Brief Account of Some of the Achievements of President Joseph A. Booker of the Arkansas Baptist College in Little Rock—Successful Educator, Organizer and Leader. Little Rock, Ark. — Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college in this city, is not only teaching the young men and women of the race the doctrine of self help, but is at the same time getting into their hearts and into their very being the lesson of the survival of the fittest, so that when they leave the school they are prepared to make good in any avenue of industry into which they may enter. Dr. Booker himself is a living example of the doctrine he preaches and teaches, because he started at the bottom floor, so to speak, and worked his way up to the presidency of one of the largest schools conducted by the race in this section of the south and is foremost among the race leaders of the country. He was born during the days of slavery and at the close of the war was of school age, having reached his sixth year. He is a native of Portland, Ark., and was reared on the farm. He learned his "A B C's" in the town of Portland at an early age. Having obtained a good foundation for an education, in 1881 he entered Roger Williams university. Nashville, Tenn., and remained there until he had finished the college course in 1886 and returned to his native state to accept the work of colporteur under the joint appointment of the state Baptist con- DR. JOSEPH A. BOOKER. vention and the American Baptist Home Mission society. In this position he made a good record and won many friends. His ability as a leader of men and a great organizer was demonstrated, and he was selected to the presidency of the Arkansas Baptist college. At the time Mr. Booker was elected president of the school it simply existed on paper and required the services of a man to bring it into life. This has been accomplished, because the institution today ranks with the best of the country. During its real life the school has graduated 250 students. There are men and women from the institution making good in and out of the United States. Dr. Booker has dedicated his life to the work of education. His family, consisting of eight children, have been born in and about the college, have received their fundamental training there, and three at least have attended other colleges and universities for special work. In making up the faculty for this year care has been used in selecting some of the best prepared men and women available. They come from some of the best schools in the country. Miss Grace J. Thompson, A. B. a graduate from Shaw university, will be the instructor in Latin: Professor J. F. Jones, A. B., Th. B., of Roger Williams university, Bible and history; Professor M. H. Eldridge, a graduate of the Arkansas Baptist college, will teach Greek and higher mathematics; John A. Hibbler, A. B., is secretary to the president and has charge of the commercial branches. These are but few of the able men and women who will do the work during the year. There is a first class music department connected with the college. At the head of this department is Miss Mattie A. Booker, daughter of the president. Miss Tecumseh Morris of Corsicana, Tex., was admitted to Oberlin college on the recommendation of the Arkansas Baptist college. The following letter was sent to President Booker: "We are in receipt of certificate filled out by you to show Miss Tecumseh Morris' preparation in the Arkansas Baptist college, and I beg to report the acceptance of full rank in the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. There are no entrance deficiencies." Franklin A. Lovelace is in the University of Chicago. Dr. Booker is assisted in his work by his wife, who is also a graduate from Roger Williams university. She has charge of rhetoric and English literature. TASK FOR THE NATIONS. Ray Stannard Baker's Plea For Human Brotherhood. Ray Stannard Baker in a recent issue of the American Magazine has the following to say about prejudice of one race against another: "Why will men not see that there can be no true civilization while any man in the world are left out of it and that no race and no nation can go far forward while other races and nations lag behind? "Let the white person again tread the black person under his heel! (Say, which is trodden under heel after all)? "It is not enough that we give the alien nations our learning, our religion, our science. What signify all these things? Are we hurt by giving them? Are we not, on the contrary, the material gainers? No; we must be prepared to go further than that, else we have not learned the fundamental concept of religion. "It is not the great task of any nation that it shall remain pure or white or learned or that it shall assure to its posterity the possession of land and comfort, though this has been the belief and the doom of every aristocracy from the beginning of time. The great task of every advanced race or nation is to bring more love, more light, into the world. "A stand for racial aristocracy means war, hatred, barren exclusiveness and finally degeneration and failure; a stand for racial democracy and brotherhood means love in the world. friendliness, sacrifice, new fertility, a wider sweep for faith and final triumph. Individuals may suffer in the process, nations may perish, but civilization, the kingdom of humanity, will grow, will become more beautiful. "We are willing to do everything for Chinamen or Hindus or for our own poor, except the one essential thing. Yes, educate them (a little); yes, teach them the religion of resignation; yes, give them shoes and coats, but do not disturb us in our luxury. "It won't work; it won't work. So long as we refuse to give ourselves we have failed utterly." An interesting book A French marquise whose country house is crowded with guests during the hunting season hit upon the original idea of placing a register at the disposal of her visitors in which to record their desires and criticisms. The pages of the richly bound book soon began to be covered with notes such as: "Count de R. still owes 25 louis. He knows to whom." "The green peas yesterday were burned." "Baroness M. flirts—unfortunately not with me." The marquise has withdrawn the register. Malta Fever. There is no connection between Malta fever and yellow fever. Malta fever is peculiar to the island of Malta, where it has been endemic for an indefinite period. It also is known as "rock." "Mediterranean" and "undulant" fever, and in the vernacular of the natives as "slow," "dust" or "goat" fever. It is believed to come from the milk of goats.—St. Louis Times. Won Every Time.

