IT PAYS TO ACETATE.

The colored people of the Twin
Cities deserve great credit for the
magnificent fight they put up against
the showing of the pictured. lie, "The
Birth of Nation" They had an
awful hard fight and only secured par
tial success, owing to the technicali-
ties of the law, which worked to the
benefit of the producers.
They, however, succeeded in having
the licenses revoked in both st. Paul
and Minneapolis, and last night saw
the last of the production we most
sincerely hope forever in the Twin
Cities.
We should not be unmindful of the
decision of that eminent jurist, Dis
trict Judge John H. Steele of Mime
apolis, who fearlessly determined the
law upholding Mayor Wallace G.. Nye
in his revocation of the license Of the
Shubert theatre. Everyone does not
know the pressure that was brought
to bear upon Judge Steele to prevent
him from rendering his decision as he
did, and he is entitled to our gratitude
for his sterling manhood. It is quite
gratifying, too, to know that acting
Mayor Henry McColl and the members
of the St. Paul city council voted
unanimously for the revocation of the
license to show the pictures in the
Auditorium, and for this we are truly
grateful.

The Thanksgiving Table

Vegetables can be used for decora-
ton Of the Thanksgiving day dinner
table, making an appropriate adorn-
ment. The centerpiece can be formed
of vegetables piled up in the center Of
the table. Carrots, turnips, parsnips,
sweet and white potatoes, celery tops,
red and a green cabbage, can all be
used if they are scrubbed clean and
wiped dry. Their colors are beautiful,
and if they are neatly mounded and
then edged with border of fresh green
parsley they will be quite effective.
About the centerpiece candlesticks
formed Of vegetables can be grouped.
Big carrots make good candlesticks.
Cut off the big end to make solid
foundation on which these candlesticks
can rest and cut off some of the taper
ing end so that the end left will be
half an inch bigger in diameter than
the candles used. Then scoop out a
little cup to hold the candle.
Cucumbers cut on one side SO that
they will sit solidly on the table, with
a little cup followed in each end, can
be used for holding two candles each.
Turnips, potatoes and parsnips can all
be used. - +.

MIXING THE RACES.

The South, that is the white South Is
not opposed to racial admixture, but
being at heart thoroughly immoral it
insists that the mixing be done in an
illegal manner.
The mixing which has already been
accomplished was started by the white
South. 1t began in the days Of slav-
cry, when the white master forced the
black slave women to bear children.
who followed the condition of their
mothers and became slaves. A few
masters manumitted their half breed
children, but they were the excep-
tons to the general rule. Many mas.
own offspring for sale and in time the
tiers made practice of breeding their
raising of children for the slave mar
kets became a recognized Southern
industry.
Since the abolition of slavery, the
white South, claiming Christ as it's
guiding star, has enacted laws making
Christian marriage a felony, thus d.
rectly aiding immortality. The white
South has in every way endeavored
to humiliate and degrade it's colored
people the majority Of whom have
more or less Caucasian blood.
Search history through; read the
atrocities OF the barbarian invasians
OF the early days, read the barbar-
tiles of the Middle Ages; read of the
1nquisition; read the story of the
French Revolution; read of Russia's
persecution of the Jews; read of CIV
ilized CD Europe's rape of Africa;
read the horrors of the Christians
war now devastating Europe. Add all
OF these together and they will not
equal in blackness what Southern
white people have melted out to their
own sons and daughters to their own
brothers and sisters, who are of a
slightly darker hue.

of the world.

AMERICANS-THAT'S ALL.

For many years it has been the
custom to treat colored people as
aliens, although they are more than
ninety-nine per cent of American
birth; and there is a growing ten
dency among the colored people to
regard themselves as aliens. This is
being encouraged by a class of lead
ers who call themselves Negroes"
and yell about NEGRO Kultur" al
though they have not more than half
and often less than one-eighth of
Negro blood. Such men ought to
stop the Negro" propaganda and be
Americans and demand justice be-
cause they are Americans and not by
the false assertion that they are
Negroes"
They should not have any rights as
Negroes but every right of an
American citizen should be and will
be accorded them, if they fight for
their rights as American citizens by
right of birth.

Baptist Church Last
The people of st. Paul in common
with the people everywhere were
sadly shocked when on last Monday
morning the news came that DR..
Booker T. Washington was dead, for
he had many friends and admirers
here, so arrangements were at once
made by the officers and members of
the ST. Paul branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People,. It was decided to
hold a memorial meeting at Pilgrim
Baptist church on Wednesday morning
at 10 O'Clock, the same hour that the
funeral services of Dr. WASHINGTON
were being held at Tuskegee.
DR.. V. D. Turner, chairman of the
executive board of the Association,
presided.
Seated on the platform were: Rev.
Geo. w. Camp, pastor of Zion Presby-
terrain church; Mr.. w. c. Ames, presi-
dent of the West Publishing Co.; Dr..
T. M. Hodgman, president of Macales-
ter College; Lieut.. Gov. J. A. A. Burn
quist; w. T. Francis, Esq; DR.. S. F..
kerfoot, president of Hamline Uni
versity, and Rev. J. P. Sims, pastor of
st. James A. M. E. church.
Though the meeting had not been
thoroughly advertised, the church was
comfortably filled. Special music was
rendered by volunteer choir under
the direction of Mrs. Addie Crawford
Minor. The choir comprised Mesdames
