MINNEAPOLIS THE TWIN CITY STAR MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY SOCIETY EVENT AT NEW YORK King-Powell Nuptials Finest on Social Calendar. CEREMONY CHARMS PUBLIC Marriage of Blanche Fletcher Powell to Clarence Doyle King, Young Divinity Student, on Saturday, June 2, at the Abyssainian Baptist Church, Witnessed by Over a Thousand People. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.-Beneath a bower of palms and dogwood blossoms, offset by artificial trimmings on both sides of the altar, Blanche Fletcher, only daughter of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. A. Clayton Powell, became the bride of Clarence Doyle King at the Abyssinian Baptist church in this city Saturday afternoon, June 2, at 3 o'clock. The marriage ceremony was performed by the bride's father, who was assisted by the Rev. William-P. Hayes, pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist church. Without begging the question or resorting to the use of superfluous adjectives the function in every detail recorded the last word in perfection on the social calendar. Previous to the entrance of the bridal party W. A. Merrit sang with fine effect "Oh, Promise Me," and Mrs. Stella Hawkins then began playing Mendelssohn's wedding march. Drs. Powell and Hayes entered the spacious auditorium first and were followed at good regulation distances by the ushers, bridesmaids, groom and best man, maid of honor, ring bearer, and then MRS. CLARENCE DOYLE KING. came the bride, dressed in a beautiful gown of white satin, opalescent trimmings, tulle veil caught up with orange blossoms and leaning upon the arm of her father's nephew, Lawyer H. G Tolliver of New Haven, Conn. The maid of honor was Miss Ethel Gardner, who wore a beautiful blue silk dress, opalescent trimmings and blue silk hat trimmed with forgetmenotes. The bridesmaids and their-costumes were: Miss Marie Haskin, New York, blue satin and lace and hat of same; Miss Beatrice Willis of Orange, Va., pink satin and lace, hat of pink satin and gold lace; Miss Evelyn Brown, New York, pink satin and opalescent trimming, hat to match; Miss Alma Thornton, Yonkers, N. Y., pink satin and geogrette crapet hat to match; Miss Marion Pugh, New Haven, blue taffeta and tulle blue hat to match; Miss Helen Wilson, Willimantic, Conn., blue taffeta and hat of blue velvet. The flower girl was little Miss Thelma Johnson; ring bearer, Master A. Cayton Powell; best man, Leroy Jennings of New Haven. The ushers were Washington Joiner, George Royal, George Jackson, Robert L. Whitehead, Julius Smith and Garland Kennedy. The bride's wedding dress was expensive, a thing of beauty, and was made and given by a dear friend of the family, Mrs. Effe Miller. The wedding cake was all that the culinary art could produce and was the gift of Mrs. Thomas Jennings of New Haven, Conn. The bride also received $200 and numerous other gifts of much value. The members of the Abyssinian church did themselves proud in showing their pastor, Dr. Powell, and family every courtesy one could wish on such an occasion. Fully 1,000 people witnessed the marriage. Mrs. King is a graduate of the public school and was a student at the high school for three years before matriculating at Hartshorn Memorial college at Richmond, Va. Mrs. King also took a business course at one of the best schools in this city. The groom is a native of Virginia and a divinity student at the Virginia Union university. Richmond, Va. The happy young couple were at home to their friends at 240 West Fortieth street, New York, on Wednesday, June 6. The spontaneous outburst of the public in showing honor to the young couple, however, is not surprising when one considers the popularity of the Rev. Dr. Powell, who is known throughout the country as a great preacher, safe leader. NOTABLE YEAR'S WORK AT THE ABYSSINIAN CHURCH Widely Known Baptist Corporation Raised $25,174.53, Report Shows. New York.—The fiscal year of the Abbasinian Baptist church, New York city, Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D., pastor, ended in May. The reports at the annual corporate meeting showed that this religious real estate corporation reached the high water mark of its financial prosperity last year. During the past twelve months the corporation raised from all sources $25,174.53. The church offerings alone totaled $12,098.36, or a little over $1,000 per month; $10,000 was paid on the principal, and the secretary of the trustee board reported a balance on hand of $6,089.74. When Dr. Powell took charge of the congregation eight years ago the corporation owed $150,000, and the membership was very much divided. It is now one of the best organized churches in the country, and the indebtedness has been reduced to $124,000. This church is widely known for its benevolence. During the year just ended the following amounts were given through the trustee board: Education, $249.25; foreign missions, $179.37; home missions, $501.60. In addition to this, benevolent work was done by the following auxiliaries: Board of deacons, $256.90; Sunday school, $50.25; B. X. P. U., $45; female ushers, $18; male ushers, $15.50; Sunday morning band, $24.83. The Highway and Hedges society gave to needy children and adults 1,132 pieces of clothing, sixty-nine pairs of shoes, fifty-seven hats, $71.27 in money and served a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day to forty-eight children. The Missionary society sent out ninety baskets of food during the year to poor families and assisted others in cash with $181.99. There are six young men of this church studying for the ministry—one at Virginia seminary and five at Union university. Dr. Powell pays the entire expenses of one of these young men from the sale of his sermons, and the church helps all of them. GOT JUSTICE ON TRAIN. Howard Found Seats For Fellow Passengers in Spite of Discrimination. Montgomery, Ala. - Knowing one's rights in a matter and firmly insisting upon them will often get for a black man in the south consideration usually denied as a matter of course. Such was the experience of C. E. Howard of Jacksonville, Fla., president of the National Negro Travelers' Protective association. Coming to Montgomery from Panascola, Fla., Mr. Howard relates this incident, which happened on one of the fast trains of the Louisville and Nashville railroad: A large number of people, more than sufficient for the usual accommodations on this line, converged at Flataton, which is a junction point, and boarded the northbound train. Most of the people were going to northern sections, but all the discomforts of a crowded train were sure to prevail as far as Montgomery, a distance of more than a hundred miles, and probably as far as Birmingham, another hundred. After all the women were seated who find seats eighteen persons were sit crowded in the aisle of the compartment allotted to colored passengers. No effort was made by any member of the crew to secure seats, although there were only three white passengers in the adjoining compartment allotted to white smokers. Mr. Howard approached the conductor at the first opportunity with reference to finding seats, when that worthy asked what there was for him to do in the matter. Howard replied that room might be made in the white smoker since it was not fully occupied and that it was supposed that the Negro passengers were to have equal accommodations. He pointed to the fact that many of the passengers had already come long distances and were going still farther. The conductor, although surly, made room in the smoker for the eighteen who were standing, and before reaching Montgomery that compartment was completely filled with Negro passengers. The usual method when any room is made for them at all under such circumstances is to make Negro passengers ride in the "baggage coach ahead." SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. JUNE 23 1917. TRUSTEES UPHOLD MISS BURROUGHS THEY ASK FOR SUPPORT Pass Resolutions In Which They Commend President's Conduct of National Institution For Women and Girls In Washington—Latter Celebrates Cess of Most Successful Year. Washington. For months there have been wild speculations