FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN NEGRO PROVES SUPERIOR IN THE RACE TO POLE TWENTIETH YEAR NEGRO PR IN Henson Says He Went All the Way Peary's Afro-American Companion In Interview Says the Report That "I Did Not Go to the North Pole Is Absolutely Untrue. I Went the Whole Distance Side by Side With the Commander." The Cook-Peary north pole controversy has been doubly interesting by the straightforward story of Matthew Henson, Peary's indomitable assistant, who, according to the most authentic reports, made the following statement Sept. 16: "We arrived at the pole just before noon, April 6, the party consisting of the commander, myself, four Eskimos and thirty-six dogs, divided into two detachments equal in number and headed respectively by Commander Peary and myself. "We had left the last supporting party at 87 degrees 53 minutes, where we separated from Captain Bartlett. Captain Bartlett regretted that he did not have a British flag to erect on the ice at this spot, so that the photograph might show this as the farthest north to which the banner of England had been advanced. "Our first task on reaching the pole was to build two igloos, as the weather was hazy and prevented taking accurate observations to confirm the distance traveled from Cape Columbia. Having completed the snow houses, we had dinner, which included tea made on our alcohol stove, and then retired to rest, thus sleeping one night at the north pole. "The arctic sun was shining when I awoke and found the commander already up. There was only wind enough to blow out the small flags. The ensigns were hoisted toward noon from tent poles and filed with fish lines. "We had figured out the distance pretty closely and did not go beyond the pole. The flags were up about midday, April 7, and were not moved until late that evening. The haze had cleared away early, but we wanted some hours to take observations. We made three close together. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 25 1909 COPYRIGHT BY UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD M.Y. MATTHEW HENSON. "When we first raised the American flag its position was behind the igloos, which, according to our initial observations was the position of the pole, but on taking subsequent observations the stars and stripes was moved and placed 150 yards west of the first position, the difference in the observations being due perhaps to the moving ice. "Having spent eighteen years with Commander Peary and a considerable portion of that time in the arctics," continued Henson. "I have acquired a knowledge of the dialect of the northern Greenland Eskimos, who are probably superior to any other. "When the flag was placed Commander Peary exclaimed in English, 'We will plant the stars and stripes at the north pole.' In the native language I proposed three cheers, which were given in the Eskimos' own tongue. "Commander Peary shook hands all around, and we had a more liberal dinner than usual, each man eating as much as he pleased. The Eskimos danced about and showed great pleasure that the pole at last was reached. For years the Eskimos had been trying to reach that spot, but it was always with them 'tiquelgh.' which translated means 'get so far and no closer.' They exclaimed in chorus, "We have got there at last." "At the pole," continued Henson, "we could see no open lead, and we went no distance beyond the flags. The ice near the loos was at least ten feet high, and the flags were placed on a hummock twenty feet in height. The ice at the pole was about the same as on the journey up—all rafted in between with small floes. Nearly all the winds we had were from the northeast. Commander Peary had three thermometers, and the coldest day was 57 degrees F. below zero. "The report is absolutely untrue that I did not go to the pole. I went the whole distance side by side with the commander and just as far as he did." UNFOUNDED IMPRESSION. Intellectual Capacity and Moral Character Not Based on Color. The Daily Argus of Melbourne, Australia, says that the microbe of race prejudice is biting some of the white people of Australia rather hard, but there are others who refuse to be bitten or to believe that a white Australia is among the possibilities of the future. The above comment appears have been evoked by the remarks of a Mr Macfie, who was one of the speakers before the Royal Geographical society of Melbourne when the following question was recently discussed: "Are the laws of nature transgressed or abused by the continuous labor of white men in the Australian tropics?" Mr. Macfie said that a white Australia was a climatic impossibility. The object of a hysterical policy was to appeal to the bigotry of the unthinking multitude and to convey the unfounded impression that the unavoidable result of admitting the only races equipped by nature for effective working in the tropics would be the moral corruption of the whites. At the same time the white Socialists and trades unionists gladly availed themselves of the movement from different motives. It was colored people, protected from birth by a pigmened skin, who were meant to work with effectual immunity from fatal consequences in the Australian tropics. On the hypothesis that whites who became colored under tropical conditions had colored descendants the restrictive law, if not FIVE CENTS A COPY repealed, would again have to be put into force to exclude those descendants. Color was never meant to be a test of intellectual capacity and moral character and was only skin deep. One significant fact was that the birth rate of Asiatics and Negroes was rapidly increasing, while among white races it was declining. The overflow of the Asiatics could only be prevented by the whites undertaking the development of the latent tropical resources of Australia, by abolishing the restrictive legislation against color and encouraging the introduction of Asiatics under the supervision and control of whites. If the great possibilities of the tropics and subtropics were