DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 1910 R RACE AND FOR PARTY R RACE AND FOR PARTY tatesman Wishes Justice for the Negro Race and Success for the Republican Party. Part of the Insurgent and Independent Clamor is Made by Trimmers Seeking Spoil. The election approaches amid a storm of insurgency and progressives. Both old parties are sorely beset with reform movements. Threats of parties and political independence are more frequent than usual and are g more substantial shape. We have sincere respect for the courage of eformer though we do not always agree with his judgment. In the ing election The Statesman expects to do its best to win success for the republican party as it has in the past. We do not mean at all that we are entirely satisfied with the record of that party. From time to time we have criticised its actions, especially those affecting the Negro, and we now reserve for ourselves the right to oppose any move which we think inimical to the race's interest. But considering politics from the point of view of the white American, we can find no reason why the former followers of the Republican party should now desert its standard. It is true that it has failed signally in some instances, that it has been venal in others, but certainly it has never at any time, anywhere, been as bad as the democracy of this state is, according to speakers in its own state convention just adjourned. It has not played the hypocrite so thoroughly. It has not adopted a progressive, socialistic platform, won elections on it, and then failed to make good in the legislature. It has never heralded its shame to the world by insulting and almost defeating for nomination a governor who through an extra session attempted to make its word good. The Republican party is the party of brains and business. The marvelous prosperity of this country is of its making. We glory in this. The end which was sought in the McKinley bill and in the adoption of sound money has been achieved. The Republican party is now being blamed for the exuberance of our prosperity and for the creation of trusts. We wonder why our critics say nothing of the dinner pails we have filled in 1896 and 1900. Now that the cost of living has gone higher and higher and is the problem most needing solution, we see no reason why the party of our choice should be forsaken for the opposition whether new party or old. Amid all the storm of insurgent and Democratic abuse the Taft administration stands as a model of legislative effectiveness. Its tariff measure alone and Speaker Cannon are the targets for the enemy. In all else it is serene in its magnificent success. It is true the party has not overcome the high cost of living nor has it reached perfection in legislation, but measured by any standard of past achievement, it needs no apology. Here at home, in our own state, the Republican administrations of the past have won no such front-page, red-head-line abuse from even the Democratic press as aas the present Democratic administration. A stronger tribute to the party could not be. Two years ago, under the leadership of the state chairman, John F. Vivian, the Republican party divorced itself from the business interests that seek pernicious legislation and made the race on a progressive platform. Up to this time the party stands simon pure in its Republicanism and will doubtless again make the race with a reasonable amount of progressive legislation. Unlike Democracy, it will not seek to gull the people with a carload of catch-penny experiments. Office should be accompanied with honor. Of itself it is nothing. There is no honor in a party that holds its platform so cheap as to neglect to carry out its provisions as did Democracy last year. Should the Republican state convention chose good men as its standard-bearers, it will win. So much have we to say of politics. We are thus explicit for in these times of insurgency and political independence, there are a lot of trimmers running along with the reformers, in the hope of making the wreck of some party's fortunes their chance for plunder. We honor the reformer, wise or TY-FIRST YEAR State History & Nat ural History Societ FIVE CENTS A COPY EMANCIPATION CELEBIATION Colorado Springs citizens makes this celebration marked in the calendar of enjoyments. Capt. Powell, who is the owner of the Dispatch, is a host in himself and he says, come, all Denver, all Colorado, and meet all Colorado Springs in these festivities. There will be something doing every minute. The Masonic picnic at Luna park is positively the last opportunity you will have for outdoor amusement. It is the only opportunity the people of this city have had in years for amusement in such a high-class park as Luna, where the whirl-a-gig, skating, boating, pavilion and other amusements are high class. Then, too, there will be a barbecue and music by Jackson's orchestra. Remember, the 23rd or 29th avenue cars will take you right to the gate and 25c will take you in. The best, the biggest, the only outing this summer is next Thursday in commemoration of the emancipation. The sitting of the Colorado Conference of the A. M. E. church at Pueblo again