FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTY-FIRST YEAR BAPTISTS SCORE INHUMAN LAWS Lessons From Georgia Strike and Maryland Politicians. MOB VIOLENCE RAMPANT. New England Baptist Missionary Convention In Statesmanlike Document Upholds Right and Condemn Wrong. Grateful For Many Favors—Matt Henson Remembered—Taft Net Forgotten. At the concluding session of the New England Baptist missionary convention recently held in New York the committee on state and country, made the following report which was unanimously adopted: We are grateful to the unerring hand that has brought us through another conventional year. We recognize every blessing of our land as a favor from him who giveth liberally to all and upbraideth none. We recognize in him the one Great Benefactor of our common country, more willing to bestow divine blessings than many are to receive. We look with interest and admiration upon the various religious movements in their efforts to spread the gospel to the poor and unenlightened of all nations and to make this a better world. The success of these efforts will shine forth with greater luster when men will lose sight of men, take the engrafted word of God and go forth indiscriminately to the saving of souls. The greatest hindrance to some of the movements is the lack of the true spirit of the "Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." May God pity the men of the world's sixth Sunday school convention held at Washington recently, the boasted capital of the greatest government, who had more race prejudice than religion. They are unworthy the name of Christians and their lives not exemplary of the good news and glad tidings, but of hypocrisy. We are told that twenty-seven countries and fifty-three religious denominations were represented last year at Rome without any disgraceful exhibitions of race hatred, but here where we delight to sing of religious tolerance the drawing of the color line was the supreme purpose of many who had to do with its program at Washington. Men who harbor race prejudice in their hearts have not the religion of the Prince of Peace. The manly action of the good people of Maryland in defeating the proposed disfranchisement law is gratifying to the best citizens of the country. Only cowards are unwilling to meet the colored man on his merit. Let the fake preachers of superiority change their doctrine to the survival of the fittest. The result of the strike of the Georgia railroad was one of farreaching effect. There the white firemen, like the white politicians, wanted their color to promote them. While they had the mob DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1910 spirit behind them, the management of the road stood out for efficiency and long service. Thus the road has taught one lesson of square deal even in Georgia. May God be merciful with the ministers of the gospel who have been silent while men and women have been lynched, chopped up for souvenirs, shot down like birds, burned at the stake, denied their God given and civil rights and humiliated in inconceivable shame, yet go into convulsions over the proposed fight of two free privileged characters! Truly it is time to have a revival for preachers. The discovery of the north pole gives the world a new map and changes the history of nations. We give God the praise that it was his will that a member of the colored race should stand, as it were, on Pisga's height with the proud Caucasian and unveil the hidden mystery of 4,000 years. We deprecate the conspiracy of silence on the part of the press of the north respecting the race question. We regret that it is silent when we speak, but never silent when others speak against us. It has been observed that it can champion every cause in the land except the colored man's. We speak generally, for we recognize with grateful hearts the favorable way in which some few of the great journals have so nobly served us. We pray that lynching will be made a national crime, for so long as wild men will be permitted to roam at will with ropes, shot and torch, so long will a cloud of national shame hang over the government. It is known that almost all of the lynched are members of the colored race, and in many instances the color of their skin is their only crime. It is also known that in the section of the country where almost all this barbarous and un-Christian practice is loved and cherished the colored people have no voice at the courts of mercy. We also call attention to the inhuman jimcrow system. Of all the wrongs of all free countries of history jimcrow car laws are the most inhuman. The interstate commerce commission fights discrimination against freight and cattle, but not against the colored race. On any road in the south one can see trains with several well aired and cleanly kept coaches for white passengers, while the colored are packed away in part of one coach with sanitary conditions indescribable. A colored mother can travel three days and nights without provision for eating or sleeping. We regret that the president's disposition to the colored race has been so imminal to its best interests. Not being satisfied with the awful blow at the race in his inaugural address, not being contented at safeguarding his cabinet with southern anti-Negro sentiment, the president went south and served us wickedly. His policy of driving the race from its constitutional rights seems more akin to Hoke Smith, Tilliman, Vardaman, etc., than to blood of abolitionist fathers. To spit in a man's face after he votes for you is much worse than being charged for board by a host who invited you to make a friendly call. It may well be said that the present occupant of the White House so far has proved the worst enemy the race ever had there. He smiles at those who strove for his defeat and frowns at those who strove for his success. Respectfully submitted, committee on state of country, Rev. W. B. Johnson, chairman, Washington; Rev. W. B. Reed, secretary, Newport. "We believe that it is essential to have a keen mind, to be an acute critic, but with the common sense to rid ourselves of the formalities which generally go with such qualities.

