FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society AMERICAN COMMISSIONERS REACH NEGRO REPUBLIC TWENTIETH YEAR AMERICAN REA EXTRACTS OF LETTER FROM LIBERIA. Monrovia, Liberia, W. A., May 10. 1909. Dear Bruce: It is Sunday, May 10th, and I have not yet gotten your letter off on account of my fears of this P. O. I shall send it by the hand of a lady who is going to London, and she will mail to you from there. Yesterday morning early the Gunboat Chester arrived in port. In the afternoon about 3 p. m. the American Commissioners came ashore. They were met by the acting Mayor Dennis, who hates "Afro-Americans." He read them an address of welcome. They landed at the Customs wharf, then went a little way up the road, where the ladies had erected a hoop arch representing Montserado county, where they listened to another address; then a little way and another arch representing Grand Bassa; then Lower Sinoe and Cape Palmas; thence to the American Legation, where they rested. The guard of honor was composed of two squadrons made up of the New Port cadets, named after Matilda New Port, and the militia, with a band of five instruments. Affter resting on the legation porch for several hours they returned to their gunboat, which was anchored about 2 miles midstream. The Negroes prominent at these ceremonies were Dr. Ernest Lyon, American Minister Resident and Consul General, Bishop Scott, Geo. W. Ellis, Secretary of Legation, T. McCants Stewart and Biship Heard, all members of the unwashed. The people are suspicious of Lyons and Scott; they are not popular. McCants Stewart sticks to President Barclay, but he seems to be mistrusted by both sides. The Legislature is to be convened on Monday, and intends to impeach President Barclay. Unless he has feathered his nest he and McCants Stewart will be in a bad way. The only thing bad I see in Mr. Stewart, who is really a brilliant man, is that his general --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY COMMISSION CH NEGRO REI IONERS REPUBLIC Monrovia is an office seeker. The Americo-Liberians are hated by the natives whom they look down on contemptuously. President Barclay, who is a West Indian Negro, does not like American Negroes and does not hesitate to show his contempt for them. I am preparing as rapidly as I can for my trip to Timbuctoo. I shall start not later than the last week in August. I am hoping to hear from you by return mail. I may go to Sierra Lone before setting out for Timbuctoo, as I have some goods there that I wish to dispose of—Ostrich feathers, skins, ivory and aigrettes. Try to get the report from the Assembly to me by last of July. Faithfully yours, ADEMBO LOKAJA. To Mr. John Edward Bruce, Youkers, N. Y., U. S. A. What Colorado Students Are Doing at Western U. Miss Ethel Minor of Colorado Springs graduates this week from the Scientific Cooking Department. Miss Minor recently gave a high-class recital to the acuity and Kansas City invited musical critics. Her efforts won her high credit and esteem. Miss Minor will graduate next year from the Music Department. Miss Diette Williams of Silverton also completed the Scientific Cooking Class this year, but will remain over and graduate in both Normal and Industrial work next year. Mr. Aphonso Williams of Silverton surprised the whole institution recently by artistically rendering a beautiful basso solo in chapel. Mr. Williams has a remarkably deep voice for one so young, and will yet lead his section of the Choral Society. Miss Eva Cruter of Trinidad recently gave a piano recital with the president's daughter, Miss French, and executed in a magnificent manner. The record made by Miss Cruter here in music is one of which Trinidad and all Colorado may well feel proud. --- --- judgment is bad on political questions. He said that the United States should not help Liberia and seems to have thrown what influence he had to England. I have just come down the river, where I have been working a week sinking a 12-foot shaft. I am sending you some sand (black). Please, at your earliest convenience, have it assayed. If it is of any value then we are all right. The American Minister here, Lyons, is a white man's man and always was. So is Bishop Scott and they are determined that no other Negro shall succeed if they cannot control him. Africa on paper is different from the real Africa. To reform this nation drastic measures will have to be adopted. If I had it to do I would place the entire adult population under rigid discipline similar to that in force in the U. S. Army and I would make the country a Tuskegee to the minors. I would cover the whole country with the most modern system of transportation, and the most up-to-date facilities for freight and passenger communication abroad so that the people could buy and sell to the best advantage. Liberia as at present governed, is a stench in the nostrils of all European commercial centers. Here is a nation of two millions of people; think of it! with 45,000 or 50,000 square miles of the richest land in Africa from which the natives get annually and almost without effort $1,200,000 of wil produce. Only the labor of gathering it is required. Yet their reputation for honesty is so bad that the government cannot borrow a dollar on its honor. Oh, what a financial mess these American Commissioners will unearth. These people have gotten themselves all tangled up with England by borrowing from it some years ago £100,000 which has not been paid, and there are some complications with France, too, on the boundary question. With few and honorable exceptions all the public officials in Liberia I have met are grafters of the worst kind, and everybody—every male citizen—in JUNE 19 1909 Faithfully yours. FIVE CENTS A COPY WORLDWIDE SECRET ORDER. Mysterious Tens to Hold Annual Session at St. Paul In July. The most interesting meeting of secret societies so far announced for the western section of the United States is that of the United Brotherhood of Friendship, Sisters of the Mysterious Ten and Knights of Friendship, which will be held at St. Paul, Minn., from July 26 to 31, inclusive. Two thousand delegates are expected to be in attendance, and the proceedings of the convention in reference to ways and means for the advancement of our people in business and education will make the session a notable one in the annals of St. Paul Afro-Americans. The order embraces in its membership Negroes in all parts of the world. Present at the convention will be Thomas G. Fuller of Monrovia, Liberia, grand master of the lodges in Africa. While the order is now worldwide, it