AUTHOR AND LEADING POET Contemporary and Friend of the Late Paul Laurence Dunbar Receives Genuine Recognition From Men of Letters—Believes In Possibilities of His Race and Is Optimistic. Philadelphia. - Perhaps since the death of Dunbar no other Afro-American writer has been more successful in placing his literary productions in high class white magazines and daily papers, as well as in our leading race publications, than the Rev. James D. Corrothers, D. D., of this city. Dr. Corrothers is the only colored minister in the entire history of the race who has had his productions accepted by the Century Magazine, to which he has contributed for sixteen years. His poems have appeared in the same numbers and on the same page with those of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar. In November, 1912, Dr. Corrothers was chosen by the Century's editor as the race's representative in poetry in a special number of the magazine in which Dr. Booker T. Washington represented the race in prose, Henry O. Tanner in painting and Will Marlon Cook in music. Three of his poems appeared in that issue of the Century, editorial comment being made upon the work of these four members of the race, in various lines. In the American Magazine for March, 1914, appeared an illustrated short story by Dr. Corrothers entitled "At the End of the Controversy." His recent sketch of Dr. C. Albert Tindley, the popular hymn writer, and M. E. pastor of Philadelphia, sold 1,000 extra copies of the Associated Sunday Magazines, in which the sketch appeared. But little of Dr. Corrothers' work is in dialect. A poem of his entitled "The Dream and the Song," which appeared in the Century last January, was extensively copied by both white and colored papers. The Philadelphia Press referred to this poem as "classic," and published a column sketch of the author with his photograph. Before entering the magazine field Dr. Corrothers was a newspaper man, having "done space" on several daily papers in Chicago. He has also done occasional work for daily papers in New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis. He is the author of two books and has contributed frequently to race publications. He is the only Negro who has ever had a whole page article appear in aropolitan daily and has had his poems and stories illustrated by such famous white artists as R. F. Outcault, the creator of "Buster Brown," and Frank Schoonover. His story, "A Man They Didn't Know," published in two numbers of the Crisis last winter, was widely discussed by race leaders. He has now in press a new volume to which an introduction has been written by Ray Stannard Baker, associate editor of the American Magazine, and author of the noted book, "Following the Color Line." Though not at present engaged in an active pastorate, Dr. Corrothers is an ordained Baptist minister and the grandson of a Baptist minister. He was born in Michigan forty-five years ago and was educated in Northwestern university and in Bennett college. He was a personal friend of Dunbar and of the late Miss Frances E. Willard; is an athlete and has always been a total abstainer. He has organized and built one church and has rebuilt two others. He believes in race development and in a ministry of service rather than in one of mere emotion. He has never allowed his literary work to interfere with his work as a minister and pastor. He is blessed with a wife and two sons. Mrs. Corrothers ranks with the leading pianists of the race and is quite successful as a music teacher. In view of the great demand at the present time for men of Dr. Corrothers' type in the active ministry, it would not be surprising to hear of his being called to fill the pulpit of some Baptist church before very long. Dr. Corrothers' home, at 600 North Thirty-nine street, is the mecca for literary and musical personages. By close attention to duty and by his pleasing manners he has won many friends, who admire him for his ability and manly bearing. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. A. H. RACE PREJUDICE NORTH. Roscoe C. Giles Barred From Course In New York Medical institution. New York. Another case of flagrant and unwarranted race prejudice has come to the fore in this city. Roscoe C. Giles of Brooklyn, a Cornell graduate and a student of medicine at the Manhattan Maternity hospital and dispensary, has been requested by the directors of the institution to resign from the course of instruction for which he contracted and paid for. Young Giles, who is twenty-four years old and has an excellent record in the Boys' High school, Brooklyn, and Cornell university, is said to be at the head of his class in Cornell Medical school and will receive his degree in 1915, provided he completes his course, one of the requisites for the completion being the care of six maternity cases. It was for this purpose that he registered as a student in the Manhattan Maternity Hospital and Dispensary. He paid the tuition fee, received his instruments and went daily to the institution, but was not assigned to any case. He complained to the medical board of the hospital, but was not definitely informed until Saturday, Sept. 10, that he would be requested to withdraw. The request came in the form of a copy of the letter sent to Dr. Richard Aurel Brown, secretary of the medical board, by Lewis Islin, secretary of the board of directors. It is as follows: Dr. R. E. Brown, Secretary Medical Board: Dear Sir-At a meeting of the board of directors the following resolution was passed: Resolved, That the action of the medical board in requesting Dr. Roscoe Cline window from the hospital be approved and that his fee be returned to him. LEWIS ISELIN, Secretary Board of Directors, Maternity Secretary Board of Directors, Maternity Hospital and Dispensary. The only explanation of the action that could be obtained by the young man, and even that was of an unofficial nature, was that his white associates objected to him. One of the young man's associates is his classmate, a young man named Buchstein, who has been a frequent caller at Giles' home and often dined there. so it is said. The Manhattan Maternity Hospital and Dispensary is an institution chartered by the state of New York and is supported by private contributions. Many prominent New Yorkers were among the original incorporators, including Cornelius Vanderbilt, Frank L. Polk and Moses Taylor. The young man's father, who is an attorney, refused to say what action he would take in the matter, although he proposes to fight "to the bitter end." He claims that the institution has made itself liable to a suit for damages. The National Association For the improvement of Colored People has interested itself in the case and will conduct an investigation and advise regarding action to be taken. Congressman Metz of Brooklyn, who is interested in young Giles and assisted him in obtaining his education, wrote to the institution in regard to the matter, but without result. Mad Time Enough. Barber-Hair's going gray, sir. Little Binks-Expect it is. Haven't you nearly finished? Segregation by Legislation a Failure Speaking editorially of the recent segregation ordinance in Norfolk, Va., the Journal and Guide, an influential weekly of the above named city, asks and answers this question: Was the discrimination made because the Negro is not an economic factor in the Ninth ward or because he is not a taxpayer in the ward? No! The Negro pays taxes directly on over half a million dollars' worth of property in the Ninth ward. The discrimination was made because the Negro had no voice at the seat of power. Segregation by legislation will not help this situation, but will intensify it. LIFE STRUGGLES AT MOUND BAYOU COURAGE OF CHARLES BANKS Municipality Founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery and Inhabited Solely by Afro-Americans Experiences Severe Blow to Its Business Enterprises. Many Financial Difficulties. Mound Bayou, Miss.