TWENTY-FIRST YEAR --HISTORICAL SKETCH-- NOTED EDUCATOR AND STATESMAN Rafael Cordero Was Highly Honored by Porto Rico. BENEFACTOR OF HIS PEOPLE. Taught School Without Salary For Fifty-five Years—Due Credit For Making Sentiment Which Finally Caused National Spanish Assembly to Abolish Slavery on the Island. By N. BARNETT DODSON. One of the most remarkable men which Porto Rico has produced was Rafael Cordero, a public school teacher, who was born on the island in October, 1790. He was a distinguished educator and a great agitator for the abolition of slavery in his native country. Mr. Cordero died in 1868. He was highly honored by the government and the municipality of San Juan, which had a life sized oil painting of him made and hung in the salon of the Economic society (now the Porto Rican Atheneum), of which he was an honorary member. He was subsequently by a decree of General Messina made a full teacher in the government schools in the municipality of San Juan. At one time in the teaching career of Cordero the Royal Economic society presented him with $100 in appreciation of his work and his unselfish interest in the welfare of his students. He courteously refused to accept the money for himself and when its representative insisted that he take it he accepted it and turned beneractor himself by bestowing it equally among the needy and deserving boys in his classes. After he had taught for fifty-five years, giving his services gratuitously, the government decided to award him a monthly stipend of $15. To the teachings of Rafael Cordero more than to any man in Porto Rico is due the credit for the abolition of slavery in that island. His school was a man factory. The decree of the national Spanish assembly issued in 1873 abolished slavery in Porto Rico forever. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 24, 1910 R. F. F. Cordaro RAFAEL CORDERO. In 1891 the municipality of San Juan celebrated with great pomp and solemnity, in which the church participated, the centenary of the birth of this learned Negro educator, and a marble tablet suitably inscribed was placed in the building where he taught as a testimony of his fellow countrymen, to his usefulness to society, to his moral and public worth and to his high character and generous impulses. Another Porto Rican teacher who was recognized as an able and careful instructor of Negro youth was Senor Benigno Lopez Castro, who, while learning the trade of shoemaker, prepared for the profession of teaching. He attended the free night classes in the Catholic seminary, after working all day at his trade, and was such an assiduous student that he had no difficulty in passing the rigid examination prescribed, passing with the highest honors in 1883. Speaking of his struggle to attain to the position which he won on his merits alone, he says: "Without having passed the shadowy gate of the primary school, discouraged and laughed at for my desire to learn, without stimulus or help from anybody. I feel proud to possess the title of elementary schoolmaster. A very prominent visitor to the city is Chaplain Gladden of the Twenty-fourth infantry, stationed at Madison Barracks, New York. He and Mrs. Gladden, bride and bridegroom, are visiting Dr. Ford for several days en route back home. They have been in Colorado Springs and expect to go through Cheyenne and Chicago returning. The Chaplain will preach at Zion church tomorrow morning. The many who know him are glad to see his exuberant health and will doubtless crowd the church to the doors. METHODISTS MEET IN PUEBLO State Historian & Natural History Society SATURDAY, SEPT. 24, 1910 METHOD MEE COLORADO ANNUAL CONFERENCE A The African Methodist Episcopal church closed its twenty-fourth annual session last Monday morning at Pueblo, Colo. Bishop A. Grant, D. D., presiding. The financial and statistical reports showed the conference to be in a healthy condition. The conference was divided. Arizona and New Mexico were set apart to know hereafter as the Arizona Conference with one P. E. District, to be known as the Albuquerque. The Colorado Conference is composed of the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and a small portion of Nebraska with one P. E. District, to be known as the Rocky Mountain District. The first session of the Arizona Conference will be held in Phenix, Ariz., September, 1911. The next session of the Colorado Conference will be held at Shorter Chapel, Deaver. The W. M. M. S. showed itself to be a very strong adjunct to the conference. Too much cannot be said in words of praise for its president, Mrs. E. E. Braxton and her able district superintendents, Mrs. E. N. Ward of the Denver District and Mrs. W. H. Prince of the Pueblo District The conference was highly entertained by St. John's A. M. F. church and all went away wishing how soon the time would come when they would be entertained again at Pueblo. The Baptist friends were more than cordial in their response to make it pleasant for the conference. The grand reception tendered by the church and the use of their building for committee work and extra meetings were all evidences of the mutual relation that exists between the two great Christian bodies. The various pupils were supplied by the ministers of the conference on Sunday. Bishop Grant was at his best and his fatherly advice will never be forgotten. The reports of the year were ahead of any up to this time. A steady growth in numbers and finance has characterized this conference and the year 1910 is up to standard in this respect. The case of Rev. Yochum was reconsidered. Appointments. Colorado Conference—Rocky Mountain District, Rev. J. C. C. Owens, P. E. Denver—Shorter Chapel, Rev. A M. Ward; Campbell Chapel, Rev. W. C.

