what use is the accumulation of property if you have not the ballot with which to protect it?" The speaker showed that, while the race was better off than in slavery, yet little was held by right, nearly everything by tolerance, and that the people who had stolen the rights of the race might also have taken the property, and the owners would have been powerless to prevent it. The truth is, so far as rights are concerned, the race is in the most serious crisis since the civil war. Abraham Lincoln's unfinished business must be completed, and it will be done. Dr. Charles E. Bentley read the report of the Chicago branch and called attention to many specific instances of the work in eliminating racial discriminations. He also reported that the parent organization was out of debt and had money in the treasury. Roger Baldwin, secretary of the City club of St. Louis, made an excellent speech, telling of the successful fight against segregation in that city. Among other good things he said: "No segregated people can ever hope for justice. It is absolutely impossible under such conditions." B. O. Davis to Reside in New Mexico. Lieutenant Benjamin O.

Speaks at Pilgrim Baptist Church, St. Paul, and Betheeda Baptist and St. Peter's A. M. E. Churches in Minneapolis. Advocates more Sunday Schools. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., arrived from Chicago on Jan. 30. He came in the interest of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and the National Negro Press Ass'n. Rev. Boyd recently attended the Evangelical Denominational Publishers Conference at the La Salle Hotel in Chicago, being the only Negro present. He spoke at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Friday evening and three times last Sunday, preaching at both services, and addressing the Sunday School, which under Supt. Geo. W. Wills, is one of the most thoroughly organized schools. At the Friday evening service Rev. Boyd made a great impression on his audience. He was introduced by Rev. E. H. McDonald, pastor, and welcomed by Atty. W. T. Francis. The rendition of Oh, Light Eternal, by J. H. Hickman, Jr., accompanied by Prof. Strong, Organist, was a musical treat. Rev. Boyd in his remarks said that "I plead for a better understanding between our churches and Sunday Schools. The Sunday School people have misunderstood our Church government, and the Church people have thought that the Sunday School people wanted to run the Church. Hence often there is little co-operation. We want concessions on both sides. The younger people may have educational advantages, but should listen to and respect the advice of the older people, who are called "fogey", but often are right after all. Rev. Boyd told of our departure from Sunday School work, and proved that the lessons and environments of the Sunday School were more important to our well-being, than the social vanities, in which we indulge. His remarks were forceful and he advised his hearers to return to the Sunday School, which should be made as attractive and more interesting than the movies; also more entertaining than our social functions. On Saturday Rev. Boyd arrived in Minneapolis, where he visited The Star office on business of the National Negro Press Ass'n, after which he spoke at Bethesda Baptist Church to a small audience. Rev. Carter regretted that Rev. Boyd had not arranged to stay over Sunday, as it had been announced that he would leave Saturday evening for Omaha. Rev. Boyd remained on account of: the indisposition of Rev. McDonald, whose pulpit he filled and his desire to speak at the Sunday Forum, at St. Peter's Church, where he was greeted by a large audience. The Rev. Mr. Boyd is the son of Rev. R. H. Boyd, the secretary, treasurer and manager of the National Baptist Publishing Board, the largest and most widely known Negro publishing concern in the United States. The following is from the Minneapolis Tribune, February 2, morning and evening editions. SELF HELP FOR THE NEGRO. Nashville Minister Urges Co-operation for Financial Advancement. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., a prominent Negro, speaking before the Minneapolis Sunday Forum at St. Peter's African M. E. church yesterday on "Our Needs and Our Opportunities," urged the Negroes of Nashville to co-operate in every way for the financial protection of their families. "If we expect our sons and daughters to become employees in the commercial world," said Mr. Boyd, "we must by co-operation, make places for them. We cannot expect the white man to open avenues for our employment. There are enough Negroes here today to open a bank in Minneapolis. We must throw around our families such protection and environment as will safeguard them from destruction." Mr. Boyd is in the Twin Cities in HENRY ALLEN BOYD. the interest of the Baptist Sunday School congress, which meets at Beaumont, Tex., next June. He is manager of the National Baptist Publishing company, secretary of the National Negro Press association, treasurer of the Union-Review, manager of the Nashville Globe and statistician of the Negro Bankers' association. He is also a life member of the National Negro Business league, of which Booker T. Washington is president. Mr. Boyd was introduced by Charles Sumner Smith, publisher of the Twin city Star." Rev. Boyd left Sunday night for Omaha comfortably settled in his berth to rest from one of the busiest days of his life, hoping to return to the Northwest to again interest his people in many things material, because he realizes their neglect of the many opportunities afforded, which are denied them in other localities.

