For once the editor of this paper is not ashamed of the music of the slaves, for it was the sweet strains of their afflicted souls that hurried on the war and gave them liberty. The trouble with the Negro race is that it is constantly trying to get away from itself, or in other words, ashamed of its people. God intends to make slavery the greatest blessing in due time that ever crowned a race of people. Could we change our hair and color, making the latter white as snow and the former straight and golden, so help us God we would not do it! To be a manly man under our color and kinky hair and enrich our soul by singing the sweet soul songs of our slave mothers and fathers is our highest ambition.

The Fisk Jubilee Singers made Gladstone weep and praise, and once when Fred Douglass was in Paris a reception was given him, and behind closed doors they had a Negro girl who was attending a school of musical culture, and when Mr. Douglass was at the highest pitch of jollity forth came the sweet melody of "Steal Away to Jesus," and all was silent. Finally Douglass said, "No one can sing that way but my people." The folding doors opened wide, and there stood a Negro girl with arms outstretched wide. Douglass advanced without an introduction, embraced her and wept with joy, and the young Negro who is ashamed of the music of his slave ancestors is a fop and a menace to the race.—Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W. Va. Knights of Pythias Helping the Race. C. H. Highland's Busy Life. As an organization working for the best interest of the race in Mississippi the grand lodge. Knights of Pythias, is doing yeoman service. The grand lodge is represented in Vicksburg by C. H. Highland, grand keeper of records and seals. Like the Odd Fellows and Masons and their officials, the Knights are forging ahead in numbers and finance. Mr. Highland is therefore kept very busy with the affairs of the grand lodge at Vicksburg. There can be no discounting the real good these organizations are doing for our people in the south. In increasing the fraternal spirit among their members and in relieving distress among them they play a big part, but yet the more important fact is to be considered that they do give employment to hundreds of young men and women in the conduct of their affairs and put into the Negro banks and in circulation among the people money that without them would go into the coffers of the other people. Into Mr. Highland's office the semiannual dues for the grand lodge come all the emergency funds and the former tax for the Pythian temple, making a total aggregate of more than $10,000 annually. Besides this work, he is the secretary-treasurer for another order and is a successful and extensive planter, having a large farm at Fitler, Miss. Mr. Highland, too, has a record in the order of which he may be proud. He entered politics in 1890 and was the successful assessor of Isaquena county for two terms. He was an alternate to the Republican national convention that nominated Harrison for the second term and is a respected member of the grand lodges of the Masons and Odd Fellows in the state. He represented the supreme lodge in Indianapolis, Ind., and is now district manager of the Mississippi Industrial Insurance society. THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

This being the first time I have had the opportunity to inform the publie of the good work of Sister Smith, | will no say any more at this time. J.C, CLARK 321 BE. Rio Grande S. Colorado Springs, Colo. COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. Mrs, J. F, Curtis, an old pioneer ot Colorado Springs, died Tuesday even- ing, March Ist, by a paralytic stroke. The death of Mrs. Curtis was indeed a shock to the family and friends, as her death was very sudden, taking sick Saturday evening. The commun- ity at large are greatly bereaved be- cause Mrs. Curtis was a Christian leader and great church worker. She was a member of Payne's Chapel, A. M.

She leaves a husband, mother, son, two daughters, three granddaughers, broher-in-law, two sisters and two bro- thers, and a host of friends to mourn her loss.

The groom was dressed in the regu lation black dress suit and looked very handsome and cute. They were attended by little brides- maids and little men, dressed for the occasion. As the clock struck 12 Miss Gladys Harvey became Mrs. George England, and it was amusing to note that the groom at once insisted on taking newly found bride home. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Mr. Ethe] Heron, 8-year-old daughter of Mrs. Steele. The wedding march was played by Miss Alice B.

