PROGRAM FOR FUTURE WORK Fifty Representative Colored Americans Were Recent Guests of Dr. J. E. Spingarn at His Summer Home, Where a Frank Discussion of Problems Confronting the Race Was Held. Amenia, N. Y. — Fifty representatives of the Negro race of every school of thought and every form of activity held an important conference recently at Troutbeck, the country home of Dr. J. E. Spingarn, near here, having been invited by Dr. Spingarn, in order that the leaders of thought from every section of the country might freely and frankly discuss vital questions confronting the race and endeavor to DR. J. E. SPINGARN. ascertain the most advanced position that all might agree upon and hold as vantage ground from which to work for new conquests by colored Americans. Every phase of the race question was discussed. The following report was unanimously adopted: Your committee submits the following report for your consideration: The Amenia conference believes that its members have arrived at a virtual unanimity of opinion in regard to certain principles and that a more or less definite practical result may be expected from its deliberations. These principles and this practical result may be summarized as follows: First.—The conference believes that all forms of education are desirable for the Negro and that every form of education should be encouraged and advanced. Second.—It believes that the Negro in common with all other races, cannot achieve its highest development without complete political freedom. Third.—It believes that this development and this freedom cannot be furthered without organization and without a practical working understanding among race leaders. Fourth.—It believes that antiquated subjects of controversy, ancient suspicions and factual alignments must be eliminated and forgotten if this or organization of the race and this practical working understanding of its leaders are to be achieved. Fifth.-It realizes the peculiar difficulties which surround this problem in the south and the special need of understanding between leaders of the race who live in the south and those who live in the north. It has learned to understand and respect the good faith, methods and ideals of those who are working for the solution of this problem. Sixth.-The conference pledges itself to the inviolable privacy of all its deliberations. These conclusions, however, and the amiable results of all deliberations of the conference are fit subjects for discussion in the colored press and elsewhere. Seventh.-The conference feels that mutual understanding would be encouraged if the leaders of the race would meet annually for private and informal discussion under conditions similar to those which have prevailed at this conference.

WHAT HUGHESWOULD HAVE LEFT UNDONE That Is Campaign's True Angle and Not the Trite Question With Which Hecklers Are Nagging the Republican Standard Bearer. ACHIEVEMENTS ASSURANCE BLUNDERING IS NO HABIT Winning Democrats Trying to Run Away From the Record of the Administration and to Inveigle the Voters Down Rhetorical Bypaths, All In the Thinly-Disguised Effort to Change the Subject. When Mr. Hughes criticises the record of the Administration the spokesmen of Mr. Wilson cry: "What would you have done?" They forget that it is Mr. Wilson and not Mr. Hughes who is on trial. They forget that four years ago Mr. Wilson criticised Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt throughout the campaign and that Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt defended their respective records, instead of crying, "What would you have done?" They forget these things or they refuse to confess them. They are trying to run away from the record of the Administration and induce the people to follow them down some bypath of rhetorical hypothesis, all in the effort to change the subject. "By their fruits ye shall know them." When Mr. Hughes was Governor of New York he did not pay political debts by filling the public offices with unfit men. He did not champion certain principles during his campaign and repudiate them after he entered office. As Governor, he did not resort to brave and beautiful words as a substitute for firm and consistent deeds. He was careful in his use of words, but he backed his words with deeds. He did not promise what he could not perform. He did not plaster the people with compliments they did not deserve. He was not a rhetorician, he was not a fatterer, he was not "too proud to fight" for labor or for capital, for the strong or the weak, when the right was on their side. Mr. Wilson's spokesmen seek to divert attention from the attacks Mr. Hughes is making upon the record of the Administration by asking him, "What would you do?" They are unconsciously helping Mr. Hughes. They are recalling to the memory of the people the record he made throughout his two terms as Governor of New York. It was then that he first said "public office shall not be a private snap under my administration," and made performance square with promise. There is this about Mr. Hughes that makes him so different from Mr. Wilson: "Hughes means what he says." So it is that the campaign really a contest of character between two men, with sincerity as the differentiating and deciding factor. The Soldier Vote A significant feature following the Maine election was the nature of the soldier vote. It is reported that one Maine bat tallon hiked sixty miles in two days for the purpose of exercising the franchise. And we know how they voted! Latin politeness is proverbial, but aren't these Mexican commissioners exceeding the limit when they persist in likening Woodrow Wilson to Venustiano Carranza? Josephus Daniels might have made a passable secretary of the Salvation Navy, but it was pretty rough to impose him on Uncle Sam's fighting navy. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. OCTOBER 6, 1916. TAMPICO SCUTTLE A CRAVEN AFFAIR SAYS ROOSEVELT Constituted So Grave an Offense Against the Nation's Honor and Duty That the Man Responsible Should Be Removed From Office. WILSON CANNOT SHIELD HIMSELF BEHIND DANIELS Authentic Proof That Americans In Peril Were Desserted by Their Own Government Against the Protest of the Senior Naval Officer Present. Most Pusillanimous Episode In the Naval Annals of Our Country. Theodore Roosevelt in a letter to Henry Reuterdahl, the naval critic, criticises President Wilson and Secretary Daniels in connection with the Tampaico affair, when the American warships were withdrawn by order of the Administration. The colonel says "You have presented authentic proof of how the Americans in peril at Tampico were deserted by their own government against the protest of the senior American naval officer present. You have shown that the government at Washington had full knowledge of the danger of the situation through telegrams from Admiral Mayo sent by wireless to the navy department on April 11, 12 and 13. You also give the telegram of Mr. Daniels of April 20 directing the admiral to proceed to Vera Cruz. Mayo Feared Loss of Life. "You have shown that Admiral Mayo made an