VERSED IN CHURCH HISTORY Brief Summary of the Achievements of the President of the Baptist State Convention of Alabama—Author of Several Plans For the Future Welfare of the Denomination. Birmingham, Ala.—The Baptist denomination in this state is growing by leaps and bounds in numbers, finance and intelligent leadership. The reports made by the various churches at the last state convention covered a wide scope of activities in and out of the individual churches themselves. Foremost among the many capable leaders in the work of the denomination is the Rev. J. H. Eason, B. D., pastor of the Jackson Street Baptist church in this city and president of the Alabama Baptist state convention. Mr. Eason is a native of Sumterville, this state, and was graduated from Selma university in 1885 and from the Richmond (Va.) Theological seminary in 1800. After his graduation in 1800 Professor Eason taught at Selma university for seven years. He was ordained to the Baptist ministry in 1891 He has held many responsible positions both as a churchman and an educator. Before beginning his pastorate at the Jackson Street Baptist church in this city he had been pastor of the Seventeenth Street Baptist church in Anniston for sixteen years. The Rev. Mr. Eason has some very distinct views as to the work, doctrine REV. J. H. EASON, B. D. and discipline of the Baptist denomination. In a recent interview he made the following statements: "For several years I have made special study of church history and the Baptist denomination. I find the primitive form of the Baptist people was that of a mass meeting. They are a family. All other denominations are organizations. The Baptists are a growth, not an institution, in their nature. "To do the best work it is possible for us as Baptists to do we will have to become an organized family. I should not be surprised in the future to see the Baptists divided into two great classes—namely, confederated Baptists and the united Baptists. "Some years ago I drew up a constitution for the Alabama Baptist state convention, which provided that the one state convention be divided into four subordinate state district conventions, the coming together once a year of these state district conventions in the state convention. Many good and great men in the state and out of the state predicted the state district conventions would secede from the one central organization. But there are no signs of trouble yet. The scheme is working nicely. "In our last convention at Mobile, Ala., the brethren passed a recommendation which I offered that provides that we have a congress to investigate and restate the practices and doctrines which the churches that are members of the convention are expected to support and practice. "I reason if committees to revise the Bible are wise a meeting to look into the practices and doctrines of the denomination that rests upon the Bible for its only rule of action might not be out of order. This meeting will be held some time next year." Vernon, Okla., is a new exclusively colored town in Oklahoma, on the Fort Smith & Western Ry., which is rapidly growing. It has now a population of over five hundred. To the Race Loving Women and Men of the United States. The Constitutional League of Oklahoma with Lawyer William Harrison, of Oklahoma City as its leading attorney is contesting with vigor the "Jim Crow" laws of Oklahoma. He will, the last of November or the first of December, bring before the United States Supreme Court the case of McCabe et al vs. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway So., et al. We are informed that jurist say that the Oklahoma case is the best prepared of its kind of any case yet put before the United States Supreme Court, and that it will now have to meet the issue squarely. There is one feature of this case that will be settled which will effect all of the Negroes in the United States and that is the Inter-State passenger law. If he succeeds it will put an end to all Jim Crowism, so far as Inter-State passengers are concerned. They will not even be subject to the Intr-State laws of the South. Hence we hereby appeal to every liberty loving woman, man and friend of the Negroe race in this country to make a contribution to the expense of fighting this cas. We think it is high time, if Negroes want liberty, they should be willing to pay something towards it. A few race loving men and women in the Oklahoma League, led by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., who is now pastor of the Mount Carmil Baptist church, Washington, D. C., have made great sacrifice to bring the case through lower courts to its present stage and Mr. Harrison has practically given his service for nothing; but must be rewarded. We are informed that two able constitutional lawyers of Boston and New York will assist in this case. Therefore let everyone who is interested send at least $1. All contributions to be sent to Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., 420 Q street, N. W., Washington, D. C., who will receipt you for the same. He is a reputable, straightforward, Christian gentleman, and will make an honest report of all money sent him. If persons making contributions do not object, their names will be published in the leading papers of their state.

