TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society NEWS FROM WYOMING'S CAPITAL TWENTY-FIRST YEAR NEWS F WYO CHEYENNE, WYO. THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY HAS PLEASANT MEETINGS. One of the most delightful meetings was held three weeks ago, at which Mesdames York and Gilbert were the hostesses. A splendid program was rendered, which consisted of solos by Mrs. Landor and Mr. Jefferson, papers by Mrs. York and Miss Alexander, a pantomime by Mesdames Thrower and Banks and a question box presided over by Mrs. Washington, the president of the society. Both Mrs. Landor and Mr. Jefferson were in excellent voice and rendered their selections in a pleasing manner. The papers by Mrs. York and Miss Alexander were full of good thoughts. Mrs. J. E. Smith was the soloist for the graceful pantomime by Mesdames Thrower and Banks, and each of the ladies performed very gracefully. We must not fall to mention two very special numbers which delighted all who heard them. Rev. Washington is possessed of a fine baritone and rendered a choice selection in a most admirable manner. Sergenat Clinton delighted by reciting in his usual happy manner. An appetizing lunch was served by the charming hostesses, Mesdames York and Gilbert. Mrs. Simon Smith is always a delightful hostess, and on last Friday evening entertained the mite Missionary Society in her beautiful home on Twentieth avenue. A program was rendered and a delightful repast was served. Mrs. Washington, the president of the society, is sparing no pains to make the society a decided success in every way, and is heartily supported by the women of the church and the community. In the near future a humorous drama under the direction of Mrs. Washington will be given for the benefit of the society. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. T. Edward Gray were grieved to learn of the death of their son, Ernest, who was born in this city seven years ago. Ernest was a bright little boy and was loved by everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Gray were for many years residents of this city, but for the past three years have made their home in Oakland, Cal. The Misses Ida Cox and Thrashley, two charming young women of Denver, Colo., were guests recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1910 this city. During their stay they were honor guests at a pleasant gathering at the home of Captain and Mrs. Chas. Young of the Ninth Cavalry at Fort D. A. Russell, where a most enjoyable evening was spent. Guests from Cheyenne who enjoyed the hospitality of Captain and Mrs. Young and who assisted in making the event an enjoyable one, were Sergeant and Mrs. Plum Banks, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Redd, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Baker, Miss B. Lena Hopkins and Messrs Nolle Smith, Orlandor and Wayne Gaskin and Curtis A. Ward. Mr. Balleau, a sergeant in the Ninth Cavalry at Fort Russell, died very suddenly Friday of last week and was buried last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Balleau, assisted by Mrs. Balleau, recently conducted a restaurant on Eighteenth street in this city and was quite well known and respected. Our Druggist Only One Attacked Last Monday, March 21st, Mr. Geo A. Allen, the druggist, was tried in the West Side Criminal Court before Judge Allen, in two cases, charging him with selling intoxicating liquors at his drug store (2100 Arapahoe st.) on Sunday. He was acquitted in both cases. The evidence for the state given by three detectives of the Burlew Detective Agency, was uncertain and conflicting, while that of the defense was positive and bore the stamp of truth, and the court had no trouble in so finding. One feature of the trial was quite noticeable. Never probably was a case tried in Colorado wherein the professional life among the race was so largely represented. Joseph H. Stuart was the defendant's attorney. The defendant himself, is a registered pharmacist of much experience; while his witnesses were Dr. J. H. Westbrook, physician and surgeon; Dr. W. A. Harper, dentist, and Thomas Thornton, his soda water dispenser. Mr. Allen's drug store is the only one owned and conducted by a colored man, and it is a strange and singular fact that of the hundreds of pharmacies in this city his was the only one picked out to be victimized by the Burlew Detective Agency, backed by the Anti-Saloon League. R. E. Norris, the coal dealer of the past winter, has grown into the hay and grain dealer of this summer. His new location is 2613 Arapahoe street, where he will be glad to see all his friends. A Word About That $100,000 (The Editor will undertake each week to state in simple language the facts about some point involved in the water question) NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

All the members and friends are asked to hear this speaker of national repute. At 8 p. m. an elaborate Easter programme under the auspices of the Sabbath School will be rendered. The public is cordially invited to witness the same. Our Sabbath School, beginning the first Sunday in April, will adopt "The Little's Cross and Crown System."

