DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR St. PAUL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY No. 11 VOL. 7 Single Copies 5 Cents MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. APRIL 28 1917. Washington—Echoes of the recent celebration of the Festival of the Mardi Gras still linger pleasantly in the ears of social Washington. The spectacular function was held in the immense convention hall, and more than 2,000 persons crowded into the scintillating arena. The affair, conceded on all hands to have been the largest, finest and most unique assemblage of its kind ever held in the nation's capital, was held for the benefit of the building fund of the Young Women's Christian association and is now firmly established as an annual event. The unprecedented success of the Mardi Gras this year, as was true of that of last year, is a personal triumph for Mrs. Anita P. Brown. From start to finish she gave to the work a degree of intelligence, industry, comprehensive vision and constructive ability that stamped her as a manager of the first rank. She was full of brilliant ideas and had the resourcefulness necessary to put them into practical effect. In conception and in execution she showed a capacity for leadership that was marvelous, and this is borne out by the concrete results produced by her skillful efforts. Among these splendid helpers were Mrs. Maud Hawkins, Mrs. Alice Wormley Francis, Mrs. E. D. Williston and Mrs. Walter J. Singleton. Willingly they gave the full measure of their social influence, time and physical strength to the cause. It is not a matter of wonder that the people so promptly and so numerously responded to their clarion call. The gentlemen were not less arduous in lending their aid to the work of providing a club home for their charming sisters, and their labors were helpfully in evidence. Walter J. Singleton rendered yeoman service as floor manager, and Judge Robert H. Terrell, besides lending the force of his valuable experience, garbed as a prince of the realm led the grand march. Others who materially assisted with the thousand and one details were A. Lincoln Brown, Custis Syphax, David L. Bruce, Dr. C. Summer Wormley, John H. Downing, Dr. E. D. Williston and others. OPEN LETTER TO ALL GRADUATES Hampton Begins Campaign For National Defense. Principal of Virginia's Leading Agricultural Institution Asks Hamptonians Everywhere to Teach Loyalty In Country's Present Crisis—Courage Shown In Notable Message. Hampton, Va.—Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton institute, in this town, has dictated and sent out under the direction of William Anthony Aery the following communication to all Hampton graduates, calling on them to mobilize all their forces in this national crisis. Dr. Frissell says: "We are now at war with the German government because the German government first made war on us, sinking our ships without warning and in defiance of all laws of humanity leaving women and children and other noncombatants to perish of exposure in open boats at sea. "Germany has plotted against the peace and safety of our land, endeavor- DR. HOLLIS B. FRISSELL. ing to stir up Mexico against us, and now the newspapers charge that she has sent agents through the south for the purpose of inciting the colored people to disloyalty. It may be that in some districts a few in their bitterness may have listened to evil counselors. "It is for you who have seen the light to do all in your power to inspire your people with patriotism and to arouse that deep sense of loyalty to our country which has always been one of the noblest characteristics of the Negro people. "As Dr. Washington and Dr. Muton have proved by their lives of quiet, unpretentious service, the colored man is going to secure recognition not by demanding his rights, but by deserving them. Bitterness, fear, hatred, narrow jealousies and selfish interests can have no place in our life at such a time as this when our government is calling for the best help that each man, woman and child can give. We must each put aside all thought of self and give this help generously wherever there is opportunity, whether it is for a white neighbor or a black neighbor, whether it is through some great sacrifice for the good of our country or by a cup of cold water to some one in want. "Let us show our colors and hang up the flag in the place of honor over the doors of our dwellings. Let us teach the children to love and respect that flag. The country needs all that you can do; it needs a larger food supply. If you have any land, no matter how small a piece, raise and can vegetables, increase your crops and teach others how to do the same. "If you bear threats of danger or see signs of dissatisfaction see that the matter is brought to the attention of the proper authorities and stamped out at once. Do not allow yourself to be disturbed by a few mischief makers. The great mass of your countrymen, north and south, believe in you and trust your loyalty absolutely. "We are all Americans together and must stand shoulder to shoulder in this crisis. Not only is it our duty and privilege to help our own country, but let us remember those war stricken countries across the sea—England, France, Belgium and the others which have been so bravely fighting and suffering these many months for the cause of right we have now championed. Let us try to help them also in every way in our power, by word and deed and prayer." SMOKE "SIGHT DRAFT" THE BEST 5c. CIGAR WASHINGTON FOLKS ENJOY FINE MARDI GRAS FESTIVAL Big Society Function Was Directed by Mme. Anita P. Brown. The Mardi Gras as a brilliant spectacle has had no equal in this community and would have done credit to the New Orleans originators of the mighty festival. The hall was lighted by a myriad of electric bulbs. The costumes of the characters were true to life, typifying every phase of human life of today and of the manifold personages of history and romance. With the vast assemblage whirling to the inspiring strains of L. N. Brown's orchestra of forty pieces and the fashion boxes filled with handsome gowned women and gallant men in evening dress, enshrouded in lavish decorations of flowers, flags and ensigns, the picture was one that "no artist could paint." Confetti, streamers and all of the paraphernalia of fun and frolic were there to drive away "carking care." A delightful diversion of the midnight hour was the artistic fancy dancing of Misses Lucile Moore and Hortense Gray, who performed a series of terpsichorean evolutions worthy of a Ruth St. Denis or an Aida Overton