TWENTY-FIRST YEAR ANCIENT SECRET ORDER TO MEET Detroit Members to Be Host of Mystic Shriners Aug. 23. WILL FORM IMPERIAL COURT Brief Historical Sketch of the Masonic Fraternity, Its Subdivisions and Numerical Strength Among Afro-Americans—Annual Meeting to Be Largely Attended. Perhaps no secret order among Afro-Americans in the United States is so little understood by the masses of the race as is the Masonic fraternity. There are thirty-eight grand lodges in the United States and one in Canada. The Prince Hall grand lodge of Massachusetts is the oldest. It was or MOCHA ganized in 1808. It was the outgrowth of African lodge No. 459, the warrant for which was issued by the grand master of England to Prince Hall and fifteen other colored Masons, Sept. 29, 1784. The number of colored Masons in the United States and Canada is more than 150,000. Of the Royal Arch there are 14,000; Knights Templars, 12,000; Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. 2,000; An- --- cient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons number upward of 5,712. Prominent members of the Masonic fraternity from forty states will attend the annual session of the Ancient Egyptian and Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, which will be held in Detroit, Mich., from Aug. 23 to 25 inclusive. The Mystic Shriners of Detroit are making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the visitors, who will number several hundred. A parade has been planned as well as a number of social functions. Jacob T. Wright of Richmond, Va., has been the im- M. JOSEPH E. BROWN perial potentate for the past four years. Joseph E. Brown is the imperial assistant. The treasurer is A. T. Waller of Baltimore. J. H. Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, has been the imperial recorder for the past four years. The Daughters of Isis, composed of the wives and daughters of the Shriners, will gather at the same time to organize an imperial court. NEGRO'S LOYALTY PRAISED. By Northern White Woman Who Rejoiced Over Johnson's Victory. In a recent letter to the Philadelphia Press a white woman of Harrisburg, who signed her name "A Mother," referring to the Johnson-Jeffries fight, says: I was taken to task for rejoicing over the colored man's victory. I remember that the colored people were stolen by the Dutch, brought here and sold into slavery to make money. The Bible tells us, "Woe to the land overshadowed by wings; the Ethiopian shall arise and possess it," and this is the beginning of the end, a foretaste of what is coming. For myself, I am not afraid of the colored race. They are a peculiarly loving, loyal friend to all who befriend them SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1910 (like a faithful horse or dog) and are our best friends when treated rightly. "The sins of the father reach to the third and fourth generations." Likewise the virtues My ancestors were always good to the colored people, and, like "the blood on the doorpost," we will be spared when that fearful day comes. The colored race revere my grandfather's name, for he was the first man to offer education to them. He said "the colored people have souls as well as we white" and built a schoolhouse on his plantation and sent north for a minister's daughter to teach them. It caused so much trouble with his neighboring planters that he set all of his slaves free and moved to Ohio. Several of the "faithful" followed him and his brother and sister into that new country. It is time and space wasted to discuss this miserable lowering folly with creatures who try to pass for "civilized men" of the present generation, but we hope to improve the rising one to better citizens and statesmen. We have learned to our sorrow the folly of trying to depend on the man in power to suppress this shameful business. It is now time for action against the lowering demoralizing influences of the rebble. Prosperous Year For Sunday Schools. The recent annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Baptist Sunday school convention and the Baptist Young People's union, held jointly at Pittsburg, was the most largely attended in the history of the two organizations. There were forty-two schools represented, and the receipts amounted to $472.91. William Strothers was elected president, succeeding John S. Trower of Philadelphia, who declined a re-election on account of ill health. Mr. Trower was, however, made honorary president for life in recognition of his long years of service as president. No Vote For Negroes In Oklahoma. Returns from the recent elections in Oklahoma show that the Democratic party carried the state in favor of disfranchising the Negro. The total Negro vote of the state is 14,000. NEGROES CONTROL! American Woodmen Nhw Have C.M. White, a Distinguished Texan, as President Since its organization in 1901 the supreme officers of the American Woodmen have been white men. John C. Kennedy, John K. Shireman and Charles H. Parker and other men of means and large experience in fraternal life insurance incorporated and instituted this order, whose motto is "The Brotherhood of Man." It was the original intention of those gentlemen that so soon as the order had attained a stable position in the fraternal insurance world as to members and means, to turn the entire --- FIVE CENTS A COPY management over into the hands of colored men. At the meeting of the supreme advisory board, held the 9th of this month, the board unanimously elected C. M. White of Austin, Texas, as Supreme Commander, who immediately took charge of the Denver office in the Arapahoe building. Mr. White is a fraternal man of large experience, having spent years of his life in insurance work. He has been at the head of the order in Texas for many years and many thousands of dollars