PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY VOL. XIX. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 28 1912. NO 1 THE NE Next Thursday is the beginning of the new year, 1913. There is nothing important in the beginning or ending of a new year, the occasion only serves for a general review of human experiences and human achievements. In the general plan of the universe, time goes on, marked only by days and seasons, all other chronology being history and mark their commercial intercourse. We live apparently without regard for time, but with every regard for worldly conditions, and thus the life and the acts of every human being are just as important to the general purposes of the world as those of any other human being. This is why thoughtful men and women, the advisers of humanity, grow serious and urge every mortal to spend his life always for the best. Among the millions and millions of created beings, an individual seems to be an insignificant part, but after all he is an actual and considerable part of the whole, and must leave some mark upon the conditions into which he was born. Life must be purposeful and intended for improvement. Everything about us denotes that it is not for pastime or waste. The paths of individuals, races or nations should be ever upward. The world's history becomes higher and better. More than one hundred years ago, when the nineteenth century began, the negro race in America was in slavery and hardly dreamed of the possibility of emancipation. At the close of the century slavery was almost a tradition, and by far the greater portion of the race knows of its baneful curse only through the chronicles of history, the strange accounts of the elder people, or the marks and scars of lowly conditions which the dread institution left behind. In the fifty years that have passed since emancipation a new Negro race has come upon the plane of action, along with a new Caucasian race, and to us all the present is far removed from the generation gone before. But the Negro of the slavery day was made of good stuff or else we would not have made the improvement which he know we have made. And just so upon all depends the strength, the worth and the ability of the American Negro of the present century and the distant future, and none can tell but that we may influence the future of the Negro race throughout the world. In the past fifty years, to a great extent, we have merely drifted with the tide of human progress. But human races do not drift far or long in this world. Oblivion soon overtakes those who do not exert themselves and become a potent force for good in the world's civilization, whether individuals, races or nations. In the next fifty years the Negro is called upon to do a most important work. Our general conditions at present are humble and lowly, and not even medium in comparison with those of other races in America who are in touch with the tide of human progress. By self-assertion and self-improvement we are now being called upon to make the future bright and secure. Many recent events plainly indicate that we are being left entirely to our own responsibility, and that we shall rise or fall upon the exercise of our own genius. We are face to face with the most trying demands of the world's stern realities and the Negro's highest and most sober qualities are now called upon to meet the conditions through which we must pass. Indolence and vice are the two greatest dangers that menace us. With them overcome, we have qualities and virtues to compete with the balance of humanity. We are slowly gaining a foothold in the industrial and commercial world. Negro brains and Negro genius are beginning to indicate the glorious possibilities of a vast unsuppressable future in the world of letters and art. We have Negro soldiers of glorious promise. But with all of our prospects, we are confronted and burdened with a racial prejudice that must be beaten down and overcome. It feeds upon our vices and glories in our indolence, but every high and noble achievement of ours is a thrust at its most vital parts. To a Negroes of America we would say that the most vital duty of the coming year and the present hour is an unending crusade against our own great weaknesses, for with them removed our future successes cannot be dimmed or stayed. Let vice and cirme and indolence and inaction and every form of worthlessness existent among us be no longer spared because of our sorry past or for any other reason, but let the good of our race and the glory of God start us and keep us upon a course that shall strengthen and increase our virtues until the twentieth century Negro shall see the buried glories of the patriarchs returning to his hand. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House HANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO MAYOR TO OPPOSE JACK JOHNSON IN SOCIETY RESORT Chicago, Dec. 23. The purchase of a summer home and model farm by Jack Johnson, the Negro heavyweight pugilist, in the exclusive millionaire colony of Lake Geneva and the establishment of a Negro club there, will be opposed by Mayor Frank Autosky "I don't think either Johnson or any member of his race will establish themselves here," the mayor said, "but should any of them attempt such a move I will take the case up with the residents, I suppose the police powers would cover such a case." A number of acres at the North end of the lake in one of the most desirable portions of the colony, which is known as the "Newport of the West," were secured by option on Dec. 17 by W. C. Anderson, a Negro attorney and formerly one of Johnson's counsel. The property will be owned by a syndicate of 10 Negroes, men associated for the establishment of a club. "It will be a nice, orderly, respectable place," said Anderson today. "I do not understand why there should be so much talk about the purchase." Anderson said the property would not be sold and that the club would be established there. Johnson already has announced his intention of making his permanent summer home in the colony. The Negroes plan to occupy the club property as soon as warm weather opens. Many of Chicago's social leaders, including some of the wealthiest men in Americ, have summer homes abjooning the Negro club property. HOLDS LAST MEETING Washington, D. C., Dec. 17. At the final meeting of the Jeane board of trustees at the White House, Saturday, the old officers and committees were re-elected. Booker T. Washington presided. President Taft, Andrew Carnegie and other prominent men were in attendance. The offices are: President, James H. Dillard, New Orleans, vice-president, Walter H. Page, New York; treasurer, George Foster Peabody, New York City; secretary, Robert R. Moton, Hampton, Va. Executive Committee—Booker T. Washington, chairman; David C Barrow, James H. Dillard, H. B. Frissell, Samuel C. Mitchell, J. C. Napier, Robert L. Smith, R. R. Moton, secretary. Finance Committee—George Foster Peabody, chairman; Walter H. Page, Belton Gilreath. --- This meeting, which President Taft, who is one of the trustees, pointed out was the last they could hold in the White House, drafted a resolution of thanks to him for his courtesy in allowing the meetings to be held there from time to time during his administration. George Foster Peabody, the treasurer, presented his report, showing the present market value of the $1,002,000 of securities belonging to the fund and how they are invested. It was decided to disburse the coming year the sum of $35,865 as salaries to supervisors for the fund of the colored rural schools. The Jeanes fund was one of $1,000,000 bestowed in 1908 by Miss Anna A. Jeanes. The interest on the fund amounts to about $50,000 a year, and this income is being used to promote the effectiveness of the Negro rural school by introducing industrial features into it of a simple and practical sort. LANGFORD WHIPS McVEY FOURTH TIME OUT OF HIS SIX TRIALS. Sydney, Australia, Dec. 26.