to be realized it was absolutely imperative that a powerful organization should be formed without delay to disseminate the true facts regarding the subject. They wanted to shatter the ignorant delusion that white men could work continuously and without ruin to health under a tropical sun in the open field. These are the views of a statesman, and we take off our hat to Mr. Macfe. YOUNG WOMAN OF PROMISE. Miss Sara Irene Brooks Given Splendid Reception on Natal Day. One of the most promising young women of Winchester, Mass., is Miss Sara Irene Brooks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Brooks. She is a graduate of the Charles high school and has high aspirations as to her future in the educational life of our people. [Picture of a woman with a headband, wearing a high-collared dress and a necklace. The background is plain white.]] MISS SARA IRENE BROOKS. On account of her genial disposition Continued on page twelve Bostonian's Way Of Doing Things Local Committees In Controversy Over Disposition of Supposed Surplus Fund From Entertaining National Medical Association—Women Raised Large Sum—Dr. Shaw's Heavy Loss. By N. B. DOD5ON. In view of the controversy which has arisen over the disposition of funds collected by the various local committees for the entertainment of the National Medical association, which met in Boston the latter part of August, it is interesting to note the part which the ladies took in a social and financial way. Out of a possible total of $1,150 raised for entertainment they are credited with having raised $800 against $350 raised by the citizens' committee, and, strange as it may seem, the chairman of one committee reports a deficit of $350 and the other a profit of $350, and yet good Dr. M. A. N. Shaw, 1 MRS. HARRIET A. LE JONES. treasurer, is said to have lost heavily because when the committee reported a few days ago there was no money on hand with which to pay certain bills. Well, Boston folks always do things up "Brown," but on account of the excellent standing of the members of the committee this whole affair sounds rather romantic. It appears that some of the official members of the Bay State Medical society were denied certain courtesies which were due them from the National Medical association, and on this account a germ of dissatisfaction was started which spread disease throughout the entire working forces and consequently had its most dire effect upon the local committees. In respect to the social features provided for the delegates and visitors they were grand. The outing given the visiting nurses, which included a sail down the harbor to the State Hospital For the Poor, was arranged by Mrs. Minnie T. Wright, chairman of THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO the committee on homes. In the party, besides the thirty-eight nurses and their friends, were several other women whose work among their sex is widely known. Mrs. Chism, head nurse at the hospital, and her assistant received their guests very cordially and imparted to them much valuable information, which will no doubt be used to good advantage in their special lines of ministration. After luncheon was served an impromptu program was rendered by the visitors, in which the following took part: Miss Eliza Gardner (the Julia Ward Howe of the race) spoke for the church women; Mrs. Harriet A. Le Jones, chairman of the local auxiliary of nurses, spoke on their behalf; Mrs. Agnes Adams for the women of Boston and Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson for the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Wright made the concluding remarks, which were briefly responded to by Mrs. Chism. Niagara Movement Sounds Tocsin. The Niagara movement has issued a masterful address to the country, one which takes the high ground that all Americans are entitled to liberty and justice. It has no patience with the Booker T. Washington idea that first of all in importance is to teach the colored youth to work. It rather takes the view that the youth whose existence is to be a blessing to the country is one who commences his career with the proper conception of manhood. The Dallas Express does not subscribe to the radicalism of the Niagara movement nor to the low, servile conservatism of Booker T. Washington, but rather subscribes to the sentiment which has made the Niagara movement possible.—Dallas (Tex.) Express. Pushing Things a Little Too Hard. That Afro-Americans are aggressive and progressive ought to be apparent to every one. It is advisable to get along with them with the least friction possible. Everything has been conceded the white people. It appears that they should not hunt Negroes up simply to hound them. The anti-race business is being overdone. The threat to undo professional Negroes in Mississippi is pushing things a little too hard. -Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. Club life has found in the Afro-American woman a hearty response. Oppression has made her sympathetic and charitable, hence liberal and generous in dispensing her help. The one incentive, the one impetus, which seems to inspire and encourage her onward in her noble efforts is that she is fully imbued with the fact that no race can rise higher than its women, and to this end she is bending all of her energy toward removing the barriers which are everywhere in evidence against her. The Southern Beneficial league of New York is the strongest in numbers and finance of any mutual benefit organization in the north composed of Afro-Americans from the south. It was organized twenty-three years ago and has done an admirable work for its members in securing employment for them as well as aiding them in sickness and at other needy times. The league will hold its twentieth annual outing at Manhattan Casino on Sept. 24. The population of the earth at the time of Emperor Augustus was estimated at 54,000,000. It is now estimated to be about 1,585,000,000. DICK FRAZIER AND TOM LEWIS, PROPRIETORS THE ONLY COLORED SALOON IN DENVER.