have passed through his hands in the settlement of claims, etc. With him are associated colored men of equal integrity and ability as Supreme Camp officers, the entire management now being in the hands of colored men. We bespeak the greatest success for this order and hope and believe that Denver, the home of the Supreme Camp, will soon have the largest camp in the country. They are, at the present operating in the Gulf and border states and are taking steps to push the work into new fields. Austin, Texas, has the honor of possessing the largest camp, it now at the present time has a membership of over four hundred. POLICY HOLDERS SHOULD KNOW THEIR RIGHTS. The Insurance Department of the state of Colorado has scored in the case of the Western Life and Accident Company, the sick and accident concern which was up on the carpet for alleged mishandling of funds. The insurance commissioner thought the salaries taken by the president, vice president and secretary of the company, which were $4,200 $4,200 and $4,800 per year, respectively, were too high for a company doing so small a business. He used the power of his office to demand an explanation and reckoning. He got it. The company officials above named now draw $600 per year less than before the investigation started. The policy-holders and their beneficiaries now have that much more assurance that claims will be paid as agreed. The policyholders in companies like the Western should know their rights and protect them instead of being entirely at the mercy of the persons to whom they entrust their money with the insurance commissioner the only one wise enough or willing enough to do for them. A saving of $1,800 a year for a mutual company is just that amount at the disposal of the policy holders under the conditions of their contracts. Every unwarranted raid on the treasury through whatever source is just that amount of their money gone. The insurance commissioner of the state is deserving of the thanks of the people for his activity in their behalf. This is one department in the state that the taxpayers can support and feel they are getting value received. or all, for clean, progressive and broad gauged journalism. It makes prominent the idea that in order to live a newspaper must be made a business success. It emphasizes the principle that sufficient revenue can be collected through honorable channels without resorting to blackmailing, political piracy and sensationalism. "To aid in this forward movement a national organization of Negro journalists is absolutely necessary. There have been such associations in the past, and they have been led by strong forces. If for one reason or another some of them have disintegrated, their failure, instead of discouraging the leaders of today, should inspire in them a deeper sense of obligation to take up the cause and plant its banner on the mountain top. Never in the history of the race has there been a more insistent need of a vigorous, manly, honest, fearless, capable and patriotic Negro press than at this moment. "At Louisville last August an earnest effort was made by a group of public spirited exponents of the 'fourth estate' to lay the foundation of a kind of press association that would bring the scattered brethren of the fraternity into a closer sympathy. "The devious byways of political, religious, social and other problems likely to breed dissensions were carefully avoided. They were left to the individual judgment of the men directly interested. A combination was effected on the single issue of business development. "It was agreed that, whatever else the race might need, there is a crying demand for a live, clean, courageous and progressive newspaper to speak out for and chronicle its creditable achievements. "Further, it was agreed that something must be done to persuade the masses to extend to our papers a more adequate support, to the end that our best fitted journalists might be enabled to give their full time and talents to the business. This would insure to this fundamental agency of racial advancement a truly representative character. "The New York convention spells opportunity to the Negro newspaper man who is 'on to his job.' Sympathetic co-operation is the keynote of the entire situation, a getting together, a comparison of notes, showing how one has enlarged his circulation, how another has increased his advertising patronage and still how others have improved the makeup of their papers. "If we do no more than get together and grasp one another's hands, feel the tingle of the rich red blood of comradeship-'swap grievances,' if you will—and exchange social greetings some good is bound to grow out of such a meeting. "Of course no one expects that the Press association will set any rivers on fire or work any drastic revolutions in newspaperdom at this immature stage of its existence, but it has so far won the hearty approval of every Negro editor whose opinion is worth while, and that in itself augurs well for its future. "What it is to ultimately become will depend almost solely upon the readiness with which the fraternity takes hold and responds to the policy marked out by the officers it has placed at the helm. The outlook is bright. "There is an impulse for unity among the newspaper workers of the nation that is stirring the racial heart as nothing else has done in the past decade. If the right men come to New York THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. and labor for the cause instead or immenting the shortcomings of some individuals there will be erected upon the foundation laid by the pioneers at Louisville a superstructure that will bring a rich harvest of hope to our struggling millions who are looking to the 'fourth estate' for light and leadership." Negro Baptists