ABOUT DENVER VETERANS AND ITS RECEIVE PEOPLE THEIR FLAG TWENTY-FIRST YEAR ABOUT D AND ABOUT THE BATHHOUSE. Almost since the opening of the institution there have been rumors of the bad treatment of colored people in the bath house at Twentieth and Curtis street. So grave did the situation become that a representative of The Statesman undertook in an interview on Thursday to gather the real facts. Superintendent Torpey claims that very few colored people come to the bath house at all either on Thursday evenings, when the whole service is at their disposal, or on Sundays when the showers are in use. He denied emphatically that they were deliberately assigned to that part of the week when the pool was most foul. Though he did admit that the number using the pool was so small that it was not good economy to change the water for them. The Statesman representative suggested that possibly the foul water was as much responsible for the poor attendance as the reverse. Out of it all there seems to be one thing certain, that is that colored people do not get in their one day in the week, the same chance as white people get, of having clean water. Unless special pains were taken to change water at varying times, they could always be assigned such dates as will make certain they find the pool at its worst. Superintendent Torpey speaks fair enough and if he means it, it is now up to the persons who go to the bathhouse to make specific any charges of poor or unhealthful service. All who desire to bathe, or swim, need therefore know that they will receive the same attention as is usually given and should anything be amiss, it is up to them to report it to the superintendent. The Statesman hereby pledges itself to help in any just attacks made upon the manner of conduct of the bathhouse. In the meanwhile the fair speech of the superintendent deserves a fair trial before condemnation should be dealt him. GOOD WORK MEANS GREATER OPPORTUNITY. The great golf tournament at the Country Club is over and now that the smoke has cleared away it is to the efficiency of the help that much of the pleasure of the club guests is due. Especially to the bar attendants is praise going. Edward Page, who is in charge of the bar with James Cartwright as his assistant, were fur- --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910 ther reinforced by Ed. Holland and Wm. Euper. This quartet served 16 hours a day and always with perfect satisfaction. This makes the second club using colored bartenders here, the other, the Traffic Club, having formerly been served by Mr. Page, who is now making good at the Country Club. A continuation of this good reputation will make possible other similar opening in this city. Mrs. A. A. Ealy left the city Thursday for California for an extended stay. Mrs. Louis George entertained at cards in her honor on Wednesday evening of last week. On Monday night 17 friends gave her a very pleasant surprise party and on Wednesday night she was overwhelmed by the ladies of the Self-Improvement and Social Club and their escorts, who also surprised her. It was such an evening as these ladies know how to have and Mrs. Ealy will bear pleasant memories on her journey. At Campbell A. M. E. church on Thursday, September 1, there will be a musical treat under direction of Mrs. Lillian Jones, our famous contralto. Admission 15 cents. Several prominent citizens of Indianapolis are in the city looking after their interests in the Sea Bird mine in Gilpin county. They are Rev. N. A. Seymour, J. W. Turner, Lawyer W. E. Henderson, Archie Greathouse, Chas. B. Rape. Accompanied by O. C. Goens of this city they have called on some of the principal business places of the city. Thursday they went up to their mine near Central City. They intend installing machinery and going into the earth after the most improved methods. Mrs. David W. Douglas of 2205 Marion