FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN DR. WASHINGTON LECTURES MONDAY TWENTIETH YEAR DR. W LEC Th next few days will be memorable in the history of this city. The coming of Booker T. Washington, which has been heralded for some weeks, is arousing the community both to the benefits that will come to it from his presence, but alike to the need of the Y. M. C. A. work in which interest he will speak. The reputation of Mr. Washington as a speaker is world wide. He has addressed the most intellectual audiences of the white race that have ever assembled and his technical knowledge has made M. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON him a member of educational committees serving with such eminent men as President Taft himself. Then too, he is the business head of a corporation with the largest working capital of any Negro institution in this country. He handles millions of dollars, he directs the energies of thousands of workers, and he has set the feet of tens of thousands in the path that has led them to the greater usefulness. Because of his unique position recognized as a great man by the white race as well as by his own, the desire to see him pervades all classes and the sale of tickets to his lecture is proceeding at a fast rate. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY OCTOBER 30 1909 Denver proposes to honor him in every possible way from the hour he arrives, Monday, until his departure on Tuesday. His time has already been sought by the white teachers' association, and he will address them at 3 p. m. Tuesday at the East Denver High School. Invitations from other organizations have come, but his time will not permit him to respond. With this class of interest from the whites in his visit here, it is the better understood that from first to last his trip will be an ovation. The details of his stay are: Arrives at 5:55 p. m. Monday, over the Rock Island; lunches at Mrs. Atwood's, his stopping place, Twenty-second and Clarkson streets; speaks at the People's Tabernacle, Twentieth and Lawrence streets, at 8 p. m.; is guest of honor at a banquet after the speaking given by the Tuskegee Alumni at Shorter church; guest of Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams at breakfast Tuesday at 834 Fox street; guest of Dean Hart at luncheon at noon; guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Muse at 5 p. m.; leaves at 7:35 for the east. A committee of eight persons will greet him at the depot at his coming, and they will sse to it that ne is made wholly welcome and entertained during his stay. Of importance next only to the speaker himself as a feature of the Monday evening's lecture is the person who will introduce him. Bishop Abram Grant, who has presided over this district of the A. M. E. church for the past six years, will make the introductory remarks. He it is whose close personal relations with Mr. Washington have enabled Denver to persuade him to come so far west, contrary to his usual custom. Bishop Grant has been associated with Mr. Washington in movements nationwide, and will speak with full knowledge touching the full import of his coming to this city. The popularity of the prelate, and the high standing of the teacher mean much to the success of this benefit for the Y. M. C. A. Persons who have not yet bought their tickets should bear in mind that they are on sale at 1022 Nineteenth street, the Knight Campbell Music Company, and the Central Y. M. C. A. On Monday the tickets will be so only at the People's Tabernacle during the afternoon and up until the evening. There are all indications of a full house and persons desiring seats had best buy at once. 1 BISHOP A. GRANT WHO WILL INTRODUCE DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON All persons are urged to secure their tickets as early as possible in order to avoid the rush. The doors will be opened at 7 p.m. and the lecture begins at 9 p.m. BISHOP WHO WILL INTRODUCE DR will arrive in the city today and will preach at Shorter Chapel A. M. E. church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, and consecrate a board of deaconesses. Bishop A. Grant has been invited FIVE CENTS A COPY NDAY The entire Y. M. C. B., reception committee, ushers of all the churches, and all interested in the lecture Monday night, are urged to meet at the People's Tabernacle Sunday at 3 p. m. A. GRANT R. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON and is expected to be present at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday afternoon at the People's Tabernacle at 3 p. m. and to hear the final arrangements for the Booker T. Washington lecture.

