TO BATTLE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS National Political League Issues Call For Annual Meeting. LAW STRONGER THAN CUSTOM Crusade of Race Hate and Color Projecies Most Harmful and Portentous of Inhuman Acts—Train of Evils Let Lesss Upon Colored Americans. Taft Aide Nullifiers. The following call has been issued by the National Political League, which has members and branches in thirty states: To Colored Americans and Their Fellow Countrymen, Greetings: By vote of the executive committee and by order of the president this call of the National Independent (formerly Negro American) Political league is issued for the third annual meeting at Atlantic City, N. J., August 4 and 5, 1910. This national convention of colored citizens is called under somewhat grave conditions touching the object of this organization, the supreme aim of which is to maintain and secure for all colored Americans the same rights and privileges of citizenship as are enjoyed by the other citizens of these United States of America. In the southern states 95 per cent of the 9,000,000 colored citizens of the United States are deprived of the exercise of the ballot, the fundamental right under our system of government, without which there is for citizens neither protection nor freedom. This rape of the ballot is consummated in plain violation of the national constitution which forbids denial of the right to vote because of race or color. The executive head of the federal government within sixteen months officially admitted this disfranchisement in inaugural address and palliated the violation of the federal constitution instead of declaring his purpose to enforce the law in obedience to the cath be had just solemnly taken. President William H. Taft even intimated the legality of these devices for nullifying the fifteenth amendment by state laws which are as worse than fraudulent practices as law is stronger than custom. The legislative branch of the federal government, specifically clothed with sow- --- us for equality democracy. the truth the homeland of the fre ident.

The N out and has f do him no goo to enforce the suffrage articles of the constitution, has viewed with apathy and inaction their flagrant violation save when actively condoning it by seating congressmen elected under the violation as against contestants entitled to seats if the federal law had been obeyed in their districts in the south. The judicial branch has dodged the issue in all cases brought involving southern disfranchisement law thus by persistent refusal of relief strengthening the nullification and emboldening the nullifiers of the supreme law of the land. But what train of evils were let loose upon colored Americans with disfranchisement! In the southern states unequal and oppressive laws have destroyed all their civil rights, excluding them from public places of business, of accommodation or resort, even public parks and public libraries, barring from state, quasi-public and the public schools, forcing them into separate and inferior schools, fastening upon them the public ignominy and caste stigma of segregation in public travel, casting them even into prisonage. They are under the tyranny of taxation without representation. Left in that hapless and helpless condition of citizens without voice as to lawmaker, law enforcer or law interpreter, they are not only the victims of injustice in the courts, but, denied all trial by court or jury, are the prey of the flendish white mob, until now the almost daily lynching of human beings has disgraced our country before the civilized world. Most harmful and portentous of all in this crusade of race hate and color prejudice is the action, under the present administration, of the federal government itself. For the first time in the United States a president has officially proclaimed color a political disability. By his declaration that he would not appoint colored citizens to office where white citizens objected he completed southern disfranchisement. It is colored soldiers who are the victims when for the first time a battalion is discharged wholesale and without trial because of an alleged affray with civilians, and the new departure, aggravated by the failure to establish individual guilt after trial, is boldly continued. That unique degradation of free citizens, segregation by color in public carriers, has been sanctioned and nationalized. Unless one-eighth of the citizens of the United States are to be reduced to political serfdom, unless our republic is to abandon democracy for the caste of color, this present trend must be resolutely opposed. Colored Americans, rally to your own defense! From every town and city send delegates to this annual meeting, there to deliberate and organize for self protection against this menace. And let all true patriots of whatever 4 Nal goold State Historian ural History of citizenship, for true at this may be in very e of the brave and the e.

Marghurite Randall as Church Society and Concert Artist. For personal popularity as a singer Mime. Marghurite Randall of New York has a large following. She is a native of Washington. At an early age she manifested a fondness for music, which she clung to through her girlhood days, and finally she was led to make music her profession. One of the first persons outside of her own family circle to become interested in her musical education was an old civil war veteran, who was a much pleased with her singing that he volunteered to render her financial assistance. Her progress in music was very rapid both in the public and high schools. Her natural aptitude and experience to handle this was the admiration of her teachers, who took great interest in her. In the class room and in the examinations she always made the highest general average in her studies. She is a pupil of Professor Bischoff and also of Mme. Taylor of New York. Mme. Randall was for three years the leading alto in the Anbury Methodist Episcopal church choir in Washington. She was then made first soprano soloist in the same choir, which position she held until she made New York her permanent residence. Her press and pulpit testimonials are from some of the leading editors and clergymen of Washington. She is the possessor or a voice of rare sweetness, which has been heard by many cultured audiences. She was the leading soldier a few years ago for one of New York's select societies for two seasons at Saratoga, N. Y. Mine. Randall is now connected with the various organizations of St. Mark's M. M. church, New York, in the choir of which she is the leading soprano. Suffrage the fundamental right. As long as this country operates under its present constitution the Negro will hold office, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. He will take a healthy interest in politics because politics is the science of government. A truly helpful citizen must do his part in making his government all that it purports to be. Suffrage is the fundamental right upon which a democracy is based. Without the ballot no civic right is secure.

