FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN TWENTY-FIRST YEAR LIVELY TIME FOR ODD FELLOWS Large Attendance Expected at Coming Meeting In Baltimore. NEW OFFICERS TO BE CHOSEN Citizens of the Oriole City Are Making Elaborate Arrangements For the Entertainment of Delegates and Visitors to the Biennial Session of the Order. Who Will Be Grand Master? By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Great preparations are being made by the citizens of Baltimore for the entertainment of the fifteenth biennial movable committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, which will be held in Baltimore from Monday, Sept. 12, to Saturday, Sept. 17, inclusive. The Baltimore lodges of the order have appointed a committee of arrangements, of which Councilman Harry S. Cummings is chairman. This committee will look after the comforts and needs of the visitors. It is estimated that the number of delegates and visitors will exceed 6.000. The secretary of the committee, Jesse L. D. Nicholas, district grand secretary for Maryland, has been busily engaged at headquarters, 1540 West Biddle street, arranging for what will probably be the greatest session in the history of the order. William McCard, a successful lawyer of Baltimore, is chairman of the entertainment section of the committee. The session will open at Sharp Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal church on Monday, Sept. 12, at 10 a. m. Addresses of welcome will be delivered by Governor Crothers, Mayor Mahool of Baltimore, Councilman Cummings and others. Responses will be made by Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia and other men of note from in and out of town. In the evening Patriarchie No. 1 will drill at Center Market hall, where all of the business sessions will be held. Along with the Odd Fellows will be 700 members of the Household of Ruth, the women's section of the order, and 200 members of the Past Grand Masters' council and the Patriarchie. Through the generosity of the mayor and city council of Baltimore the Cen- DENVER, COLORADC, SATURDAY, SEPT. 10, 1910 M. ter Market hall has been given over for the session, and $400 has been appropriated for the illumination of Druid Hill avenue from Biddle street to Lafayette avenue, a distance of five blocks. The outing down Chesapeake bay will be made in the iceboat Latrobe, which has been granted for that purpose. Other social features will include an excursion and crab feast to Brown's grove and a big ball and reception at the Lyric on the evening of Sept. 16. There will be a new deal among the officers at this session, as the terms of all the officers have expired, and by law nearly all are denied the privilege of immediately succeeding themselves. W. L. Houston of Chicago, who has been grand master of the order for the past five years, has made an enviable record, and progress has been general throughout the order during his administration. Among the candidates to succeed him are E. P. Jones of Mississippi, Edward H. Morris, one of the most successful lawyers, white or colored, in Chicago and past grand master of the order, and John C. Asbury, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, Philadelphia. State Fair to Be Held at Columbia. The South Carolina state fair, of which the Rev. Richard Carroll is president, will be held at Columbia from Nov. 7 to 12. inclusive. The promoters of the fair are making remarkable progress in perfecting suitable arrangements for the accommodation of all who attend. It is their aim to make the fair this year the greatest from every point of view in its history. THE BUSINESS WORLD THE PARIS CITY CLEANING WORKS. The Paris City Cleaning Works has passed into the hands of Messrs. J. W. Cooper and C. E. Jackson. On Tuesday John R. Jackson, who has so long been connected with this business, sold his remaining half interest to C. E. Jackson, thereby retiring from active business after more than twenty years of active business life in this community. He has been a caterer, coal dealer and later cleaner. At first only a partner with Mr. Saunders in this business and later associated with J. W. Jackson, he finally became full owner. Shrewd real estate investments have brought up to the enviable position of possessing a larger share of this world's goods than any member of the race in this city. Now he has retired, selling first one half to Mr. Cooper and the other to Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson takes with him the respect and esteem of all that have had business dealings with him. He has proven conclusively to the white and colored people of this community that color is not a bar to success and because of this fact, it is a pleasure to point him out and record the work he has done. A few weeks ago, in addition to other ranch property he has in that section, he purchased the old Bushnell property near Parker, Colo., and he and Mrs. Jackson will make it their home in a short while and engage in the poultry business. Mr. Jackson will have his own automobile in the spring and