French at New York Bar FIGURED IN MANY CONTESTS e Judge Dismisses Case of the People Against Septimus Rutherford Upon Convincing Argument and Weighty Evidence Produced by Attorney For the Defense. By JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." New York.—In the case of the people against Septimus Rutherford, a well known and popular member of the Salem Methodist Episcopal church in this city, recently tried, the legal talent of the colored race triumphed gloriously. Mr. Rutherford was charged with an offense which required a trial by jury. CLIFTON T. A. FRENCH, ESQ. His counselor was Clifton T. A. French, a young attorney of our race whose ability as a practitioner is attracting the attention of the legal profession here in a way that is causing old timers in the profession to look well to their laurels. Upon the completion of the testimony of the complaining witness at the trial in question a novel point of law was being argued by the counsel for the people and the defense when the latter created much consternation in the court by the production of evidence of great weight and at the same time made a motion to dismiss the complaint. The court immediately granted the motion with full vindication, and the presiding judge paid Attorney French a fine personal compliment. It is a high tribute to the legal ability of this young sprig of the law to be called to the bench by presiding Judge Rosalsky (who is austerity personified) and complimented and praised in fulsome phrase on his sound knowledge of legal procedure in a case of such vital importance to the defendant and his counsel. His course clearly indicated that he had read the law to some purpose and that he saw in this particular case an opportunity to put it to the test. As soon as he made the motion to dismiss and produced certain evidence to justify his action in defense of his client the learned judge at once saw that he could do no other than to dismiss the complaint. Counselor French had scored. The judge realized it and the prosecuting attorney reluctantly admitted that he was defeated—outpointed, licked "to a frazzle" by a Negro attorney who understood what he wanted and got it. The judge and counsel at the bar owned the force of the Negro's ability and then extended their congratulations to the young disciple of Blackstone who had won a legal victory of which many an old veteran practitioner at the bar would have been proud to have to his credit. But this is not the only legal skirmish in which Mr. French has engaged. Another case in which he secured an acquittal for his client was that of The People versus William Anderson, which was bitterly contested at every point by this brilliant young man, and ended in the freeing of his client. Mr. French's practice covers both the civil and criminal courts, and thus far he has been successful in all the cases in which his firm has appeared. Mr. French received the degree of B. A. from New York university and from Columbia the degrees of M. A., LL. B. and LL. M. In addition, he has completed all the resident work for the degree of Ph. D. and has only to write SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION his thesis to obtain his diploma. Thus the professional men of the race everywhere are demonstrating their ability in the most convincing and gratifying manner to acquit themselves creditably in the learned professions. The French brothers are westerners, and both of them are "live wires." Their future in the legal profession is big with promise, and they will be heard from in some very big cases some day, for they keep abreast of all the latest decisions of the courts, because this is the business of all wide awake and progressive members of the New York bar. They are not "social bugs," but lawyers who are in New York for the practice of this honorable profession. Baptists to Meet at Kansas City, Mo. The National Baptist convention, of which the Rev. Dr. E. P. Jones of Vicksburg, Miss., is president, will hold its annual meeting at Kansas City, Mo., for six days, beginning Wednesday, Sept. 6. The executive committee meets in Vicksburg, Miss., June 14, to arrange the program for the Kansas City meeting. WISE LAUDS WASHINGTON. Taught Our Democracy Much Needed Lesson. Sava Noted Rabbi. Of the many high tributes paid to the memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington by men of both races and of all walks of life the following, by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York, is a masterpiece. He says: "Washington was a great educator in that he never forgot that he was dealing with human material—that he was commissioned of God, not so much to fill men's minds with knowledge as to help them to fulfill their lives. He gave to his people something more precious than gold—the knowledge that the art of service and the part of leadership are complementary terms. "Washington dared to proclaim to his newly freed people that freedom was not a thing of flat or proclamation, but must be wrought out of their own souls. Statesman was he, who sounded the note of service to a race which, after centuries of oppression, inevitably longed to hear its rights urged and stressed. He realized that hand in hand with every advance made by his race must go a corresponding gain in the good will of the white race. "This great American taught our democracy a lesson which it needs to learn, lest it cease to be. He taught us that the greatest thing in life is self forgetful service. Drunk as we are with things, intoxicated as we are with the passion of self satisfaction and self aggrandizement, let us not forget the lesson taught by the life of this man in his quiet strength and fine dignity—how great a thing is the selfless service of a cause. "Let the Negro remember that the color line vanishes in the presence of real greatness. Let the Negro ever bear in mind that, while an entire race cannot seek protection under the shadow of one great name or ten great names, a race, like a man, must stand upon its own feet and not upon the shoulders of a single man." WOMEN'S CLUBS TAKE STAND AGAINST RACE PREJUDICE Detroit Federation Resents Injustice to Colored Women's Study Club. The department of publicity of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, Detroit, Mich., of which Mrs. W. T. Francis is chairman, has issued the following resolutions, which are self explanatory: Whereas, The Detroit Federation of Women's Clubs, an organization composed of white women's clubs of the city of Detroit, Mich., has decided by a vote of its members that it will refuse membership in the national federation (white) unless the Detroit Study club, composed of colored women of the city of Detroit, is permitted to affiliate: Therefore, Be it resolved that the Every Woman Suffrage club of St. Paul, Minn. (Mrs. W. T. Francis president), does hereby heartily commend the action of this magnanimous body of women, engaged as they are in an effort to uplift all women without respect, face, or chance to wish them amended success in this praiseworthy effort to break down the discrimination on account of color. And be it further resolved, That the president of each and every state federation comprising the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs (Mrs. Booker T. Washington president) shall send a resolution similar to this to the Detroit Federation of Women's Clubs and a copy of the same to the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, a copy of this resolution be sent to the National Notes, the organ of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, a copy to the Detroit Federation of Women's Clubs, a copy to the Detroit Study club and a copy to the prominent race newspapers, with request that the colored press give duplicity to the generous attitude of the Detroit Federation of Women's Club in high regard they have taken with reference to this colored club.