—Sam Langford knocked out Sam McVey in the thirteenth round today in one of the fiercest heavyweight battles seen in Australia in years. Today's fight between Langford and Sam McVey, the two heavyweight colored boxers, was the sixth occasion on which they had met. The Bostonian Langford has now defeated the Californian McVey on four occasions; on one other occasion he was beaten by McVey, and one of their fights ended in a draw. Five of these matches were fought in Australia and the remaining one in Paris, Langford holds the title of heavyweight champion of England and McVey that of heavyweight champion of Australia. It was reported that one time Langford was to fight Jack Johnson for the championship of the world. Sam Langford, who is thirty-two years old, entered the ring as a professional in 1902 and has during the last ten years had a remarkable boxing career. Langford had the better of the fighting, throughout the match. He severely punished McVey, who made a blucky defense. Langford began fighting fiercely in the first round, landing lefts and rights and driving McVey to the ropes. Only during the second and third rounds did McVey show any sign of equality with his Nova Scotian opponent, and even then his punches did not worry Langford a great deal. In the fourth round Langford floored McVey with an uppercut to the chin, and from then on McVey simply tried to protect himself but received severe punishment. The finish came in the thirteenth round, when Langgord again forced McVey to the ropes and then landed innumerable lefts and rights on his face, causing McVey to fall, completely beaten. Intuition. "Henry, how do you like my new hat?" "Well, dear, to tell you the truth—" "Stop right there! If you're going to talk that way about it, Henry, I don't want to know!" RACE NEWS Mrs. Purnell, who has been employed at the Wanamaker store for the past 20 years, has been granted a pension for her years of valuable service by the Hon. John Wanamaker.

Mr. Jefferies, chief of the elevators, and the maids of the store also gave her presents. Philadelphia Tribune. Washington, D. C., Dec. 18. There was a net decrease of five officers and a net increase of 4,455 enlisted men in the authorized strength of the regular army last year. General Andrews observed that regiments serving in the United States and having the lowest percentages of desertions last year were the Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fifth Infantry, both colored organizations, which showed desertions of 1.52 and 1.60 per cent. The Tenth Cavalry has been one of the two regiments having the lowest percentage of desertions for the past three years. Speaking at a recent meeting in Brooklyn the Rev. Dr. John H. Reed, president of the College of West Africa, Liberia said among other things; "A thoroughly organized school system is the fundamental basis for the permanent establishment of a republic in which the people shall govern themselves. Liberia is brought face to face at the present time with the problem of organizing a public school system to meet the demands of a primitive people, as may be found among the various tribes within the territorial boundary of the republic." Dr. George C. Hall, the noted physician and surgeon, has been invited by Dr. Booker T. Washington to deliver the dedicatory address at the new hospital at Tuskegee Institute in February. It is regarded as a great honor by medical profession throughout the country and upon this occasion there will be present some of the leading white and colored surgeons of this and other countries. Mr. Julius Rosenwald is arranging a special party for the occasion. After delivering the address, Dr. Hall will remain at the new institution several days to do some operations and to hold a clinic. Sam Lucas, dean of the colored NO 16 theatrical profession, will be tendered a benefit by his friends next month. Bert A. Williams, Aida Overton Walker, James Rees Europe, president of the Clef Club, and a host of other leading lights in the profession, will appear at the monster affair. Mr. Lucas, although seventy-one, is as chipper as his younger associates and is seen from time to time in the New York houses. He has recently announced that he will not appear on the stage again. To those who can go back many years it will be remembered that Sam Lucas was the first colored man to appear in a big dramatic play. The play was written by Miss Pauline Hopkins, and entitled "The Underground Railroad." Montgomery, Ala.—Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but not often. Sometimes a man wakes up in the morning to find himself famous, but there are not many Lord Byrons, or men with the inventive genius of Edison. But it is not often that a colored man languished in jail for twenty-four years is paroled, and goes home and finds himself the possessor of a snug fortune. Such is the case with Albert Kelley, of Colbert county, who was paroled by Governoroo O'Neal a few days ago. Kelley was sent up in 1889 to serve life imprisonment for murder, and after twenty-four years of faithful service to the state he was given his freedom. Before his conviction Kelley invested a few dollars in some Birmingham property, when the Magic City was but a small village. Now his property is worth between $20,000 and $30,000. Newburgh, N. Y., Dec. 20.—Although the sleeping car porters have always been abused, poorly paid and the butt end of the joker from Maine to California, yet one here today proved the salvation of a woman seeking a divorce and his testimony alone gave her a fortune and the custody of her child. It was in the Supreme Court Tuesday when Justice Tompkins granted a divorce to Bernice G. Heinze, $1,000 a month alimony and her rent in an uptown apartment house, amounting to $233 a month. Only one witness was called, a porter on a sleeping car on the Union Pacific railroad. He identified a photograph of a man alleged to be Mr Heinze and an unidentified woman, who he said were passengers in a stateroom of his car Sept. 26 last. As Heinze did not appear to contest the suit the justice awarded the decree to the wife. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD.

