Governor Wants Bankers to Carry
Warrants in Proportion to
Capital Stock.
ALL BANKS TO ASSIST

Little Rock, Oct. 2.--Arkansas
bankers will carry the outstanding
warrants of the State at a reasonable
per centage, is the probable outcome
of the conference held between Gov.
Geo. W. Hays and number of state
bankers. This conference was neiu
in the reception room of Gov. Hays
office Thursday afternoon and was
attended by number of outside
bankers besides committee from
the little Rock Clearing House.
Gov. Hays in his effort to maintain
the credit of the state, explained to
the banks that he hoped to have them
take up the warrants and keep them
from being speculated OH and the
price placed at a figure much lower
than the circumstances warranted.
w. H. Garanflo. president of the
State National Bank, Little Rock;
acted as the chairman of the meeting,
and Clay E. Smith, of the Citizens
Investment Company, Little Rock
secretary.
After quite a little discussion it
was proposed that the banks of Ar
kansas be requested to carry GER
tain amount of the warrants in pro-
portion to their capital stock. 1t was

600 capital, which is the smallest
amount any bank is capitalized for

and the larger banks in the same
proportion. The per centage to be
discontinued on the warrants is bas-
ed upon the number of months they
have to run. Interest at the rate OF
ten per cent was the basis OF the

SHERIFF WAGNER.

Sheriff John Wagner Of st. PAU
has made a good record during his
term of office among the Negroes. hav
ing given them recognition by ap
pointment. He recently gave his word
to the Editor Of the Star that 90 he
would enforce the law upon Negro ex
cursion promoters, who planned to sell
liquor on trips down the river. That
he kept his word is proven by the
fact that--the management failed to
provide the usual refreshments. Mr.
Wagener-though Democrat-will be
supported by the best citizens, who
want no special privileges. and we are
glad to speak Of the good deeds OF
office holders at other times than
when they are seeking office.

A PLEA FOR RACIAL co-oPERA,
rTtON,

There Is much preaching these days
on racial segregation and separation
all of which Is unnecessary and un'
natural. Instead Of the races getting
further and further apart they should
be getting closer and closer together
In quiet moments when racial friction
Is not under discussion and when some
specific legislation Is not being agitat.
ed to keep the races apart, the cooler
heads.-the Christly men of both
|races-should carefully mediate and
pray for way to bring these people
closer together for mutual respect
and mutual cooperation.
Both races are here by divine de.
cree. Both races d have points of
strength and innate rights to life,
liberty and the pursuits at happiness.
Each race may be Of mutual help to
the other. The stronger may grow
the stronger by helping all weak; the
weak may grow the loftier in an at
mosphere Of generosity, magnanimity,
created by the strong in its effort to
help the weak. We can and should
come closer together in the common
interests Of the whole society, at the
same time with due regard for the
social disposition Of each other He
who seeks to widen the gulf between
the races Is an enemy of both, pro-
longs the struggle, and increases the
difficulty Of the problem. We are all
men, that Is assured. That we all
have rights that each must respect,
cannot be denied. That we are to be
here under the same flag, with COM
mon interests and common history,
for centuries to come seems to be
fore-ordained. There should be COM
nonsense, grace, patriotism and
Christly spirit enough to make race
friction less and race cooperation an
everyday product, found in all parts
and under all circumstances.
Race friction is an injury to both
To promote it causes bloodshed, sears
conscience and dissipates energy,
creates an Immoral atmosphere and
STILES the lofty growth of all con-
cerned. With one God the Father of
us all and Jesus Christ as our elder
brother, the Word of God as our plat
form, the stars and stripes for our
mutual protection. there seems to be
sufficient equipment at hand for a
forward movement toward mutual CO.
operation. - Southwestern Christian

Lack Of Proper Leadership.
Now that the population of Mime.
apolis Is increasing rapidly, it is i'm,
portant that the Negroes should keep
pace with the times, and share in its
growth. Strangers are coming in our
midst who possess qualities, which will
make it better for US, II they are
kindly received and fairly treated.
There has been among Negroes in
every community select element
known as Society" which has always
been a hindrance to the advancement
of the moral welfare of its citizens
They often represent the original off,
springs, who have done nothing, and
by their extreme conservativeness,
hinder the progress of others. We
recognize the rights of the home
circle, but should welcome the stran-
ger within our gates, especially in re-
6ulu " thCl CAlol dhu IdlCht Nlduy
recognize no merit in others because
they are not lone of u.s." There Is no
unity among our people. Every ef-
fort to bring about this has been a
failure. This Society" must be rel
egated. They are literally unable to
cope with present day conditions, and,
II the question is brought to a moral
issue, are deficient. 1t should be the
purpose and pleasure of leaders of the
smart set, to strengthen themselves
by encouraging others, who aim to do
something. We are our brothers
keeper, and should encourage him
rather than give place to criticism
There are some among Society" who
are far worse than those, who do not
set bounds to the limits Of friendship
While we believe that the home circle
Is sacred, and our social relations re-
fleet greatly upon our character; we
should not fear to touch sleeve and
elbow with Others who may have a
better reputation in the community
where they formerly lived than we
have in our Society" There has been
no leadership either socially or pol.
itically in Minneapolis. There is not
a man or woman, who can say without
contradiction. that there Is. Some have
used others Of lesser intelligence and
have held some prominence but they
with their ignorant followers have
made a miserable showing. II we are
to have caste, let those who desire
1t draw their circumscribe limitations
and stay within their circle; but II we
are to have united spirit Of repre-
sentation Negro citizenship, we must
begin now, or forever struggle along,
on the outskirts of civic and moral
interests, in the name of selfish set
called Society"

Father TheobaId on "Greek Catholics"
Church Of st. Peter Claver,
319 Fuller Ave-, st. Paul.
To the Editor Of Twin City Star.
have noticed in a recent issue,
stating THAT Greek Catholics are do
ing missionary work in Philadelphia
through the agency of Negro Priest"
and I would ask you to allow me to
throw some light on the subject, lest
the paragraph be misunderstood
BY ages Of usage the term "Catho-
lie" belongs distinctively and exclus-
lively to one religious organization,
whose central government is in the
capitol Of the Kingdom Of Italy. It
was only by an unwarranted misap-
preparation that the name Catholic"
and other terms in use by the Catho-
lie (Roman) Church have been adopt
ed by others in recent times.
Now, according to the Official Di-
rectory Of the Catholic Church in the
United States, the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia has several places of
worship, where special attention is
given to the religious needs of Ne
groes; but none of them are under
the direction Of a Negro Priest. Hence
the Greek Catholics" and the Negro
Priest" referred to, cannot mean
Catholic" IN its true and strict sense :;
but, possibly what are known to &C.
clesiastical students as Orthodox
Greeks" who are not Catholics, but
Schismatics.
It Is therefore an error to refer to
this mission as . one conducted by
Greek Catholics, and that the Negro
Priest Is Greek Negro Priest. Let
me say further that there are Catho-
lies, strictly speaking, who are Greeks,
but they are enthusiastically known as
Greek Uniats" to distinguish them
from the Greek Protestants" who
are called ORTHODOX, although they
are not.
Trusting that you will see your way
to give this explanation to your read
ers,
Yours respectfully,
