When the protest against the condi-
ltions forced upon the Negro citizens
Of this city by the existence Of the
Twin City Stag Club was first given
publicity, the President of the Afro.
American Federated Women's Clubs,
Mrs. John Sellars, was confined to her
bed, therefore we did not consult her
lin this matter it being generally un-
.derstood, that the Federated Women
were discussing the affair, in view Of
proper action. lit was soon evident
that Ed. Stewart would be tolerated.
because of their sympathy for his
wife, who is one Of the estimable
women and old residents In this city.
although she is now assisting MIR.
Stewart in the management OF this
STAG CLUB. and on account Of her
presence there, many Of our sup
posedly respectable ladies are fre-
quent patrons. because Of sympathy.
says Mrs. Sellars. Il fear that the
Clubs will not take any action. Now
the Star knows--just how much moral
ity counts, in this Federation. We
are not opening family closets, but we
mean that we know that there Is q,
great deal Of immortality. and believe
that the majority Of the women Of
these clubs, should not be members,
Of this noble organization. We are
sorry; while the other branches OF
this grand organization in other
cities, are doing social settlement and
other work for humanity; that, wa,
have among our organization so many
who condone conditions. as are al
