FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTIETH YEAR DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY JULY 31 1909 FIVE CENTS A CO ANNUAL SESSION OF STATE BUSINESS LEAGUE The annual meeting of the Business League of Colorado, which met in this city this week, opening Tuesday and closing Wednesday night, assembled at Zion church with representatives from the three principal cities of the state and a few from other places. Rev. Bray presided and W. A. Gatewood was secretary. Papers and discussions of them took up the convention's time, the most important being the discussion of the townsite proposition. This movement it will be remembered originated two years ago and has been worked out in greater detail at subsequent meetings. It now is on foot and the League listened with interest to the progress of its first begotten child. A most succint statement of the personnel of the League's new officers and its future movement is contained in the report of the committee on nominations, which was as follows: We, your Committee on Nominations beg leave to submit the following report: For president, J. W. Jackson, of Denver; for first vice-president, O. N. Bray of Pueblo; for second vice-president, Rev. J. B. Holmes, Boulder; for third vice-president, Mrs. A. L. Whitaker, Colorado Springs; for corresponding Secretary, E. P. Booze, Colorado Springs; for recording secretary, W. A. Gatewood, Denver; for treasurer Dr. J. A. Harper, Denver; for attorney, Joseph H. Stuart, Denver. Executive Committee. M. B. Prooks, Pueblo; Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Denver; H. C. Davis, Colorado Springs; Mrs. Mattie Marshall, Pueblo; O. T. Jackson, Boulder. Delogates to National League, Which Meets in Louisville, Ky., Aug. 18, 19 and 20. E. P. Booze, Colorado Springs; Dr. J. A. Harper, Denver; M. B. Brooks, Pueblo; J. W. Jackson, Denver; Chaplain W. E. Gladden, Colorado Springs; Joseph H. Stuart, Denver, Mrs. A. L. Whittaker, Colorado Springs; Rev. H. F. Bray, Phoenix, Ariz. The following recommendations are hereby submitted by your committee for approval: First. That the work of state organizer be assigned to the attorney of the league. Second. That the outgoing president, Rev. H. F. Bray, be made an honorary president of this league. Third. That the Statesman of Denver. C. A. Franklin, editor, be desig- nated as the official organ of the league. Fourth. That we accept the invitation of the Pueblo local league that the state league hold its sixth annual session in their city. Tuesday night it was planned to have a monster meeting with prominent speakers present. The illness and absence of Bishop Grant interfered with this program materially. A report appeared in the daily press to the effect that he was present and spoke, but was incorrect. It goes without saying that the bishop made no such statements as were ascribed to him. The new officers assumed their positions Wednesday night. KNIGHTS 0F PYTHIAS MEET The Knights of Pythias of the state have been in session this week in Walsenburg. Among those who went from this city were Grand Chancellor Dr. Westbrook, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, C. S. Muse, Grand Trustee C. W. Young, Major Geo. C. Sample, Harry Jones, J. W. Howard. A. R. Butler The session was very harmonious and was easily the best ever held in the Pythian Order in Colorado. The salary of the officers was lowered materially, the Grand Chancellor and the Grand Master of Exchequer being cut in two. Assessments for Grand Lodge purposes was raised to $1.000 per year, but a greater reduction was made otherwise so that the cost as a whole to members is less. A vote of confidence was given the officers of the past year in their unanimous re-election to succeed themselves. This applied to Grand Chancellor Dr. Westbrook of Denver, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal C. S. Muse, Grand Prelate C. W. Young. Those newly elected were Grand Master of Exchequer, L. L. James of Pueblo; Grand Vice-Chancellor, H. C. Coleman of Colorado Springs; Grand Lecturer, C. A. Pilgrim of Cripple Creek; Grand Marshal, Ben Hatcher of Pueblo; Grand Master of Arms, A. Allen of Pueblo; Grand Outer Guard, W. Watkins of Walsenburg; Grand Inner Guard, W. Scott of Trinidad; Grand Medical Director, Dr. Huff of Pueblo. The next place of meeting will be Colorado Springs. The lodge and the citizens of Walsenburg under the leadership of A.J. Steele, killed the fatted calf and extended hospitality so lavishly that some delegates say this was not only the best session ever held but the only one. There was a big picnic, a bigger barbecue and a dance that will be the talk of southern Colorado for months to come. 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. Ward has been selected to deliver the special anniversary sermon at that hour. The Azalia Hackley Choral club has been requested to furnish the musical part of the program. 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. In order to make complete success of our work, twenty teams have been organized in the brotherhood and each one is expected to raise not less than $20 and secure three new members. Those who have any interest in the redemption and saving of the young men in Denver are asked to come to our rescue. Yours for a young Men's Christian Association. S. 1. Bondurant, Treasurer. MISS CARTER'S LECTURE. There have been many persons come to Denver who assumed the role of lecturer but none deserve more credit than should have been given Miss Carter, the Negro teacher of New Bedford, Mass., last Thursday night at Shorter. Miss Carter, one president of the National Federation of Negro Women's Clubs of the United States, came under the auspices of the Women's Clubs of our state and clothed herself in high honors to which her eminent office entitles her. She proved herself to be a budget of information and a keen observer and a careful worker in charitable and benevolent affairs. She is a teacher in one of the public schools of New Bedford, Mass., where the enrollment of the school is 300, all white. E. J. SCOTT DIPLOMATIC. Commissioner Mum on Report, but Speaks Freely of Other Matters. