RELIEF FUND
 CAMPAIGN

The fund for starving ArmenianS, the fund which when raised will ple- vent little children, prevent women CT all ages, from slowly dying for want of something to maintain the little chord of life, is growing slowly in Seward, but growing surely.
 If everybody in Seward would go without one meal, then without the next meal and so on for several day, only slight pang of the real rarg now felt by those in Armenia would be realized.
 Over in Armenia they are subsid' ing on roots, grass, anything to give them a little longer lease on life, iA hopes that America will come forward in time to prevent death.
 Seward must raise $500. Any amount from 25 cents up will be ac- cepted The Editor of the Gateway ac- cepted the chailmanShip of the Relief Committee when Dr.. McHenry waS making his trip through Alaska mak ing arrangements. Others were asked to accept but they were too busy. Ed itorS never are busy so the Gateway Editor took the duty upon himself and succeeded in having Doctors Slo?n and Romig, of the four minute men to assist. They are doing what they can but volunteers are wanted and they are to try and raise the amount Gov. Riggs decided that Seward should raise.
 Every town in Alaska raised tn" quota assessed and all have gone ovnr the top. The other towns have jus! completed ther campagn and the carr-

This is perfectly agreeable to the Seward Chairman if somebody vii! come forward and take charge. Io- day is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday and then four days more, the campai gn will end. Publicity is the great thing and the Editor will give all pos sible if others will take upon them selves to get out and hustle in the re. mainder of the fund.

We have never known two injus.
tees 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
to 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 a majority of white people
will always side with a white man
when a 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.

OUR UNCHANGED POLICIES.

Now that the candidates for Of
fee are entering the race in the CON-
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; 1t will try to maintain it's for
mer policies of giving 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
up every candidate as friend of
our race" or "the right man in the
right place." 1t 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 a fair knowledge of the history
of several campaigns and has made
a study of the value of the Negro
vote. He is not bound by any indi-
vidual or party, and has stood, at
all times, for the political recogni-
ton of Negro voters. The Twin City
Star is paper with worthy pur-
pose, recognized by its readers as
a reliable source of information, an
intelligent and fearless advocate for
equal rights for all men.

CANDIDATES, TAKE NOTICE

Negroes! Beware Of the candidate
for public Office who comes to meet
ings, held in the House of God, just
to get your vote. They cannot be
depended upon. Those preachers who
permit political meetings in their
churches are unworthy of the cloth.
Hire hall and keep politicians out
of the pulpit. If the pastor wishes to
speak on civic advancement, he should
do so without commercializing his con-
gregation and selling the sanctity of
Gods House, using the altar as an
auction block, upon which to sell to
the highest bidder for cash the rights
and privileges of few ignorant fol-
lowers. ...
Such preachers are not worth their
room in He'll.

WHY THIS OUTcRY
AGAINST THE NEGRO?

Editor, The Herald
The attention of the readers of The
Calgary Daily Herald, both broad and
narrow thinkers within the city of Cal
gary and province of Alberta, is called
to analyze the true conditions Of the
labor question, which is causing so
much luminosity by the colored men re-
placing the white ones in the dining
car capacity. .......
One could readily believe more an
tagonistic remarks could not have
been anticipated had the heretofore
white crews been replaced by Huns
themselves.
We seem to forget We are striving
to maintain democracy. We also fail
to view the fact that intelligence is
the shaping of evsry mans destiny.
Can we, within our hearts, deny
these men who have proved them.
selves as loyal as any race, with such
a catastrophe facing us, the rights
to such an insignificant position as
has caused this dispute, when we
ourselves have closed the doors to
him of more intelligent positions
which he is capable of holding?
AS true democrats let us for a mo-
ment remove the veil of prejudice and
view him from an angle of his true
worth; they have more than proven
their loyalty to the U. S. A., under con-
ditions I will not mention. France
found in them such loyalty and pa
triotism that her standing army of 200,-
900 consisted of them. Has France
had cause to regret it? No. Let us
recall at the outbreak of the war his
anxiety to prove his loyalty and pa.
triotism to Canada. Our hearts were
SO against him, he was plainly told,
This is the white mans war"
Since the adoption Of the draft law,
some Of these very same men have
been called to the colors. This same
rejected man will, at present, and must
in future prove himself capable of
holding any position the white man
holds il allowed the chance.
So let us as true democrats cease
our, hostilities towards him, which is
based on account of his color; grant
him what the future must give-the
right of an equal chance.

