Mrs. John Edward Smith of Hampton, Va., is doing valuable and effective pioneer work. She is winning the confidence and respect of her own people and the best white Virginians through teaching men, women and children how to lead healthier, happier and better lives. As a visiting nurse Mrs. Smith follows up the medical inspections which are being made in the schools among our people in York and Elizabeth City counties by Dr. Roy K. Flannagan and other workers of the Virginia state board of health. Before her marriage to a Hampton tradesman Mrs. Smith was Miss Annie Taylor, who finished her course at Hampton institute in 1890 and was a member of Major Robert R. Moton's class. She was born in Kentville, N. S., in 1868, and after her graduation from Hampton institute took a course in the Dixie Hospital and Training school. In 1894 she received her diploma as a trained nurse. Representative of the Hampton Idea. The Negro Organization society of Virginia recently held a Sunday health mass meeting at Hampton institute to create fresh enthusiasm for the state wide "cleanup campaign." Captain Allen Washington, who will succeed Major Moton as commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, asked Mrs. Smith to speak on "Health Conditions." Mrs. Smith in part said: "This meeting is like a revival. The Negro Organization society has gathered us here from the communities in the county to learn about the religion of health. To fully understand what this society is doing through its efficient workers we should read again the health creed and pledge which were written by Professor John M. Gandy, who is the executive secretary of the Negro Organization society. Presents Thoughtful Health Creed Presents Thoughtful Health Creed. "I believe a sound body is the most precious of all earthly possessions, the foundation of a strong mental life, an important element in the making of moral character, the first essential to any worthy achievement and the greatest factor in a life of happiness. I believe dirt and filth are the copartners of disease and death; cleanliness and abundance of pure, fresh air, plenty of sunlight and the proper disposal of waste from the body are safeguards to good health. "I therefore pledge myself to keep my body clean, my mind free of impure thoughts and my lips of unclean words; as far as possible to live in the open air; to let into my sleeping room sunlight in the day and a full supply of pure, fresh air day and night, winter and summer; to wage a deadly warfare against files and mosquitoes; to do whatever I can to encourage good health for my community. Death Rate In Elizabeth City County. "The Elizabeth City county board of health for a month or more has reported no contagious diseases. The number of deaths among colored people, however, has exceeded the number of deaths among white people each month for the past four years with only one or two exceptions. The number of deaths among our people some months has been double that of the whites. I am sure that in many cases, if the simple laws of health had been regarded, the number of deaths might have been less. "I have visited some beautiful modern homes owned by our people, and I have also visited the humble cabins that anybody could spend the night in. I have entered some homes into which preachers, teachers and even doctors hardly ever go. Some people are indifferent. They don't seem to try to make the most of what they have. I have found that even indifferent people are sometimes willing to listen to a stranger who will help them. Spirit of Cleanup Should Continue. "We want the spirit of 'cleanup week' to last all the year, especially in the winter time, when dirt seems to accumulate so fast. While cleaning up do not forget to look after your well. Good, pure water means health. The Virginia state board of health has carried on the work of medical inspection in the colored county schools. In seven schools the inspectors found over 500 children suffering from defects which interfered with their school work. "To interest the children in their own health problem we have had instructive lectures and demonstrations by our own doctors. Dr. Lattimore and Dr. Atkins, both of Hampton, have been especially helpful." POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Prepared by Chas. Sumner Smith for James A. Peterson, for which $10.00 will be paid. JAMES A. PETERSON Republican Candidate for Lieutenant Governor. James A. Peterson of Minneapolis is a candidate for the Republican Nomination for Lieut. Governor. He is a native of Wisconsin and a lawyer of recognized ability. He has practiced law in Minneapolis nearly 30 years. Mr. Peterson has always shown his friendship for the Negro race. He has not objected to them residing in respectable localities if they are respectable. He does not believe in segregation or racial discrimination, and is an advocate for "Equal rights for all." Atty. Peterson was one of the candidates for Governor in 1914. He did not get the nomination, but supported Hon. W. E. Lee, the nominee of the Republican party. He recently withdrew from the field of candidates for Governor, and sought the position of Lieut. Gov. This is a most important position, requiring executive ability and integrity. Ex. Gov. Eberhart and our present Gov. Burnquist, were called to the executive chair to fill unexpired terms, and it is important that the people of Minnesota elect as Lieut. Governor a man, able to fill the highest office. AIDS THE MANASSAS SCHOOL Rosenwald to Give $1,000 Annually to Worthy Virginia Institution. SMOKE THE RELIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. MAY 13, 1916. IRISH EDITOR SHOT WITHOUT A TRIAL; DUBLIN IS STIRRED EXECUTION FORMS CLIMAX OF FAST GROWING RESENTMENT KILLED BEFORE MARTIAL LAW WAS PROCLAIMED. BARON WINBORNE RESIGNS POST AS LORD LIEUTENANT Commission Appointed to Investigate Causes of Irish Outbreak—Special Session of House to Discuss Executions—Redmond Denounces Rebellious Movement. Lendon, May 12.—Premier Asquith informed the House that Sir Roger Casement, who was captured on attempting to land in Ireland to lead the rebellion, would be placed on trial on Monday. London, May 12.