TASK FOR THE NATIONS.
Ray Stannard Bakers Plea For
Human Brotherhood.

Ray Stannard Baker In a 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 go 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 allO
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.
else we have not learned the
fundamental concept of religion.
1T Is not the great task of any
nation that 1t shall remain pure
or white or learned or that It
shall assure to its posterity the
possession of land and comfort,
though this has been the belief
and the doom Of every aristocra-
cy from the beginning Of time.
The great task Of every ad-
vanced race or nation Is to bring
more love. more light. into the
world. v...-.
"a stand for racial aristocracy

uon and failure; a stand for ra-
cial democracy and brotherhood

AN OPEN LETTER.
Minneapolis, Aug. II, 1915

Minneapolis, Aug. ii, 1915.
To Editor of the Star.
Dear Sir: Please allow me space
to deny the statement made by Mr.. l..
Baker, that the party given at 204 18th
Ave. So, which was raided by the
police, "was given by The Maple Leaf
Club" I want everyone to know that
The Maple Leaf Club has never given
any disorderly dances or house parties.
It's members are respectable men and
the reputation of the socia1s given by
the Club has always been good Re-
Gently there have been many mixed
dances that reflected on our Club. So
much so, that we have not given any
socials in over year. AS president
of The Maple Leaf Club allow me to
say that its members respect women
of every race, who deserve it. Such
"a remark by Mr.. Baker is an insult to
the cultured and refined young people
of this city, whose mothers. although
white, are true and loyal wives. The
male members of our Club are law
abiding and property owners, They
hold some of the most responsible
positions held by Negroes in this city,
and they regret that this disorderly
element has tried TO shield their dirt
under the name of The Maple Leaf
Club, of which I have the honor to be
president.

What does it avail bali club if it
possesses the greatest batsmen in the

the answer is: Nothing.
A good pitching staff is far more
essential to a ball clubs success than
is a wrecking crew of batters. Base
ball records of the past and present
show the truth of that statement.

SEA FIGHT SPOILED FOREVER
At Least SO Far as Being Favorite
Theme for Artists Is
Concerned.

Truman H. Newberry's comments on
our naval equipment serve to remind
us that favorite theme of the artist
the sea battle--is spoiled forever.
Modern vessels fight at from ten to
seventeen miles, if they fight at all,
and thrilling pictures such as Jones,
Perry, Farragut, Nelson and Dewey
have inspired probably will not be
painted again.
Marine warfare has become very
largely matter of hide-and-seek any
way. So far has the gunmaker out
stripped the armorplate builder that
were equally matched vessels to en-
gage. few seconds firing would re-
duce millions of dollars worth of
ships to scrap-iron shambles.
And when the skulking menace OF
the submarine is considered we can
understand how completely the ira
ditions of sea fighting have been up
set.
1t was predicted that modern war
fare on land would be stripped of all
its former aspects, but we are told of
bayonet charges, Of trenches 40 yards
apart. of steel helmets and even of full
suits Of armor being used. Yet on
the sea what destruction has been
wrought has been through methods
far removed from this old-fashioned
stand-up fight through which heroes of
other days won their fame.