street, assisted by Mesdames William Hickman, Herbert Black and Maude Savage, entertained the Bachelor Girls' Whist Club Tuesday, Aug. 23, in honor of her sister, Miss Julia Odile Walton of St. Louis. Those present were: Robert Ann Barbee, Calpernia Chinn, Clydie Garrett, Nelsine Howard, Henrietta Howard, Katheryn Hubbard, Martha Hubbard, Bessie Jacobs Edna Schweich, Eva Carter, Barbara Wall. Marguerite Jackson, Miss Hall, Katie White, Oma White, Ann Crosswaite, Senora Finley, Julia Walton. The first prize was won by Edna Schweich, the second by Miss Bessie Jacobs. State Historian & Natural History Society URDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910 VETERAN RECEI The audience which assembled at the People's Presbyterian church Tuesday evening must have felt something of the thrill which filled the hearts of the early Americans when a century ago the Stars and Stripes were first flung to the breeze, for on Tuesday there was a flag presentation to Denver's representatives of the participants in the Spanish-American war. The ladies of Denver, taking pattern after the noble women of all ages and countries, took it upon themselves to honor the brave. They undertook to provide a flag for Corporal White Camp of Spanish War Veterans and the noble piece of silk and gold that will grace the Camp attests their success. The presentation exercises, which were scheduled on a souvenir program of next design, were under charge of Mrs. Julia Hubbard. She had assisting her the flag committee, consisting of Mrs. Alice Webb, chairman; Mrs. N. Finley, vice-president City Federation; Mrs. Josephine Cassells, treasurer; Mrs. Laura Hill, Mrs. L. Carson, Mrs. J. L. Burnett, Mrs. W. C. Williams. Mrs. Froman, ex-president of the State Federation, also occupied a place of honor. The program was of few numbers. Aside from the introductory remarks of the chairman, the City Federation as donors spoke only through Mrs. Alice Webb, who delivered a presentation address, eloquent and scholarly. It brought out the symbolism of the flag, and was an exhortation to Corporal White Camp to continue to support and uphold bravely the flag in the future as they have in the past. Her remarks were frequently interrupted with applause. Captain Campbell, commanding the Camp, received the colors in a becoming speech. He dwelt at some length upon the failure of the nation to accord justice to Negroes, closing with thanks to the ladies. Sergeant Walter Vernell was very entertaining in remarks on the Philippines. There were several features during the evening much enjoyed that were not on the program. One was the calling of the company roll by Comrade Thos. Dickerson of the G. A. R. Another was the presentation to the Camp of a gavel made from some of the woodwork of the Battleship Oregon by Mrs. Record, a white lady, wife of a comrade from one of the white Camps. A third was the speech of an old regular. A fourth was the singing of Miss Senora Finley. --- FIVE CENTS A COPY NS EIVE EIR FLAG Captain Silas Johnson of the Fire Department and U. G. Brown received the thanks of the ladies and the Camp for their assistance in securing the flag. So the flag has come and Corporal White Camp will appear on parade Monday in the full panoply of war veterans. Having been organized only a few months, it has made tremendous progress and occupies a place close to the public heart. It is real soldiery enjoying the peace it has won. On Monday night in celebration of the advent of so many visiting comrades, it will hold a public levee and reception at East Turner hall. This doubtless will eclipse any military fete ever given in this city. Yet great and enjoyable as it may be, it is doubtful if any evening will raise higher the swelling tide of patriotism than did the flag presentation, the papers, the singing, the speeches and the fanfare of real army trumpets on Tuesday.

