Order has done N Thousands of dollars pa The Knights of Pythias it is understood will carry their case to the United States Supreme Court. They are not daunted by the United States Supreme Court of Appeals, believing their course to be a just one, they will secure the best legal talent available and go before the court of last resort with every prospect of winning. It will be remembered that duriny the sitting of the Grand Lodge in Nashville the white Pythians sought an injunction from Judge Allison of the Chancery Court of Davidson County, restraining the Negro Pythians from "using the ritual, wearing the button, pin, insignia, or using the name Knights of Pythias." Able counsel was employed which, made a valiant fight before the Chancery Court, but Chancellor Allison's decision was adverse to the colored Pythians. An appeal was then taken to the Court of Civil Appeals, which on last Saturday sustained the lower Court. Thereupon plans are prefected to carry the suit to the United States Courts, where it will be fought to a finish. Georgia had a case similar to their Tennessee brethren. They, too, employed good lawyers, carrying all the state's courts only to be ruled against. Not to be outdone, these plucky Georgians have their case at present awaiting adjudication by the Supreme Court of the United States. In West Virginia an attempt was made to put out of business not only the Negro Pythians, but all other orders founded by white men. This scheme however met with a strong and vehement protest from all the leading Negroes and many influential white men. The result was the thing died aborning. In Mississippi, the state where every one thought the legislature would gladly embrace the opportunity to legislate against Negro secret societies, the law-making bodies refused to entertain the question. It can be readily seen from the above that the Negro Pythians are not dead yet, but have high hopes of a long and useful career. This order has done incalculable good to all communities where it exists. It makes its membership respect law and authority. Its leaders are always on ```markdown ``` the right side of all moral questions. The Negro Knights of Pythias have spent thousands of dollars in caring for its widows and orphans; they have property valued at nearly a million dollars; they do good in every township. It would be a crime to stop them after years of usefulness. This order is found in every Negro settlement, trying to make men and women thrifty and useful citizens of the country. The Supreme Lodge with W. S. Green at its head is doing all that can be done to make the institution one to be desired by all right-thinking men. The Grand Lodge of Tennessee with J. P. Crawford, Grand Chancellor, is doing the same thing so far as this state is concerned. The order has among its membership bankers, lawyers, doctors, mechanics, farmers and the laboring man. It boasts of having men of wealth and brain, and the very best type of Negro mankind are among its most ardent devotees. The Negro order does not desire to make itself objectionable to any white organization, and to that end its members are told that they are separate and apart from white lodges, having no desire to do this is proverbial of all Negro Pythians. Pending a final decision the organization in this state will go right ahead setting up new lodges and increasing the membership in the old ones. It cannot be definitely said when the case will be decided, as the Supreme Court of the United States is behind with its work and it may be months or even several years before the case is reached. In the end if the case should go against the Negro some way will be found to continue the organization under a different name. Dr. A. M. Townsend, Medical Register, says: "The decision as given was expected. Through the dim vista of the present I see yet a ray of hope. This ray of hope comes from the fact that the Georgia case has been resting so long in the Supreme Court. Though it be that these shocks and reverses have come to us, somehow, I have faith yet in Pythianism. In the midst of it all my heart rejoices when I see that the face of Pythianism is yet to the morning, and from reports that DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25 1911.

John R. Marshall thinks Men should first be Enlisted. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 14.—Col. John R. Marshall of the Eighth Illinois, which is the only regiment in the State National Guard made up of colored men, from officers down, has returned from a trip East, visiting New York, Washington, and other cities of interest While in New York Col. Marshall showed much concern in the proposed colored regiment being organized in that city, but does not speak encouragingly of the effort being made by the Negroes of Manhattan, expressing the opinion that they are going about the work of organizing in wrong way. "In the first place the heads are appointing all the officers without first filling the various companies with desirable men," said Col. Marshall. "The selection of line officers is an easy matter compared with securing men qualified to enlist as privates. While to date most of the line officers have been named, only a small number of privates have been accepted. "The requirements are so stringent nowadays with reference to applicants being accepted as members of the State militia that I predict that they will be fortunate in New York City if 800 out of 3,000 applicants pass the examinations successfully. Even when the Eighth Illinois was organized during the Spanish-American War, 2,300 men were examined and but 1,300 were passed on favorably, and at that time they wanted men badly. So you can readily understand what a big task the New Yorkers have ahead of them in forming a colored regiment. "I am also afraid that in New York they are not looking at the big expense that will be incurred in the mustering in of a colored regiment. It will cost no less than $300,000 to arm and eqip a regiment, which does not include the expenditure of money for an armory. "The law provides that an applicant desiring to join the State militia must be between the ages 18 and 45 years, and that they must secure consent of their parents or guardians. One must successfully pass an eye and ear test and no flat-footed applicants are taken. "While in New York I noticed that the officers of the regiment were issuing statements that the numerical strength of a company should be fifty-eight enlisted men and three officers, and the maximum strength 108 enlisted men and three officers to a company. The members of the Eighth Illinois would like very much to see a colored regiment in New York, but we know that in order for the Negroes of New York to realize their ambition they must proceed along the right lines." Ground will be broken for the erection of the new Eighth Illinois Armory in March. The building will cost $100,000 and will be located at Thirty-ninth street and Wabash avenue. The piece of property was bought by the colored citizens of Chicago for $20,000, due to activity of Col. Marshall, who interested the Negroes of this city in collecting enough money to buy the ground. After the property had been acquired an appeal was made to the Illinois Legislature to appropriate sufficient money for the erection of an armony, which was done. ALBUQUERQUE NEWS. New Mexico has just closed one of the most important and interesting elections ever held in this state. During the campaign the political issues were lost sight of and bitter personal feelings, libel and slander were indulged in by partisan newspapers, which made it a "mud slinging" campaign, and through such methods the Republican candidate for governor was defeated, but the legislature, which is the most important branch of our government, will be Republican in both houses, which will send two Republican senators to the senate.