bring his produce to the Denver market. Having accumulated much of this world's goods, he chooses the poultry business as a work agreeable to his tastes for outdoor life, without too severe a tax on his time and energy. Thus retires a man who has made a mark in Denver and one of the few Negroes who by sheer dint of labor and wisdom has made money. He deserves all he has. The good wishes of many friends go with him. Mr. J. W. Cooper, the senior of the two partners who succeed him, was for many years an employee of the Gas and Electric Co. He has accumulated largely and brings to the Paris City Works a large experience and acquaintance. Mr. C. E. Jackson was formerly the proprietor of the Metropole Cleaning Works and is an experienced man. The firm will without doubt do well. THE GROVES BROTHERS. The Groves Brothers marketed this week from their ranch at Manitou a carload of hogs, getting within 5 cents of the top price, $9.35 per hundred. Harvey and George Groves are hustlers every inch of the road. Cholera lost them $4,000 last year, but by strict attention to business they are able to say of this year that it is the FIVE CENTS A COPY best in their history. Pluck wins. Though nights be long and days be dark, still pluck wins. Its average is true. Bully for the Groves Brothers. NOTICE. NOTICE. Madam T. D. Perkins leaves for an eastern trip September 20 to be gone six weeks. She wishes her old customers to arrange their engagements on or before September 18. ILLUSTRATED SERMON AT CAMPBELL CHAPEL SUNDAY NIGHT. Subject: The Great Supper. 1. A certain man made a great supper. 2. And sent his servants to announce that everything was ready. 3. And all began to make excuses. 4. One said that I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. 5. The second said that I have bought five yoke of oxen, I must go and prove them. 6. The third said that I have married me a wife and I cannot come. 7. The servants came and showed his Lord these things. 8. Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city. 9. Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come. 10. The supper room is filled. 11. None of those that were invited first shall tase of my supper. 12. Duett, Jesus, Lover of My Soul. 13. Chorus, Let Your Lower Lights Be Burning. 14. On Christ the solid rock I stand. 15. There is a fountain filled with blood. In order to secure a choice seat you will have to come very early. As this will be the last sermon prior to the annual conference, we naturally look for a crowded house. Every member will be expected to turn in their dollar money if they have not already done so. H. C. WILLIAMS, Pastor MRS. SMITH'S FUNERAL Zion church was crowded with mournful friends at the burial of Mrs. Louisa B. Smith Sunday afternoon. Her tragic death no less than her exemplary life made this last tribute of the living to the dead notable. The funeral was preached by Rev. Reynolds. Interment was at Fairmount, under charge of Undertaker Lawhorn. The Order of the Eastern Star, of which she was a past matron, conducted the funeral ceremonies. Flowers and tears in vain were offered at the bier of the dead. She is gone but not forgotten. The exceptional ritualistic services and the loving attentiveness of the Eastern Star ladies won for them much comment. --- ELKS WILL NOT SPLIT AGAIN Former Grand Exalted Ruler's Charges Fully Answered. HIS LEADERSHIP REPUDIATED Diegruntled Because He Was Not Elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the Grand Lodge of Reunited Order of Elks, Dr. James E. Mills Attempts to Secede. Messrs. Francis H. Warren of Detroit, Mich., and James H. Anderson of New York, who attended every session of the union grand lodge of Elks recently held in Washington, say they feel competent and justified in publishing the following statement in regard to a certain proclamation issued by Dr. James E. Mills of Norfolk, Va., purporting to give actions of said grand lodge of Elks as reasons for his attempt to have what is known as the former "parent body lodges" again withdraw from the new great union order. To the seven reasons given by Dr. Mills for withdrawing from the order Messrs. Warren and Anderson reply as follows: First, the statement of Mr. Mills that there was an agreement that he should be the grand exalted ruler of the future Union Grand lodge is not true. It appears nowhere in the minutes that James E. Mills was to be perpetuated in the office of grand exalted ruler. Through the superior magnanimity of Dr. W. E. Atkins, who may here be styled "the Virginia gentleman," he himself nominated Dr. James E. Mills to preside over the "future grand lodge meeting." A. H. In explaining what was meant by this motion Dr. Atkins said, "We will be obliged to meet in separate sessions to declare off our respective grand lodge F. H. WARREN. declare off our respective grand lodge meetings scheduled for Brooklyn and Norfolk, after which we will go into the Union Grand lodge session, over which Dr. J. E. Mills will preside." This appears on pages 3 and 4 of the peace conference minutes, and