Officers of the United States
Army Will Appear on Their
High Class Chargers as One of
Many Brilliant Features of Big
Show-Two Events for Jump
ers to Be Held.

Military officers in uniform, mounted
on their we'll groomed and we'll trained
chargers, will furnish one of the most
interesting features of the big horse
show to be staged Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings of
State Fair week, Sept. 3 to 8. ...-
Due to the fact that so much inter
est is being shown in military affairs
throughout the country and that at
Fort Smelling there are many officers
who are excellent hoHemen and who
own high class steeds, visitors at the
state fair will doubtless take advan.
tage of the opportunity to see the
officers show their horses, as well as
their horsemanship.
This will be but one of many bril-
liant events connected with the horse
show, which, during recent years, has
become an interesting society affair.

CONG. LUNDEEN ASKS president
WILSON TO RELIEVE COAL
SITUATION.

August II, 1911.
The Honorable Woodrow Wilson,
President Of the United States,
Washington, d. c.
Mr.. President: Minnesota and the
Northwest are now 4,198,109 tons
short of soft coal at Duluth and the
head Of the lakes as compared with
1916. Hard coal shortage is 1854
tons. / am enclosing a detailed state
ment prepared by the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission of our state.
The people of Minnesota are not so
much concerned with the csal supply
Of foreign nations as they are about
their own supply. The nations coal
production is ample for the nations
domestic needs. If we are to hew
down our forests to keep our furnaces
burning and keep warmth in our fire.
sides, we want to know that in lad.
vance so that we may at least pre-
pare.
We feel sure that you as the Chief
Executive of our Nation will take i'm.
mediate action in our behalf under the
powers already granted you by Con.
gress.
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) ERNEST LUNDEEN.

SCHOOL EXHIBITS BIG
superintendent Howard Expects His
Department at Fair to Break
Records.

Repeated demands have been made
by George F. Howard, superintendent
of the School Exhibits department of
the Minnesota State Fair for addition
al space for the displays for his de-
partment, but similar condition has
existed in SO many other departments
that the board of managers have been
unable to grant his request. Mr.. How
ard believes this years school exhibits
will far surpass those of past years.
II don't know where we are going
to put all our exhibits" said Mr.. How
ard recently. There is such a de-
mand for space in my department that
1t looks now as if some of the exhibits
will have to be cared for out of doors. "
Mr.. Howard has notified county SUI
perintendents Of schools that they
must prepare their exhibits and have
them ready for shipment in plenty of
time so that they will be at the fair
grounds to be placed during prepare.
ton week. He also requested the
names of the representatives from the
different counties who are to compete
in the state spelling bee" during the
fair and he anticipates an unusually
interesting contest.
AS has been the case in past years,
the school exhibits now being pre-.
pared will consist of sewing, cooking,
weaving, carpentry and farm products,
as we'll as product maps, language
booklets and samples of penmanship
and many other interesting things.

PRAISE FOR THE STAR

We note with pleasure the rapid
advance of the Twin City Star, pub
lished at Minneapolis, Mimi, by our
good friend, Charles Sumner Smith.
The Star has been enlarged from four
to eight pages, and it's columns are re-
plete with live and interesting matter.
1t is for the race 365 days in the year
charlatans. who trade upon the guilt
bility Of white people and thrive upon
the ignorance Of Negroes. The Star,
while printing the cream of the local
news of the twin cities, Minneapolis
and ST. Paul, is a steady subscriber to
the N. B. Dodson syndicate page of the
American Press Association, the Col
ored Associated Press-in itself an in
dication OF the wisdom and race pride
Of Editor Smith. The Twin City Star
has our best wishes for continued pros
perity.-R. w. Thompson, in the Indian
apolis Freeman.
It is a pleasure to have such COM
ment from our National Correspond
ent, and though our good friend
'Dick" is a booster by nature; The
Star is entitled to. a little praise. If
he has been too liberal, we shall pass
some of it on to some other poor and
struggling Negro news-philanthropist
who will find that such cheering words
are the brightest gems in the crown
of consolation; the only jewels. worn
by many who sacrifice themselves for
the advancement of others. Many
thanks, Mr.. Thompson.

FAST HORSES ENTERED
Early Entries for State Fair Races
Indicate Some Excellent
Sport.

When the entries for the five early
closing events for the Minnesota State
Fair race program Sept. 3 to 8 were
all in June 80 1t was found that the
Duluth Purse did not fill. This event
was re-opened as a 2:06 pace to close
August 20. The other four events
however, attracted a big list of en-
tries and the indications are that the
races will be intensely interesting.
Both the Minneapolis and st. Paul
Purses, the most attractive events on
the race program, each of which offer
$4,000 in purses, proved magnets for
the horsemen Of the west. The Min
neapolis event has 20 entries while
the st. Paul Purse, to be run the last
day of the meet, filled with Is entries,
which is indicative of the fact that
these two events will be we'll worth
seeing.
The entire amount of money offered
In purses this year is $20,9O0. The
races are to be held Monday, Tues
day, Thursday and Friday, the other
two days of, the week being turned
over to the automobiles.

MODERN WARFARE
A BIG SPECTACLE
Most Stupendous Fireworks Display OF
Century to Be Offered State Fair
Visitors.

