Twenty-Second Year POLITICAL CHAT IN WASHINGTON Two Capable Men In Responsible Federal Positions. HEIGHT OF SOCIAL SEASON. President Taft's Selection of Charles T. Cottrill Said to Be a Winning Stroke, Although Hawaiians May Offer Opposition to His Confirmation. Tanner's Paintings on Exhibition. Washington.—Expressions of good will are heard on all sides at the nation's capital over the recent appointment of Charles T. Cottrill as collector of customs at Honolulu. President Taft, in the opinion of the knowing ones in Washington, has made a master stroke in appointing Mr. Cottrill. It is expected that the senate will confirm the nomination soon. While it is rumored that a delegation of Hawaiians will come here to oppose the confirmation, it is hardly probably that the opposition will amount to anything. A few days ago Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, had an extended conference with President Taft at the White House. Mr. Johnson, who when he was appointed was the leading colored lawyer of the Georgia bar, has been making a splendid record as an officeholder since he assumed the reins of the recordership. Mr. Johnson has the distinction of being the only member of the so called "black cabinet" who was a delegate to the last Republican national convention. He was, as is well known, one of the "Big Four" from Georgia. Not only was Mr. Johnson a delegate, but he made one of the telling speeches in that convention. He also took a prominent part as a member of the committee on resolutions in drafting the platform of his party. The familiar figure of this typical southerner, Henry Lincoln Johnson, is now often seen wending his way in and out of the big government departments, where he confers with men of national prominence and where often he goes to intercede in behalf of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 7, 1911 some colored "brother." Mr. Johnson's interview at the White House with President Taft is an indication that the president desires to confer and advise with the leading colored men. Social Functions In Abundance. Mrs. E. C. Williams, wife of the principal of M Street high school, entertained recently at a formal at home in honor of her sister, Miss Dorothy Chestnutt of Cleveland, O. Mrs. Williams and Miss Chestnutt are the daughters of the famous colored author, Charles W. Chestnutt. This at home marked the beginning of a series of Christmas festivities and was attended by many of the social leaders of Washington. The regular round of Christmas affairs was augmented by two weddings of note in Washington society. Miss Jennie Robinson, one of the most popular members of Washington's smart set, was married to Lawyer W. C. Hueston of Kansas City, Mo. The social standing of the contracting parties made the affair one of note. Another wedding was that of Miss Nellie Meriwether to the director of athletics in the high schools, Mr. Edwin B. Henderson. A coterie of out of town guests came to witness the Meriwether-Henderson auctions. On exhibition at the Corcoran Art gallery are some of the paintings of Henry O. Tanner, the famous Negro artist. This is the first exhibition of Mr. Tanner's paintings in Washington, and they have elicited most favorable comment of the art criticism. CHRISTMAS PARTY. One of the features during the Xmas week was a party given by Mrs. Downey and Barnes in honor of Miss Adah Downey and Cassie Fleming of Colorado Springs. The house was decorated with Xmas decorations and flowers. The evening was spent in playing games. After serving delicious refreshments the guests departed at a wee hour. Those present were: Misses Hazel Robinson, Dora Nelson, Edith Buchana, Clara Buchana, Lucille Jones, Bana Wall, Battina Jackson, Jenobia Fisher, Mary Gilmore, Vivian Rivers, Margaret Graves, Leona Yocum, Zena Eubanks, Leniseda Knott, Zoetta Hodge, Edna Freeman, Adah Downey, Cassie Fleming, and Messrs. Clarance Starks, Cornelius Rice, Walter Ewing, Clements, Stamps, George H. Barnett, G. Nelson, C. Holmes, W. Linzy, Bray, R. Smith, J. Brown, R. Nelson, E. Robinson, Wayman Ward, V. Ward and J. J. Garfield. After spending a delightful week State Historian & Natural History Society TATES SATURDAY, JAN. 7. 1911 Miss Fleming left for home Sunday evening. CITY NEWS. The Pendennis club entertained about forty of its friends at a party Monday at the residence of Miss Ada Gibson on Glenarm. Various games and dancing were the principal enjoyments of the evening. Mr. Barnett favored the guests with several solos which were well received. The club retained its reputation for entertaining its guests and as the season grows they hope to make life worth living for many more. It was the fourth of a series of parties to be given during the winter. The oyster soup and coffee prepared by Miss Gibson was the very best. Several of the members have about six bowls to their credit. FOR RENT—Nicely furnished rooms in a modern house at 2447 Tremont place. FOR RENT—A nice three-room brick house at 1813 Clarkson street. The ladies of the Sunshine Club made happy the heart of Father Turner Thursday of last week by a visit to him in his home on Jason street and by giving him substantial aid in his sickness. Money and food were given him and the touching thanks of the aged minister was reward