ADVERTISE IN THE STAR HOBSON REQUESTS ACTION Alabaman Demands House Thresh Out Parker Protest. Washington, Feb. 6.—Representative Richmond P. Hobson of Alabama, who has been campaigning against Oscar W. Underwood for the Democratic nomination for the senate from Alabama, wants immediate action on the demand of W. H. Parker of Alabama that his salary be withheld for the days he has been absent from the house. When he returned from Alabama Mr. Hobson telephoned Representative Underwood demanding that something be done about the Parker protest. He declared he wanted the matter called up on the floor of the house and threshed out or dropped entirely. The Fifteenth Amendment Will Stand. The introduction of a measure in the general assembly at Columbia, S. C., recently favoring the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution simply shows the attitude of a small minority of southern white men toward the colored citizens of the country. The great bulk of intelligent whites throughout the country would vote against such a selfish measure were it to become a national issue. Sunday Schools to Aid Missionaries. The foreign mission board of the National Baptist convention is preparing an elaborate Easter program for the Sunday schools throughout the country. Dr. L. G Jordan, secretary, says they will mail out at least 200,000 of these programs to the Sunday schools in every state and also to their stations in Africa and other foreign points. The board is asking for $15,000 for immediate use on the foreign field. DO YOU WANT TO BE WELL-DRESSED? THEN I AM YOUR TAILOR. SUITS $25.00 OVERCOATS $25.00 Cleaning Pressing Repairing CLIFFORD A.

Noted Speakers Praise Work of Well Known Southern School. The meetings held under the auspices of the Armstrong association in the Brooklyn Academy of Music Monday evening, Jan. 26, and at Carnegie hall, New York, Tuesday, Jan. 27, in the interest of the Hampton (Va.) institute were each largely attended and enthusiastic. The plantation songs and other melodies sung by the Hampont students were well rendered and highly enjoyed by the audience at both meetings. Besides the popularity of the speakers and what they said, the most interesting feature of the meetings was the moving pictures showing step by step the success of John Henry, a typical country boy from the time he left his home in Kentucky until his graduation from Hampton. The Hon. Job E. Hedges was the chief speaker at the Brooklyn meeting He was followed by Major R. R. Moton, who made a brief address. Mr. Hedges in giving his impressions of Hampton Institute said, "Hampton is a good place for white people because it makes them whiter. There you find a sanctity of emotion that makes you ashamed. At Hampton true religion is to be found. We sometimes go to church because it is decent. They go because they've got to have it," he said. He spoke glowingly of Robert C. Ogden. "I know of no place where a dollar will breed more dollars of value than at Hampton." Major Robert R. Moton, disciplinary officer at Hampton, said: "The most serious problem of the nation is the adjustment of the relations of the two races. Hampton institute affords a common platform for all men, black and white, north and south, to meet on. "Slavery," declared Mr. Moton, "left the Negro with the impression that work with the hands was degrading and to be despised. But Hampton is doing away with this thought. The white race taught us that anything black was to be despised. Hampton has taught my race to be proud of itself. God intended that the Negro should be as good as any other race. And what will go a great way toward the solving of the problem is a belief of white people in the colored man and a belief by the colored man in the white person." The Hon. George McAneny, president of the board of aldermen, was the chief speaker at the Carnegie hall meeting in New York. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. COURT VINDICATES DAVIS. Indictment Against Noted Georgia Odd Fellow and Editor Dropped. Fellow and Editor Dropped. Atlanta, Ga.-Benjamin J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, is receiving congratulations from friends in all parts of the country on the wiping out of the charge that the federal government had held against him for twelve years. Upon the recommendation of Hooper Alexander, United States district attorney for the northern district of Georgia, Attorney General McReynolds ordered a stet to be entered. In signing the order of nole prosequil Judge W. T. Newman wrote: "There has long been prevalent a general belief that the indictment of Mr. Davis was secured by his political enemies on the slenderest evidence." In connection with this one of the attorneys in the case says: "This case was pending in the United States district court from ten to twelve years. The indictment was found during Mr. Angier's term of office as United States district attorney. Repeated efforts were made by defendant's counsel, Rosser & Brandon and C. P. Gore, for trial in this case from term to term without avail. There never was a time when the defendant could have been convicted uni- A. B. BENJAMIN J. DAVIS. der this indictment for the reason that the evidence upon which it was founded was insufficient. "Mr. Alexander, the United States district attorney, stated in open court, when the noile prosecu was entered, that many of the acts relied upon for conviction under the indictment were barred by the statute of limitation when the indictment was found, and investigation by Mr. Angler or his successor in office, Mr. Tate, would have adduced the same findings made by Mr. Alexander, and it is passing strange that these officers representing the United States would permit an indictment to stand for twelve long years against a citizen of Georgia when it was absolutely baseless in fact. "It must be credited to Mr. Alexander that he is not only a competent officer, but that he is conscientious, painstaking and courageous and discharges his duty as he sees it. He acted promptly in this case with a view to trying it, if there was anything in it, and, if not, to give it the direction already indicated."

