FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society ARIZONA INCIDENT ONLY ONE OF MANY CONFISCATORY ACTS TWENTY-FIRST YEAR ARIZONA ONLY CON In your issue of November 20th you advert editorially to a new species of race prejudice which has cropped out in Arizona, and you seem to think that the condition complained of can be remedied by the interference of the president. But the president will not "act" in this particular case for obvious reasons which shall presently appear. The Negroes of the United States are still laboring under the delusion that they are really citizens of this country, and in support of their claim to citizenship point to the fact (?) that they are property owners and taxpayers. The red Indians were at one time the largest land owners on this continent. Some of their lands they gave freely to the white men, and as soon as they over-populated this they took the rest, leaving the confiding Indian nothing. The Indian has so far been the first victim of over-population and Anglo-Saxon greed. The Negro is about to become the second. The Indian would have been preserved had he submitted. He resisted, and his glory, like Ichobad's, has departed. The Negro citizen (?) can acquire no hereditary rights in this country. The problem of hereditary rights was the cause of the enslavement of his race. The whites needed strong labor. But the estate of the country they meant to keep entailed to whites. Neither Negroes nor Indians could be employed as free men without their ever increasing descendants acquiring the precious hereditary rights. Foreseeing that from natural increase of population, white, blacks and Indians in the course of a generation should multiply in such numbers as to become competitors for estate in, and business in the country, a provision was made that neither Indians nor Negroes should ever be such competitors with whites for possessions. This provision was slavery—a condition in which the man neither has nor can have anything whatever. The Indian was offered either slavery, exile, or extinction. He chose extinction. A freeman he could not be without his descendants competing with whites. The Civil War was not fought to free the Negro, but to prevent the splitting of the confederation into two perpetual hostile countries which would be an everlasting menace and expense to each other. The failure of the confederacy was the greatest misfortune that ever befell the Negroes, but they are far from yet seeing it. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1909 Had the South won it would have been both at the domestic mercy of the Negroes and unable to keep them enslaved, and politically dependent upon them for strength. The emancipation was affected by Lincoln surreptitiously as a war measure. After emancipation, the peace and security of the country against domestic disruption made necessary an enfranchisement of the Negroes, against the natural feelings of most of those who voted for it. This status of the Negroes was imposed upon the white people of the South against their dissent. In denial of the right of the nation to give their country to strangers the Southern whites since they have adopted a number of domestic policies, the common object of which is to hold off the Negroes in the character of a stranger without rights sojourning in the land. This is the crux of the Arizona case which you cite editorially. Mr. Taft has been sojourning among these people of the South and they have made it plain to him that the Negro is persona non grata to them as citizens and officeholders. He has respected their protest and appointed no Negroes to office in the South, and will appoint none. The Freemasonry of race prejudice is extending North, East and West, and before a great many years will have passed by Negroes will have become just as unfashionable in the sections above Mason and Dixon's line as those below it. The combined enemies of the Negro in all sections of the country if they are so minded could influence the enactment of legislation in their state legislatures to confiscate every foot of land which Negroes believe they hold clear title to, and they would have no remedy legally, however much they might have morally. The white man regards the problem of race more seriously than does the average Negro. There is a school of Negroes whose spokesmen are loudly prating about the merging of the destiny of the white man and the black man, and who religiously believe this is possible. There is another school which believes that the merging of the races politically and socially, industrially and commercially, is simply out of the question. The friendliest white man who declares his faith in the Negro as a man and wishes to see him treated fairly and justly, does not in his heart believe that the merging of the races along the lines indicated would be good for either race. The white man, ignorant or white man, and belief traditions of his race, or that his is a dominant its business is to dom it exists in large numb is true in India, in Afri Indies, in Europe and States.