—If one should come to Mound Bayou, the queen city of Negro progress, in high expectation of finding sorrow or tears or bitter words for such evil days that have come and gone one would find "mone sich." But one would find hope, and plenty of it; heart, and to spare; money to move the crops, and everybody lined up with the allies against the boasting Hun. Also Charles Banks would be found at home, sincerely set in the esteem of the community, and Isaiah T. Montgomery, whose statesmanship planted this fascinating retreat, still full of optimism and philosophy, bidding Banks to be of good cheer. Of all Mississippi towns Mound Bayou is happiest. Here the word is that the enemy striking at the Negro necessarily strikes at Mound Bayou first. When the Bank of Mound Bayou of which Charles Banks was cashier and founder, after eleven years of triumph, weathering every financial storm, was closed by the banking commissioner on Aug. 19 for liquidation, the papers made something out of it, but not much. The citizens of Mound Bayou made nothing of it, for the bank had built the town, invited the wonderful industrial development of the community, saved to the black owners the fertile lands and added an acreage of 30,000 and had been the accommodating fiscal agent of the believers who came from every direction to help in the triumph of the great black city against scorners and scoffers all around. The people understood. A week later, when the insurance commissioner appointed a receiver for the Masonic Benefit association, the pioneer Negro insurance company, of which Charles Banks was secretary and treasurer, the daily papers, following "information handed them by fraternal politicians," printed many rumors calculated to lead toward unfairly judging Mr. Banks, but the people of Mound Bayou and all the people of Bolivar county were not disturbed. Mound Bayou knew that that blow was not aimed at either Banks or Banks' town, but rather at the Negro fraternities of Mississippi—the mobilizing centers of all Negro efforts. Lord have mercy on the hindmost! The Bank of Mound Bayon was closed during Mr. Banks' absence. The examiner announced that there were no irregularities in the management of the institution, but that he was not satisfied with the character of the securities representing the bank's collateral. He held that the securities were Negro securities, representing Negro industry and Negro enterprises and for the most part covering the progress of the Negro town, and that when they were realized upon they would be covered by Negro money. Therefore for his purposes and according to his rule they were not worth while. Since beyond the banking department of the state of Mississippi there is no appeal and since the examiner exercises rights no man can dispute, there was no course open save to let the examiner have his way. Good luck to him on his travels! The examiner found $40,000 in deposits and $9,000 in cash, every dime in its place in the figures, every dollar on the books and every cent belonging to Negroes. Many a bank lives on and breathes easily in the certain security of that kind of margin. But they are not in Negro towns, nor do their cashers fill such big places in the affairs of the state. The Masonic Benefit association was for many years the heart and pride of the Mississippi Negroes. It has been Cont. to page 2, col. 5. MRS. HALEY'S LECTURES. MRS. HALEY'S LECTURES.

No. 50 PREPARED FOR BUSINESS. Important Work of A. T. Glover In the Banking Line. Muskogee, Okla.—The race is making rapid progress in this section of the country. This is being shown from time to time by the men who are making good and who are filling positions of honor and trust. In this class belongs A. T. Glover, who fills a unique position in the business life of this city. He was born in Wichita, Kan., Dec. 7, 1880. He received his early school A. T. GLOVER. training through the public schools of his native city. His progress in school was very rapid. With a desire to be self supporting, when sixteen years of age he accepted a position in the National Bank of Commerce in his home town as messenger boy on a salary of $3 a month. It was not so much the salary as it was his desire to learn something about the banking business, if given a fair chance. Realizing in part his splendid opportunity, no attention was given to the meager pay, but he worked hard every day and was always on time. He did not idle away his time in having what the boys called "a good time," but took his rest at night and gave full satisfaction to his employer. The result of this faithfulness was that at the end of two years his salary had been raised and his responsibilities correspondingly increased. He advanced from messenger to individual book-keeper, and at the same time he assisted in various other kinds of clerical work, including meeting with the clearing house force each day and making reports to R. G. Dun & Co. and Bradstreet's Mercantile agency. After several years' work on individual ledgers Mr. Glover was made reconciling and statement clerk and held this position until August, 1912, when he resigned his position and took up work with a large advertising house at Louisville, Ky., and remained with the company one year. As there is always a demand for a competent man in business, it is not surprising that young Glover was placed in charge of the affairs of the People's Bank and Trust company at Muskogee, Okla. In this position he made many friends and rendered excellent service. He was in a position where his real work and worth could be observed, especially by those in charge of the Oklahoma banking department. When the bank closed Glover was retained to assist in checking various accounts which amounted to about $00,000. The assets were given to him for collection, and in this position he worked hard every day. He is well posted in the banking business and is a credit to the race. More Stock Raisers Needed. In his address before the National Negro Business league at Muskogee Dr. Washington emphasized the importance of stock raising among Negroes, and deplored the fact that in several states there was a sorry minimum of Negro stock and poultry raisers. However, many will be surprised to learn that engaged in the animal husbandry there are 10,296 men and women of the race. Texas Has Another Weekly Newspaper. The Texas Sun, a new weekly paper, has made its appearance at Terrell, Tex. Until Messrs. Slaughter and Polk began the publication of the Sun there was no paper in east Texas published by Afro-Americans. We wish the new paper long life and its promoters a successful career in their efforts to advance the cause of our people in the Lone Star State.

Mr. Martin is well known here and "Kid" Martin's will be the place to go, when he announces his opening. He has leased this entire modern building and will conduct a first class rooming house.