T. Vernon, who is the register of the treasury. Prof. Vernon was elected some months ago and was expected to fill the place. Very recently he has failed to come to his post and the election of a successor was made necessary. The most prominent candidates for the place are Prof. H. T. Kealing, who has been editor of the A. M. E. Review for 16 years, and Rev. Jones of Kansas City, Kans. FALL OPENING An unusual interest attaches to the millinery opening of Mrs. Gatewood at her residence, 3233 Marion street, next Thursday, Sept. 29. She has just returned from a business trip to Eastonville and Peyton, where she had marked success. She is showing a wide variety of seasonable goods. Beside the goods themselves, she has extra features of price and methods of sale that will appeal to you. --- AFRO-AMERICANS IN NEW YORK Aggregate Wealth Estimated at Several Million Dollars. SECRET SOCIETY HOLDINGS. Condition of the Masses Not Materially Changed by Large Sums on Deposit. How Safe Investments Could Be Made Which Would Give Employment to Members of the Race. According to cent figures, AfroAmericans own property in New York city valued at $3,000,000. They are also said to have on deposit in the various banks and trust companies the sum of $4,000,000. While this is very encouraging, the fact still remains that the masses of the race in New York find it a hard problem to secure employment which pays enough to cover the rent and grocery bills. In this connection, however, it should be remembered that the high cost of living for the past few years has greatly decreased the savings capacity of the people. House rent, insurance and society dues must be paid. The more thrifty of those who have by rigid economy saved anything have been those engaged in certain lines of business and the professions - such for instance, as the undertaker, the employment agency business, the doctor, the lawyer and the preacher. As to the amount of cash on deposit to the credit of the race, it is a well known fact that from one-half to two-thirds of it belongs to secret societies and fraternal organizations. For the safe keeping of these millions of dollars, which they use in their business, the banks and trust companies pay a small per cent to the depositors. Would it not be far better if a sufficient amount of the money which these organizations have on deposit was invested in some line of business in which it could yield a large percentage and at the same time give employment to members of the race? Such a move would not only increase the revenue of the society, but would be a double benefit to the race. Since it is a fact that the members of these organizations unite in voting for their money to be deposited they have the same right to vote its use for business purposes. With not a suitable hall or lodge room of their own in which to hold their meetings and entertainments, it seems that it is high time some action along this line should be taken. There are secret and mutual benefit organizations among us which have on deposit sums ranging from three to six and nine thousand dollars. Enough from either of these amounts could be safely taken and profitably invested in real estate, where it would yield a sum equal to that invested in a few years. A suitable building for holding meetings and entertainments could be bought or leased. Such parts of it as were not used by the society could be rented to other organizations. The right kind of building properly fitted THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. up would accommodate a sufficient number of tenants to pay current expenses and within a reasonable time pay for the property. The feasibility of such a plan as is here mentioned may be clearly seen when it is known that the majority of the leading organizations are incorporated bodies. Their constitution, bylaws and charter specify that they cannot be dissolved as long as a certain number of members remain in the organization. There is no more risk for a society to use its money to engage in business for itself than it is to deposit it for other concerns to use in their business. The principle in either case is the same. Autumn Festival of Hope Day Nursery. The annual autumn festival of the Hope Day Nursery For Colored Children will be held at Manhattan Casino, New York, on Friday evening, Sept. 16. The organization has done a most helpful and beneficial work in its chosen field for the race and is carried on by women who are truly interested in the uplift of the youth of the race along all lines. 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. 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. Moss of Norfolk, Va., who will take charge on Sunday, Sept. 4. New York Y. W. C. A. Well Managed. The West Fifty-third street branch of the Young Women's Christian association. New York, has more than met its expenses during the dull summer season. The report of the secretary, Miss Cora B. Jackson, shows that for the month of August the association's receipts amounted to $330, while the expenses were only $293. Miss Jackson and the various committees are planning for large work during the fall and winter season. National Negro Press Association. R. W. Thompson of Washington, corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press association, writing to the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide, says: "The second meeting of the National Negro Press association, held recently in New York, was a gratifying success. The newspapers of the nation are unanimous in support of it. It is measuring up to its opportunity and will grow with the passing of the years." Good! COHEN & HOUSTON (Successors to THE ALLEN INVESTMENT CO.)

