NATIONAL AND STATE MEETINGS OF LEAGUE NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. To Be Held at Louisville, Ky., August 18, 19 and 20, 1909—Fine Program—Side Trip to Mammoth Cave The Ninth Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League, which is to be held at Louisville, in "Old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the league at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprise which this league has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the league's constantly increasing membership. The league welcomes to its membership every man and woman of the race who is engaged or interested in some worthy Negro business enterprise and only a nominal charge of $2 per year is expected from each member, which membership fund is used in prosecuting the work and extending the influence of the organization; this membership fee of $2 also procures for each delegate a badge which entitles the delegate to a seat upon the floor of the convention as well as free admission and service at the annual banquet and at all of the other social functions provided by the local committee for the benefit of delegates. The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for all delegates (a tare and a third, plus 50 cents) the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for all indicate an unusually large attendance. The officers of the Local Negro Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the league and the generous provisions already made for the reception and entertainment of delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality. What promises to be an especially unique and interesting feature on the program is known as "Mississippi Day," which means that one entire day will be given over to the state of Mississippi, whose delegates will discuss and illustrate the phenomenal progress that has been made by Negro men in that state since the eman- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY JULY 17 1909 cipation of the slaves. The program is nearly completed and is being carefully prepared by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary of the National League, who has just returned from Liberia! printed copies will soon be available. Aside from the program proper, an old-fashioned Kentucky barbecue has been arranged and the annual banquet will be held in one of the largest halls of the city. The Louisville city council has generously made a special appropriation toward defraying certain expenses connected with the entertainment of this body, and on Saturday, August 21, a special excursion to Mammoth Cave, (46 miles from Louisville) will be conducted by the Louisville Negro League for the benefit of the delegates, all of whom will doubtless be glad to visit what is universally conceded to be one of the grandest wonders of the world. STATE MEETING To the Members of the Colorado State Negro Business League and Negroes Throughout Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona Who Are Interested in the Material, Moral and Mental Uplift of the Race. Greeting:—The time for holding the fifth annual session of the Colorado State Negro Business League is fixed for July 27-28 and the place changed from Boulder to Denver. Let all the members of the league govern themselves accordingly and be present at the roll call at 10 a.m. on the 27th. There will be much very important business to be attended to at this session, business that will require the best brain and thought of the entire membership. The Negro Townsite company, which was launched by the league at our last session, is now a living reality and a full report will be made at this session. Much remains to be done and great reward awaits those who have a part in the doing. Arizona has had a great commercial awakening and good reports will be presented at our meeting. I leave here on the 19th for a tour in the interest of our league and will speak in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, arriving at Denver in time for the opening session. Let us agitate all along the line and make the Denver meeting the best in the history of the league. Send all communications to W. A. Gatewood, Secretary, 2010 Curtis street, Denver, Colo.

Beckham, field secretary of the National Baptist Convention, was introduced by his brother, the Rev. J. B. Beckham, pastor of Central Baptist church. Rev. Beckham spoke to the delight of all. Evangelist F. D. Douglas of Washington, D. C., who is conducting a series of meetings at Campbell A. M. E. church was introduced by the Rev. W. C. Williams. A spirited revival is in progress at the Campbell church. A committee was appointed to look into some irregularities about the way that our colored undertakers are treated about funerals being conducted in our city. The members of that committee are: Rev. D. E. Over, W. C. Williams and J. N. Wallace. Bishop Grant will be the guest of the Minister's Union August 26th at the City Park. It will be the occasion of their annual outing. The bishop is to be the guest of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society on this same date, and a plan is on foot to have all the missionary societies represented on this occasion. The churches were well attended Sunday. The pastors of the various churches reported good attendances and good collections. Rev. W. R Davis preached at Central Baptist last Sunday night and will preach at Scott's M. E. church Sunday night. The Rev. Davis is in the West to rest up. Shorter Chapel, A. M.