Walker. Of Mrs. Anita P. Brown, upon whose shoulders the entire weight of the management of the Mardi Gras fell, too much in praise cannot be said. To her must be accorded the lion's share of the credit for its satisfactory outcome. To draw 2,000 or more of the nation's elite and to clear upward of $700 in a single effort are feats of magic in this day of the high cost of living and the increased expense attached to the giving of large entertainments. But this is not the first instance where Mrs. Brown has scored heavily for the Y. W. C. A. and for other worthy enterprises, charitable and religious. FIRST BATTALION ON DUTY. Colored Troops Stand Guard to Protect Nation's Capital. The First separate battalion, the premier unit of the District national guard, is on duty at the vital spots of the nation's capital. Companies B and O have relieved the Second cavalry at the Washington aqueduct. The camp of the two companies is at the east end of Cabin John bridge. A Y. M. C. A. tent, with an officer detailed from the Twelfth street branch, will be established near by. Companies A and D are stationed at the highway and railroad bridges, guarding the gateways to the south, and have a camp in Potomac park. The chaplain will also establish a Y. M. C. A. tent there. Reading matter for the men is requested. newspapers and magazines being very acceptable. The battalion, under the command of Major James E. Walker, is looking fine and is acquiring itself with credit to itself and to the race. The guard will be on duty at these points for an indefinite period. MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. APRIL 28 1917. MORRIS REVIEWS RACE PROGRESS EMANCIPATION HIS THEME Son of Well Known Clergyman In Masterly Address Traces Upward Struggles of the Race Through Slavery to Freedom—Says Lincoln Was World's Greatest Seer and Prophet. Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., the precocious son of Rev. Dr. Morris of Norfolk, Va., who has been suffering from a temporary breakdown due to overwork, recently delivered at Hampton institute an address on "Emancipation," which commanded the respectful attention and admiration of an audience of more than 1,500 representative colored people. Mr. Morris is a student at Wilson academy, Nyack, N. Y., and has made an enviable record as a public speaker. He has spent a great deal of time and strength in speaking before large religious bodies. Prior to his recent illness he was engaged in preparing magazine material on "The Exodus of the Southern Negro." Some excerpts from his Hampton institute address on "Emancipation" will indicate the style and scholarship which characterize this young man's public speaking. He in part said: "This is the fifty-fourth year of emancipation, and it is eminently fitting that there should be an observance of it at the shrine of Negro education in America. Here are displayed in a conspicuous the gallant deeds of those whose souls are not trammeled, whose hearts are not embittered and who bear their burdens with a sense of manly pride and complacency. We come to show that theirs is a patriotic which will overthrow every despot and overcome every tyrant. "What have we accomplished? What is the sum total of our work? We have produced a Benjamin Banneker, a Phillis Wheatley, a Paul Laurence Dunbar, a Frederick Douglass and a Booker T. Washington. We have planted a schoolhouse on every hill, a church in every vale, a home on every street, a bank on many corners, an insurance company in every city. We own 300,000 separate pieces of property, the sum total of our wealth exceeding $700,000,000; we have 4,000 lawyers, 3,000 graduate doctors, 150,000 business men, 50,000 ministers, 40,000 churches, 35,000 schoolteachers, who, with a patriotic fervor in their hearts, are helping their race. We love Lincoln. He broke our bonds. He rent our chains asunder. "The white race often boasts of the fact that we have not intellectually been their equals. I dare to challenge this statement. I dare to say it is willfully false and maliciously untrue. The Caucasian has had fourteen centuries in which to develop. He, too, was in slavery for five consecutive centuries under Roman rule, yet he dares to assail us because ours was more recent, which is bad logic and worse common sense. But the black man who must of necessity hate a white man is but half free. The white man who will hate a black man is but half free. "I am glad the Negro was brought to America. I am glad he worked in slavery which extended over a period of 250 years. I am glad he labored with a loyalty, a faithfulness unexcelled by any people in similar servitude. I am glad he did not falter. I am glad he bore this crushing weight well. I am glad he was crucified on the cross of American slavery. I am glad he was buried in the grave and from that grave cometh a voice and sayeth, 'Though dead, yet I speak and live.' "When the two sections were becoming more and more estranged, when slavery was the very ground of the southern Confederacy and when the north had seen that 'slavery was a covenant with death and an agreement with hell' and that she could no longer support it, there came the great crisis of the American republic. But God always has a great man ready for every great crisis. He had Caesar ready to wage the campaign against the Gauls to build up Rome; he had Arnold Winkelried to defend Switzerland against the Austrians; he had Toussaint L'Ouverture ready in Haiti; he had Washington ready for the American Revolution, and he had the first American, the greatest man in the world's history, to guide the ship of state through four years of fire and blood. Lincoln knew that slavery was wrong. Lincoln knew that God had said long before. 'Let my people go.' Lincoln knew that a republic could not endure whose cornerstone was slavery "Henry W. Grady, the south's most brilliant son, has well said of the Negro. "To his eternal credit he it said that whenever he raised his black and humble hands that the shackles might be shaken off, those hands were innocent of wrong against his helpless charges and worthy to be taken in living grasp by every man who honors loyalty and devotion. "We are helping our brethren in every city; we are tramping' upon our former trivial prejudices. When we can present a united front, when we can really make a great contribution to American life, the American people will burst forth in the cry. 'Behold the colored American!" TEAMWORK AT NASHVILLE. Citizens of Tennessee Metropolis Raise $20,140.88 For Y. M. C. A. Nashville, Tenn.