TWENTY-FIRST YEAR RACE AT DISADVANTAGE WITHOUT THE BALLOT. Personal Influence, However Powerful, Cannot Take Its Place, Says Dr. Washington. In his highly enlightening work entitled the "Story of the Negro" Dr. Booker T. Washington, in referring to the Negro of character in the south and with reference to Negro suffrage, says: "I know any number of Negroes in the south whose influence is so strong because of their character that their wish or word expressed to a local or state official will go almost as far as the word of any white man. "There is a kind of influence that the man exerts who is prosperous, intelligent and possesses high character—a kind of influence that is intangible and hard to define, but that no law can deprive him of. "I do not mean to suggest that the sort of personal influence I have described is in any way a substitute for the ballot or can be expected to take its place. It ought to be clearly recognized that in a republican form of government if any group of people is left permanently without the franchise it is placed at a serious disadvantage "I do not object to restrictions being placed upon the use of the ballot, but if any portion of the population is prevented from taking part in the government by reason of these restrictions they should have held out before them the incentive of securing the ballot in proportion as they grow in property holding, intelligence and character." Some Reminders For Editor Jenkins. Intelligence seems to be a poor cure in working out prejudice from the minds of some individuals, says the Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. Judging by works, they have never left the old rut of digging under the feet of others. Well. Brother Jenkins, you have no doubt heard that one cannot get blood out of a turnip. You also know that it is an awful hard matter to get something out of nothing. Read the parable of the sower, and remember also that water seeks its level. Million Dollar Reward Suggested. The Pythian Monitor, ably edited by General Joseph L. Jones at Cincinnati, says the board of aldermen of Brookhaven, Miss., has offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of persons guilty of burning the property of Editor E. N. Bryant of the People's Relief. The Monitor also suggests that the amount be increased to a million, as it would be perfectly safe. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1910 Will Prejudice Wreck the G. O. P.? The effort being made by certain Republicans to thrust upon Senator Simon Guggenheim the blame for the difficulties which beset the Republican party in this state seems to us reprehensible in the extreme. The Senator is the leader of the party in this state and its sole representative in Congress. Unless there is proof, so grave a charge should not be made by his rivals for leadership, for in his ruin they will bring to pass the wreck of the organization as well. It happens to be a fact generally known that in all the acts of Congress during the administration of President Taft—and that is the record upon which the Republican party will run this fall—Senator Guggenheim voted with his party. His record is the record of his party. Only on the ground of a personality that is undesirable, can he be called the incubus of the Republican party, unless we say of ourselves that we have betrayed the people's confidence and are undeserving of victory at the polls. In two meetings representative of Republican opinion all over the state, the meeting of the state Republican editors, and the state central committee, the party has gone on record already as commending the acts of the administration, and we do not believe that public opinion has changed. As a part of the administration, the only part that Colorado Republicans have, Senator Guggenheim must be included in this commendation. It is true he is not the speaker, nor the figure that some other Colorado Senators have been, but the substantial results that have come to the state since his election outweigh the space others have taken in the Congressional Record and the daily press reports. It is not our purpose to present an argument designed to show that any one Republican is better than all others for the senatorship. But the anti-Guggenheim agitation is such a signal illustration of the unfair and typically American custom of eliminating competition by an appeal to prejudice, that we cannot resist the temptation to comment. Senator Guggenheim is not accused of incompetency. The high crimes he has committed are: First—He is a Jew. Second—He is a rich man. The defeat of the party two years ago is said by his enemies to be due to his nationality and to the profuse use he made of money to secure the election of the Republican ticket two years before. They claim to fear a repetition of that defeat this year unless he agrees to withdraw. The less said of the first accusation against the Senator, the better. We Negroes know well how unfair is any attempt to deny merit in a man because of his nationality. The meanness of soul and fear of competition from which his appeal to prejudice arises, shames the boasted superiority of the American civilization. The second accusation is more grave. Doubtless Senator Guggenheim contributed money to the Republican campaign fund. We have given some, too. No party man would see his party defeated if he could help it to victory by a money contribution. We all see in its victory some advantage to the country and ourselves, either directly or indirectly. Let us consider his election from all sides and see how much merit there is to this charge that he debauched the electorate. He was chosen Senator after a campaign in which it was generally understood that Republican victory meant his election. Whatever money he spent went through the party campaign fund. He made no dark-lautern, gumshoe campaign for the job. If he had influence or money enough to secure the choosing of his friends in all subdivisions of the party machine down to the precincts, and then could have this gigantic organization endorsed by the people of Colorado at the polls, wherein does he not fairly represent the state? Senator Guggenheim does not owe his election to the methods used by Clark of Montana or Lorimer in Illinois. In the days of his candidacy there was not the same laws as now nor the same public opinion about campaign money. But even measured by today's standards he has done nothing to make him a stumbling block to party success. We have expressed our regret before that the Republican party through President Taft has seen fit to deal with its Colored supporters on a different basis than that for other Republicans. We now warn the party in this state that it dare not reject Simon Guggenheim unless it makes it clear that its rejection is based upon other grounds than his nationality and his wealth. But why all this agitation about his gifts to the campaign funds? The Republican party is as good in this respect as its opponents, even the reformers. It is accepted as proper to advertise the party merits in newspapers, on platforms and through letters and that costs money. Let the anti-Guggenheim agitators admit that they have little or nothing against the man, and choose his race and his financial standing as his two weekest points in the eyes of the public. It is easier to rant than to argue and sometimes more effective. We believe we speak the sentiments of the Negroes of this state in saying that so long as Senator Guggenheim does good work in Congress for the state, and is in line with the sentiment of the Republican party, his enemies shall not secure our support against him by an appeal to the very devil they invoke when they wish to keep us from employment or cause a lynching. FIVE CENTS A COPY C. A. Pilgrim was in the city last week en route from his former home in Cripple Creek to Boley, Oklahoma, where he intends to live. He is going to engage in the amusement business there, the same as he did in this state. He speaks of Boley in the highest terms, and it is a pleasure to hear him tell of a town where there is a Colored baggage master to handle your baggage, a Colored dispatcher to direct the train and a Colored agent in charge of the depot. Boley has two up-to-date drug stores, one bank, one furniture store, one hardware store, three gins, handling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cotton, one lumber yard, three meat markets, two general stores, which order by the carload lots, four doctors three lawyers, one dentist and one printing office. The three thousand people there are so lawabiding that there have been only eight arrests there in two years. There are two thousand farmers who make this city their trading point. Right now Mr. Pilgrim says the great need is a capable hotel man. He will be associated with him in the amusement line A. H. Waddy of Cripple Creek and L. P. Foster of Boley.

