"7Asis OF SOCIAL STRIFE"

"RAsIs OF SOCIAL STRIFE"
In a recent address before the Sun
day Evening Club, Bishop Charles D.
Williams handed out some straight
goods. We quote three sterling para
graphs:
''Nine-tenths of our social strife
come from trying to know people by
labels or numbers. We require a
great deal more temperance and virtue
from the tramp who comes to the back
door and asks for cold victuals than
we do from the society youth who
comes into the drawing-room and asks
for our daughters hand.
"Think Of the simple Russian, Ger
man and French peasants across the
sea tonight, numbering each other. If
you went through the ranks most of
them wouldn't know what it is all
about. They are doing it just because
some one in authority has labeled the
other fellow-.enemy'
"The secret of nearly all our hatred
and Indifference toward our neigh
bors is because we don't know them.
We are all slaves to names and
titles; we hate to face realities. We
are getting morally color blind to the
finer shades of right and wrong. Often
we are afraid to be alone with our
real selves for fear we should get
acquainted with them.''

The next Biennial will be held at
Baltimore, Nd, in August.
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 it's effects-a wonderful group Of
women showing a remarkable insight

TANGO QUEENS.
The Attraction at the Star Theatre
Next Week.

Theatrical enterprises are about the
only branch of human endeavor
where there is no generation for age,
public demand making it necessary
to keep a little ahead of the times
rather than up to the minute, and it
has been by following this rule that
Harry Hastings Tango Queens" has
maintained superior standing in
the burlesque field. When the "Tango
Queens" comes to the Star theatre
the week of April 30 there will be
presented an array of burlesque,
vaudeville and Extravaganza; there
will be dance numbers as new as the
morning newspaper and including the
different tangos which have sup
planted the animal dances. The or
ganization is headed by the chief of
the fun brigade, Tom Coyne, who
seems to gain in popularity each sea-
son.
Harry Harvey assists Coyne in the
fun-making department and with such
able assistants as Milt frankfort,
Frank Martin, Lena Daley, McGarry
and Revere, Martha Stuart and the
great Egyptian dancer, Princess
Genoa. This assemblage of players
could form splendid entertainment
by merely giving their various vaude-
vile numbers for which they have
attained fame, or with excerpts from
some of the big successes with which
they have been identified. But indi-
vidual cleverness is merely an ad-
junct to the mirthful action of the
comedy in which all revel. The
"Tango Queens" is said to be the
liveliest, whirly-girlie show of the
year; full of pep"

st. Paul and his daughter Florence
resided with him. He was an excep-
tionally fine man in every way and
his funeral last Monday was attended
by the city officials and hundreds of
the best citizens of Saltwater.
Out of respect to the deceased every
barber shop in the city closed from
3 to 5 while the funeral services were
in progress, and every barber was
present. Also a delegation from the
Commercial club. The funeral was
preached by Rev. Palmer of the
Episcopal church and was filled with
encomiums upon the deceased. The
floral tributes were innumerable and
lovely and gave mute but touching
evidence of the high regard in which
the deceased was held by the people
generally.

choir sang very sweetly, abide With

Information from all parts of the

J. Carey, A. NJ, D. D., Phi. D., minister
and warden of the Institutional
Church, Chicago, will be one of the
strongest candidates to come before
the General Conference of the A. M. E..
Church, which meets in Philadelphia
in May That his election is prac.
tically assured is the consensus of
opinion among the we'll informed dele
gates leading preachers and promi-
nent laymen.
DR.. Carey has the Endorsement of
practically every person of promi-
nence in Illinois. The A. M. E. min.
listers are for him to man and have
issued a circular letter in his behalf;
the leading members of the bar,
headed by Edward H. Morris, the
foremost lawyer of the country have
issued printed endorsement; the
leading physicians and surgeons,
headed by DR.. Daniel H. Williams, the
most famous physician and surgeon,
have united in an endorsement, and
men of every profession and calling,
not only in Illinois but in every state
in the union, have endorsed the mill

have it on good authority that DR..
Carey's friends have secured pledges
from enough delegates to make his
election sure.

VOTERS ATTENTION.

On next Tuesday, May End, every
voter in st. Paul will have the priv
ilege of selecting six men to vote for
as cOuncilmen. -...
Every colored voter who has the
uplift and future success of his people
at heart will make his selection very
carefully.
Of the various candidates it may
be truthfully said several have shown
their friendship for the colored
people, but to Mr.. M. N. Goss, the
present Commissioner of Public
Works, belongs the credit of standing
by the courage of his convictions in
appointing colored man as foreman
in his department strictly on his
merit and without regard to color or
race. Would that we had more such
men.
In the past two years Mr.. Goss has
employed many colored men in vari-
GUS branches of paving work as
skilled laborers. Now it's up to you
to show your loyalty and appreciation
by voting for M. N. Goss on next
Tuesday.

March and shook the dust of the

Detective J. G. Black had the case
assigned to him and soon located LIE
Bean at Omaha, and at once wired
Officer Harry Stanley of that city,
who shortly had the expert penman in

Then Detective Black was furnish

week for Omaha, and the requisition
being duty honored by the Governor

day of last week with his man.
LIE Bean was brought before the
District Court and pleaded guilty of
forgery in the third degree and was
sentenced to the penitentiary at Still
water for from one to seven years.
This is a case that showed the ex-
traordinary ability of Officer Black
and he has received numerous COM
pliments upon his success.

N. J. CARR.
Right Man in Right Place.

A great deal of the credit for the
recent investigation of the conditions
at the poor farm that resulted in the
removal of Albert Moore as superin-
tendent and the appointment of Mr..
j. 3. Mcmahon in his stead, is due to
the individual efforts of M. J. Carr, a
member of the Board of County Com
missioners
Mr.. Carr, on a recent visit to the
sanatarium at Walker found a colored
woman inmate, in practically a desti-
tute condition, without proper or suf-
ficient clothing. On his return to St.
Paul he purchased a complete outfit
for the unfortunate woman and sent
to her. These incidents establish the
fact that Mr.. Cars heart is in the
right place and is entitled to the
thanks Of the entire community.