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS WILL MEET AT TUSKEGEE IN 1912. At a meeting of the boards which have direct charge of the Sunday school and young people's work of the National Baptist Convention, held in this city, it was decided that the seventh annual session of the Sunday School Congress should meet at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., thereby accepting from a vast number of invitations offered by some of the leading convention cities of the United States the one extended by Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. At this meeting, which was held in the office of the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and which was presided over by Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D., of Little Rock, Ark., full expressions were made concerning the great success that has crowned every meeting of this congress movement. Among the places that have entertained the Sunday School Congress during the past six years have been New Orleans, Nashville (twice), Jacksonville, Fla., Atlanta, Ga., and Meridian, Miss., but the indications are that the Tuskegee entertainment will be more elaborate and that the meeting will be more largely attended than heretofore. The time of the meeting has been fixed by the boards as the first week in June. The meeting is to open on the first Wednesday in June, remaining in session for six days, which will include Monday of the following week. WASHINGTON ON NEED FOR SAVING Negro Leader Delivers Address in Birmingham, Alabama. BOWIE MAKES SPEECHES WASHINGTON URGES HEARERS TO DO ALL THEY CAN TO GET MEMBERS OF THE NEGRO RACE TO SAVE THEIR MONEY. Birmingham, Ala.—Booker T. Washington, founder and principal of Tuskegee institute, reached this city just a few minutes before he was scheduled to speak and was driven immediately to the Orpheum theater, where he was greeted by an immense audience, about 300 of whom were leading white citizens. The negro leader and educator and his traveling secretary, Edwin J. Chesnutt, were met at the Louisville and Nashville railroad depot by Dr. W. E. Pettiford, Dr. U. G. Mason, J. O. Diffay, Dr. Lauderdale and Windham. When Doctor Washington appeared upon the stage he received an ovation by the largest audience he ever faced in Birmingham. Rev. C. L. Fisher, D. D., former pastor of the Sixteenth Street Baptist church, was master of ceremonies. The audience seemed delighted with several plantation melodies sung by a trained chorus of 100 voles. Dr. W. H. Nelson led in prayer. After a statement by Rev. J. A. Whitted, pastor of the Sixteenth Street Baptist church, and a collection taken for the church, Doctor Fisher introduced in felicitous words former Congressman S. J. Bowie, who in turn delivered an address which was frequently applauded. Mr. Bowie began by saying: "It is with pleasure that I have accepted the opportunity of presenting Doctor Washington to this audience. He is known not only throughout the length and breadth of this country, but throughout the world. That he stands for a sane and rational program for the improvement and uplift of his own people it seems to me cannot be reasonably doubted. However much certain theorists may wish it were otherwise, and however much it may have avoided complications and problems that would not now confront us if it had been otherwise, the fact remains that eight-tenths of the negroes of the United States live in the southern states and here they must continue to live. Some of them will, doubtless, as others have in the past, move to other states, and some who have moved to other states will doubtless return to these states. Such movements of population are common among the whites as well as among the blacks, but the fact still remains that the great majority of the blacks in this country not only now but for an indefinite time in the future must remain citizens of the south. The truth is that when efforts have been made in times past by emigration agents to move any considerable number of negro laborers from any neighborhood or county in the southern states to some other place, such movements have almost invariably been met with a pronounced and emphatic hostility of their white neighbors and employers, and so clear is this hostility that laws upon the subject having the definite object and purpose of checking the exodus of laborers by means of this sort have been enacted." After citing the law Mr. Bowie continued: "But there is a law of a higher nature and of greater consequence than the civil law which you see, manifested in the courts and in the police officials. I refer to the moral law. That law enjoins not only that you shall refrain from the commission of crime, but it enjoins certain positive duties. 'In the sweat of your own face shall you eat bread,' is a divine command, Industry and sobriety are required by laws as positive as that which says: 'Thou shalt not kill.' And this brings me to the point that is uppermost in my mind. "A few months ago Col. J. W. Church, who is now connected with Hampton institute, came into my office with Doctor Phillips and invited me to attend the commencement exercises of that institution. In the course of his conversation he referred to what Hampton was doing in the way of industrial education, and what it had done, and what it proposed to do in the future. He referred to the plan that had been adopted to have hundreds of small Hamptons educating the hand of the colored man to work so as to get the highest results of his labor at the same time that they educated the brain. These smaller institutions were to be spread not only all over Virginia, but throughout the south. I have a right to refer to Hampton institute, because the speakers of the evening is its most distinguished product. I listened with great interest as he unfolded the splendid plans which he had in his mind for the further growth and enlargement of that institution, and when I got an opportunity I said: 'But why should this work be started, why should so much money be expended for the negroes alone? Is not industrial education, the training of the hand, the training of the eye, along with the training of the brain, just as important for the white race as for the black? If we need industrial education to make better farmers, to make better carpenters, to make better brickmasons, to make better citizens for one race, why do we not need it for both? He said in reply: I thoroughly agree with your industrial education must be for both races; just now,' he said, 'our particular work is for the negroes and the Indians alone—the other will have to be evolved in the future.' I do not know of any reason why emphasis should be placed upon the observance of the primary virtues of industrial economy or thrift by one