OBJECT LESSON BY CANDIDATE
OBJECT L BY C
OBSERVATIONS ON THE RECENT ELECTION.
An Open Letter to General Public: The election has come and gone. The results whether satisfactory or not, will be accepted pacifically by most of us. But whetner it has brought joy or sadness, financial benefits or sacrifices, we should not close our eyes to the lessons that it has to teach us. As the Negro candidate on the third party county ticket, I feel some expression of appreciation is due my people as well as to the other genuine American citizens who made our representation possible and supported our candidacy so loyally. For be it said to the credit of the promoters of the reform measures that their sincerity in their proffer to give us representation was evident by the returns at the polls Tuesday, Nov. 8th. I do not feel that this support was an indication of personal support, for politically I am unknown; therefore I accept whatever was accorded me as an indication of fairness towards my people by broadminded white citizens. I am not ashamed nor chagrined by the outcome, I am proud to be identified with the forward movement and to have been the candidate representing my people.
To me, untrained in political usages, many lessons were learned and many new observations made. And while I do not set myself up as a critic, yet I am of the opinion that some of my observations coming from the angle of the plain citizens will be of service to some. I observed first, that there was an intelligent division of the Negro vote. This is as it should be. The Negro should be represented in all civic organizations making for the upbuilding of the upbuilding of the country in general and the race in particular. But the division should upon principle and an honest difference of opinion as to means and methods of accomplishing the greatest good to the largest number.
Again, I observed, shall I say an inherent weakness of character, or is it the result of years of certain influences operating against manly development? Whatever is the cause, the fact is apparent that some of our leaders have not the hardihood to stand forth as men on questions touching the general welfare. I do not by this
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 26. 1910
mean to accuse those who may differ from us of being cowards. Many may differ on personal grounds and we grant it; many may differ from us for as good a reason as we may have to differ from them, and we respect their judgment; many on account of circumstances dare not stand on principle, and we pity them; but it is the man whose position and intelligence demand our profound respect who sacrafice principle for policy that justly deserve our condemnation. But I will no longer dwell upon the characteristics of pigmies when the contemplation of the symmetry and strength of giants is more inspiring and helpful. For we are proud to note that in contrast with the previously described traits the emergency gave opportunity to men of character. Stalwart leaders of the people who would even dare to oppose a fetish, and a popular prejudice for the future and larger welfare of their people. Much honor is due to men who have the courage of their convictions, to leaders whose silence if not golden could have been reckoned to them in silver, leaders who refused to stultify their moral code or lower the standing of their race in the eyes of an observing public, men who in the face of personal unpopularity and private loss spoke out in no uncertain sounds. Such men can be trusted, for courage of this stamp is certainly the stuff of which heroes are made. And time will prove their worth to the people.
In taking such a stand temporary loss may be sustained by them but nobility of character is added to them instead, and good accrues to the race and the community that possesses them.
From the standpoint of a plain citizen, the Negro politician who did not encourage Negro voters to support their candidate lost a stragetic point. For if the powers that be had recognized in the returns, that the ticket carrying the Negro candidate had the colored voters support, how much more effective would be the plea of Negro boss for larger recognition? And to the extent that this was neglected will the principle of reaction upon shortsighted selfishness be demonstrated. Either farsighted and considerate Negro political leaders must be had or we as a people will soon be eliminated from political consideration altogether. We are being weigh-

ed in the balance, shall we be found wanting?
Many, no doubt, will receive these remarks as a venting of injured personal feeling but nothing is farther from the motive of the writer. These observations and opinions are expressed for a future service, in case we should have another opportunity with some other Negro candidate. But because a few cannot discern between a selfish vindictiveness and a frank discussion of a subject in which the speaker is involved, does not appear to me to be a sufficient reason for not discussing the facts. No ill-will is entertained because of an honest difference of opinion nor do I hold grudge against some who even took advantage of an opportunity offered the race to settle a personal issue with me. I have the best of feelings towards one and all and have written with a hope of service to my people. We may differ in many ways but then we have learned much.

