LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY NEGRO AND CHRISTIANITY What the Negro has a Right to Expect of Christianity. Rev. R. A. Grant in Southern Life Magazine. VOL. XVIII. NEGRO CHRIST What the Negro has a Right Rev. R. A. Grant in S By Christianity we mean that form of religion which is based on Jesus Christ, the Incarnate God, brought out most beautifully in the beloved Apostle's words: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Nay, not a form only, but a system of life, feeding upon the principles given us by Jesus Christ. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." With this definition in view, what has the Negro a right to expect of Christianity, first, as a man? There is a spark of individuality in every human being, that, if properly fanned, blazes into the fire that brings out the realization that he is a man. A great awakening is on like unto the awakening of 1835, when were seen the effects of the preaching of the gospel upon the people of the colonies. A greater upheaval is being felt by the world today than when the deeps of the European world were broken up by the restlessness of the people making demands for their rights, because this mixture of dirt and water, driven on by the soul, is responding to the demands of the world coming into the man. China, under Christian influence, is being cleaned up, and men are being saved. Africa, under English rule, is in better shape than she would have been without it, for the spirit of Christianity now broods over her like the hen over her chicks, and facts show that she, too, is rising and answering the call of Christianity. The Negro here has already come into the limelight of Christianity; then why should there not be a refluent wave? Take a man and rob him of that most important factor, manhood, and his life is deprived of all that ought to make him the being intended for him to become; and because the Negro has been robbed of those privileges which otherwise might be his, some have grown discouraged and despondent, but the optimistic among expect Christainity to lift his clouded sky, broaden his narrow vision, break down the hedges growing about him. The idea of handing a lump of sugar to a horse works equally well in the case of a man; and although he does not look for sugar by the barrel full emptied at his door, he does expect to be permitted to reach out his hand with the rest of men and grasp a lump unintimidated. Sometimes it has been said that the measure of the standard of a man, to which the world has its high ideal formed, cannot be attained by the Negro, but blind indeed must be the person who cannot see the facts being brought each day, showing that the steeps are being climbed and the --- ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION summits reached. For I am sure you are conversant with the facts of the "Forward Movement," the Y. M. C. A. Rally, and when you remember that these are practically new movements among us, the great measure in which he is responding to these demands and responsibilities can be better appreciated. In Chicago it was announced that two philanthropists offered $25,000, to be given if they could among themselves raise $50,000. When the lists came in they had $66,000. In Philadelphia, figures show that Negroes subscribed $25,000, and in Atlanta, not long ago, two Negro men gave $1,000 each, and one $500, for the Young Men's Christian Association work. You may say I have cited you only an instance, and if you do I shall tell you that if one Negro goes wrong, you make more of that than I have made of this instance. Theories of evolution have been relied upon to prove that the Negro evolved from a lower animal, but it has not been satisfactorily shown so no objection if, as Coburn says, man was evolved from a lower order. I heard a gentleman say that we are all made out of one mud, and another fittingly replied, yet, and saved by one blood. We expect the truth of Paul's statements to be made evident in the life of the world through Christianity (Gal. 3:28): "There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." (Acts 17:26): "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." I read in the Evening Metropolis of February 28, this year, a plea of a lawyer for a white boy fourteen years old, convicted of burglary, and after he had told of the disadvantages through which the boy had come, he said: "But we ought not to condemn a boy offhand, like that, when we know that a rose can't bloom in the dark, nor a diamond sparkle until it is dug out of the ground, cut and polished, and a boy has to have a chance, too. You have heard my story; if any man wishes to give this boy a chance, communicate with me." Thus, if this is a plea from a standpoint of Christianity, and I believe it, we look to Christianity, knowing through what the Negro has come, and that he is still in his boyhood, to give him a chance due a member of the family of Adam. What has the Negro a right to expect of Christianity, second, as a citizen of the Republic? The Negro has proven himself loyal and true to every call and claim of this great Republic. For when the burning desire for freedom from Enghe was there. When the last possessil oppression saw the light of day, sion of the United States was received DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2 1911. State Hist & Not Hist Society State House TRONIZE MERC RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO with open hands, he was there. From the riot in Boston to the Spanish-American war, the blood of the Negro has been mingled with the blood of other men, making a mighty stream, the price bringing us freedom, protection and the enlargement of our borders. As for bravery, there is no smirch upon him, for he has shown himself worthy of this trust to all rational minds. If any doubt, just one reference, and that is all I have space to make. Take a run with me to San Juan, and see him as he climbs through shot and shell to the head of the fort and places there the pride of the Republic—Old Glory. For