Club of La Junta at an elaborate luncheon at her home in Swink, Colo. The ladies departed expressing a desire to return again soon. The ladies of the N. U. G. Club met at the residence of Mrs. J. W. Marshal Thursday, Dec. 1, 1909. An interesting programme was rendered. A paper on the life of James Russell Lowell was read by Mrs. J. W. Marshall and discussed by Mrs. Winchester Watson Lenox. A solo was rendered by Mrs. Harry Badgett, after which a two-course lunch was served. FIVE CENTS A COPY The club adjourned to meet with Mrs. McKenney on Dec. 9. Mesdames Satt and Kelly, of Pueblo, were the guests of Rev. and Mrs. Watson Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They seem to be overwhelming with the holy spirit and preached two able sermons while in our little city. Mr. Harry Wilson is able to be out again after a short illness. Mrs. Zack Badgett, after a severe attack of rheumatism, is able to be up again. Misses Ida Davis and Hazel Winslow, of Rocky Ford, were guests of Miss Vetnar Jones Thanksgiving Day. Mr. Martin, of Colorado Springs, was the guest of Miss Daisy Berry. Mr. John Marshal has returned after a two-weeks' visit in Galton, Mo., his old home. He reports it very rainy there.

Mr. Zack Badgett, of Pueblo, was the guest of his family Sunday. Madam Green made a flying trip to Pueblo Saturday. Miss Tillie Western will entertain the Sewing Circle Friday from 2 until 5 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon entertained at an elaborate dinner Sunday at their home on South Second street. Covers were laid for Mesdames Badgett, Watson and Jones. Master William Berry entertained a number of his young friends Monday evening in honor of his 15th birthday. The house was prettily decorated with pink and blue. Those present were Emma Green, Craig Henderson, Laura Gulaford, Charlie Green, Howard Berry Alta Moore, Victor Tylor, Elsie Euper, Bessie Vernon, Arthur Vernon and Bessie. After a generous lunch was passed the little ones departed, wishing Master William many happy returns. Thanksgiving Week at Zion Church. The Jackson Memorial Zion church at Hempstead, N. Y., held special religious and literary exercises during Thanksgiving week, which attracted large crowds nightly. The Rev. R. H. Otterly, pastor of the church, is one of the most energetic ministers of his denomination in Greater New York and is doing a splendid work among our people in Hempstead. He is also interested in other lines of work for the benefit of the race and has a large circle of friends, from which he receives much encouragement --- WORKER IN MANY FIELDS. Mrs. Treadwell Well Informed on the Achievements of the Race. One of the most active workers for the distribution and sale of books and other literature published by Afro-Americans is Mrs. E. Celestia Treadwell of New York. She is a native of Virginia and came to New York several years ago. Unlike many of our young folks who come north, Mrs. Treadwell immediately allied herself with the church, secret and benevolent societies and literary organizations, in many of which as a member she has rendered yeoman services. In order to keep abreast of the times and to know of the men and women of the race who have been successful in literature as well as in religion and business Mrs. Treadwell became agent for several publishing and mercantile concerns. For a number of years she made a study of the books, magazines and papers written and published by Afro-Americans and built up a large patronage. In church and secret society circles she is well known as an ardent worker. She is also known as an amateur dramatist and has sung in one of the leading church choirs. It A MRS. E. CELESTIA TREADWELL. was her good fortune last July to go abroad for three months. She visited Liverpool, London, Clapton, Oxford, Brussels, Antwerp and many other leading cities of the continent. Mrs. Treadwell is a prominent member of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers and was one of the pioneer workers for the establishment of the Young Women's Christian association on West Fifty-third street, New York, a few years