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Tanned by the tropical sun of Africa, but looking the picture of health, Emmett J. Scott, the Afro-American member of the Liberian commission, has arrived in Washington after having consumed about two months on an official visit to the African republic. Mr. Scott spoke freely of the hospitality of the people, the beauty of the country and of everything else but the report of his commission. Courteously, yet firmly, he declined to discuss the details of the forthcoming report in advance of the formal submission of it to the government. But the face of this remarkable young man beamed with enthusiasm as he spoke of the incidents connected with their reception by the Liberians. On the afternoon of May 10 the commission landed. This was the signal for an elaborate and well planned reception program to begin. With pomp and ceremony such as the little black republic is noted for the American commissioners were received. But the labors of the commission took them to Las Palmas, Sierra Leone and other points. "We stopped for a day or so at a most beautiful hotel in Madeira," said Mr. Scott. "The hotel is maintained principally for English tourists. They serve five meals a day to the guests, beginning with the traditional early morning tea." Mr. Scott spoke of the large number of Negro merchants in Freetown and of their apparent prosperity and progressiveness. The United States cruisers Chester and Birmingham conveyed the commission, which was made up of Roland P. Falkner, chairman; Emmett J. Scott and George Sale, with George A. Finch as secretary. Major Percy M. Ashburn medical attache and Frank A. Fowler scientific attache. The Washington friends and admirers of Mr. Scott are preparing to tender him a public reception. He is staying with Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtis at their beautiful home on Thirteenth street. Mrs. Scott came on from Tuskegee to join her husband upon his arrival in the United States. As soon as the commission's report is submitted Mr. Scott will go to Tuskegee, Ala., where his duties as secretary of the National Negro Business league are demanding his attention. The national convention will be held in Louisville, Ky., Aug. 18-21. BISHOP LAMPTON FLUNKS. Sorry if He Insulted Telephone Operator—Wants No Race Friction. The communications given below. ® Rev.R.C.C.Jones Great Ambition. Upward Sica it Layman Who Founded St. John’s A. M. E. Mission Under Trying Circumstances and Who Afterward Became Its Pastor. By N. B. DODSON. The growth of the St. John’s A. M. B. Zion mission, on Waverly and At- lJaptic avenues, Brooklyn, N. Y., since its inception seven years ago has been very gratifying. The mission was or- ganized by the Rev. R. C. C. Jones, who is its present pastor and who came to Brooklyn from Craven county, N. C., not many years ago and united with the Fleet Street A. M. BE. Zion church. Believing that there was a special work for him to do, he set about to find a place in a part of the city where churchgoers were not nu- merous, but where there was great need of religious training among the people. The Rey. Mr. Jones found one person of his religious faith, a Mr. West, who co-operated with him. They found a small vacant room at 1066 At lantic avenue, which they rented by the month. Here the mission started with the pastor and one member. Our people in that section of the city were numerous, but not many of them were religiously inclined, yet one by one after repeated invitations they began to drop into the mission (in the com mon parlance) to see what was going on. Rey. Jones made the room as at tractive as the means in hand would Of RR ce, » a. Ct it ; a of a . “a ie, REY. R. C. C. JONES. permit and trusted the rest, as he often says, to the power and attrac- tiveness of the gospel. At one time quite a number united with the mis- sion, and there were evidences of a rapid growing congregation, but for the most part they were like the ebb and flow of the tide—they came and went. Sometimes there were only Rev. Jones and Mr. West present at the services and at other times only Rey. Joues himself. At such times be preached with as much earnestness as he did when his congregation num- bered a dozen. And so, by persistence and faithfulness, aut the eud of the fourth year the attendance had grown too large for the room, and Rev. Jones found himself immediately confronted THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. with the difficult task of finding a larger piace of worship or losing his congregation. After being refused place after place be went to Mr. James H. Crawley, who is the chief of the grand fountain of the United Order of True Reformers for Brooklyn, who rented Rev. Jones one of the floors of True Reformers’ hall, where the con- gregation now worships. At the annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion church about two years ago Bishop J. W. Hood transferred Rey. Jones to the South Carolina con- ference. This action of the bishop seemed to be a severe blow to the young minister and his little flock, yet the members made up their minds that they would stick together. Because of Rev. Jones’ sterling, Christian char- acter and good conduct at such a time the bishop bas returned him to his first church and congregation again. The membership now uumbers forty- five zealous Christian workers, and both pastor and people are doing all they can for the cause of Christ in their field. Not long ago Rey. Jones proposed a financial rally and received on the day set for the members to re- port $91. The congregation, member- ship and finance of the mission are {n- creasing. Rey. Jones has shown great patience, courage and perseverance in the work and believes that the day is not far off when St. John’s mission will be recognized as a full fledged A. M. E. Zion church.

