Councill Receives Warm Support From Both Races—Institution Makes Splendid Headway. Normal, Ala.—That the late William H. Councill, founder of the Agricultural and Mechanical college here, lives in the hearts of the people was shown by the results of the fine commencement recently held in the institution, at which Charles Stewart of Chicago, was the commencement speaker. A large W. S. BUCHANAN. number of white friends of the late educator were present, including Miss Grace T. Walker, secretary to the McCormleks. For the past forty-one years this institution has been an important factor in racial development, and its former standard is kept up by the new president, Professor Walter S. Buchanan. The school was made famous by the late Mr. Councill. He put his life and all of his money into the institution and preached the doctrine of peace and good will, and upheld the idea of industrial as well as college education. His principles, in all essentials, embraced those things that represented the greatest good for the country through an amicable adjustment of all race matters. Professor Walter S. Buchanan, who is now the president of Normal, having been elected at the death of President Councill, is a representative of the younger men and advanced thought and ideas which he is putting into Normal and making it one of the greatest institutions in the south. This young man is one of the best trained men of his race and has been educated to his people and not away from them He is perhaps the youngest president of an A. and M. college in the country, but he is making good and lifting up the young people. His own life and struggles are inspirations to them. He is a product of Tuskegee institute. It was at Tuskegee that he got his foundation, being inspired by the late Booker T. Washington, to be and do something worth while. He got the finishing touches of his education at Lloyd Training school, Boston, and at Harvard university. Coming out of school, he accepted the position as southern agent for Tuskegee institute, and from there was elected president of an industrial school at Corona, Ala., where he did a great big work. When President Council died Professor Buchanan was selected out of many applicants for the position of president of the A. and M. college, although there were many men older than he who had more experience, but the board of control, composed of southern white men, saw in Mr. Buchanan the man needed for the place. Like his predecessor, President Buchanan is thoroughly wedded to the industrial idea and is struggling to make Normal stand more for industrial education than ever before and at the same time for higher education, for there were five to graduate from the college department this year. Theoretical and practical training are combined in the very important branches of horticulture, truck farming, fruit growing, stock raising and dairy farming. Domestic science and domestic arts receive special attention. The girls as well as the boys graduating from the industrial course must not only have the theory, but they must be prepared to do the actual work. They must be able to go into the shop. If a blacksmith, and make a horseshoe, adjust it to the horse's hoof; go into the kitchen, cook and serve a meal, do any kind of sewing, clean and adjust the furniture in a house, serve a meal, etc. His wife, Mrs, Ida Christine Council Buchanan, daughter of the late W. H. Council, is one of the best trained musicians in the race. She is well posted on the work at Normal and is putting her life into the work started by her father and now presided over by her husband. Plans are being perfected for a more extensive work at this school for the 1916-17 term. INTERRACIAL GOOD WILL. Byrd Prillerman Tells Sunday School Workers How It Is Obtained. Professor Byrd Prillerman, president of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, in concluding his address before the recent annual meeting of the West Virginia Sunday School association said: The Negro's interest in the work of the West Virginia Sunday School association dates from the time you declared a special interest in him. This at once attracted his attention. For ever since a party of Negroes took that trip in a Dutch vessel with a party of white men to Jamestown, Va., in 1019, the Negro becomes suspicious when the white man shows any special interest in his welfare. Herein lies one of our most serious problems. The Negro is suspicious of the white man, and the white man is suspicious of him. The best way to convince the Negro of your interest in him is to manifest the same kind of genuine interest that has been shown in him by this association. You have impressed him with your interest by putting a special worker of his own race in the field in the person of Rev. E. C. Page, by making it possible for Rev. H. C. Lyman, D. D., a national worker, to hold a Sunday school institute at the summer school for teachers at the West Virginia Collegiate institute for two sessions and by having the students of that institution to attend your last convention in Charleston in a body. But your most genuine interest has been impressed by Mr. Arthur T. Arnold, your scholarly, consecrated secretary, coming among us and helping us and by the Sunday school institute he had conducted at the West Virginia Collegiate institute last January. It is generally thought by teachers and students that this was the most helpful week in the history of our school. It has not been the practice of your secretary and other workers of this association to grow despondent over the evils the Negro brought with him from heathenism through slavery. But they have heeded the injunction that the strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak. I agree with Macaulay when he says that "there is only one cure for the evils which newly acquired freedom produces, and that cure is freedom. When a prisoner first leaves his cell he cannot bear the light of day; he is unable to discriminate colors or recognize faces. But the remedy is not to remand him to his dungeon, but to accustom him to the rays of the sun. The blaze of truth and liberty may at first dazzle and bewilder nations which