enough for the givers. Bert B. Ellis, who is employed as machinist in one of the garages of the city, will spend a few days in Colorado Springs visiting with his sister, Mrs. E. L. French. Mrs. Bessie Pullam Higgins is in the city visiting her parents. She is here from Los Angeles, where she now makes her home, and is spending the month. Clarence Cameron White is sojourning the week in Denver before leaving to fill his southern dates. He is en route from Cheyenne to Oklahoma. Leon Bruce is now playing the piano with Jackson's orchestra. Jerry Steele, while employed on the D. & F. building, was struck on the chin by falling lime and injured. William Williams, of 1826 Downing avenue, a member of the Building Laborers' union, passed away with consumption Sunday. The funeral occurred Wednesday. Rev. Edwards preached the funeral. Mr. Williams had been an officer in Central church. In him the community has lost a good citizen and the wife a loving husband. ```markdown ``` ASSISTANT TO PASTOR. The appointment of A. C. Jackson to the position of assistant to the pastor at Zion church marks the most distinct step toward a larger church which has occurred in Zion's growth for some time. Mr. Jackson is favorably known to the church through his office of church clerk and his work in the mission. A UNIQUE POSITION. J. B. Gist is in charge of the Civic building in Montclair. This position, which really in under the city administration, is unique in that Mr. Gist has responsibility in his building similar to the highest salaried men in the city employ. He is engaged in catering work in this suburb also. By dint of struggle Mr. and Mrs. Gist have purchased and paid for a nice home on Downing street. NEW ODD FELLOW ORGANIZATIONS Dr. Spratlin, Grand Master of Odd Fellows, has called a meeting at his office in the Good block next Thursday, January 12, for the club and those desiring to join the club for the new Odd fellows lodge. He calls a meeting on the following night at the same place for the ladies desiring to join the new Household of Ruth. HARRIS' INVENTION IS SUCCESSFUL. The Harris automatic coupling was demonstrated with success last week on the U. P. railroad at Omaha and Inventor A. H. Harris is informed by the company he formed there to push the invention, that an answer is pending as to the adoption of the coupling on that road. A NEGRO COLONY HAS LARGE PLANS. The Deerfield Development Company as the settlers on government land are known, has ambitious plans for the coming season. They have 3,800 acres represented in the company, owned by twenty locators. With the cultivation of fifty acres each, they hope to raise crops enough to have a market value of $10,000. As was stated in these column some time ago J. N. B. Anderson is on the ground doing the fencing and other preliminary work for all the colony. Others already on the land are J. M. Williams, J. M. Thomas, J. S. Smith and a family from Oklahoma. The company also expresses the hope that it will be able to locate a sanitarium and an industrial school there. Masters, Colo., is the postoffice address of the colony. GREAT CENTER OF EDUCATION National Religious Training School In Durham, N. C. WORK OF PROFESSOR O'KELLY The Progress of the Institution Under the Presidency of Dr. James E. Shepard Has Attracted Wide Attention Among Educators—Qualifications of Professor C. G. O'Kelly. The remarkable growth of the National Religious Training school in Durham, N. C., is causing it to be the cynosure of the eyes of the educational world at the present time. The various departments under the direction of trained experts are in excellent condition, and every indication points to the materialization of the plans of Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the school. When Dr. Shepard succeeded in getting Professor C. G. O'Kelly to accept the vice presidency of the institution he was fortunate. At an early age Professor O'Kelly displayed unusual interest in books. He entered the Johnson school, in Raleigh, when the opportunity first came to colored people to study schoolbooks unmolested. His mother made many sacrifices in order to keep him in school, as he was only eleven years of age. One day when Dr. Price, a talented orator and stanch advocate of giving M. PROFESSOR C. G. O'KELLY. the Negro the same kind of education that white men received, visited the school where O'Kelly was a faithful student he was inspired by the speaker's liberal views, and this inspiration has played a potent part in the achievements of Professor O'Kelly, who is recognized as one of the leading educators of the race. In addressing the students on that occasion Dr. Price especially emphasized the need of fearless, courageous, intelligent and honest leadership for the race and also stated that this mental and moral training for such leadership could be received at Lincoln university, in Pennsylvania. