Twin City Star

DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST. PAUL ective Page VOL. 4 Single Copies 5 Cents the work done, of buildings, of cuts, of culled quotations—all seem designedly used to mislead a public ignorant of the true relations that exist here and of the true work and workers. For example, the fact that the financial office of the C. N. and 1. department is combined with that of the superintendency is due to no one's personality. It was so fixed by law some time ago, as was the bond to be given, and it has obtained for years. The sum mentioned as given in the last four years by the state includes moneys appropriated before that time for building purposes, but not available until later. We are proud of our senior cottage, arrangements and appropriations for the building of which were completed some years ago by the state, but one would infer from the writer's article that Emery hall was also a creation of the department he eulogizes. This is not so, however. The funds-over $50,000—were raised by the efforts of the president and friends, and this dormitory for the girls of the college department is the one especially considered by all authorities to be the "most completely equipped dormitory to be found anywhere in any Negro institution." The military wing of our university, a cut of which embellishes the article in the Crisis, is a department that any institution may be proud of, but it is no creation of the department picked out for special laudation, as those unacquainted with the facts might regard it from the connection made. The United States government is pleased to maintain it here still under the best of Negro instructors, paying all expenses, and has recently appointed Leutenant B. O. Davis of the Ninth United States cavalry for the second time to take charge of it. The paragraph referring to enrollment is garbled so as to present a false idea. Figures certainly have no inherent power to falsify, but they may be made to say anything. Our enrollment for 1913-14 was 493. We do not pad our rolls. But there was no such increase as 10 per cent in any department to the knowledge of the president or the faculty. We have increased our enrollment yearly, we are pleased to say, and this increase has been most largely from without the state (over 300 last year), and the greatest per cent of increase anywhere is found in the college classes. The state of Ohio helps Wilberforce university by sustaining a department which has been gradually built up since 1887 through long years of labor and earnest work of those in charge. We are gratified at this confidence shown by the state in our entire work. We hope for more help. It is true, however, that the college needs funds. So does every institution for higher education in the land. It is no crime to need money. It is an easy matter, however, to sit down and spend money under direction or without it when one does not raise his hand to get it, but no recipient of such favors should congratulate himself upon unusual ability because of this condition, nor should he use the situation to "crow over" or to hurt any department which has to hustle to gather funds from philanthropy for its work. With such an attitude and similar statements from overzealous friends (? Wilberforce university is apt to be more hindered than helped in its work. It can well exclaim, "Good Lord. deliver us from such friends." More Stock Hairlers 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. DR. SCARBOROUGH DEFENDS SCHOOL EXPLAINS TRUE SITUATION. Unwarranted Attack on Noted Ohio Institution Greatly Displaces Alumni and Undergraduates — Wilberforce University With All Departments is Simply One Institution. Wilberforce.—The indignation of Wilberforce university and a large body of alumni and undergraduates at the article under the caption "The New Wilberforce" found in the Crisis for August compels a reply, though we well know that unsigned articles anywhere usually merit only silent contempt unless the editor gives a tangible hold by becoming sponsor for them, says President William S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university. In such an article we are accustomed to seek at once the motives inspiring it. In this case we are wondering whether it was inspired by a malicious desire to strike the college department in particular, to bittle what it has done and injure its standing and work for higher education, or by a piqued spirit which sees an opportunity for retaliation, or by a spirit which thus repays personal favors through questionable eulogiums, or was it real, unadulterated ignorance steeped in egotism? We must leave it for readers and those generally acquainted with the situation to judge. One thing is true, however. No one is a real friend to the university or to any of its individual departments who would strive thus publicly to magnify the work of any one department at the expense of another. And for any one to cull deliberately, isolate and twist facts to make it appear that there is but one department at Wilberforce that is worth while and to try to convey that it is not a part of Wilberforce. but a distinct school, is, to speak mildly, an unmitigated attempt to slander the whole institution, no matter what the motive. It becomes an attack that cannot be overlooked. Wilberforce has done much recently to honor the scholarly editor of the Crisis, and it has always stanchly uphold the cause and the association his magazine represents. Not three months ago it invited him to be one of the speakers during its commencement, and it readily acquiesced in his selection as one of the lecturers in the summer school (for the second time) in the department he eulogizes at $175 for five lectures. Wilberforce university is indeed courteously (?) repaid for this by the grateful editor. One thing we state at the outset. The "New Wilberforce" has been a verity for some years. It is Wilberforce university—the whole institution with all its departments and not simply one of them. No part can be greater than the whole. The determination of enemies, internal and external, to try to swallow up, to ignore, to mrepresent the very department that is the genesis of the whole, giving birth to all the others and fostering their growth, the part that stands for higher education—this determination all authorities here are agreed must not only be condemned, but put down. The department the article in the Crisis seeks to put for the whole and which calls forth such effusive praise was placed here by the state of Ohio in 1887, because it wished to help Wilberforce university, and this was the only way it could do so, and because it was just and right for it to be of service to us as we did not receive a share of the agricultural land grant under the Morrill act, which properly belonged to us, but which share went to Ohio State university. It was never intended to be an independent department, and it is not one now. The authorities, one and all, recognize that Wilberforce university with all its departments is a unit and not a conglomerate—a unit with but one head, and that one the president of the university. The article in question is full of distortion. Facts are partially stated or omitted or put in wrong relations. The jumbled confusion of statements of 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.

