Circulation 1600----Guaranteed three times that of any competitor PRESS BUREAU NOTES VOL. XVIII PRESS BUR It is now an established fact that there are two schools of thought within the Negro American race of this country. The lines have been clearly drawn and men and women within the race have taken their positions respecting the questions which affect the life and destiny of their people. Both of these schools of thought claim to be tending toward the same American ideal. One of these schools of thought is represented by Dr. DuBois, whose principles are most clearly stated by the Niagara Movement, the other is represented by Dr. Washington, whose views are set forth in the addresses by him as president of the Negro Business League. Conspicuous in point of effectiveness in the ranks of the two schools of thinkers are some of our ablest women. As the highest types of those who stand for the ideals of Dr. DuBois we name Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook and Miss Maude A. Trotter. With Dr. Washington's school of thinkers we name Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Mrs. Cook, who for many years in public and private life was one of the leading women of West Virginia, later the close friend of Miss Susan B. Anthony, from whom she got much of her inspiration, is to-day our greatest public speaker among our women, has the highest intellect, the broadest grasp of questions affecting mankind and the --- DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, NOV. 23, 1906. strongest personality of the women in our race. Her influence is exercised and felt in that quiet, unostentatious manner which the great souls of the world admire. She is a teacher, and a teacher of rare ability, and uses her God-given talents, her inspiring personality and great strength in the effort to realize the American ideal; for the shaping of a racial destiny worthy of the fathers. Miss Maude A. Trotter, the city editor of the Boston Guardian, is the strongest and bravest, the most self-sacrificing and modest our race has the honor to claim. She is our ablest writer among our women and hers is the spirit and genius which makes the Guardian one of our newsiest papers, as the spirit of her brother as its editor makes it one of the most powerful organs we have. No young woman has brought more to her task and remained at it more uncomplainingly than Miss Trotter and when we write the history of the battles of the race in the future hers will be a name with brightest lustre. Mrs. Cook and Miss Trotter have chosen the crown of thorns that the future generations may have life and liberty. They are guided by the bright, alluring star of duty, neither hesitates, neither fears. To them coffers of gold, without liberty full and complete, are nothing. "All mortals who would follow me love virtue; she alone is free." is their motto. State Historian ural History TATES TESM OV. 23, 1906. ADO, FRIDAY, NOV. 23, 1906. They are moving on toward the unit God. In the other school of thought are Mrs. Terrell and Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Williams has the acutest intellect of any woman in the race bupt lacks the strength and range possessed by Mrs. Cook. She writes keenly but lacks the courage shown by Miss Trotter. But she ably defends her position, and the chief exponent of the school which believes in the material foundation first. She maintains, and ably, too, that her school of thought is moving on toward the ideal which was the dream of the early fathers. She has chosen her part and, master as she is of pen and tongue, defends her position with all the power and force of misdirected genius. Mrs. Terrell, public lecturer and speaker, writer, teacher, thinker and defender of the school of thought with which she has taken her part, is our most aggressive spirit among our women, is endowed with courage which never wavers and possesses the keenest political power. She wins where others fail, where others would not dare to tread. The end is what she seeks, and in her effort to attain unto it she brings to her work an almost resistless energy. She has cast her lot. Mrs. Terrell and Mrs. Williams have chosen their part; they are moving on to a destiny which they say is God. We have given you this picture to show that the future lies very largely in the result of the views held by our women. We have shown you their creeds and we ask which have chosen the better part? Independent of this group mentioned above is Dr. A. V. Gray, the proprietor of the Fountain Pharmacy, the leading drug store of the country operated by colored people. She is a woman of rare artistic gifts and social graces and is one of our most brilliant women. The S. Coleridge Taylor Society, one of the best musical organizations in the country, was made so and sustained in large part by Mr. A. S. Gray and his wife Mrs. A. V. Gray. Mrs. Gray has contributed much to the race by her example of business life. She repudiates the "fallacy of the nearer evil" and strikes out with all the forces for a common good. She takes --- --- 7:10 MAN NO. 20 the good in each and utilizes for a common good all of the energies round about her. The result we need not state. We are proud of the Fountain Pharmacy; it denotes and proves what the race can do in that field of endeavor Dr. Gray is a noble and gifted woman whose life has been "as gentle as the morning and as sweet as summer" ever lighting the lives of others with visions of the beautiful and the good. Last week we stated that we would give some quotations from the sayings of Chancellor, superintendent of the public schools of the District of Columbia. We are compelled to postpone the publishing of these sayings but will comment upon the trip of this man to the South to study educational methods for the Negro schools. Dr. Chancellor need not go South to study anything for the Negro. The Negro of the Capital wants and is of right entitled to all that is given the whites, no more, no less. This trip means, in short, that industrial education is to be forced down the Negro's throat, here at the Capital. Chancellor, however much he may try to show to the contrary, indicates by this trip that he means, with the sanction of the school board, to fasten an industrial system upon the colored people, while maintaining the present standard for the whites. This is manifestly unjust and, we think, illegal. Beyond the question of the inherent injustice of the proposed plan, however, it is inexpedient and impracticable, because the environment does not warrant industrialization. Superintendent Chancellor may feel that the colored schools need special attention, but he can hardly get any information which will be of use to him in those states which give less than $3 per capita per year for the education of the Negro youth. When Superintendent Chancellor came to Washington he was heralded as a great educator who needed no suggestions from anybody; now he goes into the old slave states for ideas for the advanced schools of the Capital. Such a step is an insult to every honest citizen in the District of --- ```markdown ``` NO. 20 Continued on page four. GREAT FALLS, MONTANA.

