POLICE TO "CLEAN UP"

Mayor Nye has made several
changes among the officials of the
police department and has ordered a
"clean up. We commend his action.
These officials need no special in
formation as to Negro resorts. We
hold no brief for the clubs, but will
saw that they exist under the same
federation granted the leading white
clubs. None have licenses, but enjoy
special privileges. We do say, that
the buffet flats are the real dens of
crime. There are private joints,
where criminals hang out. They are
never seen in clubs or public places,
and since these places have become
so numerous, the police are at great
disadvantage. Tho they are entirely
responsible for these conditions;
they can do much to rid the city Of
these nuisances. Since the clubs
were closed at night, Ga good regula-
ton strictly enforceO there are pri-
vate places we'll known, where gamb-
ling and adultery are the special
features. Many Negro women are
sufferers because their husbands fire.
uuent these joints for immoral rela-
tons with women, especially with
white women. We commend honor
able relations between the races, but
condemn these "white bait" hiding
places "for Negro men only" 1t is
the duty of the police to clean up
and any action along this line will be
a blessing to Negro mothers and
wives, as we'll as to their race and
the community of which they are an
integral part.

A REAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper isn't simply bare
chronicler of events. 1t is PERSONAL
ity. 1t comes into your house almost
as a member of your family.
What sort of a person do you like
to have visit you?
He ought to be honest, courageous,
no hypocrite, and gentleman, with
real interest in you, ready to lend
a hand if you need help. Cheerful
ness and good humor are excellent
qualities, and a wide range of inter-
ests.
What do you find in the Twin City
Star?
1t has opinions, of course, and it
speaks them out freely. They are its
own and they are not influenced by
outside interests. The square deal is
its platform.
In handling news it observes the
decencies and amenities of life. It
never wantonly brings shame or sor-
row to any home. Its advertisements
are clean.
If the TWIN CITY STAR does not
bring you something of interest in
any particular issue, it has failed by
so much that week. 1t takes off its
hat and apologies for having bored
you as a visitor.
But it trusts this doesn't often hap
pen. Not often, does it?
Now: Subscribe for it, and pay for
it.

ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOL-
LOW.

The Twin City Star, which has been
considered as the leading Negro
newspaper of the Progressive Party,
and an enthusiastic supporter of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his
policies, continues to follow his lead.
We heartily accept the advice of
Americas greatest citizen, and will
support the regular presidential nom-
inee of the Republican National Con-
vention, Hon. Chas. Z. Hughes, and
do what we can for the success of the
Republican ticket We are not in
accord with the entire platform of the
party. The suffrage question, as
States Rights measure, will not give
the Negro women of the South
right to vote. We are against any
program giving a State a right to
override the Constitution. We had
hoped to see some plank in its plat
form recommending legislation to
make 'Lynching a Federal Crime"
We cannot get our constitutional
rights under State Sovereignty, and
must rely on Federal legislation and
enforcement for our protection. The
Republican party has done more for
us than any other party and we must
overcome it's evils with it's good; still
contending for right and protesting
against wrong-believing in Divine
Providence and thankful that Col.
Roosevelt has accomplished his ulti-
mate purpose, which was also his
prophecy-that he would drive out of
the Republican party, those who cor
rupted the principles of the party.
We regret the loss of a friend, of
cur race on the Supreme Bench, by
the resignation of Justice Hughes
which gave Pres. Wilson an oppor-
tunity to appoint Democrat-and
fate may decree that by his appoint
ment we may have a Justice White
or Justice Harlan. Though Demo-
Gratis they were honest Interpreters
of the law and spirit of the Consti-
tuition. 1t is up to the Negro to be
loyal to himself and the door of hope
will soon open to him. We have
awaited orders and willingly obey the
requests of Col. Roosevelt who led
II -
and we return to the Republican
ranks under the same leadership and
convictions. Let the slogan be
"Hughes and Fairbanks must win"
and now that the Progressives have
accomplished their purpose, we ex-
pect a large following, and a return
to the Grand Old Party, for it's Sue
cess in November next.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A VOTE

The vote of Hon. Phil. H. Brown,
elected Col A. T. Hert as chairman
of the Republican State Committee OF
Kentucky. Brown is Negro and is
secretary of this Committee. The
vote was a tie and he voted for Col.
A. T. Hert, who has been placed
over strong opposition, in charge of
the Republican Headquarters at Chi
cago. Should Mr.. Hughes be elected,
Col. Hert may accept position in
his Cabinet. Mr.. Brown is a national
character in Republican politics, also
editor of the Hopkinsville, KY. News.
He is loyal, intelligent and courage
Gus. In reply to much criticism he
said, 81 wear no mans ring in my
nose" The recognition given Col.
Hert, by the National Campaign Com
mittee, shows that this deciding vote
met with their approval. 1t is les
son to our white leaders, that it pays
to respect the Negro as political
factor, and it is encouraging to know
that there are many Negroes, who
will, when called upon, cast their
ballot for the best interests of their
party and their race.