OCTOBER 9, 1914. Rev. Carey strongly Protests against Race Discrimination in Religious Institutions. Noted Pastor writes an Open Letter to Secretary of Young Men's Christian Assn. Chicago, Ill., October 6, 1914. Mr. Charles Sumner Smith, Editor Twin Sity Star, Minneapolis, Minn. My Dear Sir; I am pleased to learn that you are opposed to the movement to start a separate Y. M. C. A. for colored people in Minneapolis and I trust that you will continue to stand against it. You have good colored churches in your city and it seems to me that each church could do some social settlement work and look after the young folks and that would be better than the dangerous experiment of starting segregation which may end disastrously in the end. The Federal Government has started segregation among the government employees at Washington, and many Southern cities are establishing ghettos, so it is well to look askance at every suggestion of segregation, even if it comes in the guise of "spiritual uplift." I enclose a copy of a letter I recently addressed to Mr. L. Wilbur Messer, Secretary of the Central Y. M. C. A. of Chicago asking for truth and light in relation to the treatment of the segregated members of the organization. You are at liberty to print the Letter or to use any of the arguments advanced as your own in fighting segregation in Minneapolis. [Missouri] I know that God will bless you for that you are doing against seg- fregation. OPEN LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CENTRAL Y. M. C. A., Chicago, October 1914. Mr. L. Wilbur Messer, Chicago, October 1914. Secretary, Central, y. M. C. A. Illinois, My dear Slr; I have been greatly interested in the controversy about the Y. M. C. A. ban on smoking and my interest was intensified by the new rule which was published in the Chicago Tribune, the statement that the 'test' of membership in our own city of Chicago Association is good moral character. It is a surprising statement in view of what I have heard concerning the Y. M. C. A. I have been told by young men of unimpeachable character that they have been owned by the Y. M. C. A. simply on account of color. I also know of the establishment in various parts of the country, including our own city of Chicago, of branch Y. M. C. A. the purpose of providing them of the duty of protecting them from their fellow human beings as if they were lepers and unfit to mingle with Caucasians, Indians, Mongolians who are gladly received into the Central Y. M. C. A. and its many branches. I have also heard that any human being who is the member of any branch Y. M. C. A. is not only daily received into the Central organization, unless he happens to have more or less blood in his veins. If I have been misinformed regarding conditions I desire to be set right and I would like to kindly answer the questions I shall ask: If a German, I mean an alien, who has not been naturalized, desired to become a member of the Central Y. M. C. A. he be compelled to connect himself with the German branch, regardless of his wishes in the matter? Would a Polish railroad man, employed by the Grand Trunk railroad, who lived in the North side branch, the North side branch, the organization and perhaps another branch and go to Eladen to become a member of the Grand Trunk branch association, or, use his own judgment in the matter. If a colored man living in the downtown district desired to become a member of the City Council would the authorities compel him to waste an hour to go four miles to the colored branch on Wabash avenue and 85th street? Are the City Council of the colored branch Y. M. C. A. identical with those of members of other branches? Are they as cordially received by the City Council? Is the Street, and treated with the same consideration as other nationalities? Are there branches of the Central Y. M. C. A. organized for Indian, Mongolian and Malay races? Are the European nationalities chiefly on account of difference in languages? If so why was it necessary to provide a separate class of people of people of percent are American born and who speak the English language? Was not the colored man's branch really organized to cater to an unjust, un-American and uneducated class of people on account of their color? Has the Central Y. M. C. A. catered to a similar class of the other nationalities and organized separate Y. M. C. A.'s on account of prejudice? Admitting that many colored men really believe that the City Council would be a power for good, that it is better to have such a branch than REV. A. J. CAREY, not to be admitted at all and that many colored men are glad to meet and mingle with others of their class, is not the main factor in the cause of the organization of the branch, and is not it un-Christian (if it is done) to bar the few colored men who may find it convenient to travel to the Chicago papers while you were touring the world and in the third letter, published on March 31, 1914, you give a summary of your interest and travel in India and you speak of CASTE, which is described as "the most disastrous and blighting of human institution" has 3,000,000 converts in India and that its mission is to break down caste and you say the people readily respond with joy to the gospel of Christian brotherhood." If caste is a "disastrous and blighting institution" in India and one which the Y. M. C. A. is trying to break up, why does it have a un-Christian A. uphold a system of caste in the United States? In spite of the fact that many colored favor separate M. C. A.'s and colorful institutions to work does separation eventually work to the injury of the Afro-American people? Is not the Y. M. C. A. a semi-public institution to work for a separate branch for a class of people who were born in America and speak the language of the country, a discredit to democracy and an ought to no cause by belief that the Christian Charity? Is not the fact of the existence of a color-line Y. M. C. A. often used as a justification for segregation in public places and public institutions? Does not the separate