Turner 1212 £. 20 For the Benefit of Its Readers The Statesman Wishes to Reduce the Complicity of the Water Discussion to Simple Statement AN EXPLANATION OF A MUCH MOOTED QUESTION There is much confusion in the mind of the average citizen over the identity of the various water companies that have served Denver and over the rate schedules that have been in force from time to time. It is the purpose of this article to exclude from discussion all the companies which have not been immediately interested in the 1890 ordinance, No. 44, which is the franchise under which the Denver Union Water company is operating. This franchise was originally given to "The Denver Water Company," a corporation which was largely made up of eastern capitalists. Associated with them were the local capitalists who now constitute the principal owners of the Denver Union Water company. Note carefully the difference between the names of the two companies so that no confusion will arise in the further discussion of this question. The unwillingness of the eastern capitalists interested in the Denver Water company to permit the construction of storage reservoirs and other improvements that would provide for the growth of the city, caused the formation of the Citizens' Water company in 1889, composed wholly of Denver men. This was done after these same far-seeing Denverites had been refused an option on the old company. The ultimate sale of the older company to the American Water Works company of New Jersey in 1891 resulted in litigation and under court orders the Denver plant was sold and purchased by the newly organized Denver Union Water company, the present company, which was organized for that purpose and at the same time took over the plant of the Citizens' Water company. The new company was substantially the same as the old Citizens' company and ever since the water system of Denver has been in the hands of local capitalists. Messrs. Cheesman, Mo. fat, Clayton, Halleck and others are well known for their connection with it. The rate question is a complex one. It has taken fifteen years out of the whole twenty of the life of the franchise (ordinance 44) for the courts to pass on it, and it is little wonder that the average citizen does not understand it. The city council in 1890 passed ordinance 44 at the request of the Denver Water company through Senator Patterson, its attorney. Remember, that company was the one composed of eastern capitalists, and the competitor of the Citizens' Water company, composed of Messrs. Cheesman, Moffat and others. The rates as fixed at that time are what are known as schedule A, which remained in force for five years. Then trouble began because of a proviso in section 5 of the ordinance, which was as follows: "Provided, however, that at any time after five years from date, the city council may require said company to fix schedule rates for private consumers equivalent to the average rate prevailing in the cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati for the same service." In the meanwhile the courts, as above stated, had caused eastern capital to get rid of its Denver holdings and the present company was in the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. saddle. The franchise being a contract between the city of Denver and the water corporation, was binding on the successors the same as on the original parties to it. Therefore when the five years was up and the city asked that an average rate be made according to section 5 of the ordinance, the water company had to comply. Upon investigation, it appeared immediately that an ascertainment of the average water rates for the three cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati was an impracticable task, if not a legal impossibility, owing to the different methods of fixing the water rates prevailing in these three cities. Chicago rates were based on frontage and fixtures used. Cincinnati rates were based on floor area and fixtures used. St. Louis rates were based upon location of property, number of rooms and fixtures used. The company pleaded its inability to do the impossible and offered a compromise schedule, giving successive reductions of ten per cent., fifteen per cent. and twenty per cent. from Schedule A for general service, and forty-five per cent. for irrigation. These offers were made not as conceding in any way the obligation to do so, but for the purpose of effecting a compromise, preventing litigation and annoyance and loss, both to the company and to the consumers. Under the administration of Mayor McMurray, these efforts to compromise upon this provision were ineffectual, and the company voluntarily put in effect the Leaffet Schedule, which was not less than a twenty per cent. reduction from Schedule A for general service and forty-five per cent. for irrigation, and this schedule remained in effect until the spring of 1898. In May, 1897, on the instigation of Mayor McMurray, suit was instituted in the district court for the county of Arapahoe, to secure a compliance with the proviso of Ordinance 44 of 1890. The court decision ACTUALLY RAISED RATES ABOVE THE LEASE LET SCHEDULE THEN IN FORC AND ABOVE ANY OF THE CO. PROMISES OFFERED. The reason for this is that in law, the justice of a contract is not the question, but whether the provisions of it are carried out by both parties to the contract. Therefore the water company could neither charge MORE than the rates agreed upon nor could it charge LESS! The district court said it could not definitely determine what was an average between Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis, but did make a decision and that decision was binding until the case was further adjudicated in a higher court. Citizens and corporations make contracts, but it is the courts that have the right to say what those contracts mean. In the light of this it can be seen that the Denver Union Water company has been involved in litigation through a contract made by Senator Patterson for the old Denver Water company. Its rate schedule as offered was actually lower than the one of the old company, both before the case was put in the courts, and after the courts had decided what the rates contracted for really should be. Finally the supreme court of the state was called upon to make the la adjudication of the matter, which --- 2100 ARAPAHOE ST.