Vacations will be allowed by permission. Pupils absent without excuse lose the part of the term already made, but may begin a new term the next Sunday they attend. Children not attending any other school are asked to join with us. At 8 o'clock Thursday night, March 31st, on behalf of "The People's Sunday Alliance Civil Rights Fund," there will be a mass meeting of the Colored citizens of Denver in the main auditorium of The People's Presbyterian Church. Distinguished race leaders will be the orators for the night. Let everybody come and hear what these gentlemen have to say. EUREKA LITERARY. The attendance and programs of the literary are indeed splendid. The young people especially are taking an active part and ceem it their duty to see that the society prospers. Misses Brown, Von Dickersohn, Fisher, Lewis, Parker, Vivian Jones, Mrs. Chatman, and Mr. C. Rice were the participants upon last week's program. On Tuesday next at 8:30 p. m., Misses Mable Andrews, Della Parker and Messrs. Roy Handy and Leon Morrison will The payment of $100,000 to the city proposed by the Denver Union Water company is another of the phases of the present water discussion that is producing some vagaries which would make Ananias envious. Here are the facts: Mayor Sheer has projected a system of parks and boulevards in addition to those already in use, which is very extensive. Near-by property has been assessed to make these beauty spots. General taxes must bear their maintenance. Water is the one prime requisite to any beautification scheme.

Neither the President of the State Federation nor any Federated clubs of one city is empowered to "rule" upon any subject effecting the State Federation without a majority vote of the body itself. Governing myself by the law, the "Official Call" for the Executive Board meeting was issued for April 2nd. The President in the presence of another State Officer gave me her word March 3rd, that she would be present at the meeting April 2nd, for she acknowledged there was no law to govern her action. I am a "member of a local club" and told the President she had been misinformed. Moreover, there is a law in our constitution permitting a woman to become a member of the Federation upon payment of a certain sum, and we have an individual who is a member under this law. Consequently our Federation is composed of "clubs and individuals." There is no one in authority to issue an "Official Call" except the Chairman of the Executive Board, and the Executive Board will meet April 2nd, at Colorado Springs. MRS. JULIA EMBRY, Chairman Executive Board March 19, 1910. OFFICIAL CALL. The Executive Board of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Colorado and Jurisdiction, are requested to meet April 2, 1910, at 10 a.m., at Colorado Springs, Colo., the home of the Chairman, 802 N. Walnut St. All state officers and presidents of clubs are urged to be present. By order of Chairman of Executive Board. MRS. JULIA EMBRY. March 2, 1910. That $100,000 take each week to state the facts about some the water question) Center, and all the parks and boulevards now building will cost more than $100,000 per year when completed. The allowance to the city by the water company of this amount of free service, AMOUNTS TO A GIFT TO THE TAXPAYERS OF THAT MUCH. By its terms the city could at once discontinue the pumping plants it maintains for its park lakes. It could at once make the city beautiful and not let the present expenditure go for naught because a stingy council will not give the park board sufficient funds. --- THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Having received an official communication from the Federated Clubs of Colorado Springs, Jan. 28, 1910, "that the chairman of the Executive Board of the State Federation was no longer a member of any local club," the state president ruled that a woman not affiliated with any local club could have no affiliation with the State Federation, since the State Federation is composed of clubs and not individuals. She was notified of this ruling Feb. 6th, 1910. Any notices or calls issued by her since the above date are unofficial. Any appeals from this ruling can be presented at the meeting of the Executive Board, April 14, 1910, at Colorado Springs. LIZZIE M. FROMAN, State President. ELIZA GOENS, Cor. Sec. March 14, 1910. DOUGLAS NEWS. TheMission Board of the Territory met in Second Baptist Church on 17th inst. Rev. J. B. Bell, chairman of the Board, was present. Rev. J. D. Haley, Secretary. Owing to the great distance of travel the ministers and delegates from other churches did not all get in. The program was carried out just the same. The pastor, Rev. J. D. Haley, had lost no time in seeing that everything was completed for the entertainment. Rev. J. H. Brown, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, preached on Friday night. Ladies' Mission Circle served cream and cake on Saturday night. Three very interesting services on Sunday, closing Monday night with a sermon by chairman Rev. J. B. Bell, it was pronounced by those who heard, to be up to the needs of the hour. The A. M. E. Church throws all previous records to the wind in way of a rally. Rev. Brown put forth his plans in January to raise $500 by March 6, but was closed on the 13 and 14. The $500 has been raised and something over. and now the A. M. E. Church has purchased the lot with a nice edifice which will be ready for services on Easter. This is a piece of property which is very valuable from fact of its location. The Sunday School, who THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. through assistance of Mrs. J. D. Moss, raised the sum of $16.00. So the children come in to share in the great victory. The deed has been made, records examined and the balance owed on the deal is $50.00, which will be paid in full in next sixty days. SHORTER CHAPEL EASTER SERVICES. The Sunday School has made extensive preparations for their Easter program which will be rendered at 9:30 a.m. All persons are invited to spend this hour and a half with the children.