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. These utterances impressed young O'Kelly, and he decided to go to this institution, which has given the race such a large number of influential and able leaders. Through the aid of his white teachers from the north he succeeded in entering Lincoln university and for seven years was a pertinent element in the student body. He graduated from the college and seminary departments of Lincoln with credit. He is modest and unassuming, having merited by excellent scholarship his A. M. and D. D. titles. A resume of his activities for the educating of his people will reveal the ennobling character of the man. Dr. S. G. Atkins having started a great educational movement at Winston-Salem, N. C., in 1895, Profesor O'Kelly was called to fill the position of instructor of languages. He was elected president of Kittrell college when Professor John R. Hawkins resigned the presidency to accept the position as commissioner of education for the African Methodist Episcopal church. Within two years he had placed the school upon a higher standard. Resigning this work, he returned to the Slater school to fill the position of chaplain and director of music, where he remained until 1904. When Professor Atkins, the president, was chosen secretary of education for the A. M. E. Zion church, then Professor O'Kelly was made president of the Slater school, which is now one of the leading state schools. It was at this post of duty that Dr. James E. Shepard found him busily engaged when he secured his consent to go to the National Religious Training school in Durham to fill the position of vice president. According to a recent statement made by the Rev. Dr. John W. Lee pastor of the First African Presbyterian church, Philadelphia, Afro Americans are engaged in the following business and professional occupations. There are fourteen lawyers, twelve dentists, one druggist in business for himself, nine employed by white druggists, thirty-two physicians, six artists, two occulists, two electrical engineers, fifty-two public school teachers, four private school teachers, twenty-two graduate nurses and twenty-four music teachers. Believes In the Flag of Humanity. In concluding his address before the Methodist missionary convention recently held in Springfield, Ill., the Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas of Baltimore said: "The black man has never shown a spirit of insurrection. He has proved loyal. However, we believe in another flag besides the stars and stripes—the flag of humanity. There is one flag which we will ever stand by and will never cease fighting for—the flag of humanity or brotherhood with its colors of red, white, black, yellow or brown." An International Race Conference. Dr. Booker T. Washington has issued invitations for an international conference, to be held at Tuskegee, Ala., of all persons in America and Europe interested in the education and improvement of the Negro race. It is planned to hold this conference in January, 1912, and to bring together not only students of colonial and racial questions, but missionaries, teachers and government officials who are actually engaged in the work of aiding the Negro HEADQUARTERS FOR BUILDING LABORERS PINN & WALTON 1221 19th STREET.

A, Much is to be had when the ladies come down to the association rooms Thursday afternon. There will be special entertaining, and jit is hoped tnat all the ladies will be in attend- ance, BRUCE & WILLIAMS. Kid Bruce and Scotty Williams are going to do a battle in the near future at one of the clubs in Cheyenne, Wyo. They are both in hard training and will probably make a good fast bout. Scoty Williams was one of the star football players with the Y. M. C. B. team that played here in Denver Thanksgiving. SAM LANGFORD AND JOE JENNE- TETTE TO FIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT. One of the largest crowds that ever entered a clu) is expected at the Bos- ton Armory club Tuesday night when Sam Langford and Joe Jennette will do another big battle. .unere is very little betting, as Langford is a two to one favorite. But I am thinking pret- ty strong that Sam is a beat man when he meets Jennetette, as Joe is going to either win or die trying, and if you want to make money bet on Joe Jennetette. NETTIE GLENN AND FIVE TAR BABIES. Miss Nettie Glenn and her clever company are doing all of the big time they can fill. Sne is an up-to-date en- tertainer, cannot be excelled and her Support makes the managers of dif- ferent laeatres say that she is in a class by herself. JOCKEY JOE SMITH The clever Negro jockey, who has been riding on the big southern cir- cuit, will leave for Australia the first of Feoruary to ride at $5,000 per year. THE THREE GILMORES AT PANTAGES. The Gilmores closed a very success- ful week at the Pantages th night. Their act was one that was full of life and ginger. Their singing was a hit and the people of Denver will always remember them as clever entertainers. BUCK DANCING CONTEST. There will be a buck and wing con- test at the R. M. A.C. the 14th of Jon. Al] entries must be made at once. See Little Mack Smart. CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE, The noted colored violinist of the world, was out to the Smart Set vaudeville show last Monday evening and was much pleased with the peo- ple in attendance and the program. He says it could have been a whole lot worse than it was, and advises some to study, as there is the making of good performers in many of them. Mr. White is one of the finest men there is. He is clever, intelligent, and so jolly, a gentleman that makes friends and not enemies. THE GRIFFIN SISTERS.

