THE STATESMAN FRANKLIN'S PAPER TWENTY-FIRST YEAR PHYSICIANS HAD GREAT MEETING Medical Association's Annual Session Was Well Attended. EXPERTS IN THE PROFESSION The Twelfth Annual Session of the Organization Held In Washington Brought Together Many of the Most Noted Men of the Calling—Brilliant Social Features. The twelfth annual meeting of the National Medical association, which was held in Washington from Aug. 23 to 26, inclusive, brought together the cream of the profession from most every state in the Union. Among the members of the association present were graduates from some of the leading medical schools of the United States, many of whom have won a nation wide reputation for their P. skill and learning and whose unique success places them in a class which we might call "expert." The general committee on entertainment was composed of Dr. W. S. Lofton, chairman; Dr. Amanda V. Gray, secretary, and Dr. G. W. Cabaniss, treasurer. The ladies' committee was DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 3, 1910 headed by Dr. Abbie Mitchell, who was ably assisted by a number of other prominent women. Dr. John R. Francis did yeoman service as head of the publicity bureau, as did also Dr. A. M. Curtis as head of the surgical section. The public meeting on Tuesday evening was held at the Nineteenth Street Baptist church and was an overflow gathering. The chief social function of the week was a grand reception and dance, which was held in Convention hall, which accommodates 4,000 persons. Hamilton's orchestra of thirty pieces furnished the music, which was in every way pleasing. Among the physicians of the race whose achievements compare favorably with those of other races may be mentioned Dr. Nathan F. Mossell, the founder of the Frederick Douglass Hospital and Training school, Philadelphia. The hospital was founded in 1895 and for the past sixteen months has been quartered in a $100,000 home on Lombard street. Forty thousand dollars of this money was contributed by the race, and, though much has been given by white people, none has been secured except by the most careful and dignified methods. Dr. Mossell is a graduate of Lincoln university and the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. He was president of the medical association during 1907-8. Dr. John R. Francis of Washington has climbed steadily upward since his graduation from the University of Michigan in 1878. He was the first colored physician to operate a sanitarium. His office and its equipment are very valuable. Dr. Francis is chief obstetrician of the Freedmen's hospital and is a member of the board of trustees of Howard university. Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland of Newport, R. L., has achieved much success as an X ray specialist. He has just retired from the presidency of the National Medical association. Dr. W. A. Warfield is another physician who has achieved success since his graduation from Howard university in 1894. As surgeon in chief of the Freedmen's hospital, Washington, he has been unremitting in his efforts in helping to equip the new $50,000 home of the hospital. Dr. Daniel H. Williams of Chicago has won fame as a surgeon. He was the first man to successfully operate on the heart of a patient. Dr. Williams was formerly surgeon in chief of the Freedmen's hospital. As a successful surgeon Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington stands among the topnotchers. He is the head of the surgical section of the National Medical association and was formerly cnerief surgeon of the Freedmen's hospital. Dr. Willis G. Sterrs of Decatur. Ala., has a well equipped sanitarium and ranks among the most successful physicians of the south. NECESSITY FOR STRONG RACE ORGANIZATIONS. Now Is the Time to Check Opposition and Hostile Sentiment. We are convinced that the greatest need of colored Americans is actual organization for their constitutional rights. It cannot be said that colored Americans cannot organize. They have disproved this in business and in secret societies. But they have never organized thoroughly for their citizenship rights. A strong tide of opposition, of hostile sentiment, cannot be stayed or overcome by any race without organized resistance to it. That is the real reason why, in spite of increase of education, of property, of business, etc., colored Americans, though native born, have the least rights of any race or class of citizens in this country. The race must learn to appreciate the need of citizenship and must organize generally against the loss of their rights and do it before it is too late or we shall all be made more and more political outcasts and social pariahs. A few colored men at great sacrifice and cost have formed and are keeping up national organizations for equal rights. The National Independent Political league is an example. Will the race take hold for their own good now and form local leagues in every community? Now is the crucial time. Bishop Clinton Overconfident. It is consensus of opinion expressed by many persons who are deemed capable of so doing that Bishop Clinton overstepped his authority at the recent meeting of the National Negro Business league in New York when he told Colonel Roosevelt that if the time ever comes when he should be called into service as an elective the Negroes would vote for him to a man. We are of the opinion that it takes a shrewder politician than the good bishop to deliver the Negro vote of the country to any man or political party. Fund For Industrial Home. By the terms of the will of the late E. J. Falen, who died recently in Baltimore, $15,000 is eft for the purpose of founding an industrial home in southern Maryland for colored children. FIVE CENTS A COPY SOLDIERS PRAISED. "There come the soldiers!" This was the remark of Colonel Roosevelt in the reviewing stand Monday when Corporal White Camp of colored Spanish War Veterans came down Broadway. Only twenty men were there, but the gallant colonel paid them the signal honor of pointing them out as real sons of Mars, tried