All the old officers were re-elected and next year the convention goes to New Orleans. THE ALLIANCE HAS Sunday the Odd Fellows' hall, on Curtis street, was partially crowded to hear Mr. O. T. Jackson on "The Colorado Colonization Movement." He made a deep impression upon his hearers by the ready and complete answers he gave in response to questions asked by the audience. It was a grand day because of the discussion of the discrimination of the president, Attorney Geo. G. Ross, at the Auditorium, which provoked many interesting remarks. The case was called Thursday and was postponed until Oct. 8, when the case will be tried on its merits. Allpersons interested in their civil rights are asked to be present Sunday at the Alliance to hear report of Lawyer Ross.

Recent Legislative Enactments Cause Many Secret Society Folks to Turn to New Institution Which Has or Its Object the Welding of Afro- Americans Into One Fraternal Compact. By N. B. I ODSON. The recent legislation enacted by the state of Georgia in relation to and against secret societies composed of Afro-Americans which have the same tenets as those composed of white men has aroused considerable interest and speculation among Afro-Americans throughout the country. The discussion of the matter at this time brings prominently before the race the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks of America and Elsewhere, incorporated, which is original and founded upon Christian principles, based on equality and fraternal comradeship of its Sir Antlers and Lady Roedeers. The supreme lodge is constructive and administrative. The business administration is vested in the supreme governing board of directors, consisting of nine Sir Antlers and officers of the supreme lodge and Abyssinia lodge. No. 1, of New York city. Through the department of communications, 123 Ashland place, Brooklyn, all official documents are vised. The antlership and ladyship (separate lodges) of the fraternity are made up principally of young, earnest men and women who before they became Sir Antlers and Lady Roedeers had made themselves felt in their chosen callings and so brought into this original Afro-American fraternity the force and earnestness which make for fraternal success. Every Sir Antler and Lady Roedeer in the supreme reservation of Roebuckism is a self controlled enthusiast. The Order of Roebucks of America and elsewhere is a growing original Afro-American secret organization. It has a unique flag, calendar, cipher book, ritual, code book, signs, grips, regallus, a salutation salute, insignias, five degrees and pass- FIVE CENTS A COPY GIVEN SOCIETIES words. Its purpose is to unite the Afro-American fraternal forces within and without the arena of original organizations into a fellowship of service for the fraternal and social betterment of the race. The order does not aim to paint a illy blue, but it seeks to teach a lesson, to voice an appeal for Afro-American fraternal promotion under the stars and stripes, north, south, east and west—the Eagle's Nest and the Roebuck's Rest. This Serene Order of Roebucks is within the reach of all worthy people identified with the African race. The Order of Roebucks regards everything primarily from the point of view of Afro-American duty—not what it can demand as its rights from others, not wherein it is independent of other Afro-American fraternities or benevolent enterprises, but how it is obligated to all Afro-American organizations and enterprises to our families, our homes, our country and the world. And it is here that we find the strongest spiritual bond between Roebuckism and real Afro-Americanism. We impartially affirm as an incorporated organization that Afro-American co-operation is the essential element necessary for real success in our fraternities and benevolent societies and other enterprises. Imitators of Anglo-American fraternities and benevolent organizations should not be encouraged. The Order of Roebucks stands pre-eminently for Afro-American fraternal originality. Therefore it is earnestly hoped that the leaders of our various fraternal and benevolent organizations will give this matter their undivided attention. Taft In Favor of Manhood Rights. In answer to a letter asking his opinion concerning the franchise amendment to the Maryland constitution which is proposed by the Democratic party in Maryland President Taft says: "It is deliberately drawn to impose educational and other qualifications for the suffrage upon Negroes and to exempt everybody else from such qualifications. "This is gross injustice and is a violation of the spirit of the fifteenth amendment. It ought to be voted down by every one, whether Democrat or Republican, who is in favor of a square deal."