had its origin at Louisville, Ky., in 1860, when seven Negroes, three slaves and four free, met and organized the order for the general advancement of the colored people. It has steadily gained in strength until now it is the biggest Negro order in the world. Questions of endowment for the aged and the welfare of old folks' homes conducted in different parts of the country will come up for consideration. The official announcement which was recently sent out by Frederick L. McGhee, chairman of the executive committee, is interesting. It says that "the Negro is the most interesting of the people of the American civilization. Here in St. Paul we have him at his best, and we are anxious to show the superior advantages of the great north-west." On Wednesday of convention week there will be a great street parade. A purse of gold is offered for the lodge, temple or camp making the best appearance. Friday will be general outing day and competitive drills day at the fair grounds. Minnesota has the best fair grounds in the country, spacious buildings and elegant and commodious grand stands overlooking the parade grounds. One thousand dollars in gold will be awarded to the competitors. The grounds and buildings will be beautifully illuminated at night, and the prizes will be awarded in the amphitheater. RICHLY ENDOWED SCHOOL Institution at Atlanta, Ga., Has Firm Financial Footing. Gammon Theological seminary at Atlanta, Ga., is said to be the best endowed school for the training of Afro-Americans for the ministry in the south. It is managed by the Metho The Negro's Citizenship. Conference on the Status of the American Negro Held In New York Denounced Injustice to the Negro as a Menace to the Government. The recent conference on the status of the Negro in the United States which was held in New York was notable in many ways. First, it was the only one of its kind held since the Negro was declared a freeman and given the ballot; second, it brought together upon a common level for the best interest of the whole people and the Negro race in particular a committee of the best informed men and women of both races to discuss Q JOSEPH C. MANNING. questions of national importance. The call for the meeting, which was issued by a New York committee, was couched in these words: "The government cannot exist half slave and half free any better today than it could in 1861. Hence we call upon all believers in democracy to join in a national conference for the discussion of the present evils, the voicing of protests and the renewal of the struggle for civil and political liberty." There were several sessions held in the United Charities building, both private and public. The public meeting which was held in Cooper Union was attended by fully 1,500 people. Judge Wendell P. Stafford of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, who presided at the Cooper Union meeting, said in his opening address: I believe in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man-not the brotherhood of white men, but the brotherhood of all men. I believe in the Golden Rule and the Declaration of Independence, and I stand by the constitution of the United States, including the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. That is my creed and my platform. The broad subject of our conference is the Negro and the nation—not the Negro and the north, not the Negro and the south, not the Negro and the white man, but the Negro and the nation. The questions it brings up are national. They cannot be settled by any one race and still less by any one section. They concern the whole country, and they must be answered by the country as a whole. If the constitution is not binding in South Carolina it is not binding in New York. If it cannot protect the black man it cannot long protect the white. If fifteen states can set aside the constitution at their pleasure there is no constitution worth the name. If a state can nullify one clause it can nullify the whole. If a state can in a single congressional district deliberately exclude three-fourths of its eligible voters from the polls on the real ground of color and yet insist upon having them all counted for the purpose of holding a seat in the national assembly it can perpetrate a fraud on every legally constituted congressional district in the United States, and there is no security for representative government in any corner of the land. If any class or race can be permanently set apart from and pushed down below the rest in political and civil rights, so may any other class or race when it shall incur the displeasure of its more powerful associates, and we may say farewell at once to the principles on which we have counted for protection. We are confronted not by a theory, but THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. by a fact. That fact is the deliberate and avowed exclusion of a whole race of our fellow citizens from their constitutional rights, accompanied by the announcement that that exclusion must and shall be permanent. It is not that the Negro is ignorant nor that he is poor nor that he is vicious, but that he is a Negro. Even when he is good and learned and rich he must still be excluded because he is still a Negro. That is the proposition, and that it is which makes it the duty of all who dissent from such a doctrine to make their dissent known and make it uncompromising and clear. It will not do to shut our eyes to the real causes and results of the war, especially now, when northern indifference and southern injustice strike hands to keep the black race in a new bondage as helpless and hopeless as the old. As a member of the white race and turning for the moment to white men I say that our race will deserve any calamity the presence of the black race may bring. We brought it here by theft and force. We owed it liberty, and we gave it a chain. We owe it light, and we give it darkness. We owe it opportunity, and we hedge it around with restraints. We owe it the courthouse, and we give it the lynching tree. Shame on the race that holds in its hands the wealth of the continent and carries in its brain the accumulated culture of the centuries and yet, refusing to lift ignorance and vice to the level of enlightenment and virtue, makes that ignorance and vice an excuse for the denial of rights! Never until the white man has spent his last surplus dollar and exhausted the last faculty of his brain in the effort to lift up his weaker brother—never until then can he stand in the presence of infinite justice and complain of the ignorance or the criminality