Dr. H. B. Frissell and Major R. R. Morton discussed "Co-operative Movement In Education." The great success of the conference was due to the local committee, which arranged the programme and provided for the comfort of the visitors, who were entertained free at the school. Dr. Frissell, chairman of this committee, gave a reception to all the guests and visitors. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones was secretary of this committee and came down from Washington to complete all arrangements for the conference. Dr. THE CHIEF OF THE MARITIME FORCES MAJOR R. R. MORTON. Jones, it will be remembered, is in charge of the census report of the colored people and is temporarily away from Hampton. The conference concluded with the adoption of the following recommendations: We again urge upon colored teachers that they lose no opportunity to improve themselves and suggest that to this end they organize teachers' institutes in every county, and we ask of public school authorities and private schools every assistance they may give in aiding teachers to a better training of themselves for their important work. We recommend that our schools bring their work to bear practically upon their immediate surroundings and that they do their literary work with no less thoroughness than the practical or industrial work We urge that schoolteachers, ministers and other individuals feel it incumbent upon themselves to assist in every way in disseminating agricultural information among the country people that they may learn to improve their economic condition by producing better crops, improved live stock, by enriching their soils and by beautifying their homes. Believing in the ultimate result of cooperation by all the different agencies in the state toward the uplift of the Negro race and the betterment of each community, we urge that efforts be put forth to bring together all these forces—educational and otherwise. We would not forget, further, to urge most earnestly the cooperation of the churches in providing wholesome and uplifting amusements, tending not only to furnish healthful and harmless recreation, but providing safeguard against the vicious tendencies in many of the worldly and unrestricted amusements surrounding our people on every hand. We wish to guard the race against the usurious money lender, the insurance frauds, whether black or white; the installment dealers and grasping, dishonest landlords and urge upon the leaders of the race, particularly the ministers who enter into such intimate relations THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. with the great masses to keep these matters constantly before the people. We regret enactment of class legislation which has destroyed the civil and political rights of the Negro people and earnestly prav that we shall have relief by the education of public opinion against the injustice done us by such class legislation. We heartily commend the results of the work of the local Anti-tuberculosis league, organized under the auspices of the Hampton Negro conference of 1909. We urge the collection of data which to be of value must be absolutely accurate concerning the mortality resulting from this disease and also the preparation of simple instructions looking to the prevention as well as to the treatment and cure of Bble Class Has Athletic Club. The Letitia Athletic club, composed of about sixteen young men of the senior department of the Concord Baptist Sunday school, is now a member of the Sunday School Athletic League of Brooklyn. The club was organized two years ago. The young men are members of the same Bible class which is taught by Deacon R. Lincoln Powell. It is the largest club of Afro-Americans in the league. INDUSTRIOUS YOUNG MAN. Success of J. H. Witcher, Who Knows How to Overcome Difficulties. Joseph H. Witcher, the subject of this narrative, was born in Pittsylvania county, Va. His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm and in attending the county public school, where he received the rudiments of his early education. Being of a studious disposition, he read much and otherwise made good use of his time. From his reading he received a broader view of life. This stirred his ambition to greater activity, and he set out for Hampton institute, in Virginia, where he studied the painters' trade. On leaving Hampton Mr. Witcher decided to try his fortunes in the north, whither he went in 1890, to Brooklyn, where he now resides. Finding that without money or membership in the painters' union he would be at a decided disadvantage in following his trade, he turned his attention to the municipal or public service via civil service qualifications. True to his aim, he studied hard before making application for examination for police duty, but when he felt that he was fully prepared he entered the examination and passed, making a good average. Although Mr. Witcher's name was placed on the eligible list for police ap- pointment, he immediately took the examination for the postal service. In this he also made a high average and was subsequently assigned to duty in the New York postoffice, where he is now holding a letter carrier's position and is rendering excellent service. In an interview with Mr. Witcher in New York recently he said: "Any ambitious young man can do well in spite of race prejudice and rank competition if he will prepare himself and keep everlastingly at it. I think the postal service is a fine field for our young men; the police force also, for that matter, but I would advise all persons of my race who desire to elevate themselves materially to take the civil service examination, because in positions so secured one gets the same pay for the same kind or class of work as the other, whether white or black; color cuts no figure. Many of our young men of education and good training are holding good positions in New York and elsewhere, but they are not paid the same salary as some young white men, many of whom are less capable and do less work."