Next year the meeting will be in Pueblo. The most important legislation was the adoption of a plan to institute a state endowment department through an assessment beginning now. Also a constitution and by-laws are to be prepared. The session closed Thursday night with the exemplification of the degrees by the degree team of Pleasant Home Lodge, the lodge of Colorado Springs which is the best in this section. CHAPLAIN GLADDEN This announcement appeared in the Army and Navy Journal last week: "Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Walker of Hudson, Kans., announce the engagement of their daughter, Adelaide L., to Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden, U. S. Army, now stationed at Madison Barracks, New York, with the Twenty-fourth Infantry. The wedding to take place at their home sometime in the fall." Chaplain Gladden was during the month of March on an examination board at Fort Oglehorpe, Georgia. This is the first time that a chaplain has received and been appointed on such a board. Also the new chaplain for the Tenth Cavalry has been sent to Madison Barracks, to receive instruction in the customs and ways of the service. He has been placed under the special care of Chaplain Gladden for this purpose. Pittsburg Will Greet Noted Singer. The most interesting coming event for Pittsburg music lovers will be a song recital at the Warren Methodist Episcopal church on Tuesday evening, July 19. The attraction on this occasion will be the appearance of Mine. E. Exalia Hackley, who has already won fame at home and abroad. Pittsburg will turn out en masse to greet this great singer. She will receive the finest ovation of her life. --- ORDER OF ELKS AGAIN UNITED Grand Lodge Convention In Washington Peaceful. BOTH FACTIONS SATISFIED. Consolidation of the Two Principal Divisions of the Order Witnessed by Thousands at Grand Lodge Session In Washington - Parade Led by Grand Marshal J. Clay Smith. Thousands of members of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and their friends are in attendance at the grand lodge convention, which began a four days' meeting in Washington on Tuesday, July 26. Benjamin L. Gaskin, the brilliant young attorney, is chairman of the local committee of arrangements. The other members of the committee are Thomas F. Harper, vice chairman; J. Clay Smith, secretary; R. E. Smoot, assistant secretary; Moses H. Dade, treasurer; John T. Rhine, E. F. Janifer, Samuel E. Drew, Simon H. Brooks, William Freeman, F. G. Payne, THE MEN GASKINS, SMITH AND DADE-OFFICERS OF LOCAL COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS. J. H. Anderson, Dr. H. J. Williams, Joseph D. Lawson, A. B. Rice, Jeremiah Rice and R. H. Johnson. Chairman Gaskins and his colleagues are being congratulated on every hand for the splendid manner in which they are entertaining the visitors. The session is a notable one, as it marks the end of the differences which have kept the two factions of the order apart for several years. The harmonious state of affairs was amply attested from the fact that the two local lodges of the order, Morning Star and Columbia, had become reconciled before the convention met and are working as one with the joint local committee. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO The peace terms providing for the consolidation of the two grand lodges were agreed upon at a conference between representatives of both factions at Wilmington, Del., last January. The business sessions are being held at Tone Reformers' hall, and the fraternal spirit of "Hello, Bill," is everywhere manifested. The convention was called to order Tuesday at 11 a. m. by Chairman Gaskins, who made a felicitous address of welcome. Other addresses were delivered by the Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the United States treasury; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy; Judge Robert H. Terrell, Rev. Dr. Matthew W. Clair and Dr. William E. Tindell, secretary to the District board of commissioners. Responses were made by Dr. James E. Mills of Norfolk, Va., formerly grand exalted ruler; Dr. W. E. Atkins and Attorney J. Frank Wheaton of New York. The Elks glee club furnished the music. The parade of the visiting and local "Hello Bills" was witnessed by thousands as the various delegations marched through the principal streets of the nation's capital. J. Clay Smith, a retired soldier, was grand marshal in chief. The grand lodge got down to business Wednesday morning. After a number of candidates had received the grand lodge degree the peace agreement was formally ratified and the general routine of work was taken up. Trips down the Potomac and other diversions helped to make the stay of the hordes of visiting antlers pleasant. While the dance proposition is always a financial success, few stop to consider that they are educating the feet at the expense of the head, says the Oakland (Cal.) Sunshine. Time sown in an idle pastime brings no results, and there comes a time in every man's life when he reckons with himself for an accounting for time spent in this world of conquests. Disheartening would be the report of one who has never accomplished anything or made something in this world better for his having lived. Think of it! Elks' Convention to Be Notable Affair. Interest in the annual convention of the Order of Elks to be held in Washington for four days beginning on Tuesday, July 26, runs high. Members of the order throughout the United States are expected to be in attendance. Since the consolidation of the two factions is an assured fact it is estimated that thousands of persons will go to Washington to witness the meeting between Messers. Atkins and Mills, the two principals in the great controversy which is at last about to be finally concluded. World's Missionary Conference. About twenty representative pastors who are members of the national Baptist convention have registered as delegates to the world's missionary conference to be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, beginning June 15. No meeting, says Secretary L. G. Jordan of the Baptist foreign mission board, since the days of the apostles will mean so much to the cause of missions as that great conference. For ten days men and women from every part of our world will plan and pray for the coming of his kingdom.