brings under the eyes of the people of this state the work of one of the race's great organizations, the African Methodist church. Some weeks ago this city was visited by Dr. Beckett of the Missionary department, a little later we entertained the senior bishop of the church, Henry M. Turner, and now our own Abraham Grant is with us. Apart from the wonderful example these powerful men of the church are for the rank and file, the achievement and the hope for which they stand makes the yearly assembly of our branch of that church a matter of deep concern for even those outside the church. Messrs. J. H. Harris, Porter Simpson and A. Miller are in the city this week arranging for an excursion from this city to Colorado Springs to an Emancipation celebration to be given there Thursday, September 22. The Dispatch, the Colorado Springs newspaper, which is sponsor for the celebration, says of it that one thousand people are expected from out of the city, who, together with the townspeople, will make a monster affair. The well-known hospitality of the The Statesman wishes the Colorado Conference an abundance of good things, and most of all, a continuation of its past good record. otherwise, but the trimmer is beneath scorn. And we speak out that our politics may be known and marked. Man knows what he has done but cannot see into the future. Therefore while we are thus explicit in our admiration of and preference for the Republican party, we are rudely reminded that we are black! Was the party as it once was, it would be the more reason why we should be Republicans. But alas! The day has come when we must shift for ourselves. From President Taft down to certain lily-whites, there are found Republicans so craven and perverted as to utterly disregard our rights and interests. Were it not that the Democratic party nationally, is domineered by its Southern wing, our life-long enemies, we would hardly know where to turn for a political home. As it is, we chose the lesser of evils and our sentiments and reason unite in supporting the Republican party. Yet as a supporter of the Republican party, and as a spokesman for the Negro race, we must speak out boldly, declaring that there is now, right here in our own state and county and city, need of reasonable consideration of Negroes that the mischief already begun may not go further and lose the party the support of the race. We are not beggars and do not condition our support on money or office, but we are men who know that our rights as citizens and as contributors to Republican success should not be ignored because we are black. If we earn political favors, we should have them. It is no unbecoming request that we be justly dealt with. The refusal or the failure of the Republican party to treat us as desirable accessions to its strength would be a sad awakening for us. All our approval of party measures and men is not to be compared to self-preservation. We may not love others more than we do ourselves. It sounds selfish but it is a part of nature! Let the Republican party not ask of us the supreme denial of self that would be imposed by our yielding all hope of racial advantage simply because we endorse the platform. We would to God we were as other Americans, and could live and act as they. But so long as we are set off because we are black, we must play the part assigned to us as best we may. The Statesman therefore declares an unqualified belief in the superiority of the Republican men and measures in national and local government, but points out the need of just treatment for the Negro race, not as a favor doled out by an overlord, but as a reward of merit to Americans who happen to be black. Houston, was an exhaustive review of the condition of the order. He sketched the history of the order from the time in 1842 when the Philomatheon Literary and Musical society of New York decided to petition the Independent Order of Odd Fellows for a dispensation to organize a lodge, which was twice refused by the white Odd Fellows of New York state. He spoke eloquently of the founder of the colored branch of the order, Peter Ogden, a sailor, who was initiated into an English lodge and came back to this country to establish a lodge out of the members of the society whose petition had been refused. Again meeting a rebuff, he secured a dispensation from his lodge—Victoria of Liverpool, England. Mr. Houston then outlined the history of the order from 1843 until now, with over 400,000 members at present, scattered over the North American continent, the West Indies and Australia. Grand Treasurer B. J. Davis, Grand Secretary James F. Needham, J. C. Asbury, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, and the other grand officers made their reports during the session. A lot of miscellaneous business was also transacted. The Household of Ruth, the women's section of the order, met at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. church, with the grand worthy superior, Mrs. Mary A. Parker of Washington, presiding. Over 700 women attended the sessions. The past grand masters' council held its session at Trinity A. M. E. church, with Gates Wilson of New Orleans presiding. The grand