DIR. Booker T. Washington, talking
in Chicago about Tuskgee, illustrated
the spirit of the institution by describ-
ing it's Commencement exercises. The
graduates no longer read essays
headed, Beyond the Alps Lies Italy"
At a recent Commencement a young
man stood on the platform and talked
about turnips-not about the history
of turnips, or the philosophy of tur-
nips, or the psychology of turnips, but
how he had grown an acre of turnips
and what each operation had cost and
what the results were. When he fin
ished he held up two of the largest
and finest of his turnips, which he
took from a two-bushel basket on the
table beside him, and showed them
to his audience And the audience Of
farmers cheered. Perhaps Harvard's
Commencement essays may be equal
ly practical some day"

RUSSIA AND THE SOUTH.
(St. Paul Pioneer Press.)

It Is entirely proper that the Presi-
dent of the United States and the Con-
gress should make formal protest,
even to the abrogation Of a treaty,
against Russia's failure to recognize
passports granted to American citiz-
ems Of Jewish birth, but there is a
little lesson at home that should be
learned by some of the Southern
Congressman who have been most
bitter in their denunciation Of Rus
STA for discriminating against Amer
lean citizens on account Of their
religion or race"
Many of the states Of the South
openly discriminate against class Of
American citizens ION account Of
their race" Most Of the Southern
States have constitutional amend
ments or election laws which dis
franchise the Negro voters for no
other reason, whatever the various
excuses offered, than their race. 1t
will be at least interesting to watch
these Southern Congressman, who
have been so bitter in their denuncia-
ton Of Russia and see II they will
demand that the Legislatures Of their
own states cease their discrimina-
lions against any American citizens
on. account Of their race.

A REAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper isn't simply bare
chronicler Of events. It is a personal.
ity. 1t comes into your house almost
as member Of your family.
What sort of person do you like
to have visit you?
He ought to be honest, courageous.
no hypocrite, and 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 wide range of In
terests.
What do you find in The Star?
It 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. 1t
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. ...s
But it trusts this doesn't often hap
pen. Not often, does it?

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 a custom
practiced by these public execu-
TONERS, who disregard the written
laws Of the land and hold justice az a
mockery.

PAST AND PRESENT.

1t is not many years since the Rail-
roads Porters and Hotel Walters were
social outcasts. Recently they have
taken the lead. Why. They repre-
sent the bone and sinew of the ac-
cumulated wealth of the Negro, and
have paved the way to better econ
omic conditions, and left legacy to
posterity. Our greatest men have
held these positions, and today their
offspring is proud of their inheritage.
Honor and Shame from no condition
rise. Act well your part. There all
the honor lies"

MEMORIAL DAY.
LEST We Forget"

Memorial Exercises in honor OF the
Fallen Heros of the Negro Race
should be observed. The Star sug-
gests that services be held on June l,
in our churches. This is a matter of
vital Importance. We have many
relatives and friends among the de-
parted, whose memory is dear to us,
but there is one whose services to
his country won for our race its
highest honors. Shall we forget the
American Negro Soldiers?

In the fierce struggle impending be-
tween the ever-increasing multitudes
of mankind, survival Is only assured
to him who can hold his own in men
tai, moral and mechanical conquest.
The advance of universal education is
irrisistable; and under the reign of
universal education, vocational fitness
is Indispensable. Unless our brightest
and best prepared young men ard
women turn their talents to the ap-
plide sciences we shall find the race
at no distant day the flag end OF every
class of society. Now If it is true that
social efficiency has come to be re-
garded as the highest aim Of educa-
ton then there can be no difference
of opinion as to the fast that expires
sion is as important to proper educa-
ton as impression" This is a maxim
that no modern educator will dispute
and social efficiency requires one to
be able to act as well as to think; to
execute as well as to plan; to do as
well as to dream; to demonstrate as
we'll as to theorize; to actualize as
we'll as to contrive. In both phases
of this double development brains con-
stitute an essential factor.-Prof. w.
A. Joiner, in the Sodalian.

Race prejudice in America, while
contrary to reason and equity, has &C
complished one great and necessary
good for the Negro. It has served as
a stimulus to more determined effort
and is now on the verge Of accom-
plishing race solidarity to greater
extent than has ever before been ex-
istent. God moves in a mysterious
way. His wonders to perform, and
what we consider hardships are often
blessings in disguise. It Is sometimes
wise to punish a man In order to
awaken his latent energies and the
same is true of races. Those who
suffer most become the strongest be-
cause they have triumphed over
hardships. The rosy path in life Is
not conducive to the development Of
latent power and the thorny path Of
prejudice has done more to stimulate
Negro effort than anything else.
There will come a time when this
prejudice must fall and go the way
of all other discarded implements Of
civilization and that time is not far
away. The Negro is making good

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir
We read you article on Con
densed Milk with interest, and now beg to
say, that we have just received from our
London Agents. a brand of Milk, which is
ar icularly recommended rs u food for in.
fants. This Milk is p epared from pure
Cows Min, containing all Its original cream !.

progress they are making, for which we
know they have worked hard. Tn night
was beautiful and the audience a large and
gratihed one.
Messrs. H6yer q Co.'S. letter which we
publish this morning throws further light on
the condt nsed milk question. The sample
of the 3 oz. tins sent looked nice and
tasted nice. For our edito,', taste 1T was
dixie condensed milk in sencrai) rather to-
sweet, bnt the infants would like that, and
as he has come through the infant stage
some little time ago h could hardly expect
the milk TO be adapted to his liking.
But with the infants it is not simply a
question of liking for, rs is we'll known,
cows milk, in order to tit it for infant cou-
sumption, has always to be modified by the
addition of both wnter and sugar.
The S. s. PARMA from New York was due

If we count Australia as n continent, tie
largest island in the world is New Guinea.
1t is q tropical island lying north of Austria
liza and stretching from northwest to south
east for a length of about 1900 miles, equal
to the entire distance from Santa Cruz to
New York. It's size is such that it is as
large rs France and the British Isles put
together.
The Dutch claim the western half of the
island, while the eastern half is divided be-
tween Britain and Germany. the former
taking the south side, the latter the north,
the boundary between them being the water
parting in the GENITAL mountain Chain, which
has peaks up to 10000 it. in height.
1t appears that the British Government
about Z years ago turned over their territory
to the Australian Commonwealth; and their
Administrator Mr.. Staniforth Smith, has
made an important exploration in the ives
tern part Of the territory, of which he re-
Gently gave m account before the Royal
Geographical Society, part of which will be
found i'll the present number Of the Avis.
The Australians have called British New
Guinea Papua. an unfortunate choice, which
was thus criticized 10y one of the speakers ut
the meeting ut may not be out of place here
to suggest that it is not yet too late to alter
the name Pnpun, which has been applied by
the Australian Government to the territory
formerly known rs British New Guinea The
word Papua pronounced I0po6 AZ signifies
"Woolly," and is in use among the Malays Of
the Archipelago, who applied it to the wool
ly-headed natives of New Guinea, and in
course of time the island itself came to be
called Papua."
The whole island is scantily peopled and
much of the interior remains yet to be ex-
ploled.
