FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society GENIUS OF THE RACE IN TWO WALKS OF LIFE TWENTIETH YEAR GENIUS OF IN CLEVER PEN AND INK ARTIST Young Man Who Started as Drug Clerk Became Successful Designer. William H. Jackson of Arlington Heights, a suburb of Boston, is receiving many flattering compliments nowadays for the very excellent class of work which he is doing as a pen and ink artist. Mr. Jackson was educated in the public schools of East Lexington and Charlestown. He afterward worked as clerk in the drug business, and later he took up drawing, studying awhile at the Eric Pope School of Art. Being naturally inclined, he progressed rapidly and is now employed by the Murdock Shaw company, designers of monumental tablets. He designed for the firm a large tablet P. WILLIAM H. JACKSON that was placed in a bowler erected in the center of the abolitionist grove at Abington, Mass., commemorating the deeds and work of Garrison, Sumner, Phillips and other noted men of that period. He makes poster pictures, designs and comic sketches for various papers, such as the Chelsea Evening Record, Boston Guardian and Malden Minor. He had a special order from Cole and Johnson of the "Red Moon" company for a large cartoon which is on exhibition at their studio in New York. He made some anatomical drawings for Dr. W. J. Daly, the ```markdown ``` DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY OCTOBER 16 1909 well known oculist of Carney hospital, Boston. These were so satisfactory that Dr. Daly placed a large order with Mr. Jackson for drawings to be used to illustrate special lectures. Mr. Jackson also made the trademark for the Frederick Donglass Shoe company, which was accepted at the Washington patent office. Mr. Jackson is secretary of the Negro Art club, which is composed of young men who are devoted to the study of the fine arts. Through the untiring efforts and encouragement of a white artist, Mr. Harry A. Irvis, Mr. Jackson believes that cartooning can be made a profitable business. To be made effective cartoons should be carefully "thought out" by the artist. It plainly follows, therefore, that its strong influential power with the public is in the hands of the editor, who necessarily must be high minded and farseeing with a sense of humor that will give that suggestive touch of action that has made cartoons popular. NEW HONOR FOR HENSON. Peary's Faithful Assistant Dinner Guest at Union League Club. Matthew Henson was an honored guest at an informal dinner given by the Union League club of New York to the officers and scientific staff of the Roosevelt on Oct. 6. The diners included prominent scientists and those who are interested in polar exploration. Closely following Captain THE ROOSEVELT. Robert Bartlett, master of the Roosevelt, came a group of the companions of the voyage, with the redoubtable Henson leading the way. Mr. Henson is of Danish West Indian extraction. He entered the service of Commander Peary while at Washington several years ago. Besides the Peary men at the dinner there were present members of the American Museum of Natural History and of the New York Academy of Sciences All the party were asked to tell of their experiences, and the story of Henson was one of the most interesting of all the narratives. MISTAKEN IDEA OF CITY LIFE Rev. B. F. Malard's Efforts to Solve the Problem at Raleigh. The trend of too many of our young men of intelligence and education toward city life without any particular aim in view is causing many young men to lead shiftless lives. This fact is especially noticeable in the larger cities north and south. While many go with the hope of bettering their condition financially, they are often surrounded by unwholesome conditions and bad companionship, which soon undermine their purpose and sap their ambition for higher and better things. In order to offset this mistaken idea of easy city life among the young men and women of the com- [Name not visible] REV. BENJAMIN F. MALLARD. munity in which he lives and in other places where he has labored, the Rev. Benjamin F. Mallard, pastor of the Congregational church at Raleigh, N. C., is doing a commendable work. In connection with the various organizations of his church for spiritual helpfulness Rev. Mr Mallard has added many FIVE CENTS A COPY interesting features to his church work which are attracting and binding the young people to the church. The reading room is supplied with books, papers, magazines and pictures. There are also a gymnasium and a sewing school. Rev. Mr. Mallard is a graduate of Talladega college and of Oberlin university, from which he received the degree of bachelor of divinity. He is the general secretary and treasurer of the state Sunday school convention and moderator of the Central North Carolina association of his denomination. His earnestness as a minister and capability as an educator,coupled with his manly bearing,have endeared him to the people of the community. Institutions Which Deserve Help. The National Orphan and Educational association and the American institute, under the fostering care of the Rev. C. B. W. Gordon, at Petersburg, Va., are worthy institutions which have for their object the bettering of conditions among our people along all helpful lines. Perhaps there is no pastor in the tidewater section of the state who does a more needful work for our people in connection with his pastoral duties than the Rev. Mr. Gordon. Recent reports show that these institutions are not forgotten by our people in a financial way, but there is room for a much larger number, who by their co-operation would enable the management to increase the usefulness of both the orphans' home and the American institute. Going Where Chickens Run Wild. Going Where Chickens Run Wild. The people of Greenville, S. C., are taking a lively interest in theatrical affairs as the season comes on. The Majestic theater is meeting with much success. London Johnson is cleaning up with "I Am Going Where Chickens Run Wild." Isaac Williams is singing "Where I Was Born There Aln't No Blustering Storms." Mrs. Beatrice Johnson is giving "Down Among the Sugar Cane;" Mrs. Mack Daniels, "I Want Some One to Be Real Nice to Me." They also have the gold dust twins, singing "Sleep, Baby, Sleep." Denominational Lines Brushed Aside. The Bridge Street A. M. E. church, Brooklyn, has joined hands with the Concord Baptist church in arranging for a public memorial service to be held in honor of the late Dr. William Thomas Dixon, who was for forty-six years the honored and beloved pastor of the latter church. The service will be held in the Baptist temple, Brooklyn, Oct. 2S, in the evening. The Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson of Washington will deliver the eulogy. Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga.; Dr. W. A. Creditt of Philadelphia and Rev. Charles S. Morris of Delawanna, N. J. are among the out of town speakers. TRUE AND TRIED FRIEND. Professional Man Who Works Beyond Mere Pecuniary Interest. Few cities in North Carolina of similar size and surroundings can boast of a larger number of business and professional men than are to be found in Wilson. Among the professional men who have worked their way up from the bottom to prominence in the community is Dr. F. S. Hargraves, who is a graduate from the medical department of Shaw university, at Raleigh. During his six years' practice as a medical physician in Wilson he has sought to aid his patients beyond the point of mere professional service. He has advised them in matters relating J. DR. F. S. HARGEAVES. to the prevention and spread of disease, how to bring about the best sanitary conditions in the house and has also taught them the value of properly ventilating their houses, especially the portion used for sleeping rooms. Being a business man and the owner of a splendid pharmacy with capable clerks, Dr. Hargraves has been able to extend his usefulness beyond that of professional lines only. He has made a sociological study of conditions among our people, and he does not hold back any necessary information from them for pecuniary or selfish ends. Besides his large practice, he is interested in the business life of the community. As president of the Lincoln Benefit and Insurance society he has been the means of helping a large number of persons. Shaw university is proud of Dr. Hargraves, in whom the race has a true and tried friend. Baptists Show Substantial Progress. The report of S. W. Babcote, statistical secretary of the National Baptist convention at its recent session in Columbus, O., credited that denomination with having 18,534 churches, 20,000 Sunday schools, 250 colleges and high schools, 165 religious and secular papers, 2,500,000 members and owning property to the value of $4,000,000. The Race Not Living on Charity. The fact that out of a population of 23,000 Afro-Americans in Macor county, Ga., only six persons have applied for maintenance at the county almshouse within the past eight years a glowing tribute to the thrift and industry of our people.

