You can get no idea of these lofty lakes
from the encyclopedias or biographies.
They are represented on the maps as oval in

Lake Tticaca is 81 miles wide and 120 miles
long. Some authorities state that the lake
has an area of 5000 square miles, while 9TH
ers put the area at more than 5000 From
some descriptions you might imagine it a

of Lake Titicaca and its sister, Pampa Aul-

NATIONAL DEeENERAcY.
Lincoln Abhorred Oppression
and Despised Hypocrisy.

The speech of Abraham Lin
coin in 1855 regarding the polit-
zeal situation and the tendency
to disregard the rights Of human
beings to life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness is striking
" applicable to the condition of
affairs In this country at the
present time.
Mr.. Lincoln said:
II am not a Know Nothing
that is certain. How could be?
How can any one who abhors
the oppression Of the Negroes
be In favor Of degrading classes
Of white people? Our progress
in degeneracy appears to me to
be pretty rapid. As nation we
began by declaring that all men
are created equal
I'VE now practically read 1t.
All men are created equal ex-
cept Negroes When the Know
Nothings get control 1t will read.
AL men are created equal ex-
cept Negroes ana foreigners and
Catholics.'
when 1t comes to that
should prefer emigrating to some
country where they make no
pretense of loving liberty-to
Russia, for instance, where des-
potism can be taken pure and
without the base alloy Of hypoc-
risy."

Ora c. Hall, A Leading Negro Dem
ocrat, Comments on the Wilson
Administration.

727 St. Anthony Ave., St. Paul, MINI.
Editor Twin City Star,
My dear sir:-I am under obliga-
tons to you for considering my COM
ment on the national administration
worthy of note. I shall attempt to be
brief.
First of all ! do not stand for any
person or policy in which l do not
see more good than i'll for the Negro.
My vote for Democracy was not in
hope of securing an early change in
the social condition of the Negro, but
rather for his economic advantage.
We are enormous producers of raw
materials-cotton, and consumers of
manufactured articles in which we
have little part in the production. l
want the Negro to sell his cotton in
the highest possible market, and buy
his food, clothes, school books and
lumber in the lowest possible market.
1t means Negro with more money,
better clothes, more wholesome food,
more broadly educated, with more
comfortable homes.
Lift our masses from poverty and
ignorance and we are out of reach of
harm from any presidents social
policy
AS to appointments, it is my opin-
ion that the president will keep his
promises, if he made any, and in due
season nominate several worthy Ne
groes for high positions. That set
of politicians who dare to oppose the
confirmation of Negro nominees will
suffer more than the Negro, for no
party can win in 1916 without a good
portion of the Negro vote.
Again thanking you for your con-
sideration, ! am For the most for
the most of my people.

TASK FOR THE NATIONS.
Ray stannard Bakers Plea For
Human Rrotherhood.

Ray Stannard Baker In re-
cent issue Of the American Mag
azine has the following to say
about prejudice Of one race
against another:
why will men not see that
there can be no true civilization
while any men in the world are
left out of 1t and that no race and
no nation can 60 far forward
while other races and nations
lag behind?
Let the white person again
tread the black person under his
heel! (Say. which is trodden un-
der heel after allD
1T is not enough that we give
the alien nations our learning,
our religion, our science. What
signify all these things? Are
we hurt by giving them? Are
we not, on the contrary, the ma
terial gamers? No; we must be
prepared to go further than that.

fundamental concept Of religion.

The Value of The Christmas Seal.

The State Superintendent of Educa-
ton, Mr. c. G. Schultz, has voiced
the feeling of Educationalists general
ly towards the Christmas Seal COM
paign.
II recognize the educational value
of the Christmas Seal" Said Mr..
Schultz. "It follows the very best
principle of our modern educational
methods by supplying definite thing
to which we can tie the information
we impart. Simple as it is, the
Christmas Seal is the greatest educa-
tional device to spread the knowledge
of tuberculosis, its cause and especial
ly its prevention that has yet been
thought of. To every school child
in our great North Star State the
Christmas Seal brings it's message,
something to understand, someone to
help, great evil to be overthrown.
I wish the Minnesota Public Health
Association every success in its ener-
getic campaign for the Shristmas
Seal and all that the Christmas Seal
means in abolishing this terrible dis
ease from our schools, our homes and
our people. We know the work of
this association in direct education
and what it has done already in other
lines to aid Us in teaching public
health to Our pupils. God speed to
it in this bigger field the teaching
of the whole population how to es-
cape this, our Great White Plauge."
