MAN OF WIDE EXPERIENCE Fine Record of a Prominent Florida Clergyman Who Has Won His Laurels by Hard Work—Dollar Money King" is Highly Indored For Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. St. Augustine, Fla.—The Rev. R. B. Brooks, minister of the A. M. E. church in this ancient city, has been crowned the "Dollar Money King" of Florida, and while he is not a presiding elder he has the honor of leading all the presiding elders in Florida in this particular line of church work. He was assigned to the pastorate by Bishop Hurut. All the delegates from this section to the next general conference, which meets in Philadelphia in May. RSW. R. B. BROOKS, D. D. have united in asking that he be elevated to the episcopacy because of his worth to the church and race. Greenville, Madison county, this state, has the distinction of furnishing this noted churchman to his race and the A. M. E. denomination. His birth date back to Dec. 18, 1860. Like many great men, he was born on the farm and spent his early life as a farmer boy. When but a lad he was able to do the work of a man and had the confidence and love of all the people in the community. He commenced his school life in the public schools in the county and town of his birth, making rapid progress, but was forced to leave school in order to help to take care of his mother, his father having died when young Brooks was thirteen months old. He was a polite, studious and industrious boy and showed signs of individual self control. But this young man did not lose sight of the fact that he would have to prepare for the higher things in life which he craved and took every advantage of every opportunity to get an education. It was not long before Mr. Brooks was recognized as a diligent student in the community, and at the age of nineteen years he accepted a school, thus starting out in public life as a schoolteacher. He was teaching and preaching at the same time. The Rev. Mr. Brooks, was admitted into membership in the conference in Florida at Gainesville in 1890, but was not given an assignment until 1891. The Boardman mission was the first charge he served, where he remained one year, and from there was, in 1892, assigned to Ybor City mission, Florida, which is not far from Tampa. He founded Allen temple at Tampa and was soon afterward promoted by Presiding Elder Rev. J. W. Duke to the Cedanty circuit, and in 1894 he was assigned to the Micanopy circuit. The Rev. Dr. Brooks became minister of the Bethel A. M. E. church at Key West in 1890. His ministry of four years at the Mount Olive church, Jacksonville, resulted in the addition of 400 persons to the membership, $8,000 for the trustees' fund and $4,400 for the stewards' board. At a most remarkable meeting held during Dr. Brooks' stay at Key West 368 persons accepted Christ and joined the church. He is well known throughout this state as a man of high Christian character, whose good influence seems to pervade the community in which he lives. He has done a great work for the denomination in Florida and is a loyal advocate of racial advancement. Several church edifices have been erected under his supervision, which reflect credit upon the members and place Dr. Brooks in the front rank as an organizer and financier. The Rev. Dr. Brooks recently received assurances of support by unanimous vote from the Georgia delegation to the general conference, and his chances for elevation to the episcopacy are bright. While he is very modest about the matter, his achievements and general worth to the denomination compel recognition. Should Dr. Brooks be promoted the work of the denomination in this section of the south will take on new life, for he is a man of great activity and adaptability for leadership. OPINION AND EXPERIENCES OF HON. EDWARD EVERETT Noted American Fought Slavery and Other Forms of Injustice. In his address before the Colonization society at Washington, on Feb. 18, 1863, Hon. Edward Everett said: "When I lived in Cambridge a few years ago I used to attend, as one of the board of visitors, the examinations of a classical school in which was a colored boy, the son of a slave in Mississippi, I think. He appeared to be of pure African blood. There were at the same time two youths from Georgia and one of my own sons attending the same school. "I must say that this poor Negro boy, Beverly Williams, was one of the best scholars at the school, and in the Latin language he was the best scholar in his class. There are others, I am told, which shows still more conclusively the aptitude of the colored race for every kind of intellectual culture." While lecturing in western New York in the autumn of 1843 before the Western New York Anti-Slavery society, a mob collected at the church in Aurora, bent on giving Mr. Everett a "warm reception." It had smuggled a bag of flour into the belfry of the church, directly over the entrance door, and plans had been made to throw the whole of it over him as he passed out of the church after his lecture. In the meantime, eggs of ancient vintage were thrown about rocklessly during the lecture, and he was driven from the pulpit. On his way out he stopped in the body of the church to discuss a single point with one of the respectable rowdies. The audience became silent and he went on and spoke for over an hour. At the conclusion the lights were put out and preparations were made to "flour" him. As the crowd surged toward the door, carrying him along with it, one of the mob whispered to him: "They are going to throw a bag of flour on you. When you hear any one say, 'Let it slide!' you look out." Then he determined to have a little fun with these frisky "gentlemen." So when some of the best dressed and most respectable looking of their own