ton the States will be ratifying an
amendment to the Constitution limit
ing the President to a single term.
IF Mr.. Roosevelt lays aside his
ambition and determines to devote
himself to the unselfsh propagation
OF progressive ideas he will soon re-
cover what he has lost in public es-
TEEN and make himself moral force
in the Nation A mans moral force
depends very largely upon the I'M
selflshness of his efforts and this rule
applies to Mr.. Roosevelt as well as
to others.
"The ex-President is a man of great
ability and wonderful energy; he has
an enthusiastic following-many OF
his supporters being almost idolat-
rous in their attachment. If he will
give them a chance,to believe that he
is working wholly for the public
their admiration VIII know no
bounds.
Thine will show whether Mr..
Roosevelt is willing to enlist under
the banner of another and fight in
the ranks or whether he will insist on
carrying the standard himself.
THE Democratic party has won
great victory-not greater than was
claimed, but greater than most of the
Democrats expected-for claims
usually outrun expectations. The
triumph is complete and the respon-
sibility is commensurate with it. 1t
is too early yet to analyze the returns
and determine just what causes
have been most potential in contribut-
ing to the results.
1T is too early even to compare
with accuracy the real strength of
the parties. We do not know yet
whether the Democratic party has
made a material gain in the number
of its voters, or whether its success
is due entirely to the division in the
Republican party.
IF the complete returns show
large gain in the Democratic vote it
will furnish encouragement to believe
that the party has made a permanent
advance. If, however, the victory
must be credited wholly to a division
in the Republican party, the Demo-
cratic party will have even more rea-
son to be on it's good behavior, for a
failure to rise to the requirements of
the occasion will not only disappoint
the Democrats, but will reunte the
Republicans"
Mr. Bryan is one of the great men
of this country. But for his great
error in backing up the free silver
theory just when a tremendous in
crease of gold production made the
proposition dangerous, there is little
question that before this he would
have been president of the United
States. Aside from this mistake, Mr.
Bryan has proved himself one of the
most far sighted statesmen of the
country and his views are of more
than passing interest, not only to
Democrats, but to all other parties as
well.

The Grand Jury Of Hennepin Co.,
failed to find a true bill against a
white man, named Russell, accused
of indecent assault on Omita Morgan,
a Negro girl, and the daily papers
refused to COVE noticeable mention to
the incident. Had 1t been vice-versa
headlines would have glared-even
though the accused may have been
innocent.
It is reported that the Russell case
was fixed, that the mother OF the
Morgan girl received $500. We hope
that the Grand Jury. which failed to
indict him. were presented with the
facts in this case, Just as in the
Mann case Of few months ago-s
case of a Negro accused Of assault
on a white girl. He was acquitted by
white jury. Did this mother place

A REAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper isn't simply q bare
chronicler Of events. 1t is a personal
ity. 1t comes into your house almost
as a member of your family.
What sort of person do you like
to have visit you?
He ought to be honest, courageous,
no hypocrite, and a gentleman. with
a real interest in you, ready to lend
a hand If you need help. Cheerful
ness and good humor are excellent
qualities. and wide range Of in
terests.
What do you find in The Star?
1t has opinions, of course, and it
speaks them out freely. They are its
own and they are not influenced by
outside interests. The square deal is
its platform.
In handling news it observes the
decencies and amenities Of life. It
never wantonly brings shame or sor-
row to any home. It's advertisements
are clean.
II the Twin City Star does not
bring you something Of interest in
any particular issue, 1t has failed by
SO much that week. It takes of it's
hat and apologies for having bored
you as a visitor.
But it trusts this doesn't often hap
pen. Not often, does it?
Begin New Year with a subscrip-
ton to a Negro paper. If wou do not
subscribe to local paper, send for
your home paper. But pay for it.
Race papers are a necessity, and
must be supported by individuals.
Every Negro should in some way con-
tribute something towards the ad-
vancement Of the Negro Press.

COLOR LINE SHARPLY DRAWN.
Adams Express Cos employees refuse
to check Great Northern Freight
from a Negro Way Bill Clerk.
Negroes to demand rights by with.
drawaI Of patronage.
Mr.. Fred l.. Parker Of st. Paul, a
student Of the Univ. of Mimi, was
employed by the Great Northern Ry.
as extra way bill freight clerk and
was dismissed by said company be-
cause the employees Of the Adams
Epress Co. refused to CHECK freight"
from Negro. Mr.. Owen Of the Elk
press Co., was consulted by the Off
Gals Of the G. N. Ry. and it is said
that he remarked that he was a
Southerner, and did not approve Of
Negroes being employed in such po-
sitions. and that he approved Of the
actions of his subordinates.
Mr.. J. G. Johnston, General Agent Of
the Great Northern Ry. has interested
himself in this case, not solely be-
cause their freight was held up by
Checker Tom" and other employees,
but because he believes that the Elk
press Co. should be fair to all men,
regardless Of color, and he has ex-
pressed his surprise that Mr.. Owen
would go on record as having made
such statements. We are glad that
such men as Mr.. Johnston live today,
and are willing to protect such meri-
torious young men, whenever they are
employed. Mr.. Owen was interviewed
on Thursday by the Editor Of the
Twin City Star, and he denied having
in anyway approved of any discrimi-
nation. While we give some credence
to his statement, we will further in
vestigate. There Is mass meeting
to be held at one of our churches to
interest the public along this line, and
II Mr.. Owen has said and done what
he Is accused of doing, 1t will mean
the concentrated effort Of many Ne
groes to withhold their patronage
from the Adams Express Co., and that
means much.
A CORRECTION.
Mr.. Fred. l.. Parker states that he
was not dismissed by the Great
Northern Ry. Freight Agt. as was
stated in this publication. The Editor
him to say that he was
dismissed because there was nothing
for him to do, when the Adams Ex-
press Co.'s checkers refused to check
his transfers" but we have his de-
NAL of that statement and gladly
make the correction.
Had we known that he remained
until his time-of employment had ex-
pired we would have given no at
tention to the matter, although we
were requested to investigate.