WELCOME TENTH CAVALRY. Big Reception In Store at New York For Gallant Reaiment. Interest in the homecoming of the Tenth cavalry regiment from the Phil- ippine Islands is at high pitch among Afro-Americans in Greater New York The regiment is well on the home stretch. A committee consisting of J. Frank Wheaton, the Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, Captain Harvey A. Thompson, Collect- or Charles W. Anderson and the Rey Dr. MeMullen called upon Major Gen- eral Leonard Wood at Governors 1s- land a few days ago and received his assurance that the regiment would be permitted to remain in the city @ day and accept the hospitality of the Afro- American population. General Woods also said the trans- port carrying the troops was due to arrive at New York on July 25. It is expected that the reception to the Tenth cavalry will’ be given at the Sixty-ninth retiment armory, Lexing- ton avenue and T'wenty-sixth street. What's Wrong at Bordentown? There must be something wrong with the management of the Borden- town (N. J.) Industrial Sehool For Afro-Americans, as gleaned from the following facts: There are 250 acres of land attached to the school, and 150 acres are under cultivation. but the farm is worked on shares by persons not attached to the school. The cooks are hired, and the laundry work is hired out. too, while hired help does most of the work The state legislature appropriates a snuc sim toward the expenses of this school yearly. but it does not seem to take much note of how things are done otherwise. e New Federation 9 Of Women’s Clubs Empire State Organization the Result of the Influence of the National Association. First Annual Sesslon at Bethel A. M. E. Church a Grand Success. By Mrs. ee LAWTON. That the National Federation of Afro-American Women's Clubs, which met in Brooklyn, N. Y., in August, 1908, was an impetus to progressive womanhood has not only been sub- stantially seen but effectively felt throughout the north and east, for never in the history of Brookiyn and the city of New York have the women been more active along all tines pertaining to the uplift of their sex than in the past year, The organiza- tion of the Em- pire State Ied- eration of Wom- en’s Clubs ts the culmination of the impression made by the na- tional associa. tion. While elnb life among col- cored women has been an expo- 9. y QB % & ae Ey me « bad VU Be MRS. M. J.

That the great state of New York should be out- side of the breastworks of organized womanhood was more than the ag- gressive New York woman could tol- erate. The call for a state organiza- tion last fall brought together over fifty women, representing various clubs in Brooklyn, New York city and Buf- falo, at the White Rose Industrial Home For Colored Girls, New York, Where amid cheers and enthusiasm the state federation which had long been dreamed of was organized. The invitation to hold the first an- nnal meeting of the federation in the city of Buffalo, N. Y., was accepted. But as the time of meeting approach- ed it was discovered that owing to the distance there would not be many who could attend. whereupon the executive committee decided that the first meeting would be more largely attended if held in New York. Ac- cordingly the president, Mrs. F. R. Keyser, issued a call to that effect. The convention was held a few days ago at Bethel A. M. E. church, Twen- ty-fifth street, New York. The attend- ance was large. The morning session of the first day was taken up with a general discussion on the social con- dition of our young women, which proved of great profit to all present. The reports of the various clubs were read, all of which were filled with hope and encouragement for the new move. The election of officers result- ed as follows: Mrs. F. R. Keyser, superintendent of the White Rose In- dustrial Home For Working Girls, president; Mrs. Charlotte Bell, vice nrosidant: Mice Gardella Ray rerard- PAGE. 10. ing secretary; Miss & Elizabeth Fra- zier, fivancial secretary: Miss trene 1.

Zeno, who represented several Brooklyn clubs, is one of the prime movers of the state federation and is doing good work as a temperance advocate. Three dis- tinct departments were established— viz: The social. with Mrs. Emma § Ransom, chairman; educational. Miss Florence L. Ray, chairman, and the civic, with Mrs. M. C. Lawton as chairman.