Realizing the importance of perfecting auxiliary movements to the church which will give life and growth to the membership and train the young people for active and beneficent service, the young people's society of the Methodist Episcopal churches connected with the Florence district of the South Carolina conference is preparing for a conference in the near future of the Afro-American leagues of the respective churches in their district. Professor I. Garland Penn of Atlanta, Ga., is deeply interested in this phase of church work among our people and has requested each church to renew its vigor in the Epworth league. Conspicuous in this body of young church workers is a theologian who received his collegiate training at Clafin university and at Gammon Theological seminary. These institutions rank with the best among Afro-American. Being inspired by the spirit for uplift at these schools, Rev. Benjamin S. Jackson, pastor of the M. E. church at Florence, S. C., where the Epworth league conference will be held, is bending his energies to make the conference a great success. The bishop of A. H. REV. BENJAMIN S. JACKSON. this diocese has particularly noted Rev. Mr. Jackson's success as a pastor and is highly pleased. His earnest solicitation for the conservation of the forces that will increase the influence of the church and ability to contribute to such forward movements have caused a strong sentiment for the centralizing of his endeavors in a larger field of usefulness for the denomination. With men of kindred inspiration in the lead, the leagues will plan a campaign to reach a larger number of persons and make the churches attractive to nonchurchgoers. No Liberian Report Before December. Hon. Emmett J. Scott is in Washington attending the sittings of the Liberian commission. The report of the commission will be finished during this month, but will hardly be made public before the opening of congress in December.

A. team here Saturday, and the result was a score of 0 to 0. The teams were evenly matched and neither side had a decided advantage as the score will indicate. The Western University boys relied on the old-fashioned football to make their gains and this was very effectual against the light-line which the Y. M. C. A. presented. The Y. M. C. A. used the forward pass several times for good gains, but were not successful in hitting the W. U. line. Captain Jamison, of the Y. M. C. A. team, was the star of the game. Although the Y. M. C. A. did not win, they can still boast of an uncrossed goal for three successive seasons. THE UNCON- QUERED ELEVEN The Topeka Y. M. C. A. plays the strong Kansas City Y. M. C. A. in Kansas City on Oct. 30. Hardy, who played against Denver University, will be in the game against the Kansas City Y. M. C. A., and will greatly strengthen the Topeka team. Y. M. C. A. VS SPOOPKINS. Thanksgiving morning is the time set for the first football game between two colored elevens in the city. Several scrub games have been played, but two organized elevens will meet for the first time. Quite a bit of rivalry exists between the teams and both are confident of winning. Twenty-third and Welton streets will be the battle ground. Come out and snout the battle cry for your favorite army. The Statesman will be glad to publish your sporting news. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. A COMPARISON OF THE COLORED PUGILISTS A FEW GRIDIRON STARS. "Bob" Johnson, a Denver boy, is making good on Dartmouth this year, playing a hard and consistent game every minute of play. The Massachusetts papers are loud in their praise for him. Gray, of Amherst, was a star last year, and his playing attracted the attention of Walter Van Camp, who gave him a place on the third All-American team, the first and only one ever accorded a colored player. When the negroes in various colleges make the 'varsity teams, it may be taken for granted that they are among the best on the team and have earned their place by faultless playing. In the hearts and minds of their fellow-students, the memory of Fred Roberts and Charley Jackson, of Colorado College; Will De Claybrook, of East Denver; Tanner, of Seattle High School; Caldwell and Ferrer, DeFrantz and Hardy, of Washburn, and many others, will live forever as "football heroes." THE FOOTBALL CLUB In the French capitol, Joe Jeannette and Sam McVey have for a long time been well in the limelight, both having won their way by showing their ability as fighters. Recent reports say that they have been receiving invitations on gold trays. Johnny Moore, a colored prizefighter, is in town under the management of Bob Watkins and is out with a challenge with any featherweight in the state. Bat Nelson, the lightweight title holder, seems perfectly safe with his title as far as colored opponents are concerned. We have not a lightweight that can take the measure of the Dane. We could have one man if at liberty and that is Jack Blackburn, one of the best lightweights in the country at present. Blackburn is 26 years old and at his heaviest weight is 135 pounds. I for one do not think Nelson could take the punishment that Blackburn could give him. Jack has the wallop in either hand. It has been proven by defeating such men as Dick Fitzpatrick, Dave Holley and