An era of investigation unprecedented in the House will be ushered in when Congress reassembles in January. Members will divide their attention among seven distinct investigations scheduled to begin immediately after the holidays.

Felder, of Atlanta, in the course of an eulogy of the President, at the banquet at the fourth annual meeting of the American Society for Jurisprudence. Most of the ranking army officers in the United States have been ordered to be in Washington Jan. 8 for an important conference to arrange the details of the extension plan of reorganization of the army.

Indictments charging extortion and bribery were returned in New York by the grand jury against Policeman John L. Skelly, Manny Maas, a beer bottler, and Solomon Wolf, a saloonkeeper.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Statistics compiled by the State Board of Charities and Correction show that Colorado, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, spent $553.523.99 in maintaining institutions for the poor throughout the state. This, with figures on the work of juvenile courts, county jails, poor farms and county hospitals, will be included in the annual report of the board, to be submitted in January. Judge Thomas, head of the board, compiled the statistics, secured from clerks and judges of each of the sixty-two counties in the state. His report shows that on July 1, 1912, there were lodged in county jails of the state 3,557 prisoners serving sentences and 2,546 awaiting trial. Of these, 261 were women serving sentences and 143 held pending trials. This is an increase in both over the previous year. There are sixteen poor farms in operation throughout the state, according to Judge Thomas' report, caring for a total of 472 men and 89 women. Inquiry concerning these was made in connection with the provisions for the deportation of aliens who have been in the United States less than three years, but none was reported. Of the total expense of maintaining poor institutions, $12,877.84 was spent for salaries of superintendents and assistants; $34,266.22 for county physicians; $239,987.03 for outdoor relief; $115,167.85 for county homes, and $151,275.05 for county hospitals.

On July 1, the county hospitals were caring for 574 patients, which number recently has been increased to nearly 650 patients. There are ten such hospitals, having provisions for taking care of 533 patients. A recommendation for increase in accommodations will be made to the Legislature by heads of county hospitals to care for the excess number of patients now being handled. Mrs. Rehkugler Guilty. Grand Junction, Colo.—Without the bat of an eye, Mrs. Lulu Rehkugler, called a Cleopatra, who was roused from bed in the county jail at 3:30 o'clock, heard the verdict of the jury which found her guilty of voluntary manslaughter for the murder of Joseph Waters on October 7. The verdict carries with it a sentence of from one to ten years in the state penitentiary. Her attorneys asked for five days in which to file motions for a new trial. The crime for which she was convicted was one of the most cold-blooded in Mesa county's criminal annals. The woman calmly admitted on the witness stand that she shot Waters and meant to kill him because he threatened to take the family driving horse in payment for wages due him. Forty Men Saved from Burning Mine. Forty Men Saved from Burning Mine. Creede.—Fighting valiantly against almost insurpassable odds in flames and dense smoke, rescues saved forty miners, who were imprisoned in the Happy Thought mine which caught fire.

Stolen Horses Sold. Fort Collins.-The fine team of black horses belonging to W. M. Barnes, which were stolen from a hitching rod near the Methodist church, December 15, were recovered in Denver by Deputy Sheriff Cooke of this county and W. M. Barnes, the owner.

Nothing could be simpler in line and composition than the coat. The material will not allow decoration other than the plain horn buttons which appear on the cuffs and fasten the belt. These coats are just getting a start, and we may expect to see them with much greater frequency in the spring. The simple round hat made from the same material is as soft as the coat, and is really a garment for the head. There is a droll standing feather at the side. No one would think of describing it as pretty, but it fits the scheme admirably, for this outfit expresses those characteristics of the young American miss which cause the French to say that she looks and acts Much Wisdom Conveyed in This Advice That a Woman Gives to Her Sisters. One reason why so many women begin to "go off" in their looks after thirty or even earlier, is a growing habit of carelessness about their appearance. In particular, the woman that marries and has children is very likely to fall into the notion that "it doesn't matter how mother looks." Indeed, I have known women who seemed to consider it a part of their duty to their families to get old and ugly as soon as possible. No woman can make a more fatal mistake. A woman wants to be proud of her children, and her children have an equal right to be proud of her. A woman who has become a wrinkled, faded, humped-up, dowdy, "back number" at forty may get a certain tolerant affection and perfunctory gratitude from her family, but she can never inspire the admiration and respect and willing obedience that every child should be able to render to his mother. Depend upon it, excellent wife and devoted mother, if you find yourself too busy to take a daily bath, too busy to keep your scalp clean and your hair brushed, too busy to go to a dentist at the first sign of decaying teeth, too busy to massage the blackheads out of your skin and manicure your nails and provide yourself with suitable, becoming clothes, then you are absolutely too busy. You are either being imposed upon by some shirker, or else you are voluntarily sacrificing more important to a less important consideration. If it comes right down to a choice, madam, I think your husband would take more pleasure in your clean complexion than in a clean pair of attic stairs, and I am quite sure that it is better to provide your children with a neat, trim, well-groomed mother to look at at table than to harass their little stomachs with some elaborate and indigestible "made dish."