Publishers Should Protect
Readers Through Ad Columns.
ADVERTISING TRUTHS.

The Negro Advertising Agencies are
placing class of advertising with
Negro newspapers, which Is in every
way Objectionable to their readers and
should be discontinued by their pub
fishers. Such ads. viz, fortune-tellers,
fake hair preparations, (cartooned for
display are only placed in Negro
papers, and accepted at rate to
cover space.
The Twin City Star has never &C
cepted such, and We platly refused
hundreds of dollars worth from sew
eral agencies. 1t is a fact that pub
locations using the American plate
service should be looked out for by
the advertising department of that as
sociation as well as the white week
lies. Those firms, who pay for space

Importance to Negro publishers.
They should contend for their share
of clean advertising, without padding
their circulation, and be willing to
accept the same rate as the white
newspaper of equal circulation. Yet,
we talk about standardization of ad-
vertising, etc., when it is known that
our newspapers are the cess pools OF
publicity, receptacle for every
body's advertising. The publisher Of
The Twin City Star has always re-
served the right to select the matter
for it's columns. 1t is fast becoming
a rule among Negro agents to buy
space with all rights reserved" We
do not need money, to the extent, that
we fill in with fake ads, and trust to
the honesty of an agency for the pay
ment of space.
We had hopes that the National
Negro Press Association would give
this matter greater attention, but they
were almost completely blasted when
we found that there were many cor

CHRISTIANITY.

Christianity certainly enjoins
love for ,rother man. The great
apostle whose fiery soul set the
ancient Roman empire aglow
with a new light held that under
the new dispensatiOn distinc-
tons inherent In blood or tongue
were consumed and fused into
q new and consecrated unity.
Certainly Christ never could
lend His sanction to such out
RACES as are perpetrated upon
human beings in the name and
by the authority Of men pro-
Tossing to rejoice in the redemp-
ton from bondage to sin brought
about in his glorious resurrec-
ton. Christianity. true Chris
tianity, is on trial. not the Jew.

Indianapolis.-F the cotton fields
and canebrakes Of Louisiana to the
cook kitchen and washtub and from
there to sole owner Of a great manu-
featuring plant is the remarkable ca
reer of Madam G. J. Walker of this
city. 1t was around Christmas time
back in 1867 that she was born in Del
ia. La; hence her parents looked upon
her as a Christmas token. and it has
since proved that she was a token to
her race.
As has been intimated, her early life
was spent on the plantation, where
she learned to chop cotton, pick cot
ton and do anything else necessary to
the growth of the staple. At an early
age she was thrown on her own re-
sources, and. with heart full Of in
spiration to accomplish something in
life, she sought the schoolhouse,
books, Sunday school. church and ev-
erything that had in any way around
1t an elevating influence.
With a desire for education she
found her way to st. Louis. where she
secured employment doing cooking,
washing and ironing and going to
night school. thus proving to the
world that a mind, once made up, can
accomplish wonderful things. Step
by step she has advanced in educa-
ton, influence and wealth. taking her
place among other women Of the race
who are doing something and who
stand for unity and cooperation for
mutual uplift.
Having secured fair education, the
next thing was to recognize the fact
that there was place for her in the
world and something for her to do
To find 1t was the next thing. Many
avenues opened to her. but none SEEM

that of hair culture. Right into Den

Nothing to Do on the Farm.

Harvest is past, and that means
much to some people. They are free
from worry; they have no stock to
care for; no manure to haul no hay to
make, Their thoughts turn to the
chautauqua, the motor car and the
burning questions down at the corner
grocer's. Their fences need repair,
but they are going to fix them rainy
day. The stately sunhower that
ornaments the fence rows is, to them
it would seem, the most beautiful Of
all flowers, for even the thought Of
mutilating them is extremely re-
pulsive. If they don't plow any in
the fall, it can be done in the spring.
They long for the 8-hour day, with
but one working day in the week.
and would much prefer one that is
no, too hot. From the Nebraska
Farmer.

compelled to wait until they had con.
cluded their warbling before he was
able to deliver his address. This
may be "Jefersonian simplicity"
but it will hardly conform to the pub
lies idea Of official propriety.
1t may be that the jugglers and
yodlers gave entertainment that was
more pleasing and instructive than
that furnished by the secretary Of
state. But when the latter brushes
the Japanese ambassador aside with
an interview Of twenty minutes in or
der to catch train to deliver a Chau-
tauqua address for a monetary fee,
and when, before delivering il, he
has to wait until the yodlers cease
their yodling and the jusglers get
through juggling, it would seem that
the last word of poor taste had been
said. There are many circumstances
under which Mr.. Bryan or any other
prominent man might deliver rChau-
tauqua addresses with profit to his
hearers. Nor is the acceptance Of a
fee therefore any breach OF the pro-
prietics when other and more impor-
tant duties are not neglected. But
the country cannot look with approv-
al at the spectacle of the secretary Of
state neglecting public business to
compete for hearing and for fee
with jugglers and Tryolean yodlers.
1t is little wonder that Mr.. Bryan is
fas, becoming subject for jest among
foreign commentators, thereby re-
flecting ridicule upon the govern
ment and the whole American peo-
pie .-Kansas City Journal.