company or those who had no sympathy with his mission filled up the doorway, he cried out in a disguised voice, "Let it slide!" And down came the contents of the bag, to the delight of his friend and the consternation of the mob. A quarrel ensued, and while they were setting it among themselves he and his friend quietly left the church "unfouled and unharmed." HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN. University Boys Drop Championship Basketball Game to Virginians. The Hampton (Va.) institute basketball team won the intercollegiate championship Saturday night. Feb. 12, by its defeat of the Lincoln (Pa.) university team, 44 to 20. The game was fast and clean throughout, a fine exhibition of scientific basketball. During the first half the Hampton team did such wonderful passing and shooting that the Lincoln team seemed bewildered. This half ended 28 to 7 in Hampton's favor. The second half began with a dash more to the liking of the many spectators who witnessed the game. The young boys of Lincoln did splendid work, and especially spectacular was the fast dribbling of N. Young, who several times carried the ball from one end of the gymnasium to the other. The passing and shooting of Gayle, Gurnce and Edwards for Hampton were the features of the game. The referee was H. B. Skinner; timekeeper, R. Stoney; scorer, H. Harvey. Opposite Views.

SMOKE THE RELIABLE Se SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR GEMS FROM MAJOR MOTON'S SPEECH IN NEW YORK FEB. 11 Tuskegee Institute's New Principal Pleads For Closer Racial Unity. "I hope I may be forgiven if I say a few words more directly to my own people, inasmuch as they form so large a part of the audience. I hope no one will believe that I for a moment think that I can fill Dr. Washington's place. I am earnestly and humbly aware that this is well nigh impossible. It will require the combined energy and efforts of all the Negroes in America, and they will need the co-operation and backing of the white people to carry on Dr. Washington's work, and I doubt even then whether it would be done as effectively as he did it." "If any of us, because of weakness and failings within our race or because of unfairness, injustice and inconvenience without or because of the color of our faces and the texture of our hair, have been hitherto lacking in appreciation of our race or have been afraid to be unmistakably identified with the Negro race, let us in the name of the God who made us forever dispel any such foolish, childish, disastrous notions." "Let us remember, once and for always, that no race that is ashamed of itself, no race that despises itself, that tries to get away from itself, no race that does not respect, honor and love itself, can gain the confidence and respect of other races or will ever be truly great and useful." "I believe, my friends, that you, who are heirs of the opportunities of the culture and of the wealth of ages; you, who love humanity and justice; you, who love our glorious country—I believe truly that you will see to it that the great institution through which he worked and for which he died will be maintained and operated to its fullest capacity and with greatest possible efficiency that these black boys and girls, who are sometimes called the despised and rejected children, may continue to have a chance—a chance to be trained, a chance to be educated, a chance to be efficient, a chance to be useful to their race and to their country, a chance to be decent, a chance to serve." "Let us remember also that we are not an accursed people; that races with whiter faces have gone and are still going through difficulties infinitely more trying and embarrassing than much that faces us; that we have in this country vast opportunities for growth and development as well as for usefulness and service. We are creatures of God's most perfect handwork, and any lack of appreciation on our part is a reflection on the great Creator." "Though Negroes and black and though living under hampering difficulties and inconveniences, God meant that we should be just as honest, just as industrious, just as skillful, just as intelligent, just as godlike, as any human beings that walk on the face of God's earth." "I hope and I believe that because of the life that has so recently gone out from among us that we as a people will henceforward, as never before, unselfishly work together, not thinking, not feeling and not acting always alike, but always in perfect harmony and mutual helpfulness for a great race and for a great nation." BISHOP CONDEMNS CRIME. Conner of Little Rock, Ark, Makes Plea For Legal Protection. Bishop J. M. Conner of Little Rock, Ark, in calling to order the fifty-first annual session of the Louisiana African Methodist Episcopal conference, which met recently at New Orleans, said the white ministers of the south had failed to do their duty toward the Negro, because they could, if they would, in the name of God, stop the unlawful shedding of Negro blood by lawless mobs, and be urged the ministers of the conference to appeal to them. "We have been appealing to the better class of white people for a long time," he said, "and now we must appeal to the ministers who represent Jesus Christ. We go to them in the spirit of Christ. The white people make the law, construe the law and execute the law, and they should be able to protect the men they arrest, give them trials and if guilty punish them by law. "We do not condone crime. We want Negro criminals punished and would not conceal them. We ask only for protection. We want the world to know that we stand for law and order. We are willing to render our best service to the south and in return want the south to protect us." Cause of His Hilarity.