They are good singers, good dancers and good lookers, so they have no holdback. MAYME SEELEY. Probably the youngest colored wo- man performer heading a company of her own in vaudeville is that of Mayme Selley, who is making a big hit with her own company, The Kol- ored Kandy Kids. SAM McVEY, THE CHAMPION OF EUROPE. A few days ago Sam MeVey, the clever colored heavyweight boxer, formerly of this country, knocked out Big Jim Johnson in the eighth round, who was considered the champion of Europe. And now Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian promoter, wants to sign McVey and Jack Johnson to do a battle as soon as they can get every- thing all fixed. ROSAMOND JOHNSON AS PLAY WRITER. It has been rumored that Mr. R Johnson, late partner of Bob Cole, will venture into the fiela this season as a vaudeville play writer for the negro performer. ‘OLD JOE GANS STATUE FOR BAL- TIMORE. Mr. Joe Gans and Attorney Cum- mings were in Washington last week to inspect the bust of Joe Gans, the famous ringmaster, now nearing com- pletion at the studio of Isaac Hatha- way, the sculptor. The unveiling will take place in Baltimore shortly, with some of the prominent men of that city as attendants. JACK MORRIS. Jack Morris, the clever middle- weight boxer, who has been in Den- ver for some time, says that he is now in condition to meet any man in the world at 158 pounds ringside. barring Sam Langford. THE SMART SET SHOW A GRAND SUCCESS, To the amateur performers that ap- peared in the show last Monday night much credit is due. There are so few good negro acts that come as far as this city that in a way we are working in the dark. The first num- ber, Mr. Carter Harris, comedian, was somewhat of a hit in his bits of com- edy, but should improve in voice. The musical team of Gauss and Anderson was good. Mr. Gauss played some very difficult music from noted com- posers, such as H. J. Kate, and will in the course of time be one of the leading violinists of the race, as he is a hard student. Elkins and Tumlin were a hit in their clever dancing, receiving plenty of applause and mon- ey from the audience. Hattie Me- Daniels is always a hit and deserves all the credit bestowed upon her. She is as clever a young colored singing and’ dancing comedienne as there is in the country. The quartette which has been making good for some time, was there with the goods. Thomas Berry, basso, was pleasing. Julius Ragsville, tenor, knocked a hole in the ceiling. Officer as a leader is good. Leon Pryor as @ baritone needs a new voice. The company of Pryor, Fitzpatrick & Edwards was fair. Miss Ida Fitzpatrick’s singing of “Sugar GIVEN BY THE Y. M.A. C.

Mr. Robert Harlan, a trained accountant, who is an auditing clerk in the office of the auditor for the war department in Washington, has been selected and is now acting as a member of one of the "economy and efficiency" committees which are engaged in the work of examining the operating methods in use in the several departments with a view of introducing measures of economy. The selection of a clerk to serve on one of these committees is regarded by government officials as a high honor. Mr. Harlan is from the state of Ohio and has been in the government service for a number of years. Another deserving recognition of a colored man is that which has been recently bestowed upon Mr. Theodore Green of the office of the auditor for the postoffice. Mr. Green has been designated by Secretary MacVeagh as disbursing clerk of that office. The responsibility of that office is heightened when it is taken into consideration that the auditor for the post-office is by far the largest auditorship of the government. Mr. Green has also been in the service for a good many years and in point of salary receives the maximum pay of a regular government clerk. 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. TL!

M E. church. The church was filled to the utmost capacity. The tree was a real product of Trinidad and was pre- sented to the church by Mr. Charley Blackwood. [t was tastefully decorat- ed, as well as the great load of pres- ents it bore. Mrs. J. H. Patton deserves great credit for the arranging of an excel lent program. The refreshments were also served for the benefit of the Sun- day school. Dec. 27 was indeed a red letter day in Trinidad for the Masons. The oc- easion was their annual banquet giv- en at the A. M. E. church. This was the great feast of all good things. At 8:30 p. m. W. A. Jordon, master of ceremonies, called the house to order and in a few brief but well chosen words stated the object of the ban- quet, touching upon the aim of build- ing a hall on the property now owned by the lodge. He then introduced as the speaker of the hour Rey. J. H. Brown, who paid a high tribute to the order in general and then to Simp- son Rest No. 10. He gave out many instructive views on Masonry which will not soon be forgotten. There were many persons over from Raton, N. M. All went away saying, behold, how Masons do things! Well, those juicy cooked chickens and those ten- der baked turkeys, everything else to put beside, will call everybody back again. Rey. Brown has been called to go to Raton to be present at the K. of P.’s banquet in January. Herman Grant and Carrie Tolover appeared at the parsonage of Rev. Brown on Dec. 24 and asked to be made one, which was done in due form by Rev. Brown. Rey. Brown thinks Trinidad is where people love.

Central State Fair Organization.