to Meet In New Orlea The National Baptist convention will hold its annual meeting in New Orleans for six days, beginning on Wednesday, Sept. 14. The convention is the largest organized body of Negro Baptists in the world. Its publishing house at Nashville is the largest and best equipped concern of its kind among Negroes in the United States. Another Big Fight on the Docket. As the discussion of the JohnsonJeffries fight begins to wane interest in the sport is revived by the announcement of the big bout between Sam Langford, the heavyweight pugilist of Boston, and Al Kaufman of California. The two men are scheduled to engage in a six round battle at Shibe park, Philadelphia, on Aug. 10. NOTED PUGILIST DIES. Joe Gans, Ex-Lightweight Champion, Succumbs to Tuberculosis. In the death of Joe Gans, ex-lightweight champion of the world, which occurred at the home of his mother in Baltimore early Wednesday morning, Aug. 10, the pugilistic fraternity lost one of its brightest stars. The last public appearance of the plucky little fighter was on the stage of the Gayety theater, New York, during the engagement of Battling Nelson. There were at his bedside when he died his mother, wife, Kid North, an old time pugilist, who accompanied him from Arizona; Miss Tilgham, the nurse, and Colonel Daniel Pendleton, his lifelong friend. He was thirty-six years of age. Gans was a victim of tuberculosis. The following facts as to how he began his pugilistic career when a mere lad working for a small pittance were taken from his diary: "Once the boss and his brother and I each put up $1.70, and we bought a set of five dollar boxing gloves. I got too good for the other boys, so they made me box two of them at a time. "My first fight was to a finish with another kid. My boxing with two boys at once had taught me how to block and dodge and lead, so I won my first real fight, which was for a two dollar side bet and a collection of $5.40. It looked like a lot of money to me, and I just had to win. I took the money home to my mother. "My next fight was for three rounds, and the purse was $8. Then I began picking up little fights, meeting the boxers and wrestlers who traveled around giving exhibitions and earning a few dollars here and there. I took it all home to my mother." Concord Literary Circle Opens Sept. 8. The officers of the Concord Literary circle, Brooklyn, are arranging a three months' program for the fall meetings of the organization, which begin on Thursday evening, Sept. 8. The program for September, October and November will include addresses, debates, readings, musicales and a drama. Walter K. Taylor, president, is one of the brightest young men in the community. He is deeply interested in the work and is working for its success.

How many places are there in this city that are owned and controlled by the Negro in the line of what we all want, and that is pleasure and amuse- ment? I can name one, which with the right kind of management would be in a class by itself, and that is the West Bros.’ ice cream parlors on Wel- ton street. They have music three and four nights a week and also have the crowds. Now will they be able to keep them. Yes! With the right kind of management, and the right treatment to their supporters I don’t see why they shouldn’t run forever. Hospitality means much, boys. BOB WATKINS NOT ALL IN. Now you talk about your. sass. Well, Bob Watkins is as sassy as ever and says that he can make all of Jim Corbett’s men, called the un- knowns, look sick. Bob also says that if these dub heavyweight muckers don’t quit sending out their outland- ish challenges that he will be forced to re-enter the game himself and will see how hard he can hit some of them up side the head. Now wonders are happening every day and Bob might be able to do a thing or two if he is given a chance. Who believes in him? “DOWN IN DIXIE” MINSTRELS OPENED IN CHICAGO. John Rucker, the famous man be- hind the burnt cork antics and the original Alabama Blossom, has caused all of Chicago to go wild with one of the greatest colored minstrels ever produced. He and a company of 50 are just what the board said they would be. Rucker is singing with great success his latest and his old songs, “The Jungle King of Spain” and “Why Don’t It Rain On Me, Dear Mother,” “They Are Going To Get Up Day Before Yistidy If They Wants To Catch Me.” The fact about it is that every gag is now and ‘wll songs are new outside of Rucker’s song. SAM McVEY AND JACK JOHNSON. It appears to me that some of the promoters have overlooked this man Sam McVey, as being a very favor- able opponent for one Jack Johnson. Sam is a good man and would make as good, and to my notion, a better showing with Johnson than any other man in the heavies, if they were matched to fight in the near future. Sam Langford is not the man, in fact he is too small. His reach is short and his legs are weak, and if he was to be matched with Johnson, Johnson would have no trouble in beating Langford after 12 or 14 rounds, if he didn’t turn the trick before that. THE BELMONT THEATER, PENSA- COLA, FLA. The Arntes, Billy and Grace, direct from London, England, opened last week with a great scream. The Mack brothers, the world’s greatest dancers, and Smiley, the woman wonder, and the three great Freemans, also are making the house go wild with their clever work as en- tertainers. This is the best colored show town in the South. NETTIE LEWIS AND WM. ABLE. Are singing with success “That Barber Shop Chord,” “Money Ain't So Many After All,” and “Italian Love.” THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. They are playing in the Netherwood theater, Chicago. BROWN AND BROWN. Mrs. Tom Brown of Brown & Ne- varo team, has almost completed her new dance, which she says is an in- vention of her own.

