The great work that the church is
doing for home and foreign missions
was emphasized by the Rev. DR.. W.
w. Beckett, secretary Of missions, who
reported that the denomination had
raised $131, S741O for missions during
the past four years through the parent
missionary society. the Woman's Home
and Foreign Missionary society, the
Womans Mite Missionary society, and
$1,000 was also raised by Bishop W.
II. Heard. Besides looking after minis
tiers with poor charges in this country.
the work of the denomination in West
and South Africa, the West Indies and
Central and South America is also
aided.
DR.. Beckett is regarded as one Of
those most likely to be elected to the
bishopric. His splendid record as mis-
sionary secretary and his previous rec
ord as minister and presiding elder in
South Carolina have made many of
the most influential members of the
denomination declare that they favor
his election to the episcopacy. He is a

POLITICAL INACTIVITY.

Our leaders stand by and see the
machine" pack the caucuses, and
control primaries in Negro districts.
They get the money to deliver the
vote and use no effort to do so. If
they did, the Negro districts of the
9Th and 9Th wards would have Negro
representatives. Old Negro leaders
do not believe in Young Mems Politi-
cal Clubs. They fear their own un-
doing.
The Negro is due some political
representation as a matter of right,
not as matter of favor. Numerical
ly we are strong enough to demand
this. If We get together. WE ARE
together and let us STAY ToGETH-
Err.
The Negroes of Hennepin County

and national, in proportion to the sup.

The postoffice appropriation bill,
carrying approximately $275,000,000,
was passed by the house, 227 to 5.
The measure carried in addition to the
appropriations necessary for the con-
duct of the department a number of
radical provisions. Among these were
federal aid for good roads, the COM
pulsory publication by newspapers,
magazines and periodicals of the
names of owners and the establish
nent Of a parcels post in connection
with rural free delivery system.
The workmen's compensation bill
was passed in the senate, GA to Is,
substantially as framed by the EN-.
ployers' liability commission, and
amended only to increase it's benefits.
The measure, sharply fought by some
of the Democrats for several days,
now goes to the house. A number of
amendments were offered, but only
few were accepted, and those were
with the acquiescence of Senator
Sutherland, in charge Of the bill.
The general service pension bill as
agreed on in conference grants $1S
month to soldiers sixty-six years old
who served two years and half and
SO to those who served three years.
Those seventy years old who served
one and half years get $21.50; two
years $23; two and half years 1914;
three years $25. Those of seventy-five
years who served one and half years
get $27, and two and half years $50.
The report of the conferees of the
two houses of congress on the general
pension bill was agreed to by the SEN
ate. The bill will necessitate an aver.
age increase of appropriations of 1922,
100000 year for the next five years.
The greatest increase will occur next
year, when it will reach $35,OOO,OOO.
A midsummer session of congress,
with two weeks recess in June dur.
ing the Democratic and Republican
conventions, is unanimously predicted
by the leaders of the house. Any
where from July Is to Aug. Is is the
possible time for adjournment, the

UNLIMITED LAWLEssNEss.

The sentiment of the American
public knows no bounds. They chose
any time or place to perform any
ceremonies which may appeal to
their fads or fancies. The
lynching Of Negroes by white men
is prevalent, yet the lynching of
white men by white men has proven
that this lawlessness is not born of
prejudice alone, but out Of custom
practiced by these public execu-
TONERS, who disregard the written
laws Of the land and hold justice as a
mockery.

Rockefeller Pastor Offers Ten a. q So
luton Of the Divorce Evil.
DR.. w. w. BASTARD, pastor Of John
D. Rockefeller's Euclid Avenue Bap-
fist church in Cleveland, O., recently
gave these ten "don'ts'' for husbands
as a solution of the divorce evil:
Don't forget your wife wants to be
loved as much after marriage as be-
fore. .
Don't arrange for your second mar
riage before your first wife is either
dead or divorced.
Don't compel your wife to ask for
cent every time she needs one.
Don't expect your wife to work four
teen hours day when you work only
eight.
Don't carry all your religion in your
wife's name.
Don't let your neighbors pity your
children because you were their father.
Don't gossip. Men should not en-
croach on a woman's privilege
Don't try to run forty horsepower
automobile on a four horsepower sal
airy.
Don't live beyond your means or &C
cording to your meanness.
Don't forget the best legacy you can
leave your family Is the memory of a
good husband and kind father.
"All the honeymooning Of life ought
not to end with the honeymoon" said
Mr.. BASTARD, supplementing his several
"don'ts." "a man should always re-
member It Is no sin to kiss his own
wife. Love is not for courtship alone.

A REAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper isn't simply a bare
chronicler Of events. It Is a personal
ity. It comes into your house almost
as a member Of your family.
What sort Of person d. 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 II you need help. Cheerful.
ness and good humor are excellent
qualities, and a wide range of in.
terests.
What do you find in The Star?
It has opinions, of course, and II
speaks them out freely. They are it's
own and they are not Influenced by
outside interests. The square deal Is
its platform.
In handling news 1t 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, It has failed by
so much that week. It takes of its
hat and apologies for having bored
you as a visitor.
But It trusts this doesn't often hap
pen. Not often, does It?

has been discovered, which it is

in a few hours sufficiently well to con-

one of it's originators, and it is called

He says it is not beautiful language,

Should it be adopted, people the world
