CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE PAYS HIGHEST TRIBUTE TO VALUE OF WOMEN IN PARTY ORGANIZATION
Will H. Hays Has Unalterable Faith in Newly Enfranchised Voters and Believes Women Will Unfailingly Be Aligned With Republican Party in Its Constructive Efforts Toward Law and Order and Progressive and Stable Government.
VOL. XXVI.
CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLIC COMMITTEE PAYS HIS VALUE OF WOMEN
Will H. Hays Has Unalterable Fate and Believes Women Will Ursulian Party in Its Constructive and Progressive and Stable C
M R Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, in his speech at the recent Chicago conference, paid fitting tribute to the value of women in party organizations. Among other things he said:
"There are two natural inquiries from women new in politics: First, What does the Republican party offer the women? Second, What does the Republican party stand for?
"The Republican party offers the women everything we offer the men. The Republican women in the country constitute one-half of the party's membership. In many states this has long been so. In the presidential campaign of 1920 it is my very earnest hope and well-founded judgment that it shall be so everywhere. The Republican women come into the party activity, not as women, but as voters, entitled to participate, and participating just as other voters.
"Within the Republican party there is and must be full political self-determination. It is entirely up to the party membership to say what the party's purpose shall be, what its policies shall become. This fundamentally is what we offer the women—the chance to express themselves.
"I would rather a woman join with our opponents than belong to no party. One of the first truths most important for this large group of new voters to realize is that their efforts for right things in government can be made effective only through organization.
"In all our efforts the best brains and hearts in the country are necessary. Women are able to contribute and owe to the situation the peculiar ability which is theirs. We trust the women voters in this country to help the Republican party carry out its determination to require that the highest standards of health be maintained and enforced; that there is a proper compulsory school education; that we have proper limitation in the hours of work for women in employment where standing is required and that there be an eight-hour day; that there is proper prohibition of child labor and that there shall be adopted as speedily as possible every practical principle which can further humanize industry.
"I know the women, in their first national expression of the power of franchise, will show their innate and continuing reverence for that on which rests the safety of the holiest things in life—law and order and progressive, stable government."
"Remember, Republican women, there are no yesterday in our politics. We do not care how any one voted in 1912, 1916 or 1918, nor his reason for so doing. All who are engaged in the great work that is before us are entitled to the same consideration, the one who has not always voted with us and the one who has always voted with us, because perchance, he may not have had any reason for doing otherwise. Politics is a matter of assimilation and not of elimination."
SOME THINGS NEGROES WANT.
A message from Virginia Negroes: First—We want equal accommodations in public carriages. We now pay first-class fares and are forced to accept third-class accommodations. On railroad and street cars the quarters assigned to us are inadequate for the numbers and are poorly kept. No provision is made on steam cars for sleeping-car or dining-car accommodations. At only a few of the railroad stations are provisions made for feeding the Negro traveling public. The toilets at most of the stations are poorly kept and on some of the trains there is only one toilet for both men and women. We deeply feel the humiliation that the "Jim Crow Car law" and segregation bring upon the Negro race and urge the white people to abolish it.
Second—Negroes want justice in the proper distribution of advantages in their living quarters in both city and country. Wherever we live in large numbers the streets generally are not paved; the section is not adequately lighted or policed; sewage is not provided, and there are negligence and indifference in the general improvements.
Third—We want equality of wages in the economic life of the state. We feel keenly the injustice of discrimination in pay for the same work done. If a Negro bricklayer does the same work just as satisfactorily as a white man, he in all justice deserves the same pay. This holds true in domestic service, in the trades, on the farm, in the profession of teaching, and everywhere else.
Fourth—We want the same provision made for the education of our children as is made for white children; we want a just distribution of public school funds; equal high school advantages in curriculum and equipment; a compulsory school law just as binding upon Negro children as upon white children, and opportunities provided by the state for college training for Negro youth.—Southern Workman.
THE PRESS BEARS ITS SUFFERING INS ALONE.
ON every hand when dissatisfaction arises among the individuals, any body of men or employees in general, there seems to appear on the scene an alternative which either allays their suffering or offers a redress for the wrongs done them, but when it comes to the press, the newspaperman, the proprietor of the paper, they seem to be left alone out in the cold to bear the heavy weight, the extra load put on them whether it comes from the government or any other agency. Now the price of print paper has been going up, up, up during and since the war, and when we bring our cause to the public for a raise in the price of subscription, or

job printing, the idea is viewed with so much of alarm. Quite a number of daily and weekly newspapers have gone under, yet we try to keep above the tide, at the same time assuring you that in the several years of our existence in the field we have never had an experience as this. We trust therefore that our patrons will bear with us, measuring up to the necessity which compels an increase, the same to be announced later, and which we will gladly remove as soon as the circumstances warrant.
CITIZEN'S DEFENSE FUND COM
MISSION ORGANIZED.
Several days ago leading Negroes from all parts of the state of Arkansas assembled in the city of Little Rock and organized the Citizen's Defense Fund Commission. The personnel of the commission is as follows: Dr. J. G. Thornton, Chairman; J. H. McConico, Secretary; Dr. H. W. Suggs, treasurer; Rev. J. P. Robinson and Rev. R. M. Caver.
The object for which this commission was created is to raise funds to conduct the defense of the eighty-seven Negroes convicted in connection with the recent race trouble in Phillips county, Arkansas. The men composing this commission are well established citizens of wide acquaintance and represent the very highest type of spiritual, professional and business activity.
Twelve of the Negroes convicted in connection with the Phillips county trouble have been sentenced to die in the electric chair and seventy-five to serve sentences in the Arkansas penitentiary ranging from five to twenty-one years.
