SOME GOOD EXAMPLES.

We have some among our advertis-
ers and subscribers who are a credit
to our race for their business-like
methods. They pay promptly in ad-
vance and expect nothing unreason-
able in return. Others want to know
why we can't trust them?" or send
a sill, and then a collector, and finally
censor a Negro editor because he can't
run his paper like the white man."
Few persons realize that it pays to
pay as you go. The Star is not an
installment plan proposition. 1t is a
real newspaper run under many diff
culties mostly due to the foolish no.
tions and ignorant whims of those
whom it serves and protects and from
whom it should get it's support and
their consideration.
The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1917-07-28
TOO MANY CALLS.

Aside from the recognized organi-
cations that have been active for the
race, there are many calls" for con-
ventions and congresses. The Star
does not believe some to be worth
the paper on which they are written
The Negro press is able to classify
these various programs. 1t should
keep in mind the veteran organiza-
tons and fraternities which need the
support of these tangent promoters.
Join the old guard and make the most
of what we have. There is no use
of bunch of personal prominence
promoters (who are fortunate to have
railroad fare) calling meeting simply
to draw resolutions and get publicity.
The religious, educational, political,
professional and industrial organiza-
tons are pretty we'll known and are
able to give all the publicity needed.
They can be depended on to do their
duty.
Let us look out for the things that
concern our race in our local communi-
ties. We can do more than by long dis
lance calling" on q congregation of
strangers at great sacrifice of time
and money.
The Twin City star. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1910-19??, 1917-07-28

If there was some way in Portland
to cut out or even curb the many
forms of charity graft which are be-
ing worked overtime by the benefit
route, the churches would not have
such a hard time to keep up the in
terest on their mortgages, and pay
the pastors their salaries. And the
grievous and scandalous part about
the whole shooting match is that some
of the members of the churches are
also members of this basket brigade"
and they are so near-sighted that they
cannot see the great harm and in
jury they are doing the church. How
ever, the pastors see and know that
the band is impeding and hindering
the advancement of the church along
financial and spiritual lines, but they
dare not condemn it lest they lose a
few dimes or so, or perhaps a few
thin-skinned members. These people,
by their methods, are killing the
church.-The Portland (Ore.) Advo-
cate.

SECRET SOCIETIES AS AIDS
TO RACIAL ADVANCEMENT
Views of William A. Aery of Hampton
Institute on Racial Welfare.

William anthony Aery. head Of the
press service at the Hampton (Va) in
stitute and also teacher, Is always on
the alert to make known the best
methods and plans for the physical and
literary improvement Of the Negro and
Indian races. Mr.. Aery not only keeps
in touch with the doings of the race
throughout its weekly and monthly
publications, but often attends the an
nual meetings of our organizations, So
cieties and educational institutions.
He is q man of broad vision and liberal
views. His work as a publicist and
teacher bears the stamp of experience
and efficiency.
Mr.. Aery carried the following article
in recent issue Of the Southern Work
man, the monthly magazine published
at the institute:
Secret societies are the channels
through which the Negro can best be
reached with information relative to
his health and sanitation. For this rea-
son. if for no other, every Negro who is
Va pAopSk ooC anu 40 q oSOo
risk should belong to some secret So
ciety, and every secret society should
have a bureau Of health, with q most
capable physician in charge, to furnish
printed matter monthly or semi-month-
ly Oh topics Of health and sanitati> u
that most vitality concern mankind.
There are many communicable and
preventable diseases to which mankind
is heir that may be averted by putting
daily into practice certain rules and
regulations in living.
'"These rules and regulations should
be persistcntly taught by printed cir
culars issued to the members Of the Or
der by the health bureau. The Negro,
like many individuals Of other races.
has not learned the value Of fresh air
both day and night.
"There are so many ways in which
the Negro takes disease that could be
avoided. provided he was properly in
structed and would follow the instruc-
ton. He is an easy prey in a multi
plicity of ways. He will purchase for
himself and family germ laden second
hand clothes, never giving thought to
the probability Of taking disease from
them. He will often eat food left by
others and will drink with Joy and sat-
isfaction from vessels and bottles used
by the sick or we'll, often taking dis
ease in this way. All Of this comes
from ignorance.
1.-THE secret societies are the organi-
cations to serve the race with enlight-
eminent along this line, make better its
sanitation and increase its usefulness,
its wealth, it's health and its respec-
liability"

JOIN THE FOOD CONSERVATION
CAMPAIGN

Mrs. David F. Simpson has request
ed the Twin City Star to appeal to
its readers to join the Food Conser-
walton Service. The campaign begins
Monday, July 30. Everyone is asked
to assist. Headquarters are in the
balcony at Daytons store. Sign the
pledge card and send ten cents for
the official button. This movement de-
mands the cooperation of ALL Pow
erty and famine knows no color line.
A willful waste means a woeful want.
Pastors of the various churches will
help by informing their congregations
of the great necessity of this cam
paign.