—Ireland provided a number of sensations for one day. The first was the announcement of the resignation of Baron Wimborne, lord Ileutenant. The second was the appointment of a commission headed by Lord Hardinge to investigate the causes of the Irish outbreak. The third was the admission by the government that F. Sheehy Skelfington, editor of the Irish Citizen, and two other journalists had been executed in the Porto Bello barracks in Dublin, without the knowledge of the military authorities and before martial law was actually in operation. House to Discuss Executions A fourth was the granting of the veteran Dillon's demand for a special session of the House of Commons to discuss the executions in Ireland and finally the issue of an important manifesto to the Irish people by John Redmond strongly denouncing the rebellious movement and eloquently appealing to Ireland to stand fast by constitutional means to secure self-government. Of these important events by far the most sensational was the revelation concerning Sheffington, which formed the climax of the fast growing resentment of the Irish people at the continuance of the executions in Dublin which has already given the government pause and induced Premier Asquith to announce that there will be no more executions pending the parliamentary discussion, although there are two rebels still awaiting execution. Incident Causes Indignation. Premier Asquith announced in parliament that the trials by court-martial had virtually finished. He hoped that there would be no further need to proceed with extreme rigor. While there is considerable difference of opinion as to whether it is safe to revoke martial law in Ireland yet, and many members of both houses are satisfied that Major General Sir John Maxwell's severity was fully justified, the Skeffington incident causes indignation. He was shot on April 26. Martial law came into operation on April 28. The prime minister described the shooting as an "isolated act of an irresponsible individual, who was immediately placed under arrest." HARMONY PLACED BEFORE T. R. BY THE PROGRESSIVES Third Party Will Not Insist Upon the Nomination of Reosevelt, Says Perkins. New York, May 11.—The Progressive party will not insist upon the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for president of the United States if the Republicans will name a candidate at Chicago "who stands for Progressive principles and is able to put them through," according to a statement made here by George W. Perkins, after a meeting of the executive committee of the Progressive national committee. "We, of course, are for Colonel Roosevelt," declared Mr. Perkins, "and shall suggest his name to the Republicans. If they reply that they will not agree on the colonel, we shall ask them to name as their man, one who ought to be as nearly unanimous a choice as our man is. We are willing to be reasonable for the sake of harmony." Snow Covers Fruit Blesssema. Baker, Ore., May 11:—Fruit blesssoms here are covered with snow. Nearly an inch fell during the early morning.

SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION MEXICO TO ASK U.S. TO WITHDRAW PART OF PUNITIVE ARMY OBREGON BELIEVES SIZE OF PER SHING'S FORCE IS OUT OF PROPORTION TO ITS MISSION. NEXT BORDER CONFERENCE PROBABLY WILL BE LAST Scott and Funsten Are Unalterably Opposed to Any Change in Tentative Agreement Which Might Set Date for Recall of Treops From Mexico. El Paso, Texas, May 12.—Negotiations over American troops disposition in Mexico have made no further progress. General Obregon awaited word from General Carranza as to the course he is now to pursue and when instructions did not come, a conference which had been proposed for the morning was postponed. Falling in their efforts to have a definite date of withdrawal set, it was reported that the Mexican government may next try to have part of the American troops taken out at once, leaving the remainder to co-operate with the forces of the de facto government in the pursuit of Villa groups. Object to Size of Army. The report, which could not be confirmed, had it that the Mexicans believe the size of General Pershing's army is out of all proportion to its mission—the extermination of a few hundred bandits—and that a much smaller force would answer the purpose. A partial withdrawal, it is argued, would have a good political influence in Mexico. In an authoritative quarter the belief was expressed that the meeting would be the last of the conferences and that General Obregon would indorse the tentative agreement with perhaps a few minor changes. Generals Scott and Funston are unalterably opposed to any change in the tentative agreement which might set a date for American withdrawal from Mexico. Joint Border Patrol Proposed. General Obregon's proposal for a joint troop patrol of the border is not given serious consideration, although it was reported to Washington. The American conference doubt if the de facto government can muster sufficient forces to form a patrol of the sort outlined and at the same time carry on its campaign against the Zapata and Villa forces. Funston Still at El Paso. Although General Funston is urgently needed at Fort Sam Houston, Sam Antonio, to direct the mobilization and disposition of the 10,000 additional troops ordered to the border, General Scott advised that he remain here to take part in the conference. It was pointed out that the American chief of staff hardly would keep his fellow conferee away from his headquarters if the situation imperatively demanded any important military preparations. BANDITS AGAIN CROSS LINE INTO AMERICAN TERRITORY Villistas Ralded Boquillas, According to Mexican Consul—U. S. Troops Trailing Outlaws. Marathon, Tex., May 12.—Approximately 4 bandits crossed to the American side of the Rio Grande above Eagle Pass and rode up and down the river for several miles, without doing any apparent damage, according to a report here. A detachment of the Nineteenth infantry was sent to the scene. Major Langhorne and his command are well over the river into Mexico. Colonel Sibley, who left here for Boquillas to command the expedition, refused to say whether or not Major Langhorne had instructions to go across the line. Y. M. Vasques, Mexican consul at Del Rio, Tex., who went to Boquillas at the instance of his government to investigate the raid, has returned. He says he has established beyond doubt that the Boquillas raiders were Villistas. "That cat must think she's prettier than I am." "Why so, Vanessa?"