PROMPT DELIVERY TO ANY PART OF CITY G. A. ALLEN, Prop'r. Its decision said : did in July, 1907. among other thing "The whole burden of the defendant's (the water company) brief and argument is to the effect that the company, having adopted the schedule of rates, which was less than the contract called for, had kept not only the letter but the spirit of the contract. We believe that this contention of the defendant is amply substantiated by the evidence in this case, but, under the issue presented by the pleadings such contention can not avail, for the reason that there was no question of justice, fairness or reasonableness of the schedule of rates adopted by the company in 1895 presented to the court below. "The sole question was a determination of a schedule of rates which should be equivalent to the average rate prevailing in the three cities mentioned for the same service." It will be seen from this that the rate question is complex because of the nature of the contract entered into between this city and the old Denver Water company. Neither the people nor the present company can evade the provisions of this faultily drawn contract for the twenty years the ordinance is in force. The water question as it is to be decided this spring is apart from the discussion of present rates. It is up to us as citizens and up to the Denver Union Water company to make such a contract as is equable now. The past is gone and will not return. Twenty Days For White Chicken Thief Out in Pasadena, Cal., the latter part of January, it is alleged, one George Willetts a white man, was arrested for stealing chickens from the benroost of Stephen Wilson, an Afro-American. In court Wilson said, "Judge, if you will allow me, I will ask that you be just as easy as pos- sible with this white man.

Gone from earth, yes, gone forever; Here no more to be, no never; But we'll walk the path that thou didst trod And meet again in the Paradise or God. How oft has death entered our house hold, And taken some one from the fold? Just two short years a blessed brother And now it's our beloved father. We should not weep, nay should we mourn, Our loved ones now are safely home Waiting for us in the Rock of Ages, Where some day, too, we'll sing God's praises.