ago. Colonel J. Howard Cook, who has for the past five years officiated as assistant inspector general of the uniformed rank Knights of Pythias in Pennsylvania, has been appointed colonel and aid-de-camp of Major General Robert Jackson, commander of the uniformed rank K. of P. in the United States, and as such will act as the general's personal representative in Pennsylvania. General Frank Sutton was recommissioned brigadier general. Veteran Church Worker Remembered. The Rev. P. E. Mills, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, Pittsburg, recently presented Mrs. Hawkins, a veteran church worker, with a handsome gold medal, the gift of the officers of the church, as a token of their esteem and appreciation for fifty years of faithful service as a member. Mrs. Hawkins rendered great assistance to the church in its efforts to raise sufficient funds to complete the new auditorium. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Superficial Aspect of Race Hatred. The quirks and turns of racial and religious prejudice are odd and some- what incomprehensible. It is but a mapifestation of the antipathy of the governing toward the governed and also the ill governed. The hatred of one race for the other is to a yery large extent the hatred of the oppressor for the oppressed. It ir not actually racial, though this {s the superficial aspect. It is a manifesta- tion of a common human phenomenon, the intense dislike of a man toward a person whom he has wronged.—Cam- bridge (Mass.) Advocate, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. SEEKING SECOND EMPIRE. _ Save 200 5 CALUMET CLUB peaition In Atrica. According to Leslie’s Weekly, Theo- dore Roosevelt, while apparently in Africa on a hunting expedition, killing tigers and fleas, is in reality carefully investigating conditions to ascertain if it be not possible and practicable to establish in the Sudan country a sec- ond empire of Liberia and so solve forever the Negro question of Amer- ica. This is the disclosure made by a United States federal attorney in charge of a southern district, who re- lates the supposed seéret plans of Roosevelt in all their details. The plan as revealed by the former president's confidant is to stake out a good section of the country in the Sudan north of the Kongo Free State and west of Ger- man and British East Africa, hoist the stars and stripes at the four cor- ners, have Uncle Sam declare a pro- tectorate, organize the native tribes into a suzerainty of the United States of America, and then will come the ex- patriation of the Negroes from this country to the new empire iy the heart of Africa. In the rounding out of the plan a wedge will be formed by a na- tion under the control of the United States that will prevent the expansion territorially or commercially of Ger- many and will make the United States a factor in the balance of power among the nations of Europe now struggling to retain and enlarge their footholds in Africa.

O listen to me, ye sportsmen, a story I'm going to tell, Of a great big man, a fighter, whose name you know quite well; He's not a very bad man, though many he's knocked out— He's "Champion of the World," and will win in his coming bout. He's the very best man in the heavyweight class, Strong as a giant, and very, very fast; Fighting to him is an easy task, Better bet on him or you'll lose your cash. Cool, game and scientific, don't think he can be beat, To see him fight to defend his title would certainly be a treat; And if he is victorious in the coming championship bout, There'll be worse tied up traffic than before in the South. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. Mr. Fred Brown joined the church last Sunday night on probation. Mrs. Celia Baranco arrived this week from Canon City. She will remain in the city until the holidays are over.

The attendance this year is far in advance of any year in the history of the work. Nine states are represented in attendance in our student body, applications are continually coming in and we expect more students after the holidays. Thanksgiving day was indeed a day of pleasure.