staff of the Patriarchie regiments held interesting sessions at Moses hall. At the opening session addresses were delivered by Major General Jared Ford of Philadelphia, Colonel Hamilton N. Hayes of Baltimore, Major George Dent of Baltimore, Colonel J. W. Anderson, retired; Surgeon in Chief Conwell Banton of Wilmington, Del., and others. Druid Hill avenue, which was specially lighted with thousands of elec M. tric lights from Biddle street to Lafayette avenue, presented an animated scene each night as the visitors and citizens paraded the thoroughfare by thousands. A drill of Patriarchie No.1 on Monday night, an excursion down the Chesapeake bay, which ended with a big crab feast, and a monster recep THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. tion and ball at the Lyric on Thursday night were among the many social features. The parade of the Patriarchies on Thursday afternoon was witnessed by thousands. The local general committee in charge of the arrangements had the following officers: Harry S. Cummings, chairman; Harry Franklin, vice chairman; J. H. Bailey, treasurer; Jesse L. Nicholas, secretary, and Hamilton N. Hayes, corresponding secretary. Joe Gans Remembered by Friends. A movement is on foot among the Baltimore admirers of the late Joe Gans, former lightweight champion of the world, to have a life size bust of the dead champion made and presented to his widow. The bust will be made from his death mask and will be unveiled at Gans' Goldfield hotel, at Baltimore, on the dead champion's birthday, which occurs on Friday, Nov. 25. WOMEN BEGIN FALL WORK. Lively Interest Manifested In Young Men's Christian Association. The Woman's auxiliary of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn began work for the fall on Thursday evening, Sept. 15, with a reunion and musicale. The organization has been of much financial assistance to the association since its formation three years ago. The president and members are now making plans for the annual fall entertainment, which is usually given for three successive nights in the parlors of the building on Carlton avenue. A feature of the program of Thursday evening was a vocal musical contest between Miss Alice Washington and Miss Katie Ryerson on the one side and Miss Bessie Butler and Mrs. Mary Handley on the other. Miss Carrie Edwards, Mrs. Synthia Walker Simmons, Miss Beatrice Williams, Mr. Combs and the choir of the Nazarene Congregational church, under the leadership of Chorister William H. Taylor, were the other participants in the musical program. The affair was well attended. The officers are Mrs. William F. Abbott, president; Miss Lydia Baker, secretary; Mrs. Charlotte Nesbitt, vice president; Mrs. Clara Boden, assistant secretary, and Miss Roots, treasurer. CAPABLE YOUNG WOMAN. Miss Adelina Saunders' Reading Captivates Audience at Summit. Miss Adelina Saunders of New Haven, favorably known as New England's most accomplished elocutionist, has returned from an extended trip to California, whither she went for the purpose of recuperating her health. While the guest of Miss Violet A. Johnson at Summit, N. J., recently, Miss Saunders appeard in a concert at the Fountain Baptist church. Her readings were from well known standard works. In rendering "Zingarella," the Spanish flower girl, Miss Saunders appeared in costume, and so well pleased was the audience that she had to respond several times to encores. She has been asked to return in the near future and give a series of readings. Those who know Miss Saunders best say that she has made wonderful improvement in her style and also in the quality and character of her subjects. Her friends are highly elated over the prospects of her return to the stage again.

The Queen Esther Rescue and Industrial Home For Women and Girls, located at 603 Twenty-third street, northwest, Washington, is doing a helpful and commendable work. The object of the home is to render assistance to the large number of women and girls who go to Washington in search of employment. The majority of those who go are strangers to city life. It is also a fact that in most cases they go without sufficient means to tide them over until they can get employment and are thus liable to drift into channels which are not helpful. For such persons the Queen Esther home affords a safeguard. One of the main features of the work of the managers of the home is the meeting of incoming trains and boats. Those whom they find who have no lodging place in view are invited to the home. Instruction is given in such industrial branches as laundry work, sewing, cooking and the care of homes, such as would be required of those who intend doing that kind of work. By this method women and girls who are not accustomed to the methods of doing domestic work in the city are greatly helped. Miss Della M. Shaw, president of the board of managers, is at present busily engaged in an effort to raise a sufficient sum with which to put in the necessary equipment for work in the various industrial branches. Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting. This tire will outlast any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING. CHICAGO, ILL.