God fearing men in other sections of the United States were using their for tunes, their brains und influence to arouse public sentiment against the damnable curse of slavery that the Negro might be free. Who is the Ne- gro's best friend? The person who is willing to concede him his rights as 1 man and a citizen. Who is the Negro’s best friend? The person who is will ing to obey the law of the land: one who believes in justice and equality before the law; the person who will give him the opportunity to labor at such occupation as he is qualified to follow; one who is willing to give him equal pay for the same quality of work as may he done by other men Who is the Negro’s best friend? The person who will not lead or follow or Nate a mob to run the Negro down riddle his body with bullets, cut his throat, swing bim upon a tree, pour kerosene oil over his body, bury it to the ground and box the ashes and sell them as souvenirs as an exhibition of his bravery without giving him a chance to be heard before a court of justice. The example of the good Sa maritan is a splendid lesson for those who will take the time to learn it. and. above all, the Golden Rule is pre-emi nently the safest guide for all man kind to follow.

Professor Samuel H. Vick, who served as postmaster at Wilson, N. C., for nine years and who was afterward principal of the city graded school for Afro-Americans, has attained success in many large and varied interests for the uplift of the race. In the positions above mentioned he showed great capacity for quickly and peaceably disposing of difficult problems. His business experience and manner of dealing with public affairs won for him the highest praise and confidence of the people of the community whose interests he so wisely conserved. Professor Vick is widely known in religious circles in North Carolina. ```markdown ``` PROFESSOR SAMUEL H. VICK. having served his church for three consecutive years as delegate to the general assembly of the Presbyterian church. As Sunday school missionary for the Cape Fear presbytery he worked his department up to a high point in both numbers and finance. Still another instance of the high esteem in which Professor Vick is held by the people may be seen from the fact that he was grand master of the Odd Fellows' fraternity of North Carolina for four years and was further honored by it on being elected grand secretary, which position he held for ten years. In the matter of making the most of his opportunities for self help and material advancement the professor has set an example worthy to be copied by other young men. He is a shrewd business man, who by skill and economy invested his hard earnings wisely. He is the owner of several valuable pieces of real estate, besides his palatial residence of sixteen rooms, in the city of Wilson. He is known as a bookworm and has an excellent library of 3,000 volumes by the best authors. Professor Vick also runs three large farms, which are cultivated according to the most approved methods of agriculture. Woman's Business League's Musical.

It also urges the patronage of its constituents toward those who will give employment to Afro-Americans. Meetings are held the first Monday in each month. All persons interested in business enterprises conducted by the race are invited to attend the meetings. Librarian Blue's Encouraging Report. In his annual report Librarian T. H. Blue of the library for Afro-Americans at Louisville, Ky., gives the following figures, which show an increase of 40 per cent over that of 1908: Number of visitors to the library Mr. Blue is ably assisted in the work at the library by Mrs. Rachel Harris and Miss Elizabeth Finney. Senator Dick Rescues Dr. Washington. When the Rev. Howard McAydal, pastor of the First Congregational church, Akron, O., failed in his effort to secure accommodations for Dr. Booker T. Washington at the Buchtel hotel during his recent visit to that city. Senator Charles Dick immediately invited Dr. Washington to be his guest at his palatial mansion on West Hill. Mr. Washington was booked to speak at the First Congregational church, of which the Rev. Mr. McAydal is pastor, who afterward decided to entertain Dr. Washington himself. Intermarriage by Military Authority. The case of A. G. Thornton, a rich white man of Fayetteville, N. C., who during reconstruction days (1866) married Miss Elsie Hargrove, an Afro-American, is perhaps the only instance on record in the state of such a marriage, which was granted by military authority. Their marriage was further sanctioned by the constitutional convention two years later. Mr. Thornton died at Fayetteville Sept. 18 in the eighty-fifth year of his age. The deceased leaves a widow and five children. New Intellectual Star In the West. Otis M. Shackelford of Kansas City, Mo., has recently had published a volume of autobiography in verse and essays entitled "Seeking the Best." The author is a man of considerable literary ability. The purpose of the book is to stimulate Afro-American youth to aspire to make the most of their education in a helpful way, for the advancement of the race. It points out self respect, perseverance, thrift and honesty as essential factors to success in life. Mr. Shackelford uses simple words to convey his meaning. The first part of the book is given to a detailed account of the author's childhood and experience in getting an education. Whipped and Ordered to Leave. Infuriated by the attack of a white man on a young girl of their own color, the Negroes of a thickly settled neighborhood about two miles from Spartanburg, S. C., seized the girl's assailant and, after administering a severe whipping, forced him to leave the country. The sheriff and a posse of citizens, heavily armed, went to the scene of the trouble to avert a threatened race riot.—Washington Star.