Stewart, the fearless editor of the Indianapolis (Ind.) Recorder, says: "As long as a colored boxer is the champion of the world there can be nothing but ridicule for the fear which hides behind efforts to dodge combats with men of the African race. To that extent the conditions now existing in the world of pugilism are adverse to sham and humbug in sports. They put all men on their own footing, to stand or fall as they may. "Any white man who makes a living by fighting would be perfectly willing to take the winner's part of a good sized purse for whipping a colored boxer—if he knew he could do it. The rub comes in the fear that the result may be just opposite to his hopes and fatal to his prestige and ambitions. The manly art is dragged down to the level of an outlawed sport by ring fights, but it ought at least to show enough manhood to give all nationalities and races a fair chance for its prizes, such as they are." RELIGIOUS AWAKENING. No Denominational Lines In Campaign Planned For Civic Righteousness. A great campaign is to be inaugurated by the combined Protestant churches in the United States, beginning next January, which will have for its object the various problems confronting the American people, both white and black. Questions of religion, labor, immigration, Negro and the conditions of life in the cities, towns and country will be the subjects discussed. We hope that great good will come out of the project, and perhaps some new light may be thrown upon the problems which have heretofore hindered the Negro progress in different sections of our country. It would be well for our white brethren to ask for at least one delegate from each denomination of color in the United States. We hope that much will be accomplished to the glory of God and the American people. We shall watch the movement with interest.—Mobile (Ala.) Press. Cairo (Ill.) In Need of Missionaries. J. H. Murphy, the venerable editor of the Afro-American Ledger at Baltimore, expresses the hope that the "worldwide movement" for the evangelization of the heathen, which is to begin active work in January, 1910, will not forget to send several missionaries to Cairo, Ill. He says editorially: "If there is any place in the world where they are needed it is in Cairo. Do not by any means forget this important center." Young Orchestra Appreciated. The fourth annual entertainment and dance of the Charles Hudson orchestra, which was recently held at Sumner hall, Brooklyn, was a most enjoyable affair. The orchestra was greatly strengthened in volume and vocal harmony by the "Sonnie" Somers Comedy company.

Brown, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, were present. Both of these gentlemen surely did good work on that turkey. Rev. W. H. Prince came near losing the train to Tucson on account of that turkey. The quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. Church was, indeed, a record-breaker. Rev. J. H. Brown has at once endeared himself to all the people of every church. He is very sociable and pleasant to meet. He has his members and friends organized into all the various departments of his church. They are planning to raise $500 on February 22, 1910. Rev. Wm. Seldon, pastor of one of the C. M. E. in the territory, is one of the largest property owners among the negroes there. He owns 160 acres of land four miles from town and good city property also. The majority of the negroes here own fine modern homes. Miss Ethel Haley, daughter of Rev. J. D. Haley, is attending High School in the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Rev. J. N. Tolbert, P. E. of C. M. E. Church, went to Phoenix, Ariz., this week. Rev. J. D. Haley, pastor of Second Baptist Church, returned from Bisbee this week, where he went to look after the interest of the Baptist Church. Mr. Ellis Green and Miss Kattie Allen were quietly married Thursday night, Rev. J. D. Haley officiating. Mrs. J. S. Burks and Mrs. Rev. Bell have been on the sick list, but they are much improved. Mrs. J. A. Johnson is on the sick list. Rev. J. H. Brown has won quite a trophy by a speech he made before the white school board of this city in contending for the justice and rights of our children. He was promised the accommodation on conditions. We believe it will come. Rev. J. D. Haley subscribed for the Statesman. The All-Star Minstrel and Dance is going to be one of the biggest events of the season. The company of entertainers are all being well rehearsed, and there is no doubt but what everything will be a great success. We advise everybody to come early and each person is wise if he or she would bring two pairs of hands, for George Elkins will make you clap your hands off. Earl Jones, Lee Wilson and Pryor the Great will all make you laugh yourself to death with their comic jokes, gags and songs. Mr. John Carrie, Wm. Burns, Tom Berry, B. Thomas, Julius Ragesville, George Anderson are going to give you just what you all want and that will be your money's worth. Come early and get your seats, as there will be one of the largest crowds ever in East Turner hall. The show will start promptly at 8:45 p. m. Thursday evening, December 16, 1909. The dancing will start at 10 p. m. Prizes will be given, apples, etc., at the fair of the Ladies of the Church of the Redeemer, to be held at Shorter Church December 14 and 15. PROF.