as to what would be the attitude of the trustee board of the National Training School For Women and Girls, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is president, in regard to the Rodgers recommendation. The board met at the institution during the commencement and passed the following resolution: Resolved, That the trustee board, in regular session assembled, declare that they are legally and rightfully the custodians of the National Training School For Women and Girls, Inc., and have no authority to hire any person or persons. This being the right of this trustee board, we think it unwise and unnecessary to accede to the request of the national Baptist convention submitted at its last session, 1916 (recommended by Auditor Rodgers), concerning the transfer of the National Training School For Women and Girls, Inc., as the rights and relationship to the woman's convention auxiliary to the national Baptist convention are all protected by its board of eighty trustees specifically set forth in article 4 and in bylaws 9 and 12 of the corporation. Be it further resolved, That we have implicit faith and confidence in the capability and unswerving integrity of the president, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, in conducting the affairs of the National Training School For Women and Girls, Inc., and urge the hearty co-operation of all loyal Baptists and all others interested in the training and development of women and girls education and honor. By entitled efforts we can here glorify build up the kingdom, live up to our sacred trust and uphold the high standards already set up at this institution. This clears the sky for the school and keeps it out of the great battle that has been raging among national Baptists for over two years. It was evident from the beginning that neither legally nor morally could those trustees do less than they have done and expect the school to live. The acceptance of the Rodgers "scheme" would have meant death and destruction to a $75,000 plant that has been built up by one woman in seven years. Then, too, the trustees could not transfer the property. To whom would they transfer it? Neither the woman's convention nor the national Baptist convention is incorporated, so they claim. Who then would become legally responsible for the school if the trustees step down and out? It does seem that certain of our Baptist brethren have lost their senses. People are not going to invest money in a school that is in the hands of people who are not legally responsible for their acts. So far as Miss Burroughs is concerned she needs no vindication. Her work is her defense. She is a hard working, honest, conscientious, far visioned, brave leader, and the people will stand by her regardless of how some of those opposed to her think or feel. Their acts have been published for eight years, and they are simply declaring that the woman's convention cannot reverse itself without injury to those who have carried out the provisions of a charter submitted, accepted and published eight years ago. The trustees simply stood up in defense of the trust committed to them. The attendance was the largest at any meeting in the history of the school. Many who could not come sent their proxies with definite instructions that they stood against anything that would interfere in the least with the school as it now stands. The hearts of the trustees were made glad when Miss Burroughs formally turned over a new library building and reported the purchase of the Chanman place and adjoining property. This addition of over $7,000 in realty and buildings makes 1917 the year of greatest progress in the history of the school. The enrollment was the largest. Every teacher is paid in full. The trustees are in debt to Miss Burroughs, but they arranged to start a campaign to pay the faithful, self sacrificing head official. Friends have already sent in response to an appeal over 3,000 books or the new library. The school had already nearly 4,000 volumes. The commencement exercises were a fitting climax to the most successful year the school has had. Twenty-two young women received certificates and diplomas. Tommy-Pop, what is a theorist?

WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY SHARES IN GREEN ESTATE Thrifty New Yorker Leaves $1,500 to Famous Ohio Institution. By the will of the late John A. Green of New York city Wilberforce university at Wilberforce, O., is beneficiary to the amount of $1,500. The estate consists in the main of real estate which may be sold to good advantage, as property values are constantly advancing. James A. Anderson, executor of the Green estate, has notified President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university that as soon as settlement of the estate is made the amount above named will be forwarded to the university. This recognition of the beneficent work which Wilberforce is doing for higher education is a most worthy tribute to the institution and to Dr. Scarborough, whose administration of the affairs of the school has been efficient and thorough in all lines of literary and business management. The present school year has been noted for earnestness on the part of both students and faculty to get the very best results from class work, lectures and recreation. The commencement exercises begin on Sunday, June 11. Bishop Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia, Professor Richard T. Greener of Chicago and Bishop Evans Tyree of Nashville, Tenn., are among those who will deliver addresses during the commencement season. The dedication of the Tawawa hospital for the use of students will occur on Thursday, June 21. The matter of supreme moment which will engage the attention of Dr. Scarborough during the summer will be the securing of sufficient funds to complete the amount necessary for the erection of a new science building which is so much needed. The increase in the enrollment of students from year to year calls for more room. President Scarborough has made many friends for the school, and the results of his efforts in its behalf grow larger as he makes known the success and needs of the institution to the general public. FIFTY YEARS IN BUSINESS. Year Book Shows Advance Made by Race Along Various Lines. The Negro Year Book, edited and published by Monroe N. Work, gives the following account of racial activities along various lines, using figures from the 1910 census report and other reports up to January, 1917. It says: When the census reports for 1910 were published it was found that in the ten years 1900-10 the Negro had made about as much progress as he had made in the previous thirty-five years. The first indication of the remarkable progress which the Negro had made in this decade was revealed when the returns for agriculture were made public. From these it was found that in these ten years the value of farm property owned by Negroes had increased from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218, or 177 per cent. In the field of business the number of Negro bankers increased from 4 to 50, restaurant keepers from 3,995 to 6,369, or 59 per cent; wholesale merchants from 149 to 241, or 61 per cent; retail merchants from 9,098 to 20,653, or 127 per cent; hotel keepers from 481 to 973, or 102 per cent; undertakers from 453 to 978, or 114 per cent. Excluding 10,600 boarding and lodging house keepers, there were in 1910 38,382 Negroes engaged in business enterprises. This did not include those operating barbering, blacksmithing and shoe shops or various classes of business connected with trades for which separate returns of proprietors were not made. Probably 5,000 more should be added for persons operating these businesses, making the total number of Negroes engaged in business in 1910 about 43,000. A survey of fifty years of Negro business enterprise shows that remarkable progress has been made. There were in 1867 Negroes in some forty different lines of businesses: they numbered about 4,000. The total capital which they had invested was probably not more than $1,000,000. In 1917 Negroes are in 200 lines of business. They number about 50,000. Baptists Holding Meeting In Boston.