How the National Training School Endeavors to Meet the Needs of the Masses Through Groups of Trained Leaders—Stands For Literary Excellence and Industrial Superiority. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Among the many institutions for normal, industrial or higher education for the colored people of the country the National Training school, Durham, N. C., of which Dr. James E. Shepard is the president, occupies a conspicuous place. The work of the institution for the school year of 1916 has registered a high mark of efficiency. The accommodations for students and the splendid courses of study are salient features of the school which have given it a nation wide influence. To the people of North Carolina and the south generally the institution is valued as it were a pearl of great price. This is as it should be, for we should never expect to get the best results from our business, religious or educational institutions unless we conduct them on a high plane of efficiency and with an eye single to the public good. In the development of the National Training school Dr. Shepard has advanced many original and construc- DR. JAMES B. SHEPARD. tive ideas which time and experience have proved to be of great benefit, not only to his school alone, but to educators and educational institutions in many other sections of the country. In founding and conducting this school on a sound business basis so successfully in Durham Dr. Shepard has registered his name among the foremost educators of America. For the future he aims to have a thorough teacher training course especially adapted to the needs of the rural teacher. A bureau of investigation to study the social, moral, physical and economic condition of the colored people in order to more wisely co-operate with organized bodies and civic authorities in advancing the cause of education and general uplift movements among our people is another feature of work Dr. Shepard proposes to develop. The board of trustees has made a budget of $221,000 to be used for the following purposes: For the endowment fund, $250,000; for administration building and class rooms, $30,000; for dormitories, $20,000, and for a central heating and water plant, $15,000. The board says: "Large schools cannot do the real constructive work absolutely needed to develop a young race; hence if a particular group of well selected persons are reached and trained and sent out to reach and train others it is a vast saving of time and money. The prime aim is to lift the race into racial consciousness, thus helping it to come into its own, and by serving and lifting itself it will also serve and materially aid the state and the nation." The institution is supported entirely by free will offerings. The monthly expenses are $1,500. Notwithstanding this large amount which Dr. Shepard has to raise each month, he has managed thus far in these hard times to keep the school going. The institution covers a field peculiarly its own and plans to do the work covered by no other school. In self government, thrift and singleness of purpose the student body takes high rank. Briefly the National Training school stands for directing the so called emotionalism of the Negro race into practical working channels, making it a means of uplift instead of destruction; it stands for the training of the 30,000 or more of our ministers, who largely constitute leadership of the race, by giving every day living workable ideas and through them reach over 10,000,000 members of our race in America; it stands for the training of settlement workers, the training of leaders in special lines of work so that each person sent out will have a direct bearing and influence upon hundreds of others, and, finally, it stands for literary excellence and industrial superiority. MAN OF GREAT INFLUENCE Success of the Rev. Richard Carroll of Columbia, S. C. By GEORGE F. KING. Columbia, S. C.—Thousands of people of both races throughout Texas and Arkansas taxed the large auditoriums of churches in those states to hear what hundreds of the most representative people of these states said were the ablest and most instructive lectures to men and women that have been delivered in Texas and Arkansas for many years during the recent tour of that great South Carolinian, the Rev. Richard Carroll. He gave lectures of vital importance to the race in his characteristic manner, brimful of practical advice and inspiration, which have made him a man of national import. For twenty years he has been known as a gifted lecturer and preacher and has by his remarkable ability and style reached thousands of his race and turned their activities into channels of higher usefulness. During his recent tour, which closed with unprecedented success, it was proved, as it has been wherever he labored, that he is a born leader. This fact looms up largely in South Carolina, where even Ben Tillman is in the saddle and says: "No colored man in the state has the influence with all classes of white people that Carroll has. He has the influence and co-operation of the best people in the state." United States Minister W. E. Gonzales, in Cuba, is among the many white men who pay tribute to his character. In his common sense way he takes a stand for right and does not once compromise with the enemies of his race. There are very few Afro-Americans in any part of the country who can register their opinion in no uncertain tones before an audience in the south as this remarkable character, who is often invited to address audiences of the most influential southern white people. His experiences in trying to bring about an amicable relationship between the races, especially in this state, are strikingly interesting. His peculiar frankness in dealing with this all important race subject and dynamic force of personality and sincerity have placed him high in the estimation of the best people of both races, and there is no man in South Carolina who can command the co-operation on the part of every element of Afro-Americans as can the Rev. Mr. Carroll. His life has been devoted to philanthropic movements, and his charitable endeavors are signally evidenced by giving his life for destitute children and contributing his finances for the education of a large number of them. Another phase of his activities is the finding of homes for the homeless. The colored farmers of South Carolina have found in him every quality of a leader, and as an attestation of this fact is the most excellent support given him in every movement he has launched, especially the South Carolina state fair, of which he was the organizer and first president, and the Batesburg fair, Batesburg, S. C. These fairs are remarkable evidences of the Negro's achievements and aspirations and have elicited nation wide comment. The Rev. Mr. Carroll was educated at Benedict college, and spent one year in study at Shaw university. He was highly successful in the pastorate in Greenville, Alken and other rural charges in this state. For eleven years he labored assiduously as Sunday school missionary in South Carolina and Florida for the American Baptist Publication society, and the Baptist denomination work was made more effective in these states by him. When the Hispano-American war was declared Senator Tillman made Mr. Carroll chaplain of the Tenth United States volunteers, and since that time the public demanded that he should labor among them in various sections of the south. The Rev. Mr. Carroll married Miss Mary Simms, the first graduate of Benedict college. By this marriage he has four children—Dr. Ruth Carroll, Professor Barnabas R. Carroll, Seymour and Mary Crozer Carroll. Mrs. Carroll labored with him until her death. In 1914 Mr. Carroll married Miss Corie J. McDaniel of Laurens, S. C., who is also a graduate of Benedict college. SOCIAL NEWS EDITOR, Miss Clara Lucas, 506 Boston Block, Minneapolis. Minneapolis, - - Minn Milwaukee Depot, Minneapolis.