NEW COLLECTOR” OF CUSTOMS Whitefleld McKinlay, Prominent Real Estate Dealer, Gets Job, HAS NEVER SOUGHT OFFICE, Classed With a Group of Capable Men Who Hava Won Distinction by Per- sistent Effort, Whitefield McKinlay, Plain Business Man and Peaceable Citizen, Has Come Into His Own. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. The center of the business commu- nity in Washington, or, in other words, the “Wall street” of the nation’s capi- tal, is that small area on F street ex- tending from Ninth to Fifteenth streets. In one of the busy buildings in this district, at 924 I street, one will see, painted on the glass door, the modest sign, “Whitefield McKinlay, Real Estate.” Whitefield McKinlay is the much talked about colored man who is now in the spotlight because President Taft has selected him for the responsible position as collector of customs for the port of Georgetown, D. C. A lucrative federal position is this, with salary and fees amounting to $5,000 per an- num. In F street, Mr. McKinlay is known as a safe and reliable business man. Here for nearly a quarter of a cen- tury he has carried on a successful real estate business. He is better known and better liked in the “street,” in the banks, at the business houses, around the financial centers than any other colored man in Washington, The story of Mr. McKinlay’s life’ is but the rehearsal of that oft repeat- ed, oft enacted story of the southern boy coming east and making good. Terrell, a federal judge in Washing- ton: Lewis an assistant district attor- ney at Boston: Fortune, a metropoli- tin jeurnaliet; MeDougall, Wilford Sintth aud Deuglas Wetinore, New York levers: Cobh an assistant dis. Wict attorney 1m Wasnington, are some of the many lads from “land known in song and story as the land of Dixie” who have “made good” in the strenu- ous east. And so has Whitefield Mc- Kinlay. McKinlay is a busy and hustling man about fifty years of age. If you want to find out anything about him, about his life work, you'd better see his friends, because Whitefleld McKin- lay, though possessing a most enviable nanie, as a business man and as a gen- tleman {s not the man to blow his own horn. His friends, however, will tell you that he is a man of parts. He was born in South Carolina, educated in the University of South Carolina and Iowa college. At one time he was a cadet at the United States Military academy, West Point. He came to Washington in 1884 and soon afterward entered the real estate business and has been engaged in It ever since, When word reached Washington from Beverly, Mass., that President Taft had decided to select Mr, McKin- lay for the position the evening pa- parma sa csarmmrrrg tes 8552 FES ee ee ae pr a eo : Ges Pe P Poke oo RT cae at ie rs & " 4 i ca oo Ys aa *s (i i. ar xf a jf m4 | Bue Wee aS pers UL Wanuiusia gave prufuient space to the announcement, with first page leaders. The Washington Post carried a cut of Mr. McKinlay, and the Washington Herald had a complimentary editorial. Although not an active politician, Mr. MeKinlay has always been a con- sistent Republican. While he has ney- er sought office himself, he has been very instrumental on different occa- sions in helping other colored men to secure offices. When a reporter called upon Mr. Me- Kinlay, he found the new collector to be busy receiving the congratulations of his friends. On his desk were two large stacks of letters of congratula- tions. The office is one of the best paying federal positions {n the district. Mr. McKinlay will enter upon the duties of the office with the best wishes of officeholders or office seekers regard- less of political party lines. MEETING OF WOMEN’S CLUBS New York State Federation Holds Splendid Session at Geneva. The second annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs recently held in Geneva, N. Y., was attended by large delegations of clubwomen from all sections of the State. There were several able papers on important subjects read and dis- cussed. How to improve and make the home attractive, how to Interest more women in neighborhood and social settlement work, were among some of the many questions considered. The federation was In session two days. The reports from the various clubs were interest- ing and showed that much active work had been done.