THE DEERFIELD COLONY.
It has been recorded in these columns how several persons have been taking up land in Weld county under the homestead laws. Now as a result of this there has been formed a corporation there to be known as the Deerfield Development company which aims to make the conditions of the Deerfield colony better by decreasing expense and improving the ranches more expeditiously and cheaply. Its plans so far as matured now consist of preparing to purchase well-boring machinery with which they will sink wells on the various properties. They will also buy machinery to help make the crop. J. N. B. Anderson of this city is a member of the company and will be in charge of the well machinery.
MANHOOD RIGHTS UPHELD.
Nation Revolts at Idea of Disfranchisement, Says the Oregonian.
In view of the fight which is being waged by the Democrats of Maryland to disfranchise the colored voters of the state, the following editorial from a recent issue of the Portland (Ore.) Oregonian is most timely as well as encouraging:
"The Oregonian has been favored with a little leaflet or tract whose purpose is to argue for the disfranchisement of the Negroes by a constitutional amendment. No such amendment can ever be passed.
"The national sense of justice revolts at the idea, to begin with, and it is
FIVE CENTS A COI
safe to believe that the country is not yet prepared to sacrifice everything that was won by the blood and expense of the civil war. Still, the little tract is interesting on many accounts, chiefly perhaps for its frank barbarism and candid ignorance."
ASSEMBLYMAN H. W. BASS.
Elected by Large Vote From Sixth District In Philadelphia.
Afro-Americans in Pennsylvania, and especially the voters in the Sixth district of the Seventh ward in Philadelphia, are to be congratulated upon the unusually large vote which they polled at the recent election. From the Sixth district in Philadelphia Harry W. Bass was elected to the assembly by a large vote, due in the main to the fact that Afro-Americans were particularly careful in seeing to it that every man of the race of legal voting age registered.
Mr. Bass is well known, capable and energetic. He is a native of Chester, Pa., and is noted for his sincerity and devotion to such measures as will tend to advance the interest of the race. We bespeak for Mr. Bass a successful career in the rightful performance of duty in his new field.
Keep Down High Handed Injustice.
The fight which the colored citizens of Maryland are making against the disfranchising scheme of the Democratic party in the state is admirable. Let the voters of West Virginia do their best also to beat back and keep down high handed injustice of the same kind.
Evidence of Prejudice Easily Discovered In Both Parties.
Speaking presumably of the recent election and the part which colored men played in bringing about the defeat of the Republican candidates in the various states and municipalities, the Indianapolis Freeman wisely asks: "What else was there to do but to do it? "Prejudice and discrimination are on the increase. Restrictions of a hurtful character are painfully evident. All of this with but very little protest. These things do not come from parties as such, but from the units of parties—the individual. A party will behave no better than its component parts.
"The stream will rise no higher than its source and the rest of the little philosophies. A Republican hotel keeper discriminates as certainly as a Democratic hotel keeper. What's in an appeal from Caesar to Caesar?"