IVERSON IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR PROMISES BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND REDUGCED TAXATION IF ELECTED—STANDS FOR BETTER MINNESOTA. EFFICIENT SERVICE IS KEYNOTE OF PLATFORM Just Enforcement of Laws and Development of State's Resources. Would Be Assured by Selection of Minnesota's Ideal Candidate at Address to Veteran. Managers of American industries lead the world in organisation, efficiency, service and economy of operation. Why? Because skill, experience, training and competency are demanded of all; the best expert service is always employed. If you are going to build a house would you employ a doctor? Railroads do not select even successful merchants for superintendents. A very able farmer would not expect to head a farm machinery factory. Yet taxpayers and voters who are the government stockholders, too often, wholly disregard plain business sense when they elect an agent to look after their public business. Public affairs are far more important than private enterprises. Minnesota is a greater institution than all its private business concerns combined. Besides collecting and spending in its operation a million dollars a month, the state should promote the health, happiness and prosperity of its citizens, and its policies and principles should bless the lives of oncoming millions. The state is a great mutual cooperative organization, and the governor or manager should be a man whose ability, intelligence, training and vision are broad enough to assist and direct the work of the various state institutions and departments, and whose heart and sympathy is with the people in all walks of life. The "Iverson Club" of Rushford presents to the voters of Minnesota an ideal candidate for governor to be selected at the primaries on June 19th, in the person of Hon. Samuel G. Iverson. His life, both private and public is an open book. He has been tried in many official positions, and for twelve years was the executive head of the State Auditor's and Land Departments. He has always stood right on progressive principles. We know him as a man of ability, character and convictions, who has the courage to do what is right. This appeal is made to business men, taxpayers and all friends of good government. Whereas a widespread discontent prevails over the state because of reckless extravagance in public expenditures, causing ever increasing taxation, retarding immigration and development, and tending to wasteful inefficiency; and serious anxiety exists because of a failure to maintain the dignity of the people's laws by a fair and just enforcement, and Whereas, the state is the central power and for its governor or executive should elect the man who in ability, experience and training is the best qualified to serve all the people in that great office; one who has an intimate knowledge of the state, its people and resources, and who has the courage to give a square deal to all, and. Whereas, the Hon. Samuel G. Iverson, a native of this city, for twelve years our State Auditor, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, is a man who possesses the qualifications to acceptably fill that exalted position, therefore. Be it resolved, that we, as citizens of the City of Rushford here assembled, do hereby organize an "Iverson Club" for the purpose of furthering the candidacy of Samuel G. Iverson for governor, and each member pledges himself to act as a committee of one to use all honorable means to aid his nomination and election, and. Resolved, further that we recommend this native son of Minnesota, the product of our schools and State University, to the voters of the state, as a man with a clean record in both private and public life, and who has always been fair and fearless in the discharge of his official duties. And, we his old friends and neighbors, volunteer our support and urge the election of Mr. Iverson, knowing him to be a man admirably equipped in all respects for an administration of business efficiency, economy and law enforcement, and a man who stands for and who will promote the highest ideals of American citizenship. The above resolutions were unanimously adopted this 5th day of May, 1944. Resolutions. DR. R. V. WILLIAMS, President A. K.

A Test of Friendship Just before Artemus Ward's death Robertson poured out some medicine and offered it to the sick man, who said, "My dear Tom. I won't take any more of that horrible stuff." Robertson urged him to swallow the mixture, saying, "Do, now—there's a dear fellow—for my sake. You know I would do anything for you." "Would you?" said Ward feebly, grasping his friend's hand for the last time. "I would indeed," said Robertson. "Then you take it." Ward passed away a few hours afterward—"Recollections of the Bancrofts." SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION SUNDAY SERVICES 11:00 A. M. Preaching. 12:50 P. M. The Bible School. G. W. Willis, Supt. 6:45 P. M.