And the good thing about it, after all of Joe's fast life, he has made peace with his Maker, and is ready to die. BOXING AT THE R. M. A. CLUB. There will be three fast boxing bouts at the club next Friday night, August 12th. Come down and see the fun. THE R .M. A. CLUB CHALLENGES Any club in town as contestants in pool, billiards, whist or checkers for the championship of the state. No club is barred. Send all communications to the club, or call for Smart. CHICAQO'S HIPPO DROME GARDEN. A new place of amusement in Chicago is that of the Hippodrome Garden, 4318-20 State street. The garden is under the management of the Leland Giants Baseball Co., and some of the best vaudeville acts on the stage will be seen in that house. As the place is large and it will cost money to stay open, it will pay that new house to use the best and the best only. BUDY KING AND MATTY BALDWIN. Buddy King, the one time fast lightweight boxer of the country, has taken Matty Baldwin in hand, and promises to have him a world-beater in a very short time. Buddy has his training camp pitched in Omaha for the present time and sends regards to his friends in Denver. LANGFORD AND KAUFMAN. Sam Langford and Al Kaufman are supposed to do a battle next Thursday night., August 11th, at the National Athletic club, New York, for twenty rounds. Jack Johnson picks Al Kaufman to win in seventeen rounds. Well, the champ may know what he's talking about, but in this instance I don't think much of Jack's opinion concerning this bout between Sam and Al. ED LANGFORD AND LIZZIE THOMPSON Are playing forty weeks in the Vine street theater, Kansas City, and they write that the house is always crowded and that they are making good. Langford is singing, "I am Just Making it Through the World, That's All." And Lizzie is just creating the storms of Vine street with her new song, "I Want a Man That's My Heart." HARRISON STEWART AND MATT MARSHALL, The second Williams and Walker will not star in a big company as was thought, but they will play vaudeville this season. They left Chicago last week for California, where they will open on the Sullivan and Considine circuit. They will play Denver some time in September or the first of October. PAGE.12 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. I, me, myself and Carmile Nicols were down to the Springs this week and had the time of our lives. We met people from everywhere and everybody was so hospitable that we took ourselves away only at the last minute. We were guests of a Colored prince by the name of Eddie King. brother to Buddy King. Eddie King holds a position that is a great credit to him and he is the only Negro in the country known to manage a swell white club. Mr. King has been an employee at the Colorado Springs Golf club for seven years and has now worked himself up to manager of that club, supposed to be the swellest white club in the Springs. That's not so bad for a young Negro of twenty-eight years. Keep up, boy, you are doing well. Will present the peer of all Negro comedians, John Rucker (The Alabama Blossom) and the Down in Dix-Lama Blossom) and the Down in Dixie Minstrels, America's foremost Negro organization of 50 singers, dancers, musicians and comedians. They open today in Chicago, August 6th, at the Weber's theater, Imperal theater, St. Louis, August 14th, Gilliss theater, Kansas City, August 21st, and maybe, Denver before the season closes. John Rucker has been in the show business for thirty years and yet there are few who can come up to him when it comes to cutting the pigeon wing and doing that famous, get ever Sally. MISSES GRACE BURNS AND RHODA ANDERSON At West Brothers on Welton Street. The Burns and Anderson team of girl entertainers were highly received last Wednesday night, when they made their debut at the swell ice cream parlors on Welton street. Miss Anderson as a pianoist is in a class by herself, and it won't be long before she will find herself in great demand far and near. Miss Burns is fast becoming Denver's leading contralto singer. Her voice is rich, full and sweet, and she sings with feeling and a great deal of temperment and with a little more training she will be able to play the concert stage, which is her desire. They both appear at West's Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons, 3 to 6. LANGFORD AND ARMSTRONG TOGETHER Sam Langford, the great middleweight, and the world wide famous Bob Armstrong, are in Boston. Bob is known as the best man trainer and conditioner in the country and it looks like there is liable to be some kind of a frame-up for the champion, Jack Johnson. Of course, there may not be anything of the kind in the wind, but there is nothing impossible these days, and we know not what will happen next. But I do say this much. If Langford ever wants to fight again or wants to continue in the game he had better let the champion heavyweight alone. Why don't he fight some of the men his class, such as Sam McVey and Joe Jeanette. They will probably be all he can take care of for a while, and they are colored fighters at that. Sam Langford you are a fine fellow and all of that but you are in wrong with Jack. SPECIAL. JOHN RUCKER. Barton & Wiswell NECROLOGY OF THE NEGRO RACE Sanitary, Moral and Mental Reforms Prolong Life. EFFECTS OF MENTAL STATES Learned Scholar In Philosophical Statement Says the Time Has Come For the Negro to Do Constructive Work-We Are More Susceptible to Disease Now Than Ever. In a written interview on some reasons why the American Negro is dying so rapidly, the Rev. J. Andrew Patterson, noted author and psychologist of Orange, N. J., says: It has been said by scientists and statisticians that the Negro is dying faster than he is being born. It has also been stated that because of disobedience on the part of parents to prenatal and postnatal laws the majority of the younger generations of the present and those of the near future are and will be inherently weaker than their parents. The foregoing statements being true, it is evident that a race that is dying faster JOHN A. BROWN REV. J. ANDREW PATTERSON. than it is being born, with a majority of the coming generations being poorly born, cannot survive. Fifty years ago America had no greater race physically than the Negro. But today, excepting the American Indian, no race offers such little resistance to disease as the colored race. Farseeing scientists have already predicted, reasoning from actually existing conditions, that unless some immediate and marked change in the Negro's mode of living and habits of thinking is brought about within a few decades there will be no Negro problem, for the problem will be solved by the extinction of the race. And as a sincere student of the philosophy of life I repeat that unless some real tangible moral, physical and mental reform is effected among our people in the twilight of another century humanity will behold a spectacle more appalling than the tragedy of the passing Indian. You may say absurd, but that does not affect the truth. The time has come when every thinking man and woman of the race should prepare to do constructive work. Sanitation and applied science are increasing the life span of the white man, and why not the black? With the curses that came with the blessings of freedom the Negro was taken from bondage and ushered in to the bliss of liberty. In this condition he was destined to meet other conditions which would prove to be a serious curse to his physical existence because of the fact that he was ignorant and unprepared for his new and almost abnormal environment. By force of circumstances the average Negro lived a more simple life. At night there were few places for him to frequent. There were not many late suppers, all night balls and gambling parties, houses of vice and gilded debauchery to rob him of vitality and sleep. There were no saloons in which he could spend his spare hours drinking poisonous liquors; no destructive cigarettes for ignorant and unthinking boys and many other vices that are weakening the race today. Somebody says that the white man does the same things and is living longer. Why can't we? I say that the woodchopper wields the ax all day and comes home singing. Why can't the bank clerk leave his desk and do the same thing? Don't understand me to say that the white man's longevity under like conditions is due to the fact that he has practiced the vices so long as to become immune from the results, but rather it is due to his increasing knowledge of the laws of his being, and the majority of such are striving to keep those laws. The second