Debt Slavery as It Exists in the South. The peonage system of laws now in existence in the south and by which a convict (usually an Afro-American) can be kept in debt slavery is a relic of the most barbarous ages and a reflection of discredit on the south land, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. There is no degree of difference between pro-bellum slavery and the debt slavery as it is carried on under this peonage system. Madam J. M.

One of the enjoyable evenings of the holiday season was last Friday evening, when the Carnation Art Club gave a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Barnes from eight to eleven. The house was prettily decorated in club colors, red, white, pink and green, and in addition carnations were tastefully used in adorning the table. Light refreshments were served. Miss Grace Williams presided at the piano during the evening. The members of the club and their invited guests had a royal good time and the club was deluged with good wishes for the New Year. HOUSE WARMING. Among the many social functions given during the Christmas holidays, nine were more delightful than the surprise house-warming which was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sprague in their new home, 2434 Gilpin St. About 8:30 o'clock, amid the blowing of horns, gingling of Chinese bells, drum beating and curious noises, the jolly invaders made a mad rush for the interior. Just how well the scheme was carried out was clearly demonstrated on the faces of both Mr. and Mrs. Sprague. Numerous games of "ye olden times" were indulged in, McFadden's pipe having provoked a deal of merriment to the guests. Mrs. Cora Joseph won the booby, while Mrs. Lark carried off the honor. Mrs. Lillie Lewis and Mrs. J. C. Cooper were solely responsible for having successfully led and entertained the crowd of friends, while Mr. Sprague and wife were overwhelmingly pleased at having them celebrate New Years with them. MONEY REWARD IS TALKED OF. The Pullman porters running out of this city are finding much of interest these days in the struggle being made for an advancement of wages and in the unprecedented brutality of the western train robbers, who shot two porters out of sheer wantonness. Speaking of the latter, P. J. Jackson, one of the best known railroad men of this section, said that some action was imperative to protect men in railroad employ from such outrages. It in understood that a movement will be launched to offer a reward for the detection and punishment of the dastards, and that Denver money will back up Denver's desire for their punishment. HEAD JANITOR. U. G. Brown is now holding the position of head janitor at the Metropolitan building. This position brings to mind the growing number of colored men holding similar positions. The new buildings of Denver are all in a fair way to be in the hands of colored men as caretakers. This rebound from a few years ago when whites were supplanting the colored, is very pleasing.

To the ministers and members of the Rocky Mountain District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Greeting: Once more we are reminded of the rapid flight to time as we glance an eye backward upon the scenes of 1910 which came and unloaded her cargo of sunshine and rain, heat and cold, sickness and health also an abundant harvest of grain and fruits, and has gone. Let us hope that as she left the post of time at midnight for the harbor of eternity that she left behind a multitude of thankful souls who have cast their cares on the Son of God, buried their sorrows in the sea of forgetfulness, forgiven their enemies and are ready and willing to receive what the Master will send us. And now as we enter upon the duties of the year 1911 let us remember the words of David the King, who said the "Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." With this thought in mind there is no room for selfishness. To the laity of the church I wish to say, that no one more than the missionary preached on my district were the kind efforts of your loyal and liberal hands noticeable and appreciative last year. It was you who drove the wolf of distrust and hunger from their door. I earnestly pray that God may pour his blessings upon the good missionary woman and friends of the church this year as in the past. We feel a deep sympathy for our brethren and their wives who are on the mission field in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. No one knows better than myself what these brave missionaries undergo. I therefore ask our members and friends to be liberal in their missionary offerings, for by so doing now you will be cheering the weary traveler. Beloved brethren, sisters and friends, too much cannot be said in praise of your noble support which you gave to the church last year. Indeed, my faithful workers, it was your love for Christ, the church and the uplift of mankind that caused our missionary and dollar money report to increase. During the past year sickness and other affliction came to many of our friends and relations, ministerial and lay. Among the ministers Rev. John Turner fell a victim to paralysis, and is now in the city an object of prayer and sympathy. it is true that annual conference sent money to help take care of him. His condition is such that his board and care is costly. We therefore ask the ministers to correspond with Rev. A. M. Ward, whose adress is 220 Twenty-third St., and he will inform you what is required from time to time, which we hope through your auxiliaries you may be able to do. FREE!! A PAIR OF PANTS FREE!!