Negroes throughout the state and nation feel that these Negroes should be given full opportunity to prove their guilt or innocence and in view of that fact counsel have been employed to fight the cases to the end. A few days ago a motion was filed in the Phillips County Circuit Court for a new trial. The motion was over ruled. On January 9th an appeal was taken to the Arkansas Supreme Court for a new trial. Every effort will be made to defend the rights of these Negroes both in the state and federal courts. To fight these cases through the courts will require a large sum of money, and the Citizen's Defense Fund Commission is now calling upon Negroes throughout the country to contribute to this fund. The Negroes in every community are requested to make contributions through some well established organization like the church, club, benevolent, civic associations, etc., or send contributions direct to the secretary, J. H. McConico, Box 112, Little Rock, Ark. In this matter the race must act and act at once. Contributions should be made and remitted promptly in order that the progress of the defense be not handicapped for lack of funds.
NEGRO "Y" WORKERS OVERSEAS.
Of the large group of "Y" workers who went overseas, eighty-four were Negroes, and twenty-three of these were women, only three of whom were in France during the actual fighting; not until months after the armistice were other Negro women sent overseas. There were never more than seventy-five Negro "Y" secretaries in France at any one time, and they were scattered among nearly 200,000 Negro troops. Many times Negro men were
met in France who had never seen a Negro "Y" worker, and had not received service from any "Y" worker. These seventy-five secretaries served with the fighting units and with the troops in the service of supplies and in leave areas. The fighting units of Negro soldiers were the 92d and 93d Divisions, the latter comprising four regiments brigaded with the French. It was in these units that the secretaries won well-deserved praise for faithful service and unfaltering courage. The airplane raids, bombardments from enemy guns, and bursting gas shells did not slacken their ardor to follow the men wherever they went. This work was well summed up, in a talk given to Negro secretaries at a banquet in Paris by Mr. E. C. Carter, head of the Y. M. C. A. overseas, who said: "No group of secretaries has been more successful nor has any work been on a higher level. I have been impressed most by your spirit. Sometimes you have met with difficulties and have been insulted by workers with the red triangle on their arms, but in it all you have shown the spirit of the Great Master."—Southern Workman.
MOB RULE IN AMERICA
If democracy means anything, it means the freedom of the people peaceably to assemble and to discuss without restraint any subject upon which they choose to deliberate. The first duty of the government is to protect every citizen in the exercise of the fundamental rights guaranteed under the constitution.
The constitution provides:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
The real enemies of the government are the men who are attempting to prevent exercise of these rights. They are striking at the roots of democracy and over-turning the constitution.
We need Legislation in this country making it a crime for any individual or any organization to interfere with the exercise of the rights of free speech, free press and free assemblage.
New laws are particularly needed for the guidance of men in public office.
Mayors, governors and federal officials who took a solemn oath to "preserve, protect and defend the constitution' have violated that oath by denying to the people their fundamental liberties.
The press is filled with praise for these men, who have betrayed their public trust, but the people in good time will demand an accounting.
The country has of late been treated with the spectacle of small mobs of returned soldiers breaking up lawful meetings of their fellow citizens. These men took the oath to defend the constitution. They were sent abroad to "make the world safe for democracy." Under wise leadership, the rank and file of patriotic service men will discourage this lawless element who are destroying democracy in their own land. There is no room in this country for any man or any organization of men who seek to substitute for the law the methods of force and to establish mob rule in America.—La Follette's Magazine.
RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources
Indianapolis, Ind. (Reciprocal News Service).—Mr. J. D. Howard, editor of the Indianapolis Ledger, died at 9:25 Thursday morning. His death came at the end of a prolonged illness and caused deep sorrow among the citizens of this city, and from the expressions that have come it caused the same kind of a feeling throughout the nation.
Mr. Howard was a prominent factor in the affairs of Indianapolis. He was a member of the leading organizations of the city and state, as well as the National Negro Press Association.
A special message was wired to the secretary of the National Negro Press Association at Nashville, Tennessee, the day of his death. Arrangements for the funeral are under way, and a number of out of town visitors are expected.
SAM LANGFORD TO PARIS; MAY MEET CARPENTIER.
Famous Heavyweight Will Sail for France With Manager Carr Late in February—Three Bouts at French Capital—Carr Accepts All Terms.
Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 14.—There is a possibility that Jack Dempsey may lose out for the chance for the quarter of a million dollar purse, providing plans for Monsieurs Vienne and Decoin, French promoters, materialize, according to B. F. Steinel, Milwaukee, representative of the French promoters.
Howard Carr of Chicago, manager of Sam Langford, colored heavyweight, was in Milwaukee January 6 conferring with Steinel and while here, accepted the cabled offer of the French promoters to bring Langford to Paris for a series of bouts, which it is expected will lead up to a battle with Georges Carpentier.
Manager Carr will leave late this month or early in February and in addition to Langford he will take George Wilson also, another heavyweight boxer, to France.
According to the present plans, Langford is to engage in three bouts in Paris, the first one with Niles, ex-heavyweight champion, the second with Paul Hams, present title holder, and the final bout with Carpentier. The French promoters have named the terms under which Langford is to box and Carr has accepted all of them. Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, in a letter received by Steinel, said that he had the numerous offers under consideration at present and that he did not intend to close with any one for some time to come.
NEGRO YOUTH SENTENCED TO
STATE REFORMATORY.
Colorado Springs, Jan. 19.—Richard Washington, a colored youth of this city who recently made police history here by looting a safe, stealing two automobiles and breaking jail, was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence in the reformatory at Buena Vista today by Judge Arthur Cornforth of the District Court. Washington pleaded
NO.15
guilty to charges of grand larceny. He escaped from the city jail by prying steel bars off a ventilating shaft. He was arrested at La Junta after fleeing south by way of Pueblo, where he was fired on by a posse.