He also stated that the kid is in fine shape to give a few exhibition bouts. Challenges are accepted through this office. Sporting Editor. There are clubs and clubs, but none like the Calumet club. There seems to be very little interest manifested in football among our boys in the city, no particular cause being given more than the usual excuse of being afraid to get hurt. There is material a-plenty but ambition extends no farther than a few getting together long enough to play one game on Thanksgiving and immediately leave the arena. We feel sure that a good strong team would gain recognition with the best amateurs in the city. Van Johnson of this city, as far as can be learned, is the only negro that has made the big teams, playing tackle on Dartmouth. Y. M. C. B. TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

OTHER ATHLETICS in the playing of many of the club members. The club has been handicapped by a lack of playing room and proper facilities for entertaining visitors. It is hoped that interest next year will be greater than this and with combined efforts of the club and a few more financial members it will be possible to procure a double court. Several young ladies showed marked ability, and will in time make good players. Miss Mabel Andrews defeated Miss Senora Finley for the Ladies' championship, Mr. E.

New England Suffrage League Takes Bold Stand For the Protection of the Race In All Cases According to Law as American Citizens—Ovation to Editor W. M. Trotter. By N. B. DODSON. In the large auditorium of the St. Paul Baptist church, Camden street, Boston, at the closing session of the sixth annual meeting of the N. E. Suffrage league, from an audience of 1,100 citizens, chiefly colored, Bishop Alexander Walters of New York, president of the National Independent Political league, received a remarkable ovation as he declared with ringing eloquence that the great need of the colored race more than money or even education was the free ballot in the hands of the colored people of the south. He appealed fervently for courage and self assertion in all public places and institutions, at the same time declaring that President Taft's southern policy was the most injurious possible and confessing his own greatest mistake in not sooner joining the radical race champions opposing the Tuskegee policies of silence, subserviency and surrender of rights. The bishop paid an eloquent tribute to what he termed the "Garrisonian policy" and persistence of the editor of the Guardian, William Monroe Trotter, the newly elected president of the league, amid great applause and called upon the audience to give a rising Chautauqua salute to the editor and his wife, who were present. --- The bishop enologized John Brown at length and called for a baptism of his spirit. A feature of the meeting was the witty and eloquent speech of Dr. Cornelius McKane, who has just gone to Boston from Savannah, Ga., who said that there were many white people in the south well disposed toward the colored people, but they were afraid to speak out because of the overwhelming anti-Negro public sentiment, and in politics the man who said "Down with the nigger!" was sent to congress and the man who said "Fair play!" was kept at home. He praised Booker T. Washington for his great school and regretted he had not stopped at that. He said he did not ask Booker Washington to be outspoken in rural districts of the south, but to leave his race alone as far as its politics and fight for freedom were concerned. The doctor declared that the rank and file of the southern colored men were honest and manly, but that they were sold out in politics by the officeholders and leaders. This was shown by sending delegates to the Republican convention at Chicago, the colored south being in reality overwhelmingly for Senator Foraker. The applause was deafening when Dr. McKane declared that President Taft was the worst enemy of the colored race ever in the White House, not even excepting President Andrew Johnson. He asserted that in Savannah the colored Republicans prevented Savannah going for Taft because of his treatment of Senator Foraker, the colored soldiers and his quasi-indorsement of southern disfranchisement. He said personally he went and voted direct for Bryan. The meeting was opened by Mr. E. T. Morris of Cambridge. William M. Trotter, president, presided and spoke of the undoing of the work for freedom for which John Brown sacrificed his life fifty years ago, especially singling out the increase of the jimcrow insult, of disfranchisement and of lynching. He declared the league would continue to agitate and to urge organized political action until the colored citizens had equal civil and political rights and the necessary protection of the ballot in the south as well as the north. Rev. J. H. Wiley and Rev. S. W. Smith of Providence, R. L., related the strong and finally unsuccessful protest of colored citizens against the production of the "Clansman" and aroused the audience by telling how the play slandered the colored men and insulted colored women and engendered racial animosity. Both declared wherever the "Clansman" was permitted the colored voters should organize and resent it at the ensuing election, using the slogan, "Remember Brownsville!" Rev. W. H. Scott of Woburn eulogized the late Henry B. Blackwell, the old line abolitionist; the late Rev. P. T. Stanford, a past officer of the league, and the late William Lloyd Garrison, who, like his illustrious father, was an advocate of freedom and human equality. Mr. John Daniels of the African Anti-slavery society urged the broadening of the league and the idea of worldwide organization of the Negro race. The address to the country was read by the Rev. John L. Davis of Malden. It asked the colored people of the country to celebrate on Dec. 29 the fiftieth anniversary of the public murder of John Brown, the martyr to the abolition of slavery. As indicating the grave crisis confronting the race mention was made of four decisions of the supreme court—the "Brickhouse case," upholding the disfranchising constitution of Virginia; the "Berea school case, allowing a state to make it