woke Order for Clearing Site

By w. w. Jermane, Colorado Build
4 ing, Washington, D. c.
Washington, May 31.-Indications
today are that Secretary McVeagh will
revoke the order for clearing the site
for the Minneapolis postoffice, which
is to commence the middle of this
month, pending the, opening Of bids
for the building on June 81, when
further consideration will be given to
the question of a change Of design or
site. If the department decides to do
nothing further than open bids, legis-
lation looking to change Of the site
can be initiated in the short session
next winter.
1t is possible that the treasury de-
partment will decide what is to be
done in the Minneapolis postoffice
matter late today. Assistant Secre-
tary Hilles said that he had been try
ing to get at Secretary McVeagh for
the past two days regarding depart
mental matters, and that the Mime
apolis case was the first one on his
list.

INGRATITUDE.

Do not speak of mans present
worth to a community, organization
or race, for what he is regardless Of
his past, especially when at the end
of his days of service, so far as that
service to his critics is concerned,
who are ignorant Of what has been
done by those whom you seek to de-
fame. and who has bill against you
for services rendered. This applies
to the defamers of Mr.. Adams. of the
Appeal, and he is not to be criticized
through these columns. He deserves
success for his efforts. He is q pio-
neer, and he is respected abroad as
such. The appeal has been giving
voice to the sentiment, oppression,
ETC., in Southland, when it was a pow
er. He is one of our veterans; and
you need not support the Star IL you
expect to hear abuse Of the Appeal.
He is in line, and we are to enter,
profiting by the examples Of many
(personaD who have gone down be-
fore, and to give respect to age, ad-
miration for effort, consideration for
conditions, and honorsto the man-Mr.
J. o. Adams. the venerable editor of
the st. Paul Appeal.
Celebrate, and Re. Celebrate.
Any friction will be detrimental to
our race, and it is the cause Of our
present condition. Such narrow hui
mans as those who will attempt to
gain goodwill by that Great Long
Felt-Need Story" will be our first fail
ures to come across"
A foundation on conceit, greed or
ignorance, will not support a build
ing Of purity, charity and wisdom
placed there by the scandal-mongers
and mud-slingers.
The Star will live on this princi-
pie. If not, die the death Of the
young foundlings, as 1t were, the
the Twin, but we have lived long
enough to do this. The good people
will proceed for their own sake, and
we coincide with Mr.. Lyles. Do they
want a white newspaper to announce
this? Oh, no!