Y. M. C. A. incite intolerance and more firmly fix caste? Does it not finally lead to injustice in every relation of life, to residential segregation, to disfranchisement and the denial of every civil right? Does it not tend to make the Afro-Americans a parish class shunned and despised by all other classes? If there is the slightest difference in the nationalities by the Central Y. M. C. A., has the organization the right to use Christian as a part of its title? The organized Christian (?) church in the United States, with the exception of the United Kingdom, with the ongoing increase race hatred and intolerance and tions small in numbers did nothing to antagonize Slavery. All the numerically allied groups, like the allies of the slave power and used the Bible to defend the "sacred and patriarchal institution." A few Christian individuals, like Karen Douglass, a Frenchman, nearly 200,000 colored men fought for freedom the hideous monster toppled and fell from his throne. Now after fifty years, in face of the marvelous progress of the Afro-American movement in America seeks to encourage the perpetuation of that "most disastrous and blighting institution"—CASTE? The A. M. E. Church of which I am a member was organized as a protest against Jim Crow. Because the causan American Christians (?) of a hundred years ago discriminated against their colored coreligionists our church was being, but we do no discriminate against the people of any race or nationality. The white man, the black man, the red man, the yellow man and the brown man are all welcomed and it may surprise you that the white man is the most Caucasian, both men and women are members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church; in fact there is scarcely a Caucasian who I suspect that the number of Caucasians among its membership. They have come into our fold because, as they say, they have more perfect exemplification of the doctrine of the "fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," than they could find in their churches. Please answer my questions carefully and if I have erred in any statement, I desire to be corrected. Yours sincerely, A. L. Carey, Pastor Institutional A. M. E. Church.

BENEFACTOR OF ALL THE PEOPLE HIS CAREER AS STATESMAN. Originated and Introduced Bill In Ohio Legislature Making First Monday In September Annual Holiday in Honor of Labor—Popular With Labor Unions Throughout Nation. Philadelphia.—Perhaps but a very few of the leaders and but a small percentage of the members of the many labor unions are aware of the fact that the father of this bill which made the first Monday in September a holiday in honor of labor was a colored man, says G. Grant Williams in the Philadelphia Tribune. The first Labor day bill was written by John P. Green, attorney-at-law, Cleveland, O., in 1890. He was then a member of the Ohio legislature and personally introduced his bill before the Sixty-ninth general assembly. The bill was strenuously opposed in the committee, but when it came before the main body for passage the Hon. John P. Green was very much in evidence. He made an eloquent plea in defense of the bill and urged its passage because of its unusual importance. He quoted the number of labor unions in the state of Ohio and their enormous membership and voting strength. The bill passed, and Mr. Green was called the "Daddy of Labor Day." On several occasions Mr. Green was the guest of honor of the Amalgamated Trades of Cincinnati and on one occasion rode with distinguished citizens at the head of the Labor day procession. The bill was the first passed by a state legislature legalizing Labor day as a holiday. With a few changes it was afterward presented in and passed by congress, indorsed by the national labor body, and since then the day is considered a national holiday in all the states and the District of Columbia and Alaska. For three years following the passage of the bill by the general assembly Mr. Green was the honored guest of national labor union bodies and was tasted and feted as a leading advocate of labor legislation. Indorsed by the labor unions, he was subsequently elected to the senate of Ohio. He was the first and only colored man so far to have that honor. John P. Green of Cleveland, O., was born at Newbern, N. C., on April 2, 1845, of free and humble colored parents. His father died in 1850, leaving his mother a widow with three small children. Mrs. Green sold her slender belongings, the remnant of a fortune which the elder Green had lost, and took her three children to Cleveland July 7, 1857. John P. was then twelve years of age. After attending the common schools of Cleveland young Green set forth to buy a home for his mother. It was a long, hard struggle, but in 1866 the last dollar was paid. In 1809 he was graduated from the Central high school of Cleveland, having taken a classical course. Subsequently he was graduated from the Ohio Union Law college in Cleveland. Senator Green's public record began in 1870, when he was admitted to practice law. In 1873 he was elected a justice of the peace of Cleveland. He was three times elected and served continuously for nine years, during which time he commenced and disposed of about 12,000 cases. In 1882 Mr. Green was elected to the general assembly of Ohio. In 1891 he was reelected to the legislature, and in 1892 he took his seat in the senate of the Seventieth general assembly of Ohio, being the only colored man ever elected to that body. During his service as senator he was called upon to preside over the senate, and it is worthy of note that during the time he presided over that body he was de facto lieutenant governor of the state of Ohio. During the period from 1897 to 1906, nine years. Mr. Green discharged the duties of United States postage stamp, agent under both Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. During eighteen months of that time he discharged the duties of acting superintendent of finance of the postoffice department. Wanted—Agents to solicit advertising and news. Salary or commission.