Lyon and a small band of political marauders, has been chloroformed. It sleeps, but it is not the sleep that knows no waking. The people shall be free. In a government such as ours, where great issues and ideas must form into parties, in order that they may express themselves, the sentiment to have two great parties will not perish from the earth. In the state it is just the same as in the nation. Texas, imperial in her diversified products and incomparable in her magnitude, cannot fully develop unless she permits on her soil two well balanced parties. With the growth of this sentiment will come the emancipation not only of the Negro, but of all the people, and the Lyon dynasty will be at an end. All the signs point in this direction, and if we read them aright the day dawn is nigh in which Texas will encourage all her citizens in their efforts to give the commonwealth a government of the people. by the people and for the people.—Dallas Express. ODD FELLOWS OF THE WEST Los Angeles (Cal.) Lodge Owns Magnificent Hall In Home City. One of the most beautiful brick structures in the city of Los Angeles THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. is the hall of the G. G. G. of G. F., on the corner of Eighth and Wall streets, in that beautiful city. The building is two stories high, with stores on the ground floor and lodge rooms above, and stands there as a monument to the energy and perseverence of the members of that order in the Angel City and to Los Angeles lodge, numbering about ninety members, in particular. The property is valued at something like $40,000, and the monthly income derived from rents, etc., is about $450. The Grand United Odd Fellows of the entire state have reason to feel proud of the showing made by the Odd Fellows of the southern city, and it should create a desire on the part of the Odd Fellows in the northern part of the state to get busy and see if they cannot do as well as their brothers south and build a hall of their own. Oakland Sunshine. Good Feeling Between the Races. The marriage a few days ago of Thomas Harris, an Afro-American, to Miss Grace Griffin (white), daughter of the matron of the Missionary Training school at Cincinnati, is causing much comment. The ceremony which made Miss Griffin Mrs. Thomas Harris was performed by the Rev. Ewald Haun of St. Peter's German P. E. church. Mr. Harris is the janitor of the Missionary Training school and is well known in Afro-American circles. Now, who will say that the two races cannot get along on friendly terms? New Yorkers to Dine Explorer Henson. The friends of Matthew Henson, the Afro-American explorer who accompanied Peary on his dash to the north pole, are arranging to give him a dinner on his arrival in New York. Henson's story of the finding of the pole is said to be more authentic than either of the stories of the rival discoverers of the icy bone of contention. Henson appears also to have discovered a volcano, to which neither Cook nor Peary have so far made any allusion. What Manner of Man is This? A Baptist who will change his creed or practice in order to gather followers would sacrifice the Lord Jesus for the "loaves" and "fishes." Miss Ross on the Power of an Ideal. Miss Elizabeth A. Ross, whose address to the members of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association of Brooklyn recently caused so much favorable comment, is the general secretary for the Afro-American women's department of the Young Women's Christian association of the United States, being the first young woman of our race to serve in that capacity. Miss Ross' subject was the "Power of an Ideal." Examples from the life of Moses and other great heroes of his day were cited by the speaker. From a literary standpoint the address was a masterpiece.

