Denver Star

Notes from Zion Baptist Church Dr. H. H. Jones, returned missionary from Liberia, occupied the pulpit at the morning service last Sunday. The large congregation enjoyed a rich spiritual blessing in his story of experiences in Africa. The sermon was delivered with pathos and power and our interests in foreign missions greatly quickened by this burning message from the field. The stereopticon lecture of Mr. Jones Tuesday evening was in every way a decided success. The broad missionary conceptions of Mr. Jones, set forth with infinite detail and made more real by use of the stereopticon, brought home to the hearts of the audience our obligation to our heathen brethren more forcible, perhaps, than anything has ever done. The lecture was not only entertaining and instructive but was inspiring to a degree which will mean larger offerings for the foreign work. We consider the visit of Mr. Jones Providential. At a time when our work is developing along all lines, material as well as spiritual, to have received this vision of world opportunity forcibly reminds us that our sympathies as well as our obligations should be as broad as the human race. God's purpose in permitting African slavery in this country to the end that her sons might become Christianized and carry the word back to the fatherland is too clearly seen to admit of a single doubt. Thinking men should realize that the failure of the Negro to conform to that purpose is the one cause of his suffering and oppression in this nation. How long will it be before we awake to the heart call of Africa? Rev. Cooke filled the pulpit last Sunday evening, preaching from the question, "What Is Your Life?" When we have heard deeply within our own hearts the voice of God asking this question the response of the soul will be manifested in a higher order of righteousness. May we hear it often. What Is Your Life? The plans for the annual picnic and egg hunt have all been completed and the Sunday School is now impatiently waiting for July 14th. The committee is going to hide a bushel of hard-boiled eggs on the grounds containing a blue egg, a silver egg and an egg of gold. Prizes of $1.00, $2.00 and $3.00 will be given to the boys or girls who find these eggs. Everybody is going on the hunt. It is to be expected that the attendance at the B. Y. P. U. during the summer months would drop off somewhat, but it is to be hoped that DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1910 those faithful young people who are the life of this organization will remain faithful under difficulties. The hour from 6:45 to 7:45 can be spent with great joy and profit even though the public parks are extremely inviting at this season. Let us have a good attendance this evening. The work of Mr. A. C. Jackson and his assistants at the Sunday School Mission deserves great commendation. Great good is being done for the children in this section and those whose opportunities for church affiliation are more or less limited. After while we hope to hold a series of revival meetings at the Mission. The musical recital by the pupils of Miss D'Antermont, a week ago Friday, was a very enjoyable affair and was well attended by the parents and friends of the little folks. Denver is at the present time blessed with musical talent but the genius of some of these little artists is more than remarkable. The wise parents will not fail to push them to the top. The ladies of the Willing Workers' Circle are making a strenuous effort to reorganize and rejuvenate that important auxiliary. The meetings are held on Thursday afternoons and evenings at the home of Mrs. Mary Banlon White, 2516 Curtis. Especially is it hoped that the ladies of the church who are not active in other auxiliary work will join the Willing Workers. The Sewing Circle met last week at the home of the president, Mrs. Bruce. A good attedance and enjoyable afternoon was had. An interesting program was rendered and dainty luncheon was served. The ladies welcome back home the former president, Mrs. M. O. Jackson, who is much improved in health by her long vacation. You can't afford to mis the big annual picnic and egg hunt given by the Sunday School at beautiful Glacier Lake, in the very heart of the Rockies at an altitude of 8.500 feet, the most delightful one day trip in the state. Over an hundred miles ride for $1.25. Everybody waits for Zion's big picnic. Our Sunday evening services for the summer will be largely musical and will hold only one hour, from 8 to 9. The pastor will preach 15-minute sermons. Every worshiper may be at home by 9:30 p. m. Toward the last of the month will be held the pastor's midsummer reception to members. A delightful program is being prepared and plenty of refreshments will be served. Every member is expected to attend. Three thousand dollars will clear our magnificent property holdings of a debt which has hung on for some years. It will be such a delightful thing to feel the burden lifted that the members are lining up to wipe out this balance at a single effort. Second Sunday in October is the day. OUR SPECIAL SERVICE. Over several months, through an arrangement with a prominent press bureau, we have been able to give our readers a special country-wide news service that is unexcelled. We trust that our readers will not be content to read only the city and correspondence pages, as is usual with the race press, but will read every page, as on them all there is some gem of literary merit. Then, if you like it, tell your friends. FOR SALE—Five-chair barber shop. Good location; doing a good business. One of the oldest in the city. $1,500.

