in the U. S. until the public clamored
for it, and then in fairness to all he
permitted 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.
AS was said of the immortal Lin
coin, Mayor Nye "Wears honor with
out pride, and wields power without
oppression"
A vote for Mayor Nye means a
vote for a continuance of living in a
conservative, we'll governed and pros
porous City.

The City of Minneapolis, with its
$4,000 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; 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
agernent 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-
affable 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

ION TO BALTIMORE"
From the Department of the Pres.
National Association of Colored
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 a.
Baltimore, Nd, in August. Mrs
Washington presiding.
This meeting bids fair to be the
most interesting in the history of the
Association. The meeting in 1912 al
Hampton was intensely interesting
and inspiring; that at Wilberforce in
1914 was wonderful and far reaching
in its effects - wonderful group oi
women, showing a remarkable insight
in the philosophy of life and demon
strating a constructive ability which
portends wonderful results in the mex
few years.
"On to Baltimore" Is the slogan o.
every race organization of women
and where the women are the mer
will likewise be found.
BY courtesy of the editor I shall
from time to time issue information
through the columns of this paper
relative to the great Biennial at Bal
timore In August.

SONClHOE.
James A. Peterson of MINNEAPOLIS
is 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 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 a citizen.

Walker Dry Goods Company of St.
Louis; l.. l.. VanderVoort OF this
city, and f. M. Sprasue, travelling
representative of Swift & Co., with
his headquarters in this city, have
associated themselves together in a
partnership and purchased from
Richard jackson twelve hundred
acres of fine unimproyed land in
Cache bottoms, the consideration be
ing $4,000. The land lies in
Cache river drainage district No. |,
and is regarded as one of the most
fertile tracts in Cache bottoms. 1t
is stated the new purchasers intend
to develop the tract by clearing off
the remaining timber and opening
the land to cultivation.
The fact that st. Louis capitalists
are investing their money in Greene
county lands is another evidence OF
the promising future that lies be
fore this immediate section of Ar
kansas. There are thousands OF
acres of virgin soil in this county
that could be made as productive
as the famed delta lands of the Mis-
sissippi if little capital is employ
ed in development work. Greene
countians welcome the investment
of outside capital not only in rea
estate, but in industrial CONNER
cial and manufacturing fields O
activity and they trust the st

money in Cache bottom lands viii
be so favorably impressed with theil
investment that they will enlarge

sian front north of Roumania is
quiet, though the Russian losses
there in the summer offensive We're
greater than the German, French
and English losses on the west front
combined. These offensives have
decided nothing except that Russia
appears to have ineXhaustible re-
sources in men.
On the Isonzo the Italians made
nine offensiVes and won Goritza, but
nothing more. In Macedonia the
sacrifices of the allies have Melted
nona8tir for the Serbians, but the
entente paid more than a common
surate price for it in men killed,
including losses to the expedition
at sea. If this could assist Rou-
mania it would be of value, but it
cannot. The German fronts are
now so Independent of each other
that Falkenhayn and Mackensen can
advance regardless of developments
elsewhere.
There is no question that the
most decisive event in the war in
the six months just passed was not
the defeat of Roumania, but the fact
that Germany was able to put in the
field two such overwhelming ar
mics as those of Falkenhayn and
MackenSen to assume the offensive
against a fresh enemy along 500
miles of new front, and this was at
a time when all the world believed
Germany was exhausted, and when
the entente powers were striking
hardest on the Somme, in Russia
and in Macedonia. 1t upset all
strategic processes.
Instead of Roumania's entry into
the war opening the way to Buda-
pest and ConstantinOple, as enthu-
siastic entente prophets declared, il
has moved these goals away, open
ed the way to a vulnerable spot in
the Russian defense, and enabled
Hindenburg to move the decisive
field from the west front, where
the entente is strongest, to the
east, where the entente is weakest

Berlin, Dec. 1.---Twenty-eig
months of war are coming to an
end with a rose-colored tinge on
the horizon, which the optimists
believe to be the first shimmerings
of the dawn of peace, but which
may be only the reflection from the
last months of bloodshed ON Eu
ropes battlefields. Never before i'll
history has there been such a holo-
caust as since June l, and the per-
iod will forever be scarlet page of
history.
Exact figures may never be avail
able, but it is estimated that l.
006, 900 casualties a month, or a
total of 100000 is the price hui
manity has paid for the war on the
Somme, at Verdun, in Russia, on the
Isonzo river, in Macedonia and in
Roumania, to say nothing of the
minor zones of war in Egypt, the
Caucasus and Mesopotamia and in
actions at sea.
OF these figures it is believed O.
100000 represent the men who
have been killed in battle or nave
died from wounds or disease. Then
comes the terrible destruction of
farms, villages and cities to swell
the staggering total of the wars
cost.
Yet, except in Roumania, the war
has made no progress. The terri
BILE onslaughts on the Somme cost
100000 in casualties; but they
decided nothing except that the
German west front could not be
broken.
1t is now quieter there, but that
is no proof that the British and
French may not again return to
their bloody and useless task. The
same is true of the struggle at Yer
dun, which has been given up en-
tirely. For the time being the Rus