JOCKEY WILSON HURT BY FALL. Fred Wilson, the colored jockey of Lexington, Ky., was thrown last Tuesday afternoon in the third race at Cheyenne, Wyo. It was nothing more than a bad bump and a good shapeup. Will be ready to ride again in a couple of weeks. THE JESSIE STONE HOP. Jessie Stone, one of Denver's amateur comedians will give one of the swellest afternoon hops of the season at Dania hall, Aug. 13th. There will also be a grand prize for the lady and gentleman appearing in the neatest shirtwaist. AT THE R. M. A. CLUB. Kid Red, of Arapahoe street vicinity, lost in the fifth round last Thursday night to the unknown. It was one of the best sparring bouts ever pulled off in the Gym. of the R. M. A. club. Last Saturday night the club rooms were filled to the utmost, everybody in attendance to the big Prize Ragtime Piano contest. There were four contestants, everyone playing his best. George Hickman, the kid, slipped in and stole all of the money by a nose. George certainly did play some rags. We heard from Young Gans the other day, the clever colored lightweight boxer of Denver. Gans broke his left hand in his recent fight with Kid Ross in the eighth round and then fought him twenty rounds to a draw. He is matched to fight Cyclone Thompson Labor Day at Pocatello, Idaho, when they are both in training. Gans sends regards to all of the boys in Denver and says he hopes soon to have his name in every newspaper in the country as the champion of lightweights. LANGFORD AND BURNS. Sam Langford and Tommy Burns PAGE. 12 YOUNG GANS. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. are matched to fight Labor day, according to the latest dope. It appears at times as if Tommy would gladly side step Sam if there was any possible way of doing so but Sam has got so much bull dog stay ability about him, that they can't very well overlook his "I can lick any man in the world talk." And the public will make Burns, Kaufman and Ketchell all look to Langford before very long. $25,000 BELT FOR JOHNSON. Was ever a king or any other one man made such a fuss over as one negro heavyweight champion of the world, Jack Johnson. Baron Wilkins, the noted negro sport and moneyking of New York, and great friend of Jack Johnson is getting up subscriptions for the negro's throughout the country to present the king of the ring with a diamond studded belt to cost $25.000. The belt will be of solid gold studded with 200 diamonds of different sizes. The biggest of the stones will weigh four carats. THE CHICAGO MOTTS THEATRE. Col. Robt. T. Motts, proprietor of the Pekin Motts' theatre, is certainly doing things up fine. He is putting on seven and eight different acts on a week's bill and playing to capacity houses all the time. Most all of the negro actresses and actors are summering in Chicago and it is no hard matter for the managers of the colored theaters of that city to get the very best of colored acts, some of the houses are paying as much as $300 per week for a single act. I guess Chicago is not so bad for the negro actor. TURNER AND McFARLAND TO MEET. Rufe Turner, the old time colored lightweight, has been matched to box Kid McFarland in Chicago for thirty-five rounds private, some time bettween August 14 and 18. Rufe Turner used to be one of the best lightweights in the business. He is 41 years old and is still good enough to go 35 rounds. Turner says he feels as good taday as he did the first day he ever donned a glove some 22 or 23 years ago. COLORED BOXERS ARE BARRED The whole state of Tennessee will bar negroes from participating in prize fighting with any white man. ALL OF THE BIG PUGS GOING ABROAD. All on the account of Johnson winning over Jeffries, the state and city officials throughout the country have barred the fight game, and everything is dead. Now the boys are off for smoky London and gay sunny France where they can fight themselves to death. Those who are soon to leave will be Jack Johnson, Samuel Langford, Joe Jennette, Stanley Ketchell, Tommy Burns, Packy McFarland, Al. Kubick, Charley Hitte, Ad. Wolgast, Harry Lewis and Willie Lewis. They all expect to take the same steamer. I wonder if one Jim Jeffries wouldn't like to take the trip with the boys. JOHNNY MOORE IS ILL. One of Denver's old timers is back again, and ever welcome is he. Mr. Johnny Moore, former business man of this city, who has been away for a year or two in Ogden where he was also in business, but misfortune has overtaken him with sickness on the account of a nervous breakdown and he will probably have to be confined at his home 2937 Glenarm for two or three weeks. It is hoped however that he will soon be able to get about the same as of old as he is a man whose friendship everybody puts great value in. KID BRUCE. The clever colored lightweight who would meet Mugsy Shoels in a twenty round battle anywhere at any time is training at the R. M. A. club. Laury Jackson, his trainer, is also a very fast and clever boy. They will give a sparring exhibition at the club tonight. Come down and look him over. At the Central Baptist, Tuesday, Aug. 2nd, there will be a stereopticon view picture entertainment by the Rev. Chas. H. Pope of Washington, D. C. Admission 20c. Proceeds for the church. Dr. E. E. Edwards, pastor. CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. Mrs. Wm. Redd, who was severely injured in a runaway July 4th, is improving in health.