have become half blind in the house of bondage. But let them gaze on and they will soon be able to bear it. If men are to wait for liberty till they become wise and good in slavery they may indeed wait forever." The Negro has proved his loyalty to this country by his devotion to her best interests. Who ever heard of a member of this race inciting a strike or leading a mob? Crispus Attucks, a Negro slave, shed the first blood for American liberty. The Negro soldier has fought on the battlefields of every war this country has waged in defense of human liberty. To right his wrongs the Indian uses the tomahawk and scalping knife, the Frenchman applies the torch, the Russian uses dynamite. But the American Negro has fought, bled and died for the flag that enslaved him. "The sweetest song in human story will tell you how, when thundering guns mowed white men down on fields of glory, he stayed at home to save the helpless ones." Competent Census Bureau Employees. The statistical tables of bulletin 129 giving the death rate among the colored population in the United States were prepared by three men of our race who are employees of the bureau of the census—Mr. Charles E. Hall, whose assignment covered population and occupation: Mr. William Jennifer, agriculture and religious statistics, and Mr. Robert Pelham, morality and ownership of homes. The work of Messrs Hall, Jennifer and Pelham bears the stamp of accuracy, palmstaking and efficiency and is a credit to the department, themselves and the race. SMOKE THE REPIABLE SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. JUNE 24, 1916. CONVENTION OF BUSINESS MEN FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM Local Organization In the Missouri City Is Making Ample Preparation For Entertainment of Delegates and Visitors to Seventeenth Annual Session—Encouraging News Sent Out. Tuskegee, Ala.—For forecasting the attendance at an annual meeting of the National Negro Business league, circumstances have never been more auspicious than they are this year. When the cohorts of Negro business men journey westward to Kansas City, Mo., for the seventeenth annual session, which is to be held Aug. 16, 17 and 18, they will find awaiting them "a royal welcome." During the month of August no less than four important organizations will hold their annual sessions in Kansas City, and this will help to make the conditions for attendance more encouraging than ever before. By each organization bringing its quota of visitors the railroads will be in a position to concede the most liberal terms in the way of reduced fare and accommodations. Among the organizations which meet in Kansas City in August are: Missouri State Grand Lodge of Masons, the National Medical association, the National Alliance of Postal Employees, the National Negro Business league, with its affiliated bodies—the National Negro Press association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' association, the National Negro Insurance association, the National Negro Retail Merchants' association and the National Negro Bar association. Kansas City is the pride of the middle west. The white and colored people work together for the development of their city, and by reason of this feeling of good will between the races the colored people enjoy a prosperity along business and educational lines which is a source of inspiration to all who visit Kansas City. Since the first of the year the colored people of Kansas City have been discussing plans and forming preliminary organizations for the comfort and entertainment of the hundreds of visitors who will be their guests during the month of August. No small part of their attention is centering around the coming meeting of the National Negro Business league, and our delegates may be assured a most cordial reception. Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, the popular and aggressive president of the Kansas City local Negro Business league has written the most encouraging letters to the secretary of the National league regarding the prospects for a successful meeting. The first evening session, Aug. 16, will be devoted to memorial exercises in honor of our late president. The program for these exercises will include tributes and reminiscences from persons of national reputation who cooperated with Dr. Washington in bringing the league to its present important proportions. A unique program covering a diversity of practical and helpful subjects will be discussed. The conservation of Negro health was a subject which our late president kept very close to his thoughts. "Races, like individuals, cannot do good work when half sick," was one of his favorite expressions. The officers of the national organization have felt that the members of the league can do no better thing in perpetuating his memory than to carry on this important campaign for better health. This question will be carefully and fully discussed at Kansas City, and representatives from local leagues will be urged to carry back with them to their respective communities suggestions for co-operating with the various local and national health organizations in their efforts to stamp out patent medicine evils and to encourage better living and housing conditions. The officers of the National Negro Business league have watched with much interest the successful efforts of colored merchants in Atlanta. Ga.: Nashville, Tenn., and Pensacola, Fla. for trade expansion through co-operative merchandising and advertising campaigns. It is urged that delegates and members of local Negro business leagues come to Kansas City prepared to discuss plans for operating similar co-operative campaigns in all cities where local leagues are organized. Another important feature to be presented at Kansas City will be a proposal to bring the national league into closer working relationship with local leagues to the end that the national organization may become self sustaining through the active support of local leagues. It is hoped that we may be able to decide upon a vigorous and comprehensive educational campaign for encouraging more patronage with Negro business enterprises and for mutual helpfulness. Aside from the features of national significance which have been enumerated above, the local league at Kansas City will arrange a program of entertainment worthy of the membership of the National Negro Business league, including a banquet in honor of the officers, life members and delegates of the national organization, and sightseeing tours and other features. WHITMAN PROVIDES FOR REGIMENT OF COLORED MEN Race to Enter National Guard on New York Governor's Order. New York.