further on on page 4 it says, "By motion Dr. Mills was designated the grand exalted ruler of our Union Grand lodge meeting." It will be seen here that meeting and session were written and spoken of in the singular and therefore referred only to the union meeting that was to displace the two grand lodge meetings scheduled for Brooklyn and Norfolk. That this was clearly the understanding by not only the members of the peace conference at Willington, but also by Dr. Mills himself at Washington, was shown by the ultimatum referred to in a recent issue of the Detroit Informer to the effect that unless Dr. Mills was permitted to retain the position of grand exalted ruler of the Union order there would be no union. This statement was made directly to one of the authors of this article by Dr. James E. Mills in person at Washington. As a matter of fact, it is plain that because Dr. Mills could not have been elected grand exalted ruler of the United Order of Elks from the floor of the grand lodge this is his sole and only reason for his present attempt to again disrupt the order. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. The second reason given by Mr. Mills, that of the incurring of $5,000 debt for the legal defense of the Elks of New York, is without point. As a third reason of Dr. Mills, that of expending $10,000 for an Elks' home for sick or indigent brothers to be erected on land donated by prominent people of Richmond, Va., all we have to say is that no tax has been levied for the erection of this home, but that it is a purely voluntary affair for the members to contribute or not, as they see fit. The fourth objection is fully answered by the above except the charge of Mr. Mills that the A The fourth object by the above except Mills that the Atkins following were permitted to overthrow the actions of the peace conference and take into their own hands the control of the organization. M. B. His fifth objection also treats of the alleged unfairness of the Atkins following, so called, and their "unbrotherly" disposition. We wish to state most emphatically that there is no greater injustice mentioned in this wickedly false proc no greater injustice JAMES H. ANDERMENTIONED in this SON. wickedly false proclamation than this imputation that the brothers formerly of the Atkins grand lodge exhibited any desire to dominate the proceedings of the grand lodge. The sixth and seventh objections are fully answered by the above clauses because union has been perfected and there is no parent body as such. In conclusion, nearly all of the lodges have signified their intention of remaining steadfast in the Union Grand lodge, and every Mills lodge that has been visited in the east or whose members have been consulted in regard to the attitude of Dr. Mills have repudiated his leadership and branded him as a traitor. O. V. Catte lodge will pay its taxes and become an active member of the Union Grand lodge from its first meeting. FALL CAMPAIGN BEGINS. United Colored Democracy Indorses Sulzer For Governor. At a recent meeting of the United Colored Democracy of Kings county, N. Y., the following set of resolutions was adopted: To the New York Democratic Committee, Hon. John A. Dix, Chairman: Gentlemen—Whereas, The colored voters of New York have learned with much satisfaction that Hon. William Sulzer is permitting the use of his name by his friends and supporters, who are strongly urging him as the Democratic candidate for governor; and, Whereas, As you have no doubt noticed, there is general dissatisfaction among thousands of colored Republicans with the Republican party, caused in most part by the discharge of the colored soldiers by President Roosevelt and the subsequent hostility of President Taft to the colored man's rights as citizens; and. Whereas, The name of Congressman Sulzer is now a household word among the Afro-American people of the state because of his vigorous support of the bill which had as its object the giving of an opportunity of all innocent soldiers to re-enlist in the army, many of whom had served upward of from fifteen to twenty years; and. Whereas, The colored voters of the state now number at least 60,000, and, believing that Congressman Sulzer is capable of attracting more of these votes than any Democrat of whom we have knowledge; and. Whereas, New York state is often carried by a much smaller majority than 60,000, which represents our strength, it would appear, therefore, that your honorable committee could with propriety and wisdom consider this element of the citizenship when you are discussing candidates; therefore be it Resolved by the United Colored Democracy that we beg your consideration of the thoughts suggested in the above with a hope that your good offices and influence will be used to bring about the nomination of William Sulzer of New York county as the Democratic nominee for governor of our great state. Resolved further, That we pledge our most loyal support to his candidacy. Very truly yours, SUMNER H. LARK. Leader United Colored Democracy, Kings County.