Mr. James Smith has been on the sick list for the past week, but is recovering at this writing. Miss Hattie Ingram of Atchison, Kans., is spending her summer vacation here at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. E. Brown. Miss Ingram will resume her teaching in Oklohamo in September. The Young Ladies' Literary and Art Club are planning a very enjoyable entertainment to be given in the near future. The affair will be a Japanese social. Quarterly meetings services were well attended last Sunday. Rev. Proileau of the Ninth Cavalry delivered a most interesting discourse at the morning service. In the afternoon Rev. Washington preached the sacrament sermon. Rev. Washington delivered himself in his usual encouraging manner at the evening session, and throughout the day the services were inspiring and uplifting. Sunday School at the A. M. E. church convenes at 9:30 and is well attended. The correspondent has been a little under the weather, occasioned by the intense heat and bad weather, consequently news writing is an effort. Mrs. Sergeant Warren has gone to California to spend a few weeks. She was accompanied by her little daughter, Jennnie. Captain and Mrs. Chas. Young and Chaplain and Mrs. Proileau have returned from the East, where they have been spending several pleasant weeks. GUNNISON, COLO.

(Special to the Denver Statesman.) I have for some time been a silent observer of conditions as they exist upon the elsthmus, especially those conditions that surround the negro laborer in the zone controlled by the United States through the Isthmian Canal Commission. Allow me to preface this article by saying that the native negro of the states has shown his good horse sense by not taking heed to the alluring blandishments held out to him. So it is a very rare thing to find a black American laboring on the zone. Jamaicans and West Indian natives form the major part of the vast army that is digging the bi gditch for Uncle Samuel, and from all observation they make very efficient laborers, even if there is a discrimination in their pay. I noticed an "Aviso" or proclamation posted at the Panama railway docks at La Boca, which is the western terminal for the canal, concerning the pay for overtime. It reads like this: On and after a certain date all Americans in the employ of the Panama Railway Company will receive 25 cents per hour (gold) over and above the eight hours per day." Now, others will receive 20 cents, "Balboa" or silver, for work over and above a day of ten hours. When you take into account the fact that there is practically no negro Americans, the rule affects the black Jamaican, who has to work ten hours to constitute a day and is paid with money whose purchasing power is one-half that of the man whose days work constitutes eight hours. The sanitary conditions are very good and are being perfected under the strict and sometimes severe regulations that exist. Even in that regulation I have seen examples of the color-phobia that has been introduced by the American's invasion. I have seen a poor Jamaican laborer hauled up and fined because he allowed his wheel barrow to collect water. During the season of rain it is a strict regulation to avoid the stagnation of water. This fellow did not turn his barrow upside down and it collected water. Shortly after the rain an inspector came along, espied the water in the barrow and arrested the offender. There would have been no particular objection to that if the same inspector had not went a little farther up the road and espied a barbage can whose owner had forgotten to put on the top and it had also collected water. He did not arrest and fine the culprit; he warned him. One was black, the other—well—a different color. They have some negro men doing police duty. But they dare not arrest any but negro offenders. For example: Going up on a local train that runs between La Boca and Panama, I witnessed two white men engaged in a fight. There was a negro policeman on the train, and he sought to separate the combatants, when one of them wheeled, stopped fighting his opponent and struck the negro policeman in the face with the remark that no D——nigger should place his hands on a white man, and the fighters went away unmolested. Yet a white policeman can—and does—arrest indiscriminately. It would be supposed that if a black officer THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. saw a white man committing the most hienous crime he would have to hunt u pa white officer to make the arrest. He dare not, for fear of losing his khaki suit and club, along with his pay. Dr. Carlos A. Mendoza, a most capable and worthy gentleman, whose patriotism and loyalty to Panamanian progress is unquestioned, has been elected to the presidency of the republic. His election has caused a great amount of dissatisfaction among a certain element who are spreading