Warm Against Optimism.

Berlin, May 1.-Discussion over the
answer to the American note con-
tlnued Sunday at great headquarters,
without a conclusion being reached,
according to advices to the Lokal
Anzeiger
Newspapers, for the most part, still
refrain from comment. Theodor
Wolff Of the Tagesblatt, George Bern
hardt in the Vossissche Beitung.
Count Won Reventlow in the Tages-
Zeitung, and the Taglissche Rund
schau, however, give consideration to
the subject. Herr Bernhardt considers
the situation still grave, and voices
a warning against too great optimism.
He declares that the final decision
"depends solely" on President Wilson.

1t was that evening that Elsie told

TaIman was the first to start max
ing game of Sanders. Sanders was
an average little man of the type that
is met everywhere. But the town was
small enough for everybody to see
everybody else several times a day
and the hot Texan summer makes
men irritable or malicious, according
to their natures.
Sanders didn't drink or smoke, and
he wouldn't fight. The last crime was
the deadliest. 1t was shown in this
way: TaIlman had invited Sanders
to join him at the saloon; Sanders
refused, and Tallman called him the
sort of name no self-respecting man
takes. Sanders turned white, but he
didn't strike TaIlman. That was

belle of the place. Every man was
supposed to have proposed to her at
one time or another. TaIlman, how
ever, was accredited with a leading
share in her capricious heart. She
had been interested in Sanders be-
cause he was a new face, but Tall
mans friends had recoUnted the cpl
sode. Every one knew that little San
ders was infatuated with the beauty,
and they laughed at it, laughed at
the simplicity of the little man. Hell
get his quietus soon," they said.
He did, when he was escorting Miss
Elsie from church. Tallman stepped
out of the building moment after
Sanders had given the girl his arm.
What do you mean by bUtting
in?" he demanded. Miss DUval has

in the u. S. until the public clamored
for it, and then in fairness to all he
permitted a board composed of 100
citizens to censor the picture; out of
100 citizens 81 voted for the picture
to be shown, although previously un-
favorably censored by Mayor Nye and
which proved a financial fiasco to
the local promoters. The picture,
though absurd and untrue, caused us
to experience no i'll effect for its
having been shown.
We should not want special favors
at the expense of others; all we
should desire is just what Mayor Nye
has attempted to accord us-impar-
tial treatment, and an enjoyment of
Our civil and human righs.

The City of Minneapolis, with it's
350000 inhabitants has been honored
in the past 3H years by having for
the chief executive the honorable
Wallace G. Nye. To govern a city of
this size is no small matter; to please
every one is beyond human possibil-
tiles, no matter how fairly and adroit-
ly he may have managed the affairs
of the city we expect some dissatis-
faction However; I believe the
majority of the fair and liberal
minded public will agree, that we
have, during Mayor Nye's tenure of
office; enjoyed a sane and fair man
agement of municipal affairs. He has
been the peoples Mayor in words,
deeds, and actions. The most insig-
nificent citizen, irrespective of ma
tionality or political affiliation, can al
ways secure an audience with Mayor
Nye, and be assured just and af-
affab1e treatment. Mayor Nye took
the most drastic stand against the
showing the film "The Birth of a
Nation" his condemnations of this
picture was greater than any mayor

Governor.
James A. Peterson of Minneapolis
is a candidate for the Republican
Nomination for Lieut.. Governor. He
is native of Wisconsin and a law
yer of recognized ability. He has
practiced law in Minneapolis nearly 80
years. Mr.. Peterson has always
shown his friendship for the Negro
race. He has not objected to them
residing in respectable localities if
they are respectable.
He does not believe in segrega-
ton or racial discrimination, and is an
advocate for Equal rights for ALL"
Atty. Peterson was one of the cam
didates for Governor in 1914. He did
not get the nomination, but supported
Hon. w. E. Lee, the nominee of the
Republican party. He recently with
drew from the field of candidates for
Governor, and sought the position of
Lieut.. Gov. This is a most important
position, requiring executive ability
and integrity. Ex. Gov. Eberhart and
Our present Gov. Burnquist, were
called to the executive chair to fill
unexpired terms, and it is important
that the people of Minnesota elect
as Lieut.. Governor a man, able to
fill the highest office.
Hon. James A. Peterson is the
logical candidate for the position he
seeks. He knows the resources,
needs, and opportunities of Mime
sofa and as presiding officer of the
Senate; he would maintain, that har-
monious organization necessary for
the advancement of Minnesota's in
terests, regardless of party lines,
mindful of the progress of Our great
State and his duty as citizen.

From the Department of the Pres.

Women's Clubs.
Easily, the greatest forward race
movement of the age is the National
Association of Colored Women's
Clubs, and the leading spirit among
them the President; Mrs. Booker T.
Washington. Emerging from the
gloom which has recently enveloped
her, she has apparently re-consecra-
ted her life to the uplift of the race,
and by her helpful messages of encour-
agement to club leaders all all over
the country is inspiring officers, de-
partment heads and members to a
greater activity than ever before been
evinced in the work.
The next Biennial will be held at
Baltimore, Md, in August. Mrs
Washington presiding.
This meeting bids fair to be the
most interesting in the history of the
Association. The meeting in 1912 at
Hampton was intensely interesting
and inspiring; that at Wilberforce in
1914 was wonderful and far reaching
in its effects - wonderful group OF
women, showing a remarkable insight
in the philosophy of life and demon
strating a constructive ability which
portends wonderful results in the next
few years.
"On to Baltimore" is the slogan oi
every race organization of women
and where the women are the mer
will likewise be found.

was decided to increase the price of
oysters 10 per cent, at a conference
held here today by the Oyster Dealers
and Growers association Of America.
Some of the delegates favored a much
greater advance, pointing out that it
was justified by large increase in
the cost Of production and that the
oyster was the only food commodity
that had not advanced in price during
the last ten years.

Once Too Often---Negro Sent

in Hopkinsville.

James Diuguid, a negro whom the
police term as "a diplomatic thief,"
was taken back to his home in Hop
kinsville, KY, last night by Officer
Hawkins of that place to stand trial on
charge of grand larceny.
The police claim Diuguid is a tact
full negro. He was caught twice late
at night Sinking around Evansville
homes and when approached by a
police officer, the negro fell down on
the doorsteps and apparently was
sound asleep.
The second time he was caught
sleeping on a doorstep after an officer
had seen him standing upright a
moment before, he was taken to
headquarters and presented to Judge
Fritch in city court on a charge of
vagrancy. He was sentenced to the
county Jail and this brought about the
fact that he was wanted at Hopkins