It was a cruel fate that consigned Messrs. W. C. Dobbs of Detroit, Mich. and James Hill of Toledo, O., to cells in the common jail of a Michigan county simply for obeying their employers, the Flint and Pere Marquette, in serving liquor to the patrons of the road while passing through "dry" counties. M. S. S. But one of these counties in question employed "spotters" to investigate and see if there were any illegal sales of liquor being made in their county, and as they knew liquor was sold on trains it was easy to catch the W. C. DOBBS. easy to catch the colored buffet men who served it, as the railroads had made no order to stop such sales at certain points, and the average railroad employee never knows whether he is in a "dry" county or a "wet" county while passing through the state. When Dobbs and Hill were arrested the railroad attorneys promptly advised them to plead guilty in the belief that a fine would be imposed which the company would pay and thus secure the prompt release of their men, but judges are prone to spring surprises, and the consternation of both the men and railroad officials may be imagined when the judge in this case imposed both a fine of $50 each and imprisonment for twenty days in the common jail. One may think that the judge in this case who so unjustly sent two colored gentlemen to prison for practically nothing was a southern Democrat, but instead he was a northern Republican. But the sheriff of the county, a Mr. Shields, is a northern Democrat, and he promptly recognized the injustice of sentencing these men to a jail term and made their enforced visit to "his house" as pleasant as possible. The Hon. Thaddeus W. Taylor of Howell, a prominent Republican race leader and business man, became interested in the men, and under his chaperonage both Messrs. Dobbs and Hill attended several parties given in their honor by the colored citizens of Howell. On one occasion Sheriff Shields left the jail in charge of Mr. Dobbs while the former took his family to the theater. THEY TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD Whites of South Grasped Meaning of President's Policy Quickly. Jack Thorne, the well known writer and story teller, has the following to say about the two great political parties in national and municipal politics. The actions of Theodore Roosevelt in the Brownsville affair made many a hitherto stanch supporter of the Republican party lukewarm and drove not a few into Democratic ranks. But nothing has caused more desertions than has Mr. Taft's possum feasts in the south and his possumlike concessions. More Negroes voted for Democracy last fall than ever before. Mr. Taft's advice to the southern Negro has been: "Agree with your adversary. Make friends with your neighbors, those of the white race with whom you are in daily contact, who are in sympathy with you and who give you employment." To the southern whites he said, "I will appoint no Negro to office in any community. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORAD by the white people." How largely the southern Negroes have heeded the president's advice we are unable to say, but this we do know—that the whites took him at his word, and in some southern states the Lily Whites have ousted every Negro officeholder. He who runs may read and know that we have in the Republican party no longer men of the Lincoln, Garrison, Phillips, Brown, Beecher type. The principles they championed are, we fear, forever dead. In place of the sympathetic, brave carpetbag Yankee who in the south during the reconstruction period laid down his sword and with the elementary spelling book and the Bible waged war with ignorance and undertook to teach the Negro the value and meaning of true citizenship has sprung up a Lily White Republican capable of more hostility and meanness toward the Negro than the Democrat could conceive. These are the people who are clamoring loudest and boldest for the elimination of the black man. No man of the Negro race north or south has shown himself to be more wide awake to the situation than Sumner H. Lark, editor of the Brooklyn Eye. Braving the scorn and abuse of his race, Mr. Lark in wise and logical editorials reiterated Mr. Taft's advice and undertook to convince his people that it is time to divide their vote. During the recent municipal election Mr. Lark took the same firm stand and supported Judge Gaynor for mayor. In seeking to establish a Democratic club in Brooklyn Mr. Lark has endeavored to eschew the army of "a few dollars and a drink" floaters who have made the Negro voter offensive to both parties here in the north and has endeavored to rally to his standard men of character, imbued by the desire to do the things that will bring about that recognition the Negro demands. Whether Mr. Lark is vindicated, whether his services to the party in this municipal election are recognized or no, whatever sore heads or factionists may do to hinder him in his efforts to make the Negro a factor whose power will be recognized by those desiring his support. Sumner H. Lark will remain the same unswerving champion of his race. UNAUTHORIZED ACTION. Purpose of Morris Brown College Should Not Be Changed. Editor Sol C. Johnson of the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune is not in favor of changing the purpose of Morris Brown college at Atlanta and says: "The agitation in some quarters to industrialize Morris Brown college is very unfortunate. This is an institution connected with a great church. Its purpose is to educate students for service as teachers, preachers and missionaries. As we have been informed that this institution was never intended for an industrial school and it is only recently that this idea has been presented, and in an unauthorized way, the leaders in the great A. M. E. church should put down the present differences and make Morris Brown what it is destined to be." Valuable Addition to Hospital Staff. Dr. Frank F. Davis has been appointed a member of the staff of the tuberculosis clinic recently established in connection with the Freedman's hospital at Washington. The appointment is an excellent one, and Dr. Davis' thorough knowledge of the latest methods in sanitation will render his services of inestimable value to the new system that is being put into practice by the medical authorities there. Leading Business Organization. The Washington commercial council, though young in point of age, has become the leading local busineses organization of the nation's capital.

City News "The Utopian Social Club," which was organized last fall for the sole purpose of promoting refined social functions, elected the following officers on February 28. The following were elected officers for the next quarter: A. G. Fallings, pres.; Jos. Montier, vice-pres.; G. W. Brooks, secy.; O. Dishman, treas. The life of the club, as well as that of any club which purposes to entertain respectable persons at regular intervals, depends largely on the enthusiasm and support shown by those invited, and there is no doubt in the minds of all that if this organization's efforts are appreciated, they will not fail to cater to their guests in a loyal manner. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Watkins entertained at dinner Sunday. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. John Short, Messrs. V. B. Walker and T. W. Richmond. Mrs. Rhoda Haley has returned to the city after several months spent in Oklahoma in an endeavor to regain her former good health. Mrs. Plummer of 25th and Arapahoe streets has been ill. The advance in methods and machinery put out of business the old-fashioned house cleaner with his carpet beaters, etc., and the still further advance of machinery has brought within reach of the individual a wider sphere of usefulness. There are now small portable suction sweepers, working as effectively as the large ones, and one of these Chas Wicks of 1114 Acoma street has purchased whereby he is now able to do house cleaning and rug and carpet renovating cheaply and effectively with no injury to the fabric. This piece of enterprise is worthy of mention as showing that color is an accident and that the man is after all the measure of one's possibilities. J. R. Jackson was ill last week. Mrs. Maggie Smith, on her way home to Lawrence from Salt Lake City, is stopping with Mrs. Chas F. Smith of Williams street. Joseph Williams of the Burlington service left the city his week for a trip to Seattle and coast points. W. E. Ridgway, who was injured in a wreck last month, is about again. T. O.