Roberts and "Jock Simms" were the promoters of the meeting Tuesday night of which it was said by many to be the largest held here since the days when Hon. Frank Wheaton "could get the boys to answer to his call" We are glad that the Negro voters are awakening to their political interests in the city, Four years ago Mayor Haynes had a majority of 35 votes over Mr. Satterlee. Think of this in a city of then 310,000. The present County Atty. is grateful for the Negro votes received at last election when he won out by about 350 votes. The Congressional candidates of the 4. 5 and 10th Districts are dependent on our suffrage, and we are a great factor in state and national elections, regardless of our small population. The Twin City Star is directly responsible for this awakening, because of the issues of the Mayorality campaign among the Negroes, but later on we will get down to higher political ideals. And to think some Negro leaders have been sitting idle and taking money and honor for their supposed prominence and undelivered vest-pocket votes. Now that there has been a demonstration of the number of voters, it is more important that every Negro will register and vote as a man for the candidate of his choice, and not for a commercial consideration. Another Nuisance. Ex. Rev. Malone is rather annoying by his actions at political meetings. We wish Mr. Malone would show his apparent respect in a better way. We want no valets or servants for political candidates, and they do not like that kind of noise. Mr. Malone would do well to remember that he is a Negro, and others may be held responsible for his actions. Hon. Fred. D. McCracken, Secy. to Cong. Stevens, arrived home Thursday eve. from Washington, D. C., to visit his family. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. SPECIAL NOTICE. Princess Oziel Chapter No. 45 cordially invites the Ladies of Queen of Sheba Chapter No. 70, St. Paul Chapter No. 29, and Pride of the West Chapter No. 30, to attend the reception tendered Grand Matron, Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley on Tuesday evening, October 6th at 8 P.

Mme. Brown in Recital. Mme. Anita Patti Brown appeared to an appreciative audience last night at Pilgrim Baptist Church. She received much applause on every number, especially "Shadow Song"—Myerbeer, "Suwanee River," "Mad Scene," Donnizeti, and "Last Rose of Summer." She was ably assisted by Miss Amy Belasco, accompanist, a native of the West Indies, who gave a travelogue on The West Indies, which was especially interesting. Miss L. O. Smith of Minneapolis appeared in a Shakespearian reading from Othello, and scored her usual success. Mr. Hugo Williams rendered a Barytone Solo. Mme. Brown will sing at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Sunday morning. This is her first appearance in St. Paul and she will return another season for a recital in the Twin Cities. Those present expressed their highest approval of her ability as a noted singer. DEATH OF ROBERT SEHON. Many friends of "Bob" Sehon were shocked to hear of his sad end on Sunday, Sept. 27. He was found dead by Miss Mamie Anderson at his apartment on Hennepin Ave., death was due to heart failure. He had been under constant care of Dr. Brown for many years. Mr. Sehon was employed as steward in one of the exclusive white clubs of the city. He was well liked and his services were almost indispensable to his employers. Funeral services were held Thursday morning at Lawrence's Chapel, attended by his closest friends. Rev. Carter spoke from the 25th Chap. of Matthew. A solo "Face to Face" was sung by Mr. Jno. H. Allison. Mrs. Blanche Oliver, organist. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Denny of Cleveland, a sister and brother-in-law of the deceased attended. The floral tributes were from Miss Mamie Anderson and The Porters' and Waiters' Club. His remains rested in a very expensive gray broadcloth open couch casket. They accompanied the body to Clarksburg, W. Va., for burial. Robt. W. Sehon was born in Clarkburg, W. Va., in 1866. He spent several years in Cleveland, O. Came to this city several years ago, where he was very successful in employment. He was very conservative in all his dealings, took special pride in the welfare of his relatives and was in every way trustworthy. Two sisters survive him, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Yancy of Maple Plain and Miss Anderson were among his nearest friends here, and they also mourn their loss. Undertaker Lawrence conducted the arrangements. A CORRECTION Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley will Lecture at St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Paul on Thursday eve. Oct. 8th, instead of Pilgrim Baptist Church on Oct. 9. Remember the date. Prof. Weir of St. Paul has nearly recovered from injuries sustained when run down by an automobile. Mrs. M. W. Judy is visiting her aunt, Mrs. S. Washington at Carbondale, Ill., from there she will go to Cairo, Ill., and Paducah, Ky., to visit other relatives. A Noted Educator. Prof. Chas. H. Moore of this place has been elected principal of the colored graded school in Reidsville. Prof. Moore did not seek the place; the officials sought him, telling him that he had been recommended by a number of educators of both races and others in Greensboro. Of course he will fill the position with satisfaction. What one's townsfolk think of a man is worth more than any thing else. Prof. Moore has lived in Greensboro over thirty years and is of course well known. The Reidsville school people have made no mistake.—Greensboro Herald, N. C., July, 1014. Prof. Moore is known in the Twin Cities. He is the father of the wife of Dr. J. H. Redd and spent several weeks visiting with them. He is an able man—and made many friends while here. As an educator he ranks among the best. The people of Reidsville will profit by their selection of Prof. Moore. Reserve your space for Excursions, Picnics and Dances.