emphatic protest to the navy department, stating that he feared the result of the squadron's leaving would be the loss of American lives and property. You also quote the telegram sent by Admiral Mayo the following day, containing the protest of the American consul, Mr. Miller, and requesting authority to remain at Tampico. You have shown that, nevertheless, the navy department on the 21st confirmed its previous orders and directed the ships to leave at once." "You have shown that the admiral put out into the ocean eight miles distant, but received a protest from Conan Miller reiterating his demand for protection. You then quote the telegrams and signals of Admiral Mayo, who, in spite of his orders, nobly refused to run from the post of duty while the lives of American men, women and children were in danger." Can't Hide Behind Daniels. Of the President and Secretary Daniels the colonel writes: "President Wilson cannot shield himself behind Mr. Daniels, for Mr. Daniels could do nothing that the president does not order or sanction. When Mr. Daniel's actions have been brought to the attention of Mr. Wilson, and are not repudiated by him, they be come Mr. Wilson's; and Mr. Wilson is fully and completely responsible for Mr. Daniels, for all that he has done and left undone. "The proof is absolute that when Admiral Mayo was at Tampico he had received full knowledge of the rioting and of the imminent danger to American lives; but that, nevertheless, he steamed away into the ocean, and that the Americans were rescued by German and British ships. This action constituted so grave an offense from the standpoint of national duty and self-respect, that any man responsible for it should be at once taken out of office." Facts Made Public In U. 8. "Shortly thereafter the facts were made public in the United States. If Admiral Mayo had been responsible and had not acted under orders, then the only proper course for Secretary Daniels would have been to order his instant court-martial, and in such case the failure to do so would have shifted the blame at once from the shoulders of Admiral Mayo to the shoulders of superiors, President Wilson and Secretary Daniels. "Therefore, even if these telegrams did not exist, even if there had been no such orders, or those actually is sued by the secretary of the navy to Admiral Mayo, nevertheless his superiors, Secretary Daniels and President Wilson, would both have become fully responsible for the guilty transaction by their acquiescence therein. They cannot, as they have sought to do shift the blame to the shoulders of the admiral." Smoke "SIGHT DRAFT" The Reliable 5c Cigar. CONFERENCE OF EDUCATORS TO MEET AT DURHAM, N. C. Atlanta Constitution Highly Approves of Meeting Called For Nov. 21. The following editorial from the Atlanta Constitution of Tuesday, Sept. 19, is significant of three things—first, the constantly widening influence of the National Training school at Durham, N. C.; second, the timely interest which a large and increasing number of the white people of the south manifest in the educational work for colored people, their growing friendliness toward members of our race who show proper interest in racial affairs, and, third, the genuine approval of the able and constructive leadership of Dr. James E. Shepard, founder and president of the institution. The Constitution says: "A conference for Negro education has been called by James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School For Negroes at Durham, N. C. to meet in that city Nov. 21-24 next, to which all interested in the betterment of Negro education are cordially invited. "It is noteworthy that this conference proposes to deal with the subject upon a business basis—upon a basis of results that will best equip the Negro for substantial self support and aid him most in a self sustaining career. "This is the kind of work the leading educational institutions for the Negro, located in the south and fostered and assisted by the white people in this as well as in other sections, are now doing. "The National Training school at Durham is one of these, as is also Tuskegee institute. There are others—institutions that are teaching the Negro a trade, an industrial occupation which not only makes him independent, but makes him capable of rendering a service which is in constant demand and through which he can always earn a livelihood. "The Durham conference will deal with live questions concerning the Negro education. Moreover, if any one has any particular ideas about the betterment of the Negro's condition upon these lines this conference will furnish him an opportunity to present it. The work is one to which the white people of the south can well afford to lend their encouragement and assistance. "Education that will make the Negro a better and a more capable citizen and which, in the industrial world and where he has the ambition and ability, will lift him above the plane of the ordinary laborer will not only help the Negro race, but it will help conditions among both races in the south. "The opportunity is opening up for him more and more every year as a result of such conferences as that to be held shortly at Durham. The day is not far distant when there will be a chance to take advantage of it. It means self respect, better employment and better living conditions. It is a good work and should be encouraged." PROUD OF COLORED RACE. Commissioner Brownlow's Timely Address to Odd Fellows at Washington. Commissioner Lewis Brownlow of the District of Columbia in an address of welcome to the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which held its eighteenth biennial session at Washington in August, in part said: "I welcome you not only as members of this order, but also as American citizens. I am glad when fraternal orders meet in Washington, because it gives Americans an opportunity to see their capital. I wish especially to welcome those of you who are in this city for the first time. "Washington is the metropolis of the colored race. There are more colored persons here than in any other city of the United States. They form an integral part of the citizenship of which Washington is proud. "We are now completing a well equipped colored high school, named for Paul Dunbar, the great Negro poet. It is to be the most advanced institution ever erected devoted exclusively to the education of the colored race. We try in Washington to give equal opportunities of education to the colored race." The response to Commissioner Brownlow's address was made by Professor William Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, who said: "The Negro in America has always proved himself faithful and loyal to the flag. No one, not even the Negro's worst enemy, has ever questioned his patriotism. No one has asked him what country he would stand by in case of war between this and any other power. "I sometimes doubt whether the Negroes' best friends are in the north or the south, but I am sure of one thing—that is, that the best friend the American white man has in all the world is the American Negro."