Among the sonnets written by Theodore Tilton to the memory of Fred Douglas appears the following fine lines: I knew the proudest giants of my day. And he was of them-strong amid the strong. But gentle too, for, though he suffered wrong. Tet the dover never heard him say, Theo also do I hate. *** A laver's lay—no dirge, no doleful requiem song— In what I owe him, for I loved him long, As dearly as a younger brother may. Proud is the happy grief with which I sing. For, O my country, in the paths of men There never walked a grander man than he! He was a peer of princes—yea, a king, Crowned in the shambles and the prison pen. The noblest slave that ever God set free! NATIONAL W. C. T. U. Department Work Among Colored People. AN OPEN LETTER. The National Woman's Christian Temperance Union has launched a campaign for National Constitutional Prohibition in 1920. We believe in ourselves; but infinitely more in the God who said: "Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not your but God's." We realize that it would be disastrous to the race, if in the final triumph of virtue over vice, the church over the liquor traffic; our women were found poorly represented in the great organization of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which knows no woman by her creed or color. To forestall such a calamity, we are calling for volunteers all over the Nation. January 1, 1914, has been set apart as out fast day, on which day all who are interested in the wellbeling of the race are called to unite with us that there might be a great awakening of our women to this the opportune time to fall into line and help save our race from this vile form of slavery which the white man's civilization has forced upon us. At our National Convention in Asbury Park, N. J., in November, Ohio's colored women led the nation in making a great gain of membership; New York came next. The whole nation must rally. The liquor traffic knows no race, section, nor condition in its work if evil. WE MUST BE ON DUTY when the last blow for liberty of home, race and nation is struck. Texas will rally for 1,000 paid members. Tennessee and Arkansas 500 each. Mrs. George E. Haynes, Eisk University, Nashville, Tenn., has been chosen as our Secretary of Advisory Committees of College Work. Miss Mary A. Lynch, Livingston College, Salisbury, N. C., is Chairman of Committee on Press Work. I cheerfully introduce these capable earnest women who will help lead our ranks to victory over the greatest enemy we have known since emancipation. We believe in the press as one of the greatest means of helping to establish truth and justice. We believe that our men will rally to help us as they discover the earnestness of our hearts set to action. We therefore humbly ask that you will give space in your valuable columns of the next issue for this letter. We further beg that you will let appear in a later issue if not along with this letter, the enclosed copy of excerpts from Dr. Booker T. Washington; Prof. Kelly Miller, Howard University, Washington, D. C.; Dr. C. V. Roman, Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, Memphis, Tenn.; Bishop C. R. Harris, Salisbury, N. C.; Dr. R. E. Jones, New Orleans; Dr. J. H. N. Waring, Washington, D. C. ELIZA E. PETERSON, Texarkana, Tex., National Supt. AMANDA SMITH, Sebring, Fla. ELLA SHEPPARD MOORE, Nashville, Tenn., Associates. WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO. By Dr. Booker T. Washington, in the "Worlds Work Magazine, New York City, November, 1913- "I am trying to get the white people to realize that since no color line is drawn in the punishment of crime, no color line should be drawn in the preparation for life, in the kind of education, in other words, that makes for useful, clean living. I am trying to get the white people to see that in hundreds of counties in the South it is costing more to punish colored people for crime than it would cost to educate them. I am trying to get all to see that ignorance, poverty, and weakness invite and encourage the stronger race to act unjustly toward the weak, and that so long as this condition remains, the young white men of the South will have a fearful handicap in the battle of life." --- EDITOR CLARK HOWELL'S ADVICE. Says Negro Is But Half Free—Negro His Own Emancipator. A Wise Delivery. Mr. Clark Howell, the Editor of the Atlanta Constitution in a recent issue of that paper gave this significant advice to the