Upon the death of Bishop Lampton, the greatest of all masters in his day, the association was placed in the hands of Charles Banks. Banks thought he knew his people; he was certain of his ground. After the affairs of the association had been placed in his keeping he found that he had taken over an indebtedness of $250,000. For three years he struggled against tremendous odds, and only when a whole sea of trouble arose to engulf him was he willing to surrender the Masonic Benefit association into the hands of a white receiver, and yet before the fatal day Banks had paid out nearly $300,000 to the widows and orphans and had cut the indebtedness from $250,000 to less than $100,000. He was the only man in Mississippi who could have done that. Master Masons knew it. The new law in the state of Mississippi dealing with the operation of judgments was too much for the Masonic Benefit association. Banks found it impossible to meet the judgments and pay all new claims on assessments collected, and the end came. He had postponed it four years. In due time there will be another bank in Mound Bayou. Already the people are asking Banks to build a new one on the glorious ruins of the old one. The Bank of Mound Bayou is but one among more than 100 in the state of Mississippi that have fallen before the new banking law, and the Bank of Mound Bayou more nearly stood the test of the law than any that fell, and even successful bankers doubt that it should have fallen at all. There will be another Masonic benefit association in the state. The name, of course, will be changed and rules and regulations necessarily altered, but the Masons will care for the wives and children of those fallen on the walls. Charles Banks will lend it the force of his amazing resourcefulness. The Masons will call him to the place he long held against the common foe because of all black men he is the most capable for the task. Upon winding up the affairs of the M. B. A. the receiver. Hon. S. D. McNair, made a speech to the force. He said he found not even the slightest irregularity in the accounts or management of the office, and the office handled approximately $150,000 a year. Mr. Banks, he declared, had done better under the circumstances than anybody else had done and ought to be praised and not blamed. It was Banks who built the $100,000 oil mill. It was Banks who made the $10,000 ice plant a fact. His genius formed the great mercantile company here, in which he is the largest stockholder. The bottling works and steam laundry are children of his brain, and the beautiful Carnegie library that decorates the town is the result of his sleepless activity. As he has brought triumphs, so he has become the bearer of all the burdens. Critics and fault finders aim their arrows at his head. The mistakes of the community are laid at his door, and the shortcomings of others are added to his great responsibility. Howbeit, he is a big man, wears a smile as deep as the Mississippi river and hates dodging. He knows how to take his medicine. THE J. E. SPINGARN MEDAL Announcement of Conditions Upon Which It Shall Be Awarded. Dr. J. E. Spingarn offers to furnish annually a gold medal not to cost more than $100, and to be awarded for the highest or noblest achievement by an American Negro during the preceding year, upon the following terms and conditions: The board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People shall select five persons, who may or may not be members of that board, as the committee of award, and this committee shall have full charge of the awarding of the medal, and its decision in regard to all matters connected with the medal shall be final. Preferably at the annual conference on the Negro, held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, this medal shall be awarded, with appropriate ceremonies, to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, and the committee of award shall decide for itself in each year what particular act deserves the highest acclaim, and nothing in this section shall be understood to limit their choice in any way to any one field, whether that field be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. The committee of award may withhold the award of the medal in any year if no achievement seems to merit an award, and in that event the committee may employ the money so withheld for the creation of one or more medals in the following year or years, to be awarded as a second, third or other prize in accordance with the same principles. The committee on award consists of Bishop John Hurst, chairman; Hon. William Howard Taft, Dr. James A. Dillard, John Hope and Oswald Garrison Villard. AN AGENT WANTED We need a good hustling agent.

Pettiford, President of Alabama Penny Savings Bank, Passes Away in Birmingham. Birmingham, Ala., September 20. Dr. W. R. Pettiford, founder and first president of the Alabama Penny Savings Bank, president of the National Negro Bankers' Association and one of the foremost Negroes of the country, died tonight after an illness of eight months. Heart failure was given as the cause of his death. With nine other Negroes Dr. Pettiford organized the Alabama Penny Savings Bank twenty-four years ago and through his efforts largely, it has been developed into the largest and strongest Negro bank in the country. The bank in Birmingham is the central one, with branches in Selma, Anniston and Montgomery. On account of Dr. Pettiford's ill health he retired from active participation in the bank's affairs and since April the affairs have been directed by J. O. Diffay, acting president. A NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY Several years ago St. Paul and Minneapolis could boast of a dozen Negro stenographers in each city, both male and female, employed in white business houses and corporations. Marriages, removals and promotions have now reduced the number now employed to about three in each city and yet the opportunity is just as great for our boys and girls in that line as it ever was, but no one appears to be taking advantage of it by preparing themselves for the work. Some of our business and professional men say that they would like to have but cannot get a Negro stenographer. Apparently there is a great opportunity in the Twin Cities for employment as stenographer in business places among both races. The Star has been informed by many of those who have been employed as stenographers that the question of color never interfered with their employment in any way but that it was merely a matter of efficiency. The young people of the Twin Cities should not overlook an avenue of employment that has been open to them for years and which may be closed to them if they continue to neglect it. "State Forests Day" Proclamation. Whereas the last legislature passed a measure known as "No. 9, the State Forests Amendment," providing that such state lands as are better fit ted for growing forests than for farming be set aside and be managed by the state as State Forests; and, Whereas Amendment No. 9 is to be submitted to popular vote November 3rd, it is worthy of careful consideration by everyone interested in the public welfare; and, Whereas this measure will affect particularly the public school fund, it is deemed fitting and proper that the subject of "State Forests" receive particular consideration in our public schools. Therefore, Wednesday, October 28, 1914, is designated as "State Forests Day", to be observed in every public school with appropriate exercises and discussions upon the subject of State Forests in their relation to the public well-being. A. O. Eberhart, Governor. C. G. Schulz, Supt. of Education. A CORRECTION. Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley will Lecture at St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Paul on Thursday eve.