On Friday evening at 8 o'clock, July 1, another confirmation service was held at the church, when two candidates were confirmed by Bishop Chas. Olmsted of the Diocese of Colorado. The service was very impressive throughout, especially the sermon, and the charge of the candidates by the Bishop, who very touchingly expressed his delight in having found very helpful matter for his discourse in the candidates themselves; one being very advanced in years, and the other, being very young, just starting out on life's journey. The singing was up to the usual standard, and the choir was very much helped by Mrs. Lillian Jones and Miss Rhoda-Anderson. The anthem, "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes," by Elmer Jones, was beautifully rendered, the solo in it having added materially to the piece by the singing of Miss Senora Findley, our soloist. Vespers began last Sunday at 5 p. m., and in spite of the warm weather, there was a fair attendance of members and friends, who expressed their pleasure at being present, as this service consisted of a special musical program in addition to evening prayer. The following gives an idea of the program: Organ Prelude. Hymn....."Fight for the Good Faith" Vocal Solo....."God Be Merciful to Me" Anthem "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled" Hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers" Meditation Hymn "Sweet Saviour, Bless Us Ere We Go" Recessional "Sun of My God" The soloist for the evening was Miss Senora Findley, who was in fine form, and gave justice to the rendition of the piece, as she was listened to with rapt attention by the congregation. The choir also did their part efficiently. These special services will continue on the first Sunday afternoon of each month during the summer. All are given a cordial welcome to our church.

The Virtuoso club of Brooklyn is composed of a dozen or more young men who banded themselves together several years ago for literary and social purposes, in which it has had a successful career. Among the members are artists, musicians and mechanics. Their midwinter reception, which is usually given the second week in February, has been postponed this year to April 8 on account of Lent beginning before the date of the reception. All the social functions of the club are of a high order, and admission to them is strictly by invitation of the members. The forthcoming reception will be a full dress affair and will be held in one of the large halls, where every facility for the comfort and enjoyment of the club's guests may be had. An orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion, and an experienced caterer will serve the menu.

It is encouraging to note the number of young Afro-Americans who are bolding good paying positions by rea- son of special fitness. They are large- ly represented in the customs and postal service, and many are doing well as newspaper correspondents and magaxine writers. The number employed in various ca- pacities in the Chicago postoffice is said to be over 600. New York and Brooklyn also have a fair representa- tion, but nothing like what it should be. We have pointed out before the neceasity for our young men to take the civil service examinations because of the equality in salary for the same kind of labor. < Among the large and influential daily papers which have special Afro-Amer- fcan reporters are the Florida Times Union, the Pittsburg Press, the Louis- ville Courier-Journal, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the Brooklyn Standard Union and the Brooklyn Times. A large number of Afro-Americans are employed in the New York custom house and in the various departments of the municipal government. In- stances are rare outside of the govern- ment service where we are given the same pay for the same kind of work as the white man receives. - This, of course, is wrong, but the only remedy we have is to seek those Places where men are paid according to their work, whether they be white or black. Merit and efficiency should count for something. But notwith- standing the many drawbacks we are still making considerable progress. Again, we should not be afraid to make business ventures. Because Sam Jones failed in the grocery business is Bo teason why Elmer Davis should keep out of it If he bas the means and ability. 1 think most of our faflures come from the fact that we either start something which we know little or nothing about or we commence bus!- ness with Insufficient capital and fail before we get a good footing.

The interment of the body of the late Hon. Jos. H. Stuart, attorney-at-law of this city, took place Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, at Fairmount cemetery. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Thomas G. Brown, pastor of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, and the following persons were in attendance: Theophilus M. Stuart, Professor of English Literature at St. John's Seminary, Barbados, British West Indies, brother of the deceased; Messrs. Hewetson, Watson and Lawhorn. Professor Stuart was very much pleased with the undertaker's work, as he had the privileged opportunity of viewing the remains after a period of over three months in the vault, and hardly any signs of decomposition appeared, and therefore, expressed himself in a manner very creditable to the Lawhorn Undertaking establishment.

It is expected that the strike in the planing mills will have little effect on the work and Contractor Fitzpatrick is hopeful of having the building complete for occupancy this fall. Besides an assembly hall, there will be stores and club rooms. The resumption of work is due to the success of President H. B. Brown and his administration in financing the completion.