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS. CIVIL WAR VETERAN DIES. csososceosonorononosonorox
Anpuall Conferences to, Be Held «| Robert Schoefield Was Member ae nr annarritn’
eee ieee ened perenne aan Rae,
The next annual meeting of the Tus-
kegee Negro farmers’ conference will
be held at Tuskegee (Ala.) institute on
Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 18-19,
1911. Farmers throughout Macon and
adjoining counties report an increase
in farm products this year far beyond
any previous time for several years.
This increase has come about large-
ly through a better knowledge of how
to till the soil, the selection of seed
and how to take advantage of plant-
ing time. Many of the former meth-
ods of farming have been done away
with, and year by year farmers are
pursuing more advance methods along
all lines of agricultural pursuit.
Many of those who cultivate large
acreages attribute much of their suc-
cess to the information received at
these annual conferences. For these
and many other reasons the 1911 con-
ference should be more largely attend-
ed than ever before.
PRESS ASSOCIATION TO
MEET IN MUSKOGEE.
Western Editors Will Hold Fourteenth
Annual Convention Nov. 25.
The fourteenth annual convention of
the Western Negro association will be
held in Muskogee, Okla., for two days,
beginning on Friday, Noy. 25. The
meeting will bring together many of
the leading men of the west who have
gained distinction in their respective
callings.
In the call for the convention sent
out by President John L. Thompson,
Secretary J. D. Bowser and the execu-
tive committee public attention is di-
rected to the following topics for con-
sideration: “Realizing that the pen ts
the most potent power when it is
rightly used for the betterment of
civilization and the ultimate solution
of all social, industrial, economic and
political problems of this century.
therefore we call upon the editors,
correspondents, publishers, journalists
and co-workers, book and magazine
writers and men and women engaged
in the industrial arts allied to newspa-
per work to meet with us.”
Addresses, papers and essays will
be read on topics pertaining to the
real needs of the race in the large
elties and in the rural districts. ‘Ten
minutes will be given to each speaker
in opening discussions, Corresponding
Secretary H. R. Graham predicts a
large gathering.
Baptist Institutions and Students.
Recent reports show that there were
in colored Baptist educational institu-
tions during the past year 19,701 stu-
dents in normal ‘departments, 384 in
the college departments, 639 in the
theological; industrial, 3,832; medical,
80; law, 15. There were 824 teachers,
and the total number of students,
classified and miscellaneous, was 18,-
044.
The Nature of Disfranchisements.
Disfranchisements sre racial, not
partisan, says the Indianapolis (Ind.)
Freeman. If partisan in the best sense
they would not stand any more show
at Washington than a jaybird. They
would be shot to pieces. Gentlemen,
they are racial—white men versus
black men.

JACK JOHNSON TO GO ABROAD.
Jack Johnson, the actor and heavyweight champion prize fighter of the world, will have to go abroad as the life of sport in this country is beginning to work on his nerves and the doctors say a trip abroad will do him good.
JACK GRAHAM RE-ENTERS THE PRIZE RING.
Known in the past as Jack Grim the heavyweight fighter an dat one time the opponent of Tommy Ryan and Kid McCoy, has once more entered the game and is hot on the trail of K.d Cotton, the man who helped put Johnson in trim for Jeffries. Grim will take on any man in the world in the middle or light heavyweight division but would rather meet Cotton as he is a big card around Pittsburg in those six round bouts.
Messrs. Wel's & Hardin will present Leon Pryor & Co., of all star vaudevillians, the first of the year at East Turner hall at the cost of $300; the first of its kind.

OLD JOHN RUCKER.
Although he says he is only 28 years of age history says 55, but if John Rucker just will be a child anyway that's his own dear business.

Cole will become very violent, the doctor said, and will never be able to appear upon the stage again.