scholarship he has snowed under all attacks made upon him by measuring up to the standards of educational heights, and in the classes of artists, specialists and inventors he is found. For the accumulation of property he has outstripped the record found upon the historical setting of the world's progress, and now owns and controls, according to Dr. Booker T. Washington—and he is no mean authority—five hundred and fifty million dollars' worth of property, two hundred thousand homes. He should be guaranteed protection, food, clothing, shelter, safety of life and property, prosperity, healthful sanitary systems, comfort and security. Like the men during the time of the revolutionary uprising who cried "Peace, peace, peace," but there was no peace, there are among us those who cry "Patience, patience, patience." This almost ceases to be a virtue when you remember that of unrest has been born the noblest acts, greatest deeds, highest achievements. Then there are those who rest secure upon the adage, "Good things come to those who wait," but they must turn and read on the other side, "All things come to those who hustle while they wait." Christianity takes care of the yellow man in China, the black man in Africa, but the Negro is here and expects humane treatment. He expects Christianity to save him from being ignored, mobbed and exploited. He expects Christianity to see to it that he is treated sanely, sympathetically, and also steadfastly and intelligently. He does not expect of Christianity special friendship, but he does expect the friendship and conisderation due a man on the basis of the Fatherhood of God, Saviorhood of Christ and Brotherhood of Man. Thus we would get the equality guaranteed by the true exemplification of the principles given by Christ, for there is no color of the soul. A little more Christinatiy for the white man, as well as for the Negro, will go a long way toward solving the so-called race problem on these shores. It has been said, and it is a good point, that "the white man of the South will not say 'Mister,' yet a Christian will call him brother." This points to a settlement of the so-called race question. A weaker, a more deficient and perhaps an erring brother he may be, but the Negro is still a brother. He is one of God's children. He is a member of the great human family for whom Christ died. Tested. "You should instruct your son," said the gratuitous adviser, "that in order to get on in the world he must endure toil and hardship and keep his nerve." "Well," replied Farmer Corntossel, "I guess Josh'll qualify all right. He's been initiated in the college fraternity and is a member of the football team." UPLIFT WORK AMONG COLORED GIRLS. At the Hope Day nursery in New York the last week in October an important meeting of the conference of workers among colored girls was held for the purpose of outlining plans for the winter work of the organization. The meeting was well attended by persons who have had long experience in work for the betterment of women and girls in large cities. An earnest effort will be made to secure good homes and better paying positions for those who seek assistance through this agency. All admitted that the environment for strangers seeking employment in the city was far from what it should be in the matter of lodging places and social contact. JEANES FUND BOARD TO MEET. It is definitely announced that the Board in charge of the million-dollar fund set apart by Miss T. Jeanes for the benefit of the rural schools of the South will meet at the White House December 14th. The report of the year's work will be heard and many recommendations will be considered. Dr. Washington will be here. President Taft is a member of the board, and has evinced a constant interest in the progress of the work the board is carrying on. The vacancy caused by the death of Bishop Grant will be filled. Bishop G. W. Clinton of the A.M. E. Zion church, Bishop Ellas Cottrell of the C. M. E. church, and Professor H. T. Kealing, president of the Western University at Quindare, Kansas, are mentioned as possibilities for the place. The colored members of the board, besides Dr. Washington, are J. C. Napier, Major R. R. Morton and R. L. Smith of Texas. THE REWARD OF FAITHFULNESS. There are times in the struggles of this life when we feel as though our efforts to pursue an honest and upright course availeth nothing; but ere last something everlastingly blessful happens and an impetus is given to our noble endeavors, never to be erased from our memory. Our path may be rugged, our mission or vocation burdensome; but if we plow on, we will finally achieve a goal. It is well to have a vacation in life, but to do well what our hands find to do makes a man, twice what he might otherwise be. An honest, trustworthy reputation is something to live for; and if need be to die for. Our vocations may be a life of toil and hard applications; with the rewards and emoluments lying far in the future; but duty demands that we act well our part; that we perform our task cheerfully, honorably, faithfully and punctually. That the late Mr. C. B. Kountze president and founder of the Colorado National Bank, fully recognized these sterling qualities in Mr. John R. Contee, of this city, is evidenced in his bequeath of five hundred dollars $500) to him recently. Mr. Contee has served Mr. Kountze for more than thirty years in the capacity of caretaker of the Colorado National Bank He has always been a cheerful, faithful and a trusty employee, as is evidenced by his own continued length of service; and this neat testimonial of the regard and esteem in whihc Mr. Contee was held by Mr. Kountze, will be long remembered and never forgotten by Mr. Contee and his friends. Mr. Contee has lived here for many years, owns a lovely residence together with much other real estate and is one of our leading undertakers. RACE NEWS The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Booker T. Washington is principal, has just received a legacy of $10,000 from the estate of the late Maria Blanchard of