FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society OFFICIAL REPORT STATE FEDERATION OF CLUBS OFFICIAL The sixth annual convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs of Colorado and Wyoming held a most successful session at Cheyenne, Wyoming, in Carnegie Library auditorium, June 23, 1909. The Searchlight Club of Cheyenne proved itself equal to the occasion in its entertainment of the convention. Not one feature was overlooked. The reception at the depot was most cordial, the hearty and sincere welcome was manifest everywhere. The auditorium was tastefully decorated with flags, ferns and rare potted plants. The motto, "To the Stars Through Difficulties," was portrayed to the audience in blue and white and lent its inspiration to the convention. First Day. Promptly at 9:30 a.m. the meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. L. M. Froman. Devotional exercises were conducted by Mrs. Dorcas Watson. The Federation song, of former years, "Onward and Upward to the Summit," was sung with spirit and enthusiasm. The committee on credentials retired. Roll was called. Twenty-six clubs were represented by forty-six delegates. Minutes of last meeting were read and approved. Minutes of executive meeting held in Denver Aril 8th and meetings in Cheyenne June 22, at Baptist church, were read and approved. Adjournment. Dinner and supper were served in the A. M. E. church. Unlimited praise is due committee for manner in serving meals. The menu at each meal was of the best the market affords and the manner in which the 46 delegates were handled during meal hours was unique. Afternoon Session of First Day. Reports of clubs showed excellent and substantial condition of each. Devotional exercises were conducted by Mrs. Brown of Colorado Springs. A new Federation song, composed by Mrs. J. S. Young of Pueblo, was presented and sung heartily. Mrs. Hargroves of the Colored Orphanage of Pueblo told of the work already accomplished and hopes of the future. The Federation decided to encourage this work and voted the matter to each club for its individual support. Talks were made by Mrs. Prielow, Miss Thistle, H. C. Jefferson, Chaplain Prielow and others. Such encouraging and helpful remarks will long be remembered by convention. Communications were received from Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, first president of the Federation, now honorary president, at present employed as excellent paper. The press was so delighted with this production that a request was made to print it in the daily papers. Recitation by Miss Mattie Aldrich was well received. The solo by Mrs. Lizzie Brown, "Nearer My God to Thee," reached every heart in the audience. Memorial Hour, in memory of departed ones, was a sad hour. Tribute was paid to Mr. Hargrove, Charles Jackson, Mrs. Crosswhite, Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Starkey by Mesdames Flemming, Lennox, Bowers and Franklin. Mrs. M. E. Morrison conducted the devotional exercises. Adjournment. Devotional ed by Mrs. I Song, "Onwam mit," "The in the Home" ed. The gave cussion. The solos by Miss Lillian Jefferson and Miss K. Thistle showed rare technique; both were encored. These young ladies typify the greatest possibilities of the race. They are not only a credit to relatives and friends but to the race.

The art display was the best and greatest exhibit of any previous year. The first prize was awarded Taka Art Club, Denver, Mrs. D. Williams, presi- teacher at Frankfort, Ky. This was filled with words of greeting and encouragement. An invitation was also received from the California Federation to the Colorado Federation to meet with them in August. Mrs. Eva Carter Buckner, formerly a member of the Colorado Federation, now residing in California, sent greetings. Solo by Mrs. G. J. Badgett, La Junta. Report of Department Chairman. Report of state officers. Rescue fund, $75.00. Adjournment. Evening Session. Music. Federation song. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Jones, pastor of A. M. E. church, Chevenne. "Welcome Address on Behalf of the Citizens of Cheyenne" was delivered by Hon. B. B. Brooks, governor of Wyoming. The address showed the master mind, also the Christian heart and the largeness of soul and purpose of the man. Miss K. Thistle extended welcome on behalf of the people of Cheyenne. Miss B. Lena Hopkins extended a word of greeting on behalf of the club women of Cheyenne. Both addresses were gems of literature to an appreciative audience. Mrs. W. A. Gatewood's charming response was read with telling effect by Mrs. E. B. Butler, first vice-president. Mrs. L. M. Froman, president, delivered her annual address in such a manner to receive unstinted praise, his excellency, the governor, being loud in his commendation of her magnificent address. Mrs. Leone Basefield being absent, Mrs. M. E. Dishman, chorister of Shorter's A. M. E. church, delighted the audience with solo and encore. "Cavalina from Robert Le Diable" was sung by Mrs. E. F. Landor in a charming manner; she responded with encore. The meeting adjourned for reception in the hall. The Searchlight members acted as hostesses for the evening and served dainty refreshments.

State Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania Opens New Building For Aged Members of the Order at Linglestown With Impressive Ceremonies. The dedication with religious and Masonic ceremonies of the new Masonic home for the aged and indigent members of the order at Linglestown, Pa., the other day was a notable event in the history and progress of the order. The new building, which has just been completed, is located on a slight elevation at the junction of the Linglestown and Rockville roads, on a farm consisting of sixty-four acres of fertile land. There are under cultivation two acres in wheat, ten acres in corn, fifteen acres in oats and twelve acres in potatoes. There is also a large apple and peach orchard of over 100 trees. The grand lodge of Pennsylvania is worthy of congratulation, for there are few secret orders among Afro-Americans of similar object and aim which have hewn close to the line of ritualistic duty. The arrangements were in charge of the executive committee, composed of Joseph L. Jones, chairman; J. P. Scott, secretary; William H. Miller, J. Q. Adams and George W. Phillips. The grand lodge of the state, the uniformed Knights Templars, several representatives of the blue lodges and ladies' auxiliaries were in attendance. The local Masonic lodges formed on South street, in front of the clubrooms, and marched in solid phalanx to Market square, led by the Steelton band. The grand commandery was led by Most Eminent Past Commander Philip W. Edwards of Philadelphia. The state grand lodge followed in full regalia, led by Grand Marshal J. M. Auter of Harrisburg. Chosen Friends' lodge, No. 43, and St. James' commandery were next in line. Chosen Friends' lodge was commanded by Master J. H. Baker. One of the most important features of the dedicatory ceremonies was the oration delivered by W. Justin Carter of Harrisburg, Pa., which was in part as follows: Sublime and sacred forever is the place where man's devotion in generous sacrifice lays down his offering for man. Memory clings to it, love enshrines it and gratitude hallows it for all time. Exalted and supreme among the world's great are they who come lifting up the fallen, succoring the weak, healing the bruised and comforting the afflicted, for they come titled and anointed by a sovereignty ruling from on high. Right to Live Means Growth. Students at Wilberforce University Hear Brilliant Educator Tell of the Ethics of Life The Individual and Society Must Co-operate. Among the many charming addresses delivered by eminent educators to the graduating classes at the various universities, colleges and high schools for Afro-Americans we select the following, which was delivered to the students and graduates of Wilberforce university, Ohio, at the recent commencement exercises by Professor William A. Joiner, who is the professor of Latin at Howard university, Washington. Professor Joiner said: Everywhere in the world is going on a fierce and never ending conflict between two contending forces, the one constructive, tending to build up, to develop, to increase, the other destructive, working as incessantly to tear down and destroy. This implacable contest is limited neither in time nor place, but is everywhere eternally existent. Arrayed on the one side are the elements that make for life and development, for growth and progress; on the other, those which terminate in death, disintegration and decay. Midway between the two are the elements of conservation, inert and sluggish, constituting a barrier in the path of either force, the ever present resistance to change. Viewed from the purely physical side, this struggle is interesting and is evident in the formation, mutation and final destruction of the various land forms which make up the terrestrial habitat of man and of the myriad of lesser creatures. The Bible proclaims (Ecclesiastes vii, 12), "The excellence of knowledge is that wisdom giveth life to them that have it." The purpose of the present paper is to investigate a few of the simpler conditions upon which the right to live may be predicated. The first, last and all absorbing desire of every living creature under normal conditions is to live and next to keep on living. Life may be thought of and treated as an individual existence, a thing apart, affecting only its possessor. Considered in this form all rights are absolute and unrelated, and Dryden's dictum, "All things have an equal right to live," may hold good. But the individual is far more likely to live as a part of a community, and he must then live in relation to others. M. B. PROFESSOR WILLIAM A. JOINER. Here immediately his unrelated right vanishes, for his right cannot override the equal right of others and must give way before every superior right. One must differentiate between the right to life and the right to live. The barnacle fixed to objects the su- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. perior usuriness of which it impairs, forfeits its right to live, and the destruction of the lesser for the preservation of the greater is justified. Apply these principles to man and his institutions, testing their right to live by the same rules and standards. The individual human being has a right to his own life, but his right to live involves due regard for the rights of others, self maintenance as his minimum contribution to the social welfare. It involves a contribution both by himself and his posterity to the progress of the social whole and an increment to the civilization of which he is a part. To enable man to make a fitting contribution to the social whole and therefore have a full right to live is the fundamental purpose of institutions of civilization, the school, the church, the state. The right of an individual to live in a community is determined by his social efficiency, which in turn is largely dependent upon the knowledge he acquires, the physical power he develops and the spirit he maintains toward his fellow men. Society must care for the individual during his unavoidably helpless period, and the individual must in turn care for society when he has reached the period of responsibility. He who makes himself a barnacle and a parasite, hindering the function and sapping the substance of the community, forfeits his right to live therein, and no sickly sentiment should keep him there, while he who contributes to its material, moral or intellectual uplift earns for himself the right to live in the community, and no force or fraud or power of foolish prejudice should be suffered to molest him or to drive him out. To die for one's country and one's belief is a high and holy privilege, but to live for one's home, his civilization, his religion and mankind is a higher duty and a nobler right. The individual who abuses the body, that temple of divine spirit, who weakens its power, destroys its vigor or corrupts its organism forfeits his right to live in posterity, for he has no right to transmit the blighting influence of his physical deformities to future generations as a clinging curse. As with individuals, so with institutions, societies, races and nations. To earn the right to live all must depart from evil and cleave to that which is good. The society that is self centered to the extent that it gives nothing to the community from which it draws its sustance, the institutions which returns no benefit to the public that supports it, the corporation, league or union that brings no blessing to the body politic through which and under which its existence is made possible—all these are parasites and barnacles and forfeit their right to live. Societies must earn their right to live through their beneficent contributions to the community of which they form a part; institutions must turn out products that raise the level of the people among whom they work; governments must protect and benefit the tolling millions upon whose shoulders they rest or they must perish from the face of the earth. New Bank Opened at Dallas. The opening of the Penny Savings bank at Dallas, Tex., the other day was an interesting event. The board of directors had previous to the opening day issued invitations to the people of Dallas and vicinity to be present, and they came in large numbers. Each visitor was requested to register his name and address in a book which was provided for that purpose. "Without some money and some property there is but little appreciation for our people. This is the day of accumulation," said the directors to the people. The three ranking officers of the bank are Dr. G. I. Jackson, president; B. R. Bluett, cashier, and M. C. Cooper, vice president. Successful Religious Bodies. Much gratification is expressed over the success which attended the annual meetings of the New England Baptist Sunday school convention and the woman's auxiliary to the New England Baptist missionary convention, which were held in Boston recently. The annual financial reports of each showed that a splendid work had been done for home and foreign missions, education and large gains in membership. New Foreign Mission Circle. Women of the Union Baptist Church at Montclair Show Their Faith by Their Works—Rev. J. C. Love's Executive Ability. By Miss LOUISE B. ELLIOTT. In order that they might do more effective work for home and foreign missions the women of the Union Baptist church of Montclair, N. J., have organized themselves into a society to be known as the Women's Missionary circle and have as their motto "The World For Christ." Under the leadership of Mrs. Malvina Hampton as president the circle has built up a membership of nearly a hundred loyal women who are doing a splendid work for the cause of missions, besides exerting a beneficent influence [Image of a man wearing a hat and a dark shirt, with a serious expression.] MISS NANNIE C. LEE. upon the community. The speakers at the recent financial rally which was held by the circle in the interest of foreign missions were the Rev. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board at Louisville, Ky.; Revs. Talliaferro, Vaughn and J. C. Love, pastor of the above named church. The needs of the mission fields were so clearly outlined by these eminent men that the members of the missionary circle resolved, among other things, to thoroughly equip themselves for their work and have recently organized a class for the study of mission work in relation to Africa and another class in Bible study with particular reference to the home field. The circle has also joined the state union missionary convention of New Jersey. Miss Nannie C. Lee, secretary of the Women's Missionary circle, is a young woman of more than ordinary ability, in whom the circle fully confides. In the various departments of church work Miss Lee is always to be seen in the foremost ranks. She also takes an active part in other organizations and social circles not connected with the church, which makes her influence doubly helpful. Another worker for the uplift of the people of the community is Mrs. Frances Cook, who is the treasurer of the circle. Mrs. Cook is well known and highly respected by the people, and with her loyal devotion to the interest of the race much good is being accomplished in a quiet way. Miss Louise B. Elliott is the vice president. She says: "I believe that the message which was PAGE. 10. given to the women on the resurrection morning has passed down the centuries to the women of today and that it is our duty to see to it that its progress is not retarded. Africa is con- ```markdown ``` REV. J. C. LOVE. B. D. stantly sending out the Macedonian cry of the Apostle Paul's time, "Come over and help us!" We must either go or send some one in our stead, and to that end we must strive diligently." The Rev. Mr. Love, pastor of the church, is also the organizer and president of the missionary board of the state. He is a man well qualified by experience and education to represent the great Baptist interest of New Jersey. He understands its needs and knows how to get the best results under the new organized system of operation with the Afro-American churches of the state. When Rev. Mr. Love took charge of the Union Baptist church at Montclair ten years ago the membership had dwindled to a mere handful, and the financial condition of the church was serious. Within the past seven years he has lifted the mortgage, built up the membership 500 strong, improved the property and given the church an enviable place among the Baptist brotherhood of the state. The women of the circle had as their guest and one of the speakers at the recent reception Mrs. F. Talbot of Buffalo, N. Y. Political Independence. There is a growing spirit of independence among the younger element of Negroes, which is a hopeful sign of the future for the Negro politically. The tendency of our fathers to pose as martyrs to the cause of the G. O. P. while white demagogues in that party had working agreements with their political opponents which enabled them to swap votes for certain offices, using the Negro as a pawn in their desperate game, will not be so pronounced in the future state and national campaigns. The young Negro is going "to play ball" when the political season opens again, and he will certainly make some political leaders sit up and take notice. Negroes are slow but apt scholars. Race Question Sidestopped. The prevailing opinion that President Taft has sidestepped the Negro question seems to be not wholly without foundation. Well, the race that can stand 250 years of the most damnable bondage that ever cursed a world and four years of civil war will survive the perfidy of a political party. The Negro is one of the permanent races. He will not disappear, reports of his enemies to the contrary notwithstanding. Dallas Express. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Prompt Service --- NTING NGRAVING NKLIN Reasonable Prices Ave. and Clarke Story of the Rise of B.O.Davis Military Career of a Washington High School Boy Who Saw Service at the Front and Rose to First Lieutenant In U. S. Army. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. First Lieutenant Benjamin Oliver Davis, Tenth United States cavalry, who has been spending a few days in Washington, his old home, enjoys the distinction of being the first colored man to rise from the ranks and secure a commission in the regular army. The honor is even greater because Lieutenant Davis won his commission as an officer by passing the rigid examination prescribed by the war department for those who want to be officers. These examinations are extremely difficult, comprising, among other subjects, a thorough test in higher mathematics. Being a graduate of the M street high school of Washington, Lieutenant Davis had before entering the army a good foundation from an educational standpoint, and US FIRST LIEUTENANT B. O. DAVIS the work of fitting himself for the officers' examination was only a question of application. The story of his military career is indeed full of thrilling narrative and is even colored with romance. As a captain of a schoolboy company he first caught the inspiration and professed an ardent love for military life. About the time of his graduation from the high school the Spanish-American war broke out. He immediately got busy and soon connected himself with an officer who was raising a regiment of "immunes." He rendered valuable services in organizing this volunteer regiment and was commissioned a lieutenant. When the war ended his regiment was mustered out. But the military ardor was still burning high, and the lieutenant in the volunteer army re-enlisted in the regular army as a private. There were sneers and expressions of deep disgust among some of his associates, but Davis was not to be halted or discouraged. He was fired with the military ambition and was soon promoted to the post of regimental sergeant. By hard study he soon prepared himself for the commissioned officers' examination, passed THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. with honor and secured the much coveted prize. He has seen service and has been in several engagements in the Philippines. He was a victim of the fever and hovered between life and death in the army hospital. He has seen service in the far west along the frontier where the Indians became unruly at times. In Fort Washakie, Wyo., he married the sweetheart of his youth, who journeyed from Washington city to wed her military hero, who had just returned from the orient. Fort Duquesne and Fort Robinson are among the forts where he has been stationed For the past three years he has been at Wilberforce university as military instructor of the Negro youth of that celebrated school. In a few weeks he will rejoin his regiment of cavalry at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., where no doubt he will be stationed during the summer. Lieutenant Davis, like Shakespeare's Othello, loves the "tented field." He looks every inch the soldier. Of good height, erect carriage, he is a happy medium, being neither tall nor stocky. He rides his steed with dignity becoming an officer of his rank. The young men at Wilberforce say they will miss him sadly when he leaves, but the enlisted men of the Tenth cavalry will hail with delight his return to them. Business Men Getting Together. The Afro-American business men of Dallas and Fort Worth, Tex., are planning to run an excursion from the two cities above mentioned Aug. 2. The run will include the principal towns in Oklahoma, which will take about ten days. The fare for the round trip, including sleeping car accommodations and board, will be $30.90. The special train will be made up of chair, tourist, sleeper and combination dining cars. The promoters are the Rev. C. L. McPherson, Dr. J. T. Welsh and E. W. D. Welsh. Major Taylor's Victory. Friends of Major Taylor in the United States are rejoicing over the major's victory in the ten mile race at the Buffalo velodrome in Paris a few days ago. The major has a world wide reputation as being one of the best trained and swiftest cyclists that has ever mounted a wheel. Negro and Alien Laborers. In the course of his address at the recent commencement exercises of the public schools at Washington the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, internal revenue collector for the Second district of New York, said: "As to the recent strike in the south, let me say that I am sorry for any white man who tries to supplant a colored laborer with an alien. The primary reason for that belief is that the colored laborer buys more and better food and clothing than the alien. He buys better shoes, better clothes; he buys plenty of good food, for his market basket of a Saturday night is heaped with good things to eat. What he earns, too, is spent in this country. He does not hoard it up and then one day move back to the old country to spend it." Women's Clubs to Meet at Springfield. The Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs will hold its annual meeting with the clubs at Springfield, Mass., beginning Wednesday, Aug. 25. Mrs. Alice W. Wiley of Brooklyn, N.