Thrifty Organization Headed by Hamilton Travis Shows Its Pluck—Questions Candidates For Office and Issues Statement of Its Views on Various Problems of Racial Interest. The colored people of New Jersey are showing unusual interest in all movements for the improvement of social, civic and political conditions among members of the race in the various communities. The State Federation of Clubs recently held a meeting in Association ball, at Paterson, which was attended by 500 persons from the different cities and towns in the state. The federation was made welcome to Paterson by Mayor Amos H. Radcliffe. County Clerk John J. Slater and Sheriff W B. Burpo. John A. Huggs, president of the local association, stated the object of the meeting in a neat address, which was vigorously applauded. A feature of the meeting to which much attention and comment was given was the list of questions which the federation submitted to the candidates for governor and United States senator and the replies to the same. The questions were read by J. E. Sadler, editor of the Eastern Observer, at Montclair. The last speaker was Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Orange, who is the secretary of the National Medical association. Dr. Alexander's discourse was DR. W. G. ALEXANDER. filled with information and sound advice to the race. Messrs. Oliver Randolph, James H. Penn, Samuel H Branch, Dr. W. G. Alexander, John A Hull and Louis Johnson expressed the views, desires and sentiment of the federation in the following statement We commend the effort of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People in its present movement to raise a ten thousand dollar anti-lynching fund before the 15th of this month. We urge all members of this federation and all the people of New Jersey to contribute to this worthy cause. At the same time, we approach we call upon our people to take advantage of the excellent educational opportunities of our state. Our slogan should be, "Send the children to school!" The only way to equip the growing children for the duties of tomorrow is to educate them. Therefore, we call upon all colored people to manifest a greater interest in the schools this year than ever before. Let every student be encouraged to learn. Let us do our duty to our posterity by leaving them prepared to meet the duties that they will be compelled to confront. In spite of the fact that our laboring people are unjustly elbowed out of opportunities to make a living, we congratulate ourselves upon the fact that their record as industrious workers is clean. Their present industrial plight is based upon the fact that we have been deprived of their years of faithfulness and fidelity and loyalty. We call upon the true friends of humanity to reopen the doors of employment to colored men and women that have been closed to them. The colored industrial worker is, as a rule, the typical American workingman His Americanism alone should commend him to favor by an American employer. In addition to that, the Negro working-class community and the pathies are all American. He is neither violent nor revolutionary. We call upon all colored men of the state of New Jersey to call their ballots and exercise their right of suffrage at the coming election. We call upon the colored voters of this state to consider intelligently the issues and the principles of the coming election and to cast their bets for the candidate best fitted for the office and who stands square on the race question. The obligations that encumber the colored voter of the north are great. Upon his shoulders rests the double responsibility of casting his ballot not only for the best interests of himself and his state, but also to cast his ballot so as to bring political freedom to the voteless masses of his own race in the south. We therefore urge all colored men to soberly consider the heavy obligations that rest upon them with regard to the ballot, and we solemnly urge them to cast their ballots in such a manner that will reflect credit upon their citizenship and will commend them to the other American citizens in such a way as to convince that we are entitled to all the civil and political rights that belong to American citizens. We again bow our heads in shame at the news of the murder of two colored women and three colored men by a mob of white people in Florida. We express the hope that the offenders will be punished according to law. IF ELECTION WERE OVER? While Democrats Are Admittedly the Champion Question Fiends, it is Believed This Quiz is as Unanswerable as Their Most Childlike Effort. If election day were passed would President Wilson make so little of the principle of arbitration in industrial disputes? Would he be so sure that it is more important to preserve peace, when a great strike is threatened, than it is to make judicial methods rather than force the means of settling differences between capital and labor? If election day had come and gone would Mr. Wilson keep the national guardsmen of the country in camp on the ground that they may be needed to protect the United States against Mexico? Would there be months of inaction and indecision in which no use is made of a large body of citizen soldiers? Would they not be allowed to go home or else be set in motion to make Mexico as safe a neighbor as the Administration seems to think that it is already? If election day were past would the President drive through Congress a bill like the shipping bill which is intended to embark the federal government upon a new venture in a hazardous field and use $50,000,000 of the people's money to buy tonnage held above its normal value or else so owned that it cannot be used without peril of international complications? Is sound public policy behind such a measure or only campaign politics? If election day were not to be considered would Woodrow Wilson use so many high and mighty words in international notes and do so little to make them mean anything practical? Would his deeds lag so far behind his phrases? -Cleveland Leader. "HE DIDN'T DO RIGHT." Independent Voters Turning This Conviction Over and Over In Their Minds and It Will Cost Mr. Wilson Many a Vote. A Democrat who never voted for a Republican candidate for President except in 1872, when he was forced by the lack of a Democratic nominee to cast his ballot for Horace Greeley, says: "I expect to vote for Woodrow Wilson, but I don't like his course in the railroad dispute. He didn't do right." The railroad controversy has introduced a moral issue into the campaign. Mr. Wilson sacrificed principle to expediency, or what he judges to be expediency, when he tamely surrendered to the demands of the train-service brotherhoods. He put his own personal and party need before the public good. He angled for votes. He alimed a body blow at the tried and tested arbitration method of settling differences. "God help you; I cannot." he is said to have exclaimed to the railroad managers, who do not poll as many votes as their employees. But he could have helped them if he had stood impartially between them and the utterly reckless train-service representatives who were bent on their rule-or-rul programme. "He didn't do right." The consciousness of that fact is sinking deep into the American mind. "He didn't do right." That wide spread conviction will cost him thousands of votes on election day. "He didn't do right." He preferred the weak, the timid attitude of the born compromiser. The American people like courage. They like convictions. They like a man who has the courage of his convictions. They like a man who is willing to risk consequences for the sake of a just cause. It was an unjust cause in which Woodrow Wilson enlisted when he accepted the brotherhood view that the chief item in their demands could not be arbitrated.—Providence Journal. Reliable Health News From Georgia. The death rate among the colored people at Dublin, Ga., has been reduced to such a low figure as to cause one of the undertakers of Dublin to offer coffins and caskets at bargain prices. This is good news, as the death rate among members of the race is far too high according to population. This is especially true of the race in large cities.