As the baseball season will soon come to a close, next comes the hard game season called football. Mr. Tyndall Graves will manage the R. M. A. C. football team and much will be expected of him and his team. Guy Cocker will also manage a team, the name is not yet known. And the Y. M. C. B.'s will have their team which will probably be managed by Wayman Ward or Clarence Langston. The several colored baseball teams made a rank failure this season. It is hoped that the football teams will be altogether different. Give us the play and we will see it. HARRISON STEWART AND MATT MARSHALL. Have you all seen Stewart & Marshall at the Orpheum this week Well, if you haven't seen them, don't miss, as they are what you would call the original Negro comedians. Their act is different from what most comedians put on. They do a singing and talking act that is certainly scoring a big hit. Harrison Stewart was formerly the leading man in the Pekin Stock Co. of Chicago, and he and his partner, Marshall, have written some of the greatest coon songs in the late history of colored sond writers. They will close tomorrow night at the Orpheum, so don't miss seeing them. INDIAN CLUB SWINGING AT THE R. M. A. CLUB. Mr. Tyndall Graves and Mike Bud Thomas will give a club swinging exhibition at the R. M. A. Club this coming Wednesday night, Sept. 14th, in the gym. Everybody invited, 8:30 p. m. A NEW ARRIVAL. The name "Whirlwind Jack," so familiarly known in New York, will soon become one of our passwords in the pugilistic order of the West, as we have among us Mr. Jack Morris, who intends remaining here for some time and hopes to pull off some bouts before returning East, with some of the crack lightweights of this part of the country. We understand that this fighter has a pretty successful ring career up to the present, and since his arrival (of about three months ago) has given a few sparring exhibitions privately, and impressed his spectators very much. We therefore wish him every success and hope within a very short time to be able to insert in our columns his challenge to our western stars. AMATEUR BASEBALL Howard McGinnis, manager of the boys' Zion Athletic Baseball Team, is a very proud young man these days. Why? Because he brought his team to the front last Sunday by defeating the Ohio Congregational baseball team, playing ten innings, score 5 to 4. This is the only colored team that has played the whole season through. And the team can boast of having a fine set of uniforms. Young McGinnis will soon organize a football team for boys under 18 years. SPECIAL TO THIS PAGE. (By Stewart & Marshall.) Dear People of Denver: What are you all thinking of?

Here, I might judge, is a city with ten thousand Negro population, and no place for what the world likes. That is pleasure, a nice ten and twenty-cent theatre in this city conducted and owned by Negroes, would be the greatest kind of an advancement to the people and the home talent. Every city in the East and South of any size has a colored theatre. So, people of Denver, it would be the great and only thing for the amateur performers of Denver to have a place where they could show their ability. So why not have a place of your own, such as they have in all the other cities. In a way it is a fine chance to help educate the amateur. So all of you that want to see the race advance in this one profession, help to have a Negro theatre and then watch the new aspiring young Negroes for the stage. That's how we started. THE TWO JOHNSONS. The Johnsons who played at the Pantages last week were quite a hit, singing and dancing their latest song hits, "If He Comes in" and "Listen to the Crowd." BERT WILLIAMS IN FOLLIES 1910 11. Bert Williams, the peer of all Negro comedians, is another colored man whose salary is larger than that of the president of the United States. He is starring in the Follies 1910-11 big white company. They play 52 weeks without a stop and only play six cities, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and St. Louis. Bert is getting the salary of $1,000 per week. Does it pay to be an actor? KID ORGAN VS. LAURY JACKSON These two likely boys will give a sparring exhibition tonight at the R. M. A. club. Kid Organ is a coming light heavyweight under the management of Laury Jackson of this city. GEORGE WALKER INSANE. George Walker, the late and only partner to Bert Williams, has gone completely insane and was placed in the asylum of Kansas week before last. His condition is a critical one and the doctors say there is no hope for him. MISS JENNETTE TRIPPLET. The fair entertainer of Chicago has joined the Chicago Jubilee Co. and is making quite a hit with her singing and playing. She was a visitor to Denver last summer and made many friends. BOBIE KEMP, AVERY & HART. These people have two different acts that will come over the Orpheum circuit this season. Boble Kemp will have a company of four, while Avery & Hart will do a big team act. SAM LANGFORD AND JOE JENNETTE Sam Langford, the Negro light heavyweight of Boston, known as the Tar Baby, defeated Joe Jennette in the fifteenth round last Tuesday night in Boston. It was the longest and hardest battle that has been held in Boston for years. Jennette is a good man, but was just outclassed by Sam Langford. Now Langford will start once more after Jack Johnson, whom he thinks he can beat. My ad- vice to Sam is to sidestep Johnson for a while and take on Al Kaufman and Tommy Burns. They are more in his class. Klondike wants to fight John Haynes, the old time colored heavyweight known as Klondike has certainly got his hair up. He is just crazy to fight Con O'Kelly, Tommy Ryan's giant heavy, or any of the rest of them. Klondike says that he is the only man who ever knocked Jack Johnson out and thinks that he should be taken into consideration. DR. WASHINGTON LIKES BERT WILLIAMS' WORK. Says Comedian Is a Tremendous Asset to the Negro Race When I go to the theater, which is not often, I generally go to hear the colored comedian Bert Williams, says Dr. Booker T. Washington in the September American Magazine. I go to hear him, however, as often as I have opportunity, and I am seldom in the same city with him that I do not find myself, if I happen to have an hour of leisure, drifting in the direction of the theater in which he is playing. If I were a dramatic critic I suppose I might give some sound logical reasons for liking Bert Williams' style and methods. But I am not a critic, and vaudeville performances, as a rule, strike me as tiresome. There is so much that seems to me strained and artificial and lacking in the flavor of ordinary wholesome human nature. But Bert Williams' humor strikes me as the real thing. There is nothing secondhand or second rate about it. His fun seems to flow spontaneously and without effort, as if it came from some deep natural source in the man himself. Besides, there are a quality and a flavor about Bert Williams' humor which indicate that it is the natural expression of a thoughtful and observing mind. Bert Williams is a tremendous asset of the Negro race. He is an asset because he has succeeded in actually doing something, and because he has succeeded the fact of his success helps the Negro many times more than he could help the Negro by merely contenting himself to whine and complain about racial difficulties and racial discriminations. The fact is that the American people are ready to honor and to reward any man who does something that is worth while, no matter whether he is black or white, and Bert Williams' career is simply another illustration of that fact.