—For the past five years or more a large number of colored citizens of this city have been agitating for the formation of a regiment in the national guard of the state. Companies have been formed and drilled to almost perfection in military tactics and discipline by Colonel Charles W. Filmore. The movement was strongly backed by most of our weekly papers here, but received a setback from time to time. Colonel Filmore has been the most persistent advocate of the regiment idea and has stuck to his "guns." The hearts of all who favor the movement were gladdened by the news from Albany, through the daily papers, and from Governor Charles S. Whitman himself, who made the announcement at Manhattan Casino on the evening of May 25 that the governor had signed an order for the formation of a regiment of colored men for the national guard of the state. Plans for the organization of the regiment are being worked out by the military authorities. Lieutenant Colonel William S. Terryburt, chief surgeon of the division, national guard, and two other medical officers of the militia will have charge of examining applicants for enlistment in the regiment. As the applicants come forward one company will be organized and officers detailed to drill the men. The object will be to organize a model company, and it is believed that there are enough men in this city who have had service in the four colored regiments in the army to make this unit one of the best in the state. As stated above, the struggle of the race to enter the national guard began some five years ago. A bill authorizing the organization of a Negro command in this state passed both houses during the session of the 1911 legislature, but dropped out of sight. In 1912 a petition was sent to Governor Dix with a muster roll of a provisional regiment consisting of a thousand men, signal and hospital corps and twelve uniformed companies asking for incorporation in the national guard, but no further action was taken in the matter. In 1913 the legislature passed a bill for a Negro regiment, with Negro officers, and Governor Sulzer signed the measure. When examinations were held in this city for commissions in the regiment it was found that under the military law candidates would have to follow the same rules laid down for white officers. Although several colored men were eligible, not enough could pass the examinations to be officers in the regiment. It was suggested that white officers be provided for the regiment, but this was not at all satisfactory to the colored people, and the movement was again halted. School Color Line in Florida Falls. Judge Gibbs of the circuit court of Florida recently declared unconstitutional the Florida law prohibiting white teachers from teaching Negro schools and Negro teachers from teaching in white schools. He instructed the authorites to release the bondsmen of several sisters in charge of convent schools, who had been held for violation of the law. Judge Gibbs ruled that the state had no power over private schools and could not legally prohibit one race from instructing another race. Work of Woman's Progressive League. Professor Ralph Radcliffe, principal of the Watt Street school, Pittsburgh, was the chief speaker at the last meeting for May of the Greater Pittsburgh Woman's Progressive league. Professor Radcliffe's subject was "The School and Community." The league is doing a good work and has grown to be a most helpful factor in the community. Wonderful Tribute to Dr. Washington. The students and teachers of the Tuskegee institute have contributed the sum of $4,760.00 toward the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. This large amount shows their loyalty to the race and their esteem for their late chieftain in a most wonderful expression of love and veneration. NOTABLE YEAR AT TRAINING SCHOOL Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass., Delivers Inspiring Commencement Address to Vast Throng—Many Contributors to Annual Prize Fund, Bust of Lincoln Unveiled. Washington.—The National Training School For Women and Girls on Lincoln heights in this city closed the best session in the history of the institution the early part of June. Mr. Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass., delivered the address to the graduates. A message from a man who has achieved so much in a few years was a source of great inspiration to the students and the host of friends who witnessed the closing exercises. Sixteen years ago Mr. Terry went to Brockton with 15 cents in his pocket. He worked at odd jobs until he secured work in a shoe factory for a dollar a day. He was soon raised to $30 a week, saved his money and purchased a home, then went into the real estate business. He is now paying taxes on over half a million dollars' worth of property and is easily the wealthiest colored man in the north. Mr. Terry lives on Belmont avenue, adjoining the residence of ex-Governor MISS N. H. BURROUGHS, A. M. Douglas, and is respected by men in all walks of life. He is intensely interested in Christian work and gives liberally for its advancement. He is a young man with a head full of common sense. His address was an eloquent appeal to the young women to give themselves to the task of building a race from the bottom by putting first things first and never allowing an opportunity to slip to better their condition. He urged them never to be satisfied unless they were making real progress. The baccalureate sermon Sunday was a masterful effort and was delivered by the Rev. J. M. Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church in this city. The day before the commencement was Field day, on which the bust of Abraham Lincoln was unveiled. The Rev. W. H. Moses, the eloquent divine and matchless orator, was the speaker on this occasion. He spoke on "Lessons From the Life of Abraham Lincoln." Every department in the institution was represented when class legacies were presented. Amidst speeches, songs and yells, the young women delighted the great audience that assembled to witness the dedicatory exercises and Field day program. Work was on exhibition that showed with what skill and efficiency the institution is carrying forward its practical program. Only those who were present can get even a faint idea of the inspiration that pervaded the very atmosphere when students from twenty-seven states and two foreign countries marched on the platform to take part in the closing exercises. The setting was too beautiful for pen to describe. Under the spreading oaks, surrounded by growing flowers and plants of every description, in the presence of a distinguished audience, the high note of the best commencement in the history of the institution was struck in the "Welcome Song." Each number that followed was the best. The presentation of prizes is always a source of inspiration and encouragement. Those who received them were: Normal, fourth, Miss Grace Coleman, Virginia; third, Miss Lillian Carter, Virginia; second, Miss Carrie Pettiker, North Carolina; first, Miss Louise Reid, Jamaica. Preparatory: First, Miss Marie Smith, Maryland; sec. ond, Miss Hilda Davis, Washington; primary, Miss Edith Davis, Washington; Champion speller, primary, Miss Edith Davis; first preparatory, Miss Hilda Davis; normal, Miss Marie De Ancy, New York. Trades: Missionary training, Miss Louise Reld, Jamaica; domestic science, Miss Alice Alexis; Hattt; dressmaking, Miss Robena Daniels; neatest, Miss Robena Daniels; Georgia; most exemplary, Miss Gertrude Banks, Virginia; music, Miss Susle Bailey, Arkansas; duties, Miss Sophronia Spikes, Texas; best kept room, Miss Gertrude Winsmore, Washington; Miss Susle Adams, New Jersey, and Miss Mabel Morris, Alabama. Each year a number of friends contribute to the annual prize fund. The 1916 prize contributors were as follows: Miss Ida Plummer, Washington, $2.50; W. A. Duiguid, Washington, $2.50; Florida Avenue Baptist church, per Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor, $2.50; National Training School board, per Mrs. M. E. Cabaniss, chairman, $3; Susan Hitchcock hall, per Mrs. J. A. Le C., $5; Miss Jenille L. Peck, $2.50; a friend, $2.50; Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, 122 books for library; Young People's society, Mount Zion Baptist church, Rev O. P. Thompson, pastor, $2.50; Mrs. Charlotte Marsshall, $2.50; Miss V. A. Johnson, $5; Pleasant Goode, $5; Rev A. C. Powell, $2.50; Mrs. Katherine Carey, $3; Mrs. Rebecca Kane, $2.50; Rev L. G. Jordan, $2.50; W. W. Oliver, $2.50. Perhaps one of the best evidences of love and loyalty on the part of the students and members of the faculty was shown in the report of contributions made during the year. They were as follows: Domestic science, $207.78; hairdressing, $7.45; emergency hall, per Miss Alexander, $10.65; missionary training class, per Miss Wanzer, $8.60; advanced class domestic science, per Misses Coleman and Davidson, 6.36; missionary training, $6.83; temperance society, per Mrs. B. B. Reed, $4.43; laundry department, per Miss F. Blackburn, $17.26; executive department, per Miss Lucille Peyton, Mrs. Emily Boyer, $50; Mrs. Boyer, adding machine, $45.59; music department, per Miss Boger, $10; Sunday school, $63.96; second preparatory, per Miss Sanders, $10. With the singing of the "Farewell Song," the National Training school of which the gifted Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, A. M., is president, closed the best year in its history. Miss Burroughs is going to devote the entire summer in trying to secure means to enlarge the plant. Applications are coming in every day, and the management is already assured that the attendance for the coming term is to be very large. Miss Burroughs awarded diplomas and certificates to the following named graduates: Diplomas—Normal, Mrs. Bettie B. Reed, Louisann; Miss Grace Coleman, Virginia; Commercial, Miss Mamietta R. Jacobs, Texas; dressmaking, Miss Robena Daniels, Georgia. Certificates—Missionary training, Miss M. Louise Reid, Jamaica; Miss Christine Jean Francois, Haiti; domestic science, Miss Grace Coleman, Virginia; Missella Davidson, Tennessee; Miss Alice Pierre Alexis, Haiti; dressmaking, Miss Ruth Barlow, Virginia, and Miss Esther Hinton, Maryland. PORTRAIT BY DARIUS COBB. Venerable Boston Artist Paints Remarkable Likeness of Dr. Scarborough. With the exception of the picture of Christ entitled "The Master," no painting from the brush of Darius Cobb, the noted Boston artist, has perhaps aroused greater interest than the portrait which Mr. Cobb recently completed for Professor William Saunders Scarborough, the widely known and popular president of Wilberforce university. The painting is an exact likeness of Dr. Scarborough and takes rank among the best works produced by the experience and skill of the venerable artist. That there will be numerous demands for the portrait of Dr. Scarborough has already been indicated from various sources. Besides his scholarly attainments and splendid executive ability as a college president, Dr. Scarborough is a genius at getting the best results from all departments of work at Wilberforce. The results shown at the fifty-third annual commencement exercises which closed the week ending June 17 bear out the above assertion to the letter. Wilberforce university is advancing along all lines. No wonder the state of Ohio and the great African Methodist Episcopal church are proud of its remarkable growth and achievements, and yet the heart of its president years for a greater Wilberforce. Masons Celebrate St John's Day. The Masonic fraternity of the Seventh Pennsylvania district, Pittsburgh, celebrated St John's day with appropriate religious services at Bethel A. M. E. church on Sunday, June 18. The march from Odd Fellows' hall to the church was very spectacular and witnessed by great throngs of people. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR 506 Boston Block, Minneapolis.