The Woman's Mite Missionary Society will conduct an industrial training class each Saturday from 3 to 5 p. m. at the church for all children. Competent teachers are secured for sewing, millinery, cooking and missionary work free of charge. Miss Tillie Randolph is the superintendent, with Mesdames O'Bryan, Turner, Davis as assistants. Any child who wishes to take the training is welcome. Mesdames E. N. Ward, E. Waldon and Miss T. Randolph will attend the missionary school at Boulder next week. Monthly communion will be delivered at the Sunday morning services tomorrow. Visitors are heartily welcomed to worship with us. Many visitors of last Sunday are especially invited to return. ```markdown ``` FIVE CENTS A COPY A POOR HOPE If it was not for sheer disgust, we would laugh over the newspaper talk about Jeffries being the "hope of the white race." A very poor hope of any race is a prizefighter. The days of force are over and except as he represents exuberant good health, no prizefighter is worth while. He is no more than an athlete participating in any other sport. He represents no more stamina, and exercises no more brain power. We confess we want to see Jack Johnson win. Our sole reason is that he is a black man. We concede to the white press the right to wish Jeffries to win for a similar reason. But Johnson is certainly not the hope of the colored race. Our hope is not in a man of mere bodily strength and agility. We have found the greatest culture and refinement, the highest intelligence and even considerable wealth added to these to be insufficient to overcome prejudice against our black skins. It is useless to say more. This fight, like every other occasion when excellence in any given line is found in a black man, is being made to serve as the text for an anti-Negro crusade. If it costs ten thousand brawls and ties up every boat on southern rivers, we want Johnson to win. Our only regret is that the black blood in us, which flows thicker than water with a prizefighter, is not equally thick with all of our people who reach eminence. J. J. Houston is all smiles. Last Wednesday his wife present ed him with a fine eight pound girl. VALEI I. G. A. When President Fallings was interviewed by the Statesman reporter recently as to the aims and efforts for the accomplishments of the purposes of the I. G. A., he makes the following reply: "I can say without hesitation that the I. G. A. is starting on its most prosperous year. We are out and all that is needed is to arouse the interest of the members, which can be done with little effort. The I. G. A. has the material to make it the strongest and best organization in the West, and while President I shall leave no stone unturned to make it what it should be. We are going to hold regular monthly meetings and the literary and social condition of Denver will be much improved as the result." This is the kind of a statement or pledge we like to hear from the incoming president, and the whole Board of Directors will be behind him in his effort to improve our conditions. He also announced that he expected to call a meeting of the board so it could get organized some time next week and then watch for results. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO.

Hackley, while passing through St. Louis, heard this wonderful girl and took her in hand, and promises that in a year or two Miss Fitzhugh will be a singer who will make all critics sit up and take notice. CAKE WALKING IN NEW YORK. It seems that cake walking is about to come back. The members of the Ben Butler Company gave a big contest last week at the Surf Avenue House, Coney Island, and never drew such a crowd since they have been in business. Ben says he thinks cake walking will be as big a rage as the 'merry widow" dance. BELLE DAVIS AND PICANNINIES.

The world's greatest comedian opened last Monday at the New York Theater as star comedian, and the only colored man who has ever held such a prominent position with any big white company such as Follies. He has a two-year contract at $1,000 a week. JOHN RUCKER, THE OLD COMEDIAN. John Rucker is proving to be the biggest drawing card any of the smaller New York houses can get, and why, because he can hold a crowd for hours and they will never get tired listening to his old familiar songs and jokes. He is still making a big hit with the song he sang eight years ago, "Why Don'h It Rain on Me, Dear Mother." Rucker, some years ago, was known as the world's greatest comedian, and there are only a few who can beat him today. LOTTIE GRADY'S HIGH SALARY. Miss Grady opened at the Monogram Theater, Chicago, last Monday for a run of four weeks, and is drawing larger crowds and being paid more money than any other single performer in the State Street vicinity. She gets $250.00 a week. R. M. A. CLUB TEAM WINS CHAMPIONSHIP. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Club nine won the colored base ball cham- --- PAGE.12 THE STATESMAN. DENVER.