TWIN CITY STAR HON. WILLIAM E. LEE Republican Candidate for Governor. FOREMOST THE PRESIDENT Large Crowd Shows Interest in Campaign, W. E. Lee Endorsed for Governor. About 300 Negro voters attended the opening meeting of the campaign last night at Pythian Hall, 8th Ave. So. and 4th St. They were addressed by Mayor Nye, County Atty. Robert-Smith, Rev. D. E. Beasley, Hon. Smith, Rev. D. C. Beasley, Hon. Adolph W. Herder, Hon. J. G. Lennon and Mr. Albert Bastis. The meeting was called to order by John Simms, temporary chairman, who in a few words told the purpose of the call, which was to "get-together for our political interests," and to endorse the administration of Mayor Wallace G. Nye. Rev. E. J. Edwards opened the meeting with prayer. Mayor Nye made a lengthy address, explaining his attitude on the "club question" which has been an important issue during his administration, and his attitude toward the Negro Morals Commission. He said that "I did not close the clubs of some to make profit for others. If you are of the opinion that from the experience I have had in my position, that I am entitled to re-election; I ask your support. But if on the other hand; you believe I have not done my duty; you should defeat me. But I am confident in the belief that you appreciate that I have done my duty and I shall be grateful for your support." He outlined his policy as to the affairs of the city, showing that we are fortunate to be living in one of the best governed cities and the most prosperous city today in the world. Rep. Westlake, who is known by nearly every Negro, spoke of his friendly relations to them, and of the discriminations against the race. He said that "class-hatred was the greatest evil and the cause of the present and other great wars. Speaking of moral uplift he said "You cannot legislate goodness into men, you must educate them." Atty. Robertson in a short speech asked the votes of his friends on his record. He said "that he was not worrying over criticism, but attending to the duties of his office." Atty. W. T. Francis of St. Paul, a member of the State Central Committee, spoke on behalf of the Republican Party, and urged the voters to see it in this state that we elect a Republican whenever we can and especially that we protect our interests at Washington by sending a Republican to Congress. Atty. B. S. Smith said, "The practical thing for a man to do is to disregard the criticism of a candidate, but to regard his general attitude to a black man. He discouraged the idea of commercial politics, and severely condemned the Negro who sells his vote—advised them to get out and register and to exercise their right of suffrage as men. Mr. Albert Bastis, candidate for alderman in 6th ward, made a strong talk against county option, also outlined his position as to municipal government. Rep. Herder made a short talk. Rev. Beasley presented a resolution endorsing Hon. W. E. Lee for Governor. Chas. Sumner Smith spoke on the adoption of the resolutions and defended county option, on the right of the people to rule, a fundamental principle of our government. Hon. W. E. Lee was endorsed unanimously. Mayor Nye, Co. Atty. Robertson, E. J. Westlake Adolph W. Herder and Albert Bostis also received the unanimous endorsement of those present. A permanent organization was effected—named the Negro Voters' League Chas. Hamilton was elected president and W. M. Scott, secretary. Now is the time to take advantage of the low prices and the best locations, as we have a number of clients who are forced to sell, since the war has begun, and will make terms to suit you. I have a number of 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 room houses that can be bought with as low as $100 and $150 down, with easy monthly payments. FOREMOST IN BUSINESS. How Mme, G. J. Walker is Helping Women of the Race. Boston.--Among the noted business women from a distance who attended the recent session of the great convention of Odd Fellows were Madam C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., and Miss Lella W. Robinson of New York. Both women have won distinction in their chosen line of business and have opened up opportunities for other women in various parts of this country, the West Indies, Bermuda and Cuba, to enter the business arena. Madam Walker believes in the doctrine of self help, for she has worked her way up from the plantation in the south to a place in the front rank of the race's business women. She is always ready to encourage and assist those of her race who are industrious and who are willing to make a sacrifice of pleasure in order to better their condition. She is actively engaged at the present time in building out of her income a school in Africa. She also gives liberally to the various charitable institutions of Indianapolis and has recently given five scholarships to students at the Tuskegee (Ala). institute, of which Dr. Booker T. Washington is president. It is said that the number of women whom Madam Walker has made it possible to engage in businesses of their own is 2,000. She attends a large number of the big conventions held by our people, both religious and secular, and is therefore well known among those who are doing things worth while. Editor Dubois of "The Crisis" did not mention the meeting of the Newspaper men, Bankers, Lawyers and Undertakers at Muskogee last August. They are prominent organizations and met during the session of the National Negro Business League. He knows they were in bad company on account of Dr. Washington's endorsement of segregation. That is so; but they are worthy of mention. It is strange how a learned man can be so narrow, and it is conceded that education broadens our minds. He is certainly one unfortunate exception and hence we sorrow. Dr. Geo. W. Nelson, the druggist of St. Paul has often been criticised because of his white employees. He has given every Negro who applied an opportunity to prove his ability and will continue to do so. It should be considered that the greater part of his trade is from white patrons. We should not expect Negro business-men to disregard their patrons and we should buy from them for value received. Dr. Nelson is doing well, conducting his store along business and not color lines, and he will invite failure, when he listens to a few disgruntled Negroes, who should know that he has a right to so conduct his business, and they have the privilege of whom they patronize. Success to Dr. Nelson, who delivers the goods, and let the kickers dictate to a white man about his management.—Will they? Never. We should be proud to see such harmony among the races, instead of segregation and other discriminations. TO POLITICAL CANDIDATES. Our columns are open to all for political advertisements. We express our views editorially and are not responsible for paid advertisements. We have and always will maintain a clean policy and do not use the Twin City Star as a personal publication, but as a legal newspaper published for the best interest of all. We guarantee no votes, but attempt to present the issues of the campaign and the record of every candidate, to our readers fairly and impartially. Advertise in the Twin City Star the only legal Negro paper in the city and you will reach the mass of Negro voters and many of the white ones. DR. SHAW ASKS INFORMATION FROM THE ANTIS. Mrs. Arthur Dodge, the President of the National Anti-Suffrage Association, has of late been criticising the suffragists for raising money to carry on their work, especially for making the "Melting Pot" appeal for old gold and silver, to help win the western campaign. Mrs. Dodge pronounces the suffragists selfish, and other "antis" have urged that in these dreadful war times, the suffragists should devote themselves exclusively to Red Cross work, whereupon Dr. Shaw inquired with interest as to whether the anti-suffragists were planning to close their own Headquarters, stop publishing their "Protest" and call back their speakers from the Campaign States. But at last accounts, the anti-workers were still in the field. Why is it that people, who never subscribe to a paper, always want to have their personal news in its columns? The struggle for today, is not altogether for today; it is for a vast future.—Abraham Lincoln. A Big Little Man. False Race-Pride. ```markdown ``` NOW is the best time for you to start GOOD MERCHANDISE AT ABSO WE OFFER SPECIAL INDUCEM YOUNG FOLKS GOING HOT TAKE SPECIAL PAI at time for you to start your home, to pick out HANDISE AT ABSOLUTELY FAIR PRICES SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS TO FOLKS GOING HOUSEKEEPING and MAKE 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 YOUNG FOLKS GOING HOUSEKEEPING and TAKE SPECIAL PAINS TO PLEASE THEM FORTY YEARS of making COZY HOMES for the people of Minneapolis and the Northwest is the REASON why we ask you to let us START you out RIGHT.