The pastor preached upon the "Responsibilities of Living," which seemed to have been enjoyed by the worshipers. The choir rendered especially good music at both services. The power of such an organization cannot be told in words. Rev. L. B. Banks of Henderson, Ky., preached in the evening from the text, "In Him We Live and Move and Have Our Being." The congregation greatly enjoyed the effort. Brother Banks is invited to return. The Sunday school under Brother Porter seems to grow in interest as well as numbers. The new program adopted last Sunday is calculated to do much good. Brother Porter is receiving the support of the entire school in his effort to be on time. The teachers are planning a membership campaign by which it is hoped to double the enrollment. The Teachers' Training Class is being organized and is open to any one who desires to get better acquainted with the Bible and prepare himself to teach it. The course covers a year, with two examinations, and a diploma is given with the seal of the International Sunday School Convention, which makes the holder a member of the Teachers' Alumni Association of America. The cost is only $4 for the year. The B. Y. P. U. discussed the subject, "Is Money a Curse or a Blessing?" The lesson brought forth many splendid arguments, suggestions and bits of experience. On the whole it was very enjoyable. We need a larger number of young people in these meetings. It is worthy of note that the devil manages to have worldly attractions going on for our young people seven nights each week. How can we hope to checkmate him except we adopt the same methods? If we cannot save our young people we have no excuse for our existence as a church. The Sewing Circle had an especially fine meeting last week at the home of Sister Carrie, 2609 Lafayette street. A large number of ladies was present and a delightful luncheon was served. The president is preparing to render a program at the first meeting in each week. We need a mothers' meeting in Zion. There is much good that can be done in getting the mothers together to discuss practical means of child culture. A great race is only made possible through trained children. After Easter the boys and girls of our church and Sunday school will be organized into a domestic science class, cooking, sewing, housekeeping, art and fancy work will be taught. Our mistake has been in a failure to occupy the hands of children while trying to reach the heart. The Mission Circle met last week at the church. The sisters are faithful to this department of the work and are doing great good. The Mission Study Class, under Sister Ethel Layton, is prospering. More members are expected. The Men's Bible Class is one of the live organizations of the church. The interest is more than remarkable. The chief cause of regret is the fact that a number of our men desire to join us but who are engaged on Tuesday nights. The pastor hopes to be able THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. shortly to issue lesson outlines each week so that those who cannot come regularly may have the lessons at home. The banquet for men will be held Tuesday night. We expect to see 100 men sit down to dinner at 7 o'clock. After dinner a program of music and speechmaking will be enjoyed. All the men or the community are invited to be with us. The Willing Workers met last Thursday night at the home of Sister Mary B. White, 2516 Curtis street. The ladies of this circle are always faithful in keeping up their end of the work. The church is planning a mammoth May carnival to be held at the close of the month. We expect to make this the largest festival of the city's history. The following persons are leading, which is a guarantee of success: L. H. Waiton, chairman executive committee; Mrs. L. Froman, amusement committee; Mrs. Luiu Muse, booth committee; Mrs. F. Barber, dinner committee; Mrs. Lucy Martin, soliciting committee; Miss Charlotte Clark, serving committee; J. W. Jackson, decorating; W. A. Jones, M. D., publicity; A. C. Jackson, finance. EASTER AT CAMPBELL. The most beautiful scenery and decorations ever witnessed in this city will be seen at Campbell Chapel, Twenty-third and Lawrence streets, Easter Sunday. The decorating committee is sparing neither pains nor money to make the interior a flower garden, and the home of birds. Adjusted by the hand of an artist will appear a beautiful cross on Calvary. Program, 11 o'clock: 1. "Bearing the Cross," by choir. 2. Scripture reading by Pastor. 3. Quartet, "Angels Lifting the Veil," Maceo Williams, Othelia Tucker, Claud Davis, Rosie Brown. 4.