and most important reason may be found in the fact that the human body is absolutely under the control of mental states. Every student of mental laws has read that most destructive polsons are generated by adverse mental conditions, such as fear, hate, worry, anger, grief, sad and gloomy thoughts. Under mental states we may consider the power of suggestion. In the past it has been used by all classes and condition of man. Like a two edged sword suggestion has killed unnumbered millions. It has been the physician's greatest balm and most destructive poison. The doctor with his "I'll cure you, but it will take a long time," has made a lingering patient, while the opposite suggestion would have caused a quick recovery. Then comes the ignorant doctor with his death dealing "I have done all that can be done; there is no hope for you," who has administered a poison far more harmful than the disease itself. The sincere minister in the revival meant no wrong when he said to the sinner: "Come to Christ now. Some of you will never see another revival season again." But he sent innocent victims to death just as truly as did the assassin's bullet. The kind mother did not know what she was doing when she said to her son or daughter, "You are the most stupid child in the world, and you will never amount to anything." How different matters might have been had she known that in her words was the power to make cowards, failures and criminals. No race is so much given to adverse mental states and harmful suggestion as the Negro race. Take warning, stop so much talking, shouting, singing and praying about dying. We will please God if we shorten the funeral service and don't wear mourning so long. It is a scientific fact that such indulgences are the greatest enemies to long life. Mrs. Diana Long of Chicago Was Over One Hundred. 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. Farmers Organize For Mutual Uplift. BOISE, IDAHO. Death has visited our camp since our last writing and taken from our midst Mrs. Ada Allen, formerly of Salt Lake. Her death was a great shock to her husband. The grief-stricken twin sister, Mrs. Wilson of St. Louis, received her message too late to be present at the funeral, but came anyway. Mrs. Allen leaves many other relatives in St. Louis to mourn her loss. Mrs. Warren L. Terrell opened the doors of her beautiful home June 30th to the Rosebud club, to which many friends were bidden, and a most enjoyable time was had. At a late hour refreshments were served. All retired thanking her for her courtesy. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Herron and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ryan were the house guests of Mrs. Francis Hanger the week of July 3rd. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Mayfield are among our most energetic young married people of Boise. They have bought and moved to their beautiful new five-room modern cottage at E. E. Bonach and Stroamh avenue. In moving Mrs. Mayfield had much of her best china broken. So her friends gave her a china shower, at which many beautiful pieces of china were received. Mrs. Mayfield will be remembered as Miss Francis Procter, the first colored graduate of the state of Idaho. Mrs. E. D. Gully, wife of the head waiter of the new hotel of Boise, arrived in the city the third week in June and is much impressed with the city and climate. Among the new arrivals are Mr. and Mrs. George L. Branch and Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Mury of Salt Lake. Mrs. A. Z. Sims lost all of her household goods some three weeks ago. So her many friends tendered her a kitchen shower. Many useful kitchen utensils were received. She was so overwhelmed with joy as well as so utterly surprised that she knew not how to thank them. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Brown invited a few friends very informally July 18th in honor of their fifth anniversary. Mrs. Rebecca Davis will leave for a month's visit with friends in Denver August 1st. She will be the guest of honor at dinners, Sunday with Mrs. Francis Hanger and Monday evening with Mrs. Harris Mayfield. Mr. Matt Thorpe left for Colorado last Monday. Miss Rosy Terrell was tendered a stocking shower in honor of her birthday. Mrs. R. B. Smith, known for her great hospitality to strangers and friends, threw wide open the doors of her cosy home last week to the Rosebud club. Many friends were invited and a most enjoyable time was had. Mrs. E .D. Washington, Mrs. Rebecca Davis, complimentary to Mrs. Gully and Mrs. Branch, Mrs. Murry made a pleasant trip to Calwell. On their return they stopped over at Pierce's park, then went to Mrs. Harris Mayfield's to lunch E. D. Washington , our noted town-sman, who is study for the ministry, filled the pulpit of St. Paul's Baptist church Sunday evening. Mrs. Minnie Wagner, on recovering from a severe attack of tonsilitis left THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. for Missouli, Montana, for an indefinite stay. In our city of Boise, Idaho, there are a few friends of Mr. and Mrs. Mosbey's who have known the dear old couple for a long time and were much grieved at the sadness of their death, and extend their sympathy to the bereaved relatives. STEWARDS OF HUMAN LIFE. To Know the Divine Estimate Is Our Duty, Says Dr. Lawton. Discussing human life as a divine investment before the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn recently, the Rev. Dr. W. R. Lawton said, among other things: "Human life is a divine investment, and each human being is a steward. God demands and expects a profit. "He has given direction as to the best possible investment and fixes as a punishment for failure eternal banishment from his presence. And yet life is so trivially and indifferently considered by many. It is used, treated and spent only as means of pleasure to the carnal man and not in view of its highest and noblest possibilities. "The intrinsic value of human life can be known only by God's estimate of it. To know the divine estimate is our duty, and this knowledge will give us the proper appreciation for it." In accordance with the expressed desire of the Rev: Dr. William T. Dixon previous to his death in June, 1909, the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn, of which he was the honored and beloved pastor for over forty five years, the church recently donated $100 for the completion of the executive office of the Downingtown Industrial school at Downingtown, Pa. The money was paid to the Rev. Dr William A. Creditt of Philadelphia who is president of the school. The room will be known as Dixon hall. HELP JOHNSON KEEP TITLE. Man Who Brought the Bacon Home Is the Real Hero, Says Minister. In a recent sermon the Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, for thirty-eight years pastor of the Union Baptist church, Baltimore, Md., referred to the moving pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight with emphasis. Dr. Johnson said: "In my opinion the authorities in many places were a little too hasty in stopping the motion pictures of the fight between Jeffries and Johnson. I think Johnson is the greatest hero the colored race has ever had. "Teach the colored children how to box and they won't carry razors. Boxing should be taught in all the colored institutions in the country and there should be professors especially for this purpose. "At the present time Jack Johnson is in the eyes of the world, and therefore surely is the hero of the colored race. You who are now listening to me, teach your children how to box and you will be doing the best thing that you can do for their moral and physical uplift. "It must not be thought that I believe in prizefights, but I am free to admit that I do believe in boxing. Boxing, in my opinion, is not half so bad as football, and that is saying a good deal. "Some people say that I should not OH! THE LOVIN' GAL WILL BE AT THE AUTUMN LEAF CLUB AT DANIA HALL SATURDAY AFTERNOON AUG. 13 FROM 2 TO 7 P. M. Music by the Orchestra JESSE STONE, President BUD THOMAS, Secretary discuss the fight from my pulpit, but how are the Negroes going to know what is going on if their ministers do not tell them? Fully one-half of the Negroes do not read the newspapers and it then becomes the duty of the ministers to enlighten them on the happenings of the day. "When the report of the fight was spread over the land there was a great jubilation, and shortly afterward there were reports of race riots all over the country. I agree with my people that they should have celebrated, but they went too far.