Glory's crown of glory is love, charity, benevolence and service shining through the record of valiant deeds. Eulogy attests it from the lips of Rome's greatest orator. "Fortune could do no more for you than to give you the W. JUSTIN CARTER. power of serving so many people, nor could nature serve you better than giving you the will to do it," declaimed Cicero in praise of Caesar. Religion proclaims it from the pen of inspiration. "Pure religion," says the prophet, "and undefiled before God and the Father is this—to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted before the world." He who asked, "Am I my brother's keeper?" had his brother's blood upon him, and he was answered with a curse. "Who was neighbor to this man?" asked the Saviour of the world, and the parable of the good Samaritan became a fixed star in the firmament of duty. In humanity's name and for humanity's cause we have brought our offering to the altar of a sublime and gracious service, and let us bring also that consecration of purpose and that loving spirit of kindness which shall cause this gift of our hearts and our sacrifice to be seen and accepted by him who, loving the humble and the weak, made the blind to see and the lame to walk, comforted the afflicted and fed the hungry, that through its ever increasing good we shall discern his vigilant care and his gracious favor and that on these grounds forevermore tottering old age shall find support, the widow peace in her afflictions and the orphan cheer, protection and succor in his days of need. Let us push forward with ever increasing zeal the work here so auspiciously begun. Let us strive to open wider and ever wider the portals of this asylum and increase its usefulness and service by the coming and going of the years. Here let toll bring the tribute of its labor, here let prosperity share the plenitude of its blessings, here let sacrifice bring its humble offering, for it let enthusiasm keep its fire aflame, upon it let love pour out its devotion, and, that it may endure, let prayer implore ever the benedictions of heaven. And if recompense be required or sought find it in the proud consciousness of duty done, in the rich golden promise of youth saved to faith, religion and duty, in the contentment you shall put upon the brow of misery, in the strength you may impart to decrepitude, in the sunshine of her face who was left in loneliness, age and poverty; find it in the approbation of heaven, which ever wraps with sunshine and guards with angels the place where love keeps watch over misery. He who builds a house can see to the end and behold on the architect's draft the finished structure, but he who saves a child, gives a crust to a stranger, restores health to the afflicted or revives a soul that is dying with despair may be pushing forward an immeasurable beneficence or helping to shape the destiny of a nation. The marvels of the past foreshadow the strange possibilities of the future. If the saved waif of today holds tomorrow the bright hope of the future in his hands, what pray, is the glory of that one who THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. plucked him from the shores of the evil way? We love success. Must we not bear the toll which wins it? We love knowledge. Can we escape the drudgery which brings it? We love valor. Can we shirk its path of danger? Victory comes only after battle. The parallelism continues—for love there is sacrifice, for honor there is duty, for reward there is service—and wisely has it been so ordained, for who loves the brave "but for the dangers they have passed?" Who admires wisdom but for the things they have heard, seen and thought? The happiness of the good is the remembrance of joys conferred, and the peace of the blessed is the rest which follows the struggle and the rapture for victories won. But not the individual alone, but nations, too, need the sustaining and vitalizing power of virtue and character. BISHOP LAMPTON'S DENIAL Ignorant of Alleged Story of His Being Forced to Leave Home. Bishop E. W. Lampton of the African Methodist Episcopal church passed through Washington recently and stopped over a few hours with friends. He was returning from a session of the bishop's council, which was held at Wilberforce, O., immediately after the commencement exercises of Wilberforce university. When asked about the report that he had been given five hours to leave his home in Greenville, Miss., because of a controversy between his daughter and a telephone operator Bishop Lampton said: "You will no doubt be surprised to know that I myself knew nothing of the matter until one of my friends showed me a clipping from the Cincinnati Enquirer. That was after my arrival at Wilberforce. I had been making a fight on the floor of the council for the holding of the next general conference of the denomination in the central south. The city that gets the conference generally makes about $50,000, as there are many delegates and the conference continues in session for several weeks. You can imagine my surprise when on taking my seat I was handed the newspaper containing an account of the alleged trouble. The facts are these: I left my home in Greenville, Miss., at 10:30 a. m. Saturday, June 12, in company with Rev. E. E. Wittenberg, Rev. J. J. Morant, Professor W. D. Gary and my daughter, en route to Wilberforce, O., to attend the bishop's council and the Wilberforce commencement. I have had no knowledge of a mob or mob violence, as was contained in the newspaper reports. I fear my people in the south as well as myself are being misrepresented." HIGH MORAL STANDARD URGED The Race Need Have No Fears—Oley the Law, Mind Your Own Business. While it may seem to many of our people that times are getting more critical and the condition of the race in the United States more serious in regard to their citizenship, no one need be alarmed. The question of whether America shall exist half free and half slave has been settled long ago. Obey the law, be industrious, make friends of the friendly, engage in business, get money, education and property, work for a high moral standard among the masses, follow good leaders, defend the right and denounce the wrong, live clean, chaste lives, mind your own business, say less, do more, and all will be well.—Dodson.