Barton and Braswell as gen- eral supervisor during the preparation and rehearsals for the show, in which John Rucker is leading man, will start rehearsals in New York with the Smart Set Co., which will be lead by him, as of old. On the whole Dud- ley will soon take the place of the late J. Ed. Green, the black play- wright. Dudley always was a smart boy. FIGHTING ENGINEER WOULD MEET LANGFORD. Here it comes again. Henry Me- Intyre, a colored light heavyweight of Chicago, known as the fighting engi+ neer, says he is just dippy for a fight with Sam Langford. McIntyre says he has plenty of good backing, men- tioning Pat O'Malley as one of the men who will find support for him. Oh, well, I guess Sam hardly cares. THE R. M. A. CLUB VISITORS.

Thrifty Organization, Which Started a Few Years Ago In a Small Way, Gives Employment to Hundreds of Persons-Vice President Spaulding an Expert. One of the most successful business concerns organized as the direct result of the inspiration and encouragement which its promoters received from the National Negro Business league is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, N. C. There is nothing so apt to make strong sentiment for the black man, nothing that will do more to ameliorate southern conditions or to even give the Negro greater confidence in himself, than the successful manipulation of large concerns. The officials of the association recognize the importance of solidity, safety and conservatism in all of their business transactions. One of their pet theories is that a goodly portion of every dime collected must eventually find its way into the reserve fund, which is for the protection of its policy holders. As a reward for this conservatism the concern has grown to such an extent that its volume of business has increased in eleven years from $840 in 1899 to $220,100 in 1909. It is not such an easy matter now to begin insurance companies as it once was. The state authorities are beginning to see that some protection must be guaranteed the policy holders and the people who place their trust in the statements of insurance officers. To this end the state of North Carolina must have reports made to its insurance officials, which reports are verified by an examination made by representatives of the state department. In such an examination all the mutual industrial insurance companies, doing business in the state of North Carolina, had assets to protect their policy holders amounting to $91,164.27. Of this amount the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association has $72, 608.67. The company has likewise on deposit with the insurance commissioner of South Carolina $20,000 to protect its policy holders in that state and owns valuable property in Columbia, S. C.; Wilmington and Durham, N. C. Its records show that $45,000 have been paid in the last six months in premiums, and writes sick and accident policies, purely accidental policies, industrial insurance policies, and straight life and endowment policies. The office force numbers twenty-one clerks and stenographers, and including agents, managers of districts and traveling men, it gives employment to 650 persons. The present officers are John Merrick, founder and president: THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Dr. A. M. Moore, secretary and treasurer, and C. C. Spaulding, vice president and general manager. Much of the real success of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association is due to the efforts of Mr. Spaulding, who has made a definite study of insurance. In many respects Mr. Spaulding is regarded as one of the best authorities on insurance in the country, and he knows every detail of the complicated machinery in the North Carolina Mutual office. Mr. Spaulding is ably assisted in the management of the concern by Mr. J. M. Avery. At the Business league meeting in New York Mr. Spaulding gave from the ten years' experience he has had in the insurance business some valuable facts with reference to the management of the work. His subject was "Some Benefits and Dangers in Negro Insurance Business." Under the caption "Big Steal In White Fraternity" the Portland (Ore.) Advocate of July 16 says: "The state of Illinois insurance commission has sufficient evidence to convict certain men in a fraternal insurance society of fraud, and it promises to develop into something serious. "The principals and all concerned are white, and we only mention it not because of the criminal element exhibited in the Caucasian, but rather because it demonstrates the fact that the oaths and vows of fraternal brotherhood hold no great significance for them." MOB VIOLENCE DENOUNCED Colored Citizens of Washington Advise National Movement For Protection. Recent lynchings in Florida, Texas and in other states of the Union was the subject discussed at a largely attended mass meeting of the colored citizens of Washington, held on Tuesday evening, Aug. 9. All of the speakers were emphatic in their protest against mob violence and the inactivity of the federal authorities in relation thereto. H. A. Clarke in the course of an extended address said: "The south again has made herself conspicuous by the recent lynching of innocent and defenseless Negroes. In violation of the laws of God and man she has been the principal in three of the epochs in world's history—namely, the epoch of slavery and rebellion, the period of Kukluxism and ballot box stuffing and the era of lynching, disfranchisement and Jimcrowism." The Rev. F. N. Ross, who dwelt at length on the recent horrible lynching at Palestine, Tex., said: "God wants the Negroes to get together and take care of themselves. There are 100,000 Negroes in