mitted. These are turned over to an
outside committee With no names at-
tached and the best six of the entire
bunch are selected for the final public

excellence. It is an event of great
interest among the two thousand stu

student has ever before been on the
program. Miss Lola's subject was the
most difficult, "The Spy in War;" and
her place on the program the most
unfavorable, being first Yet she car
ried off one of the prizes and the
colored people of the city are quite
1ubilant over the victory. Lola is

-ThAu111 rana> Dab

The Passing Of Two Able Representa-
tives Of St. Paul for Short Time
They'll Come Back.
Before the next issue of this paper
there will have passed into private
life one of the best representatives
OF the people of the great State of
Minnesota that ever sat in the halls
of our National House of Congress,
and the Honorable Frederick C.
Stevens will have closed eighteen
years of faithful, true, consistent and
efficient service to his constituents.
And while it is regretable that the
state will lose the use of his valuable
services for the next two years, there
is a we'll grounded opinion that the
mistake of last November will be cor
rected at the first opportunity and
Mr.. Stevens will be restored to that
nosition in the House of Representa-
tives which the people in the Fourth
Congressional District Of Minnesota
have determined that no man other
than Fred G. Stevens shall occupy so
long as Mr.. Stevens shall live.
With the passing of Mr.. Stevens on
March will also go Mr.. Fred D. Nc
Graz acken, his faithful and competent
secretary, and the colored people of
Washington and of the country. at
large, will lose a valuable ally and
devotee to every interest of the black
man arising at the seat of our ma
tional government. Not only has Mr..
McCracken performed with faithful
ness tie duties of his position as
secretary, but he has used every
effort, has been ever on the alert to
nut in motion the machinery that
would make for the betterment
against unfair and unjust legislation.
Mr.. McCracken has demonstrated
the fact that competent colored man.
If given an opportunity, can make
good in the filing of extraordinary
positions and prove himself not only
a credit to his employer but also to
the race to which he belongs.
Let us hope that curing the TEN.
porary cessation Of service as Con.
gresham by Mr.. Stevens, further and
greater governmental honors in The
line of employment may be given him