Bennett's Promotion to the Archdeaconry of the Diocese of Florida. The most notable event in Afro-American church circles at Jacksonville, Fla., was the reception recently given in honor of Archdeacon Edmund Robert Bennett, who has the unique distinction of being the first Afro-American archdeacon of the diocese of Florida. As rector of St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church at Jacksonville he has done a work of both spiritual and material uplift among our people. Rector Bennett is the only man of our race who has thus far graduated from the famous Nashota seminary. He was ordained at Milwaukee, Wis., and afterward established the Afro-American mission at St. Paul, Minn., which under his leadership grew rapidly. Rector Bennett on leaving the mission at St. Paul was called to Wilmington N. C., to take charge of St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal church there, which had run down in attendance and had little or no means with which to pay current expenses. Having had considerable experience as an organizer and religious worker, he soon revived the interest of the members of the church and perfected plans for building up the membership and securing means for the maintenance of the church work. Rev. Bennett's next objective point was the hundreds of persons in the community who were not at all interested in church work or in the moral uplift of themselves. He went into the thickly settled sections among the poor and neglected of our people, and by his consistent Christian life and teaching he impressed upon the people the necessity of leading better lives and how they would be benefited by connecting themselves with the church. The result was that within a short time hundreds united with the church, which soon became the strongest and most influential parish of Afro-American Episcopalians in Wilmington. He organized and was the first president of the local Negro Business league of Wilmington, president of the United Charities association, chairman of the board of directors of the Men's forum and was the worshipful master of Hanover lodge, F. and A. M. He is for any movement that will give Afro-Americans opportunities for self help and greater usefulness. His eloquent and convincing speeches before various bodies of his church and especially at the general convention before the committee on missions and bishops made him a popular favorite with his associates. Rector Bennett's influence has been felt for good among the members of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, and Knights of Pythias very effectively. His work in Jacksonville is in keeping with the enviable and praiseworthy record which has characterized him in every place in which he has labored. Jack Johnson an Honor to His Race. Ever since Jack Johnson cornered Burns in Australia and "knocked him out" American newspapers. sporting THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD writers and the general public have been declaring that the Negro champion heavyweight had a "streak of yellow" and that Tommy Burns was a four flusher. Of course there have been some exceptions. Some sporting writers have been eminently fair, and no doubt Jack Johnson, along with the entire Negro race, appreciates their manliness. Prizefighting is not necessarily a profession to rave over, but it's here, and white men indulge in it. Why not the black? Johnson as heavyweight champion of the world is a credit to the race, and every Negro should be proud of his achievements. He has "made good" in his chosen vocation.—Denver Statesman. Negro Soldiers Loyal to the Flag. The Boston Transcript says that colored troops serve nobly. Desertions from colored regiments do not average one-tenth of those from white regiments. This fidelity to the colors may be partly due to the truth of an old army saying that the service offers to the white man a refuge and to the colored man a career. Men pass lifetimes in the colored regiments, contented in the assurance of the retired pay that awaits long service and good records. Between officers and men grow up long trust and confidence that even Brownsville has been powerless to shake. Miss Coleman Gets New Position. Miss Georgia A. Coleman, whose helpful labors in behalf of many benevolent and philanthropic movements entitle her to high praise, passed a splendid examination recently in domestic science and has been appointed to a position as teacher of cooking in the public schools at Washington. Miss Coleman is earnest, painstaking and capable and will prove to be a valuable addition to the Disciple's teaching corps. Women's Clubs Doing Good Work. The Frances E. W. Harper league celebrated its fifteenth anniversary, Tuesday evening, Nov. 16, in the John Wesley Zion church, Pittsburg. A well arranged program was carried out no charges for admission. Friends wishing to assist the Home For Destitute Colored Children at Eastbrook, Pa., were given an opportunity to do so. Clubs were invited to attend in a body, wearing their club badges to distinguish them. WE ARE LOYAL CITIZENS. Richmond Mecca of Negro Thrift and Industry, Says Davis. D. Webster Davis in responding to President Taft's address to Afro-Americans at Richmond, Va., recently said: "We are loyal citizens of our commonwealth. We love every rock and rill of our dear old state. Our white citizens after the war came home broken in health and fortune, but along with the education of their children, poor as they were, they willingly gave of their means to aid the black children just out of slavery and have continued to do so since. It is strange indeed that this capital of the Confederacy has become the Mecca of the Negro race, and we are actually accomplishing more here than in any city in the south. We represent $3,000,000 in tax money, four banks and many business enterprises. We have done this because of the kindness and help of our white citizens and because we have faith in them, faith in ourselves, faith in God and faith in our president." The Leader Cafe MRS. L.