SUCCESS OF ABLE TEXAS EDUCATOR TRAINED FOR LEADERSHIP. Principal of Prairie View Normal and Industrial College Won His Spurs at Fort Worth—Famous Turkey Dinner Figures in School Board's Consent For New Building. Prairie View, Tex.—The race has given to the world many strong, well educated men since emancipation, and some of them are unheard of because they go right along doing their work well and are not heralded with a brass band sounding their praises. In this class is to be found one of the most noted educators of the country, Professor I. M. Terrell, head of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial college located at this place. For nearly forty years Professor Terrell has been engaged in helping to shape the minds of the young people of Texas, his native state, and for thirty-three years was principal of the high school at Fort Worth, being called from that place about one year ago. PROFESSOR AND MRS. L. M. TERRELL. He has made his mark in his native state, for over fifty years ago he was born in Anderson, Grimes county, Tex., spending his time in the public school. Later he went to Straight and remained there until he had completed his course. Graduating from there, he was immediately called to Fort Worth to take charge of the high school. Fort Worth at the time had only a high school in name, not even a building fit to be termed a school building. Already Professor Terrell had learned the lesson that in order to get the assistance of the white people our race must do what it can itself; hence he started out to raise the standard of the school and at the same time make friends among the white people. Professor Terrell was fortunate in selecting a common sense, educated wife for a companion. Mrs. M. L. Terrell has her place in the schoolroom, being supervisor of music and drawing. With the beautiful music rendered from time to time she sang her way into the hearts of the people. Mrs. Terrell established a department of domestic science and arts. It became popular, and it goes without saying that the girls readily took to it. The next step was how to reach the school board. A turkey was secured, and the girls cooked it as it should be. So in all his gravity and stuffed to the taste of a king it was spread before the school board, and the girls served it in the latest style, directed by Mrs. Terrell, and when the board was through eating they looked around and said, "These people need a building." It was at that moment that they decided to put up a real first class high school, until today perhaps the finest school building in the south for children of the race is to be found in Fort Worth. An auditorium large enough to seat 1,200 people was made in the new building, and it was equipped with all that goes to make up a high school. It was due to the tact of Professor and Mrs. Terrell. When the position of principal of the Prairie View Normal and International college was vacant there were many who applied for the place, but the board selected Professor I. M. Terrell. This was much to the regret of the people of Fort Worth. The school board adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, Professor I. M. Terrell has four twenty-four stars been principal of the college school of this city and has labored faithfully, wisely and well to promote the education of his race, and has been an untriting and safe leader in working for the social, moral and relational well-being of students. Whereas, He has been called to the presidency of Prairie View Normal college, the most important educational work he can come to him in Texas; therefore Resolved, by the board of trustees of the Fort Worth public schools, That we regret to lose Professor Terrell from our schools: That our best wishes go with him to his broader field of usefulness: his brother had asked him to earn the thanks of both races for his faithful performance of duty as an educator, his wise and safe counsel and the good influence he has wielded for the improvement of his people. There are over 500 students attending the 1916 session of the Prairie View summer school. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS WIELDS GOOD INFLUENCE Session Recently Held at Vicksburg, Miss., Was a Big Success. Vicksburg. Miss.—The recent eleventh annual meeting of the Sunday school congress held in this city for five days was a distinct benefit to the public generally and to the religious institutions and Christian workers in particular. Secretary Henry Allen Boyd's report showed that twenty-one states were represented and that a decided increase in numbers and finance was noticeable throughout the jurisdiction of the congress. Throughout the week, from the time the delegates arrived and the eleventh annual session was opened up to the close, there was Sunday school work for every department from the cradle roll and home departments through the intermediate, primary, advanced, junior and organized classes. The papers presented during the general session, which attracted widespread attention, were requested to be reproduced in the various journals issued by the publishing board. Each afternoon the fourteen various departments under their special selected conductors and assistants held forth in the various churches of all denominations. Unusual interest was manifested by the workers, who were intent upon getting every scrap of information that would be helpful to them in their work. The most largely attended departmental meetings were the Bible study conference, under Drs. John E. Ford of Jacksonville, Fla., and William Hicks of Meridian, Miss.; the B. Y. P. U., under the direction of Rev. S. R. Prince, D. D., corresponding secretary of the B. Y. P. U. board of Fort Worth, Tex.; the superintendents, under the direction of H. W. Russell of Atlanta, Ga., and S. H. Johnson of Nashville, Tenn., with the advanced teachers, conducted by Mrs. M. A. B. Fuller of Austin, Tex.; E. L. Cunningham of Lexington, Ky., and Leroy R. Russell of Fort Worth, Tex. While