OF INTEREST TO COLORADO Death of Father Turner and George Walker--The Mexican Land Company and Other News Death of Father Turner and George Walker--The Mexican Land Company and Other News Twenty-Second Year OF INTE TO CO Death of Father Turner Mexican Land Comp REV. JOHN TURNER DEAD. The death on Saturday of Rev. John Turner will sadden many a heart. One of the old warriors of the cross, one of the early ministers of the Gospel, who was of our race, Father Turner, as he was reverently called, up to a couple of years ago maintained his place in the itinerant ministry of the A. M. E. church. But now his temple of clay is deserted, and he has gone to sing praises in the land beyond the flood. Life dealt kindly with him and he grew old gracefully, showing no startling loss of power until he was stricken with paralysis last year. He partially recovered, bert within the past few weeks he had begun to lose his grip on the things of now. His declining days were made comfortable by the efforts of the church and his friends. The services were very impressive. The ministry of the city was well represented, with Revs. J. C. C. Owens, J. C. Payne and J. P. Watson from out of the city, the last-named preaching the funeral at the request of Rev. Turner. The services were at the conclusion of the preaching turned over to the Masons who performed the Masonic burial rites at the request of the St. Louis Lodge, to which he belonged. Rev. Turner was a great church builder and both the Methodist churches of this city have their property due to his leadership. A widow only survives him. Paralysis, from which he had already suffered one strike, was the cause of his death. And so 84 years of active life, more than 50 of which were spent in the ministry, came to a close. Few men have had a larger part in the upbuilding of the church and the race. He was very prominent in his connection a few years ago, having just missed the bishop's bench by one vote. His work as a church builder is marvelous and was his chief joy. But when the memory of his usefulness will have faded there will still be green the recollection of his kindliness and that after all is the largest contribution one makes to his fellows. A wife survives him. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 14, 1911 THE CUBAN MUSICAL CO. The Cuban Musical Comedey Co. is a big company, hailing direct from Havana. It carries 25 people, travels in a special car of their own and have their own brass band and orchestra. Having just arrived in New York, they will get the best of booking, and are expected to tour the United States. AFRO-AMERICAN VOTERS. Important Part Which They Are Taking In Political Affairs. In the fight for honest elections that is now being waged by the different political organizations it is a noteworthy fact that the Afro-American is playing a large and important part, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. There was a time when, no matter what the manner of the election was or the man to head the ticket, if he bore the stamp of "G. O. P." he was certain of no questions asked by his colored colleague and receiving his vote in the bargain. But that is all changed, and now to obtain the assistance, whether small or great, of the Afro-American one must bear the stamp of honesty, capability and a near equilibrium to justice rather than the stamp of any political party or faction. OFF FOR AFRICA 1nere will be a Missionary Mass Meeting at Zion Baptist church at 3 o'clock tomorrow. This meeting will be a farewell to Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Gordon, who are en route to Liberia. GEORGE WALKER DEAD. After a year of sickness and confinement in one of the eastern sanitariums, the world's famous Negro straight man, Mr. George Walker, died last Saturday in New York from paralysis. He was the late partner of Bert Williams, who is now starring in Follies 1911, and was considered the cleverest Negro straight comedian there was in the business. He was the entertainer of crowned heads, and many others. He is the son of Mr. Nash Walker of Denver, formerly of Lawrence, Kan., and leaves many to mourn his death. As it will be a long time before there will ever be another Negro capable of taking the place of the one time world beater, Mr. George Walker. The funeral of George Walker was held in Lawrence, Kans., on Sunday. That was his former home. After going all up and down this country and abroad, and reaching the highest pinnacle of stage fame and emolument, in his death he was received back to the little city where he was born. Gone but not forgotten. TWO NEW PARTNERS. the Elite Drug Store at 2100 Arapahoe street has two new stockholders in the person of Dr. E. F. Cantey, who has been the pharmacist in charge and Charles A. Harris. The deal was consummated this week. Dr. Cantey through his former work in drug stores and for his services in this store is well known and needs no comment further than congratulation from his many friends and well-wishers. Mr. Harris is a Kansas university man, up in the profession. He is to take active charge along with Dr. Cantey, March 1. With two such skillful pharmacists, and the ever-increasing stock of goods, the Elite should continue to grow. THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFE TIME.