The spring meeting of the East Tennessee Teachers' association will be held for three days at Morristown, Tenn., beginning on Thursday, April 20. President William J. Causler of Knoxville requests all teachers to attend the various sessions of the gathering, as there will be many topics for discussion and other matters of interest of which each teacher should have a personal knowledge. The local committee of arrangements appointed by Dr. J. S. Hill, president of the Morristown Normal college, is making ample preparation for the entertainment of teachers and visitors. The program committee has already announced the names of some of the best known and ablest speakers in the state who will take part in the proceedings. Command Rev. B. T. Harvey's Book. The Rev. B. T. Harvey of Lakewood, N. J., has recently committed authorship, and a book, "Life's Harmony," is the result. It is a philosophical work well thought out and has evoked fine commendation from the late Booker T. Washington, who said, "I have read with very great interest and satisfaction your book, 'Life's Harmony.'" The Rev. D. Wadsworth Cannon, pastor of the First Baptist church, Cranford, N. J., said, "You have discovered the key of the most profound and philosophical subject of the age." These and other endorsements of the brilliant author's work are highly complimentary to Dr. Harvey as a writer and a thinker. The secretary of the state board of examiners for teachers' licenses, Hon. T. D. Sensor of New Jersey, and Hon. A. B. Meredith, assistant commissioner of education, also speak in praise of the work. Young Men in Tennessee to Organize Under the leadership of Mr. B. H. January and other prominent men a meeting for the purpose of organizing a state political league, to be composed of all the young colored men of Tennessee, will be held in Nashville on Wednesday and Thursday, April 26-7. The call for the gathering specifies that only men from twenty-one to thirty- five years of age shall be eligible to membership in the league and that the promoters are working zealously to enroll at least 25,000 members by October, 1916. Mrs. Martha Schofield Dies at Alken. Mrs. Martha Schofield, teacher of the freedmen at Sea island in 1835 and founder of the Schofield Normal and Industrial school at Alken, S. C., died at Alken recently at the age of seventy-st. She was known throughout the country and greatly beloved by the colored people on account of her high character and the devotion to the cause of education among the colored people all of her life. OUR SUCCESS IN MUSIC. Most Distinictive In Americas Save Benjamin Browner Says Benjamin Brailey Benjamin Brawley in a recent article in the Southern Workman has the following to say of the possibilities of the race for advancement in the arts and in music: With reference to the Negro two things are observable. One is that any distinction so far won by a member of the race in America has been almost always in some one of the arts, and the other is that any influence so far exerted by the Negro on American civilization has been primarily in the field of aesthetics. But there is something deeper than the sensuousness of beauty that makes for the possibilities of the Negro in the realm of the arts, and that is the soul of the race. The wall of the old melodies and the plaintive quality that is ever present in the Negro voice are but the reflection of the background of tragedy. No race can rise to the greatest heights of art until it has yearned and suffered. The Russians are a case in point. Such has been their background in oppression and striving that their literature and art today are marked by an unmistakable note of power. The same future beckons to the American Negro. The Negro has great gifts of voice and ear and soul, but far much of his talent has not soared above the vaudeville stage. This is due most largely, of course, to economic instability. It is the call of patriotism, however, that America should realize that the Negro has peculiar gifts which need all possible cultivation and which will one day add to the glory of the country. Already his music is recognized as the most distinctive that the United States has yet produced. NOTED MEN PRAISE B. T. WASHINGTON President of Hampton Institute First Speaker at Notable Service For Late Educator Under the Auspices of Three Great Institutions—Organized and Enheartened Race, Says Moton. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Under the auspices of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee institute, the Hampton institute and the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People a memorial meeting in honor of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington was held at Carnegie hall in this city on Friday evening, Feb. 11. The hall was filled from pit to dome by thousands of people, white and colored, who listened attentively to eulogies of the great educator delivered by noted men of both races who knew Dr. Washington intimately. Mr. Seth Low, chairman of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee institute, presided. Music for the occasion was rendered by a chorus from the Music School settlement, New York; a quartet from Flask university and quintet from the Tuskegee institute. The speakers were Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton institute; Attorney William H. Lewis of Boston, who represented the National Urban league; William R. Willcox, president of the New York board of education; James H. Dillard of the Jeanes fund and Major Robert R. Moton, who succeeded Dr. Washington as principal of the Tuskegee institute. Major Moton received a perfect ovation on being introduced by Chairman Seth Low. Major Moton in part said: It is entirely fitting that on the eve of the birthday of the great emancipator we should gather here reverently to pay our respects to the one who stands so pre-eminently as the most unique individual product of emancipation. Booker T. Washington's life and work alone would have justified Abraham Lincoln's ideas and actions regarding emancipation. These remarks are in no sense intended as a eulogy, for that would be absolutely out of harmony with the life and teachings and wishes of this great leader. My hope is rather to call attention to a few of the great principles which controlled and guided his life and enabled him to perform so great and so beautiful a service for the Negro and for the nation, with the desire that we may learn therefrom some lessons and gain some inspiration that may help and encourage us for the great work which he left to us all to carry on. General Armstrong, through Hampton institute, responded the best he knew—and he was a wise, farseeing man—to the earnest, urgent appeal of this untrained, poverty stricken black boy for a chance. He gave him, not money, not even charity as such, but he did give Booker Washington what every American, in the last analysis, deep down in his heart believes that every human being should have, an opportunity to make the most of himself, a chance equal to that of every other man. Booker T. Washington used this chance in developing in every possible way opportunities and chances for other people, whether in Alabama and the south, the isles of the seas or in Africa. He struggled that men might have a chance through Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, which he founded and for which he labored and sacrificed and to which he gave his life. Few men in the world's history have been able to accomplish in so short a period for so large a mass of people what Dr. Washington was able to accomplish. He organized and enhanced a race, giving them a new idea of education and of life. He taught the dignity, grandeur, beauty and necessity of industry and morality as fundamental in the development of any people. He gave the Negro people a definite place in the thought and life of the times. It was a difficult, embarrassing, foreboding race problem which he found. He left a clear, definite, hopeful race program, the letter and spirit of which, if wisely and unselfishly followed, will without doubt bring in the long run a happy, wholesome and satisfactory solution and an adjustment mutually acceptable to all concerned. He often said, "No man, either white or black, from north or south, shall drag me down so low as to make me hate him." This, my friends, was his life's motto, and yet few men were more sensitive to unfairness or injustice. The effect of misunderstanding and prejudice is apt to appeal strongly to most people, especially those who are most keenly stung, with but Dr. Washington the underlying cause of prejudice and unfairness was of far more fundamental interest to him. He interpreted with kindness and patience and wisdom the north to the south, the south to the north, the Negro to both and both to the Negro. He helped tremendously to make peace between races and between sections—north and south, black and white. He used every opportunity to allay factional strife and bickerings between groups of Negroes. He was truly a peacemaker. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK GALS P. HILYER A SUCCESSFUL YOUNG LAWYER Wins Suit Against City. Atty. Gale P. Hilyer, of the firm of Hall, Tautges and Sapiro, Attorneys-at-Law, has been with the firm now exactly one year and he is now entrusted with some of the most important litigation with which the firm is identified. Last spring Mr. Hilyer was associate counsel with Mr. Hall in the trial of the case of Weber vs. City of Minneapolis, before Judge Steele in the District Court. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff and the City appealed to the Supreme Court. The entire conduct of the appeal, including the writing of the brief was entrusted to Mr. Hilyer. That he acquitted himself creditably is shown by the fact that the Supreme Court has recently handed down an opinion written by Chief Justice Brown in which the Court fully sustains Mr. Hilyer in every contention. Mr. Hilyer is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, and son of Mr. Andrew F. Hilyer of Washington, D. C., the first Negro graduate of the University of Minn. INFLUENCE OF HAMPTON. Miss Bertha Conde Delivera Instructive Address at Noted Virginia School. The name Hampton when applied to the Hampton (Va.) Normal and Agricultural institute is a name to be conjured with. From this school went possibly the first, and certainly the best, prepared group of colored teachers who served faithfully in the country schools not many years after the close of the civil war. The influence of the Hampton institute has been and is a blessing to humanity. One of the most recent and helpful additions to the institute is a branch of the Young Women's Christian association. It has brought some interesting speakers to the school. Recently Miss Bertha Conde, senior student secretary of the National Y. M. C. A. board, spoke to the school at the chapel service. She told the students a little about the World's Student Christian federation, which is composed of students in all parts of the world, and urged them to give in their lives the answer to the question which people everywhere are asking today, "What is there in Jesus Christ?" Miss Conde said that Christ is on trial today, as he was in Pilate's time. As Pilate had the power to release him or to crucify him, so have we, and we must decide which we are going to do. Pilate heard voices saying things against Christ, "and their voices prevailed." Ambition, pride and selfishness are the voices that drown the call of Christ today, and we must not let them prevail, but must come out clearly and allow him to be the greatest power in our lives.

Rahn of Minneapolis, close personal friend of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, has filed as a candidate for delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention. Mr. Rahn has filed under the Cummins column. The filing of Mr. Rahn created quite a stir in political circles. Early in the winter it was considered likely that Mr. Rahn would take charge of the circulation of petitions to place the name of Colonel Roosevelt on the primary ballot. The former president requested that his name be not entered in the primary fight, however. Mr. Rahn was born at Valpariso, Indiana, Oct. 18, 1875. He came to Minnesota in 1880 and has lived here ever since. He was educated in the public schools in Minneapolis. For 13 years he was connected with the Hardwood Manufacturing Company of Minneapolis. He then went into business for himself. Mr. Rahn is interested in lumbering and farming, having a large farm north of Bemidji, where he has a herd of 60 head of cattle. He is interested in banks at Baudette, Williams and Dayton. Mr. Rahn is essentially a Minnesota product and has taken a keen interest in all thngs pertaining to the development of the state. He is a member of the general committee having in charge the campaign for Amendment No. 1, which provides for a revolving fund to be used for the development of northern Minnesota. Mr. Rahn has taken an interest in politics for many years. He was a Roosevelt delegate to the Republican National convention in 1912. The friendship between Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Rahn is such that a special significance is given to his filing at this time, especially as Mr. Rahn recently met the Colonel in the east and went over the situation in Minnesota with him. THE FIELD WAS FENCED. But That Didn't Prevent the Witness Getting a Good View. Two men had been arrested in a dry town for drinking, and the prosecuting witness was on the stand. "You say," said the attorney for the defense, "that you saw the men in the field drinking?" "Yes, sir, I did." "Was the field fenced?" "Yes, sir." "Where were you?" "On the far side of the fence." "Was there a board off that you could see through?" "No, sir." "Was there a knothole in the fence?" "No, sir." The attorney braced himself for the crushing question that he had ready to launch at the victim whom he thought he had so adroitly cornered. "Now," he said, banging the table, "will you tell the court how you could see two men drinking in a field sur- rounded by a fence with no boards off and never a knothole in it?" "Yes, sir," said the witness. "Well, tell it," commanded the attor- ney impatiently. "It was barbed wire fence."