big Mark Anderson, fought a draw with Sam Langford, the bout going 12 rounds, and six fast rounds with Joe Gans. He has fought 68 battles and out of them 10 men at his weight. The welterweight seems to have great trouble in finding who is champion. Mike T. Sullivan is present king of the welterweights, with only one colored lad wrestling the honors away from him and that is Kal Whitney. Whitney fought Sullivan and was defeated by the newspaper decision. There are a number of experts who think Kal is the master of Sullivan. If they should meet in a 20- round contest I pick Kal to slip away with the crown. Sam Langford ought to take notice of the middleweight division. I pick T him to beat Ketchell or Papke, who are now the topnotchers of that division. It would be a good bout between Sam and Ketchell, which Sam ought to take the measure of the Michigan lion with ease. All eyes are turned toward the heavyweight division, but we need not worry any longer about that. Jack Johnson has the title stored snugly away. Johnson is on his way to New York to sign articles with James J. Jeffries. Colorado has brought up some good colored prizefighters, but this fast life kills everything. Denver Ed Martin at one time was the coming heavyweight, but now he is an instructor at the Down-and-Out club. Arthur Collins was another good scrapper, but he was mismanaged. He was the best heavyweight of the Rocky moun- tains about six years ago. He fought Bob Watkins to a standstill at Sand creek. It is reported from the coast that he is doing splendid, but his age will not let him see the middleweight crown. Buddy King was a good lightweight but was climbing too fast to the crown. Buddy was all right until he fought Joe Gans at Butte and was knocked out in four rounds, since that time little has been heard of him. He has managed to fight a little around Kansas City and Omaha. Charlie Bell was considered one of the best 118-pound lads of the West, but he took to his likeness and followed the fast life and at the present time Charlie is a second-rater. He possessed a punch in either hand. Johnny Moore, a new featherweight, was given the decision over Bell. It is reported from the coast that Bell is a ghost of his former ability. OF TOPEKA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE There are a few more. Dick Fitzpatrick and McGuire, Otis Bruce and Young Gans, who will be prominent in a few years if they follow the right path. The accompanying photograph is the unconquered eleven of the Topeka Industrial Institute, an aggregation of youths from the states of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Washington, Colorado and other parts, while educating their hands and brains are making the football world sit up and take notice, until the present time having an uncrossed goal line.

George Meredith Did Not Believe Novelist's Work Would Live— Condemns Other Writers. "You may have histories, but you cannot have novels on periods so long ago. A novel can only reflect the moods of men and women around us, and, after all, in depicting the present we are dealing with the past, because the one is enfolded in the other. I cannot stomach the modern historical novel any more than I can novels which are three-fourths dialect. Thackeray's note was too monotonous; the 'Great Hoggarty Diamond,' next to 'Vanity Fair,' is most likely to live; it is full of excellent fooling. I met him and Dickins only a very few times. Not much of Dickins will live, because it has so little correspondence to life. He was the incarnation of cockneydom, a caricaturist who aped the moralist; he should have kept to short stories. If his novels are read at all in the future people will wonder what we saw in them, save some possible element of fun meaningless to them. The world will never let Mr. Pickwick, who to me is full of the lumber of imbecility, share honors with Don Quixote. I never cared for William Black's novels; there is nothing in them but fishing and sunsets. George Eliot had the heart of Sappho, but the face, with the long proboscis, the protruding teeth as of the Apocalyptic horse, betrayed animality. What of Lewes? Oh, he was the son of a clown; he had the legs of his father in his brain."—Fortnightly Review. THIEVES TO CATCH THIEVES. Many Former Bandits Now Enrolled in Mexico's Famous Corps of Mounted Police. The rurales or mounted police have pretty nearly put a stop to brigandage. Several years ago the government recognized the wisdom of the old adage, "Set a thief to catch a thief," and offered pardon and protection to all brigands who would enlist as rurales. Most of them took advantage of the offer, writes Dillon Wallace in Outing, and with these men on the side of law and order holdups soon became infrequent, and the rurales developed into a wonderfully efficient mounted force to hunt down bandits. They are fearless riders, they know every mountain pass and fastness, and when they once start after a man he is pretty sure to be caught or killed—generally killed. The rurales of Mexico compare favorably in bravery and reckless daring with that wonderful organization the Northwest Mounted Police of Canada and are by far the best armed force in Mexico. Their calling gives them opportunity for wild adventure, and thus