AN Denver, Colo AN HONOR TO THEIR RACE. Young Afro-Americans Who Show Capacity For Higher Education. At the commencement exercises of the girls' high school in Brooklyn a few nights ago City Superintendent of Schools William H. Maxwell appealed to the graduate and the Alumnae association to use their influence to defeat the revised city charter when it comes before the state legislature next fall. The particular clause in the charter to which Dr. Maxwell objects is the one which favors the vesting of certain powers which the board of education now has in the mayor of the city and the board of estimate. This, Dr. Maxwell believes, will prove a menace to the present public school system. The June class consisted of 165 young women. Miss Vera Lee, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wesley Lee of 466 Myrtle avenue, was the only Afro-American in the class. With the graduation of Miss Lee and the [Pictorial portrait of a woman with a headband, wearing a light-colored dress with a high collar. The background is a decorative frame with ornamental designs.]] MISS VERA LEE. appointment of the Misses Amelia Howard and Edith Powell to teachers' positions and the recent graduation of Miss Ruby K. Booker from the commercial course of the Brooklyn Young Women's Christian association and Mr. Clarence Mayo from the boys' high school our young people of Brooklyn have again demonstrated their capacity for higher education. Miss Lee, who is also an honor graduate of the grammar school, received honors in chemistry, making the high average of 98.5. While a pupil in the grammar school Miss Lee made a brilliant record and upon her graduation received state honors in algebra, zoology, physiology, botany and Latin. On account of her congeniality and industry at the high school Miss Lee won the highest esteem of her teachers and was a great favorite among her classmates. Aside from her school studies she finds time for church and Sunday school work and is now pursuing the regular teacher training course under Miss Fannie M. Perkins at the Concord Baptist Sunday school. Miss Lee expects to take up the study of medicine this fall. Will Be Popular, No Doubt.