Thanks; come again soon. A Language Lesson. Beautiful is an adjective applied chiefly to brides, heroines of novels and ladies in distress, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The word is derived from the French word 'beaut," meaning a corker, a peach, a lallapaloosa. It is employed principally by society editors, novelists, newspaper reporters and poets, and holds its age and shape well in spite of constant activity and overwork. The only novelist who never used the word was Rhoda Broughton. Her heroine Belinda was green-eyed, freckled and cantankerous, and is the only unbeautiful heroine on record, just as the Count in Wilkie Collins' "The Woman in White" is the only fat villain. The only poet who has never used it is Swinburns. He always compares his heroines to serpents, they are so wise and sinuous. The society editor or newspaper reporter who has never worked it to a silvery edge does not live, contrary to the rules of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Inoffensive Adjectives. One of the deepest mysteries of modern life is, since every bride is beautiful, how does it come that there are so many ugly married women? --- J.W. Jackson Manager.

One of the features of Zion's anniversary entertainments was the new and original stereopticon and moving picture exhibit given on Thursday evening by Mr. T. W. Wait. The selection and variety of pictures exhibited were unique and well executed and ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous, affording instruction and amusement for the large and appreciative audience. Mr. Wait's Biblical pictures were rich in coloring, perfect in feature and setting and true to the lessons designed to be taught. They received the unstinted praise of the connoisseurs of art critics. One of the enterprising features of the exhibit was the throwing upon the canvass the professional cards and places of business of Denver's up-to-date citizens, thus combining a display of progress with entertainment. Mr. Wait is to be congratulated in pleasing the public with the first presentation of his exhibit, and it goes without saying that he will improve it as time goes on. Zion's anniversary came to an end last Sunday with a full day of religious services, Chaplain Gladden preaching THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. in the morning, a platform meeting in the afternoon and preaching by the pastor at night.

A dear son of New England having plied a newcomer in the milling region of Nevada with every conceivable question as to why he visited the gold region, and hopes, means, prospects, etc., finally asked him if he had a family. "Yes," was the reply, "I have a wife and six children, and I never saw one of them." After a brief silence the bore commenced: "Were you ever blind, sir?" Another pause. "Did I understand you to say that you had a wife and six children living in New York, and had never seen one of them?" "Fact." "How can that be?" "Why," was the reply, "one of them was born after I left." C. D. FORD, Register. First publication October 5, 1906. Last publication December 7, 1906.

He champions the abolition of afternoon classes and the wiping out of all home study. FRIENDS ALL INSURED. Denver, Colo., Nov. 10, 1906.

Mr. and Mrs. Booker moved into their neat little cottage on Washington avenue this week. Miss Novella Patton is contemplating a trip home in the near future.

