Masons' Picnic BLOOMFIELD PARK July 2 EIGHTEENTH YEAR. Mason DESTINY OF THE RACE (By Miss Anna Newman.) Many things have been said and written regarding the "Destiny of the Negro." The eyes of the people of the entire civilized world have watched the progress of our race, especially since their freedom. I will ask my listeners to follow me while I give you a short sketch of the origin of the Negro race: Taken from the Spanish and Italian—Negro means "black;" from the Latin "Niger" which also gives its meaning as black. The negro domain originally comprised all Africa south of the Sahara, India south of the Gangentic plains and the greater part of Australia, but this domain has since pre-historic times been intruded upon by different races of men. Practically, however, the whole of Africa south of the Sahara must be taken as the original habitation of the race, in which country these people are still to be found in great numbers although rarely free from foreign intermixture. The name "Negro" is given to a considerable branch of the human family possessing certain physical characteristics which distinguish them in a marked degree from the other branches or varieties of mankind. Both the scientists, Dr. Prichard and Dr. Lathan, strongly protest against the common error of considering the word "Negro" as meaning "African," but state that this means a distinction as to the Negro area. The world as occupied by men of the black skin, thick lips, depressed noses and wooly hair is extremely small. Without going into further details, I will state that scientists claim that the dark complexion is the exception rather than the rule. The characteristic, so called "Negro skull"—solid and thick—according to eminent scientists shows an angle of seventy degrees as compared with the white skull of eighty degrees. Dr. Prichard says "I have carefully examined the foramina magnum in the Negro skull. The difference in all instances, both black and white, is extremely slight and grows perceptibly less as the Negro race gains the --- DENVER. COLO., FRIDAY JUNE 28, 1907. State Historian & Nural History Soci THE S DENVER, COLO., FI same advantages and improvements of education." All tribes of Negroes appear to be passionately fond of music. Even the most savage, with no education nor teaching of any description, show marked skill in the manufacture of musical instruments and express their hopes and fears in extemporaneous songs. They believe in idols of wood and stone and worship good and evil spirits and all of them—even the most barbarous—have some idea of a Supreme Being. These are savages and not educated Negroes. I will now speak of the advancement of the Negro since slavery, which we are told first begun in 1503, in the West Indies when the Portugese and even the English dealt in slaves. The trade flourished as late as the year 1807 in England. Slavery existed in the United States two hundred and forty-four years. Of course there is a marked difference between the twenty savages brought to this country and the educated Afro-American of today. Since slavery the population has rapidly increased and the brain power of the Negro has developed as rapidly as the population, regardless of the many sneering comments of our noted white writers who, if not actual enemies of the race are greatly prejudiced against us, will not allow that it is the original blood and brain which develops as the race advances, but tell us that it is due to the mixed blood. This, I wish to contradict. Gov. Vardaman, in his article of April 27th, 1907, states that the Negro brain, after a certain age, does not develop any further. He says there is a small difference between the children of the black and white races. That it is no uncommon thing to see a negro child that is exceedingly bright learning with ease but that nature seems to have said "thus far shalt thou learn and no further;" that development beyond a certain point seems to be absolutely forbidden by the physical structure of his skull. By a few examples we shall see that this statement is entirely false. Some of our staple men and women of sterling worth are: W. S. Scarboro, Fannie J. Choppin, D. A. (Continued on page 2.)

TITLES OF NO USE IN BUSINESS Foreigners in America Soon Learn to Assume Plebeian Names. "Apropos of the society woman who recently eloped with a European nobleman concealed by fate as a riding master," said a German baron, whose New York name is plain Mr. Smith, "you have no idea what a drawback a title is in business in this country, and what trouble the owner has to go to conceal it. They talk about Americans worshiping titles. It is certainly not the case in the business world. For altogether justifiable reasons, perhaps, your Yankee newspapers and fiction writers are accustomed to describe the European nobleman, whatever his fatherland, as spineless, dissipated, and generally no good. This creates a prejudice which the titled foreigner immediately becomes acquainted with when he comes here for the purpose of making a living. "I had been but three days in New York when I learned to discard the honored name I was born to. During those three days, although an expert engineer with a special field, I could obtain work nowhere. On the fourth day I became Mr. Carl Smith and got a job. It's all nonsense to say that the representative American worships titles. He doesn't. Plain Carl Smith has better chances any day than the foreigner with three hinges to his name."—N. Y. Press. Mark Twain on Etiquette. "Mark Twain" at a dinner in New York talked on etiquette. "I once read a book of etiquette," he said, "and I still remember many of the rules. The most important rules were these: "How to accept a proffered cigar—Slip the right hand into the box, draw forth two, place one absently in the upper pocket of the vest, insert the other between the lips and look inquiringly around for a light. "How to leave a room properly Open the door, place one foot over the sill, follow it up closely with the other and then, turning slightly, shut the L, D. Richey, Proprietor.