REV. W. C. WILLIAMS. RATON. N. M. A Milk Maid's drill was given last Friday evening at the A. M. E. church by Mrs. J. C. Spurlock. It was a decided success as the ladies have been making preparations for several weeks. The Maids were dressed in white costumes, over which were the dainty aprons of nainsook. The pretty costumes also included neckerchiefs and caps to match. An interesting program was also rendered. Mr. Myron Hunn as "Miss Susie Baker" afforded much amusement during the evening. A dainty and delectable luncheon was served after the drill. Quite a neat sum was realized, which will go towards church expenses. Miss Alice Coulter, as organist, was as usual in attendance with her delightful playing. Next week the young men of the church will have charge of the program. --- Every Friday Night April 1, '10 East Turner Hall DANCING SCHOOL Are You Coming Out? Competent teachers will dances.

Vernon, Scene of Brilliant Gathering of Society Leaders at Reception Given by Mrs. Vernon. Treble Clef Club to the Fore. The reception recently given by Mrs. W. T. Vernon, the wife of the register of the treasury, at their beautiful home in Le Droit park, Washington, was one of the most pronounced and successful social events of the season. The large parlors were literally banked with palms and flowers, converting them into a veritable bower. In the dining room, where luncheon was served, was also a beautiful sight. The entire room was illumined by candlelight. A large candelabra was in the center of the table surrounded with yellow tulips and jonquils. In the rear parlor, almost obscured from view by palms and potted plants, were the musicians, who played delightful music during the whole evening, which ranged from selections from the old masters to the classical music of modern writers. Felix Weir, the noted violinist, who studied in Germany, and the Jeter brothers, famous for their cello renditions, were the performers. The receiving line was marked by the brilliancy of the gowns worn by Mrs. Vernon and those who stood in the line with her. Mrs. Vernon wore a beautiful gown of white satin with pearl trimmings. Those who assisted her were Mrs. Robert Pelham, who wore a gray satin princess gown with white lace. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, who wore light blue satin with fish scale trimmings; Mrs. W. S. Loftin, who was becomingly attired in a brown marquisette gown; Mrs. William H. Clifford, who wore black crepe de chine: Mrs. A. M. Curtis, who wore spangled net over light green satin, and Miss Boardley of Philadelphia, who wore blue silk with beautiful Persian trimmings. All of the ladies in the receiving line carried tea roses. Those who assisted as the guests arrived and departed were Miss Theresa Lee, Miss Lottie Wallace, Miss Abbie Williams, Miss Blanche Wright and Mrs. James Wright. The members of the Treble Clef, a musical club of Washington matrons, were the honored guests of Mrs. Vernon and remained throughout the evening. Among the guests were ladies of prominence in the social life of the Capital City. Some of those present were Mrs. M. B. Albert, Mrs. E. F. Arnold, Mrs. M. E. Arnold, Miss L. G. Arnold, Mrs. B. K. Bruce, Mrs. R. C. Bruce, Mrs. A. H. Brown, Miss Fairfax Brown, Mrs. H. C. Boyd, Mrs. Eugene Brooks, Miss M. P. Burrell, Mrs. Lucy A. Blackburn, Mrs. C. W. Childs, Mrs. George W. Cabannis, Mrs. G. W.

