It is said that a full grown elephant is strong enough to carry three tons on its back --- GOVERNED BY CAPABLE MEN Authentic Account of Advancement Made by the People of Large and Wealthy Municipality In the Far Southwest — Once Trackless Plain Becomes Great Center of Industry. By RALPH W. TYLER. There is a popular belief existing, which I, too, shared before my recent visit to Boley, Okla., that Boley is but a mere settlement of incapable imitators, ignorant lawmakers, like some who obtruded themselves into public office in the south during the reconstruction period; that a few log huts and makeshift houses and stores, that are stores only in name, constitute Boley; that the municipal government is a farce comedy, and that "modern" is a word as foreign here as phonetics to a Brazilian monkey that quenches his thirst in Colonel Roosevelt's river of Doubt. The town is well illuminated by electric lights furnished by the city's modern electric light and power plant; the main street, in its entire length, has granolithic sidewalks; the stores are substantially built, well stocked and orderly conducted; the church edifices are very creditable indeed, and the town's bank building and Masonic temple are the equal of any town with three times its population, both being brick, the Masonic temple being a $35,000 structure. Boley is a modern town. The public school building is a perfectly modern. two story, eight room brick of chaste design. In addition to it there is a good denominational school. Nineteen teachers are employed to instruct a registered 890 Negro pupils. Eight churches conserve the religious interests of the town. two Baptist and one each of the following denominations: A. M. E., C. M. E., M. E., Congregational, Catholic and Church of God. The people of Boley subscribe for 2,100 monthly publications, 1,800 weekly publications and 150 daily publications. This number of publications subscribed for by a community of 2,500 souls indicates that Boley is a reading community that means to keep informed regarding what is current in the great outside world. The town maintains seven physicians, two dentists, six lawyers and fifty-one merchants, the latter having over $400,000 invested in their businesses. The town has a federal form of government. On arriving at this town, and I ought to dignify it with the title of city because of the highly intelligent manner in which its laws and ordinances are administered, the visitor alights at a railroad station whose station master, ticket agent, express agent, telegraph operator and "baggage smasher" are all men collated by the census bureau at Washington as Negroes. One finds here the well conducted hotel is presided over by a member of the race; that the telephone exchange is a Negro institution; that the electric light and power plant is wholly in the hands of Negroes. There is no race discrimination in Boley. Although the city is an exclusively Negro owned and populated town, when a white man puts in an appearance at Boley, as is frequently the case, on business errands, he is not subjected to the discrimination and revolting segregation to which Negroes are so frequently subjected in white governed communities. In this Negro town a white man is accorded that generous hospitality which must impress him with the Negro's sincere desire to return good for evil. Captivated by the harmony existing here, observing the progress being made, I could not help recalling Oliver Goldsmith's lines: Hope, like the gleaming taper's light tame and cheerst the way. There are many things, and frequent discouraging happenings to incline those of us with less sturdy hearts to the belief that, for the race, "darker grows the night." But when we turn our eyes to Boley, Okla., to Mound Bayon, Miss., and a dozen other exclusively Negro towns "where peace and smiling plenty reign." in which is the proof of Negro co-operation and capacity for self government we are made conscious of the fact that "Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, adorns and cheers the way."

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. AUGUST 7, 1914. SUCCESS AFTER HARD STRUGGLE BUILDS FINE SANITARIUM. Benefits of a Fixed Aim In Life Seen In Constructive Work of Ambitious Race Leader, Who Knows How to Get Results—Well Educated and Influential. Hot Springs, Ark.—The Knights of Pythias are indebted to Dr. Claude M. Wade for the Pythian sanitarium in this town, which was destroyed by fire about a year ago and which is now being rebuilt. Dr. Wade is in the front rank of active Pythians in this country and is to be found in everything that means the development and uplift of the race. He is a native of Huntsville, Ala., in which city he was born back in the early sixties. He held the foundation for a successful career in the Rust institute of Huntsville and at Clark university. It was in Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., where Dr. Wade took his college course. He was not satisfied with this, but felt that he could be of better service to humanity by taking up a profession. He entered the Meharry Medical college at Nashville, Tenn., in the dental department. He was an exceptional CLAUDE M. WADE, M. D. student and finished the course in 1888 with honors. But this was not enough, for in 1891 he graduated from the Louisville Medical college with the de- gree of M. D. His first work was done in Kentucky. He remained there a few years and decided to go to Arkansas, locating at the greatest health resort in the world. Hot Springs. He was not in this city long before his medical skill and ability were discovered by the people, and his practice began to increase. He enjoys today a large practice, and people have come to him from all parts of the country. To serve his race has been one of Dr. Wade's chief desires, hence he is found in every organization which is working in that direction. In every fraternal organization his effort has been to have them do something tangible for mankind. He declares that it is not enough to pay a little weekly sick stipend and bury the dead, but the living