At the cozy residence of Mrs. Maree Jeter-Gaskins on Marion street happened one of the jolliest and funniest affairs yet given on Capitol Hill. The event was in the nature of a surprise social given in the honor of Miss Smith, late of St. Louis, Mo. Broad smiles, hearty laughs and happy grins sandwiched every joke and games until it made the evening one bubbling event of joy and pleasure. The happy crowd left at midnight saying, "We won't go home till morning," and profusely complimenting Mrs. Gaskins for her ideal social proclivities. EUREKA LITERARY ROARS WITH LAUGHTER AT "AUNT SU-SAN JONES." When it was announced last Tuesday night that "Aunt Susan Jones," a comedy, would be presented by Mrs. L. E. Richardson, Misses Dora Nelson, Fisher and Jeannavea Marks, the audience anticipated lots of fun, but no one fully realized the exceptional treat in store for them. Mr. Stephen Lowe was the "Beau Brummel" of the play and displayed much love and affection in the role he assumed. Personal mention of the participants is forbidden by our limited space, but suffice to say that during the entire play the house roared with laughter, and the climax came when the journalist, Ray Clark, told all the secrets he knew about the love affairs of the literary members and friends. Red hot wafles and ice cream completed a very enjoyable and entertaining evening well spent. Persons who desire to appear upon the program in any line will please see Mr. Wayman ard, Miss Fisher, Mr. Lindsay and J. N. Walker. A good program was announced for next Tuesday night.