Rosebud Nursery Department of the True Reformers of Brooklyn Division Celebrates Fifth Anniversary—Children Liberal In Their Contributions For Old Folks' Home. By N. B. DODSON. The recent celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Rosebud nursery department of the Brooklyn (N. Y.) division of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, which was held in the Bethany Baptist church, was one of the most interesting events among children since the annual Sunday school parade. The audience numbered about 500 persons, about 200 of whom were children of the Rosebud nursery, all dressed in white and wearing red, white and blue regalia, and they presented a picturesque appearance. The lady managers of the board, fifteen in number, were also attired in white. The annual address to the children was delivered by the Rev. Holland Powell, D. D., pastor of the church. From the parable of the lilies the speaker drew many beautiful and at illustrations, which were readily SAMSHAW MRS. MILDRED WILLIAMS. grasped by the children, who followed his line of thought throughout the discourse. A delegation of young misses from the Rosebud at Roseville, Staten Island, sang some of their choice selections, and Miss Maria L. Burwell; messenger of Progressive Union Fountain, No. 754, read the annual report of the board, which showed an increase in membership and finance. Chief James H. Crawley made a brief address, and then the children brought forward their contributions for the Old Folks' home, which amounted to $14. The work under the leadership of Mrs. S. A. Crawley, president of the Rosebud board and secretary of the division, has been kept up in interest and results with much satisfaction. Mrs. Crawley is surrounded with an excellent corps of women, who, like herself, have made many sacrifices for the good of the children and the advancement of the order. Among those who have done yeoman service in all departments of the work is Mrs. Mildred Williams, messenger of Kings County Fountain, No. 652. At the 1908 reunion of the division THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD Mrs. Williams led all the fountains in raising money for the Old Folks' home, which is maintained by the Grand Fountain seven miles from Richmond, Va., and was awarded a beautiful banner for her fountain. There are twelve Rosebud Fountains in the division, and during the fiscal year which ends Aug. 15 about 125 Rosebud policies have been issued. The senior department has over a hundred class members, whose policies range from $200 to $1,000. The messengers, officers of the subordinate fountains and the passed officers' council constitute the chief and secretary's official abfnet. The annual trolley outing of the division will be held at Jamaica. N. Y., Aug. 5. THEY HELD THEIR OWN. Young Afro-Americans Who Passed Successful Examination In Dentistry. At the recent meeting of the North Carolina state dental board at Raleigh there were thirty-eight applicants to take the examination. Of this number five were Afro-Americans, fresh from college. The results of the examination, which were only made public a few days ago, are the following: Twenty-nine white men passed, and five failed. All five of the Afro-Americans passed and their names are as follows: Dr. Alexander Rivera, Durham, N. C.; Dr. E. R. Dudley, Newbern; N. C.; Dr. Thomas Watkins, Cambridge, Mass. These three young men are graduates of Howard university, Washington. The Meharry Dental school men are; Dr. A. S. Hunter, Durham, N. C., and Dr. C. A. Dunston, Raleigh, N. C. The success of these young men should inspire others who are preparing for the various professions. Actions More Powerful Than Words. President Taft's avowed southern policy seems to be peace at any price. His actions in regard to matters affecting the rights of the Negro are contradictory to his public utterances, and the race is fast losing faith in him. While the Georgia railroad strike was going on and Negroes were being driven from their work he had the nerve to tell Howard university students that the best of feeling existed between the races at the south. No Hospital Adjuncts For Churches. We are not inclined to go into hysterics over the agitation of the importance and great necessity for forming anti-tuberculosis leagues as hospital adjuncts in connection with Afro-American churches. They are not wanted. Neither are we alarmed about the race being suddenly wiped from the face of the earth by the dreaded white plague. We will be here for some time yet. If property owners who rent their houses would keep them in proper repair and in such sanitary condition as to bear the inspection of the board of health and stop unjust discrimination against our people in the matter of rental charges, they would do more toward the blotting out of tuberculosis than all the leagues formed for that purpose. Example of Race Loyalty and Unity. As an evidence of the confidence which Afro-Americans have in the honesty and business capacity of the race in large financial matters, $1,000,000 which our people bad on deposit in banks run by white people at Richmond, Va., has been transferred to the Afro-American banks of the city within the past three years.

It takes quite a little money to maintain a brass band in Denver, as there is not much work for one and we do not want to ask for public subscriptions, so we thought we would try and entertain you for an evening in order to raise money to keep up the expense of buying music and other expenses, too numerous to mention. The crowd at the entertainment was all that we could expect, this being our second attempt to entertain you and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The music by the band was well applauded and we think that everyone had a good time and appreciated the treat of dancing by a band of fourteen pieces. The band will appear at some of the other entertainments in the future to let those that did not attend our entertainment see just who belongs to Olympia band and what class of music it can play. We further wish to state that this is the best band Denver has ever had and the members are working in harmony with each other and any entertainment given by us will be of help to the band collectively for expense and no personal graft. We want to enlarge our membership and any musician wishing to join us can see our director, J. H. Kelley. Mrs Alice Burdell of Chicago is visiting Mrs Callie Davis for a few weeks.