Copper Exported te China. More than 22,000 tons of copper have been exported to China from America this year. The unusual quan tity has excited attention. and in- quiries of the trade have elicited two explanations. One is that a new coinage {is necessary in China, because the old has been gradually melted down for the manufacture of cartridges. The other is that the process of smelting the metal is so imperfect tbat the smelted copper contains small quan titles of gold, and this the astute Chi nese contrive to extract.

THE LONGER WAY ROUND. Scientist's Comparison in Condemning New System of Pumping. Sir William Ramsay visited Philadelphia recently with the Society of Chemical Industry, and during his visit a reporter questioned him about the drinking water of the world's great cities. "London's drinking water is most impure," the scientist said. "They hold that the English take more baths than any other nation, but it is nevertheless a fact that you Philadelphiaans, when your filtration plants shall be completed, will have a larger water supply than London, notwithstanding the big difference in the two cities' populations." The reporter explained a new system for pumping water. "What do you think of that system, Sir William?" he concluded. "I think it is a slow, roundabout and awkward way of remedying impure water's evils," said the scientist. "It reminds me of the way a parlor maid of mine once tried to remedy the evil of a wrongly set table. "This maid was left-handed, and in laying the cloth for a certain party she put the knives on the left of the plates and the forks on the right. All wrong, you see. "The housekeeper, coming in to look the table over, noticed the error at once. "'Why, Harriet,' she said, 'you have placed all the knives and forks left handed.' "'Ah, so I have,' sighed Harriet. 'Would you be kind enough now, ma'am, to help me turn the table?' A Need of the Hour. "It seems to me," said his friend, "that your college ought to establish a chair of gambling." "A chair of what?" said the professor. "Gambling. It is the great occupation of many if not most of us, and the average college graduate is apt to take it up in some form or other in spite of all the warning he may receive. Therefore, why not train him to follow it with skill and success? Why not have, say, lectures on how to play poker, on how to play the races, on how to speculate in stocks, and so on? If you could have these subjects properly handled you might turn out a corps of experts who would cover their alma mater with glory and reap a golden harvest for themselves." "But, supposing the movement to be a success, it would simply ruin the public." "Well, I judge that's what the public is for. It is simply a question of who gets the money." Did Well to Conceal Identity. A short-sighted sportsman was asked one morning by a fellow sojourner in a small hotel on the shores of Loch Carron, in Scotland, what sport he had had. "Just seen a seal," he said; "shot at it three times and missed it each time." At dinner, an hour later, he sat next to a man with a bandage round his head. "Accident?" he inquired. "Accident!" was the indignant response; "attempted murder, you mean. I was having a bath about an hour ago when some lunatic fired at me three times from the shore and shot part of my ear off." "Wonder who it could have been," murmured the sportsman, and changed the conversation. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. HAS GOLD MINE IN IRELAND. Lies in County Donegal and Rock Rich in Various Minerals. Not long ago the known globe, but especially that part of it known as Ireland, was thrilled that on Irish soil a gold mine had been discovered. Nothing afterward was heard of it for a long time and many may have classed the new along with those discoveries of perpetual motion and instantaneous spontation that are constantly being made. But now come detailed descriptions of the mine, with the assurances that it is an actuality. It lies in County Donegal and is owned by a company under the control of one Robert Johnston, Belfast timber merchant. The rock is said to be rich in all sorts of minerals, but richest of all in gold, holding as much of this metal as two ounces to the ton. This would make it one of the richest mines in the world. Machinery for working the ore has been purchased and may by now have even been installed. Work is expected to be in full swing in a few weeks time. And so Ireland has struck it rich. Sheriff Herrick and Speeches. The late Horatio G. Herrick of Lawrence for many years high sheriff of Essex county, always took a keen interest in the Lawrence schools, and was for a long time chairman of the school committee. Visiting the Saunders school soon after the death of Garfield, Sheriff Herrick spoke to the pupils of the life of the late distinguished statesman, and thus asked, genially: "Now, can any of you tell me what a statesman is?" A little hand went up, and a little girl replied: "A statesman is a man who makes speeches." "Hardly that," answered Mr. Herrick, who loved to tell this story. "For instance, I sometimes make speeches, and yet I am not a statesman." The little hand again went up, and the answer came, triumphantly: "I know; a statesman is a man who makes good speeches!"—Boston Herald. Alfred Austin on His Critica. The manager of a press clipping bureau in New York said the other day: "Not long ago I thought I would try to enlarge our business. In these prospectuses I said that our bureau read practically every publication that was issued, and that a man, by subscribing to us, could read every word about himself that ever appeared in print. "Well, we got a good many acceptances and a good many rejections. One of the latter came from the Brit Use for Automobile. Belgium is getting up an antarctic expedition with Dr. Henryk Arktowski as a member of it. Dr Arktowski thinks an automobile can be worked into the scheme. The machine would have to be built very strongly, and on a special model, to take apart when necessary, and work in very low temperatures. The theory brought forward is that except at its rough edges the ice cap of the southern pole is smooth, and that once mounted on it a machine would go flying to its destination like a racing car on a Long island road.