Dr. J. H. Redd has taken issue with the Twin City Star because of a confidentian reference to his association with a married woman. We serve notice on the ungrateful doctor. (We have always defended him against the legion of rumors against him) that The Star does not seek to break-up homes or separate families—does not hold the cloak of secrecy around any professional parasites, does not sanction "office gambling" or midnight revels, and will investigate rumors about any violation of confidence imposed in him or any other person, by hard working men who trust their wives in his or their keeping. It is the duty of the press to expose any scoundrel, who is guilty of alienating a wife's affection, and the courts are allowed to convict and punish such guilty ones. We have not always been fair when rumors were rife, and have felt it our duty to protect "our representative element", but flow and hereafter, we are changed from counsel for the defense to attorney for the prosecution, and will present conditions as they are; to be discussed and decided by the public for the public good. Dr. Redd, whether innocent of guilty, will not profit by his alliance with "the woman in the case" to intimidate the Star. A RARE CHANCE to buy a home Modern six room house for sale. Terms to suit.

Nashville, Tenn.—in church as well as in state young men of this city are pushing their way to the front and are making a mark well worth white. In this class of worthy young men is Professor S. P. Harris, secretary of the Sunday school publishing board of the national Baptist convention and the first layman to fill such a position. Professor Harris is a native of Mississippi. He received his common school education in the public schools of his native state. Then he entered Rust university, Holly Springs, Miss., from which he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts in 1889. He afterward entered the University of Michigan, from which he was graduated from the law department in June, 1891. He went to Arkansas, where he put out his shingle, practicing law for several years. During the year of 1897 he accepted the position of bookkeeper for the national Baptist publishing board with Dr. R. H. Boyd. He served in this position for nearly twenty years, rendering excellent service. He resigned this position and became dean of Roger Williams university in this city. He remained dean for a year and resigned to take charge as manager of the national Baptist publishing interests in 1915. It was a distinction to have the national Baptist convention select him from the many other able men in this country. It was due to his ability and experience. He had spent seventeen years in the Sunday school publishing business and was perhaps better prepared to do the work than any other layman in the Baptist denomination. In 1911 he was selected from among many candidates a member of the city PROFESSOR S. P. HABRIS. council. It was while he was an alderman that the city acquired a commission government. He took his place in the ranks with the praises of his people, who have declared that they stand ready to support him for any position he wants. With his excellent training Professor Harris answered the call of his church and is now isuing the Sunday school literature. He has a host of friends behind him and is doing his work well. Among the latest things inaugurated by him is the national Baptist Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. congress, Memphis, Tenn. The officers of the new board are Rev. William Haynes, chairman; Rev. E. M. Lawrence, recording secretary; Professor S. P. Harris, corresponding secretary; Rev. J. B. Green, field secretary; Rev. C. H. Parris, Louisville, Ky., editorial secretary. The attention of the board is now being directed to the work of the national Baptist convention, which meets next September in Savannah, Ga. WASHINGTON CLUB FORMED. Employees of a Philadelphia Concern Honor Late Race Leaders Philadelphia.—Two hundred and fifty colored employees of the Curtis Publishing company in this city organize the Booker T. Washington Social Club the second week in June, the objects of which are to promote sociability morality, industry and religion. The organization was formed under the direction of Miss Mary Morris of the welfare department of the company The meeting was held in the Curtis auditorium. Clinton Rogers Woodruff, secretary of the social service commission of the Episcopal church, made the principal address. He urged the members of the club to make full use of their talents. "One hundred years ago," he said, "people were continually howling about their rights. Today we talk of our duties. "We must make the most of our opportunities." Mr. Woodruff continued. "The Booker T. Washington Social club must stand for the uplift of all its members, the benefit of the Curtis company and, above all, for the benefit of this city." Those who have been instrumental in the forming of the club are G. H. Newlin, Washington Eldridge, Harry Branch, J. Walker, Mattie Allen, Rocheta Brooks, Esther Davis, Harriet Palmer and Sadie Ingram. The first meeting of the organization will be held in the early autumn, when officers will be elected and plans for the future will be discussed. How the Urban League Helps the Race.