Philadelphia, Pa. Movements to better conditions for all sorts of race types in New York, as well as in all the other large cities, are beginning in earnest to include the Negro people in the plan and scope of their work. In the past year a well appointed Young Men's Christian Association building, each to cost $100,000, has been pledged for the Negroes on Philadelphia, Washington, Indianapolis and Chicago. New York has no such building, but badly needs three—one in the West Fifty-third, one in the East Ninetieth and one in the Harlem districts. "The Great Northern railway has installed Japanese on sleeping, chair dining and buffet cars," declared Mr. James A. Ross, editor of the official waiters and porters' magazine, "and the Brozel Hotel at Buffalo, employing sixteen men, has also substituted Japanese for colored men," he added. It has long been known that Japanese made very popular servants, and the rich people on the Pacific slope are said to employ them as cooks, "house maids" and butlers in large numbers. As there are almost unlimited numbers of Japanese to draw upon the colored waiters and porters may well look to their laurels if they expect to hold their present employment in the United States. Mr. Ross was on his way home last Monday to line up the Negro Democrats of New York for next year's There are now about 40,000 West Indian Negroes on the Canal Zones. What will become of them when the work is done no one may predict. When the French failed thousands of Negroes were left there stranded, and their governments were forced to convey them back home. It is possible that this will happen again, although conditions never again can be as bad as they were then. But, come what may, the Negro has had its full share of the construction of the canal. He has been well paid in money, and he deserves also to be remembered in the gratitude of the great American republic. According to a preliminary bulletin issued by the United States Census Bureau, the colored population of West Virginia is increasing faster than that of any other state. Every southern state, with the exception of West Virginia, shows a large relative increase in white people. The bulletin states that the white population of West Virginia increased from 915,233 in 1900 to 1,156,817 in 1910, a growth of 26.4 per cent. The colored population increased from 53,949 to 64,173 in the same period, a gain of 47.5 per cent. This comparatively large increase is due to the fact that this state offers large industrial opportunities to men, and the fact that there is no disfranchisement or other discriminations here, as in most of the other states of the South. President Taft is again at his post at the White House, after his long tour of the country, and is hard at work on his annual message to Congress. That he will take high ground on the tariff, trusts, cost of living, and all of the questions that affect the plain people goes without saying. The colored citizens expect a ringing denunciation of the lynching evil along with his other declarations for the public weal. The document will be the most significant and comprehensive state paper that has come from the White House during President Taft's incumbency. It will be read with interest by every American. That President Taft is stronger with the people, white and black, by reason of his meeting face to face and speaking frankly to the hundreds of thousands of his fellow-citizens, all will have to agree.

Mr. Ross was on his way home last Monday to line up the Negro Democrats of New York for next year's campaign. At a meeting of the trustees of Fisk University, held in New York, November 16, it was reported by the treasurer that $122,000 had been subscribed to the $300,000 fund for improvements and endowment. The General Education Board has promised $60,000. Colored people everywhere are asked to be specially interested in the attempt to put a first-class college on its feet, because it is an institution which stands for the highest development of which young Negroes are capable. The institution offers the most thorough education and training of which a man is capable is the possibility held out. An effort is being made to provide Fisk with some of the money distributed for educational purposes by Negroes. The college is fortunate in having such a choice man for president as Dr. George A. Gates. The trustees are: Charles A. Hull, chairman; E. L. Simmons, treasurer; Booker T. Washington, Paul D. Cravath, Augustus F. Beard, George A. Gates, Robert J. Gross, James G. Merrill, George W. Moore, Charles J. Ryder and Charles H. Rutan. The New York office of the university is 95 William street. JACK JOHNSON HAS RETIRED. "I have just received a letter from a friend in London to the effect that Jack Johnson actually has retired from the ring," said Tom O'Rourke. "I cabled to my friend while I was manager of the Royale A. C. to interview Johnson and offer him $25,000 to box ten rounds with either Langford or Jeannette. "When the heavyweight champion received this proposition he stated that he couldn't accept it because he had quit the ring forever. Incidentally he turned down an offer of $30,000 to box in Australia. "Johnson also informed my correspondent that he didn't care who claimed the heavyweight title, that he considered it open for competition and didn't intend to dictate his successor. "There's no doubt in my mind that Johnson has retired for all time, and I believe that the boxing game will be benefited. Of course, Langford and Jeannette will lay claim to Johnson's title, but that will not discourage the white heavyweights. Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has al- ways avoided the fallacies and knaveries ‘of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circula- tion proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepre- sentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals.

It is expected that the show in January v:il bring to Denver ‘over 40,000 people from outside of tho city, The railroads have made low rates from all parts of the West.