should be looked after and life prolonged. When a few years ago, he approached the Knights of Pythias with a proposition to purchase a bath house and sanitarium, the idea was condemned by many. Dr Wade did not give up, but pushed his claim until he got the co-operation of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. The movement was deemed a wise one and the sanitarium was purchased and put in operation. It was helpful to thousands of Pythians and the general public until destroyed by fire. It was decided to rebuild the structure and the work is now going on and when the sanitarium is completed it will be one of the finest of its kind in the country and the only one operated by our race. It is the only place where our people can go to in Hot Springs and get the benefit of the wonderful water. They are admitted to the government bath house, but it is necessary, for one to be admitted, to say that he is poor and not able to pay for the baths. Dr. Wade enjoys a lucrative practice, and has worked his way to the front. He is a factor in the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and enjoys a wide reputation as a physician. M. Att'y W. T. Francis of St. Paul, a leading factor in city, state, and national politics, was named as a member of the new Republican State Central Committee, at a meeting held in the Capitol last Wednesday. The appointment was made on a demand from the Star for political recognition for the race. Att'y Francis was a member of the City Central Committee of St. Paul. He was employed with Northern Pacific Ry. for 27 years, where he arose from messenger boy to the position of Chief Clerk of the Legal Department. He resigned to practice law after the death of the late Frederick L. McGhee, the famous lawyer. Att'y Francis is well qualified for this position and is recognized as the leading Negro of the Northwest, deserving of anything within the gift of the people. WELL MANAGED LIBRARIES. High Standard Set By Thomas F. Blue In Louisville, Ky. The work of the eastern and western branches free public libraries for colored people in Louisville, Ky., is conducted by Librarian Thomas F. Blue along the most approved business lines. The library staff consists of five persons, with three trainees. substitutes. The library conducts an apprentice class for those desiring to enter library service. Applicants must have a high school education or its equivalent and pass an examination to enter this apprentice class. The class puts in three months' actual work in the library in all departments before students are placed on the eligible list for positions on the staff. The work of the colored branch libraries of Louisville, Ky., is unique, and until recently there was nothing like it elsewhere. Assistants preparing for library work with colored people have been sent to Louisville from other cities for training. Louisville is to be congratulated on what she has done for the advancement of the colored people through library work, and Mr. Blue on the splendid manner in which he has carried out the policies of the librarian. Where the Color Line Is Not Drawn. Three colored men are members of the chamber of deputies in Paris. They are well educated and influential in the political affairs of their respective districts. M. Gratton Candace represents Gaudeoloupe. He is a scientist by profession. The other two deputies are from Senegal and Gaudeoloupe respectively. France never has drawn the color line, so it is said, and in parliament the Negroes are received on an equal plane. There should be no discrimination on account of race, color or creed among the citizens of any free country. Knights of Pythias State Encampment. The state encampment of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania held at Williamsport, Pa. from Sunday, July 26, to Friday, July 31, inclusive, was largely attended by members of the order from all parts of the state. The uniform rank was very conspicuous. The camp under the general supervision of Brigadier General Frank Sutton and staff was conducted along strictly military lines. The Pittsburgh delegation with members of the Courts of Calcutta made the trip to Wilmington art in a special train. Grand Commissioner B. G. Collier of Philadelphia has made a splendid record during his incumbency of that office. The supreme lodge and national encampment of the order will be held at Columbus, B. in 1915. CHAS. SUMNER SMITH Editor Smith will attend the National Negro Press Ass'n, at Muskose, Okla., on Aug. 17, 18, and remain about 10 days in the Southland.

THE SUNDAY FORUM. The Forum met last Sunday at St Peter's Church. The attendance was good. Opened with prayer, quotations from Emerson. A lively discussion was held on the payment of bills. The program was very good. Miss Beulah Douglass of Kansas City rendered two piano selections to the delight of the entire audience. She displayed a wonderful knowledge of technique and harmony. Miss Della Kennedy of St. Paul sang a solo which was very good. An instrumental trio, Miss Corinne Parsons, pianist, Joseph Quinn, cello, and Pres. Skinner, clarionet, surprised their friends by their first public attempt, which was very good. Current Events by Veassus Pope, Criticisms by Chas. W. Brown. Ex. Chaplain Wm. Jenkins thanked the Forum for their donation of flowers during his illness. Rev Toombs talked on "Social Uplift". He said "we will break up the hell holes," and told of his great achievements as a reformer. He said he could make the fight, and was not afraid because he lived a clean life. His talk was very good.

They consulted Matron Shaeffer, who will do what she can to locate Mrs. Harris in a proper institution. We asked Mr. Robert C. Marshall to take some interest in this case, as he saw the plight of the poor woman. His attention was given to more important business (?) of the New Moral Movement, i.e. the persecution of Shull. Mr. Allison, who is always active in such cases took the matter up with The Star. He claims this case to be the worst ever seen during his 20 years experience. Where are our women in such cases?