THE TWIN CITY Invite you to GRAND SEMI-M UNION TEMPLE HALL, 2 MONDAY NIGHT ADMISS Dances will be held every two w THE TWIN CITY STAR J. C. Manning of Alabama Says War Amendments Are Ignored. The Hon. Joseph C. Manning, known the country over as one of the bravest of southern white men, believes in equal rights and opportunities for all citizens of the United States, regardless of race, color or creed. Mr. Manning was a member of the Alabama legislature in 1894-5, and as such he endeavored to bring about such legislation as would benefit the people of the state generally instead of a favored few. He has long been known as a fearless fighter for the legal and civil rights of the colored people. That Mr. Manning has the qualities of statesmanship and knowledge of the meaning of the federal constitution may be seen from the following article by Mr. Manning which appeared in the New York Globe Sept. 14, in which he says: Legislation has been put upon the country, such as the eight hour law and the like, by a house of representatives of the congress dominated by a membership without legal right or title to the seats they have and hold. The war amendments are self acting. "The right to vote shall not be denied or abridged," reduction in representation to follow automatically in event of said denial or abridgment. These states, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma, have disfranchising laws, denying and abridging the right of both whites and blacks to vote. Not one delegation from any one of these states is in the house by constitutional right or title, for, while denying and abridging the right to vote, representation has not been reduced. Since it is not possible to distinguish as to who of the illegal delegation in excess of the constitutional number should be admitted, it follows that the duty of the house was to exclude the entire delegation from each of the disfranchising states. These illegal delegations dominate the committees, control legislation, and it must follow that the legislation is subject to legal attack. That Mississippi, with 40,000 votes, and other southern states like Mississippi should elect an entire delegation to congress on such a vote is absurd. It is ridiculous that a state of the south should elect a delegation on a vote that is on an average with a single district of the states north and west. This is the first congress since this southern disfranchising political system in which the south is in the saddle and it is the first time, therefore, that this question is before the country. That this constitutional phase will get to the supreme court of the United States there can be no doubt. ASKS FUNDS FOR SLATTER. Penn Heads Movement to Aid Weil Known Newspaper Man. Cincinnati. In order to secure substantial financial support for Horace D. Slatter, well known newspaper correspondent, who is now in the mountains of North Carolina trying to regain his health, Dr. I. Garland Penn of this city, corresponding secretary of the Freedman Aid society, is fathering a movement to get a number of men to pledge $1 a month during the winter months.

'I've a gynwine raygrit at losin' ye,' says Wudthrow throwin' him a Cocked-Hat iv the vintage of 1909. "Here's the Army bill," says Garrison. 'How does it suit?' he axes. "Fine," says Wudthrow, "barrin' a few changes. 'Ye'll redraw it,' he says, 'to provide,' says he, 'voluntary universal service in a Federal Millishy,' says he, 'controlled be the states,' says he; 'an recruited be spiritual com-pulsion,' says he.

'Ye'll go an pass it,' says Wudthrow, pounding the desk. 'Hooray,' says the black Raypublicans votin' for the bill. 'Do I dream,' says Kitchin. 'If I lver drank, I'd tink I was boozed,' says Kitchin in a threemblin' vice. And he falls off. "How about the Army bill,' axes Hay. "Through an' instant preparation for defense must be the wurd,' says Wudthrow, wild heroic ris'lution in his eye. "I have here a bill," says Hay, 'providin' for an increase iv five hundert men a year for twinty year,' he says: 'an' amynishun for six hours' acksum,' he says: 'twill make us safe from maddygaker, measles, muckrakm,' milit-rism and marital infidelity,' he says, 'an' we'll catch Villy before he dies av he doant die before we catch him,' says Hay.