They will return by the way of Omaha, stopping there a few days and visiting friends, and thence to Denver to take their apartments in a snugly fitted up cottage on South Logan. The Statesman congratulates the young man and sincerely wishes the couple all possible happiness. Miss Myrtle Brown, who is a school teacher and stenographer for the K. of P. in Kansas City, Mo., is the guest of Mrs. Hall of 1854 Pearl street. The reason that Dr. T. E. McClain was all over smiles, was because his wife and the twins arrived safely Wednesday. His mother-inlaw accompanied them here.

Sentinel; Miss Lula Harkness, Guide, and Mrs. Peach, Worthy Chaplain; Jerry Steele, M. T., and George G. Ross, W. S. T. J. R. Hanger visited Colorado Springs on the Fourth of July. The funniest play ever composed by any Denverite was recently composed by Joshua D. Rice, president of the Epworth League of Scott M. E. church. He has named it "One Too Many for Him." It is very, very funny and all the members are trying to get Mr. Rice to produce it at the church. Mesdames Clara B. Franklin and Clara Harden are visiting in Glenwood Springs during the Fourth of July festivities. Mrs. Fisher, niece of Mrs. Hall of Pearl street, gave a swell luncheon to a party of visiting friends from Kansas City, Mo., at 2344 Tremont Place Tuesday night.