Other notable entertainers are heavily insured also. Mme. Patti was one of the originators of this kind of insurance. Her voice—the most intangible of subjects—is insured for $5,000, at a premium of $125 for each performance. Paderewski's hands are underwritten for $50,000 and for each of his concerts a temporary policy of $7,500 is taken out. Josef Hofmann goes even farther and sets a price of $500 on each finger of both hands. As a precaution against accident preventing his performance, Kubelik's right hand is insured for $10,000 for each concert and for $50,000 against total disablement. Fence Sixty-three Miles Long. One of the longest fences in the northwest is being constructed around the Lower Brule Indian reservation, on the Missouri river, in the central portion of South Dakota. This remarkable fence will be sixty-three miles long. It is composed of four wires placed on posts set a rod apart, cedar and ash posts alternating. In its construction 250 miles of wire will be used, or 76,000 pounds. To erect the fence required an aggregate of 19,000 posts. In this long fence there will be only three gateways, which will be guarded when the fence is completed. Salmon Are Scarce. On account of the depressed condition of the salmon market, many canneries in Alaska will not be operated this year. Other packing companies will go farther north, where they will catch less pink and get more red salmon. Reds are now selling at $1.25 on the coast, while pinks are very low, the minimum quotations being 50 cents. This is below the cost of production and there is no profit for those companies the bulk of whose packs are pinks. The cause of the unfavorable condition of the market is overproduction primarily. An effort has been made to maintain prices, but without avail. THE LADIES OF ST.

"Not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others." PRESS BUREAU NOTES Continued from first page. On Friday of last week Dr. W. S. Montgomery, assistant superintendent of the colored schools of the District of Columbia, was tendered a testimonial by the colored teachers. Miss Julia Brooks, Miss Mamie Burrell and Mr. Nathaniel Guy recited. Prof. John T. Leighton and Mr. J. Gerald Taylor sang solos. The testimonial consisted of a silver service of five pieces, and Dr. Montgomery was so touched when it was made that he tearfully thanked the teachers and sat down. When Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkield was elected president of Howard University we did not feel that the right man had been chosen. But after hearing his speech before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association last Tuesday evening, we changed our opinion and in the future will stand with him through all his works. His heart is right and his soul is on fire with an unquenchable desire for justice and the righting of the wrongs done the weak and oppressed of all the earth. He is broad enough to see the good in all men and tell who stands for the highest and best to be attained. In such a man we glory, and for such a man we will work that his efforts in the right may not be in vain. P. S. TWISTER. THE PROMPTEST COMPANY.

It will work under the Texas jurisdiction. Mrs. Lilly La Buef, the well-known elocutionist, gave a grand recital last Tuesday evening to a crowded house at the A. M. E. church. Mrs. La Buef was assisted by a nicely-arranged program, which was prepared for the occasion, and seldom has the Albuquerque people been treated to such a royal entertainment. Mrs. La Buef was at her best and held the attention of the large crowd during the entire evening by her choice selections and well-trained voice. The people were well pleased, and hope for a return engagement. Fred Wiley, an assistant boilermaker, arrived in our city last Saturday. He expects to find employment at the Santa Fe shops. There is plenty of work in the city at this time, and there is no need of any colored hoodlums walking the streets claiming they want work, but can't find it. The American Saw Mill Company, Trimble's Transfer Company and the Santa Fe Railroad Company all employ colored labor. The Afro-American League of Albuquerque met last Friday evening and drew up suitable resolutions in honor of their deceased brother, Sergeant George Harrison, who died last week at the Soldiers' hospital at Fort Bayard, New Mexico. Caught Alligator With a Fishline. While deer, duck and quail shooting have been better this season in the neighborhood of Titusville than in several years, Rockledge, Stuart and a few other places seem to have the expert fishermen. But it takes a Merritt fisherman to catch alligators. We are told that a few days ago a seven-foot alligator was caught with a fishline. The line was set and baited with a mullet, for trout. The alligator took the bait and the hook fastened itself in his throat. Had the line been a rope or chain it would have been twisted apart or the hook torn out. The alligator tired himself out and was easily taken by slipping a rope over his nose, securing his flippers, and towing him ashore, where he was killed with an axe.—East Coast Advocate (Titusville, Fla.). Life's "Scarecrows." And so he went to work, and soon A pretty home had made. And by and by his charming mate Four cunning eggs had laid; And from that happy nest one day Six gleeful birds flew far away. But ere they went, the old bird said, "My children, all through life Remember what you think of this Or that brings peace or strife; And even scarecrows joy may bring If one knows how to view a thing." —Nixon Waterman, in Woman's Home Companion.