Jockey Williams, one of the clever colored jockies of the country, left Denver this week for Lexington, Ky., to ride, and also New Orleans, where he will ride this winter.

Proper act for a whole lot of money is my system, says Gertie Le Clair. She has one of the cleverest picked shows in vaudeville of colored boys and girls and is booked solid on the Keith and Proctor circuit for forty weeks, at a said salary of $800 per week. There are seven in all. This company were the headliners at the Crescent theatre, New York, last week and went big. THE YALE TRIO.

In a ten-round contest last Monday night in New York city, Dick Nelson outboxed the recognized welterweight champion, Dixie Kid. The Kid was in bad from the go; he gave away pounds to Nelson and was defeated for doing so, but yet he has a hope of beating the terrible Dick over the long distance route. THE SMART SET CO. Headed by S. H. Dudley, opened their season at the Howard colored theatre in Washington, D. C., the 5th of this month, playing to capacity houses the whole week. Mrs. Ada Overton Walker and Lottie Grady are two added attractions with the company, which makes it the best colored company on the road this season.

The Chocolate Drops, who made such a hit in Denver last season at the Majestic, left last Monday for London, England, where they are booked for a solid year, King & Baily stars. SAM LANGFORD IS THE MAN TO BEAT JOHNSON. Since Sam Langford did such neat work with Joe Jennette in their recent fight, all of the fight fans down East are running wild over the prospect of Sam beating Johnson, the same as he did Jennette. But they don't seem to realize that there is a great difference in both men and my idea about the matter is just this: that if they ever fight for the great money that would be in sight, Sam would be taken from the ring a dead man. LELAND GIANTS TRAVELING EAST AND SOUTH. Rube Foster and his fast champion baseball team are now in New York, when they will soon leave for the southern cities to play exhibition games. And they still nave $5,000 to wager that they can beat any baseball team in the world, white or black. That's going the limit. THE R. M. A. C.

Carter asd Miss Ethel Scott were happily united in the bonds of matrimony in the presence of a few friends at the bride's residence, 2551 Clarkson, by Rev. J. A. Thos. Hazell. We wish the newly married couple God's chosen favor in their undertaking. Last Sabbath Mr. J. D. Rice preached us an excellent sermon. At the close of the service Madames Laura Hill, Ida Purcell and Louis Spees applied for membership. Their examination on religious experience and financial ability to contribute to the People's church having been sustained by the session, these ladies will be publicly received at the next communion service, Oct. 2. The pastor and elder, Dr. Crosthwait, attended the fall meeting of Presbytery last Tuesday at Golden. The elder wonderfully impressed the Presbytery. The stand he took for the race in toto and specially for the church to which he now belongs is sure to result in mutual good for all concerned. The pastor's report on the Preedmen's work was received with favorable comments. Colored Presbyterians raised tor all purposes among themselves last year $63,339. The church at large contributed to this board $207,799.43, being an increase of $22,285.85 over the previous year. Nineteen churches of Denver Presbytery were tardy in their contributions to this work last year. In view of this, the chairman, Rev. Thos-Hazeli, included some radical recommendations in his report to the executive commission of Presbytery, which were adopted without amendment. TRINIDAD. COLO. Mrs. J. L.