and true and never found wanting. Coming to salute he beheld them, the representatives of the black regiments whose heroic charge saved his life and his regiment at El Caney, and impulsively paid them the greatest compliment that heart could pour forth. Negroes who watched their few defenders of the flag, were thrilled to think that these men, in their valor and devotion to their soldier's duty, had wrung from the envious lips of whites praise as high as has ever in the history of men been given to any soldiers. In their swinging stride there was all the consciousness of duty done on a hundred battlefields. The ambuscades of Indians, the forays of Spaniards and Filipinos had tried their courage and proven them men in all that achievement can. Then, too, they could look back on a thousand years of glorious memories of their father's deeds, from the days when Hannibal, with his black cavalry, penned up mighty Rome within its walls down to a generation ago when the world paused in admiration over the desperate charges the American Negroes made at Port Hudson and Petersburg. Indeed "there come the soldiers." One enlistment men and grizzled veterans retired, all were worthy of Roosevelt's special recognition. National Meeting J. D. Harkless and Mrs. O. T. Jackson, who were appointed special representatives of the State Bureau of Immigration to extend an invitation to the National Negro Educational Congress, held in St. Louis, Missouri, August 25th, 26th and 27th, to hold the next annual congress in Colorado, telegraphed the governor's office that the convention had been secured for 1911. This important conference will attract 10,000 of our leading Negroes from all over the Union. The governor will be asked to appoint a committee and arrangements will be begun at once for the convention, which will be supported by the merchants and commercial organizations of the state. This office is prepared to do all kinds of job printing. Estimates furnished. It is the only race enterprise of its kind operating, and if you desire its service call phone Main 7905.

Get our prices and you will see that difference. were roundly condemned for speaking out against laws which discriminated against us, especially our wives and daughters. We were told that our agitation was doing more harm than good and that we ought to cease it. Our advisers had forgotten the fact that with oppressed people agitation had been the watchword of the centuries and was the chief agency in bringing about great reforms. It was agitation on the part of Luther and his associates that brought about the reformation of the Christian church. It was agitation on the part of the barons of England against King James that forced him to grant to the people of England the Magna Charta. It was agitation on the part of the Revolutionary fathers that roused the colonists to arms and which resulted in American independence. It was agitation on the part of the abolitionists that aided in bringing about the civil war, which resulted in our emancipation. But in the face of these facts of history we were howled down, assured that if we should cease our agitation things would get better. There was a cessation in our agitation, and instead of things growing better they grew steadily worse. Derelictions of the Republican Party. The Republican party, our erstwhile friend, seeing that it was popular to take a fling at the Negro notwithstanding that the Negro had been its most faithful ally, proceeded to give him an additional blow by eliminating him from the councils of the Republican party. It started at the county conventions, and this was followed by the state conventions, and finally the Negro was eliminated from the national committee, on which he had served since 1868. This is elimination with a vengeance. Shades of Lincoln, Grant, Sumner and Stephens, what a departure on the part of the Republican party from its original principles! At this juncture the Hon. William Howard Taft came upon the scene. He was hailed as a second Lincoln, a real friend of the race, and as the best evidence of this fact it was asserted that he came from old abolitionist stock. Of course that was supposed to be a sufficient guarantee of the genuineness of his friendship. PETER B. BURKE Many of us did not see it in that light, and we so expressed ourselves. We were not deceived with his broad smiles and beautiful platitudes concerning the progress of the race. We beautiful platitudes REV. S. L. COR- concerning the progress of the race. We ROTHERS. saw in his attitude on the question of the dismissal of the 167 brave black boys from the United States army, $ \bullet $ tements made in his Greensboro (N. C.) speech, that if he was a friend he was a misguided one. However, his election to the presidency came on apace, and with much misgivings we waited to see what the outcome would be. We did not have to wait very long before we were confirmed in the opinion that the Hon. William Howard Taft was not a real friend of the Negro. Our belief in this fact was confirmed when in his inaugural address he indorsed the disfranchisement laws of the south by saying, "The tendency of southern legislation today is toward the enactment of electoral qualifications which shall square with the fifteenth amendment." We are aware that just the opposite of this statement is true. Independents Not Democrats. The National Independent league is a body of Negroes who love their race above party and who are willing to vote with any party if by doing so they can permanently advocate the political interests of the race. As to myself, I would vote for the devil if I thought it would help my race in the end. The time has come when the truckling sycophants and time servers should stand aside and let men who are prepared and willing to do so fight the battles of the race without having their motives impugned. There are colored men who talk and act as if the Republican party was a thing too sacred to be criticised by black men. And if we dare to do so we are denounced by the sycophants and shortsighted as traitors to the best interests of our race. We are declared to be unsafe leaders, dangerous radicals. And we are thus abused in the face of the fact that the Republican party has acquiesced in the disfranchisement of its black allies in seven southern states. Not one thing has been done by the Republican party to aid the Negroes to regain the franchise in the states where they have been robbed of it. Pray tell me what Republican president has organized. