BRAVE DEEDS OF AFRO-AMERICANS INSTANCES OF GREAT VALOR Substantial Rewards Bestowed Upon Gallant Protectors of Human Life by Trustees of Fund Established by Noted Philanthropist Ten Years Ago. How the Money is Paid: In 1904 Mr. Andrew Carnegie, one of the greatest philanthropists of the age, whose millions were made in the iron and steel business of Pittsburgh, created a hero fund of $5,000,000 of first collateral 5 per cent bonds of the United States Steel corporation, which fund is under the control of a board known as the trustees of the hero fund, Mr. Carnegie having directed that in case of death widows and children or other dependents are to be provided for until the widow remarries and until the children reach a self supporting age. In the event of disability the disabled to be provided for until again able to work. The maximum death or displacement benefit to be paid in any one year to any one family or dependent shall not exceed $1,000, the amount and manner of payment in each case to be fixed by the commission upon the recommendation of the executive committee, provided, in no case, however, shall death or displacement benefits be paid unless it shall be clearly shown that the dependents or disabled need such assistance. The following colored persons are among the Negroes who have performed heroic deeds since this hero fund has been established, and here is what they have done: John B. Hill, aged thirty-five, coachman, rescued Thomas S. Prescott, aged six, and Florence Williams, aged twenty-one, from a runaway, Atlanta, Ga. by grabbing the bridle of one of the horses of a runaway team hitched to a landau containing the child and maid. After being dragged some distance he threw the horse. Award, bronze medal and $500 to reimburse him for pecuniary loss sustained on account of injuries. George A. Grant, aged thirty-three, teamster, sustained fatal injuries rescuing C. G. Campbell, aged forty-six, president of the American Painting and Decorating company, and Charles A. Whipple, aged forty-eight, superintending of building construction, from a runaway in Groton, Conn. Grant grasped the bridle of one of the horses, and, finding himself unable to control the other horse because its bridle was off, he threw the one he had hold of and was kicked on the neck and run over by the vehicle. He died the second day after. Award, silver medal and $25 a month for support of widow during her life or until she remarries, with $5 a month additional for each of four children until each reaches the age of sixteen. Theodore H. Homer, aged thirty-two, waiter, rescued F. Herger, aged eight, from a runaway in Philadelphia Aug. 2, 1908. Homer ran seventy feet to meet a badly frightened runaway horse drawing a delivery wagon containing Berger and, grasping its bridle, stopped it within eighty feet. Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. George E. McCue, aged twenty-six, porter, saved J. M. Herman, aged two, from being run over by a train in Garden City, Kan. McCue run 500 feet, part of this distance on the track ahead of a passenger train running forty miles an hour, and, grasping the baby and its carriage, which had rolled on to the track, threw them aside and cleared the track himself, the pilot beam of the engine missing him by a few inches. Awarded bronze medal and $500 for educational purposes as needed. Martha Generals, aged fifty-seven, housewife, rescued Peter M. Malkemes, aged nine, from electric shock in Wilkesbarre, Pa. Unable to release his hold of an electric light wire carrying 2,200 volts, the boy was being jerked about when Mrs. Generals grasped him by the neck and received a shock which temporarily paralyzed her arm. She appealed to bystanders to aid him, but none responded, and then she grasped the boy again and succeeded in pulling him free from the wire. Her hand was disabled for a week. The boy's band was badly burned. Awarded bronze medal and $20 a month during her life. Harley Tomlinson, aged thirty-four, Subscribe for the Star. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. JUNE 12, 1914. MISSION OF ADJUSTMENT. Liberian Treasury Secretary Visits America to Settle Financial Dispute. With the coming to this country of Hon. John Lewis Morris, the Liberian secretary of the treasury, an important epoch in placing that country on a firm financial basis may be inaugurated. Like Alexander Hamilton, who built the financial system of the then infant United States, Secretary Morris is only thirty-two years of age. Since coming to this country he has had audiences with President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Secretary Mo HON. JOHN LEWIS MORRIS. Adoo. He is here to clear up some disputed points regarding the $1,700,000 which an American - Reed Paige Clark—is charged with collecting. The Hon. Mr. Morris has a firm grasp of his country's side of the situation and has shown expert knowledge of his country's finances. Born in Liberia, he was educated in schools and colleges in Monrovia. He filled various government posts before President Howard of Liberia appointed him a member of the Liberian cabinet. He will remain in the United States until August as the guest of the Liberian consul general to the United States, Dr. Ernest Lyon of 141 W. Hill street, Baltimore. It was mainly through Dr. Lyon's efforts, when he was American minister to Liberia, that a commission was sent by the United States to investigate conditions in Liberia. This country has since taken a friendly interest in the little West African republic, and it was largely through the good will of this country that the recent loan was secured for the Liberian government.