As it was the dancing pavilion, the skating rink, the lunch rooms, etc., were crowded. Under C. B. Hill's direction free barbecued meat was served until the weather interfered. The program was abridged also because of the weather. It is too bad, but it cannot be helped.

Standard in all that he says in reference to the demeanor of Scott Bond of Arkansas, who made a real monkey of himself at the recent meeting of the National Negro Business league. Mr. Bray says it is much to be regretted that Scott Bond, the wealthy Arkansas Negro, failed to get at least a little politeness and culture along with his great wealth. Money does not make the gentleman. His admission that he does not patronize Negro banks shows a lack of confidence in race institutions, and that he was utterly devoid of respect for his race was demonstrated by the manner in which he addressed the audience, many times as "you niggers." Social Season Begun at Pittsburg. The first fall reception and dance of the Imperial Social club of St. Benedict's Roman Catholic church, Pittsburg, was held at Southern park on Tuesday afternoon and evening, Sept. 13. It was an invitation affair. Therefore it brought together a company of persons more or less acquainted with each other, and all had a good time. President James Bell was on hand at an early hour to welcome the guests. Music was furnished by the well known Crescent orchestra. 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.

The Rev. W. R. Stephens of Colorado Springs will preach Sunday morning and hold the second quarterly conference. The Rev. Stephens is an eloquent preacher and a financier of the first order. The Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of Campbell's A. M. E. church, will deliver the communion sermon Sunday afternoon. The sister churches are invited to hear him on this occasion. The pastor, the Rev. J. N. Wallace, preached the rally sermon for the Peoples M. E. church last Sunday at the Springs. The church rolled up $1,353.72. The mortgage on the church edifice and the parsonage will be paid when $200.00 more is raised. This is a splendid record when the fact is known that the pastor just left the walls of Gammon Theological Seminary last spring. Mrs. Sallie A. Ramsey preached a soul-stirring sermon last Sunday morning. The revival is at its greatest heat. Already fourteen have been reclaimed and converted. The meetings will close Sunday night. We invite our friends who have helped us so nobly in this series of meetings to be sure and be out Susday night, as sister Ramsey will deliver her farewell sermon. Mrs. Frances E. Williams, who continues ill at the Mercy hospital, is much improved. She will soon be at her post of duty. Mrs. Anna Ledbetter has been ill at her home on Colfax. She is much improved at this writing. After Sunday all regular meetings of the week will assume their normality. We urge the officers to make a full report Saturday night to the Second Quarterly conference. Mr. J. D. Rice will leave for South Atlanta, Ga., about the first of October, where he will enter Gammon Seminary for his second year's work. Mr. Rice has served several of the city churches very efficiently. We wish him much success during his stay at Gammon. Mrs. Martna Anderson will leave for Kansas City next week. Mrs. Anderson has been in our city for the past year. The Epworth League, under the able leadership of Mr. G. E. Townsend, has been rendering splendid service every Sunday evening by conducting the prayer service. Mrs. Anna Bobo-Dawson is in our city looking after her business interests and also circulating among friends. She looks the very picture of health. She left the Reverend behind to look after his church work. She is being initiated in the grand work of the parsonage. A big storm blew over their way the first night they were in their home in Alma, Kansas, and many good things were left in its devastating trail which CAGE 40 THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. made the soul of the groom happy. Announcements will be made soon of a very comical drama being gotten up by the young people of the church for the benefit of the piano committee. We would like to give them a royal crowd on this occasion. We ask our friends to assist us in raising a goodly sum for the services of our faithful evangelist who has labored so hard to reach the unsaved in Denver. We thank you in advance for any amount that you will give us. The Junior League will resume its Sunday afternoon meetings after the termination of the revival. We invite the old members to come out and bring some new ones. Refreshments will be served. The Ladies' Aid Society will meet next Thursday evening at the parsonage for the election of officers. We invite all members and friends to be present. Plans for the next six months' work will be considered at this meeting. --- NEW ENGLAND WOMAN REBUKES SCOTT BOND. Resents Arkansas Farmer's Insult to Women of the Race. The following letter, which recently appeared in the columns of the Boston Post under the signature of Miss Carrie O. Reed, voices the sentiment no doubt of nine-tenths of the colored citizens of the United States. Miss Reed says: I have read with indignation of the wide publicity which you have seen fit to give through the columns of the Post to the utterances of one Scott Bond, a delegate to the so called colored business men's convention held recently in the city of New York. In your editorial this morning you discuss the relative merits of his advice to the colored people of the north to "come out to Arkansas and farm" with that of Oswald Garrison Villard advising "solidarity" as an effective aid to the Negro's future. You ask the pertinent questions: "Which wins?" "Which ought to win?" May I ask you, the editor of a leading Boston daily paper, expressing a keen interest in the future of the Negro, whose advice would you, were you a Negro, accept—that of Mr. Villard, a recognized scholar, a gentleman and an acknowledged friend of the race, or that of Scott Bond, an illiterate Negro whose pretended wealth of $4,000,000 has dwindled, according to recent publications, to less than $50,000, a man whose only claim to notoriety is a chance publication of his harangue before a convention in which he not only degrades himself by boasting of the fact that he is a "nigger," but revels in vilification, abuse and slander of the women of his race? Scott Bond lives in Arkansas, where he is denied the right to vote or to have any part in the making of the laws which govern him and regulate the farms which he says he owns. I ask you, Mr. Editor, which ought to win? Ernest Howard CARPENTER AND General Contractor PLANS DRAWN ESTIMATES FURNISHED Shop, 1023 21st Street PHONE MAIN 3230 Res., 353 W.