Negroes. "The Negroes of the South and the Nation generally are celebrating the year of the bi-centenary of the proclamation of emancipation. In these ceremonies the good wishes of all thoughtful white men will go out to the Negroes. The Negro has made wonderful progress since emancipation, but the greater and more permanent emancipation is yet to come. We believe it is dawning. We hope so. For with the swiftness and completeness with which it is materialized depends the salvation of the Negro in America, and very largely the white race throughout America, no less than in the Southern States. We refer to emancipation from vice, disease, shiftlessness, contempt for contractual obligation, crime, scorn of humble beginnings, an educational system that still educates the one but measurably neglects the ninety and nine. It was possible for Lincoln at the stroke of a pen, to strike the material shackles from the Negro. It will require the process of time and painful, agonizing efforts, to strike these other shackles besides which the fetters that manacles hands and feet are inconsiderable. The effort must be aided by the white man. But the initiative, and the patient, faithful plodding must come from the Negro himself and from his leaders. Unless the Negro masters these shackles of freedom they are going to master him. Vice is gnawing at his vitals. Disease is undermining his racial structure. Shiftlessness is keeping him poverty-stricken. Contempt for pledge is increasing the difficulty of securing employment. Crime is dragging down some of his best racial material. The mania to begin at the top is cutting him off from dwindling opportunity. His faulty education system is equipping the one exceptional Negro but letting the average ninety and nine go to pot. It is therefore, a good time for the Negro who would serve his race and its future to preach the sharp distinction between—emancipation affected by the pen and emancipation which resists all effort save that of the blood and sweat of one's brow." The advice of Mr. Howell may appear keen and piercing at first sight, but a re-reading will convince any thoughtful Negro that is a proper deliverance, and comes from one who is a real friend to the race, no matter what his former attitude may have been, and show that a great change is coming over the leading men of the South. The matter is re peated here so that the Negro leaders may be reminded of a duty which they owe to themselves, and to the race, and pass it down the line until a gradual cure sets in for the defects pointed out by the Editor of the South's leading journal. We know that there are many thousand Negroes to which this does not apply, and yet there are many more thousands whoes photographs could not have been better taken, and these are a heavy weight on the race, and the community at large. Let our leaders awake and make an effort to free the race from the terrible manacle which binds so many of the unsuspecting and thoughtless ones. The above comment is by Dr. E. C. Morris, Pres. Natl' Baptist Convention, one of the recognized leaders, perhaps the leading Negro in America today. THE ONE SURE WAY TO GET ON. Alexander L. Jackson may be offered as "Exhibit A" in proof that Opportunity plays no favorites. Alexander lives in Englewood, N. J., is 22 years old and is a Negro. While he was a mere kid his father died, fording Alexander to work to help support the widow. He sold papers, tended furnaces, mowed lawns, did whatever he could, meanwhile studying in spare moments. He worked his way through high school, graduating with honor. He worked his way through the prep school, made the track team, won a scholarship and was orator of his class. Then he went to Harvard, where he took honor after honor; and next June, when he graduates, he will once more be otoror of his class. Alexander intends to devote his life to helping his race. He has what seems to us the right idea of how to help it—he believes that the colored brother must up-build himself by education and industry until he has his own respect and the respect of his neighbors. When he gets that far along, the rest of the journey ought to be easy. The career of this Negro boy is a challenge to boys of all colors. He didn't wait for charity or uplift or patronage—he hustled. It is the one sure way to get on. Omaha Daily News. GOLDEN'S GRAIN BELT BELKS Foreign Beer Exp that Golden Grain Belt is the nearest lll America. Be wise.