Flower and Tree. The magnolia has a more powerful perfume than any other flower. A fig tree in Spain, if in good, healthy condition, produces 150 to 200 pounds of fruit annually. An orange tree will sometimes produce 20,000 oranges, while a lemon tree seldom yields more than 2,000 lemons. In India there is a "burning tree," which imparts the same sensation as a burn when it comes in contact with the flesh. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. GAMBLERS IN COURT. Detective Hardin exposes police methods. He seeks immunity from graft charges. The blow-off may come in an indictment for Hardin. Should be dismissed from the force. Shull admits there had been gambling. There was a great array of witnesses—who were summoned by the state, (many never called) divers advisors and friends of Glover Shull, who was charged with maintaining a gambling house at 311 Hennepin Ave. Jno. L. Gibson, Harry Kay, and F. Sanford were charged with gaming. They had been caught by officer Hardin on Aug. 1st at 1:30 P. M., and were arrested. Shull was not at the place when this occurred. Hardin testified that there had been crap games and gambling card games at Shulls. during past 18 months. He demonstrated the game of Black-Jack as played with cards. Judge Montgomery asked if he was on duty at all times or part of the time. He said "at all times." "How often have you been in that place?" asked the court. "Several times a day for a year and a half," said Hardin. "And you have seen gambling there most of that time?" "Yes." "Why didn't you raid the place before?" "Well, it is the policy of the police department that a plain clothes man can see things a uniformed man could not see," Hardin answered. "When I was brought to headquarters as a plain clothes man a year and a half ago I was told the Negro clubs were to be allowed to run as they had run." "Then why is all this activity shown at this time?" quarried the court. Hardin said that he had been accused by the Morals Commission for protecting Shull, and told how the Captain had refused to raid on a previous occasion. He impressed on the Court that the place was reputed to be "a gambling house." Detective Welborn told of a thousand visits to Shull's where he saw gambling. He did not give the place a bad reputation, and told of the patronage and accommodations for waiters and porters and that gambling at craps had not always been conducted there. Fred Parkinson, a chauffeur, member of Anchor Hilyard Lodge of Masons, testified that he lost $20.00 at craps on July 15, he got $15 back on request, also that Shull paid his mother for his losses in a game last fall. Parkinson had gambled only twice at craps. His mother was at the trial. Shaw who has a suit against Shull testified of losses and assault. Atty. Hall made him admit that he had been released from Stillwater on Dec. 18, 1912. He claimed to have paid for his crime and had sued to recover money lost at craps. Sharp, 409 13th Ave. So., also testified he lost money and was "barred out." The defense showed he had left an unpaid board bill. Perry Ehler, (Billy Bounce) admitted he gambled and lost. When asked whether this was a gambling club, Billy said "all clubs are gambling clubs." Nick Price testified that he worked at Shull's till the games were closed about two weeks ago. He admitted that gambling had been conducted there. Jessie Lewis, who has a suit against Shull for losses at craps, said he got money on diamonds and said Chief Martinson sent Welborn with him to recover and he could not get them and he pawned a diamond ring with Chas. Hamilton and lost it. He said the place had a reputation as a gambling house. A white man who accompanied Hardin testified that he saw white men at Shull's also games with cards. His general appearance discredited his testimony, although he said Hardin saw and explained black-jack to him in Shulls. Allen E. Mercer, testified that he lost money at craps. He wears a Shriner's pin. Att'y Bert Hall made him admit that he had served 15 days in the works for impersonating an officer. Mercer is called "Hardin's stool-pigeon." He has been hanging around depots and does not work regular. He testified that white men gambled. Att'y Bernhagen motioned for a dismissal of the charges against Gibson, son, Kay and Sanford on the grounds that the State had not proven, that they were gambling. Motion denied. Gibson, Sandford, Kay, Wheeler and Wright testified for the defense. They admitted that cards was not played for money. The testimony was short and their appearance, as to character and dress was a great contrast to the state's witnesses. Glover Shull took the stand. He admitted he had conducted gambling and had told Detective Harding to arrest those caught at it. He had cut off such help and had closed down on receiving orders. He frankly stated that he received all revenue above expenses and told how the place was conducted, its appointments as to sleeping accommodations, food, buffet, and games for men only. No women enters the place, no back entrance, emplays 22 men, paid a monthly rental of $115. That it was incorporated under the above terms. He said he was not present when these men were arrested. That he would not swear they were not gambling as he did not know. That he did not gamble and did not stay about the place since the games were closed. The Court asked if he could not run the club without gambling and he said that he had and would. The Court took the case under advisement and would render a decision at 10 A. M., Friday. The trial lasted nearly all day. The state had several witnesses who were supoenied and not called. Messrs. Al. Moss, Edw. Boyd, Wm. Striman, and Chas. Hardin of the Rogers Hotel, tax payers and property owners were present to testify to the character of the Porters' and Waiters' Club, which they frequent daily between meals. They were not called as the defense had shown that it was not maintained as a gambling house. Att'y Albert H. Hall will defend Shull in the civil actions. Att'y Jno. F. Bernhagen appeared for Gibson, Kay and Sanford. City Att'y O.Donnell conducted the prosecution, assisted by Att'y Franklin. Shull may be given full extent of the law, and there are rumors to that effect, but if the club men have tried to frame up this game they will reap the same results. They all run gambling, and are equally guilty. ST. PAUL NOTES. Miss Lillian McCoy gave a Lawn Party this week in honor of Misses Cleo Hunton and Rena Branham.