race above another, unless it is that our race needs teaching of that sort more than another. If so, then the greater emphasis should be placed where the greater necessity lies. But, at all events, if I understand the lesson which the eminent speaker of the evening has been teaching from one end of this country to the other, it is certainly a lesson which can and should command our unfailing and enthusiastic support." Doctor Washington began his address which lasted one hour and ten minutes. It was enthusiastically received, the applause being often led by the white listeners. It was considered to be one of the most remarkable addresses ever delivered to the colored citizens of Birmingham—remarkable for its absolute candor in dealing with the race problem. Following are some of the white citizens seated on the platform: Judge W. I. Grubb, Doctor Parks, Doctor Riley, Mr. Klotz, Judge Edmund H. Dryer, Hon. J. O. Thompson, Mr. Smith Cullom, Jr., Judge Crow, Professor White, Doctor Ullman, Mr. M. V. Joseph, Mr. Cabiness, Hon. John Frye, Ben M. Jacobs, Doctor Whaley, Mr. Gafford and several white ladies. Doctor Washington spoke as follows: "I am glad to be in Birmingham in connection with the beginning of the work of Dr. J. A. Whitted in a new church. I have known Doctor Whitted for many years in North Carolina, and there are fewer stronger and more useful men of our race anywhere than is true of him. "There is important work for a church to do in a city like Birmingham. The colored population of the Birmingham district is large and growing each year. Birmingham and Jefferson county contain not far from 100,000 colored people. This I think you will find the largest number, with possibly one other exception, of colored people in any county in the United States. The mere fact that so large a number of colored people are living in this county brings a tremendous responsibility to the church and people who have the interest of their community and state at heart. "There is perhaps no other country in the United States where colored people earn and handle so much money annually as they do in Birmingham and Jefferson county. It is safe to say that from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 are handled every year by our race in this county. "I sometimes fear that as a race we do not rightly appreciate our opportunities in this country in the matter of finding plenty of opportunities to live. In most of the older countries of the world there are thousands of people today who are seeking labor, who are willing to work for a very small wage. When I was in Europe last summer I saw numerous cases where thousands of people walked the streets at night and by day, sleeping sometimes on the sidewalks, sometimes under the trees in the parks, because they could not find labor with which to supply their wants. How different is it with the hundred thousand colored people in Jefferson county. I do not think I am far out of the way when I say that there is scarcely an able-bodied man or woman of our race in this county who cannot find plenty of work every day in the year, and in most cases instead of having to seek work, work seeks them. "The colored man as a laborer has an advantage again when compared with the condition of laboring classes among other races in the old world. During the past summer in southern Europe I saw strong, able-bodied men working for a wage of from 12 to 15 and 25 cents a day and glad to get work at that price. How different it is with the colored people in Jefferson county, where in many cases they earn from 10 to 12 times as much as the same class of laborers in southern Europe. "In Jefferson county the negro has spatted down a pretty big field in the matter of labor. I do not want to see my race merely tolerated in this county because it exists in large numbers, but I want to see my race in such a condition that it will actually be wanted and sought after because of its usefulness and high service. This means that in an increased degree everywhere the church as well as the school should teach our people reliability in matters of labor. "In some communities I am often told that while the negro is valuable for a certain kind of labor for a certain time, that one cannot depend upon him for constant, effective labor in too many cases. It is often said by those who employ our people in large numbers that the negro as a laborer is all right until Saturday night, when he gets his wage, and then one is not sure he will return to his place of employment or not until the last dollar is spent. If in any degree that is true in this county, it should be a part of the work of the church and of the school and of leaders generally to teach our people to become reliable, to keep their word in anything that relates to labor. If a promise is given to be at a given place of labor on Monday morning at a certain hour we must be there, no matter what befalls us. "And then we must remember that progress is being made in every kind of labor. The kind of labor that would satisfy on the farm, or in the factory or shop or kitchen or dining-room or laundry twenty years ago will not satisfy today. In all these respects improvements are constantly taking place, and the negro man and the negro woman must make progress or they will find themselves left behind and other races will come in and take their places in the world of labor which we now occupy. "I am glad to see that the colored people have two banking institutions in the city of Birmingham. This is most praiseworthy and important. It is not only necessary that our people have instilled into them proper methods of labor, but equally important that they be taught through the church and the school to save a large proportion of what they earn. And let me add here that it will pay every white man and every white lady who employs colored labor to encourage them to save a part of what they earn. The colored people for the most part who do not render satisfactory service as laborers is the class that have nothing and want nothing. The class of colored people who cannot be depended upon as laborers for the most part are those who want such a little that they can supply these wants by working two or three days in the week, and when they have gotten enough money to supply their few wants, whether it is a drink of whiskey or a chew of tobacco, then they stop work and say what the dickens is the use of working any longer. On the other hand, the colored man who owns a house and wants to add another room to that house, who owns one dwelling and wants to buy another dwelling, or the colored woman who has $100 in the bank and wants to put $200 in the bank. Is the individual who will work steadily for six or seven days in the week. "Through education the wants of the negro must be multiplied if we expect him to become more satisfactory as a laborer. Wherever people have little education, they do not give satisfaction as laborers, because ignorance means that the individual has few wants to be satisfied and these wants can be satisfied by working two or three days in the week and then the individual ceases to work. "A gentleman residing in Birmingham who has mining interests in Mexico told me a few days ago that the negro in Birmingham as a laborer was worth from three to four times as much as the Mexican