What This Vast Work Contains

When II Is said that the new Eleventh
Edition OF the Encyclopaedia Britannica Is
the most exhaustive summary OF human
knowledge ever prepared, In single work.
this carries little suggestion OF Its vast range.
II does not help much TO say that Il contains
forty-one thousand different articles.
To take q few Of Its divisions. On Art,
Architecture and Music there is total OF
2937 different articles; on Chemistry BAT;
on Languages and Writing 2S5; on Medicine
and Surgery GA.
The Britannica is a splendid atlas, and
the total Of its articles on Geography reaches
1884. The number OF articles on the
History Of Nations Is 6202; on the different
literatures Of the world Abs.
A5struse subjects like Philosophy and
Psychology roll up total Of 643 articles; Re-
ligion and Theology 3O49; Mathematics 1853
Sports and Pastimes show total OF 264
articles; Law and Political Science 1902,
Engineering 40; Economics and Social
Science 400.
Needless to say all the separate sciences
are covered as completely as II you had
separate text books for each; and In far
more compact and readable form. Biology,
the science of life, has total of 1886 arti-
cles; Geology, earth knowledge, total OF
740; Physics 2S5; Anthropology and Eth
nology, covering all our knowledge OF man
upon the earth, 1853 articles.
II lisa highly practical work. Industries
and Occupations are covered In 54b different
articles Military and Naval subjects in 800;
Education in l72; Archaeology and Antiqui-
ties In 1871.
Just the mere text OF the new Eleventh
Edition, printed In ordinary type would
make three or four hundred volumes OF
average book size; and at dollar and a
half volume this would mean they would
cost at least four or five hundred dollars
that's, nearly ten times what the Britannica
may be had for IN the new Handy Vol
ume" Issue.
But this does not nearly tell the story.
You could not 90 to the biggest bookstore
in the world and buy any thousand volumes,
on all these separate subjects and get any.
where near as complete and serviceable a
working library as the 20 volumes OF the
new Britannica. Many Of its articles are Of
considerable length, 80 and 100 pages and
more but the most OF them are crisp, clear
summaries telling the average person pre-
cisely what he or she wishes TO know on
any given subject.
The new Eleventh Edition is in fact miracle Of
compression and cnmpactnesn, as u is Of complete.
ness and authority. II is not merely the product Of
the greatest Of living minds, but every page Of has
been boiled down 10 give the utmost service 10 the

SOME HOPEFUL SIGNS.

1t is encouraging to notice that so
many Negro laborers are employed
on contract work. They are work
ing on buildings, laying asphalt and
digging sewers. They are holding
responsible positions as janitors and
porters. chauffeurs and teamsters
Many avenues of employment are
open, and it is certainty that Ne
groes can and yill do other worI
than, wait on table" or run on the
railroad" The women are also max
ing opportunities for themselves
They are willing workers and are
classed as preferred help. A great
portion of these menial laborers are
wearing "the ragged jacket" but
they are buying homes and rearing
children, earning an honest living and
contributing to posterity. They are
the moulders of the future and the
makers of the race.

HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
He Would Be First to Accord to Labor
All Rights Found just After
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made It plain that he was not attack
ing labor or the equity Of the pro-
posed increase Of wages for the rail-
road men. He was simply contending
for the all important principle Of arbi-
tration as the right means Of settle
ment Of such questions. Speaking at
different places In Maine Mr.. Hughes
dwelt upon this question, saying:
Il deeply deplore. In the name Of
labor, in the name Of justice. in the
name Of American ideals, the surren-
der Of the Executive and Of Congress
to force. instead Of permitting reason
to reign.
"The measure to which have allud-
ed was not, properly speaking. an
eight-hour measure. 1t was q wage
measure. 1t was a plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. l do
not speak OF the equity Of that. That
Is a matter to be fairly considered. !
want what is just and right with re-
spect to wages. 1 am for the arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement of
these industrial controversies. We
can settle everything in this country
If we approach those matters with a
fair and open mind and an examina-
ton of the facts.
This particular measure shows on
its face that it was legislation in ad
vance Of the investigation. instead Of
investigation In advance Of legisla-
ton. 1t is said that there was In its
favor the judgment Of society. The
judgment Of society in this country
has never been passed In favor of leg
islation without knowledge of the equi-
ty and regardless Of the facts of the
case. There was no judgment of So
ciety in favor Of the roads which were
excepted from it's provisions. II there
was a judgment Of society. why not ap-
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
Of roads or roads less than 100 miles
in length? say, away with such pre-.
tense! 1t was a surrender to force in
stead Of a clear, candid, faithful franz
ed examination Of the facts. and then
action in accordance with American
principles.
"Autocracy represents force; tyran-
ny represents force. Democracy rep
resents the rule of the common judg-
ment after discussion. after an oppor-
tunity to know the facts"

THE PARTY LABEL.

1t is hardly necessary to state that
the Negro vote will go to Mr..
Hughes, because Negroes have been
consistent Republicans. They cannot
support Mr.. Wilson, because of his
Segregation of Negro employees
and his catering to Southern senti-
ment, which is anti-Negro. But
there are many good men in the DEM
ocratic party who are our friends.
Some are in office and their record on
Negro questions stands on par with
their Republican colleagues. 1t is
more a matter of sectionalism than
partisanism. The Northern Demo-
crat is often preferred to the South
ern Republican. Notwithstanding
that we want to increase our Repub-
lican strength in both branches of
Congress; we should not follow the
label and. vote for a candidate, who
is tagged as Republican and repudi-
ate a present office holder, tho a
Democrat, who is on record as being
for equal rights for all Americans. DR..
Cyrus Northrop, supporter of Pres.
Taft, said that "if Mr.. Wilson proves
to be a good president, he would sup
port him for reelection" DR.. North
rup is for Mr.. Hughes. We, as Ne
gro voters, must put the character
and record of the candidate above any
Dartv label.