With reference to the recent disturbance at Newark, O., in which a special detective in the interests of the suppression of the liquor traffic lost his life at the hands of a rabid mob, says the Pittsburg Courier, it is pertinent to note that the law by which the relatives of the deceased will receive from the county $5,000 was drafted by and passed through the efforts of the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, O., during his term as state legislator. The law under which the sheriff and the mayor will be deposed was drafted by and passed through the efforts of State Legislator Eubanks, also of Cleveland. It is also pertinent to note that both of these laws were enacted after the disgraceful affair at Urbana, in which a Negro was lynched for a supposed crime. It is a question as to whether the governor of the great state of Ohio in his action in accordance with these enactments will direct the attention of his colleagues to the fact that they are of Afro-American origin and intended originally for the protection of Afro-Americans at the hands of a rabid mob. And thus we see that what was intended for the protection of a Negro will also be used in a similar way for his white brother. Georgia Setting Good Example. The white race in Georgia are indeed in earnest over the religious plans to create a true spirit of Christianity between them and the colored race. They say this is the only way to save both sides, and as the matter now stands both races are lacking in Christian heart. May the good work go on. Madam J. M.

Jefferson Park is located three: quarters of a mile west of White City on the Golden, Arvada and Leyden car lines. These cars run on the half hour and the hour and during enter- tainments stop within thirty feet of the park entrance. The pavilion has a floor space of forty by fifty feet and ‘a piano. The grounds are clean, with lots of shade, spring water and are lighted with electricity. It is an ideal place for day picnics and evening en- tertainments. All rumors to the con- trary are maliciously false . Mr. John H. Watkins, 2953 Champa street, will cheerfully show any per- son or persons through this park any day.

