OUR PROSPECTUS.

Realizing that in the Twin Cities,
and among the Northwestern parts Of
the United States, there is a need of
information and correspondence
through the press, We have attempted
to make an effort to interest the me-
groes Of that section, and toward that
end we have endeavored to present a
clean, newsy, racial newspaper. 1t
has appeared before you unheralded
and subject to your comment, only
with desire to give to the readers Of
these parts a chance to approve or
condemn; and our plans have been
of short duration, placing confidence
in the belief that you would receive
us favorably and allow us a fair
chance ito do or die" This paper
will be managed along new lines by
novices. We hold no claim to jour-
nalism, but profess to show you, if we
receive any recognition of your ap-
prevail, that this paper will voice the
sentiments Of the Northwest, making
no excuses for its defects, or any apol-
ogies for our holiness. We intend to
show you that you need us, and we
will supply the demand. Our idea as
to newspapers among our people is to
start on plan to produce a circula-
ton, which will place you in touch
with news direct from the different
parts Of the border cities. We hope
by the, next issue to be on a basis to
determine our procedure. But owing
to a hasty effort on our part rather
than delay on account of ours, we beg
your indulgence and hope to proceed.
Deciding on this issue after our
enumeration" was ended we rushed"
in and contracted to do, and we are
forced to admit that the hardness of
the correspondence has caused us to
delay issue and to break our promise,
but we are willing to delay on account
of wishing to report the final social
happenings Of the week and to allow
us to arrange for subscription and
mailing. We are alone and no aid
was brought forward. If we wanted
news we went after it. Have re-
ceived up to this time one commune
cation Of the few which were sent out.
1t shall be held as a token of re-
spect" we are able to give you.-Eds.
The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1910-06-02

Knowing that there are better
chances for new operations" each in
coming day, we attempt this venture,
and If "a leap in the dark" we hope to
fall SOFTLY.
We have begun with no assistance
other than our own effort and deter
mination, as financial help was mot
coming forthwith" So the Star
rises out of darkest clouds, and we
hope to "shine on" We acknowledge
no obligations to any personal in
dividual," party or class, and shall en-
ter our field under the rights of "the
simple plan," as our older contempor-
aries have done.
Simply appealing to your needs in
the way Of news, in sense Of duty,
considering that the territory in this
vicinity Is uncovered. So we invite
comment and expect much criticism,
and demand to be given a right to
stand on our merits. We are in on
the ground floor, and may fall to the
cellar. While we cannot receive any
advertising support on our issue on
account of former money getters,"
we shall Deliver the Goods" and
you do the rest. If you do not sup
port this, 1t will not drag along to
annoy you or be subject to continual
criticism. It will stop, because we
are unable to continue, and we will
go on record as having done our part,
and we have lost nothing, but done
that which every man should do, con-
tribute something to the advancement
Of humanity, regardless Of class or
creed, and he has gained a named.

AUTHOR OF CITIZENSHIP

On April 4, Judge George H. Will
liams. the author of the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution died
in Portland Oregon. Throughout a
career beginning in the middle of the
last century he had been the firm
and unwavering friend of the black
man. But these words of the Amend
ment will forever stand not only as
the enduring monument, to his name
and that friendship. but the greatest
constitutional bulwark of the Negroes
citizenship.
The right of citizens of the y
United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or any state on account of
race, color or previous condition
of servitude.
Judge Williams not only prepared
this text Of the Amendment but was
a potent factor as a United States
Senator from Oregon and a command
ing Western political figure in secur-
ing its adoption in 1870. But at an
earlier day in the stirring struggle in
1859 which brought Oregon in as a
state, the mettle Of Judge Williams
was tried and rang true. Though a
Democrat at that time and though
large number of Democrats in the
Oregon constitutional convention adj
vocated its admission as a slave state,
Judge Williams with firm eloquence
and irresistible logic swayed Oregon
to the cause Of freedom and justice.
Subsequently as United States Sena-
tor from Oregon, Acknowledgement
under President Grant, Mayor and firm
citizen of Portland, he continued his
high and invaluable service to the
freedom and uplift of the Negro. He
was indeed "The Grand Old Man of
Oregon" f..