CIGAR RACIAL LEADER NOW FOURSCORE Pinchback's Eightieth Birthday Celebrated In Washington. ACHIEVEMENTS RECALLED. Speakers of Note Tell What "Last of the Old Guard" Has Done For the Uplift and Encouragement of His Races. Long List of Offices"Held by Guest of Honor. By R. W. THOMPSON. Washington.—Two hundred members of the race, representing the flower of American manhood, participated recently in a delightful reception and luncheon at Odd Fellows' hall tendered to former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback in commemoration of the eightieth anniversary of his birth. The occasion is conceded to have been the most notable of its kind ever held in the nation's capital. The direction of the affair was in the hands of a committee headed by Judge Robert H. Terrell, chairman; R. W. Thompson, corresponding secretary; HON. P. B. S. PINCHBACK. W. J. Singleton, financial secretary; J. Finley Wilson, recording secretary, and John T. Howe, treasurer, supported by auxiliaries for various departments of the work. Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court of the District of Columbia acted as master of ceremonies and set a warm pace at the outset by his wit, humor, ready grasp of situations and felicity of utterance in introducing the various speakers. The race's only judge of a recognized court enjoys an enviable reputation throughout the country as a toastmaster and added new laurels to his brow on this occasion. His opening speech and tribute to Governor Pinchback was a gem of personal appreciation and a reservoir of historical lore worthy of preservation in pamphlet form. The addresses which followed were pitched in one key—that of veneration and respect for the "last of the old guard," a hearty recognition of the great work he has done for the uplift of his people, a sympathetic appreciation of the countless sacrifices he has made in his battle for our constitutional privileges and equality of citizenship as 100 per cent Americans. His constructive labors as a soldier in the civil war, his proud record as the chief executive of a sovereign state—marvelous in the light of more recent events—his election to the legislature of his great commonwealth, then his victorious campaign for the post of congressmen at large, and finally his brilliant dash for the United States senate, to which he was fairly and squarely elected—all came in for exhaustive and laudatory review. His telling services to the race in other federal positions, such as surveyor of the port at New Orleans and as a special agent for the bureau of internal revenue and member of the New Orleans board of education, were also given prominence. Not only this, but his sturdy allegiance to the organizations that contended for the civic advancement of the race, such as the National Afro-American council, was extolled. The thrilling story of his sensual race with Henry C. Warmoth, a claimant for the Louisiana governorship, was told amid cheers. The response of Governor Pinchback to the mountain of encomiums that has been heaped upon him was tender, gracious and in a vein of the profoundest gratitude. He said he had simply tried to do his duty as he saw it. He had made his record and must stand or fall by it. There had been times when he had felt that much of his labor had been in vain, but the cordial good will and hearty appreciation expressed on this occasion had shown all such forebodings to have been unfounded, and from now on he would take on a new inspiration—a vigor of spirit, mind and body. He regretted that his advanced age prevented him from again taking up the cudgels for his people, for the present crisis, with its new problems, is one that will require the best energies and highest capacity of every man to meet. He looked for the Negro to "come back" in the early future and that from the stress and storm of the battle before us a leadership will be developed that will lead the hosts onward to even greater victories than those of the past. PERRY WINS HONORS. Lawyer's Writings Recognized and Rewarded by French Government. Rufus Lewis Perry, a lawyer, with offices at 873 Fulton street, Brooklyn, has been made a member of the Société Academique d'Histoire Internationale of France for two treatises which he has written in French. The writings are entitled "L'Homme d'Apres la Science et le Talmud" and "La Situation Actuelle en Haliit" ("Man According to Science and the Talmud" and "The Actual Situation In Haliit"). In these works Mr. Perry displays erudition and the results of deep research in literature and history. In addition to the diploma noting his election to membership in the society, Mr. Perry received a gold medal. PICKENS IS IN DEMAND. Many Organizations Seek Professor's Services as an Orator. The laymen's missionary movement of the United States and Canada is to be congratulated upon its good fortune in having as one of its chief speakers Professor William Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, who delivered a most scholarly and instructive address at the meeting held at Roanoke, Va., the early part of June. Professor Pickens' subject was "New World Conditions a Challenge to the Church." It is indeed gratifying to the race particularly and the public generally to note the liberal amount of time and, thought which Professor Pickens so willingly devotes to the many great movements for the good of the members of both races. Following the laymen's series of meetings Professor Pickens spoke at a large gathering at York, Pa., on "The Negro and the Present Crisis." His views on these timely subjects are given serious consideration. After hearing the speaker at one of the above meetings a man said, "Mr. Pickens is not only a level headed man, fine scholar and gifted educator, but he is also the dean of young Negro orators in the United States." On Friday, June 15, Mr. Pickens spoke in Philadelphia under the auspices of the Armstrong association. On Wednesday, June 27, he is to speak at Atlantic City, N. J. at the Eworth league convention. Professor Pickens will wind up his speaking tour on Sunday, July 1, at Harper's Ferry, W. Va., where he will deliver one of his great educational addresses at one of the sessions of the Epworth league institute. His services are in great demand, and any organization or institution which is fortunate enough to secure his services deserves a high compliment. PRAISES RACE MUSIC. Harvard Organist Finds Much to Admire in Hampton Performances. Dr. Archibald T. Davison, organist of Harvard Memorial chapel, who has been making a study of the music work at Hampton institute for the general education board of New York, recently sang the bass solos in the "Elijah" oratorio, which was presented in part by the Hampton institute chorus, the Hampton Choral union and several soloists, including Miss Bessie L. Drew, Miss Clara F. Smith and Dove A. Burrell, under direction of R. N. Dett. Dr. Davison teaches in Harvard university, leads a choir of forty men and is chairman of the musical advisory board of Boston. Dr. Davison said: "There is a great tendency in education not to take music as seriously as mathematics and other studies. The benefits of musical instruction are quite as great as those derived from other studies." Mere singing or playing does not constitute musicianship. It is necessary to learn the fundamentals and to acquire the meaning of things. To have musical intelligence one must begin at the beginning. "I have been greatly impressed with the singing and music at Hampton institute. The devotion to music is very strong. I wish to congratulate you on your music teaching. The plantation singing is very good. It corresponds with the folk singing of France and England. You have the basis for going forward. All music is derived from the folk songs. Learn all there is to sing and to play." Swans keep water completely free from weeds. Dutch children often use their wooden shoes as toy boats.