Modern Warfare" is the title of the
stupendous pyrotechnic production
which will feature the night show in
front of the grandstand at the Mime
sofa state fair, Sept. 3 to 8. Accord
ing to it's producers it will surpass
any of the brilliant fireworks displays
attempted in former years.
Modern Warfare, or An Attack on
the Trenches" as the title indicates,
will depict as nearly as possible the
many frightful episodes in the gigan-
tic world struggle, which is now being
waged in Europe. 1t is said by the
Thearle-Duffield Fireworks Company,
the producers, that this is the most
costly exhibition Of fireworks made
within the country and that it is i'm
measurably greater than any exhibit.
ton of fireworks they have ever
offered.
The many phases of this remarkable
display cover a thrilling and spectacu-
lar attack on the trenches of an op-
posing army and the bombardment of
cities somewhere in France" 1t also
depicts the many horrors of the titanic
struggle and demonstrates modern
engines of warfare, including the dew.

howitZers, the terrible war tanks,
waves of barrage and liquid fires and
the deadly ground mines. 1t also
shows war as waged in the air by
aeroplanes and Zeppelins, together
with other air craft manned and ma.
nipulated by living operators.
During the exhibition the army wire
less is shown in operation and demon
STATIONS will be given of heliograph
signalling. In short, every possible
phase of the tremendous struggle in
Europe will be shown realistically.
/ One of the biggest features of the
display will be brilliant review of
the troops Of all nations, the soldiers
being correctly costumed and &C.
coutred.
The producers of this gorgeous spec
tacle have attempted to bring home to
the people just as wildly as possible
the scenes which have been enacted
daily across the water during the prog.
! ress of the war. They have made a
thorough study of existing conditions
and have spent thousands of dollars in
their effort to duplicate the high spots
in the conflict. So well have they sue.
ceedcd that they have received praise
from all sides, and Minnesotans who
attend the state fair, Sept. to 8,
will have an opportunity to see this
wonderful spectacle each night during
the week.

Our Friend at Court.

Every Negro owes lasting debt of
gratitude to Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
who placed the American people on
record for the responsibility of the
horrible outrages on defenseless Ne
groes at East st. Louis, Ill.,, during the
recent riot and the well-meaning peo-
pie of the civilized world honor him
for his noble speech and manly stand.
Not only does Mr.. Roosevelt preach
the square DEAL" he practices it, and
by so doing he has done much to de-
stroy the spirit of lynching and mob
violence. Mr.. Roosevelt has called on
the Wilson administration to act on
this occasion. The President of our
great democracy CD has not deemed
the affair even worthy of comment.
Mr.. Roosevelt is Americas greatest
statesman and we are proud to have
such friend at court.

THE NAVY NEEDS MEN
but not black-skinned

Red-blooded, but not b!ack-skinned.
The following is the copy sent to
Northwest papers by Lieut.. Com,
mander, Jas. D. Wilson, U. S. Navy.
Mr.. American Citizen:
Do you realize that the United
States Navy is still short many thou
sands of men to properly man the
ships now building to be ready for
active war service the latter part of
this year?
The Navy needs real men red
blooded Americans who are willing
to do their bit for good old u S. A.,
as did the men and boys of 1875 and
1861. Are you going to sit tight and
LET George do it" and in the future
be ashamed to answer your children
and grandchildren when they say,
Daddy, what did you do during the
great WARP, or are you going to be
in position to say Daddy was a
Navy Volunteer, fought for this coun-
try of ours and helped to make the
blessings of Liberty secure for our
selves and our posterity, and also
helped save some of the starving
mothers and children of Europe"
Now is the time for you to step for
ward and volunteer for the Navy
always found ready when needed by
your Uncle Sam. Men of the type
of Farragut, Dewey, Lawrence, Perry
and Nathan Hale are wanted. There
are plenty of them in this city who
will make history" when they finally
volunteer. The Northwest has never
been found wanting when the Nation
needed men. Volunteer now, write
or telegraph Navy Recruiting Sta

Forks, Minot and Bismarck. N. D.
THE NEGRO'S ANSWER.
Dear Uncle SAM
realize your position for which
you are, entirely responsible. l have
offered my services, but according to
your orders Negroes are not want
ed" as white men. My fathers fought
with Perry on Lake Erie, with Far
ragut at New Orleans and in Mobile
Bay. l served with Dewey at Manila
and with Sampson at Santiago, and
have never been found wanting"
other than chance to fight for you.
A thousand of my brothers are wait,
ing, until you cast aside your pre-
JUDGE, and you will be compelled to
do so. The Negro Americans are
sitting tight and do not care, who
does it. Should you need them (and
you certainly willy they are ready.
Discrimination has denied them the
ability to serve you, as they would
like to; but your persecution has not
overcome their patriotism. They
are here, there, and everywhere. in
the land Of their birth, the U. S. A.

your PUBLICITY PAYS.

All persons interested in the pro-
gress of their lodges, churches, So
cieties ETC., should value the power
of printers ink. They should see
that their secretaries SEND ALL
NOTICES to the newspapers in pro-
per time. They think the Editor
should attend every affair, whether
invited or not, and should know
what is going on?-without being
informed. Many exchanges clip from
our columns, and often things done
in. Minneapolis get national publicity.