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. his attorney general to lessen francnlsement or the south? On the other hand, when we have taken this matter into the courts we have always been turned down on some technicality of the law. Even a Republican supreme court has always found a way to evade handing down a decision in our favor notwithstanding the amendments to the federal constitution say that the right to vote shall not be denied citizens of the United States on account of their color, creed or previous condition of servitude. Negro Bankers Elect Officers. The newly elected officers of the National Negro Bankers' association are W. R. Pettiford of Birmingham, Ala., president; R. G. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., vice president; John W. Strauther of Greenville, Miss., second vice president; S. S. Brown of Memphis, Tenn., secretary, and R. W. Howard of Jackson, Miss., corresponding secretary. SOUTHERN EDUCATOR ON PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO. The Race Is Advancing, but Needs to Be Moralized. The Rev. Pitt Dillingham, principal of the Calhoun school, Alabama, is quoted in a recent publication as having said regarding the progress of the Negro: "Even now the Negro is progressing marvelously in education and in the ownership of farm land, 'for corn is no respecter of races.'" What the Negro just now especially needs, it was pointed out, is to be moralized and trained in habits of thrift. "The less politics there is in it the better. The problem is mainly sociological. The best we can probably make out of it is a dual civilization—the separation of the races and progress along parallel lines." It would have been more manly on the part of the Rev. Mr. Dillingham if he had said in giving his advice in regard to morality that what the two races need just now are chastity and morality. We would most respectfully call Mr. Dillingham's attention to the large number of mulattoes throughout the south and ask him the cause of their presence among us in such large numbers. The rest of the reverend gentleman's opinion is not worth the attention of an intelligent comment. The Baker Street Car Heater. The friction heater invented by C. S. Baker for street cars is said to be one of the best which has so far been put upon the market. Mr. Baker is an Afro-American and has spent much time and money perfecting his new invention. He has contracted with the street car companies of Chicago to furnish 4,600 heaters for their cars beginning with the winter season. The annual clambake of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 1, will mark the beginning of the fall work of the entertainment committee of the association. Church Preparing For New Regime. The Colored Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn is making great preparations for the coming of its new pastor, the Rev. Dr. William M.

CHICAGO BASEBALL CRAZY. The colored people of Chicago are going wild over the big games that are being played by Leland Giants and Chicago Giants, who are both running neck and neck for the great flag called the penant. CONGO KID GETS A STREAK. Young Kid Bruce of Denver was to have fought Congo Kid last Thursday night a week ago, in Cheyenne, in a six-round contest. Congo Kid gets a yellow streak and wouldn't even enter the ring. Kid Bruce will fight any lightweight in the state for a side bet of $500. Address the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club, 2014 Champa street. Denver. FIDDLER AND SHELTON. The one great colored team of the country is that of Fiddler & Shelton. They are playing the largest circuits in the world, and will tour this country and abroad this season in highclass vaudeville. THE FIGHTERS OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY. Do men fight as well today as they did yesterday or some 15 or 20 years ago. I will say like little George Dixon, Peter Jackson, Jim Mace and Joe Gans and many others. No. In my estimation the men that fought those days in time had not the so-called yellow streak that is found in many of the mitt artists of today, and when men fought years ago they fought as if their lives depended on that fight and they took more punishment than seemed possible for a human. Do they do that nowadays? Not much. The fighter of today, or the majority of them, have as much yellow in themselves as can be found in a dog of that color. But we can say this much, the men of yesterday were not near so clever as the fighters of today. And in my opinion the negro makes the best fighter of the world's big nations. The negro is the greatest defense fighter and best ring general and on the whole he will be champion in all classes of that art. In a very short time there will be no white champions, but everything will be a black man's kingdom with a golden crown. We as a race of people can beat the world at anything if only given a chance. THE CRACKS OF THE R. M. A. CLUB. As we travel down the line of fun, pleasure and amusement, we will stop at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club and look some of the boys over. This club without a doubt is one of the swellest in the West and it is equipped with everything that makes pleasure. At this club you will find one of the swellest bars in the city and there is the library and the card room and the billard and pool room, the barber shop, all kinds of baths, the gymnasium and the 18 fine sleeping rooms and many other things that make life worth living. Mr. Tyndall Graves is the champion Indian club PAGE.12 