THE DICKERSON CARNIVAL Central Ave. and 6th St. S. E. BEGINNING JUNE 24. New York Address, April 29. The annual health week campaign conducted in Greater New York under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People was brought to a successful close on Sunday, April 29. Professor William Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, was the orator of the day. Dean Pickens' subject was "The Negro and Health," and he said in part: The American Negro has been so often discussed as if he differed from other men in his relation to the laws of society, that some have grown bold enough to imply that he differs from other men even in his relation to the laws of nature. That effort to be consistent is natural. The question is not so much a "race question" as it is a question of environment. It may be called a class question, for it is closely connected with his economic and social status. In brief, the Negro is not sick or well because of the color of his skin or because of the shape of his nose or feet. There may be certain diseases which more readily cause the true of all races in reference to some disease or other, and perhaps the explanation is historical. Man was scattered over the earth and lived in more or less isolated groups for a long period of time. It happened, therefore, that one group had to battle with a certain disease more than did the others. The group adopted a constitutional resistance to this disease, and that the disease weeded out from this group those elements which were peculiarly subject to its attack. It may be that the white man of the past was more subjected to tuberculosis and became in a degree immunized so that now tubercular basilic attack the Negro's constitution grew. The grof of the past suffered from hookworm, so that now hookworms attack the white man more successfully. But, be that as it may, it is plain that environment is the chief factor and is the point of attack for science. For these evils are preventable. Tuberculosis may be worse for the Negro when he has it, but it is not necessary for him to have it. Hookworm may be worse for the white man when he has it, but it is not necessary for him to have it. The black man cannot escape tuberculosis by becoming white; the white man cannot escape hookworm by becoming black. The race question cannot help either, but an improvement of economic conditions will help both. The black man can become better food and more rest and air and a sanitary house he will have less tuberculosis. If the poor white man can have better pay and instruction so that he will possess the means and the knowledge to simply shun the hookworm he need not have that disease at all. The Negro's death rate under present conditions is often spoken of as if it indicated that he is not human like other men, but on the contrary it proves that he is exactly human like other men. If the Negro, living as he now lives, died no faster than the white man living as the white man now lives, it would prove that the Negro is not human like the white man. Another thing—the psychology of the matter. We have learned that the mind helps to kill or to make alive. "Worry is more wearing than work." The lower economic status bears on the Negro the harder and injures him the faster proposition and knows that it helps the result of social injustice rather than of natural causes. The "jim crow" car kills him not only with its fith and germ, but also with the state of mind which it induces in him. The Negro is often spoken of as a happy go lucky race that never worries. This is a half truth. He may be sunnier in nature and inclination than the white race, and for that very reason a period of depression may have more terrible effects on him. A more phlegmatic temperament might be less affected by either joy or sorrow. The Negro who can laugh most loudly in the sun may also weep most bitterly in the shadow of despair. In a segregated and neglected city district, where the slums are thrust at his very door and the saloon is occupied the very eavesdropping who should of his child will be gradually done to death, not only by the filthy streets, the accumulating garbage and the lack of sewers, but also by the mental and moral depression which his normally sunny disposition is compelled to support. The more intelligent he is the more he will suffer. The man who does not know that disease germs exist does not worry about them. Does this not partly explain the fact that the more intelligent Negro of today will die quicker in which in which Negro of two generations ago lived? Another indication that the cause is environmental rather than racial is the testimony of the missionaries to the remarkable physical well-being of the African Negro. And European scientists say that the physically most perfect type of man is the Zulu Negro. Since the principal cause is the environment the needy is science and social work. Let us consider how closely bound up is the question of health with the question of wealth. They are mutually cause and effect. The better health, the better business success and economic progress, and the more success in business the better advantages for preserving health and especially for endowing the succeeding generation with health. The United States census department figures show that Negro of two generations figure grows smaller in home ownership figure grows larger. The reason is evident. The man who owns a house will be prouder of it. He will keep it in better repair and cleaner, he will cut a new window for light and air, he will put in panes promptly, he will engage the plumber without delay, he will instill a culture of punctuality, an environment and being freed from the bondage ent, he will have more money for recreation, decent amusement and needed medical care. This is what makes the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes one of the most useful organizations in the whole land. They realize that the question of physical, intellectual and moral health is closely connected with the question of industrial opportunity and economic condition. The endeavors of the community to do a better job and his family into a better house, which will mean sounder health, more leisure and study and higher morals. Cairo's Books.