SHOULD BIG (?) NEGROES BE
EXPOSED?

Many of Our race are of the opin-
ion that our "Big" Negroes should
not be exposed. Real "big" Negroes
are real men; who cannot be dis
honorably exposed. These supposed
big(O Negroes are the curse of their
race. We have not sought to give
publicity to many unpleasant happen
ings within the homes-and cannot
lose time in investigation, but it is the
duty of the press to reveal the truth
in every instance, for the information
and protection of the public at large.
Many big(O Negroes are social evils
preying upon their women and chill
dren under cover Of personal prom
inence and race representation 1t is
often said that eve can't afford to
show ourselves up, let the white folks
do that" Such expressions by the
ignorant members of our race and
fear on the part of newspaper pub
fishers has led the big(O Negro to
believe himself above suspicion and
immune from public exposure. The
Star does not delight in the sensa-
tiona1 or use "scare heads" to bring
to notice any unpleasant news matter,
We often regret any notice given
persons of the lower element. They
deserve a helping hand to a higher
life, rather than drastic censure; but
we have neither sympathy nor sor-
row for publicity given the person
ighest-up-whether man or woman.
who is believed to be an honor, but
when exposed, is proven to be men,
ace to their race. They are the bea-
con lights for Our rising generation,
and when they fail to maintain that
high standard expected of them, they
should be relegated to class where
they belong. We are considered
radical, but when we reflect on the
many chances to expose men and
women in the highest walks Of life,
we feel that we have been ultra-con-
servative. We have had wrong opin-
ions of the policies and practices of
men in public life, and have always
made amends-but we will never hes
itate to publish any article-simply be-
cause the big(O Negro is concerned
Our purpose for such publicity is
more to point moral, than to adorn
a tale.

SUPPORT RACE CONGRESS.
Coming Meeting of Equal Rights
Ieaque to Be Important Event.

The call OF the National Equal Rights
league for q congress Of cOlOred Amer
lean citizens, to be held at an early
date In the fall. is move in the right
direction. True. there have been dis
tressing periods Of racial existence, up
risings in national and state affairs
which have threatened our citizenship,
and In many states the rights Of the
colored citizens in almost every line Of
activity have been denied or curtailed.
but there never was time more i'm
portant in which the race should act as
a unit than the present.
Segregation. Iynchings and other
forms Of injustice against the colored
people are unchecked. No attempt, so
It seems, is made by the national ad-
ministration either to ascertain the
leaders Of mobs or to bring such muir
derers, If known, to trial. The race
must take its cause into its own hands
not as frebrands, disturbers of the
peace or as bomb thrOwers, but as
peaceable citizens demand in the name
Of the strong arm Of the federal law
the protection which it guarantees to
citizens Of the United States.
The proposed race congress should
be grand success. 1t will be open to
all persons Of thought and action who
believe in fair play. 1t is not hedged
In by any political fences. The sug-
gestion has been made by prominent
business and professional men and
women and concurred in by the league
that citizens equal rights committees
be formed in every community and
that these committees elect and send
delegates to the race congress.
All churches, secret, benevolent and
civic organizations are also earnestly
requested to send representatives to
the proposed meeting, time and place
Of which will be published in the daily
and weekly papers. The Waco (Tex.)
lynching is still fresh in the public
mind, and so are segregation jimcrow
car horrors about which no legal steps
by those elected by the people to pro,
tect their lives and property have been
taken.

time minister to Spain, said in an ad-

MAINTENANCE OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS.

Had this government by the
use Of both informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said "strict
accountability" we meant pre-
ciseIy what we said and that we
should unhesitatingIy vindicate
that position am confident
that there would have been no
destruction Of American lives by
the sinking Of the Lusitania.
There we had ample notice-in
fact, published notice. Further
more, we knew the situation, and
we did not require specific no.
tice. Instead Of whiting away
our formal statements by equiv
ocaI conversations, we needed
the straight, direct and decisive
representations which every dip
Iomat and foreign office would
understand. ! believe that in
this way we should have been
spared the repeated assaults on
American lives. Moreover, a firm
American policy would have been
strongly supported by our people
and the opportunities for the de-
velopment of bitter feeling would
have been vastly reduced-From