PHYSICIAN AND BUSINESS MAN CAPABLE AND PERSISTENT. Steady Advance of Man Who Worked His Way Through College, Founded Hospital and Became Foremost In His Profession — Great Organizer, Promoter and Devout Churchman. Knoxville, Tenn.—From a farmer in a backwoods county in Georgia to one of the leading physicians and surgeons of the race is the record of Dr. Henry M. Green of this city, who enjoys a lucrative practice and is foremost in almost everything that is for the moral and intellectual development of his people. He was born in Barton county, La. Aug. 26, 1876. He received his early education in the public schools of his native county, after which he entered Knoxville college, where he prepared for his professional work. He graduated in 1895, having worked his way through college. His parents were unable to give him any assistance in his school work, but he decided that an education was within his reach and declared that he was going to have it. He believed in the proverb, "Where there is a will there is a way." He had the will and found a way. With his little learning from the Georgia public school he was prepared to do three things—be a Pullman porter, work in the coal mines or teach school. He used one of these during the vacations and did not have trouble in finding employment. He was a college graduate in bed making on a sleeping car and in digging in the coal mines, and every dollar earned in these places he invested in brains. Finishing at Knoxville college, he decided to study medicine because he had made up his mind to be a physician and surgeon. He went to Chicago, and when the Northwestern university threw open its doors in September, 1896, he was among the first to enter. He made such rapid progress that he was appointed an interne in the postgraduate medical school in Chicago. In this he got both theory and practice. He served out his time and then returned to Knoxville and finished his work in the Knoxville Medical college in 1901. Dr. Green decided to take a more thorough course in medicine and surgery and went to Edinburgh, where he pursued these subjects under the most competent instructors. While in Scotland he visited London, Vienna and Berlin. He gained much general knowledge by travel and observation. Having well qualified himself for his profession he returned to America and began the practice of medicine in Knoxville, Tenn. In order to have the best facilities for doing real work, he established the first hospital among our people in this section of the country. He has been doing general surgical work ever since. He is now the surgeon in chief of the Wallace Memorial-hospital in this city, where he performs many difficult operations during the year. It is putting it mildly to say that Dr. Green ranks with such surgeons as Drs. D. H. W. Williams and G. C. Hall of Chicago and Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington. As a churchman he is very active, being a member of the Mount Zion Baptist church and is chairman of the trustee board. When it comes to the promotion of education he is always found in the front. At this time he is an active trustee of Roger Williams university, Nashville, Tenn., and Nelson Merry college, Jefferson City, Tenn. He is one of the surgeons for the Knoxville, Severville and Eastern Railroad company, the first member of his race in this city to hold such a position and the only one. For four years Dr. Green was a member of the Knoxville city council, and during his administration one of the best school buildings in the state was erected, and it now bears his name. As a member of the city council he had the respect of all the members and the personal friendship of the mayor of the city. One year ago Dr. Green called together several men with money and told them that it was possible for the race to operate a coal yard in Knoxville. While many people said that it would not do, he convinced Dr. J. J Johnson and C H Fisher, and they put down the money. Thus the Colored Coal company, with a capital stock of $5,000, all paid in, was begun. A coal yard was fitted up, and because of the business standing of Dr. Green there was no trouble in getting all the coal needed. The Southern railroad delivers carloads of coal into the yard regularly. It is the largest coal business in the country operated by the race. Thousands of dollars' worth of coal is being unloaded into the yard, and large contracts have already been signed for coal for next winter. Five wagons are busy, and when next winter sets in it will be necessary to put on almost as many more. Employment is being furnished to a number of men of the race and young women as clerks, bookkeepers and stenographers. This is the way to solve the race problem. Dr. Green has invested some money in real estate and owns a palatial home. COMMENCEMENT ON AT WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY. Week of Inspiration and Joy at Leading Ohio Institution.