BRUCE Knighted For Work In Connection With African Civilization. John Edward Bruce, the well known newspaper correspondent, who is now the editor of the League Journal at New Rochelle, N. Y., has been appointed knight official of the Liberian Humane Order of African Redemption. The letter bearing the commission to Mr. Bruce is patented and signed by his honor Arthur Barclay, president of the republic of Liberia, and countersigned by F. E. R. Johnson, secretary of state. It is said that this honor is bestowed upon Mr. Bruce as a public testimony of the republic's gratitude to him for his efforts in helping to civilize the inhabitants of the neighboring territory to the republic. Mr. Bruce is [Picture of a man in a suit]. lic. Mr. Bruce is J. E. BRUCE. permitted to use and publicly wear the insignias of the order in the class named. We suppose that Brother Bruce sometimes has visions of a mighty Negro country over the sea somewhere, for he said not long ago. "Some day we will all get together, and then will our echoes roll from soul to soul and grow forever and forever." What if John E. Bruce should be nominated for our next United States minister to Liberia? Negro Soldiers' Fine Showing. At the tercentenary celebration of the discovery of Lake Champlain by Sieur de Champlain at Plattsburg, N. Y., the other day the Twenty-fourth infantry regiment was brought over from Sacketts Harbor to take part in the parade. As it passed the grand stand there were many murmurs about Brownsville. The president was impassive, but the general verdict of the onlookers was that no regiment of regulars of the United States army ever made a smarter and a more soldierly appearance at a review by the president than did those Negro soldiers led by their white officers. They were applauded to the echo. Baptists of the United States. The latest statistics show that there are 5,115,177 regular Baptists in the United States. There are also a dozen other Baptist denominations with a combined membership of 500,000. Of the regular Baptists 2,100,000 are Afro-Americans. IN CONFLICT WITH PARTY. Taft's New Color Line Policy Regarded as Being Unfair and Repugnant. In the war amendments to the constitution the Republican part set forth the reasons for its continued existence after Appomattox. These articles gave the Negro freedom and citizenship, and they specifically safeguarded him against discrimination. Political pains and penalties were devised in the cases of states which disregarded these principles. Several Republican presidential campaigns were fought on this issue, and some of the most conspicuous of Republican chieftains made no stronger claim to popular favor. This traditional policy has found expression with much regularity in the party platforms. In Ohio, Mr. Taft's own state, the Republicans have repeatedly demanded the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment, providing for a reduction of representation in congress and in the electoral college for all states which had disfranchised the Negro. The national Republican platform of last year, on which Mr. Taft was elected, "declared once more and without reservation for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments" and condemned "all devices that have for their real aim disfranchisement for reasons of color alone as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." In furtherance of a southern policy of his own which is in conflict with that of his party, Mr. Taft now openly accepts the southern disfranchisement laws and announces that he will appoint no Negroes to office against the wishes of the whites. No Democrat of whom we have knowledge could more radically take issue with the orthodox Republicanism of the past. Unless we are to believe that machine Republicanism, wholly abandoning principles and ethics, has devoted itself to the spoils of office, how are we to explain the fact that no protest has yet been made to this course by any notable Republican leader or by any conspicuous Republican newspaper? The power of the president is great in any case, but when politicians and newspapers are servile it is magnified many times. Revolutionizing party policy, turning his back upon the most vital of party traditions and practically justifying the nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, with no protest from any Republican, Mr. Taft reveals courage and independence on his own part and submissiveness on the part of his political associates. Admiring the president's spirit, the World Democratically disagrees with the establishment of the new color line, and even the distinguished example of Mr. Taft cannot persuade it to approve of the virtual nullification of the fifteenth amendment. Good as the president's intentions, no doubt, are, it is hardly possible that the course which he has mapped out for himself is to be a finality in American politics.—New York World. THE WORLD GROWING BETTER All Must Join In Worldwide Progress, Says Governor Stubbs. "Every man who thinks this world isn't growing better is out in the backwoods. He doesn't know what he is talking about. There's progress in the air, and it's worldwide. All of you have to take part in it." So said the Hon. W. R. Stubbs, governor of Kansas, in a recent address to 3,000 Afro- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. American men and women in a large tent at the Western university, a school for Afro-Americans at Quindaro, Kan., where the university commencement exercises were held. The assembly included the graduates and the crowd which was present to attend the exercises. Governor Stubbs talked earnestly to the students and urged them to study and strive to become good citizens. "When you get the benefits of a liberal education at the expense of the people of Kansas," he said, "there is a great responsibility resting on you. You can't enjoy all these luxuries without being responsible. It's a mighty good thing for you to study Greek, Latin, philosophy, and so forth, but you should 'learn to do something, to accomplish something and to do it well. I say to you right now that if there's a black man or any other man in this country who is too proud or ashamed to get right down and work with his hands he hasn't right good sense." The Hon. John T. White, state grain inspector of Kansas, also delivered an inspiring address to the graduating class. Progressive Trade School. The Jonesboro Agricultural academy, at Fort Lee, Va., is doing effective work among its students in agriculture, domestic science and the trades. The school has a building which cost $3,000, upon which a third has been paid. It takes $1,000 to run the school through the term, but this sum will be far too small for another year, as more students will be in attendance and more dormitories will be needed to accommodate them. Professor J. W. Moss is the principal of the school and will be pleased to receive voluntary contributions in money or provisions from any one who desires to help along this line. EQUAL PAY FOR BOTH RACES. Georgia Arbitration Board Against Seniority of White Firemen. The award of the Georgia railroad strike arbitration board, which was announced a few days ago, is against the seniority of white firemen over Negroes and provides that the Georgia railroad when using Negroes as firemen, hostlers or hostlers' helpers shall pay them the same wages as white men in similar positions. Arbitrator Hardwick dissented from this. Firemen in the line of promotion to the position of engineer must have three years' experience before being promoted to the position of engineer and are to be promoted in the order of their seniority. If they refuse or fail to pass the first examination they will be reduced to freight service without losing their seniority. Failing on the second examination, they will be reduced to the bottom of the extra list or disposed of as the company desires. Firemen now in the service who are physically incapacitated for service will not be subject to this rule. Mr. Hardwick in a dissenting opinion from the proposition fixing Negroes' wages the same as those of whites said: "In so far as the above finding permits the continued employment of Negro firemen I dissent because I believe from the evidence that such employment is a menace to the safety of the traveling public." The arbitrators, chosen as a result of the recent strike of the white firemen, were ex-Secretary of the Navy Hilary Herbert for the road. Congressman Hardwick for the white firemen and Chancellor Barrow for the Negro firemen. DR. JACOBS' FINE RECORD. Pastor of a Brooklyn Church For Twelve Years A large congregation attended the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion church in Brooklyn, N. Y., the other evening to hear the farewell sermon of the pastor, Dr. F. M. Jacobs, who has served the church for twelve consecutive years, during which time he studied medicine at the Long Island College hospital. After his graduation he practiced medicine in connection with the ministry and was actively interested in public affairs, all of which helped him in his church work and which impressed the conference so that he was returned seven years beyond the time limit, which is the first and longest on record in the denomination. Dr. Jacobs gave as a prelude to his discourse a brief history of his call to the ministry, his pastorates and his work in Fleet Street church as follows: "I began to preach when I was about three years old. On returning home from church I would get up in a chair and tell as much of the sermon as I could remember. In my nineteenth year I felt strongly the call to preach. I began the study of the ministry, and while I was at college in Washington in 1887 I was called to take charge of a church at Baltimore. The house of worship was anything but desirable. At my first service in the morning there were five persons present and at night fifteen. I had a small congregation, but no members. From Baltimore I went to Harrisburg, Pa., thence to Asheville, N. C., and from there to Knoxville, Ky., where I was when I received a telegram from Bishop Hood to come at once to the New York annual conference, which was then in session at Hudson, N. Y., but to stop at Brooklyn and preach at the Fleet Street church if agreeable to the pastor. "I did so and was afterward appointed by the conference in 1897 to the pastorate of the Fleet Street church. I was surprised at the small membership. The church was burdened with a mortgage and debts to the amount of over $7,600 and had no credit. It could not borrow $10. Three weeks after my arrival the gas was turned off. I went down in my own pocket and paid the gas bill and also became responsible for future payments. But, while the work has not been without its heavy burdens, my labors have been pleasant, and I have seen the debt paid. During the twelve years of my administration 800 have been added to the church, 600 children baptized and dedicated to Christ, 22,000 visits made and $69,000 raised for the work of the church." LARGE GRADUATING CLASS. Miss M. R. Williams Won Alumni Medal at Baltimore High School. The twenty-first annual commencement of the Baltimore colored high and training school was held at the Academy of Music at Baltimore a few evenings ago. The exercises were witnessed by a large and appreciative audience. The music was under the direction of Miss Henrietta Baker, one of the public school supervisors of music. The Mandolin club of the school also played selections. The address to the graduates was delivered by Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the college department of Howard university, Washington. It was full of wholesome advice to the graduates. A number of the graduates will con- PAGE. 10. tinue their studies at the college, but the greater part will prepare for teaching at the Teachers' Training school. Baltimore. Professor Joseph H. Lockerman is principal of the school, which has twenty teachers and over 500 students. Besides the high school studies, instruction is given in manual training branches. Among those who graduated were: Hazel F. Banks, Ella T. Beames, Bertha E. Bond, Edna Bowen, Olivia L. Callis, William H. Cargill, Viola M. Clarke, Leonora S. Carrington, Annabel S. Fortune, Peale G. Sampson, Jennie E. Friend, Annabel Gearing, Selma O. Gearing, Elvey V. Groomes, Abraham S. Henry, Fannie R. Hall, Esther B. Hill, Violet F. Hill, Charles H. Holley, Kate B. Jolley, Isidora V. Kess, Ernestine Lane, Syrus W. Marshall, Denis T. Moore, David A. Murphy, Bertha E. Nixon, Amelia F. Peck, Maria L. Reid, Janet O. Robinson, Blanche F. Smith, Veronica T. Thomas, Marcellus E. Toney, Garnet R. Waller, Elizabeth O. Waters, Edna M. Watts, Marguerite E. West, William H. White, Marguerite R. Williams, Regina E. White, Thomas H. Kerr. From the two year industrial course Annie F. Cassell, Annie E. Johnson, Augusta F. Valentine and Harriet E. Vanderhoop. Miss Marguerite R. Williams received the alumni medal for the highest general average.