If a vessel propelled by steam power is called a "steamer," should a vessel in which the motive power is gas be called a "gasser"? The query is prompted by the possibility that in the not far distant future marine propulsion will be largely effected by means of explosion engines, whose fuel will be gas generated on board. For stationary purposes plants of this description have already been erected on a large scale, and more than one firm of engineers is said to be engaged in perfecting a combined plant consisting of engine and gas generator which shall be lighter and occupy less space than the present combination of steam boilers and engine, power for power. The gas used is known as producer gas, and is to all intents and purposes steam or water vapor passed through incandescent coke in a special form of furnace. The resultant gas is a combination of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and nitrogen. Utilizing the fuel in this manner is claimed to effect a very appreciable economy as compared with burning it under a boiler to generate steam. Indeed it has been estimated that one pound of fuel will thus go as far as three pounds in the latter method. This on a long voyage not only means the reduction of the coal bill, but also a corresponding increase in cargo space or passenger accommodation. It therefore behooves steamship companies to pause before adopting the steam turbine in a wholesale manner. New York Herald. PARIS A WELL LIGHTED CITY. Strange Contrast With Conditions In Most American Cities. Paris offers a strange contrast to London (and to most American cities) in the matter of street lighting. London is woefully somber at night, except at certain points where concert halls and "gin mills" are numerous, whereas Paris is brilliantly lighted everywhere. Nothing so astonishes the American visitor as the long lines of brilliant gas lamps (incandescent burners, all of which function perfectly) reaching down each and every street to sparkling perspectives of diamond strings. Do you feel disposed to shrug your shoulders and cry out that it is garish and unrestful? Please don't. It is a grand success and a joy forever. If you doubt it, come over here and see for yourselves. I have carefully observed the placement of lampposts and find that in some places there is one every twenty feet; in less favored localities, one every forty or fifty feet, while the little streets have them at intervals of about 200 feet. In the case of the poor little streets the lighting is, at the worst, admirable not to say magnificent. What does all this cost? It costs too much, from our enlightened (or unlighted) point of view. We are content to grope about in the dark streets. The Parisian abhors darkness (as he should) and is willing to pay for light, even though he may pay pretty dearly for it. Don't Healtate. Hesitation may be as great a mistake as the doing of the wrong thing. Good Men to Leave Alone. It is the quiet people who are dangerous.—La Fontaine. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The Fruit Cure. The lady of the house was giving a party, and all the invited guests being assembled, the bell was rung for dinner to be served. Bridget appeared with the first course, and began putting the dishes in place. An involuntary exclamation from one of the guests caused the mistress to look up in surprise. "Bridget," she cried, "whatever is the matter with your face?" "Don't yez takeanny notice av me, mum and ladies," said Bridget genially. "Oi'm only thyin' the shtrawberry complexion-cure Oi read about in yer society paper, mum. You rubs a shtrawberry on yer face, an' laves the jooce on for a couple av hours. Only, shtrawberries bein' now out av season. Oi used a tomartho!"—London Tit-Bits. To Write an Economic History. George P. Grimsley, formerly of Washburn college and now assistant state geologist of West Virginia, has been selected by the Carnegie institute of Washington as one of the eight contributors to a voluminous economic history of the United States. He will write on the history of petroleum and gas development in the United States, from the first discovery to the present time. Patriotic Boer Is Dead.