unjust and untruthful criticisms throughout the United States. Dr. Mendoza is an educated gentleman, a native of Panama, and a black man. His criticisers are recent arrivals looking for fortune, adventurers from the United States, who hate the idea of seeing a man of color occupying the highest office within the gift of the little republic, and they are using all of their powers of vilification to discredit him. But his adherents recognize his ability and loyalty. I accompanied a party of gentlemen over to the great Culebra cut. Among the party was Thomas F. B. Davis, Esq., editor and publisher of the Chronicle, a tri-weekly. Editor Davis has felt the "iron hand." He was arrested and jailed on the Zone because he dared to criticize some of the high-handed methods of some of the "travesties" that the government has sent down here to govern (?) its latest acquisition. Editor Davis is loyal to his race and they appreciate it by giving him their support. It is needless to say that the Chronicle is not welcomed on the Zone and the Negro laborers are discouraged by the "powers that be," from reading it, but they do. I hope to stand upon the same spot and witness the great ships as they slowly steam through. They will look like toy vessels upon a ribbon of silver. The great steam dredges that tear up the earth and rock by the hundred tons look like big burrowing insects when viewed from the summit and the puffing, straining trains, like childrens toys. It is magnificent iin its very stupendousness. There are a number of Negro engine drivers, but they are not allowed to drive express trains. Nothing but freight and some work trains, although there is no question as to their ability. There is also a different scale of wages for them. Nicaragua is still in the throes of a revolution, although quite contrary to reports circulated through the states, the government, which is represented by Doctor Senor Jose Madriz, is practically in control of the disputed territory. One was quite at a loss to understand why so many Americans were in the ranks of the revolutionists until we remembered that at one time the Nicaraguan route was seriously thought of for a water way from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Can Uucle Samuel have some motive? It is past history that he inspired one revolution. F. Johnson, Esq., formerly consul to the Republic of Columbia, is representing the United States in like capacity at Corinto, Nicaragua. We met Consul Johnson on our way to Managua. He is well thought of by the officials of the Nicaraguan Republic and is likewise a credit to the Negro American, and the government REV. T. L.

Of one thing I am fully convinced, that is that the apening of the Panama water way will be of vast benefit to the Negro land owners of the southern and Gulf states. And I would advise every man who tills the soil to hold on to that which he has and strive for more. And I trust that every Afro-American journal will encourage it. For after all the United States is the home of the black Ameriuan, her traditions are his, and he will sink or swim with her. Booker T.

Marrison.) Well may thy servants mourn my W. C. WILLIAMS. Pastor But now a sad reverse we see, Her glory is departed. Her pastors love to live at ease; They covet wealth and honor. And while they seek such things as these The ybring reproach upon her. Such worthless objects they pursue, Warmly and undiverted. The church they lead and ruin, too— Her glory is departed. Her private members walk no more As Jesus Christ has taught them. Riches and fashion they adore— With these the world has bought them. The Christian name they still retain, Absurdly and false-hearted; And while they in the church remain Her glory is departed. And has religion left the church, Without a truce behind her? Where shall I go, Where shall I search, That I once more may find her? Adieu! Ye proud, ye light and gay! I'll seek the broken hearted. Who weep, when they of Zion say Her glory is departed. Some few like Good Elijah stand, While thousands have revolted. In earnest for the heavenly land, They never yet have halted. With such, religion doth remain, For they are not perverted; Oh! May they all through them regain, The glory that's departed. PAGE 13. PAGE.14 M. W. GRAND LODGE A. F. & A. M. For Colorado and Jurisdiction, meets in Pueblo in August, 1910. P. H.

It is now asserted that the pulpit of the south is lining up with the newspapers of that section which are preaching the doctrine of a new south. Well, the south can stand a pretty good shedding of old bark before it takes on new skin. Let us hope that its new birth may be healthful and that as it gradually grows into the spirit of civilization and fairness it may become prosperous. When it does finally come into the kingdom of law and order humanity the world over will breathe a sigh of relief. --- L. B.