WISE REAL ESTATE DEAL Afro-Americans to Have Industrial School In Shelby County, Ky. The educational progress of the race aside from the older and higher institutions of learning in Kentucky is very encouraging. It has been the desire of many of the leaders of our people in educational matters to have a thoroughly equipped industrial training school for young men and women away from the city, where they might combine the trades with the higher literary subjects to better advantage than heretofore. This desire in a great measure has at last been realized. The adjustment fund of $400,000 for the building of Lincoln institute, the proposed industrial and normal training school for Negroes to be run in connection with Berea college, has been completed, according to a statement made recently by W. G. Frost, president of Berea. Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the amount was subscribed by Andrew Carnegie. Mrs. Russell Sage and other philanthropists of the east and north on condition that $50.500 be raised by the officials of the proposed institution. This amount has all been subscribed, and the work of collecting it will begin at once. It is expected that work on the new buildings will begin shortly. A site of 600 acres has been purchased in Shelby county ten miles from Shelbyville. Ky., where the institution will be located. The ground was purchased by Louisville read estate agents, and it was not until after all deals had been completed that it became known for what purpose the land was intended. It was then that the white people of Shelby county set up a complaint against putting the school in that region. Similar complaints were made in other parts of central Kentucky when efforts were made to purchase a site by representatives of Berea college. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