FACTS ABOUT FIRE

South Sea Islanders in the remot.
est days got their fire by the friction
Of dry wood.
The primal Aleutian Islanders rub
sulphur over quartz, make a rude
match, and SO strike light.
isaac spake unto Abraham" in the
twenty-second chapter Of Genesis, "and
he said: Behold the fire and the wood"
But we have no history of any race
Of men who didn't know about fire.
The earliest Bible records speak Of
fire.
For stealing fire from the gods and
giving it to man Prometheus was
chained to the rock. That was Greek
mythology.
Living in the shadow Of the north
pole, the far-off Eskimo strikes quartz
against a piece Of iron pyrite and
gets fame.
The most sequestered tribes Of Afri-
ca and Central Asia knew about fire
when the white men first made their
acquaintance.
When Columbus came to America
he found Indian fires burning. The
Indian rubbed dry sticks together and
quickly got spark.
How Adam learned about fire we
know not, but apparently Eve cooked
food, although the famous apple was
doubtless eaten raw.
1t was said that when Magellan first
sailed around the world he did find
among the Ladrones people who never
saw fire. When the Spanish adven-
turer burned their huts the natives
thought the flames were beast which
ate up wood.-Girard's Talk Of the Day

THE MAYoRALTY CAMPAIGN.

There are six candidates for mayor
at the primary election. We are not
personally interested in any particu-
lar one Of the aspirants, to, succeed
Mayor Van Lear. DR.. Warham Is a
man deserving the respect of every
Negro. Mayor Van Lear has done
much to guarantee them their civil
rights. He has prohibited the Birth
of a Nation" and We would be I'M
grateful should we not give credit to
whom it is due. The Star editor car
ries no votes in his vest pocket, nor
quarrels with any one because of po-
litical preferences. The Negro is
intelligent and watches the record.
However, he does not approve of the
Socialist party which is comprised of
some good men and loyal citizens. He
advises all voters to consider their
ballot as their greatest protection,
and to vote for the men whom they
think will fill their Offices for the
greatest good to the greatest number.

We are living in an age and an
epoch which is characterized by a
growing and insistent demand for jus
tice and democracy. The United
States is sending men, money and
munitions to the battle fields of Eu-
rope as its demand for justice, free
dom and equality of opportunity for
all peoples, and it would be well for
the Americans at this time to remem
Der that here in our own country for
the past fifty years since the aboli-

for which We are fighting to make the
world safe, and in which fight God
helping US, we will be victorious.

Those candidates, opposing present
office holders, whose loyalty has been
proven, by their records in and out of
office, especially since we entered
this war; are the most avowed pro-
Germans and traitors. They are caus-
ing internal strife by trivial differ
ences. Their opinions, merely mer-
cenary and personal, are causing q
sentiment, bordering on revolution.
Any effort to seriously divide the
American people at this time is an
act of treason. Such confusionists
should be publicly denounced by a
vote for the present incumbents or
loyal opponents. The Star has said

new DRAFT CALL is COMING

To Follow Shortly After Registration.
of June 5.
Washington, May 29.-The provost
marshal generals office intends to,
make sizeable draft call directly af--
ter the 81 year old men register on
June 5. This has developed as one,
of the steps contemplated in increas-
ing rapidly the size of the army.
Americas war machine is now strik-
ing its pace, and it is estimated that
by the end of this year the supply Of
class 1 men will have been nearly ex-.
hausted, either at necessary war work
or in the military establishment.
Already men have been called from
classes 2 and 8, men who are skilled
in trades or callings that fit into the
army's war work.