—Woman's World. Novelty Buttons in Neckwear. One of the most striking features of the smartest neckwear is the large use made of small button garnitures, says the Dry Goods Economist. Rhinestone, jet, crystal, cloth-covered and pearl buttons score, in the order mentioned. The fact that many of the button-trimmed novelties come rather high can easily be accounted for when one considers the cost of the novelty buttons used. At the same, the smartness of the styles depends to a large extent upon the clever arrangement of these buttons. Girlish Gown. A simple and girlish gown is made of soft white chiffon trimmed with garlands of green satin leaves, applied to the bodice and skirt in border fashion. These garlands outline the round neck of the bodice, the high waist line in the form of a girdle and the edge of a draped tunic where it is caught up with a green satin bow. The sleeves are also caught up with a satin bow. Old Fashions Recalled: Skirts have widened sufficiently to make movement graceful and easy, yet they have no superfluous folds, and are simply cut. The three-quarter length coats are of extraordinary variety in design, and the use of fur on the whole costume is most effective, the result reminding one very forcibly of the charming winter coats worn by women several centuries ago. like a young lad, without being bolstered or obstreperous. The pert little single feather has a black curled tip and a soft white base. It is a sort of challenge to good fellowship. A soft hat for a younger girl is made of velveteen or of plush, although others equally good are made of plaid or checkered fabrics, such as are used in coats. The turned back brim is adorned with three quaint little bows in front. Any one who is clever at sewing can make this hat, for patterns of it are to be found in almost any standard fashion book. These are sensible and smart clothes for young people, and those two adjectives express the idea of feathers of real style when one must choose for the growing girl apparel of any kind. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. No Article of Personal Adornment Is More Popular Than Strings of These Trimmings. Since the early days, when the ancients first wore strings of beads, they have become a permanent article of personal adornment. Bean chains, ranging from the superb rope of pearls to the amber, jet and crystal necklaces, are festooned around the throat, and add their beauty to the toilette. The short string of pearls is as fashionable as ever, and bead trimmings are enjoying a very prominent place. Many of the smartest evening gowns are trimmed with bead plaques. The beads are so closely set together that there is no space between them. They are wrought upon canvas in the old-fashioned mat and screen designs. These show baskets of flowers and birds unreal looking in their strange coloring. The peasant fashions are much in vogue, and the suspenders are decorated with beads and embroidery. The most beautiful bead trimmings are those that represent the arabesque designs or black chiffon, crepe de chine, net or taffeta. Among the smartest evenings gowns are those showing heavily beaded tunics over a foundation of chiffon. NEW MODEL FOR CLOTH WAIST 1 This new and simple model is of cloth with vest of the same, which is made with a wide box plait, the latter ornamented at the top with a strap of the material and buttons and loops. The wide turn-over collar and the cuffs are of the same cloth. Evening Shoes and Buckles. Among the accessories of dress on which time and money are being lavishly expended this winter are evening shoes and buckles. For the former beautiful and costly brocades and damasks are employed and in colors to match the gowns, white and gold being much favored. Jewelled buckles of great price circle of pleated or plain satin, but two loops of black velvet ribbon are seen coming from the latr beneath the buckle. Satin flowers supply a touch of color.

Gem Merchant Slain; Four Suspects. Chicago.—Twelve hours after J. H.

Report Plot to Blow Up Mint. Washington.-Director of the Mint Roberts is not seriously disturbed over the plot to blow up the Denver mint with dynamite. FEUD ENDS IN BAD SHOOTING SHOT AT, SECTION BOSS GETS A GUN AND ATTACKS AS-SAILANT. EAR WAS BLOWN AWAY PORTION OF GOWANDO FARMER'S FACE SHOT OFF BY PLATTE-VILLE RAILROAD MAN. Platteville, Colo.—An car of Fred Niemeyer, a farmer living at Gowando, was shot off, and an artery in his jaw was severed, by a Union Pacific section foreman, Harry Garner, at Gowando, five miles west of Platteville. While Niemeyer was driving across the railroad track, a singletree broke. Garner began to joke him about it. This angered Niemeyer and he pulled a gun and shot twice at the section foreman. Each time the bullets missed their mark. A section hand working under Garner ran to the section house nearby and got Garner's shotgun, with which the latter shot Niemeyer, the shot taking effect in the right side of Niemeyer's head, tearing off one ear and severing the artery and causing an ugly scalp wound behind the ear. Some shot were also imbedded in Niemeyer's neck. Niemeyer was rushed to Platteville, where he received medical attention. He was later removed to his home at Gowando. Garner is said to have taunted Niemeyer on the cheap buggy he was driving, declaring that even he, a section foreman, could afford to have a better buggy. Garner went to the nearest telephone, where he informed Sheriff McAfee what he had done. Physicians say that Niemeyer will recover. TURKEY MAKES DEMANDS. Continued Mobilization of Troops Causes Disquiet Over Peace Outlook. London.—The speed with which the Turkish government had decided upon counter-peace proposals leads to the assumption that they will be wide from the demands of the allies and that there will be a prolonged process of bargaining before the conference is ended. The Turkish press is unanimous in demanding the rejection of the allies' demands. Austria's failure to demobilize is a greater source of disquiet than the task of arranging peace. This is more especially the case with the Montenegrin delegates who were excited over the rumor that Austria, having obtained what she wants from Servia, wishes either to prevent Montenegro from taking Scutari by incorporating it in Albania, or to make the Montenegrin occupation of Scutari the price of Austrian occupation of Mount Lowen. Bomb Bursts As Taft Passes. Bomb Bursts As Tart Passes. Panama.—Fifteen minutes after President Taft had passed on his way to a ball in his honor, a kiosk, near the station on Central avenue, the principal street of the town, was blown up with dynamite while the street was still lined with police. One man was badly injured. Several arrests were made. Master Frozen; Dog Stands Guard. Cripple Creek.—Albert Gorman, fifty-one years old and single, a wood chopper, was found frozen to death, with his shepherd dog standing over his body. CLARK CONFERS WITH WILSON. President-Elect Likely to Convene Congress in Extra Session in March. Trenton, N. J. — Congress probably will be called into extraordinary session by President Woodrow Wilson shortly after his inauguration, perhaps on March 15, and the particular legislation that will come before it will be tariff revision. After a two hours' conference with Speaker Clark, the President-elect said that he would endeavor to meet the wishes of Democratic leaders in Congress who, he was informed, were anxious that the interval between the two sessions of Congress be as brief as possible. As to the exact date, he said he would consult the wishes of the Democratic leaders in Congress. Mr. Clark is understood to favor March 15. Colorado Springs Without Contagion. Colorado Springs. — There is not a contagious disease in Colorado Springs, according to the report of Health Commissioner Frost. Pueblo, Colo.—The fact that Mrs. Michael Codroa cannot be found and that neighbors reported having seen her husband beating her, prompted the police to arrest the man. Search is being made for the missing woman. Peru Premier Resigns.