Washington, and they are told by the white people to run to God with everything.' "They are taught to be afraid of themselves. They won't strike out for themselves. If the supreme court of the United States had put down race rioting and bent its efforts to stopping mob violence this Texas slaughter would never have occurred." Other speakers exhorted the race throughout the south as the most effective weapon to join in a national movement for personal protection. The sentiment was approved in the form of resolutions. ZION CHURCH NOTES --- Dear Church: I am writing you this message on a flying express train, crossing the barren and rugged plains of Arizona. This is our second day from home; we are feeling in the best health and spirits and to say that we have enjoyed the trip thus far would be to express it mildly. In this line I cannot, nor will I attempt to express to your our deep sincere gratitude for your kindly consideration of the pastor's health and welfare and your noble generosity in sending with me my wife and little girl will bind us to you forever. Tomorrow we expect to reach our first stop, spending Wednesday and Thursday on the Colony, Friday in San Francisco, reaching Los Angeles on Saturday. Mrs. Over and Edna are more than happy and we all expect to return to you refreshed both mentally and physically on the second Sunday in September. Pray for us and the rally. Do not forget the missionary fund for Africa. "May the Lord watch between us and thee while we are absent, one from another." The public worship of last Sunday was greatly blessed by the Spirit's presence. The attendance was fine and the sermon by Prof. Carter was greatly enjoyed by those present. Spiritual fervor and enthusiasm in our worship is becoming a definite experience from Sunday to Sunday. The work of our Bro. Carter at Topeka is a most magnificent testimony to the zeal and consecration of a young man who has given himself to the Lord. It is not generally known that Prof. and Mrs. Carter are members of Zion.. For this especial reason Zion is very proud of the record they have made at Topeka. The concert in the evening by the choir was indeed one of the richest blessings Zion has experienced in many a day. The program consisted of the old hymns and melodies sung by our fathers before the war. The modern so-called jubilee singer has done so much to vulgarize in the popular mind many of the most sacred and inspiring hymns of ante-bellum days that our choirs serious effort to restore their pristine seriousness will result in much good to our congregation. Let us immortalize those old heart melodies which grew up out of the spirit that gave us our freedom. The Zion congregation will never be able to appreciate the services of this valuable organization. Under the direction of Mrs. Faulkner our choir is indispensible in maintaining that high spiritual tone which characterizes our services. Even though absent in the body the pastor desires to call attention to the rally notices now on the walls of the church. Especially we should get into our hearts that message from Rom. 13, now displayed over the pulpit: "Owe no man anything." If that text means anything it means that the church should be out of debt. In accord with that scriptural sentiment we mean to wipe out our mortgage next October. PAGE. 13. The thing which we hope our members will realize deeply is that we have it in our power to make this the last rally in Zion. When we clear this debt we can so improve our property that it will bring into our treasury at least $2,500 per year in rents. In a few years we can sell for enough to build a modern church home without debt. For that reason every member should be willing to make a special sacrifice at this time in order that Zion may enter upon that new era of prosperity which God has waiting for her. Last year when our prospects were beclouded by distrust and uncertainty the loyal members got together and raised the largest amount of money ever offered in a single effort. Now when unity and harmony once more prevail in Zion, when the whole church is working for the prosperity of the kingdom, our plan for a $3,000 effort becomes a most practical affair. Already we are laying plans for a great mortgage burning in November. Today, Sunday, the 21st, our Brother, Rev. James N. Wallace, will preach. This evening Dr. R. Randolph will fill the pulpit. Next Sunday Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazel of the People's Presbyterian church will deliver the message to Zion. On the first Sunday we will be blest by the presence of Rev. M. S. Jones of Colorado Springs, in the morning and Rev. A. E. Edwards of the Central church in the evening. The pastor is deeply grateful to these brthren for their kindly assistance during his absence. The third annual convention of our association, just closed, was the most successful meeting yet. Not only in the amount of money raised, but also in the character of the program and the Christ spirit manifested by the messengers. Rev. Hughes of Pueblo is to lead the forces this year and we are sure that his enthusiasm and good nature as well as his ability will be large factors in making the coming year count for God. Zion, as always, will be his loyal support. The death of Mrs. Hooper of Philadelphia, who was recommended to our care by Former Pastor E. W. Moore, is calculated to quicken our hearts to the deepest expression of sympathy. Mr. Hooper, on his way from Honolulu, had not reached San Francisco when the end came. Only her little boy, Ernest, and Dr. De Frantz were with her when she died. We take this means of expressing the sympathy of the entire church to the bereaved relatives. OUR MOTTO.