Last Sunday morning's congregation taxed the capacity of the house, while the spirit manifested in worship was fully in keeping with the number present. The morning sermon dealt with "The Compassionate Christ." Text, "Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor and Are Heavy Laden and I Will Give You Rest." The sermon seemed profitable to the large congregation. The excellent service rendered by the choir is worthy of comment. This faithful organization was present in full number and was at its best. The evening service was also well attended, a large portion of the congregation came to the B. Y. P. U. The newly elected president, Bro. L. H. Walton, took charge of the young people and outlined the plans for the coming year's work. We expect great things from our young people this year. The B. Y. P. U. president gave a luncheon to the members last Tuesday evening which called out a goodly number and an enjoyable season was spent. Next Sunday will be Missionary Day at Zion. Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Goddon of Los Angeles, California, have given up their very successful work at that place to take up the mission work in Africa. Bro. Gordon will occupy the pulpit all day. It is hoped that Zion and its friends will gather to give them a hearty "God speed." At 3 o'clock in the afternoon a missionary mass meeting will be held at the church. The pastors of the city, together with Dr. Gordon will furnish the program. All congregations of the city are invited to be with us. D. E. OVER. Pastor. Sion wilt be reterred to in the history of the order is one of much confusion, dissatisfaction and bitterness on the part of the various officials. November, always notable as a month of political activities, was es- pecially remarkable for the defeat of the majority of Republican candidates for state offices. Democratie governors were elected in Massachusetts, Maine, New York, New Jersey and Ohio. In speaking of the part which col- ored men took in the elections, in so far as their votes affected the great Democratic victory in the various states, the Rey. Dr. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, who is the national or- ganizer for the independent political leagues, says: “From reports received we feel justl- fied in saying that of the 45,000 color- ed voters In New York state 30,000 voted for Mr. Dix, and of the 75,000 In Ohio 55,000 at least supported Gov- ernor Harmon, while in Indiana, Illi- nois, Massachusetts, Missouri and New Jersey not less than 50 per cent voted with the Democrats.” The fourteenth annual convention of the Western Negro Press association was held in Muskogee, Okla., Noy. 25- 26. A. J. Smitherman, manager of the Cimeter, was elected president. The Enactment of Unjust Laws. Besides the many unjust laws passed by the various southern states to pre- vent colored men from voting, the most cruel, farreaching and drastic measure so far enacted by a municipal government was ihe one passed by the Baltimore city council which for- bids colored people from living in streets where the majority of residents are white, and vice versa. The new segregation law has already created considerable trouble. William Gallagher, an extensive real estite owner, has been charged with viola tion of the law because be rented one of his houses on Argyle avenue to co! ored™tenants. The colored people of the city will employ competent lawyers to have the measure tested as to its constitutionality before the highest courts, Pioneer Race Leader Honored. Led by President George BE. Wibecan Jr., the H. H. Garnet Republican club, Brooklyn, gave a magnificent banquet on Dec, 25 at the Hotel Imperial to comineniorate the birthday anniversary of the great abolition leader, Henry Hyland Garnet. Many features com- bined to make the event memorable, the chief of which was the coming to- gether of the leading colored citizens without regard to political or other differences in a common celebration in honor of the noble and deyoted leader of the citizens of color of New York state in slavery and-reconstruc- tion days. Though the dinner was under the auspices of the Garnet Republican club, leading Democrats of the city were present in just as enthusiastic number as their brethren of the oppd- site faith. The speakers were about evenly divided between the two par- tes. Splendid toasts were given on “As a Race Man,” by Hon. Charles W. An- derson: “As a Churchman” hv Rev. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. Dr. William R, Lawton, chairman of the general committee having charge of the arrangements for the banquet. acted as toastmaster. He paid a glow- ing tribute to the manhood, worth and character of 1. H. Garnet. He said in closing his eloquent address he (Garnet) was a gem from the ocean, a diamond from the earth and an Inspi- ration to young men of the present day. MODERN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL Institution at Downingtown, Pa., Re- sult of Good Leadership. ‘The question of preventing a Negre problem in the north, which the thoughtful race leaders see in the con. stant stream of migration from the south and in the trend of the north. ern born Negro of the present genera: tion, has resulted in a number of sub stantial movements in the north for his betterment. _ The results obtained by the Young “Men's and Young Women's Christian | associations, the Association For the Improvement of Colored. Girls, Home For Working Girls, the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, settle ‘ment house work and similar institn- tions and undertakings have attested ‘the wisdom of these movements in the | interest of the race. These institutions have brouglt to their support many generous patrons and a public liberal! ‘in its contributions because of a deey conviction of their necessity. As a result of much serious study and a number of conferences upon this question by some of the foremost col ored churchmen and business men 0’ the north they decided that the peecul far conditions which obtain among them as a race and for which there was no ample provision in the public | schools north made necessary an edu cational movement which would em | brace the plans of a moderr school. _ After much effort and sacrifice 1 farm of 110 acres was purchased tn Chester county, Pa., thirty-two miles | from Philadelphia, upon which has been laid the foundation of the Down ingtown Industrial school. Self helj | has been applied to strenuous tension and it was not until the colored people ‘through their churches and organiza | tions, had given a substantial hely and had maintained the school for twe and more years that the managers o: the institution appealed to philanthro pists and the state of Pennsylvania for help. The legislature appropriated $2,50¢ for two years’ maintenance and $5,004 to assist in the trades work of th school. There are four buildings on the grounds and a large quantity of farm ing utensils, a number of hogs, horse: and cows, which have been contribut ed. Ten thousand dollars is needed te complete Pennsylvania hall and $5.00 to install the trades. Because of the limited accommodation< more than 104 worthy young people were refused ad mittance this year. The president of the institution? Dr William A. Creditt, and the treasurer John 8. Trower, and all who are con nected with the management of it ur gently ask the friends of Negro educa tion to become acquainted with th object of the school and with what it i: doing. Many have visited the school and as a result churches and tndivid nals are contributing to it. “HEADQUARTERS FOR BUILDING LABORERS PINN & WALTON 1221 19th STREET. PHONE MAIN 5038 2346 LARIMER ST.

SPORTS AND THE THE STAGE By LEON PRYOR A NEAT SOUVENIR FROM THE RAILROAD MEN'S AND WAITERS' CLUB. There are in the possession of a number of us a neat souvenir from the Railroad Men's and Waiters' club in the shape of a 1911 calendar. They are works of art, comprising a variety of subjects. The club managers are wide awake and will certainly have cause to know that they have struck the keynote by the enthusiastic reception this is meeting. That reminds one that after all, however, it is good service which is at the bottom of popularity, and the hearty reception of this souvenir is really a compliment to the past service of the club. Gentlemen, we congratulate you! LANGFORD BEATS JENNETTE. Sam Langford defeated Joe Jennette last Tuesday night in a bout of twelve rounds, before the Boston Armory A. Club. During the entire battle Langford had Jennette at his mercy, and in the first round floored Jennette for the count of eight. But Jennette was like a bulldog. He just stayed anyhow, and received one of the worst beatings of all his ring career. Langford will no doubt be the next opponent for Jack Johnson. Jesse Williams and James Berry, the crack whist team of the D. A. C., were badly defeated last Tuesday evening at the R. M. A./A. by J. Hodges and George Faw, the champs of the house winning eight out of eleven games. Jesse Williams asked for a return game, which the winners gladly accepted, as they are crazy for the D. A. C. boys' game. NOTICE TO BOXERS I would like to meet all the boxers there are in the city on Jan. 19, Thursday evneing, at the R. M. A. club. Have a good proposition in sight. TONIGHT AT THE R. M. A.