THE TWIN CITY STAR "Life's Demands" Approved For Memphis Pupils. ENRICHES STUDY COURSE Worthy of Recognition by Any of the Colored Schools of the South, Says Tennessee City Superintendent—It Makes Clear the Relationship of the Two Races in the United States. The superintendent of Memphis city schools recently notified the school boards and superintendents of Memphis. Tenn., that the local board of education, upon his recommendation, had approved the book "Life's Demands," by the Rev. Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, as a supplemental reader for the colored schools of that city, says Sallie Wistar in the Philadelphia Ledger. The notification was amplified by an explanation setting forth this book A. B. REV. DR. SUTTON E. GRIGGS. marked the first effort by any colored author to prepare a textbook for the colored schools of the country and that the splendid purpose of Dr. Griggs in preparing such a work had his hearty endorsement. Mr. Kincannon expressed his opinion that it should "enrich the course of study of any of the colored schools in the south." The book contains much thoughtful reflection on the characteristics of the Negro race—its deficiencies as viewed from the angle of the white man and of the standards of the white man's civilization. The great outstanding need of the Negro race is a larger capacity for cooperative endeavor, "for it is only through the blended energies of men that the great things of the world are accomplished." If the Negroes had developed a civilization they would have developed social capacities. Now they must be introduced into a civilization created by another race, and this can only be done through training. "A race living within a civilization by the side of a race that wrought out that civilization cannot afford to limit its efforts at education to the things provided by the other race for its own self, for the newcomer must in some way make up for the intervening development." Our civilization having been evolved through the ages and handed down from generation to generation through a continuous evolution of ideas, is difficult to assimilate by an alien race, and the latter requires a special training if it is to adapt itself to the standard and requirements of that civilization. "Deeper processes of education would not be amiss," says Dr. Griggs. For a race to take on the outer forms of an alien civilization without gripping what underlies it is of little value, Halit, which is peopled by Negroes, borrowed from the United States its republican form of government, but its attempt at a republican form of government is a failure. As a fact, the chief progress of society has been made by concerted action. Herbert Spencer truly said, "Co-operation is at once that which cannot exist without society and that for which society exists." Since the supreme mission of mankind is to develop social efficiency, a race that is weak in its capacity for social service is weak at the most vital point in its existence. It is in the matter of its capacity for collective action that the Negro race has been weakest. After thousands of years of possession of Africa the Negroes have lost all except a very small portion. After all, government is purely a co-operative task and can be successfully carried out only by races which possess social qualities. Dr. Griggs concludes that civic education should enter strongly in the training of Negroes in the colored schools. Dr. Griggs says that it is recognized among the Negroes of America that "they cannot stick together." In a certain southern state out of fourteen Negro banks established thirteen have collapsed, and he enumerates similar notable failures in other lines of organization work, all due to this incapacity for organization inherent in the race--this social inefficiency. TERMS USED IN FEEDING Bolentifice Nomenclature Reduced to Every-Day Meanings. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Stockfood consists briefly of three chief parts or compounds, omitting the water and minerals. They are: Protein (containing nitrogen), a muscle former. Fat (not containing nitrogen), a fuel or fattening substance. Carbohydrates (meaning made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen). These three substances are called organic matter, because they will burn. Mineral matter is called inorganic. An animal can live on protein alone, but would not under normal conditions, because protein (or albumen) is only found mixed with fat in the case of meat and with fat and carbohydrates in the case of plants and cereals. Familiar examples of protein are white of egg, lean meat and the gluten which can be chewed out of wheat. Fat or oil we all know. Carbohydrates include sugar, starch, cellulose, fibre, gums, etc. To keep alive and not lose weight an animal must have small amounts of protein and larger amounts of fat or carbohydrates. They serve as building material to replace worn-out tissue and flesh and also to furnish power (energy) to move, work, and do all the inside work of the body. The ash or mineral matter furnishes bone material and is also necessary but abundant in nature. A growing animal needs plenty of protein and ash (bone food) and of carbohydrates and fat. A grown-up animal needs less of either the first two, but plenty of the last two. A pregnant animal needs plenty of food for its unborn young. BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS Difficult to Buy Proper Feed Stuffs at Random. [National Crop Improvement Service.] There are not a dozen food stores in the country that carry in stock all the ingredients of a first-class mixed feed at all times and at reasonable prices, and usually they do not carry feeds of the same high quality used by the mixers who work scientifically through a laboratory. This is humar nature. Competition compels a dealer to sell the cheapest quality. The best quality of feed is seldom carried, because the average buyer will not pay the highest price. A good many experiment stations in a general way will advocate that a farmer mix all his own feed, but they are human like the rest of us and they will use recognized brands in their own feeding operations rather than go to the trouble and take the time to follow their own advice. There are a good many herds at experiment stations which are kept as sort of a clinic for professors to practice theories upon. The poor brutes are used a good deal as guinea pigs in hospital practice. On the other hand, at the experiment stations are to be found many of the finest animals ever bred. The mixed feeds of the first grade can be fed alone or in connection with home-grown corn, oats or barley. To do this widens your ration, and it is correct to do so if it will reduce your cost of feeding. Mixed feeds, therefore, are largely a matter of arithmetic. You can usually get the result for less money than by feeding more expensive grains separately. THE MANURIAL INGREDIENTS OF FEEDS. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Nitrogen is the most important and most valuable fertilizing element supplied by feeds, and it is in this element that they show the greatest variation. The Connecticut Experiment Station states that it was found that the average mixed fertilizer contained 3.