of the black. America did not choose the great doctrine of equal rights. That immortal truth chose America. It has molded her from the beginning. It will mold her until the end. But if it cannot it will cast her off with the wreckage of the past and take up some other nation that shall be found worthy. The speeches by Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, Professor W. E. B. Du Bois, Dr J. Milton Waldron and Bishop Alex ander Walters were strong and fear less. Joseph C. Manning, a white man, of Alexander City, Ala., excoriated white supremacy at the south and asserted it is the result of political control by the sons of the slaveholding generation that suppresses whites as well as blacks. He declared that out of 500, 000 males of voting age in Alabama 200,000 of them are black and 300,000 white. Only 100,000 are able to write. The appointment of Professor William L. Bulkley, principal of public school No. 80, New York, on the committee on permanent organization gave general satisfaction to the Afso-American wing of the conference, as did also that of Professor Du Bois and Bishop Walters. A. E. Pillsbury, formerly attorney general of Massachusetts, aroused much enthusiasm by a speech in which he said: I object to disfranchising not because the Negro is disfranchised, but because the whole performance is political fraud upon the whole community, the whole country, all the nondisfranchising states. Disfranchising the Negro has multiplied by at least two the political power of every white voter in disfranchising states and by so much has disfranchised the other white voters in the thirty-seven nondisfranchising states. William A. Sinclair of Philadelphia said: Mr. Taft has made a shameful concession to placate the south. The people of the north support him because they believe him honest. He fairly basked in southern hospitality, and there are no more hospitable people, nor are there people who know better how to use it to further their own aims. Mr. Taft has bent the knee to the Baal of southern race prejudice in saying that he would not appoint colored men to office if the white citizens protested. We must take up this challenge and meet it manfully. The resolutions which the conference adopted were as follows: We denounce the ever growing oppression of our 10,000,000 colored fellow citizens as the greatest menace that threatens the country. Often plundered of their just share of the public funds, robbed of nearly all part in the government, some murdered with impunity and all treated with open contempt by officials, they are held in some states in practical slavery to the white community. The systematic persecution of law abiding citizens and their disfranchisement on account of their race alone is a crime that will ultimately drag down to an infamous end any nation that allows it to be practiced, and it bears most heavily on those poor white farmers and laborers whose economic position is most similar to that of the persecuted race. The nearest hope lies in the immediate and patiently continued enlightenment of the people who have been invigiled into a campaign of oppression. The spoils of persecution should not go to enrich any class or classes of the population. Indeed, persecution of organized workers, peonage, enslavement of prisoners and even disfranchisement already threaten large bodies of whites in many southern states. We agree fully with the prevailing opinion that the transformation of the unskilled colored laborers in industry and agriculture into skilled workers is of vital importance to that race and to the nation but we demand for the Negroes, as for all others, a free and complete education whether by city, state or nation, a grammar school and industrial training for all and technical, professional and academic education for the most gifted. But the public schools assigned to the Negro, of whatever kind or grade, will never receive a fair and equal treatment until he is given equal treatment in the legislature and before the law. Nor will the practically educated Negro, no matter how valuable to the community he may prove, be given a fair return for his labor or encouraged to put forth his best efforts or given the chance to develop that efficiency that comes only outside the school until he is respected in his legal rights as a man and a citizen. We regard with grave concern the attempt manifest south and north to deny to black men the right to work and to enforce this demand by violence and bloodshed. Such a question is too fundamental and clear even to be submitted to arbitration. The late strike in Georgia is not simply a demand that Negroes be displaced, but that proved and efficient men be made to surrender their long followed means of livelihood to white competitors. As first and immediate steps toward remedying these national wrongs, so full of peril for the whites as well as the blacks of all sections, we demand of congress and the executive: First.—That the constitution be strictly enforced and the civil rights guaranteed under the fourteenth amendment be secured impartially to all. Second.—That there be equal educational opportunities for all and in all the states and that public school expenditure be the same for the Negro and white child. Third.—That, in accordance with the fifteenth amendment, the right of the Negro to the ballot on the same terms as other citizens be recognized in every part of the country. The committee on permanent organization in its report proposed a resolution providing for the "incorporation of a national committee to be known as a committee for the advancement of the Negro race." Negro Militia Without Home. As the result of a clash between Mayor Hibbard and Adjutant General Brigham, Company L of the Sixth regiment, the only Negro organization in the Massachusetts militia, finds itself excluded from every armory in Boston. The present quarters in Charlestown have been selected by Mayor Hibbard for a new city bathhouse, and the adjutant general has refused the company permission to occupy room in any other armory. The adjutant general it is said, stated that all of the other modern armories in the city are at present taxed to their utmost with other troops. The quarters of the Negro company were formerly in the west end, where a large part of its members live. The men had occupied their new quarters only a short time. Much dissatisfaction at the clash is aroused among the Negro residents of Boston, and there are prospects of a mass meeting to raise funds to provide a building for the Negro company. PAGE. 10. ...