New Plan Will Encourage Less Fortunate to Save More. CONVENIENCE OF THE SYSTEM Postmaster General Hitchcock Believes That the Opportunity to Deposit Small Sums Will Meet a Hearty Response From the Masses—Depositors Guaranteed Against Loss. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington. Students of financial and economic conditions predict that the postal saving banks which will soon be inaugurated in the postoffices throughout the United States will prove a greater blessing, proportionately speaking, to the colored people than to any other class of people in the United States. This prediction is based upon the fact that the economic status of the masses of the colored people makes them peculiarly the beneficiaries of the opportunities for thrift and economy afforded by these banks. Postmaster General Hitchcock is confident that through these banks the habit of saving will be cultivated more than ever among the colored people just as well as it will be among other classes of people for whom the operation of these banks will mean so much. He is anxious that the colored people take advantage of the financial opportunities which will come with this new opportunity. Under the plan devised by the postmaster general and his assistants, in compliance with the law, savings can be begun in sums as small as 10 cents and formal accounts can be opened in sums as small as $1. This small amount feature will prove popular to the masses of our people, for many of them are not able to make large deposits, but will gladly lay aside the small amounts that they can spare from their living expenses. Any person, from the little boy or girl of ten to the man or woman weighted down with many years, can have an account in one of these postal savings banks, and, what is most important, Uncle Sam absolutely guarantees the depositors against loss. If the person wishing to open a deposit has a dollar or more he simply goes to the postoffice, turns his money over to the postmaster and receives in lieu thereof a certificate of deposit for the amount deposited. The depositor draws interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum. He also has the right to draw out a part or all of his money whenever he pleases. If, however, you have not as much as a dollar to open a formal account you can for 10 cents purchase from the postmaster a postal savings card, which will have a ten cent postal saving stamp in its center. Then from time to time the owner of the card can purchase other ten cent postal savings stamps, which have mucillage on one side like ordinary postage stamps, and stick them on the white card. When the owner of the card has stuck ten of these stamps on his or her card it is then turned into the postmaster, who will give in return a certificate of deposit for $1. Other additions to your account can be made in the same way. As aforesaid, the depositors draw 2 per cent interest on their money, have the right to withdraw the money out of the bank at will and are guaranteed against loss by the United States. After having saved up $20 the depositor, if he or she desires, can exchange his deposit for a United States bond. This can be done by surrendering your deposit, and you will receive in lieu thereof a United States bond. These bonds bear $2 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent interest per annum. Postal savings banks have been in operation for years in some countries, and the experience of those countries is that they have proved a veritable blessing to the poor. Postmaster General Hitchcock, under whose supervision the inauguration and operation of these banks will come, hopes to begin to establish them the first week in January. Gradually they are to be established in nearly every postoffice, big and little, in this country. Thus they will be put within easy reach of all the people. The old bugaboo of bank failures will be completely eliminated, for the government of this country secures the depositors. When President Taft recommended this measure to congress he knew full well that he was recommending a measure that would be most helpful to the poor people. In a few years the wisdom of this measure will be clearly seen and its benefits will be plainly evident among the people. Colored men and women will be owning and drawing interest on government bonds, and our boys and girls will be the possessors of snug bank accounts. THE PROBLEM OF VOTING. Lack of Interest and Intimidation Main Causes, Says Baker. In his discussion of the question of the Negro voter in the United States Ray Stannard Baker says in the Atlantic Monthly: First, we shall find many Negroes, and, indeed, hundreds of thousands of white men as well, who might vote, but who, through ignorance or inability or unwillingness to pay the poll taxes or from mere lack of interest, disfranchise themselves. The second difficulty is peculiar to the Negro. It consists in open or concealed intimidation on the part of the white men who control the election machinery. In many places in the south today no Negro, no matter how well qualified, would dare to present himself for registration. When he does he is rejected for some trivial or illegal reason. Thus we have to meet a vast amount of apathy and ignorance and poverty on the one hand and the threat of intimidation on the other. Operetta In Aid of Day Nursery. Under the auspices of the co-operative circle, a highly pleasing and instructive operetta, entitled "The Gypsy's Revenge," was given at Acme hall, Brooklyn, on Monday evening, Jan. 2, for the benefit of the day nursery.