He has recognized the right of the majority of the people to rule. 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. He has accorded to Negroes the same privileges of amusement and recreation as granted to other nationalities. AT THE CLOSED GATE OF JUSTICE. To be a Negro in a day like this Demands forgiveness. Bruised with blow on blow. Still must one succor those who brought one low, To be a Negro in a day like this Demands rare patience—patience that can wait To be a Negro in a day like this. To be a Negro in a day like this Demands strange loyalty. We serve a flag Which is to us white freedom's em- phasis. Ah! one must love when truth and justice lag. To be a Negro in a day like this. To be a Negro in a day like this— Alas! Lord God, what evil have we done? Still shines the gate, all gold and amethyst, But I pass by, the glorious goal unwon, "Merely a Negro"—in a day like this! —James D. Corrothers in The Century. ARISTOTLE ON WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. "But what difference does it make whether women rule, or the rulers are ruled by women? The result is the same." So wrote Aristotle in his "Politics," about 2200 years ago, and here we have been deceiving ourselves into thinking that woman suffrage and the whole question of women taking part in the government is modern, whereas the Greek philosopher's discussion proves that it agitated society long before Christ. It is worth noting that Aristotle did not admit the possibility of any arrangement whereby women would not have an influence on affairs, of being the actual rulers in fact. In his opinion, they will either rule directly, or rule the rulers, and "what difference does it make?" What! indeed. Perhaps our suffragist friends will tell us. —St. Paul Dispatch.

Red Wing, Sept. 28.—The keynote speech of W. S. Hammond, Democratic candidate for governor of Minnesota, which was given before an immense crowd in the Red Wing opera house tonight, was featured by a challenge to the Republican candidate, W. E. Lee, to name the public officials which Lee charges have been dominated by brewery or other special interests. If there are any such officials, Mr. Hammond said, they must be in the Republican party, which has had nearly all the offices and of which Mr. Lee now claims to have the united support. The challenge came near the end of a speech in which Mr. Hammond had stated his views on a number of state P. A. W. S. HAMMOND. issues. He quoted the statement made by State Auditor Iverson in a speech last March that "An unseen power has raised up in our midst a keen and resourceful dictator with unlimited dictatorial powers; he assumes political leadership, dictates who shall or shall not become candidates for even high offices; assumes dictatorship over public policies and directs what legislation shall or shall not be enacted by the representatives of the people in legislature assembled." He also quoted the statement by Mr. Lee, candidate for governor, in his Marshall speech, who said: "Topping all other issues in importance and far-reaching consequences, is the question of 'forcing the brewery out of politics.' It is a question of whether this colossus shall longer be permitted to dictate the environment of your wives and mothers, your sons and daughters; dictate your candidates and officers, your legislation, your taxes, and even your right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Calls Charge Serious. "This is a charge that heretofore the brewery has been permitted to dictate candidates for offices, the officers themselves, and legislation," said Mr. Hammond. "If this dictator has been served by some of the high officers of the state of Minnesota we ought to know who the high officers are, for the corrupt servant is no better than the corrupt master. "Since 1899 there have been four governors of Minnesota. John Lind is my personal and political friend; John A. Johnson was my personal and political friend, and I deny that either of them was a tool of any corrupt dictator. The other two are Samuel R. Van Sant and Adolph O. Eberhart. The first was on the platform with Mr. Lee and spoke in his behalf at Marshall; the other was not present, but Mr. Lee took occasion to say: 'I thank Governor Eberhart for his published assurance of support for the ticket; and I desire also to thank the large number of Governor Eberhart's supporters in the primary campaign who have tendered their support. Today the party stands united upon advanced ground.' "Surely Mr. Lee cannot consider these gentlemen with whom he is now united, brewery servants," said Mr. Hammond. He next named the six leutenant governors since 1899, and asked "Have any of these been dominated by this dictator? They are all Republicans, and Mr. Lee assures us that all factional strife within the party is ended." In similar manner he named the secretaries of state, the treasurers, the state auditors, the attorneys general, the railroad commissioners, the speakers of the house, all Republicans, then continued: Indict Own Party. "Now, ladies and gentlemen, if the statements made by Messrs. Iverson and Lee are true, and a dictator has control of high offices in this state and of legislation, whom does he control? Do these gentlemen realize that they have presented a most terrible indictment against the party organization to which they belong? If these statements are true how could Mr. Lee in his same speech speak of 'The affection and high regard which one and all bear in common with a great majority of the people of the entire state for the one organization which through more than half a century of its history as a state, with but two brief interruptions has guided its affairs and shaped its policies to the present natural development of the state and the consequent welfare of its citizens.' is that it is in political sections of the state of nearly everything advocates and opposes option may be found, patriotic and u and there may also serving, ambitious, sons who seize upon ment as a conver which to ride to office in the fight for print in the fight for book however, may come agitation, whether "He charges that while Republicans have held all the executive offices of the state and had a majority in the legislature, this dictator has been permitted to control the affairs of state, to select its officers, and to determine its laws, and then rejoices upon 'the natural development of the state and the consequent welfare of its citizens. "Now are these charges made simply to present a dark and terrible background that the whiteness and purity of the present candidate may be all the more resplendent because of the contrast: are they extravagant fancies based upon little fact; or are they true, to the disgrace of some of the persons I have named and the party which has tolerated them, and to the humiliation of the state? Special Interests Active. "No doubt there are special interests in this state which have in the past, and will in the future, seek to obtain advantages through favorable legislation and lax execution of the laws. These advantages are often called 'special privileges.' "Besides his high character, broad intelligence, and intense patriotism, it is his constant and successful warfare against special privilege in any and every form that has made the people of the United States, irrespective of party, stand for and with the president of the United States—Woodrow Wilson. "Special interests we have, and we will continue to have them, but when special interests attempt to secure special privileges unfair or to the injury of the people of the state, it is the duty of every public officer to stand like a rock in opposition—unyielding and firm. It is not always the easiest thing to do; a powerful adversary may be overcome but not without leaving scars upon the victor; but they are scars of honor. Sneers and slander are not agreeable things to confront, but the conscientious public servant will do his duty regardless of them; he will not himself be dominated by brewery interests or special