-By raising in a seven day campaign $20,140.88 the colored people of this city took up the offer whereby the white citizens were to supplement it with their $100,000, which, it is expected, will secure from Julius Rosenwald the $25,000 which was promised some time ago. They have already purchased the magnificent Duncan hotel property, which passed into their hands on Dec. 31, 1916, and which consists of a four story building of eighty rooms and the entire furnishings. The campaign was notable for the amount of ginger put into it. More than $10,000 was reported on the last day of the campaign. Money was solicited through letters, by personal subscriptions and by telegraph. Friends, ex-residents and sympathizers of Nashville people from all sections of the United States were brought into the campaign. The building, which will be remodeled from the funds of the present campaign, will be worth more than $200,000. It is said by the leading Y. M. C. A. experts to be one of the best locations and will be one of the most modern equipped buildings of any Y. M. C. A. among people in the United States. Contributions are still coming in, and it is expected that the grand total from our folks alone will reach the sum of $22,000. While this marks the third campaign in Nashville since 1914 in the interest of the Y. M. C. A., the daily papers say that the race has done well. In 1914 $33,000 was subscribed. Early in January, 1917, $6,000 more was subscribed, and in this campaign an additional total of $20,140 was subscribed. But it was understood that the campaign just closed is to conform with the campaign of the whites to protect the shrinkage, and to revive new interest. Henry Allen Boyd is chairman of the committee of management, and W. N. Sanders is the secretary. J. C. Naiper served as chairman of the present campaign; W. D. Hawkins, general of Division A; Preston Taylor, general of Division B, with Bishop I. B. Scott as vice chairman. There were fourteen teams at work, all schools and colleges helping. J. B. Watson, the international secretary, spent the entire time here helping to direct the effort. STAND FIRM FOR COUNTRY. New York World Extols Patriotism of Colored Americans. Under the caption "Negro Patriotism" the New York World says editorially: Negro leaders and educators are prompt to disavow the possibility of Negro disaffection due to German intrigue. At Tuskegee William G. Willcox, as chairman of the board of trustees, said that "in this great crisis the Negroes will not be found wanting." At Montgomery, Ala., 500 Negro teachers in convention cheered Principal Moton of Tuskegee when he "pledged the loyalty of the race to President Wilson." At Hampton, Va., Dr. Frissell of Hampton institute said: "The Negro has always been loyal. Certainly no other race coming from a foreign soil can be compared with Negroes in their loyalty to this country. What is true of the past is certainly true of the present." These pledges have a timely interest, but what occasion was there to take seriously the vague charges which have prompted them? There has never been the slightest ground for doubting the loyalty of American Negroes to the government that freed them. They fought for it long before that time, in the Revolutionary war, and their bravery in the civil war is a matter of history. By April 2, 1864, the number of Negro enlistments reached 71,976, and, according to Nicolay and Hay, "within half a year after Lincoln's order of enlistment the black regiments had furnished such examples of bravery on many fields that commanders gave them unstinted praise and white officers and soldiers heartily accepted them as worthy and trusted companions in arms." The reformatory school system originated in France and was adopted in England in 1850. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. WELL PREPARED FOR BUSINESS Professor Walter S. Woodyard's Career as Educator. HAS SERVED IN MANY FIELDS Story of How the Principal of the Dinwildie (Va.) Industrial School Won His Spurs—Possibilities For Success of the Institution Over Which He Now Presides. Dinwildie, Va.—"We must wipe from our race everywhere ignorance and litteracy, and we must be able to look every man in the face and let the world know that there is a man meeting a man, brain touching brain," is the declaration of Professor Walter S. Woodyard, president of the Dinwildie Industrial school, located at this place. The school is destined to be one of the greatest institutions in the country for the training of colored youth. Professor Woodyard has prepared himself for his work and ranks today with the best trained school man in the race. He was born in Mobile, Ala., and got his early education in the Mobile public schools. From the public school WALTER S. WOODYARD. he entered Emerson institute, in the same city, where he was prepared for his college work. He was during his school life a bright student, making good use of his time. After his graduation from Emerson institute in 1895 he entered the college preparatory department of Fisk university, from which he received his bachelor's degree. Professor Woodyard's first educational work after his graduation was as principal of the high school at Springfield, Tenn. In this position his abilities as a manager and teacher attracted the attention of the late William H. Council, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical college, Normal, Ala., who offered Mr. Woodyard the position of dean of the normal department of the above named school, which he accepted. On leaving Normal, Ala., Professor Woodyard became the director of the literary department of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school at Lawrenceville, Va., of which Archdeacon Russell is the principal. After two years of splendid work at the Lawrenceville school Mr. Woodyard returned to Mobile, Ala., where he taught for some time. He established a training school at Plateau, Ala. Soon after he established this school he was invited to take charge of the Edenton Normal school, Edenton, N. C., which is fostered by the A. M. E. Zion church. He took up the work in his present position when Professor T. C. Irwin resigned the principalship to become field secretary for the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. Professor Woodyard tells the following story concerning the institution: "The Dinwiddle Industrial school came into our possession through the benevolence of Alexander Van Rensselaer of Philadelphia, philanthropist and a stanch friend of the colored people. Mr. Van Rensselaer conducted the school in the interest of colored youths for several years up