Afro-American Thrift Shown In Erection of Magnificent Institution at Philadelphia. Which Is Accomplishing Great Good. Woman's Auxiliary Aid In Its Equipment. By L. M. WRIGHT. The growth of hospitals managed by Negroes is another testimony of the advancement which the race is making. Within a few months possibly one of the largest ventures of its kind in the United States. Mercy hospital of Philadelphia, will be completed. Philadelphia has a larger population of Afro-Americans than any city south of Mason and Dixon's line except New Orleans, twice as many as any city in Georgia and three times as many as any city in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida or Texas. Our people in Philadelphia and vicinity number 100,000, and there are among them sixty physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists of African descent. The Mercy hospital was planned to meet the needs of this large and con- stantly growing population late in 1905, but was not definitely established until April. 1906, when the women's auxiliary to the hospital and school for nurses was started for the purpose of equipping the building, which was about to be secured by the board of managers. In the heart of a great [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie, framed by decorative leaves]. DR. A. B. JACKSON. city, astir with life of almost every known industry, to obtain a piece of property with outlooks on three streets, with a garden-like space equal in area to a full city lot, widely branching trees within and without the gates, was deemed more than fortunate. To the visitor the light, cheerful aspect of the wards is an attraction; to the patient it means hope, help, a prospect of returning health, a newer and better physical existence. No money was at hand when this institution was first thought of. The members of the board advanced the necessary funds to give them the right to hold the property in the name of the corporation, and by various forms of entertainments, small donations from wellwishers, mostly among our people, money was obtained to furnish wards, nurses' apartments, one bathroom, an office, the clinic, dining room, kitchen and laundry. The hospital proper was opened on the anniversary of the birth of Abrham Lincoln, Feb. 12, 1907. As the front door is entered a visitor first sees a long hall, the male ward on the left, which accommodates six patients. The next room is the office, the next a lavatory, which was recently erected for male patients, and the next is the clinic, where outpatients are treated. Beyond the clinic in the order named are the kitchen, dining room and laundry. The female ward occu- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. BARRICA MERCY HOSPITAL. pies the entire front of the house on the second floor. This ward has eight beds. Next comes the private room, which was given in memory of Mrs. Henrietta S. Duterte (who was the first woman undertaker in the United States) by her niece and nephew. The supply closet, lavatory for females, the etherizing and recovery room and the operating room are all of modern design. Owing to the large number of patients soon after opening, the etherizing and recovery room had to be taken as an annex to the female ward. An obstetrical ward, one for children and one for fever patients are yet to be installed. In considering the imperative needs of this institution sleeping accommodations for nurses, a study and recreation room, a dining room apart from the kitchen and more space for laundry work claim attention. A. B. From Feb. 12, 1907, to Jan. 31, 1908, there were 45 gynecological cases, 92 urological, 18 obstetrical, 73 surgical, 99 emergency, 270 medicine, 29 eye and 71 ear, nose and throat cases treated. Over 250 operations have been performed and 3,000 outpatients treated. All the members of the board of managers are Afro-Americans. Walter P. Hall, president of the institution; John W. Harris, secretary; James Howard, treasurer, and John C. Asbury, solicitor, are leading business men of Philadelphia. In less than three years Mercy hospital has entirely outgrown its contracted quarters. It has been compelled time and again to refuse patients on account of lack of accommodations. The outpatient department has been so crowded at times that the yard had to be used as a waiting room. Larger quarters are imperative, and to this end the management is making an effort to add a new building. Among those who have actively aided Mercy hospital are Hon. John Wanamaker, Dr. Talcott Williams of the Philadelphia Press, Judge John H. Kingsey, Hon. Nathan T. Folwell and other prominent citizens. On the medical staff are Drs. Algernon B. Jackson, E. C. Howard, R. J. Abele, E. T. Hinson, T. C. Jones, G. R. Hilton, J. W. Sutton, D. W. Ogden, T. G. Coates, G. G. Strickland, J. T. Stanford, A. T. Boyer, J. P. Hudgins, J. L. Boyton, D. J. Phillips, W.

Coffeyville, Kan., uJly 15, 1909. To The Statesman: Madame T. D. Perkins, scientific scalp specialist, of Denver, Colo., and a former resident of this city, has been renewing old acquaintances here during the past three weeks. Her lecture at the Macedonia church Friday night was in every way a huge success. A large crowd attended and the interest and attention was all that could be desired throughout the lecture. This lecture was instructive as well as enjoyable. Of the score or more ladies present who recalled Madame Perkins' girlhood days none failed to remark the great improvement in her hair, for as a girl her hair was short and the kind of bad hair that is spelled Badd. Now it is straight, long, beautiful. Old acquaintances half believed she wore a wig until she had taken her hair down, then they seemed to think the days of miracles were still present, and that the wonders would never cease. Certainly Madame Perkins' hair is the greatest testimonial she could offer as to merit of her treatment for the hair and scalp. Her work while in this city was highly satisfactory and every one regretted to see her leave for Independence, Kansas, in company with her childhood friend, Mrs. Jennie Donely of this city, who will spend a few days with her there before she returns to Denver. In a world so given over to fakes of every description it is inueed a pleasure to meet a lady of Madame Perkins' standing, ability and charming personality, whose work deserves and is receiving public approval everywhere. In the words of the old brother's prayer, may she live long to preach this gospel of good healthy hair and plenty of it. If there is one thing that adds more to the appearance of woman than a good head of hair, it must be more, better and healthier hair. If woman's hair is her glory, Madame Perkins has no little glory, and she is engaged in a laudable undertaking—that of restoring the ancient glory of a race. We hope to see her in our city again. MRS. JENNIE JOHNSON, 507 E. 2nd St., Coffeyville, Kansas. Madame Perkins returns to the city next week after having spent several weeks in Kansas, where she met with wonderful success in her classes for the beautifying and growth of the hair. Her city customers are requested to make arrangements with her at once for treatment, as she goes east shortly for an extended stay. The best and biggest thing ever given by this order and rivaling the best ever given by anybody is the picnic and outing of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten at Bloomfield Park Saturday, August 7. Do you hear? ICE CREAM—Mrs. Laurence Stephen has opened an ice cream parlor at 2620 Welton street and enters to the summer needs. Open every day.