Dark was the morning in St. Paul last Tuesday, Oct. 6th, but bright were the hearts and faces of the members of the Building Committees of Mars Lodge of Odd Fellows and Perfect Ashler Lodge of Masons, when at eight o'clock the first shovel of dirt, which marked the beginning of the construction of the fraternal building, cor. Kent and Aurora Ave., to be known as Union Hall, was turned by Lawyer W. T. Francis. About 25 persons were present and with bared heads they bowed while Rev. H. P. Jones, of St. James Church fervently invoked divine blessings upon the work. This indeed was an epoch-making moment in the history of the Negroes in this section of the country. The building is to cost $14,500, and will be completed by February. Plans are being perfected for the impressive and formal service of the laying of the corner stone with appropriate ceremonies. The Fraternal and Civic bodies of the Twin Cities will be invited to take part. BELIEVES IN SCHOOL'S WORK Liberal Policy at the Wilberforce (O.) University Highly Commended. Wilberforce, O. President W. S.

We desire to express also our firm belief in the importance of the work which the university is doing and in the faithfulness and ability with which it is being done.

Manager Newport News Star Resigns. H. C. Young, who has been serving in the capacity of business manager of the Star at Newport News, Va., for some time, has resigned. In speaking editorially of Mr. Young's leave taking, Editor Matt N. Lewis of the Star says: "With this issue of the Star, Sept. 25, our manager, H. C. Young, severs his relation with this paper and goes back to Norfolk to take up the work which he left when he came to us. We are thoroughly convinced that newspaper men who make a success must be born to the work and the practice, but increase their innate efficiency. All we can do is to hope that we may be able to find the person who shall be able to take the management of the Star office and carry it on as efficiently and successfully as Mr. Young has done during the several months he has had the management."

Employed in the hospital. He served in civil war 29 months, and was honorably discharged and pensioned, he leaves a widow and many friends to mourn his loss. His funeral was held at the Soldier's Home Chapel and was very largely attended. Comrade Middleton was well known and respected by the inmates of the home. Few people of the city knew of his death which was from a day's sickness with pneumonia. It was a pleasure to see the friendly greeting he received everywhere. He was a gentleman of the old school, alive to his rights as a man, which he always demanded. He would call at our office to get the exchanges, and took pride in everything for the betterment of the Negro. We miss our old comrade, and have lost a personal friend. There are but few, of the Brave Black Boys in Blue and their white comrades, of the G. A. R. left to follow that immortal legion, whose memory we hallow. They have answered "Taps" on Earths' Camping ground to awaken at the sound of the "Reville" of Eternity. A Political Pigmy. Atty. William Henry Harrison Franklin "HUSTLED" on any Negro, when he was getting 2 cents apiece for petitions with his notarial seal, for the Progressive Party in 1912. Now, Franklin says that Smith is getting out the low class vote for Mayor Nye. Well, Bill, you have no right to be aristocratic, as it is a safe bet, you never wore a silk pair of stockings or drawers either. Practice law and quit politics? We know the game, and the hereto unknown quality of Negro votors has been found. Smith did not call the meeting—but our exposure of conditions beginning Sept. 4, 1913, did the deed, and you hitched your wagon to the Star and became a sattelite of very small magnitude, instead of the great planet of the Civic Club (his night-mare). Did you know that Mr. Williams spoke at a meeting last week, where they piloted everybody "upstairs for beer and cigars."—Both the candidates for Mayor need votes from every class, and will solicit them. You are a handicap to any candidate. Better run your little campaign paper, whose editor is now running for a Jim Crow Y. M. C. A. hand-out. Don't try to answer Messrs. Nye and Robertson and plead "your absence." When did you ever attend anything given by Negroes? Atty. Franklin is a Negro (he hates the name.) Get out and broaden in the sunlight of activity. Do not stark through the streets as "Mr. Hyde seeking his quarters. A fellow like you who can carry a Colts 44 and a belt of cartridges strapped about him—should appear brave at least. You are a natural coward. Afraid to argue cases in court. We do not believe you are dangerous, simply because you can't look a fellow in the face, unless he is buying the drinks. We know your disease and all its symptoms, have prescribed a bitter pill, but take it, will do you good. Cheer up! you can be but a Negro, so be a good one, if not the best. We publish this article for reciprocity. You have advertised the Star in your moral (?) paper. Now, continue. Many of our readers will know that there is a NEGRO (dont get angry) in this city named Franklin. We prosper under criticism but was forced to reply to your inferences. Now, if your case is really hopeless, we shall give you the cup of hemlock—as an end to your sufferings. Charley Hamilton, ex-detective, who is president of this new club, has been hounded by Franklin—but he is hustling advertisements for the Star and his face is bright as a big sunflower and full of smiles and he enjoys the antics of Franklin as he would a monkey in a menagerie—and Editor Smith should worry. New St. Paul Agent. Mrs. H. D. Williams of St. Paul, is the new agent of the Twin City Star. Mrs. William may be found in Atty. Francis' office, where she is employed as stenographer. We request that all persons in St. Paul, having business with the Star, will consult Mrs. Williams as she is authorized to manage the St. Paul agency of the Twin City Star.—Editor. MRS. H. I. WILLIAMS. TYPEWRITER, STENOGRAPHER Atty. Francis' office. 89 Union Block, St. Paul, Minn. Occupations In Which the Race Is Engaged Exclusive of Farming. By RALPH W. TYLER. Washington—Quite recently I gave the number of colored men engaged in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry in the United States. The number, especially of those who are owners, managers or foremen, must have proved a revelation. That the gace does not confine its operations exclusively to the farm, but extends its operations practically to every other industry, is shown by the number employed, either as owners, managers, foremen or laborers, in the extraction of minerals and the like. Engaged in coal mining there are 40,623 members of the race employed. Of these twelve are owners or operators, two are officials of companies, eight are managers or superintendents, 116 are bosses, foreman or overseers, seventeen are bookkeepers, cashiers or accountants, eight are clerks, four are draftsmen, one of whom is a woman; fifteen are electricians or electrical engineers and thirteen are mining engineers, the remainder of the more than 40,000 engaged in coal mining being distributed as laborers, car builders, machinists, drillers, drivers, motormen and the many other occupations associated with coal mining. In copper mining there are 282 members of the race engaged; none as owner, official, manager or superintendent, but at least one as a boss. In this branch of mining, however, there are three engineers who are identified with the race. In gold and silver mining there are 302 Negroes employed, two of whom are owners and four of whom are mining, civil or mechanical engineers, while the balance employed are distributed among the various other departments of gold and silver mining. There are 5,379 members of the race engaged in ore mining, fourteen of whom are owners or operators, one as manager or superintendent, nine as bosses, foremen or overseers, one as mining engineer and ten as stationary engineers, the remainder being mechanics, clerks, motormen, laborers and various other employees. Engaged in lead and zinc mining there are 278 members of the race, three of whom are mining or mechanical engineers, seven are drillers, and the remainder are laborers and skilled mechanics. Engaged in quarrying there are 10-348 colored men, thirty-eight of whom are owners or operators, four as managers, thirty-nine as foremen or overseers, four as clerks, fifty-eight as stationary engineers, two as inspectors, fifty-three as blacksmiths, seven as carpenters and the balance distributed among the skilled laborers and unskilled laborers connected with quarrying. I have ascertained that in the oil and gas well industry there are 266 colored men employed, six of whom are owners, two as bosses, eight as engineers, eight as drivers, seven as tool dressers, the remainder being engaged in common labor or other occupations connected with drilling for oil and gas. In the production of salt, oil and natural gas—namely, employed in the factories or refineries—there are 208 colored men, one of whom is an owner, three as bosses or foremen, eight as coopers, while the remainder of the 208 employed are engaged as skilled and unskilled laborers and in other occupations required in the production of salt, oil and gas. In all there are 62,755 members of the race engaged in the extraction of minerals in this country, a number that testifies to the fact that the race confines its efforts to no one single occupation. Questions Candidates For Congress The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. New York, has sent the following questionnaire to all candidates for congress of the Republican, Democratic and Progressive parties: Will you, if elected, vote against any measure abrogating the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments? Will you vote against segregation in the federal service, presidential segregation in the District of Columbia, segregation in Jimcrow cars in the District of Columbia?