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in a table that eighteen of fifty-two different feeds contained 3.93 per cent. Among this list is cottonseed and linseed meals, gluten seed, middlings, brewers' and distillers' products, and a few of the feed mixtures. It is obvious, therefore, that a wise selection of feeds enhances the value of the manure and consequently plays an important part in farm economy. BARLEY PRODUCTS. Prof. J. P. Street, in the Annual Report of the Connecticut Agricultural Station for 1912, says: "That malt sprouts should receive more consideration from dairymen, especially in comparison with many of the proprietary mixed feeds containing only from one-third to one-half as much protein as malt sprouts, prices being considered." He also states that dried brewers' grains, prices considered, in connection with the feed's high analysis, is one of the cheapest high-grade feeds on the market. WHAT'S IN A MIXED FEED? A high-grade mixed feed suitable for any kind or breed of dairy cow should have high protein content, with an exact digestible analysis. It can be mixed with corn, oats, barley, hay or other forage, which should be grown upon the farm, provided the mixture would save the farmer any money. As a rule, the ingredients of the highest grades are corn, distillers' grains, gluten feed, cottonseed meal, hominy meal, malt sprouts, brewers' grains, linseed meal, pure wheat bran and salt. The best grades contain no cheap fillers of any kind and so the feed is highly concentrated and recharge can be supplied at home. LEADER IN MANY GOOD MOVEMENTS Success of Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin at Washington. MAN OF WIDE EXPERIENCE How the Mount Carmel Baptist Church Is Prospering Under the Able Leadership of Its Energetic Pastor—All Departments Close the Fiscal Year With a Cash Balance. By N. BARNETT DOBSON. It was Paul Laurence Dunbar who said, "To have achieved something for the betterment of his race rather than the aggrandizement of himself seems to be a man's best claim to be called representative and a leader." Few men have merited such distinction, and fewer still have lived to receive their just reward, for true genius is seldom rewarded in its day. Doubt, suspicion, prison and often death have been the fate of most men who have labored and done most for the betterment of mankind. But as the wind of time dispels the clouds of slavish tradition and custom their true worth shines forth as a beacon light and all men sing paeans of their greatness. The above applies to the efforts and achievements of the Rev. William H. Jernagin, D. D., pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist church at Washington, in the most concrete manner. Before accepting the call of the above named church a few years ago Dr. Jernagin had won his spurs as a successful pastor and leader among our people in the far south and southwest. Dr. Jernagin is the moderator of the General Baptist Association of the Dis- [Name] REV. W. H. JERNAGIN, D. D. trict of Columbia and vicinity, treasurer of the national B. Y. P. U. board, one of the vice presidents of the national Baptist convention and chapain of the National Supreme Order of Helpers. He returned from Atlanta, Ga., on Tuesday, June 12, where he had been attending the Sunday school congress and the B. Y. P. U. convention, in which he took a leading part. As moderator of the General Baptist association he has succeeded in securing the hearty co-operation of the members in every important movement which has for its object the advancement of denominational interests in Washington. Because of his able advocacy of equal rights under the law for the colored people as citizens of the United States Dr. Jernagin was elected president of the national race congress which was held in Washington in October, 1916. He was leader of a recent delegation which conferred with the secretaries of the war and navy departments with reference to granting young colored men an opportunity to be trained for official rank in the new federal army. Under Dr. Jernagin's administration the Mount Carmel Baptist church has taken its place among the foremost churches in Washington. He has secured a new place of worship for his congregation, greatly increased the membership and has put the church in splendid financial condition. The annual report of the board of trustees shows receipts amounting to $8,492.32, with a balance to the credit of the church and its auxiliaries of $111.69. The increase in the membership during the year was 102. Since the report was made thirty-four candidates for baptism have been enrolled. The Sunday school, Missionary and Young People's union are in fine working condition, each showing a cash balance at the end of the year. From April 30 to May 11 Dr. Jernagin was associated with the Rev. Dr. R. C. Judkins, pastor of the Salem Baptist church, in Jersey City, N. J., in the conduct of a spring revival, which added to the Salem church about forty new members. In making use of the texts Mark 1, 15; Acts vv. 29-31; Romans x, 9, 10, and Acts ii, 38-47, he proved himself to be a most effective and experienced gospel preacher. Dr. Jernagin and delegates from his church, Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are attending the New England convention at Boston from June 12 to 18. Inclusive. BISHOP WALTERS' POLITICAL WORK Why Late Noted Divine Changed His Allegiance. WAS MAN OF LIBERAL VIEWS Conditions Which Caused Advocacy of Division of Colored Citizens—Vote Between the Two Leading Political Parties—Judge Hudspeth's High Estimation of Bishop Walters as Leader. By WILLIAM L. OFFORD, LL. B. The political history of the Negro in this country from the days preceding the reconstruction period to the present presents some very brilliant and noble characters, both laymen and churchmen, who severally attained various degrees of prominence as leaders. But it was for but few to attain national recognition and fame as did the late Bishop Alexander Walters. The bishop's education was received, with the exception of a year or so in P. THE LATE BISHOP WALTERS. the public schools of his town, under the private tutelage of some of the most brilliant and able teachers of the country, which training was supplemented by extensive travel in this country as well as the continents of Europe and Africa. The books of his fine library bear evidence that he was on the best of terms with them and that they were not merely ornaments. Bishop Walters was a keen observer of the change of the political status of the Negro in recent years and viewed with apprehension the gradual elimination of the Negro from politics both north and south, not only by the Democrats, but by the party of Lincoln and Grant. He saw that the Republican party was looking on with indifference while the Negro was being stripped of his constitutional privileges and immunities. Seeing these conditions, he took counsel of other men of the race, who also viewed with alarm the drift of affairs, and they held a consultation over the politically prostrate body of the Negro, and they decided that the malady from which he was suffering was an overgrowth of allegiance to the Republican party, and the only cure was a division of the black vote. This presented a hard problem, but the Negro, having been deserved by the party he had slavishly served, it was expedient that he form other friendly ties. At this time a friendly hand was extended by some right thinking Democrats, and the support of the colored voters was solicited. Bishop Walters at once became the leader of the colored Democrats of the country. The following letter from former Judge R. S. Hudspeth, national Democratic committeeman for New Jersey, to Mrs. Walters upon the death of the bishop shows the high esteem in which the late Bishop Walters was held by prominent and influential men of the Democratic party: Jersey City, N. J. Feb. 10, 1917. My Dear Mrs. Walters—I fully expected to have attended the bishop's funeral and pay my tribute of respect and affection for him, but official duties engaged me, and I was prevented. I was dreadfully shouted when I heard of his death, aloud. It was not expected he suffered from promising little hope of recovery, yet I wished so earnestly for his return to health. The bishop was a splendid type of a man. His qualities of mind and heart endeared him to all of those who had the privilege of knowing him, and I fortunately was one of them. He was human in his ideas and impulses. He was always pleading for those who needed help, going out of his way to sequestrate his life. He was a personal sacrifice to obtain some benefit for the one in whose cause he was interested. In his religious faith he was as simple as a child, that simplicity which was never disturbed by doubt or lack of faith. It was a pleasure and inspiration for me to listen to him talk, as I always left him with the feeling that I had been benefited by his words and the sincerity of his faith, not only in his Maker, but in his life. I was very much better if we had more men like the bishop. Your race lost a great leader and an inspiring figure when he died. I feel sure that next to the love of his God was his love for his people and that his highest purpose in life was to secure for them the place and recognition in social life which he believed they were fitted to occupy. I want to express to you and your family my sincere sympathy in this the hour of our bereavement. I am, very sincerely yours. R. S. HUDSPETH. P. S.