I take great pleasure in commending Sister Sallie A. Ramsey, Evangelist, of Shelbyville Ind., to our pastors and people. She possesses rare ability as a soul winner, and wherever she goes God approves her labors with an abundant harvest of souls. Sister Ramsey's Godly examples, convincing method of presenting the gospel truth, her Chist-like spirit, her faith in God and her power in song are elements which prepare her to be a benediction to church and a blessing to the community. No pastor will make a mistake in securing her service if possible.

SPORTS AND THE THE STAGE By LEON PRYOR THE FIVE LICORICE STICKS ARE COMING. Did you ever see the Licorice Stick Co.? Well they are certainly one of the fastest colored company's on the road. They will be at the Pantages theater the middle of September. The fast colored lightweight boxer of this city, is now in Salt Lake City training with young Kid Bell of Denver for his coming Labor day's battle with Cyclone Thompson, or the Battling Dane. Gans sends regards to all of his friends. THE SAPAN & JONES CO. Are now playing the Keith & Proctor circuit, having opened at the Union Square theater, Jersey City, last week. They made a big hit and will probably be the best colored vaudeville company on the road this season. THE PARKER AMUSEMENT CO. There were nine colored performers to leave Denver last Sunday to open in Cheyenne Monday with the Parker Amusement Co. They will put on a modern minstrel and southern comedy show that should make good. Sam Edwards and Miss Ida Fitzpatrick will take the leading parts. SAM LANGFORD IN VAUDEVILLE. Sam Langford, the light heavyweight fighter of Boston, known as the "Boston Tar Baby," is playing at the Victoria theater, New York. His salary is $700 per week, $300 less than Johnson. Langford does a bag-punching stunt and boxes three rounds with his man and trainer, Bob Armstrong. CHRIS SMITH. SONG WRITER. The man who can put words and music together is Chris Smith. He has written a large number of late, catchy songs that will net him quite a small fortune. His latest song being sung by several colored artists is "The Rubberneck Man," and it is all the rage around Chicago and other big cities. BIG BOXING TOURNAMENT AT THE R. M. A. CLUB. It looks like a big time next week at the R. M. A. Club. There will be several fast boxing matches held in the gym. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday evening. Such men as Kid Bruce, Kid Berry, Laury Jackson, Catlett, the whirlwind Kid Brown of the Waldorf Club, and Young Joe Jeannette, will participate in the big contest. Everybody is welcome each night, starting at 8:30 p. m. Come and bring your friends. CHAMPION IN TWO CLASSES. Jack Johnson is the undisputed Negro heavyweight champion of the world and Sam Langford, to my notion, can beat anything in the middleweight and light heavies. Now where is there a colored boxer who can do the one trick of beating Ad Wolgast, the white champion lightweight of the world. I can name over thirty who would make fair showings but we want someone who is capable of winning the champion's belt. Laury Jackson and Kid Bruce can hit. --- PAGE.12 YOUNG GANS. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. THE FIGHT PICTURES OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT FISTIC BATTLE. Have you seen them—the fight pictures? Well they are great in a way. You never saw so many pictures of one man, as you would see of Jim Jeffries, who holds the day in the first part of the show. It is nothing but Jeff. Jack Johnson is shown only once or twice before the pictures for the big fight are shown, but after the first round of the pictures there is a decided change. Everything is Johnson from the first to the last round, which evens up things. It was a sin to take the money the way Johnson did. He could hit Jeff at will and his golden smile never left him once, and it will be many a day before someone can come up to Johnson as a fighter, white or black. THE R. M. A. CLUB'S GYM.

Brothers, do you know one of the greatest remedies there is for weak men? Exercise and physical culture. It strengthens the mind, body and prolongs life. There is a fine gym down to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club rooms. Come down and look it over. Physical culture is what you need, why not join this club and have the privileges the same as other men in life, and health? ABBIE MITCHELL TO STUDY. It was stated last week that Miss Abbie Mitchell would become a bride. Monday she was driven to the parsonage of the Institutional church, Chicago, and married to William Phillips. The wedding ceremony took place at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was a quite wedding and the marriage was performed by Rev. A. J. Cary. Miss Mitchell says her being married will not interfere with her theatrical engagements and study, as she says that she would some day like to be in a class by herself when it comes to singing.

Church, Washington President Wilber P. Thirkield Presides-Hon. W. T. Vernon Orator of the Occasion. One hundred and seven young men and women were graduated from Howard university, Washington, amid all the pomp and splendor of the great institution at the recent commencement. There were many distinguished educators and visitors present who gave their unqualified approval of the great work which the school is doing. Robed in somber yet stately cap and gown, which were later augmented with the hood, these young men and women presented a most interesting picture. As they marched into the vast auditorium of Metropolitan A. M. E. church the university band played patriotic airs. Round after round of applause swept over the house in ever increasing volume. A. B. The audience was composed of the parents, relatives and friends of the candidates for graduation and HON. W. T.

A very pleasant surprise party was given on Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Lyles of Humboldt street Thursday night of last week. Many friends came and made merry with them during the evening. Games were played and refreshments served. Mr. Lyles leaves the first of the month for Texas on business. On Wednesday Mrs. L. Oliver entertained Mrs. Sanders of St. Louis, formerly Mrs. C. P. McKenzie of Denver, Colo., to a three-course dinner. Covers were laid for six. The house was most beautifully decorated with flowers and fruits of the season. The guests departed at a late hour with long-cherished memories of Mrs. Oliver's hospitality. Among those from Indianapolis who attended the Negro Business League in New York City this week was Mme. C. J. Walker, formerly of this city. On her return trip Mme. Walker will stop over in Boston, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Johnson, and in Philadelphia with Mrs. Geo. W. Blackwell. Mme. Walker is meeting with flattering success in the art of growing hair and has just recently bought a beautiful nine-room house, modern throughout, and situated on one of the finest residence streets in Indianapolis.