EMINENT NEGRO AUTHORS. Reasons Why Negroes Should Read Their Own Literature. John E. Bruce (Grit) of Yonkers, N. Y., whose book entitled "Biography of Eminent Negroes" is nearing completion, gives eight reasons why Negroes should read the literature of their own race and in the last count says the best history of a race is written by the men of that race. No other race historian will preserve all the traditions and facts relating to another race as truthfully and accurately as our own historians. Race pride is the incentive that spurs all historians to write of their race and its achievements, and historians of other races seldom tell the whole truth about a race which is striving to equal their own race. Organizer For Suffrage Movement. Miss Irena L. Moorman, who was recently appointed as organizer for the Political Equality association, of which Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont is president, wishes to hear from all women who are interested in the suffrage movement. Headquarters are at 28 Court street, Brooklyn.

The recent action brought by Isaac Allen, an Afro-American politician, against Otto T. Bannard, the defeated fusion candidate for mayor of New York last fall, to recover $225 for services rendered as a campaign spellbinder was dismissed a few days ago by Judge Murray on the ground that no valuable services had been rendered. In the case of Julius Ayler, who says he is an independent Democrat and that Mr. Bannard promised him $150, Judge Murray reserved decision. There is said to be widespread dissatisfaction on the part of colored Republicans and Democrats because of non-recognition of their claims to political positions which so far seem not to be forthcoming. R. P. Hamlin's Encouraging St. Secretary R. P. Hamlin of the Carlton 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 patient is in excellent condition. Dr. Hall is the most famous negro surgeon in America.

Vicksburg as Business Center City Teems With Enterprises Conducted by Our People—Lincoln Savings Bank Oldest Financial Institution in the State. W.E. Mollison's Career In Business and as a Public Official. By HORACE D. SLATTER. In Vicksburg, Miss., is to be found the oldest Negro bank in the state, from which successful operation was gathered much of the inspiration which makes Mississippi lead all other states in the successful operation of such financial concerns. To be exact, there is more business activity among the Negro people in Vicksburg and in other cities of its size in the state than will be found in larger cities in other communities. For example, while this is not necessarily intended as a criti- C. cism upon the Negroes of the city of Washington, it is well to call attention to the fact that there are more Negroes in Washington than there are people in the three largest towns in Mississippi, and in either of these towns will there be found more activity in every direction than is true of Washington. As little as one would think of it, it is something above the ordinary for a city with a population of not hardly 15.000 Negroes to maintain successfully two banking institutions, and yet that is what Vicksburg and the vicinity of Warren county do. A large number of the fraternal insurance organizations in the state have their executive offices in Vicksburg, where will also be found solid business and professional men who are to all intents and purposes some of the best and strongest men of the race in the south. The Lincoln Savings bank was organized eight years ago with the well known W. E. Mollison at its head, who has ever since presided over its destinies and has made it the strongest bank among our people in the state. The bank possesses total resources of nearly $100,000 and has an immense clientele. The present officers of the Lincoln Savings bank are W. E. Mollison, president; B. F. Lacey and P. C. Copelain, vice presidents; Miss Mabel Z. Mollison, cashier. The executive commit THE 2 ATEOMAN DENVER COLORADO tice is composed of W. E. Mollison, C. B. Minor, B. W. Currie, W. B. Jones and E. P. Jones. Besides his work at the Lincoln Savings bank, Mr. Mollison is perhaps best known by reason of his pre-eminent standing as a lawyer, practicing in a community where all the officers of the court, from judge to jurors, are white men. He is a brilliant and forceful speaker and, in addition, what is in many cases more important, knows the law. In the roseate days gone by Mr. Mollison served as superintendent of Isaquena county and was successfully clerk of the chancery court for a period of eight years. His party nominated him for secretary of state in 1889, but unfortunately the Republican ticket was beaten that year. A distinction attained by no other man of the race in the state has since come to Mr. Mollison in that since the adoption of the new constitution in 1890 he has been appointed by a Democratic governor district attorney pro tem of the county. This happened in 1892, and he served during the whole term. Since those days Mr. Mollison has lost none of his influence, and in many of the affairs affecting Negroes in the state his fine hand has been seen smoothing the way for them. He regularly goes to the Republican national conventions, and his advice is always sought and respected in various ways with reference to Negro affairs. Mr. Mollison occupies a handsome suit of offices upstairs in the Lincoln Savings bank building in Vicksburg, where he is ably assisted in his