Law and Justice. Mr. Justice Hawkins, now Lord Brampton, once instructed a cabman to drive him to the royal courts of justice. "Rile Coorts o' Justice? Where are they?" asked the fellow. "Why," said the jurist, "don't you know the law courts?" "Oh, now ye're talkin'. Oh, yuss; I know 'em. But Coorts o' Justice—them's another thing, haltogether."—N. Y. Press. Blessings of Antiseptics.

WE SHIP ON APPROVAL without a cent deposit, Pay the Freight and allow 10 Days Free Trial and make other liberal terms which no other house in the world will do.

It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $3.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.56 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement.

Volcano Still There Workmen were driving an artesian well near Pisa, in Italy, recently when a huge column of gas rose up from the boring made in the ground, followed by an eruption of warm water, sand and mud. Frightened at this unexpected turn of events, the men ran away. Engineers came up and were investigating the phenomenon, when a workman approached with a lighted match. This ignited the escaping gas and a column of fire rose very high, which lit up the neighborhood throughout the whole night. Efforts were made without success to extinguish the fire, which continued for days, accompanied by eruptions of sand and subterranean noises. In ancient times a volcano, known as the San Giuliano, existed on a neighbor ing hill, but has long been inactive. ```markdown ``` Peculiar Marriage Ceremony. With the Jowrans of India marriage is an affair of much importance. Should the parents object to the lover's advances, his friends rally, and abduct the girl. If the consent of the parents is obtained, three posts are planted, and between them the bride and bridegroom, with their intimate friends, assemble, and proceed to get intoxicated on a peculiar toddy. The young couple sit together, and receive frequent douches of turmeric oil, from gourds in the hands of wedding guests. Presents of all kinds, to propitiate the demons, are showered upon the contracting parties, and the close of the feast finds the whole set in a state of bacchanallian bliss. After this the parties are man and wife. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. FOR RENT—Furnished room, modern, at 2121 Arapahoe St., phone Olive 1115.