At Great Gathering In Durham, Which Was Attended by Thousands, Mayor Griswold Pays Glowing Tribute to Negro Industry and Respectability. By GEORGE F. KING. The North Carolina interdenominational Sunday school and educational convention, which held its annual session in the auditorium of St. Joseph's A. M. E. church at Durham, N. C., recently, is one of the largest organized religious movements among Afro-Americans in the state. Dr. John E. Jackson, pastor of the church, was on hand and did everything possible to make it pleasant for the large delegations which came from all parts of the state. The convention was presided over by Colonel James H. Young of Raleigh. Colonel Young has rendered valuable services to the race as a religious leader and as a promoter in many movements for the uplift of his people in North Carolina. He has been president of the state Sunday school convention for two years, superintendent of the First Baptist church Sunday school at Raleigh for twenty-five years, grand master of the Masonic fraternity for several years, twice elected to the state legislature and was colonel of the Third North Carolina regiment during the Spanish-American war. Mayor W. A. Griswold of Durham, who made the address of welcome to the convention, said in the course of his address: "I know of no city in our state where the colored people are more respectable or more prosperous than at Durham. I am sure were you to send out a committee from this body with instructions to investigate and report back the number of colored people who own their homes or other M. valuable property even the best informed of Durham's leading colored people would be perfectly astonished at the progress in that direction that is being made by your race in this city. It is my opinion that the percentage of colored people owning property in Durham is greater than that of any THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. other city or our size in the state. The white people of the county and city of Durham have dealt fairly with the colored people. They have given their children, both in the county and city, as good schools as they have the white and have done it willingly. "As to the race question in Durham, it has been my observation that the races get on amicably with little or no friction, each respecting one another's rights, it being the rarest occasion that one hears of any friction between the races. I believe it is the desire of every good citizen, white and colored, that these conditions continue, and they will continue so long as we concede that which is due one from the other." Hon. John C. Dancy, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, responded to the welcome addresses in a forceful speech, replete with tones of sincerity. Mr. Dancy said: "This is a new era. The interdenominational Sunday school and educational convention makes its workers stronger, better and holier. Forty years ago people of the various denominations were hardly on speaking terms, but today it is different, and it is a splendid thing to be in a convention like this." The speaker impressed upon his audience, which was composed of both races, the necessity of mutual understanding for a common happiness. Dr. James E. Shepard, who is contributing to the forces that are working for the uplift of the race and whose fertile brains gave birth to the movement for the training of our ministry and religious teachers, similar to the Winona Lake and Northfield Bible schools, was the dynamic power of the convention. General Julian Carr, a white man who is imbued with a philanthropic spirit, was lionized by the convention for the deep interest which he manifested in the race and the new ideas of Dr. Shepard. The addresses of Dr. Kilgo, president of Trinity college; Rev. S. S. Bost and Rev. J. W. Lynch, who are noted theologians and educators, were well received. The round table talks and discussions of difficult problems of the Sunday school were strong features of the convention. The joint choirs of the The Greater of Two Evils. We voice the sentiments expressed at one time by the late Professor William H. Councill, who said: "I do not ask for the Negro the supreme right to rule, but the God given privilege to do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. The man who counts him out at the ballot box may defeat the schemes of selfish politicians, but the man who counts the Negro out of an equal and fair share to earn a dollar robs him of his birthright, sends the wolf to his door and digs a grave for his wife and children." The Hudson-Fulton Celebration. Bishop Alexander Walters has been made chairman of the general committee of Afro-Americans who are to take part in the Hudson-Fulton celebration, which begins at New York Sept. 25, closing on Oct. 9. The executive committee of fifty is headed by Edward E. Lee and has chartered a boat to take part in the naval parade up the Hudson Sept. 28.