Rice and Dr. Patterson of St. Louis will respectively occupy the pulpit at the morning and evening services next Lord's day. The annual Presbyterian Brotherhood banquet last Thursday night at the Auditorium hotel was a record in the annals of the history of the organization. The speakers were five white Presbyterian ministers, of Denver Presbyterian, O. A. Erdman, Attorney and Elder of the First church, and Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell. Emphasis was placed on the necessity of the Presbytery's interest on the colored work in Denver. At the Presbyterian Ministers' Association last Monday at the Y. M. C. A., the pastor of the People's church was one of the five members that was given a place on the programme committee of the association for the present year. Being chairman of the Presbyterian committee for the work among the Freedmen, Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell will render his report in writing to the Presbyterial Executive Commission next Monday at Central church. The pastor and Elder Dr. L. W. Crosthwait will attend the fall meeting of Presbytery at Golden the next day. Everybody is hereby reminded of the $1,000 rally that is to take place the last Sunday of this month, one week from Sunday, the 18th. We want your presence, prayers, influence and money as inevitable means for success. We thank you for your favorable consideration of us in the past. We earnestly solicit your influence for the future. CHRIST RADIANT. I can sing the song of the King of Kings, Of the Radiant Christ and the love He brings. The unspeakable joy His grace bestows On the souls that His love and kinship knows. The song of the years hath a blended cry From Bethlehem's stall to His throne on high, From Calvary's summit, all ashen gray, To the Radiant Christ in our hearts today. The light from His cradle, cross and tomb Prove a beacon bright to souls once doom'd. Faith, hope, redemption from "former things" To the "joys laid up" which His promise brings. The "fullness of joy" that His presence holds, THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. For "beloved of the Lord" now thrills our souls. His love, of all loves, hath for us sufficed, Our wondrous Savior, our Radiant Christ. HATTIE F. HAMMOND, Alexandria, Va. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BOUT FOR WHIRLWIND JACK. A fast bout scheduled for ten rounds was pulled off on Monday evening between Whirlwind Jack of this city (and late of New York) and Kid Mullen, champion of Wisconsin, in the vicinity of Pueblo, before a select audience of 350 people. Both men weighed in at 7 o'clock, making 155 and 17 pounds respectively, and at 9 o'clock sharp the 5gong was sounded for the first round. Both men started in at a very fast pace, Mullen having the better of the first four rounds by drawing the first claret and scoring two knock downs; but the New York demon was not to be discouraged, this being a usuality of his action whenever he meets a new opponent. From the fifth round Jack got down to work and while encountering some hard punishment, scored two knock downs in this round. Still the hard-hitting 'Kid' kept up his blows, feeling confident he would succeed in a decision or knockout over his contestant, and walloped Jack very hard over the kidneys, but his wily opponent brought the full measure of his eastern tactics to bear and had "Kid" puzzled in the sixth and seventh rounds, groggy in the eighth and completely knocked out in the ninth. After the count of ten, Jack raised Mullen twice to his feet, but the hardy Wisconsin champion could not return. This event further impressed the spectators (who had seen Mr. Morris' exhibition previous to this), with his ability as a boxer and suggestions were made to him to start an athletic training shool dcuring the fall. Good luck to Jack. We hope to chronicle more successes of him. PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER, Twenty-second and Humboldt Street, Rev. Thos. G. Brown, Pastor. At vespers on Sunday, 11th inst., the sacrament of Holy Baptism was administered to Yolande and Naida McCulloch, children of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. McCulloch of 2631 Humboldt street of this city. These children are members of the Sunday School since its reorganization and the church feels proud over this addition to its flock as the Master particularly emphasises on "the lambs of His fold." The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Thos. G. Brown and the godparents were Mrs. Alice Travers, Mrs. Ida Hickman and the pastor of the church. The choir will resume its work on the fourth Sunday in the month, Sept. 25th. Confirmation instruction for autumn begins in October.

On Sunday there was an important meeting of the leading spirits in the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias. The funeral of Henry F. Smith Sunday afternoon occurred from Shorter chapel, with Rev. Ward as the officiating minister. Being a member of Progress Lodge, the newly-instituted Knights of Pythias Lodge, they turned out to conduct the funeral ceremonies. They formed an escort of honor for the remains, headed by the Olympia band. The services were impressive. At the close a vast concourse reviewed the remains, many of whom had known the deceased for twenty and thirty years. Interment was at Riverside with Undertakers Lawhorn in charge and Curtis Harris acting as funeral director. The deceased leaves a sorrowing widow and son, a father and many other relatives. More than thirty years ago he came here and made his home, then only a young man. He has passed his life here and the sincere grief with which his death was received, the many expressions of love and kindli- --- nes, the flowers and all else that attends the funeral of the well-beloved, speak more than can any word of obituary. Mr. Smith was a kindly man, always one well met. He had sunshine in his eyes and pleasantness in his mouth. For the last few years he has been employed at the city hall. Now that he is gone it can only be said that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. Mrs. Frances Williams is in Mercy hospital suffering with fever.