The funeral procession was headed by the Olympia band. Rarely have so many encomiums come to the dead as are commonly heard of Mr. Raines. His tragic death by accident doubtless brought out in bold relief the feelings which have been generally held toward him. The bereaved widow who is left to mourn has much sympathy.

In our recent trip through Texas we were disappointed to find the long drought still unbroken in most parts. This will result in a very short cotton crop, the staple of that great common- wealth. Of course, the advanced price will help somewhat to modify the evil results of the scarce yleld. But this increased price will not help the cot- ton pickers and when it is remem- dered that the great mass of the col- ored people of that section depend quite largely upon the cotton harvest for their support, we can realize what this yleld of less than a half crop means to them.

The success of Miss Vera Lee, who has been recently appointed to a posi- tion in the census bureau in Wash- ington, ought to give encouragement and inspiration to other young women of education. Many of our young wo- men who have spent years in school if they do not find suitable employ- ment immediately after graduating of- ten become discouraged. This should not be. In the first place parents should consider well the kind of education their children should have. If this is done with a view to their future occupation many of the difficulties which now confront the educated youth of the race will be easily overcome. The main trouble has been the non- selection of a profession or trade upon entering school. We lave been con } tented foo loug with the mere satis- faction that “my boy or girl” is in school and will graduate next sum- mer. Proper training in most cases brings the desired results. A literary course for the purpose of teaching should be planned to that end. The same « of business courses, trades aud the other professions. We study medicine for the purpose of engaging in its practice as a profes- sion. The same principle holds good as regards the other professions. Un- ‘€ we get down to these basic princi- ples our boys and girls who graduate from the various institutions of learn- ing without special preparation for a given calling will be greatly handi capped. Miss Lee would not have secured her present position if her education had not been planned along right lines: She is a graduate of the Girls’ High school. Brooklyn, class of 1909.