PERSONNEL OF THE TOURISTS World's Missionary Conference Was the Objective Point of Many—Some Tour the Continent, While Others Journey to the Holy Land—Good Impressions Made. The number of representative Afro-Americans who went abroad on special missions and for pleasure this year far exceeds that of any in the history of the United States. Early in June about fifty men and women representing most all lines of business and the various professions sailed from New York. Some went as delegates to the world's missionary conference, which was held in Edinburgh; some on a tour of Europe, and others had the Holy Land as their objective point. Prominent among those who made the journey were the Revs. L. G. Jordan, D. D., foreign mission secretary of the national Baptist convention; S. W. Smith, D. D., Providence, R. L.; E. J. Fisher, Olivet Baptist church, Chicago; R. D. Phillips, Cincinnati, O.; E. R. Carter, D. D., Atlanta, Ga.; S. W. Bacote, statistical secretary of the national Baptist convention, Kansas City, Mo.; John C. Love, D. D., Montclair, N. J. P. H. Kennedy, Henderson, Ky., superintendent of missions for Kentucky; W. T. McKissack, Wilmington, Del.; P. J. Bryant, chairman B. Y. P. U. board, Atlanta, Ga.; R. B. Harris, Bridgeport, O.; F. L. Lights, D. D., Antioch Baptist church, Houston, Tex.; C. B. Patterson, Pittsburg, Pa.; W. W. Brown and wife, Ebenezer Baptist church, Pittsburg, Pa.; R. H. Harrison, Atlanta, Ga.; S. M. Fisher, D. D., Mobile, Ala.; P. W. Wesley, superintendent of missions for Texas; John McRoberts, Cincinnati, O.; W. H. Skipwith, Richmond, Va.; William Beckham, D. D., field secretary of the national Baptist convention, Nashville, Tenn. R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala., principal of public school and secretary of the national Baptist convention; J. H. Eason, Aniston, Ala., president of the Alabama Baptist convention; M. A. S. Jackson, D. D., Dallas, Tex.; Mrs. J. E. Givens, Louisville, Ky.; Miss Amelia W. Sullivan, Augusta, Ga.; J. P. Robinson, D. D., Little Rock, Ark.; J. W. Rankin, D. D., of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Charles Stewart, newspaper correspondent; Bishop Alexander Walters of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, the Revs. Dr. Camphor of Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. Brooks of New York and W. W. Lucas, D. D., of Meridian, Miss., the last three of the Methodist Episcopal church, and Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, O., representing the African Methodist Episcopal church. These men and women were very much sought and made a good impression for the race while abroad. Revs. W. G. Parks of Philadelphia, THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. P. James Bryant of Atlanta and S. M. Fisher of Mobile continued on to the Holy Land. They will remain over several months and returning; will tour continental Europe. Their work will be telling, and they will have much to say on their return in the fall. During their stay in Edinburgh the colored American representatives were called upon to make many speeches in churches, halls and other public meetings. The Rev. Dr. J. W. Rankin of the A. M. E. church preached in one of the largest churches in Edinburgh; also Bishop Hondu of Japan. Rev. J. H. Eason, D. D., preached in Carrubbers chapel, a large church, making a good impression. Professor R. B. Hudson delivered several addresses. CHEYENNE, WYO. The weather continues warm and a great deal of sickness prevails. Miss Hattie Ingram, of Atchison, Kans., who is visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. E. Brown, has been quite ill. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gaskin are rejoicing over the arrival of a little daughter which came the 25th of August. One of our most popular and prominent young men has taken unto himself a wife. The young man in question is Mr. Carl Smith, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith. The bride was Miss Georgia Kountze, of Denver, Colo., a young lady who has visited in Cheyenne several times. Mr. Smith is to be congratulated and his many friends are united in their expressions of best wishes for a long and happy life. Dr. Beckett has come and gone, leaving behind him many expressions of encouragement for the A. M. E. church of Cheyenne. Rev. Washington is to be heartily commended for having Dr. Beckett with us. The Sunday services were well attended and our distinguished guest delivered himself of two most excellent sermons at both the morning and evening services. We believe that Dr. Beckett was in his happiest vein on Monday evening when he addressed the famous Women's Mite Missionary Society and a large audience which had gathered to hear him. His remarks were received with enthusiastic applause. Dr. Beckett is a man of brains and he is a thinker and a worker for the spiritual and moral uplift of our people. At each of the services music was rendered by the choir. Dr. Beckett was accompanied to Cheyenne by Rev. J. C. C. Owens, our presiding elder, who is always a welcome visitor. Elder Owen's presence was a source of great pleasure and added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. While in the city the distinguished guests were honor guests at the hospital boards of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith, where excellent repasts were served. They were accompanied by Rev. and Mrs. Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Robinson, of Chicago, Ill., will soon erect on their fine lots in the north part of town, a spacious dwelling house. Mr. Robinson is the son of Mrs. Chas. Lucas. Mr. Joseph Carter, of Washington, D. C., is again in our midst. He reports the weather as extremely warm in the East, and is glad of his annual return to cool Wyoming. The Ninth Cavalry, stationed at the maneuver camp at Dale Creek, Wyo., expects to return to Cheyenne about the 15th. The reports concerning the scarcity of water in that locality seem to have been proven erroneous, and the troops do not seem to be suffering on that account, but on the contrary are enjoying excellent health and enjoying the trip.

The third annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses will be held in Philadelphia, beginning on Wednesday, Aug. 17, for three days. No body of organized women akin in their profession to the practicing physician is doing a more helpful work among our people than the National Graduate Nurses' association. As the members are called upon they go into the homes of the people to care for the sick in connection with the attending physician. There, with patience, skill and advice, they render a service of inestimable value. Many physicians have given their testimony as to the wisdom displayed by nurses in serious cases of illness, of which they had charge and which resulted in the patients' recovery largely through the skill of the nurse in following out direct medical orders. The convention this year will be largely attended, as many members of the National Medical association have arranged to remain over from their recent convention held in Washington. There will also be an unusually large number of nurses from all sections of the country. The present officers of the association are Miss Martha Franklin, president, New Haven, Conn.; Miss Lottie Marin, corresponding secretary, New York; Miss Mary Clark, recording secretary, Richmond, Va., and Miss Ada B. Samuels, treasurer, Lincoln Hospital, New York. NO COLOR LINE FOR DIAZ. Mexico's Chief Executive Believes In a Square Deal For All. The decision of President Diaz of Mexico not to accept membership in the National Sunday school convention because the institution draws the color line is to be commended in the highest terms. He says that he rules over too many of the colored race to be biased, which places this great Christian organization in a pretty dim light. Good for President Diaz! Christianity has been a cloak too long for sets of narrow, contracted, bias thinking sciens of humanity, and a public call-down is about the only thing that will sort of bring them to their senses and make them extend the glad hand, even if it is with a faltering heart. Bruce Resigns From Mining Company. John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N.