business by C. B. Minor, John Harris and Miss Mabel Z. Mollison. Miss Mollison is the most acceptable little business woman to be found anywhere. She holds the post of cashier of the Lincoln Savings bank in a businesslike manner and is the supreme treasurer of the Golden Eagles, one of the strong fraternal organizations in the state. PAINSTAKING PHYSICIAN. Dr. McClendon's Busy Life—Would Make an Ideal Public Official. New Rochelle, N. Y., is fortunate in having as a physician to minister to the wants of its Negro population a young and experienced medical practitioner in the person of Dr. C. P. McClendon, a native of Arkansas, who is a graduate of the University of Michigan. Dr. McClendon's clientele embraces nearly all the leading colored families in New Rochelle and the outlying towns. He is universally admitted to be a painstaking physician, and his cheerful disposition and optimism are making him many friends all over the county of Westchester. He is popular with all classes, is an active member of the various fraternal and beneficial organizations of New Rochelle, member of the executive committee of the Negro Republican league and a good fellow generally. Rumor connects his name with a local appointment under the new city administration. He was a good hustler in the local campaign, and he possesses the mental and moral qualifications to fit him for any position within the gift of the municipal government. It would be a tactful stroke for the appointing powers to recognize some of these able and influential young Negroes. If they want to hold the Negro vote in future campaigns they will have to recognize their leaders, and now is a good time to begin. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS.

The building of institutions of learning for the education of young colored men and women by members of their own race has been one of the most encouraging features of the progress of the Negro race in the United States since the close of the war of the rebellion. True it is that they have been successful in business, agricultural pursuits, politics to some extent and along some special lines, but the foundation upon which his present status rests, the encouragement and inspiration which have given him his present prestige and upon which his future hopes and aspirations must depend, is in the education of the masses of his people. In the Corey Memorial institute of Portsmouth, Va., the Baptists of the tidewater section of the state have an institution of which they need not be ashamed. The school was started in May, 1906, in the Methodist chapel with fifteen students and two teachers. Rev. W. H. Willis, A. B., was its first principal, in which capacity he served one year. The location of the institute on the outskirts of the city, overlooking [Picture of a man in a suit, facing the camera.] REV. DR. B. F. M'WILLIAMS. Scott's creek, is most desirable. It is controlled by a board of trustees consisting of twenty-three members from different parts of the state. That the school is meeting the demand for which it was organized and filling a long felt need among our people may be seen from the rapid growth which it has had in less than four years. The main building has seventeen rooms. There are at the present time six teachers and 165 students. The present equipment of the school cost $10,000, of which sum $6,000 has been paid. Rev. B. F. McWilliams, B. D., the present principal of the school, is not only well qualified to preside over the business affairs of the institution, but is a scholar and an educator of THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. marked ability and experience, naving filled the chair of sacred literature and elocution at Virginia Union university, Richmond, Va., acceptably for five years before taking up the work at Corey institute. His even tenor of life and sincere devotion to racial interests place his work at Corey institute upon a high and dignified plane. He knows the trials and perplexities of student life and can therefore more readily sympathize with the struggling young men and women who come under his official supervision. The literary course includes both normal and academic training. But in order to broaden the work and give larger opportunity for the great number of young men and women who can THE FAMILY OF THE FARMER GROUP OF FACULTY. not afford to pay all cash for tuition and board the principal and the board of trustees are now bending all their energy and influence toward raising sufficient funds with which to purchase a truck farm upon which students may work out a part of their expenses and at the same time receive instruction in modern methods of agriculture while pursuing the normal or academic course, as the case may be. Another pressing need of the school is a dormitory for young women. With ample acreage for truck farming and a suitable building with modern equipment for girls and young women the school would soon double its influence and usefulness and thus pave the way for a still larger work. There is no discounting the fact that as a race we owe it to ourselves, our children and to posterity to see to it that we provide sufficient educational facilities for the present generation and thereby lay a strong foundation upon which those who come after us may safely build. More and more do we see the necessity for more efficient service from those who teach and those who would be leaders of the race. Again, we must show