Eggleston-Miss Mathews an Energetic Worker. JOSEPH SUMMERS. Among the many able and very successful ministers in the presbyteries of New York and New Jersey there is none more deserving of creditable mention for the results accomplished than that of the Rev. Dr. E. F. Eggleston, pastor of the Plane Street Presbyterian church, Newark, N. J. Dr. Eggleston was born in Amelia county, Va., where he attended the public and parochial schools; he entered S. REV. DR. E. P. EGGLESTON. Lincoln university in 1879, where he graduated from both the collegiate and theological departments in 1886, at which time he won a medal for oratory. He has had twenty-two years' experience as a pastor, church debt liquidator, school builder and financier. Dr. Eggleston has pastored at Oxford, Pa., Danville, Va., Milton, N. C., and Grace church, Baltimore, Md., where he built up the membership from twenty-five to 400 active members, ranking it second to none of the leading churches in Baltimore. He was the first colored man to be unanimously elected moderator of the white presbytery, which position he held for one year and was also tendered the election to the white school board of education, although he declined the honor. All of these responsibilities proved to be a great asset to Dr. Eggleston when he was called to the pastorate of the Plane Street Presbyterian church, Newark, N. J., about a year and a half ago, where he found the work very badly disorganized on account of internal dissensions generated by his predecessors—so much so that the presbytery was on the verge of abandoning the work entirely. Dr. Eggleston began at once to reorganize the shattered and discouraged forces who remained after the many bitter dissensions and vituperations that had been crossed fired between the members, former pastors and the presbytery. Dr. Eggleston proceeded at once to cement the relations between the congregation and the presbytery. He rehabilitated the work and in- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. spired confidence in the few remaining members and has added seventy-six members to the church and put all the auxiliary departments to work on a THE WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM MISS OLIVE A. MATHEWS. harmonious basis. The church now owns a handsome parsonage with ten rooms and all modern improvements in a very select part of the city, costing $4,000, which has been paid for in full, while the good people through his leadership have raised upward of $9,185. Miss Olive A. Mathews has accomplished some very tangible results in connection with the above named church. In one of the recent big rallies she stood ahead of any one member of the church in raising the most money. Miss Mathews has taken a very active part in all the departments of the church. In addition to her church work, she is recognized as one of the most successful and popular young women that are now teaching in the Newark public schools. Miss Mathews received her first appointment after having graduated with high honors from both the high and normal schools as well as the Teachers' Training school. Equal Accommodations Secured. As a result of the efforts of the Hon. Sid Russell, Rev. C. A. Buchanan and Mr. H. C. Caldwell, who appeared before the corporation commissioners at Guthrie, Okla., recently for the purpose of compelling the railroads running through that state to provide equal accommodations for both races, the commissioners have so notified all railroads entering the state that no discrimination must be shown on account of color in the class of accommodations for the public. Weather Observer by Merit. Elljah S. Hardy, the new weather bureau observer at Mobile. Ala., is perhaps the only Afro-American in the United States to hold such a position. Mr. Hardy passed a creditable examination and has filed his bond in compliance with the law. Mr. Hardy was formerly the first assistant weather observer at Pensacola. Fla.