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 menticed us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

Fair are the flowers and the children, but their subtle suggestion is fairer; Rare is the rose-burst of dawn, but the secret that clasps it is rarer; Sweet the exultance of song, but the strain that precedes it is sweeter, And never was poem yet writ, but the meaning outmastered the meter. Never a daisy that grows, but a mystery guideth the growing; Never a river that flows, but a majesty scepters the flowing; Never a Shakespeare that soared, but a stronger than he did enfold him. Nor ever a prophet foretells, but a mightier seer hath foretold him. Back of the canvas that throbs the painter is hinted and hidden; Into the statue that breathes the soul of the sculptor is bidden; Under the joy that is felt lie the infinite issues of feeling; Crowning the glory revealed is the glory that crowns the revealing. Great are the symbols of being, but that which is symboled is greater; Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the inward creator; Back of the sound broods the silence, back of the gift stands the giving; Back of the hand that receives thrill the sensitive nerves of receiving. Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed is outdone by the doing: The heart of the wooer is warm, but warmer the heart of the wooing; And up from the pit where these shiver, and up from the heights where those shine, Twin voices and shadows swim starward, and the essence of life is divine. A NEGRO IS IN EVERYTHING IN Not a single colored person resident in Denver had the slightest part to play in the reception accorded President Taft on the occasion of his visit here Tuesday. This oversight of a class of Americans who are usually remembered on state occasions shows better than any words of ours could tell the spirit of the persons in charge of the reception. It is belitting the office which the President holds to use his visit here as a representative of all the people as a means of revenge upon political enemies. Senator Hughes is a Democrat and yet the President was large enough to accord to his position the honor due it regardless of his politics. The least he could do was to have extended the same good fellowship to all Coloradoans regardless of political differences. As for negroes, we are so used to helping out in welcoming the President, especially when he is a Republican, that we wonder where the distinguish- PAGE. 8 INDIRECTION. ed senator's wits had gone strolling. Yet after all the negro was represented, though no thanks are due the local people for it. The President leaves to Major Brooks, a distinguished Washingtonian and a member of our race, the full charge of his personal movements. It is to Major Brooks that Senator Hughes, Thomas Walsh, the governor of the state, the mayor of the city, and all other persons had to go to speak with him. Just as it was a negro who was closest to Peary, the discoverer of the North Pole, so it is a negro who is closest to the President. And he is a past master of his position. We regret that the hurry of the Presidential party prevented Denverites from coming to know Major Brooks better, but through J. W. Jackson, who was with him during his stay here, we know that he was pleased with us. SOME POSITION OF TRUST. The city of Denver, from money raised by general taxation, has built an Auditorium. The laws of the state of Colorado and the provisions of the City Charter permit of no discrimination because of color in city affairs, yet we have the peculiar situation prevailing now whereby the people's auditorium is closed in part to colored citizens. This has not been done by direction of the mayor or city authorities, but has come from lessees to whom the building has been sublet. We are frank to say that we do not believe Mayor Speer or his heads of departments foresaw such discrimination at the time of letting these contracts, yet the discrimination is here, and as the representatives of the law and of all the people, they may not sit idle and by their silence acquiesce in such injustice. We have confidence in the fair dealing of Mayor Speer in this matter and are glad that the People's Sunday Alliance has brought it squarely before him. There is another matter to which we have referred from time to time that also needs attention. That is the evident dislike which the principal of one of the high schools has for colored pupils, his dislike even causing him to tell one colored parent that he ought to send his boy away to Tuskegee, or anywhere except to his high school. In other words colored taxpayers, according to this fellow, have no right to decent treatment for their children. We have told in these columns of the refusal of the school board to even give fair consideration to applicants for the position of teacher, no matter what their qualifications, because they happen to be colored. In other words, they fear competition from colored people, for certainly the colored citizens who urged the appointment of Miss Buchanan, insisted that she be granted no special favors, and that the same qualifications be demanded of her as of white applicants. The prejudice evinced by the board in this matter is already bearing fruit for here is a principal going out of his way to make it unpleasant for colored students. It is hard to be burdened with extra diculties because of our color. 1 E R M S 1435-37 16th St. and 1533 Welton Street A. B. R. B.

The Odd Fellows of the Colorado Jurisdiction met in Butte last week and elected the following officers. The choice of a Denver man to lead the order in this section gratifies us all. Dr. Spratlin is one of the solid men of Arapahoe Lodge and is an enthusiastic Odd Fellow. His ability to do things has received many a test and never found wanting. His other officers alike need no introduction to Odd Fellowship. Some of them, such as the Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer, are serving as their own successors and the rest of the cabinet reflect credit on District No. 33: D. G. M.—Dr. P. E.
