There may be some truth in the
report that Louis Friedman, the Jew
gambler, expects to finance a Negro
club on the North Side. The report
that a Negro on the North Side will
run a club is widely circulated.
He has undoubtedly been misled, if
he has such intention. There will be
no NEGRO clubs or a Negro club
ION the North Side. The Star is 60
1iagtto strongly oppose any action and
ithe aMayor will not permit one. We
have enough clubs now.
Let some Negro seek the higher
and more substantial things that build
up rather than tear down. The Star
will support him along this line.

PIMEY WOODS COUNTRY LIFE
SCHOOL Is MAKING GOOD
How Principal Laurence c. Jones Pro.
vidss For Ambitious Students.

One Of the most worthy and progress
'sive Of the younger schools in the
south for the education Of colored
youth Is the Piney Woods Country
Life at -Braxton, Miss. This institu-
hon, as far as its limited equipment
allows, Is meeting the needs Of the
masses in its section Of the state in a
very large way. That the people of
this thickly populated part Of Missis-
sippi are anxious to give their chill
dren q chance to educate themselves
becameamore evident at the opening of
the,school in October than at any time
since dt has been established.
The largest number Of boys and girls
reported for entrance on the opening
day, Oct II, than at any other time,
and Professor Laurence g. Jones, the
principal, rather than turn any one
away decided to run them in two Pc
RODS, some during the day and others
at night. But even this method has
not given room enough.
The Institution Is in need Of funds
with which to erect a larger building
for classrooms, chapel and dormitory
building. Any one who can and will
give to such an institution any funds,
however small, will he giving to a
worthy cause and may be assured that
his gift will be wisely used. The
following Is an illustration Of how
white friends of the race regard the
work which the school is doing under
the management Of Professor Jones:
As q mark Of appreciation for his
old black nanny, Aunt Lunkey," to
whom he told all his woes and who
nursed all his injuries in childhood
days, G.. w. Dulaney, wealthy Mis-
sourian. has made a donation of $500
to the school. In letter to Profess
sor Laurence G. Jones Mr.. Dulaney
says that he desires to make the gift
az q mark of love for the dear old
nanny, feeling that 1t will be used
as a useful monument to her memory
and hoping that it may result In the
development Of such another beautiful
character as Aunt Lunkey.
my grandfather paid $500 for Aunt
Lunkey before the war;" said Mr..
Dulaney, 'but in spite of the fact that
her freedom was promptly given her
at the time Of the war she had always
been attached to the family and con-
sidered herself member"

Buffet Flats Should Go.

Detective J. c. Black of St. Paul is
an example of an honorable man of
good social standing, who has devel-
oped into real detective, and be-
cause of his activities, many find a
harbor in this city. Cooperation be-
tween two good men would be di-
rect means of cleaning up the cities.
A man, if appointed, who did not CO.
operate with Mr.. Black would hinder
his own progress.
The Star does not name "the man
for the job" We do not believe that
any action should be taken at this
time as to appointments or club re-
gulations. The new Mayor and new
Chief of Police will get personally
acquainted with those interested in
this matter, and there is no hurry.
Safety first, is a good caution. The
administration of Mayor Nye was a
confusion of social conditions, which
reflected no credit on the Negro.
Even preachers prayed for privileges
for gamblers and women in high
circles sanctioned lawlessness. We
do not want to burden Mr.. Van Lear
with this annoyance. He will issue,
orders, after a personal investigation,
and see they are enforced. He will
give Negroes recognition, not as par
ty patronage or personal favors, but
as they deserve as other racial ele-
ments. Let US hope that all may
Justly profit by his action.

seconded his own nomination and in
a witty and logical speech, told of
the recognition given the Socialists
party's candidates elsewhere and the
adoption of their program by other
parties. He is good-natured speaker
and has many friends. They are a

THE MAYOR INTERVIEWED.

The Editor of the Star had a re-

He wished the Negro citizens every
right enjoyed by other people. He
understands the conditions under
which they live. He has promised
no hasty action and will thoroughly
acquaint himself with any matter af-
tecting their civic and social welfare.
No appointments will be made as
party patronage. He has no friends
among them to remember or personal
promises to fulfill. He is the Mayor
OF all the people, and in due season
will give them recognition by ap-
pointment.

DANIELS DoDGES ISSUE.
Secretary Of the Navy Refuses to Dis
ouss Recruiting colored Men.

ouss Recruiting colored Men.
The Democratic administration at
Washington has run the gantlet of
race prejudice, especially in so far as
It applies to the colored people. Thrift,
intelligence, loyalty to the flag and ef-
fciency seem to count for naught. An
exhibition Of such unfairness on the
part of an official of the present ad-
ministration toward our race is given
in an article which appeared In the
New York Evening Telegram of
Dec. Is.
The Telegram says: THE color line
has been drawn in the navy by Jose
plus Daniels, the secretary, who at the
hearing of the navy estimates before
the house naval affairs committee dis
approved of the suggestion that Ne
groes might be accepted as recruits.
Mr.. Daniels had made various recon-
mendations for meeting the shortage
Of officers and men, none of which
seemed adequate to the members OF
the committee.
Representative Oscar Galloway.
Democrat, of Texas finally asked the
secretary what he thought Of the ad-
visibility Of obtaining Negro recruits.
calling his attention to statements by
officers that the Negro troops were
good soldiers and good fighters.
Secretary Daniels did not approve
the suggestion. Instead he waved his
hand to the committee stenOgrapher,
asking that his reply be not made a
part Of the record, and then, leaning
back in his chair. said:
"'NIr. Galloway. If you will excuse
me I would prefer not to discuss that
natter"