satisfies the craving for a life of danger, which led many of them to be brigands in the first instance. They are a free and easy lot, quite in contrast to the peaceably inclined policemen of the towns and the slow moving, indolent soldiery of the regular army. Absent Minded. "Wilkins is the most absent minded cuss I ever met." "How so?" "Why, the last time he got into the barber's chair he pinned the newspaper around his neck and began to read the towel." THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. BRILLIANT YOUNG DIVINE. Rev. T. T. Branch, Central Figure In Racial Uplift at Fayetteville. Prominent among the great workers in the southland who are doing constructive work for the race is a class of young men with a thorough collegiate and theological training, assisted by their wives, who have broadened their conception of higher usefulness by taking the required preparation. Fayetteville, N. C., known nationally because of the large silk mill which gives employment to hundreds of youthful Afro-Americans, offers peculiar opoprtunities for self help. The Mary Potter school, Lincoln university and Auburn Theological seminary have so developed Rev. T. T. Branch, pastor of Haymount Presbyterian church, that he is a central figure in the life of his community. He enjoys the distinction of being the only Afro-American who made the 1 REV. T. T. BRANCH. senior class upon entering Auburn Theological seminary, a noted white institution. He sacrificed pleasure in order to graduate with honors from the college and theological departments of Lincoln university. Conditions in certain sections of the south claimed his attention, and upon entering his chosen profession he made a sociological study of them. He has entered fully into inner life of his people and is endeavoring to add certain features to his church that will come close to the domestic life of hundreds of young people who neglect home comforts for the display of dry goods. With the young men in his community he is idolized. In college he was conspicuous as an athlete, and he now encourages the healthy spirit of this form of exercise. He has displayed much executive ability by clearing his church of all debt and raising the standard of the city school for Afro-Americans. Macon County Fair at Tuskegee. The annual fair of Macon county. Ala., will be held upon the Tuskegee institute fair grounds Nov. 5 and 6. The executive council has decided that the school will close at noon on the second day of the fair in order that the teachers and students may attend. A large number of farmers and other persons interested in agricultural pursuits will be present.

Big Organization Has Grown Powerful All Kinds of Labor Given Protection-No Longer May Impositions be Heaped Upon Honest and Upright Laboring People. Of all the many things of interest to our race, it seems to the Editor that the least attention has been paid to one of the most important things to our people. We refer to the question of organizing colored LABOR. It is a well known fact that white labor among the skilled trades is strongly organized. But colored labor has been imposed upon by such organizations. They have even gone so far as to absolutely bar the Negro from membership. With no protection to themselves along labor lines the colored people have been grossly imposed upon. Not only have they been unable to protect themselves against unjust discrimination and wage reductions, but they have also been forced to constantly protect themselves from the onslaught of white organizations of labor. So bad has this situation been that many of our leading educators have been forced to denounce labor organizations as ruinous to our people. Their intentions were of the very best, and so far as they went were perfectly true. But there was one thing they did not think of, and that was a strong organization of COLORED LABOR. Such an organization has now been in the field for some time. About eight years ago it was born in Chicago. It has now been with us long enough to show that it can weather the gale and successfully cope with all of the many problems which such an association must meet. Tht growth of this movement has THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. been rapid and sure. From a mere beginning it has increased until to-day it stands the peer of anything of its kind in this country. Much good has been accomplished. Wages of thousands of their members have been increased. In other cases the hours of labor have been reduced. Many gross abuses of colored labor have been corrected. We refer directly to the work of the International Liberty Union, with headquarters in Dayton, Ohio. We lack space to tell of all the good work accomplished by the Society. But as a Protective and Beneficial Order for colored labor it is certainly on the top round of the ladder. We believe it has a great future and would suggest that any reader of our who wishes full information should write to LIBERTY UNION, HOME OFFICE, 182 IL-U Buildin, Dayton, Ohio, and full and free particulars will be sent by return mail, including a book on "How to Gain Improved Conditions for Yourself." Persons sending in news will please bear in mind that names of people are hard to get correctly from hand writing.