MAYOR KEEPS HIS PROMISE TO
COLORED PEOPLE.
Three Colored Candidates for Public Office Were Slated and Elected on Republican Ticket.
Coatesville, Pa., Jan. 6.—The fact is not generally known that a recent election held here three colored men were elected to office, viz.: A colored real estate assessor, an alderman and a constable. This, too, happened in a city that sometime ago was disgraced by a lynching. For which a large majority of its people now deeply regret. Much credit is due to Dr. William A. Credit for recent results. He came here some months ago and had a conference with our Mayor, and got him to promise that he would place the name of three colored men on the ticket with himself, and he kept his word.
The Mayor also promised to improve the streets where our people reside. This he will also do. All of which prove that what is really needed in every city is wise leadership. The rest will be found to be comparatively easy.
STATISTICS SHOW BIRTH DECREASE.
Columbus, S. C., Jan. 15.—Negro births in South Carolina during the first ten months of 1919 show a decrease of 2,064 as compared with the same period of time for 1918, according to the annual report of the bureau of vital statistics, now being made up. White births show an increase of 219 over the figures for 1918.
The decrease in the Negro birth rate is accounted for by C. W. Miller, chief clerk of the Vital Statistics Bureau, on the theory "that large numbers of Negroes have left the state in the past two years, and when the census for 1920 is taken it will be found that the Negro population has been largely overestimated."
The Negro migration from South Carolina to Northern and Central Western cities in the early part of the year was widely commented upon, but as they left as a rule in small bodies the extent of the movement may not have been fully realized. The decrease in the number of births in a single year of more than 2,000 caused much comment at the health office.
The Negro births for 1918 totaled 17,527. The total for 1919 was 15,463. The white births for the same two years were 14,793 and 15,012 respectively.

Y. M. C. A. GOES OVER TOP IN MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
THE great Y. M. C. A. drive for 500 members is now a thing of history, having officially closed last Sunday afternoon. How well the workers succeeded can be best understood, when it is known that at the beginning of the drive the membership of the branch was 52. The roll which is printed below shows it to be, at the close of the drive, 655. This shows that 603 members were brought in during the great drive. This drive was perhaps the most successful movement ever undertaken by our people in the city of Denver, and shows what may be accomplished by hard, incessant effort. The great roll which the known address of each member, is as follows;

The above list is published for two reasons: First, in order that the citizens of Denver may see and know the present membership of the Y. M. C. A., and, second, with the hope that if by any chance any member's name has been omitted, or any member's address is wrongly given, or not given at all, such a member may inform us at once, so that the proper corrections may be made. As this is the last time this full list will be published, we would advise all who would like to keep a copy of the members for future reference to secure one or more copies of this paper. It would be a fine thing also to send copies to friends living in other cities who might like to know what is being done in Denver. The names of those joining from now on will appear in our NOTES from week to week.

ANOTHER MERITORIOUS CASE.
GRADUALLY the mist is disappearing and the beautiful sunlight of the spirit humanitarian begins to dawn upon that species of God's highest and best creation—man—who has at last realized that to maintain his superiority over the lower creation he must act rightly towards his fellow-man, and therefore we feel gratified to publish the following, which will, we sincerely trust, act like the little leaven in the whole meal of the white race in this country, giving credit where credit is due, and consigning to oblivion the mockery of RACE PREJUDICE, which is without foundation, and should not be entertained in this GREAT DEMOCRACY by either employer or associate employe:
"I see before me a young colored man," said Mr. F. A. Seiberling, president and general manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, at the annual banquet of employés, "whom the men in the factory have selected as their representative. I want to congratulate the men down in the factory for their big, broad-minded action when they can break down racial ties, religious ties and social ties, or prejudices, if you please, and select a man on his merit, without regard to his color or his creed. Young man, I hope you will prove worthy of the confidence placed in you and that you may be an example to your race, whom, we must all admit, the white race has not treated fairly."
The foregoing expression of this rubber company's president goes to prove that there are members of the white race who, realizing the disadvantages our people labor under, and possessing the spirit of fair play, will acknowledge merit and commend action of this sort so highly as to convince others that a fair chance to us would greatly help the solution of what is made to be a problem of much difficulty in our nation. We record and elaborate on the various cruelties, illegal acts, discriminations, etc., thrust upon us, and we are manly enough to offer our admiration and give our hearty congratulations to the other side who of their own volition appreciate our services to the extent of publicly declaring it, and offer their best wishes for our maintaining the confidence placed in us. Mr. Seiberling is therefore enlisted in the ranks of Americans who are perfectly alive to the fundamental principles that shape and guide this nation's destiny, and whenever this vision as a whole shall be possessed by the majority of our American population, there shall come, as must be, innumerable blessings, benefits and gifts to a people who will no longer standardize the ill actions of the few, but immortalize the truisms of Nature and Nature's God, thereby giving the proof that OF ONE BLOOD ALL MEN ARE MADE TO DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
SHOULD OUR PEOPLE OR THE WHITES CHOOSE OUR POLITICAL LEADERS?
