EDUCATOR APPEALS TO HELP
NEGRO GIRL.
Asserts She Receives Less Protection
And Resjeet Than any Being.

Asserts She Receives Less Protection
And Resject Than any Being.
Chicago.-A plea for the Negro
girl was made in an address by Prof.
William Pickens Of Talladega COL
lege, Alabama, at the graduating ex.
ercises Of the Provident Hospital
Training School for Nurses.
IAN institution like Provident hos.
pital is manifesting this noble mod
ern Christian spirit In two ways"
said Prof. Pickens. First, in caring
for the needy of its own neighbor-
hood. and second in pointing a way
OF life to the most neglected member
OF rather neglected group of Amer.
lean citizens-the Negro girl.
II say without envy and without
grudge that the white girl of America
Is the best cared for creature that has
ever appeared on the face of the
earth.
"On the other hand, the Negro girl
IL almost without employment except
OF the most mental sorts, and receives
less protection from public opinion
than from the law. For the unpro-
tected, unsupported girl homework,
personal low wage service, is full of
death. What must the Negro girl doc
Stay at home in idleness? Idleness
Is full Of weakness and temptation.
So there she is, between vultures on
the right and tempters on the left
on the one hand death and on the
other sin.
1.-THE most virtuous creature In the
United States Of America IL a vir.
tuous Negro woman. Her resisting and
enduring powers are Of the highest
order. In this she Is prototype and
phrophecy OF what her race is to be,
" It will overcome. Her character 10
often assalled In fact, and her repu-
tation more often assailed In Islander.
But those of us who know the
Negro race kniw that the virtuous
colored woman's name is legion and
that her ranks are increasing. II
seems almost absurd to feel the
necessity Of saying so. but the bold.
ness Of the SANDER ELECTS the de-
Tense. This woman has honored her
sex by proving the virtue of woman.
hood as few groups of women in the
history Of the owrld have ever had
the privilege of proving It. She has
run the gauntlet of a double fire and
delivered the destinies of q race"

THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE.

The national Progressive party,
committed to the principle Of govern
ment by a seif-eontrolled democracy
expressing It's will through represen-
tatIves Of the people pledges itself to
secure such alterations In the funda-
mental law Of the several states and
Of the United States as shall insure
the representative character Of the
government.
In particular this party declares for
direct primaries for the nomination
of state and national officers, for ma
tion-wide preferential primaries for
candidates for the presidency, for the
direct election of United States sena-
tors by the people; and we. urge on
the states the policy of the short bal.
lot with responsibility to the people
secured by the initiative, referendum
and recall.
This is the plank in the platform
condeming States Rights, and the re.
vival of the Civil Rights Bill, which
the Republicans never passed.

NEGROES or THE TWIN CITIES
GIVEN LESS CONSIDERATION
THAN ANY OTHER RACE.


THAN ANY OTHER RACE.
We have over Ten Thousand no..
00o) Negroes In the Twin Cities, and
about five thousand, (5,000y in Min.
neapolis alone, who are spending over
fifteen thousand ($15. 2OO.00) Dollars
per week, which amount is almost
absolutely cash. and every other
nationality In the Twin Cities is EN-.
ployed in clerical positions in ali the
stores where the Negro spends this
large amount Of money. Now, the
time has come when we are awak-
ing to the fact that we must do some
thing, and what we do must be for
the benefit, in some manner OF the
Negro who is striving honestly to
make a mark for the race. Even
some Of the large stores, which /
will not mention at this writing,
absolutely refuse to place an adver-
tisement in the Negro Newspapers,
which. II they did, would show that
they wanted the Negro trade and ap-
preciated same; some 60 to the ex-
tent OF shamming that they do not
advertise in weekly papers. Why
should they advertise In a white
Weekly Paper when they are giving
all the considerations to the other
races, and they advertise In the
White Dailies, and employ. as be-
fore stated, every other nationality,
in clerical positions except the Ne
gro; although there are concerns,
namely, L. 8. Donaldson, Root &
Hageman. Boutell Bros. and a few
others, who always show their ap-
probation for what the Negro spends
yearly with them by advertising in
Negro Newspapers.
And from now on we hope that
every Negro who spends a Dollar In
the Twin Cities, will try to make Il a
point to spend II with some one who
10 willing to advertise In some Negro
Newspapers, whether It be, 1.-THE
Twin City STAR" 1.-THE Weekly Wis
itor" or 1.-THE Appeal"
It is very essential that we main
tain our Negro Journals, as we have
no other way Of conveying certain
news that pertains absolutely to the
advancement Of the Negro Aace than
through our newspapers and maya
zines. For instance, when we wish
to mention the great men of our race,
such as DIR. Booker T. Washington,
Prof. w. q. B. Du Bots, and many
others, to lay before our people as
examples to encourage us in our
walks Of life, with many other very
important things, make 1t absolutely
necessary for US to have Negro News
papers; and when we consider that
many OF the very largest concerns
with whom We spend thousands of
dollars year refuse to advertise in
some Negro Paper, and also do not
employ any Of our race in clerical DO
sitions, goes without saying that they
do not appreciate the Negroes trade.

Negroes. For this reason Mr.. John
son will never regain the former re-
spect Of the public or his race. He
had a right to his choice, but that
choice was his undoing. He has never

higher things of life-and these
recent occurrences might have been

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, Dec. ga big increase
was expected In the visible supply OF
wheat during the past week. but In
stead of an increase there was a de-
crease OF $4,000 bushels which makes
the visible now 6i.3l4.0OG bushels.
There was good buying by snort and
there was ALSO some investment de-
mand when these figures were posted.
A year ago at this time there was
decrease In the visible of 10000 bushels,
whom the total was 67.305.000 bushels.
In addition to the foregoing surprise,
as well as disappointment for the bears,
was the decrease of $4,000 bushels IN
the Chicago stocks to a total of $685.
600 bushels, which compared with 49,
$50, 900 bushels for the corresponding
time in 1911.

that no better diversity of entertain