LIBERAL SUBSCRIPTION Defective Pa ve Page Judge Gilbert of Manila Pays Fine Tribute to Noted Musiolan. Judge Gilbert of Manila, speaking for the people of Manila to Major Walter H. Loving upon the latter's retirement as leader of the Philippine constabulary band, in part said: "Major Loving, it is my very great pleasure to have been selected to voice for the community something of its appreciation of you and of your great musical organization. Your departure at this time is a poignant grief to the community. "As long as life shall endure with any of us your name will be remembered and your achievement recalled with the keenest pleasure. You have accomplished a wonderful thing. Other men have directed great bands; but, as a rule, they have been able to select the best trained musicians from which to form them. "You in a great measure have trained the individual musicians who compose your organization. It has been a unique achievement. Your name and your fame are known wherever great music is heard. But, more than this, you have wrought this success with a modesty which has been becoming. Again and again you heard the plaudits of the multitude and yet have preserved the unassuming demeanor of the really great man. "All of us have seen many a man ruined by applause. Moderate success has frequently been transformed into utter failure because, to use a common phrase, one could not stand success. Not so with you. Through the years you have wrought unceasingly. Every day has brought its task, and to this task you have given your all. You leave us now, and you leave us all your debtors. "The burden of the toll of many a day has been lightened for us all by the sweet strains of your music. Lives have been elevated, conduct has been rectified, souls have been strengthened and sleep has been sweetened because you have lived and worked among us. "There can be no better measure of a successful life than the amount of happiness that life has brought to others. Measured thus, you have achieved a great success. "You are going from us. We believe you will soon return. We will need you here. These men about you will need you. They know your worth. They know what you have done for them. We, the citizens, will need you. Regardless of race or color, regardless of religious or political views, regardless of station, high or low, we will need you. We are selfish. We want you back. Be assured that if your health permits we will have you back. You belong to us." PRIZES FOR LITERARY WORK. Dr. R. R. Wright Offers Gold Medals For Ode and Essay. The general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which convenes at the Bethel A. M. E. church, Philadelphia, Wednesday, May 3, will be one of the largest gatherings of the denomination to be held in 1916. The occasion will mark the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the church by Richard Allen. In order to create interest and enthusiasm among all members of the denomination Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, has offered two gold medal prizes, the first to the person who composes the best centennial ode of African Methodism and the second to the Sunday school or Allen league member who writes the best essay on Richard Allen. The essay is not to exceed 1,000 words. The manuscript should be sent to Dr. Wright as soon as possible, as it has been arranged to announce the names of the winners not later than May 10. The judges will consist of one bishop, one literary critic or magazine editor and two teachers of English. SOUTH TIRES OF MOB LAW. New Organization Formed to Conduct Campaign Against Lynching. An organization to be known as the New Association of Southern Church Colleges has been formed in Alabama for the purpose of conducting an educational campaign against lynching in the south. The association is composed of eighteen southern institutions of learning, and its president is Dr. C. M. Bishop of the Texas Presbyterian college. Forty southern schools have signified their desire to aid in carrying on the purpose of the new association. This is a move in the right direction, which will accomplish great good. No doubt the south feels very keenly the disgrace heaped upon it by the practice of the mobs, which take away the lives of human beings whether guilty or innocent. COMMON PEOPLE. Although some do not agree with me, the common people are very useful to this country and should be treated with more consideration now than ever. The time is coming when the common people will become a great factor in this country, and if the country does not give them more recognition they will make the country give it to them.—William G. McAdoo. TELLING POINTS IN MAJOR CHARLES YOUNG'S CAREER Gallant Soldier Stood Test In School and Rose to Fame. According to the record, only three colored young men have ever graduated from the United States Military school at West Point—Lieutenants Flipper, Alexander and Young. Lieutenant Alexander died about nineteen years ago, and Flipper is not now in the service. Major Charles Young, to whom the second annual Spingarn medal was awarded in Boston on the evening of Feb. 28, is a former first lieutenant of the Ninth United States cavalry. It has required an extraordinary degree of courage for colored men to face and live through the four years of petty persecutions and race hatred in the government military school. The colored man who is fortunate enough to get the appointment and smart enough to pass the examinations and sterling enough in the qualities of manliness to complete the course and graduate deserves the very highest commendation. Major Young is about forty-seven years of age. His father was a gallant soldier in the Federal army during the rebellion. He moved over into Brown county, O., for the purpose of giving his son the best possible education. After graduating from the Ripley high school at the age of sixteen years Charles applied himself diligently to the study of Greek and Latin preparatory to entering a Jesuit college in Cincinnati. His ambition then was to become a priest. His diligent study after he left school and while teaching was fitting him for an opportunity that he little dreamed of. After two years of such preparation he entered a competitive examination for a cadetship from the Twelfth Ohio, congressional district and won the appointment over twenty-seven competitors. After graduating he served five years with the fighting Ninth United States cavalry. Three years of the time he acted as post adjutant and post quartermaster, in addition to his duties as second Neutenant. In 1894 President Cleveland assigned him to duty at Wilberforce university, Ohio, as professor of military tactics and science. His work at this school was of the highest character. The reports that have been sent to Washington by the inspection officers show that the students of Wilberforce under Major Young's training are among the best drilled found in any of the colleges. The white students of Antioch college have been glad to avail themselves of Mr. Young's mastery in the art of drilling. He was detailed by the war department for the inspection and instruction