as a laborer. This meant that the negro in Birmingham had by contact with the white man, through the influence of the church, the Sunday school, and the day school had been educated to some extent, had his wants increased above the wants of the Mexican, consequently the negro in Birmingham was more satisfactory as a laborer than the Mexican. In proportion as the colored people are educated everywhere, I repeat that thy will become more satisfactory as laborers. "I am glad to see that you are erecting new school buildings for the housing of the colored children in this city, and I am sure that our people appreciate everything that is done for them in this regard. To my own race in this county, however, I want to suggest that it is most important that a large proportion of the colored children be put into the public schools. I find that during the past school year while 88 per cent. of the white children in the county attended public schools, only 7 per cent. of the colored children in the county attended any public school. This means ignorance and ignorance means crime and crime means not only inefficiency, but it means in the last analysis a heavy load for the community and the state to carry. It is cheaper to educate than it is to punish. "The main point which I want to urge upon my colored hearers is this: Beginning from tonight, I want to urge that every member of our race begin to save a larger proportion of what he earns. Too much in the past we have squandered our earnings, it has been thrown away for things which we could have done without. In many cases we have worked hard all the week and then in a few minutes on Saturday night the last dollar has been squandered. So long as we have the reputation of being a race of spendthrifts, so long will our entire race be hindered in its progress. I want to urge each one of my hearers to exert his influence in helping our people start a bank account. Start a bank account in a white bank or in a colored bank; or if this is not desirable, invest money in property. The man who gets a start with a little money in the bank or in property ceases for the most part to become a criminal, he ceases to throw away his money for whisky and in gambling, and such an individual is very rarely charged with any kind of crime by the public authorities. "I cannot forbear to congratulate the colored people in Birmingham upon the progress that they are making. There are members of my race in Birmingham who by reason of their ownership in property, their intelligence, their high character and business success would do credit to any race, and I congratulate the white people of Birmingham upon the fact that for the most part friendly rela- tions exist between white people and black people in this community. One of our difficulties throughout the south grows out of the fact that the outside world hears of the worst things that take place between colored people and white people in the south; the outside world rarely hears of the friendly relations that exist between black people and white people. Getting down to bed rock, I find that the individual relations between black and white people are closer here in the south than between black people and white people anywhere in the world, and you can't find a portion of the civilized or un civilized world where there are so many black people living side by side with so many white people where the relations, all things considered, are so happy and friendly as they are in our southern states. "There is nothing over which to be discouraged. If we go forward doing our whole duty in the communities in which we live, in the long run all will be well." MISSIONARY JUBILEE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN WHITE WOMEN ADDRESS NEGROES AT CHARLESTON BISHOP GUERRY PRESIDES INTEREST IN RELIGIOUS FORWARD MOVEMENT. Charleston, S. C.—In connection with the golden jubilee, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of organized women's work for foreign missions, a largely attended mass meeting of colored people was held at Mt. Zion A. M. E. church. Rt. Rev. William A. Guerry, D. D., Episcopal bishop of South Carolina, presided and the meeting was addressed by the missionaries and mission workers who are making the tour of the south in the interest of the Golden Missionary jubilee. Rev. Abraham Lincoln De Mond introduced Bishop Guerry in a brief but pointed address that brought forth applause from the large audience. He spoke of the progress of the past 50 years, the noble work of women in the mission fields, and expressed the gratitude of the colored people for the interest Bishop Guerry had taken in their welfare. Bishop Guerry told of his lifelong friendship for the colored people, but said that he welcomed the day that finds the black man in larger and larger measure bearing his own burden. He said that as the Chinese were being Christianized by Chinese, so negroes must be evangelized by negroes. The missionary speakers for the evening were Mrs. W. Eugene Sallee, a native of Texas, who has just returned from mission work in the interior of China; Mrs. Henry W. Peabody of Massachusetts, who has spent many years as a missionary in India, and Miss Daisy Davies, field secretary of the Woman's Mission council of the Methodist Episcopal church, south. Miss Davies moved the audience to applause when she exclaimed: "If I had all the money that Barnum & Bailey's circus will take out of the southland this year I would build a hundred schools and send missionaries to the foreign field." The colored men of Charleston are co-operating in the Men and Religion Forward Movement campaign. An enthusiastic meeting of colored men was held at Mc. Zion church. Able addresses were delivered by R. H. King and Dr. A. R. Miller. The colored committee of one hundred was organized with the following officers: Chairman, Rev. N. B. Sterritt, D. D.; first vice-chairman, Rev. A. L. DeMund, D. D.; second vice-chairman, Rev. M. M. Mouzon, D. D.; third vice-president, Rev. S. D. Thom, D. D.; recording secretary, R. S. Lawrence; treasurer; W. R Campbell; corresponding secretary, Rev C. F. Gandy, D. D. CAPTAIN PROBABLY ADMITTED IT The skipper was a man who had a good opinion of himself and his notions. He had pulled through shipwreck, mutiny and other perils of the deep, but he came a cropper once. For one of his voyages he had shipped a boatswain's mate who bore something of a reputation. One day the skipper ordered him aloft to examine a sail on the royal yard. "Tain't safe, cap'n!" protested the boatswain's mate; "the foot ropes has got to be fixed first." "Do as I tell you!" thundered the captain. "The foot ropes are all right. I know they are." The man went up. Five minutes later he came tumbling down through the rigging from the top of the mast, a distance of over 100 feet. With a bang he landed on the belly of the mainsail and bounded into one of the canvas covered boats. The sailors, thinking him dead, crowded about him in a circle. To their amazement he sat up. His eyes wandered vacantly about until they rested on the leathery face of the skipper, when they lighted up with intelligence. "Cap'n," he said slowly; "you was mistaken about them foot ropes."—Tit-Bits, London. EDUCATION. "Fifth grade this year, Tommy?" "Yes, sir." "You're in decimals or fractions now, no doubt?"