ROOSEVELT LEADS, WE FOL-
LOW,

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. E. 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 a
States Rights measure, will not give
the Negro women of the South a
right to vote. We are against any
program giving State 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 its evils with its 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 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
rs into the Progressive Party in 1912,
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 its sue
cess in, November next.

DR.. HARVEY W. WILEY
TO VOTE FOR HUGHES
Hs Says Wilson Has Failed to Enfere'
Pure Food Law.

II favor the election Of Mr.. Hughes
to the Presidency for entirely different
reasons than those held by most Of bis
supporters. 1t is not because Of the
Mexican policy nor the foreign policy
Of the administration nor by reason OF
it's domestic policies. 1t is because of
the apparent indifference Of the admin
istration of President Wilson to the
cause Of pure foods and drugs. Prac.
tically all of the abuses which were
injected into the pure food law by the
preceding ADMINISTRATIONS are still In
force Benzoate Of soda is still reg
are marching along undisturbed. There
Is evidently a lull in the activities Of
the administration of the law. A well.
known beverage. declared by the su.
preme court misbranded and amenable
to the food law has not been molested
No attempt has been made to enforce
the law in regard to the bleaching Of
-four. The repeal Of the mixed -four
law, that splendid safeguard to the
purity of our bread. has been tacitly
approved by the treasury department.
"Mr. Hughes in his activities on the
supreme court has stood like a stone
wall for the proper administration Of
the food law. believe his election
would see radical change in the atti-
tude Of the government towards pure
food and pure drugs. so vital to the
welfare Of our people For this reason
I sincerely hope that Mr. Hughes may
be chosen as our next president
II should expect Mr.. Hughes as pres
ident to have the same attitude toward
the pure food and drug law that he had
as a Judge on the bench and to appoint
a secretary Of agriculture with subor
dinate officers who would be enthusi
astic and earnest in the enforcement
Of the pure food law for the benefit Of
the physical. mental and moral vel
fare of our people"

QUESTIONABLE COLLECTORS
SOLICIT CHURCH FUNDS.

Complaints are general that Ne
gro newspapermen are collecting for
churches and appropriating it for per-
sonal use. The Editor of the Star
has never collected any finances, for
any organization or individual, ex
cept the Trotter testimonial. Those
have been forwarded and their receipt
acknowledged. No one identifie,
with this publication has made an,
solicitations or collections other than
for advertisements in these columns
There is a local Negro paper, The
National Advocate, whose editor (O
Mr.. R. B. Montgomery, formerly O.
Milwaukee, is an authority on suct
work. He served a few years in the
State Prison at Waupon, Wis, for
collecting money to build Catholic
church for Negroes-and worked a
collection game in this city for a
Southern school in connection with,
Rev. Butler, former local Methods,
minister. An ex-preacher, w. S. Ma
lone, is on the Advocate staff. HI
was recently extradited to Iowa for
embezzling the funds of an A. M. E
Church, and is commonly known as a
menace to the community. Mr.. Phil.
F. Hale, who calls himself "a leading
citizen" is one of the Advocates gang.
He has lived here many years and
holds record for consecutive failures
and immoral associations.
The venerable editor J. @. Adams
of the St. Paul Appeal, is above sus-
picion. We noticed an article some
time ago in the daily press, in which
Rev. Withers, pastor of Zion Baptist
Church, stated, that some one without
authority was collecting for his
church. During last winter some
representative of local Negro paper
made collections in the Court House
for Bethesda Church. 1t is a fact
that Montgomery has made his an
nual trips here (before he came to
locate) and collected his donations
for "the support of his paper for the
race" Many prominent men have
literally contributed.
We are not afraid of fair competi'
ton, but we suffer for the many dis
honorable advantages taken by these
parasites. We ask for neither sym
pathy or charity, and manage to get
decent living out of this publica-
ton, without any Identification with
charitable solicitations. Minneapolis
is a soft spot for Negro confidence
men. The white merchants seldom
complain or attempt to prosecute, be-
cause they do not wish to show that
they have been buncoed by cunning
illiterate Negro; or else they "give
up" freely to be rid of these pests
who harm others, however honorable
who may follow them.

The Methodist Episcopal church
cannot consistently cast off its Negro
membership, according to the Rev:
Gilbert Stansell, associate pastor OF
the Hennepin Avenue Methods
Episcopal church, in an address al
the thirteenth session of the North
ern German conference of the church
which opened last night at the Gem
trail German Methodist Episcopal
church.
"The Progressive Emancipation OF
the American Negro" was the title
of Doctor Stansell's address, in which
he advocated a policy contrary to the
one offered by the Methodist Church
"The price asked is more than the
union would be worth to us" Doctor
Stansell declared. "We cannot now
consistently cast aside our Negro
membership after all the missionary
work we have done among them. Too
much money has been spent and too
many lives have been devoted to up
building and educating the American
Negroes for US to consider such a
proposition.
"The Negro members are an asset
to the church. 1t is through them
that we are going to learn to sing
again. That art has, been lost among
US, but is an essential part OF the
Negroes religion, and one that he
can still teach us. Aside from that.