ADVERTISE IN THE STAR No. 34 PLACE FOR MAJOR YOUNG. Effort Made to Have Gallant Soldier Head New York Regiment. New York—Representatives of the United Colored Democracy of the State of New York have written to Governor Glynn suggesting that Major Charles Young, United States cavalry, who is an officer at present detailed as military attache to Monrovia, Liberia, and assisting in the instruction of the Liberian army, be made colonel of the national guard regiment of colored militia authorized by the legislature of the state in 1913. Major Young is the only Negro officer of his rank in the regular army. He entered West Point in June, 1884, and will have completed thirty years' service next month. Under army regulations an officer can retire, with the consent of the president, after thirty years' service, and the prominent colored men of this city, who have been fighting for years for the privilege of organizing a regiment, plan to have Major Young detailed to active service after his retirement and assigned to organize the authorized regiment in this state. This plan would continue Major Young on his active service pay of $3,000 a year. Robert N. Wood is president of the United Colored Democracy, and the other officers include F. F. Perecett, William H. Austin, James D. Carr, John T. Thorne, D. Macon Webster, Henri L. Smith, Cornellus A. Hughes, Owen M. Waller, W. W. Hanley, F. Q. Morton, J. Frank Wheaton, Edmund O. Austin, Samuel W. Jackson and Rufus L. Perry. The letter to Governor Glynn suggesting Major Young for colonel of the regiment was in part as follows: "The adjutant general has postponed organization of the colored regiment, owing to the fact that not a sufficient number of candidates passed the examination for officers. It has again been proposed that the regiment be commanded by white officers. I desire herewith to renew our objections to this proposal and to suggest a practicable means for the expeditious organization of the regiment in accordance with the plain intent of the statute that makes mandatory provision for it. "To place white officers in command of the regiment would be a clear violation of the statute. The statute provides for a colored regiment. Nowhere in the military law is the term 'regiment,' standing alone, used to describe only the private and noncommissioned officers of such a military unit as distinguished from its commissioned officers, but everywhere in that law this term, so used, means the entire unit, including all officers in command." The letter also sets forth debates in the legislature to support the contention that advocates of the new regiment act refused compromise measures providing for white officers. The letter continues: "Intelligent and disinterested colored citizens of this state do not now desire nor have they ever desired to have a regiment commanded by white officers. If we are not to have a regiment in which colored men may aspire to any rank for which they are fitted then we want no regiment." EVIL OF RACE PREJUDICE. Wounded Man Refused Admission to Pottaville (Pa.) Hospital. Disc. The evil effects of race prejudices were brought prominently to public view in Pottsville, Pa., on May 20, when an effort was made to have George Baxter, who had been severely wounded in a mine explosion, admitted to the Pottsville hospital. Martin Dolan, a contract miner for whom George Baxter worked, obtained a mandamus which would have admitted the wounded man to the hospital, but while the authorities of the institution were wrangling in court over Baxter's admission he died. One of Baxter's eyes had been blown out while at work and the other seriously injured, which required a speedy operation. Mr. Dolan offered to pay all the extra expense of a private ward, but the hospital officials refused to permit Baxter's entrance until the board of managers consented, although a section in the charter of the hospital provides that no distinction shall be made in the treatment of patients on account of color or nationality. The First Mourning Paper The oldest known letter written on black edged note paper as a sign of mourning appears to be one dated Jan. 5, 1863. In Addison's comedy of "The Drummer," 1715, reference is made to the fashion in the words, "My lady's mourning paper that is blacked at the edges." A few years later Allan Ramsay, who died in 1758, speaks in one of his poems of "the sable bordered sheet" as a messenger of sorrow. Mann, writing from Italy to Horace Walpole in 1745, says it was universally used in Florence at that time. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR.