Our People Doing Well In Wilmington, Del.-Dr. Banton's Influence. Wilmington, Del., is a thriving manufacturing city whose colored population numbers 12,000. Among them are many evidences of thrift. There are eight churches and quite a number of successful business and professional men. Prominent among these are William E. Grinage, a funeral director Drs. J. B. Stubbs, Samuel G. Elbert, H. C. Stevens and Conwell Banton. W. L. Postles conducts a successful grocery store, and Drs. Stevens and Elbert run a pharmacy. 6 Dr. Elbert lives in a fine colonial mansion directly opposite the courthouse and fronting on three streets. He purchased this property two years ago at a cost of $10,000, and it is probably worth double that sum to day. Dr. Banton is known as one of the most influential residents in Wilmington. He located there in 1901, the year following his graduation from the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania. He is foremost in matters affecting the general welfare of the race and is prominently connected with the Masons, Elks and Odd Fellows. At the last session of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows, held at Atlantic City last September, he was elected surgeon general of the order. He is also a member of the National Medical association and the Episcopal church. Besides enjoying a lucrative medical practice, he and John O. Hopkins, a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, have just opened a well stocked drug store at Twelfth and Market streets. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

There is not so much in the son; "Bless Be the Tie That Binds" to some people, but to others it means unity, strength, power and progress. Sunday night at Zion Baptist Church will be long remembered, not because the True Reformers were there; no because Rev. J. E. Ford of Jacksonville, preached nor even because the choir almost faultlessly rendered "Imflammatus," but mainly because the True Reformers were carrying out the ideas of its deceased founder, W. W. Brown, as he evinced them in Rev. Ford's text, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen. That gathering was only a manifestation of his old faith or putting it in another way it was his faith put in reality, the invisible. A large collection was taken up and given to the church, choir, THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Rev. D. E. Over and to Rev. J. E. Ford. A spiritual time and a great moral uplift was the consequence of that visit to the church. On Sunday, June 27th, they will be at Scott M. E. Church, when the church will be crowded to the doors. REV. D. E. OVER PREACHES A STRONG SERMON TO I. G. A. GIVES EXCELLENT ADVICE. When we say that on no occasion was ever a grander, truer, more practical, logical and philosophical sermon preached to any body anywhere than came from the lips of Zion Baptist Church's pastor Sunday afternoon when he delivered the annual sermon to the I. G. A. It was more of an intellectual, spiritual and moral feast of science, and life applied to our knotty problems of today. He reasoned from the known to the unknown, from the material to the immaterial so well and so plainly put his illustrations that one not knowing would be led to believe he was talking to children. The I. G. A. stands for something in this community and if we fill and harmonize with the law we will reap the reward of the law and not its penalty. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap," was shown to apply in commercial, physical and spiritual life. Verily it is the law of compensation. The I. G. A. stands to develop character in men and women and the kernel of his whole lecture was in his appeal to "Be square" with the moral law. We may commend this central thought around which was built his lecture, "Be square" with oneself. We must do it, to prosper, to ever be anything in reality in the race of life. Kelly Miller impressed this thought in his lecture. The I. G. A. must measure up to this standard individually from the highest to the lowest and including the most popular man or woman. Too much comment cannot be made on his lecture for it was the greatest lecture heard in Zion for a long time. The house was fairly crowded and they seemed to catch the inspiration. The mixed quartette sang very beautiful and easily showed their superiority in the rendering of the selection. On the whole this sermon marks a new epoch in the life and activity of the I. G. A. There is to-day more real interest in the I. G. A.'s success than ever before. Watch for the banquet announcement. A MISTAKE. By some inadvertence the name of Mr. John Cooper was left out of the invited guests to Prof. Kelly Miller's banquet by the Howard Alumni and ex-Student Society. Mr. Cooper was one of the prominent wittists on that occasion. It was very unfortunate that the error occurred. The Colorado delegation from Western University arrived Saturday afternoon, among them were Messrs. E. S. Plummer, Carmen Nichols, Geo. A. Williams, Guy Coker, and the Misses Fitzpatricks, Ethel Minor and many others whose names we failed to secure. BASKET PICNIC ARAPAHOE S.N.

As announced some weeks ago, we have assigned the accounts of some of our out-of-town subscribers. This action has been taken after futile efforts to collect subscriptions through our office. Our statements and pleas for payment have been ignored and in self-protection we are compelled to collect as best we can. It takes money to run a newspaper and we try to pay our bills. The cooperation of our customers is necessary to our success. Customers who pay, do not understand the "spongers" and the dead-beats. They do not realize that their is a percentage of newspaper readers who are neither honest nor square. This class does not pay, when asked in courteous and business-like manner. When driven to reply they claim that "I did not order the paper, anyway." Falsehood and dishonesty are twin brothers and we do not hesitate to say that customers who do not pay, and don't want to pay, rob us of our just due, and are dishonest in intent. We can do better without them than we can with them. For those who are willing to pay and cannot, we wish it to be thoroughly understood that we will agree to any reasonable request for time.

