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.

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 Rey. J. E. Ford of Jackson- ville, preached nor even because the choir almost faultlessly rendered “Imflammatus,” but mainly because the True Reformers were carrying oul the 4deas of its deceased founder, W. W. Brown, as he evinced them in Rev. Ford's text, “Faith is the sub- stance of things hoped for and evi- dence of things not seen. That gath- ering was only a manifestation of his old faith or putting it in another way it was his faith put in reality, the in- visible. A large collection was taken up and given to the church, choir, Rev. D. E. Over and to Rey. 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 prac- tical, logical and philosophicai ser- mon preached to any body anywhere than came from the lips of Zion Hap- tist Church's pastor Sunday after- noon when he delivered the aunuai sermon to the I. G. A. It was more of an intellectual, spiritual and moral feast of science, and life applied to yur knotty problems of today. He reasoned from the known to the un- known, from the material to the im- material so well and so plainly put his illustrations that one not knowing would be led to believe he was talk ing to children. The L G. A. stands fo- 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, phy- sienl and spiritual life. Verily it is he 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, “Ke 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 |. G. A. must measure ‘up to this standard individually from the highest to the lowest and includ- ing 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 ‘eemed to catch the inspiration. The nixed quartette sang very beautiful ind 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 tue 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 banauet by the Howard Alumni and ex-Student Society. Mr. Cooper was one of the prominent wittists on that oceasion, It was very unfortunate that the error occurred. The Colorado delegation from West- ern University arrived Saturday after- noon, 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 falled to se- cure, MASONS BASKET PICNIC DLUUMPICLD FAN ie Ss Th Ea HH EL HE alale Ean Edel Ho Wa Front Elevation of Proposed Masonic Temple according to Plan Submitted by Architect F.C.

Some People Owe and Can’t Pay—Let All Such Write so We Can Come to an Understanding. Some People Neglect to Pay though Able to Do So—To These We Say “By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them.” Some People CAN PAY and WON’T-- These are DEADBEATS whom we shall collect from as best we can. 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 ef- forts 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 ou customers is necessary to our suc- cess. 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 will- ing to pay and cannot, we wish it to bz thoroughiy understood that we will agree t oany reasonable request for time.

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. Thrifty Afro-American Town. The Farmers and Merchants' Bank of Boley, Okla., was organized and set to work by T. M. Haynes of Detroit, Tex., and D. J. Turner, whom he invited into partnership. The bank has a paid up capital stock of $10,000 and over a thousand dollars surplus. Boley is the largest exclusively Negro town in the United States. TWO JIM'S ..Social Club..

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.

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 inci- dent mentioned in this paper wherein W. T. Vernon, register of the U. S. Treasury, and some Southern con- gressmen came into disagreement over the former eating in the Capitol cafe. The article was skillfully col- ored 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 ful accord with the comment coming from white papers on the incident. ‘The facts were so monstrously misrepre- sented in the press that our Eastern correspondent tells us that they were “unimitgated 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 misrep- resentation i nthe white press. There- fore, when Register Vernon is accus ed of having thrust himself upon the white customers of the Capitol cafe contrary to Washington custom, and is further accused of having maue an abject apology for so doing when Universe, 1 was tie part ut wwe Negro press to examine facts closely before singing the song of the white sensation mongler. Now that the re turns are all in and no foundation of fact is found in the matter, Speaker Cannon having told the Southerners in language more emphatic than polit 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 news- paper to fall short of its high calling. {t is generally believed that Booker T. Washington is the controlling genius in the Age and shapes its poli cies in matters of polities and race leadership. If he is the man behind the throne, and this cowardly fabrica- tion received his endorsement, we are disappointed. The Statesman has at all times insisted that Mr. Washing. ton 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 small. er man than we thought. If he is not he mav as well realize first as last that his connection with the New York Age isiso generally accepted as a fact, and the attitude of the Age toward Register eVrnon is so das: tardly, that he can only clear himsel! of the charge of collusion by speaking out. This is not time for silence More than anv other man, or all ether men, Prof. Vernon represents the Negroes of the West. Mr. Washinton ig accepted by us as a leader of merit but if he will not be content for us te be loyal to men of our own section who are in sympathy with us, he mav ag well learn early as late, that he falls short of our ideal and we wil’ stand or fall with our own. Mr. Wash- ington visited this city some ten years ago and suffered the indignity of hav- 1HE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Why help pay big | rent?

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 re- ception 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 dopth precluded their boing popular Their sterling truth tickled no fancies but their directness drove home a les: son that will bear fruit in many lives We hope to produce for our readers at some time in the future his impres- sions 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 loeal agent. The Inter-Graduate Association has done the community a distinct serv- ice in getting him to come here, and we regret that all Denver could not hear him. oS ere ern, .

We call attention to the fact that lots of our boys are ont of school, many dte here from school and the majority of them want employment. The parents and friends ought to get them into some kind of work, how- ever 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 retnrn to school and what ou ex pect of him and if you show the man YOU are really in earnest he will help von. 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 resi- dents become “boosters” of the young students and see what wonderful re- sults 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.