State Convention, CHEERING REPORTS HEARD, Ngtous Workers Shows Frogress In Work of Uplift Among Its Constitu- ency — Still Closer Union Sought. Praised by Leading White Men. The forty-first annual meeting of the Virginia Baptist state Sunday school cenvention, recently held in Lexing- ton, Va., was attended by large dele- gations of religious workers from most all parts of the state. The sessions of the convention were held in the First Baptist church, of which the Rev. J. W. Tyres, B. D., is pastor, and were presided over by the president, Mr. R. T. Hill of Richmond, Va. The opening exercises were conduct- ed by Revs. J. J. Spottswood, 8 W Turner and J.J. Carter. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Miss Janie Gooch on behalf of the Baptist Young People’s union, Miss Martha Toler on behalf of the Sunday school, Rev. J. W. Tyres, B. D., pastor, on behalf of the church, and Hon. Samuel! B. Wa)- ker, mayor, on behalf of the city. Dr. J. E. Jones of Richmond and R. EB Clay delivered excellent addresses in response. The Bible institute section of the convention was conducted by the Rey, Dr. D. N. Vass of Raleigh, N. C., and was one of the most helpful and in- structive features of the convention. The annual sermon was also preached by Dr. Vass. The introductory sermon by the Rev. W. J. Lucas and the address by Mr. Conway Cobbs on the “Necessity For Mission Work” were gems of thought, filled with apt illustrations, The con tribution for mission work following Mr. Conway's address amounted to $23. The reports on finance, membershin and the general work of the Sunday schools were of the most encouraging nature and showed that the schools had made splendid progress during the year and were in a flourishing cond! tion. Perhaps no paper or address deliv ered during the three days’ session of the convention attracted more atten- tion than the address on “Baptist Doc- trine In Baptist Sunday Schools,” which was made by Dr. C. H. Jobnson of Bristol, Va. The subject “Temperance” was ably discussed by Mrs. A. T. Morris, a wo man who is thoroughly alive to the needs of the peopte along temperance lines. The program of the Baptist Young People’s union, which was good all the way through, was presided over by the president, Mr. R. E. Clay of Bristol. How to influence members of the church and Sunday school in the work of the Young People’s union was brought out tn a clear and concise manner {n a paper by Mrs. H. KR. Stu art. The work in this department is also in a progressive state and very attractive. The following representatives spoke for their respective organizations: Profes-or W. F. Grasty, Halifax in- stitute; Mrs. G. W. Goode, Pittsyl- vania Institute; Dr. J. E. Jones. Virgin- ja Union university; Mrg. M. E. Bur- rell, Colored Women's Federation: Professor W. E. Robinson, R. I. Acad emy; Professor Caleb Robinson. Mc- Kinley institute; Mrs. J. H. Hughes Women's Missionary Union of Tide- water and Corey Memorial institute; Mrs. J. H. Blackwell, Women's Edu- cational and Missionary association of Virginia. Among the other prominent speak- ers were Drs. P. 8. Lewis, Charlotte, N. C.; A. Binga, Manchester, Va, and W. T. Johnson. Richmond, Va. The convention transacted a deal of busi- ness which is calculated to do much good in bringing about a closer union and a better understanding among the Baptist of the state. The delegates and all who attended are loud in their praise of the people of Lexington. who did everything in thelr power to make {t pleasant for the visitors. Lexington is one of the best towns in the state for our peo ple. The best of feeling between the races existed. Among the white friends who came to visit and say a word to the convention were Hon Harry St. George Tucker. Ex-Mayor Canady, Lawyer Shields and Dr. Man ly, pastor of the white Baptist church These were all loud in their praise ot the colored people of Lexington The convention raised $1,325.76.

Valle’s Penmanship Praised by Lowe. “Not one man in a bundred fills his application blanks intelligently or with as good penmanship as this mau.” Thus spoke J.-M. Lowe, chairman of the board of election commissioners of Kansas City, Mo., in referring recently to Henry T. Valle, an Afro-American who registered as a Democrat in mak- ing application to qualify as an elec- tion official Negro Vote Not so Easily Delivered. With all due deference to the Na- tional Negro Business Men's league. we don’t believe that it or any other organization can deliver the colored vote to any candidate for president. says the Boston Journal. The colored vote has a good many “deliverers,” but the vote itself, in the north at least, is not at the service of those who pretend to deliver tt. Annual Clambake of Y. M. C. A.