Shorter's winter revival will begin on the 26th of January. The services of one of the most skillful evangelists in the country has been secured. The Xmas service was held at 5:30 a. m., when a splendid congregation turned out. Through the good offices of Dr. R. A. Randolph, the congregation presented the pastor and family a purse of $10.70 as a Christmas gift. Christmas cheer has been in the air all the week. It was a typical Christmas day of our childhood days. It began snowing in the morning and it continued throughout the day. Tuesday evening the various churches had special programs and provided a Christmas tree for the little ones, which gladdened their hearts. Christmas day services at the churches were well attended by the devout. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES The Epworth League will render a special program Sunday evening.

Travick gave a finely-appointed dinner to a few of their close friends Christmas day, which was indeed a treat and highly appreciated. It was a typical old-fashioned Christmas dinner, with a big, fat, juicy turkey, trimmings and all that goes with it, washed down with eggnogg, etc., as only Travick knows how to make it. The house was beautifully decorated with ferns and Xmas greens. Those who sat at the festal board and regaled themselves with the bountiful repast, which was calculated to tickle the palate of the most fastidious epicure, were: Mrs. Minnie Robinson, Mrs. Daisy Jones, Mrs. Percival W. Webster, J. H. Doniphan, Mr. and Mrs. James E. Travick. They are ideal entertainers. CAMPBELL CHAPEL, A. M. E CHURCH. Corner 23rd and Lawrence Streets. Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D.D., Pastor. The quarterly meeting last Sunday was a grand success financially and spiritually. Presiding Elder Ward preached two sermons, both of which were attended by the Holy Ghost. In every way he seems to be the man for the position he holds. Our rally last week netted the church between $400 and $450. With some to report yet, it is possible that it may reach $500. The church and community is elated with the wonderful success. The greatest ever realized by any church in Denver—so say the oldest pastors. The church and pastor extend the heartiest thanks to the ministers and friends for valuable assistance rendered. The general conference will take place in the spring. The pastor will preach Sunday morning to the subject, "Contentment," and in the evening, "The House on the Wall." A splendid Christmas service was held at 11 o'clock Xmas morning, the Lord being wonderfully present and blessing every soul. The church is enjoying a visit from Rev. and Mrs. N. L. Bray, parents of the pastor. They will remain through the holidays. Mrs. Viney Johnson, a stewardess of our church, died rather suddenly Tuesday morning and will be buried from the church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. She was a faithful and devout member and will be greatly missed. Revival services begin at this church Tuesday night. Dr. J. P. Howard will deliver the watch-night sermon. Come and watch the old year out and the new one in. Sunday, January 5th, at 11 o'clock, there will be a special service for the aged, after which dinner will be served them in the dining room of the church. All the aged of the city are invited to enjoy this meeting and dinner. In the afternoon a general class will be held. On our sick list are Sisters Long, Frazier, Hayden, Wyman, Fleming, and Brother Turner. The church remembered them in prayer in the Christmas service and the Sunday School sent them little tokens of kind remembrance. Every pastor in the city was present, and presided on the night assigned him, for which we feel very grateful indeed. Call us when you will and we will answer to the best of our ability. Pray for a great revival and come and help make it so. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES. The order of service at Shorter next Sunday will be as follows: 10:00 a.m. Sunday school; general review for the quarter; Mrs. O. W. Jenn, superintendent; 11:00 a.m., Rev. A. M. Ward, P. E., will fill the pulpit. This being the last Sunday in the year, an outpouring of the membership is expected. 6:30 p.m., Allen Christian Endeavor League. Topic, "Missionary Needs and How We May Help to Meet Them." II. Cor., 8:1-9. 7:30 p.m., the pastor will deliver a special sermon for the Usher's Board. The members of this board will turn out in full and will occupy seats of honor, while the Lady Usher's Board will have charge of seating the audience. For details, see printed programs. The sacred concert last Sunday evening easily surpassed the expectation of the most sanguine. The announcement drew out a magnificent audience and the rendition of the cantata, "Prince of Peace," was in such a manner as to add fresh laurels to the wreath of the choir. The demand for another one was general. The Mite Missionary Society is all smiles over the success of the recital given Thursday evening of last week. A large and inspiring congregation was out, and not only was every number on the program rendered, but every participant appeared at his best. Rev. T. H. Wiseman and Mr. George Morrison exhibited rare skill and ability in their respective lines, and proved themselves to be artists of more than usual ability. Shorter's Xmas tree for the Sunday school children was had on Tuesday evening, December 24th. The exercises were well attended and the hearts of the children were made to leap for joy by being remembered by dear old CHRISTMAS TIME.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There are now many agencies in the south trying to find a way to help the negro get a larger share of the fruits of his toil, and to enable him to live his life more abundantly and in better accord with the southern white man. Not one of them is so revolutionary, considering the history of the south's attitude toward this question—the so-called "Negro Problem"—and perhaps none holds more promise, than the concerted efforts of hundreds of earnest students in southern colleges and universities who, on their own initiative have set about studying the matter in such manner as, a few years ago, would have been thought the idea of a dreamer. A striking point is that, whereas nearly every substantial effort heretofore in this field has been directed, and, largely true even now, supported by public-spirited people of the north, at this time the scholarship of the south is directed with almost solemn intensity, first to an awakening of the southern white people to their opportunity and duty, and, second, to a practical examination of the conditions which are believed to be responsible for the failure of the negro to attain what he hopes for and what is desired for him. The most encouraging consideration is the fact that the south itself is investigating the trouble and trying to find the remedy as it has never done before. This would seem to justify a statement of a prominent southern educator recently. He said that whatever was done to help the negro would have to be with the sympathy and co-operation of southern white men, for without such sympathy and co-operation nothing that was done would be of permanent value. With the best minds and character in southern institutions of learning enlisted in the work, he said, there was good reason to believe that condition would speedily change for the better.