A wind that's from the rocks and sea and scented by the pine Sweeps through the sycamores today and where sequoias line The ranks of giant sentinels that guard the western slopes. The balam of this briny breeze brings heavy hearts new hopes. The mountains and the rivers cry the message that is Maine's To men whose pride was shattered, and their desperation wanes; Again their hearts are raised to look the future in the face. For the heart has been the clarion that's heartening a race. 'Twas shame that sunk the souls of us to depths we never knew In days our flag was honored in the harbors where it flew. When our brains homage, for they knew our hands were white. Are blood of our own countrymen had stained them like a blight. And new again our songs we sing of deeds that we must do To make the dream that passed away true; For the sturdy souls that breathe the pine have brought to life again The faith that fills a nation's heart that feels the wind from Maine. EDWARD S. VAN ZILE -New York Sun, Sept. 13. EDITORIAL COMMENTS. If you had two dollars to invest would you trust it to the business sagacity of Josephus Daniels? Then, why let him handle the millions that are to be spent on the new navy? Judging by the signs of War Department activity the Administration is cunningly arranging to bring the militiamen home just in time to enable them to vote for Mr. Hughes. A train of thought on a one-track mind has to be composed of shuttle cars. Three years ago Woodrow Wilson was explaining that hard times were psychological, but he isn't trying to squirm out of responsibility for the present prosperity. The disaster to the Memphis caused very little excitement, Americans being used nowadays to seeing the navy on the rocks. This Democratic Congress has passed into history—profane history. President Wilson's speech of acceptance could have been phrased even more succinctly in the graphic words of Boss Tweed, "What are you going to do about it?" We see by the interviews with the Mexican commissioners that the cam palign slogan this year in the Sonora bandit belt is "Thank God for Wood row Wilson." Mr. Wilson's eulogy of Lincoln at Hodgenville was more literary but less sincere than the one he pronounced upon himself at Shadow Lawn The new half dollars will have an olive branch on one side and on the other an eagle, in full flight. Wilson money Motto of the McAdoo shipping law: "The sun never rises on the American flag." A Democrat's idea of an ideal watch dog of the Treasury is a Pommeranian. Mr. Wilson is now busily engaged working the other side of the suffrage street. The campaign agents who two years ago were busily engaged thanking God for Woodrow Wilson seem to be taking their vacations just now. A record wasn't the only thing the late Congress broke there's the Federal Treasury. Congress didn't want a Tariff Commission composed of $12,000 men those $7,500 salaries being designed for $1,200 men. President Wilson's scheme for commissions for everything has been adroitly planned to make three jobs for deserving Democrats grow where only one would grow before. Vice-President Marshall says Mr. Hughes is an echo of the past. Quite true. Of statesmanship, of patriotic performance and safe legislation. First fruits of the Adamson bill: The New York street car strike. OF FAMOUS SPEECH We notice that the editor of the Democratic campaign book, made up of samples of "Woodrow Wilson's Wit and Wisdom," has tampered with one specimen speech by omitting the phrase "too proud to fight." This smacks of lese majeste, to say the least. The only possible excuse for this sin of omission that we can think of is that there may also be times when a haughty handbook compiler is too proud to print. "This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, and if it ceases to be the home of the brave it will soon cease to be the land of the free."—Charles E. Hughes in a Speech Delivered at Plattsburgh, N. Y. DECLINED TO PERMIT A SQUADRON TO DEFEND AMERICANS. At Tampico there was a general movement of attack by the Mexicans on Americans and other foreigners. We had a squadron of American warships in the neighborhood. The Wilson Administration declined to permit this squadron to be used to defend the lives of American men and the honor of American women, and the commanders of the German and English ships at Tampa had to step in and perform the task our representative had so basely abandoned. At the very time that the Mexican mob had surrounded the building in which the Americans had taken refuge and was howling for their blood, the American fleet, in spite of the protections of the American naval commander, and in accordance with wireless orders from Washington, was forced to steam out of the harbor and leave the Americans to be massacred by the Mexicans or rescued by the Germans and English.—From the Speech of Col. Theodore Reesevelt, Delivered at Lawisten, Maine, in Behalf of Charles E. Hughes. --- POLITICAL JOTTINGS If plans "to get Villa" are abandoned Villa should reciprocate and refrain from organizing expeditions "to get" American citizens. The fact that Mr. Wilson could endorse this Pork Congress shows that he isn't seasick, anyway. Mr. Pinchot also seems of the opinion that God Hates a Quitter. The man who quotes the Baltimore platform is regarded as a political archeologist. "He kept the country out of war," but he robbed it of its peace. Up in Maine they are now rhyming Hughes with Moose. And there is reason as well as rhyme connecting the two words. "Victory," Mr. Fairbanks told Oklahoma Republicans, "surely will perch on our banner." But Champ Clark tied it up in a neater and more compact bundle when he said: "They licked hell out of us." Members of President Wilson's cabinet are ready to do anything to re-elect their chief, except resign. Writes a former Princeton man: "At first we called him W. W.'; then we made it I. W. W.'" That one term plank in the Democratic platform of 1912—it is more than likely to hold, after all. When President Wilson called upon the Mexican commissioners at New London he revived old precedents, but did he wave the Stars and Stripes? A man in Washington has made a bust of the President, thus anticipating Mr. Hughes by several weeks. Discussing the endorsement by the Democratic convention of Texas of Mr. Wilson's Mexican policy, the Houston Post (Dem.) fatly declares: "It is not believed anything like a majority of the people of Texas indorse our Mexican policy, and those in a position to know seriously doubt that the platform adopted expressed the real sentiments of the convention itself." The Omaha Bee couples woeful waste with watchful waiting as a Democratic failing. Boiled down, the best that has been said of President Wilson's Mexican policy was that he had good intentions. We've often heard of a road paved with this kind of material. The President is deceived if he believes that the history he has written is not more praiseworthy than that which he has made. President Wilson signed the Philippine bill as moving picture cameras clicked. There is one man who is not afraid to have his mistakes recorded! WILSON CONSISTENT ONLY IN HIS VACILLATION. As it is with "war," so it is with "intervention." President Wilson has again and again said he would not "intervene" in Mexico. As a matter of fact he has intervened continuously * * * but as he never followed any policy of either intervention or non-intervention with any resolution—always yielding at the critical moment to some bandit chief of whom he became fearful—both his spasms of intervention and his spasms of non-intervention have alike been entirely fute.—From the Speech of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Delivered at Lewiston, Maine, in Behalf of Charles E. Hughes. THE TWIN CITY STAR PUBLSHED EVERY FRIDAY BY CHARLES SUMNER SMITH, 305—So. Fifth Street. Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Raising Funds to Run Down Lynchers. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held two big meetings on Thursday. Aug. one in New York city and the other in Brooklyn. The meetings were hell in the interest of the anti-lynching fund of $10,000 which the association has undertaken to raise for the purpose of bringing to trial the leaders of the lynching mob responsible for the recent murder horror at Waco. Tex. Toast of Colored American Congress. The historical and astronomical toasts used at the national congress of colored Americans held in Washington Oct. 4-15. "The stars in their course side with a race fighting for its rights." -Trotter. REGISTER OCT. 28. The registration of the Negro vote is very important. The right of suffrage should be exercised and a full vote will make the Negro a political factor. THE PARTY LABEL It is hardly necessary to state that the Negro vote will go to Mr. Hughes, because Negroes have been consistent Republicans. They cannot support Mr. Wilson, because of his "Segregation of Negro employees" and his catering to Southern sentiment, which is anti-Negro. But there are many good men in the Democratic party who are our friends. Some are in office and their record on Negro questions stands on par with their Republican colleagues. It is more a matter of sectionalism than partisanism. The Northern Democrat is often preferred to the South- clat is often preferred to govern Republican. Notwithstanding that we want to increase our Republican strength in both branches of Congress; we should not follow the label and vote for a candidate, who is tagged as a Republican and repudiate a present office holder, tho a Democrat, who is on record as being for equal rights for all Americans. Dr. Cyrus Northrop, a supporter of Press, Taft, said that "if Mr. Wilson proves to be a good president, he would support him for re-election." Dr. Northrop is for Mr. Hughes.