interests, and when convinced that high state officers and whole legislatures are so dominated he will not hesitate to denounce them and point out to the people of the state those who have betrayed their trusts." Urgee Nonpartisan Primary. In his address Mr. Hammond first discussed the nonpartisan primary, now applied to judges, county officers and legislators, and said "there is no reason why the governor of the state and the other elective state officers should not be selected in the same manner." Under the present law, he said, legislators can no longer answer criticism by pleading party loyalty. In the past, he said, the governor has been not only the chief executive but the party leader. The next governor will not be the party leader for there will be no party to lead. He should not therefore discuss party policies in his messages to the legislature, he declared, but should give special attention to those questions that have to do with the management of state affairs, its institutions and its public domain, its employees, revenues and expenditures; its relations to other states and to the federal government, and the enforcement of its laws. On County Option. Mr. Hammond discussed the question of county option at length, making it plain that he would sign such a measure if one is passed by the legislature. He closed by reading the county option paragraph of his letter to State Chairman A. L. Sortor, read at the meeting of the Democratic state committee in St. Paul Sept. 9, in which he said: "At present there is local option, and much sentiment in favor of substituting county option in its place. The legislative campaign this year is being made largely upon this issue. No member of the next legislature elected by a county option constituency and standing as a county option candidate will vote against it, nor will one representing a community opposed to county option and standing as a local option candidate vote for it. Whether there will be a change in the unit or a continuance of the present system will be determined by the character of the next legislature, and it will be, in effect, decided as soon as the election returns are known. No recommendation of a governor will make a man pledged to support county option vote against it, nor one pledged to oppose, vote for it. The voice of the people is mightier than the voice of a governor—when they speak legislators must listen, and the governor as well, and both how to sovereign authority. In November, then, the electors themselves will direct the course to be taken, and that course should be followed by the members of the state legislature and by the chief executive." Some in Fight for Booky. "By some it is said 'This question has no place in politics.' The answer is that it is in politics, and in some sections of the state to the exclusion of nearly everything else. Among the advocates and opponents of county option may be found earnest, thoughtful, patriotic and unselfish citizens, and there may also be found self-serving, ambitious, adventurous persons who seize upon popular sentiment as a convenient vehicle in which to ride to office. The first are in the fight for principle, the others in the fight for booty. Much good, however, may come from temperance agitation, whether the question be in politics or out of it. So long as these discussions continue the evil of intemperance will not be hidden, it will stand out in all its hideous deformity to the scrutiny of the public, it will shrink and wither until finally it will all but disappear. It may be overcome by legislation; it may be overthrown by public sentiment without legislation." Must Reduce Taxes. Mr. Hammond discussed the increase of state expenditures and the growing tax rate and said: "We must keep up the state institutions. We must provide all the money necessary for the state to carry on in a good and proper manner its many functions. But we cannot go on as we have been going—increasing our expenditures and burdening the people of the state with excessive taxation. "In 1905 the state expenditures were between eight and nine millions of dollars, in 1912 between fourteen and fifteen millions of dollars, in 1913 eighteen and one-half millions. Think of this just a moment: Approximately an increase of $6,000,000 in the seven years ending in 1912 and a further increase of $3,000,000 for the year 1913, and probably a greater increase for the year 1914. Taxpayers are complaining of the 1913 levy paid this year—the 1914 levy, to be paid next spring, will probably be greater." The plan for the reorganization of state departments proposed by the economy and efficiency commission appointed by Governor Eberhart was discussed by Mr. Hammond, who said that "The high taxation of today cannot continue, the expenditures must be lessened, and here is a rational and well-thought-out plan to promote efficiency and economy." He commended the portion of the commission's report urging a civil service system, but warned against the danger of creating an officeholding class. "The inefficient, as well as the efficient, claim life tenure of office," he said. "This may be avoided if at the very beginning appointments in the civil service are made—not for life, but for a definite term of years—say six years. The efficient and capable would be reappointed, while the careless, indifferent and inefficient should not be reappointed." Mr. Hammond also approved the proposed budget system of making appropriations. State Land Policy. Discussing the state land policy, Mr. Hammond said there are many strong, ambitious and industrious people who would gladly buy state land suitable for agriculture, but who have only limited means. They must have land which will bring quick return he said, and the state should undertake to improve these lands so that they would attract purchasers who would settle upon them. He said he was in full accord with the proposed amendment to the constitution for a revolving fund for the improvement of state lands. Such state lands as are unfit for agriculture should be planted to forests, he said, and also advocated acquiring, gradually, privately owned lands which are unfit for agriculture, and making them into state forests. Mr. Hammond discussed the Lake Superior and Mississippi canal, declaring that the plan "promises exceedingly great value to commerce." He took up the federal swamp land grant, a condition of which was that the proceeds be used for reclaiming those lands, and the claim that this condition is violated by the constitutional provision that the proceeds of the lands must go to the schools and state institutions. He declared this a matter of grave importance, to which the governor should give particular attention. Opposed to Use of Veto. Discussing the veto power, Mr. Hammond pointed out that the next governor will deal with a nonpartisan legislature. "Surely," he said, "if any representative body can be assumed to represent faithfully the sentiment of the state, that body can. Suppose a subject, for instance county option, or a universal primary, with which the people are fairly familiar, is considered by this nonpartisan legislature and a bill covering it approved by both bodies; in such case ought the governor—whatever his own personal views may be—interpose a veto? I think not. The veto power is intended, to check hasty and ill-considered action, or to challenge a measure clearly unconstitutional or one involving a radical change of policy upon which the people have had no opportunity to render judgment. But when the majority of the people determine upon any matter of public policy in a way that is not contrary to our fundamental law, it is the duty of all legislative and executive officers to carry out the mandate of our highest authority." The extension of the elective franchise to include women will sooner or later be submitted to the people, Mr. Hammond said. The Democratic party, he said, has always favored the initiative and referendum and we may look for its early incorporation into the laws of the state.