young people the mistake which many of them are making by yielding to the temptation of leaving school to take positions which pay only $4 or $5 a week before receiving at least a normal education. The result is that when the opportunity comes for larger service and better pay they are not prepared to fill the place, while those who were willing to make the sacrifice of a few dollars and social pleasure in order to prepare themselves are the ones who receive the larger rewards. This, then, is the true aim and purpose of Corey Memorial institute—to prepare our young men and women for life's duties along all lines—and this is the reason why it is worthy of the financial and moral support of all persons who are willing to aid the management in its efforts to fully equip the school with the necessary grounds and buildings whereby its sphere of usefulness may be enlarged. Money for a more worthy cause could not be given. The school has THE MUSEUM MEMORIAL BUILDING. proved us worn as well as its claim to exist as an institution for the education of our youth, and we should rally to the call of the board of trustees and Dr. McWilliams with whatever amount we can afford, for by helping them we are at the same time helping ourselves and the race. Political Stir At Washington Henry Lincoln Johnson. Noted Georgia Barrister Who Brought to Indictment the First Peonage Prosecution in the South. Appointed Recorder of Deeds at Washington -Has Brilliant Career. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the well known colored lawyer of Atlanta, Ga. has been nominated by President Taft to be recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia to succeed John C. Dancy. The appointment is to take effect on the 1st of May. News had been given out a few days before the appointment was made that Mr. Johnson was Postmaster General Hitchcock's choice for the place, so the appointment did not come as a surprise to Washington. The local daily papers spoke in flattering terms of Mr. Johnson. The office of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia is indeed a responsible position as well as a lucrative one. It has been filled by seven colored men. Henry Lincoln Johnson will be the eighth of the distinguished colored men who have had the honor. The list includes Frederick Douglass, James M. Trotter, J. M. Matthews, B. K. Bruce, C. H. J. Taylor, Henry P. Cheatham and John C. Dancy. The men who are selected to fill this position are not selected simply because of their qualifications, but the selection has always been given to one who is also a recognized leading member of his race. In his home state, where he is indeed popular, there has been much enthusiasm; throughout the whole south, where he is well known, and in the north and west, where he has a host of friends and admirers, the appointment of Mr. Johnson has been spoken of in most complimentary terms. His remarkable speech at Chicago against reducing the representation from the south in the national convention did much to defeat that measure. He was on the resolutions committee in that convention and had much to do with framing the planks that referred RAG... to the colored people. Before the national committee he appeared in a legal capacity and did much effective service for the Taft delegates in the south where their seats were contested. When the convention ended he JOHN H. BURGESS HENRY L. JOHNSON. rolled up his sleeves and went to work with even greater vim for the election of the nominee of his choice. He was at New York in an advisory capacity to the managers of the Republican campaign, he being called on to give advice with regard to the colored voters. He was with them there from the first day that the committee convened until Chairman Hitchcock closed up "house" after victory had come to their cause. Then Johnson went back to his home in Atlanta, back to his extensive law practice. Now the president has summoned him to Washington to fill one of the three biggest jobs that are accorded to colored men in the nation's capital. Thirty-nine years ago Henry Lincoln Johnson was born in Augusta, Ga. His father died about a month before his birth. His uncle, who was a blacksmith, took a great interest in him. Henry went to school and worked in the blacksmith shop. When he had gone through the Lucy Laney school he was also a first class blacksmith. Professor R. R. Wright and Miss Laney herself were his teachers in his youth. He then went through the full college course at Atlanta university, after which he pursued his legal studies at And Arbor, Mich. Upon the completion of his professional course he returned to his native state, was admitted to the bar and has been practicing his profession ever since. That was fifteen years ago. He was not practicing long before he was recognized as the leading Negro of the Georgia bar. At the age of twenty-five he was one of the "big four" of the state of Georgia at the Republican national convention which nominated McKinley. He has been one of the "big four" from that state at all of the Republican national conventions held since that time, in all of which conventions he served as the Georgia member on the committee on resolutions. It was Henry Lincoln Johnson who brought to indictment the first peonage prosecutions in the south. He put a new interpretation on the peonage statutes and made them operative in those precincts of the south where colored people were held in a kind of slavery.