until 1907, known as the John A. Dix Industrial school. In 1907 the name was changed, and it was incorporated as the Dinwiddle Agricultural and Industrial school. Mr. Van Rensselaer decided to place the school in the custody of the colored people, together with the responsibility of running it, and through Professor S. G. Atkins, secretary of education, and Rev. G. L. Blackwell, general secretary, in 1908 he conveyed it to the board of education of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. "In coming into possession of the Dinwiddle Industrial school we have a heritage the value of which is almost inestimable when it is considered in the light of the opportunity it gives to our race. The plant consists of 149 acres of good land, the southern part of which borders on a creek. "There is a two story boys' dormitory, with a large, alry basement, which for the present is used for the girls' dormitory (the girls' dormitory was destroyed by fire just before the plant was conveyed to us); one building used temporarily for the boys' dormitory, one large barn with stables, wagon house, a henery, several wagons, a carriage, farming utensils, several mules, pigs and chickens. About 100 acres of the land are under cultivation, the rest in timber." THE CRISIS MAGAZINE Historic Illustrations and Timely Stories Featured in May Number. The May Crisis is a notable and interesting number. It contains the concluding part of Jessie Fauset's striking novelle, "There Was One Time," and an article on an southern colored farmer, Taylor Henson, written by a southern white man. "The Looking Glass" has some interesting comments of the war from the point of view of colored people and a largely unknown story of the colored sailors on the Merrimac. Among the pictures is a page picture of the French African troops after the battle of Douaumont and also pictures of the new Douglass square, Boston, and the Agassiz school, Cambridge, of which Miss Marla L. Baldwin, a colored woman, is head. In "The Men of the Month" section are featured the late Drs. M. W. Gilbert and A. S. Gray, Mr. Battey, the photographer; Miss Knox, a schoolteacher; two constructing architects connected with the United States treasury and Dr. Warring, the new head of the Howard Orphan asylum. "The Horizon" has a picture of Blanche Deas and of several recent high school graduates, together with an unusual amount of news. Perhaps the most striking thing in the whole magazine is a new poem by Mrs. Johnson, "To the Mantled," which, picturing the future freedom of the Negro, ends with these lines: Like joyful exiles, swift returning home. The rhythmic chanson of their eager feet. While voices, strange to ecstasy, long dumb, Break forth in major cadences, full sweet. Into the star shine, they come. sweet. Into the very star shine, lo, they come, Wearing the bays of victory complete! On the cover Miss Anita Thompson of Los Angeles, Cal., is dancing. The Crisis is published at 70 Fifth avenue. New York, and is edited by W. E. Burghardt Du Bols, head of the research department of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Sunday Schools to Meet In Boston.

Colored troops are now guarding the capital of the nation, and we have been informed that they are on duty around the White House, says the Richmond (Va.) Planet editorially. "Faithful unto death" has always been their motto, and the president of the United States can repose absolute confidence in the black contingent that has been bustered into service. There can be no question as to the patriotism of colored citizens. They have never known anything else. Loyalty has always been their watchword, whether the president of the United States was a Democrat or a Republican. And we add, there are no spies, plotters nor anarchists among the members of our race. This is our native home, the Stars and Stripes our national emblem. We will stand by the flag, protecting against any foreign foe. Mobile Colored Men Are Ready to Fight Matthew Williams of Mobile, Ala., has sent a communication to President Wilson in which he says, "I have the honor to offer myself and 900 men for infantry service in the United States army from the city of Mobile, Ala."

H. Redd met his former friend and present foe at the Porters' and Waiters' Club last Friday night. Mr. Justin M. Brown, (whose home had been broken up nearly a year ago by Dr. Redd), struck him with a bottle. He claims that Dr. Redd provoked him by mannerisms and a remark. Brown and his wife are now living together and proceedings against Redd had been withdrawn. Dr. Redd was dazed and after several days secured a warrant for Brown for assault and battery. Brown was arrested and gave bail. He will appear for trial on April 28th. Brown will plead guilty. The meanest scoundrel is the homebreaker, who boastingly taunts his victim. Only a fool would be guilty of taking those chances. When a fellow gets a movie of such scenes like the Brown-Redd case; something is going to happen. THE TWIN CITY ENTER TAINERS.

While it is admitted that there is a general prejudice, against the association of Negroes and white women (even when they are married as permitted by law); race prejudice is a worthless argument from a legal viewpoint, when the truth of conditions is self-evident. Atty. W. R. Morris, regarded as our leading race man, did his race a great injustice by claiming Mrs. Davis to be a white woman. She has not proven herself such, and the press has headlined the case, "Negress procures white girls for Negro men," also every article showed her to be a Negro woman, and the "white women and Negro men" relations were clearly drawn. Does Mr. Morris know that the burden of this will fall on the Negro women? A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR. The fact whether Mrs. Davis belonged to any race was immaterial, and had the defense admitted her race and made a greater attempt to prove her innocent, the verdict might have been different. She was convicted March 31st in the Municipal Court of keeping a disorderly house and sentenced to 90 days in the workhouse. A stay was given pending the result of the trial in the district court. Mrs. Mattie Davis, who was convicted for keeping a house of ill fame, evacuated her premises at 607 6th Ave. No. on Tuesday. The property is for rent. Alice Hayes, the daughter of Ida Dorsey, defaulted her $700 bond when she failed to commit herself to the work house for 90 days for keeping a disorderly house. She was formerly Mrs. Alva Hunton of Montreal. The Star Says So—That's All. BELL'S BARBER SHOP CLARENCE W. BELL, Proprietor.