of the Ninth battalion of the Ohio national guard, in camp at Newark, O. In this work he was ably assisted by the students of his own training from Wilberforce university. He won his commission as first lieutenant by examination at Jeavenworth, Kan. SOUTHERN RACE PREJUDICE. Various Schemes Tried to Thwart the Progress of Colored Americans. One of the problems that comes up annually in the various states of the south is that relative to the propriety and good policy of allowing white teachers in schools for colored people. Probably there is not a state whose legislators have not been forced to consider such a bill, usually with the result that it meets with overwhelming defeat. Mississippi is now wrestling with the problem, a bill having been introduced by Representative Stevens of Clay county recently, which would make it unlawful for any person to serve as a teacher in any school in the state attended by pupils of a different race. Mr. Stevens frankly states that the measure was designed to stop the teaching of colored youth by white persons and that it would apply to public and private schools alike, so it is said. Southern editors and southern educators have inveighed against bills of this character for years, but this does not prevent their introduction. The bill now up in Mississippi is getting its full share of condemnation by southern editors. It is pointed out that if the Negro is to be taught at all it would be infinitely better for the white people if he were taught by white people, who could see that harmful, even dangerous, ideas and ideals are not instilled into his mind; that one thing for which the south is striving is to improve the mind and the habits of the Negro, and that to make a lawbreaker out of a white person who devotes her time and her talents to the education and uplift another race would be the acme of shame is one view of the matter. In this connection an interesting experiment is being tried by a southern newspaper. Each morning a special section devoted to the activities of colored people, socially as well as otherwise, is printed. After the paper is run off one page is lifted, and in its stead is published a page about the colored race, which is sent to those colored persons who are subscribers to the paper. New Home For New York Y. M. C. A. Plans for the new building of the West Fifty-third street branch of the New York Young Men's Christian association are being drawn by John F. Jackson. Work on the building will be begun on May 1. The land and structure will cost about $180,000. The building will be located in Harlem at West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, near Seventh avenue. THE TWIN CITY STAR STATE SUFFRAGISTS TO TAKE PART IN MONSTER PARADES Will Help Fight for Plank in National Party Platforms. 40,000 Women Expected to March at Chicago on June 7. Minnesota suffragists are planning to take a part in the big suffrage demonstrations which have been planned by the National American Woman Suffrage association in connection with the two national political conventions to be held in Chicago and St. Louis. The Minnesota State Suffrage association has been asked by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national president, to send a state delegation to both conventions if possible. Details of the character of the suffrage demonstration planned for St. Louis are not yet announced, but Mrs. Catt fully outlines the plans for the Chicago convention, which will open June 7. Suffrage Parade Planned. A great national suffrage parade in Chicago on the afternoon of June 7 is the plan. It is the hope to have not fewer than 40,000 women in line. In the letter which Mrs. Catt has recently sent out, and which is now under consideration by the Minnesota Suffrage association, she says: "We hope that every state in the Union will be represented. There are people living in Chicago from every state, and it is well for the suffragists in each state to communicate with those known to them in Chicago and to invite them to join the state ranks. We are hopeful that all the better organized states will send at least one carload of women to Chicago for the parade, and a hundred if possible. The conditions are that each state delegation shall wear a uniform costume. White is preferable, but not obligatory, but all marchers from each state should wear the same color. A sash bearing the name of the state and a uniform hat are necessary to give a good appearance in the march. If the delegation from the state is large a band would be necessary. All the banners any state desires may be carried, but the form, color and slogans should be submitted to the Chicago committee in order to avoid duplication. Minnesota to Be Represented. "It is needless to say that the only short cut to final suffrage is a plank in the platforms of the two dominant parties. It is therefore well worth our while to show that the women of the entire nation are making this request, and we urgently invite you to send women to both Chicago and St Louis." It is already certain that Minnesota suffragists will be represented in the Chicago parade. At least twenty-five suffragists will attend, and since a number of Minneapolis women are planning to go to the convention with their husbands those of the number who are suffragists will be asked to join in the Minnesota section of the Chicago suffrage parade. Chivalry Is Dead. Chivalry is dead. His funeral was held at the Union League club in New York city, Elihu Root presiding. During the ceremony a committee was appointed to work against all bills for woman suffrage in the New York legislature. The committee will appear at Albany, where they will exhibit the fitness of the oldest and strongest to guide forever the destinies of the state. VOTES FOR FRENCH WOMEN In France, M. Urbain Gohier, a leading journalist, has inaugurated a strong campaign for women suffrage as a reward for war service on the part of French women. He writes: "Since men have been sent to the army the women have replaced them in practically every occupation. "French women are working fourteen hours daily in the munitions factories, on the farms and in public utilities. They then go home to care for their children. "War crosses numbering 182,600 have been awarded to the men. The women are entitled to just as many, but what they really want to save them from the hospitals and the sidewalks is the vote. In that way alone can the sweated female labor, which has increased greatly through the war, be abolished." A SUFFRAGE WAR COUNCIL Around the old fireplace where statesmen toasted their shins long ago can be seen nightly the militant scouts for the cause of woman suffrage recounting the exploits of the day and planning a campaign for the next. "Say, girls, I just met dear old Senator Blank waddling down Pennsylvania avenue. I asked him if he would vote for the amendment and what do you think he said? Chorus—"Woman's place is the home." "No. He said, 'Right will prevail.' He's getting warmer."—The Metropolitan Magazine for March. SMOKE THE BEST 5C CIGAR Sight Draft W. S CONRAD CO., Distributors NO. 140. E. 6th ST., ST. PAUL. NO. 1.