PAGE. 4 Young Negroes Making Good Most Progressive Era in the History of the Race Since Freedom—Large Number of Capable Men Holding Positions of Trust and Responsibility—Views of W. S. Buchanan Presented. This is the day and age of young men. More young men of the Negro race are in responsible positions today than has been true of any other period of our history since freedom, and in most cases they are making good. Professor Walter S. Buchanan, the newly elected president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College For Negroes, located at Normal, Ala., is one of those young men who by sheer merit and perseverance has made his way to the front. Mr. Buchanan is a graduate of Harvard college, and he is not yet thirty. He succeeded the late Professor William H. Councill as president of the Agricultural and Mechanical college when there were a dozen applicants in the field, all of them strong and experienced school men. His work in the few short months that he has been at Normal proves the choice to have been a happy one and shows him to be possessed of more than ordinary executive ability. The school in all of its work equals its record in its most prosperous days, and there is a complete absence of any friction. If possible more stress is being placed upon the acquirement of technical knowledge, and the institution is becoming in truth an agricultural and mechanical college. A recent address delivered by President Buchanan at Birmingham shows him to be a broad thinker, with a comprehensive grasp of the real racial situation in the south. He carefully reviewed the social and economic relations between the races from slavery until the present day and gave some wholesome advice to his people. In the course of his remarks he said: As grave as have been the errors on both sides and as irritating as is the effect of them upon our social fabric, they have not been sufficient to break the bond of mutual friendship and helpfulness which makes the Negro and the southern white man the best of business partners. And this is the sum total of all the saving grace in the race problem—that the south is loud in its praise of the Negro as a laborer and gives him abundant opportunity to earn a livelihood. This fact above all others is to be the keystone in the arch of race readjustment. The larger relation between the races is the relation between capital and labor, and it is in this relationship that we must make good as efficient and responsible producers or yield our places to the invading hordes of Europe. Despite the various acts of legislative injustice and individual cruelty, the whites and blacks of the south love and understand each other as freligners can never hope to be loved and understood by them. But in the long run efficiency and reliability win. Perhaps you think I overestimate the importance of our servant class as makers of sentiment, but I am reminded of Nehemiah, who escaped into Persia, where he later became cup bearer to the king. This servant was a member of an oppressed and despised race, but as a servant he was so loyal and spotless that through him the king he served developed a kindly spirit of sympathy for his downtrodden race, so much so that when Nehemiah requested of the king that he be allowed to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls of the city the king not only granted him permission, but sent along a whole army to protect and assist in the operations. May we not reach the hearts of those we serve in the same way and so reap great and lasting benefits for the race? Service is sovereignty. We should strive to acquire the habit of doing little things well, of doing common things in an uncommon manner. We should not waste time complaining about the fact that for generations to come we are to be the hewers of wood and the drawers of water, but should rather acknowledge the fact and strive to excel in our various lines of endeavor, letting no man be more honest, dutiful and Christian hearted than we, realizing the fact that evolution is a slow but sure cure for most of our present civic ills and that faster and faster and more and more all men alike are being admitted into that greatest of all fellowships—the aristocracy of character in the kingdom of service. This responsibility of leadership constitutes a holy moral obligation resting on the shoulders of the white people, and they cannot ignore or abuse it and reach the highest development. And, while it is true that the white man cannot hold the Negro down without staying down with him, it is equally true that the Negro can make no sure and permanent progress without the friendly co-operation of the whites among whom he lives. Therefore we should strive to cultivate the friendship of the whites, and the whites should strive with us for the same end. And white men who disregard the efforts of thrifty, self respecting Negroes to win their sympathy and esteem through clean living, right thinking, honest toll and habits of thrift and economy show by their very indifference that they have no homage for virtue clothed in black, no honor for integrity of character in men of color and no respect for the highest and noblest human passions when found in a black man's heart, and thus are lost the surest powers of leadership which one race has over another, and thus are the winds of discord sown in the bowels of our civic prosperity. Kirmess In Aid of Orphan Asylum. Ten churches, the Young Men's Christian association and a group of trained nurses took part in the grand kirmess in aid of the Howard Colored Orphan asylum, which came to a successful close at Jefferson hall, Brooklyn, on Saturday, Feb. 26. Superintendent J. H. Gordon and his coworkers are much pleased with the financial results. Dedication of Carnegie Library. President W. P. Thirkield announces that the date of the dedication of the Carnegie library at Howard university has been changed from March 10 to April 7, when President Taft will deliver the principal address. The change of date is consented to by President Taft in order that Mr. Andrew Carnegie may be present. The library is a magnificent structure of the colonial type of architecture located at a commanding point on the campus and will be the central axis upon which the rejuvenated college spirit of the university will turn. HELL BENT FOR PLEASURE. Church Members and Society Leaders Are Setting Bad Example. We clip the following from part of a recent editorial in the Detroit (Mich.) Informer. It makes no distinction as to race: "From the number of cheap theaters and other shows that are always well patronized on Sunday, from the increasing number of Christian church people who give or attend public balls, from the large number of leading citizens who simply seem to close their eyes to crookedness and grafting in public officials, from the scandalously large number of male society leaders who publicly consort with members of the demimonde and the seemingly ever increasing number of people who become intoxicated at social gatherings it would indeed seem that the great mass of people were hell bent in search of questionable pleasure."

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. 1.

Will Be Interesting Event at Baltimore Feb. 20. Steady Growth of the Work. Much interest is being manifested in church circles at Baltimore in the forthcoming celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Sharon Baptist church, which also marks that of its pastor, the Rev. Dr. William M. Alexander, for the same length of time. The services will begin on Sunday, Feb. 20. The church was organized early in 1885 by Dr. Alexander, nine persons forming the initial membership. They worshiped at first in a stable, but the steady growth of the work made them seek more commodious quarters. The congregation continued to grow until it became necessary to again seek a more commodious house of worship, which was secured on Carey street, where the church now stands. It is now one of the most flourishing congregations in Baltimore. Dr. Alexander was born in Fredericksburg, Va., in 1854. He went to Baltimore in 1870 and became an active member of Union Baptist church, where he received every encouragement from his pastor, the Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson. He entered Wayland seminary at Washington in 1878, graduating four years later as valedictorian of his class. He pastored a church at Bladensburg, Md., for awhile, afterward becoming state missionary for the Baptists, which position he held until he organized the Sharon church. Dr. Alexander has been one of the most public spirited pastors in Baltimore for a quarter of a century, being conspicuous in a number of movements for the uplift of his race. He was one of those in the fight for the admission of colored lawyers to practice at the Maryland bar, one of the organizers of the Brotherhood of Liberty and was a prominent figure in 三 REV. DR. W. M. ALEXANDER. the successful fight for colored teachers in the city schools. He served as treasurer of the great Negro young people's congress, which was held at Atlanta, Ga., in 1902. He has been corresponding secretary of the Lott THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLOADO Carey Baptist convention of Virginia and has succeeded in raising $30,000 for the support of missionaries in Africa. These missionaries report over 3,000 conversions. When the Suffrage League of Maryland was organized in 1904 to fight the Poe disfranchisement of Afro-Americans Dr. Alexander was elected president of the league.

