BROWNSON WINS
IN CLOSE BATTLE
Walsh NoSed Out by Three
Points in InterhaIl Track
Meet.
BY Chas. w. Call.

Brownson and Walsh battled till
the relay race, the final event on
the program, before the inter-han
track championship of Notre Dame
was esta blished on Cartier field yes
terday afternoon. Brownson won
by the slim margin of three points,
in one Of the closest inter-hall meets
in the last five years.
Walsh cut down the eleven-point
lead Brownson had established on
Wednesday. and all but gathered
enough points 20 smother the main
building lads. Sutton. an unknown,
all but set the work of Brownson
at naught when he won first place
in the hand grenade throwing con-
test, in the first time il was ever in
cluded in an athletic program az
NOtre Dame.
George Meredith, kin OF the re-
doubtable Ted Meredith, continued
his brilliant work of Wednesday
when he won both the 220-yard and
440-yard dashes in remarkably fast
time. McDonough, brother of the
famous Andy McDOnough of half
mile fame at Notre Dame, walked
tway with the mile run in easy
fashion. Tiffany, Bailey, Kirk, and
Mcconnell gathered many points
for Walsh in the dashes and the
hurdles. and the. quartet also won
the relay race at the conclusion of
the meet. Hogan and HOar were
the most capable Brownson per-
formers. Cooley of Walsh, and
DOoley of COrby, were the stars Of

OUR UNCHANGED POLICIES.

Now that the candidates for Of
dice are entering the race in the COM
ing primaries, and The Twin City
Star has always taken an active part
in discussing the political situation
and presenting the issues of the cam
paign; it will try to maintain its for
mer policies OF giving a fair express
sion OF the attitude of all office-seek-
ers, so far as the Negro is concerned.
1t does not (for revenue only) write
ND every candidate as friend OF
our race" or "the right man in the
right place" It gives each the ad-
vantage Of the columns under paid
advertisements"
The Twin City Star intends to ex'
pose any candidate whose record has
been against the Negro. Its editor
has fair knowledge of the history
OF several campaigns and has made
q study Of the value OF the Negro
vote. He is not bound by any indi
vidual or party, and has stood, al
all times, for the political recogni
tion Of Negro voters. The Twin City
Star is a paper with a worthy pur
pose, recognized by its readers al
a reliable source of information, al
intelligent and fearless advocate fol
equal rights for all men.

M s. FRANCIS MAKES STRONG
APPEAL TO WHITE BAPTiSTS.

On Friday afternoon. April 18th, at
the First Baptist church, st. Paul, the
Women's Clubs of Pilgrim Baptist
church were the guests Of the Wo-
mems Missionary societies Of the
White Baptist churches. The subject
of the day was "The American Negro;
Wrong Conditions in America Affect
ing Him as Citizen and the Remedy
for the Same" Mrs. w. T. Francis
was asked to deliver an address and
made a strong plea for the civil and
political rights and for the enactment
of laws for the suppression of lynch.
ing; also, for better educational IA
cilities for Negro children in the pub,

elimination of discrimination and seq.

We have never known two in1us-
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
70 be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because majority of white people
will always side with white man
when q question arises between him
and one of our color; still certain col
ored newspapers, without making any
investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne
gro race do identically what they con-
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong is
NO reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself

THIS Is RACE LOYALTY.
A Good Example.

Mr.. Benz. Beny, who OWNS bar.
ber shop in the white residential Sec
tion called up The Star office to buy
$500 Liberty Bonds from negro.
He had learned that Editor Smith was
one of the solicitors and wanted to
help swell the fund collected by a
Negro. On learning that Mr.. Smith
was not a solicitor, on account OF
assisting the organization of the Home
Guard Companies, Mr.. Berry wanted
to buy his bond from any Negro
among the solicitors. There being
none he purchased from one OF the
several solicitors among his patrons.
This is an object lesson for race
support. We do not claim that we
should practice race selfishness, but
regardless of everything, make some
special effort to do something for race
representation. A Negro agent on
the drive should easily solicit an
amount as large from persons of all
nationalities, equally as well as
white man solicits frcm all nationali.
ties. The fact that the sale was
made by a Negro is honor enough for
his race. Should we attempt to have
separate or Jim Crow solicitation
Il is probable that he would no,
show up as we'll. Any white man
who would not purchase Bono
from a Negro would be guilty OF alb
solute diSloyalty.