Peace and Prosperity The appointment of W. J. Baker on the police force coming so soon after the appointment of Robert Russ on the fire department, thereby increasing the representation we have on the one 50 per cent. and on the other 25 per cent., makes us pause to call attention to the manner in which the Speer administration has treated the colored people. It has so long been the accepted belief that worst that could be was better than Democrats were willing to give us; that we are usually biased in our consideration of officials of that party. We are slow to give them the credit that is their due. Therefore, it is with pleasure that The Statesman calls attention to these two appointments. Both come under the provisions of civil service, but the friendliness of the administration is none the less evident for it controls civil service. Chief of Police Delaney is entitled to credit second to the mayor and board of fire and police for the first named appointee and it will be to his good offices that the only other colored man to pass the examination will owe his appointment if he is named for the police force. This treatment of colored people is in line with the action of the administration at the time when complaint was made that the dragnet system then in vogue was working a hardship on our people. A quick relief was granted from the system, and since that time there has been practically no complaint of persecution from our people, certainly no more than is usually made against every city police department The fairness of Chief Delaney has been such that no longer is the color question even thought of when the arm of the law descends upon a culprit. We were about to add that if these two would only turn Republican, we could give them a clear record. However, it can be said in their behalf that there is a strong rumor that they gave some aid and comfort to the Republican ticket in the last election. We congratulate the city of Denver and its colored citisens upon two such officials as the mayor and his chief of police. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Shakespeare makes one of his characters say that it is better to deserve success than to merely have success. So, in the incident of Roosevelt and the colored soldiers; we have not succeeded in getting a reconsideration, but the soldiers by their deportment under the injustice and the race by the manly, intelligent way it set about getting justice for them, have won the admiration of those who love right. An incident which brought into full play all the prejudice which exists in this country has at the same time raised a legion of friends. The criticism that has overtaken Roosevelt, the idol of the nation, because of a few black soldiers, shows fully that justice is not entirely dormant, but is arousing herself. Senator Foraker has won the admiration of Negroes by his stand, many other statesmen have done good work, and the whole situation, black as it is, has shown that upon us rests the issue. We can command the indorsement of honest men if we will deserve it. Whatever others may think, The Statesman feels that this year is a real year of thanksgiving for Negroes. We have won our first great moral victory. We can live through this piece of petty proscription of Roosevelt's as we have through all that have embittered the years that are gone. But a sweeter vision never crossed our dreams than the tremendous uprising of sentiment for our persecuted soldier boys. Let us thank God fervently and keep on. The Ripening Years. In spite of all that poets sing About our childhood's happy hours It seems to me that ev'ry spring Brings greener fields and sweeter flowers. The foliage upon the trees Seems greener as it reappears; There's something in the very breeze That grows more sacred with the years. Somehow with each succeeding June New lusters come into the sky; Some subtle chord in nature's tune Sounds sweeter as the years roll by. —W. H. Wilson, in Four Track News. London Birth Rate Declines.

There were 50,000 in the block and a second lot is now offered, and though the price has been raised to ly cents, 20,000 are already bar- gained for. This is a good company for the investor to keep watch on and a better one to put his money in. Preparations for the grand time to be held at Shorter church Sunday con- tinue unabated, It will be the great- est in the history of the church if the pastor and officers are successful in their aims. A rally that is a rally is the ery. The new board will be in full charge and mean to make their first step a grand one. The new trustees are U. G. Brown, Harrison Smith, Jesse Thrower, F. Fugitt, F. M. Lind- sey, Henry Roundtree, George Derry, William Walton, John Simonton. In connection with the Thanksgiving din- os there will be an apron sale by the ladies of the Sewing Circle, Last week Dr. S. L. Raines received the sad news of the death of his brother, Dr. C, W. Raines’ wife who resides in Clarksville, Mississippi. Next Sunday will be quarterly meet- ing at Ward church. The pastor is away but the work will be superinten- ded by able ministers, among them the general missionary, Rev. J. W. San- ders, Rev. Sanders has about com- pleted the preliminary work of getting on foot the missionary project to which he was assigned at the last con- ference, of raising $10,000 for the aid of struggling churches of his connec- tion, for the projecting of the mis- sionary effort into new fields and for the pensioning of aged ministers, He has recommendations of esteem and ability from Governor McDonald, Gov- ernor Buchtel, Rey. Coyle, the J. F. Brown Investment Company, the gov- ernor of Arizona, and others, to place him properly before the charitably in- clined people. The effort is in line with that of colleges to secure endow: ment #0 that the purpose of the or ganization wil! not have to be foregone for lack of financial support. Being ‘one of the old ministers of the Colo- rado conference It seems probable that Rey. Sanders will be able to carry out his project because of his intimate knowledge of the needs of the church in this section and his ability to make this plain to moneyed people.