DISCORD AMONG BAPTISTS GROWS Big Contention Over Training School at Washington. MISS BURROUGHS DEFENDED Alleged Attempt to Wrench Control of Progressive Institution From Its Present Chief Official Met With Defiance—Auditor of Morris Wing of National Body Questioned. The alleged attempt of the National Baptist convention to oust Miss Nannle H. Burroughs from the presidency of the National Training School For Women and Girls at Lincoln Heights, Washington, has met with a tremendous host of objectors. This new move on the part of some of the officials of the convention has stirred the entire Baptist denomination among the colored people of the United States. The following statement issued by a member of the women's auxiliary convention voices the sentiment and attitude of Miss Burroughs' supporters. The men's department of the split National Baptist convention chose as their main channel for diversion at the 1916 session Miss Nannie Burroughs and the National Training school at Washington. They have indeed met with a different proposition than that of Mr. Boyd and the publishing house at Nashville, Tenn. It will not be long before these worthy gentlemen discover that they have met their Waterloo. Word has gone out that the men of the very dignified National Baptist con- A. E. H. NANNIE HELEN BURROUGHS, A. M.vention have resolved that the National Training school shall become their property and its management and affairs be placed in their control, so it is said. Should failures dictate to successful women? For eighteen years the men have been raising money for the purpose of building a theological seminary and as yet do not own a brick. No wonder they marvel at the ability of one woman to rear up such a work as the National Training school in the course of six years. Hardly is it to be expected that they can realize the work of Mr. Boyd in connection with the publishing house. Should such men dictate as to how the work of the training school should be carried on, much less to take upon themselves its entire control? What have they done with the money raised for the seminary? Associate Officers Made No Defense. The women who went to Savannah, Ga., recently might have been tools, but the hundreds who helped to build up the National Training school are not. They will see that the one who has borne the burden shall stay and complete the work begun. Why did Miss Burroughs' sister officers sit with mouths buttoned up and hold the clothes while the cowardly failures stoned the innocent victim of their petty jealousy? Unless they were part and parcel in the whole conspiracy—and are willing to give up their property into the hands of the men. The would be auditor of the convention claims that his purpose is to protect the interest of the property. He has probably failed to read article 9 of the bylaws, which furnishes full protection. We would refer him to the section which reads: "So long as the woman's auxiliary and the national Baptist convention shall foster the institution the executive staff of both conventions and the secretaries of the boards shall always be members of the boards of trustees. "At their first meeting the trustees shall divide themselves into classes by alphabetical arrangement of states as nearly equal as possible, these classes to serve one, two and three years respectively, but all trustees to continue in their offices until their successors have been elected and signified acceptance thereof. Subsequent elections shall be for the term of three years except in case of vacancies, which shall be filled for unexpired terms of the class in which they occur." Rather would we trust the bylaws THE TWIN CITY STAR than the word of a man who audits books and makes reports which are thousands of dollars out of the way in one place the auditor states that there has been paid to Miss Burroughs 55,000, whereas she has received but $200. This distorting of figures was done with either malicious design or gross incompetency. In either case the innocent victim suffers, for which the auditor should be made to answer. He should further be made to furnish Miss Burroughs the difference. Of course he offered an apology, but that does not suffice, when in his financial report there are errors amounting to eight or nine thousand dollars, for which the convention would be responsible. ROOSEVELT LEADS LOVE We heartily accept America's greatest support the regularinee of the Republic vention, Hon. Chas. do what we can for a Republican ticket. accord with the entire party. The suffrage State's Rights measure the Negro women a right to vote. We program giving a S over-ride the Consti When Miss Burroughs sought to point out the errors in the auditor's report she was met with yells, "We'll stand by our auditor. Give us Rogers." How gloriously inspiring to the great Baptist family it must be to see the dominant organization resolve itself into a machine of oppression against one lone woman. Yes, stand by Rogers, a man and proven failure as an auditor! Down with Miss Burroughs, a woman who is a successful educator and builder! Rogers will need several people to stand by him and to those who were not present and have since read of the affair, it seems a marvel that he was not bodily ejected from the platform. Something more than momentary indignation should follow the treatment of our corresponding secretary. M.M. Rogers will find the women "puzzling angels" before he has finished with his claims. Miss Burroughs has given her heart's blood to make the National Training school what it is today. The same gluttonous principles which prompted the controversy concerning the publishing house and resulted in the disgraceful and deplorable split in Chicago are again at work. As was predicted at that time this was the first opportunity to cause a disturbance among a hitherto peaceful body. The women's meeting had been both successful and uplifting, when these resolutions were railroaded through for the property of the National Training school to be removed from the hands of the trustee—no doubt they remembered that her was a good field for Jack-leg professor seeking a job and obviously convenient for those who have sons and daughters to educate. But the women will protect the property of the National Training school regardless of the contemplated robbery. What explanation has President Morris to offer concerning his attitude in permitting this same auditor to be re-elected? "A woman who can start up and build up an institution that carries an intrinsic value of $55,000 and a moral and beneficial value to the race of several hundred thousand dollars is as well prepared to handle the affairs of the National Training school. Miss Burroughs is better fitter than any man coming out of common country schools, who has never had a job at anything more than teaching in rural schools and gauging whisky for the government, who suddenly leap into prominence through political canyenne and wire pulling in secret societies. To