Stevenson Archer, Greenville, Miss.; My Dear Sir—Referring to your con- versation at the depot in Greenville the morning I left, in which you advised me of the report that I had insulted or of- fended one of the young lady telephone operators or friends of hers, I beg to say that I utterly disclaim having said or done anything intended to offend or in- sult the young lady or any of her friends and sincerely regret if I used any expres- sion which would bear such construc- tion, and if so I cheerfully withdraw it and apologize for it. I have never asked or stood for social recognition or equality. You have known me for a quarter of a century, know what my life has been and can bear me out in this. My home has always been in your community. I hope to spend the remainder of my life there. I believe that the south is the best place for my people, and I would feel that I was false to them and lacking in my duty as a Christian if I ever said or did anything to bring about race friction or cause bad feeling among the white people toward my race. I earnestly request that you represent the matter in the right light to the com- munity. Respectfully, E. W. LAMPTON. To the Public: We are glad to be able to say that the foregoing communication is satisfactory to those interested and the spirit and tone of it such as to remove any hos- tility which may have existed to the re turn of BE.

The twenty-sixth annual session of the state grand lodge, No. 1, of the Royal Knights of King David, which was held at Wilmington, N. C. from July 20 to 22, inclusive, was largely attended and proved from actual re- sults to be one of the most successful in the history of that time honored order. Professor W. G. Pearson of Durham, N. C., called the ‘convention to order and in an eloquent address presented State Grand Master James L. Pearson, who presided over the session. The welcome address on be- ea go | US Lf y. ws : = SROFESSOR W. G, PEARSON, azalf of the city was delivered by the mayor. The speeches of Professors John Merrick and W. G.

A spectacular fea- ture of the convention was the annual parade, which was witnessed by hun- dreds. It was the finest and most pic- turesque affair seen in Wilmington among our people for many years. Since the inception of the organiza- tion it has paid its members over $75,- 000 and now has assets of $15,000 and no liabilities. The building and loan department is rendering valuable as- sistance to its members and is stim- ulating them to purchase homes. Pro- fessor W. G. Pearson has made this organization a factor in the uplift of the race in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, where the society has met the requirements of the state law by depositing $5,000 with the state for the protection of its members. The reports of the officers showed a healthy growth of the order.

Career of Sol White. Sol White, the dean of Negro base- ball managers, is as happy as the days are long. The “old master’s” hap- piness is due to the fact that he has a strong team in the Quaker Giants, and, above all, the team has secured a lease on the Camden (N. J.) league park as its home grounds. Although there have been made sev- eral underhanded attempts to stop Captain White in his efforts to secure a good team and to book dates, yet he has succeeded in overcoming the oppo- sition and now has not only a good team, but many dates. Under the management of White the Quaker Giants as reorganized will make a strong bid for the champton- ship of the season. Recently the team has been playing against some of the strongest Negro teams and has been winning right along, and there has been a notable improvement in the work of the men. Captain White enjoys the reputation of being the only professional Negro player who is a college graduate, hav- ing been educated at Wilberforce uni- versity, which is the oldest institution in America for the education of Afro- Americans. Among the men who constitute the Quaker Giants’ force are: Brown, left field; Hill, second base; Barber, third base; Carter, right field; Grant, short- stop; Shorts, catcher; Johnson, center field or pitcher; Hyman, pitcher; Go- vens, substitute; Jones, pitcher; Swick- et, pitcher. With the members of the team are some of the fastest base runners among Negro players, while the bat- ting average of most of the men will compare favorably with that of any other team. “A Firstclass Resert s for Gentlemen” j THE NEWPORT SALOON} Te “MG 1845 Arapahes, » Denver, Colorade | THE OLD RELIABLE Thomas Clingman Billiard and Poo!