WOMEN TAKE PART TORTURED AND STARVED, MEN ARE BURIED IN GROUND ALIVE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Stories of almost incredible barbarities practiced by Arabs and Turks are contained in dispatches received at the Italian embassy here. In one from Rome the Italian minister of foreign affairs describes alleged atrocities practiced on the Italian wounded, which includes crucifixion and burial alive. Women, it is said, take part in the perpetration of the cruelities. The dispatch, which is signed by Signor San Guilano, minister of foreign affairs, follows: "Near the mosque of Hani, where the medical post of the Twenty-seventh battalion of Bersaglieri had been located, and in its vicinity, twenty-eight bodies of our soldiers were found. They were horribly mutilated, crucified, with their throats cut open, impaled, torn to pieces and dismembered. Among them was the body of a surgeon lieutenant. "In the Arab cemetery, near the place where the Fourth company of Bersaglieri was located, seven bodies of Bersaglieri were discovered. They had been interred alive, with the heads out of the earth. The body of one of these shows that he had been terribly tortured. It showed many shot and dagger wounds; the eyes had been pulled out and threaded and the eyelids sewn to the brows. This body shows terrible spasmodic contractions. Another one had one arm out of the earth, from which the hand had been cut off. The body of a Bersaglieri had been torn to pieces. "A captain's cap has been found and its owner was identified by Corporal Pesqui, who escaped after remaining four hours in a ditch. He testified that among the ferocious ill-treating hordes were Turks and women. The military engineer corps took photographs. "It is reported that in the Arab cemetery in the interior of the city the body of an Italian gunner was found with many dagger wounds. The murderers were many and among them was a local policeman (Zaptie) who is under arrest. From other sources it is reported that the murder was committed by the aforesaid Zaptie, with the passive assistance of other Zaptie, who concealed the crime." The dispatch also confirms the withdrawal of the Italian troops from Horni. This, it is said, was necessary because the Turks had polluted the wells. MANCOS WANTS MONEY For Roads and Other Improvements at Mesa Verde Park. Washington—The Mancos Commercial Club has requested Senator Guggenheim to secure, if possible, the full amount asked by the superintendent of the Mesa Verde National Park for roads and other improvements during the coming fiscal year. The department of the interior desires to spend $41,615 on the Mesa Verde National Park during the year, if the amount requested by the secretary of the interior is appropriated by Congress. This is an increase of $34,115 over the appropriation for the current fiscal year. The main items are: Completion of wagon road to cliff dwellings, $7,000; reconstruction and repair of constructed road including widening, surfacing and leveling of roadbed and the building of retaining walls, $20,000; construction of road from Spruce Tree house to Balcony house, $1,000; repair of road traversing public lands leading to park high way, $1,500; construction of custodian's house, $2,500; construction of telephone line from custodian's house to Mancos, $3,000; contingent expenses and salaries, $6,615. For development and care of the national parks the secretary of the interior has asked Congress to appropriate $701,080, an increase of $617,830 over the appropriations for the current fiscal year.

THE AFTERMATH OF THANKS- GIVING. Our Thanksgiving has come and gone. Beautiful and impressive services were held at the various churches by their pastors and oongregations, many of which also rendered literary and musical programs. Many private solcals were had, aside from other public entertainments by clubs, organizations, etc. All of which indicate that our modern Thanksgiving remains within the confines of the ancient Thanksgiving. We copied the time, in fall, after the harvest days. The charity from the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles; the feast from those of Demeter and Ceres who gave thanks for the crops. The mirth and festivity from the English Harvest Home, and the spirit of Thanksgiving and religious adoration from the Pilgrim Forefathers. THE FOOTBALL FESTIVITY. The glorious events of the season was pulled off Thursday at the University park when the famous eleven of the 9th Cavalry troop of Fort Russell, Wyo., met the Y. M. C. B. team of this city. All Denver elites were there to spru their boys on to victory, but they were stubbornly met by the rooters which the soldier boys brought down with them. Football is a very strenuous game and we must content ourselves with its place among our athletics or be dubbed weaklings. The game was an all around success and we trust that it will not only be our annual event, but that our boys will schedule other games of interest. The game ended with the Y. M. C. B.'s victorious, the score being 60 to 0, in favor of Y. M. C. B. Air Mile. The "air mile" is a unit of measurement that has come into use with the advancement of aviation. We had the land mile and the sea mile, which is approximately one-seventh longer than the land mile of America. The nautical mile is often incorrectly called a knot, but a knot is a measure of both distance and time. It is correct to say that a vessel makes ten knots, but to say that she makes ten knots an hour is tautology. The air mile is measured differently from the land mile and the sea mile. It is a land mile minus the retardation of an adverse wind or plus the acceleration of a favoring wind. Thus an aviator could cover many air miles while hovering over a given point on the earth's surface.—Browning's Magazine. A Miafit A sightseeing visitor recently went aboard a tramp steamer in San Francisco harbor, says the Argonaut. Noting that the deck hands were Chinese, she approached one of them and said: "You no speak English?" The Chinaman looked bored and answered nothing. The woman continued: "Me go your country soon. Me learn speak Chinese, teach little Chinese boy and girl. You savvy, 'missionary?' The Chinaman looked at her a minute and answered: "Madam, if you are not more successful in mastering our language than you appear to have been with your own, I fear that your attempt to enlighten our race will prove anything but satisfactory. Good afternoon." The Chinaman sought the other side of the ship and the woman sought oblivion. She had been addressing a Yale graduate who was working his passage back to China. Angry Biffleigh. Old Biffleigh, after thinking ruefully of the gas and coal that were being consumed downstairs, was just dropping off to sleep when he was roused by a noise from below. "Eva!" he bellowed, making his way to the top of the stairs. "Eva! What on earth's that howling down there?" "Howling, pal!" came the answer, in shocked tones. "Why, it's Mr. Chuffer singing 'Love Me and the World Is Mine.'" "Then for goodness' sake love him," growled Biffleigh, "and perhaps the silly young ass will be going to look after his property."

