FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society PASSING OF A FAMOUS MISSIONARY TWENTY-FIRST YEAR PASSING A FAIL MISS REV. DR. H. N. BOUEY DIES. Faithful Herald of the Cross Passes Away In Africa. The news of the recent death of the Rev. Dr. H. N. Bouey, missionary in charge of the work of the foreign mission board, west coast of Africa, for the national Baptist convention of the United States, came as a great shock to the entire Baptist brotherhood in America. Rev. Dr. Bouey was born in Georgia Aug. 4, 1849, and was a missionary in Africa for nine years. Before going to Africa he gave $100 toward the founding of the Western college. Macon, Mo., and spent twelve years as superintendent of missions in that state. On Dec. 11, 1906, he sailed for Africa for the third and last time. He succeeded in building a church at Tallah, his Kongotown station in the Vey territory, and planned the erection of a permanent house for the Jordan Industrial mission at Bendoo station. JOHN H. HARRIS REV. DR. H. N. BOUEY. At his death the work was almost com- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1910 pleted. Dr. Bouey leaves three boys to mourn their loss. His dying request was that his sons be educated in the United States. To this end Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the foreign mission board, will work. Dr. Pettiford and wife of Birmingham. Ala., have agreed to give $100 toward the home passage of the boys. Memorial services in all churches throughout the denomination will be held during this month for the deceased missionary. Letters from pastors are being received at the mission rooms in Louisville, Ky., daily, asking for information concerning the life and work of Dr. Bouey, in order to make the memorial services more interesting and effective. The foreign mission board is making a strenuous effort to raise a large sum of money on Easter Sunday. March 27, the day set apart for the annual foreign mission rally, and is urging every Baptist Sunday school in this country to use programs arranged and sent free to the Sunday schools by the board, provided the money raised on that day be given to foreign missions THE STRUGGLE OF LIFE. Dr. W. L. Bulkley Sounds Note of Warning to Young Men. The woman's auxiliary of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, Brooklyn, held a joint meeting with the members of the branch at the Concord Baptist church recently, with Dr. W. L. Bulkley, principal of public school No. 125, as the chief speaker. The academy quartet, led by Professor P. Albert Myers, sang special selections, and after introductory remarks by Chairman E. H. Wilson, who presented the speaker, Dr. Bulkley spoke on "The Struggle of Life." He said in part: "I don't know if the men of this branch are awake to the importance of the fact that the chief necessity of life is a sound body. We need the strengthening influence of vigorous bodies. I have often tried to discourage parents who asked for working papers for boys and girls. I find that two or three or four dollars per week do not pay the boy or girl of fourteen to leave school, for soon they become men and women and are unqualified to earn good wages. You live in a city that offers unexcelled advantages. No other city excels ours in educational advantages. When I started the Night Industrial school in this city, in the borough of Manhattan, I had in mind the advantages it would give, especially to my own people. In less than a year it registered over 1,700 scholars of all races. I wanted colored people to realize that unless they are trained they cannot compete with the other people in this country. Here you have the libraries, public lectures, etc., and there is no reason why every man and woman here should not have an education. "It is the easiest thing in the world to go down the hill. I myself have to study to keep up. There is no such thing as progressing by nature. Like the tree, we have to grow from our own efforts." Take Courage and Press Onward. John Mitchell, Mr., says: When we note the expressions of good will coming from the better class of white people to the better class of colored folks who are progressing we take courage and press onward. Neighborhood Club's Practical Work. The Lincoln Neighborhood club is making its influence felt in a practical way at the settlement house, 105 Fleet place, Brooklyn. On Thursday afternoon, March 3, the club opened a reading room for working girls and supplied it with good literature, material for interesting games, stationery and other conveniences for their entertainment in a social and helpful way during leisure hours. R. P. Hamlin's Encouraging Secretary R. P. Hamlin of the barkton avenue branch of the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian association in a recent statement says that from February, 1909, to March 1, 1910, the branch held forty gospel meetings, which were attended by 2,006 men and boys. The average attendance at the Bible class was fourteen. The bowling club and the basketball team number fifteen and twenty men respectively. Health talks were attended by 350 persons, and the branch secured situations for thirty-seven men and twelve boys. The work of the association is in good shape, with a membership of 200 men and thirty boys. Afro-Americans Own Textile Mill. The recent incorporation of a textile mill owned and operated by Afro-Americans at Durham, N. C., with a capital stock of $50,000, has aroused much interest among business men of both races. The firm will manufacture, among other articles, hosiery and underwear. FIVE CENTS A COPY MRS. W. T. VERNON ENTERTAINS.