SERG'T POPE DENIED DIVORCE. Serg't Z. A. Pope, U. S. A., retired was denied a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Mary Pope, after a two days' trial this week before Judge Steele. The result was watched with great interest as Serg't and Mrs. Pope are well known to most of the people of the Twin Cities. We regret that this case came to issue, and believed that Serg't Pope lacked the proper counsel in this matter, as it was clearly shown that his charges were unreasonable and imaginary. Mrs. Pope had many witnesses present who were not called to testify. Atty. Morris appeared for Mr. Pope and Atty. B. S. Smith represented Mrs. Pope. Not only was the divorce denied, but she was given an increase in allimony. We hope that a proper relationship will exist between these two parties, who have lived long together and accumulated something. Both are highly respected. Serg't Pope has been ill advised and Mrs. Pope has been greatly humiliated, but vindicated. When some Negro lawyers will counsel more and contest less they will not sacrifice the character of respected citizens, especially women, for a few dollars. GEO. GARDNER SERIOUSLY INJURED.

TWIN CITY STAR THE LATEST FEATURE AT THE WORKINGMEN'S SOCIAL CLUB Mr. Howard Phillip Swedish Hospital. I that he is improving. MISS BESSIE LA BELLE. Queen of Cabaret Entertainers whose rich contralto voice and class rendition, draws crowds to hear her. Miss Bessie La Belle, the erstwhile Minstrel and Vaudeville Star arrived in the Twin Cities the latter part of last week from Kansas City, Mo., enroute to Toronto, where she was baked indefinitely at The Kings' Inn. The wide awake and energetic Vice Pres. and Mgr., of The Workingmen's Social Club, Mr. Sylvester W. Oliver, who is always on the alert for something new and pleasing to the members of the Club, after much effort induced Miss La Belle to cancel her Toronto engagement and remain in Minneapolis as one of the Club's entertainers. To call Miss La Belle a Cabaret entertainer would be a miss nomer, for she is indeed a clever and meritorious artist; her dislike for travel caused her to abandon the Vaudeville field and take up Cabaret work. Since she has been engaged in this line of work, she has been employed in Elmwood Café Chicago, Billie Crutchfield's Café, Omaha, and recently went to Kansas City to open under the management of Mr. Leon Jordon the beautiful new Autumn Leaf Club. Miss La Belle besides having a pleasing and engaging personality, possesses a wonderful voice which she uses to the greatest advantage. "Lady Bess" as she is familiarly termed by her many friends will be heard each evening in The Club's Dining Room. 242 Third Ave. So., rendering some of her numerous and latest song hits. That prince of entertainers, Mr. Walter D. Evans who is direct from the Mineral Springs Club of Chicago, where his debonair manner and sunny disposition made him a host of friends who regretted deeply his leaving, will work in conjunction with Miss La Belle. It is assured Mr. Evans will evince the same friend making propensities here as he did in Chicago. Miss La Belle and Mr. Evans will be ably assisted by our little friend "Banty" Jim Morgan, whose name is synonymous with technic tempo and harmony. The Supt. of Service, Mr. Wm. McDowell, will be in evidence which is an assurance your most insignificant desire will be promptly gratified. Friday evening, June 18th, the Club invites you to hear this wonderful trio in a Special Arranged Program. MARRIAGE NOTICES.