EATON, Manager Denver Office | 1622 Welton Street Phone Main 4644 PERSONAL CONTACT IN LIKE OCCUPATION. Progress Noted In Negroes Getting Together For Mutual Betterment. It is an encouraging sign of progress among our business and professional men and farmers to see them get to- gether once a year for mutual inter- change of views. Nothing is more helpful to those of similar occupation than personal contact. We are getting in touch for political betterment too. This is a move in the right direction. If other men seek to minimize our rights as citizens it is our God given right and imperative duty to demand that which fs right ac- cording to law. In a republic like ours every citizen bas a constitutional right to be heard on all matters affecting the body poli- tic, especially in the matter of elec- tion to public office by the suffrage of the people. The Negro should not ask for more than that which is due him in common with other citizens. - Enfranchisement of Women Would Lessen Crime Against the Negro. So we are to have a few more “grandfather clauses,” observes the Pittsburg Courier, this time of the Western type. Soon we'll have the suffragists' “grandmother clause.” We always have loved our grandmamma’s way of doing things. She had a virtue for honesty. "I'was the old “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” The enfranchisement of women will minimize the crimes of injustice com- mitted against the Negro. Because the same power of influence attained by her from birth, education and Chris- tion religion would place woman so high above her less fortunate sisters that she would not countenance, nei- ther would she conspire, to rob men of their citizenship, especially when that citizenship went for American manhood, the standard of freedom guaranteed under the constitution of a Christian country. Liberal Aid For Dickson Orphanage. In donating the sum of $47.50 to the Dickson Colored orphanage at Fort Worth, Tex., at its recent meeting tn that town the Masonic grand lodge of Texas set a good example. The orphanage was also the recipient of $91, which was given by the J’abo rian grand lodge at its meeting at Fort Worth on July 25.

Boulder Canon was the scene of a delightful picnic, when on Monday last a party of Denver's young folks quit the noise and bustle of the busy city and cast their lot among the rocks and rills of the canon. The girls, like busy bees, climbed to the highest peaks and wandered to the lowest valleys, while the boys sat lazily on the rocks, devouring the good things in the baskets. Like Ned on his new sled, Miss Martha Hubbard was anxious to beat everybody down the mountain. She started to coast down on a rolling stone, but this old mean stone hit another mean stone and twisted its course and Martha's ankle couldn't stand the "twist" so she was wheeled to the car, still in front, but in an invalid's chair.

PAGE. & MASONS MAKE GOOD SHOWING Large Sums Paid to Widows and Other Beneficiaries Yearly ADEQUATE ENDOWMENT FUND Interesting Reports of What the Grand Lodge Has Accomplished Under the Able Leadership of Grand Master Henry Claxton Binford—Sketch of His Career and Work. The annual meeting of the Masonic grand lodge of Alabama, which was held at Montgomery during the week ending Aug. 20, was largely attended. The reports showed great gains in both membership and finance during the year. At Birmingham in February of this year Endowment Secretary-Treasurer C. W. Allen said that the books of the grand officers showed receipts amounting to $42,506.63. Of this sum $28.153.90 went to the beneficiaries of deceased members and for other expenses incurred by the order. This left a cash balance of $14,352.73. The report of the widows and orphans' endowment department for the year ending June 24, 1909, showed receipts with a balance of $62,273.71. Of this sum $58,900 was paid to widows and orphans, leaving a balance, after taking out current expenses, of $2,482.56. There is much rejoicing over the phenomenal success of the order under the leadership of Grand Master Henry Claxton Binford, whose interest in the M. B. HENRY CLAXTON BINFORD. order never lags. A sketch of his career and achievements at this time seems most appropriate. Henry Claxton Binford was born in Madison county, near Huntsville, Ala., in 1851. He received his early education at Rust Normal institute, Huntsville, which was established by northern philanthropists. He is noted for his frankness, generosity and maniiness. These traits of character have won for him a host of friends, who lavish upon him their confidence and esteem. Grand Master Binford has had a busy life since the day he left school. His first educational work was that of public schoolteacher at Bleetcher's Ford, Madison county, Ala. He also taught at Courtland and for many years in the city schools of Huntsville. Settling down early in life by his marriage May 1, 1873, to Miss Frances Ann Hendley, Mr. Binford reared and educated a family of four children Henry Connard, now principal of the Huntsville city schools; Pearl Amanda, now of the city school faculty; Charles King, a music professor, and John Allen, his private secretary. He had a distinguished career in politics. He served for many years as secretary of the Madison county (Ala.) executive committee and afterward as its chairman. He was elected a member of the Huntsville city council in 1901, which position he creditably filled for four years. He was for many years a trusted employee as storekeeper and gauger under the lamented Collector James T. Rapier and for four years-1890-4-a clerk in the United States land office at Huntsville, where he rendered efficient service. As a Mason his career dates from his initiation into Evening Star lodge, No. 6, in 1874, of which lodge he has ever since been a member. He served Evening Star lodge for years as worshipful master and afterward as secretary until succeeded in the latter position by his son, John Allen. The grand lodge of Alabama in 1894 elected him grand secretary, which position he continued to fill until June, 1901, when, in consequence of the death of the late Grand Master Reuben R. Mims, he succeeded to that office. Since then he has been continuously re-elected without opposition.