Denver, Colo. HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL ASK OIL KING HOW HE GOT $699,000,000.00. CHARGES ARE SERIOUS MERRITT BROS. CLAIM ROCKE- FELLER CLOSED THEM OUT ON LOAN. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—John D. Rockefeller and his almoner, the Rev. F. D. Gates of Montclair, New Jersey, will be invited by the House committee investigating the United States Steel Corporation to reply to testimony given by Alfred and Leonidas Merritt of Duluth, Minnesota, charging that Rockefeller, through Gates as his agent, took from them, in 1893, $10,000,000 in Mesaba iron mine, and Duluth, Mesaba & Northern railroad securities, to satisfy a call loan for $420,000. These securities were afterward sold to the United States Steel Corporation and they now are a part of that corporation's vast holdings. After Leonidas Merritt, had testified that he had gone to New York with $10,000,000 in securities, had met Rockefeller and two months later had nothing except a "chance to walk from New York to Duluth on the ties," the steel committee had an executive session. Previously Chairman Stanley had announced that Rockefeller would be subpoenaed. The committee decided, however, merely to ask Rockefeller and Gates if they wished to appear and to give them an opportunity to be heard. "If Rockefeller does not wish to come before the committee," Chairman Stanley announced, "the committee will not issue a subpoena for him. The same applies to Gates." When Leonidas Merritt had completed his testimony in which he dramatically described how Rockefeller first had captured him with his proposal to form a consolidation of interests in the Lake Superior region, had loaned him money and later foreclosed on him, leaving him and his brother without any equity in properties they had discovered and financed, Representative Danforth of New York moved that the testimony of both brothers be stricken from the record on the ground that it was irrelevant to the inquiry. This motion was lost. In the discussion on the motion, Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, who voted with Danforth in favor of it, said he could see little of relevance to the question or to holding values and freight rates of the steel corporation. Leonidas Merritt, brother of Alfred Merritt, who told the story of the family loss of valuable ore and railroad property to John D. Rockefeller, referered before the committee many of his brother's statements. May Change Russian Treaty. Washington.—There is a well defined report that President Taft in his message to Congress might have something to say on the subject of negotiations between the United States and Russia, looking to a revision of the treaty of 1832, principally to remove the present restrictions upon the rights of travel and domicile of American Jews in Russia. President Taft already has received many insistent suggestions that the treaty with Russia be abrogated. On the other hand, some of the President's advisers, it is said, have counseled against such drastic action. Fort Worth, Texas.—Vice President and General Manager Whittenton of the Chicago, Rock Island & Texas railroad, says that a strike of 1,500 shopmen under his jurisdiction in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas is expected at any minute. The dispute is over wages and hours. Boxing in Theaters Illegal. New York.—The New York State Athletic Commission made the ruling that boxing in the theaters is illegal. The ruling is in line with the provisions of the boxing law that bouts may be held only in rings of chartered athletic clubs. Seattle Flood Conditions Better.

In his official capacity he has been guilty of abetting a lynching by a lawless mob. A Negro was arrested for assault near one of the towns in the interior of the State, and the Sheriff having him in charge, fearing a lynching, appealed to Governor Blease for troops to protect his prisoner. The Governor's answer was for the Sheriff to keep in touch with the situation and let him know the conditions the next morning. When next morning came the Sheriff reported that the Negro had been lynched. In an address delivered shortly after, Governor Blease said that the event was just as he expected and wished, and that, rather than send troops, he would have resigned his office and gone to lead the mob. This, from the head of a State government, who, as such, has sworn to support the constitution and to execute the law, is probably the most notorious confession of criminal complicity ever made by a high civil officer. The remark that he would have resigned his office is wholly boastful and superfluous. He has done greater crime as Governor than he could ever do as the leader of a hundred mobs. There is talk of his impeachment, and that is the only thing which can make the laws of South Carolina seem worthy of respect. THANKSGIVING. WHOEVER cannot be thankful cannot even begin to appreciate life. The privilege of living and knowing that there is a mighty universe, full of mysterious life, and that for some also mysterious but purposeful reason we form an infinitesimal but eternal part of it, is a great blessing. We should be thankful for life. But the smallest favor, the most meagre pleasure that we enjoy, is also a blessing, and for each and all of such blessings we should be thankful also. Life is made up of a multitude of blessings, many of which we are not disposed to recognize as such, because of our ignorance and shortsightedness. There are some ills and some mistortunes in life, for which we ourselves are not wholly to blame, but they are very few compared with our blessings. What we often call ills and misfortunes are usually blessings in disguise. The man who has not seen what he considered some great calamity turn into a great final blessing, is either yet very young or very obstinate and dumb. The so-called calamity may have changed his whole course of life, compelling him to give up things on which his heart was set, yet in after years, through greater and unexpected successes, or, perhaps, through a prolonged and more useful life, made possible only by that so-called calamity, he realizes the vastness and recognizes the mystery of the blessing that was strangely bestowed upon him. Many there are, no doubt, who take no account of such unseen guidance, preferring to credit their own personal shrewdness or to satisfy their consciences or gratify their vanity with assumptions of their great luck, for which they are not indebted. But why not remember the Source of all blessings and be thankful? For the thoughtless as well as the mindful, Thanksgiving Day comes and brings its opportunity for a united rendering of recognition and praise unto the Author of all of the world's joys. Opportunity is one of the greatest words in the language of men. It is the beginning of the way to the expression of the highest thought and the deepest longings which the human heart and brain can possess. The opportunity to be thankful and to express that thankfulness is the greatest blessing of all. Let us not miss it. Of course, a special day for thankfulness is not altogether necessary, but the union of thought and action is in itself helpful, and the Thanksgiving festival is graciously remindful. If you have been afflicted, you have also had sympathy or pity and the promise, the hope or the realization of healing joys. If you have been disappointed or thwarted in virtuous plans or ambitions, you have also been strengthened and made wiser and more fit for higher and greater effort. If you have seen your plans prosper, and rosette skies now spread over you in cheerful promise of the future, let humility and modesty, rather than pompous vanity, attend your actions and strengthen your security. If you have prospered and gained and are enjoying the fruits of ripe and well rounded effort, remember the sunshine that lighted your way, the rain that nourished your seed, the wisdom that directed your course, the health and strength that supported and sustained you, and above all, the ordering of the ways and of nature over which you had no control. And then, whether you are great, or small, thriving or striving, well or afflicted, give thanks to God that He has guided your way and knows the value of your righteous reward.

In large cities one escapes the borrowing neighbor because there is little or no acquaintanceship between families which are no farther apart than the thickness of a wall or floor and ceiling, but in small communities there is a temptation to remedy the shortcomings of one's household or wardrobe by the loan of articles belonging to neighbors and relatives. Borrowers have few scruples concerning the value of anything they may desire. There is no rary use of articles saves tre where card parties are freq cause it is understood that at the most. But invariably rowers stand ready to take arrangement where everybody eggs and butter and sugar, p forgetting to repay them. Fine-minded women are of any description.

But invariably articles are promptly returned and the bored ready to take their turn at lending. That is simply an act where everybody shares alike, and not a bit like borrowing butter and sugar, postage stamps and small sums of money, and to repay them.