THIS, the year of the presidential election, resurrects numerous political branches as well as gives birth to a number of organizations of both Republican and Democratic politics among the colored and white voters of our city and state, and as we have no desire to interfere with the multiplied number, we can only say to our Republican associates: "Welcome! the more the merrier"—the usual political greeting. Up to the present we have been informed that there are about six organizations that have launched the Republican boom among our people, and we must be thankful that a Democrat reminder has not exhibited itself, and hope none of us will be so inclined or misled by the agents of the "bitter-sweet" party. But with all this organizing, representation and choice of leaders among our electors, we are always at a loss to discover why the people as a whole, through their organizations, are never consulted by the political leaders of the other side as to persons that should be selected or chosen for their leaders or representatives. Just a recommendation from an individual or a friend must be sufficient for the large body of Negro voters—the same increasing by leaps and bounds, owing to the exodus that is going on, and we dare not question or challenge, as the alternative thought would be jealousy or something bordering on sinister motives. But what about the large body of tax-paying, home-owners who have to follow where the order "to obey" is given? They are not permitted to have a voice. They do not measure up, in the estimation of the white leaders, and hence the compulsory method of having to accept whoever is chosen by them, whether he or she is a brilliant speech-maker with poor moral standards, or an educated character void of those ethical qualities that make for leadership from an all-around standpoint.
In some instances, in the way of obtaining servants, persons for manual labor, menial service, etc., we are generally consulted, as we are told "we know our people best"; but when it comes to a position of leadership or some conspicuous role in the political life of our people, the general opinion seems to relegate us to the order of mental weaklings, as we have no chance to be heard in the selection of THOSE THAT WE KNOW. In other words, play them conveniently; if the choice turns out successfully, it goes to the credit of those who made the selection (the whites, of course); but if a phase of inconsistency, something indignifying or a reflection on the manly principles of our people happen to appear on the scene, then WE —THE NEGRO WHOLE—get the denunciation, the scornful turn, and everything that savors of the wrong.
Because we have been approached on the matter of some of our people who, after being selected for prominent positions to lead us politically, compromise our real standing in the community by engaging or indulging in actions unbecoming the position given them, we feel in deference to the public, justified in stating that the responsibility for such actions should rest on the individual who is the choice of "the powers that be" and who may not be necessarily the choice of the people. Education, fine apparel, making the appearance attractive, moral principles have their parts to play and are conducive to that which is highest and noblest, but even with these qualities, one act seriously reflecting on SELF-RESPECT or having a tendency to reduce the dignifying aspect that should accompany leadership, may cause permanent destruction to a people, a race that have been trying these many years in the construction of monuments to be handed down to their posterity. If our leaders must be chosen behind closed doors in midnight sessions, then let us have the satisfaction that we must be held blameless if their dark sides turn to the mirror afterwards.
Two Out of Three Soldiers Improved Mentally Through Their Service.
By MAJ. GEN. W. C. HAAN, in New York World.
When we were first beginning to call on the young manhood of America to take up arms in the country's defense, the so-called psychological test was devised to determine each man's mental capacities—his speed of mind, his alertness, his capacity for forming quick judgments, his general knowledge, his reflex to questions put quickly and allowing little more than instantaneous thought for an answer.
P. S. S.
One of the largest employers of labor in the United States, whose name I withhold at his request, made the same tests on the group of his men who he re-employed after their service in the army. Out of more than 600 returned soldiers, 64 per cent were more efficient and alert mentally than before they had joined the army, 32 per cent remained as they were and 4 per cent were rated as having gone back.
In a word, two soldiers out of each three who received army training improved mentally. Their judgments were more alert, their minds more orderly and precise, their thought more speedy and their actions more determined.
Does this not go to show that the millions of young Americans who served in the army and navy are going to be better business men and workers as a result of the training they received? The great mass of them went into the army at an age when they were most susceptible to discipline, which made them alert mentally, sounder morally and inestimably better off physically. What a combination!
Why? Because they were taught the great lesson of doing everything, no matter how trivial it might appear to them, in a workmanlike manner.
In a word, they learned to concentrate—and that is the hardest job an American of today has to learn.
New Plans of Salvation Army Enlarged to Meet Every Kind of Trouble
By EVANGELINE BOOTH, Salvation Army
How is the Salvation Army going to spend its $13,000,000? What is the new peace work that the Salvation Army is about to undertake that requires such a relatively large sum to finance it?
We need the $13,000,000 in order that no man, woman or child requiring help of any kind shall ever be turned from our doors because of the lack of funds or facilities. Through our corps, our slum settlement- and our 220 institutions we plan to be able to lend assistance to every type of person—to any one, anywhere, who happens to require it.
The new plans of the Salvation Army do not differ radically from the old prewar days, but they are so enlarged and so broadened that they embrace every phase of philanthropic activity—a relief for every type of trouble, aid for every manner of want.
Buildings or lots in various parts of the country are being purchased for an enlargement of existent relief and religious work. In 28 cities new property has already been purchased, either for corps sites, where all local religious and relief work will be carried on, or for some much-needed institution. In every city of the United States a survey was made by the Salvation Army and plans were immediately formulated to fill the most conspicuous needs.
In this manner the Salvation Army is endeavoring to use its Home Service Fund to the greatest possible advantage in each community. In some cases it means merely an enlargement and broadening of the present scope; but in other instances it means the starting of new activities and the solving of new problems, all in order that the endless chain of relief work which stretches around the world may meet the needs of those who require our help.
Annexation to United States Favored by People of British West Indies
By B. C. FRITH, Legislative Director
People of the British West Indies, even those of English birth, favor for economic reasons the transfer of a portion of the islands to the United States as liquidation of a part of Great Britain's war debt—the suggestion made to parliament recently by Lord Rothermere.
It is a foregone conclusion in the minds of every man who is familiar with the West Indian situation that they will some day become possessions of the United States. It does not matter what England wants nor what the natives want nor what America wants. Their position and their condition make its ultimate end American. It may not come in my time, but it will come. It is inevitable.
The residents of the Turks and Caicas islands realize the inevitability of the transfer to America. They are heartily in favor of it. As strongly as we love Great Britain—I am a born and bred Britisher—the advantage of having a home country nearer than England is essential to our prosperity.