The census of 1900 gave the Negro population in the United States by pe- riodical comparison as follows: In 1800 the Negro formed 18.88 per cent of the population; in 1810, 19.08 per cent; in 1850, 15.68 per cent; in 1860, 14.02 per cent; in 1880, 13.11 per cent; in 1890, 11.93 per cent; in 1900, 11.59 per cent. While the above figures show a de- eided falling off in the Negro popula- tion when. compared with the total population of the United States, they are not to be construed to mean that there are fewer Negroes now than In 1800. ‘Take the population of the Unit- ed States in 1800 and then add to it the number of immigrants to the United States from 1800 to 1900 and it will be clearly seen how misleading these figures are. REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY. Its Seeming Triumph Over the Negro Politically Only Temporary. Hon. R. L. Smith of Paris, Tex., for years deputy internal revenue collector, with headquarters in the city above named, and Hon. M. M. Rodgers of Lagrange, Tex., deputy internal revenue collector, with headquarters at Austin, have both been asked to vacate their positions, thus reducing the number of colored men holding federal jobs in Texas outside the postoffice department to one-Hon. Nathaniel Qientin Henderson of Columbus, Tex. He is in the revenue service. Be it remembered that a Republican sits in the White House and is supposed to be guided in matters of appointments in Texas by State Chairman C. A. Lyon, also a Republican, with headquarters at Sherman, Tex. More and more it grows apparent that the latter day Republicanism does not comprehend the colored man. He is not without hope, however. He has his remedy. It is on the inside. Let him look to himself and remember that in all things merit has its reward. The machinations of enemies and the combination of hypocrites cannot change the inexorable laws of fate. As the Negro more nearly and clearly demonstrates to the world his capacity for self government, for the discharging of those functions which mark the upright and intelligent citizen, he will come into his own. The fact that Republican hypocrisy and prejudice have temporarily triumphed over the Negro in the matter of acquiring his political and civil rights does not of necessity constitute a discouraging element. The colored man has but to look to the future and make good. Time is a great leveler and constitutes a factor with which mankind must reckon, and it is possible that this great question of the rights of a race may be settled right. Dallas Express. PLENTY OF ROOM HIGHER UP Business Men More Conservative-The Prepared Man Gets the Job. There are twelve Afro-American letter carriers in the postal service at Muscogee, Okla., and two more on the eligible list who will enter the service Oct. 1. This is encouraging. Let our young men and women prepare themselves to fill positions of trust and responsibility both in the government service and in private corporations. Merit counts and persistence wins. More and more business men are becoming less clannish and more conservative, and the person that is prepared to fill important places in the commercial world will get them nine times out of ten now where years ago fitness had little bearing when an Afro-American applied for the position. There is plenty of room higher up. Let us go up with confidence and possess some of the lucrative places. Get them and then fill them with ability, honesty and sincerity.—Dodson. Shrewd Business Man. A large number of Afro-Americans are engaged in the hack and carriage business in connection with the railroad train service at White Plains, N. Y., among whom is George W. Freeman, who meets all trains and gives special attention to the traveling public. His courteous demeanor has made business for him. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Office Phone Main 6595.

The Ministry Cited as Being the Foundation of Race Leadership—Men of Rare Achievements Named—Career of Dr.Shaw, Who Believes In an Educated Ministry. Those who have written or attempted to write the history of the Negro race in America without giving due credit to the part which its ministry has taken in its remarkable rise from obscurity to prominence will find their work incomplete. This is true because during the period of slavery, when we had few if any business of professional men, the minister or exhorter among us was considered our leader. The same is true in the main today with the masses of the race. But supplementing religious leadership now we have capable business and professional men, who are giving the race representation of a higher type—men who are prepared to meet other men in the higher walks of life upon a common level. This is one of the distinct results of the advancement which the race has thus far made. However, the unlettered leader of former days, whether preacher or layman, rendered valuable service to the race, and there were many strong, brave men among them whose achievements were a blessing. The accomplishments of men like Richard Allen, founder of African Methodism; Varrick, the founder of the A. M. E. Zion church; Henry Highland Garnett, William R. Ward, Bishop D. A. Payne, Harvey Johnson, J. W. E. Bowen, W. Bishop Johnson, the late William T. Dixon, J. Albert Johnson, Booker T. Washington, W. T. Vernon, Bishop W. B. Derrick and a long list of others, some living and some dead, should give encouragement, inspiration and hope to those men who are now giving the best of their lives for the uplift of the race. Rev. Dr. Daniel W. Shaw, pastor of the Centennial Methodist church at 1 REV. DR. DANIEL W. SHAW. Baltimore. is among those who have THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. enjoyed exceptional educational advantages, and he is doing an admirable work in his chosen field. Dr. Shaw is a native of Louisiana and was educated at Baldwin university and at Berea college, graduating from the latter institution in 1883. He has held successful charges at Oberlin and Cleveland, O., and Lynchburg, Va. As a temperance advocate Dr. Shaw has wielded a powerful influence. This was thoroughly demonstrated during his stay in Lynchburg, where he took part in the movement which resulted in the overthrow of the saloons in that city. He was also instrumental inaving the full high school course of study restored in the public schools of Lynchburg. Dr. Shaw believes in an educated ministry and urges all who aspire to the ministry to thoroughly equip themselves for their chosen work before entering upon it. The problems which confront us as ministers and leaders of our people require the broadest culture, common sense and moral character which should be beyond question. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES. South's Duty to Make His Freedom a Blessing. Says Dr. J. W. Lee. Equal industrial opportunities for the Negro was the keynote of an educational mass meeting which was held in Big Bethel church under the auspices of the industrial department of Morris Brown college. Atlanta, Ga., July 19. The audience of more than 1,500 Negroes was interspersed with many prominent white citizens of Atlanta. A white man presided—Dr. James W. Lee, pastor of Trinity Methodist church. The principal address was delivered by Dr Lee. His talk was optimistic, and while deploring the recent effort to oust the Negro firemen on the Georgia railroad, he felt that an era of better feeling between the two races was dawning which augured for the betterment of the south generally. "The custom has been in the north," said Dr. Lee, "to permit the Negro equality in the church, in the schools in the theater, in the railroad coach, but no equality in the shop, the foundry or in the department of bricklaying or carpentry. The south has been disposed to offer him equality where his rations are involved. Our northern friends say you can do whatever the white folks do at the top of society, but you can do nothing they do at the bottom. The southern people say to the Negro--you can work along with the white folks in the realm of industry and thus make for yourselves the means to enable you to create a top for yourselves by your own efforts and among your own people. The ideas which prevailed