Have you learned the meaning Of the
mystic letters? It's the ''Clean City
Club. y The Woman's Club has begun
it, and they ask the help Of every man,
woman and child in the city of Oakes.
They think that Cakes is a fine little
city, but they would like to see it inn
proved. What are you doing about it?
Are there papers flying loose in your
yard, Of your 'neighborhood, on your
vacant lot? Some have tried to clean
up, but the next thing we would notice
would be the raft Of papers blowing in
from the neighbors. In q few days the
tournament will be open and Oakes will
be the center Of North Dakota. Let's
clean up! Go to Young's drug store
and ask Miss Maude Tyrrell to let you
sign the Clean City Club pledge and
she will give you badge. # you
don't do that, clean up anyway. Get
rid Of your ash pile and the old tin
cans. Get out your lawn mower. Plant
some flowers and vines. Clean up!

THE A. @. u. W.
RAND LODGE
Biennial Session Held at Fargo
Last Week
Important Changes Made in the Laws and More
In Competition with Old Line Companies,
Ed. N. Lsiby at Head Of Grand Lodge

The grand lodge, A. q. U. W., which
adjourned at Fargo last Wednesday,
was both interesting and profitable to
all who attended. Several changes
were suggested in the laws of the
order, among which were: That the
age limit for admission be in
creased from 45 to IS years Of age;
that the maximum amount of certifi-
Gates be increased from s., 200 to IS, 900;
that provision be made for the issuance
of ten, fifteen and twenty year certif-
Gates. The laws of the state also re-
quires that the grand lodge be incor-
porated, and action was taken to that
end.
The subject which elected the most
attention during the session was the
adoption Of the report of the finance
committee. The committee, to whom
was referred that portion Of the printed
reports, brought in a rather caustic
narration, rejecting on the, work of
the advisory board. Chief among the
items was the expense of the extension
work, wherein they showed that each
new member through the deputy
system was costing the grand lodge
over $40. J. W. Mcmahon, Of Hope,
and E. Smith Peterson, Of Park
River, led the debate for the committee
and so well did they argue the point
that when the motion to indefinitely
postpone that part Of the report was
made the lodge voted AZ for. and IS
against.
The officers elected for the ensuing
two years were:
P. G. M. Wa. ]. MeFadden,
6. NJ. We'd. N. Leiby, Ellendale.
G. F.-John Carmody, Hillsboro.
G. O.-John cCarthy, Milton.

May IS, 1907.
Editor Bee
In my opinion the Juvenile Court con-
stitutes one of the greatest blessings to
society, in that it is a benehcent agency
in the reclamation of our wayward boys
and girls My experience as an attend
ance officer of the public schools renders
It necessary 10 make frequent visits to
the Juvenile Court. The patience. uni
form kindness and Christian influences
of the lady probation officer. Mrs. NJ
B. Darwin, have the effect to soften the
temperament Of the children and instill
in them new hope and a determination
to lead more exemplary lives. Another
adjunct to the successful administration
of this court may be found in the eff
cient services of Mr.. Copp, the other
probation officer.
1t IS hardly necessary to refer to
Judge Delacy, the able, just and con-
siderate gentleman, and upright Judge,
whose administration has been marked
by large-heartedness, and a warm solic-
itude touching the betterment Of all who
appear before him. His methods of dis
posing of cases brought before him are
dictated by consideration, best calculated
to instill in the children, the adoption Of
those ideals which are productive Of the
noblest type of manhood and woman
hood. This court directed by Judge De
lacy IS indeed a blessing to the commu-
nifty. For here We get justice.

FOILED.

Lynchburg, Va, May I3-Miss Bert
Caruthers, a young woman of about
twenty-one years, living with her parents
near the Virginia Christian College in
the West End, was the victim of an at
tempted assault Saturday night by a
white man. She made a plucky fight,
and after being dragged considerable dis
tance managed to frighten him off by
arousing the residents about the college
by her screams. Miss Caruthers had
her shirt waist almost torn from her.
and she has scratches and bruises about
her face, throat and wrists. She return
ed from a visit to a neighbor's home
about 1890 o'clock, and as She started
to enter the front door of her home the
man came out Of a window onto the
veranda and attacked her This is said
to be the third attack of this nature
made upon Miss Caruthers in the last
year, but the former cases were hushed
up in the dread of publicity. and as far
as IS known the attack Saturday night
has not been reported to the police, de-
spite the fact that she stated last night
to friends that she thought she knew the
man.

have no fear Of spending their money to
succeed. At the time this membership

I'm CROWISM'

1t is surprising to see the intelli-
gent and elevated colored man sub
scribe to the doctrine of Jim Crow
ism. This doctrine has found its
way in the homes Of those who are
able and competent to teach the ig-
norant masses to repudiate this doc
.-ine Of Jim CrOwism. What does
all this mean? So-called Christians
have inaugurated a system of Jim
Crowism in their churches, the W.
c. T. L. has suggested separate
temperance organization for color
ed abstainers. Next and last IS the
Colored Young Mems Christian
Association. This is the most in
consistent of all Jim Crowism.
Here IS a colored Young Mems
Christian Association whose mem
berS are serving the same God, re-
peatng the same prayer and if any
of the members die, the undOubt-
edly go the same way because there
is no evidence that has been intro
due that shows to the contrary. In
the capital of a great nation, where
education, science and religion are
so prevalent. educated colored and
cultured colored men have openly
subscribed to Jim Crowism by Civ
ing aid and comfort to a separate
and distinct institution. These men
are told that they may have a sep
arate place of worship but this
place must be supervised by white
men who belong to another asso-
citation where cOlOred Christians
are not permitted to go. The Bee
wishes to ask these intelligent, cul-
tured and educated colored men
what the status of the COlored
Americans will be fifty years from
now. The race will be placarded
upon every street corner as a i'm
Crow race, a race that subscribed
isolation and separation; a race
that admitted its inferiority by self
admissions. If the colored people
continue to subscribe to this doc
trine of separation what will be the
future of the coming generation? ?
Is this not bad example to set
for the children in coming ages?
When the offspring of coming gen
erahOns come into existence they
will find themselves separated from
this so-called Christian religion
which is becoming a mOCkery
among many of the sO-called white
Christian churches. But who will
be responsible for this condition?
Why the colored people of this
generation who now subscribe to
this heinouS doctrine. The Bee
makes the suggestion to this gener-
alton to repudiate these separate
institutions. If the black man is
not good enough to worship with
the white man he should not be an
annex to his place of worship.
Have the colored men connected
with the colored Young Mems
Christian Association thought of

lowed those who have supported the
church If Attorney Jones Is not
good Christian It has been the fault Of
the church, because he has had enough
Christianity instilled and driven into him
to intoNicate the lower regions. The
last and latest move that the wirey at
torney has inaugurated IS the organiza-
ton of a club of two hundred members
that has taxed itself so much a member
to meet the puechase price Of the church
parsonage. The money collected by the
club viii be banked to meet quarterly
notes when they come due. The church
proper IS then relieved of a burden and
anxiety. 1t IS gratifying to see these
good Christians and church people work
It IS more than gratifying to see Their
