MONTGOMERY's NEW PAPER.

The Advocate, edited by R. B.
Montgomery of Milwaukee, the
itinerant publisher of Special Edi-
tons; is filling the usual "1ong felt
want" in the Twin Cities. We well
come this competitor, only because it
serves several disgruntled persons,
who did not approve of the policy of
the Editor of the Star. We believe
that many of those of the underworld
who wish social prominence should
have medium of publicity. We have
during past five years won the respect
of the white readers of The Star, be-
cause>~we haNe--not- posed as, an
object of poverty or pity, but ran this
publication as a business proposition

us to their advantage. We respect
the police department. but do not
truckle to them because we fear them.
Montgomery is here a short while
but he has made himself nuisance
around the Capitol and City Halls,
where he represents the old p1anta-
ton darby He has been here sew
erai times before and is now under the
ban of The Civic and Commerce
Commi ssion. He has lived in buffet

Miss, the founder of the Negro
town.
The Editor of the Star is endorsed
by the Civic and Commerce Associa-
tions, The Judiciary and Clergy, and
best citizens of both races. We do
not annoy office holders for write
ups-or do those things that cause
Negro newspapers to be considered a
menace, but try to have white people
realize that some Negroes conduct
their business affairs along honorable
lines. Those who have never paid for
the Star can now find another home
paper in the Advocate. May Editor
Montgomery (?) continue to "get the
money from the white folks" but it
would surely reflect greater credit on
himself and more honor to his race.
if he did it with intelligence and man
hood. The Editor of the Advocate is
too we'll known for further comment.
The Advocate speaks we'll for the
Star-comparative1y speaking.

PROBE TALE OF BOUNDING BY
POLICE AND POLITICIANS

Further questioning of Samuel
Grant will be undertaken by States
Atty HOyne and his assistants to-
day. If Grants story is to be believed
it exposes one of the most vicious
case of police and political persecu-
ton ever brought to light.
Grant says he has been framed on
and bounded by the police because
he refused to lie in the trial of Capt.
StOren and Mike Weisbaum. He says
Atty Charley Erbstein and Mike
Weisbaum visited him at his home
three weeks before the trial and
tried to get him to appear for the
accused policemen. Upon the adj
vice Of his atty, B. G. Bachrach, he
refused to appear or sign an affidavit
they presented to him.
Five weeks ago, Grant says, he was
taken to Erbstein's Office and there
told that Harry Green and Jake Sc
VelsOn had lined up with Erbstein and
Pat O'DOnneu and they wanted him
to sign an affidavit that the testimony
of IZZy Wexler in the Storen trial
was false. He was told, he claims,
that he would be taken care Of. as