He stated in the outset that it was the duty of landiords to eneourage their renters, share croppers and wage earners to take advantage of latter day insirue thon In farming, not oniy to the end that the landlords themselves might be benefited. but that the largest possible returns might be made to them Indi vidually Among other things Professor Buch anan said: “I am gl that all classes of farmers are taking a keen er interest in scientific agriculture book farming, as we used to call it We have been a long time learning the absurdity of the statement that ‘any old fool can farm.” “It is being proved more and more to our satisfaction that the an who puts the most brains into the soil reaps the largest harvest. This is true whether the farmer be a renter, share cropper, wage hand or owner. The man who gets the largest crops at the loweat cost is a desirable eitizen in whatever community, and he will be soon the owner of his farm, no matter bow k the cost “It Js encouraging to note that at this short course we have mothers and fathers, roung men and wornen, who are share croppers and wage bande as THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. well as those who are renters and owners. “I know of a man who allowed the rain to spoil a whole winter's supply of feed for him because the landlord refused to repair the roof of his barn. Insist on having the landlord do his fair share, but don’t allow your crop, your stock, your family and your standing as a farmer to suffer because a miserly nonprogressive landlord will not do his duty. “Some of us let the houses we live in rot down and refuse to drive a nail We don't own the place, yet we live there from year to year and subject our wives and children to much suf fering and sickness, This is what drives our boys and girls from the farms and away from our hearth sides. For our own sakes let us make our homes comfortable and inviting wheth er we own them or not “These scientific farmers are going to talk to you about deep plowing and will perhaps say that the results of deep plowing show up better three years after than they do the first year. Some shure croppers and renters are so shortsighted they won't plow deep for fear they will be making the land better for some one else. If all renters practiced such a narrow policy, then rented land would never be improved On the other hand, if all our farmers do their utmost to put the farms on which they work in first class shape. no matter what farm a man moved te he would find it in good condition “It is this class of farmers we must reach through our short courses and schools of agriculture. They consti tute not the Negro problem, but the south’s agricultural problem, and as long as they sit in lethargy and dark ness the development of the south must proceed against the dead burdex ef their ignorance and Inefficiency.” Struggling Schoo! In Alabama Needs Funds For the Winter There are many vorma! schools and academies scattered throughout whe south and west for the education of colored youths of which the general public know little about. The major ity of such schools are doing real foun- dation work fu shaplug the lives and character of a great number of young men and women to become leaders in thought and industry in their respec tive communities A splendid example of the schools referred to is the Snow Hill institute in Wileox county, Ala. Out of a total school population of 12,758, 10,758 are colored, The apportionment: of the school funds for 1910 gave Wilcox county $82,660.48. Of this amount $6,- 582.00 was given to the colored schools, which allows a proportion of 60 cents for each of the 10,758 colored children of school age The 2,000 white children received $25,128.59, or an average of nearly $13 for the education of each child of school age, And yet under this om} nous comparison the colored people are forging ahead in education and agri- cultural pursuits. Snow Hill institute has sent out alone over 500 young men and women as teachers and leaders among our people in the rural districts. The school has no endowment nor ald from the state. The tuition of students and gifts in money or prod- uce from friends have kept the school in existence. It now requires $15,000 er more annually to min the institu- tion. Money for this purpose is much needed to trap the school going for the rest of ioe 1911 term. Principal W. J.

Business conditions will not be of the best, neither is this a time when the Negro citizen can give the widest play to his citizenship. Yet since need is for all men ie measure of their capabilities, we hope to make much of the year 1911. At such a time as this when tae world is so en- grossed with its achievements in commerce and science, it is less con- cerned about its prejudices. We may therefore have opportunity todo some- thing with less of hindrance than hith- erto. As an aid to better work both for ourselves and for our race, we hope to have a larger view of life. By that we mean that we hope to have less of race consciousness. We hope to have a larger belief in our own possibili- ties. We hope to have a larger faith in all mankind. So long as we meas- ure our possibilities by the small cir- cle in which prejudice says we shall travel, we will be marked by small achievements, but when the black peo- pyle shall believe that all the world is God’s vineyard in which they labor and receive reward in proportion as they labor, it will matter not to them that their work is sometimes harder than their neighbor’s. Their spirits will take wings, and their courage rise, until by sheer force of merit they wil! be counted as men. In the hope that we may be useful in this rousing of our race to its great possibilities, we shall place emphasis on the achievements of the race at home and all over the country, and so far as is compatible with proper con- duct of a newspaper, we shall ignore the failures, the bickerings and the criminality which still distinguish many of our people. We shall try