The Minnesota Indians have of- fered ‘a company to Gov. Burnquist to serve,as a unit. They have been accepted. The Greeks, many who have served in this war, are organiz- ing a company to serve as a unit. They want to protect themselves. Why should the Negro not do like- wise? If the Negroes were so void of manhood as to forget the injustice of the present administration against them, they would not be possessed of that loyalty to the American Flag which they have defended with honor in all of‘ this Nation’s conflicts and always respected in times of peace. This is the only home of the Amer- ican Negro and he will defend it, tho denied his rights. It should be the delight of every Negro to serve under the command of Lieut. Col. Young. We must be willing to follow our own leaders. Should the war require a great num- ber of men, it would be a grand thing to have Col. Young as a Brigadeer General.

THE TWIN CITY STAR SMART SET ATHLETIC CLUB’S “SIXTH ANNUAL CARNIVAL Howard Drew Loses In Sensational Race With Andy Kelly. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Brooklyn.—The most notable event in athletic and social circles in thik city for the second week in April was the sixth annual monster athletic car nival, games and dance of the famou: Smart Set Athletic club. The event took place at the Thirteenth regiment ‘armory and ws attended by thou sands, who gathered early to get a good look at Howard Drew in action Music was furnished by the New Am- sterdam Military band. The crowd was enthusiastic through- out the program of attractions, but it went wild when the time came for Howard Drew to make his appearance. The band was compelied to play sev- eral-selections before one could accu: rately tell what was going on. Finally the band struck up “The Star Spangled Banner.” In an instant hats were off and every one was at attention. Then ‘came the dead heat ‘in the 100 yard dash between Drew and Andy Kelly ‘of Holy Cross cellege, The two noted sprinters got on the mark and at the crack of the gun fair. ly flew to the tape. ‘The finish was so close that the judges after several minutes’ discussion were undecided ‘which had won and therefore agreed to have the men run again. They got back to the starting point, and wheu the signal was given Drew got off in champlouship speed and led Kelly for about elghty yards, but Kelly overtook him and finished with margin enough to leave no doubt in anybody's mind that he had won. Fred Pollard of Brown university football fame demonstrated his skill as a burdler in the special sixty yard low hurcie event, defeating Arthur En. gles and John J. Eller. The three mile champlonship race of the National Cycling association was won by Eddie Goodwin of the Irish-American Ath. letie club. Eight cyclers were in the contest, Menibers of the board of governors were at pains to see that everything Possible was done for the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. The board consists of the following named well known Brooklynites: J. Hoffman Woods, chairman; George W. Latt! more, secretary; Willam F. Trotman, treasurer; Oscar A. Scottron, Edwin F. Horne, Sr.; Frederick B. Watkins Philip M. Thorne, George H. Wright Robert P. Lattimore, Lester A. Wal- ton, Alonzo F. Chadwick, Jr.; Louls E. Raxter, George W. Harris and Charles E. Conick.

E, Spingarn, well known asa friend of the Negro race. who says: “To the Educated Colored Men of the United States: “It is of the highest importance tha: the educated colored men of this coun try should be given opportunities for leadership. You must cease to remaly in the background in every field of na tional activity and must come forward to assume your right places as leaders of American life. All of you cannot be leaders, but those of you who have the capacity for leadership must be given an opportunity to test and dis- play it, “There is now just such an oppor- tunity possible for you in case of war to become leaders and officers instead of followers and privates. Major Gen. eral Leonard Wood of the United States army, commanding the depart- ment of the east, has promised that if 200 of you apply for admission he will organize and maintain a military tratu- ing camp for colored men, with just the sort of training to fit you to serve a8 officers of volunteers in case of war. “I do not believe that colored men should be separated from other Amer feans In any fleld of life. But the crisis 18 too near at hand to discuss principles and opinions, and It seems to me that there 1s only one thing for you to do at this juncture, and that ts to get the training that will fit you to Le officers, however and wherever and whenever this training may be obtain ed. If 200 of you do not send applica tlons Immediately the opportunity may be lost forever. “The camp will be conducted on ex actly the same principles as the mill tary training camp held at Plattsburg N. Y., where thousands of men have received intensive training In military service. It will be under the direction of United States army officers. It wil last four weeks. The date has not been fixed, but it will probably begin early in June, The status of every student at the camp will be that of a cadet just as at West Point “I understand that the transport tion to and from the camp will be de frayed by the government and that thy subsistence and training at the camp will be free. It ts probable that every man will have to pay his own fare to the camp and that after he arrives his traveling expenses will be refunded and bis fare home paid. The ouly ex pense will be the cost of the uniform, which each man’ must furnish himself. ‘This consists of a khaki blouse, khaki | breeches, two olive drab shirts, web belt, campaign hat and cotton lezuings. costing In all ‘about $8 or $10. Ans - good russet walking shoes will do. The outfit may be purchased on arrival at camp, or, better still, from the Arm? and Navy Co-operative company, with branches in New York, Washington and Philadelphif. Almost any sport: Ing goods store can furnish the outfit, | wAlch must be of the regular army | Pattern. Those who wish to do some study in advance are advised to real | Moss’ Manual of Military Training,” “Candidates must be between the ages of twenty and forty-five, in vig- orous health and of good moral char. acter. Men who are graduates or un dergraduates of colleges, high schools, normal, agricultural or industrial schools or other institutions of learning are preferred, but any man of intelli gence, character and ability may Join. Previous military experience is not necessary. If you are not a graduate or undergraduate of some institution tt might be advisable to have a letter of recommendation from some person of | repute. * “Send in your own application im mediately. But that is not enough. Go out among your friends and persuade them todo the same. We must not let this chance sip. We must bave ax many colored officers as possible. “Applications should be sent to Dr. J. E, Spingarn, 9 West Seventy-third street, New York. A brief letter, with a few details about yourself, will be sufficient for the present. We must persuade General Wood that over 200 a ee kere as, INDIAN PREFERS NEGROES. York Has Many Friends. The following appears in the current issue of the Bulletin Journal of the Surveyors and Customs Welfare associ: ation.