it was true that these led in attendance and had the largest enrollment each afternoon, the other departments shared a like interest both from their departmental conductors and gave evidence to the Sunday school workers of their devotion and consecration to the service. The home department, though new, under the direction of Miss Morgan, received perhaps what the workers concluded the most substantial attention that has been noticeable in eleven years. The missionary conference, under Drs. Hubbard of Ocean Springs and Lancaster of Jacksonville Fla.; the Metokas and Galedas, under the direction of Dr. R. M. Reddick of Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. L. B. Fouse of Lexington, Ky., and Miss L. U. Chambers of Pleckens, Miss., with the National A. F. cadets, under General W. H. Crawford and Lieutenant General Harry H. Lott, all showed real merit. COLES COMPLETES COURSE AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Plucky Petersburg (Va.) Boy Ready to Lead In Race Work. A boy who is willing to sell papers and whose mother works and saves and denies herself in order that he may have an education deserves to succeed. This was the story told by George E. Coles of Petersburg, Va., at Hampton institute recently. As a little boy Coles thought life was a bed of roses. For seventeen terms his mother struggled to keep him in school. He assisted all he could, selling papers, working during the season at Atlantic City, finally finishing high school and then entering Hampton institute. In 1915 Coles secured his trade certificate as a machinist, and in 1916 he graduated from the academic department, ready to serve and lead his people. In concluding his anniversary address Coles said: "The people of my race are living in thorny rose beds. I may be able, while helping my mother, to clean out the thorns of prejudice, poverty and ignorance and leave them a rose bed of education, race pride and happiness." BAPTISTS HONOR DR. J. H. EASON Career of a Former Selma University Professor Who Has Won Distinction In Many Lines of Constructive Work. Church Erected at Anniston, Ala., a Monument to His Genius. Birmingham, Ala. — After preaching a very able baccalaureate sermon at the recent annual commencement exercises of Benedict college, Columbia, S.C., the degree of doctor of divinity was conferred on the Rev. J. H. Eason, pastor of the Jackson Street Baptist church of this city and for more than REV. J. H. EASON, D.D. nine years president of the Alabama Baptist state convention, which has more than 300,000 members. Dr. Eason was the recipient of many congratulations from the faculty and trustees of the school, which is run under the auspices of the Baptist home missionary board of New York. Dr. Eason's subject was, "The Dignity and Glory of Man." Born in the black belt of Alabama of good and influential parentage, Dr. Eason was given a liberal education in the public school of his home. He finished his literary training at Selma university. He later graduated from the theological course of Union university, Richmond, Va., with honors. In 1900 honorary degrees were conferred on him by Guadalupe college. Those who know Dr. Eason understand that he is very much averse to degrees, and it was with much reluctance that he consented to receive them. Some time ago it was proposed that the degree of LL.D. be conferred on him by Selma university, of which institution he is a trustee. But he was too modest to accept it. He is not opposed to degrees, but it seems hard for him to feel satisfied that he is worthy of such honors. It is only the men of real merit that he is willing to vote to have a degree. Being a trustee of Selma university, he has given this phase of honoring men careful study. Dr. Eason has done much literary work for which he has never asked nor accepted any certificate of credit. He says he would rather know more than he has credit of knowing than to have credit for more than he knows. What Dr. Eason knows he knows thoroughly and sees it clearly and can use it to better advantage than most men. He is a great theologian, yet he claims that he does not study theology much, but that he studies God. For many years Dr. Eason was professor of mathematics and metaphysics in the Selma university, beginning very soon after leaving college and during which time he pastored and built many churches in the vicinity of his school work. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment lies in the building of the beautiful Seventeenth Street Baptist church of Anniston, Ala., at a cost of more than $25,000 and to which he added one of the finest parsonages in the country. Dr. Eason has traveled extensively throughout this country and Europe. He was a delegate to the world's missionary conference in Edinburgh in 1010. While abroad he filled the pulps of many of the churches of Scotland and England. He traveled in Germany, Belgium and France, being interpreter for his party while in France. Along literary lines he has a number of books and pamphlets to his credit. He wrote the first book that the National Baptist Publication board published, entitled "Sanctification Versus Fanaticism," and for several years was on the editorial staff of the Sunday school literature of the national Bap- tist convention with Rev. E. C. Morris. He was editor for the Baptist Leader, the organ for the colored Baptist state convention for Alabama for ten years, during which time his editorials were of nation wide interest. Many of Dr. Eason's friends recently urged him to run for the presidency of Selma university, but he declined in favor of a friend. As a platform orator Dr. Eason is in constant demand, and perhaps there is no other man in Alabama who fills as many speaking engagements as does he since the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He is now doing sociological research work and has prepared several manuscripts for a new book. MEETING OF CLUBWOMEN. National Body to Hold Biennial Session at Baltimore In August.