Rogers of the Forum says: "If the 'regulars' want you to be for them all they have to do is to be for you. We do not mean that all they have to do is purchase you. We do not believe in a purchasable ballot. What we do want is adequate recognition and consideration from the regulars. "It must not be presumed that the colored vote will be for you simply because you are allied with a certain party or a certain faction of a certain party. We are waiting to see who is for the right and what your policies are before we are prepared to induce you for anything." Virginia Sunday School Convention. The annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist State Sunday school convention will be held in the Ebenezer Baptist church, Charlottesville, Va., Rev. Dr. Thomas D. Atkins, pastor, from Aug. 24 to 26, inclusive. Prominent Christian workers from all sections of the state will be in attendance, and a most profitable meeting is hoped for. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO.

Second Annual Meeting to Be Held in New York Aug. 16. CO-OPERATION IS THE KEYNOTE National Organization of Editors and Publishers to Cover Every Phase of Newspaper Work-Broad Gauged Journalism Their Alm-President Thompson's Career. The second annual meeting of the National Negro Press association will be held in New York on Tuesday, Aug.16, the day before the meeting of the National Negro Business league. At the day session there will be papers, addresses and "round table" discussions of the practical phases of newspaper work. At night a public meeting will be held for the exploitation of the ethical and general problems surrounding the relation of the press to the people. Many representative editors, publishers and correspondents and others allied in various ways to the well being of the "fourth estate" have signified their intention to be present. The indications point to a very successful and profitable convention. The place of meeting for the two sessions is being arranged by the local committee, comprising the principal journalists of New York and its environs, and due announcement will M. B. be made at the Maceo hotel, 213 West Fifty-third street, and in the New York daily press. The Genesis of the Organization. The National Negro Press association was formed in Louisville, Ky., in August, 1909, and the charter members THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. embraced some of the race's strongest molders of public sentiment. A constitution was adopted, and officers were elected as follows: President, R. W. Thompson of Indiana, residing in Washington; first vice president, M. M. Lewey, Pensacola, Fla.; second vice president, Dr. P. R. Peters, Louisville, Ky.; corresponding secretary, Dr. R. H. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn.; recording secretary, George F. Collins, Washington; treasurer, Rev. L. G. Jordan, Louisville, Ky. The executive committee is made up of the general officers and one member from each state represented in the body. In order to find a common ground on which the Negro press might meet with a minimum of friction and with the accomplishment of the most productive results it was agreed to restrict all discussions to the business side of journalistic development. The Press Association's Departments. To facilitate the objects of the association a number of "departments" or groups have been formed. The title suggests the lines of investigation along which each will labor, and the report of the several chairmen will form the basis of their discussion at the annual sessions. They are as follows: "Our Relations With the Associated Press," Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee institute, Alabama; "Editorial and News Policies," T. Thomas Fortune, Trenton, N. J.; "General Correspondents," Cary B. Lewis, Chicago; "The Syndicated News Service," N. Barnett Dodson, New York. "Journalism and the Law," Albert S. White, Louisville, Ky.; "The Development of Special Features," Lester A. Walton, New York; "Religious Publications," R. R. Wright, Jr., Philadelphia; "Circulation Building," George L. Knox, Indianapolis, Ind.; "Advertising," N. D. Brascher, Cleveland, O.; "Mechanical Equipment and Physical Valuation," Dr. R. H. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn.; "Books and Magazines," H. T. Kealing, Nashville, Tenn.; "Fraternity Journals," E. W. Brown, Richmond, Va.; "Woman's Work In Journalism," Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Washington. R. W. Thompson, president of the organization, is one of the best known newspaper men of the race. He is a native of Kentucky, but was reared in Indianapolis, Ind. He won his journalistic spurs on the Indianapolis Leader, the World and the Freeman, beginning as a local writer and compositor. For years he was managing editor of the Colored American at Washington. He is now conducting "Thompson's National News bureau," a Washington news syndicate, with marked success and wields an influence second to no one in the land as an opinion molder and purveyor of general information. Mr. Thompson has kept the National Negro Press association in the public eye throughout the past year and is laboring with an aggressive enthusiasm to have a convention in New York on Aug. 16 that will encourage others to build an enduring monument upon the foundation that has been so happily laid. Policy of the Press Association. Speaking of the principles and policies for which the National Negro Press association stands, President Thompson says: "The Press association stands. first SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STATESMAN.