Maryland Grand Lodge to Meet at Easton, Md., July 25. The twenty-first annual session of the Maryland grand lodge of Knights of Pythias, which will be held at Easton, Md., July 25, 26 and 27, promises to be one of the best attended in the history of the order in Maryland. The people of Easton are making great preparations for the entertainment of the delegates, and a number of social affairs have been planned. On the afternoon of the first day the uniformed rank, under command of General George H. Carter, will give a street parade. The conferring of the grand lodge degrees will then take place. Formal welcoming exercises will be held at night. Grand Chancellor George H. Watty of Baltimore has been indorsed for reelection by a number of lodges. The present officers are George W. F. McMechen, Baltimore, deputy grand chancellor; Josiah L. Diggs, Baltimore, grand keeper of records and seals; H. M. St. Clair, Cambridge, grand master of exchequer; Thaddeus Copeland, grand prelate; Joseph Green, Baltimore, grand prelate; William Layton, Baltimore, grand master at arms; W. C.

The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention, which was held in New York in June, was a record breaker along all lines of its work. The financial assistance rendered to the various educational institutions and for home and foreign mission work was an encouraging feature. The appropriations were distributed in part as follows: For the work in Haiti, $167.76; for Africa, $50; for South American missions, $95.99; to the fund for the widows and orphans of deceased members, $250. Educational institutions helped were Virginia seminary and college, the Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural school and the National Training School For Women and Girls. The Howard Colored Orphan asylum was also liberally remembered, as were many other subjects of a charitable nature. The receipts of the convention proper were $1,082.18. This sum does not include the amount for board of delegates and minor expenses incurred for the week the convention was in session. Rev. Dr. W. A. Harrod, corresponding secretary of the convention, in a letter to the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt, president, said: "The convention of which you are the honored president has broken this year all previous records. It has taken in, aside from the entertainment money, $1,082.18. It has aided twenty-one charitable causes touching all phases of mission work, home and foreign. Feeling that it is the duty of a good secretary to give you this information in an itemized form, I herewith inclose the same." MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS.

We are proud to see that the colored people of Louisiana stood up against such indignity and were successful in their contention. There are many embarrassments placed upon us which could and would be prevented if we as a race and a unit would resent same. But indif- ference and weak backbone permits us to receive these acts with as much complacency as if we were ordained for just such treatment.

People's Iadlattoluing Oompa? indorsed by Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The People's Auditorium company of Brooklyn, which was founded by Miss Irene L. Moorman, {# incorporated un- der the laws of the state of New York and bas a capital stock of $100,000. The object of the company is to raise sufficient funds to erect an auditorium building large enough for the accom- modation of the great number of se- cret and benevolent societies and for business offices. This is a move in the right direction and ought to meet a hearty response from our people. It has become a hard matter already to secure suitable places for such purposes even at high rentals, and tn the majority of cases the accommodations are not in keeping with healthy sanitary requirements, Under such a concern as the People’s Auditorium company plans might be perfected whereby efther Individuals or corporate bodies could safely invest in amounts which would soon enable the company to proceed with the erection of a desirable building. There are several wealthy and in- fluential white persons interested in the work which Miss Moorman fs do- ing, one of whom ts Mrs. Oliver H, P Belmont of New York. Mrs. Belmont is president of the Political Equality association.

The eighth annual meeting of the Potomac River Baptist association, held at Pleasant Grove Baptist church, Indian Head, Md., recently, was a revelation in many respects in that it showed how the Baptists of south- ern Maryland and northern Virginia were struggling against many difficul- ties of which the denomination at large knew not of.