SANFORD, Nic. 9226 SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION --- ```markdown ``` Defective Page effective Page SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION THE horrors of war have been brought home to thousands of Americans stranded in Europe. It is estimated that between 200,000 and 300,000 Americans, most of whom are well to do, though not wealthy, tourists are in the troubled countries for the summer. It is thought that about 75,000 schoolteachers and school children are in England, Scotland, Germany and other countries. These people are not poverty stricken, but many are stranded because of the falling down of the ordinary methods of exchanging paper for money. Letters of credit, checks and everything else of the kind, good under ordinary circumstances, have proved worthless since the war scare started. Cash is what is needed, and the problem confronting the United States is how to transfer money to those in need of it. Wild scenes were enacted in Paris and London. The first army of refugees fleeing from the French capital to London arrived hungry and travel worn, and penniless Americans by the thousands made pitiful appeals for help. Refugees from Holland, Belgium and France were in equally desperate straits. SMOKE THE BEST 5C CIGAR Sight Draft Most of those who arrived from Paris had lost all except their hand baggage. They told stories of hardships en route and painted an ominous picture of the plight of Americans left behind. Mrs. G. Jason Waters and her daughter were among those who arrived from Paris. The latter said: "We lost all our trunks, but are thankful to get away at any cost. The street porters charged 5 francs for slight service. "It was a pitiful sight to see hundreds of Americans outside the embassy seeking help. Women were crying, and men were frantic. They hadn't money with which to leave. The condition of Americans who are stranded in Paris is desperate. Something must be done quickly. Food is getting scarce." Louis Ralston of New York, who arrived at Charing Cross with his family, said: "I never wish to see such a scene again as the fight to get aboard the train from Paris. We were stopping at the Ritz and decided to leave Paris when we were informed that luncheon would be the last meal to be served there, as practically the entire staff of the hotel would have to reply to the mobilization call. The barber who shaved me in the morning said to me, 'I'll be with my regiment tomorrow.'" "I had no money except useless 100 franc notes and did not pay for our luncheon at the Ritz. We hurried to the Boyd Neel bank in Al Hayman's automobile, in which he intended to make a dash to Dieppe to get back to England. The bankers gave Hayman 500 francs ($100) for a £20 note, saying 'That's the last; we're closed.' "Just then Reginald C. Vanderbilt dashed in and cried. 'Give me 20,000 francs' ($4,000). 'We can't give you 20 centimes' (4 cents), was the reply. "We went out and found that Hayman's automobile, which he had engaged in France, had been commandeered by the military authorities, as were all taxicabs and auto busses a little while later. "We finally made our way to the railway station. We had to bribe porters and fight our way to the platform. The station was packed with hysterical, clamoring men, women and children. I had reserved a first class compartment for my party. When we got to it we found ten persons already there. The corridors of the train and the lavatories were packed. In our compartment was a lady in waiting to the queen of Italy. She was crying in fear of being shot at en route. "The train left hundreds of persons, as well as our baggage, behind. The baggage is registered. We had to abandon it, as did scores of others. The channel boat was crowded. Women lay on the decks, and men had to stand." An American woman, Mrs. Barnard Lintott, arriving in London from Etaples, France, said: "People are leaving there and are being told it is their last chance. Our plight was dramatic. We planned to get to Boulogne in time to take the boat to England. Unable to Obtain Tickets. "There was consternation when we reached the station; not a ticket of any description could be issued. The ticket offices were closed, and the station was given up to the army. "The last train for Paris had left the night before, and the luggage of the crowds who had departed had been left behind, blocking the station yard and even the roadway.