Especially do, we wish to commend his administration for its attitude toward colored people. Therefore it is a pleasure to know that he is the new chairman of the Republican state central committee. He occupies a post of great responsibility and his friendliness will mean much to us who know all too few friends. A former resident of Colorado Springs and one who was active in politics, gives an unqualified endorsement to John Stephen, the Republican nominee for governor. We are glad to hear a man spoken of as did this man speak of Stephen. May he win, as his merits deserve. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LABOR. Comparison Between Italian and Negro Laborers In the South. A three years' experiment in substituting Italian labor for Negro labor in the cotton fields has come to naught in Jefferson county, Ark., says the Pine Bluff Daily Graphic. The reasons for the failure seem to be psychologic rather than strictly economic. John M. Gracie, on whose plantation the experiment was conducted, has found that in actual labor efficiency the Italian field hands show a marked superiority to the Negro, but that such superiority is more than wiped out by a lack of tractability on the part of the Italian laborer and the difficulty of holding him to contract obligation. To this subject there are undoubtedly two sides. The experience of Italian laborers and colonists in the south has not always been such as to encourage the highest degree of trustfulness in the Italian immigrant. In some sections of the south conditions have reached a point where the Italian government has seen fit to discourage immigration altogether. But, whatever may be the rights and wrongs of the situation, the fact stands out clearly enough that no wholesale eviction of the Negro by the Italian is within the possibilities of the practical future. The Negro will remain the source and reservoir of the south's labor supply. PUBLIC LIBRARY WORK. Attention Called to New Field of Employment and Self Help. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. With the advanced facilities for education and the increasing population of the large cities from year to year public libraries are becoming more important agencies for free instruction. Since it is true that a large number of clerks and assistants are required to carry on the work in libraries we call the attention of the young women of our race to the splendid opportunity open to them to prepare themselves to all such positions. --- PAGE. 8.

The course in most instances covers a period of from five to seven months. Upon completion of the required course those who pass a satisfactory examination are placed upon the eligible list for the positions of assistants. From this list appointments are made to salaried positions. The work is congenial and at the same time instructive. COLORED STATE FAIR TO BE HELD IN NASHVILLE. State Association of Tennessee Will Show Progress of the Race. The Tennessee Colored State Fair association will open in Nashville on Tuesday, Sept. 27. The fair will continue for five days, concluding on Saturday, Oct. 1, with a great live stock parade. The Rev. Preston Taylor, general manager of the association, and his associates have been busily engaged in gathering suitable material for exhibition for several months. Rev. Mr. Taylor announces that the fair this year will far exceed in every particular those held in previous years. Daily exhibitions of live stock, races of all kinds and open air horse shows each night will be of the highest order. In addition to these band concerts will be given throughout the meeting. In the floral and agricultural hall will be seen all kinds of flowers, potted plants, fine arts, children's and women's work, table luxuries and farm products, all the production of Negro brain and brawn, and in the different classes will be offered larger premiums than have heretofore been awarded by the association. TO OUST POLITICAL BOSSES. Hearst Wants Roosevelt to Help Drive Them From Power. Mr. Hearst makes the proud boast in his letter cabled to the New York American recently that he controls 150,000 voters, and he invites Roosevelt to join him in putting down the bosses in both the old parties. Mr. Hearst's utterances at this time conceal more than they reveal. There is a deeper significance in what he says and in the manner he says it than is now apparent. Can any Negro political leader in America today speak as authoritatively as to how the Negro will vote as Mr. Hearst has spoken for the white men allied with him in his Independence league? Can any Negro leader guarantee 500 or 1,000 Negro votes to any candidate in either party now or hereafter? If he can (and we are from Missouri and --- TERMS. Enters Suit Against Onancock, Va. and Board of Supervisors. One of the oddest cases in the history of race riots was presented recently when Samuel L. Burton, a Negro of Onancock, Va., entered suit for $100,000 against the town of Onancock and the board of supervisors of Accomac county in the United States court at Norfolk, Va., for damages alleged to have been done to him in 1907. Mr. Burton asserts that his business, amounting to $10,000 a year, was broken up as a result of a riot which occurred in Onancock on Aug. 10, 1907, which caused him to flee for his life. He charges that the authorities of Onancock and Accomac county aided in the riot and caused him to spend almost a year in jail before he was finally acquitted of a charge of murder as a result of his appeal to the superior court of Virginia from a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary. Another charge made by Mr. Burton is that his place was burned by either the defendants named or at their instance and that property valued at $2,500 had been confiscated. He says he is still the victim of the conspiracy, as he is restrained from returning to his home on account of threats to do him harm. The New York state branch of the Mite Missionary society of the A. M. E. church held its annual meeting at Amityville, N. Y., for two days during the week ending Sept. 17. The sessions were well attended, and the delegates took a lively interest in the work. The reports were very gratifying and fully up to the standard of previous years. Mrs. Emma S. Ransom of Bethel church, New York, presided. Well, it will be Governor John either way it goes, John Stephen or John Shafroth.