Methodists Seek To Reach Masses Educational Congresses Being Frequently Held With View of Stimulating Both Youth and Adult Members of the Race—Bishop W. J. Gaines' Notable Address. The African Methodist Episcopal church is making strong efforts in behalf of the popular education of the masses of our people. It not only maintains some twenty odd educational institutions in the south for the training of the young, but it is making an attempt to stimulate the adult portion of the race as well. Educational congresses are being held throughout the country, one in each episcopal district. Recent sessions were held in the Fifth Episcopal district at St. Joseph, Mo., and in the Second Episcopal district at Norfolk, Va. The last of these congresses was held at Asbury Park, N. J., the early part of this month under the auspices of the conferences of the First Episcopal district of the A. M. E. church, consisting of the Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York and New England conferences. At the Asbury Park congress the ministers and laymen of the district tendered a reception to Bishop W. J. Gaines, at which were present distinguished divines from all parts of the northeast. Bishop Gaines delivered a notable address on "The Condition of Education of the Negro." By those who heard him this was said to be the masterpiece in oratory of the occasion. Bishop Gaines said in part: Nations and races have their difficulties to surmount and the problems of their festiny to settle. No nation has ever risen to greatness and glory which did not meet tremendous obstacles and which did not carve out of their very dangers the path to dominion and power. Greece had such a problem to solve when the millions of Persia were swarming on her shores, but she went bravely to the battlefield, and Marathon and Salamis was the result. Rome had the problem of her destiny to solve when Hannibal, with his Carthegenians, was knocking at her gates. Eng- [Name] BISHOP WEALEY J. GAINES. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD and had the problem of her destiny to solve when Bonaparte had Europe at his feet, but with undaunted courage she marshaled her armies and bore down the eagles of France on the field of Waterloo. America had the problem of her destiny to solve when Britain refused her prayer and denied her representation in the councils of her government, but with a faith that knew no doubt and a courage which despised to fear she went forth in the invincible power of her might and saw at last her cause triumph on the field of historic Yorktown. The age in which we live is a practical one. Mind is unlocking the secrets of matter and fathoming the mysteries of the universe. Science is tunneling the mountains, spanning rivers with steel and girdling the world with electric wires. Her compass points the ships to far distant ports and marks out their paths for them across the widest seas. Her telescope discovers the distant stars, and in her lexicon is written all their names. In a moment she flashes her messages around the world and, lo, the islands and the continents come in speaking distance with each other. The race or nation that falls to get in touch with this mighty movement of progress, with this tide of civilization that is subjecting all things to its use and furtherance, must drop out of the advancing tide and perish from the earth. The hope, then, as I see it, for the Negro or any other race of people is to learn as speedily as possible how to take hold of the great forces that make for their industrial betterment. No nation has ever risen to a great position that did not first take hold of material agencies and make the forces of nature contribute to wealth and progress. The four great empires of the ancient world held all the wealth of the earth in their coffers. Greece and Rome at a later period rose to dominion and power through the resources they subsidized and the wealth they amassed by their industrial and commercial activity. It is true that they eventually became the most intelligent and enlightened people, but they laid the foundation of their intellectual greatness first in their material and industrial enterprise and activity. THE MAN WHO GETS THE GOAT Race Feeling In the South Not Due to Criminal Classes. Rev. W. N. De Berry of Springfield, Mass., says: "The criminal Negro, who is a small minority, has never been the source of as much race feeling in the south as some people imagine. But the progressive and the law abiding Negro, who is in the majority, is the man who gets the goat of our southern friends. They despise his independence, his intelligence, his manly bearing. Even Thomas Dixon has told us that the southern white man cannot bear an educated Negro. It is just this attitude that has caused such rapid progress among the blacks. To humiliate a man of intelligence and character will only stimulate his determination to rise to a higher plane. The Negro, with eyes fixed on the future, is moving forward, while the southern whites, bent on staying his progress, are standing still." At this season of the year, when the public schools and higher institutions of learning are throwing open their doors for the reception of those who desire to be taught and who are anxious to learn, let not the Afro-American be slow to take advantage of the opportunity to cultivate his mind and brain. Let no parent regard these opportunities with indifference and neglect to send their children to school. But even sending them is not all of the duty which devolves upon parents. They should watch over them while in school to the extent of seeing that they have the right kind of teacher, that they are given the proper instruction and also that they prepare their lessons at home and that they make commendable progress in their studies and in their moral deportment.