The islands mentioned by Lord Rothermere include the Bermudas the Bahamas and some of the other West Indian islands, but not Jamaica Barbados or Trinidad. In some of the islands excepted by Lord Rothermere I believe that there would be objection to the transfer. In Jamaica I believe it would be very strong.
Perhaps Bermuda would have a less enthusiastic feeling about the advisability of the transfer of allegiance, but I think that I voice the feelings of the business men of my islands, and I am in a position to know having lived there all my life, when I say that they would favor the move.
Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior—America was torn from the forces of nature. Our forefathers, the first emigrants to these shores, were compelled to fight for their homes against dangers that today can scarcely be imagined and against odds that were heartbreaking. It is well that this was so. For out of the throes of their travail America has become more than a land. America is a spirit. America is an aspiration. America is an attitude toward men and material things—an outiook and a faith. America is something mystical that lives in the heavens. It is the constant and continuous searching of the human heart for the thing that is better.

It affords us much pleasure to publish the educational advancement of our people at home and abroad, as the journals of the other side magnify our faults and are very sparing with their comments for good. Keep it up, Master Rose!" is the wish of the Colorado Statesman.

GOVERNOR FRANK O. LOWDEN OF
ILLINOIS GUEST AT DENVER
STOCK SHOW.
GOVERNOR LOWDEN of Illinois, who visited the city last Thursday, emphasized in his speeches the necessity for every patriotic citizens to give his first attention to American political institutions, purifying them to the extent that every true American would count as his first or chief business the government of his country in place of his private affairs.
The governor highly commended Denver and Colorado for their growth, and expressed his pleasure at seeing our state becoming an important agricultural as it is a mineral factor in the nation. Being a breeder of fine thoroughbred cattle, Governor Lowden is considered an authority, and his visit to the stock show impressed him with Colorado's entrance into the stock market as a favorable competitor. From recent occurrences with LAW AND ORDER in Illinois and the action of this executive with right and fair play, Governor Lowden is being boosted as a presidential nominee.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Notwithstanding the fact that the great drive is officially over, the membership continues to increase. From 654 at the close of the drive, it is now 672. It is expected that it will be close around the 700 mark by the close of the month.
"The Meaning of the Great Drive" was the general subject of the meeting last Sunday afternoon. One meaning, said one of the speakers, was that at last Denver had found itself—had at last become conscious of its own power and ability to put over big things, and from this time on it will be an easier matter to accomplish great thing than it has ever been before. It also means, said another, that the good colored people of Denver have finally awakened to the needs, social and otherwise, of her young men and young women, and that they are at last willing to lend their influence to those great movements that are striving for a better manhood and citizenship. Letters and telegrams were read from Julius Rosenwald's secretary in Chicago regretting that Mr. Rosenwald's absence from the city made it impossible for him to respond to our communication, Secretary Robert B. De Frantz, International Secretary Dr. J. E. Moorland, and from the board of directors of the Denver Y. M. C. A., all expressing in the very highest terms their appreciation of the work of the branch.
The committee of management, at its regular monthly meeting last Sunday afternoon, appointed Mr. A. A. Waller as collector of the unfinished membership fees. The list is now being prepared and Mr. Waller will get on the job next week. Members are also requested to make payments at the regular Sunday afternoon meetings, or leave the same with the secretary or the stenographer, Miss Naomi Brown, at the Y. M. C. A. building.
The regular Sunday afternoon meeting will be held at Fern Hall tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 4 o'clock. The Rev. Dr. W. O. Davis, dean of theology of the Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock, Ark., will be the speaker. Dr. Davis will speak on the terrible horrors which recently took place in Arkansas, in which scores of our people were killed and driven from their homes. Everyone should hear this thrilling and pathetic story. Ladies will also be admitted to the meeting.
Dr. Julius Wolf, physician and surgeon, announces the opening of branch offices at 2711 Welton street. Hours, 1 to 3 p. m., 7 to 8 p. m.; Sunday 10 to 11 a. m.
SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES.
Sunday will be observed as Western University Day.
The Rev. Dr. J. B. Ransom will occupy the pulpit at the morning hour; at 3 p. m. the Rev. Dr. Beebe, dean of theology at Denver University, will deliver an interesting message, and in the evening the alumni of Western University, assisted by the choir, will present a pleasing program.
Monday evening, January 26th, Dr. Ransom, candidate for bishop from the Fifth Episcopal district, will lecture on "The Negro in the New Era." To miss this will be missing a rare treat.
The drive is on and every member is expected to make Shorter Chapel an "Every Member Church." The requirements are: Every member a growing Christian; every member regularly attending the church, class and prayer meeting services; every member at work in some of the church activities; every member contributing regularly to the financial support of the church. Is that the kind of member that you purpose to be? If so, begin now.
Pay to Be Straight
There's a satisfaction in living up to your obligations. Only the man who consistently meets his bills can look the world in the face without either feeling shame or acting the lie. It makes a fellow step with a firmer tread when he knows that he has done his best and that no one can call him a slacker or point toward him the finger of scorn. Sometimes he may feel burdened by this constant living up to ideals when others don't, but the load will soon become one of satisfaction as conscience declares approval. You can't do better than live up to your sense of obligation—Grit.
Courage.
True courage is a spiritual victory and cannot be marked with a physical label. It is developed and strengthened, as is everything, by exercise. Its index is not in squareness of chin, but in squareness of purpose; not in firmness of lips, but in fashioning the lips to speak the truth; not in depth of chest, but in depth of soul; not in confident tread, but in walking uprightly. -W. S. C.
Still Time to Repent.
The only religion that fixes a date for the end of the world is that of the Hindos. According to their faith, the world is in the last of four separate periods. This period is 432,000 mundae years, of which 5,020 have elapsed, so that they figure the world has 426,980 years still to exist.