a crime to educate white and colored children in the same institution; the refusal to act on the Brownsville soldier case and the decision that the fourteenth amendment did not cover lynching. President Taft's inaugural statement that he would not give colored citizens federal positions where white citizens objected and his posi- tion in regard to the disfranchising constitutions were declared more injurious even than the course of President Theodore Roosevelt. President Taft's encouragement of the southern Lily White party, which is called the "unkindest cut of all," is claimed as a vindication of the league in opposing his nomination and election. The opinion is expressed that many of the race have been convinced that the league was right and that the race can no longer depend upon the Republican party after its years of remarkable loyalty. The race must divide its vote for men who will stand by the constitution, especially the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Much enthusiasm was aroused by a cablegram from Paris by Mr. William English Walling, which read, "Regret absence deeply; the world has no more momentous cause," and a telegram from General Andrew S. Burt, former commander of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who said, "Say to the brethren, 'Go forth and preach race patriotism to our people.'" The officers elected were: President, William M. Trotter, Boston; vice president at large, J. H. Magnett, New Bedford, Mass.; first vice president, J. H. Wiley, Providence, R. L.; second vice president, Johnson W. Hill, Boston; third vice president, Charles King, Cambridge, Mass.; recording secretary, A. W. Adams, Norwich, Conn.; corresponding secretary, W. W. Ryan; assistant corresponding secretary, Mrs. George Tyler; treasurer, Emory T. Morris; chaplain, Rev. O. E. Denneston; sergeant-at-arms, George R. Crawford, and statistician, F. S. Munroe. PRIVATE EVENING SCHOOL Miss Booker's Worthy Undertaking to Help Young Men and Women. Miss Ruby K. Booker, who won the championship for accuracy in the class in stenography and typewriting at the Young Women's Christian association in Brooklyn last June, has evening classes in stenography, typewriting and elementary studies at 140 Duffield street, Brooklyn, for those persons who desire instruction in such branches and who may not have the time to attend day school. Quite a number have enrolled in these classes, which is an encouraging sign of the desire on the part of our young men and women to prepare themselves to fill better paying positions. Miss Booker will give personal attention to each scholar. This of itself is a double advantage to the student, which could not be expected in the evening classes of the public schools because of the large attendance and the variety of subjects which one teacher has to look after in the course of a simple study hour. Miss Booker is worthy of congratulation as well as liberal support for being brave enough to undertake such a responsibility for the benefit of the young people of the community. We should like to see such a movement started in all of the large cities where so many of our young folks are idling away their time. We must rise by personal effort and ambition, and there is no better time to begin than the present to prepare for future usefulness. BOUGHT PROFESSOR A FLAG BOUGHT PROFESSOR A FLAG Students Came to Rescue of Loved Instructor Who Stood Out for The late Prof. Arthur Latham Perry of Williams college, the widely-known free trader, was accustomed to edify his political economy classes in the seventies with the statement that he would never buy a flag for the tall flagstaff on his new house until the tariff was taken off bunting. The class of 1879, in its junior year, determined that the much-loved professor's house should not be without this patriotic adornment indefinitely, as it bade fair to be so far as the tariff and the professor were concerned. Accordingly, a very large flag was bought by class subscription, and one day, at the close of the lecture hour, it was unveiled in the professor's lecture room and presented to the professor by one of the class in a very humorous speech, to which the professor appropriately responded, declaring in his opening sentence: "You could not have done a kinder thing if you had thought ten years." This flag floated over the professor's house on all patriotic days during the remainder of his life. When the survivors of the class of 1879 entered the banquet hall recently for their 30th reunion dinner, they were surprised and pleased to find that the family of Prof. Perry had caused the wall back of the head of the table to be draped with that old flag—a delicate and touching reminder of a pleasant college episode of 31 years ago. Chinese Tree for California. As a result of the labors of trained explorers of the bureau of plant industry in China the forest service has been furnished with a supply of seeds of the Pistacia chinesis, an oriental tree resembling somewhat the California pepper tree. These seeds were gathered from trees growing in the province of Shantung, China, where some of them have reached large proportions. A tree standing at the grave of Confucius has a diameter of over four feet. They are well adapted to dry regions and are very long lived. It is hoped the trees grown from this seed will serve as a stock for the pistachio nut of commerce.—San Francisco Call. Port Arthur Barracks a School. It is a curious aftermath of the great war between Russia and Japan and of the vast program of ambitious aggression which culminated in the war that the Japanese government has decided to convert the Russian barracks at Port Arthur into a high industrial school (koka gakudo). The fact is announced by the Official Gazette, and the numbers and ranks of the officials forming the faculty of the school are detailed. The institution is to be under the jurisdiction of the governor general of Kwantung. The destination of these specious barracks had long been a subject of discussion and conjecture, and the Japanese government is to be congratulated on the use to which it has finally determined to put them.—Japan Mail.

THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. RISING YOUNG EDUCATOR. Miss White, Who Won Distinction as Student, Appointed Teacher. The appointment of Miss Edith B. White of Bay City, Mich., as a teacher in the public schools of that city has given much satisfaction and encouragement to the Afro-American population. Miss White is the fourth young woman of our race in Bay City to receive such appointment. Previous teachers were the Misses M. E. Edmunds, Lulu L. Hamilton and Lena Grant. Miss White, who is just nineteen years of age, is the daughter of M. MISS EDITH B. WHITE. Mr. and Mrs. C. T. White. After completing the grammar school course Miss White entered the Easton high school, where by diligent study she finished the English-Latin course in three and a half years, graduating with high honors. She was class historian and also the youngest member in the class. The high standing that she had attained enabled her to be one of seven out of a class of more than 100 to secure a place in the training school, from which she graduated last January. After graduation Miss White acted as substitute teacher until the close of the school in June. Upon the opening of the term in September she entered upon the duties of a regular teacher In the Washington school of Bay City. Miss White is the only member of the race holding such a position in that city. She is a popular favorite in society, a musician of note and has a lovable and winning disposition. If one is to judge from her past achievements, it is safe to say that if she continues the future will give her an honored place among the brilliant educators of our race. Dr. James R. White of Chicago has been in Washington attending the convention of military surgeons at the fashionable New Willard. Dr. White has military rank and distinction and has kept up a lively interest in current happenings.