PAGE. & Adopts New Constitution—Each State to Have Local Organization. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The National Independent Political league at its recent annual meeting in Atlantic City, N. J., adopted a new constitution by the terms of which local leagues are to be organized in every state. The committee on resolutions, of which William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, was chairman, concluded its report, as follows: "It is time, therefore, for an independent movement in politics. "We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present and confine our attention to men. We should vote and vote only M. W. MONROE TROTTER. for congressmen and other candidates for office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: "The enforcement of the constitution, to stop disfranchisement and peonage. "The passage of a national anti-jim-crow car law. "National aid to education with the same opportunities to all children. "National legislation against lynching and mob law. "The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. "To candidates of any party who pledge themselves to these measures we pledge our own votes and the votes of all black men whom we can persuade to stand on their manhood and vote like freemen." Governors Harmon of Ohio and Deneen of Illinois were commended for their course against lynching; harmony among the race rights organizations was urged and a hearing for Rev. Harvey Johnson on his Texas purchase plan urged. A committee of seven was appointed on the fiftieth anniversary of emancipation to confer with other bodies. The executive committee is composed of members representing forty states. The next annual meeting of the league will be held in Boston. The newly elected officers are the following: President, Bishop Alexander Walters, New York; organizer, Rev. J. M. Waldron, Washington; assistant organizer, W. C.

CHURCH HONORS ITS MINISTER Union Baptist Gives Rev Dr Lawrence Grand Reception Well Known Clergyman, Who Has Achieved Success In Many Fields, Is Feasted and Presented With Large Purse Before Going on Extended Trip South—Called Sunday School Pastor. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The testimonial reception given by the Union Baptist church, Orange, N. J., on Thursday evening, Sept. 1, in honor of its esteemed pastor, the Rev. William P. Lawrence, Ph. D., was in every way commensurate with the high character of the man and the services which he is rendering the people of his church and the community. Dr. Lawrence accepted the call of the Union Baptist church three years and a half ago. He was then pastoring in Elizabeth, where for six years he had met with marked success. As a pastor he has had a wide experience. Among the ministers of the New England Baptist missionary convention his advice in matters which require the most careful and thorough investigation is eagerly sought and relied upon by men many years his senior in the ministry. Dr. Lawrence may be justly called a Sunday school pastor. He is not only interested in the school of his own church, but in Sunday school work generally. He has successfully led the Sunday school forces of the Baptist denomination in New Jersey for the past nine years as president of the state Sunday school convention. During his three years' pastorate at the Union Baptist church Dr. Lawrence has added 510 persons to its membership, put in new pews, a large pipe organ and a new lighting plant. These improvements are paid for. In addition to the above, a new parsonage has been bought, upon which $1,100 has been paid, besides reducing the principal debt on the church at the rate of $700 a year. The total sum raised by Dr. Lawrence and his church for the three years amounts to over $15,000. The church has a membership of about 915. The morning congregation and the Bible school are more largely attended than those of any other church in the state. Dr. Lawrence will leave within a few days for New Orleans, where he will attend the annual meeting of the national Baptist convention, which convenes on Wednesday, Sept. 14. The literary program, which was presided over by the Rev. George E. Morris, D. D., of Morristown, N. J., was both interesting and instructive. The address of welcome was made by W. H. Corbin, president of the board of trustees. MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS. L. L. ROBERTS. THE WOMAN WHO WAS A WOMAN 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPH.