Other omnibuses brought their baggage. All were being turned back. One train only would come through the station before it would be entirely closed, and that was going for Boulogne within a few hours. "We held up the stationmaster and told him we would dash back to Etaples and Trepied and warn the American artist colonies there and urge them to get away on this one train. The stationmaster threw cold water on the scheme, asking, 'Have you return tickets for Boulogne? If you have and there is room on the train you may pass; otherwise it is utterly impossible.' "Few had these tickets. We saw automobiles piled high with baggage and crowded with wealthy Americans hurrying toward Boulogne. Women Show Pluck. "How to traverse that road quickly enough with their wives and babies and some sort of luggage made the married men form quickly into animated groups. Some girls had bicycles and planned like a flash to collect what they could and ride or walk eighteen miles along the dusty roadway to the coast in the hope of finding a steamer to take them to England. One girl paid $5 for a cart to carry her boxes. There was room for more if she and the others walked behind. The others gladly accepted. Few horses were left and fewer men left to drive them." Mrs. H. E. Hosley of Springfield, Mass., arriving in London from Berlin, said: "Our train was crowded with Americans. Many had come from Russia. I was three days making a one day trip. It was a terrible experience. Our train was held up three times, and everybody was forced to get out. We were herded in a corral while the military searched the train. "An American girl from the Black sea region had traveled three days without food or sleep. Unnerved by Hardships. "We were wrecks when we got here. The boat trip was pandemonium. Women and children were forced to sleep on deck." Dr. John MacHugh of Philadelphia, who has reached London from Paris, said that the railroad station there was guarded by soldiers, who wouldn't let any one through unless he had tickets. Many Americans were unable to get away because the railroads stopped selling tickets. The Rev. Dr. Fortin of Boston, who is among the London refugees, said: "Many starving Americans are walking the streets of Paris all night because they are unable to get checks cashed." Tourists' Problem Solved. But in spite of the hardships suffered by Americans now abroad indications point to their speedy relief. The state department at Washington has evolved a scheme for financing them. It will accept deposits of cash to be placed to the credit of Americans in Europe. Consular and diplomatic agents of the United States thereupon will be instructed to provide Americans with cash to the amount of credits deposited. If consuls are unable to secure cash to deliver to the Americans thus provided for they will issue a special certificate guaranteed by the United States government to be offered as legal tender. GIRL, 20, RULES LUXEMBURG Duchy Where First Blow of War Was Struck J. Small but Important Struck is small but important. By occupying the Duchy of Luxemburg Germany struck the first serious blow of the war. This operation opened up the famous Trou de Treves gap in the French fortified lines, which is approached by the Luxemburg railway. About this place apprehensions were expressed by military men in France a year ago. The Grand Duchy of Luxemburg is one of the smallest independent states in the world, with an area of less than 1,000 square miles, and its ruler, the Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide, is the youngest ruler in Europe. She is twenty years of age. The little duchy very nearly precipitated the Franco-German war three years earlier than it occurred, and it was declared a neutral state in May, 1867. Luxemburg lies on the high road from Belgium to Italy, between France. Belgium and Germany. Its population is about 250,000, but geographically and politically its importance is relatively great. The state is located partly in one of the richest iron ore fields in the world and produces about one-fortieth of the world's total output of iron iron. A German Island War Chest The German government has 120,000,000 marks (about $30,000,000) stored away in its "war chest" in the famous Julius tower at Spandau, an island at the confluence of the Spree and Havel rivers. It is a secret horde, known in Baedeker as "the Imperial military reserve fund of £6,000,000." PROTECTION FOR MASSES IN WAR People at Home Saved From Its Atrocities. AMERICAN CODIFIED RULES. Document Which Lincoln Promulgated Resulted In International Action. Undefended Towns Safe From Bombardment and Pillage—Belligerency Explained—Citizens' Rights Defined. A war between the great powers of Europe, says the New York Times editorially, would not visit its atroctures upon the 396,000,000 souls that compose the vast British empire, upon the 180,000,000 of Russia, the 92,000,000 of France and her colonies, the 65,000,000 of Germany, the 50,000,000 of Austria-Hungary and Italy's 32,000,000. The mass of these 800,000,000 people and their property are protected by the rules of modern warfare. The principle of these rules had its most notable enunciation from the lips of Talleyrand, who in 1806 begged to remind Napoleon that the business of war should be confined to professional fighting men, to soldiers; that it concerned states, not their subjects or citizens. The honor of codifying the rules that protect the noncombatant majorities of civilized nations belongs to the United States. Francis Lieber in 1862 drew up the code for President Lincoln, which he immediately promulgated as "General Orders No. 100" for the conduct of the Federal forces in the civil war. From this sprang the international convention of the Brussels conference in 1874, and the two Hague conferences reaffirmed the convention, adding restrictions to the field of combat. The chief safeguards lie in respect for family honor and rights, the lives of persons and private property, which cannot be confiscated, and for religious convictions and practice. When Inhabitants Are Belligerents. Only if the inhabitants of a territory spontaneously take up arms to resist invading troops and "carry arms openly" are they to be regarded as belligerents. The attack or bombardment of towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are not defended is forbidden, and pillage of captured towns is prohibited. An army of occupation can seize only the cash, funds and realizable securities that belong strictly to the state, and only the means of transport, stores and supplies and all movable property possessed by the state that may be used for military operations. Appliances for transmission of news or for the transport of persons or things may be seized, even if they belong to private individuals, but must be restored and compensation fixed when peace is made. The citizens of a hostile nation cannot be compelled to fight against their country, and their rights cannot be declared abolished, suspended or indmissible in a court of law. The poisoning of wells, discharge of projectiles from bulloons, the seizing of submarine cables and destruction of monuments and works of art are specially interdicted. Prisoners of War Safeguarded. But war between actual belligerents is also much circumscribed. They cannot declare that no quarter will be given. Elaborate safeguards are made for the rights and humane treatment of prisoners of war. The Geneva convention permits the comprehensive activities of the Red Cross in the care of the sick and wounded on both land and sen. Unusually cruel weapons are proscribed. Towns must be amply warned before siege or bombardment, and occupied territory may be compelled to supply only the actual needs of the invading army. All these rules were ruthlessly violated in the conduct of the Balkan wars, as the recent report of the international commission to inquire into their causes shows. The Balkan states are not fully civilized. War provokes savagery, but, says the editorial in conclusion, a war involving the great powers would be fought with due restraint. Call Reservists From United States Germany and France have recalled from the United States all their military reserves. Through their consuls in various cities they are summoning their sons of arm bearing age to the colors. Great Britain's order that all naval reserves in the United States should report immediately for duty with the colors affected several thou sand members of the royal naval reserves connected with the British mer- cantile marine, in addition to perhaps 1,000 others who are engaged in busi- ness in this country. Will Be Short War. Says Experts. Will Be Short War. Says Experts. Opinion among American military experts and army officers interviewed by the New York Herald is that the conflict in Europe will be one of the short wars on record. It is remarked by these war students that the triple entente on land and sea outnumber the forces of the triple alliance and the scientifically built military structure of the German empire will be taxed to be limit. United States army officers predict that hostilities will last only a few weeks. ```markdown ``` Furnish Your New Home at BOUTELL'S NOW is the best time for you to start your home, to pick out GOOD MERCHANDISE AT ABSOLUTELY FAIR PRICES WE OFFER SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS TO YOUNG FOLKS GOING HOUSEKEEPING and TAKE SPECIAL PAINS TO PLEASE THEM NOW is the best time for you to start your home, to pick out GOOD MERCHANDISE AT ABSOLUTELY FAIR PRICES WE OFFER SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS TO A woman in a dress and hat is arranging items on a shelving unit filled with various kitchenware and food containers.

The honor of our life derives from this: to have a certain aim before us always, which our will must seek amid the peril of uncertain ways. Then, though we miss the goal, our search is crowned with courage, and along the path we find a rich reward of unexpected things.—Henry van Dyke 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 though the heavens fall. And the only way to administer justice absolutely and impartially is by the measure of the Golden Rule. Just shift places. Place yourself in the other fellow's position and then treat the other fellow just as you would have the other fellow treat you, or as you would be treated under similar circumstances.—Atlanta Independent. Our Life Purpose The formation of purposes in life is a serious thing. We ought to form purposes now that will satisfy us throughout all eternity. Purposes that reach no farther than the little span of our own life are insignificant and dwarf the soul. But purposes that extend beyond the fleeting period appointed to us in this life and that open out into a glorious unending existence will enable and entrance the soul.—Selected. RECOGNITION. We have made strenuous attempts to secure political recognition for Negroes. It has been that we were told that those menial jobs, such as assistant janitors, etc., covered the political dispensation to the race. As often before stated we made a fight for recognition in the high up councils of every party. The members of the Republican State Central Committee, who remembered the work of the Star and its Editor, took up this matter. We were asked to name a man, and we offered the name of Hon. W. T. Francis of St. Paul, who is known to every Negro of the State and respected by both races. Att'y Francis had not given the idea any thought, and he was placed on the State Central Committee as a member-at-large. We feel that this is worth mentioning, because it is one of our greatest services to our race and our friends. We thank the members of the committee for this recognition of the Negro as a political factor. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. READ OUR ADVERTISEMENTS. DEFECTIVE HARDIN Why should Detective Harding arrest Shull, and actually permit gambling at other Negro Clubs? Why did he get so suddenly active and conscientious of his duty (regardless of police orders) to make this ONLY arrest? Why could he not exercise his duty as an officer when the Negro Morals Commission, which he double-crossed, had trusted him to better these conditions last fall? He knew that Stewart's Club did a great business of craps the night Shull's place was closed down. He knew that Hamilton, whom Atty. Franklin has sworn to knife, in any business he attempted, conducted Shull's game. He knew that the suit of Hale against Hardin placed in Franklin's hands matter about graft that would not stand investigation in his favor. He knew that the Marie Green case in the Reporter has been accredited to his information. He knew that he assisted Lewis to get money on his diamonds to gamble at Shull's and elsewhere. He knows that Franklin called him by force after the (Franklin) had tried to secure a warrant against Shull for at least two months. He knew that when the Clubs were running full blast that he was the most familiar and the most ordinary person who visited them. He knows that he has not told enough about everything to make trouble for the others. He knows whether or not he has profited by his police power. He told the Minneapolis Brewing Co.'s agent that Smith of the Shull had "written him up" and he named threats for intimidation. He knows that he is a door-mat to the Star Editor, who does not live off gamblers' or policemen's co-operation. The Editor of the Star never makes petty touches from anybody—always pays for what he gets at any club, and he visits Shull's place very often with other desirable citizens. Hardin attempts to alibi, but he is wrong, and it will show. His appearance shows it. He tries to apologize for his actions. He knows that gambling has existed in ALL clubs since he became a detective. He knew that he travelled with Lt. Hamilton whose dismissal was based on evidence of these visitations. Hardin has taken his son and two white men into a Negro club. He has become known among the underworld as the "Black Mayor." He knew why Editor Smith would not accept campaign funds, where Hardin was connected, (We give no protection to law-breakers.) He knows that his contemptible actions have brought the illwill of the entire police force. He is not today on good working terms with his partner. He knew that every witness he put on the stand was a gambler who had squealed, or was interested in a suit against Shull. He knew that he dragged decent old women in court to hear their son testify that he was a squealing gambler, and they were not called to testify. He dared not put a witness on the stand to represent the Negro Morals Commission, when many of the new denominalized gang of thieves were present and that Editor Smith, the organizer and secretary of the organization, (which made a fight against Ed Stewart's place and all clubs) was also present and could show that they did not represent anything but a commentary on decent citizenship. Harding made a desperate effort to make a case. At this writing the decision is under advisement. We do not care about the results. If Shull is wrong he should suffer, but Harding should not go un-noticed. He is unfit for the department. He may be indicted by the Grand Jury if the rumors about graft are proven. He attempts to unload on his superior officers. He issued the Chief's regulations which were published in the Journal "that women be kept out of clubs, except where meals were served." No gambling to be allowed.—Closing at 1 P.M." These were accepted by the people. He saw them violated directly on their issuance. Never before made an arrest, but Franklin aroused his sense of duty when he showed him the "key to Stillwater" and entered him as a candidate. Franklin had done one good thing in his fight. He has placed Hardin before the public, and we want nothing less than his star, if we can't get it he may have this Star. He has attempted to intimidate us, but we care nothing about him. We do not loiter around loose women and attempt to regulate vice. A newspaper man covers every territory often to his dislike, but we enjoy the pleasure of publicity, without traveling incog. Can Hardin show why he should remain even among the people of this city as a plain citizen after violating his oath of duty as a public servant. He won his nomination as a Candidate for "endurance vile" and the people may elect him. The Star secured the position for "Bobby" Marshall as State Grain Weigher, after a long fight. Bob is making good. TWIN CITY STAR A FRATERNAL TRAVESTY. G. U. O. of O. F. Treasury Depleted. We are appalled at the statement of facts covering the present condition of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows contained in the editorial in last week's Atlanta Independent under the caption "THE TRUTH IS THE LIGHT." Can it be possible that the greatest fraternal organization among our people in the world must be sacrificed to satisfy the lust for power and office by one individual, Edward H. Morris, of Chicago, the present Grand Master; a man who has had his nose in the trough of the organization for more than a quarter of a century; who has had all the honors and their accompanying emolutions that it was possible to get by means that were fair and some that were foul, and who now appears to be determined to hold his present office for life, or ruin the greatest opportunity that the Negro has for good in organized effort. We are surprised to learn the condition to which Morris has reduced the Odd Fellows during his past four years administration as shown by the following paragraph from the Atlanta Independent's editorial: "Our information is that the Treasury of the Sub-Committee is practically depleted. The administration is not able to meet the legitimate expenses of the order. It has not only wiped out the $40,000.00 surplus received from the Houston administration, but it has spent the entire receipts for the four years, and is not able now to meet its obligations. Now this is the truth. We know about the annual receipts of the order, and either Morris' people have collected this money and spent it, or it is owed by the subordinate branches. It is up to the administration to show who is indebted by itemized statement to the order for legal obligations. But the public cannot expect an administration that holds its life by force to economically or wisely spend their money, so it is evident, and obviously so, that it is not the cost of the Supreme Court that wiped out the Houston surplus and depleted the treasury." We read from subsequent paragraph in the Independent that the Supreme Court has been a rather small item considering its worth, as compared with the expenditure of over $150,000 to run the Odd Fellows Journal to secure delegates to the B. M. C., at Boston. We met the Supreme Court when in St. Paul to codify its laws. The principle