(Continued from page 1.) Payne, W. A. Crogsmen, W. E. W. DuBois, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Phylliss Wheatley, Kelley Miller, Chas. Chestnut, W. T. Vermon, who is now the register of the U. S. treasurer, and greatest of all is Booker T. Washington—the son of an African slave. His brain developed enough to construct the greatest institution of learning for the race ever known, in the Southern United States, and, while the white man is loathe to believe that he is his equal, still this credit must be given to him with all justice. Here I wish to state that on May 23rd, 1907, at the graduating exercises in our city of Grand Junction, Colorado, Dr. Allysworth of Greeley, in his address to the graduates, said in part That God, Himself, had selected Roosevelt to govern this country and that he considered him one of the greatest men of the age. He said he could see the mighty personality of Christ Himself walking again on this earth and that, in his opinion, Booker T. Washington is as great a man as Roosevelt. Since the close of the war the population in the United States is 10,000,000. They own farm lands valued at $300,000,000, church properties at $29,000,000, besides owning beautiful homes in the cities. The Negro has entered into all the professions and employments common to white citizens and is filling them, in nearly all cases, creditably and acceptably. Now let us see what are some of the special things we have done for ourselves. The Negro has accepted help but he has also evidenced a willingness to help himself. As a result of this, we have over 35,000 pupils in the schools of the South besides thousands in the middle and northern states, and over 1,000 students in European colleges. From the result of this, illiteracy has been reduced within the past thirty years from 86 per cent. to 49 per cent. We have sixty institutions of higher learning that are under the immediate control of the Negro—some of them founded by our efforts. More than 3,000 members of the race have taken collegiate degrees, more than 300 being from the colleges of the N. and W. The last census shows that the race has over 16,000 ministers, 1,000 doctors, 1,000 lawyers, 21,000 carpenters, 20,000 barbers, 15,000 masons, 12,000 dressmakers, 1,00 engineers and firemen, 5,000 shoemakers, 4,000 musicians and 2,000 actors and showmen. Colored inventors have taken out more than 400 patents. This last census shows that the race pays taxes on over $400,000,000 worth of property. This shows to you what the Negro with the "child's brain" has accomplished in the first forty years of his freedom. While all this has been done, the Negro must still do more. While many, many have advanced and are still advancing, there are thousands of the race that are in utter darkness and, regardless of the argued fact that the Negro's brain can- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO not be developed, we must still educate ourselves and advance. Our destiny will be what we make it. The fact that the negro has advanced so rapidly in a country that is the equal of any civilized race on earth, under such disadvantages as we have had to contend with, shows that it is not lack of brain power but lack of opportunity that keeps us handicapped as we are. But for all we will rise—we must rise. But now we can say that genius, religion, art, science and patience will all unite their powers to assist and aid in the uplifting of the Negro race. Wrongdoing in our fellow man—however humble, creates a debt that draws big interest and must be paid by somebody sooner or later. Our foreparents paid the debt in part and we are still paying and will continue to pay until our race grows so strong that we will overcome the disadvantages under which we have labored since brought to this country and in time to come we will be destined to hold our own as a respected, honorable race of people. The race must learn to stick together as a race. Our destiny should be the highest rung of the ladder and we will not reach that rung only by hard struggle, many rebuffs and everlasting patience. But we as a race will win with a long pull, a strong pull an a pull all together. As I look down the coming ages—far as we can see we will notice the same brain development, the same reaching after higher ideals. In one hundred years from now we will have a people who as a race will be educated, refined and cultured. They will stand out in a clear light of a better day, having won on the field of intellectual action every right and privilege accorded to any other race. Let each of us in our way make every effort to bring this about for it is said, "Honor and fame from no condition rise; act well they part—here all the honor lies." EVILS AND BENEFITS OF WOMEN'S CLUBS. Clubs are by no means of recent origin, but Plutarch of Rome and Aristotle of Greece tell us of various clubs organized for religious, social or political purposes. Even in those ancient days these were not the exclusive privilege of the male sex. Women were united in similar associations. Whilst their objects were not generally edifying they showed that their minds were not satisfied to remain in an ignorant or enslaved condition but were grasping for higher things. We, the women of today, are striving to improve what they began. We are not content to be merely toys or slaves, a thing to be petter, scolded or scorned according to man's caprice. But we desire to be what God intended, a helpmate and companion to him who professes to love us. Hence we organize the various kinds of clubs. We will admit that all our clubs do not accomplish good. First there is gossip. (Gossip is an evil anywhere. (Continued on page 3) The brand that's always good" Baxte BULLH 5 CENT C Baxter's ULLHEA 5 CENT CIGAR ter's HEAD T CIGAR Denver.