LONG LEGAL FIGHT RECALLED Grand Old Hero Who Championed Cause of Colored Men Twenty-five Years Ago Given Genuine Surprise. W. C. McCard Presents Resolutions on Behalf of Members of Local Bar. The Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, who initiated and led the fight which resulted in the supreme bench of Baltimore handing down a decision in March, 1885, giving to colored lawyers the right to practice law in Baltimore and the state, was surprised by a visit from a number of members of the local bar recently. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings was the spokesman and in a brief speech praised Dr. Johnson for his almost unaided labors in getting the barrier against colored lawyers removed. "Twenty-five years ago," said Mr. Cummings. "the laws of the state of Maryland prohibited the admission of a colored man to the legal profession. No matter how he may have been, the young, aspiring colored man was debarred from the labors, rewards and emoluments which the profession of the law holds out to those who are permitted to enter its ranks. "At this crucial period colored lawyers were needed, and needed badly. M. H. H. PARTIAL VIEW OF GROUP OF BALTIMORE LAWYERS, WITH DR. HARVEY JOHNSON IN CENTER. It was the moment of all moments when the doors should be thrown wide open to those who by training and inclination were willing to stand the required test for admission to the bar. "On the part of those who are the beneficiaries of your unselfish labors I take pleasure in presenting you this shield from the rain and storms (a handsome silk umbrella) as a slight token of our appreciation for your work in blazing the path for us." W. C. McCard read resolutions expressing the great appreciation of members of the local bar in having the way opened for them to practice their chosen professions THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Dr. Johnson in replying to the tributes told the lawyers that in the early eighties he suggested the idea of making a contest for the admission of colored men to the bar to Revs. W. M. Alexander, F. R. Williams, A. Brown, P. H. A. Braxton and J. C. Allen, the last two of whom are now dead. He told them that there would be no expense entailed upon them except what they voluntarily assumed. They told him, said Dr. Johnson, to go ahead, and he secured Attorney Alexander Hobbs to fight the case. The name of Charles S. Wilson, a teacher at Sunny Side, Md., and a graduate of the law school of Boston university, was used, and a favorable decision was at last got from the supreme bench, a decision which was directly the reverse of one which had been previously handed down by the court of appeals. "It gives me a distinct pleasure," said Dr. Johnson. "to see our own men practicing law in this state, and I must say that I have never employed a white lawyer since we have had our own. "I will keep this umbrella as a keepsake of your regard and value it more highly than if it had been a gift of great intrinsic value." Dr. Johnson concluded by saying that the Brotherhood of Liberty had nothing to do with the fight for the removal of the barrier, after which a photograph of the lawyers, with Dr. Johnson in the center of the group, was taken. Among those present were Messrs H. S. Cummings, W. T. McQuinn, John L. Dozier, W. Ashbie Hawkins, W. C. McCard, C. C. Fitzgerald, G. W. F. McMechen, R. G. J. Brown, William H. Daniels, G. L.

The occasion was the annual sermon of the organizations, which was preached by the Rev. Dr. W. H. H. Butler, who is himself a veteran of the civil war THE MAIN LESSON TO LEARN. Look to the Inside—Self Help Hope of the Race. The element of encouragement has without doubt taken a permanent seat within the breast of the colored man. Notwithstanding hostile legislation and unreasoning predudice and persecution he is everywhere keeping step to the rattling drumbeat of the march of progress, says the Dallas (Tex.) Express. The main lesson to learn now is to look to the inside. Self help is the hope of the race. Personal economy and individual morality are the factors which we must strive to cultivate. The leaders of the colored people, the preachers and schoolteachers, must not fail to impress the rising youth with the importance of self help. The pages of history are fairly ablaze with shining examples of men, nations and races who through the cultivation of this trait have risen from obscurity to greatness and usefulness. The record shows nobody barred. The line is unbroken. Wherever a man has looked up and tried to help himself in a legitimate way he has been able to show progress. Viewed from this standpoint, the doctrine of self help must of necessity be classed as man's saving salt. Miss M. COWDER. Hair Dressing PARLORS. Shampooing, cutting and curling.