Fifteenth Session, Held In Baltimore, Breaks Record. THOUSANDS IN ATTENDANCE. State and City Officials, Noted Men of the Order, All Join In Making the Various Sessions Held of the Most Interesting Nature — Women Act Their Part Well. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Thousands of members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows were in attendance at the fifteenth session of biennial movable committee of the AIT, which met in Baltimore from Monday, Sept. 12, to Saturday, Sept. 17, inclusive. They came from all over the North American continent and the isles of the sea. They represent every phase M. EDWARD P. JONES, GRAND MASTER MIS SISSIPPI ODD FELLOWS. EDWARD P. JONES, GRAND MASTER MISSISSIPPI ODD FELLOWS. of social activity, many of whom have achieved more than local prominence. The opening session was held at the Center Market hall on Monday, Sept. 12, at 10 a. m. Welcoming addresses which made the visitors feel perfectly at home were delivered by Governor Crothers, Mayor Mahool and City Councilman Harry S. Cummings. "Baltimore greets today." said Mr. Cummings, "and with open arms extends a cordial welcome to the delegates, friends and visitors in attendance upon the sessions of the fifteenth biennial movable committee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America. We shall see to it that Maryland's reputation for hospitality shall not be gainsaid, that in no home shall there be an unwelcome sound or word, that good cheer and the loyal feeling of hearty Odd Fellowship shall everywhere prevail and that the wisdom of the last session shall be fully justified when it selected our beloved city as THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. the place of meeting for the session." Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia responded to Mr. Cummings' address in the following language: As I stand here and look upon you I realize that I am facing one of the finest bodies of Negro manhood and womanhood that can be assembled anywhere in the world, if, perchance, not the finest body. I regret to use the designation Negro manhood, for I am of the opinion that, taking into consideration the many years of Anglo-Saxon advantages in America and the Negro's disadvantages and hindrances in this the land of his birth, we present today a body of men that compares favorably with any body of men that America can assemble in any part of her vast domain. We do not fear comparison. They, the Anglo-Saxons, had England's, Germany's France's and Spain's accomplishments upon which they might begin their American career, and out of the best blood of these mother countries they have grown American Anglo-Saxon manhood. Not so with us. They tell us that our forefathers were stolen or entrapped from the lowest tribes of western African coast, and yet from these the lowest-tribes of Africa's most degenerate unfortunates we have in the very midst of American prejudice and hatred, in the midst of American hindrances and envy, through years of unrequited toll, through the very hell of American slavery, through the fires of American obstacles, with our manhood circumscribed, legislated against, with our womanhood debased, with our children deprived of privileges—we have grown a manhood sterling, stalwart and grand, a manhood that has competed with the Anglo-Saxon craze for money getting and has actually grown Negro millionaires in less than fifty years. We have entered the best universities and, instead of standing second to any, have won their coveted prizes. And by virtue of having taken these prizes in their highest institutions we have proved to the world that true culture knows not the texture of the hair nor the color of the skin, but regardless of these the colored American sees the prize of the Anglo-Saxon hanging high upon the tree of fame. He determines to climb, and higher, higher, even yet higher he climbs until he outstrips the youth of fairer hue, takes down the coveted prize amid the forced adulations of the white race. The colored people come forward with spontaneous rejoicing and place the prize upon his brow, they believing as he wears it that he is giving the lie to the old thread worn statement that a Negro is only fitted to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. In literature and letters we boast of our DuBois and a host of others, in painting Tanner, in music Coleridge-Taylor, in poetry Phillis Wheatley and Dunbar, in industrial education and general race usefulness Booker T. Washington, in oratory the noblest Roman of them all—Frederick Douglass And when the north pole should be discovered and the Anglo-Saxon should stand on the top of the earth Matt Henson, the Negro, was at his side to help unfurl Old Glory and plant the stars and stripes upon the apex of terra firma. And should any one doubt our fighting ability you shall be compelled to remember that all have been whipped to a frazzle by the pugilistic maneuvers of his sable majesty and by the intellectual skill of his ebony honor and with the Lord Chesterfield forbearance of his excellence the Hon. Mr. Jack Johnson. I cannot tell the progress made by our race as I stand here and look upon you, and could I tell it it would remain where it is told. Nor is it necessary that I should tell it. Your very presence here in Baltimore will show to this city that the colored American is a man of whom no nation should be ashamed. As you meet in your deliberations, as you walk the streets, as you abide in these homes, wherever you may go while here and whatever you may do, remember the eyes of the world are upon you. And I am sure when we shall have closed this B. M. C. Baltimore city will say and this country shall know that no finer body of Americans has ever visited this great city than the noble men and women of this present B. M. C. who sit before us today. This fine body of worthy men come from every section of our vast country. They come not as ecclesiastics, although there are in our ranks ministers and churchmen of highest standing; they come not as lawyers, doctors or ministers, but as brethren laboring in a common cause.