Take a pair who are going to a matinee—before boarding a car one will ask: "Odd or even?" The answer settles the question of payment, for the the loser pays for both. The expense of lunches and teas is shared nowadays because the opportunity for payment does not always materialize. Of course, this plan is only used by women who are in the habit of going about together, when payment by either one all of the time would be manifestly unfair. When spending money is limited, what is known as "Dutch treat" is common. It is a custom with college boys as well as girls and finds favor with wage earners. It allows one to shoulder no more than personal expenses in any kind of recreation.

T P. R. S. By JOHN L. GEHRING Isn't it about time that we stopped demanding of American labor that it lower its standard of living to that of the foreign laborer? If bean soup and rye bread is a better diet than meat and white bread by all means argue for bean soup and rye bread, but recommend them as foods for all classes and not simply for the working-man so that he can live more cheaply. Start the reform where people have got farthest away from the simple food idea—in the high priced clubs and hotels and the millionaires' homes. That is where it is most needed. As to complaints regarding ungrateful and disobedient children, the fault lies, it seems to me, neither with the average parents nor with the callous, superficial young persons. It is not an individual trouble of individual families, in the main, but rather a result of the present money mad, sensation chasing general public spirit, with its cynical and heartless lack of morality. Nothing else but such tragedies of family life can be reasonably expected when as in Chicago the young folks are forced to fight for jobs without living wages, tempted on all sides and out of touch with the Y.

Whereas, for the last few weeks, rumors of an unsavory nature have been circulated throughout the city relative to the character of our pastor, Rev. A. E. Reynolds; after due consideration and investigation on the part of the officers of the church; the following resolutions were passed: Be it Resolved, that we, the members of Bethlehem Baptist church, continue our confidence and fidelity as we have always done in the past; be it further Resolved, that we pledge him our undaunted support and encouragement, that he may be able to preach pastor and perfect the work that we believe has been assigned to him to do in this city, and believe him to be a Christian gentleman. And we do sincerely beg the co-operation of the better thinking people to come to our assistance in doing the work of the Master in this part of the vineyard.

CHURCH NOTES Twenty-sixth and Clarkson Streets. Our general officers and general conference district representatives have come and gone. Their ever-enduring impressions left through the messages delivered for the past two Sundays will remain. The pastor will preach Sunday morning. The study of Paul's letter to the Romans will be resumed. We need a revival. Let us get ready to have the grandest revival in the short history of the church. Bishop Scott's sermon brought quite a deal of very favorable comment. He preached under a severe handicap, as the bishop was suffering with a cold. We thank our friends who attended and who contributed so liberally on our urgent interest and insurance debt. The funeral service of the late Mrs. Ella Simonton was conducted from the residence of Mrs. Vernon last Sunday afternoon. The pastor delivered the funeral oration. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. McPherson, the devoted sister, and to Mr. Simonton, the faithful husband. She leaves a host of friends to mourn her loss. We must urge our friends to report for the tickets sold for Dr. Mason's lecture. We thank them in advance for their kindness in assisting us. Dr. B. T. McEwen, Corinth, Miss., preached a soul-stirring sermon last Sunday evening to a large and appreciative audience. Dr. McEwen is a prominent minister of the Mississippi conference. Scotts choir sang at Grace M. E. church last Sunday evening on the occasion of the appearance of Bishop Hamilton, who was once secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society. Dr. Mason is serving in this position and may be made bishop at the next general conference. The services of the choir were highly complimented by the bishop and pastor of Grace church. We have some splendid singing material in Scotts. Miss Lela Rice and Mrs. Mary L. Hicks were the leaders. The Methodist Episcopal church reaffirms its position on the race problem in the United States by giving large appropriations for the colored work. The church stands for equal opportunity to all races in the struggle upwards. Bishops Scott and Hartzel were highly praised for their work in Africa by Bishop Wilson, who was appointed by the board of bishops to visit this dark continent of hope and inspiration to inspect the work and report to the general committee and the general conference. Bishop Scott has made good in Africa. The outlook for two Negro bishops in this country is flattering. Bishop Moore has come out in the open and is now urging general conference to elect two bishops for our colored work. Good. The Negro membership is increasing in a marvelous degree, according to statistics. Furnished rooms for rent, 1272 Kalamath street. Call Ellsworth 1476. Five-room house for rent, 320 24th street.

Meeker.—Through the state's assert ing prior right, settlers in this section are beginning to receive notices from the land headquarters in Washington to the effect that their homestead filings have been cancelled and that their land holdings revert back to the government, then to become the prop: erty of the state. None of the settlers who have thus summarily been dis: possessed had received any previous warning. ‘Che notices in each case are peremptory. declaring in substance that the filings have been declared null and void, and giving the granger stipulated time in which to vacate the premises. On his failure to do so, he becomes a trespasser and subject to the usual action in a case of that kind No recourse is allowed"him. All im- provements which he has made on the land and all money spent become 9 dead loss. ‘The land affected by this action of the department comprises many thou sands of acres all through the White River valley. Without exception it Is all valuable farming and grazing lam! and has practically all been filed on. By act of Congress March 15, 1910, the state of Colorado was given school indemnity land, June 22, 1910, the State Land Board applied for lands in question. March 11, 1911, the secretary of the interior withdrew the lands—a portion of the area being on Little Beaver— but no one there knew it. Settlers have entered that section; they have filed upon these same lands; they have improved their holdings, some of them spending from $500 to $1,500 on their claims. Now claimants are being notified that the General Land Office is cancelling their filings.