Rush telling such startling facts about the water compromise in other places, especial- ly where the city owned the works; with the cheapness of the water fol- lowing that ownership and with such excellent service, the People’s Sunday Alliance, after hearing such informa- tion, requested that he return at such time when questions based upon our water receipts could be asked him, to which request he promptly consented. Now we ask every water user to bring their water receipt for the past three years and let us learn some informa- tion from that speaker. He has vis- ited Kansas City, Detrolt, Chicago, Toledo, Columbus, in the East; San Francisco, Salt Lake~City, Seattle, Spokane, Alaska and Vancouver Isl- and and is very capable of answering any question you may ask. He tells how water owned by the city has been brought 240 miles and given at a cheaper rater than given in Denver, and how water can be brought 30 or 40 miles from Denver at a cheaper price than the Denver citizens now pay. Mrs. Harry Pope did excellent in her literary selection. The Alliance has cards to send all the participants upon the program.

Eleventh Biennial Session of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Held at Odd Fellows' Hall, Largely Attended. W. Ashble Hawkins Re-elected Supreme Chancellor. Members of the Order of the Knights of Pythias representing all sections of the country were in New York city attending the eleventh biennial session of the supreme lodge of the eastern and western hemispheres from Sept. 19 to 25, inclusive. The session opened with the preaching of the biennial sermon at Bethel A. M. E. church by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom. The formal opening, following the conferring of the supreme lodge degrees, was held in the Odd Fellows' hall in West Twenty-ninth street Monday, when R. E. Clarke, past grand chancellor of the New York state grand lodge, and Mrs. Belle Perkins delivered addresses of welcome. Fitting responses were made by Rev. Charles W. Hurse of Kansas City, Mo.; Charles W. Custis of Hartford, Conn.; D. M. Pappy of St. Augustine, Fla.; J. B. Loving of Los Angeles, Cal., and Mrs. Hattle Nix of Kansas City, Mo. Reports submitted by the supreme officers showed there were a number of accessions of lodges in various states during the past two years, which offset the loss caused by the seceding of a number of Maryland lodges to the other faction of the order. There have been two supreme lodges since 1889, when a disagreement took place on the question of endowment policies. Three years ago a meeting looking to the adjustment of differences was held in New York city, but nothing resulted. That the reuniting of the two wings will not take place in the near future was apparent in the biennial address of the supreme chancellor, W. Ashble Hawkins of Baltimore, he declaring that he was opposed to a coalition until the question of endowments was satisfactorily settled. The uniform rank and the Supreme Court of Colanthe, the women's auxiliary of the order, also held their biennial meeting. The meeting of the lat- ter was presided over by the grand worthy councilor, Mrs. Sarah J. Pinkett of Philadelphia. Memorial services for deceased members were held at the Mount Olivet Baptist church Wednesday evening, Sept. 22. Following a business session Thursday a parade of the uniform rank was given, with William H. Brown of New York city as marshal. A reception to the visiting delegates was given at the Manhattan Casino at night. The comfort of the visitors was looked after by a local committee, of which R. E. Clarke and William H. Willis were chairman and secretary, respectively. The supreme lodge after creating the position of supreme organizer elected the following officers: W. Ashble Hawkins, Baltimore, supreme chancellor; Rev. G. B. Burroughs, Charleston, S. C., supreme vice chancellor; R. E. Grandison, Cambridge, Mass., keeper of records and seal; Dr. G. E. Ger- JOHN H.