Unexpected to all on account of the very cold weather, the Azalia Hackley Choral club had more members and invited guests who will assist on December 16 at Trinity than for months past. The club was very reluctant about leaving, even after practicing for two solid hours. Every member is greatly interested about the success of this particular entertainment as our success will depend upon our securing Trinity M. E. church when our noted stars come whom we want the public to see and hear. Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. sharp at 2604 Gilpin street the club will have another practice, at which all those invited to participate are asked to be present for one hour's practice. The seats can be had at the Colored Loan and Realty Co., where a diagram of the church can be seen. That event will be the society night for our people and in order to complete the social affair get good seats at Waller's. Mr. Ross has turned all his seats over to them for sale. SPUMKINS AT EUREKA LITERARY. When one takes into consideration that this was the first time for this club to attempt to give a literary society a program, too much praise and encouragement can not be given the boys. They made some mistakes, but the writer sees their efforts and good intentions to serve and can see how by a little more coacning these Spumpkins boys will be able to put the Y. M. C. A. boys in the darkest shade. They need a variety in their literary productions. The program was rendered by the following persons: Mr. Fred Clark, who played an artistic and original piano selection, and a paper by Mr. Fred Anderson, which was very good for his first effort, as a wonderful future can be seen in Mr. Anderson's intellectual capacity. This was followed by closing piano selection by Miss Rhode Anderson, who always pleases, and whom the audience compelled to play an encore. The quartet failed to appear in full. These boys need to be congratulated on their organization and their willingness to assist in literary matters. Come again, boys, you did fine. Don't forget the All-Star Minstrels, Dec. 16. Next week at the Eureka Literary, the young men of the "All Star Concert Company" will furnish a delightful program and an effort will be made to discount the "Spumpkins Boys." The literary is now the rendezvous for all the young people, and more appear upon the program than heretofore. This will be the last meeting before the election of officers. Mr. Porter will have the program read Sunday at the churches of the city. Mr. S. A. Bondurant is now stopping at 1919 Clarkson street. There will be an argument on a motion in the Auditorium case between W. B. Townsend, attorney for plaintiff, and Geo. Allen Smith, who represents defendants, Saturday, in the county court. There will be a marriage soon of two prominent people of a prominent church to happen within the next ten days. Don't forget the All-Star Minstrels, Dec. 16. PROGRAMME OF THE PEOPLE'S SUNDAY ALLIANCE FOR DEC., 1909. The Board of Directors of the Alliance feels that in keeping with the spirit of progress and advancement that the negro should be as intelligent on all questions as any other American citizen. There is no question demanding our attention that is more vital than the present ravages of consumption. And we, as the greatest sufferers, should be acquainted with the conditions and seek to eradicate the disease that is decimating our ranks. Consequently the board has arranged with our local colored physicians to read a series of papers on this subject endeavoring to acquaint the people with the dangers and warn them to flee from the consequences of ignorance. The papers will be the same as those read before the Colorado State Association for the Prevention and Cure of Tuberculosis. December 12. Recitation. Miss Elsie VonDickersohn Current literature.