Turn Over a New Leaf —aae—— By subscribing for THIS PAPER AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS a ae ee ee ee eee a years, there has been an extensive ‘property birthed out of the annals of ‘the negro race in America, and that 18 enlightenment. He has left that pe- ‘riod of ignorance to a new and intel- ‘ligent age, which he 1s living up to. During the negro’s stage of bond- age, Wen he was wholly {gnorant and half-civilized, of course, he could not be looked upon by a clvilized people for civilized considerations, for he was their slaye, a drawer of water and fa hewer of wood. ‘The American white “man upheld clyilization and intelligence (though he did hold slaves—an uncivilized act) and ali that pertained to the uplift: ing of humanity, though some of the southern Americans were not inter ested enough in civilization and jus- tice to part with their barbarous sliv- ery. Any way it happened that -jus- tice prevailed once in the negro’s favor, and that was when he was lib- erated. ‘The present negro has caused dis- sension, turmoil and strife throughout the country. ‘The white man is contending for an intelligent nation. The negro 1s be- coming intelligent, but he 1s lowered in the estimation of the white man, ‘as he advances in civilization. Does the white man see or care for his ad- vancement? He may want educated and refined men and women, but it seems that the majority of them do not want educated and refined black men and women. * The white man {s blind or pretends so, when it cames to classing the ne- gro. He classes all of us with the jait bird, habitual transgressor and the lowest type of the race. We are trying to satisfy him by ac- quiring an education that we may compete with the world. If this will not work with a clvilized people, what's next. He undoubtedly under- stands.—Palestine Plaindealer. It has been noted by several news- papers that the Mexican laborer 1s rapidly displacing the negro laborer and that the latter shows no resent- ment. "That Mexican laborers are becom- ing numerous throughout many states of the south cannot be denied, but that they are displacing negro laborers 1s putting it too strong, however pleas- ing. the Inference may be to the writ ers. The facts are these. The south is undergoing a wonderful industrial development; the negro cannot supply the demand for this new labor. Further, the negro has been leav- ing the south for years, going to all parts of the world; he has been going into business and into the professions, and buying farms of his own. ‘There are a large number of loaf- ers among us—but we have nothing to do with enforcing the law, and conse- quently are powerless to remedy that state of affairs. The statement that the Mexicans are displacing negro Ia- bor, implying, as it does, that the lat- ter are inefficient and too trifling to work, is all clap-trap and bosh. ‘The fact is, there’s not. enough of working negroes to go round. One re- port of this Mexican invasion tells of the efforts of employes to make their surroundings pleasant and com- fortable and that many of them are given free transportation to the old home once a year. Finally the Mexican fits well in our industrial scheme, because he gets along well with the negro, working right along by the side of him. How long will he be here, though, before he is taught by countless incidents that he is the negro’s superior and therefore ought not to work with him? —*Old Hickory.” the stability of civilized society is the outcome of a proper adjustment of human affairs, which a general diffu- sion of knowledge embodies. In many localities where a lack of edu- cational activity is noticeable, the re- sults may be traced to the unsatis- factory surroundings, meager equip- ments and inefficient forces of the public schools located in their midst. Such circles, already widély spread are increasing yearly; and their baneful influences are exerting them- selves in a marked degree, which proves to be of great detriment to ® large portion of the negro common- wealth. Observant eyes, scanning the mental horizon, cannot fail to detect the dark spots creeping upon its borders, threatening to overshad- ow our intellectual sun by the thick- ness of their mantle. The danger arises not more from the manifest indifference of officials exercising supervision of the public funds, than the apparent blindness onthe part of parents who fail to see the ne- cessity of personal sacrifice to enable them, by largely suplementing the scanty appropriation from the public purse, to secure the services of those instructors whose fitness would ele- vate them and lift the community to higher grounds. Imbued with false notions as to that which leads to in- dividual importance and determines one’s social status among his fellow- men, the negroes, in no small num- bers, are abject slaves to fashion, which has developed unquenchable desires for finery and dimmed their range of vision in quest of nobler things. Hence ignorance ts gaining ground where intelligence should rule. Outward appearance is not always a true test of prosperity; for extrava- gance is the forerunner of poverty. To elevate the mind, and beautify the inward man for the reception of noble truths are, to many, after- thoughts whose existence appeals to fancy rather than reality. The spir- it, herein portrayed, 1s not univer- sal, however. There are a chosen few, comparatively speaking, whose zeal has not fagged from discourage- ment; nor have they failed to show their hands and exert their energies where meritorfous services are re- quired. Time was when authorities did much to encourage parental ef- forts in the intellectual field and stimulated endeavors by the aid of liberal compensation from public cof fers. A generous rivalry on all lines of activity, sprang vn; and the re sources of the various colleges of At- lanta were heavily taxed to meet the existing crave for knowledge. They were cases of necessity; thor- oughness was required in dispensing information; and ample preparations were necessary to meet the demands of the hour. In every stage of hu- man action, indifference creeps in when interest takes its flight; and when our minds become thoroughly adjusted to surrounding circum- stances, we settle down to a state of apathy unmindful of the great dam- ages being wrought through the in- fluence of incompetency. The cheap- est material 1s often the costliest in the end; and we often lose a dollar in our efforts to save a dime. A butchered mind in childhopd is a drawback to the individual in matur- er life; and such is caused by a want of foresight created by igno- rance and greed. “Let there be light,” said the Creator in the beginning, and there was light; but darkness was dispelled by a Master mind. Ig- norance suporting its kind can make no satisfactory report; and its mis- sion will tend only to render condl- tions more appalling. The errors we commit against ourselves should ap- peal to our correction, since our wel- fare alone is the most affected, and others are not supposed to be wor- ried about our own concerns. We hope the ray may dawn upon our be- nighted souls and awaken our slum: bering senses, that we may rightly view the path of wisdom, and choose to walk therein. The oolonel of one of the negro regiments in the regular army is a southerner and a small, dignified man. His first name is James. He believes in athletjcs and organized two base- pall teams among his enlisted men. ‘They played a match game. The colonel didn’t think the men were showing enough spirit and vim, al- though the score was close. He jerked off his uniform coat, grabbed a bat and declared himself in. “Now, then,” ‘he yelled, as he ad- vanced to the plate, “as long as I've got no shoulder straps on I want you men to treat me just as if I were one of you.” ‘The pitcher whirled the ball across und the colonel cracked out a three- bagger. He tried to stretch ft into a home run. As he turned third base on the dead run the coacher for his side opened up “Rum, you pore little sawed-off, bow- laiged white runt! Run!” he shouted. “Now slide, old Jimboy, dadgum you— slide!” ‘Whe colonel slid and got there. Then he went over and put his coat on.— Saturday Evening Post. ‘The Montgomery Industrial School for Girls, with Miss Alice White and Miss Margaret Beard, principals, has opened for the winter and every indi- cation {s that they will have a suc- cessful year. Here at this school every Christian influence is thrown around the students. Girls are not only trained in the Hterary branches, but are trained also in the industries and domestic science. But perhaps the greatest good lies in the gentle, Chris- tian, refined spirit these girls seem to possess after attending the school. We wish for the principals and teachers a year of uninterrupted quiet and prog- ress.—Colored Alabamian. Jack Johnson 1s going some. He has almost exhausted his fortune for fun nd pleasure. It fs reported he was compelled to pawn his jewels and au- tos to get enough money to pay his at- tendants and defray other expenses. ‘Phere’s nothing in sight for Johnson to fight just now, so he had better cut down expenses. The money he threw out to the English vagabonds on the streets of London could have gone to assist many a poor, uncared-for negro nauper and child. Now is the season for the fool cot- ton pickers both men and women of the race to “ride de kars” on the happy go lucky order and walk to and fro from the front coach to the back talking loud and acting such fools as to make decent people sick of their ac- tions und ashamed to be one of them. — Waco Counselor.