Time For Negro Voters to Break Camp, He Says. Under the caption "Put Thought Into It" Editor E. C. Knox of the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman says: "The Negro voters for years have shown a devotion to the one party—Republican—which for faithfulness is really pathetic. As long as old conditions maintained, when all the good came through one party, as it was thought, to community, to country, to race, these voters were doing the proper thing, since it should be the purpose to bring about the best possible condition to all. "But parties change, as men change, as the fashions change. The good thing of yesterday is a bad thing for today. Politics is as variable as the waters. If clinging blindly to the past means present perturbment, then it is the plain duty to swing out into the clear, get a better bearing on things. Pick and choose your change and then anchor alongside. "We hold that something of the thing hoped for will be gained if the Negro voters break camp, scatter as the necessity calls, into such parties and groups as answer their political views, such views being influenced by the happenings and circumstances that change other men. "This is the political intelligence that must be exerted in order to avoid the grooves where men stagnate and decay. Neither party at this day wishes the blind allegiance of a class based on services tendered in a past that is no part of the present." CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB. R. L. Powell, Who Has Mastered Art of Manufacturing Ice Cream. Manifestations of the fact that our people are succeeding along most all lines of business and in the professions are almost daily occurrences. The manufacturing of ice cream, however, is a field to which the race has not given much serious thought from a business standpoint. True, there are among us a number of capable men who have made good as caterers or confectioners, but the fine art of the business as a money making venture, we fear, has only been lightly entered into. One of the best qualified men in the art of manufacturing this toothsome product of whom we know in Greater New York is Robert Lincoln Powell. Mr. Powell has held the position of foreman in the manufacturing department of the Reid Ice Cream company at its summer plant in Asbury Park, N. J., for a number of years and has given entire satisfaction. In the winter season Mr. Powell is employed by another concern in Brooklyn. He knows the business in all of its complex parts and is thoroughly reliable. It might be the key to his future success if he would go into the business for himself. Christianity Should Begin at Home Christianity Should Begin at Home. From the number of horrible murders of helpless women and lynching of equally defenseless Negroes the white man seems to be falling from his vaunted high degree and to be returning to his former savagery. Could not much of the wealth and energy spent in foreign missionary work find greater opportunities in America? Charity should begin at home.—Los Angeles (Cal.) New Age. SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE A. M. E.

Southern air, once surcharged with Negro woes, conveys his words of hope and good cheer, says the Savannah (Ga.) Trib- une. Southern groves, once the chambers of Negro prayers, liave given way to Negro church edifices, Southern farms, instead of giving off sad tunes, now give off songs which abound in op- timism. L. B.

Mrs. Landor is still in a very weak condition, but on the road to recovery. A very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Hopkins last Thursday evening, when their daughter, Miss Lena B. Hopkins, became the bride of Mr. Curtis A. Ward. Rev. Washington officiated. The ceremony was witnessed by the immediate relatives and a few friends of the contracting parties.