The Socialists will vote to a man against the disfranchisement of any section of the working class, be he white, black, yellow or red, says "Old Hickory" in the Dallas (Tex.) Express. If this stand will earn us the usual title "Nigger lover," then be it so. After all, the brotherly love of the working people—black and white—is preferable to the sexual love that has existed for a century between the white master and the female portion of the Negro race. ```markdown ``` L.

The pulpit of the Nazarene Congregational church, Brooklyn, is again vacant. The Rev. J. London Isaacs, whom the church called as pastor something more than a year ago, has resigned. The Rev. A. J. Henry, whose death occurred a few years ago, served the church faithfully for eighteen years. He was well known in Brooklyn and was regarded as one of the best educated pastors among Afro-Americans. After the death of the Rev. Mr. Henry the pulpit was filled from time to time by different pastors of the city until the Rev. Mr. Isaacs accepted the pastorate. He is a native of Demerara, British Guiana, South America. The resignation of the Rev. Mr. Isaacs is not the result of any disagreement on the part of the pastor and congregation. On the other hand, the relations between the pastor and the church have been of the most peaceful and agreeable nature. Rev. Mr. Isaacs resigns of his own free will and has accepted the call of the Plymouth Congregational church, Charleston, S. C., which is fostered by the American Missionary association. The church is fortunate in having on its board of trustees several well qualified and responsible men, who have guided its finances in such a way as to secure a new church edifice, in which it recently began holding services. Church Complies With Pastor's Wish In accordance with the expressed desire of the Rev. Dr. William T. Dixon previous to his death in June, 1900, 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. Madam J. M.

RECTOR CIGARS AND TOBACCO - - Ice Cream and Soft Drinks PHONE CHAMPA 2219 1916 Arapahoe St. Denver, Colo. --- COOPER-ELLIS NUPTIALS _. On last Wednesday evening at the residence of Mrs. Cora Joseph, 2452 ' Gilpin street, Mr. John W. Cooper of “this city and Miss Eleanora Ellis, for- merly of New Orleans, La. were united in the holy bonds of matri- mony. Rey. A. M. Ward, pastor of Shorter A. M. E. church, read the holy writ which made the twain one. Owing to the recent bereavement in the bride’s family the ceremony was witnessed by only the relatives and a few most intimate friends. The bride was given away by her foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sprague, who led her to a bower of flowers in the spacious parlors where the servy- ices were held. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock Miss Car- rie S. Joseph charmingly entertained the guests by singing “Oh, Promise Me,” after which Mrs. P. E. Spratlin played the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding march and concluding softly with the bridal song from Jensen's wedding music. The ring service was used. The bride, tall and stately, was su- perbly gowned in a creation of snow white Savon de Soie, amassed in rich tare lace, made with Grecian tunic ef- fect, entraine; no jewels were worn, her only ornament being a bridal cha- peau which swung from her arm by large white satin streams and filled with choice Southern flowers shipped expressly for the occasion, the gift of the bride’s little niece in Louisiana. This presented a picture all too true of a typical Southern lassie. Some beautiful and costly gifts were sent them. The bride represents the creme a la creme of Creole society, who by her sweet, lovable disposition has endear- ed herself to many, besides having been a successful busines woman. Truly New Orleans loss will be our gain and the groom is to be congratu- lated upon having won such an estim- able lady. Mr. Cooper ranks as one of the most highly respected citizens of our city, a man of integrity and business tact of whom the race may feel justly proud, : Amid showers of rice and the pro- verbial old shoes the happly couple departed for their home, 3262 West Thirtieth street, with the best wishes of their many friends for a bon voy- age on life’s matrimonial sea. They will be at homé to friends after Sept. 10th. Denver News Jesse Stone continues very. ill Philip Lee of Millageville, Ga, a druggist, is in the city visiting his friend, Dr. Cantey R. J.