The Cankering Virus of Mob Rule Destroys All Wholesome Life In the Body Politic-State of Siege Not Wanted. The following extracts from the recent speech of Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson at the state fair, Nashville, Tenn., is practical, sane and sound. It is strong enough to make the governor of each state wake up to a sense of his duty as the state's chief executive, and it ought also to cause the central government at Washington to take a long, deep breath. Secretary Dickinson said: "It is idle to talk of a settlement of the Negro question in the sense that all agitation and controversy will cease. You might as well talk of settling the poverty question or the labor question. There can be no settlement so as to remove forever controversy arising from the continuing conditions of millions of one race of people living in a country with another race, both having the same rights and opportunities under the existing law and theoretically the same citizenship, with its attendant rights. In any aspect the question is portentous. "If the white people assert the right to govern, then the government should be one of fairness and justice, a government of law and not of passion. The courts, and not mobs, should punish lawbreakers. Negroes should be protected in their property rights, settled with justly and governed by the constituted authorities. The cankering virus of mob rule, no matter against what evils directed, destroys all wholesome life in the body politic 1 and makes it a polluted wreck, swayed by passion and incapable of the ordinary administration of law. "No civilization can expand on broad and high lines where communities are terrorized by mob rule. We do not want a state of siege, continuous conflict and the exhibition of the mailed hand. We want peace, the growth of the arts and sciences and such conditions as will invite commerce and at least migration within our borders, if not immigration. To control with any THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD degree of permanency, even for our own time, the race question it must be on such a basis as will appeal to the enlightened judgment, sympathy and co-operation of the best people of the white race all over this country. We can for a time maintain supremacy by violence and disorder without such cooperation, but it will be at a frightful cost. We ought to maintain it with a healthful, advancing and not a retarded civilization, under peaceful conditions and the reign of the law. This should be done with the highest degree of protection and justice to the Negro compatible with white political control." STATE BAPTISTS TO MEET. Coming Session at New Rochelle May Plan Independent Work. The next annual meeting of the New York Baptist state convention will be held with the Bethesda Baptist church of New Rochelle, N. Y., beginning Tuesday, Oct. 19. The primary object of the convention is to do missionary work in the state by assisting small churches, missions, Sunday schools and other institutions of a religious character. The convention has formerly done most of its home and foreign mission work through the New England Baptist missionary convention, to which the majority if not all of the churches of the state convention belong. But as there was much dissatisfaction on account of the abrupt manner in which the New England convention treated the New York delegation at its Boston session last June the probabilities are the New York state convention may perfect plans at the coming session to do its work independent of that institution in the future. WHY THE LAW IS POWERLESS Where Whites Swear They Are Black Conviction Is Impossible. "She's my wife. We have lived together thirty-eight years. The law cannot estrange us." Thus spoke Joseph Lawrence, a white farmer, in the second criminal court at New Orleans. La., recently, while he was waiting trial on the charge of marrying a colored woman. Through the arrest of Lawrence and his colored wife the police discovered a hard situation. All around Lee Station the white farmers and fishermen and other classes have intermarried with colored people and reared large families regardless of the law against such. A number of arrests have been made, but it has been impossible to convict one for the reason that the white parties all went on the stand and swore they were colored. Just what the prosecuting attorney can do remains to be seen.—New Orleans Picayune. Orphan Boys Popular In Concert. The Jenkins Orphanage band of Charleston, S. C., is making many friends on its northern tour. Twenty-five of the boys composing the band took part in a grand concert a few nights ago at the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church in Brooklyn and were cheered lustily for the able manner in which they performed their part. The boys are deserving of the liberal support which they are receiving from the public. The proceeds from these church, society and street concerts are used for the maintenance of the orphanage at Charleston, which is doing commendable work for the little folk under its protection.

MISS ELLA STARNS INTRODUCES MARRIED SISTER, MRS. CRAIG, TO SOCIETY. On September 15, quietly, at Littleton, Colorado, when very few of their friends were present, there happened the marriage of Miss Estelle Tribue and Mr. Walter Craig, both of Omaha, Neb. At the residence of Mrs. A. G. Fallings, 1919 Clarkson, Wednesday night this marriage was celebrated and the guests were introduced by the pleasing Miss Ella Starns. Never has there gathered anywhere such a congenial and pleasant crowd of representative middle-aged and young people. Miss Vera Ward presided at the piano, playing the wedding march from Mendelsohn, while Mrs. Lillian Jones sang "Love Me and the World Is Mine," and as Miss Lenore Findley sweetly sang "O, Promise Me," the merry guests bowed their heads in hearty assent. Mr. Wayman Ward officiated and led the bridal march while the attending ladies were Misses Nichols, Findley, Lyons, Jones and Green, and the groom's escorts were Messrs. Ross, Langston, Walker, Barber and Allian Davis, and Rev. Hazel came in just in time to give his well-wished blessings. After the ceremony was again performed the showers of rice, old shoes, nuts, candies and fruit came thick and fast until every male guest kissed the bride and the happy revelers reluctantly parted for their several homes. The event was marked for vivacity, social color and lots of real milrth. Mrs. A. G. Fallings and Miss Lottie Jones were responsible for the entertainment of the guests. THE STATESMAN wishes the happy couple the best of the best things in life. Mr. Craig will leave for St. Louis in two weeks', where he will go into a lucrative trade. Three other announcements were made Wednesday night to take place next year.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty God to remove from our midst one of our highest esteemed sisters, Ruth Marks, who by name was born Ruth, but by secrets, degrees and obligations was made an earthly Ruth. Sister Marks joined Household Ruth No. 376, of the city of Denver, April 20, 1897, and has never failed to do her duty as a Ruth for twelve long years. We have counseled, been on committees and in many other ways been sisterly associated with her, and always found her agreeable to approach on any subject, as long as it was for the uplifting of the Household and did not conflict with the law. Isn't this a beautiful character of itself? Willing to be governed by one of the books of God's Holy Bible, and if you would like to know more of her faithfulness as a past officer read carefully the book of Ruth. Resolved, That we, the Household of Ruth, do deeply feel her loss, and extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of sorrow, of the loss of a devoted mother and a faithful wife, the Household commits you to God above. He can all our sorrows heal. I hope when the Messenger calls Sister Marks she will answer, as I have heard her answer so often in our work together on earth, "If it is my time, all right." Past Most Noble Governess, rest in peace and happiness. MARTHA RILEY, NELLIE WALKER. MARY E. HOLMES.