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. swinger and Mr. W. Spatts is about the best bag puncher of the club. The members all take great interest in the gymnasium. If you are not a member now is the time, men, to come and join. The management is par, 100. The members sociable and gentlemanly, so why not be at home with the boys of the great Rocky Mountain Athletic Club. JACK JOHNSON SIGNS FOR 30 WEEKS AT $90,000. Can you beat it? Not so bad. The president of the United States can't beat it, but Jack is getting the big sum of $90,000 for working a little more than half a year. THE STROLL OF CHICAGO. Things in and about Chicago are on the upward road in the line of show business. There are four colored theaters and two more will be added in the near future as Chicago managers can't book all of the actors and actresses that are now in that city. On people for a theater in Denver. SAM LANGFORD AND TOMMY BURNS NEXT BIG BATTLE ON. It seems as though Langford kind a got in bad a few weeks ago by not fighting Al Kaufman and things are not looking so good for Sam in this country. But Hugh McIntosh, the Australian promoter, has come to his rescue and chances are that Mr. McIntosh will be able to stage Langford and Burns in London the latter part of December. SOME THAT WE HEAR VERY LITTLE OF. It's strange but true we never hear of the people who have made millions laugh, such as Bobbie Kemp, the great comedian, and Ada Overton Walker, at one time the cleverest negro woman dancer in the world, and the star actress of the late Williams & Walker Co. And there's the three Mitchells, the great vaudeville favorites, and Harry Craton & Co. are so far away that it takes a long time to hear from them. They are in Australia. Well, it is hoped that they will all make their appearances in the coming season. They were all good. A MONUMENT FOR JOE GANS. All of the Eastern and Western sports and followers of the late and great colored prizefighter, Joe Gans, are contemplating a world-wide subscription for the erection of a monument in honor of Joe Gans, who died lately of the white plague at his home in Baltimore. Well he is a man who should be long remembered. He was king of them all, the only man in the world who ever lost the championship and then regained the same back again. Most assuredly so he should have a monument. MISS HELEN BELLE JONES, THE SOUTHERN SONG BIRD. Miss Jones of New Orleans will make her debut as a soprano songstress the middle of this month at the Melville theater in that city. Miss Jones has been abroad two years and will be a great success as a singer with the right kind of management. CARLISLE AND BAKER. Everybody knows George Carlisle and George Baker as the two prime American Negro pianists and singers. They will be at the Majestic the first week in October, with their latest compositions and great song hits. National Texas Purchase Move- ment Launched in Baltimore. The baneful race prejudice in the United States and the hardships and disadvantages under which the colored people have labored since their emancipation are the primary causes for the existence of the national Texas purchase movement. The organization had its beginning in the fertile mind of the Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson, pastor of the Union Baptist church, Baltimore. Dr. Johnson has always been on the firing line of the battlefield when the interests of the race required his services. He has probably done more than any one man to blaze the way for the colored Baptists of the United States to do their work without being dependent upon the white Baptists of the denomination for guidance. He is the author of the "Nations From a New Point of View," a collection of essays which state convincingly the social side of important questions. The outline and constitution of the Texas purchase movement are in part as follows: The National Texas Purchase Movement association is organized for the specific purpose of bringing about a permanent settlement between the colored people and this government. We are told that we are burdensome to the government, and such talk is a reflection upon the moral stamina of our race, whose conduct for loyalty and justice has attracted the admiration of the civilized world. But the inordinate, extravagant and unreasonable conduct of the government toward its colored citizens called forth indignation and resentment among us, necessitating the formation of this association, whose final objects are independence and free government—a government that will perpetuate liberty, friendship and justice; a republic which believes in patriotism, honesty, sobriety and integrity. These virtues are the cornerstones of our association, and upon them the structure will be reared, imparting lessons of thrilling interest and lasting benefits to the race. The association believes in patriotism, which is one of the noblest attributes of man. It is the soul of freedom, the fulcrum of liberty and the lever of independence. Thus we want a republic which soars sublimely above self and aims at glorious ends; a republic which is opposed to all oppression, abhors all tyrants and rejoices in the promulgation of liberal principles; a republic where no monarch suppresses and no obstacle paralyzes it. This is the purpose of this association. The question has been asked. Would it not be better for us to hold territorial affiliation with the United States? We answer the question by saying that territorial affiliation would not effect any permanent settlement between the government and us, for we would be subject to all of its laws and rulings, and we would find ourselves in the same predicament as we are now. We want a republic whose citizens will assist its officers in vindicating its constitution, preserving and perpetuating civil and religious liberty and raising a flag under which we will gladly labor, live and die for the eter nal rights and liberties of man. No alternative is left us but the formation of a republic or our continual humiliation by this government and the ruin of ourselves, our