The Importance of Under
woods course in filling this posi-
ton on the committee on rules
lay in the fact that this money
trust resolution Is before this
committee. The vote is more or
less evenly divided and Standpat-
ter Campbelrs help was needed
to smother the Lindberg resolu-
ltion.
The proposed inquiry into the
money trust has an important
bearing on the plans of big bust
ness TO push over the sO-called
AIdrich currency scheme. Wall
street realizes that any inquiry
such as this would bring to light
the scandalous methods by which
the Aldrich scheme has been pro-
NOTED and make impossible the
passage of such legislation at any
time.

THE NEGRO EDITOR.

The Negro editor has to make much
of the news he writes. The social
clubs. the church, the Fraternal or
CARNATIONS, all must feel his guiding
hand. He is expected to be In every
thing and run errands for everyone;
send out bills for subscription and
have them ignored; do all the lying
for harmonys sake. get his dog
kicked around, and hold the sack.
He is guide. philosopher and friend
to those that are in trouble; mentor
and admonisher to those that are
about to get into trouble. The
preacher. the would-be-statesman, the
social climber, the dear girls, the way
ward boys; he must share all their
troubles, he is the confessor, the
Negro boomer, and the black goat

Kicking at Pajamas.

The United States marines In the
navy yard at Philadelphia object to
pajamas. When an order was recently
issued that they don these garments
for sleeping hours the grumbling was
loud and deep. The color was too pro-
nounced, and the frogs at the button
holes were troublesome. Think OF

much.
Yet pajamas have their uses. In the
tropical midsummer, we believe, they
are worn by day as we'll as by night
In frigid midwinter they do not Zap

the old fashioned night garment our
daddies used to wear. Therefore the

They are not things Of beauty, espe-
cially when they shrink. but what man
looks beautiful when he's asleep2
On the whole. the marines might do
worse than wear pajamas. They might

coLoRED NEWSPAPERS AND
OTHER enterprises.

There is one thing that our people
as a race should know, and the sooner
they know, the better the race. It
is very essential that business enter
prises that are already established
should be supported, and others es-
tablished. It should not be necessary
for me to tell you why. II you read
the colored papers you already know,
remarkc a writer in an exchange.
It is my purpose In this short article
to tell you few reasons why you
should pay your colored newspaper
bills and bid them Godspeed. First,
colored papers have in common an
interest in you, in every phase Of race
progress. Your success In church,
school, business, society and politics,
is also the new papers success. When
you, as an enterprising man or wom-
an, aspiring boy or girl, refuse to sup
port your own paper, you strike your
self and race great blow.
Your boys and girls are coming
out of school every year by the hun
dreds. Unlike boys and girls of
other races, there Is no job awaiting
them. And If they try to make one
for themselves and others in the
newspaper and others in the news.
paper and newspaper business, would
you be cruel enough to thwart their
efforts by refusing to pay an honest
bill for a years subscription or a
sack Of flour? .&
You must patronize your colored
merchants and newspapers, or for
ever make beggar out of your race.
You say, perhaps, the newspapers is
not a good one. Why not? Don't
you think it Is because you withhold
your financial support?-The Seattle
Searchlight

A newspaper isn't simply bare
chronicler of events. 1t Is q personal
ity.. II comes into your house almost
as member Of your family.
What sort OF a person G, you like
to have visit you?
He ought to be honest. courageous.
no hypocrite, and gentleman, with
real interest In you. ready to lend
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?
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 1t observes the
decencies and amenities Of life. II
never wantonly brings shame or sor-
row to any home. Its advertisements
are clean.
II the Twih City Star does not
bring you something Of interest in

so much that week. 1t takes Of It's

you as a visitor.

Five Typical Americans.

There are exactly i've candidates for
the presidency this year. and four OF
the ave have been candidates for the
office before. Governor Woodrow vii.
son of New Jersey. the Democratic
nominee. being the only one who has
not previously acted as standard
bearer of his party.
In alphabetical order the eve candi
dates are Eugene Wilder Chain of
Arizona. Prohibition: Eugene Victor
Debs Of indiana. Socialist: Theodore
Roosevelt of New York. Progressive;
william Howard Taft of Ohio. Repub
Iican. and Woodrow Wilson OF New
Jersey. Democrat.
Have these men any traits In com.
mon that may be taken as indicative
Ut our national ideals? 1t may be as
sumed that any people would choose as
their supreme representatives those in
divtduals who possessed In marked
degree their own virtues That being
the case. what are the virtues that
these men all possess that may be
taken as typical Of those of the ma
tion2
The 6rst and most gratifying IL that
they are men Of clean private lives. as
has been the case with practically all
of our presidents. Their family rela.

All of them are comparatively poor.
Roosevelt is perhaps the richest Of the
lot. and most Of his money was in
herited.
All are good speakers. though none
of the I've would be classed as an ora.
tor. All are well educated in the true
sense. although only three-Taft,
Roosevelt and Wilson-are college
men. Three are lawyers-Taft, Chain
and Wilson-although Wilson did not
practice long. Three are writer's of
books Wilson, Chain and Roosevelt
and. strangely enough, all three are
writer's of histories.
All are physically ct. Taft and vii.
son play golf. Roosevelt hunts and
plays tennis. and Chain Ia something
OF an athlete.
All are very much in earnest. though
with q gift of humor; all are public
spirited and believe In principles. As
types they reflect credit on the Ameri.
can people. j.. A. EDGERTON.