Dialogue, If Correctly Reported, Should Have Made Corporation Magnate Feel at Home. The corporation magnate who had been a witness while on earth ap proached the golden gate and handed his card to St. Peter, saying: "Will you kindly open the gate?" "I am very sorry," said Peter regretfully, "but, really, I must consult my counsel before answering." "Why, you know who I am, don't you?" inquired the departed. "The question," said Peter, "is misleading, irrelevant and immaterial; yet, as I desire to give fullest information on all matters, I will say that my memory is faulty on that subject." "Certainly, you are acquainted with my gifts and good deeds." "I have no distinct recollection." "At any rate, you know I left the bulk of my estate to charity," said the departed, slightly miffed. "Really, I have not been in personal touch with these matters for some years. Yet, if the amount is so stated, I am not in a position to question it," said Peter, smiling benignly. "If you don't know these things, how am I get in?" exclaimed the departed. "I cannot say," was the answer. "Am I to get in at all?" "That is not my understanding of the matter." "Well, this beats the devil," said the departed. "Such may be the case, but I am unable to view it in that light," answered Peter. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Then he stepped off the stand, and, bowing kindly on all sides, went to luncheon. And the departed, sitting down on the steps, said musingly: "There goes a splendid man, one I could have used in my business. And yet he lacks originality. That was all my own stuff."—New York Times. Sicilian Superstitions. Over almost every door you will find a stuffed glove with two fingers extended to keep away the evil eye. When a child is born the mother haugs a string about its neck to which she ties a number of little articles; a twisted horn of coral to keep away the jettatura, of which the Sicilian has a mortal dread; a tiny cockshell, the old Crusader's emblem, for safe-keeping and goodness; a little key with which to enter Paradise and a bag of salt for wisdom. When a baby is baptized mothers implore that it be given much salt, and often the tiny thing is all but strangled. The women, too, do everything to keep from having a child born in March DENVER LOCALS Miss Katherine DeNeal has received a letter from the Wallace Business College testifying to her having completed a business course there and recommending her to all persons needing such service.

Sing Lee, a Chinaman who conducts a restaurant at Superior, Wis., was sued by Robert E. Brown, an Afro-American, the other day because, as he alleges, Sing Lee refused to serve him a meal in his restaurant. According to evidence brought out in the trial before a circuit court jury, Brown late one night went into Sing Lee's place and ordered a bowl of chop suey. He asserts that the oriental refused to serve him on account of his color, and he therefore asked the court to order the Chinaman to pay him damages. Sing Lee says Brown was not served because the restaurant had closed for the night and that no one could have induced him to reopen the place for a single order at that hour. Brown admitted that it was late, but says the Chinaman did not advance that fact as a reason for refusing to serve him. Brown recently sued a local roller rink because he was refused admittance and won a verdict for $25. The case was appealed to the supreme court, the decision reversed and a retrial ordered. Drama In Aid of Church Funds. The drama entitled "Millie, the Quadroon; or, Out of Bondage," which was recently given at the Warren M. E. church, Pittsburg, by a number of young people of the church, was a decided social and financial success. The exercises were personally directed by Mrs. C. W. Posey. The cast of characters was as follows: Bessie Banks, Millie, the Quadroon; Seward H. Posey, a doctor; Robert Mahoney, the doctor's cousin; William Writt, Jr., a southern planter; C. W. Posey, Jr., sheriff; Park Demmey, slave boy; Edna Berry, southern lady; Eva Demmey, the doctor's old maid sister; Pearl Jones, a mulatto woman; Daviant Allen, a slave girl. The proceeds will be used to pay for the beautiful window, "Clinging to the Cross," which was donated by the Ladies' Aid society. Doctors to Meet In Boston. The recent improvements in the medical department of Howard university. Washington, is said to have infused new life into the National Medical Association of Negro Physicians, and the members of the organization are making strenuous efforts to give a good account of themselves at the annual meeting of the association in Boston next August. Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington is chairman of the surgical part of the program and is keeping in close touch with physicians and hospitals in Boston with a view of offering to physicians in attendance at the annual meeting opportunity for a number of clinics.

PAGE dist Episcopal church, the money (£20, 000) for its erection having been given by Rev. and Mrs. E. H. Gammon. Bishop H. W. Warren, whose episcopal residence was in Atlanta when the school was founded, raised an additional $20,000 for the erection of a new theological hall. Professor W. H. Crogman, now president of Clark university, was elected professor of New Testament exegesis, and Rev. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of Howard university at Washington, was elected dean. Later Rev. Mr. Gammon gave $200,000 as an endowment fund, and the school was put upon a firm financial footing. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, the present head of the school, is one of the most scholarly ministers of the race. He has been connected with the school since 1893, when he was elected professor of historical theology. He succeeded Dr. Atkinson. Dr. Bowen was graduated from New Orleans university with the degree of bachelor of arts at the age of twenty-one and was professor of Latin and Greek at Walden university, Nashville, Tenn., for four years. Fine Pleasure Resort. Dahomy park at Dayton, O., is the finest pleasure resort owned and controlled by Afro-Americans in the United States. The park was opened to the public not long ago by M. C. Moore, who is the owner and manager. Baseball grounds, swings, a skating rink, clubrooms, ice cream parlors, soda fountain and other accommodations for the public have been fitted up. Mr. Moore has spent upward of $40,000 in this new venture for our people as a healthful, first class park where mothers may take their children without coming in contact with unwholesome influences. The baseball grounds have already been engaged by some of the noted western clubs for matched games this season. White people are also admitted. There is no discrimination. Well Informed Employee. Daniel A. Adys, the Afro-American attendant at the American Geographical society at West Eighty-first street, New York, has been in the employ of the society for the past twenty-eight years. He has a remarkable memory and knows more about the society and its inside workings than most of the members themselves. A visitor to the society recently, who had not been inside the building for eight years, was instantly recognized by Mr. Adys, to his great surprise. Mr. Adys has a liberal education and is well informed upon many scientific subjects. He is one of the most useful men in the employ of the society. Students to Hear C. W. Anderson. The public schools of Washington are fortunate in having secured the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, internal revenue collector for the Second district of New York, as the principal speaker for the closing exercises, which will be held June 18. There will be many social functions held in honor of the collector by his many friends, who are proud of his success. Dr. Elbert Defeated For Office. Dr. Samuel G. Elbert, one of the leading Afro-American physicians of Willington, Del., who ran for city councilman at the recent election, was defeated. At the election, which was held some time ago, Dr. Elliott, who is also an Afro-American, won over three other candidates by 112 votes and is the only Afro-American member of the city council from the Sixth ward. --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD Arithmetic For African Tribe. At the recent meeting of the Presbyterian general assembly at Denver the reports on education showed that $185,000 was spent in 1908 for work among our people. Although this sum seems large, it was not sufficient to carry out properly the plans of the educational department for Negro education. The American Tract society presented a report through the Rev. Judson Swift, secretary, showing that $100,000 of the floating indebtedness of the association was lifted in the last four months through careful management of finances. He was emphatic in speaking of the necessity for tract work. He told of the application of a tribe in southern Africa for an arithmetic printed in the native tongue and said that, while the furnishing of text books to the natives was a little outside the realm of the tract society, he presumed that until the Africans were able to compute the number of lions and elephants slain by the ex-president they would be unwilling to settle down to a study of Christianity. PENSION FOR COACHMAN. William Henderson, Who Served the Morrisises Forty Years. Retired. William Henderson, who has been in the employ of the John A. Morris family at Throgs Neck, N. Y., for the past forty years, has been richly rewarded for his faithfulness. Mrs. Morris decided recently that the automobile is the proper carriage for the modern woman of fashion, so she took her last drive with Mr. Henderson on the box, and upon returning to the house she informed him that from that moment the two bay horses, the landau and victorias were his, and, besides these, he should have a house, land, a coachman to drive for him whenever he desired and an income sufficient to keep him comfortably the rest of his life. Mrs. Morris was Cora Hennen of New Orleans, and Henderson was born in the service of her family. The freeing of the slaves offered him nothing so attractive as staying with the same old family which his father and mother had served, so when Miss Hennen married John A. Morris and came north Henderson came with her. He is known all over Westchester county almost as well as the Morrises themselves. Several years ago he saved Mrs. Morris' life by stopping a pair of runaways and nearly lost his own life in doing it. Mr. Taft's Lost Opportunity. Would Mr. Roosevelt have seen the mails held up and humble, industrious men rocked from their places of labor by crowds of hoodlums in Georgia? Hardly. Whatever else Mr. Roosevelt was, he was never called a coward, and he could do a thing speedily. At present between the railroad bating and Negro hating Hoke Smith and the jolly good fellow Mr. Taft we are having a reign of anarchy just outside of the walls of Fort McPherson and beneath the shadow of the Georgia capitol.—Star of Zion.

A Magnetic Healer has arrived in the city, and invites the sick and afflicted to make no delay in calling to see him. Precious Life and Health can be Saved by this that would be Hope less Under the Old Methods. The Nature of The Disease makes no Difference. It is no longer necessary to suffer the pangs of pain and disease, or die prematurely. The time is now at hand when it is as easy to get well as it is to get sick. Those who are suffering with Stomach Troubles, bad cases of Rheumatism, or any other Lingering Disease, take one treatment of Magnetic healing from the Healer and you shall be convinced that your disease and pains will be turned into health and joy. All this is simply the operation of natural law, and it is not half as wonderful as the fact that you can send your voice along a little wire for thousands of miles, yet no one doubts the telephone, or is astonished at what it accomplishes. Is it strange, then, that a new discovery should be made in the line of physical science as applied to the healing art. PROF. H. G. H. BUTLER. NOTICE—A WONDER.

With a membership of a little less than 400 what could be wrought in Denver by the True Reformers!! He defined what it meant to be a True Reformer and particularly impressive was he about the business feature of the order. That was the real nucleus around which the secrets were woven and he pointed out ways means how Denver could do by the way the other Reformers were doing in the South. Rev. Ford packed and pressed a speech of two hours in a few remarks of 45 minutes. There is no question but that his suggestions will be productive of much good in the way of caring for ours now while wages are fairly normal in Solorado. He sowed many good seed. S. A.