The funeral of Mrs. L. A. Peach, who died Sunday afternoon from pneumonia, was held from Shorter Church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Williams being the preacher on the occasion. The services were attended by many, for she was a member of that church, and, besides, was well THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. known for her public activity in musical circles. The remains were buried in Riverside cemetery under charge of the Douglas Undertaking Company. Besides her husband, the deceased left three brothers, who were persent at the services, Wm. and Luther Walton of this city and James Walton of Trinidad. Death came to her as the result of illness contracted while out of the city on a tour singing. She was brought home and after remaining at her home on Glenarm Place a few days was taken to the hospital, where she died. The disease made rapid inroads on her strength and when it later became complicated she feel asleep forever. So passed away a woman who was energetic and who was beginning to make her energy felt outside of her own home. The floral offerings were beautiful.

PROVISIONS PAGE. & Steady Advance Of Cadiz College Normal and Theological School Established For the Education of Afro-American Youth Has Made Noteworthy Progress Without Endowment—Dr. and Mrs. W. H. McRidley's Generous Gift. By N. B. DODSON. Among the many schools for the industrial and higher education of Afro-Americans in Kentucky the Cadiz Normal and Theological college at Cadiz is worthy of honorable mention. It was established in 1884 by the Rev. Dr. W. H. McRidley, assisted by a board of directors which consisted of Messrs. J. E. Dickerson, Isaac McReynolds, Monroe Miller, P. White, J. W. Rush and a Mr. Cunningham. The institution was started in an old frame building 26 by 30 feet. At that time there were no visible means at hand with which to run the school, but Dr. McRidley and his co-workers by vigorous canvasses and appeals to the people for funds soon secured enough money to run the school the first year. When the people saw that the institution was an assured reality funds were more easily secured and the work which was so much needed for the moral and intellectual uplift among our people was given new impetus. The ground upon which the new building stands was donated by Dr. and Mrs. McRidley. The faculty is composed of graduates from well known colleges who have had years of experience as teachers. They are devoted to the work and take great interest in the entire student body. Dr. McRidley has been president of the college from its inception and enjoys the good will and esteem of faculty and students and the general public. There were 220 students in attendance in 1908, and a much larger number is expected for the 1909-10 term. In order to meet the demands for an educated ministry and competent teachers a teachers' training school is carried on in connection with the regular school work. From this department have gone 176 teachers and 40 ministers who are successfully pastoring churches in the different states. The course of study in the theological department leads to the bachelor's degree and is equal to that of any college of similar grade. The faculty, however, in no case confers degrees of any kind except for worth and merit in scholarship. The faculty and board of directors feel that other theological schools will be doing the cause of education a good turn by refusing to confer degrees upon persons for other reasons than scholarship, coupled with meritorious work, where a student leaves school before finishing the prescribed course of study. A college chapel is now in course of completion. Funds are needed for this special purpose. As the school has no endowment voluntary contributions are asked of any and all persons who are interested in the cause of education among Afro-Americans. The work justly merits the support of the public by virtue of the splendid work it is doing to give to the race and to the world trained men and women to teach and lead the way for intelligent citizenship.