Dr. Alexander has been honored by Shaw university with the degree of doctor of divinity. Lecture In Aid of Hampton Institute. The stereopticon lecture which was recently given at the Central Congregational church, Brooklyn, in the interest of Hampton institute, Virginia, was both interesting and instructive. Several views illustrating the activities of its graduates in their outside work were shown. Chaplain H. B. Turner of the institute and his assistant made timely addresses. A substantial sum was contributed toward the work of the institution. The Hampton quartet sang several plantation melodies.

Clarion says from now on we are going to cut right and left and make the welkin ring until we bring about an awakening of our business men to the end that they pool their issues and work together in unity. Editor Turner is right. The way to get rid of any evil is to strike at its roots. It may sometimes be with more valor than discretion, but it will start things a humming The Boston Guardian says: "It now looks as though in the case of the effort to have the names of Harvard Confederate graduates inscribed on the tablets in Memorial hall of Harvard the southerners and southern sympathizers and those who wanted to curry favor with the south for the benefit of Harvard have overshot the mark. The deed gift has put a stop to this specific move, it seems. The credit is due to Colonel N. P. Hallowell of the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Massachusetts regiments, composed of colored men. He took up the fight and will win, especially aided by Mayor Henry L. Higginson." WALTE Groceries, Vegetables, F OUR SPECIALTIES FO VEGETABLES PHONE MAIN 1144 OVER ALLEN'S DRUG STORE L. B.

CLANSMAN UNABLE TO WORK DENVER FOR FREE ADVERTISISING Somehow the city has survived the disasters which were prophesied for it if the clansman were produced here. In fact, so far from this play exerting a potent influence upon the community contrary to the best interests of the colored people, it has been roundly condemned by at least two daily papers, condemned by one ex-Governor, and praised by no one. It is admitted on every hand that it is an overdrawn picture of reconsteration days, with no excuse for reproduction on the stage in this day. It is said to be devoid of even literary merit. In the opinions of the men who were aproached and sought to organize the Negroes into united protest against its production here, it seeks to secure public notice largely on the attitude of Negroes toward it. This is on the theory that hatred of the Negro race is strong enough for white people to gladly patronize what we protest against. It may be that the management of the Clansman is right. It may be that hate is enthroned above love. If it is not, there is no need of protest, for the very violence that the play does to truth and right is sufficient to condemn it in the eyes of the majority of people, and if it is, let this country go whirling down into the maw of disaster where it belongs. DENVER CONFESSES PHARISA ISM Denver, the Mile High City, has several wonders all its own. The latest is a new brand of religion especially respecting missionary work in foreign lands. The papers have been full this week of the developments of the differences arising over the attendance of colored laymen at the monster laymen's missionary banquet. The facts in brief are that the laymen's missionary movement with the missionaries themselves and the head officers of the missionary movements of all churches behind it, is being pushed throughout the United States in an endeavor to give force to the work of the Christian churches in heathen lands. This movement through correspondence has sought the co-operation of all ministers, including our colored ministers. Here in Denver the local committee introduced the idea of a banquet as an influential adjunct to the regular convention, the banquet to be Thursday evening, and the convention Friday and Saturday. The colored ```markdown ``` PAGE.8 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