ENCOURAGE RACE ARTISTS Let Poets and Musicians Know Their Efforts Are Appreciated. New York.—Mrs. Minnie Wille French, the talented daughter of the late John R. Waller, sometime United States consul at Madagascar, has written a clever little sketch, musical and literary, entitled "A Meeting of the Young People's Improvement League, the object being to popularize the musical and literary productions of Negro composers and authors. At the invitation of Ye Friends of Shakespeare Mrs French and her company of clever young ladies appeared before that or organization in its hall in the Lafayette building, New York city, recently and presented the sketch to the infinite delight of a large and appreciative gathering of the society and its friends. The novelty of the program rendered the high character of the number given by each participant and the excellence of its rendition evoked the highest commendation from the audience, and the society critic, Egbert Figaro, praised the ladies taking part in it, saying that he had been made prouder than ever of being identified with the race in being permitted to listen to a program of such excellence and rendered by members of the race in such a creditable and thoroughly interesting manner. Mrs. French is a popular New York vocalist and possesses a voice of unusual purity and sweetness. Following is the sketch given under her able direction. Doubless Negro literary societies, churches and Sabbath schools will see in this program a suggestion worth considering in future. Instead of using poems, prose and musical selections of white authors, they will select the best productions from the pens of Negro authors and thus inspire the younger generation to aspire and at the same time be teaching the masses what the race has accomplished along these lines. The sketch is staged to represent a meeting of the Young People's Improvement league. The meeting is held in the home of one of its members. Characters—President, Mrs. Mays; secretary, Miss Best; pianist, M. Walter French; hostess, Mrs. Snowden. Scene—Sitting room of hostess at whose home the league is holding its weekly meeting. Musical numbers—"The Negro Hymn" (chorus), Handy; "Dreamland," Burleigh; "If I Forget," DeKoven Thompson; "Who Knows" Dunbar; "Devotion," J. E. Bruce; "Since You Want Away," J. Rosemond Johnson; "Do Little Pickaninny's Gone to Sleep," Johnson; "I Think of Thee." Handy; Ode to Harriet Tubman (chorus), M. Wallet French; "Only a Dream of That Beautiful City," Kelley; Rio Grand Waltz; Essosina Lina; numbers—Sketches from the pen of John E. Bruce (Bruce Grit) from the "Negro's Place In Music History." A short sketch of the life of S. Coleridge Taylor and honorary mention of the accomplishments of the late Harriet Tubman. Closing chorus-"Good Night," juvenile choir. Major Wright as Leader at Savannah Major R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State college at Savannah, was the chief promoter of the recent movement which has for its object the conservation of food supplies among the colored people of that section of Georgia. He also advocates fair treatment of the race as to wages and school facilities. President Wright was a major in the Spanish-American war. Negroes registered like good Americans. Enough said. OPTIMISM THE WATCHWORD Living Conditions In Lawrenoville Improved by Contact With Progressive Virginia Institution—Heme Life Elevated and the Material Welfare of the People Advanced. BY WILLIAM ANTHONY ABRY. Lawrenceville, Va.—The recent commencement of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school in this town, of which Archdeacon James S. Russell is the principal, included a baccalaureate sermon by the Rev. John T. Ogburn, Youngstown, O.; special Y. M. C. A and Y. W. C. A, program, confirmation and close of literary societies, oratorical contest, parish school entertainment, "Crowning the May Queen;" class day exercises, commencement program, including student addresses on "Discipline of Life and Character," "Bonding," "Vocational Training a Necessity," "The Model Tailor Shop" and "Advantages of an Education," and an alumni reunion. Bishop B. D. Tucker of Lynchburg, Va., vice president of the board of trustees, awarded diplomas to sixteen seniors and certificates to three in blacksmithing, two in carpentry, seven in dressmaking, one in engineering, one in harness making, two in masonry and five in tailoring. Two graduates—Mrs. Sarah E. Wilkins, '94, and Rev. John T. Ogburn, '04—told the story of St. Paul's influence for good on their lives. Both expressed warm appreciation of the life and work of Archdeacon Russell. Robert B. Tunstall, a white lawyer of Norfolk, who is a St. Paul trustee, spoke on "The Idea of Self Respect." His parting words were, "Go out with the determination to do with all your might whatever you find you can do." Charles G. Maphis, professor of secondary education in the University of Virginia, declared that "St. Paul school is fulfilling the modern conception of a twenteth century education." Dr. Maphis discussed the questions which are now being put to men: "What do you know? What can you do? What kind of character have you?" To the St. Paul commencement, which was held out of doors in the evening, there came from far and near many friends of Archdeacon Russell, including many leading white men and women. Through a long but interesting program some 1,500 men, women and children listened with attention and enthusiasm to the helpful addresses. There was on every hand the demonstration of racial good will. Not a single note of pessimism was heard. Everybody was ready and willing to re-dedicate life anew to the service of God and country. The industrial exhibit was attractively arranged and showed that the Negroes of Brunswick county, Va., are alive to the possibilities of securing from Mother Earth an abundant share of fruits and vegetables and staples, such as wheat, corn, rye and oats. The well made garments and nicely cooked foods were the finest proofs that St. Paul school believes in helping girls to become good homemakers. The boys have their opportunity too. Fine specimens of work in wood, iron and leather, together with good coats, vests and trousers, demonstrated the value of helping boys to use their hands with skill. Principal Russell in his annual report to the trustees of the school in part said: "The past year, which closes the twenty-ninth year of the school, has been one of progress and advancement despite the disturbing conditions created by the world war and the rise in price of commodities and supplies of all kinds. It has been hard work to keep things going this year; but, thanks be to him who has been our help and strong tower and the loyalty of the school's friends, the school has been enabled to pull through. Looking back through years—years of toll, privation, sacrifice and work, yet full of the joy of service and endeavor for God and humanity—we cannot but return thanks to him who has brought us thus far. Twenty-nine years have