Mr. Owsley is a rather young man, yet a very few have more things by way of songs and playlets to their credit. The following are some of the songs written by Mr. Owsley, most of which have become popular: Because I'm Lonesome, I Ain't as Foolish as I Look to Be, Too Late, I'm Crazy, I Am, You Can't Stay Here, I Wish I Could Keep Company. The following are some of Mr. Owsley's playlets: Influence, More Money than Sense, The Battle of Make Believe, In Hell for Twenty Minutes, A Good Woman, a Bad Man, The New Doctor, Gay Town, and several others. He is what is called another Belasco in the south and at present Mr. Owsley is manager of the Globe theatre, Jacksonville, Fla. A LEAGUE OF COLORED BALL PLAYERS. The latest in baseball circles is the organization of a league of Negro ball players. Minor leagues playing in limited territory have been in existence for several years. They did very well under the circumstances, but they were hampered in most every way. The new organization will be on the same scale as the big white leagues. There are eight cities named among those most favorable to the prosperity of the movement. Those selected are as follows: Chicago, Louisville, New Orleans, Mobile, St. Louis, Kansas City, Kans., and Columbus, O., and unless some unexpected changes take place, the cities mentioned will be settled on as the points for the season's games. GASTON & MERRIWEATHER A clever team of fast entertainers, who have been playing in and around St. Louis, have been engaged for six weeks at the Vendome theatre, St. Louis, and they are making good. GRAY & McCARVER. Lillie Gray, singing and dancing soubrette, and Eddie Carver, singing, dancing and roller skate specialist, have just signed contracts for fifteen weeks on the Pantages circuit. MISS ABBIE MITCHELL. Mrs. Abbie Mitchell Philips closed her final week in Chicago with much success. She will retire from the footlights to keep house for her new husband and says she will teach her little girl how to paint. MR. FRANK MONTGOMERY, THE SECOND WALKER. Much talk has been going on as to who will take the late George Walker's place. Well, there are two that would hold it down for a second, Sherman Coates and Frank Montgomery. And to my notion Mr. Montgomery is about the only candidate that is capable. His mannerisms, stage appearance, gestures and dress are convincingly similar to those of George Walker. Mr. Montgomery is a prominent song writer and at present is a member of the Crown Garden Stock Co., Indnanapolis, where he plays notning but straight. THE NEW GRAND THEATRE, CHICAGO. Ere long the new Grand theatre of Chicago will swing open its doors to the public. It will be a large addition to the amusement seekers of the stroll, or better known as State St. The new Grand will fill a long felt want and it must give the people of Chicago the best there is to be had or else it will be one of the greatest MERRY MASK RY WIDOW SK BALL MERRY WIDOW MASK BALL GIVEN BY THE Y.

Du Bols says it is strange that in a country like the United States, which is attempting to open the largest opportunities to men, the door of opportunity is kept closed against millions of American born citizens. Race prejudice is harmful not only to those whom it concerns directly, but to the entire country. It is spoiling our ideals of democracy, leading to caste and to the exaggeration of social differences. when you receive our beautiful catalogue and study our superb models at the wonderfully We sell the highest grade bicycles for less money Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "H" to prevent rim cutting.

Mrs. Mary Ruth continues ill. Mrs. Fred Young is confined to her bed. Rev. P. D. Yocum was pronounced insane, Monday afternoon, by a Durango jury. The trial was a pathetic scene, the old man bowed in grief and only friends to sustain him in his dark hour; his mind has been unbalanced for several weeks owing to the separation of him and his wife. He has Durango's heartfelt sympathy. He will be sent to the state asylum as soon as arrangements can be made. Mrs. M. E. Buchanan entertained at an elaborate luncheon New Years day. The menu consisted of oysters, cocktail, salted wafers, cold turkey, carabo chips, stuffed olives, hot biscuit, salmon salad, assorted cake, frozen egg-nogg, mints, nuts and bonbons and coffee.

HIRAM LODGE INSTALLS NEW CORPS OF OFFICERS. Interesting Exercises Mark Close of a Successful Year's Work. The most interesting event in Masonic circles in Brooklyn during the holiday period was the annual communication and installation of officers of Hiram lodge, No. 23, Free and Accepted Masons. All the officers were in their respective positions. Joseph L. Lane presided, and the annual calendar of business was gone through with precision. There were representatives present from the various lodges and a large delegation of ladies from the Eastern Star court. The outgoing officers made brief addresses, as did also those elected for the ensuing year. Revs. William R. Lawton and W. A. T. Miles each spoke in glowing terms of the success of the lodge during the year and commended the retiring officers for having done their duty. The following officers were installed: Peter M. Jacobs, W. M.; Joshua T. Foy, S. W.; Joseph Rilurrell, J. W.; Alexander Randolph, secretary; Robert Jackson, treasurer; Daniel A. Jackson, S. D.; John Myers, J. D.; Thomas Parham, S. S.; William H.