SEPARATE Y. M. C. AS.

The st. Paul Appeal, of May 81,
says of the Afro-Americans:
There may be some excuse for the
separate Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION in the South, where the line
between the races is distinctly drawn,
but in the North there is no justifica-
ton for their existence.
The Afro-Americans who are urging
the establishment Of separate Y. M.
C. AS are making grave mistake.
They should consider the question
from every angle before using their
influence in favor of a movement
which will be far-reaching in its eff
fects and may come back sometime in
the shape of discriminating and re-
pressive laws and finally in the with
drawal Of all civil and political rights
from the race.
There are in the United States a
few individuals who have proved
themselves to be true Christians, but
the alleged Caucasion Christian
Church in this country justified slav-
cry and has never taken a decided
stand for the rights of men.
The Y. M. c. A. people in many
Northern communities are endeavor-
ing to segregate the Afro-American,
thus proving that in one respect the
association is not Christian organ
ization.
If Afro-Americans think that an or
ganization similar to the Y. M. G. A.
is needed in any particular commun-
ity, they should form one and call 1t
by some other name. Under no cir
cumstances should they have any
connection with the Central Y. M. G.
A., which as a rule in cities where
there are colored branches, admits to
the central organization members
from all branches except the colored
branch. To become a branch Of an
organization which discriminates is
to admit inferiority.

AN "EXTRACT" FROM THE
TORONTO STAR.
FROM THE SOUTHLAND.

A book of piano sketches with the
above title, composed by H. T. Bur-
leigh, has been published by the Will
liam Maxwell Music Co., Of New
York, and copy of the same has been
forwarded to me by the Whaley Royce
Co., the local agents. The composer,
who was pupil of Dvorak, is of
negro blood, and he has dedicated his
work to his friend and fellow Anglo
African, Mr.. s. Coleridge Taylor,
known the world over for his won
derful setting Of Longfellow's lila
watha," from which excerpts have
been given at different times by our
local choral societies. Mr.. Burleigh
was one Of the experts upon negro
melodies who supplied Dvorak with
some of his themes for the New
World" Symphony, and he was the
copyist who extracted" the orchestral
parts from the full score for the first
performance of the famous symphony
when it was produced in Brooklyn.
The piano sketches, From the
Southland" may in a certain sense
be regarded as a remarkable human
document, for they reflect with nota-
BILE fidelity the dominant character
istics of the negro race. In "The
Frolic" and "A Jubilee" much of the
gaiety and native cheerfulness Of this
people find expression; their love OF
the mysterious and their supersti-
tious reverence for it are well de-
picted in such numbers as Through
Moanin' Pines" and I'm de Col Moon
light; while their emotionalism and
religious ecstasy are aptly portrayed
in the two numbers ION Bonded
Knees" and "A New Hidin' Place"
The harmonic texture of all of these
numbers is distinctly unhackneyed
and often assumes the picturesque.
In the brighter numbers the syncopat-
ed rhythm Indigenous to the negro
musical mind is largely employed, but
the remarkable harmonic coloring
prevents it from degenerating into
mere vulgar ragtime. Some of the
old religious melodies Of the colored
people are incorporated with striking
effect. The novelty and the magma
tive style of these sketches are suf-
icient to commend them to all piano
students and teachers.
Comment.
A very credible comment to our
eminent composer, who has followed
a theory, and his higher achieve
ments," are demonstrative to produce
greater results; also so much more
commendable to US, when we realize
its source in the fullest extent. We
thank the Star. Such immortals as
Longfellow, Dvorak, Coleridge, Tay-
Tor and Burleigh, form "coterie''
which places negro, as far out from
the "caste" of such Hefllins. Tillmans,
Vardamans, as the sweetness of the
strains which arise from the melodies
produced by its people in a land pol
luted by their personal putridity. and
they are the exceptions.