in the north concerning the Negro industrial equality should not be permitted to make a practical expression for themselves in the south. It is generally conceded that the north did a good thing for the Negro in setting him free, and now it is the turn of the south to do a better thing for him by giving him work so that his freedom shall not be a curse, but a blessing." GRAND REUNION OF ELKS. The Two Factions Have Decided to Bury Grievances at Detroit. No event in secret societies among Afro-Americans this summer has aroused more interest and hopeful expectation than the forthcoming annual convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World which is to be held at Detroit, Mich., the second week in August. The Afro-American lodges of the order in the United States were founded by B. F. Howard about ten years ago. Since that time subordinate lodges have sprung up in nearly all sections of the country, and in the main they have been wonderfully successful. A split in the order occurred at the annual grand lodge session which was held in Washington in 1905 which caused a temporary setback in its numerical and financial growth. One faction was led by Founder Howard, the other by leading members of lodges, in New York, Brooklyn, N. Y., and Jersey City, N. J. Both factions are now seeking a reconciliation and have decided to bury the hatchet of contention at the Detroit meeting and have a general reunion. Members of the order in Detroit are jubilant at the prospect of once more having the full strength of the organization in line to help in the consummation of very important matters which will not only be helpful to them as a secret order, but to the race generally. We are glad to see our men take this step in the right direction, for we cannot as a race afford to be divided along any line which will tend to decrease our strength and influence while the great battle for the full recognition of our civil and political rights is being waged. LILY WHITES BEING ROUTED. Messrs. Pleants and Hopkins Leading Political Fight In Virginia. I am glad to see that the Lily Whites are being routed in old Virginia, and especially am I glad to see that the good work had its beginning in Goochland county, where, as a boy, I remember that there were but two regular political parties—the Republican and Democratic. Each then worked along its own party lines. The third party within a party, the Lily Whites, was at that time unknown. It did not exist in the days of William Mahone and William P. Moseley. To our good friends, J. F. Plesants and D. Hopkins, whom we have known for many years, we say: "Bravo! Go on! You are on the right track. Let the Negro manhood of old Virginia rise up as one man and fight the enemy of its civil and political rights to a finish. We know you to be capable men who have never yet bent the knee to the Baal of freedom and liberty."—Thomas P. Moseley, Brooklyn, N. Y. Vacation For Woman's Auxiliary. The last meeting for the summer of the Woman's auxiliary to the Provident Hospital association at Brooklyn, N. Y., was held a few days ago at the home of Dr. and Mrs. James G. Trimble. The report of the treasurer, Mrs. Rosa Williams, showed that the association has a fund of about $60 and a membership of about twenty-five. Mrs. M. J. Roane presided, and Mrs. James G. Trimble recorded. On motion it was decided that monthly meetings will be suspended until October. Miss Hunt an Honor Graduate. DAY-DREAM A WASTE OF TIME Precious Hours Lost to Those Who Are Prone to Wait for the Mood to Strike Them. If you have a particular piece of work to do, get it done. Don't wait for the mood to strike you. Don't dream! There are more precious hours wasted in day-dreams than any of us would care to think about if we counted them. The queer thing about day-dreams is that so few of them ever amount to anything. The dreamer is only semiconscious when building his air castles, so as a rule they have no practical foundation. While you are at work, keep your mind on what you are doing, and do not let it wander off to what you would like to be doing. Only by keeping your mind on what you are doing now can you bring it fresh and keen to the things you like doing best when the time for doing them comes. Thinking too much about even a great happiness takes the "edge" off it. The best time for day-dreams is after you have gone to bed.—New York American. Cape Dismissed. The following story which leaked out of a Yale faculty meeting is also typical of "Waterloo" Wheeler. The case of a fast student was before the faculty. Though the Yale principle is to meddle as little as possible with the life and morals of the student, insisting merely on the rule, keep a good scholarship stand and be regular in attendance, still flagrant cases of misconduct are summarily disposed of. The student in question had been seen in the company of a woman of rather poor reputation, and there was a question of dismissal. Lest he be wrongfully sentenced the cautious Prof. Ladd, the philosopher, had inquired: "Was the young man positively identified?" Oh, yes, the professor knew the man well; there could be no mistake about it. Then Prof. Wheeler looked up quizzically, tapped his spectacles against the fingers of his left hand, a characteristic gesture, and inquired: "And can the professor also positively identify the other party?"—From "Familiar Yarns of the Yale Faculty," in the Bohemian. His Ancient Grievance. The congressman met the correspondent. "Say," he exclaimed, "I have a mild grievance against you." "Get it off your mind," said the facetious scribe. "It's just this," said the congressman. "When you put what you call a clever story into my mouth don't let it be the vintage of the year before the flood. Gimme something that doesn't date back any farther than the Crusaders, or possibly the sack of Babylon. You see, most of my constituents read the almanac. There's a good fellow." And he shook hands effusively with the correspondent and passed along. An Error in Philanthropy. One of the first lessons that philanthropists must learn is that it is not always easy to do good. There is a perversity of human nature, even when inspired by the best intentions, which sometimes seems to operate invincibly in favor of wrong. If the mischief that is done by those who mean nothing but good could be eliminated from the world the sum total of error would be noticeably reduced PAGE. 6. Civilization and the Negro. Nobody can guess as yet what is to be the destiny of the descendants of the 10,000,000 Negroes now in the United States. They are, we suppose, by all odds the ablest, most civilized and competent 10,000,000 lot of Negroes in the world. They are all at school in a great school kept somewhat reluctantly by white men. Somehow and some time those Negroes are going to have something like a fair show. Civilization will have a job for them, and it will be not the worst job that they can live by, but the best of which they are capable.-Life. Muscogee to Welcome Business Men. Business men at Muscogee, Okla., are all aglow over the coming of the Texas business men's excursion, which is due to arrive there from Dallas and Fort Worth Aug. 6. The excursionists will be tendered a magnificent reception at the McCullough auditorium on the evening of that day. Colonel Archie V. Jones will deliver the address of welcome. Scholarly Attainments of Mrs. Yates. It is a gratifying sign of the progress which our educators are making by the recognition which they are receiving from institutions of learning from time to time. The board of regents of Lincoln institute at Jefferson City, Mo., has recently appointed Mrs. Josephine Siloane Yates "adviser of women" in connection with the chair of English, which has been held by Mrs. Yates for the past seven years. She is regarded as being one of the best teachers of English in the state. CONVENTION OF THE NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. To Be Held at Louisville, Ky., August 13, 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 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. 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 emancipation 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.