—W. J. Lampton in Judge. The Tightwad Speaks. I have clutched each dollar tightly Till the eagle screamed with pain; I have banked my loose change nightly, Saving for the day of rain. Life has not been milk and honey; Every nickel I must nurse, But I've never kept my money In a little leather pumps. —New York Mall. CAN'T BE LOST. For a man can lose neither the past nor the future, for how can one take from him that which is not his? So remember these two points—first, that each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its evele and that it signifies not whether a man shall look upon the same things for a hundred years or two hundred or for an infinity of time; second, that the longest lived and the shortest lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.—Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. Paid In Her Own Coin. A local cafeteria was the scene of an artistic bit of reproof the other day. In a cafeteria the luncheon seeker wanders from table to table with a tray, collecting the parts of a meal, then receives a check for the amount of food on his tray and pays the check on the way out after he has finished. A young man of prepossessing appearance and with the earmarks of "knowing his way around" approached the cashier with his check and laid a wonders from table to table with a tray, collecting the parts of a meal, then receives a check for the amount of food on his tray and pays the check on the way out after he has finished. A young man of prepossessing appearance and with the earmarks of "knowing his way around" approached the cashier with his check and laid a fifty cent piece on the counter. The girl, who is GLANCED AT THE GIRL. NITY cent piece on the counter. The girl, who is somewhat austere, snatched up the piece, looked at it skeptically, then bounced it on the counter. It rang true. She took out change, including a penny, and pushed it toward the customer. All during the occurrence the sting was not so much in what she did as in the way she did it. The young man had not said a word or moved a muscle of his face all the time. Preserving the same serenity and silence, he picked up his change, glanced at the girl, regarded the penny a moment, bounced it on the counter, listened, picked it up and walked out, his face as expressionless as ever. Patrons who had watched laughed quietly, and the girl's face flushed.—Newark Star. Do It. Now. Lose this day loitering, 'twill be the same story Tomorrow, and the next more dilatory; Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting those lost days. Are you in earnest? Selize this very minute. What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Courage has genius, power and magic in it. Only engage, and then the mind grows heated— Begin it and the work will be completed. Hla Clew. The London police sergeant raised his eyes from the blotter as two policemen propelled the resisting victim before him. "A German spy, sir!" gasped the first bobby. "I am an American and can prove it," denied the victim. "That's what he says, but here's the evidence," interrupted the second bobby, "u. umphantly producing a bulky hotel. register from beneath his arm and pointing to an entry. "V. Gates," written in a flowing hand, was the record that met the astonished sergeant's gaze. "Everybody's." The Cat He Tackled. An Irishman fresh from the "could sod" secured a job with a lumbering crew in the Minnesota woods. While sound asleep in his bunk one night a lynx slipped in at the open window, esplied Paddy's brindle whiskers and promptly pounced on its supposed enemy. A terrific contest ensued, during which Paddy's clothing was reduced to ribbons, but ending happily when the brawny son of Erin secured a half Nelson on the beast and heaved it bodily through the window. He was instantly surrounded by a score of excited and admiring woodsmen. After examining himself critically Paddy straightened up slowly and remarked with distinct emphasis: "Bedad, if I knew th' mon that owned that cat I'd be after rammin' me fisht down 'th' throat av 'im—I wud thot!" Busy Program. The women of a certain town recently organized a musical appreciation club, and for awhile everything was lovely. "Louise," asked the husband of one of the members after her return from one of the meetings, "what was the topic under discussion by the club this afternoon?" At first Louise couldn't remember, but finally she exclaimed "Now I recollect! We discussed that brazen looking-hussey that just moved in across the street and Debussy"—Arganaut. Fat Margaret. It was a history lesson, and the teacher felt convinced he had told his boys all the important features and characters connected with the Wars of the Roses. "Now, boys, what do you know of Margaret of Anjou?" was his first question. "Well. Jones?"—this to a youngster who was frantically waving his arm about like a flag signaler working overtime. "She was v-v-very f-f-fat, sir," stammered Jones. "Fat! How do you make that out?" queried the teacher, who had made no mention at all of the lady's physical charms and was somewhat in doubt himself as to her exact dimensions. Opening his textbook, Jones triumphantly pointed to the following passage: "One of Richard's stoutest opponents was Margaret of Andor." Pres. Mrs. Jennie Wilkerson, Vice Pres.