Philadelphia After Long Illness. The Rev. Dr. Henry T. Johnson, whose death occurred recently in Philadelphia, was editor of the Christian Recorder for seventeen years. His death was due to a complication of diseases which had been slowly sapping out his life for two years. Dr. Johnson was a native of South Carolina, where he was born fifty-three years ago. He was educated in the public schools, the State Normal school at Columbia, S. C.; the South Carolina university, Howard university at Washington and Lincoln university, Pennsylvania. He devoted himself to education and became the president of Slater college, where he remained until he became the editor of the Christian Recorder in 1892, succeeding Bishop B. F. Lee, who was elected bishop at that time. He was perhaps the youngest of any editor that the Recorder has had, but he was at the same time one of the best trained and experienced, which only added to his power. His editorials and his frank, independent policy made for him many friends. Impressive funeral services were held over the remains of Dr. Johnson at Mother Bethel A. M. E. church, Philadelphia, Bishop Wesley J. Gaines presiding. The sermon was preached by the venerable Bishop H. M. Turner of Atlanta, Ga., who two years ago entered into a compact with Dr. Johnson that the one who survived the other should preach the funeral sermon for the deceased. Others who took part in the services were Bishop W. H. Heard, Rev. I. N. Ross of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Washington; Rev. H. K. Spearman of the Macedonia A. M. E. church, Camden, of which the deceased was a member; Bishop J. S. Caldwell of the 1 REV. DR. H. T. JOHNSON. A. M. E. Zion church and Rev. N. S. P. Hood of the New Jersey conference. Bishop Tanner says of the deceased: "He was pre-eminently a man of the brain and of the heart. No readier writer did the church possess and no cleverer poet. Wake him up when you would and his pen was ready, and not his pen only, but his sword. There was not a cowardly drop of blood in his veins, made so by God himself. Some men fill their mission in the field of submission; others, if not in the field of blood, in the field that leads thereto. Of this last was Henry Theodore Johnston. "He knew nothing about submitting unless he was first convinced that it was right. Assured within himself, he would stand up against a host. How often has he manifested this spirit both in the church and in the state." EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS. Colorado Delegates Who Will Attend St. Louis Meeting Aug. 25.

Professor Tonsler is one of the ablest educators of his section of the state and won the highest esteem of the entire corps of teachers. Editor Rogers Contends For Adequate Recognition From Politicians. Speaking of the present political situation in Springfield, Ill., in so far as the Negro is concerned, Editor E. L. 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 indorse 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.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M.

CLASS LEGISLATION SCORED, Co-operation Along All Lines For Up- lift of the Masses Urged—Work of Anti-tuberculosis League Commend- ed—Teachers’ Institutes In the Rural Districts Recommended. By OCEA TAYLOR. The fourteenth annual meeting of the Hampton Negro conference recent- ly held at Hampton Normal and Agri- cultural institute, Hampton, Va., was an interesting event. A large number of farmers, educators, editors, plyst- cians and specialists were in attend- ance. The conference was presided over by Dr. H. B. Frissell, president of Hamp- ton institute. Dr. Frissell is an edu- eator of national reputation, and is intensely interested in the work of Hampton for the benefit of our people. He opened the meeting with a telling address, which sounded the keynote for the conference. He said that what we need is greater co-operation, and that this was a con- ference for co-operation—a sort of a “get together club.” At the conclusion of his address Dr. Frissell in introduce ing the first speaker, said: “One of the most beautiful things to me is the appointment by the state of a super visor of the colored schools. 1 do not think a better man could have been appointed than Supervisor Jackson Davis. He has demonstrated his love for all races, and he has also shown his ability as an educator.” Supervi sor Davis then spoke for a few mo “. e. ge , 5 a 0 sz’ # Be F ri ; | eM o , Re ‘ = a i ef. we a aaa t re eo , ed PRESIDENT H, 6, FRISSELL.