Organization Which Started Fourteen Years Ago In a Small Way Has Be- come Most Influential Body of Club- women of Our Race—Lifting as We Climb Their Motto. Perhaps no event in organized work among the women of our race, either secular or religious, within recent years has attracted such widespread interest as was manifested in the re- cent seventh biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Wo- men’s Clubs held for five days at Louis- ville, Ky. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Louisville City Federa- tion of Clubs at the Colored Methodist Episcopal church. Miss Elizabeth ©. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., is the national president. The national asso- elation is the most influential gather- ing among colored women in the United States and has an enrollment of more than a thousand clubs, The membership is about 150,000. The association wields a great influence upon the moral uplift through the club and home life of the colored people in this country. A liberal proportion of the clubs belonging to the national were represented at this meeting. National meetings have been held since its organization fourteen years ago in such cities as Nashville, Chi- cago, Buffalo, St. Louis, Detroit and Brooklyn. At the preliminary mass meeting held at the Fifth Baptist church, Louisville, interesting speeches were made by Mesdames Booker T. Washington, Lucy Thurman, Eva Jenifer, Ida B. Wells Barnett, Ida Joyce Jackson, Mme. E. Azalia Hack- tey and others. The regular session opened with a meeting of the executive board pre- sided over by Mrs. Ione B. Gibbs of Minnesota. The deliberations of the board for the most part were the con- sideration of the matter of member- ship to the executive committee, The welcome address on behalf of the city federation was made by Mrs. M. E. Steward, chairman of the social committee of arrangements. The bien- nial address by Miss Blizabeth B. Car- ter, national president, was highly In- teresting. + A symposium on “Children” by Mrs. Ida Nugent Paley of Norfolk, Va., and “Playgrounds,” by Mrs. Victoria Clay- Haley of St. Louls, who is a member of the board of managers of the State Industrial Home For Negro Girls, were very interesting. “Mother’s Responsibility In the So- cial Life of Her Child,” by Miss Jose- phine E. Holmes of Wiley university; “The Mother’s Responsibility In the Intemperance of Her Boys” and sev- eral excellent talks by delegates from various parts of the country brought an animated discussion.

At the sessions held in the city ar- mory a symposium on “Health and Hy- giene” was the principal feature of the program. Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, who is regarded as the leading concert sing- er of the race, gave several musical selections. There was a noticeable absence this year of several women high in the as- sociation councils who were prevented from attending by unavoidable causes, among whom were Mesdames Mary Church Terrell, B. K. Bruce, Hallie Q. Brown, J. S. Yates and Libbie C. Anthony. The election of officers resulted as follows: Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, president, New Bedford, Mass, re-elect- ed; Mrs. Booker T, Washington of Tus- kegee, Ala., vice president; Mrs. M. B. Steward of Louisville, Ky., first re- cording secretary; Mrs. M. F.

New Honor For Douglass Miller. There is only one colored baker in the city of Denver, says the Denver Statesman. He ts Douglass Miller, and he is a member of the Bakers’ union. To the gratification of his friends and to his own honor Mr. Mil- ler was recently chosen treasurer of the union, winning out over oppost- tion. It is a compliment to Mr. Miller to be so well esteemed. SELF RELIANCE NEGRO’S HOPE a al el tia ing | eR ete Oia ae Mi eR SS a ae ed Says Judge Pritchard. The principal speaker at the opening session of the summer school and Chau- tauqua of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. ©., re- cently was Judge Jeter ©. Pritchard. In the course of his address the speak- er said: “The colored man is a citizen of the country, and, while he enjoys all the rights and immunities of citizenship, he must rely upon himself if he would accomplish the best things in our citt- zenship. “Tam thankful to say that there has never been a time since emancipation when a majority of the white people of the south was not friendly to the Negro so far as his welfare as a citi- zen Was concerned.” Judge Pritchard said there was less racial antagonism in the rural districts. His confident belie? was that no class of men was being better treated than the farmers, and he declared that mi- gration back to the farm would elim!- nate much of the criminal element found in both races. Jeffries Wants to Be Let Alone.