SCOTT CHURCH NOTES Revival services commenced Sunday evening with a crowded house and the attendance has been keeping up nicely since. Mrs. Sallie A. Ramsay is a convincing speaker and possesses rare power as an evangelist. Three have been reclaimed already and the revival fires have been kindled among the luke warm Christians. The meetings will continue the coming week. Come and bring your friends with you and we will do you good. Mr. Fred Brown read a very interesting paper before the Epworth League last Sunday evening. Mr. Townsend made a good talk on taking advantage of present opportunities. Another interesting program is in store for the members and friends Sunday evening. The early Sunday morning prayer meeting was a special feature of the beginning of the revival. It gave tone to all of the services during the day. The prayer meeting will be continued next Sunday morning and if you want to start the Sabbath day right, come to this prayer meeting. Members are especially urged to be present and friends will receive a cordial welcome. The weekly class meetings will be Sunday after the morning services during the progress of the special meetings. Members are urged to keep their class dues up during the revival services. Mr. J. M. Johns has returned from an extended visit to his old home in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Mr. Johns reports a splendid trip to the Southland. The young people of Scotts' church are preparing a comedy to be rendered after the termination of the revival services. The play is very funny. You should see it. Watch for the date. The pastor was called to preach the funeral of the late Mrs. Georgie S. Irby at the undertaking parlors of B. R. Ball. Her mother and aunt were present with other friends to hear the last words over her remains. It was a sad funeral, as the young woman was just in her prime.

The recent purchase by the Nassau Railroad company of the property of the Howard Colored Orphan asylum in Brooklyn will mark the removal of one of the city's old landmarks of Negro industry. The work accomplished by the Howard Colored Orphan asylum since its inception has done a great deal to ameliorate the conditions of the race in the north. Many public spirited citizens and society women have been greatly interested in the care of the institution and have succeeded in raising the money needed to keep the home in a flourishing condition. During the last year nearly 300 colored children have been taken care of, and in the history of the home many of its inmates have been sent out into the world and have done a great deal to advance the cause of the Negro race. Many have entered the ministry, and others have become schoolteachers. The present management is headed by Robert M. Whiting, president; James E. Howe, vice president; the Rev. J. A. Billingsley, treasurer, and the Rev. James H. Gordon, superintendent. The Women's auxiliary has been greatly instrumental in raising money to supply the needs of the asy- Church Complies With Pastor's Wish In accordance with the expressed desire of the Rev.

Carroll. DOING REAL SAMARITAN WORK Organized Primarily For the Purpose of Getting Rid of the Difficulties Which Confront the Negro In Secret Societies Where Both Races Work Under the Same Ritual and Charter. Perhaps no member of the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks of America is doing more toward making known the true merits --- THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLCRADO. and benefits or the organization than Supreme Deputy J. G. Carroll of Winnfield, La. Being imbued with the spirit of the order, believing in its principles and purposes and knowing the benefits to be derived by being a member, Mr. Carroll has gone out in earnest to build it up in influence and membership. In this he is succeeding admirably. He expects to institute local lodges throughout the south as rapidly as possible. No secret order of the Negro race offers better opportunities or advantages for self help than the Order of Roebucks. The founder of the order was a man of wide knowledge and experience in the work of secret and fraternal societies. Being aware of the difficulties which confront our people from time to time in organizations where both races work under the same ritual and charter was the primary cause for bringing into existence an original Negro organization of national scope. The object of the Order of Roebucks is not only for caring for its members in the time of illness by giving financial aid and personal attention, but to encourage the race in business, education and along all lines of industrial pursuit. The order also encourages the support of such agencies for racial uplift as orphanages, settlement and neighborhood work. In addressing a large audience of persons recently at Winnfield Mr. Carroll told them that the Order of Roebucks was doing real Samaritan work. While priests and Levites with pharisaical pride pass by on the other side, said he, leaving the wounded, helpless widows and orhpans to suffer, we stoop down, pick them up, bind up their wounds, relieve their suffering, put them in our organization, make them welcome and re-establish their going. The order takes members, both male and female, in ages ranging from eighteen to fifty-five. Our race is advancing in business and in the higher branches of learning. We are sensible, however, of the fact that in order to make our citizenship more respected and our influence felt for good we must deal fairly and squarely by all persons with whom we have any dealing Our motto, "Once a Roebuck always a Roebuck," runs like a silver lining throughout the organization, giving hope and inspiration to the members, ever reminding them of their duty to the organization and to themselves.