THE DENVER Y. M. C. B. PLAYS THE KANSAS CITY Y. M. C. A.
Thursday was the greatest day that Denver has enjoyed in years. The weather, the spirit of the people, the manner of entertainment all contributed to success. Foremost came the football game at Denver University Park. Fully a thousand people attended. The young football enthusiasts with their college yells, the staid members of the community, the ministers and professional men, the lovers of sport, the old ladies who had never seen anything more strenuous than a sewing bee, some visitors to the city and in fact everybody was there.
Young Denver in its zeal for the sport and old Denver in its support of the Y. M. C. B. came into happy conjunction and an unqualified success resulted. Fifteen autos and carriages were there, the largest being the tallyho of A. M. Lawhorn. G. Walton was there with an auto party of his own, and a whole lot of others came in taxicabs. Of course the Bill Evans taxicab was most patronized.
A description of the game without paying tribute to the young men who managed the enterprise in conjunction with the officers of the Y. M. C. B. would be an injustice. In order to keep a failure from being a drain on the Brotherhood treasury, several young men subscribed various sums ranging as high as $75 to guarantee expenses. Wm. Parks and Dr. DeFrantz managed the game. Everybody boosted for it. Everybody was happy. Not so much because Denver won, as because it was a good game, hard fought, fairly played, a fitting beginning of cordial relations between Denver and Kansas City, and a magnificent introduction of our Brotherhood to the world.
The game itself was replete with brilliancy. The new style of foot ball was exemplified by some forward passing and a multitude of penalties dealt out to both sides, by Referee Nolle or Cheyenne, formerly of Nebraska University. His services as well as those of Rebert DeFrantz of K. C., the umpire, were well received and their decisions went unquestioned.
The class of play most indulged in was easily intelligible under the old rules—straight line bucks and end runs. In forward passing Denver excelled, while in kicking Ford of Kansas City set a high standard by his long punts and his accurate placing of a kick between the posts, the only score of Kansas City coming that way in the first period. In that stage of the game, the visitors were having things their own way. In the second
period Denver held them even with no score. In the third Denver dug deep and carried the ball near their opponents line by plunges through the line, end runs and forward passes. However near the Kansas City 30-yard line with the ball in the visitors possession they tried a forward pass which was intercepted by Perkins and carried over for the only Denver score. Cries of "Arapahoe Red" greeted him for his brilliant play. Together with Scotty Williams he received the majority of the applause. Not that they were the only deserving ones by any means but because their good playing was shown in critical times. The Denver line held well after the first quarter. Coach Van Ness Johnson himself took a place in it a shift of other players to it made it tight. Johnson's playing was a pleasure. Wherever a runner needed downing, wherever a hole needed to be made, and frequently when the ball needed advancing Johnson did it. It was expected of him and he came up to expectations. Applause in his case would have been superfluous.
Ford was the star performer for Kansas City. Blackstone and Brooks also deserve mention for conspicuous gallantry on the football field. No serious injuries were received by the players and both sides speak well of their treatment. Score 5 to 3. The Kansas City team came to the city Wednesday and left last night for home, thoroughly entertained and well pleased with their trip.
ORMA CROSBY'S KINKIE8
With Orma Crosby's Kinkies is Ada Smith, one of the cutest and most clever little soubrettes in the business. She is only 16 years of age and has been identified with some of the best companies, such as the Chicago Pekin Stock Co. and Billie Johnson's Dusky Valentines, and she was also seen at the Orpheum theater of this city some three or four years ago with the three dancing, well-known Mitchells, and it is predicted that she wil be a world-beater in the near future.

JUDGE UPHOLDS SUPREME LAW
United States Circuit Court Stands by Constitution.
THE TWO STATES IN QUESTION
Scheme to Disfranchise the Colored Citizens of Annapolis, Md., Given Black Eye by Justice Thomas J. Morris, Who Bases His Decision on the Fifteenth Amendment.
The United States circuit courts for Maryland and Oklahoma have each recently passed upon disfranchisement laws aimed at the Negro. The court in Maryland dealt a stunning blow to the scheme to disfranchise the colored voters of the state, particularly so in Annapolis, where registration was refused colored men under the "grandfather" clause in the election laws for Annapolis.
The court also rendered an elaborate opinion in which the Negro's right to vote under the fifteenth amendment was upheld. The Oklahoma case was the result of the recently adopted constitutional amendment which disfranchises 14,000 voters in that state.
The case in Maryland was brought by three colored men, William H. Howard, J. B. Anderson and George Brown, claiming damages for being denied registration. The defendant's counsel brought a demurrer to the suit, which was overruled by Judge Thomas J. Morris in a decision which squarely faces the question of race disfranchisement.
"It is supposable that a property qualification might, in fact, result in some localities in all Negroes being excluded, and the same might be the result in some localities from an educational test, and it could not be said, although that was the result intended, that it was a discrimination on account of race or color, but would be referable to a different test. By looking at the constitution and laws of Maryland prior to Jan. 1, 1869, how can it be said with any show of reason that any but the white man could vote then, and how can the court colse its eyes to the obvious fact that it is for that reason solely that the test is inserted in the Maryland acts?
"The fifteenth amendment provides expressly that all citizens of the United States otherwise qualified should be entitled and allowed to vote at all elections in any state, territory, county, city, without distinction of race or color, any constitution, law, custom, usage or regulations of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."
The Oklahoma case was an application for a writ of injunction of Daniel Simons of Guthrie restraining an election official from denying him the right to vote. In deciding against Mr. Simons the court said:
"It is ordered that the application for an interlecutory injunction be and the same is hereby denied, not on the ground that section 4 of article 3 of the constitution of Oklahoma at the election in August, 1910, is not in violation of the constitution of the United States, but on the sole ground that,

although the complainant may have a remedy at law in this court for the deprivation of his vote, this court has no jurisdiction in equity to grant him the relief he seeks from the threatened deprivation of that right under the decision of the United States supreme court in Giles versus Harris, 189 U. S., 475." The decision by the Maryland judge will be taken to the highest court in the land, and, as Judge Morris has been seldom reversed, the whole question of Negro disfranchisement may assume a phase at variance with the wishes of the bourbon south.
The Oklahoma decision is along the line of the usual evasive way the United States courts have had in deciding similar actions.