The fault can only should be as late as Monday in reach- ministers, being members of the city ministerial association, were solicited to rally their laymen along with other ministers. Later the requests for tickets made by the colored ministers were rejected on the ground that the white waiters hired to serve the banquet would not serve the colored persons who attended. Then ensued the charge made by the colored ministers that the waiters' refusal was a subterfuge behind which the local committee hoped to cloak its own unwillingness to provide for the colored laymen. This was borne out by the published statement of the white waiters that they had not refused to serve colored persons in attendance upon the banquet. Finally the matter was settled by colored waiters being employed and the colored ministers being given the assurance that they and their laymen were as welcome as any at the banquet, first come, first served. The net result of the whole matter is a few hundred dollars to colored waiters, and a world of shame to Denver Christianity. The idea of a movement to carry the light of the Gospel to Africa and the isles of the sea, with its principle of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, being unable to bear with the presence of a few Negroes! The Bible and the whiskey barrel have before now come under the accusation of being the two "pacifiers" which the white man resorted to when the bull and the sword were too costly or too desperate to win foreign lands. The Denver brand of missionary laymen happily found insufficient backing in the national movement and Christianity to spread the disgrace which they had contemplated. There has ben so much favorable comment upon the judicial acts of County Judge Dixon that we must speak of this growing tendency of simple folk to mark well their friends. The great moneyed interests of the country have a good memory, but the common people are more prone to forget quickly and let impulse rather than reason and interest guide them. From the comment being made it would appear that Judge Dixon stands much higher in the esteem of thinking citizens as an upright judge and an able lawyer than some who sit on the supreme bench of the state. In fact, it is a common opinion that an exchange of places would be for the best interest of the commonwealth. Colorado has the court habit. The nearness of the spring elections is presaged by the appeals to the courts to adjudicate differences in the interpretation of the election laws. This TEAMS.

DENVER ITEMS McCLAIN AGAIN WON. The application for a new trial by the Curtis Theater Co. was argued on last Monday before the Hon. Judge Greeley Whitford and was overruled through the efforts of Dr. McClain's attorneys, Ross and Townsend. The defendant was given 90 days in which to file his bill of exceptions with the supreme court of Colorado. It speaks great honor to his attorneys, who have won every time they have went into court, and bringing success out of a case no white lawyer would take because of the feeling it would arouse against him among his white brethren. The case must be appealed, and it will take money to do this, for the attorneys have given their services free and unless the people come to their support the case will be dropped. ALLIANCE HEAR VAN CISE. While only a few people were present to hear Lawyer Van Clise on the water question, yet the small crowd thoroughly enjoyed his able address, full of fire, facts and forcible logic. He spoke about an hour and his speech seemed more like a brotherly conversation twixt man and man. He pointed out that a bath in Boulder, where the city owns its water plant, costs less than a bath in Denver, the former being about 67 cents and the latter $2.41. In Colorado Springs, where the city owns its own water works, a bah costs about 75 cent while in Denver $2.41.

Frank Kempton, Lloyd Hall and Duke White are going to Salt Lake to play ball the first of April. Jack Johnson will start light training about the 15th of March for his coming fight July 4th with James Jeffries. The best tcolored ball players are found in the South, and they don't grow on trees every day. But Dixie is where all of the good players are turned out, and they are still coming. Young Gans and Bruce, of this city, are two very clever boys, and should go East or West, or even the South, where the fight game is open. Their chances in Denver are very slim. Tyndall Graves, captain of the Spumkins base ball team, will have one of the strongest amateur clubs in Denver. There will be a number of Denver colored sports to attend the big fight, July 4th, in Frisco. STAGE FOLKS The Negroes of Jacksonville, Fla., are going to have a new theater, with a seating capacity of 1,200. Nothing but first-class plays or acts will be booked. The Pekin theater of Chicago has closed, the stock company is gone, and is now being used as a five-cent moving picture house. Josephine Gassman and her three little picks made a big hit at the Majestic last week. The children were very clever with their singing and dancing, and well received. The Three Mitchells, formerly of the Orpheum circuit, cannot play return engagements on that circuit on account of inability to produce a new act, and they are now playing at the Grand, a colored house in Chicago. There is some talk of the colored performers of Denver playing the moving picture house circuit. It would be a good chance for the amateur to try out, and then be ready for the big field of vaudeville.