T. Vernon between 7:30 and 10:30 o'clock on the evening of March 3rd. The house was elaborately decorated with palms and flowers. In the receiving line with Mrs. Vernon stood Mesdames Robert H. Pelham, W. S. Lofton, M. C. Terrell, Wm. H. Clifford, A. M. Curtis and Miss Beardley of Philadelphia. The Misses Charlotte Wallace, Abbie Williams, L.

A buffet luncheon was served by Underdown. The dining room table was decorated with yellow tulips and jonquils, in the center of which was a large candelabra, the room being illuminated entirely by candle light. The members of the Treble Clef, a musical organization of matrons, were the honored guests who remained during the evening.

E. church, amid the busy scenes of this city of commerce and thrift, nestling at the foot hills of these mighty and perpetually snow-capped mountains, Denver is regarded as a typical western city, where sin and vice are rampant. A city where men are concerned about everything except the one thing needful, the salvation of men. Sin was called to halt in its onward and downward march at the command of the trumpet of God's mighty "Son of Thunder," Rev. T. L. Scott, of St. Joseph, Mo., who, with his gospel fire, set in motion the old-time revival machinery which mowed down men and women like grass before the sythe. Denver began to vibrate as if it were shaken by an earthquake. Confusion took possession of the place of sin and vice; homes, where Satan had reigned supreme were turned toward God and His church. Men who had been strangers to the House of Worship laid aside their gambling and wickedness and wended their way to Campbell Chapel to listen to Rev. Scott. His preaching seemed to electrify them and his gospel songs of the old-fashioned kind put on the finishing touch to his wonderful sermons. Strong men and old men were brought to their knees in tears and sought earnestly for Christ. Denver simply went revival wild. Christians from nearly every denomination in the city joined in the fight. From the start (Feb. 6) to the end (March 6) the church was not half large enough for the great mass of people. Old settlers who have lived here for forty years declare they never saw anything to equal it. Some nights from five to eight hundred people were turned away from the door for want of room. One hundred and fifty-six souls were brought from sin and Satan into favor with God. Of this number 119 united with Campbell's Chapel; 37 going to other churches of the city. During the four weeks of this meeting the collections amounted to $500. The last night (Friday, March 4) the public collection amounted to $125. Rev. Scott was presented with a handsome tailor-made suit of clothes and numerous present for himself and also for his wife. The $125 was given to him and he gave the pastor, Rev. W. C. Williams, $50 of the amount. Campbell Chapel has suffered many reverses in its history, but the clouds have passed away and today she stands as a monument to the religion of the old-fashioned kind that existed in the days when men were not afraid to say, "Praise God" above a whisper. The old fire is kept burning at Campbell all the time. God has wonderfully blessed the work under our present pastor, Rev. W. C. Williams. CABBELL AT SCOTT. The District Superintendent of the Lincoln Conference preached a strong sermon at sacramental service Sunday afternoon at Scott, M. E. church. There were many of the congregation who demonstrated their appreciation by the shouts of "Amen" and "Glory to God." The audience responded quite readily both spiritually and financially, and a glorious time was had. There was given a very unique social at Scott M. E. church Tuesday night, known as the "Handkerchief Bazaar," which was not only well patronized but heartily enjoyed. Some time ago the members were urged to have their friends out of town send them a handkerchief to cost not more than 20 cents and no less than 1 cents. Handkerchiefs came from nearly every state in the Union as a DENVER LOCALS TWO WEDDINGS A neat announcement is that signed by Olive Elizabeth Douglas of her arrival on the 5th of March at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David W.