Ocea Taylor, editor of the Washington American, Wasbington, read a paper on “The Contribution of the Colored News- paper to the Progress of the Race.” The newspaper men who were pres- ent were highly gratified because of the recognition shown them and were enthusiastic over the general work of the conference. A most excellent paper on “The Ne- cessity and Value of a Medical Exam- ination and Selection of Insurance Risks” was read by Dr. William R. Ward of the Mutual Benefit Life In- surance company Various “round tables" were held That on “Woman's Work” was con ducted by Mrs, Harris Barrett, and that on “Insurance” by W. S. Dodd. Papers on different phases of insur- ance were read by C. C. Spaulding and B, L. Jordan. The agricultural round table was conducted by C. K. Graham. One session was Gevoted to the anti inberculosis leagues. Reports on this subject were made by Drs, C. P. Wer- tenbaker, G. Jarvis Bowens, Wilbur A. Drake and I. J. Matthews. These phy- sicians each reported for the league in his city, and the reports were full and romplete in every detail, This was one of the most successful meetings of the entire conference. The Virginia truck farm experiment station at Norfolk, Va, bas been very successful in solving many of the prob- lems of the truck farmer of Virginia. Mr. Johnson, who is in charge of this station, told of some of the things they had done and the results, and assured the colored farmers especially that If they visited the station they would be given any information they might de- sire. This was especially significant, as there had been some doubt on this point, Jesse E. Pope, expert special agent in the census office In Washington, also spoke on farming. Dr. Pope said he had attended various farmers’ con ferences, but had never seen a more {ntelligent lot of farmers than were assembled at Hampton, He then spoke of the relationship of the rural preach- Continued on page 10 POPS READ HERCACTOAOA SH DA D1 OF Ot OA SAGO Ot DOP OtO1Gtr® “A.

The strenuous effort being put forth by some Republicans to make of the United States senatorship an issue in the campaign this year is worthy of a better cause. In the first place only the hold-over state sena- tors elected this year will count in the senatorial election and they will be far outnumbered by the legislators chosen two years hence. Then, too, the senator-elect will hardly be so great a factor in national legislation that we should disregard all else. Yet we have the singular spectacle of Re- publicans practically threatening , to bolt the decision of the party as ex- pressed in its candidates and plat- form, unless this one matter is set- tled as these agitators wish. It makes no difference to them that the state needs other things. They want this cne. The why of the matter is easy. The United States senator disposes of the federal patronage, and not the honor of the position, nor the good they hope to do, is the motive of this un- timely agitation, but the spoils of of- fice. We regret to see even a small percentage of our party stoop so low that it shamelessly admits it is seek- ing the flesh pots. Even shame seems to be lost to them. We sincerely hope that the party as a whole will tell the malcontents to elect senators in sen- atorial years. This year Colorado ide STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. needs strong executive officers. It needs a legislature that will not have to try, try again. We are glad to’see a number of candidates planting their lightning rods for the senatorship and that they come out early is all right. But why so much unseemly clamor that one man must not run? The effort would be far better spent in finding out what the people of the state really wish done to make the best use of the pub- lic lands, what to do on railroad and public utility commissions and similar legislation. Let not the party degenerate into an assembly of pie hunters who like wolves would kill and eat each other. Mrs. Scott, wife of Rev. Scott, who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. L.