families and our posterity. We are going forth in confidence to secure the peace and safety of our race. We believe that "union of forces, unity of thought, unity of purpose and plan and vigilant action" will preserve the republic after it is formed. Our association is perpetuating the virtues of love, purity and truth, with all of their concomitants of affection and cordial devotion which one citizen should sustain to another, and a devotion which carries in its compassionate embrace undying principles and cohesive veneration that can never be tarnished by dishonor, but grows more luminous when righteousness is sought and becomes more glorious when justice is established. We submit this outline and constitution, hoping that it will appeal to your patriotism, honesty, sobriety and integrity. If you differ, grant us the same ground; if you agree, then all right, but we at least hope that it will be seen in the spirit of fairness that we are trying to uphold and preserve the integrity of our race. Texas as a Country. The plan is that the president of the United States in his message to congress recommend the purchase of Texas from the people of the state with all that it has—with its entire outfit, including stock and crops—and to sell it to the Negro race and give it 100 years in which to repay the government. Second.-The formation of a provisional government in Texas of the 800,000 colored people now there. This provisional government is to be of a temporary nature, only to serve until the purchase and transfer are made. The remainder of the race is to move to Texas in due time, and then at the proper time a permanent government can be formed. Texas is adapted for this purpose for a hundred and one reasons. It is the best adapted place for our national residence and home that can be found on this continent in climate, fertility and accessibility. It is the largest state in the Union. It has 262,290 square miles, and it has a coast line of 400 miles. After speaking of the immense resources of Texas the outline discusses the proposed acquisition of Texas from a legal standpoint and declares that Texas can be reduced to a territory, as it was just before the reconstruction period, and then put in the hands of the Negro race by the government after its inhabitants have been adequately paid for their holdings. The movement was commended to the public at the recent meeting of the National Independent Political league held in Atlantic City, N. J. The headquarters of the movement are located at 424 West Biddle street Baltimore, where any information concerning the movement will be cheerfully furnished. The officers of the association are: Rev. James A. Fry, president; Rev. J. H. Taylor, B. D., vice president; Rev. W. J. Winston, secretary; Rev. R. D. Johnson, assistant secretary; Rev. J. H. Taylor, B. D., treasurer; board of managers, Rev. Harvey Johnson, D. D., LL. D., chairman; Rev. George W. Carrington, B. D.; Rev. D. R. Page, Rev. R. W. Eubanks, Rev. E. T. Newman, D. D.; Rev. R. Parker, Rev. W. J. Winston, B. D., secretary. CONVENTION OF NEGRO EDITORS National Negro Press Association Holds Big Meeting. WELCOMED BY J. H. ANDERSON Members of the Profession From Many Sections of the Country Attended Second Annual Session In New York. Duty of Negro Journals to Lead In Racial Advancement. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The morning and afternoon sessions of the second annual meeting of the National Negro Press association was held in the Metropolitan building, New York, on Tuesday, Aug. 16. The evening session was held at St. Cyprian P. E. church on Sixty-third street. The meeting was called to order by James H. Anderson, editor of the Amsterdam News, New York. In bidding the editors and correspondents welcome to the city Mr. Anderson said: "You will find New York a very pretty place. Here you may come in contact with the best and most helpful influences of journalism. We have here the best typographers and most finished reporters. "The great need of Negro journalism in this country," he said, "is affiliation with some great association which distributes news, such as the Associated Press. "If we prove that we mean business," he continued, "I have no doubt that the day will come when many of us will have an Associated Press franchise. "You will find the press of this city cordial and courteous in its treatment of race questions. It is true that we do things that deserve condemnation, and the newspapers here condemn us. On the other hand, they do not withhold commendation when it is due us. "There are times when we are caricatured and ridiculed, but I will not say that is not generally our own fault. Prejudice does exist here. It could not be otherwise when you consider that in this city every nation is represented, and as a consequence we must feel what I may term a combination of prejudice. "Our duty should be to lead in the advancement of the Negro race. We can mold sentiment, white sentiment as well as colored, and I feel that in these causes we should be systematically aggressive. The white press appreciates intelligent aggressiveness and is more impressed by it than by indecision and lack of definite policy." After Mr. Anderson's address President R. W. Thompson outlined the program for the day and introduced N. Barnett Dodson, editor of the AfroAmerican page of the American Press Association, who told in a brief way how the service began and the manner in which it is supplied to editors and publishers. M. M. Lewy, editor of the Florida Sentinel; Paul H. Bray of the Yonkers (N. Y.) Standard, Rev. Mr. Byrd of the THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Rochester (N. Y.) Sentinel, Horace D. Slatter, F. F. Johnson of Baltimore, C. W. Singleton of the Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise, N. D. Brascher of the Cleveland (O.) Journal, Rev. T. S. Boone of the Atlantic City (N. J.) Messenger, Dr. Jackson of the Dallas (Tex.) Express, Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan of Louisville, Ky., and Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee, Ala., were among the other speakers at the morning session. Editors from twenty-five states were present, and the sessions of the convention were marked by earnestness and enthusiasm. President Thompson's annual address was received with hearty approval. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, Miss Geraldine Troutman of Paris, Ill., and Miss Irene L. Moorman of Brooklyn took an active part in the proceedings of the convention. Charles Stewart of the Associated Press gave some of his experience as a newspaper correspondent in the south and west, where he contributes largely to the white dailies as well as to our own weekly papers. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, M. M. Lewy, editor of the Florida Sentinel, Pensacola, Fla.; vice president, N. D. Brascher, Cleveland, O.; recording secretary, Horace D. Slatter, Hopkinsville, Ky.; corresponding secretary, R. W. Thompson, Thompson's National News bureau, Washington; treasurer, Dr, L. G. Jordan, Louisville. LABOR PROBLEM OF THE NEW SOUTH IN DANGER. Evil Effects of Disgruntled Foreign Workmen In the North. While the south is clamoring for immigrants it should not forget the experience the north has had with the adopted anarchist, the direct product of European immigrants, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. The attempted assassination of Mayor Gaynor of New York is a conspicuous example of what foreign labor is doing for the north. Very frequently the politicians and the radical newspapers create a deal of excitement and stir up bad feeling against the Negro, at which time the whole south is willing to swap the faithful, humble and loyal black man for the outcasts of Europe. For nearly 300 years the Negro has been a part of the south's population and practically the south's whole dependence for labor, and we have yet to have a public official assassinated at the hands of a black man. The south has the best class of laborers in the world-laborers who never create strikes or other industrial disturbances, who have an abiding faith in and a lasting friendship for the southern white man. Will the south out of blind prejudice supplant this labor class with the disgruntled driftings of Europe? This is the danger that confronts the new south. Colored Republicana All Smiles. The fact that both Republicans and Democrats attended the annual field day of the Colored Republican club of New Rochelle, N. Y., held at Pelham Bay park, New York, on Aug. 25, has aroused the suspicion of many of the leaders on both sides to renewed activity. Each side is very friendly, and the members of the club are all smiles TRINIDAD, COLO. The Baptists are to erect a new church. This will be the first colored Baptist church ever erected in Las Animas county. This handsome edifice, which will be known as St. Paul's Baptist church, and will occupy a space 31 feet by 50 feet on University street and will cost $4,000 when completed and furnished. Excavation will begin Wednesday and the building operations will continue with good speed. C. M. Williams of this city has been awarded the contract. The new church will be erected after the modern plan and contain a spacious basement for church meetings, socials, etc. The Rev. J. B. Bell, general district missionary for Arizona and New Mexico, who has been in the city for some time, is in charge of the campaign of church building. A subscription list is being circulated by him and the plan is to raise 3$,000 among the citizens of Trinidad and the Home Mission board will contribute the remaining $1,000. There has been a generous response so far. Sunday was their first rally day and they were successful in raising $1,220.40. By the efforts of Rev.

GUESS. Lucas Sues A Boise, Idaho, daily paper states: Because of an article published in the Denver Express last June, Dr. Lucas left for Denver and on Aug. 12, through his attorney, John T. Bottom, filed suit in the federal court against that paper for $30,000 damages for cas was a deliverer of "immoral lectures" and that he was arrested in and driven out of Denver. Dr. Lucas libel. The article stated that Dr. Lusays: "It's very strange that I have no recollection of being guilty of such conduct nor do I remember of being jailed in or driven from Denver and that the records will show such if it is true. You remember when I appeared before the city council here last year proclaiming my innocence of being arrested in Denver and I was confronted with a letter from Chief Armstrong of Denver to Chief Reeves of Boise, even stating therein that I was arrested in Denver and still I said that it was untrue and this libel case will prove my position."

We invite our sister churches to attend the meetings. Mrs. Ramsey is a powerful speaker and if you come and hear her you will not be disappointed. There will be three services Sunday. Come out and hear this strong evangelist. The prayer meeting held during the past week have toned up the church spiritually. Now for a great battle against wickedness. The district conference voted to go to Colorado Springs next year. The Rev. W. R. Stephens is the pastor there. He and his excellent wife gave a literary and musical program at the First M. E. church to a very large audience of both races. A silver offering of $45.00 was given the People's M. E. church. The Rev. Stephens has just finished his course at Gammon School of Theology. The mother of the Misses Della and Ida Williams is in the city. Mrs. Williams hails from the Crescent City—New Orleans. Mrs. Dora E. Wallace has been slightly indisposed during the past week but is better at this writing. The Revs. Holmes and Rice filled the pulpit very acceptably during the pastor's absence at the district conference. We urge the parents to send their children on time to the Sunday school. We invite the cooperation of the older members of the church. Buy lots where they are cheap and wait for the increase, which is sure to come.

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.