witnessed great—in fact, revolutionary—changes in the people whom the school serves. Living conditions have improved, concepts of religion purified, home life has been elevated, illiteracy reduced, material prosperity advanced and a marked change from tenancy to ownership. The policy of the school from its inception has been one of preparedness. A Christian training, coupled with a good practical English education and a trade of some kind, is the life preparation that the school insists that each boy or girl who comes to it shall have in order to enable them to return to their communities and become good citizens and useful members of society. "Scattered through more than a score of states of the Union, in our insular possessions, Hafti and even far off Africa, our students are holding up the banner of St. Paul's and endeavoring by lives of service and sacrifice to carry out and exemplify in their own communities the teachings and principles they have learned at St. Paul's. Through them the school is doing its 'bit' in the elevation and Christian training of the Negro race." THE TWIN CITY STAR TIMELY COUNSEL FOR GRADUATES Hampton Students Told How to Serve Their Country. HIGHEST IDEALS ADVOCATED In Stirring Address Isaac Fisher Tells What Is Really Needed if Democracy is to Live and Spread Its Spirit Throughout the World For the Good of Mankind. By WILLIAM ANTHONY AERY. Hampton, Va. — Hampton institute has just sent forth ninety-four vocationally trained graduates to carry the message of "education for service" to colored, Indian and white people throughout the nation. Principal H. B. Frissell, in presenting the diplomas and certificates, in part said: "We give you these diplomas as a very slight evidence of the confidence we have that in the days to come you will be true to Hampton, true to your country, true to your God." Dr. Frissell referred to the school's recent memorial service at the grave of General Armstrong, where all had consecrated themselves anew to the service of their country. "You have caught the vision of the kingdom which is to come," he said—"the better world which Christ has made possible through you; and now, today, you go forth to bear the great message—the message of love to all mankind. Your eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. You have seen great nations turning from the selfish rule of autocracy to the blessed and better rule of democracy, and you, too, are going to help this nation to understand what real democracy means. You are going forth to serve this great country." Isaac Fisher, university editor, Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., in his address on "The Rebirth of the World After the War," in part said: "When this cruel war is over the task before mankind will be to rebuild the world—to rebuild its wasted cities and to repair so far as possible the staggering economic loss which the great struggle has entailed. This will not, however, be of major importance by the side of the real task. The reconstruction to which this world war points with imperative hand is the rebuilding of the hearts and spirits of men. When the world takes up the new work, which it must do after the war, the new teachings of home and school and church and press must be not dominion, not power, not force, not arrogance, not racial proscriptions, but the virtue and conquering value of the humble and contrite heart filled with love for all and the meekness which shall inherit the earth. * * * "You can help make it easier for democracy by seeking to come into the possession of common ideals—the highest ideals of the nation, those ideals which represent Christ. You can help make it easy by learning the beautiful things that have helped make civilisation grand and glorious through the years and by making those ideals your own—not ideals of colored people, not ideals of red men, not ideals of white men, but the ideals of Christianity. What are some of those ideals? First of all there is righteousness. You can make it easy by standing for the kind of service that makes the good of all the people the highest aim of life. "If this war is to prove anything it is that men may not hereafter think in terms of race. White people cannot think any more, after this great world tragedy is over, in terms of the white race. The black race cannot think any more in terms of their own little social group. To everybody watching on the far fung battle lines of Europe almost all of the artificial distinctions of caste and race have been obliterated. The lesson which burns itself into the consciousness of people is that men hereafter shall live for the one common good. "We must insist that schools like Hampton, where the Negro sees the white people at their best and where a common meeting ground is established for all the races, shall be maintained for years and years to come. "I want Tuskegee to remain forever as Dr. Washington built it—manned and conducted by colored men and women and a monument to their ability and genius; but I want Hampton and schools like it to endure as open pathways to mutual understanding and mutual help. "See to it that schools of the Hampton type remain forever, where we can get together and understand each other in the only understanding that is going to make peace possible throughout the length and breadth of this land." The student speakers included Edward B. Robinson, Glasgow, Ky., history; John H. Hill, Yazoo City, Miss, poem; Leota F. Cotton, Mount Holly, N. J., will; Thomas J. Potter, Millwood, Va., prophecy; Richard H. Bland, Suffolk, Va., free speech; Blanche E. Brown, Providence, R. I., salutatory; Solomon A. Davis, Norfolk, Va., valleictory, "Modern Progress."

Brewington, Salisbury, Md. --- 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 lapace 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? Remember Whate'er thy race or speech thou art the same. Before thy eyes duty, a constant flame Shines always steadfast with unchanging light Through dark days and through bright. Send One Dollar to the undersigned and join in this great work. Sec'y R. A. Skinner, 2817 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis. 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 pbx, we have not yet learned the method of preventing the spread of the begging spirit. — The Bulletin—Associated Charities of Minneapolis. A lie is always the cause of trouble and oftimes brings about serious results. Misrepresentations on the part of husband or wife will sooner or later cause a breach in their domestic relations. Many men, whose fraternal emblems signify that they are "on the square" and they will "defend the truth" will conspire to pull a crooked deal and protect a lie, especially when a woman is the victim. A woman should know something about her husband's affairs, and her motives cannot be considered entirely selfish or mercenary. A real adjustment will do much to prevent a family quarrel or a murder. 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.