of government of the Odd Fellows is the same as that of our National Government. Those who are affected by decisions from all Supreme bodies are always for their overthrowal. Hence the Court should have many enemies. We have heard Hon. W. R. Morris, and Hon. W. T. Francis of our city praise the Supreme Court, and tell of its accomplishments, and to our recollection the Court was instituted by Grand Master Morris, with Ben. J. Davis of Atlanta as Chief Justice, it was believed that Davis and Morris would exchange positions at the last B. M. C., at Georgia, but the slate was broken. Morris refused to step out and he adjourned the convention without an election, holding his position by powers invested. His brother did not approve his action. The affair was a disgrace to the order and the white newspapers gave it wide publicity. But whether the Court is necessary or not, where is that money? If Boss Ed. could go to Georgia and hold his own, we fear he can go to Boston and re-elect himself even if by confusion, and abolish the Supreme Court. Edward Morris is King of the G. U. O. of O. F." and the King can do no wrong; but the divine right of kings has caused some trouble in Europe recently as well as in olden days. We hope not to have razors drawn at this B. M. C. If so interest of G. U. O. for Grand United Order, we suggest D. D. D. for Dann Divided Disturbance, if these tactics prevail in the future. Let the principles remain Grand; its members United, and the Order of Odd Fellows the most constructive organization of Negroes in the world. Editors Ben Davis can do effective work with those X-ray editorials, and his "good old Georgia" delegation will keep the Atlanta Independent as their official organ. Two Points of View. "American women spend more money on clothes today than they ever spent—and very much more than they should spend in many cases," said a Fifth avenue modiste. "A $200 dress worn by the wife of a man whose income is, say, $100 a week, looks unbecoming and extravagant. One of my customers, wearing for the first time an imported robe trimmed with skunk, said to her husband, with whom she was walking: "More likely,' her husband replied sourly, 'they wonder if I've been embelling.'" -New York Tribune. VICE—NOW AND THEN. We approve of the police regulation of vice in our city, and endorse the action of Mayor Nye and Chief Martinson of the city police department also Sheriff Langum and County Atty. Robertson of Hennepin County. Vice among Negroes is segregated and we do not believe that these officials accept any income from present conditions. If there is graft it stops with the primary grafters. The Mayor has placed the entire inspection of Negro clubs under Detectives Welborn and Hardin, both Negroes. White detectives never enter Negro clubs. We know that this discrimination is sharply drawn, and should be because these are incorporated Negro clubs, and it is better to have gambling controlled by honest and efficient officers, than have it scattered in alleys and private dwellings. The Twin Cities can boast of being free of private crap-games. This statement is true because of the existence of clubs. It is regretted, however, that some proprietors of clubs where women go, continue to hold to "craps," as their main support. Women do not see these games but they are conducted in the building. Few clubs, high or low, exist where men do not gamble. One man, if he is a gambler, has as much right to do so as an other, whether in dress suits or overalls, the game is the same. We hold no brief for gamblers, prostitutes or drunkards. We believe in the suppression of vice, which will never be eliminated. Neither do we tolerate those who hazard and holler when they lose. We stand for fairness. Men of every walk in life visit these clubs, which are patronized according to classification. We shall take a different stand when Negroes, who do not patronize clubs, will attempt to secure a social center for their race. Not a Jim Crow Y. M. C. A., promoted by reformers with itching palms, but settlement houses, where all respectable persons may enjoy its conveniences. Some have been recently started and the support given them was "nothing but talk." Now that the Vice and Graft question is prominently before the people something should be done. We pay no heed to those, who elect themselves as divine and consecrated, or those who have so instantly reformed, but we believe that there are liberal-minded, honest men, who tolerate the faults of the weaker under present circumstances, and who would assist a clean movement to make better environment for them. During our newspaper life in this city, we have never attempted such movement, because every suggestion has brought forth an eager approval with an application of the solicitor's job. Everywhere we go among business men they tell us that they meet few Negroes who are not soliciting for charitable institutions. But this game is being blocked. We should have race pride enough to finance our affairs. The Negroes of Boston recently gave a sum of many to the Boosting Fund, that is why they are a factor. We need honest men do "do things." Enough money has been collected here to build a battleship and we have nothing to show. We should ask nothing of the Civic and Commerce Assn., but better housing conditions, and the health and building laws will soon give us these. The home-training of children and the protection of the rising generation should be the slogan of the race. Let the parents be always true examples for their children. Train your daughters to be wives and your sons to be husbands. We will then and always have clubs and gamblers, buffet flats and prostitutes, but also a greater percentage of well regulated homes and respectable young men and women. We stand for these things and will not tolerate any persecution of any club-men, by those who have selfish interests. It is more honorable to speculate on the roll of the dice or the turn of a card than to propagate a reform movement under the guise of "moral uplift" when the principle motive is to handle somebody money and to steal the greater portion of it. 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.' We are often asked "How can I send my subscription." We get all Post Office Orders sent us my mail.