ADVERTISEMENTS. Will Give Their ANNUAL BOAT EXCURSION TUESDAY EVE, JUNE 16TH. STEAMER HIAWATHA AND BARGE WILL LEAVE FOOT OF JACKSON ST., ST. PAUL, AT 8:30 P. M. SHARP. THE BROOKLYN BROTHERS The "Star" has called the attention of its readers a number of times to the excellent work and the success of Mr. Frank Peoples, our Minneapolis Contractor and Builder. It has done so because of pride in the achievements of this well equipped Afro-American Citizen along lines essentially different from the ordinary, and because of the assurance of support from our citizens. Mr. Peoples' success offers for those who come among us prepared to give value received. We learn from Mr. Peoples that his business shows a steady growth as confidence in his ability and integrity increase. It is the ambition of Mr. Peoples to conduct his building operations with the help of skilled Colored Mechanics. For this purpose he has consulted Mr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, and through this source has entered into negotiations with a number of the Tuskegee Graduates. One of them, Mr. W. A. Bostock, for a number of years in charge of Tuskegee's mechanics, has accepted an engagement with Mr. Peoples, and is now employed in construction under way in this city and St. Paul. Bearing in mind the scarcity of suitable houses for Afro-American tenants, the Peoples' office is making strenuous efforts to induce our people to build. Mr. Peoples is building upon a lot owned by himself located at 3849 Fourth Ave. S., a modern Five Thousand Dollar, Ten-Room Duplex. This will soon be ready for occupancy, and will be offered to Afro-American renters. In St. Paul, Mr. Peoples has in way a modern Five-Room Bungalow, constructed for Mr. O. E. Williams at 1366 Blair St. This, when completed, will be one of the costest and most attractive of St. Paul's homes. In a dwelling nearing completion, being built for Mr. W. M. Smith, of the P. O. Dept., Minneapolis, Mr. People is constructing a home designed along unusual lines. Every inch of space is skillfully used in this dwelling which contains eight rooms, a bath, a full basement, a sun porch, hot water heat—all the modern requirements assembled in a most attractive way. The dwelling will be stucco, hardwood throughout, and will cost complete Four Thousand Dollars." Try Miss M. E. Prewitt for Scalp Treatment. She uses the Poro-Scalp Preparation. See her adv. ST.

A few years ago the lawyers elected me President of the Hennepin County Bar Association, an honor I prized highly; and, as you may know, I was first assistant to Al J. Smith, and was appointed to the office of County Attorney for his unexpired term. This office, more than any other, needs efficiency, experience and vitality. If I am elected, men of every station will be treated alike, and I will give to the work the best that is in me. Prepared by A. N. Wasmuth, West Hotel, in behalf of O. P. B. Jacobson of Minneapolis, Minn., for which $5.00 is to be paid. [Picture of a man with a mustache and round glasses, wearing a suit and tie. The background is plain white.]] O. P. B. JACOBSON Republican Candidate for Nominasion, for RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE COMMISSIONER. Mr. Jacobson was born in Norway and comes from an old family of ship owners in the eastern part of that country. In the fall of 1884 he came to Fergus Falls and later became a commercial traveler, and afterwards a wheat buyer for the Farmer's Elevator at Fergus Falls, Minn. In 1908, he became the publisher of the old and well-known Norwegian Weekly Fergus Falls Ugeblad, and was Editor-in-chief of said paper until three years ago. Mr. Jacobson favors giving all persons and corporations a square deal and making earnest effort to remove unfair discrimination or inequalities in rates where the same may exist. Having served 3 years as a member of the State Board of Grain Appeals and being at present a member of the Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners, Mr. Jacobson is especially well qualified to efficiently fill the position for which he seeks the Republican nomination. He will give special attention to the grain inspection and weighing departments, to the end that the service shall be both impartial and efficient. Standing for a strict observance of the laws and rules governing all those licensed to handle grain and farm produce, insisting that they obtain the highest market for all products on the farm and supporting any fair plan for bringing the same to the consumer at the least expense, Mr. Jacobson solicits the support of the voters of Minnesota at the Primaries, June 16th.