Although women have had the full right of franchise in Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming for several years, they have not asserted the privilege beyond the filling of a few appointive offices. But with the renewed effort on the part of the general woman suffrage movement in the United States they are now aspirants to elective office. Four women of marked executive ability were recently elected to the legislature in Colorado.

IN MEMORIAM
Sacred to the Memory of Brother Henry Rountree.
This will be the Grandest FRATERNAL CONGRESS ever given in this city. Special invitations are extended to members of all Societies
Who departed this life October 21st, 1910 at 10 a. m., and on Sunday Oct. 23d, the brethren of the fraterntly assembled at 2 o'clock p. m., to pay the last sad rites to our honored dead, and amid solemn Masonic ceremonies his lifeless body was entered into the silent tomb at Riverside cemetery, there to rest neath the stillly shade until the Supreme Architect of the Universe shall have said: "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the Kingdom of Great Joy and reap the reward of a well spent life for God and for Glory and the betterment of your fellow-man."
Brother Henry Rountree was a veteran member of Rocky Mountain Lodge No.1 A.F. & A.M. He having affiliated in the year of our Lord, 1881, and died October 21st, 1910, after serving 29 years of loyal membership. Words are inadequate to express the pang of sorrow and sadness of our hearts over his passing from our midst. But God knowest best. If we should wish to be kindly remembered when we are gone, let us think of those who have left us, and speak a kind word in memory of them. The gates of life swing either way on noiseless hinges, night and day. Some one enters through the open door, some one leaves us to return no more. And which is happier, which more blest, God knoweth best. We greet with smiles the one who comes like sunshine to our hearts and homes. And reach our longing hands with tears to him who in his ripened years goes gladly to his heavenly rest. God knows the best.
He guards the gates, we need not fear nor dread the path his loyal feet must tread. Nor fear for him who from our sight passed through them to the realms of light: Both in His loving care we rest. God knoweth best.
Everybody knows what this announcement means. Get Ready. Your Pleasure Is Our Pleasure
To the bereaved widow and relatives, and Brother Masons who mourn the passing of Brother Henry Roun

Movement Started For the Purpose of Erecting Dunbar Hospital.
The movement recently started in St. Louis, Mo., having for its object the erection of a hospital which will insure better accommodations for our people, is meeting with success. The circuit court has been petitioned for papers incorporating the Dunbar hospital, which is to be the name of the proposed institution.
It is the desire of the projectors of the movement to raise sufficient funds within the next three months to pay for the site and commence the erection of the building. Such an institution will fill a long felt need among our people in St. Louis, and it should not be a difficult matter to secure the necessary money with which to purchase the ground and erect the buildings. The present officers of the movement are:
Louis C. Edmondson, president; Bertha B. Cooper, secretary, and Flem McGullah, treasurer; J. S. Dorsey, Henry Stemmons, A. R. Freeman, W. C. Calland, J. A. Thompson, Louis E. Edmondson, Mary Foster, Anna Stevens, Emma Freeman, Nancy J. Layton, Emma C. Johnson, Maude Thompson, Kate Cozzens and Bertha B. Cooper.