PRESIDENT TAFT TALKS TO CHICAGO NEGROES PRESIDENT ADDRESSED LARGE AUDIENCE AT MEETING OF COL- ORED YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Chicago.—President William Howard Taft was the principal speaker at the Young Men's Christian association at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church. Every seat in the house was taken and several thousand were on the outside. The president praised the work of the association and joined in honoring Julius Rosenwald and others whose beneficence has made it possible to start the Y. M. C. A. movement for colored men. On the platform were Cyrus H. McCormick, John V. Farwell, Julius Rosenwald, N. W. Harris, L. Wilber Messer, William C. Sidley, Dr. Geo. C. Hall, Dr. H. J. Callis, Dr. Wm. D. Cook, Adelbert H. Roberts, Rev. Wm. Bradden, Major R. R. Jackson, Rev. H. S. Graves, Col. John R. Marshall, Morris Lewis, S. Lang Williams, Dr. J. T. Jenifer, Major Buckner, President Johnson and others. Guy Guernsey, George E. Foss, Major Archie Butt and Secretary Hillis accompanied the president to the platform. The president's address follows: "I count it my good fortune that I am able to be present and to testify to my intense interest in the movement for the Young Men's Christian association among the colored men of Chicago. "I am familiar with the operation of the Young Men's Christian association and the system that it has adopted the world over. "It has fallen to my lot to help dedicate buildings of the Young Men's Christian association in every part of the world, beginning with Dayton, Omaha, Seattle, Shanghai, Hongkong, Manila, Memphis and a number of others—they don't come to me all at once—on the isthmus, in the army and in the navy. "I speak with the confidence of one who knows when I say that there is no single instrumentality for the formation of good morals, for the furnishing of healthy occupation during leisure hours, for the making of a sound religious club life, equal to the Young Men's Christian association. "So impressed have I been with its influence for good the world over that when Mr. Mott, who is one of the head movers in the organization, suggested that he would like to have me attend a meeting for the purpose of raising money to build Young Men's Christian associations throughout the Orient, I threw open the east room of the White House and we gathered in there as many millionaires as we could find, and we raised upward of $2,000,000 for the purpose. "I say 'we' raised it—that is a pleasant form of expression. I mean that Mr. Mott and those who were acting with him induced the gentlemen who were there to contribute, so that the money was raised and is now being expended and Young Men's Christian associations are being put around the world; they are dotting the world as lighthouses dot the journey around the world to help along the Christian white man or the Chinaman and all others, without respect to religion or race. "In Shanghai they have a magnificent building which I was permitted to like part in dedicating, which was given through the generosity of an American donor, but the money so given was supplemented by a large fund collected from Chinese mandarins who had been familiar with the influence of this institution upon young Chinamen, who were not converted Christians, but who had seen its work, and that at a time in their lives when they were prone to yield to the dissipations of life, and when, because their leisure hours were taken up with refined and moral enjoyment, they were saved from destruction. "Now, that is the case with the Young Men's Christian association the world over. "I know something about its operation in the tropics, especially. If you have ever been in the tropics you know there comes a time, fear or five o'clock in the day, when you feel devilized, and when, if you have any taste for strong liquor, it comes on you, and you take one drink and the effect is satisfactory. "And as there is nothing much to do at night in the tropics you take another, and if you are at that age of youth when you feel that nothing can hurt you, and you are free and away from the influences of home and of the home neighborhood, there is a danger. "There is a danger to the men who go out from here to the tropics, as to Manila, that is so great that it needs a positive force to keep them from going down to degradation. "Now, we have a Young Men's Christian association in Manila for Americans and for Filipinos. They raised the money out there among the merchants at a time when business was depressed. "Money had been given from this country on condition that more money should be subscribed, and it was the hardest thing for those merchants to squeeze out the money. "But with the knowledge they had of its usefulness in keeping men, upon whom they depended to carry on their business, filled with proper moral ideals—merely a business proposition—they went into it and raised the money, and now they have a magnificent building there in which all the American young men gather; and a similar case arose with the Filipinos. "There is something about this sys- ten that has perfected itself in a way that no other charity—well, it is not a charity at all—has done. That is one of the greatest features of it—the benefits of it can be conferred upon young men without giving them the slightest impression that they are receiving charity. "The secretaries of the association are professional men; they learn the business; they learn how to spend the money; they learn how to spend it economically, and anyone who contributes to the Young Men's Christian association may know that his money will go as far as money can to help his fellow creatures. "The use of the word 'charity' was an unfortunate one, for I wanted to dwell on the fact, which I wish to emphasize, that when men go into the Young Men's Christian association they do not feel as if they were going there as poor young men who were