Saturday's contest was a soore of 20 to 7. Sunday's first game 9 to 8, second game 14 to 13 with a large attendance on both days. The R. M. A. C. made qulte a hit with their ability as stars of the diamond. They are contemplating going to Kansas City to play the Cyclones. Well, if they do go they will have a chance. AT ELITCH'S GARDENS. There are seven colored performers out to Elitch's this week, closing to-night with "Cameo Kirby." They are doing a singing and dancing act that is very pleasing. Miss Grace Buris, contralto, made quite a hit Monday evening singing the "Last Rose of Summer." Dewey Hayden and George Elkins are a big hit with their clever dancing, and the quartet composed of harmony-makers such as Camile, Nicols, Julius Ragesville, Thomas Berry and Leon Pryor are taking the house by storm. The quartet will soon appear on the steamboat at Luna Park, about the 11th of July, with a new line of the very latest songs out. JACK JOHNSON AND The time is near at hand to decide the one great argument between Jack and Jim, the two great heavyweights of the prize ring. Some people are under the impression that this fight will be a racial contest, but it is not so. The Johnson-Jeffries imbroglio is a match of strength, agility and science, and Monday afternoon when the men strip and don their gloves it will be man against man, and the spectator who allows Johnson's color to detract from his ability is not a true sportsman and would show very bad taste. And, dear people, don't let the papers detract your attention from Johnson to Jeffries just because he is being made a five to three favorite over Jack. If you have any money to bet, and want 'o win, put it on Johnson. It is just as hard for Jeffries to win as it is for a camel to pass through a needle's eye. I don't think the fight will go over 15 rounds, as Johnson will go in to win from the start. You will hear of one Jim Jeffries being knocked out in or around the fifteenth round of their battle July 4th. Jack is down to weight and expects to fight at 210 pounds, which will make him as spry as a two-year-old. Well, people, Jack is one of our own race and may have his faults, but help him to win if you can. LADIES' DAY AT R. M. A. CLUB. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Club extends an invitation to all ladies on the afternoon of July 15th, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., to come down and see the new club rooms, which are considered the finest in the West. They will have Prof. Lon Lechman as pianist and the R. M. A. A. quartette will also render some very pleasing selections. In fact, the board of directors are going to make your visit a most enjoyable one, and the hope that all the ladies will accept this invitation as it will prove to be just what you have heard—the swellest in the country.

He said that over several years his firm has been receiving bodies prepared by the different white undertakers of Denver and the one received two weeks ago from the Douglass Company was the most perfectly embalmed one of them all.

They sing "Lindy Lou," and "If He comes In I'm Going Out," and "America is a Grand Old Place After All." They play Pueblo next week, St. Joe week after and they close the season in Chicago. They were well pleased with Denver and her people, but not with the accommodations. Panky and Cook are on the Shea circuit, New York.

Nation Wide and Nation Binding Decision Might Settle It. If there are many more decisions on the subject of what is a Negro, says the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate, we shall soon be at a loss to determine our racial identity. Down in Louisiana the supreme court holds that a quadroon is not Negro. In the District of Columbia an octo roon, having only half the Negro blood of the quadroon, is under the ban, being classed with those who can show no infusion whatever of the blood of those who make and interpret the definition. Now, will some Solomon tell us just where in the dickens we are? Not that there would be any doubt whatever in the mind of either court as to the racial status of the writer, but for the sake of our lighter hued brethren it would be pleasing to have a nation wide and nation binding decision on the question as to which of us are flesh and which of us are fish.