CAPITOL PETROLEUM
(A Producing Dividend Paying Company)
has recently closed deals for additional valuable property in Texas, which is now being held subject to examination and passing of title, as follows:
1-10 ACRES IN THE IOWA PARK OIL DISTRICT OF TEXAS.
This 10 acres of land is located about two miles almost due east of the 900 barrel flowing well known as the KEMP-MUNGER-ALLEN well. It is surrounded by many producing wells that pump from 85 to 175 barrels of oil a day. A hundred producing wells are in sight of this 10-acre tract. A deep test is drilling about half a mile from this 10-acre tract, and will reach the deep sand, if no trouble arises, in a few weeks.
2-1095 ACRES IN NORMANGEE OIL DISTRICT OF TEXAS.
This tract lies near the town of Normangee, Leon County, Texas. It is proven territory. A well was drilled with a small rig to a depth of 1,087 feet and found oil. With this small rig they were unable to shut off the water. This company sold out to the Standard Oil Co., who put in a standard rig and moved over to the middle of the land and drilled a new well. At 1,107 feet they found what their manager wired to the home office as being "a thousand-barrel well and 30 feet of oil-producing sand."
3-75 ACRES IN McCULLOUGH COUNTY OIL DISTRICT OF TEXAS.
This 75-acre tract is surrounded by shallow wells that have either come in or are drilling. Numerous wells have been drilled to the first shallow sand, 211 feet. This sand produces from 35 to 50 barrels of high-grade oil per day. The oil tests 42.5 gravity, being the same high grade as is had at RANGER at a depth of 3,200 feet. About 66 wells are drilling at this time.
4—2000 ACRES IN RANGER OIL DISTRICT OF TEXAS.
This 2,000-acre tract is in the southwest part of Parker County, Texas, and on the Pennsylvania formation. The Sun Oil Company is drilling about two or three miles northwest of this land. The Sinclair Oil Co. brought in a well about ten miles southwest on the line of Hood County and it has just been shot and bridged over and will be shot again. It is making both oil and gas as it is, and if this well comes in as good as it is believed this lease will be worth many times its present value. 5-30,000 ACRES IN TERRY COUNTY, TEXAS (wildcat acreage, but reported on favorably by competent geologists).

ARE YOU
GUILTY?
A FARMER carrying an express package from a big mail-order house was accosted by a local dealer.
"Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality."
The farmer looked at the mer-
"Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise? I read it and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here."

HEAT-PRODUCING FOODS.
God's great out-of-doors is ever calling and if we do not heed its call we send us in bills that will call for heavy and sometimes frightful settlements.
Our thoughts determine our acts and therefore our lives, as well as the influence of our lives upon all about us, either by way of good or by way of hindrance, with absolute precision.—Ralph Waldo Trine.
At this season sweetments are very popular. The following is wholesome
During the winter months in the northern states pork and other fat
Nut, Date and Chocolate Sweetmeat—Hent four tablespoonfuls of honey or maple syrup to the boiling point; add half a pound of the slightly sweet dipping chocolate and let stand over hot water until the chocolate is soft; add one package of dates.
meats are commonly served, as in cool weather the body is more active, burns up more fuel and is able to digest heavy and heartier foods.
COOKING
monly served, as in cool weather the body is more active, burns up more fuel and is able to digest heavy and heart-ler foods.
Broiled Pork Tenderloin.—Split the tenderloin in two and broil under the gas flame or over coals. Have the heat intense at first and sear the meat on both sides to hold the juices. Reduce the heat and when the meat is puffed and nicely brown remove to a hot platter. Season with salt, pepper and bits of butter.
cut from the seeds in small even pieces, half a cupful of blanched almonds, cut in shreds and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Mix well with a wooden spoon to blend thoroughly. Have ready some biscuit tins or a brick mold lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture into the mold and cover with paper, then lay on a weight. Let stand six hours to ripen.
Stuffed Pork Tenderloin. — Select medium-sized tenderloins, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in cold water. Split the meat lengthwise, making a slight incision with a sharp knife, then pulling the muscle until it is almost split in two. Make a dressing of bread, salt, pepper, summer savory, onion juice, and molten with water. Spread the dressing on the split side of the meat, remembering that it swells with cooking. Place a second tenderloin over the dressing. Sew the edges together with coarse thread. Place in a buttered pan with a cupful of hot water. Bake in a moderately hot oven for three-quarters of an hour, lowering the heat after the first twenty minutes. Put a few bits of butter in the pan and baste frequently. One tenderloin may be used for a small family.
Fruit Cup.—For five glasses ake one orange, three bananas, half a package of dates, one cupful of white grapes, measured after they are skinned, cut in halves and seeded, 12 pistachio nuts, the juice of half a lemon and three-fourths of a cupful of cream. Remove all the peeling and membrane from the orange, separate into sections and cut each in halves crosswise. Peel the banana, scrape to remove the threads, cut in thin, even slices and squeeze over them the juice of half a lemon. Pour boiling water over the dates, drain and place on a dish to dry in a hot oven, then remove the pits and cut in sections. Mix all the fruit together, then dispose in glasses, pouring the fruit sirup over it. Whip the cream and pipe it above the fruit; serve very cold.
Pork Tenderloin French Style.—Wipe the tenderloin carefully and with a sharp knife cut into slices about an inch thick across the tenderloin. Round the pointed ends of each and pound each piece to flatten it. Season with salt, pepper and roll in flour. Have ready smoking hot fat. Drop in the meat and turn at once in order to form a crust on both sides. Continue cooking at a lower temperature and cook for twenty minutes. Pour off the fat, except two tablespoonfuls. Add three tablespoonfuls of flour and a little salt. As soon as the flour is a golden brown, add milk and stir vigorously to keep the gravy smooth. Add milk until the gravy is a trifle thin. Season to taste and pour around the meat.