dependent on somebody. "They go there and they are taught and they receive the impression they are a part of the association; that they are entitled to be there, and that they may receive everything that they do receive without the loss of any sense of manhood or of independence. "We have a Colored Young Men's Christian association in Washington. You have one here. Julius Rosenwald, who sits here, and whom I am honored to sit by, has taken this in hand for the colored people, and I want to congratulate the colored people of Chicago that they have raised the money which was needed to be raised and are putting this thing through with true Chicago enterprise. "The spirit of the Young Men's Christian association, the chief spirit, is toleration. Anyone who enters the portals feels at home. It promotes the brotherhood of man. It takes out racial, sectional and religious sectarianism. And what is better than all, it is like medicine—a specific medicine—it reaches the spot. "There are many other things that the Young Men's Christian association promotes besides good fellowship. It promotes cleanliness; it promotes exercise; it promotes everything that makes a man stand up on his two legs and rejoice that he is a biped. "And to its usefulness in the army and in the navy I can give personal testimony. When we have a club of any sort or a thing that has to be described as a club in the army, what do we do? Why, we look around for the secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, because he knows how to run it." President Taft was introduced by Mr. Adelbert Roberts. WHITE CHAUFFEURS BOYCOTT SEEK TO HAVE A MONOPOLY IN DRIVING AUTOMOBILES BY MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR COLORED MEN TO SECURE ACCOMMODATIONS AT THE VARIOUS GARAGES. New York.—Frequent charges that the white chauffeeurs have been waging a systematic boycott against colored chauffeurs in New York city in order to enjoy a monopoly of the work of driving motor vehicles have been investigated and found to be true. The whites have organized a union and have sought by intimidation and tinkering with the machinery of cars to force owners of automobiles to either discharge their colored chauffeurs or to take their cars out of garages where this anti-negro sentiment prevails. They even allege that colored chauffeurs work for less money, and do household stunts as well. Many southern white men bring their automobiles and colored chauffeurs to New York while on a visit, and they have been surprised to find such hostility. To meet this condition four colored men have opened garages, and they have both colored and white chaufeurs on their list of patrons. These whites are not of the type of those making the boycott. A number of prominent white men who own and run their own machines also keep their automobiles in these four places. MONEY FOR COLORED SCHOOLS. New York.—At a meeting of the board of trustees of the John D Rockefeller fund for education (the general education board), held in the offices of the board, 17 Battery plae. the report showed that the board has contributed between $600,000 and $700,000 to forty-one schools for Negroes. These contributions have been limited to the higher schools which train teachers for the public schools. The following trustees were present: Frederick T. Gates, Robert C. Ogden, Walter H. Page, George Foster Peabody, J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., Albert Shaw, Walace Buttrick, Starr J. Murphy, Hollis B. Frissell, Charles W. Elliot, Edgar L. Marston and Wickliffe Ross. LAUGH WAS ON FATHER. Young Richleigh's father allowed him to take a trip to Europe this summer. Before starting the youth made up a cable code of his own for possible use while abroad, and handed a copy to his father, who locked it up in his desk without looking at it. A month later the elder Richleigh received a cable consisting of one word: "Laugh." He laughed. It seemed to be something quite pleasant. His code was at the house. He went up there in the best of humor. He got out the code and read: "Laugh—Send me $500." It's made right, and tastes right.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A dark vision has greatly troubled the German popular imagination during the strain of the Morocco "conservation." It is an immense black army of Africans under the tricolor on the battlefields of Europe, thinly veneered savages sweeping over the pleasant Teutonic fields and adding new barbarity to war. The kaiser's government has found it necessary to calm the German mind by giving out the assurance that it is simply impossible for France to raise a great army of negroes. Such comforting assertion is going rather far, it would appear, for France is steadily increasing the number of native troops in all its possessions. There are 12,000 French troops maintained in overseas colonies, and of these less than half are Europeans. Altogether France has about 32,000 "native" soldiers, of whom the majority are Africans, officered by Frenchmen. The object of France is to be able to keep more and more of its purely French soldiers at home. It has an immense amount of fighting material at its command in African colonies outside Algeria and Tunis. These furnish it with Arab battalions, out in West Africa and the Congo it has made a promising beginning of a negro army in eight organizations, which in various operations, have followed their French officers bravely and intelligently. France proposes that its colored troops shall gain some acquaintance with European ways by tours of duty in France. It has a great advantage in this work of familiarizing natives with France in the absence of color prejudice. The man is the man in France whatever the color of his skin.