Prominent Educators and Government Officials Hear Noted Industrial Leader's Address at Opening of Forty-second Session of Medical School at Nation's Capital. By OLIVER RANDOLPH The forty-second session of Howard University Medical school, which began a few days ago at Washington, will be remembered long on account of its most significant opening exercises. Professor Booker T. Washington, the farfamed founder of Tuskegee, delivered the address. His coming had been announced, and Andrew Rankin chapel, where for the first time in the history of the Medical school the exercises were held, was filled to overflowing. The occasion was one for the coming together of the leaders in Washington life. Seated on the platform were Assistant Secretary of the Interior Wilson, the trustees of Howard university, the faculty of the Medical school, trustees and officials of the city schools, men holding prominent governmental positions, as well as men and women high in business and in professional walks of life. Dr. Balloch, dean of the Medical school, presided. President Thirkield made the opening address, reviewing the history of the school and urging the medical students to bring honor to the profession. Professor Kelly Miller's definitions of a sociologist and an orator furnished Dr. Washington with a thought for his introductory remarks. He announced that for the evening he intended to be the sociologist and not the orator. He was most successful in adhering to his announced intention. Whether he was paying tribute to the founders of the school or calling the roll of some of her great men, such as Drs. Reyburn, Shadd and Purvis; whether speaking of the success of the medical graduate whom he had met on his travels or appealing to the young men to lead clean lives; whether holding up the shining example of the success of the young Medical school secretary, Dr. McNeil, and calling upon the young men to take him as their example or warning the young men against the temptations of city life; whether exhorting them to economize their time or invoking them not to get into bad company; whether picturing to them the evils of strong drink or imploring them to attend Sunday school and church, Mr. Washington was indeed following the trend of the sociologist because he stated his facts first and then drew his conclusions. "Don't go to everybody's church," said the speaker, "but find one of your own." Mr. Washington spoke of how he found time to read his Bible every day, saying that he read it for its historical, literary, moral and spiritual benefits. The address was teeming with good advice, interspersed with humor, full of thought and had an excellent effect upon his hearers. After calling upon the public to stand by President Thirkield in his effort to raise the standard of the school he closed, expressing great pride that he belonged to a race that was doing THE STATESMAN.

Grand United Order of Moses' Annual Meeting Oct. 19-22. The forty-second grand annual encampment of the Grand United Order of Brothers and Sisters, Sons and Daughters of the Order of Moses will be held in New York, beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 19, and will continue for four days. The sessions will be held in the Baptist temple, One Hundred and Sixteenth street, near Fifth avenue. The order in New York and Brooklyn will tender a magnificent reception to the visitors on Thursday evening, Oct. 21, at the American theater, on Forty-second street. The officers of the grand encampment are: Solomon Bond, Baltimore, grand master; W. S. Jones, New York deputy grand master; Miss M. E. Hayes, Tennallytown, D. C., grand vice; Mrs. Julia Briggs, Brooklyn, past grand vice; T. L. Sales, New York city, grand high priest; A. A. Spriggs, Baltimore, grand treasurer; James M. Seward, Baltimore, grand financial secretary; Joseph P. Smith, Schenectady, N. Y., grand recording secretary; Mrs. Mary I. Posey, Ironsides, Md., grand left hand support; Mrs. Mary Dorsey, Washington, grand right hand conductor; Mrs. Sarah Bryan, South Orange, N. J., grand left hand conductor; John Ford, Chestertown, Md., grand outside sentinel; Isaiah A. Briscoe, Baltimore, grand inside sentinel, and Isaiah B. King, New York, grand organizer. Organization Belies Its Name. The National Protective legion, which held its annual session at Wilkesbarre, Pa., the latter part of September, adopted some drastic measures before it adjourned, one of which was that in the future no Afro-Americans should be admitted to membership and that those holding membership at the present time be shut out. This organization is national and protective, but such action for the sole cause of color belies its name. There is no protection in it, and it narrows down to a very small margin. Stop Jimcrowing the President. There is a growing tendency among Afro-Americans to have a short and complete stop put to the custom of having separate speeches to them whenever the president of the United States or any other officer of the national government visits the various sections of the country. This was made more than plain when a committee of Afro-American citizens at Jackson. Miss., called on the general committee having charge of the reception to President Taft on his visit to that city Nov. 1. To continue such a practice is nothing more or less than jim-crowing the president. Advisory Board Has New Member. THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN, Prop. & Mgr.