A feature of last week's social events was a progressive luncheon in which Mrs. Hattle Bruce, Miss Eva Carter, Mrs. America Turner and Mrs. Lizzie Mason participated as hostesses. The idea of such a luncheon is that each hostess in turn shall serve part of a repast, and the diners go from house to house, "seeking what they can devour." It was a jolly party that did the going and all had a good time. The Columbine Whist club is one of the new social organizations. The president is D. W. Walker; vice-president, A. Norris; treasurer, W. M. Jacobs; secretary, W. J. Carey. The evening was given over to progressive whist. A dutch lunch was served after the prizes were distributed. J.

SUMNER HONORED Hundredth Anniversary of Freedom's Hero Duly Observed. EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW. American Negro Academy Closes Its Fourteenth Year With Great Celebration In Memory of Charles Sumner, Who Championed Cause of Citizenship For the Race as a Principle of Right. Washington. McPherson square breaks the westward sweep of Vermont avenue to the hills where stands Howard university in this city. On this avenue, one block southward, was the Washington home of Charles Sumner, the resort of statesmen, scholars and art students in the civil war period Facing this square is the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church, in which, under the auspices of the American Negro academy, the Charles Sumner centenary celebration was held Friday evening. Jan. 6. The program was unique. A baritone solo was rendered by Dr. Charles Sumner Wormley, grandson of the celebrated caterer, James Wormley, who was one of the senator's great ad- THE ATLAS DRUG CO. Complete Line of Drugs, Chemicals Patent Medicines and Toilet Articles FIRST-CLASS WINES AND LIQUORS FOR FAMILY USE mirers; a poem by Mrs. F. J. Grimke was read by Miss Mary P. Burrill, Washington's leading elocutionist. Charles Sumner Post, G. A. R., occupied reserved seats in front. Members of the academy were seated on the platform. A notable address was delivered by Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, who has not allowed the narrow atmosphere of Washington to stifle the spirit of freedom brought by him from New England. The remarks by Professor Kelly Miller, a native of South Carolina, the state which sent Brooks to congress, were indeed thrilling, but the principal address by the president, Archibald W. Grimke, was a fine tribute to a great American. He said in part: Negro citizenship and suffrage he championed not to save the political power of his party and section, but as a duty which the republic owes to the weakest of her children because of their weakness. Equality before the law is, in fact, the only adequate defense that poverty has against property in modern civilized society. Well did Sumner understand this truth. Well did he understand that wrong has a fatal gift of metamorphosis—i. e., the ability to change its form without losing its identity. It had shed in America Negro slavery. It would reappear as Negro serfdom unless placed in the way of utter distinction. He toiled, therefore, in the senate and on the platform to make equality before the law the master principle in the social and political system of the nation. As his years increased so increased his passion for justice and equality. He was never weary of sowing and resowing the laws of the nation and the mind of the people with the grand ideas of the Declaration of Independence. His entire absorption in one lofty purpose lent to him a singular aloofness and isolation in the politics of the times. He was not like other political leaders. He laid stress on the ethical side of statesmanship. They emphasized the economical. He was chiefly concerned about the rights of persons; they about the rights of property. Such a great soul could not be a partisan. Party with him was an instrument to advance his ideas and nothing more. As long as it proved efficient, subservient to right he gave it his hearty support. It was therefore a foregone conclusion that Sumner and his party should quarrel. The military and personal character of General Grant's first administration furnished the casus belli. These two great men had no reciprocal appreciation the one for the other. Sumner was honest in his belief that Grant knew nothing but war, and quite as honest was Grant that Sumner had done nothing but talk. The breach in consequence widened between the latter and his party, for it naturally enough espoused the cause of the president. Sumner's imposing figure grew more distant and companionless. Domestic unhappiness, too, was eating into his proud heart. His health began to decline. The immedicable injury which his constitution had sustained from the assault of Brooks developed fresh complications and renewed all the old bodily sufferings. Alone in this extremity, he trod the wine press of sorrow and suffering. He had no longer a party to lean upon nor a state to support him nor any woman's hand to administer to him in the crisis of his need. He had now nothing but his cause, and to this he clung with the pathos and the passion of a grand and solitary spirit. Like as a mother about to die fixes her eyes on a darling child, so were his thoughts fixed on the struggling cause of human brotherhood and equality. J. C.