PAGE. & NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETS Palm Garden Was Like a Great Commercial Emporium. DELEGATES FROM EVERY STATE Strong Plea Made For Adequate Support of Negro Journals—Race Can Become a Great Power For Usefulness if Banded Together, Says Booker T. Washington In Annual Address. The eleventh annual meeting of the National Negro Business league, which was held at Palm Garden, New York, from Aug. 17 to 19, inclusive, was attended by the largest number of business men and women since its organization. Among the distinguished men in public life who delivered addresses the first day were the Hon. George A. McAneny, president of the borough of Manhattan; the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Second district of New York, [Name] DR. B. T. WASHINGTON. Hon. J. C. Dawcy and ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, who addressed the meeting on the closing day. Dr. Washington's annual address, which was listened to with marked attention throughout its delivery, was in part as follows: Before uttering a single sentence regarding any other subject I wish to express the deep obligation which the National Negro Business league is under to the Negro press of the United States for the generous and unfailing interest which it has taken in this and in previous meetings of this organization. Were it not for the generous space given to the affairs of this organization in the form of editorials and news items without question and without cost it would have been impossible for it to have attained to its present degree of success. Let no one doubt or question in the future the value and influence of the Negro newspaper. Though it may be a seemingly small and insignificant sheet with a limited circulation. As each delegate and visitor to this league returns to his home I hope he will carry with him a resolve that in the fu- ture he will see to it that his local Negro newspaper has his hearty support and cooperation. It is a serious matter to bring from all parts of our country as many men and women as are present at this meeting of the league. Each one has come here at considerable cost in time and money. These meetings will fail of their purpose unless each individual comes here with a serious purpose, comes not only with the idea of getting out of each meeting that which will improve him as an individual, but even more important, that which he can take back and use for the betterment of his own community. But to the text I have chosen, "To him that hath shall be given." These lines spoken by the Master strike the keynote for individual success and equally so for racial success. The chief object of the National Business league is to teach the Negro the value of the opportunities that he possesses as well as the value of the opportunities that are before him. Let us convince the world that we have opportunities and are conscious of them and more opportunities will come to us—more openings for our growth will appear. "To him that hath shall be given" is the law of life. On the other hand, if the world becomes convinced that we have no opportunities, that there is no future before us, despair and death will follow, and the opportunities that we have will disappear. The world is interested in the man who is succeeding. The world is interested in a race that is succeeding. In the United States there are 10,000,000 Negroes, and there is a normal increase. Ten millions of people living under the same government, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, with the same history back of them, of the same color, with varying shades of difference; united, banded together, moving in the same direction, can be made a great power for usefulness and righteousness. Ten millions of people mean a population larger than the whole population of Canada, nearly as large as that of the republic of Mexico. We have as many colored people in the United States as there are inhabitants in Norway, Sweden and Switzerland combined. I repeat that one of the objects of the National Negro Business league is to emphasize among ourselves and before the world that which we possess in the way of actual ownership and in opportunity. "To him that hath shall be given." The world today seeks the Japanese, it seeks the Canadian, it seeks the Jew in New York, it seeks the white man in Oregon, in Alaska and in the southern states to pour into their laps riches, more opportunities, because they possess something and because they emphasize their possessions. I do not overlook the wrongs and injustices inflicted upon the Negro, nor do I excuse them or lightly pass over them, but we as a race will find that we will get what we are entitled to as American citizens more by emphasizing and seizing our opportunities than by advertising our difficulties and troubles overmuch, for from him that hath shall be taken away even that which he seems to have. 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.

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."