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."

Occasionally a ray of hope shoots athwart the sky of our race's struggle for existence. Some months ago there occurred a change in the Shirley hotel whereby eastern cooks were imported here and replaced the colored force under Chef B. C. Curtis. We related in our news columns Mr. Curtis success in getting other situations such as had not before been held by a member of the race, yet there was a little sad note in our thoughts that white men had replaced colored. Now we are glad to chronicle that Mr. Curtis and helpers have replaced the imported white help and the terms of their going back are better than when they left, saying in a manner stronger than words that their service was superior. No incident in the recent years of Denver brings out more strongly the advantage which the man has who really delivers the goods. Color is an accident. It sets a handicap, but it is not unsurmountable. In a business way, because of the printing department which is attached to this newspaper, we have been much thrown in contact with the Japanese. We have come to know, first-hand, of their bakeries, their coal companies, notion stores, tailor shops, ets. They make them pay. They outwork and underbid competition. The prejudice of the American people is not proof against their one argument of better and cheaper service. So could it also be with us, if we would but try to win our way. We are too prone to monkey-shines, and excuses. We want a man's treatment for a child's service. Outward show rather than innate merit seems to be the aspiration of too many of us. Let the lesson of the Shirley hotel, and the example of the little Japs teach us that it is ourselves and not our color that most makes for failure. Persons sending in news will please oear in mind that names of people are hard to get correctly from hand writing. From time to time we make the most grievous twists of persons' names from no fault of ours, but because handwriting is difficult to read in this particular. Take time to go over your items and PRINT RATHER THAN WRITE THE NAMES. Some months ago we sent to you, along with other subscribers out of the city of Denver, statements of accounts.

After one month we will place these accounts in the hands of a regular collection agency. Some patrons try to claim they are misused by us when we attempt collection through an agency. We wish to serve this notice now so that there will be no chance of any such claim in this instance. Then if debtors do not pay up, the fault is --- PAGE.8 TO COLORADO SPRINGS THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

Every child yet unborn, every infant in the cradle and every man and woman in the state of Colorado will be affected by the decision to be rendered by the supreme court of this state when that august body passes upon the civil and legal rights of the negroes of this state. If these cases are not properly backed and supported by the negroes by their financial and moral support, the policy of theater managers, tramway transportation and the railroads operating in this state which concerns the negro will be such that "Jim Crow" cars, both in the streets cars and upon railroads, will be experienced. If the principle which permits a citizen to take his prejudice into a public place obtains then Colorado will be like any other southern state; so the negro must, like the laboring man and woman, fight for their rights. There will be a civil rights fund started by the Alliance to appeal Mr. Ross' case, which happened at the Auditorium and everybody will be asked to contribute. Lawyer W. B. Townsend will try the case in the county court. Mr. J. W. Bailey and Prof. Hike charmingly entertained the Alliance by a violin and mandolin solo Sunday.

A huge black elephant had been hoisted over the pulpit, a veritable sword of Damocles, to show what was needed, and the clubs had been organized and captains enlisted for the warfare on the black elephant. Motto cards with all the accompanying enthusiasm also played a part in the effort. So the preparation of weeks came to a climax. Mrs. C. D.

Mr. Reeves is our only colored blacksmith, having his shop located at 2942 Lari mer street. He is the man against whom the combined efforts of the white blacksmiths have been turned but to no avail. He is continuing his business with an ever-growing support from a large clientele of customers. Rev. A. M. Ward will be in the city in time to occupy his own pulpit at Shorter church Sunday night. Especial interest attaches to the meeting of the Y. M. C. B. Sunday afternoon at Campbell church, for it is then that the arrangements for the lecture of Booker T. Washington will be further perfected. Mrs. M. B. Fields received the sad intelligence last week that her son Albert, who had been making his home in Chicago, had passed away. The remains were received in this city for burial by the Douglass Undertaking company and on Monday the friends gathered at 2417 Ogden street for the last sad rites, which were conducted by Rev. Over, pastor of Zion Baptist church, the church of which Mr. Fields' father was pastor many years ago. The interment was at Fairmount cemetery. Death came from Bright's disease and after only a brief illness. Well-known and liked by the young people whom he well knew years ago before leaving the city, it was sad for them to receive him back into their midst after life's fitful fever was past.

Last Sunday was the culmination of the rally at Zion church for which it has been preparing for some weeks. A huge black elephant had been hoisted over the pulpit, a veritable sword of Damocles, to show what was needed, and the clubs had been organized and captains enlisted for the warfare on the black elephant. Motto cards with all the accompanying enthusiasm also played a part in the effort. So the preparation of weeks came to a climax Sunday when the roll was called and the clubs and captains responded. Over $1,400 in cash was laid on the table with pledges rolling in through the present week yet to be added to the grand total. So it seems probable that $1,600 will be the net result of the effort. This money is to be directly applied on the mortgage debt of the church. This leaves Zion's church building and its six lots on the corner of Twentieth and Arapahoe streets under approximately $2,500 debt. Considering that this is the most valuable single holding of any of the race in the city, the congregation is proud of its showing.