William A. Tolbert, who was born in New York city eighty years ago and who was appointed a night inspector in the customs service thirty-five years ago, 1s still on duty tn the office of Deputy Collector J. Castree Williams. “Mr. Tolbert has the unique distine- tlon of being the only employee of un- doubted American ancestry in the cus: toms service at New York. His par. ents, who belonged to the Mohawk tribe, removed from the Onondaga res: ervation to the city in the nineteenth century.

It matters very little in the long ran to the small boy when, how or where fireworks were first made and of what they are made now. But the fact re- mains that the despised heathen Chi- nese first made them and used them and that civilized communities did not know of them until the fourteenth cen- tury.

Mise Uxenia B. Scott Will Promote Welfare of Houston's People. Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk university and executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, has received word that Miss Uxenia B. Scott, one of the public schoolteachers of Houston, Tex., has Just been appointed by the Houston social service bureau as district secre- tary of the Neighborhood House For Colored People.

Miss Scott finished the Houston hign school and entered Fisk university in 1909, She pursued the four year course im education, receiving a degree of B. A. in education in 1913. During ber eollege course she took special eloc- tives in social science and social serv- fee. During one of her summer vaca- tons in Nashville she was volunteer supervisor of the first playground con- ducted in that city for colored children. ‘The following year Miss Scott was awarded one of the scholarships in s0- clal service offered at Nashville by the National League on Urban Conditions ‘Among Negroes. Upon graduation at Fisk, she went to Houston to teach in the public schools, but kept up her in- terest in social work and developed quite an interest in playground work ameng the colored children of that cfty, supervising a free playground al- most every summer and promoting such work during the school year. Her interest grew with this volunteer work so that last summer she attended the summer school of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, giv- Ing special ‘attention to playground and recreation work in order to better tit herself for the service she was giving to her home city. Her appointment as the first colored worker under the mu- nictpal social service bureau of Hous- ton, Tex., comes as a result of her training and her promise for the fu ture. 7 Dr. Haynes has commended her zeal for such work, and when the announce- ment of her appointment came said that he regarded her selection as a bright promise of social betterment among colored people in the progres- sive southwestern metropolis, because Miss Scott showed from the time of ber undergraduate days up to the pres- ent a@ fine spirt for community service, Mechanical Decoy Ducks.

I am against Catholic, Protestant, or Jew, if the representative of any of these creeds does anything against the American spirit. I demand whole-hearted and undivided loyalty to the United States. I denounce as a crime against the country the effort by any section of our people, of whatever origin to perpetuate racial divisions in this country—Theodore Rosevelt, in Metropolitan, Dec. 1916. Talking about Negroes being "too cowardly to fight" show me where one ever faltered on the battlefield. Name a traitor if you can. When the Son of God was on his way to death, Simon stepped up to his side, put his shoulder under the cross and helped him carry it. When a white foe felled President McKinley, a black man felled the tyrant. When at Carrizal, a white officer was mortally wounded, a Negro soldier also shot, grabbed the falling officer and heid him up with one hand while he shot at the foe with the other. Braver soldiers never lived, truer Americans can't be found, and by and by justice will be ours.—The Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W. Va. There are 10,000 Negroes enrolled among the 123,00 men who have volunteered to serve under ex. Pres. Theodore Roosevelt. Many of the leading men of our race show no interest in the attempts to organize the Negro for the coming crisis. The time has come, and they are found wanting. Why not have a united front? There are loyal men, real men, who lay no claim to prominence, willing to do their share, and many of the big? Negroes will be shown up as "slackers." The housing conditions for our people are horrible in Minneapolis. It is almost impossible to rent a decent place to live, while in St. Paul a Negro can rent a house in a desirable locality and pay moderate rent. Minneapolis is growing fast and there is a demand for Negro labor, but no attention is paid to their housing. They are forced to live in the jungle district, because they cannot rent in the desirable localities. This is a matter for the health and civic authorities, but nothing will be done unless there is an epidemic. Then somebody will find it necessary to give Negroes a chance to live in sanitary apartments, instead of being forced to congregate in dumps and hovels because of prejudiced real estate owners. Disease and contagion knows no color line. Read the Negro Papers. WRONG ON FACTS ABOUT LYNCHING Julian Street's Views Provoke Heated Discussion. STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS Miss Rachel E. Guy, Plucky Washington Schoolteacher, Makes Sweeping Reply to Article on the Negro-Atlanta Riots and Georgia Supreme Court Records Cited In the Controversy. Miss Rachel E. Guy, who is a member of the Afro-American Historical association in Washington and also a public schoolteacher, has written the following open letter to Julian Street anent Mr. Street's article entitled "The Negro," which recently appeared in Collier's Weekly: "Dear Mr. Street—I have read with great interest and more than once your article 'The Negro,' appearing in Collier's for Jan. 27. That you meant to be sincere is plain. That you believe you have been impartial is evident. You have succeeded in being the former. You have failed utterly as to the latter. "To explain, in your 'Facts About Lynching' you say, 'It was in this brief but terrible period (reconstruction), that the Negro's dream of political equality, which seemed to him to have been realized, surpassed itself in his poor, confused mind and became an utterly impossible dream of social equality, including the ultimate blending of the two races by intermarriage.' Further, 'To such a dream in the Negro mind may, you believe, be traced many of the atrocious Negro crimes against white women.' Not a word, Mr. Street, of the 'atrocious