CAUCASIAN PERVERSITY. Negroes Copying Evil Example of Southern White Men. Under the caption "Negroes Learn Quickly" the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in a recent editorial says: The lesson of lawlessness which white men south of Mason and Dixon's line have been teaching the Negroes for forty years was not a hard lesson to learn. It was easy to grasp, as isolated facts have proved, but its community application had to wait for opportunity. The opportunity has come in Taft, Okla., which is an Afro-American town. Three white men have moved in. They have been warned to clear out under pain of death, and a store started by one of them has been incontinently dynamited. With the inherent perversity of the Caucasian, each of the menaced citizens refuses to fade away, and more trouble is expected. The rights of a minority are about as hard to protect in an organized community as in a joint stock company. We have no doubt, however, that the governor of Oklahoma, who is a white man, will do his best for his fellow Anglo-Saxons in their emergency. THE WORLD'S GREATEST MOVING PICTURE SHOW!

Farm Extension Work Taught by Practical Object Lessons--Dr. Washington Finds a Little Kingdom and Tells Young Men to Spend Their Lives on the Soil. By MONROE N. WORK. For a number of years Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., has been carrying on extension work among the people of Macon county, where the Afro-American population outnumbers the white by more than four to one. In 1900 there were 18,874 Afro-Americans and 4,252 whites in the county. The former are farmers, and therefore the chief effort has been to improve farming conditions. It was for this purpose that in 1891 an invitation was sent out to seventy-five farmers in the county to meet at the normal school and discuss their needs. Four hundred responded to the invitation, and the now famous Tuskegee Negro annual conference was established. Out of this annual farmers' conference have grown a number of activities for helping the farmers, such as the local farmers' conferences, the farmers' institute, the county fair, the short course in agriculture, the Jesup agricultural wagon, the farmers' co-operative demonstration work and the rural school improvement work. By means of the rural school extension work the people are assisted in erecting school buildings, lengthening their school terms and securing competent teachers. Macon county has one of the best systems of rural schools for our people in the south. There are forty-seven of these schools in the county, whose terms run eight months. With one or two exceptions all the teachers have had normal training. Thirty-six are normal school graduates. Many rural schools in the south are not generally provided with school buildings, but are held in churches or whatever places that may be available. In Macon county, however, under the influence and by the assistance of Tuskegee institute, there are now forty-one school buildings. The people have contributed a great deal toward the building of these schools. In some instances a single community has given as much as $1,000 toward erecting a school building and lengthening the school term. Dr. Washington recently made a tour of the county to see some of the results of the extension work and his own teachings. The people were informed of his coming, and great preparation was made to receive him. The many whitewashed houses, the neatly constructed, substantial and well painted churches and schoolhouses, the well cultivated fields of cotton and corn, the many gardens, the neatly kept yards, all gave abundant evidence that the extension work and his own teaching had accomplished great results. As the inspecting party proceeded on its way a unique demonstration took place. It was, in fact, one of the most striking incidents of the trip. About three miles from the Brownsville school, where the first address of the day was to be made, twenty-four young men mounted upon mules and lined up in military style were wait- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. M. MONROE N. WORK. ing to act as escort. As Mr. Washington came abreast of them they raised their hats in a respectful salute and then welcomed him with a genuine college yell: Rickety, rackety, Sis, boom, ba! Booker T., Booker T., Rah, rah, rah! Who's all right? Booker T.! We are loud, but we keep the rule! We are the boys of the Brownsville school! Dr. Washington said to the people: "You are a little kingdom here. As I compare your bright, fine, healthy looking faces with what I have seen among our people in large cities in the north, especially as I have seen you dwelling each year on your own farms in this beautiful free country, breathing pure air, drinking fresh water out of your own springs, erecting your own schoolhouses, your own churches-as I have compared your condition with the condition of people who lived in large cities in some parts of this country you are ten times blessed when compared with them. Young men, let me warn you. Spend your life right here on this soil. Do not yield to the temptation of going to the city." EXAMPLE OF PERSEVERANCE. Blind Man Who Studied the Soil Left Snug Little Fortune. Jacob Spain, the blind Afro-American farmer of Greene county, Tex., who died a few days ago, left a record which is probably without parallel. For seventy years he eked out a bare living by performing such limited tasks as his physical infirmity would permit. But ten years ago he got hold of a little piece of hill land and began to treat the soil "according to books." He had heard a great deal about scientific farming, and so through his wife he posted himself as best he could and put into practice what he learned. In ten years' time he made the red hills run riot with prosperity. He produced the finest crops in Greene county, and his stock and cattle are the envy of all his neighbors. His landed interests increased from a one horse farm to hundreds of acres. He had money loaned out all over the county and was rated as one of the most substantial men in the state. He attributed his marvelous success to the fact that he studied the soil, put intelligence behind his efforts and diversified his crops.