to make of The Statesman a paper which will sow the seeds of achievement to be reaped in the lives of the whole community. We wish the public to understand that this faper is theirs to use for the publication of news, and of opin- ion on all public questions. Our only request to writers on public questions is that they do not ask us to publish letters virulentiy personal. In conclusion we wish to thank our patrons who have made the publica- tion of The Statesman possible, and to thank the people in general who have been so charitable over our mistakes and have so generously aided in build- ing us a reputation as a worker and an optimist in the cause of the Negro race and Colorado. CAMPBEL CHAPEL NOTES. Sunday, Dec. 25th, was a high day in Campbell. At 9:45 a. m. the Sun- day school enjoyed one or its largest attendance and a splendid time. At 1] a. m. the pastor preached his Christmas sermon that appealed to all that were in attendance. At 8 p, m. Mr. Chester A. Franklin, editor of The Statesman, delivered the first of a se- ties of laymen sermons that was full «f rich thought and instruction. He ased as a subject, “The Five and Two Talent People.” He beautifully illus trated his subject by picturing to his | hearers the painstaking and business | tact of the merchant and agent in, | first, his method of book keeping that | kept him in touch at all times with | his gains and losses; second, the kinds and quality of his stock; third, his shrewdness in presenting his goods to the customer. He declared that the Christian was a merchant, dealing out to the world the finest of merchan- dise, that of Christianity, real man- hood, real worth, that the world would buy our goods if properly pre- sented them in our living. And that no good agent or proprietor would abuse his goods or knock on the qual- ity or worth of his merchandise. Nei- ,ther would a faithful Christian reflect |} discredit on his religion nor on his Master. The sermon was replete with beautiful thouguts and truths. At one time Mr. Franklin became so en- thused that he raised to a very high pitch; we settled back in our seats oe that now we are going to have an old Methodist rousement ser- mon, but alas he caught himself in the act and lowered nis sails and made a safe landing, and continued along the quiet and placid waters of peace. The | congregation after the benediction crowded to the altar to congratulate ‘the speaker for his splendid effort Thanks to Mr. Franklin for his kind- ness. We will announce later who will | preach the lay sermon the last Sun- day in January. On Tuesday night, the 27th, the Sunday school rendered their cantata “Seeing Santa,” to a crowded house “Tne play was said to be the best in tne history of Campbell. Many nice | presents were presented to the chil- dren by Santa from the Xmas tree All went to their several homes feel ing happy. _ ‘hursday night was one of our rig holiday programs. It was the World’ Wcuder Concert. Quite a splendid ai ray of musical talent took part on the program, notably, Dr. Oscar J. Gauss, the violinist. Dr. Gauss is one of Dea- -ver’s i.nest musical artists. One se- lection from him we had our money's worth. Come again, Doctor. The see ond great attraction on the bill was Prof. George C, Sample with his three | trained bears: they performed some novel stunts. Prof. Sample is becom- ing very popular as a star showmen. The chances are that he will soon be on the road. Saturday night watch meeting at- tendance was not up to the usual, but taking all things into account we had a fair house for the night.

Quite a deal of competition was brought to bear between the several troops of the 9th Cavalry in the ef- forts each to outdo the other with their Xmas dinners. The decorations used by each of them was unique in every respect but the honor of having the most original and artistic designs fell to Troop 1, of which Capt. Chas. :oung, colored, is the commander On Xmas eve Troop 3, 9th Cavalry, gave a luncheon and hop. Dancing began at 4:30 in the afternoon and lasted until 12 o'clock. A large crowd o; Cheyenne and Ft. Russel people attended and everybody reports a fine time. An affair which was long looked forward to and much planned for was the slumber party given by Miss Sal- Ne Thistle. Tse hostess made herself famous last year but this year her party was the best ever Just the girls were invited, but the boys, not to be slighted, attended without invitation. The intrusion of the boys en costume, caused a panic among tue fair attendants and after just ten minutes of battle royal, the boys had to withdraw, leaving the girls to conduct their party according to thelr own whims. It was too bad, too, because the fol- lowing evening was when the boys scored an inning. They had already issued invitations for a box party to be given at the Atlas theatre, after which they were to entertain with a banquet at Ford's Palace Cafe. After the slumber party a great change was made in the list of guests and the young ladies were dropped. A crowd of ten couples occupied two boxes at the Atlas theatre, After the performance they went to Ford's Cafe, where a seven course banquet was served by the genial proprietor. After the luncheon the crowd went to Mrs. J. A. Baker's palatial residenc where dancing was enjoyed until the wee hours of morning, Those present were Mesdames J. A Baker, Eva Gilmore, Susie Lucas, Dora Landers, Viola Johnson, Misses Bertha Larkins, Eva and Marthina Palmer and Lacy Smith; Orlando Gaskin, Nolle R, Smith, Simon Gas- kin, Earl and Elmer Smith, Syencer Caves, Dea Robinson, Granville Bail- ey, Will Ashford, Isom Weatherly and Arthur Lyons. Mr. Clarence Cameron White, of In- ternational reputation as a violinist, was here in contert on Wednesday, Dee. 28th, and those present were en- tertained royally. Mr. White showed clearly that he merits all of the praise that has been given him. He was ac- companied by Mrs. J. A. Baker and was assisted in his concert by the Smith cavalry bend. Miss S.