Collector of Internal Revenue Ferdinand Eldman, Third New York district, has appointed a Negro, Walter Cole, deputy collector in his office. Mr. Cole is a member of the Colored Republican club of New York city and owes his appointment to the influence of that organization in New York county politics and the good offices of Collector C. W. Anderson, who always looks after his members if in good standing. Mr. Eldman is entitled to and we are sure will receive the thanks of colored Republicans of New York in thus honoring a worthy representative of the race and party in New York. Like Sis Hopkins, colored Republican voters in this state have reached the point where "they don't keer for nobody 'at don't keer for them." We opine that Collector Eldman is a practical politician, and these are the kind that generally get what they go after when the music starts. KEEP AN EYE ON RAVENELL Afro-American High School Boy Dubbed as Coming National Champion. Gotham sport critics are high in praise of James Ravenell, the New York Public School Athletic league 100 yard outdoor and indoor champion, who has been making things hum for the Empire City's best sprinters for the past year, and in many quarters he is looked upon as the coming national champion. Ravenell is at present a pupil in the High School of Commerce in New York. Last May in the high school outdoor championships held at Curtis field, New York, Ravenell pomped home a winner in the 100 yard dash in the corking time of 102-5 seconds. This equaled the record made on May 25, 1907, by Arthur Cozzens of the Manual Training High. Since that time Ravenell has run several corking races, and, though his coach and schoolmates sent out reports to the effect that he ran 100 yards in 102-5 seconds in practice consistently prior to the recent indoor MRS. ESTHER MORRIS Extends an invitation to all friends and patrons to her opening of Thursday, March 17, 1910 championships, schoolboy experts gave little credit to these. Ravenell in his record run in the Twenty-third regiment armory recently defeated Van Winkle of the boys' high by four yards. In his sprints Ravenell uses a peculiar twist to his body, which is not impressive and looks rather awkward. He runs with a full swing of the arms and has his head bent low. He is one of the poorest and slowest starters in the P. S. A. L. Ravenell broke the school record for the furlong sprint last June in the dual meet with Clinton, breaking the tape a winner in the excellent time of 232-5 seconds. He is the smallest senior running in the sprints in the high school-only five feet two inches tall. He weighs only 110 pounds. Before entering Commerce Ravenell attended P. S. No. 87 of Manhattan, where he broke his novice in an elementary school meet. In 1908 he established the indoor record for the seventy yard midget dash, covering the distance in 8 seconds. Ravenell also is a good standing broad jumper, clearing nineteen feet in the running and nine feet in the standing jump. In dual meets he frequently clears five feet two inches in the high jump. Southerners Overshot the Mark? 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." D. J. Sullivan & Co. FLORISTS Artistic Funeral Designs a Specialty Birds, Seeds, Cages, Etc.