LICENCED EMBALMER DEAELR IN PHONE YORK 6350 Denver, Colo Opposite Daniels and Fisher's ANNUAL NOVEMBER SALE of A WEN Milady starts out for her week-end visit, economy of packing, as well as variety in little accessories, is prominent in her mind. This little lace garment will turn a sombre costume into an evening toilet or make a low-necked gown suitable for afternoon tea, hence it is called "Utility," and its right to the name will easily be seen. MADE UP FROM OUTWORN HAT|IN WHITE OR BLUE SERGE Photograph by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. Novel Bag Favors Easily Made From Material After It Has Served Original Purpose. Carefully preserve the white or light colored Milan, horse hair, Tuscan, chip or Panama hat. If it cannot be made over into headgear for another summer, it certainly can be transformed into a bag for holding handkerchiefs simply by flattening out the brim, facing it with a shirring of chiffon of whatever shade is to be the color scheme of the bag, finishing its edge with a quilling of narrow ribbon and then putting a deep, full lining of heavy silk into the crown of the hat. This lining is made in the usual way with drawstrings at its top, but instead of being tucked backward into the crown, it is drawn upward by supplementary straps of ribbon attached to its sides, and these in turn are joined to the center of the strings or handle attached to two opposite sides of the hat's brim. To make the illusion of the hat more complete, the crown is sometimes trimmed with large bows of ribbon or wreaths of flowers, but its top must always be kept flat so that it may set squarely upon any smooth surface. Another novel handkerchief bag which will do as a favor for either a man or a girl at a dance may be made from a half yard length of China silk. One end of the silk is hemmed over a small wooden embroidery ring, across which has first been stretched a piece of the same silk to form the bottom of the bag, whose other end is drawn over a second embroidery ring, which is left uncovered. When held upright by this second ring the bag is pipe shaped and has an open top, but it may be securely closed by twisting its center and dropping the upper ring squarely upon the mass of silk. Scissors Case. A pretty scissors case can be made by cutting two triangular pieces of cardboard a little larger than the size of the scissors they are to cover, and a small triangular-shaped piece to serve a a flap to the case. Cover all with silk, satin or any fancy piece of material, turning in the edges and whipping the silk on the boards. Now sew the longest edges of the board together and the flap to the short edge of one board. Sew a pretty cord, gift if possible, all the way around the edge of the case and fasten the flap down with a small bow or ribbon or a fancy button. This would make a dainty and useful holiday gift if fitted with a good pair of scissors. * Her Gloves. For tailored suit wear, for mornings, shopping occasions and general work, she always popular capeskin in the pretty autumn tans will be the glove she will adopt. For the afternoons, however, and the evening, she will divide her choice—for the soft, velvet-like suedes will be almost as fashionable as the smooth-finished and fine French kidskins. Plain white, of course, will be very greatly worn, but pale tans—biscuit, champagne, delicate mode, pearl gray and the creamy yellows will also come in for a due share of attention. White Gaiters Are Worn. White Gaiters Are Worn. The woman who has pumps and does not wish to get high shoes until it in the winter can now use her both gaiters and be very much in style. White ones are quite the fashion, and their rivals are pearl gray. These are worn with the black shoes with all kinds of gowns that are short and for the street. Complete Outfit That Can Not Help but Look Well Made Up of Either Material. Either navy or white serge looks well made in this style. The skirt is a three-piece patte n, having a wide front, and sides joining up center back; the front is joined to sides by S a wrapped seam, and buttons add a finish at foot. The fronts of coats are prettily cut, and are laid to sides with a wrapped seam, buttons forming the trimming. The large collar is faced with black and white plaid silk. Hat of navy straw, trimmed with wide glace ribbon. Materials required: 5 yards 46 inches wide, 2 dozen and four buttons, $ \frac{1}{2} $ yard silk for facing collar, $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $ yards satin for lining coat. Up-to-Date Stationery. It is entirely a matter of choice whether one shall use white or tinted writing paper, and whether that paper shall have a linen or, as it is called, lawnette finish or a smooth surface. Domestic paper inclines to the lawnette finish and to somewhat decided, but quiet, colors, such as the new Helen pink (named in honor of the president's daughter), fawn color, which is being used a great deal, the popular orchid-lavender, and the newly introduced Continental buff.—Harper's Bazar. Favored Styles The tendency is largely towards suits having trimming on the collars, cuffs, and revers and occasionally on the skirts. Many of the recent models have revers which almost close in the front, thus making them practicable for cold weather. A number have the long single revers which can be fastened over on the left side. Others coats are made in shield effect and have small standing or turnover collars.
