Or. Washington Issues Annual Appeal
For Christmas Contributions.
In keeping with long established
custom Of sending out a general appeal
to the public for Christmas tokens for
children In the rural districts Of the
south, in Tuskegee, Ala, and vicinity
particularly, DIR. Booker T. Washing
ton has issued the following reminder
for this year: ....-,.-..
Persons who live In largo cities and In
enlightened sections Of the country do
not realize that Christmas means very
little in the way OF happiness, enjoyment
and cheer to many of those who live In
the remote rural districts of the south.
especially those who live on the largo
plantations.
For q number Of years It has been q
privilege as well as a pleasure to re-
ceive cards and other Christmas presents
for distribution through various teachers
In the south among children In the plan
tation districts, who have very little to
make the Christmas season one to be re-
membered.
Such gifts mean much to them. Any
thing of the kind indicated can be ad-
dressed to me- and I will see that II
complishes the purpose for whir'
sent. BOOKER T. WASHJF

J. s. Butler of 1873 E. 9th ST., st. Paul,
who is Secretary of this supposed or
ganization should not explain why he
used the name Of a man without his

We hope that the porters will pay no
attention to this convention. The
Twin City Star will give all informa-
tion about this convention, when it
materializes, but so far, we can only
say-That there Is nothing to It.
This Should Be Stopped.

Author Of Song Dedicated to JaeL
johnson Has New Experience.
Encouraged by the success of the tive
former songs, Strangers" and the
"Friends," the Ennis publishing house,
Brooklyn, G. Ennis, proprietor, has
put upon the market another catchy
song. dedicated to Champion Jack
Johnson and entitled Mamma, Have
Brought Home the Bacon"
The new production is a novel one
and from present indications 1t will
prove to be a big seller. Knowing that
bookstores generally carry In stock
the latest songs relating to most all
vocations in life, and especially along
amusement lines, Mr.. Ennis offered his
new song for sale in quite number Of
the large dry goods establishments In
Brooklyn and New York.
In the majority Of the places where
Mr.. Ennis offered his new song objec.
ton was made to its title. Upon in.
quiry the publisher found that the fault
was not so much with the title, but the
real cause was that the author and
publisher was colored man, and the
managers of the music department in
many Of the stores were not accus.
toned to handling songs by colored au.
thors and publishers direct.
1t was also found that In nearly all
Of the music stores there were for sale
numerous songs written by white au.
thors with various titles Of reflective
humorous character relating to colored
people. The general title to these pro-
ductions conveys sense Of inferiority
or idea of ridicule, while Mr.. Ennis
works breathe sense of pride and ad-
miration.