"What the Negro must do is to contend for his rights in the best spirit without losing his head and he will find the genuine white people the world over respecting them. First, let him respect himself and others will respect him."—(Charleston, S. C. Messenger.) THE NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. The choice of the Star for president is Theodore Roosevelt. We believe him to be the choice of the rank and file of true Republicans. STANDS UP FOR FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. One, at last, of the avowed candidates for the Republican nomination for the Presidency is squarely on record favoring the right of the Negro to the ballot vouch-safed him by the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. On April 18, 1903, Hon. Henry D. Estabrook, of New York, who is favorably mentioned for the nomination, addressed a letter to the editor of the New York Sun which was published on the editorial page of the Sun in its issue of April 20th, 1903, discussing the Fifteenth Amendment and the Negro's right to the franchise. In this letter Mr. Estabrook said in part: "The problem as put by a certain element of the South is: How to eliminate the Negro vote? Thus stated it enlists neither my sympathy nor tolerance. To the Negro, as such, ought not to be denied a voice in a government, of which, by virtue of numbers and usefulness, he is so conspicuous a part. The Fifteenth Amendment was not a mistake. I am Christian enough to believe that it was divinely ordained. Repeal that Amendment and you block from our flag a star of hope, and leave millions of people orphaned of country and worse than slaves, for they would have neither the ballot for defense nor the protection of an owner's self-interest in his property. In a country like ours, dedicated to personal liberty and self-government the denial of political rights must be based on just and fundamental distinctions. So long as certain elements of the South cling to the hallucination that the worst of white men are better than the best of black men, so long will the South suffer, and deserve to suffer; for it is a false conceit, a wicked conceit, an obsolete conceit, and freedom in its march will not turn backward." READ THE STAR, IT'S NEWSY A. A. For Delegate, 10th Dist. Hon. Henry Rines of Mora, Minn. is the Editor of the Mora Times. He is an ex-speaker of the Legislature and a true Republican. A. C. HON.

He is a Spanish War Veteran and believes in adequate national defense. HON. JAMES MANAHAN. Candidate for Delegate at large. Hon. James Manahan is well known to our readers. He was our true friend while a member of Congress. He is a fighter against segregation and discrimination. He should receive the vote of every Negro in the state. A. B. Hon. H. P. Keller is a good friend of our people. He is an ex-Mayor of St. Paul, during whose administration the Negroes were well represented. He is a loyal Republican and will receive the greater part of the Republican vote of the Fifth District. DISMOND BEATS MEREDITH. Chicago Negro Runner Shows Speed in 44-yard Run.