Tuskegee, Ala.—When informed by an Associated Press representative of the recent killing of twelve Negro soldiers, Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee institute, called attention to the fact that eighteen years ago, when war was declared with Spain, the late Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee institute, called upon the Negro people of the United States, and particularly upon Tuskegee graduates and former students, to volunteer for service in defense of their country. Hundreds of Negroes followed this advice. Secretary Scott states that there are a dozen or more Tuskegee graduates and former students in Mexico as members of the various colored regiments. "Negroes," he states, "will rally to the defense of their country now as they have always done." As the first American soldier to lose his life in Mexico, March 24 of this year, was a Negro, so the first man killed in the Revolutionary war was a Negro. The Negro people take pride in the fact that it was the charge of Negro troops at San Juan hill in the Spanish-American war that turned the tide there and that Negroes have fought bravely in every war in which this country has engaged. The Negro was with Jackson at New Orleans, with Perry on Lake Erie, and 180,000 Negro soldiers served in the civil war. "The Negroes of this country," he states, "will be no less patriotic in the Mexican campaign of 1916 than in former periods of stress and storm. The Negro possesses a patriotism that rises above injustices and wrongs. He is an American through and through. The president will find no hyphenates among us. The Negro has never faltered in defense of his country. He will not falter now. If President Wilson desires to employ sturdy Negroes to defend the flag he can be assured that a hundred thousand and more are at his disposal."