The business sessions were filled with interest and P. M. especially noted for the harmony which prevailed in the deliberations. The public meetings were crowded, and the people were enthusiastic and applauded the different speakers to the echo as they declared for equal rights, according to law; a free ballot for all citizens of the republic and N. B. MARSHALL. the republic and no compromise with the enemies of freedom and liberty. With the appointment of a campaign committee of nine members, to meet in Washington Wednesday, Sept. 28, the league made its first step in the work for the great campaign which it will wage in the congressional elections to be held this fall. The organization has done much good in creating public sentiment in favor of the enfranchisement of the race in all parts of the United States. Among those who spoke on special subjects were Professor W. E. B. DuBois, on "Voting;" Rev. J. Milton Waldron, on "Why Colored Men Should Be Independent In Voting;" F. H. Warren, Esq., on "History of Political Independence." N. B. Marshall, Esq., junior counsel for the soldiers, reviewed all the Brownsville inquiries and made amazing revelations of attempted intimidation, unfairness, partiality, improper proposals, protection of perjured government witnesses, etc., by Recorder of the Court Howland and said this would be exposed in the next congress. Many Ohioans, said he, are clamoring for Foraker's return to the senate next March. W. F. S. Cook, son of Captain Cook, who was hanged with John Brown; Dr. J. L. Johnson of Ohio, who commended Governor Harmon; William E. Walling of New York, executive chairman of the National Association For the Welfare of the Colored People, who said his organization simply wanted to help colored organizations and that the labor classes were moving for political independence, and J. M. Summers, Esq., of Ohio were other speakers. President Walters in his annual address, which was attentively listened to by the vast audience, said in part: THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. We have assembled in convention to retrospect our political successes and failures and to note especially the cause of our failures in order to avoid political blunders in the future. It must be apparent to all that politically we have fallen upon evil times. While some of us are somewhat cast PETER JOHN HARRIS PRESIDENT A. WALTERS. down, we are not in despair. I believe that there is sufficient wisdom in our race to devise a plan by which we may retrieve our losses and finally reach the coveted goal. I am of the opinion that it was lack of courage on our part that caused us some years ago to change from an aggressive to a passive policy. It was a surrender of principle to expediency on the presumption that things political for the Negro would right themselves, an idea contrary to experience and facts of history. We seemed to have forgotten that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Our surrender gave us a setback from which it will require years to recover. Indeed for more than a quarter of a century things have gone from bad to worse until today our political status is not as good as it was in 1875. We have reached low water mark largely because we failed to do all within our power to resist the encroachments of our enemies at the beginning of their onslaughts on our political and civil rights. We were deceived and deluded by those who affirmed that the white people of the south were our best friends, blind to the things going on around us detrimental to our best interests. Disfranchisement. Disfranchisement laws were enacted which in theory affected white men and black men alike, but which in their practical operation affected black men only. This was the intention of the framers of these unjust laws. Notwithstanding these laws struck at the very foundation of our political citadel, political equality, which spells real citizenship, we made but feeble resistance against them. We are told by our misguided friends that it was a good thing for the race and that such enactments would prove a help rather than a hindrance. Our enemies, seeing that we were dull of apprehension, unable to appreciate the boon conferred upon us by the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution, became emboldened and proceeded a step further. Separate Car Laws. Not satisfied with practically decitizenizing us, the south, which we had been told was our best friend, in order to put a brand of inferiority upon the race and to sink it in the very lowest depths of humiliation proceeded to enact jimcrow car laws. To these iniquitous laws we made but feeble resistance. Notwithstanding that we were stripped of our rights and exposed to shame and ridicule before the whole world, our misguided friends informed us that the treatment was wholesome and that we ought not to oppose such legislation which was made for our special on page 10 A.

You can also vote on the amendment to the constitution as to initiative and referendum. You can vote for Republicans or Democrats, insurgents and standpatters. In fact this fall you can vote on so many kinds of things, that it behooves you to get busy reading now. The fellow whose opinions are so high and holy, probably has an ax to grind and wants you to volunteer to turn the wheel. Do your own thinking when the time comes to vote and prepare yourself now by reading up. Ignorance is a crime in a person having the right to vote. The American nation deserves to fail if its high ideals do not receive intelligent study and support from the majority of voters. The year for the A. M. E. churches of the city is drawing to a close. The ministers, Rev. Ward of Shorter and Rev. Williams of Campbell church are making extra efforts to keep high the standard of the conference work as they have done of their church work. We have from time to time recorded the advancement in these two churches and our readers looking back on these steps upward, will see good reason why the ministers deserve the loyal support of the public at large now that the end is near. Not a church in the whole Episcopal district has made more signal advancement than has Campbell church in the last few years. It has not been so long since that its success was despaired of. Now it is one of the strong churches which does what it sets out to do. No praise of words can say for the pastor what these deeds show. So with Shorter also, the great church of the connection in this section. Material progress has kept pace with spiritual and numerical growth and now that these shepherds of the flock are to make an accounting, they deserve the help and encouragement of everyone. Churches in general are the one haven to which the unfortunate turn when all other aids are gone. In return for this they deserve support from non-church-going as well as Christian people. Beginning with the first Sunday in September, the People's Sunday Alliance will hold regular meetings at its usual time, 4 p. m., Sundays, 1712 Curtis., As has been the custom of this organization for a number of years, the Alliance will keep in close touch with interests of our people of this community. Regular programs will be arranged by the board of directors and published in the next week's issue of our local paper. Some matters of importance to the community are now under advisement by this organization and all citizens are asked to give their presence and moral support. W. A. JONES, President. R. J.

The ceremony took place at the seat of the recent district conference which met at Manhattan, Kans., with the Rev. J. N. Wallace, her pastor, officiating. Four other divines helped to tie the knot. The marriage took place at the beautiful residence of Prof. E. C. Freeman, principal of the Manhattan public school. Mrs. Dawson will be greatly missed from Scott's church as she was a faithful worker. Her husband, who is very congenial, is the pastor of the M. E. church at Alma and Waubaunsee.