the minds of the public she seems that the one who has built up this national institution should stand at its head till God says, 'It is enough—come up higher.'" The news of this contemptible movement has traveled like wildfire, and the entire country is supporting Miss Burroughs and her work. She is besieged with telegraphs and personal messages of encouragement and sympathy and has been tendered the support of a host of influential friends from every section of the country and representing every walk of life. Mr. Rogers would find himself a most uncomfortable guest should he have the tenacity to impose his unwelcome presence in Washington, New Jersey or New York, where the influence of Miss Burroughs has been felt for all that is good and uplifting. Miss Burroughs Worked For Peace. Miss Burroughs Worked For Peace. On a plea for peace an article which appeared in the weekly papers of July 15, the writer clearly set forth Miss Burroughs' attitude as being first and last for peace and unity in the denomination. Her only fear was that dissonance might be sown in the ranks of the women by the warring men It was in the spirit of peace that Miss Burroughs sought by every possible means to bring the bodies together This commendable effort was pounced upon by another very ingenious brother in the person of Rev. L. K. Williams, also of Texas, who by distortion of fact and juggling of words sought to place Miss Burroughs in the guise of a disturber, accusing her of desiring to set up the women independent of the men. This was as far from her thoughts as the poles are apart. This act of the convention only drives the women to do so, as a matter of self defense. The women of this country who have worked to hold up Miss Burroughs in building up this work are prepared to go to the last ditch with Miss Burroughs in holding her at the head of this work. It is not left for Miss Burroughs to say that she will resign even though her heart must bleed under the terrible strain. Yet she represents a cause that will suffer immeasurably more than any individual can. The National Training school is the property of the convention. Its rights are amply protected by a board of trustees. The work of the training school has become effective through the genius and skill of Miss Burroughs and it is to her the women look for its continuance. In her initiative, the materials and to work with, the obstacles which she was confronted. Miss Burroughs may be likened to the women in Ecclesiastes 9:14-15. ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOLLOW. 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.

It is hardly necessary to state that the Negro vote will go to Mr. Hughes, because Negroes have been consistent Republicans. They cannot support Mr. Wilson, because of his “Segregation of Negro employees” and his catering to Southern senti- ment, which is anti-Negro. But there are many good men in the Dem- ocratic party who are our friends. Some are in office and their record on Negro questions stands on par with their Republican colleagues. It is more a matter of sectionalism than partisanism. The Northern Demo- crat is often preferred to the South- ern Republican. Notwithstanding that we want to increase our Repub- lican strength in both branches of Congress; we should not follow the label and vote for a candidate, who is tagged as a Republican and repudi- ate a present office holder, tho a Democrat, who is on record as being for equal rights for all Americans. Dr. Cyrus Northrop, a supporter of Pres. Taft. said that “if Mr. Wilson proves to be a good president, he would sup- port him for re-election.” Dr, North- rup is for Mr. Hughes. We, as Ne- ‘ro voters, must put the character and record of the candidate above any party label. Some members of the State Repub- lican Committee are just being in- formed about Pres. Wilson's segrega- tion poligies and practices, and they expect the Negroes to devote their time, energy and money to defeat him. This newspaper is not donated to any campaign committee .

We sell space and if there is nothing to be paid for space we remain neutral in State affairs. We are not boosting every State candidate, because he is a Republican. We are against Mr. Wilson and for Mr. Hughes for President. There is not a Negro employed at the State Republican Headquarters. No effort has been made to secure the Negro vote. DISCORD AMONG BAPTISTS GROWS Big Contention Over Training School at Washington. MISS BURROUGHS DEFENDED Alleged Attempt to Wrench Control of Progressive Institution From Its Present Chief Official Met With Defiance—Auditor of Morris Wing of National Body Questioned. The alleged attempt of the National Baptist convention to oust Miss Nannle H. Burroughs from the presidency of the National Training School For Women and Girls at Lincoln Heights, Washington, has met with a tremendous host of objectors. This new move on the part of some of the officials of the convention has stirred the entire Baptist denomination among the colored people of the United States. The following statement issued by a member of the women's auxiliary convention voices the sentiment and attitude of Miss Burroughs' supporters. The men's department of the split National Baptist convention chose as their main channel for diversion at the 1916 session Miss Nannie Burroughs and the National Training school at Washington. They have indeed met with a different proposition than that of Mr. Boyd and the publishing house at Nashville, Tenn. It will not be long before these worthy gentlemen discover that they have met their Waterloo. Word has gone out that the men of the very dignified National Baptist con- Mary E. NANNIE HELEN BURROUGHS, A. M.vention have resolved that the National Training school shall become their property and its management and affairs be placed in their control, so it is said. Should failures dictate to successful women? For eighteen years the men have been raising money for the purpose of building a theological seminary and as yet do not own a brick. No wonder they marvel at the ability of one woman to rear up such a work as the National Training school in the course of six years. Hardly is it to be expected that they can realize the work of Mr. Boyd in connection with the publishing house. Should such men dictate as to how the work of the training school should be carried on, much less to take upon themselves its entire control? What have they done with the money raised for the seminary? Associate Officers Made No Defense. The women who went to Savannah, Ga., recently might have been tools, but the hundreds who helped to build up the National Training school are not. They will see that the one who has borne the burden shall stay and complete the work begun. Why did Miss Burroughs' sister officers sit with mouths buttoned up and hold the clothes while the cowardly failures stoned the innocent victim of their petty jealousy? Unless they were part and parcel in the whole conspiracy—and are willing