Do you under any circumstances justify lynching? Do you favor the enforcement of clause 2 of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution? The association requests an answer to the above from each candidate by Monday, Oct. 12. John Woodson Appointed Fireman.

Mr. Schall is blind, the result of an accident received from an electrical flash while lighting a cigar, after winning one of the greatest battles of his legal career. He has since that time practiced law in this city, maintaining a large number of clients. His success, in spite of affliction, is a guarantee of extraordinary ability. His wife, is a faithful business partner, and is constantly associated with his legal affairs. Mr. Schall is a recognized orator. The following testimonials speak for themselves. "Schall will be for Minnesota what the blind Senator Gore is for Oklahoma. He is a self-made man, of sterling character. His remarkable success as a practicing professional qualities. He is a man of expe-胁erability and an able and brilliant speaker. As a congressman he a credit to our nation has my un-盟 endorsement."—Dr. Richard Burton, Chair of English Literature, University of Minnesota. "He is one of the best, perhaps the best speaker we have ever graduated from the University of Minnesota."—Cyrus Northrop. His character as a man and a citizen is beyond reproach."—Jas. C. Haynes, Ex-Mayor, Minneapolis. "Jas. Gray, Ex-Mayor, Minneapolis. "He has attained the highest distinction as a campaign debater."—W. S. Patttee, late Dean of the College of Law of the University of Pennsylvania, who remarkably gifted as a public speaker."—G. H. Bridgman, D. D., former President Hamline University. "Mr. Schall has unusual oratorical powers. He will delight and move any audience he addresses."—Rev. Charles Bayard Mitchell, D. D. "I heartily endorse Thos. D. Schall for Congress." -Judge Milton D. Purdy. "He is the most brilliant speaker we have ever had at the University."—E. E. McDermott, Chair of Oratory, University of Minnesota. I know of no young man who is so thoroughly qualified, to discharge the task of teaching. The student. My association with him, as a class-mate in the College of Law, gave me an opportunity to know him intimately. He is without prejudice, a gifted believer in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man—W. T. Francis. A NEW CAFE. Mr. L. D. Martin is arranging for the opening of Martin's Cafe at 205 11th Ave. So, where he will have one of the best, if not the best, restaurants in the city. The fixtures are being put in, and it is planned to open about Oct. 15th. When completed it will surpass any restaurant among our people in decorations and service. 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. "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.

ECONOMY IN USE OF SCHOOL FUNDS Agricultural and Mechanical College at Greensboro Shows Increase In All Departments—Success of President James B. Dudley as Educator and Defender of Human Rights. By GEORGE F. KING. Greensboro, N. C.-The North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical college in this city, for the education of colored youth, begins the fall term with an increase in all departments. The faculty is composed of well known educators, and the school ranks among the best in this section of the country. Graduates of this school are to be found among the leaders of the race in many states. They are holding positions of trust and responsibility and are making good along lines of useful endeavor. Through the good work A. B. which the alumni is doing the school has become widely known throughout the state and the nation. The funds provided by the state for the use of the institution are economically and wisely expended. The president of the school, Dr. James B. Dudley, is a man of great executive ability, and his influence in the south argues for much in favor of the amicable relations existing between the two races in this section. He has been at the head of this school for the past eighteen years. Dr. Dudley is devoting much time and energy at the present time to the movement in this state having for its object better accommodations for the colored people on the railroads. He takes a many stand against anything which tends to degrade or in any way retard the progress of the race. Some time ago, when the attempt to segregate the colored farmers was made, Dr. Dudley was foremost in defending their rights against this Jim-crow policy. He does not seek to stir up strife, but bases his efforts on the law as it relates to each citizen's rights to pursue his chosen calling without being molested, so long as such rights do not infringe upon the privileges of others. He has a host of friends among the masses of both races and is a true exponent of the gospel of fair play for every man, regardless of race, creed or color. He believes in law and order; hence his wise counsel has been of great service to the colored people in this city and state. Wherever there is an attempt in any part of North Carolina to supplant members of his race by the employment of foreign labor Dr. Dudley is at the front pleading the cause of the colored laborer against injustice and race discrimination. Industrial education is impartial in the bestowal of its blessings. It offers its gifts to the people of every race or clime without restriction, and to the colored people of the south its offerings have a peculiar significance, says Dr. Dudley. The older men of the race who were leading merchants and workmen among them wrought well in their day. They were masters of the art of getting good results. With the disappearance of the old guard the field for the Negro mechanic has been greatly reduced. They are being displaced in many sections by foreigners. This is a serious loss to our people, yet there is encouragement in the fact that we have it within our power to arrest this serious loss by thorough preparation which will enable our people to compete with any class of workmen that may come among us. Efficiency is the watchword of the age. The prepared man gets the job, and the man who can fill the requirements in promptness, exactness, honesty and reliability will not only get the job, but will hold it. The progress of the race thus far is due almost entirely to the fact that we early grasped the spirit of education and industrial pursuit, and if we continue to cultivate this spirit our future progress will be far greater. Hard training for special lines of work, a better knowledge of values and the courage of honest convictions will do much to sustain us in the great struggle of the survival of the fittest.