Educational Institutions For the Race Fostered by the M. E. Church Have Developed Many Useful Men—Dr. Thomas' Work. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. The continued aid which the Methodist Episcopal church as a denomination has given for the maintenance of educational institutions for Afro-Americans in the United States is one of the best evidences that the race has proved itself worthy of such help. This may be readily seen when we consider the large number of brilliant, useful and influential men, products of these institutions, who have worked their way up through these schools and who are now filling important places as ministers and teachers among their people throughout the United States. Some of the able men who are reflecting credit upon the denomination and honor upon the race are: Bishop I. B. Scott, who is at present in Liberla; Rev. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, the silver tongued orator, who is the secretary of the Freedmen's bureau; Professor R. S. Lovinggood, president of Sam Houston college at Austin, Tex.; Rev. Dr. M. W. Dogan, president of Wiley university, Marshall, Tex.; Rev. Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate; Professor W. H. Coogman, president of Clark university, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, the scholarly president of Gammon Theological seminary; Rev. Dr. C. C. Jacobs, field secretary of the Sunday School union; Professor I. Garland Penn of the Epworth League society, and Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas, field agent of the board of home missions and church extension. Dr. Thomas has traveled from one end of the United States to the other during the four years which he has been field agent and has a thorough knowledge of racial conditions. He has just returned to his home in Baltimore from an extended trip south, bringing an optimistic report. He says: "Despite the burdens our people have to suffer they are making commendable progress. Here and there educated young men are succeeding admirably along various lines, and the rapid economic strides we are making, though perhaps slowly, lead me to think that in a few years colored men doing business on a large scale will be the rule rather than the exception. These men will surely pave the way for better things for the race. "I am just getting ready for the printer a book entitled 'The Methodist Episcopal Church and the Colored People,' which will most likely contain interesting information about our people, especially those who are Methodists." Dr. Thomas was born in Anne Arundel county, Md., in 1861. He was graduated from Morgan college, Baltimore, in 1881. While serving a small charge near Washington he studied at Howard university, graduating therefrom in 1888. That year he succeeded Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, as pastor of Centennial church, Baltimore. He served as district superintendent of the Alexandria district of the Washington conference, where he remained until THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD JOHN H. HARRIS appointed to his last pastorate. Sharp Street Memorial church. Baltimore. Dr. Thomas is the author of "A Colored Man's Reply to Bishop Foster," in which he took sharp issue with certain aspersions which the bishop made upon the race. He has lectured all over the United States and is rated as one of the most effective and eloquent speakers in his denomination. Livingstone college, Sallisbury, N. C., conferred the degree of doctor of divinity upon Dr. Thomas in 1896. Encouragement For Y. W. C. A. Miss Cora B. Jackson of Washington, who delivered a helpful and inspiring address to the women of the West Fifty-third street branch of the Young Women's Christian association in New York a few Sundays ago, is a graduate of both Howard university at Washington and the University of Chicago. Miss Henrietta Bibbs, who is doing a splendid social settlement work in Washington, also made an effective speech. The visit of these two accomplished young women has been a blessing to the work of the Y. W. C. A. and an encouragement to the workers. Objected to Leopard Spots. In Judge Fake's court in Chicago John Graham, colored, was awarded $999.99 damages against the Dr. Pratt facial institute because of the latter's turning the complainant's face into leopard spots instead of removing the smallpox pits, as agreed by contract. Although Mr. Graham has a strong face, he does object to the "leopard spots," and even Judge Fake can see the justice of his complaint. Bishops' Case Dismissed. Five bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who complained to the interstate commerce commission some time ago that they were discriminated against by southern railroads and by the Pullman company in transportation, dining car and sleeping car facilities, have been informed by the commission that their complaint was not warranted. The bishops are Wesley J. Gaines, H. M. Turner, Evans Tyre, C. S. Smith and F. W. Lampton. Most of the complainants and their witnesses testified that they actually did ride on sleeping cars. It is held by the commission in its decision that undue discrimination or prejudice was not shown, and the complaint, therefore, was dismissed. VICTOR WALKER, Pres.