Scott's pastor has been invited to preach at the Campbell A. M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon. Members and friends are urged to be present and make this an inspiring service. This is the occasion of the second quarterly conference. The church has made a remarkable advancement during the short three months the new pastor has had charge. There was reported something over $300.00 raised and $515.00 valuation added to the church property. Seven members have been added to the membership roll. There is new life in all of the departments of the church. There was no special effort made in any of the offerings during the quarter as our annual rally will come off the first Sunday in September. We thank the many friends and well-wishers of Scott's for their hearty co-operation during the quarter. The Quarterly Conference has decided to increase the pastor's salary $136.00 over last year. This is the second time that the members have seen fit to increase its pastor's salary. This is a true indication of the real growth and prosperity of Scott's Chapel. This action was done unanimously and to the entire satisfaction of both members and pastor. Doctor J. W. E. Bowen, President of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., will lecture in the great Trinity M. E. Church for the benefit of Scott's Chapel sometime in July. The detail of the trip westward is being arranged by the Rev. James N. Wallace. This will be a rare treat to hear this great orator and scholar. Dr. Bowen has thrilled thousands by his eloquence and power. He is the president of the greatest Negro Theological Seminary in the world. Its professors are the most highly paid. Don't fail to hear this great orator. Sunday was an ideal day. The members and friends began to wend their way early to the services. The Rev. J. J. Cabbell came up to all expectations. He preached a very practical sermon to an attentive audience. The members and friends continued to file into the church until the close of the service. This was the occasion of the first quarterly conference. Good reports came from all departments of the church. This was the best quarter in the history of the organization. The District Superintendent is very much pleased with the outlook for the Methodist Episcopal Church in the fair city of the West. In the afternoon according to promise, the Rev. Dr. J. E. Ford, the former popular pastor of Zion Baptist Church, filled the pulpit. His sermon was one of deep research in the Bible and philosphy. He showed considerable knowledge of mental and spiritual growth in all of its intricate forms. His message was not of the dry kinds that are the usual results of mental and metaphysical research, but was full of life and enthusiasm. Dr. Ford knows the people he has to work with. The sermon will long be remembered as one of the speaker's best. Many of his old time friends greeted him and congratulated him. Several visiting ministers were present and helped to make the meeting a grand success. The Holy Communion was administered after the sermon.

The Consequence of Slander. Never can you stop the consequences of a slander. You may publicly prove its falsehood, you may sift every atom, explain and annihilate it and yet years after you had thought that all had been disposed of forever, the mention of a name wakes up associations in the mind of some one who heard the calumny but never heard or never attended to the refutation, or who has only a vague and confuse recollection of the whole, and he asks the question doubtfully, "But were there not some suspicious circumstances connected with him?" It is like the metaphor St. James himself uses—it is like the wheel which catches fire as it goes and burns with a fierce conflagration as its own speed increases. "It sets on fire the whole course of nature." You cannot arrest a cruel word spoken. it was intended for an praise, but the devil it and then it sounds an owl."

Dixon, D, D., Pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn, N. Y., For Forty-six Years, Passes Away. By N. B. DODSON. The Rev. William T. Dixon, D. D., who died at his late home in Brooklyn, N. Y., recently, was one of the most distinguished as well as widely known Baptist preachers among Afro-Americans in the United States. At the time his death occurred he had been the faithful pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn, for nearly forty-six years, having taken charge in October, 1863. He received his license to preach from the Abyssinia Baptist church, New York, in 1859. Before entering the ministry Dr. Dixon taught public school at Stonington, Conn.; Flushing, N. Y., and at Baltimore. It was while he was a teacher in the latter city that he met Miss Matilda A. Wilson, whom he afterward married. Five children were born to them, two of whom survive him. Mrs. Dixon, however, did not live very long. Dr. Dixon's second marriage was to Miss Angeline C. Frazier of Arlington, Va., who, with two children, survives him. William Thomas Dixon was born in Elizabeth street, New York, Sept. 8, 1833. His parents were George L. and Matilda Dixon. He received his education in the public schools of Brooklyn, where he lived nearly all of his life. Among his closest friends in the ministry for a number of years were Henry Ward Beecher, Dr. Storrs, Hiram Hutchins, Rufus Lewis Perry, Amos N. Freeman, T. Doughty Miller, R. D. Wynn and William H. Phillips, of whom only the latter two are living. Dr. Dixon was not rated as a pulpit orator, but an effective preacher of the simple gospel of Jesus Christ. As a pastor he was faithful and true to the members of his church and congregation and the public generally, for he visited the sick, aged and infirm of all denominations and was called the pastor of all the people, the dean of the Afro-American clergy. The Concord Baptist Church of Christ, of which he was the pastor, was started in a little frame building on Concord street, near Gold. At the time Pastor Dixon took charge of it there were about fifty scattered members, few of whom, as he often said, loved Zion's solemn feasts. He leaves a united church with 1,000 members and church property valued at $45,000. About thirty years ago Pastor Dixon preached a stirring sermon against adultery which nearly rent the membership of his church. His life was threatened by some of the members, and for a long time he had to be guarded in going to and from the services of the church. Many of the members withdrew their support, and, as he put it, he had a hard road to travel, but he outlived all of those who despised him and died beloved and respected by all who knew him of both races. Dr. Dixon was one of the founders of the New England Baptist missionary convention thirty-six years ago, of which he served as corresponding secretary for nineteen years, and at the time of his death had been its emerable president for nine years.

Miss Genevieve Hallowell, prop. Mrs. J. R. Hallowell, Mgr. Dr. Dixon received the degree or doctor of divinity from the Arkansas State Baptist college in May, 1902. He had the honor of presiding over the Long Island Baptist association (white) for two years. He organized the first Grand Army post of Afro-Americans in Brooklyn—viz, William Lloyd Garrison post, 207—over thirty years ago, of which he was made an honorary member in August, 1907. Dr. Dixon's work, aside from his church, was very great. He was a member of the board of managers of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan asylum, the Baptist home, the Home For Aged Colored People, the Fresh Air home at Westbury, N. Y.; the New England Baptist missionary convention and chairman of the committee of management of the Y. M. C. A.