Lost Arts OF the Farm.

The need for increasing the food
supply is now imperative because of
the inordinate price Of meats, which,
according to predictions, are to 60
still higher. The explanation is the
old familiar one of the elimination of
the great ranges and free grazing Of
the Western plains, but the high price
applies to pork and to all other meats.
The explanation lies deeper than that !;
it must take into account a false,
reckless system Of economics charact-
eristic of prodigal generation and
dangerously extended on the American
Has it ever occurred to you the
persons who talk Of the loss, of West
ern grazing as the cause OF unreason-
able prices for beef that long before
the ranges were used the. American
people had aplentiful supply Of beef
and mutton al low eosti That was
due to the fact that nearly every
farmstead raised its quota of beef,
mutton and pork. Now the ordinary
farmer refuses to raise cattle he says
i. doesn't pay. He will not raise
sheep; it is too much bother. He
will not even raise pigs, alleging the
high price OF middlings and other
feed; in consequence meats are
scarce everywhere, and the farmer
himself haunts the country store aud
pays an inordinate price on pork.
The ::modern easy going, trouble
lodging system OF American farming
in the East has been carried to amaz-
ing lengths. At nearly every country
station great crates will be found each
day continuing bread shipped from city
bakeries for farm households which no
longer take the trouble to bake. Nor
does the ordinary farmer maintain a
market garden or carefully raise fruit.
He buys expensive canned goods and
his preserves and even his Pumpkin
pies. The old household industries
and productive arts have been lost,
and naturally the cost OF living is
high.-Philadeldhia Public Ledger.

Bishop e. E., Hoss, of Muskogee,
Okla D., in the chair. About 200 min
istets and laymen are expected in at

western halt Of south Missouri and
the eastern border of Kansas) there
we're last year 363 church organiza-
tions, with 3s,9Io members and over
$4,000 Sunday school scholars.
At this conference about so pas
tors will have their personal and offic.
ial characters passed upon, and be-
ing approved, be assigned to fields
of labor for another year. Thus
every able and approved pastor will
have charge, and every charge a
pastor. The Conference will be in
session for about four days, and mat
ters pertaining to the church's pros
psiity will receive attention by this
body.

of this city left for Conference Tues
day afternoon, and Warren B. Todd

The report read last Sunday by the
pastor indicated that the church here
prospered last year. Thirty-two new

his health. He was candidate for
reelection as mayor of New York

The Chavtavqun.

We are requested to correct the
statement supposed to have been
made in last weeks REPUBLICAN that
the Chautauqua had taken in consid-
erably more than the guarantee Of
5000, and that the pool would realize
enough out OF the surplus to at least
Jay for their season tickets. II
seems that the arrangement is alto
gether one sided, and we suppose
the business men Of Versailles are
willing to have the statement 60 forth
that if they guarantee an Iowa COM
pany 5000 on hve entertainments,
$I2o each day, and only 5000 is
taken in for season tickets, then the
business men get busy and dig down
and cough up the other 5000, but if
there are tickets sold to the amount
Of 5000, or more, the entire amount
goes to the Iowa concern. What
kind Of sports are our business men ?
There is certainly no element OF
gambling in deal of that kinda
possibility OF loss and no hope of any
gain whatever. We rather believe in
the Chautauqua as an influence for
good it is of modern innovation,
rather costly, but on lines with the
automobile, moving picture shows,
flying machines, ETC., and all right
for towns that are in shape to have
them, but Chautauqna for Versailles
looks to us like trying to put on the
roof before the walls are up. Ver-
sailles needs so many things: A dec
ent school building, or rather a dec
ent high school building with good
big play ground, park, waterworks,
sewerage streets and sidewalks
brought to grade, narrow street
widened, blind streets opened up,
new streets opened up. Six hundred
dollars spent on the road between
Stcver and Versailles would be OF
lasting benefit. Hall the amour,
spent on our home band would make
it unnecessary to import . foreign
band for Sunday concert. 1t wouk
pay for a big street fair and carnival
something of more benefit than two
Chautauquas.
We are glad to know that a con
tract has been made with this low,
concern for another turn next year
and hope there will be no loss. Ma,
Versailles eventually get into tn,
Bryan Chautauqua class, with a guar
antee Of s., 500, the best is none toc
good.

rect, we are willing to keep trying