Decorated by Liberian Government With Order of African Redemption. Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, United States minister to Liberia, is in America on a two months' furlough. This is the first vacation he has had since 1904. While here he will probably be called upon by the state department to discuss the report of the American commission which recently visited Liberia to make a study of conditions in that part of West Africa. In speaking of conditions in Liberia a few days ago Dr. Lyon said: "Liberia offers an excellent opportunity for the investment of American capital. The leading citizens of the republic believe that America can aid in its economic development. The trade now is controlled by the English and German peoples. "The visit of the three envoys from the United States was especially pleasing to the ruling classes there, and they think it indicates a new day for Liberia. The commission was received enthusiastically and given every opportunity for learning conditions at first hand. The official report of the special commission is awaited with profound interest by leading citizens of the republic, who are hopeful that many matters favorable to the material well being of Liberia may be presented. "The debt of Liberia is not very large, and conservative business men of that country believe that $3,000,000 will place the republic on its feet and make the way possible for an unparalleled commercial development. The national debt is about $1,250,000. The remainder of the $3,000,000 could be used in building railroads and other conveniences necessary to improve conditions. "Should railroads be built the cultivation of coffee, cocoa, ginger and other products would give a new industrial meaning to the inhabitants. Fruit can be grown on an extensive scale; also cane growing can be made profitable. "Liberians are making commendable progress along educational lines. The Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal and Baptist churches have established schools, which are rendering a praiseworthy service. "In a word, I believe Liberia offers opportunities for development far beyond the ideas of the average American." Dr. Lyon has been minister to Liberia since 1903. His services have been eminently satisfactory to the government he represents and that to which he has been sent, and he has been decorated by Liberia with the Order of African Redemption for his disinterested services for the uplift of Liberians. This decoration is the highest honor that the government awards and is given only to those who render great services for the good of Africa. Since his arrival in the United States Dr. Lyon has been besieged with invitations to speak at public functions. The citizens of Baltimore, his home THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD city, have already given a grand reception in his honor. SYMPTOMS OF CIVIC DISEASE Failure to Pay Poll Tax Robs White Men of Right to Vote. Jerome B. Wilmer of New Orleans thinks that a big price has been paid for the disfranchisement of the Negroes in the south. He bases it upon the fact that it makes political conditions entirely one sided, and he cites Alabama, where, he says, 100,000 white men are unable to vote because they do not pay the poll tax which is required and which is levied for the purpose of disfranchising the Negroes. "They ask themselves," said Mr. Wilmer, "What is the use?" when they know that the Democrats are going to win anyhow and their ballots are not needed. It certainly is a symptom of civic disease when 100,000 men of the Anglo-Saxon race deliberately rob themselves of the right of suffrage." Republican Injustice Damnable. The Maryland disfranchisement amendment is having a reactionary effect in the south, and its danger to American citizenship is being appreciated. The Republican party of the United States, so long blind to this damnable injustice, is at last beginning to realize that the disfranchisement of the colored voters of the south is a blow at Republican institutions and a menace to good government. Cambridge (Mass.) Advocate. FIELD DAYS FOR AFRICA. Diamond Jubilee Fund Will Be Ready by January, 1910. The African diamond jubilee campaign for $300,000 as a special gift for Africa for this year still moves forward successfully. So far $200,000 has been received in cash and pledges, and the outlook is that the whole amount will be in hand by January, 1910. Field days are being held in several cities. The first one for the fall was held in Boston in September. Other meetings for October were held at Albany and Troy, N. Y.; Cincinnati and Cleveland, O., Chicago and Kansas City, Mo. At the meetings to be held in New York, Dec. 12 and 13, President Taft will be the principal speaker on the latter date. The Afro-American voters of Greater New York are breaking away from the beaten paths of Republicanism, and the political pot is simmering and will soon be at boiling heat. Judge Gaynor is the Democratic nominee for mayor, and he looks good to Afro-Americans. The United Colored Democracy, under Edward E. Lee, is having nightly meetings all over Manhattan and the Bronx. The voters seem to have about decided that nothing is to be expected from the Republicans and that a change to the Democratic side, if it does not help them, cannot harm them. Young Afro-American Women of Note. The recent appointment of Miss Minnie A. Tunley as notary public at Muscogee, Okla., by Governor C. N. Haskell is another instance of the progress which young Afro-American women are making in the business world. The list of such brainy young women as Miss Tunley, Miss Bradford, Miss Effie Grant and Miss Edith B. White is growing rapidly, and we are glad to see it. Now for a long string of names of young men who are making real good use of their education. The Leader Cafe MRS. L. LACY AND MRS. S. E. JAMES, Proprietors D. W. LACY, Manager REGULAR NOON DINNER.