"As an officer of United States colored troops in the civil war and having made the subject a study ever since, trying over and over again to have such a regiment admitted to the national guard. I side with Governor Whitman, for I yet have to know of their having shown the white feather, from the Revolution to the present time. "They were and are true Americans. If admitted to the national guard the noted Seventh will have worthy competitors in drill and discipline, and the city will be proud of its colored troops."

CHANGE IN POSTAL SAVINGS. CHANGE IN POSTAL SAVINGS. Larger postal deposits will now be accepted at the post office. 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 --- AND ENJOY IN CITIES A Picture Map Folder entitled Cities 1916 Information About Minneapolis Central Published.

Many of the Negro members of her crew are overboard struggling in the dashing billows. We need a "Lincoln" on the bridge and a "Grant" in the pilot house. They would rescue the ship wrecked and bring her safely in harbor to undergo thorough repairs. And when she set sail for her next four years voyage, having the Constitution in her cargo, Justice as her ballast; and with a loyal and unprejudiced crew; she will clear for her return voyage, under sunny skies and on calm seas. Then Americans, regardless of race, creed or color, could, well say—"Our hope of future years, are all with thee." TO HONOR COLORED SOL- DIERS The Heroes of Carrizal. (Special to the Star.) Boston, Mass.—The National Equal Rights League suggests and and urgently advises that everywhere Colored Americans hold Memorial meetings in honor of the Colored cavalrymen who were sacrificed in Mexico and died bravely fighting for the flag which does not protect them at home. It is most fitting to eulogize these black heroes right now, and appeal for equal rights for their race at home, while Irish-Americans are eulogizing the Irish rebels of Ireland. A Citizens Committee could be formed at once in every city. Boston's meeting will be in old Fanelm Hall on July 6. Pres. Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N.

WICKLIFFE - GINGER ORCHESTRA BOOKED BY LORO GOOCH, 501 AUDITORIUM BUILDING, CHICAGO, ILL. VALOR OF TENTH CAVALRY WINS GENUINE APPLAUSE Famous Regiment First to Face Enemy In Trouble With Mexico. The New York Globe, commenting on the valor of the Tenth United States cavalry, says in its issue of June 23. It was a detachment of the Tenth cavalry, brigaded with Roosevelt's rough riders, that had the honor of suffering at Las Guasimas the first casualties in the war for the liberation of Cuba. It is the same Tenth that has the honor of suffering the first casualties in a war which, if it occurs, will result, let us hope, in the liberation of Mexico from an anarchy comparable to that which afflicted Cuba. The Tenth cavalry is recruited from Americans of African descent. Its stalwart troopers have an excess of pigment in their skin. They are men of color. But though their complexions are dark there is no lack of Americanism in their hearts. Members of a race that has had and still has good grounds for complaining of the justice of their fellow citizens of paler faces, no hyphenism taints them. The flag is their flag—the flag of Lincoln, not of Vardaman, and they are the first to defend it. The Tenth is not only a credit to the race of which its members are composed, but to the country whose uniform they wear. The famous regiment's valor and manliness furnish a sufficient answer to the narrow minded race haters who judge men not by what they are, but how they look. Council of Churches Works For Peace The commission on peace arbitration of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America sent the following telegram to President Wilson on June 24: President Woodrow Wilson, Washington: The commission on peace and arbitration of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America support for all measures looking toward adjustment of relations with Mexico without military intervention by reference to arbitration through South American republics or by such other means as may be found available. The commission urges every possible measure in an endeavor to assist people in securing their highest welfare. CHARLES S. MACFARLAND. General Secretary Press Welcome Progressive Citizen.

New Orleans Minister Delivers Scholarly Sermon on Color. New Orleans.-In the course of an able and scholarly sermon by the Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor of the First Congregational church in this city, on "New Viewpoints of Joy For a Race" Dr. Proctor in part said: "Our color is a royal one. God carved the universe out of black. Three-fourths of mankind are colored. Their future cannot be overestimated. The black is the only man that can do a full day's work in any quarter of the globe he finds himself in. "Monuments in north Africa show that the black man had a part in the world's first civilization. The capacity of the race for suffering is great and is one of the essentials to the success of any race or of individuals. It was a man from the darker races that bore the cross of Christ up Calvary. "No race has the opportunity we have of cultivating the passive virtues. Unhampered by traditional pride, we may serve all mankind. With the example of all other races before us we may become a new creation and give the world a new type of man." The Davis Home Appeals For Funds. The board of managers of the Davis Home and Day Nursery in Pittsburgh is making a strong plea for financial assistance in order to replace the loss by fire which the home sustained recently. Mrs. T. H. C. Messer, president of the board, is doing a grand work for these homeless children. The cause is a worthy one, and it is hoped that our people will respond liberally to the board's appeal and that sufficient money may be raised to put the Davis home in good shape before the fall season comes.

