EMANCIPATION MEETING.

Advancement Association Holds Over.
Reconsideration In Cooper Union.
The National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People held a
largely attended emancipation meeting
in Cooper Union, New York, on Mon
day evening, Feb. 10, at 8 o'clock. Mr..
John ID. Milholland presided. The
principal speakers were DR.. M. @. B.
Mason, the new national organizer Of
the association; Mrs. Fanny Garrison
Willard and John Jay Chapman.
There were brief remarks on resolu-
tons presented to the meeting by DR..
Du Bois, Mr.. Willard and Mr.. Spin
garn. There were plantation melodies
sung by some Of the members Of DR..
g. 81. Sims church. The members Of
the flying squadron acted as ushers.
It was fitting that such meeting Of
the association be held in the hall
where the great emancipator made his
most memorable speech against slav-
cry. The meeting was great success.
There was no charge for admission.
Representative people Of many races
occupied seats on the platform as
guests Of honor.

matters Of business requiring more
than ordinary knowledge, executive
ability, self reliance and skill.
DR.. ]. B. Singleton, who succeeded the
late DR.. r. r. Boyd as president Of the
Peoples Savings Bank and Trust COM
pany, was again selected unanimously
to head this institution at the annual
stockholders meeting of the bank held
recently. Under his administration
the success Of the institution has been
all that was desired by those connected
with the concern, the last year, 1912,
being the most prosperous in the his
tory Of the institution. 'rs
The bank has remarkable record
for gains, and the total resources for
1912 were over $4,000, and this when,
1t will be remembered, the institution
Is only three and one-half years old.
During the past year the gain in re-
sources shows the amount to have been
$21, 900 and the capital stock increased
$4,000, condition largely attributed
to the business acumen Of President
Singleton, who has about him a most
worthy corps of local business men,
who are his stanch supporters and ad-
visers.

those for whom such concerns are or

race in almost every walk Of life now
seems to be toward cooperation, con-

couraging sign of real progress.
The success of the race in conduct
ing business and financial institutions
on a large scale shows that our people
are learning the lesson that in union
there Is strength, and that If we are to
be strong, industrious people there
must be union Of forces working
along all lines Of industry, education
and religion. The strong should help

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB
scRIBER?

A court decision has lately been
rendered in Massachusetts, on what
constitutes q subscriber.
The Judge firmly believed that q
man who received the paper. although
he never subscribed for It, is entitled
to pay. James Thompson moved,
and William Robinson took imme.
date possession, and received and ac-
cepted a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him through the mails
every week. The goodnatured editor
sent accounts frequently. but no at.
tention was paid to them by Mr.. Rob-
inson. Finally there was day Of
reckoning. Robinson had received
the paper for some time, he informed
the collector, but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay
for It. The Judge personally Ques-
toned the defendant, who said that
he read and. made use of It and was
receiving the accounts, which were
frequently enclosed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered In favor Of
the newspaper.
The Judge was severe In his criti-
cism Of people who are receiving pa
pers and do not think 1t worth while
to pay for what they receive and
make use Of It as an act of dishon-
esty, he said one should acquaint the
publisher and pay for what numbers
he receives.-X.

A REAL NEWSPAPER.

: A newspaper isn't simply bare
chronicler of events. It is personal
ity. It 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,
Ino hypocrite, and q gentleman. with
Ia real interest in you, ready to lend
IA hand If you need help. Cheerful.
mess and good humor are excellent
Qualities, and q wide range Of In.
Iterests.
What do you find in The Star?
It has opinions, of course, and 1t
speaks them out freely. They are its
own and they are not Influenced by
Ioutside interests. The square deal is
hts platform.
In handling news II observes the
ldecencies and amenities Of life. It
never wantonly brings shame or sor.
row to any home. It's advertisements
are clean.
II the Twih City Star does not
bring you something Of interest in
any particular issue, 1t has failed by
50 much that week. It takes of its
hat and apologies for having bored
you as visitor.
But It trusts this doesn't often hap
pen. Not often, does It?

Women In Washington's PoIitioo.so.

Women In Washington's Politioo-so.
eial Set.
1t Is being said that the administra.
ton Of President Elect Wilson will be
one of the most important politico-so-
cial regimes in the history of the cap
ital. The women of the official set will
play a very important role, not In a
purely superficial social sense. but In
q much more subtle way, says Mary
Kouncelor Brookes. Women in OIL
cialdom more and more are realizing
that in their social life something more
potential than their own passing amuse-
ment is involved.
It so happens that the new admin
istration will be supported by the ready
and intelligent aid of an unusual group
Of women.
From all indications Vice President
Marshall will be much closer to the
White House than has been any vice
president for many years, and 1t nat
urally follows that Mrs. Marshall will
be closely associated with the mistress
Of the White House.
Washington is going to be very fond
Of Mrs. Marshall. He has the person
ality and experience to assure her
great popularity. In the first place.
she is beautifully free from snobbish-
ness and has remained unspoiled from
her advancement as the wife Of a
country lawyer to the first lady In In.
diana and now to the second place
among American women. Being the
wife Of the governor Of Indiana is in
itself a responsible position. and Mrs.
Marshall during these four years has
evidenced a social generalship and gra-
cious tact which assure her success In
her more important position.
But closer to the president than the
vice president will be Speaker Clark.
And quite naturally this means that
Mrs. Clark will be much in evidence in
the White House social program. Mrs.
Wilson's social menage could not re-
ceive better aid. No woman in Wash
ington is more deservedly popular than
Mrs. Clark, and her Wednesday after
noon receptions are thronged with q
distinguished gathering Of famous men
and women.
The third woman who will play a
considerable part In the politico-social
regime Is Mrs. Underwood. wife Of the
affable door leader Of Democracy and
chairman Of the powerful ways and
means committee. Mrs. Underwood
has lived In Washington for q number
of years and has a strong following
among residential as well as official So
ciety. She is Of an Alabama family Of
great wealth and is a musician Of no
mean ability.
This year she has taken the house
of the late Major Archie Butt and has
had the place entirely done over. With
such a charming home In which to re-
ceive, Washington believes that Mrs.
Underwood intends to inaugurate q
brilliant social program.

says, 1--WE feel that for lack Of under
standing the African and oriental have
produced nonappreciation, and nonap-
probation has unleashed the hydra
headed monster Of derision, contempt
and repression" ..
Laudable ambitions have but to be
voiced to be appreciated, and that
touch of nature which makes the
whole world kin has only to be
brought into operation to establish that
bond Of universal brotherhood among
white, yellow, brown and black.

"As for you, the black race, the brown

taking place In the darker world and
what progress their race 10 making