E. church Tuesday morning. This will be the meeting place for the next month. The Rev. W. R. Owen, D. D., president of State University, Louisville, Ky., who is here for his health, was introduced and expressed himself as being delighted with the city and the Union: The Rev. Davis will remain in these parts for the summer and will fill the various pulpits in the city from time to time. The Rev. A. E. Reynolds reported a splendid service Sunday. It was an occasion of a rally among his own members. He reports that they raised with very little effort $86.50. All the members were taxed and all paid with the exception of two. What a splendid record! The Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell, the new pastor of the People's Presbyterian church, was introduced and made a strong speech on Church Unity. This speech made a deep impression upon his hearers. The Rev. J. B. Beckham. A. B., read a very well prepared paper on "The Pastor in His Study." It showed scholarship preparation and consecration on the part of the reverend. The paper brought out quite a discussion which was very helpful in every particular. A communication was read from the Rev. Bray of Phoenix. Ariz., stating that he would be delighted to be the guest of the Union on July 27th at their annual picnic and speak before that august body. The Rev. Bishop A. Grant will be the guest of the ministers on this occasion. The Rev. A. M. Ward has returned from his vacation trip down in Missouri. He is looking the picture of health. A large audience greeted him Sunday to welcome him home again. A little rest with a well worked servant of the Most High goes a long way towards lengthening his days of usefulness. The Rev. Dr. Randolph pastored Shorter very acceptably during Rev. Ward's absence. --- DENVER ITEMS Mrs. U. G. Brown, one of the teachers in Shorter Sunday school, entertained her class at Elitch's on the Fourth. The Miss Bennetts of Topeka, Kan., who are guests of Rev.

Her long residence here and her personal worth made her well known to many and her illness and death cause general regret. She was cared for tenderly in her last days by her sisters, Mrs. Conley and Mrs. Robinson from Aspen, but in vain. The funeral services were held from Zion church, of which she was a member, yesterday afternoon. Undertaker Lawborn having charge of the arrangements. The floral offerings were beautiful. Amid sorrowing relatives and friends she was laid to rest in Fairmount cemetary. In her death Denver loses one of the strong, sturdy types of colored womanhood who have done much to make possible the progress of which the race boasts. She was a good citizen and a property owner. Peace, everlasting peace, to her ashes! The new officers installed in Damon Lodge No. 5, knights of Pythias, are C. A. Franklin, chancellor commander; P. D. Porter, vice chancellor; W. A. Rice, keeper of records and seal; C. S. Muse, master of finance; J. R. Contree, master of exchequer; C. W. Young, prelate; W. H. Lee, master at arms; Mesars. Douglas and Cole, inner and outer guard. The double tragedy wherein Wm. Hughes, the expressman, killed Miss Gussie Green, formerly of Memphis, at Twentyfirst and Arapahoe streets, Saturday shocked the community. The cause of the killing is unknown. The principal facts are that Hughes shot her five times without her resisting, and then fled to his home where he killed himself at the time that the officers were trying to get to him to capture him. Officer Baker was the first on the scene. The Douglas Undertaking company has charge of his funeral, which will take place from his residence tomorrow, 3417 Humboldt street. Her remains were shipped to Tennessee by the coroner.

THE MISSING MAN The directors of the Negro Townsite & Land Co. met at Zion Baptist church July 6th, 1909, and submitted to the subscribers and those that are interested in their new adventure, their findings in Adams county, 65 miles northeast of Denver. Rev. Over and Rev. A. M. Ward made some brilliant remarks in the progress the directors had made and desired that the Negroes would help push this project, as it was the only thing for the Negro to do to gain recognition in all pursuits of life. The books were then opened for subscribers to pay on subscription. Amount raised was $136. Meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the board of directors. O. T.

Separating Sheep from the Goats Some People Pay-This Is Not Meant for Them. 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 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.

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.