CENTURY OF PROGRESS TOLD AT ABYSSINIA.
The celebration of the one hundred and second anniversary of the Abyssinian Baptist church, on West Fortieth street, New York, Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D. pastor, began on Sunday, Nov. 13, and came to a successful close on Tuesday evening, the 22d, with a great reunion of members and friends of the church.
The opening sermon was preached by the pastor. It was a gem of thought and historical data leading up through the years in brief of the church's long and eventful career. The services each evening of the nine days were attended by throngs of persons. Many, however, could not get inside of the church, so great was the crowds.
Among the pastors and choirs invited and who took part in the exercises were: On Monday evening, Nov. 14, Rev. Matthew W. Gilbert, D. D., and choir Mount Olivet Baptist church; Tuesday evening, Rev. George H. Sims of the Union Baptist church; Wednesday evening, Rev. Beverly C. Ransom, Bethel A. M. E. church; Thursday evening, Rev. Dr. William M. Moss of Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn; Friday, Rev. W. H. Brooks of St. Mark's M. E. church. The sermon on Sunday morning, Nov. 20, was delivered by the Rev. Dr. R. D. Wynn of Newark, N. J., who formerly served the church as pastor for sixteen years or more. In the afternoon of the same day at 3 o'clock there was an immense audience present, the occasion being an interdenominational platform meeting, at which many helpful addresses were given by persons well known in religious circles.

Need of More Effective Church Work In Both Races.
The act of administering first unto the needs and wants of those nearest us and then looking abroad for places to do good seems to have long since disappeared from the program of the Christian church in the United States, says the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune. It's an honorable, worthy and altogether necessary thing to take the gospel into lands afar and spread the word of God to the isles of the sea.
And we should not in the least discourage the diffusion of Christianity for anything, but it does seem essential that we first get our own homes in order, for America is far from being a perfect land and can stand a great deal more missionary work among her own people than is now being done.
There are places here in this beautiful land of ours that are as devoid of uplifting influences as the darkest spot of the dark continent. There are those among us who are as thoroughly lacking in the practice of principles of Christianity as will be found in the barbaric islands of the Pacific ocean.
And we do not have to go a thousand miles from Savannah to find such places, either, or strain our eyesight in the perusal of our daily newspapers for convincing evidence of there being a direful need of more effective church work among both blacks and whites.
Business Men to Meet In Richmond. Much significance attaches to the meeting of business men, educators, beads of secret and benevolent societies of the race which convened in Richmond, Va., on Thursday, Nov. 10. The move is in all respects a wise one in view of the present shaky condition of many of the best financial institutions and business concerns of long standing among us. We await the results of the meeting with much interest.

comes the news that Mr. O.. H. Me-
Daniel presents the “Honolulu Coon

dancers and shouters. Pictures illum-
inate the bill of Sam McDaniels and

troup originated in Denver will be of
more than passing interest to the
many who saw their beginning of
stage work here.
‘The Thanksgiving merriment began
early and stopped late. In the after-
noon Messrs, George Dean and Jack
Clay were hosts at a dancing party at
Dania Hall and in the evening at the
same place Leon Pryor was doing the
honors. At East Turner hall Wm
Knight was in charge. All these pro-
visions for the dancers left nothing
to be desired by them and the blithe
some violin was at its best. It is n
amiss to say of these all that they
were enjoyable to the highest degree.
The attendance was more than good
even with the tremendous place which
foot ball took in the hearts of ey
ure seekers tnat day. ~
A feature of these events, indeéd a
feature of the whole day’s enjoyments
was the utter absence of disorder.
That has been true for a long time of
Denver's public entertainments, but
on holidays when spirits are high its
absence is more notable. The tough-
hess, the roughness that prevailed fre-
quently years ago is not seen nowa-
days. The presence of police officers
is becoming more and more a matter
of form. Undoubtedly the determina-
tion of givers of entertainments to do
away with that class of order has con-
‘tributed to the good behavior. Also
undoubtedly the people have found
that pleasure is best found in right
actions,