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 (saving 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.

PAGE! 8 IT MAY BE OUR NEEDS ARE NOT ’ UNDERSTOOD. It is useless to kick against the pricks. It will serve no purpose to rail against the fire and police board for its refusal to grant to colored min- isters the permit to erect a Gospel tent, while at the same time it gives this permission to whites. The power rests with the board to do as it pleas- es with matters that require licenses, and if one does not understand, he must be satisfied with surmises. Yet we beg leave to lay before this honor- able board some facts which bear upon this situation. The improvement of the morals and the saving of the souls of black men and women means added industrial ef- ficiency and lessened crime, a distinct financial gain to the community. Color prejudice denies us the benefit of the 1. M. C. A, the Y. W. C. A. and the contact with the highly cultured and educated people of our city and state. Our birth and environment has de- prived us family and class pride, our poverty excludes us from the educa- tion and culture that those better sit: uated may enjoy, And yet despite our handicap, we must battle against the accusation that we are peculiarly criminal and must lift the lower class- es of our own race with the poor means at our command. So, far from being denied this privilege, the board of fire and police commissioners would have been doing the community a dis- tinct service to have granted it. We trust that we are not so race con- scious as to always believe that it is our color that is looked at by the of- ficers of the law. In fact this paper has said that on many occasions the administration of Mayor Speer had disregarded color in its treatment of us. It is too much to hope tnat every one in it will walk on so high a piane. As for instance we cited a few months ago the case of Tarpey, the upstart politicign, in charge of the bath house, who has been so insolent and aown- right dirty in his management there that a Negro cannot go even on the speciai,day set apart for us, without risking his health, or submitting to in- sult.. Yet.speaking for the fire and po- lice board, we have had personal con- tact with Commissioner Earl Hewitt, and Commissioner Barton and our opinions of them and their records both lead us to believe that the board’s refusal to grant the ministers a per- mit arose from lack of understanding of our race needs rather than from prejudice. It is not fair to tell us we should assist the authorities in se- curing obedience to the laws and de- prive us of the opportunities to exert imoral suasion.. The people.are geuer- ously! debauched by conditions that laws cannot counteract, ang the forces for good should not be hampered where a: pgint can be stretched in their behalf. s Gipsy ‘Smith and his Auditorium meetings from the unusual character they had; reached many who were otherwise beyond the church’s sphere of .influence,, and so-would a tent meeting be with us. -IdE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. MRS. W. A. RICE PRESENTS FRIENDS. All of those who heard Prof. Free- man Sunday morning at Shorter church were much pleased at his solo, but if they had had the opportunity to meet him socially their true feel- ing toward him would be deepened. At Mrs. Norwood’s lovely little resi- ‘dent at 1627 Gilpin street happened onet of the pleasantest receptions yet given in that neighborhood, which was given in the honor of Prof. Free- man of St. Louis, Mo., and Mrs. Nor. wood’s sister, Miss Bdna Eizzel of Oklahoma. The party of people were composed of our best.young ladies and men of our city, who took part in an impromptu program, in the per- sons of Misses Marguarite Jackson, Rhoda Anderson, Mrs. Norwood and Profs. Freeman and Jones of Dallas, Texas. The prominent strangers present were Mesdames MceCarrol, Harper of Kansas City, Miller of Lawrence, Kansas, and Miss Clump of Topeka, Kansas. Light refresh- ments, funny stories and many pleas- antries were the consequence of the evening. Mrs. Rice, with her sweet, eongena disposition, gave an uadi- tional feature to the pleasing affair. ‘Prof. Freeman and Miss Jackson's colos will be always remembereu.