Well Known Southern White Man Lauda Work of Late Educator. Lauds Work of Late Educator. Referring to the struggles and successes of the Negro race in the United States in a recent address, Frank D. Rash of Kentucky said: "No longer does the gallant, bewhiskered southern colonel surround himself with cupbearers and lunge on the broad vanda of his colonial mansion, all the while sipping the seductive mint julep from the frosted cup of silver, and, though the Kentucky colonel still lives, you will now see him donning cap and overalls and leading the forces of industry in bringing Kentucky's marvelous mineral wealth to the use of mankind or yet perhaps as the executive directing his staff in any one of the many manufacturing enterprises springing up within the borders of the commonwealth. "Much has been written and said concerning a so called Negro problem—a great part of this at long distance—and it may be that the first hand experiences and observation of a southerner may be of interest. As respects the completeness of information of many writers on this subject, the average southerner cannot avoid regarding some statements as did the two old Irish ladies. The archbishop had preached a fine sermon on married life and its beauties. The two old ladies, both with figures and families of ample proportions, were heard coming out of church commenting on the address. "'Tis a fine sermon his riverence would be after givin' us,' said one to the other. 'It is, indade,' was the reply, 'and I wish I knew as little about the matthew as he does.' "In expressing the belief that Negro labor is one of the greatest assets of southern industry it is devoutly to be hoped that such expression will not be considered in the light of an attempt to point out any commercial advantage of one section of the country, but rather a desire to present the idea of the thoughtful southerner of to labor, and to pay just tribute to the worth southern Negro. "That remarkable man. Booker T. Washington, pointed out to the people of his race that their only hope lay in work, hard work and efficient work, in the fields, the forests, the factories and the mines, in the industrial school and in the college and in the professions, and to that end never ceased his call to service. You will recall his wonderful address at the opening of the Cotton States exposition in Atlanta in 1895, which did more than any public utterance of any man to temper suspicion and race hatred and to bring about a better understanding in the south. "While the utopian state in this understanding has not been reached and may never be, yet nevertheless we are day by day and year by year approaching Booker T. Washington's dream for the south. "Having had opportunity to observe the application of the industrial principles Booker T. Washington laid down for the southern Negro, or, as to that, for all peoples, it is gratifying to bear testimony to the correctness of those ideas, if such testimony were needed, in which the best thought of the south will join." NEW POST FOR MRS. WINSTON Well Known Trained Nurse to Superintend Sojourner Truth House. At the recent meeting of the board of directors of the Sojourner Truth House, in New York, Mrs. Cora L. Winston was elected superintendent of the house to succeed Miss Eva G. Burleigh, who resigned her position on account of illness. Mrs. Winston is a graduate of the Nurses' Training school at Lincoln hospital, camp of 1911, and has had considerable experience in dealing with groups of people. For several years she did private nursing and was at one time on the nursing staff of the department of health in New York. During the hard winter of 1914-15 Mrs. Winston was in charge of the industrial features in the mayor's unemployment workshop, conducted by the National Urban league. For the past year she has been in charge of the Lincoln Hospital Home For Nurses in One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street. Mrs. Winston began her duties on June 19.

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 messages 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.

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_s 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." $5,000 in Cash and Premium Awards to Women, Men, Girls, Boys, Societies and Churches for distributing the Printed Key, and the ANTI-RACE Hatred—By Law Bill—the absolute secret to solve the Race Problems.