Let us get out the real Negro vote and show the political strength of our race. The Negro voters always can show their power on election day, to those candidates, who advocate class legislation. PRIMARY ELECTION JUNE 16TH. The Mayorality race will be between Mayor Nye and Alderman Williams, Attorney Gould will be eliminated. HON THOS. KNEELAND. Hon. Thomas Kneeland is a Candidate for re-election as Representative from the 5th and 6th Wards. He is well known to the Negro voters, and should be remembered especially for his activity against the infamous Nimmocks Bill. Rep. Frank Nimmocks is a Candidate for re-election. He was the author of a bill against intermarriage between whites and blacks. It was through the efforts of a Committee of Negroes from the Twin Cities who appeared in protest before the Judiciary Committee, and the good friends of the race that the bill was killed. Judges Steele, Molyneaux and Fish, the present judges on the District Bench should and will be the first three of the six to be nominated. A LARGE NEGRO VOTE. There will be a large Negro vote on June 16th. There has been a neglect on the part of many to vote. Conditions are compelling persons of all nationalities to exercise their right of suffrage and the Negro vote is the issue in this campaign. A SQUARE DEAL For every kith, kin or tribe let us have a square deal. It matters not whether the accused is a Jew, Greek or Gentile, let justice be done through the heavens fall. And the only way to administer justice absolutely and impartially is by the measure of the Golden Rule. Just shift places.

"How is it your daughters have never learned to cook?" "Well, I'll tell you. My daughters have always been so busy with the problems of the working girl, settlement house matters and the like that they have never had time for such academic matters as learning to cook." —Louisville Courier-Journal. SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION --- A. B. Hon. James Manahan is a candidate for Attorney General, in the coming primary election. He is at present Congressman at Large from Minnesota, where he has not only placed him self on record for progressive legislation, but he has been very active against the attempted enforcement of Segregation Laws at the Nations Capital. Mr. Manahan is a member of the "Committee on Reform in the Civil Service" which took up a bill, introduced by Mr. Aswell of Louisiana, "to effect certain reforms in the Civil Service by segregating clerks and employees of the white race from those of African descent" and a bill introduced by Mr. Edwards of Georgia "to segregate Government employees of the white race from those of African blood, or descent." Being on another committee Mr. Manahan was not able to attend, but he registered his protest against any laws depriving men of any color of their "equal rights." Hon. Archibald C. Grimke appeared before this committee and made an earnest appeal for our human rights. Mr. Fred. D. McCracken, sec'y to Congressman Stevens, was instrumental in securing a hearing for Mr. Grimke. "Fred" says, "that the Congressmen from Minnesota were against the bills, and that Mr. Manahan was our friend on the committee." We take pleasure in commending Mr. Manahan to the Negro voters of this state. He is known as "The People's Lawyer." We feel that he is competent to fill the office of Attorney General, and we proudly refer to his record as a man who has kept his contract with the people. He has always maintained a high ideal of citizenship and put forth his best efforts to bring about such legislation as will insure the fundamental principles of our government. He believes in "Equal rights for all men." He is a Progressive Republican and will get the support of the majority of the voters of his state regardless of party affiliation. HIS RECORD. His work forced reduction of commodity freight rates. He lowered Pullman sleeping car charges. He won the Sunberg Express cases. In every public contest, he stood on the side of the oppressed. As Congressman: He voted for a strong income tax law. He voted for a lower tariff on all necessities of life. He opposed the money trust in currency legislation. He fought for reasonable protection to the farmers. He defended the right of labor in every measure before Congress. He forced an investigation of grain exchanges. He protested against the passage of any legislation discriminatory of the rights of the black man. COUNTY OPTION. Some have attempted to confuse the voters on the question of "County Option"—and have termed county optionists as prohibitionists. The Prohibitionists are trying to stop the manufacture, sale or use of liquor in the state. The County Optionists believe that the Counties have the right to vote on the liquor question and decide for themselves. We