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."

LET‘S DO OUR PRETTIEST. On Noy. 1 the city of Denver will entertain the most distinguished Ne- gro in this country, in the person of Booker T. Washington, the principal and founder of Tuskegee Industrial Institute. He will speak in this city and for the benefit of the Young Men’s Christian Brotherhood. His presence here will attract the attention of our fellow ¢ltizens of the white race to us and the Negro in this state will be in the public eye as never before. If ever we are to do our prettiest, it will be then. So it is that mindful of the childish assinity of some opponents of Mr. Washington's policies in other cities, we call attention to our com- munity responsibilities with a view of preventing similar occurrences here. It is not necessary that we agree en- tirely with him, we may entirely dis- agree with him. But we have a duty laid upon us as the hosts for a distin- guished guest, and such differences should be laid aside at such a time. Whatever individual estimate is laid upon Mr. Washington, it is generally admitted he is a great American and the one Negro most thought of in this country. So just as all political creeds are represented in the welcome to the President, we Negroes can pay honor to an admittedly great Negro, and must do so unless we would prove to the world the truth, of the charge that we will not allow a member of the race to rise, but prefer to kill ambi- tion and progress with envy and jeal. ousy. We are not attempting to pose as a champion of the Tuskegee Wizard, in fact we have at timee stated points of disagreement with him, but we are asking that the few agitators who see no good in him, cease their vaporings for a spell and act cilivilized. Denver is going to be hospitable to Mr. Wash: ington. The vast majority of our peo. ple are of the opinion that his work in education is really constructive and that the opinion of white America is a true estimate of his worth. So far from envying him his power in poli. Aics, in education, in the industries. they wish for him even greater influ ence as a mediator between us and the dominant race. They do not know whether he is an advocate of higher eaucation or not and hardly care. They are willing to put up with views on race contact, if the results are good. In fact the most hopeful sign we see showing ultimate success for us is ou growing acceptance of the twentieth century doctrine that it is the mar who does things rather than the mar who is voluble in his explanation why he failed; that counts for progress Mr. Washington. has taken his brick: made without straw and builded ¢ beautiful structure that is pointed ou the world over as the greatest worl of presem-lay Negro genius. It maj be that the whole world is at fault and he is only a shadow of a man, bu with all seriousness it can be askec why his opponents are willing to ac cept as gospel truth the opinions o white people on dress, deportment politics, religion and business, yet dc not accept white opinion on Booker T. Washington. oe InE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Yes! ’Tis True!! It's Honest All Through!!!