To the Statesman: Since the cessation of that remarkable serial, "The Beast in the Negro's Jungle," a short comment will perhaps be in order. It is certainly remarkable for its long, drawn-out, disconnected maudlin plaint. Also, for its choleric, obscure, and indeciprehable innuendoes. The colored citizens of the state and Denver have shown a patient forbearance to say the least. That is commendable. They have permitted this comingling of child-like prattlings and demented gibberings to "pass them by like the idle wnds which they respect not." There is no fair-minded thoughtful person who will deny that the colored people of Denver compare favorably with similar populations in the country. They are possessed with the short and long-comings like the rest of common humanity. If there is any thing peculiar in the social structure of the colored citizen of Denver, or a peculiar beast in the jungle, as O. T. J. would have us believe, it seems to be the general opinion that it is one of those grunting rooting beasts from a nearby mountain town, with an insatiable appetite and a slight regard for cleanly conduct. It is inconceivable to anyone with ordinary intelligence how he received a fairly good position without any claims to having merited it, and afterwards was taken up by some of the ministers and other good citizens and put at the head of a scheme of his own invention, and backed it to an extent with their money until they were forced to doubt his judgment or integrity, or both. When it is remembered that this would-be imitator of Judge Lindsey comes to us, whether true or false, with a reputation somewhat scarified and tattooed, and he himself has not denied it, it is certainly puzzling why he has the affrontery and unblushing boldness to attempt to beride and belittle those willing to condone, and mitigate his blunders of the past. I think of the times he has assumed to advise me as to the folly of wasting time on the interests of the colored people. He is beyond doubt the most treacherous enemy to the colored people that I THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. THE I LU U. S. A. ever met. He has said several times in his high-browed, wise-acred way, that it was silly for a negro to have any fixed political or moral principles. The thing to do is to get the money in his advice. So far as any impulse for his race is concerned, he lives in siberic realm, a gracerial sphere. In the present crisis we need men who will stand up and speak out for untrammeled citizenship, but the jibes and cheap insinuations of these lick-spittled propagandists are a blessing, for we know who they are. His handkerchief-headed, apron-trading ideas are a thing of the past. It is wise to shun the brandishments of such as he, for Their friendship's but a lurking snare, Their honor's but an idle breath, Their smiles the smiles that traitors wear, Their love is hate, their life is death. There is much more that could be said, but on account of our esteem for others, we abstain. C. W. BUFORD.

The purposes of the institution were the subject of an interesting paper read by George Vaux, Jr. The students sang several very pleasing old time melodies previous to Governor Stuart's address. The governor expressed his approval of the appearance of the building and the work on exhibit. "One of the greatest assets needed in this great commonwealth is good men and good women," said the governor, "and this institution will send young men and young women out into the world to make such in their own race." He referred to the Society of Friends in glowing terms as being the greatest friends to the Negro race. He told the students they were given greater opportunities at the present time than ever before and that, while they would receive but small salaries as teachers in the beginning, they would be amp.y paid for their efforts by the results accreditab Drawbacks From Internal Strife. The struggles of the Negro to make headway along any line of advancement except mental development is made the more difficult because of senseless strife from within his ranks as well as from the bitter opposition from without, says Editor Paul H. Bray of the Yonkers (N. Y.) Standard. Brethren, this ought not to be. It should be, You boost me and I boost you, and by so doing, Scripturally speaking, we shall heap coals of fire upon each other's head. --- Madam J. M.

Popular Organization of Young Men Winds Up With Splendid Reception to Parents of Members. The Virtuoso club of Brooklyn closed its meetings for the summer recently with what is known as "parents' night." The reception was held at the residence of O. J. Frazier and was largely attended. The club is composed of a dozen or more of Brooklyn's most amiable young men, who once a year entertain their parents at one of their social functions. The literary and musical program on this occasion was most creditable and revealed in no small degree the intelligence and high ideals of the members and those who volunteered their services. The address of welcome was delivered by the president, Mr. John W. Lynch, and the greetings of the club to parents and other invited guests were borne by the business manager, Mr. Arthur L. Comither. The following persons took part in the musical program: Miss Florence Curry. Mr. Joseph Holmes. Miss Sadie Cochran. Mr. Wellington A. Smith. Miss Alma Carr. Miss Ethel Liggins. Miss Mary Holmes. Mr. Charles Holmes and Addison S. Bailey. Dancing followed the literary program, and covers were laid for twenty-one persons, and a fine course supper was served by an experienced caterer. According to a recent decision handed down by Justice Dan T. Wright of Washington, one-sixteenth of Negro blood makes one a Negro in the District of Columbia. The case in question was that of Isabel J. Wall, the seven-year-old child of Stephen Wall, which will not be allowed to attend the school for white children in the District. In rendering his decision Justice Wright said: "It is to be concluded that the child is of Negro blood of one-eighth or one-sixteenth; that her racial status is that of a Negro. She is therefore colored according to the common meaning of the term." Honor For Harriet Beecher Stowe. In honor of the ninety-ninth anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe and in appreciation of her long and spirited career in the cause of freedom the Equal Suffrage league held special exercises in the parlors of the Carlton avenue branch of the Y.