A We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours with 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders.; were bald half way up my head. 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 "their is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPB. BANNER YEAR IN CHURCH WORK The Abyssinian Baptist Church Breaks Financial Record. Interest Quickened In Large and In- fluential New Yerk Congregation by Experienced Minister Who Knewe How to Handle Difficult Problems In Religious Affaire—8. R. Skerritt’s Successful Career. Nineteen hundred and nine was the banner year in the long history of the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York. Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell was called from New Haven, Conn., about eight- een months ago to this influential church. The congregation had been without a pastor about a year, and qe > £ A y bh. yf eee ay A a _ LS, L a ——eeeee & BR. SKERRITT. there were certain conditions which threatened to disrupt the organization, but under the grip of his determined mind and wide experience in handling religious affairs the contending fac- tions were almost immediately united and the church began te grow as it bed not grown in its history. It is now said that it has the largest morning congregations of any colored Baptist church in the north. It is a common occurrence to turn people away from the evening service for the lack of room. The clerk of the church, 8, R. Sker- itt, in his recent annual report says: “Pastor Powell is the right man in the right church and in the right city. This is not only the opinion of the overwhelming majority of our own members, but it is the opinion express- ed by preachers and laymen and even the unsaved throughout the city.” Mr. Skerritt'’s annual report shows that 258 members were added to the church during the past year, giving it a membership now of 2,003, and $19,064.73 was collected during the vear from all annreea. After meating THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. all expenses and paying $2,500 on the principal a balance of $3,100 was re- ported by the treasurer. e James A. Porte, Joseph Carter and J. W. Jackson were elected to serve for the next three years on the trustee board. Other officers elected were: W. H. Taylor, superintendent of the Sun- day school; C. H, Brown, treasurer; 8. R. Skerritt, church clerk; Attorney John P. Williams and Miss Dorothy Boyd, assistant clerks. Mr. Skerritt has been elected clerk for eighteen successive years and is one of the most popular and aggressive men among our people in New York. He is a photographer for Davis & San- ford, Fifth avenue, one of the largest art galleries in the United States. PRESBYTERIANS CONFER. Church Killing Pastors Not Wanted. Dwarfed Churches on Good Fields. New impetus was given religious work among Afro-American Presbyte- rians at a recent conference held in the Plane Street Presbytertan church, Newark, N, J. While the object of the conference was to consider the poxsibility and future of Presbyterianism among oui people in the state, the work of the ehurch throughout the ccuntry among our race was largely discussed. The conference considered. the state of New Jersey a most excellent field for the Presbyterian church and that the only possible hindrance to a strong and aggressive church throughout the state is the introduction of a class of ministers who lack energy, who do not mingle with the public and are cold and distant in their manner and relation to the people. One of the ministers said that there were some Presbyterian churches old enough to be great-grandmothers, fifty and sixty years old, which are still belag nursed and carried by the home missionary board of the church and that there were a number of stunted and dwarf- ed churches on good fields. “What is needed,” be continued, “is live, wide awake, aggressive ministers in charge. There ought to be some way to re move these church killing ministers from the field. They are doing the cause of Presbyterlanism among us a great injury.” There are, however, five large, self supporting churches of that denomina- tion among our people in New Jersey. Charies Arter’s New Invention. The success of Charles Arter, a young Afro-American of Pittsburg, is truly gratifying to his many friends. Mr. Arter has recently invented and patented a car shifting device which a number of prominent mechanical ex- perts declare is one of the most prac- tical ideas ever conceived. He is now in search of a promoter who will fur- nish the means for the construction of a working model for the new inven- tion. Cornerstone For New Church Laid. The laying of the cornerstone of the new A. M. E. church edifice at Belle- fonte, Pa., on Sunday, June 5, attract- ed a large gathering. Presiding Elder W. N. Anderson officiated.

Optimistic View of Race Progress as Been by Editor King. More and more as the days go by the colored man is turning to bimseif as bis own savior, says Editor W. E. King to the Dallas (Tex.) Express. Io the matter of iutelligence and economy the advancement of the man and broth- er is ‘most marked. Everywhere the broken dialect of the man of African Gescent is giving way and a language fairly intelligible is coming to take its place. The squalor, rags and poverty cou- pled with iInsanitary conditions every- where noticeable a few years ago in the abode of the American black man are disappearing, making room for more bealthfal and hopeful surround: ings. Taking it all in all, we are justi- fied in the conclusion that the colored brother ts stepping up, to the end that asa citizen be may make good. EGG HUNT Tart, i GLACIER LAKE Negroes Leaving Republican Party. Under the caption, “Negroes Flop- ping,” the Dallas Ta.) Express says: There is one humorous feature in the coming campaign in Tennessee. The Negroes, such of them as will get a chance to vote at all under the ballot restrictions of the state, will vote with the Patterson Democrats. They have forsaken their old party allegiance. “There will not be a hundred Ne- gtoes in Tennessee who will vote the Repnblican ticket this fall” said a prominent Tennesseean recently. “We have lost all our Negroes from the party just as we lost them from the farms after the émancipation.” }TERE’S THE DETAIL OF THE HYNT.