—Boston Transcript. Every able bodied man should be at work and especially is this true in a busy season when every man's service is needed in a community, but this does not apply more urgently to one man than to another, for be he white or black he should not be an idler nor a vagrant. There are entirely too many colored men around the court rooms with no business demanding their presence there and the county attorney of Christian county should be encouraged in his effort to break it up, but his efforts should not be directed against colored men alone for a white loafer has no more right to be around the court room than has a colored loafer with no business calling aim there. The man who won't work when his services are actually needed should be made to work and if he won't work for wages, then there is nothing better than to have him work on the county roads, for he should be of some service to the community. The good road movement is not only popular, but it is a necessity and in every community these idlers and vagrants should be pressed into service in carrying on this splendid public service for the good of the community and if some organized effort was made in this state in every county, vagrancy, loitering and idleness could be reduced to a minimum.—American Baptist. We do not believe that God intended for man's mind to remain undeveloped. He did not intend that his creatures should forever remain ignorant and shrouded in ignorance. Wherever he places talents there he expects to find evidence of growth and increase, therefore it is our duty to educate and prepare all for the intelligent use of what God has given them. If we expect to have a part in shaping events in this life, if we expect to be numbered among the learned, the strong, the molders of public sentiment, the masters of things material, free from abject menial servitude, we must educate our people. The Clarion would like to let this idea run all through our schools until it permeates the life of every boy, every girl, every man, every woman, making its influence felt in every home, every clime and among all nations.—Clarksburg (W. Va.) Clarion. The master workman of God is he who possesses that courage of soul and sprightliness of spirit that will not quail in the darkness and gloom of the breaking storm of opposition; he is that courageous embodiment of determination that presses onward in spite of obstacles thrown by enemies athwart the pathway of his passage; he is the master and not the slave of condition or circumstance; he is he who can stand erect in the consciousness of inward integrity of purpose and can look the whole world in the face and can say, Though poor, I am God's faithful workman and a manly man still—National Baptist Union-Review. The preacher holds the vantage ground as a race leader, and he enjoys the confidence and respect of the masses by reason of his profession, to a degree that no other class of men enjoy. Therefore, the duty and responsibility devolving upon him by reason of the nature of his profession, makes his obligations double, and he should be more careful in his precepts and examples than any other class of men.—Atlanta Independent. There were sporadic attempts, and yet incessant in a way, to blot out slavery from the beginning, or shortly after the Dutch trading vessel landed the first slaves at Jamestown, Va., in 1619. Even in the south there was an effort in kind to get rid of the thing by noble-minded men and women who would have no part of a system which was their bequeatment in part. They, of course, were few and weak as compared with the myriad-voiced, full-throated demand of capital and development. But they did their part—registered against what, to their minds, was a sin. In our general abuse of the section we are more than apt to forget that the merciful were not strictly confined to any section. The early history of the southeastern states, especially, is filled with bitter discussions of that day anent the subject of African slavery. Nor were the friends of freedom merely content to discuss. There were state enactments, also ordinances and decrees emanating from various sources prohibiting or limiting further importation and kindred measures, looking forward to the final elimination of the system. These friends were few in comparison, but staunch and true; and when old Sumter let loose they cast their lots with the fortunes of the north; and a faithful remnant still remains as evidence of universal friendship from the beginning, and eternal.—Indianaapolis Freeman. The enemies of Booker T. Washington have foundered on the rocks. They have taken to the tall timber. By the works of Washington these gentlemen have been sorely discomfited. Washington after all has evidently "chosen the better part." His doctrine of conservatism coupled with his clarion calls for patience and labor, have set the world thinking—and thought will move the world. After all it must be conceded that the negro as at present situated and constituted with rare exceptions needs the friendly aid and advice of those who must (whether they so desire or not) furnish him bread and the other means of existence. His ignorance and poverty and proneness to extravagance make him a plible tool in whosoever hands he falls. It is well that Mr. Washington is applying his great intellect to making this fact clear to the end that the whites may exercise that patience and proffer that help and protection, without which all negro progress must cease. Thoughtful men of both races are coming to see Mr. Washington in this light and admire the discretion and courage of the man as he works at his herculean task. In this struggle the duty of the great body of men of the entire country, without regard to race or color, is plain. Let the better element of white men and black men take the long distance view—let them count up all the cost—let them measure well the work—and it is our opinion that the consummate judgment of mankind will be that Washington points the way.