—New York Evening Post. One of the great hindrances to the progress of the black man's fraternal societies is that they elect to membership some men and women whom they wouldn't have the nerve to invite into their homes and introduce to their wives and families.—The Seattle Searchlight. That the colored brother has made blunders in his management of his fraternal organizations is undeniable. His blunders are due partly to his ignorance and largely to the exigencies of the circumstances surrounding him. I doubt whether the original founders of secret orders among us expected them to be strictly social in their functions, maintaining well defined lines of social demarcation. Of course it is rather discouraging to have your wife or daughter associate with the "soiled doves" of society in these fraternal organizations. But the insurance features in these organizations must be maintained, and hence the necessity of blinking at some things that seem inappropriate. The fraternal organizations, however, are no greater sinners in this respect than are negro churches, and the former have more excuses for dereliction in this respect than have the latter. But the disease is working its own cure. Hundreds are joining organizations where meetings and consequent loss of time and undesirable associates are unnecessary.—Dallas Express. A big white man is big for the white race. The average big nigger, not negro—well he is—nothing for his race.—Dallas Express. Macon county, Ala., is said to have a larger area of land held by negroes than any other county in the south. In 1910 negroes owned 61,689 acres in Macon. In Liberty county, Ga., the next largest in negro land holdings, the area was 55,048, while in Louisa county, Va., the third county in this respect, the colored population owned 53,268 acres. In Macon county there is no race problem—the negro population, through the industrial education of Tuskegee, has become self-reliant. The county has 57 colored public schools. No matter how forsaken one may be, he has always enough friends to keep him posted as to his rival's good fortune. True success can never be counted by material enumeration—but that's the kind that doesn't seek to be counted. Envy and malice are twins, but even working in double team they are unsuccessful against good without alloy. Some folks' brains work like ninety-horse power, others like the wings of a lark. Grounds for complaint are found in the bottom of the boarding house coffee cups. When a man casts his bread upon waters he expects it to come back buttered. Success has never killed a man, though worry to attain it has murdered its thousands. A city-wide campaign to raise $25,000 among the men and women of the race toward a $100,000 fund for a new building for the Colored Young Men's Christian association opened in Baltimore. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has promised to give $25,000 and the local white Y. M. C. A. the remaining $50,000. The campaign is in charge of International Secretary J. E. Moorland, who has conducted successful campaigns for new buildings for the race in a number of cities. The work of raising the $25,000 is apportioned among ten captains, each of whom has ten men under him. The captains are T. A. Date, Walter S. Emerson, Dr. T. S. Hawkins, Dr. Albert O. Reild, W. T. Greenwood, Glendford Pennington, Dr. T. S. Hawkins, Thomas J. Smith, Dr. J. C. Robinson and Samuel E. Young. James A. B. Callis, Dr. Howard E. Young, John H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American Ledger; Joseph Gurner of the Baltimore Times; James W. Hughes, the Rev. W. Edward Williams, E. Bernard Taylor, George S. White and W. F. De Bardeleben, general secretary of the local association, are among others active in the campaign. The Colored Y. M. C. A. is nearly twenty years old and is at present housed at 1619 Drudu Hill avenue. A demonstration of Brown's wave and gravity motor was held at Young's hall in Baltimore. The machine is the invention of Frank Brown, who says that it will eliminate the use of coal, reduce the cost of labor and do away with expensive electrical energy. The invention is designed to be placed in the ocean where the receding and incoming waves and the force of gravity produce motion and in turn produce electrical energy. It is claimed that the current generated by this machine can be used for lighting, for moving trains and for running machines several hundred miles from any given point where one of these motors may be placed. The motor is designed to rest on a base of reinforced concrete, fortified against climatic changes. A series of buoys are used to make the motor steady and regular. The Atlantic Perfected Motor company, incorporated under the laws' of New Jersey, with an authorized capital of $250,000, has been organized to manufacture Mr. Brown's invention. The promoters say they expect to begin operations next spring. The world has taught the negro that to be born humble is his inheritance. It has also taught him that on the foundation of poverty he must build his structure of life, his future hopes and aspirations are met with misfortune and deprivations, but he has been unmindful of the great commotion of all, and has placed his foot firm on the ladder that leads to a higher plane of life and is struggling to reach the goal of perfect manhood.—Seattle Searchlight. A girl expects to be perfectly happy when married because she has had no experience. There are people too sensible to confess to success because they have a snug bank account. The highest successes of the mind, no man knows until he scorns success. The man who can only work when he feels like it, may be a genius; but it's the one who is ready to go to work when some one else needs him, who will succeed. Serving one person only never brings success. The "pot boiler" is usually what might be described as a "hashy" piece of work. The man who withholds any idea or service that might benefit mankind, is as bad as the miser who hoards his gold. The failures which begin by little successes are the most hopeless of all. Successful results often mean a world of effort. Too often men confuse enterprise with endeavor—the last always holds perfect perspective. No man is above success which brings him wealth of human appreciation and human love. A reformer may be willing to supply the pattern if somebody else will do the work. How we do enjoy working at things that don't need to be done! Most failures are some one's lack of confidence formed into a reality. A fool's grin is indicative of his mind.