ECHOES FROM COLUMBIA FAIR
ECHOES FROM COLUMBIA FAIR
Marked Progress Noted Along Many Lines of Industry.
GOVERNOR ANSEL A VISITOR.
Thousands In Attendance at Annual Industrial Exhibition Proneounced It to Be the Greatest State Fair Ever Held by the Colored Citizens of South Carolina.
The greatest fair in the history of the Afro-American people in South Carolina was held Nov. 7-12. The exhibits revealing the progress of the race along industrial, educational and commercial lines were the pertinent features of the fair.
A significant fact was the unusual interest manifested by the people liv
P.
ing in the agricultural districts to make creditable exhibits showing the Afro-American ability as an agriculturist and the women's excellent progress in the realm of domestic science. The educational exhibits from Benedict college, Allen university and other institutions were the cynosure of the eyes of thousands visiting the fair.
In the booth of this great company were the exhibits of the Durham textile mill of Durham. This new departure by Negroes into an unexplored field of manufacturing is the outcome of the efforts of the officials of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association.
Rev. Richard Carroll, president of the Negro State Fair association, is the principal character that caused the fair to be a financial success and the inspiration to the members of the race in South Carolina. He has had a corps of intelligent young men and women throughout the state interesting all classes of people in the race to make creditable exhibits at the fair. Rev. Mr. Carroll is a unique character in the affairs of Afro-Americans of the Palmetto State. He contends

HUSTLING AGENTS WANTED
Governor Ansel of South Carolina addressed over 5,000 Afro-Americans at the fair on Friday. On Thursday over 20,000 people visited the fair. The man who assisted Rev. Mr. Carroll in making the fair an unprecedented one is Dr. J. H. Goodwin of Weston, S. C., one of the leading physcians and public spirited citizens of the state. Dr. Goodwin as superintendent of the fair demonstrated his executive ability for the furtherance of a work that is reflecting much credit upon the Afro-Americans in South Carolina.
The Texas Freeman says: "The national administration's tendency toward lily whiteism as well as its attitude on the tariff is largely responsible for the political upheaval of the present. Then, too, the colored citizens in the north and east, where their votes count and stand for something, remembered Roosevelt and Brownsville and the perfidy meted out to the race on that occasion."

Effect of Rooseveltian Bossism. It can be plainly seen from the great Democratic tidal wave which swept over New York city and state on election day that Rooseveltian bossism put the Republican party out of business in fine shape.

CONCORD LITERARY CIRCLE.
Observes Educators' Night - Miss Howard Principal Speaker. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The most interesting meeting of the Concord Literary circle in Brooklyn since the fall sessions began was held on Thursday evening, Nov. 10. It was educators and students' night and was attended by a refined and cultured gathering of Brooklyn's most progressive citizens. The speaker of the evening was Miss Amelia A. Howard, who is one of the teachers in public school No. 149.
Miss Howard after her graduation from the girls' high school took a two years' course in the training school for teachers. After completing the prescribed course she passed a successful examination and was subsequently appointed to teach and assigned to duty as above stated.
Miss Howard's subject was "The Importance of Home Education to Children." Miss Howard analyzed and defined her subject in a most beautiful and logical manner before proceeding to discuss it in detail. Like a true student of nature, she drew most of her illustrations from everyday observation. Her similes, metaphors and apostrophes were carefully selected and interwoven into the subject matter in a manner that gave charm and dignity to the speaker's utterances. Miss Howard believes that the foundation of all true education is laid in the home from early childhood up to and through the adolescent period and that such home training is the best supplement that school training can possibly have.
Others who took part in the program were Miss Rebecca F. Martin, a former student of Hampton institute; Miss Clara A. Henry, who is pursuing a teacher training course in New York; Miss Maud Green of Plainfield, N. J., who is a student in Pratt institute, Brooklyn; Miss Edna Levy, Miss Mabel Grace Dobney and Lillian C. Dodson.
President Walter K. Taylor and his associate officers were highly gratified over the results of the meeting and were also encouraged by the large and appreciative audience which greeted and listened to the program with such marked attention. On Thursday, Dec. 8, there will be a debate.
ST. MONICA'S MISSION.
Another Roman Catholic Church In the West For Afro-Americans. Within the past decade the Roman Catholic church in the United States has gained a large following among Afro-Americans. New impetus was given in this direction in the early spring of this year by Earner John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic board for mission work among Afro-Americans throughout the country.
It is Father Burke's aim to raise $100,000 annually until a sufficient number of suitable edifices shall have been erected for worship and for the maintenance of schools for the education of those who are to study for the priesthood and subsequently become leaders in the work among Afro-Americans.
There has been a Roman Catholic church for our people in St. Louis, Mo., for the past twenty-five years. Another was opened in a cottage in Kansas City, Mo., the latter part of October. It is stated that a new edifice will soon be erected in its stead at a cost of $30,000.
CHICAGO FAVORS SAN FRANCISCO
STRONG RESOLUTION ADOPTED
Action of National Business League of America In Support of the California City as the Most Desirable Place to Celebrate the Completion of the Panama Canal Bound to Exert a Wide Influence.
The business men of Chicago are for San Francisco as the most desirable site for the exposition to celebrate the completion of the Panama canal in 1915. The National Business League of America, on Oct. 7, adopted a resolution endorsing San Francisco and this action by such an influential body of representative business men is bound to exert wide influence throughout the middle west and the east.
This endorsement, following closely on the failure of New Orleans to secure a Chicago endorsement is particularly pleasing to San Francisco. The resolution follows:
"Whereas, The Panama canal will, when completed, unite the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and create new opportunities for the advancement of American commerce; and.
"Whereas, The citizens of San Francisco, in the state of California, United States of America, have publicly declared their intention of holding an international exposition in the year 1915, under the title 'The Panama-Pacific International Exposition,' to fittingly celebrate the completion of the Panama canal; and.
"Whereas, The Pacific coast has an equable and healthful climate, and San Francisco has every modern facility for the comfort and entertainment of a large concourse of people, with ample opportunities for side trips to other coast cities; and.
"Whereas, By any route, a pilgrimage to the Pacific coast would be through scenes of beauty and grandeur unrivaled in any other part of the world, the trip to the exposition should be made, at least one way, by a route through the Panama canal, in order that visitors and the world at large may become familiar with that wonderful achievement; therefore, be it.
"Resolved By the Board of Directors of the National Business League of America, that San Francisco be, and hereby is, strongly recommended as the proper site for the proposed exposition; and the board further recommends that a line of commodious passenger steamers be established to ply to and fro, through the canal, between the Atlantic coast cities and cities of the Pacific coast, primarily for the purpose of enabling visitors to the exposition to inspect said canal."