Hunter Tells How to Overcome Them. In a recent sermon at the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn the Rev. William L. Hunter, M. D., chose for his subject "The Battle of Life." The discourse was based on Revelation ii, 11, "He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death." He said in part: The question of life and death is the most important to the human family. Everybody loves to live and to that end applies his energy and effort. No one cares particularly for death or has any special love for it. Death makes nothing good which was not good before; hence the suicide finds no advantage in taking his life. His is a dead hope. Even the lower order of animals dread death and cling to life. The fowls of the air shrink from death. The subject before us this evening brings us to a consideration of death from two viewpoints. First, the separation of the soul from the body. When a man is separated from his wife permanently they are dead to each other. Just so with the man who is out of God. He is dead to God and God to him. When a man leaves this world his spirit separates from his body and takes its flight for its final destination. The second death, which means separation from God forever if a soul has made no preparation, is a worse death than the first. The soul does exist and is conscious of it; otherwise it could not experience joys and sorrows. When brought before God every thought, word or action from the day of man's birth to his death is reckoned. If he has done his best the account balances in his favor; if not, then God deals with him according to his deeds. It is not what you said or did, but what you really were, that will count with God. "He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death." There are three foes with which man must battle in this life—the world, the flesh and the devil. God did not intend that we should not enjoy this beautiful earth or the things provided herein for man's comfort, but the principles of this world are against God. The spirit of get something, no matter how, is against God. When a man's soul is converted that does not mean his flesh. The flesh has all of the passions and appetites it ever had, has absolutely undergone no change and will undergo none until the mortal puts on the immortal. How, then, can we deal with the flesh? By adhering to the spirit, which controls the flesh, and by the will power which is in us. Man would fall into many a pit and bypath did he not heed the command of the spirit which bids him come. The spirit acts upon matter, thus giving the man who is desirous of doing right an opportunity to do so. A great many people think they can make friends with the devil. There is no compromise. He will tell you all sorts of things and was never known to tell the truth. You have three weapons with which to fight this battle—God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. Faith, love and obedience will conquer all of your struggles and hardships and enable you to overcome death. FAMOUS DENTIST DIES. Dr. George F. Grant Had International Renown as Inventor. Dr. George Franklin Grant, graduate from the dental department of Harvard university, lecturer, demonstrator, inventor, writer and instructor, an international authority upon mechanical dentistry, who died at his summer home on his farm at Chester, N. H., from cancer of the liver in the sixty-third year of his life on Monday, Aug. 22, was a unique character. Dr. Grant was born at Oswego, N. Y., Sept. 15, 1847. His early education was obtained in that city. In 1867 he went to Boston and entered the Harvard dental school. Dr. Grant graduated in the class of 70 with honors so high that he was engaged by the faculty as one of the instructors. In 1872 Harvard college in recognition of the inventive genius of the young instructor honored him with the seat in the chair of professor of mechanical dentistry, which position he filled for thirteen years. His inventions in mechanical dentistry have given him an international reputation, the most notable one being that of the oblate palate, which has proved to be a valuable aid to those born without a palate. He gained an international reputation for his writings and was an authority upon many subjects pertaining to the general course of dentistry. Dr. Grant was a very quiet man. He was in love with his family and his profession. For them he toiled early and late. He was also strong in his love for the race he was identified with. Many a young colored man and woman he has helped with the caution: "Say nothing about it. Do your work well, and that will be your thanks to me." He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Georgia Smith, daughter of ex-Representative John J. Smith of Boston. There were two children by this marriage, Miss Mabel and Mrs. Theodore Grant Howard. His second marriage was in June, 1895, to Miss Fannie Bailey of Cambridge. There are two children by this marriage, Misses Olivia and Miss Frances Bailey Grant. His wife and four children and a sister, Mrs. Sophia Grant Myers, survive him. TIME FOR LEGAL ACTION. Government Must Stop Lawlessness, Says Dr. Charles T. Walker. By N. BARNETT DODSON. "Some Important Factors In the Solution of the Race Problem" was the subject of an interesting and highly instructive lecture which was delivered by the Rev. Charles F. Walker, LL. D., of Augusta, Ga., at the Holy Trinity Baptist church in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening. Aug. 23. In order to give every one who cared to attend an opportunity to hear the distinguished orator the Rev. S. W. Timms, pastor of the church, decided that there should be no admission charged. The result was a crowded house. Dr. Walker is one of the ablest and most influential pastors and educators of the race. He has traveled all over the United States on lecturing tours and is therefore widely known. His experience in London, Paris and the Holy Land a few years ago furnished much of the material for his lectures in this country. In the course of his interesting lecture Dr. Walker said that, while at times the treatment of the Negro as a citizen by some of the people of the United States was very harmful to the well being of the race, he was not discouraged, as he believed a bright future was in store for the people of his race. The speaker condemned lynchings and other inhuman treatment and intimated that the silence of the federal government in such matters was a dangerous policy, since mob violence is becoming more and more to know no color, creed or condition. "We must at all times," said the speaker, "conduct ourselves as a race in such a manner as to merit the friendship of the other races, but you must not stoop to any unreasonable methods in doing so. Stand up," said he. "Be men. Your own people will respect you the more for it. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MR8. L. L. ROBERTS.