More light. In the countries where winter is cold and dark and grim the severest weather comes after the old year goes. It was in less biting air, but in increasing light, that the proof was found of the "turn o' the year." The dead year is often buried to the dirge of winter's most bitter winds. The frost is going deeper, when the season is normal. Nature's sleep is most profound. There is only one sign that the sun has turned and is coming back. That evidence is a little more daylight, a little less of the darkness of night. But more light is enough. It makes the change a time of joy, of new hopes and more confident turning to the future. There is the promise of spring in the added light of the day and the promise of growing good and retreating evil in the coming of the new year. It means that mankind has another chance for better things. It gives hope of a new foothold and endeavor to a fresh start. The world is invited to turn its back on the mistakes and sins and troubles of the past and look to the ever-wonderful possibilities of the unknown time to come. There is the charm and joy of New Year's. In that revival of drooping confidence, in that lure of the infinite, lies the appeal of the day which is always greeted with enthusiasm, no matter how many generations have seen the hopes of the year's birth wither before its death. After many failures success may come. Who knows? That is the magic question—"Who knows?" The world gains from year to year in a thousand little things, and sometimes a great evil long endured goes crashing down. Who can say what the limit of triumph may be in the better times to come? Name..... Address..... SIXTY CENTS A MONTH The WARD AUCTION COMPANY For the world, like every young year, is getting more light. It has more of the sunshine of truth, more of the life-giving rays of knowledge. If they seem cold and sterile, at times, it is because humanity's year is still young. "We are ancients of the earth, and in the morning of the times." This increasing light of knowledge, this brighter beacon to guide the steps of mankind, must flower and fruit in richer gains than humanity has yet won. It is an accumulating force, like the warmth which the sun gives the earth in spring PRIVATE SALES AT ALL TIMES HAVE MOVED TO— 1723-39 GLENARM ST. PHONE MAIN 1675. The thinkers and dreamers of the world know that this is so. They are inspired by the consciousness that with growing knowledge there must come increased power and higher wisdom to direct and control it for the help and uplifting of mankind. The faith sees the life and growth, the color and warmth of spring, in the lengthening days of winter. They perceive that the world of men and women, and of the children, too, though still far from the full tide of its summer, is already well into the long new year of the human family. They are as certain of the spring for all mankind as they are that January will pass and May will come. It is a mistake to reflect too much upon the past. It has its lessons, but the learning of them should not so absorb our attention as to preclude us from incorporating them into our daily life, transmuting the memory and experience into the gold of useful practicability and ready work that yields results. Introspection was getting so insistently a habit of the New Year that we are beginning to forget it was but a means to an end—the reflective porch to the large and spacious chamber of lofty resolve and accomplishment. We fancy sometimes that a faint suggestion of maudlin sentiment crept into the self-analysis, converting what should have proved a stepping stone to higher planes of activity into a more purgatory of self-abnegation ending in a cul-de-sac. We want to make our reflection an avenue that leads through paths of earnest thought to the high tablelands of glorious endeavor and achievement. The soul itself must be utilitarian and not waste itself in unprofitable penance. What has the year accomplished for womanhood? There has unquestionably been a remarkable renaissance of the feminine. Woman has broadened her outlook, established her claim to wider recognition of her talents, impressed public life with her power for good, and raised her physical and mental scale of the sex. Thank God, among the general advancement there is one that is inspiringly reactionary—a reversion to the old veneration for the sanctity of motherhood—the holiest and divinest calling of all, a calling involving great sacrifice, great sorrows, but bringing with it, on the other hand, untold compensating joys.