are living today under County Option Laws. The recent Supreme Court decision has had some effect on the rights of certain counties. We do not favor the right of persons in other counties to interfere with the rights of those of another county. BREWERY CONTROL. There is always a howl in state campaigns against brewery interests. This is a magnified issue and has become a political vehicle. The breweries have as much right to advance their trade (without unreasonable restraint) as have the other big interests. The breweries have not yet placed their ads on the walls of the State Capitol. Get after the Grain, Land, Lumber and Railroad interests. It is general that people without character are always protecting a reputation. A FEW REASONS, why Mayor Nye should be re-elected. He has recognized the right of the majority of the people to rule. He has kept his pre-election promises. He has always given ear to the complaints of the Negroes whenever they desired an audience. He has acted, on all matters pertaining to their civic and moral interests, upon the advice of the majority of the leading representatives of the race. He has advocated equal privileges to all persons regardless of creed or color. PAID ADVERT Prepared by Chase for which $10 is to be He has accorded to Negroes the same privileges of amusement and recreation as granted to other nationalities. Gov. Eberhart has decreased the number of Negro employees in our state. The positions held by Schuyler Phillips and R. M. Johnson were given to white men. It is true we have been recognized by the appointment of a young man as office boy in the Board of Control. He has appointed several of Mr. Geo. Hoage's friends as delegates without funds to Negro Congresses etc. Why did we not get a Negro girl in the Clerical Force in the Capitol? Enough were competent, but not wanted. Mr. Geo. Hoage the assistant messenger knows, and the administration is responsible. Mr. Billy Williams does not hold his position on political patronage, but Geo. claims to be the republican leader of the state and we don't expect him to make good, because he isn't and he can't. 4 Speaker of House, Session 1913 CANDIDATE FOR STATE AUDITOR. HE HAS MADE GOOD. He Stands For— Economical and business like administration of state auditor's office. Efficiency, not political influence, in appointments. Civil service and Reorganization of State Departments. Sale of foreign bonds owned by state and investment of proceeds in home securities. Conservation and state development. He is absolutely free from the domination of political bosses or machines. He wears no man's collar. Such a man deserves the support of all public spirited citizens who believe in a square deal and fair play. Resident of Minnesota forty-one years. PETER H. BURKE James Robertson the present County attorney is a candidate for re-election. He has made many friends during his term of office and has been the object of the most severe criticisms.

Lee of Long Prairie, Minn., is the anti-machine candidate for Governor of Minnesota. He was named at a conference held in Minneapolis where the delegates decided to unite on one man to oppose the present administration. The candidates present were Hon. Jas. A. Peterson, Sen. Jas. T. Elwell, Hon. Sam'l Iverson and Wm. E. Lee. Mr. Lee was unanimously named as the logical candidate to oppose the Smith-Eberhart machine — and his opponents in the conference are today campaigning for his nomination at the primaries and his election. He believes that the affairs of the State of Minnesota is the People's Business and should be managed upon business principles and not as a political spoils system.

Public Service instead of Political Service. Just Labor Legislation. Strict Law Enforcement. Initiative, Referendum, County Option, Effective Civil Service.

NEWSPAPER LAW The Times at Neosho, Mo., says: "Judge James Ellison, of the Kansas City Court of Appeals, handed down the following decision in the case of O. D. Austin, of Bates County Record, vs. Burge, other members concurring, and published in 137 S. W. Report, p. 618: 'The preparation and publication of a newspaper involves much mental and physical labor, as well as an outlay of money. One who accepts the paper by continuously taking it from the postoffice receives a benefit and pleasure arising from such labor and expenditures as fully as if he had appropriated any other product of another's labor, and by such act he must be held liable for subscription price.'" Sadly Handicapped. "Yes, my wife has one of these throat colds. She can't speak an audible word." "As bad as that?" "Yes, indeed; I got home late the other night." "Well?" "All she could do was to wave her arms and make faces." — Cleveland Plain Dealer. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.