Monroe Trotter of Boston at the recent conference on the status of the American Negro, which was held in New York, was adopted and became a part of the set of resolutions adopted by the conference: "We deplore any recognition of or concession to prejudice or color by the federal government in any officer or branch thereof, as well as the presidential declaration on the appointment of colored men to office in the south, contradicting, as it does, the president's just and admirable utterance against the proposed disfranchisement of the colored voters of Maryland."

The national encampment of the order at Kansas City, Mo., in August will show a tented city of 5,000 under strict military discipline.

Stock and cattle raising, farming and mining will make mighty interesting occupations for the great number of our people in that section of the state. Lumbering will also be a feature among the other industries. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Hours: 9 to 11 a. m., 1 to 4 p. m. 7 to 8 p. m. DR. P. E. SPRATLIN Rooms—31-2 Good Block.

DENVER. COLORADO. City News Woman's Might Missionary Society of Sharter A. M. E. church entertained at the beautiful home of Mrs. Florence D. Coopers, 2227 Tremont place, Thursday, July 8th. After a short business meeting a very interesting musical and literary program was enjoyed. Selections from Ellen Wheeler Wilcox's Poems of Power, by Mrs. L. M. Froman, were well chosen and read. Mrs. Lillian Jones, well known to the musical world of Denver, sang "The Way of the Cross" with much interest. Our president, Mrs. E. W. Ward, in her quiet and pleasing manner introduced the visitors to the members of the club, after which each visitor was called upon to give a short talk or a word of encouragement. Among the visitors of note was Prof. J. H. Jackson, principal of the Industrial College of Frankfort, Ky., who gave a short, interesting talk, touching on the line of work the society is doing. And our own Rev. A. M. Ward spoke on the Needs of the Hour and how the ladies of the Missionary society were helping to better conditions. Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, already prominent in work of women's clubs, gave words of encouragement. Prof. H. D.

"In union there is strength," and one has but to enter one of their meetings and they can feel the spirit of harmony and love therein. Their president, Mrs. A. M. Ward, certainly shows that she has a love for her work and that she has the welfare of her people at heart to hold together and keep up such an interest as was manifest in this meeting. Love, harmony, work, is their motto and the results obtained through their working together is wonderful. The Misses Porter, sisters to J. C.

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 ou 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.

THE WOMEN'S HAIR CARE We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with "PORO" TRADE MARK (Registered) 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. 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.

WHITES HANDED HIM BACK TO US AND WE DON'T WANT HIM. Some years ago Cyrus Field Adams, the versatile limb jumper who is assistant to Prof. Vernon, the Register of the Treasury, worked us as he may have worked other journalists for service on the promise of payment that has not yet materialized. At that time we put him down on the black list as N. G. Four years ago we received a letter from a supposed to be Chicago newspaper requesting that we give up some real money to buy a watch for this fellow as a thank offering from the Negro press for his "wonderful service" to the Republican party in the campaign then just closed. Again we said "fake." We have never seen the newspaper in question nor even heard of it, and the letter sounded suspiciously like the same Adams, who had bombarded us with chunks of his editorial insanity from time to time at the expense of the party and thereby contributed to the hilarity of the Negro publishers. Of recent days some colored papers have criticised Register Vernon and lauded Adams in the same breath, seemingly trying to supplant the man with the manikin. It is to laugh. President Taft must be from Hayseed Corners to be imposed upon by any such flimsy bunco game as this. Adams is one of the nearly white Negroes who thinks his color sufficient merit on his part. Visitors to the department of which he is parasite say that he has not sense enough to extend common courtesy to them. We have no use for the Negro anyway who despises his own raie, seeking to fatten on his claim that he represents them. If Adams wants to pass for white, it his privilege and maybe if he kept away from us we would get along better. He has tried to do so, and his gall actually caused him to get away with it for a while. We hope his folly will lead him to try again, and then good riddance to bad rubbish! FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE Y. M. C. B. The first anniversary of the Y. M. C. B. will be held in Zion Baptist church Sunday, August 15th, 1909, at 3 p. m. Rev. A. M.