Miss Delaney Lectures For Y. W. C. A. The lecture recently given by Miss E. D. Delaney at the Young Women's Christian association in West Fifty-third street, New York, was one of the most helpful of the fall season. Miss Delaney has spent several years as a missionary in British Central Africa among the natives; therefore her lecture on "Women and Their Customs In the Heart of Africa" was very timely. A large audience was present and manifested keen interest in the speaker's story. Miss Cora B. Jackson as secretary of the association is conducting the work in a very satisfactory manner, and as such she has the assistance of the officers, heads of committees and members. Young Brooklyn Pastor Encouraged. The reception and grand financial rally which was recently given by the pastor and members of the St. John's A. M. E. Zion mission in Brooklyn was a splendid success, socially as well as financially. Services were held on three successive nights and were largely attended. Visiting clergymen from in and out of town took an active part in making the rally a success. It is the aim of the members to raise $1,000 as soon as possible for the benefit of the mission. Rev. R. C. C. Jones as pastor is a faithful, energetic worker and has received much encouragement from the Right Rev. J. W. Hood, presiding bishop. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. SAN FRANCISCO Dr. Powell Praises Work of Tents. Members of the Order of Tents were out in large numbers Sunday evening, Nov. 28, at Bethany Baptist church, Brooklyn, where the annual cermen was preached to them by the Rev. Dr. Holland Powell, pastor of the church. The order is in a prosperous condition and has made large additions to its membership during the year. Rev. Powell's discourse abounded in citations of the good deeds of women of the Bible and commended the members for loyally following the example of those characters which in the past were potent factors in moral and civic righteousness. 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. FISK QUARTET IN NEW YORK. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE. Noted Vocalists Sing First at Home of Mrs. Clinton B. Fisk. For the first time since the days of the Original Fisk Jubilee singers a quartet from Fisk university is in New York for an extended series of concerts. The opening one was given at the home of Mrs. Clinton B. Fisk, whose husband founded the school while in command of the Federal forces in Nashville, Tenn., in 1866. Since the success of the first jubilee singers music, and especially Negro folk music, has recived special emphasis at Fisk, and the results are seen in the work of the present quartet. The members are all soloists of ability, and they sing with remarkable finish and technique. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS Call, or Address Mail to MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO 2223 Market St. St. Louis, Mo.

Majola Agbebi as Organizer of Christian Endeavor Societies. A number of Christian Endeavor so- cities in western Africa owe their ori- gin to a society formed in Lagos in May, 1897. The evangelistic spirit has been characteristic of the moveinent there. The parent society has had a woman's circle that has been the means of bringing to Christ more than 200 persons. A missionary circle has also done excellent service in spvead. ing the gospel through the region. At New Calabar, in southern Nigeria, the members do Christian work among canfilbal tribes and at™ the markets, one person alone having been the means of bringing a whole town to Christ. At Old Calabar also there ts an energetic band of workers. At one point in central Nigeria an Endeavorer gathered about 300 of his people and taught them to read. A chief became an active member and won other chiefs to Christ. The organizer of the pioneer society fo Lagos was Rey. Majola Agbebi.

The very important questions to first arise are: Shall we buy that plant for $14,400,000 or shall we give them a 20-year franchise, or shall we do neither and build one of of our own? I am in favor of the last question—building one of our own and neither buying nor giving them a franchise worth millions of dollars. The first question to con- sider is to whom does the water of this state belong. It is clearly de- cided by the constitubionsgestatgtes and decisions of this state that the water belongs to the people, So all any individual or set of individuals can do at the most is to acquire a right to CARRY the water in tneir ditches, pipes and connections, etc. The next step is what rights have the Denver Union Water company ac- quired so as to make it absolutely necessary for us to buy them or as an alternative give them a franchise. The stipulations entered into by the city and county of Denver and the Denver Union Water company did not make it obligatory upon the city to either buy or give them a franchise, so the city can do either one. There has been enough data produced in the daily papers which shows eminently that a plant like as the Denver Union Water company’s plant is only worth about $9,000,000 or $10,000,000 at the righest price as estimated by the labor body, the Ministerial AIK- ance and other civic organizations. Then to give $14,400,000 for a plant only worth $9,000,000 or $10,000,000 would be sheer nonsense from a busi. ness standpoint. This question should be only dealt with from a business [setudpotnts Or to give a franchise which makes a citizen in Denver use and pay an exorbitant price for the water furnished by the company and which franchise is wortn many mil lions to the present owners and thei children or assigns, is very unfair tc the taxpayers who have that burder to stand. Remember that you pay the water company your rent, not for the water, but for the furnishing tc you the water through their pipes and connections. Then why bin¢ yourself and your children for 2 years to a contract for the service and rates and accommodations af forded by the present company. Anc again how much is the water com pany to pay the city for this valuable privilege are we to give them thi Yes! ‘Tis Truel!! It's Honest All Through!!! Our $25 Suit CLEMENTS “ee TAILOR EN R. B.