to give up their property into the hands of the men. The would be auditor of the convention claims that his purpose is to protect the interest of the property. He has probably failed to read article 9 of the bylaws, which furnishes full protection. We would refer him to the section which reads: "So long as the woman's auxiliary and the national Baptist convention shall foster the institution the executive staff of both conventions and the secretaries of the boards shall always be members of the boards of trustees. "At their first meeting the trustees shall divide themselves into classes by alphabetical arrangement of states as nearly equal as possible, these classes to serve one, two and three years respectively, but all trustees to continue in their offices until their successors have been elected and signified acceptance thereof. Subsequent elections shall be for the term of three years except in case of vacancies, which shall be filled for unexpired terms of the class in which they occur." THETWIN CITY STATE than the word of a man who audits books and makes reports which are thousands of dollars out of the way in one place the auditor states that there has been paid to Miss Burroughs $5,000, whereas she has received $200. This distorting of figures was done with either malicious design or gross incompetency. In either case the innocent victim suffers, for which the auditor should be made to answer. He should further be made to furnish Miss Burroughs the difference. Of course he offered an apology, but that does not suffice, when in his financial report there are errors amounting to eight or nine thousand dollars, for which the convention would be responsible. ROOSEVELT LEADS LOW We heartily accept America's greatest support the regular incee of the Republic vention, Hon. Chas. do what we can for a Republican ticket. accord with the entire party. The suffrage State's Rights measure the Negro women a right to vote. We program giving a S over-ride the Consti Auditor Rogers' Report Under Fire. When Miss Burroughs sought to point out the errors in the auditor's report she was met with yells, "Well stand by our auditor. Give us Rogers." How gloriously inspiring to the great Baptist family it must be to see the dominant organization resolve itself into a machine of oppression against one lone woman. Yes, stand by Rogers, a man and proven failure as an auditor! Down with Miss Burroughs, a woman who is a successful educator and builder! Rogers will need several people to stand by him and to those who were not present and have since read of the affair, it seems a marvel that he was not bodily ejected from the platform. Something more than momentary in design should follow the treatment of our corresponding secretary. M.M. Rogers will find the women "puzzling angels" before he has finished with his claims. Miss Burroughs has given her heart's blood to make the National Training school what it is today. The same gluttonous principles which prompted the controversy concerning the publishing house and resulted in the disgraceful and deplorable split in Chicago are again at work. As was predicted at that time this was the first opportunity to cause a disturbance among a hitherto peaceful body. The women's meeting had been both successful and uplifting, when these resolutions were railroaded through for the property of the National Training school to be removed from the hands of the trustee—no doubt they remembered that her was a good field for Jack-leg professor-seeking a job and obviously convenient for those who have sons and daughters to educate. But the women will protect the property of the National Training school regardless of the contemplated robbery. What explanation has President Morris to offer concerning his attitude in permitting this same auditor to be-elected? "A woman who can start up and build up an institution that carries an intrinsic value of $55,000 and a moral and beneficial value to the race of several hundred thousand dollars is as well prepared to handle the affairs of the National Training school. Miss Burroughs is better fitter than any man coming out of common country schools, who has never had a job at anything more than teaching in rural schools and gauging whisky for the government, who suddenly leap into prominence through political canyenne and wire pulling in secret societies. To the minds of the public I seems that the one who has built up this national institution should stand at its head till God says, 'It is enough—come up higher.'" The news of this contemptible movement has traveled like wildfire and the entire country is supporting Miss Burroughs and her work. She is besieged with telegraphs and personal messages of encouragement and sympathy and has been tendered the support of a host of influential friends from every section of the country and representing every walk of life. Mr. Rogers would find himself a most uncomfortable guest should he have the temerity to impose his unwelcome presence in Washington, New Jersey or New York, where the influence of Miss Burroughs has been felt for all that is good and uplifting. Miss Burroughs Worked For Peace. Miss Burroughs Worked For Peace. On a plea for peace an article which appeared in the weekly papers of July 15, the writer clearly set forth Miss Burroughs' attitude as being first and last for peace and unity in the denomination. Her only fear was that dissension might be sown in the ranks of the women by the warring men. It was in the spirit of peace that Miss Burroughs sought by every possible means to bring the bodies together. This commendable effort was pounced upon by another very ingenious brother in the person of Rev. L. K. Williams, also of Texas, who by distortion of fact and juggling of words sought to place Miss Burroughs in the guise of a disturber, accusing her of desiring to set up the women independent of the men. This was as far from her thoughts as the poles are apart. This act of the convention only drives the women to do so, as a matter of self defense. The women of this country who have worked to hold up Miss Burroughs in building up this work are prepared to go to the last ditch with Miss Burroughs in holding her at the head of this work. It is not left for Miss Burroughs to say that she will resign even though her heart' must bleed under the terrible bleak. Yet she represents a cause that will suffer immeasurably more than any individual can. The National Training school is the property of the convention. Its rights are amply protected by a board of trustees. The work of the training school has become effective through the genius and skill of Miss Burroughs and it is to her the women look for its continuance. In her initiative, the material and to work with, the obstacles, which she was confronted. Miss Burroughs may be likened to the wives seen in Ecclesiasstes 9:14-15. ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOLLOW. 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.