A triumph for law and order, moral decency and friendly relations between the white and colored citizens of Boston has been scored as the result of a series of strong protests by white and colored citizens against Thomas Dixon's infamous race play, "The Clansman." At the conference before Mayor John F. Fitzgerald held on Wednesday, July 20, the manager of the theater, Lindsay Morrison, agreed to voluntarily withdraw the play because of the protest of the colored citizens especially and at the request of Mayor Fitzgerald. The colored citizens were represented by W. Monroe Trotter, editor of the C MAYOR J. P. FITZGERALD. Boston Guardian; Rev. S. A. Brown, J. A. Crawford, James H. Wolff, Rev. S. J. Comfort, Rev. J. W. Hill and C. H. Plummer. The police commissioner, Stephen O'Meara, sent the mayor a letter urging him for the good of the city and to forestall race trouble to exert his power as license dispenser to have the play stopped. The affair has created widespread interest throughout the country on account of the great controversy over the production of the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures which pale into insignificance alongside of the rancorous race prejudice, engendered by the gratesque scenes in Tom Dixon's "Clansman." As a race we appreciate Mayor Fitzgerald's firm stand for law and order and extend thanks to the committee headed by W. Monroe Trotter, the fearless champion of the manhood rights of our race. Let us all hold up his hands in the great fight which he is making for the race along all lines. Whitfield McKinlay's Good Fortune. Whitfield McKinlay, local real estate dealer and one of the leading men of Washington, has been appointed by the president as collector of the port at Georgetown. Mr. McKinlay is a native of Charleston, S. C. He was educated at the Avery institute, Charleston; the South Carolina university and at the Iowa college at Grinnell, Ia. THE STATESMAN. DENVER COLORADO. ATLANTIC CITY MEETING OF POLITICAL LEAGUE. Organization of National Scope Needed Among Colored Americans. The coming third annual meeting of the National Political league, to be held at Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 4 and 5, promises to be one of interest and fruitful results. While many may differ as to the best methods to pursue in order to secure proper political recognition, no one should doubt the advisability and the importance of maintaining such an organization of national scope among us. Those who think differently on such matters should come into the organization and help to make it what they think it ought to be. The league can be made a strong lever with which to pry open the door and make a clear passageway for the enfranchisement of our people in the United States. Its platform is broad, and it is conducted by men of considerable experience in politics and, above all, men who have shown by their acts their devotion to the best interests of the race as they see it. We cannot hope to accomplish anything of lasting benefit so long as we are divided upon the very essentials by which we should and can rise. To stand off and criticise without offering a remedy is suicidal. Let there be concerted action all along the line upon the things which tend to give strength and influence to a given cause, and the time will soon come that our cause must go marching on. The Atlantic City meeting of the National Political league will be largely attended, judging from present indications. There it should be decided what course is best to pursue in the matter of the support which we believe the race should give to men and measures of whatever political faith. We must get together and make a strong demand for our manhood rights or we will never get them. Public sentiment points to the elevation of the masses through individual effort. The list of speakers includes such well known men as Bishop Alexander Walters, New York; W. Bishop Johnson, Washington; W. English Walling, Esq., New York; Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom, New York; Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron, Washington; Rev. L. G. Jordan, Louisville, Ky.; Professor R. R. Wright, Jr., Philadelphia; Rev. J. E. Churchman, F. L. McGhee, St. Paul, Minn.; Editor E. C.

Perkins, 4630 West Thirty-fifth Ave., Den- ver, Colo. Dear Madam—I have been using your hair treatment for four months, and I must say it is wonderful. My hair was so short I could hardly pinch it up wher I began using it, and in one week’s time I could see an im- provement. I have used many things on my hair to make it grow, but none ever did the good yours has. I can without exaggeration say this is the most wonderful tonic I have ever used. My hair has grown wonderfully since I started to use it, and I must say I am highly pleased with the method of treatment, and I can and will gladly recommend you to any one wanting their hair to grow. Any one wishing to know more about this won- derful treatment and its growing qual- ities can write or call at my address, 1858 North Clark street, Chicago, Ill. MRS. M. KINDRECK. Santa Monica, Cal., Jan. 14, 1908. Dear Mrs. Perkins:—How much I wished I had known you years ago and taken your treatment for the hair. I would have had better hair today if I had. In the few months I have used your treatment there is such a decid- ed change in my hair and scalp. This is the best treatment I ever used or heard of before and if your customers would tell the truth they will say the same. I intend to use it as long as I am able to buy it. I wish more of our women knew of your work and would take your treatment. Yours truly, MRS. ROSANA JACKSON, 1818 4th St. WOMEN, STOP, WAIT, LISTEN, READ “If a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her.” 1 Cor, 11:15. Every Woman Can Have That Glory If She Wishes It. This is for you.

According to those who knew her, Mrs. Diana Long, whose death occurred in Chicago the latter part of May, was the city's oldest inhabitant. Her immediate relatives say that Mrs. Long was born in March, 1790, at Baltimore. She served the well known King family at Linden, Ala., before the war for more than half a century and about twenty-one years after freedom came. Mrs. Long enjoyed excellent health up to 1908, when she began to decline, but her faculties were good, and she was quite active until shortly before her death. SCOTT' CHAPEL NOTES. The Rev. R. Davis, pastor of Centennial M. E. church, Kansas City, Mo., was with us last Sunday evening and delivered one of his strong messages which held the audience with wrap attention from beginning to end. Rev. Davis is in these parts spending a much needed vacation with friends in Denver and Colorado Springs. He left Wednesday for the Springs where he will be entertained by Mr. Frank J. Loper, one of the leading citizens of that "burg." Mr. Cornelius Rice is destined to become one of the great baritone singers of the race, if he keeps up the gait that he is going. He rendered a splendid solo last Sunday evening during the services. We advise the young man to take a special course THE STATESMAN. DENVER. I. M.