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."

FIDELITY OF THE RACE CITED Lawlessness In Various Forms and In Almost All Parts of the United States Has Stirred Our People to Action. Justice Is God's Arbiter For Humanity, They Say. The Colored Ministers' union of Washington, of which the Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron is a prime factor, in prefacing its appeal to the people of the United States to do all in their power to stop mob violence and the lynching of human beings proceeds as follows: "To God, the executive head of the nation and the American people we make this appeal as descendants of citizens who were, even in bondage, warm friends of the southern white people and who until half a century ago made history for others, but none for themselves. Since then we have striven against race antipathy and the stigma of previous condition, and we have rapidly improved in literacy, morals and economic status. "We have bought land, built homes and established churches, but such states as desire to do so go on disfranchising us, lynching our men on frivolous charges and unproved allegations and widening the chasm which race differentiation has made broad enough. When progress does not promise to save a people that people is near unto desperation. "But let us appeal to the best instincts of men as long as reason has a PRIEST chance and argument a hearing. While the brotherhood of man is a doctrine of our religion, we must have faith to believe that this world can be made better and ultimately set right. There is no wrong that cannot be put away by good men determined to do it. "It is pitiable to note that the white THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. man, who makes laws for men of other races to live under, has not succeeded in ruling according to the laws he has made, nor has he the courage and fairness to punish himself for the greatest crime against the state which he has ordained, the crime of lynching. We believe in democracy, which we interpret to mean government by suffrage and protection by law. The mission of the law is justice at any price to every man. Now, justice is God's arbiter for humanity, not for any one race or nation, but for the human race. Humane treatment, establishing the guilt of evildoers, as a part of justice is absolutely necessary. We urge in favor of political and judicial fairness for our people their historic relations to the progress of our country. Traditions of beautiful sentiments and unparalleled fidelity ought to be enough to give our fathers a wreath of honor and to secure for us, their descendants, a place as men and citizens on equal terms with other men. Negro brawn and adaptability did much to make the south prosperous and beautiful and happy. We are alarmed that out of the wrong so generally acknowledged, the national sin of lynching and mob rule, no voice rings out sufficiently clear to check the mad career of the lawless who murder innocents whom the law has promised to protect. We ask the sympathetic consideration of the president of the United States, the judges of the supreme court, the governors of states, the officials of law, the pulpit and press and fair minded people everywhere to the end that lynching and mob rule and race riots may be driven from the American commonwealth. We earnestly ask that this government, which has shown its sympathy with the weak of foreign nations by sending an army to Cuba, by joining with the powers in settling the Boxer movement in China, by suggesting that honor had been satisfied to Russia and Japan, that is in sympathy with Russian Jews and Armenians in their suffering, that has often protected an individual abroad in the name of humanity—we insist that this government shall protect its weak at home as well as abroad. We command every brave man who has in the past or present in the north or south, in the east or west, spoken out boldly for justice, law and right. We make this appeal to the reason of all true Americans. We invoke the good offices of blindfolded justice, which has no respect of persons. We appeal to the home loving instinct of the real American—descendants of Saxons, Teutons and Celts, whose motto is "A man's home is his castle," to espouse the cause of law for all alike. We appeal to the love that gave birth to the Golden Rule that lives in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and in the justice of the constitution of the United States. By the terms of the will of the late E. J. Falen, who died recently in Baltimore, $15,000 is left for the purpose of founding an industrial home in southern Maryland for colored children. So we are to have a few more "grandfather clauses," observes the Pittsburg Courier, this time of the western type. Soon we'll have the suffragists' "grandmother clause." We always have loved our grandmamma's way of doing things. She had a virtue for honesty. "I as the old "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The enfranchisement of women will minimize the crimes of injustice committed against the Negro. Because the same power of influence attained by her from birth, education and Christion religion would place woman so high above her less fortunate sisters that she would not countenance, neither would she conspire, to rob men of their citizenship, especially when that citizenship went for American manhood, the standard of freedom guaranteed under the constitution of a Christian country.
