CRAP GAMES MUST GO.

We have fought long and hard
campaign for the interest of Negro
womanhood and especially directed
our attack on the Twin City Stag
Club, where young girls we'll known
in society frequented. There was a
crap game connected with that club
and still remains but the women are
eliminated. We received much
criticism from the better element, the
Federated Women,s Clubs refused to
aid the crusade and the clergy lent
little support to Our efforts. Stewart,
the proprietor is in financitl straights,
when he could have made money with
his place, one of the best ever fur
nished and operated by Negro.
Shull was immune from our attack be-
cause he had no women in his place.
Now that Craps has so disturbed the
social unrest caused by the recent
raid-we serve notice on all clubs that
we have opened up Campaign
against Craps. 1t has become the
opinion of the authorities that Craps
are necessary to the club life of Ne
gro. The Star refuses to agree-and
hopes to show to the best white peo-
pie that crap games, Chose run as
openly as the 500 National Bank), are
the destruction of our race. They
are tolerated with other less de-
moralizing privileges granted clubs.
They get their revenue from the
working man and the only persons
who lives as players of the game are
the vagrant and vicious clement
Such games are framed to run in a
hole in a wall and not in a public
club. They bring all elements upon
equal basis and do not permit of any
class distinction. 1t must be con-
sidered that clubs are permitted to
run because they afford the con-
veniences for patrons denied other
places. White men are not allowed
to ented or play in clubs. The best
crap game is the drawing card-yet
people have to go to these places for
other amusement and refreshment. 1t
is Social problem of vast importance.
We do not and cannot depend on the
leading citizens for support. We have
tried and failed. We go alone. Our
olumns will not be devoted to it's news
or gossip, if we can secure results,
we shall be proud, if not, we shall
have done our duty. Clean-up-week
begins soon. "Clean up craps" must
never stop.

good citizen to advance the races.
We know about the "clubs" of every
nationality. They have all adopted
the crap game as their special feature,
and they are simply crap joints. But
many of our influential citizens want
to place all Negroes together and they
must say "a good crap game will keep
them ALL together" if that is es-
sential for unity, then God save our
future.

Look Ahead.

There are some persons who ride
all through the journey Of life with
their backs to the horses head. They
are always looking into the past. They
are forever talking about the good old
times and how different things were
when they were young. There Is no
romance In the world now, and no
heroism. The very winters and sum-
mers are nothing to what they used to
b. In fact, life Is altogether on
small, commonplace scale. Now. that

the fresh new mercies that the day
keeps bringing. Exchange.

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie II. Burroughs.

Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part of
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the, standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
As with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He Is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another.
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is a combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are therefore, the freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their "gang'
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into a magazine of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble.
What we need is new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered.

Negro Club Privileges.

There is no reasonable argument
that Negro club privileges should not
be tolerated as we'll as the white clubs
viz: Athletic, Elks, Minnesota, Moose,
Eagles, etc. These have only state
charters and NO licenses. Are they
molested? Do not the members OF
these clubs often sit as grand jurors!
Is the police department censured for
their existence? Do they show any
evidence of graft. If such privileges
are necessarily granted, why are they
not legalized by the passage OF a law
to permit the sale Of liquor? The
Negro is not different from other men,
so far as their social customs are con-
cerned, but they suffered the denial
of public service, because of prejudice
and discrimination. The Star has al
ways condemned GAMBLING, and
has defended the sale of liquors be-
cause of the refusal of the authorities
to grant saloon licenses to Negroes
as same as to whites. There is but
one saloon among our people, which
is operated by Kid Mitchell, and it
is creditably conducted.
It was we'll enough for every office
seeker to come among the Negro vo-
tiers to endorse club conditions and
get their votes, and when the "blow-
off" comes, many want to blame the
Mayor. Yes there is GRAFT, but not
financial graft. It is the political
prafters, who always sanction these
clubs, and they never appear before
grand juries to advise their action in
such matters. The grand jury of Hen
nepin Co. is becoming farce. We
have followed its meetings since the
famous Col. Dodson adventure and
there has not been any constructive
results obtained so far as vice regula-
ton. They act on the information
given by some persons, who have not
a leg to stand on.
Any good citizen should be given a
hearing before them, but it is with
them to use, good judgment as to the
character and motive of the informer
and the effect of their action. 1t can
be easily shown that every Negro
who has recently caused any arrests
by the grand jury has done so by rea-
son Of. vengence. Atty. Franklin has
been shown up in these columns, also
the discharged detective Hardin, who
was unmasked and "broke by the Star
The washing of the family linen o.
both of these impostors will reveal
their character. Franklin was presi'
dent of a club, which sold liquor and
he was the cause of its failure.
The Twin City Star always led
fight for the protection of women ant
do not think they should be deniet
privileges of real clubs. They have thu
same social customs as the white
women who patronize white clubs. Thu
gambling feature should be eliminated
BY every person who runs club
whether he be white or black. 1t Il
sickening to hear that whenever
bunch Of the boys get together there
Is going to be little "crap game.