PAGE 2 Quartet of Young Athletic Stars Afro-American Lads Lead on Relay and Track Teams In Public School Athletic League of New York—Clifton Vester and Brother Two Fleetest Short Distance Runners Ever In Contest. In the Vester brothers, Lawrence Jackson and Percy Lee, Afro-Americans are well represented in the Public School Athletic League of New York. Their record as sprinters of the first magnitude has been the wonder and admiration of athletic experts around New York, many of whom now say that these young athletes have clearly demonstrated their capacity for the severest physical tests and for a long time they will neither be equaled nor excelled by any of their class. Clifton Vester, the midget sprinter of public school No.24, has demonstrated in the last two years that few athletes in the Public School Athletic league have anything on him either as a sprinter or as a member of a relay team. The youngster and his older brother are two of the fastest short distance runners that ever competed in elementary school athletics and are idols among their fellows of the upper section of the city. With Lawrence Jackson and Percy Lee, both of whom are members of public school No.24 track team, they are known in upper Harlem as the invincible quartet of colored sprinters. Clifton Vester has made an enviable record since he started to compete in the Public School Athletic league, his performances in the midget and junior classes being of a high order. He, like many colored athletes of note who have been members of public school teams, began his career in public school No. 89. Though he is now a pupil at public school No. 24, Vester earned most of his laurels at the former school. In 1908 Vester made his first appearance in athletic activities when he responded to a call of Coach Carr and began training for a field day which the school soon was to have. Coach Carr, who is a good judge of schoolboy athletes, noticed that he carried himself well and gave him special training. The results of his efforts soon told, for a fortnight later Clifton took all the cracks of the school into camp and won the midget sprint in the closed games by a handy margin. Though he was entered in several open meets prior to the 1908 indoor championships, Vester failed to be placed in any of them. Coach Carr was not dismayed by the adverse showing of his charge and placed him on the ninety-five pound relay team. It was as a member of the relay that Vester showed his true form. Starting as first man, he often gave his mates a lead which enabled them to romp home easy victors. In the indoor games of the Public School Athletic league in December, 1908, Clifton brought a championship to his school by sprinting away from his rivals in the first relay and giving his mates a good start, thus enabling the school to win the title in the ninety-five pound class. Vester is only twelve years old. He joined the track team of public school No.24 last September, when he and THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORAD. Lawrence Jackson were graduated from public school No. 89. Vester's brother also is a member of No. 24's squad and is an expert sprinter. He recently competed in the Paulist games, where he won the sixty yard dash, but on account of poor picking of the judges he was awarded third place, while his schoolmate Jackson got second honors. D. J. Ferris of Loughlin lyceum, who finished third, according to those who were near enough to see, was awarded the premier honors. THE OLD TIME RELIGION. Writer Does Not Believe In the New Kind Filled With Worldliness. Editor E. D. Cannady of the Portland (Ore.) Advocate says: Much discussion is being indulged in both pro and con nowadays on the religious question. The kind that we believe in is the old fashioned religion such as our mothers and fathers taught and lived, and it is mighty little respect or confidence that we have in the new brand of religion which permits one to gamble, swear, drink whisky, dance and tell lies and lead any kind of an old immoral life and still be permitted to disgrace the "amen corner" of the church with their unhallowed presence. Why we speak of it is because Portland's churches are rapidly filling up with the new brand of religious cohorts. PENSION FOR J. H. DOWNES. Civil War Veteran and Faithful Employee Richly Rewarded. A rare but most gratifying form of reward for the faithful performance of duty was adopted recently by Mrs. E. C. Hutchinson, a wealthy white lady, of 1619 Massachusetts avenue, Washington. She has retired with pay for life her former coachman and confidential man, Joseph H. Downes, after thirty-six years of efficient and entirely satisfactory service. Mr. Downes' record was absolutely without a blemish, and he richly deserves the ease and comfort that now come to him and his amiable helpmeet in the afternoon of their long and useful career They are resting quietly at Sitka Farm, in Maryland, full of years and honors. The hospitable home in O street is closed, and the daughters, Mrs. Florence Downes Garner, Miss Blanche Downes and Mrs. Sitka Downes Thomas, are in their beautiful new home at 1341 T street, northwest. Mr. and Mrs. Downes divide their time between the T street residence of their daughters and their country seat at Sitka Farm. Mr. Downes has a war record in which he takes a pardonable pride. He saw vigorous action in the civil conflict as a member of Company K. Twenty-ninth regiment, United States colored troops, and draws a pension for disabilities incurred in the historic campaign of General Ben Butler against New Orleans. For several years he was connected with the staff of General Butler when the latter had his headquarters in the big stone mansion near the capitol now the home of the marine hospital service. Mr. Downes is highly respected citizen and is a member of several fraternities, including the Royal Arch Masons and the Banneker Relief association. He has been prominently identified with many movements looking to the betterment of racial conditions in Washington. The Leader Cafe MRS. L. LACY AND MRS. S. E. JAMES, Proprietors D. W.