It would not be true to human nature for a party or any considerable number of people to continue 40 years' endeavor on behalf of someone else when the same effort and time would make money for self. And so today, the Negro is left to hustle for himself. It is a trial long deferred, but one that had to come some day, and today is as good as any. Our one desire now is that the Republican party recognize that we still cast a considerable vote for it, that we are still an essential to its success in national elections, and sometimes in local and state elections, and as such an element of party strength, regardless of our color, we deserve consideration. Let Southern states rob us of our rights! Let lawless communities burn and slay us for unproven crimes! Such injustices are God's way of strengthening the weak, and weakening the strong! What we want is for the Republican party to take a strong grip on such Negroes in the day of triumph as it leaned upon in the day of trial. Let us, too, stand in the strong sunlight of victory! Let not the cry of Democracy that we are unworthy tempt our president and our party leaders to treat us as pariahs. Decks are Being Cleared for Next Election Congress is over. Beginning with the most difficult problem of the tariff, it continued amid a storm of regularity and insurgency. Among other things which it did were: Striking revision of the railroad laws, including the creation of a commerce court. Admitting Arizona and New Mexico as separate states. Authorizing the establishment of postal savings banks. Giving to the president unlimited authority to withdraw public lands for conservation purposes. Providing for publicity of campaign contributions. Authorizing the issue of $20,000,000 in certificates of indebtedness to complete reclamation projects. Creating a bureau of mines. Extending the activities of the tariff board and appropriating $250,000 for its use. Looking to the suppression of the "white slave" traffic. Creating a commission to consider economies in the administration of the federal government. While we have no great dissatisfaction with the work of Congress, the attitude of the party as a whole affects our votes on all officers. For this reason, notwithstanding we are proud of our party's work in Congress, we call the attention of party leaders to the necessity of giving Negro Republicans some real return for their party work. Most of all we would like beneficial legislation that would guarantee to us our rights of property and life. But the time for that has passed. Maybe it is better so. Yet fear of opposition opinion should not prevent us getting a square deal in purely party work. We deserve our "quid pro quo" and we believe our party thinks the better of us because we know our rights in that regard and are resolved to fight for them. Authorizing the entry of surface of coal lands. Providing a tariff system for the Philippines. Legislation that ultimately is expected to give prohibition to the Hawaiian islands. No Republican need be ashamed of his party with such a showing. True we have not done all we promised to do, not all that should be done. But so long as progress in morals and business is the rule of life, we may not hope to reach ideal government. The Republican party has succeeded in doing more toward real representative government, toward real reform than Democracy with its mouth full of profession and not one considerable commendable practice to its credit. It was Democratic votes united with equally selfish Republican votes that gave us the tariff measure, the one disappointing piece of legislation of the present Congress. The Republican party divides with Democracy the shame of this log-rolling. Then remember it was a Republican president that fought for the real spirit of our party platform as to tariff. ALAMOSA NEWS. Mrs. Jane Wright, of Paris, Texas, spent two weeks with her sons, Mack and Dudley Wright. Mr. J. N. Garrett passed through our city enroute to Columbus, Ohio, where his father is very ill. We are not expecting all this legislation to be perfect, but it is to be tried by experience and made perfect. With its record of efficiency the Republican party is more to be trusted to do this than is Democracy. This paper has severely criticized the president and the party for its desertion of the Negro. We have said that its indifference is the cause of the encroachment of Democrats upon our rights in the South and of the indifference to them here. Mrs. Dudley Wright died Tuesday, June 21, after a prolonged illness. The remains were sent to Paris, Tex., for burial. She leaves a mother, sister, husband, two small children, and a host of loving friends to mourn her loss. Mr. Alex Rose is filling D. Wright's position with the D. & R. G. while he is attending his wife's burial at Paris, Texas. We still think we tell the truth. But with it all we must in fairness say that the party is doing toward the Negro just what all America is doing. Money-madness is upon us. Every measure is tried by the one rule Messrs. Parsons and Anderson came up from Santa Fe with the ball team, playing in our city Sunday, losing to the Alamosa team. PAGE. 2 TEAMS.