Prints Forceful Denunciation of Film, Which Its Correspondent Says Should Be Suppressed Before the Poison Picturized Permeates Life of Nation. Jacksonville, Ill.—There appeared in a recent issue of the Jacksonville Daily Journal what is regarded here and elsewhere by those who read it as the most forceful denunciation of the photo play known as "The Birth of a Nation," as well as the most timely compliment to the work of the Negro as a citizen, that has yet been presented. The writer, J. M. Swales, is a white man. The article in part reads thus: Picturization of the events during the reconstruction period from 1868 to 1872 is one gigantic, colossal lie, gilded and sugar coated, which makes it easy for the present generation to swallow. It is a masterpiece of misrepresentation and a reflection on the Union soldier who gave the best that was in him and slipped off the four best years of his life. It is also a reflection on the character of the real sons of "southern chivalry" and the southern character in general. Those who lived through that period of the nation's history know that the Rev. Thomas Dixon, at one time an eminent "sky pilot," quit the pulpit and turned to the literary field because there was more in it for him than trying to bring sinners to the mourners' bench. Like many other of his lk he is out for the money. He pictures the Kuklux Klan as a band of heroes composed of the best blood of the south, when the truth is that the Klan was composed mostly of the riffraff and scum of the south, a lot of cowardly ruffians who did all their acts of "heroism" in the night, and the blacker the night the better to carry on their work of assassination with the dagger and bloody rope. In the four years of the red reign of the Kuklux scores and hundreds of innocent whites and blacks were done to death by this gang of murderous cuthroats because they dared to stand for the Union and the flag that has never yet been furled in the face of an enemy. The whole thing is the song of the siren of secession and disunion, waffed back to us from a thousand battle fields and should be suppressed before the poison picturized permeats the life of the nation—more especially the generations that have come upon the stage of action since the close of the reddest period of our national life—a war that filled a million graves and caused rivers of tears to flow for loved ones who laid down their lives, not for "the birth of a nation," but the salvation of a nation born at Concord and Bunker Hill and not in the brain of the Rev. Thomas Dixon. The story is a beautiful perversion of history and as a screen production has no parallel in the moving picture industry. Therein lies the seductive danger. This is well known by the "sky plot" who wrote the "Clansman" and Mr. Griffith, who put it on the screen. But they are in for what they can get out of a gullible public. The main features of the film aim to debase the Negro and stir up prejudice against the colored race and keep up a never ending strife between the whites and blacks of the entire country. In those faroff days there were many mean black men, and there were just as many mean white men. In fact, the white men were the meanest, because they had better opportunities than the bondsmen who had been under the dominion of slavery for centuries. "The Birth of a Nation" should be suppressed for the harm that it is doing not only in perverting history, but in inflaming the passions of those who would like to forget the horrors of that awful period of the sixties, especially the unparalleled atrocities carried out in Andersonville and other dens of horror in the south which seem to have escaped the notice of the Rev. Mr. Dixon, who enologizes the cutthroat rang of night riders and redhanded assassins whose deeds blacken the pages of the history of the civil war and are the means of keeping alive the strife engendered by and through the very instrumentality he is trying to defend. We seem to have reached the point where it would be quite the proper caper for the Union soldier to apologize for the things he did when called to eastern department, to designate an officer to represent the war department on the occasion." Major General Leonard Wood writes "I appreciate very much the good work which has been done by Major Young in Liberia. He was selected for this work because of his special qualifications, good judgment and ability. It is a great satisfaction to know he has so fully met the requirements of that difficult situation. His service in in the army has been highly creditable to his race from every standpoint, and I beg you to transmit to him my sincere congratulations on the good work which he has accomplished and the well earned recognition which he has received."

SIX GOOD REASONS Why You Should Join The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 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 laws. 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.

National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. 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.

Schall, representing the Tenth Minnesota district, has taken up the defense of the man who toils and has been given keen attention. Congressman Schall says: "Yesterday's mistake warns us against the blunder of tomorrow. Our mistake in the past has been an endeavor to transform our workers into high speed machines, without regard for the economic waste to the worker or to the race. Faster, faster, faster, pile up the garments; heap up the profits, no matter if rest and health and proper food be denied the weary laborer; no matter if girlish form $ _{8} $ be withered and the promise of our national motherhood is blighted; no matter if the cheeks pale and the chest becomes hollow. Cheap Labor Not Prosperity. "Cheap labor and long hours have not helped to bring prosperity. The laborer goes home at night too weary to think after a long day of toil, at underpaid wages, to a meanly furnished, dark, unsanitary home, a scant unnourishing supper and a humpy comfortless bed. He wakes early, dons his sweaty clothes and with them the hopeless, dispirited thoughts that envelop them. What chance for him to expand, to improve his mind, to enjoy God's fresh air and sunshine? "It is not the question altogether to the employer, how many shoes are made, but how many shoes are sold. Let us look to it that fewer of our countrymen have shoeless feet. With more leisure, more time for reflection, comes desire for improvement, for better living. Greatest Good Real Aim. "The government's aim should be the greatest good for the greatest number. Shorten the day of labor. Every movement toward the shorter day for the laboring man is a movement toward his enfranchisement. "Every man should have the right to work, the right to sleep and the right to play. The problem that confronts the United States today is to lighten the burden of the working classes. The ideal of our country can never be realized, we shall never capture the spirit of liberty, while half the people are starving and the other half faring sumptuously every day."