Dr. Dixon stuck to his profession. "I was not called to be a politician or to engage in business," he said. "My business is to preach the souls of men from hell to heaven." In his last annual sermon he said to the church: "I have been with you in times that were gloomy and scenes which were bright. I cannot live forty-five years longer. I am nothing without the Holy Spirit and your prayers. So I say, 'Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy holy name we give all the praise and all the glory. Amen.'" His last annual report showed that during his ministry he had united 949 couples in marriage and had preached at the funerals of 3,139 persons. Dr. Dixon's funeral was held from the church and was attended by thousands. It is estimated that fully 5,000 viewed the remains, which lay in state at the church for twenty-four hours. The eulogy was delivered by Dr. Dixon's lifelong friend, the Rev. Dr. R. D. Wynn. Dr. W. A. Creditt, vice president of the New England Baptist missionary convention, presided, and fifty ministers from the said convention acted as honorary pallbearers. The remains were interred in the family plot at Cypress Hills. New York 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. POPE. THE STATESMAN.

A few weeks ago the New York Age gave considerable space to the incident mentioned in this paper wherein W. T. Vernon, register of the U. S. Treasury, and some Southern congressmen came into disagreement over the former eating in the Capitol cafe. The article was skillfully colored to put the register in the worst possible light, and insinuated that he was everything that he should not have been and nothing that he should have been. In short, it was in full accord with the comment coming from white papers on the incident. The facts were so monstrously misrepresented in the press that our Eastern correspondent tells us that they were "unlimitgated lies." The Age is fully aware that the relationship between the races is full of friction at best. It knows further that the wisest or us is always an easy victim for misrepresentation in the white press. Therefore, when Register Vernon is accused of having thrust himself upon the white customers of the Capitol cafe contrary to Washington custom, and is further accused of having made an abject apology for so doing when criticised, it was the part of the Negro press to examine facts closely before singing the song of the white sensation mongler. Now that the returns are all in and no foundation of fact is found in the matter, Speaker Cannon having told the Southerners in language more emphatic than politic to crack their whip about the matter on the floor of the house, the Age stands disclosed stooping to unworthy journalism. But it is of something more subtle and unworthy if true that we would speak. It is nothing new for a newspaper to fall short of its high calling. It is generally believed that Booker T. Washington is the controlling genius in the Age and shapes its policies in matters of politics and race leadership. If he is the man behind the throne, and this cowardly fabrication received his endorsement, we are disappointed. The Statesman has at all times insisted that Mr. Washington is a great constructive genius. We have denounced without stint that perennial attacks of certain persons on him. We have surrounded him with a halo of genius. If now he is guilty of petty jealousy, he is a smaller man than we thought. If he is not he mav as well realize first as last that his connection with the New York Age is so generally accepted as a fact, and the attitude of the Age toward Register eVrnon is so dastardly, that he can only clear himself of the charge of collusion by speaking out. This is not time for silence. More than any other man, or all other men, Prof. Vernon represents the Negroes of the West. Mr. Washington is accepted by us as a leader of merit, but if he will not be content for us to be loyal to men of our own section who are in sympathy with us, he mav as well learn early as late, that he falls short of our ideal and we will stand or fall with our own. Mr. Washington visited this city some ten years ago and suffered the indignity of hav- PAGE. & ing his meals served to him in his room in the Brown Palace hotel. We did not criticise him for that, for we know he would not deliberately seek to be insulted. The New York Age well knows Prof. Vernon did not rush into discrimination open-eyed, and it never believed that he made the lick-spittle apology as claimed. The West insists that Booker T. Washington either clear his skirts of complicity in the Vernon canard, or yield up our respect and fealty to him as a race leader. The visit of Prof. Kelly Miller to this city last week and his return here after several days spent in Colorado Springs and Pueblo, afforded us an excellent opportunity of meeting one of the race's truly great men. Prof. Miller has done such work in the world as bears no color mark, but stands for accomplishment in the eyes of the best of the age. His reception by the white people of the state was warm, and was a strong testimonial to his own doctrine that merit knows no color limitation. His addresses were instructive. Their depth precluded their being popular. Their sterling truth tickled no fancies, but their directness drove home a lesson that will bear fruit in many lives. We hope to produce for our readers at some time in the future his impressions of the people here, and in the meantime suggest that all who would drink deeper at his fount of wisdom, address him for a copy of his views on "Race Adjustment," or see the local agent. The Inter-Graduate Association has done the community a distinct service in getting him to come here, and we regret that all Denver could not hear him. MUST LOOK AFTER OUR BOYS. We call attention to the fact that lots of our boys are out of school, many are here from school and the majority of them want employment. The parents and friends ought to get them into some kind of work, however high or humble. We must be missionaries and look after our boys and friend's boy. Go to our white friends, tell them our boy wants work to return to school and what ou expect of him and if you show the man YOU are really in earnest he will help you, if not directly, indirectly. All kinds of work is noble but all kinds of idleness ignoble. That will apply to our girls also. Let the old residents become "boosters" of the young students and see what wonderful results will happen. It might be justly said we may recommend the wrong one; suppose you do, only be more careful next time because we cannot all be perfect. If interest is shown in them, they will respond with like interest and vice versa. We will await the outcome of this year's student vacation with great expectancy. TERMS. Why help pay big rent?