A REAL GOVERNOR.

Jefferson City, July 6.-Many tele-
grams and letters are coming to Gov
ernor Gardner protesting against the
riots in East st. Louis. All are based
on the belief of those who sent them
that East st. Louis is Il part of Mis-
souri,.
I'VE do not do business that way"
the governor said in expressing his
veXation over the communications.
"All human beings in this state are
treated alike, and will be treated alike
as long as am chief executive of the
state. am told that even some
Eastern newspaper writer's have been
re.crring to this state as poor old Mis-
souri, on the theory that East st.
Louis is in Missouri. They ought to
post themselves on geography"

HON. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Our Friend at Court.

Every Negro owes a 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 DIT 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 Tyr 'ng and mob
violence. Mr.. Rooseve. las called on
the Wilson administration to act on
this occasion. The President of our
great democracy GU has not deemed
the affair even worthy of comment.
Mr.. Roosevelt is Americas "eatest
statesman and we are proud - have
such friend at court.

THE NAVY NEEDS MEN
but not black-skinned.

Red-blooded, but not black-skinned.
The following is tn. 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 War;, or are you going to De
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
ton, Minneapolis. Branch stations
at St. Paul, St. Cloud. Duluth and
Brainerd, Mimi, and Fargo, Grand
Forks, Minot and Bismarck. N. D.
THE NEGRO'S ANSWER.
Dear Uncle SAM
l realize your position for which
you are entirely responsible. 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 wilD 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.

A native citizen.

new LIGHT ON WASHINGTON.
Chancellor Mccormick Impressed With
Educators Wonderful Intuition.

NnaVC0VOF "CSOTIuICR t"PTSSS0o Win
Educators Wonderful Intuition.
Chancellor S. B. Mccormick of the
University of Pittsburgh recently sent
the following letter to julius Rosen-
valid, the widely known Chicago bust
ness man and philanthropist, with ref
erence to the splendid volume on the
life and times of the late DR.. Booker
T. Washington. Chancellor McCor-
mick's letter:
Mr.. julius Rosenwald. Sears. Roebuck 6
Co., Chicago:
My Dear Mr.. Rosenwald-Last night I
brought the book entitled Booker r.
Washington, Builder Of a Civilization"
with me from the Office. After dinner /
opened it, and today at noon I have fin
ished reading it.
This was not task to be performed as
quickly as possible, but q pleasure to be
each moment increasingly enjoyed. The
book holds and grips one by the compelling
power Of its thrilling story
It Is a story book. 1t does not deal In
trivialities. It presents the man in the
large. A biography Of Booker Washing
ton will doubtless be written. Many books
about him are certain to be published.
This book reveals the man In broad out
lines through the wonderful work he &C
complished 1t Is absorbingly interesting,
and 1t gives the reader not only a fresh
conception Of the greatness of Booker T.
Washington. but Of the greatness and
marvellous achievement of his life.
The reader with every page increases
in his .wonderment whence such a man
came; what 1t was that taught him; how
he got his views; what was the source of
his infinitely varied capacities. Well as !
knew him, I learn from this book that
did not know him at all. How did he get
his amazing common sense? Whence came
his keenness and accuracy Of intuition?
Who taught him the meaning Of beauty,
Of order, Of system, of relationship OF lit
tie things to big? How did he learn to
conceive Of duties and rights as he did
and never to speak of the one without
emphasizing the other? What other
dreamer among the stars ever walked so
firmly upon the earth and saw realities
and put them into all his life as did Book
er T. Washington?

YOUR PUBLICITY PAYS.

All persons interested in the pro-
gress of their lodges, churches, So

that their secretaries SEND ALL
NOTICES to the newspapers in pro-

informed. Many exchanges clip from
our columns, and often things done
in Minneapolis get national publicity,