It teaches that race prejudice is the most evil thing in the world today and that "Jim Crow" cars, race segregation, anti-intermarriage laws and all other manifestations of it are unchristian and cruel efforts of the stronger to oppress the weaker. 2. It combats in the courts, state legislatures, the Halls of Congress, the government departments and everywhere the spirit of persecution against the Colored People which grows out of race prejudice. 3. It aims to bring about such a healthy public sentiment in this land that Colored People will be accorded all their social, civil and political rights and will receive exact justice in all the relations of life. 4. It believes in and teaches the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and the equality of all races in our American civilization. 5. It aims to uphold the honor of our women by opposing the passage of anti-race inter-marriage lawa. 6. It is composed of members of both races and sexes on terms of complete equality and as brothers and sisters in this holy cause of freedom. An Appeal for Funds. The Association needs money and new members. It costs just one dollar to join. If you believe in fair play, in fighting for your rights, if you believe in organization and cooperation, join this Association and do your bit toward advancing the race and therby helping to make human brotherhood a reality and not a fiction Send One Dollar to the undersigned and join in this great work.

Easily, the greatest forward race movement of the age is the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and the leading spirit among them the President; Mrs. Booker T. Washington. Emerging from the gloom which has recently enveloped her, she has apparently re-consecrated her life to the uplift of the race, and by her helpful mesages of encouragement to club leaders all all over the country is inspiring officers, department heads and members to a greater activity than ever before been evinced in the work. The next Bi-ennial will be held at Baltimore, Md., in August. Mrs. Washington presiding. This meeting bids fair to be the most interesting in the history of the Association. The meeting in 1912 at Hampton was intensely interesting and inspiring; that at Wilberforce in 1914 was wonderful and far reaching in its effects — a wonderful group of women, showing a remarkable insight in the philosophy of life and demonstrating a constructive ability which portends wonderful results in the next few years. "On to Baltimore" is the slogan of every race organization of women, and where the women are the men will likewise be found. By courtesy of the editor I shall from time to time issue information through the columns of this paper, relative to the great Bi-ennial at Baltimore in August. Mrs. W. T. Francis, St. Paul Minn.

Kansas City, Mo.—The local Business league of this city has commenced in earnest preparations to entertain the National Negro Business league, which meets here from Aug. 16 to 18 inclusive. A membership campaign is being conducted, from which it is hoped at least 1,000 new members may be added to the league. This membership campaign will be followed by the appointment of committees to complete the plans already outlined. Mr. and Mrs. Fortune J. Weaver are the leading spirits in the movement here. In this they will be joined by the leading men and women of Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., and all the surrounding towns will fall in line to forward the work. The Missouri people are determined to make this the greatest session of the league in its history and will give to the national body more members, annual and Life, than any other place. All of this will be worked out in the program of preparation. Charles Stewart, A. M., the noted writer, was in the city early in March conferring with the local newspapers and other leaders here. The local league gave Dr. Stewart a banquet. He delivered several talks, including one at the Y. M. C. A., visited the schools and churches and talked with a number of the ministers. He was the guest of the young Kansas poet, Tilford Davis. From his talks the people received much information and inspiration. Professor J. R. E. Lee, principal of the Lincoln high school, who was connected with the Tuskegee institute for a number of years, will co-operate with the local committee. He is a valuable man in affairs of this kind. Hon. John M. Wright of Topeka, Kan., will be directly interested in the success of the league and will bring a large delegation from Topeka. The place for holding the sessions of the league will soon be announced, as well as many of the social functions. Perhaps a trip will be made to the potato farm of Mr. Groves, the Negro "potato king." The farmers around Kansas City are getting together and will attend the sessions of the league in a body. It is about thirty minutes' ride from Kansas City on a street car to Mr. Groves' farm. ECONOMY. One of the greatest curses of American civilization today is the fact that it is unfashionable to save and that the people are ashamed to save, while extravagance, waste and carelessness are looked upon as smart and signs of prosperity.—Roger W. Babson. Changed Views. "Time makes a big difference." "What are you thinking of?" "My wife's father. I used to think him a stubborn old fool. Now I respect his judgment." "What's happened?" "Nothing; only he did his durdest to prevent my eloping with his daughter."—Detroit Free Press.

We call the attention of our readers to Mother's Day, Sunday, May 14th. The white carnation has been selected as an emblem of respect to Mother, whether living or dead. All of us have, or have had, good mothers, but the Editor of the Star has the best mother. She is alive today and en- joys the fruits of a well spent life. All that we are, or can ever hope to be, is due to our parents, of whom we are justly proud, And while we pay our tribute of respect to mother, we owe much to father and let's wear the white carnation for mother and father. We acknowledge with thanks the invitation to be present at The In- auguration of Robt.