Prune and Cottage Cheese Salad.— Sonk choice prunes over night; cook until tender. When cold cut open, remove the stones, and cut the prune in smooth even pieces. Press cottage cheese for an hour or longer, then cut in half-inch cubes. For each serving beat two tablespoonfuls of thick prune juice, a teaspoonful each of lemon juice and sugar or honey and two tablespoonfuls of olive oil until thick. Place a layer of the prunes on lettuce hearts, the cheese above. Pour over the dressing and serve at once.
WHAT TO EAT.
Every child has the inallenable right to be loved; to have its individuality respected; to be trained wisely in mind, body and soul; to be protected from disease, from evil influences and evil persons and to have a fair chance in life. That state is definquent which does not ceaselessly strive to secure these inallenable rights to its children.-Indiana's Child Creed.
GOOD THINGS TO EAT.
Benjamin Franklin gave this advice to a young man: "Keep an exact account both of your expenses and your income. If you take the palms at first to mention particulars, it will have this good effect—you will discover how wonderfully small, trifling expenses mount up to large sums, and will discern what might have been and may for the future be saved without occasioning any great inconvenience."
If the family have good appetites the planning of a meal is not such a
problem is It is with fussy, finicky people, who have troublesome digestions. A most anybody can digest such a dish as the following; however:
VINE
This is the time of year when rich cakes like fruit cakes and puddings
made of suet and fruit are most enjoyed. With butter and eggs at such prices, most housewives will curtail the rich cake making.
Apple Snow.—Pare and quarter tart apples, add boiling water and cook until tender. Press through a sieve. To two cupfuls of pulp add a half cupful of honey and the grated rind of half a lemon, with the juice. Heat to the boiling point, add one and one-half tablespoonfuls of granulated gelatine softened in one-third of a cupful of cold water, and stir until the gelatine is melted. Chill, and when the mixture begins to jelly, add the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs, and heat with a Dover egg beater until very one. Turn into a mold, and when firm, serve unmolded with cream or boiled custard.
Fruit Cake.—Take one pound each of butter and sugar, twelve eggs, one cupful of New Orleans molasses, one cupful of very strong coffee infusion, one pound of flour browned to a medium brown, two pounds of seeded raisins, two pounds of currants or sultana raisins, one pound of candied cherries, one pound of citron, sliced very thin, two tablespoonfuls of ground cinnamon, one tablespoonful of cloves, one small nutmeg grated, and one teaspoonful of black pepper. Add one teaspoonful of soda to the molasses. Add more flour if needed and use it unbrowned. Mix and bake in a slow oven.
Compote of Bananas.—Make a sip of sugar or honey and half a cupful of water. Peel and scrape two or three bananas, then cut in thin slice; add to the sirup and boil, shaking the pan to cook all sides evenly. Add a little lemon rind or orange rind for flavor to the sirup. Skim the bananas as they soften, to a plate. When all are cooked, boil down the sirup a little, and when cool add the bananas.
Ginger Cream.—Make a custard of the yolks of four eggs and the whites of two, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of preserved ginger sugar, and one pint of milk. Just before the custard is done add enough gelatine to slightly thicken and let it completely dissolve. As soon as the custard coats the spoon set the dish in cold water to arrest the cooking. Turn into molds. Sprinkle each mold with preserved ginger.
Fruit Salad.—For each service take a slice of pineapple, the flesh of one-fourth of a grapefruit, half a canned pear, three heart leaves of lettuce, two tablespoonfuls of fruit juice (canned fruit juice may be used), half a teaspoonful of lemon juice, two tablespoonfuls of olive oil and one-fourth of a teaspoonful each of salt and paprika. Arrange the fruit on the lettuce. Beat the salad dressing ingredients with a Dover egg beater, pour over the fruit, and serve at once.
Baked Apple Dumplings—Select tart apples that do not lose their shape in cooking. Pare evenly, after the cores are removed. Put the apples into enough water to float them, and add one cupful of water. Cook until almost done. Remove from the sirup and cook the sirup until thick. Place each apple in a square of pastry. Fill the cavities with sugar and lemon juice, and drop the thickened sirup over the top of the apples. Moisten the edges of the pastry and press together over the top of the apple. Put in a baking tin and bake a nice brown. Serve with cream just sour enough to be thick, adding powdered sugar and nutmeg.
To avoid monotony have a variety of breakfast foods. None of the foods named should be omitted from the daily diet. Plenty of fruit and vegetables are absolutely essential and do not stint them on wholesome fats. Plenty of butter or egg yolk with whole milk is another necessity.
Nellie Maxwell
BELGIUM SKETCHES
By Katharine Eggleston Roberts.
Near a field where the yellow grass struggled to grow in the shell-holes, white-faced, pinobed little children played among the dead fruit trees. Summer had come and gone in a land once more at peace, but the trees had shown no green, for the Boche had murdered them, and the fields had produced no grain, for the Hun had steeped them in polson. Here in the chill autumn mists, the children played to forget that, into the half of their house that remained, the night wind would blow through the shrapnel chinks.
She heard them shouting and singing and the gaunt woman paused in her work to look through the wooden-barred window. How could they be so happy? But they didn't know what winter was bringing. She had to face that alone. They knew only that jumping games kept one warm. They were her children, hers, and she must find a way. Those slender legs that looked too small to lift the heavy sabots—she must keep them dancing, somehow. "Somehow—somehow," the word hummed in her head as she moved about the room making up the beds with their scanty coverings. If only she had a mattress for the little ones, it would help to keep them warm.