STEVENS Candidate for Delegate at Large. (For A. B. Cummings.) Ex-Congressman Stevens is nationally known as one of the ablest statesmen of the Republican party. He was for many years a representative from the 4th district of Minn. and his record stands as the highest type of ideal statesmanship. He is thoroughly informed on the needs and policies of our nation, and can be deperided on to bring about harmony within the Republican ranks, and to re-write into the Republican program the principles of "Lincoln." Equality for all American citizens. 2023-04-24 HON. A. O. EBERHART. Hon. A. O. Eberhart is an Ex-Governor of Minnesota and a consistent Republican. He is a candidate for delegate to the National Convention. There are many who believe him to be our next Senator from Minnesota. He has a host of friends, who have urged his candidacy for the Senate. Mr. Eberhart is the man, who advertised Minnesota and her resources. He made extensive trips and addressed large gatherings, and did much to promote the growth of this state while chief executive. HON. WILLIAM HENRY EUSTIS Candidate for Delegate, 19th Dist. Candidate for Delegate, four Dist. Mayor Eustis as he is generally known, is one of the "old guard" of the Republican leaders. He has always been active in public life, and served well as Mayor of Minneapolis. He stands for party organization, and has publicly expressed his disapproval of non-partisan politics. He is a firm believer in the Republican party and its principles. Mr. Eustis says that candidates should represent the voters of their party and should be supported by party organization. He is one of the most eloquent speakers and because of his long association with the Republican party, he will be a powerful factor in the coming convention. CAUSE OF THE EUROPEAN WAR John E. Bruce "Grit" Attributes It to Sin and Selfishness. The root of sin is selfishness, and selfishness is at the bottom of the present war, which is devastating Europe, says John E. Bruce "Grit" of Yonkers, N. Y. Selfishness is the mother of greed, avarice, inordinate desire and all unrighteousness. Its other names are benevolent assimilation and covetousness. A good many people would like to enjoy the fruits of Christianity without having the root of Christianity in their philosophy. Some of the stronger races have made the attempt, and they have failed. Christianity may not be said to be a failure in America for the reason that it has never been given a fair trial by those who profess to have a monopoly of it. They have never really practiced it nor accepted what it teaches. Until it has been given a fair trial it were well to suspend judgment on it. That which now passes for Christianity is a libel upon that which Jesus Christ, its Founder, taught and practiced 1900 years ago, for it embraced in its broad folds men of every race and nation and recognized God as our common Father and all men as brethren. Modern Christianity does not go quite as far as this. Might Go Further. "She paints her eyebrows." "Well, she has to draw the line some where."—Columbia Jester. BATTLE HYMN OF THE NEGRO Davie Writes Thrilling Poem In Memory of Dr. Washington. The "Battle Hymn of the Negro" was written by William H. Davis of Washington and is dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. Mr. Davis is the official stenographer for the National Negro Business league, in which position he has rendered valuable service. The "Battle Hymn of the Negro" is to be sung to the tune of Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The hymn: Our eyes have seen the glory of a Booker Washington. He has fought aewardless battle for the cause right and won. He has made his race respected, though his life on earth is done. His truth is marching on! CHORUS. We have seen him in the watchfires of our race's bitter woes. Beating down the flames of prejudice and making friends of foes. We this forceful pleading, and our metal prowess shows. The work of Washington. Whites and blacks should live together-- For God is marbling on. Oh, be swift our souls to answer, make the victory complete Of Booker Washington. In the hills of "old Virginia" he was born in poverty. With ambition in his bosom, even "up from slavery." As he died to lift men higher; teach our children then to see. The truths of Washington! "THINKING WHITE" DOWN SOUTH. (From The Outlook.) What do the best white people of the South today think of the Negro? What is their attitude toward Negro education? What is the real temper of the leaders in the New South? What do they think about Booker T. Washington's work for Tuskegee and the advancement of over ten million Negroes? The Rev. Dr. John E. White, of Atlanta, Georgia, a fearless exponent of "thinking white in the South," recently stated and frankly answered the incisive questions before several thousand Northern and Southern Negroes who had assembled in the Boston Symphony Hall, primarily to hear Dr. Washington deliver his presidential address to the sixteenth convention of the National Negro Business League. Dr. White said: The relation in the South between the races has never been so happy as it is now. Never has the outlook been so prosperous. The people of the South are "thinking white;" that is, the leaders are giving expression to the best sentiments. The South is now looking upon its millions of Negroes, not as a liability but as an asset. The South is training the Negro for success, for efficiency. The South sees that it is common sense to help the Negro. When the Negro owes something, then he is respectful White people down South think that the Negro is a man. They are saying this out loud. They are praying God to help them deal with the Negro on the basis of humanity. They think that the Negro is distinctly a Southern man. I predict that the time will never come when three-fourths of the Negroes of this country will not be found in the South. The civilization of the South, everything that makes it peculiar and characteristic, centers around the Negro. Indeed, the Negro has sweetened Southern life. Whole communities are shaped by the Negro. Property-owning Southern men do no lynching. Of the sixteen men who were arrested for rioting in Atlanta, for example, not one had his name on the county taxbooks. The race problem is to be solved, not by having a few Negroes with education and culture reach the top, but by having the well-trained Negroes reach down and help up the ladder the black men and women who are below struggling.