When the last word is said about tariff, the average American feels deep down in his heart that his own personal comfort, his own ability to buy good food and clothing, is the real test whether the tariff is too high or too low. It was the distinct impression of the American people that Congress, if Republican, would cut down the cost of living through new tariff enactments. If this is not done, whatever arguments may be advanced to explain why not, it will be hard for the Republican party to stand forth as "toting fair." If Colorado congressmen in the protection of the industries peculiar to this state, raise the price of them to the rest of the country, and we Coloradoans in turn suffer from the rapacity of Pennsylvania and Georgia and California, the election promise of the Republican party is broken and the party will be justly criticised. Roosevelt and the big stick were terrors to Congress when the people were with the doughy lion hunter, and Taft and his quiet strength will be sufficient to bring to pass the fulfillment of his promise, if he will but act, for the people do favor revision downward. NEXT GENERAL CONFERENCE. Kansas City is to be the scene of the next General Conference of the A. M. E. church. It won out over Memphis, which was second choice, the place being left to the Fifth Episcopal District. Los Angeles was also placed in nomination by Rev. Frank Peck, formerly of this city. St. Louis was a mild contender. The Colorado delegates to the recent convention in Kansas City where the matter was settled are jubilant. Rev. Ward is home from the meeting.

An Albuquerque correspondent reports to us unusual success in the rally recently held in the Mt. Olivet Baptist church of that city of which Rev. A. H. Henderson is pastor. One thousand sixty-six dollars and eighty-five cents was raised at this rally, which together with the $300 raised last June, puts the work of building the church well on its way. In the conduct of the rally the pastor was assisted by Rev. Bell of Douglas, Ariz., who has a great reputation in money raising and missionary church work in the two territories. At the close of the rally the ladies and friends gave a reception in honor of the two ministers of which Mrs. Vance Green was chairman of the committee on arrangements. This work in Albuquerque is only part of the great awakening of the Baptists of that section for there are now eleven churches in the territories.

BANQUET GREATEST YET HAD. © It was on last eee night that the I. G. A. went om révord for having the liveliest, best and more real social enjoyment at the banquet than has yet been exeprienced. It was a marvel and certainly passes a flattering com- pliment on the incoming administra- tion headed by Mr. Spencer Smithea. The following colleges, high school and other schools were represented: Howard, Fisk, Lincoln, Columbia, Ar- mour, Oberlin, Wilberforce Shaw, Chi- cago University, Bast Denver and Man- ual Training and Colorado Springs High schools, Tuskegee, Meharry, Wal- don, Taladega, Western University and Topeka Industrial school. The gathering was fine, speaking great and entertainment superb. College yells and cat-calls galore. The following program was rendered. Toastmaster, Dr. P. E. Spratlin; Welcome address to 1909 graduates, Attorney Geo. G. Ross; response, by Miss Marguerite Jackson; “Peeps on ‘Peepil’ of Various Kinds and De- grees,” Misses Mabel Andrews and Della Parker; president's annual ad- dress, Miss Nelsine Howard; election and music. The I. G. A. will meet shortly to complete the election of the rest of the officers so that the next meeting in December will be a success.

Doubtless one of the swellest af- tairen given while the Visiting N. E. -A’s are here was given by Mrs. Thrower Thursday night when nearly all of the visiting teachers were out and paid their respects to the occasion. Words fail to express the surprise and delight which was witnessed upon this occasion. Mrs. Thrower has al- ready earned and now enjoys the rep- utetion of being one of the most charming and fascinating entertaners in Denver and all that could be said about her lawn fete Thursday night wast that it was given in the Thrower ‘style and the glory and grandeur is ‘immediately understood. It is need- less to say that a happy evening was ‘experienced, an intellectual and so- cial benefit gained, because at a gath- ering such as hers, this result always obtains. Geo. Young and wife of Omaha have concluded a two weeks’ stay in this city during which they took side trips into the mountains. Dr. Hall spent the early part of the week in Colorado Springs and returned here Tuesday and left Thursday for Omaha, where he will visit with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Young. He was de lighted with Colorado and it may be added that Denver was delighted with him. Considering his national repu- tation as a physician and surgeon, his lack of affectation and general good fellowship made him liked by all who met him. While in Colorado Springs he visited the labaratory of Dr. Webb, the roted investigator. His cordial reception there is made notable by the fact that Mrs. Webb is the daughter nf Jefferson Davis. Dr. Hall has the added interest for Denverites that he was the one who gave substantial en ‘covragement to Dr, Ford in her meé teal school days. Mrs. J. W. Rose of Hartford, Conn., sister of J. J. Houston, is expected here shortly.