crimes' of white men against black women. "If intermarriage was and is the Negro's dream, then in places where he may marry white, if he pleases, he has not sought in any numbers to make the dream real. Here, in Washington, with a population of nearly 100,000 colored people, and in other cities north, east and west, the proportion of mixed marriages is negligible. Theoretical Discussion of Lynching. "You pass lightly over the number of innocent men and women brutally shot, hanged and burned. You discuss the reasons for lynching theoretically and with palliation. You speak of the Atlanta riots of some years ago, of the indiscriminate killing of colored people on the streets of that city as being a 'ghastly but effective remedy for a series of attacks of Negroes upon white women,' Mr. Street, you err. When has the wanton killing of innocent men, women and children ever deterred any rapist? Has lynching, the soul slickening, horrible burnings of the southern black men by southern white men, stopped any brute, be he black or white? "But there is another side to the Atlanta massacre, a side that the white southern press suppressed, a side that white Atlanta guards and keeps quiet, a side that colored Atlanta knows, and that is the fact that investigation disclosed that not one woman could be found who had been 'attacked,' that the 'series of attacks' were chimeras of prejudice mad brains. Surely you did not know, Mr. Street; you were not told, you did not investigate the court records to find out that for this savagery the black men took a 'tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.' Have you noticed that no colored man has been lynched in Atlanta since that time? Well, if you haven't it would interest you greatly to get on the inside of that question. I assure you it will more than repay you for your pains. "You quote the Enecyclopaedia Britannica as saying that 'colored people nearly always shield criminals of their own race against whites.' In God's name, who would not, when colored people of some parts of the south know that for the slightest misdemeanor one of their number may be taken out to furnish souvenirs in the form of charred human flesh, bones and teeth to an exulting, yelling mob of barbarous whites? If the 'gabbling, cackling, shrill laughter of the Negro as he squats on the curb with others of his kind'—if 'these strange sounds emphasize peculiarly the affinity that exists between a Negro and a mule,' so the swoop of a southern mob with torch and rope 'emphasizes peculiarly the affinity that exists' between a southern white man and a vulture, a vulture that tears out and rends the heart of its victim and feasts upon its multilated carcass in ghoulish glee. Cause of Nonconviction of Lynchers. "Besides, you admit that southern juries cannot and will not convict their lynchers, because 'every one in a county knows every one else, many of the families are related, they therefore stand together and protect one another, and the county authorities whose duty it is to apprehend lynchers usually fall to perform their duty, not always because they are unable to, but frequently, it is presumed, because the lynchers are their neighbors, if not their friends and relatives.' This, you say, is an explanation by a judge of the Georgia supreme court. Thus out of Georgia's own legal mouth does she stand before the world convicted and confessed a wanton oppressor and murderer of the weak, a délicet to her duty. Thus for the black man to shield a fellow human from torture is a hel- --- nous crime, meeting too frequently with death, while for the white man to protect another from the too lenient law is a human and commendable thing. "Southerners have told you that 'in civil cases, especially in cases having to do with property rights, the Negro can and does get justice.' Does he? Nothing whatever, Mr. Street, of the families that are driven off their land or made to sell for a mere pittance. That, of course (?), cannot be said to be within the province of the law. Why was the wealthy Anthony Crawford lynched? 'Impudence and striking a white man' furnished the excuse; the accumulated $20,000 worth of property was the real reason. AN APP The fundamental is the lack of suffice and interest of the duty we owe to each allowed ourselves to state of inertia and are oblivious of the justices meted out to not even attempt to in protest. Have we and quality of man stand erect before the heart and purpose? play our part as a peaped to do our du "You do not agree with Viscount Bryce that 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' should be generally read, because it seems to you that this tried friend of the United States has not advised us altogether well, because the primary purpose for which it was written has long since been served. Its value as a picture of average conditions under slavery is somewhat dubious, and the reading of it by those who do not fully understand this tends, you believe, to keep alive the thing which, now that slavery is gone, needs most of all to be abolished—namely, sectional feeling. Questioned About Southern Peonage. Questioned About Southern Peonage. "So, Mr. Sweet, slavery is gone! How about the infamous peonage systems in the south? How is it that some of the people in the 'black belt' do not know to this day that they are free! Keeping alive a dead issuet! How about the 'Birth of a Nation', a picture that keeps alive the hatreds and fosters prejudice against an oppressed people, that villifies and maligns them? Have you read unbiased reconstruction literature thoroughly enough to know that the 'Birth of a Nation' is not history, but a lie? If so, have you ever in print said that to produce it would be unwise and certainly unkind? Had you listened, as I have from childhood, to tales of horror, borne out by ineradicable scars of the brutality of slavery, you would know that 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' is in its letter and its spirit a true picture of what was. "The trouble, Mr. Street, is that the south has been the Rip Van Winkle of this country. It drank deep its draft of power and its peculiar ideas of superiority. It is just now being aroused by the new Negro, the Negro who through striving and sacrifice and education is coming into his soul's heritage. The south would keep alive, if it could, the 'Possum Dick' and 'Aunt Sophie' types of Negro. But, like all things else on this old planet of ours, they have had their day, have served as subjects for picture, song and story. The new Negro is no less worthy of artistic immortality. He is upright, with the straight in the eye look. He is ambitious. He is animated by a 'divine discontent.' He does his own thinking. He