EVILS OF WOMEN'S CLUB &C [Conrinued from page 2] If we can say nothing good of our sister let us not mention her. I have heard objections to the women's political clubs. Since I have met so few women who are interested in politics, I shall leave the point by saying man in his superior wisdom put woman into politics and now if he is not satisfied with his work let him take her out if he can. Last but not least is the neglect of the home. A married woman's first duty is to her God and then her home. Anything that causes her to neglect these is an evil. Before the club work must come a clean house, the husband's meals, and the children neat and off for school. I do not think that women should put in all their time at home. Even the paid servants have one afternoon off each week. Why should not the wife and mother? I do contend that no woman should belong to so many clubs that every afternoon and most of the evenings are spent outside the home. Let us be temperate in all things. Now for a glance at the bright side of club life. Many of us are compelled to leave school early while others quit from choice, but in after years realize the need of a learning. Is it wrong for these to organize themselves into one body and study literature? It is necessary for the woman who has spent twelve years in school to become so wrapped up in husband and children that she can not read Longfellow or Tennyson? Is not the woman who struggles to become intellectual the better able to rear good citizens? You must answer yes. Then let us organize more literary clubs so that when we meet we can spend more time discussing the life and character of such people as Daniel Deronda, Elsie Vener, Enoch Arden, and the Lady of the Lake. On the latest magazine article and the newest books instead of the short comings of Miss So and So. Then we have the art clubs where a number may be instructed in the different kinds of needle work for the same price one must pay if being instructed alone. Thus we learn to beautify and add a touch of refinement to the home instead of the gaudy coloring of other days. Then, too, we are taught to make and trim our own and the children's clothing by drawing a few threads and adding one or two more stitches. "Meek and lowly, pure and holy, Chief among the blessed three; Turning sadness into gladness, Heaven born art thou, Charity." What would we do without our charitable organizations? And what would become of them without the women? Charity, that heaven born spirit that enables us to seek the need and lend a helping hand. The poet has well said that Pity dwelleth in the bosom, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Gentle thoughts alone can sway thee, Judgment hath in thee no part. If women's clubs accomplish no other good they should be tolerated for sweet charity's sake. Therefore let us be encouraged and strive to overcome our faults so that all may say God bless the women's clubs. ON TO TOPEKA. St. Joseph, Mo., May 28, 1907.

JAPS BUILD BRIDGE QUICKLY. Correspondent With Army Describes Method of Their Work. Near the camp of the correspondents I watched the pioneer company erect a bridge some 250 feet long and seven feet above the water at the center. There was no apparent hurry or bustle, no shouting of orders, no wrangling, no noise. The battalion worked like a silent, well-olled machine, and it took just four days from the time the men entered the sacred pine forest of deceased Chinese ancestors and began to fell the trees until the last plank was laid, the guard rails placed and the bridge ready for traffic. The largest timber used was about eight inches in diameter. Axes played a very little part and broad, one-man Chinese saws and a linked or sectional folding cross-cut saw took their places. The two-man folding saw is particularly interesting, consisting, as it does, of six-inch lengths of thin spring steel, half an inch wide, linked or flexibly riveted, end on end. The saw-teeth are the same size and set as in the ordinary cross-cut saw. By girding a tree with this saw and grasping a handle in each hand, one man can actually cut down a tree, but usually it is used by two men. In one day all the piles, cross timbers and brace ties were cut in this forest.—Leslie's Weekly.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M.

ELEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OBBORTUNITY, Doon The Eleventh Annual Session of the Western Negro Press Association will meet at Topeka, Kansas, Monday and Tuesday, August. 12th and 13th, 1907. To the Press: Pursuant to the regular appoint- ment under the provisions of the Con- stitution, the Western Negro Press Association of the United States, is hereby called to convene at Topeka, Kansas, in its Eleventh Annual Ses- sion, Monday and Tuesday, August 12th and 13th, 1907. All proprietors, editors, managers, reporters and correspondents west of the Mississippi river are eligible to membership in the Association and ure urged to be there. We cordially extend an invitation to members of the fraternity throuh- out the country to meet with us in Topeka, Kas., to consider those ques- tions so vital to the welfare of the race of this country. Recent developments, such as the Brownsville affair, Tillman's lectures against us, The Clansman by Dixon, and the publication of books and mag- azine articles with the avowed pur- pose of creating sentiment against us, show the need of action on the part of intelligent and thoughtful mem- bers of the race, and the press must undoubtedly take the lead. We would again urge upon every paper and its entire staff! to make this meeting a personal matter, in order to secure a large and enthus- jastic gathering. The executive committee:—Nick Chiles of Topeka, Kas., chairman; W. H. Twine, corresponding secretary of Muskogee, I. T., will apprise all west- ern railroads of the convention and will request them to extend courtesies to the members and publishers of the craft, W. H. DUNCAN, President. PUEBLO NOTES.