Cavalry were killed or captured. All honor to our heroic dead. May their deeds of valor be remembered and the American people realize that Negroes have always been first in peace and war, but last in the hearts of their white countrymen. The Negro is patriotic and should be, and the time is at hand when every Negro should REFUSE to enlist, until his race is given equal recognition in every branch of the Army and Navy, unless his country needs and appreciates his services. Let the lynchers and "nigger" haters get out on the firing line and serve as breastworks. The sooner they are annihilated, the better will be our condition. We can be ready and willing to defend OUR flag and country, but should be conservative and by all means not too hasty. It is a post of honor to be held in reserve, and Negroes can be depended upon to do their duty, when called upon; but at present it is apparent that "Negroes are not wanted" even in Minnesota. It was a fine opportunity for a united demand on the Republican National Committee, by the "big Negroes" attending the convention in Chicago, for an expression on their stand on the rights of Negro citizens, after they had refused to insert a plank in their platform to make "Lynching a Federal Crime." Many of them stole silently away—while others enjoyed the frivolous functions, unmindful of the urgent need of serious action, and lost one of their golden opportunities to place themselves and the Republican party on record. Cong. Geo. R. Smith lost his fight for re-nomination. We regret the loss of our Congressman, which was due to failure on the part of many to believe that his opponent, Mr. Ernest Lundeen, was a serious factor. Mr. Lundeen is all right and will make good. The winners in the Mayorality fight are Sheriff Otto S. Langum and Thomas Van Lear. Both are clean candidates and will pull a good vote. Mr. Langum has a fine record as Sheriff and will pull most of the Scandinavian vote, while Mr. Van Lear will get the Socialist and greater part of the labor vote. The race should be close and will be a clean campaign. We have no criticism of Mr. Van Lear, and will stand by our candidate Mr. Langum. Mayor Nye failed for re-nomination. The people decided that they would retire him. He has suffered for many things, for which he was indirectly responsible, and we could not over-look the "Birth of a Nation" affair. This caused him to loose nearly all of the Negro vote. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ADVERTISE HERE — IT PAYS. RELIGIOUS WORKERS MEET.

Georgia has passed a new prohibition law, and efforts are being made to have the provisions of the measure enforced. Business and professional men, ministers and leaders along all lines of industry are asked to aid in wiping out the liquor traffic in the state. The "blind tiger" method of securing strong drink and distributing it to households is being closely watched. One of the able leaders among our people who are urging members of the race who may be addicted to strong drink to leave it alone and save their money and put it to better use is the Rev. H. H. Proctor, a Congregational minister. It is said that strong drink is the cause of nine-tenths of the crimes committed in the state and that mobs of lynchers are surcharged and inspired by strong drink when about their evil work of lynching human beings. Whether the accused is guilty or innocent is not taken into consideration. The lynching habit is one of the black spots in the records of the state. The disregard for law and the well being of the citizens of the state by lynching mobs should be promptly suppressed by the officials of the state and in the various counties of the state. Lynchers should be punished, and until they are this form of outlawry will continue. UTICA INSTITUTE CLOSES. Bishop Bratton Delivers Address at Mississippi School. Utica, Miss.-The Right Rev. Theodore Dubose Bratton, bishop of Mississippi, a leader of educational and religious thought in the south, made a significant address to a large audience of white and colored people at the recent commencement exercises of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute For the Training of Colored Youth, located in this town of thrift and industry. It is significant that the voice and pen of Bishop Bratton, representing the white race, and that of William H. Holtzclaw, principal of the Utica institute, representing the colored race, were raised and employed by them to defeat the Stevens bill, introduced in the present session of the Mississippi legislature, which sought to prohibit white people from teaching in schools for colored people. "No people will come to a knowledge of themselves until they express themselves in something they have made," said Bishop Bratton. "Until you begin to interpret yourselves by what you accomplish you will never know yourselves. Until you measure your ability by your power to create, to accomplish, you can never know what your abilities are. "I have often said to my friends of the colored race, and also to my white friends, that we must realize that neither the Negro race knows itself nor does the white race know the Negro. There has been no opportunity for that until the last two generations I would almost limit it to one generation. I haven't much respect for a man who demands recognition until he has done something by which to be recognized." Other short talks were made by Emnett J. Scott, secretary, and Major J. B. Ramsey, commandant of Tuskegee institute, and by F. H. Coleman, superintendent of public instruction of Hinds county. Practical demonstrations of practical subjects on the part of the members of the graduating class featured their activities. THE TWIN CITY STAR HOW HAMPTON INSTITUTE TEACHES ART OF PRINTING Students Trained In This Department Become Efficient Race Leaders. When a boy enters upon the printing course at the Hampton (Va.) institute he receives instruction in the composing room in the names and uses of the common tools and materials which will form for four years a part of his daily life. He learns the position in the case of the boxes—elusive small compartments—containing those mysterious metal characters which may give him more than one headache, backache and even heartache before he has mastered his so called P's and Q's. After the boy has learned his case he is put on straight composition—newspaper, book and magazine work—and masters some of the problems of spacing and justifying type, capitalizing and punctuating, paragraphing and proof taking. This work requires usually one year and is followed by jobwork. The boy now learns how to handle types so as to arrange with taste and according to specific direction simple forms, such as return addresses for envelopes, business and visiting cards, letter and bill heads. This work is followed for six months by more difficult composition—blanks requiring panels, tables, figure and rule work, box headings for blank books, title pages, pamphlet covers and such work as is commonly done in commercial printing shops. Then there comes for three months some interesting stone work—making up and correcting pages, as well as locking up job forms. The Hampton printers receive, in short, two years of profitable and interesting experience in composing room work. The Hampton trained printers who have devoted one-third of their entire time—sixty-three hours each week—to academic studies have learned in four years not only how to make a decent living for themselves and their families, but also how to serve their communities as safe race leaders.