A significant statement in the press dispatches is that Oklahoma has asopted the "grandfather" clause in its state constitution, depriving illiterate Negroes of the right to vote and that the vote for this amendment was "greater than the normal Democratic vote." Continuing it says that this amendment will mean the defeat of some of the Republican Congressmen now holding office. From these statements it can be seen that some Republicans would rather satisfy their hate of Negroes even by being unjust, than to see their party victorious. The Statesman here now hazards the opinion that the Negro can be as little interested in the success of the Republican party as are the "lily-whites." If a complacent administration will permit state Republican organizations to lend themselves to disfranchisement, it need be no occasion of surprise when northern and western Negroes strike at the party out of a desire to revenge their brethren in the South. LYCHING DECLINING. A Texas circuit judge has declared the killing of Negroes in that state in the recent riots a disgrace to the country and the state and demands the indicting of every man connected with it. Will wonders never cease? Killing of Negroes seems to have gotten past the pastime stage wherein it is to be encouraged for the edification of children and the pleasure of parents. National Medical Association to Meet In Washington, Aug. 23. PLANS OF LOCAL COMMITTEE Members of the Profession From Many Sections of the Country Will Attend. Headquarters Will Be at Howard University—Admirable Clinic Facilities—Brilliant Social Features. The twelfth annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Washington from Aug. 23 to 26 inclusive. Plans marked out by the general committee indicate that the meeting will be a record breaking one in both attendance and general interest. Such cities as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Baltimore and others have entertained the association, but the people of Washington, recognizing that this is the nation's capital, feel that it is incumbent upon them to establish a new record in the --- PAGE. 2. REPUBLICANS DEMOCRATS. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The general committee is well chosen for the particular and exacting duties that fall to it. The chairman is Dr. William S. Lofton, a leading dentist of Washington, who has had considerable experience in matters of this kind and is therefore eminently qualified to master the situation. The vice chairman, Dr. J. W. Mitchell, is well known throughout the country as an indefatigable worker, and he will ably second the efforts of Dr. Lofton. The secretary is Dr. Amanda V. Gray, one of the owners of the Fountain pharmacy, Washington, and a woman of remarkable intellectual and social gifts, who has counted no sacrifice of time or means too great when it was necessary to keep alive the spirit of organization and unity of action among the allied medical, dental and pharmaceutical professions of the nation. Like his energetic coadjutors, Dr. George W. Cabaniss, the treasurer, is loyal to the cause and is lending his tremendous influence to the committee in order to make the coming session worthy of the people who claim first rank in all that represents the things of life worth while. As assistant secretary Dr. J. C. Dowling is making his hand felt in the enthusiasm that has been generated upon all sides. Dr. A. M. Curtis is in the thickest of the fray, prepared to perform any service that will help, no matter whether it is part of his specific task or not. In the publicity and promotion end Dr. John R. Francis is sending out large batches of literature, and the columns of the press are beginning to teem with the preliminary story of what is going to happen to those who visit Washington in August. The board of management and control is made up of Drs. J. H. Johnson, W. C. McNeill, C. Sumner Wormley, C. H. Marshall, J. C. Norwood, Albert Ridgeley, S. S. Thompson, Charles I. West, M. O. Dumas, W. A. Warfield, C. W. Childs and D. H. Smith, all of whose names are familiar to the people who read as they run. The buildings and campus of Howard university, admirably located on a hill commanding a magnificent view of Washington and its environs, have been secured as places of meeting through the courtesy of Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of the university, and Dr. W. C. McNeill, secretary of the Medical college. Nineteenth Street Baptist church, through Dr. Walter H. Brooks, has kindly tendered the use of its spacious auditorium for the public meeting on Tuesday evening, Aug. 23, at which time the addresses of welcome will be delivered by prominent officials and citizens of the district, with responses by the visitors.

Clinics will be held each day from 8 to 10 o'clock a. m. at Freedman's hospital, the finest and best equipped in the city and excelled by few in America. Dr. W. A. Warfield, surgeon in chief, will be in charge of the work. A notable innovation this year will be the "medical clinic," which will attract much attention. The dental clinic will be held at the infirmary hospital, across the way from the main building. The heads of the subordinate or "group" organizations, acting with the National Medical association, are: Dr. A. M. Curtis, chairman of the surgical section; Dr. C. W. Childs, chairman of the medical section; Dr. L. H. Singleton, chairman of the pharmaceutical section, and Dr. Herbert W. Ross of Boston, chairman of the dental section. AN IMPOSING DEATH PAGEANT. Monday evening, after an illness of several months, Isaac G. Gilmore, one of the old citizens of Denver, breathed his last at his home on Lafayette street. He has been a sufferer from heart and stomach trouble and heroic efforts to save his life were in vain. Thursday afternoon the funeral service was held. The police force, of which he had been a member for 21 years, sent an escort of honor, consisting of about 75 officers, under the sergeants, and led by the military band. The Knights Tem- --- plar, of Hiram Commandery, and the Masons of Centennial Lodge, of which he was a member, completed the escort. The funeral cortege was truly imposing as it swept down Champa street to Campbell church. The hearse was drawn by four horses and attended by actual and honorary pallbearers. A vast concourse surrounded the church and overflowed when the funeral party entered. Rev. Williams was the principal speaker, commenting upon the work of the deceased for Campbell church, to which he belonged. Other ministers taking part in the service were Revs. Wallace, Brown, Ward and Over. The remains were then escorted to Riverside and laid to rest with Masonic ceremonies. Mrs. Gilmore, two daughters and two sisters of the deceased, are the immediate relatives with many more remotely connected. Thus comes to end a long and useful life in the community. Mr. Gilmore's time and money has been poured into every public venture, and he has always been active in anything designed to help the race. His death with its signal funeral ceremonies was not needed to attest his worth. The Knights Templar and the Masons will know no more his zeal. The handsome floral pieces cannot bring back what the grim destroyer has taken. Sympathy for the bereaved is all that now remains and this the family has from far and near. The funeral arrangements were under charge of Undertaker Lawhorn, with Crutis Harris as funeral director. Benj.

It is hoped that the members and friends will show their appreciation for her faithfulness in the church and com- munity by some small token of re membrance. The official board has planned a $500 rally for the last Sunday in Oc- tober. We must repair the church and parsonage and make a payment on the principal of the church debt.

We invite the cooperation of the sister churches in this effort to pitch a battle against sin and wick- edness in our city. —, The Brotherhood has started on an era of good attendance, We trust that they will continue this revival of attendance.

MACEDONIAN CRY HEARD. Attention Called to Lack of Business Entanuiese in tahoe: ng ee ar mek Ate a Ae Be ae In a recent issue the Louisville (Ky.) Columbian, which {s so ably edited by Dr. P. R. Peters, says all of the south- ern cities save Louisville are doing something for the uplift of the race along business lines. Here we have close to 45,000 Negroes—about 12,500 are voters—more than 15,000 including Jefferson county, and yet we hare not a Negro hotel, not a first class modern restaurant In the city. No Negro dry goods store, no Negro bank and not a single first class Negro grocery store is in the town. Of course those who are in the business are do- ing the best they can under the condl- tions now existing. This is possibly surprising news to the outside world, and we hope that the Columbian will continue to ham- mer away until our people shall have become awakened to the great oppor- tunities which they are letting go by unused.