DUDLEY. ```markdown ``` Furnish Your New Home at 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.

Rustem Bey, Turkish ambassador to this country, rendered himself persona non grata to the Washington Government because of his strictures upon the American people for the practice of lynching. In an interview given to the press he is accredited with saying: "American representations to the Porte concerning the treatment accorded by the Mohammedans to the Christian Macedonians comes in poor grace in view of the manner in which they themselves treat the Negroes, who are not only fellow Christians, but fellow citizens." —News dispatch.)

Those who are disposed to deny the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and help along race prejudice, by advocating the establishment of separate Young Men's Christian Associations, should read and ponder over the following letter from a white minister to Editor Harry S. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, and published in his paper, the Cleveland Gazette: Madison, N. J., Sept. 24, 1914. Editor Gazette. Dear Sir:—You voice the sentiments of my soul and spirit—why should Christian America deify the "color-line" and rank it higher than the fundamentals or orthodox religion? The common fatherland of God (acknewledged by "The Church in America") implies to all believers, the common brotherhood of "all men in Jesus Christ."—2 Cor. 5:7; Col. 3:10; Eph. 2:10-10. I have fought in Virginia (Norfolk), Maryland (Baltimore), and New Jersey the pernicious practice of the Young Men's Christian Association in "drawing the color-line" and using it as an asset. I do not exactly understand Mr. Julius Rosenwald's motive in donating $25,000 to encourage the building of Colored Y. M. C. A.'s in America—do you? Every one built (and successfully maintained) only accentuates and makes more bitter the "color prejudice!" For it is not the filthy, foul-mouthed, evil-smelling, whisky-drinking Negro corner-loafer or bar-room bummer* they hate and depreciate so much as the honest, intelligent, self-respecting and capable Afro-American whose domination and social equality proclivities they fear, because they recognize in him not only a civic equal in embryo, but actually a moral superior on mentality!!! Why should the National Y. M. C. A. recognize, legalize and perpetuate the "color-line?" There is none in sin, there is none in sickness, nor poverty, neither in hell nor heaven!! When, in so doing, they cater to popular prejudice, they dishonor Christ (see Matt. 23:1-4, 8-11), they degrade religion and condemn their own National organization as a huge hypocritical conspiracy forged to bolster up an inhuman lie—the sublime equality of all men. I wish you every blessing with success. —From St. Paul Appeal. They say that The Star is the only knocker against the Negro Y. M. C. A. Assn. Brother Adams of the Appeal has been on the job for 30 years fighting against discrimination, never compromised or surrendered—and never will. A Result of Voluntary Segregation. The Negro Branch, Young Womens Christian Assn., of St. Paul, has been closed by the white parent body. Membership cards have been withdrawn, dues paid have been refunded, and furniture stored in Central Branch Y. W. C. A., where Negro women are NOT WANTED. Miss Charlotte Gillard is the only member of her race. She refused to withdraw to join the Western Branch—and is receiving the benefits of the parent body. She deserves credit for her good judgment, and they can find no fault in her, except color. Now that they begged for the Jim Crow Y. W. C. A. and could not support it, and are denied former privileges at the Central branch—We ask: Who is to blame? Had we more like Miss Gillard, we would have less discrimination, but we can always find some Negro man or woman who will sacrifice the rights and privileges of others on the altar of personal prominence—just to be head of any damnable institution. ThankGod, the prophecy of the late Fred L. McGhee has been fulfilled that "it can last in Minnesota," the he "suffered it to be so" because he had become weary from fighting these contending forces and his last days were in peace. The Society for the Advancement of Colored People has not protested, and many of its members have endorsed the separate Y. M. C. A. now being promoted by the white secretary, Mr. Wiley, and Rev. (?) Toombs, a Negro waiter. The Culinary Art Journal. We acknowledge the receipt of The Northwestern Culinary Art Journal, a monthly magazine devoted to the interest of the Hotel and Restaurant workers. It is especially interesting and educational. A write-up of Chef F. H. Eigen appears in its columns. He has made a wonderful record at the Minneapolis Athletic Club, where Negro waiters are employed. This assures a co-operation of the workers of both races of the craft, an essential feature for the success of the management and employees. Read The Star. It's News. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. TWIN CITY STAR From Minneapolis Daily News, Sept. 24, 1914. It is believed by most writers and thinkers on the subject that the office of treasurer is a class by itself and that the term of eligibility of treasurers should be limited, and the public funds turned over to successors at the end of reasonable periods. Indeed, rotation in office and limitation of term is deemed so essential in regard to treasureship that provision is made therefor in a number of the state constitutions and statutes. For example: In Buffalo, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, and other cities, the treasurers are ineligible to succeed themselves after serving one term of four years. The city treasurer of Chicago is ineligible to succeed himself after one term of two years. "49. At the general election held in 1877, and biennially thereafter, a mayor, a city clerk, a city attorney, and a city treasurer shall be elected in each city. Provided, that no person shall be elected to the office of city treasurer for two terms in succession." False Race-Pride. 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.

"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 our- selves 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 A FEW REASONS, why Mayor Nye should be re-elected. He has recognized the right of the majority of the people to rule. He has kept his pre-election promises. He has always given ear to the complaints of the Negroes whenever they desired an audience. He has acted, on all matters pertaining to their civic and moral interests, upon the advice of the majority of the leading representatives of the race. He has advocated equal privileges to all persons regardless of creed or color. He has accorded to Negroes the same privileges of amusement and recreation as granted to other nationalities. Dixon's Father Honored. (Boston Port, Oct. 2, 1914.) West End residents, white as well as colored, will help celebrate the ooth birthday of Charles Dixon, a well known colored resident of that section who resides in Grove street. For one so very old, Mr. Dixon enjoys good health and is very spry. He was the father of George Dixon, the one-time world champion boxer. Mr. Dixon came to Boston many years ago from Halifax and for years was employed in a well known downtown business house. HAMPTON INSTITUTE OPENS WITH LARGE ENROLLMENT Forty-seventh Term of Famous Trade School Begins Auspiciously. Hampton, Va.—Hampton institute began its forty-seventh term Thursday, Oct. 1. Entering class numbers about 295—121 girls, 174 boys—making an enrollment of nearly 900. There are seventeen new Indians, making a total of fifty-five Indians who since the government has withdrawn its appropriation are bravely working their own way as the colored students do. New students entering the work class spend most of their time for a year in caring for the school buildings, doing work on the farm, in the dormitories and helping in the various school offices as orderlies. They work during the day for twelve months and attend night school for eight months. An unusually large number of students have entered the day classes this year. The trade school, with its thirteen different trades, and the agricultural course attract students from all parts of the country. For the girls Hampton institute offers a four year academic, normal, home economics, library and matron course. Hampton institute has carried on its work for nearly half a century and has sent forth over 8,000 young men and women equipped to earn honorable livings as teachers, farmers and skilled tradesmen. It has imbued in its students a desire to be of service to their race and by their own homes, their work and their daily life to act as examples and teachers to the less fortunate among whom they live. It stands today for all that aids in training members of undeveloped races to become earnest, industrious, Christian citizens. It teaches them the dignity of labor, the happiness of service and the value of moral and physical cleanliness. It is lending its support to every effort to increase the earning capacity of the Negro and Indian races. Mr. Hugh Alger of West Chester, Pa., who has recently been acting as state supervisor in the district of Norwalk, Conn., will fill the position of supervisor of the academic department, made vacant by the resignation of Miss Harriet S. Hayward. Among the new teachers in the academic department are Miss Ruth E. Goodwin, Mrs John G. Brady, Miss Dorothy L. Jones and Mr. Fred E. Fosssitt. Mr. Oliver K. Snyder of Florin, Pa., is the new instructor of drafting. Miss Beatrice A. Leete will take charge of the domestic science department. Miss Ellen Cope of West Chester, Pa., is the girls' physical director, and Miss Mary D. Stone has accepted the position of secretary to the vice principal. Miss Grace L. Morrison and Miss Williametta O. Nash, who have had a year's leave of absence, have returned to their duties in the academic department. MISFORTUNE.