Mr. Smith is connected with many thrifty business concerns and will no doubt make good use of his new found honors. Date of Meeting Changed to Oct. 6. The meeting of the campaign committee of the National Independent Political league formally scheduled to meet in Washington on Sept. 28 has been changed to Thursday, Oct. 6. The new Globe theater in Jacksonville, Fla., is attracting considerable attention as the season approaches. It is one of the most attractive playhouses in the south for the accommodation of Afro-Americans. The interior decorations and stage scenery are of the most approved modern type. Only first class performers are booked, and the whole management is of a high order. Opening of Avery Training School. The attendance at the fall opening of the Avery training school, Pittsburg, on Monday, Sept. 12, was very gratifying to the faculty. Miss Mabel Randolph of Philadelphia has been secured as one of the instructors. She is a graduate of Drexel institute and is well qualified for the duties of her new field. CITY NEWS.

PAQE. & Pierce Condemned BALAT 6T PRR ORFPRLJIRIQ@) — PRsONse MTN. People’s Sunday Alliance, in a meet- ing Sept. 11, 1910, at 1712 Curtis St., passed the following resolution: Whereas, the Peoples Sunday Alli- ance, an organization representing th: moral and civic interests of the col- ored citizen of Colorado, and as it has been known to us for some time that Secretary of State Pierce, after receiv- ing the loyal support of the colored voters of this state, conducted himself in a manner unbecoming to a gentle- man toward a colored lady, Mrs. lda Depriest, and, Whereas, he has sought to inflict upon the colored citizens of this state the pernicious doctrine of taxation without representation, by stating that “he did not believe that colored persons should have a desk in the of- fice with white persons,” and as the colored voters of this state in 1908 gave the preponderence of their votes to the Democracy, and as their more than eight thousand voters will use every honorable means not only in self- defense, but in defense of the prin- ciples of Democracy to defeat. him, and in so doing may jeopardize the interests of other good Democrats upon the ticket; Whereas, fundamental Democra‘y condemns the oppressive doctrine of caste, and seeks to extend to all hu- manity, regardless of race, creed or color, the equality of opportunity, and, Whereas, his pretense of being a friend and representative of labor is a sham and hollow mockery, and {s an insidious attempt to steal the thunder of the honest and honorable Roady Kennehan, who went from the anvil to the state capitol and-truly repre- sents labor; therefore, be it Resolved, that we appeal to the manhood and womanhood of the Colo- rado Democracy to rebuke his willful abuse of the principles of Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln, and relieve all of the citizens of this state, as well as your colored allies, from the insult- ing oppression of Secretary Pierce by refusing him a place upon your ticket Be it further Resolved, that we condemn the at- tempt to deceive and defraud labor into the support of one who attempts to instill contempt and kill self re- spect of aspiring colored Americans. for it is such as he who has mace this country a bonanza for demigogs, and a plaything for mobs, and white and biack labor whose interests are one, suffer the penalty thereof.