Music was the order of the evening after the spread. Before leaving, which came all too soon for the merry makers, the hosts were deluged with a shower of tinware of all descriptions. W. H.

William Bigbee of Honea Path, S. C., died at 2124 Arapahoe street Thursday morning of consumption. His remains are in charge of the Douglass Undertaking company awaiting arrangements for burial. EUREKA LITERARY. Tuesday night the eight numbers upon the program formed a very delightful evening of intellectual treat. The paper read by Mr. Theodore Von Dickershon was very timely and suggestive; the editorial in the "Bon Bon Buddy," edited by Mr. Wayman A. Ward on the "Y. M. C. A.," was good and dovetailed with the argument made later for the attendance to the Booker Washington lecture; the mandolin solo by Mr. Anderson was so well rendered that the audience demanded an encore, which he readily furnished; the piano solo by Mr. Robinson, a high school student, completely won a name as a fine pianist for the enterprising and ambitious young man and Miss Williams, daughter of Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of the Campbell A. M. E. church, made a deep impression upon the audience by her singing ability. Mr. Virgil Ward recited an original blood and thunder poem, full of tragedy, which threw the house into a fit of laughter. Hot waffles and maple syrup were served as refreshments afterwards. A good program is promised for Tuesday night. ALLIANCE WATER SUNDAY FREE KNOWLEDGE. The Hon. John R.

At Great Gathering In Tuxedo Hall. New York. Explorer Tells Admiring Throng That He Was Willing to Die If Necessary to Discredit Popular Theory. By N. B. DODSON. Afro-Americans of Greater New York have done themselves proud within the past few months bestowing honor and homage upon those members of the race who have won special distinction in their chosen fields. The first notable event among them was the great welcome ovation to the returning "Fighting Tenth" cavalry from the Philippine Islands. The second, which partook more of national loyalty than of race pride, was the part taken in the recent Hudson-Fulton celebration. Jack Johnson's victory over Stanley Ketchel came in for a goodly share of race hilarity. The last great event, the facts connected with which are of worldwide interest to all peoples—the complimentary dinner which was given in honor of Matthew Henson, the only Afro-American who has carried the stars and stripes to the top of the world—was in every way befitting for one who has achieved such a signal exploit in connection with the scientific discoveries of the world. The dinner was given in Tuxedo hall, New York, Oct. 19. There were over 200 persons present. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue, as toastmaster, presented Mr. Henson with a gold watch studded with diamonds, the gift of his admirers. "Whatever may be said in the controversy as to which white man discovered the pole," said Mr. Anderson in presenting the watch, "there is not a shadow of doubt as to which black man got there." In a brief speech accepting the watch Henson said that the colored man had tried for years to show the opposite race that he is a man of grit. "When I went to Greenland they said I never would come back," said Mr. Henson. "They told me I couldn't stand the cold—that no black man could. I said I was willing to die if necessary to show them. I survived all right, and here I am." This telegram, sent by Commander Peary from Eagle isle, Maine, was read: I congratulate you and your race upon Matthew Henson. He has driven home to the world your great adaptability and the fiber of which you are made. He has added to the moral stature of every intelligent man among you. His is the hard earned reward of tried loyalty, persistence and endurance. He should be an everlasting example to your young men that these qualities will win whatever object they are directed at. He deserves every attention you can show him. I regret that it is impossible for me to be present at your dinner. My compliments to your assembled guests. Booker T. Washington sent this telegram from Tusgegee, Ala.: Am sending you my subscription for the Henson dinner. Permit me to congratulate you and your coworkers upon the wisdom and generosity manifested in providing the dinner in honor of our distinguished and deserving fellow citizen, who has by his achievement lifted the race to a higher level. My congratulations to the guest of the evening and to those assembled. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The dinner began at 8 o'clock. Among the toastmasters were James A. Cobb, assistant district attorney at Washington; ex-Judge Hiflen W. Gibbs of Arkansas; James Curtis, lawyer; Gilchrist Stewart, who led the legal fight for the Negro soldiers in the Brownsville riot; Bishop Alexander Waters of the African Methodist Episcopal church, the Rev. Dr. W. H. Books of St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal church, Professor W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce university; the Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, Frederick B. Watkins and Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, president of the Colored National Medical association. At the conclusion of the dinner three rousing cheers were given for Henson as "the black man who had helped to discover the pole." Unwarranted Attack on Aged Man. Unwarranted Attack on Aged Man. Cosby Jones, the aged Afro-American who was struck and unmerciful blow over the head by Policeman Swords on Labor day in New York, filed suit against Swords in the superior court a few days ago for $2,000 damages. Mr. Jones had committed no offense. He was about to cross Whitehall street just as the Labor day parade was starting, when the policeman in question felled him to the street. At the hospital eight stitches were taken to close the wound. The police board investigated the matter but, as usual, because his victim was an Afro-American the policeman was exonerated. Mr. Jones is about eighty years of age Cassie E. Kerr to Study In Nova Scotia Sir William Gray Wilson, governor of the Bahama islands, who with Lady Wilson arrived in New York recently, brought with him Cassie E. Kerr, a blind Afro-American girl. She is so clever and so ambitious for an education that the governor has decided to send her to an institution for the blind in Nova Scotia. After Cassie completes her education at the Nova Scotia institution Governor Wilson intends to have her return to the Bahamas to become the head of a similar Institution there. She lost her sight from a premature blast of dynamite many years ago. Editor Knox Gets the Goods. Several Afro-American journals tried to outbid the Freeman for the services of Harry Bradford, the great eastern writer, but the Freeman Publishing company outbid them all and secured Bradford, who will be sent to England and the continent of Europe to secure interesting articles for the Indianapolis Freeman. This will be the first Afro-American journal in America to send a representative writer of our race to England to get news regarding the Afro-American artist in general abroad. Several interesting articles will appear in the Freeman exclusively from time to time regarding the Afro-American actors and actresses in European cities. The Thing to Do With Mischief Makers. There is always one mischief maker in a community who makes a specialty of stirring up strife. He divides churches, shatters lifelong friends, fosters political factionalism, breaks up harmony in lodges and is a nuisance on general principles. What ought to be done with this class of fellows? Give them plenty of rope and room, leave them alone, and they will soon break their own necks. Phone Main 6243 CURTIS M. HARRIS Funeral Director A. M. LAWHORN UNDERTAKER MRS. J. J.

Williams, Who Has Been on the Police Force of Philadelphia For Eighteen Years. Appointed Detective by Mayor Reyburn-Won Fame as Manager of Cuban Giants. By W. H. WRIGHT. There are 100 Afro-Americans on the police force of Philadelphia. The first of these was appointed in 1881 by a Democratic mayor, and now Philadelphia boasts of having an Afro-American detective. Recognizing the services of AfroAmerican policemen, George L. Williams has been made a detective. By his appointment on the detective bureau of Philadelphia he has the honor [Image of a man in a suit and hat, seated in a chair, with his hand resting on his knee.] of being the first man of our race to hold such a position. Mr. Williams has been on the police force for eighteen years and during that time has been connected with some of the most important arrests made in Philadelphia. He justly merits the position to which he has been recently appointed. He is a very modest man, unassuming in manners, and has gone about his work in a quiet way. There has been a contest for the past two years on the part of political factions as to his appointment. Each time he was offered for appointment he was turned down. Mayor Reyburn, who wants every man to have a "square deal" and is a man whom white and black alike admire and respect, after seeing that Mr. Williams had been repeatedly turned down, investigated the matter, found that he had proved himself fully qualified and in many cases had brought his man to justice when other policemen could not locate him. Finding that the sole objection to the appointment was due to color, Mayor Reyburn immediately demanded Mr. Williams' appointment. The appointee is widely and favorably known in many parts of the country as having been manager of the once famous Cuban Giants, considered one of the best ball teams in the United States. Mr. John Fray, familiarly known as "Pop" Fray, is the oldest retired Negro police officer in Philadelphia and, like Mr. Williams, is very popular among his friends. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Philadelphia Arro-Americans are much impressed with the promotion of Mr. Williams and feel that he merited the honor. German Girls Flirt With Black Prince. The German government has issued a warning to parents and teachers regarding German girls corresponding with Negroes in the German African colonies. In most cases the correspondence was begun by German girls for the novelty of it, their principal object being to get African curiosities and photographs and letters from a "black prince." The girls sent their photographs, so that in the houses of many Negroes in the colonies hang the pictures of young German women of good families. IDEALS FOUND IN HOMES. Empty Headed Swells No Criterion For Bulk of Young Afro-Americans. In the past few years many assertions have been made that the young Negro of today is not as ambitious and trustworthy as his forefathers. It is said that he is satisfied with little or no education, is prodigal to a much greater degree than his ancestors and has no aim in life but to dress well and spend money. All of this is true when applied to the "city dude," who is to be found in every race, but it is not true when applied to the general run of young Negroes. The empty headed "swells" of both races make themselves conspicuous by their loud shirts, razor edge trousers and gold headed canes and sometimes add a pair of unneeded glasses for good measure. But the young man of stability, who is trying to improve himself, is not seen so often on the streets. Those who seek him must go to his home and not to the nearest saloon or street corner. Large cities are a poor place in which to form one's judgment of the young Negro of today. The small towns and country districts hold the great majority of the most stable men of the race. But even in large cities we have thousands of good men who are seldom seen because they have no time to loaf on the corners. It is just as absurd to judge these men by the worthless and more conspicuous element as it would be to judge the white youth of the country by those of their race who are addicted to prodigal living.-Yonkers (N. Y.) Standard. INDUSTRIAL TRAINING Noted Educator's Claims Challenged Case of High Salaried Chef Cited. Case of High Salaried Chef Cited. Dr. Thomas H. Riley in speaking of the great work which Dr. Washington is doing for the race along industrial lines said recently: "I do not criticise Dr. Washington as an industrial teacher, as I believe him to be one of the best we have, but when he claims that the industrial school and college are prime factors, redeeming features, along with the unit voting in solving the Negro problem, such claim I challenge. It was a chef of high repute and salary who was dismissed for his deception in seeking to pass a rabbit pie for a chicken pie. Rabbit pie was simply good for what it was. Industrial schools are good for what they are worth, but not as prime race problem solvents. Let them take their place down the line." THE NEEDMORE CLUB CALEB ALLEN, Prop. & Mgr.

Perry is too good a man to be misled by reactionary influences touching the press association. He will after studying out the situation come to regard the Louisville convention as merely the nucleus of what can be made a powerful agency of light and leading for the Negro press if supported by the right men and women. The Louisville effort was merely a start, not a finality. If experienced and capable journalists like Mr. Perry will lend the association the strength of their arms instead of standing aloof in the corner of the unsupathetic critic and prophet of despair the organization can accomplish many of the objects for which its promoters are striving. Past failures must not be accepted as a criterion of the future.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. HOLD YOUR CERTIFICATE. Voters In Jefferson County, Ky., Warned Against Democratic Machine.

BOLDEN CAFE One of the Neatest Cafes in Town Regular Dinner Service Short Orders 1008 Nineteenh Street DENVER ITEMS KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. W. M. Guest has returned to his The Knights Templar of the city organized into Hiram Commandery No. 20, gave one of the biggest entertainments ever given here Tuesday night at East Turner hall. There assembled a gathering of their friends and well-wishers such as must have gladdened their hearts. First of all there was a program rendered which was replete with musical excellence, consisting of vocal and instrumental music. There followed a drill by the Knights. This Commandery is a young one and this was its first public appearance. The drilling was under command of I. G. Gilmore. The ```markdown ``` evolutions were many and the Knights showed much progress in military training. Later there was dancing and a big supper. One of the features of the evening was a surprise to the Knights themselves. Mrs. Hill, wife of Eminent Commander Basil Hill, had a flashlight picture taken of the whole Commandery grouped. With the time for training that older commanderles known to fame for their excellence in tactics, have had, Hiram Commandery will make its mark. There was a precision about the drillers that makes certain their perfection when they are schooled in a few details. It is not amiss at this time to say a word of this organization. It is the successor of the old commandery, having been organized by I. G. Gilmore in the last year under a charter from Illinois. It soon gathered the flower of the Masons, of which it is a higher branch. This is its first public appearance and it has justified the hopes which were entertained for it.