The Statesman claims no superior wisdom nor is it superlatively unselfish. It has erred and may err again. Our only apology for erring will be as it has been, to set out resolutely to do right until human frailty again brings us to the ground. Therefore in sitting in judgment on some of the race's activities in this state in other days, we have to confess we have been guilty too. We refer to the State Business League and the Negro Press association which have struck on the rocks of too much politics and gone down to an unhonored grave. It has not been long since at this time of the year the great and the near great and the would-be-great were sitting luxuriously in day coaches junketing up and down the state pretending to be helping business and newspapers, but really playing the game of politics with zeal and persistency worthy of a better cause. All roads do not lead to Rome, neither does politics spell success for the race. The Business League as such is desirable, so in the Prose Association. But state meetings used for political purposes are seldom representative. In fact they tend just the other way, being attended by the idle rather than the busy members of the race. Job seekers are more numerous than the persons whom they desire to represent. We realize that some of these statements we make, are harsh and we regret that the truth is sometimes unpalatable. But if we can save the state from the further disgrace of being used as a rotten borough, we will risk hurting feelings and speak out. Let politicians win their spurs in the game. Let them not use other race endeavor as a stepping stone to political preference. State meetings, even when avowedly political, represent the views of the man with the most railroad passes and are a poor indication of the views of our people at large. WHICH PRESS DESERVES YOUR SUPPORT. The daily press went into contortions a few days ago over a possibles lynching in Colorado Springs in which street car manners was the alleged cause. It now appears that no offense was intended nor any taken. Both the colored man and the white woman understood and accepted the situation with no feeling on either side. Outside interference and misunderstanding brought on the bitterness. It is wonderful on what small pretext that lust for blood of Negroes rises. It would have indeed been lamentable had a tragic conclusion come to the matter. In the meanwhile what shall be said of the white press that is such a willing ally of the cussedness shown in this incident? Many of our readers are steady contributors to the support of these papers. Let them consider the results they receive for the money from them and what they get from the smaller sum paid for race papers. We PAGE. ABOUT POLITICIANS. TEAMS. regret our newspapers cannot supplant the white press entirely, but this one incident is a powerful argument for the support of papers that are fair and friendly. The refusal of Mrs. Gans, the widow of the deceased pugilist, to permit a public benefit in her behalf, brings to light the fact that he was comfortably well off in this world's goods at the time of his death. This feature of his success is pleasant to our ears, for we would see Negroes in whatever line they engage, measure up to the twentieth century standard that considers money the visible sign of merit. Faith Weakens at Inconsistency. Some of us would have more faith in the Christianity of the white ministers of the country if they would rise up and grow as indignant over the burning and lynching of unconvicted Negroes in the south as they pretend to be on account of the fistic encounter between two admirably trained athletes whose combat could only injure themselves.—Indianapolis (Ind.)

Last week the picnic of the church of the Redeemer was a pronounced success. The car service was especially good and the pleasure of the guests was all that could be desired. This week, on Thursday night, the Utopians had their postponed outing at the park. Mrs. O. L. Boyd gave a party Saturday in honor of Mrs. J. W. Morris, who left for Kansas City the next day on a visit. It was a card party and 16 persons followed the various chances of the games, closing with a delightful repast. Mrs. Chas. White assisted the hostess. Messrs. Alva Connell and Willie Johnson of Colorado Springs, young men well known in Denver, were nearly lynched because they tried to obtain the self-respect due their wives while on a Manitou car. A white woman in this city started the trouble by trying to force a seat from Mr. Johnson after he had occupied it. The young men are both well known in the former city and live there. Mrs. Dora Richardson, sister of Chas. Wicks, was the guest of honor at a six-course dinner given by Mrs. J. H. Short Sturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wicks, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Wmi. Russ, Mr. and Mrs. O. Dishman, Dr. Harper, Leonard Anderson, Mrs. Lizzle Watkins and Mrs. V. Martin were the participants of the feast such as only Mrs. Short can prepare. The colors were pink and white and used very artistically. Frank D. McPherson has filed on 160 acres for a homestead in Weld county, near Masters. James Smith and J. M. Thompson have gone to Masters, Colorado, to put in 50 acres of winter wheat on O. T. Jackson's claim, and 50 acres of winter wheat on James Smith's claim. They will fence in their claims before returning. There are about 3,000 acres left of the 11,000 that were open when O. T. Jackson filed last May. Those persons who have intentions of filing will lose a splendid opportunity for good land near a railroad and in a prosperous country if they wait too long. Death ended the illness of Mrs. Louise Hooper of Germantown, Pa., Wednesday of last week. For some months she has made this her home in the hope of recovering from tuberculosis, but in vain, residing in the Highlands. Her husband, who is engaged in the Y. M. C.

Upon his arrival he found here already her sister and her husband from Germantown and that money had been raised for the funeral expenses. Having sufficient funds of his own, Mr. Hooper wishes to express his thanks to Zion church for its Christian-like intentions, but wishes also to state that he has placed in its hands a similar sum to be used for one similar case more needy than this one.