The Brotherhood expects to rally their forces to the completion of their first $1,000 rally, $600 of which has already been raised and is already on deposit in the First National bank. The present membership of the brotherhood is 160, which we hope to make 200 on the day of the anniversary.

When the Denver Choral Society presented "Tannhauser," assisted by the other talent, we are safe in saying that all of Denver turned out to hear them. There were many reasons for the gathering of that vast concourse of people at the Auditorium for a period of three or four days successively. Denver felt proud of her own and wanted to create ambition, interest and class that few cities Denver's size seldom reaches. The lesson we ought to learn from that incident is that the Negro in Denver has but to "let down his bucket where he is," and he can produce and be proud of the productions of the musical young men and ladies of this city. Mr. Clyde Andrews, the composer; Mr. Garfield Wilson, who brought Denver Negroes fame; Mr. Clarence Clark, who is now on a two years' itinerary through the United States, and Mr. Morgan Jackson, the violinist. Why don't the Choral Club and other organizations see this opportunity and help materially and morally these struggling young men by giving periodical concerts and thus benefit everybody? When outside talent comes to town we always use our local talent, and why not perfect it when the outsiders don't appear? We have singers, players, reciters whose development depends upon us. This can include the I. G. A. also. Why cannot" Mr. Morgan Jackson of the West" be a "Clarence White of the East," and the same thing can apply to our singers, reciters and jianists. Already outside towns have made propositions to Mr. Jackson and others for this same thing about which we are now writing. Let Denver do her duty to her young and the results will inspire hundreds of young to become proficient to get the reward of their labor. Miss Virginia Moore of Oakland, hitherto unknown until Mme. Hackley brought her east. Now she is known nationally. Think of it. Denver has only one pipe organist. We trust these few remarks will be used as a stimulus to the different societies to be of some real benefit in the concrete and not wholly on paper. Persons sending in news will please bear in mind that names of people are hard to get correctly from hand writing. From time to time we make the most grievous twists of persons' names from no fault of ours, but because handwriting is difficult to read in this particular. Take time to go over your items and PRINT RATHER THAN WRITE THE NAMES. --- TEHMS. Why help pay big rent? We save you 20 per cent on uptown prices CLEMENTS TAILOR 1523 16TH ST. Near Blake The Underwood types always reach the proper printing point. The type-bar operates through—or with—a guide—a feature peculiar to the Underwood—and patented. The type must go right. There's no other way. It cannot wobble up or down, or sideways. Good looking work is easy and the visible writing prevents operator's blunders. The simple mechanism which secures perfect work in the Underwood is a mighty interesting exhibit of ingenuity and skill. Why not come and look at it? Knowledge of the Underwood will help you to secure greater efficiency. It will be a pleasure to help you to just as much knowledge of the Underwood Standard Typewriter as you choose to acquire.

Sabriel Savage took suddenly ill Monday with ptomaine poisoning and an operation was resorted to to save his life. He was hurried to St. Anthony's hospital and an operation performed in the hope of saving his life. It was found that his intestines were perforated and that a most serious condition prevailed. Thusrday night a second operation was found necessary, but it failed and he never rallied from the effects of the operation. So passes away one of the best young men that Denver has ever known. A consistent striver, an exemplary character, a property owner, everything that any member of the race could be in the short span of life that was allotted him, Mr. Savage was. The remains are in the hands of Undertaker Gilmore. Misses Sarah and Jennie Smith of St. Louis, teachers, are stopping with Mrs. Vernell.

The exceptional behavior of the crowd was marked and much commented upon. It is a compliment to all who attended that their behavior was of the best. Mrs. S. R.