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. POPB.

C. A. FRANKLIN, Editor.
Entered at the postoffice at Denver, Colorado, as second class mailmatter.
The result of the election so far as it indicates the political preferences of the colored people of Denver and this state is not satisfactory. By that we do not mean the defeat of any political party is laid at our door, or the failure to defeat a party or a candidate is our fault. What we mean is that on some men and some measures the whole race was practically agreed, yet the election returns do not show that our preferences counted.
It does not follow, of course, that we did not vote as we felt. It is easily possible that white voters offset our position so that what we have done does not show on the face of the returns. But that is just the more reason why we say the election results are unsatisfactory. Mr. Pearce, the secretary of state, is generally admitted to have been undeserving of any colored supporters. He ran better than many on his ticket. Either colored supporters of democracy failed to scratch him, or there were few colored democrats; or what is far more dangerous, his attitude toward us which cost him our ill-will, won him a larger measure of support from white voters.
Then there were candidates whose past records showed them entirely worthy of our united support. They did not show any marked strength over their running mates. Maybe it happened that their friendliness to us cost them their white supporters.
That is the meat in the question. Is it possible for us to make our support helpful to our friends? Does our friendship cost them more than we are able to bring to them? The campaign is over and without fear of being charged with political wire-pulling, Denver people can discuss this question. The Statesman suggests that it be taken up and some plan be devised whereby our political activities can be made so effective that he who runs may read. In another column we publish a letter from Dr. Jones who is fresh from a part in the campaign, and presents his views on it. Let this be the beginning of a general sifting of the matter to the end that the wisest counsel may prevail.
The question is not partisan. It is racial. The claims of the paid political worker and the job seeker are huge enough to satisfy the most exacting on any side of the political fence, but 4,000 colored voters in Denver should hit hard enough to make a dent that can be seen and not rest upon mere boasts.
To Evangelize the Heathen World. A movement has been started in Boston for the evangelization of the heathen world, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. More than $1,000,000 has already been contributed for the cause. The promoters should begin operations in America or in the United States, rather, where the heathen rage at times and where mob law has more license than anywhere else on the globe.