The Sabbath school under the leadership of Mr. G. W. Anderson will picnic today at Luna Park. The management sent a special invitation to the Sunday schools o fthe city to take a part of the great "kinderfest." The pastor will preach both morning and evening. A special message will be delivered to the non-Christians Sunday evening. You should hear this message. Prof. Patterson of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, delivered a crisp and sparkling address of "Essentials of Education" before an appreciative audience of the Epworth League last Sunday evening. Prof. Patterson is a living representative of what training will do for one who has something in him to draw out. A storm struck the parsonage recently and blew the tops from the flour bin, sugar receptable, and the door from the larder. When the debris had cleared away the dining room table was groaning under the burden of many good things for the physical man. Little Thomas and Wendell were seen jumping around the table in happiness and glee and asking many questions about the good things left for them. The pastor and the queen of the parsonage wore a "smile that would not come off" and were profuse in their thanks and appreciation for this generosity. Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Clinkscale were th eleaders of this storm party. We invite the storm to blow over this way again. The Epworth League topic for Sunday evening is: "The Life Hereafter." (I Corinthians 15:53; I John 3:2). These discussions are helpful in every way for the development of the spiritual life a swell as contributing to ones literary advancement. Here is the opportunity to the young graduate or ambitious young people who expect to enter a public career. The prayer and class meeting is helpful in every way. Good results are coming from those who personally invite people who are unsaved to the mid-week meetings. Twenty-six were invited last week and impressed with the necessity of making a decision to lead the higher life. All Christians and non-Christians are invited. The Sunday services will begin promptly and let out promptly. You will not experience any tedium in worshipping with us. All who enter our doors are made to feel welcome. ZION CHURCH. A very commendable hot weather congregation greeted the pastor last Sunday morning. The Lord made his appearance at the very beginning of the service and continued through to its very close. The subject was "The Conditions of Discipleship," and was thoroughly enjoyed by the people. Two were added to the membership of the church. The service rendered by the choir was indeed inspirational, especially the solos rendered by Brother Russell and Sister Carter. The choir is also to be commended for its splen- ```markdown ``` THE CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER MEN AND WOMEN JOINTLY WILL GIVE AN OUTING Thursday, August 11, 1910 AT JEFFERSON PARK did attendance. Almost the entire number was present at each service. The evening service also was very enjoyable while the attendance was up to the average. These hot nights our evening meetings are short which should especially commend them to everybody. An hour given to sincere worship will make the weather more tolerable than any other means of enjoyment. The Sunday school attendance was much above that of the week before. The spirited singing and the interest in the lessons shown by the classes are evidence that this department of the work is succeeding. The teachers are to be commended for prompt attendance both at school and at teachers' meetings. The lesson at the B. Y. P. U. was very helpfully discussed by quite a number of young people. Bro. Williams, the leader, proved to have given the lesson considerable study. The subject "My Life Lived with Christ," should be the topic of daily consideration. The Mission Circle will render the programme at the evening service. This being the fifth Sunday each worshiper should make a special offering to Africa. The meeting of this auxiliary at the church last Thursday was very helpful. The Sewing Circle after a short vacation met last Friday at the home of the pastor. A goodly number of ladies was out and the work was seriously taken in hand for the fall and winter seasons. Sister Bruce is making an admirable president and under her leadership the sisters are accomplishing much good for the interest of the kingdom. The Willing Workers are soon to be called together for the purpose THE CHURCH PAGE. of being reorganized and rejuvenated so as to take their rightful place among the auxiliaries at the Fall Rally. This is one of the best organizations in the church but lately have not been so active as it hopes to be in the near future. It is hoped that more ladies will become interested in the work of this circle. The hot weather has in no way seriously interfered with the good work being done at our Mission. The Sunday school and weekly prayer meetings are having good attendance and the people in that locality are responding nobly to the efforts of Bro. Jackson. Our brother is planning a series of special meetings to be held in the near future. Let us all pray for the Mission. The preparations for the reception to members, complimentary to the choir, are all complete. Invitations are out and everybody is expected to be present. An excellent program with plenty of good refreshments will make the evening one to be greatly enjoyed. The reception committee is going to see to it that there will be no longer any "strangers" in Zion. This is an invitation to you. A number of young men of our church have purchased land in the Allensworth Colony in California. We make this announcement as an evidence of the fact that Zion's men are always the most progressive. The idea of negro towns and negro farm settlements is the only practicable means of settling the negro's industrial troubles in this country. We had ought to seize opportunity to buy farm land as though life depended upon it. In fact that is true—the life of the race. If you are a member of Zion don't miss the pastor's reception to members next Tuesday evening at the church. Everybody free.