A banquet followed the burning of the mortgage the first week in June. READY TO DEFEND NATION'S HONOR Oswald Garrison Villard's Plea For Colored Soldiers. PRAISED BY GENERAL BURT. House Military Affairs Committee Requested to Provide For Two Artillery Regiments in Present Plans for Enlarging Regular Army—Record of Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Cited. Washington.—The following letter recently sent to the chairman of the house and senate committees on military affairs and others voices the demand of 10,000,000 native born, English speaking American citizens for the right to serve their country at this crisis of its existence. These citizens rak for the right to enlist in our army, while the Tenth cavalry is bearing the brunt in Mexico. The letter says: At the suggestion of Mr. Oswald Garrison Vilard, treasurer of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, this appeal is presented asking for your support of the request that two regiments of artillery and two of infantry of those about to be created be designated as open for the enlistment of colored soldiers. The adjutant general has stated that he doubted if 175,000 regulars could be recruited in the United States. There is no difficulty in recruiting colored regiments. Yet while officers are tearing their hair to get white recruits the sign is up, "No colored man wanted." Does it not seem a ridiculous program of preparedness which deliberately excludes the best material we've got? That is no idle boast. When the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts stormed Fort Wagner in 1863 it established for all time the fact that the colored soldier could fight and fight well. The history of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry in the Indian fights between 1863 and 1890 piled up the evidence of their courage and loyalty. There have been notably fewer desertions from the colored regiments than from the white. The Ninth cavalry once astonished the army by reporting not a single desertion in twelve months, an unheard of and undreamed of record. Their service during the Spanish war and since has shown our colored troops to be infinitely better fitted for service in our tropical dependencies than white troops. Company L of the Forty-ninth volunteers, composed wholly of colored men and commanded by Captain E. L. Baker, a colored veteran, who had served for seventeen years in the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, made a record which no white company remotely approached. This company had on its rolls during a period of twelve months 106 men who were fit for duty at all times and never lost a day on account of sickness. More extraordinary still is the fact that during the same period not one of these men ever went before a court martial, surely a striking illustration of what can be done by colored officers. Such traits enabled General A. S. Burt in relinquishing command of the Twenty-fifth infantry on April 17, 1902, to quote the inspector general of the army as saying, "The Twenty-fifth infantry is the best regiment I have seen in the Philippines." It was noticeable, too, that neither the officers nor the men of any colored regiment figured in the charges and countercharges which arose out of the use of the "water cure" in the islands. Since 1870 there have been four colored regiments in our regular establishment, two of cavalry and two of infantry, but there has never been a colored artillery organization in the regular service. When ten regiments and several units of artillery were added in 1001 the colored citizens of America were deeply offended that Secretary Root failed to recommend the establishment of any colored regiment. Now that the question of recruiting the national guard is before congress again the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People urges that the right of these 10,000,000 citizens to participate to the full in every phase of our national life be recognized by designating two of the artillery regiments and two of infantry of those about to be created by congress as open to enlistment to colored Americans. If hyphenated citizenship is a weakness of the body politic, why insist that 10,000,000 men and women must remain Afro-Americans unto the fourth and fifth generation? Funds Needed For the Slater School. The trustees of the Slater Industrial and State Normal school at Winston Salem, N. C., are making strenuous efforts to raise $12,000, necessary to meet the offer of the state for a similar amount. Professor W. A. Blair, secretary of the school, has recently written to several prominent men in New York who have formerly aided the school financially asking that they asst the institution in raising the $12,000 needed. The trustees ask all friends of education to contribute something toward the amount named. The school is one of the best among our people in that section of the state and is worthy of support.

This is made possible by an important amendment to the Postal Savings Act just approved by President Wilson. A postal savings depositor may now have an account amounting to $1,000 upon which interest will be paid. Formerly $500 was the maximum amount he could have to his credit. This enlargement of postal savings facilities will be very gratifying to thousands of depositors who have already reached the old $500 limit and are anxious to entrust more of their savings to Uncle Sam. Another feature of the amendment that will avoid further embarrassment to the public and to postal officials is the doing away with the limit on the amount A. E. ```markdown ``` PETER B.

The amendment abolishes this restriction. While the Postal Savings System has already proved a signal success as is shown by the fact that more than half-a million depositors have over eighty million dollars standing to their credit, still it has fallen far short of meeting the full demands of the public because of the restrictions which have now been eliminated. Postmaster General Burleson and Third Assist-a modification of the limitations and Postmaster General Dockery have been tireless in their efforts to secure the new liberalizing legislation is particularly gratifying to them.