does not recognize and will not occupy any 'place' assigned him by another whose only claim to dictation is the color of his skin. "In your conclusion you say, 'Let the Negro firebrand learn the common Negro virtue of great patience; let him cease to worry about rights and think always of duty and destiny.' Has it never occurred to you that there is a place and a time when patience ceases to be a virtue and becomes a most ignoble crime? That time for the Negro is now; that place is here. Must Contend For Equal Justice. "Your advice to the Negro to 'think always of duty and destiny' is good. But the new Negro has been thinking about that for some time now. He knows that his duty is to contend for every right accorded other man of every other color. His duty is to give his children, no matter how great the sacrifice, every possible advantage for betterment and for growth. His duty is to protect with even greater zealousness the property, lives and honor of his own family than did his misguided forefathers protect those of an absent master. Instead of waiting supinely for a belated respect and justice from white men, he will work out and meet half way his own destiny. And that destiny! It is to stand on an equal footing with every other man of every other race, asking neither charity nor favor, but demanding and getting even handed justice. "You read the 'Negro Year Book.' Do you read the Crisis? The 'burning Dubois' through its pages sounds the clarion call of the new Negro to a new and changing day. You speak of winning the 'respect and friendship of the intelligent white south.' The intelligent white south has a duty (again duty) to perform, a most stupendous task. It has to send well equipped and consecrated missionaries to educate and Christianize its ignorant and heathen whites, in order that the entire south may at least claim justly to be civilized and may on its own behold win the 'respect' of the world and all the people thereof. "You know, Mr. Street, the psychology of pictures. As you never fail to put the extenuating 'but' beside every inhuman act of the south, in the name of all that's fair, why did you not show beside the sketches emphasizing Negro sloth and vice others representing Negro progress and virtue? I feel that you have written according to your light. How poor that light only one on the inside and not an 'outsider' can know." Elks to Hold Convention in Cleveland. The annual meeting of the grand lodge Independent Benevolent Order of Elks of the World will be held in Cleveland in August. Local lodges of the order in all sections of the country are beginning preparations to send large delegations to the Cleveland convention. Attorney Armond W. Scott of Washington is the grand exalted ruler of the order. The fundamental evil of our race is the lack of sufficient appreciation and interest of the responsibility and duty we owe to each other. We have allowed ourselves to so lapse into a state of inertia and lethargy that we are oblivious of the wrongs and injustices meted out to our people, and not even attempt to raise our voice in protest. Have we lost every sense and quality of manhood? Will we stand erect before the world high of heart and purpose? If we intend to play our part as a people and be prepared to do our duty to others, let us decide now what we want to do and make ready to do it. It is the duty of every adult member of the race to align himself or herself with this living existing organization and become an integral part of it. I am somewhat perplexed to think that any right thinking Negro should be without the pale of an association that stands uncompromisingly for freedom, equality and justice. Dear reader! is it your duty to take out membership? We owe each other a duty for it is the cement which binds the whole moral edifice together without which all powers and intellect, can have no permanence. The membership fee is ONE DOLLAR a year. Will you not lend your moral and financial support to this great movement? We are far from being immune to insults and prejudices here, and we can only do effective work by uniting ourselves and thus be prepared to legally fight these evils. Come out to our meetings and know and learn for yourself what is being done. The question you should put to yourself is not, what would people say? but, is it my duty?

He, who demands his rights, guaranteed him under our constitution, is not a traitor. The Negro cannot be expected to rally to the country's call today as he did to Lincoln and McKinley; but he is ever ready. He cannot be aroused by martial music, brilliant uniforms, patriotic addresses or pecuniary promises. Should the American people grant him equal rights as other Americans, he will then forgive their wrongs he has suffered. As it is, he is calm and deliberate. He will enter this war for his second emancipation. Tho he serves no human master, he is the slave of Race-hatred, Discrimination and that prejudiced Americanism—the Southern propaganda of the present administration. He is denied the right to enlist in many branches of his Nation's defensive service. He is awarded special honors, i. e. "held in reserve," for breast works. But he must fight to save his Country—that he might enjoy Liberty in its fullest sense. He must fight—that posterity shall awake in a new Americanism. This is our fight, if America needs us, and we shall not be called until needed. THE POOR DO NOT BEG. The man on the street or the woman at the door, who solicits aid on ground of your sympathy for his condition, may safely be assumed to be making a better living by that process than by accepting such care as the state offers. Minneapolis, just at the present moment, is suffering from an oversupply of beggars. The trade is a good one although somewhat risky. The more plausible the applicant appears, the greater the returns. But no genuinely poor person ever begs. It is difficult enough to find them with the aid of neighbors, schools, churches and relatives. The beggar is one who has discovered that a tale of suffering is an asset; and that no honestly poor person acknowledges. The continuance of begging is made possible by the continuance of thoughtless, unrelated relief giving, whether by individuals or societies. It will stop when we get together, pooling not only our resources but also our information. The waste of money in giving to the beggars does not compare in seriousness to the destroyed social sense produced in the mendicant. It is highly contagious and a well nigh incurable disease. We quarantine those who are carriers of small pox, we have not yet learned the method of preventing the spread of the begging spirit. — The Bulletin — Associated Charities of Minneapolis.