Washington said, among other things: "The same pen that gave freedom to 4,000,000 African slaves at the same time struck the shackles from the south of 27,000,000 Americans of another color. "Lincoln was not ashamed or afraid to come into contact with the lowly of the races. I always pity from the bottom of my heart any man who feels that somebody else must be kept down or in ignorance in order that he may appear great by comparison. It requires no courage for a strong man to kick a weak one." Should Practice What They Preach. We want to kindly remind our pastors, teachers, doctors and other professional leaders that it is not enough for them to cry aloud to the public in support of our charitable institutions, but that they themselves should do their part in a financial way also. Take, for instance, cities where there are from ten to fourteen churches among our people and one branch of the Young Men's Christian association, and you will barely find the names of three pastors who hold membership in the Y. M. C. A. The same is true of the other professions in a large measure. Odd Fellows to Hear Special Sermon. Sunday, March 13, will be an interesting day in secret society circles in Pittsburg.

The service at the Laymen's banquet last week is causing the head waiter, George Groves, and his assistants, Thomas Williams and J. W. Morris to be much complimented. They were employed by the Albany Hotel Catering company and they gave such good satisfaction that they will serve future banquets for which this company caters. The noteworthy feature of the whole matter is that this will again call attention to the superior service of the colored waiters and this may be the entering wedge which will mean that they will again give their services in the best restaurants and hotels. Seventy-five waiters served this banquet. Sunday afternoon was a treat for those who went to Zion church to hear Rev. Moody, the African missionary. The meeting was one of intense interest and provoked much discussion among those present. The revivals at four of the churches are over, the one at Campbell church, under Rev. Scott, concluding Friday of THE S.ATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. City News last week. The next will be at Central church at an early date. Services at Shorter church Sunday night were well attended, Rev.

The Handkerchief Bazaar, given under the auspices of the Piano committee last Tuesday evening, was a success from many points of view. Much praise is due Mesdames Baranco and Stafford for their faithful service. The quarantine was raised from the parsonage this week and there were shouts of jubilation heard from within and without. The little boys will not be permitted to go out until their newly-formed skins have become accustomed to the atmosphere.

The Rocky Mountain Athletic Club is making a tremendous step forward in securing a home for itself instead of occupying quarters designed for other purposes. The new location of the club, which it will enter within two weeks is the large building at 2014 Champa street, which is being entirely remodeled. There is being added an addition for pool and billiards, and the rear building is being changed to provide for ordinary and medicated baths and a gymnasium. The baths will have lounging rooms in connection. There will be also card and reading rooms, buffet, lodging accommodations for out-of-town members, cafe service, and in fact all the comforts that go with a first-class club. The larger service and increased membership which this move will bring about has caused the service of Henry Banks to be added to that of Victor Walker, who has been manager up to this time. This will mean that the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club will step up beside the famous clubs of New York, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities. NOTICE TO DARK SKINNED IRISH. The Y. M. C. B.

Mr. Butt is a big booking agent and manager for theaters abroad and this vast combination will give you as much as three years’ booking and not play thte same house twice. Mr. Beck also makes a statement that he will book all of the good colored acts that he can find. This is going to be a great world some cay. Watch and see, There are two late coon songs that are (up to the minute) great: “You've Got to Shake, Rattle and Roll, or My Money Ain't Gwine,” and another scream js, “Come After Breakfast and Bring Your Lunch and Leave ‘For Supper.” Mr. Thos.

He will be featured in a new comedy this coming season. Cole and Johnson are still playing with great success. Cook and Panky are holding down the Pantages this week with their clever song and dance work. Belle Davis and Picks, at the Or- pheum, have a fair act, but we see the same thing so often. Their sing- ing is fair and dancing good. ‘vYhere is talk of a small club of young men organizing a Sunday rid- ing and driving club. There is class in this if {t is to be boys and girls. E. W.

They have not decided on the name of the team. Will know later. The Royal Giants and the Chicago Leland Giants are still playing some fast ball down in Florida. They will be ready to open season in April. We are just finding out that the “Dixie Kid,” colored welterweight, is the champion of that class and a lot of dubs have been claiming that one and great title, champion. The Colored Rocky Mountain Ath- letic Club will soon be ready to move into their new building, 2014 Champa street. The club will consist of a bar, bowling, pool and billiards, a card room, shower baths, a reading room, music room and the big gymnasium. Victor Walker is president and Royal Duke will be thte same old favorite mixologist. Did you ever hear of the Memphis fighter, Kid Hock Bones? They say he is so fast that a bullet can't catch him, much less some of the scrappers that he has come in contact with. He has fought about 20 battles and won every fight. This looks like another colored champion. Jack Johnson has gone into light training for his one big fight, July 4th. It looks like he is going to have a big job on his hands. 2 OFFICIAL RECORD OF YOUNG GANS. Next week I will start my short story, entitled, “Love At Sight,” at negro romance.