PARENTS HAVE A PART IN EDUCATING CHILDREN. despite all that the children learn as well as at sch despite all that schools can do. Let the children learn something at home as well as at school. Education is no impediment to its possessor. It is the one thing that we get which pays steady and sure dividends. It requires no insurance. Because of its superior qualifying features, no argument is needed to make it appear desirable. Yet we note too great laxity on the part of parents in sending their children to school and in encouraging them to make the most of their educational opportunity. Miss Saunders has studied under some of America's best teachers and is fully prepared to do first class work. The public would no doubt welcome her in the event she should decide to make a concert tour of the principal cities the coming winter. So long as prejudice exists, we may expect the children to suffer some inconveniences from it, as do the older people. Yet education is worth while for itself alone, and is worth the extra prejudice put upon us. Make the children feel that, no matter what comes, they should get all that the schools can give. Do not agree with their dissatisfaction when incidents occur that cause them to wish to throw up school. African Missions Prospering. There have been many encouraging reports from resident missionaries in Africa recently which show that much actual good is being accomplished. The work of the various religious organizations for foreign missions is not going for naught, and our people should see to it that they contribute their quota of money and personal labor and interest in sustaining mission stations in Africa. Then when at home, let parents give their children all that home surroundings can. Culture cannot be inculcated in a few hours in school with the greater part of the time spent at home amid uncultured and uncouth environment. Parents need not be scholars to be mannerly and courteous. Absence of book learning is no excuse for absence of common sense and common decency. Quarreling and reviling parents make criminals and worthless citizens of their offspring, Oneness of Political Independence. The best thing to be said about the attempt to deliver the Negro electorate of the country to any particular candidate is that it will be pretty sure to fail, says the Boston Herald. Political independence is good for the colored man as well as the white man. 000 DEBT NG RALLY ZION'S $3000 CANCELLING R ZION'S $3000 DEBT CANCELLING RALLY 1910 --- --- PAGE. 8.

Gilmore, desire to record this testimonial to his memory. Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty God to call from labor to reward our beloved Sir Knight and friend, I. G. Gilmore; and one of our most esteemed friends and citizens, whose life was of the highest type of manhood; and whereas, the Commandery has sustained the loss of a loyal citizen and Christian gentleman, therefore be it resolved. That the members of Hiram Commandery No. 20 extend their sincere sympathy to the bereaved family, in the loss of a beloved husband and a kind and indulgent father. So we ask the blessings of Almighty God for the protection of the bereaved family, especially for the wife and daughters. And we ask that copies of this resolution be recorded in our minutes, one to one family of the bereaved, one to the public press, The Statesman, The Colorado Statesman and The Independent. T. J.

The Question of Human Rights Speaking to a large audience of Afro-Americans in Brooklyn recently on the question of human rights, Charles Lenz, Ph. D., president of the Original Rights Society of America, said: "White nor black can compromise on the question of human rights. The south hates the north as much as it hates the Negro. It is the arch enemy of democracy. "The civil war was not carried to its logical conclusion, but it is too late now to correct the mistake. There is trouble ahead for the nation, for this question must be finally settled right." Independence In Politica. Speaking editorially of the political situation generally, the Cadiz (Ky.) Informer says: "There is a hopeful sign for the future. People of all parties and races are combining for their own good. A spirit of independence is seizing the press, and the people are thereby gaining." Successful Business Man. One of the most successful AfroAmericans in the upholstering business in Orange, N.

Where are the different clubs of music? Denver at one time could boast of having a mandolin club, but that is a thing of the past. Now, musicians, can't we have something in the line of music this season? Everybody likes it, and there is no reason why there shouldn't be a nice string orchestra in Denver, the same as of old. Get your heads together and let the people have something, musicclass.