—Dallas Express. "I'm glad to see you have none but colored waiters," said Chief of Detectives Allender to an official of the City club of St. Louis at the Tait luncheon, given in that city lately. "There are no anarchists among negroes." The St. Louis Republic adds: "The president of the United States needs no protection against derringers or dynaite among the men of dusky hue. There is a deal of truth in this? Who ever heard of a negro bombbrowter? It was a white man whose cowardly bullet struck McKinley, but it was a negro who grabbed the assassin and held him until he was in custody. Give the black man his due." —Times-Dispatch. The negro as a whole is as loyal today as he has ever been. There are black sheep in every fold. Give the negro a chance; treat him as a man, he asks no more. Talk business and promote business. The negro needs it. The negroes down here in the south are still buying land. It is not high priced or expensive, as a rule, but cheap, which, with the labor they apply and the rapid growth of population, soon doubles in value. Any man can buy, and a very clear line of demarcation is slowly but surely being drawn between the man who makes and wastes and the one who makes and saves. Some of our ministers, professors, doctors, business men and laborers have little bank accounts, hold life insurance policies and stock in building and loan associations. It can readily be seen how much more manly one becomes when he feels that his living is provided for beyond the power of a month's sickness to make him a pauper or supplicant for bread—Savannah Independent. This is the season when some of our people take short trips from one station to another with their suit cases—I means with the flour sacks—to visit "cuddin Kitty." When the train leaves the station there is often such a waving of handkerchiefs and balling so as to disturb all the people on the cars, by yelling "Goodbye, cudin Annie, I sure hates ter leave you."—Vaco Conservative Counselor CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR HOLIDAY EXCURSION FARES RITAL GOORSE RITAL GOORSE DENVER AND BED GRANDE DALBROAR TICKETS ON SALE DURING JANY 1, BETWEEN ALL STATES; ICO; ALSO DECEMBER 25, COLORADO SPRINGS, MARY CITY, SALIDA AND INTERMOSA, CREEDE, ANTONI RIDGWAY AND INTERMER FINAL RETURN For rates are RIO Frank A.

Until she began her unique collection she had no idea of the great variety of linens to be bought or how much ingenuity it would take to carry out her idea. Her list, with accompanying ornamentation, shows how large and varied a wardrobe may be developed from one single kind of material. On sheer handkerchief linen of Irish weaving baby Irish crochet was used in profusoin, and with a natural color butcher's linen of English make, broderie Anglaise or eyelet embroidery appeared. With an oyster white Flemish hand loom linen some heavy Flanders lace in Van Dyke point was inset, and on unbleached hand loom Holland linen was embroidery in Delft blue linen thread. India null from the Orient showed exquisite hand embroidery, as did the diaphanous linens of China and Japan and those from the Philippines. Java and Madeira sent hand drawn work and embroidery combined. Mexican work appeared on an elaborate morning dress of medium weight liner, and on the coat of a Russian grash walking costume were cuffs and a collar of Russian lace. Bulgarian linen, brightly embroidered, was made up into a smart little bridge dress, and a charming dinner dress for club wear was of Italian linen with Clany of great beauty and lavishly inset. There was also a frock with the wonders of Swiss hand work on very fine sheer linen, and another of hand spun German linen, with insertings of old Mechlin in the bodice and much hemstitching in connection with embroidered dots. From Norway came a frock of medium weight linen with cutwork of intricate effect, and from Spain a very coarse open linen canvas inset with lace crocheted by the peasants of the hills. Each dress is absolutely different from the others, and the planning has given many interesting hours to the woman who will wear them. Touch of Color. Tiny colored silk handkerchiefs with hemstitched borders are very smart worn in the vest pocket of one's tailored suits. Many of these pockets, by the way, are set in lengthwise on a seam instead of crosswise between scans. Tan Colored Linens Tan colored linens are used for the table these days. Such a statement may cause conventional housekeepers somewhat of a shock, but one can easily see what a saving it would be in country hills. quarter yard lace eighteen inches wide.

A design of this kind, lie-devin poplinette is chosen; a band of black satin with pointed ends is taken round at about the knees on skirt, which is just eased into the waist band. The Magyar bodice has a wide open front, showing a lace vest; black satin buttons are sewn on the cloth; the revers and cuffs are also of satin. Materials required: Four yards poplinette forty inches wide, one yard satin twenty inches wide, one-quarter yard lace. Beautiful Beads. Such beadwork as the buyers have brought back with them from the other side has never before been seen on trimming counters, according to the New York Sun. The beads include many metallic effects with all the rich, deep colors of the American Indians and the characteristic combinations of Roumania and Bulgaria, but they also come in the daintiest and loveliest evening blends, that remind one of the tints of rare paintings. There are blet grounds studded with gold and silver beads and with pearls. In fact, in the gold and silver bands and jeweled effects the variety is wonderful. And the tunics and waist garnishments are here in the same wide choice of beautiful bead and jewel combinations, often with gold and silver cloth embroidered with beads and tinsel) THE 2 Strauthers THE 2 Strauthers Tailoring for the Trade Ladies' and Gent's Suits to Order 1012 NINT $20 and Up NINTEENTH ST Ladies' and Gent's $20 and Up 500 Woolens Suits to Order to Pick From 1012 NINTEENTH STREET THE CAPIT CLUB manager.