No accommodations. Will you help support a first-class place? Twelve thousand colored people can support a fine colored theater, with a Seating capacity of 500, in Denver, if they are given there money’s worth. Well, take it from me, there will be none but the best if such a thing as a negro theater can be founded. We are going to try and have one by the first of May. D. C. ¥. A. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. PAGE. 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 foreigners 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 downrodden 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. 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."

Deputy Sheriff Woods and Inspect. or Smith Making Good. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The tidal wave of political recognl- tion of Afro-Americans recently set in motion by Mayor Herman C. Baehr of Cleveland, O., in the appointment of some twenty-three or more capable men to office seems to be having a good effect in other sections of the country. We were shocked by news from Washington on Feb, 23 stating that President Taft had awakened from a long, deep sleep In which he had ex perienced in a dream the passing of the Republican party from its high and laudable place in national politics a ns ——_ : ak a \ aa! . Sadly iy INSPECTOR W. 4 SMITH In order to appease bis conscience and to at least appear like a Republican of high estate he wrote out the following appointments for two Afro-Americans: Nelson Crews of Kansas City, Mo. special agent of the department of ag- riculture, and W. D. Johnson of Ken- tucky, special agent of the general land office. In politics as in other walks of life the surest signs of progress are unrest, agitation, effort, ambition and persist- ence. And this reminds me of a state- ment made some years ago by the Hon. Stewart L. Woodford before the Brooklyn Literary union when the in- domitable T. MeCants Stewart was president of that organization, Mr. Woodford, speaking as a Republican, sald, “We never freed the slaves until we had to, and we will never accord to them as freemen all the rights and privileges vouchsafed to American cit- izens until we have to.” True it is that he who would be free must himself strike the first blow.

E. church enjoyed one of the most successful and far-reaching revivals in its history. The meeting was well attended from beginning to end. The pastor, Rev. Mr. A. M. Ward, was his own evangelist. Sister A. G. Elliot, one of the conference evangelists, proved to be a very efficient leader in the singing. Miss Vera Ward presided at the piano every night during the meetings. There were about 65 conversions and about 20 reclaimers. The total number received into the church is 105. The pastor's remarks on tardy church attendance had good effects if one is to judge by the magnificent audience that came on time Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Mr. E. B. Banks delivered a most eloquent sermon Sunday evening, using as his subject, "Things That are Great in the Sight of Men are Small in the Sight of God." All went away saying that the subject was most admirably handled and that it was good to be there The church and trustees met in conference last Friday evening, and decided to purchase a sight and erect a new parsonage that would be more in keeping with the progress of the church. The church is now planning for a large spring rally, which will be opened on Easter Sunday. Both the Sunday school and choir are making unusual preparations for their Easter exercises. The choir will render Stainer's "Crucifixion" on Easter Sunday evening. Free souvenirs for all at the picnic Thursday night. Rev. Mr. J. W. Edwards, of the Missouri Conference, will preach at 11 a. m. Sunday. The pastor will speak in the evening at 7:45—subject, Life's Postponements." Sunday school at 10 a. m. Allen Endeavor League at 6:45. All are welcome to every service. A magnificent crowd attended Literary Tuesday night. Several who promised to take part in the program were absent. An excellent program is promised for next week at 8:30 p. m. Misses Smith, Nichols, Mrs. McGuire, Ray Clark, Albert Robinson, and the Y. M. quartet are sworn to appear at that time. The Woman Suffrage question will be up for debate on the following Tuesday by Misses Parker, Andrews and Messrs. Handy and Colleague. Come and bring your friends. N. Walker of 142 S. Cherokee street is taking a lay-off from the Rock Island. He left the city Sunday to take a visit to his people in Ohio and Indiana.