ROOSEVELT ON THE “WILSON ULTIMATUM.” “They Don't Ultimate,” He says. New York, May 10.—“I haven't any interest in ultimatums that fail to ulti- mate,” remarked Colonel Roosevelt today, commenting on the Wilson re- joinder to the German submarine con- cessions. » “The latest Wilson note is up to his usual standard,” he continued “Whether they apply to Villa, Obre- gon, Carranza or the German empire, I don’t care for ultimatums that don’t ultimate. Is it peculiar that we adopt one standard toward Hayti be- ‘cause it is small and another towards Mexico, because it is bigger. It is indefensible.” NEWSPAPER MEN INDICTED. ‘The recent grand jury of Hennepin county returned indictments against the staff of The Twin City Reporter, a legal newspaper for placing scan- dalous news in the hands of news- boys—Several sensational _ articles have been published in The Reporter which might have been true or partly true, because there have been no law- suits or indictments for criminal libel. This indictment, brought under an old statute, may be used more for the pro- tection of private individuals and in- timidation of publishers, than for the morals of newsboys. The Reporter ia subject to Federal investigation, as second class mail matter, and it ap- pears that the officials have not made a case against it. We have had our grievances with The Reporter, but do not see why this grand jury should act on the question of “Scandalous news,” unless their action was re: quested by some person interested in the premises. Does the grand jury intend to intimidate the press, or do they intend to make Editor Guilford drink his “cup of hemlock” for cor- rupting the lyouth (?) or for expos- ing the private life of big individuals? The result is important to all news- paper publishers, WILSON SENDS REPLY; _ WILL HOLD GERMANY TO PROMISES IN NOTE Kaiser Admits That U-Boat Torpedoed Steamer Sussex ‘Washington, May 10.—Following is the text of the note cabled by Seore- tary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin with instructions to deliver Mt to the German minister of foreign affairs. “The note of the Imperial German government under date of May 4, 1916, has recelved careful consideration by the government of the United States. It {s especially noted as indicating the purpose of the Imperial German gov- ernment as to the future, that it is prepared to do its utmost to confine the operation of the war for the rest of its duration to the fighting forces of the delligerents, and that it 1s determined to tmpose upon all its commanders at sea the limitations of the recognized rules of international law upon which the government of the United States has insisted. Guided by Friendship, “Throughout the months which have elapsed since the Imperial government announced on February 4, 1915, its submarine policy, now happily aban- domed, the government of the United States has been constantly guided and restrained by motives of friendship in its patient efforts to bring to an amic- ‘able settlement the critical questions arising from that policy. “Accepting the Imperial govern- ment's declaration of its abandonment of the policy which has so seriously menaced the good relations between the two countries, the government of the United States will rely on a scru- pulous execution henceforth of the row altered policy of the Imperial gov- ernment, as such as will remove the principal danger to an interruption of the good relations existing between the United States and Germany.

Entitled to Immunity. Lendon, May 11.—American Consul Frost at Queenstown has wired con- firmation of press reports that the White Star liner Cymric, torpedoed with the loss of five lives, was attack- ed without warning. Frost also confirmed the statement that there were no Americans aboard ‘the Cymrio and that she was not arm- ed, It was authoritatively stated that the Cymric was not in admiralty ser- vice. As an ordinary merchantman she was entitited to all the immunities granted by Germany in her pledges to the United States in the reply to the American note. Special dispatohes all agree that the Cymric did not attempt to escape. NO BREAK OVER CYMRIC 3 ees See Sere London, May 11.—In official circles here it is not anticipated that the sink- ing of the White Star Liner Cymric will cause a breach between Germany and the United States. While, according to the admiralty, the Cymric was an ordinary freighter on which the government was sending freight in common with private ship- pers, the fact that no Americans were on board and the doubtful status of the ship create a belief that Washington fs hardly likely to make an issue of the sinking.

Hew the Colored Troops Fought In Battle of Port Hudson. ‘Under the heading, “The Reason Why,” J. P. Prickett, writing of the valor of the colored soldiers just be- fore the assault on Port Hudson, says: “The assault on Port Hudson was pending. It was to test the fitness of the colored race for freedom, The white colonel of the colored regiment called the colored standard bearer to ‘him and implored lim not to dishonor the flag and bring reproach upon his race by being recteant to duty. ‘This lowly representative of a despised peo- ple replied, ‘I'll bring these colors back ‘with honor or report to God the reason why.” ‘The above ts followed by a poem, which in part is as follows: ‘There, ke ebon statues in the starlight, ‘tood the black brigade, As adown the ranks the colonel strode ‘and walking, silent prayed; Prayed that God might ll with patriot seal each darkened soul and ght Im each lowly breast a bright pathway to freedom's new birthright; ‘That these newborn sons of freedom, im ‘whose swelling hearts and breasts Burmed the memories of centuries of ‘bondage and of wrong, Ta the morrow's dreadful slaughter might ‘as heroes bear the tests, In thelr race's vindication might be brave ‘and true and strong.

An {deal and unique enterprise is the plan of the National Urban league to provide permanent employment for 500 colored families in the warehouses and tobacco plantations in and around Hartford, Conn. ‘This work has heretofore been done by Poles, Italians and other foreign- ers. ‘This spring there has been a serious shortage in this labor, and the growers have been persuaded to use Negroes if a reliable and dependable supply can be obtained. John T. Clark, the secretary of the industrial bureau of the Natfonal Urban league, has made four trips to Hartford and investigated thoroughly the entire situation, and tt 1s upon his report that the league has decided to enter the campaign for the 500 famt- les needed to’ supply the demand in Hartford.