If only the fields had answered her prayer, if only the fruit trees had bloomed! Her mouth grew sullen as she thought of their stubborn refusal to nourish her babies. She peered between the bars of the window and horror dilated her eyes. Those trees were reaching for her children, trying to seize them as they skipped about their games. They were stretching their hideous gray arms, snatching at the frail little figures, and the fields were sending up the mist to conceal them in their crime.
She knew now, she knew. Round and round whirred the chosin in her head. That was it, that was it—she could see it all now clearly—more clearly—those fields, those trees—they were infected with the venom of the Hun, they had become allies in his fiendish scheme to squeeze out the lives of her children.
Shrieking, she ran from the house,
"Beware!" she cried to the children.
"Somehow—Somehow," She Repeated
"Beware, they are after you!" and she struggled with a dead tree whose branches swayed in the wind. With startled screams, the children fled a little way, then turned to look. But nothing came. No one pursued them. Why did their mother cling to that old tree? They ventured back. They felt afraid of her and knew not why. Some neighbors, who had heard the calls across the fields, came hastening and saw her as she loosed her hold and fell.
They raised her to her feet. She stared at them and at the children whimpering in their fear, stared and knew nothing till she saw the trees and then the light of vengeance lit her face—the only light her mind was doomed to know—and through her hate-clenched teeth the warning came, the words of not forgetting, the grim chant she muttered through the years to come, "N'oublions pas—n'oublions jamais."
WHEELS TURNING IN BELGIUM
Minor Industries Have Resumed Operation, but All Embarrassed by Lack of Fuel.
Most of the minor Industries in Belgium are said to have resumed operation, although all have been more or less embarrassed by the lack of fuel and the uncertainty of delivery of raw materials. There is no lack of sugar in Belgium, and a surplus is available for export. Nearly all the sugar mills were kept in operation by the Germans throughout the war.
To avert labor disturbances, the government has taken an active part in disputes between the workers and employers with gratifying results. While wages have increased in most industries at least 100 per cent, and in some instances considerably more, they have not kept pace with the increase in the cost of living. Labor union leaders have been generally disposed to adopt conciliatory methods where possible, and the government has been able to force arbitration in nearly all cases where trouble has arisen.

HATS FOR SUNNY CLIMES
S
COLORADO STATESMAN
The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West
The tailored suit is about the most adaptable piece of property in the wardrobe; at home in any clime and rarely out of place in any gathering. Clever women understand how the addition of the right accessories make it fit in with almost any sort of background and this is valuable knowledge for the woman who travels.
A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.
A suit that is to do duty anywhere should be made of any of the all-year-round woolen goods, as serge, gabardine, Polret twill, broadcloth and the like. If it is simply and smartly made so much the better—it lends itself readily to different furbishings and matches up with them. For mild climates and warm weather lace collar and cuff sets add daintiness and richness to the tailored coat.
Collar and cuff sets of fur stand ready to fortify the same suit that has rejoiced in the company of lace, when its owner makes an excursion into the cold. These are tacked on and can be easily put on or off. Two sets appear in the picture above each designed to suit the style of the coat with which it is worn. The suit at the left, minus the fur collar and cuffs, proves to be interesting. It has some-

Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women.
An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens.
Resort hats, which make their appearance in the early winter, bring to our eyes the utmost in the art of the milliner. Every knowing woman who journeys to sunny climes to get away from the cold seems to make up her mind to own the very best millinery that she can get and resolves that, in the matter of headwear, comparison shall not be odious to her. And there is plenty of chance for comparisons, for the throng of people heading south increases every year.
TWODOLLARSAYEAR
All sorts of hats are prepared in advance for these tourists and, taking them by and large, the street hat, otherwise known as the tailored hat, is the most important member of the distinguished company.
A group of pretty hats for sunny climes shown above include three beauties. At the top a dress hat of geogette crepe has many a prototype in all the light and lovely colors that gladden the season. It has a wide and graceful brim and a round crown covered with blossoms of the cosmos flower in velvet. Its owner will rejoice in it, knowing that it is a perfect b'. of millinery.

thing new in the way of designing to offer with its sloped panel at the front of the coat and the flat straps that are set over the underarm seams. Lest they be overlooked a row of buttons calls attention to them and these' buttons, according to the present demand, match the suit in color. The coat buttons up to the neck and there are pockets at each side under the sloping panel. This panel is bound with a narrow braid. The skirt is also an example of clever designing. It appears quite narrow but an inverted plait at each side conceals its real width while it is comfortable for walking. The fur set is of the skunk pelt, but fox or any of the long-haired skins would answer as well.
The very plain and elegant suit at the right of broadcloth has a long coat, rounded at the front with curved, inset pockets. These are bound with braid and finished with arrowheads. This coat slopes downward toward the back while the coat in the suit at the left shows the back extended abruptly and considerably longer than the front. For this suit the shawl collar and deep cuffs are of sealskin. Beaver, squirrel and other short-haired furs are used in the same way,

braid. An old-time flower wreath of small garden roses and white daisies with their foliage wunders round the crown and falls over the back of the brim. In vain the millionalress will undertake to find a more perfect example of the milliner's art. The description of these hats may make them seem simple but the choice and combination of colors in them, the perfect shapes and faultless craftsmanship bespeak great artists.
The remaining hat is a semidress affair with an odd crown of straw braid and a curved, droopy brim. The top crown overhangs the side crown at a saucy angle. A sash of wide velvet ribbon encircles it and a single end falls from the back. Against the ribbon small metallic roses are set in foliage embroidered in chenille on the velvet. These and daisies made of ribbon alternate about the crown.
Where do all the beautiful hats go? Well, many of them go to resorts where they enjoy a glorious if brief career in summer lands.