The gallant charge of the Black Troopers of the 10th Cavalry at Carrizal and their work along the border during past year, has proven this play a Scandal on the American soldier, black and white. Most theatrical managers display the Stars and Stripes in an appeal for dimes from patriotic Americans, and their own patriotism often ends, where their dollars begin. Some would libel the Holy Virgin for box office receipts, and discredit the lowly Nazarene for the usual price of admission, therefore, the Birth of a Nation will show despite the fact that the Supreme Court has decided that "it is a vicious play." ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOLLOW. The Twin City Star, which has been considered as the leading Negro newspaper of the Progressive Party, and an enthusiastic supporter of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his policies, continues to follow his lead. We heartily accept the advice of America's greatest citizen, and will support the regular presidential nominee of the Republican National Convention, Hon. Chas. E. Hughes, and do what we can for the success of the Republican ticket. We are not in accord with the entire platform of the party. The suffrage question, as a State's Rights measure, will not give the Negro women of the South a right to vote. We are against any program giving a State a right to over-ride the Constitution. We had hoped to see some plank in its platform recommending legislation to make "Lynching a Federal Crime." We cannot get our constitutional rights under State Soverignity, and must rely on Federal legislation and enforcement for our protection. The Republican party has done more for us than any other party and we must overcome its evils with its good; still contending for right and protesting against wrong—believing in Divine Providence and thankful that Col. Roosevelt has accomplished his ultimate purpose, which was also his prophecy—that he would drive out of the Republican party, those who corrupted the principles of the party. We regret the loss of a friend, of our race on the Supreme Bench, by the resignation of Justice Hughes—which gave Pres. Wilson an opportunity to appoint a Democrat—and fate may decree that by his appointment we may have a Justice White or Justice Harlan. Though Democrats they were honest interpreters of the law and spirit of the Constitution. It is up to the Negro to be loyal to himself and the door of hope will soon open to him. We have awaited orders and willingly obey the requests of Col. Roosevelt, who led us into the Progressive Party in 1912, and we return to the Republican ranks under the same leadership and convictions. Let the slogan be "Hughes and Fairbanks must win" and now that the Progressives have accomplished their purpose, we expect a large following, and a return to the Grand Old Party, for its success in November next.

Schall, who is running for re-election in the 10th district as a progressive, will campaign for Hughes. He announced this in filing his statement of expenses with the secretary of state for the primary campaign. He said that he already had agreed to make campaign speeches in Maine, Missouri and Kentucky. LAST MAN STAGGERS IN FROM CARRIZAL, WOUNDED BUT HAPPY. El Paso, Texas, July 4.—There was a joyous reunion among the Negro troopers at Fort Bliss, when another of the shattered K. troop, Tenth cavalry, stepped wearily out of an army ambulance and into the post hospital for treatment of his broken arm. Corporal F. X. Cooke, he was and his sufferings since the slaughter at Carrizal appear to have been keener than those of his fellows who lived to tell of the disaster. Cooke was returned to the United States without special demand from Washington and with the ceremony which attended the return last Thursday of his 24 companions. Two days ago a ranch operator sent word to General Bell at Fort Bliss that a Negro trooper had been captured at Villa Ahumada several days after the Carrizal fight and was already on his way to Juarez under guard. Yesterday General Bell was informed the corporal would be brought to the bridge. An aid went to the international bridge, signed receipt for the weary black trooper helped him into an ambulance and the transfer was completed. "I had a hard time," said Cooke nursing his broken right arm. "don't know accurately what happened for I must have been hit in the head somehow. My last recollection is of trying to shoot with my left hand and not making much success of it. When I came to, it was night and I was lying under a mesquite bush. My canteen was gone and I think I must have gone crazy again, staggering across the desert in search of a well. I never will see a sight more welcome than that of a ranchhouse and a Chinese boy cooking. He gave me food and water. I couldn't ask, because my tongue was so swollen I couldn't talk." When he left the ranchhouse Cooke was caught by Mexican soldiers and carried to Villa Ahumada. Presumably under instructions from General Trevino, he was put aboard a train and carried to Juarez for delivery to the American forces. Two more of the luckless Boyd command arrived later, Sergeant Farried of C. troop, wounded, and Ernest Johnson of K. troop, suffering from exhaustion. They were picked up by the relief force and brought by way of Columbus. Cavalrymen who left Fort Bliss and went in pursuit of the Fort Hancock raiders have returned. Captain Elting of the Eighth cavalry decided it was futile to search for the small band which stole three horses from the camp. NEGRO TROOPS LEAVE ILLINOIS Springfield, Ill., July 4.-The Eighth (Negro) infantry regiment of the Illinois National guard left Camp Dunne for San Antonio early today. Both infantry brigades of the I. N. G. including approximately 8,000 men and officers, and the First cavalry including 1,500 enlisted men and officers, are now at or speeding toward the Mexican border. All the remaining mobilized troops of the state will depart tonight. The Cut Rate Grocery Store is conducted entirely by Negroes. See their Ad and patronize them! 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.

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 authorities 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. READ THE STAR, ITS NEWSY SWALES DEFENDS UNION SOLDIERS BELIEVES IN RACIAL PEACE. Daily Journal at Jacksonville, Ill., 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 lik 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 night 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 corthroats 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, wafted 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 alm 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 bondmen 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 Anderssonville and other dens of horror in the south which seem to have escaped the notice of the Rev. Mr. Dixon, who enologizes the cutthroat gang 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."