Mr. James Scott, who has been quite sick, is able to be around again. Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Miss Lena Morton and Mrs. Warren were in from Holbrook Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Grant, Mr. and Mrs. Winchester and Messrs, Ed Lane and Chas. Lenex went to Denver Saturday to help celebrate Railroad Day. Mr. Sims of Topeka stopped over in La Junta for a few hours last Thursday. Mr. Sims was en route to Colorado Springs, where his wife is spending the summer. Mrs. J. W. Winchester was the charming hostess of the Sewing Circle Friday. Both business and pleasure weré entered into heartily and Mrs. Winchester was voted an ideal hostess. The Hubbard Sewing Crele gave an old-fashioned dinner at the parsonage Tuesday night. The committee, with Mrs. Watson as president served a dinner that was thoroughly enjoyed by the good crowd attending. A neat sum was realized for the church. Another of the popular hayrack parties to Swink was enjoyed Monday night. Those enjoying the trip were: Mr. and Mrs. Lanson and Mrs. Petree, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Badgett, Mr. Coul- ter, Mr. Harry Scott, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Kiowa and Mrs. Gordon. The Misses Lida Starkey and An- thony Phelps, charming ladies of the younger set, gave a party Friday which was one of the most pleasant of the season. Games and music mingled with song and langhter and whiled the hours away until a late hour. A dainty luncheon was served in which the color scheme of the dec- orations was further carried out. The guests departed in the “wee sma” hours, carrying pleasant memories that will linger for many days. ACCOMODATIONS THAT DENVER OFFERS THE SICK --- The Statesman has been requested by a correspondent to tell her something about the accommodations in Denver for colored consumptives. On making several inquiries the editor learned that the accommodations are few, far apart, and very unsatisfactory. Since the correspondent is a constant reader it was thought best to answer through the columns of The Statesman. The list of rooming houses opening their doors to consumptives is not very large. In common with other people the roomers, who are well and are working, object to the presence of the unfortunate consumptives, and for the purpose of retaining the regular tenants admission is denied the consumptives. Some other houses do not refuse the consumptives. These usually contain one or two rooms that are small and badly ventilated and poorly lighted. The consumptives are not boarded and must go to the restaurants downtown. No matter how disagreeable the weather may be they must face it two or three times a day to get anything to eat. The food is generally not the kind that is best for them. In different parts of the city there are private families that receive these sick people. The housekeepers provide all the comforts and necessities that they are able to buy. The high cost of food products bears hard on these landladies and some are compelled to close their dining rooms, and let the rooms be occupied by these sick ones. This arrangement is detrimental to the improvement of the sick. Some families can manage by high charges to room and board these people as long as they have the money to pay the charges. This is good as long as the money holds out. Everyone knows that our visiting sick have limited means and come to Denver with the expectation that after a few weeks here they will be strong enough to find a job and earn a living. They soon find out that their recovery is a slow one and that their money is gone before they are able to work. And because so many have received credit at the hands of these housekeepers and have never paid anything, the experienced ones are no longer opening their doors to the consumptives. We almost forgot to say that the private hospitals and sanitoriums do not admit colored patients. They say that on account of the prejudice of their white patients they find it necessary to refuse colored. Some weeks ago a few of our colored men and women organized the Lincoln-Douglass Sanatorium. We have been told that they are trying to raise enough money from the citizens to purchase a suitable building where our consumptive sick may be properly housed and receive the hygienic and medical care that they should have in order to regain their health. We have been told that the Sanatorium will not be conducted for profit, but for the purpose of providing a home for the tubercular sick. We think the citizens should encourage this movement. We throw away enough money to build and maintain a dozen such institutions. There ought THE STATESMAN. DENVER. GRAND LABOR DAY BALL to be at least one institution in Denver whose doors will open to us. There ought to be one institution at least upon which we all could center our interest and expend our charity. We liberally support our churches and lodges; we do so mainly from a selfish motive; we are in a measure bigoted when it comes to our church and we rally to it somewhat as we come to the assistance of our family fireside. We contribute right along to our lodges because we expect the lodge to look after us when we are sick, and to bury us when we die. Our interest is a selfish one. We are narrow when it comes to contributing to a purely charitable object. We are always looking for the return of the "bread cast upon the water;" and if we should once or twice drop a few crumbs in a little puddle of water, we are hanging out of the windows daily expecting a baker's wagon full of bread to be dumped in our front yard. Every day we read in our daily papers about the whites giving concerts, picnics, charity balls and excursions to raise means for the benefit of an orphanage, a hospital, or a home for old women, or for fallen girls. What are we doing? Nothing. It does seem that we ought to widen out our borders a little and do something for the unfortunate of our people. It is said that the higher a race becomes in civilization the more it does for the orphans, the helpless aged, the poor sick, and the needy of all conditions. Judging our Denver colored citizens by this standard we have a long distance yet to go to be classed as a sacrificing people. If we would come to the rescue of the Lincoln-Douglass Sanatorium and stay with it as other people in Denver aid their institutions of similar character it would not be long before we would have a sanatorium that could provide room and bed and board for the scores of consumptives who come every year to our health-giving state. The Statesman invites its readers to send their contributions to our office, and will see to it that they reach the hands of the officers of the Lincoln-Douglass Sanatorium. They are Dr. P. E. Spratlin, president; Dr. W. A. Jones, vice-president; Chas. A. Clark, secretary, and Jordan S. White, treasurer.