MANY WORKED ON WIRELESS As Far Back as 1853 Lord Kelvin Was Experimenting with the Principle. Wireless telegraphy has many discoverers. As has been so often the case in any branch of physics, whether pure or applied, the name of Lord Kelvin is associated with the discovery. In 1853 he gave forth the theory of oscillation. In 1865 Maxwell propounded the theory of electrical waves, and in 1888 Hertz practically discovered them. Sir Oliver Lodge was looking for the waves at the same time, and was successful in finding them running along wires in the same year that Hertz discovered them going through space. In 1890 he was able to take a further step, developing the receiving arrangements for the detection of these waves by means of the principle which he decided to call syntony. At the same time another word, coherer, was added to the language. In 1894 he was able to give a demonstration before the British association of signaling across space without wires, and about the same time he published a book. In 1895 Admiral Popoff of the Russian navy and Capt. Jackson of the English navy carried the idea a little further, and then in 1896 Macconi took up the matter with great pertinacity and marked success. SINGERS BELIEVE IN CHARMS. According to Caruso, Most Great Artists Have More or Less Feel- "We of the opera," writes Caruso in the Gentlewoman, "are often inclined to be superstitious. One woman, a distinguished and most intelligent artist, crosses herself repeatedly before taking her cue, and a prima donna who is a favorite on two continents and who is always escorted to the theater by her mother invariably goes through the very solemn ceremony of kissing her mother goodby and receiving her blessing before going on to sing. The young woman feels that she could not possibly sing a note if the mother's eye were not on her every movement from the wings. "Another famous singer wears a small bracelet that was given to her when an infant by Gounod. She has grown somewhat stout of late years and the hoop of gold has been reinforced so often that there is hardly any of the great composer's original gift left. Still, she feels that it is a charm which has made her success, and whether she sings the part of a lowly peasant or of a princess the bracelet is always visible. "These little customs are not confined to the women singers either, for the men are equally fond of observing some little tradition to cheer them in their performance." Deadhead's Nerve. Oscar Asche, who, with his wife, Miss Lily Brayton, is on his way to Australia, his native land, which he left 18 years ago, remarked just before he set sail, apropos the slump in theaters, that the dealhead is a destroyer of drama. "While I was touring with a certain highly respected manager we were playing at a long; famous old playhouse in an ancient town. We had billed 'Macbeth' for the Friday night, but during that day the theater was PAGE. 2 burned down. for our next week there our chief contrived to borrow a playhouse a little way out of the district. On reaching there to rehearse on Monday the manager received a letter saying that the writer had been given two dress circle orders for the performance of 'Macbeth,' but as that play was not performed owing to the destruction of the theater, the writer surmised that the manager would remit the money value of those orders." A Fruitful Potato Plant. Not satisfied with yielding an enormous output in the regular way, an Irish potato vine growing in the garden of C. C. Nall at Luthersville, Ga., some time ago began to put out potatoes all along its branches, and when sent to the Constitution office the other day, had potatoes as large as eggs growing practically all over the vine. In a letter accompanying the freak Mr. Nall states that the vine grew in his garden, where the land is a mixture of sand and red clay. On taking up the plant, he found that the industrious vine had not neglected its regular duty while pulling off its unusual stunt, as proven by the fact that an unusually large number of potatoes were found in their accustomed place in the ground.—Atlanta Constitution. His First Thought. While skating, he had ventured on thin ice and gone through into the pond. Just as he was about to go down for the third time his companions dragged him forth. Now he stood by the bank, dripping wet and thoroughly dazed. He gazed about him vacantly. "I—I must go back for my glasses," he said. Foiled. A man met a doctor he knew one morning, and being one type of grafter, he thought to work him for a free prescription. After some small talk he asked quite incidentally: "Doctor, what would you give for a sore throat?" "Nothing," replied the doctor, promptly, for he knew his man; "I don't want a sore throat." Chinese Secret Societies in Java. An ordinance just passed in Java falls heavily upon Chinese societies in Netherlands, India. A fine of 100 guilders or three months rigorous imprisonment is the penalty for every Chinaman found in possession of secret society documents or emblems or caught wearing the distinguishing marks of these organizations. Those who preside over the meetings of such societies, allow meetings to be held in their houses or fail to inform the authorities of such gatherings being held incur similar penalties. The latter also fall upon Chinamen who recruit for these societies, supply them with money or give them help in any way. Cured Hen of Desire to Set. A Marion (O.) woman has discovered an original practice for breaking hens of the practice of hatching, regardless of duckings, which is an old-fashioned method of prevention. The woman had such a hen, which she put to set on a nest of two china eggs and an ordinary alarm clock with the alarm set. When the alarm went off, the hen came off the nest with a clutter and shrieking that disturbed the entire neighborhood. The hen has not been near the nest since.