In the countries where winter is cold and dark and grim the severest weather comes after the old year goes. It was in A ranks of nursing our efficient hospitals tell their own eloquent tale of the labor done by those who "watch the stars out by the bed of pain." For the large masses of the girlhood and womanhood the arena of commercial life has widened its doors, and evidence is seen on all hands of the efficiency of the new female recruits to the business ranks. Their presence in this great army of strenuous endeavor will tend to purify and strengthen it, and make it worthier than it has ever been before. The prizes are many, but those who do not gain them must not be disheartened. The very striving after them stiffens the fiber. "The athlete matured for the Olympian game gains strength at least for life." While I have dwelt in this short review of woman's progress on the more expert phases of her career, it must be pointed out that ability is not the be-all and the end-all of woman's existence. It is the great lever that moves things, but another quality is required for the settling down. Greater than all her accomplishments is her capacity for shedding around her wherever she goes the fragrance of a sweet and beautiful life, and smoothing out the raveled sleeve of care. It is in the belief that she is fully capable of this mission that one looks forward in confidence to the immediate future—a future in which the pulse of vibrant life will throb sympathetically and intellectually to the ultimate benefit of the whole of the community. Thoughts for New Year "Resolve and resolve and still go on the same?" Nay! Nay! not so; but rather resolve and with a steadfast purpose without equivocation or mental reservation, harness the firm resolution, the will of your intent to the wagon of your purpose loaded with the dutiful obligations of your everyday life. Obligations to home, to business relations, to the proper demand of your church and social environment, to civic and patriotic responsibilities. Duties never clash; something is paramount, something worth while. Do that! Be true to thyself, to that conception of that self which raises within you a real sense of self-respect; that self which you admire, to which you aspire; that manhood to which you would attain and toward which energies of mind and will bend, never loosing the call of the vision. Before all men honorable—a high sense of honor is a well spring of conscious joy and a reservoir of power to the possessor. The looking-glass of yourself often may discourage you, but it is the consciousness of what you ought to be, and the desire to attain, laying aside every weight or hindrance and running with patience the race you have set before you. Never stop the cry of your soul, your real self, to the call of the unreached goal. The poets with their wide and deep discernment oftimes sing truly of the soul cry and its evolution into an abundant life. Of all the myriad words of mind That through the soul come thronging Which one was e'er so dear, so kind So beautiful as longing? The thing we long for that we are For one transcendent moment Before the present poor and bare Can make its sneering comment. O for a man to rise in me That the man that I am May cease to be. Build thee more stately mansions O my soul As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy veil ~vaulted upst! Let thee new temple nobler than the last Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast With every business item and relation be honest, and fundamentally, by to escape from his matrimonial woe, explained: "I'm willin' to pay well; got the money right here in this sock." At this the justice assumed his gravest judicial air. Obviously he was deeply pained. Never before in all his life had he been so bowed down by grief. "You knew before you came here," he said sadly, "that it wasn't for me word of mouth, truthful. "Ah what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." A lie seldom travels alone. It weaves a web, in the meshes thereof sooner or later we are humiliated. The truth alone is courageous, and courage is a manly virtue. A lying tongue is the curse of a habit grafted on a cowardly nature. An individual is not honest with himself or honorable in his dealings with his fellow because he is not willing to face the unvarnished fact or bear the brunt and burden which justly is his; a responsibility only made irksome by his cowardly lie whereby he would shift the burden and stand behind the veneer of an assumption or false position. Fear not, the man within you will work out if you will it so; undiscouraged, undismisered, pressing on, you become conscious that, having done your part, it is due to arrive. Be not discouraged, fellow wayfarer. Yield to that man within you, whose insatiable longing is the inspiration that shall bring the nobler self to being; the self that now chafes at limitations; that opens the windows through which you see the visions of your undying hope, though distant yet existent, and yours to obtain if you will but hold your straight-way course. Laugh at Your Burden. Most of us are bending under the burden of some great load. It may be care, it may be disappointment, it may be injustice, it may be physical pain or spiritual discouragement, but it is heavy. Often it seems heavier than we can bear and we cry out and protest. These burdens are very real, but really they are not half as big and heavy as we make them, declares a writer in the Universalist Leader. We have had them upon our shoulders, entirely out of our sight, so long that they have been magnified by imagination or weariness or impatience, until they seem unbearable. Now, then, whatever your burden may be, however long you have been carrying it, and however proud you may have become of your self-imposed martydom just take your burden down and look at it honestly, and you will be surprised how it has dwindled away while you have been magnifying it in your mind. Look at it frankly and fearlessly and in nine cases out of ten will your tears be turned to laughter and your sighing into song. Most Famous City in History Most Famous City in History. The one spot which more than any other has controlled the history of Europe lies, strangely enough, not in Europe itself, but in Asia. For the possession of the site where Christ "suffered, was buried and rose again," more blood has been shed than for any other. An immense number of lives were laid down during the Crusades; and for 600 years before the Crusades, and even to the present time, a constant stream of pilgrims has poured into Jerusalem to worship at the spot made sacred by the crucifixion of Christ. From the fourth century after Christ until 50 years ago this site was generally conceded to be within the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Now two sites dispute the claim of being the actual Golgotha. This latter claimant is known as "Gordon's Calvary," though to an American, Dr. Harlan P. Beach, of Yale university, is due the actual discovery of it, General Gordon, the hero of Khartoum, having first secured for it general recognition.—Christian Herald. Too Strenuous Plan of Teaching. Too Strenuous Plan of Teaching. "Once upon a time, many years ago," says the Western School Journal, "this editor visited a school in which the teacher in the grammar class tried to illustrate every verb by appropriate actions. Thus the verb run was pictured in a scamper around the schoolroom; the verb strike took form on a boy's back. 'But,' remarked the visitor, 'what are you going to do with the verb lie (to tell an untruth)? You surely wouldn't ask the children to lie, and when the verb howl is in the lesson would you bid them howl!? She had never thought of that, but the absurdity of her method seemed visible to her. We hope so." to separate husband and wife, and yet you not only take up the valuable time of this court by talking, but you actually propose to bribe me with money. Now, how much have you got in that sock?" "About six dollars and a half, your honor." "Is that so?