Chief among the large number of in- teresting events in Brooklyn on Mon- day, Jun. 2, was the overflow celebra- tion commemorating the Forty:seventh anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation held in the auditorium of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ. The exercises were beld under the auspices of the Lincoln Emancipation association, of which William C. Hen- ty is president. Counselor Francis F. Giles presided.

Dr. William Maurice Moss, whose theme was “God's Hand as Seen In the Ne- gro’s History.” He said in part: This forty-seventh anniversary of the emancipation proclamation affords an ele- vated viewpoint from which to observe the Negro’s advent, treatment, freedom and prozress in this country. He, as all other races, Is human. created by Al- mighty God in keeping with his teachings in Acts of the Apostles xvil, 26, 27—"God giveth to all iife and breath and hath THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. SS , made of one blood all nations of men tor to awe on all the face of the earth. The eighth commandment, “Thou shalt not steal,” was violated when the first twenty Negroes were stolen and sold as slaves from the Dutch man-of-war in 1619 on American soil, The frults of this long standing curse are still being reaped. This sin cannot be covered, but must be repented of. Armies can’t shoot it out. Naval forces can't drown it. Political trickery is an imperfect cloak for it. Conventions for peace have failed to please. Wrongs have a place of redress, which is the throne of God. This is the court for the nation's prayer. The Negro in this country is the prob- lem north and south, east and west, as long as he is legislated against. If he is received as a part and parcel of the body politic there is no Negro problem. He is here and cannot be exterminated. He has been dragged through the fron mills of slavery. In the furnace of fire they af- flicted him from: 1019 to 1863, a period of 244 years. In this period he was forced to be ignorant, bossed by masters. To know books and letters was a erime. His priv- ilege to serve God was by permission. Yet they multiplied. “If God be for us who can be against us?” The Negro was possessed with an In- born feeling that at some time and in some way he would be free, and he pray- ed through generations to that end. The smoldering fires burned, with occa- slonal outbreaks in efforts for freedom, such as (1) Nat Turner's uprise Aug. 21, 1831, who, with twenty odd men, shed blood from house to house, aiming to throw off the yoke. (@) John Brown's Harpers Ferry actions, Oct. 17, 1859, were heroic in the same in- terest. He was put to death on Dec. 2 of the same year, but his manly struggle for freedom immortalized him in Amer- fean history. The underground raflroad, ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin,” Henry Hyland Garnet, Frederick Douglass and many others too numerous to mention formed chapters of the signs of the times The Negroes’ prayers have always been effective. Through them God touched the heart and hand of the sixteenth prest- dent of the United States fn the person of Abraham Lincoln, who signed the eman- clation proclamation Jan. 1, 1863. From then until now special \egislation has been enacted for his detriment and to crush from him his manhood, pushed Into dirty Jim ‘Crow cars, (lisfranchised, organized out the market of bread weén- ning by labor unions, given the smallest wages and roughest work and segregated in many cities. In the face of all this it can be truthfully said there 3 not known to history a race on the face of the earth | which has made as much progress under similar circumstances tn forty-seven years as the Negro. This is true in the business world and every line of profession. Do not be satis- fied with so little of this world’s goods; not less religion, but more Christianity; more patience and greater confidence tn God. New Political Emancipation. The independent vote is proclaiming a new emancipation, says the South western Christian Advocate—an eman cipation from the tyranny of the party whip and from the sneers and scorn of those who would brand the man as a traitor who dared to vote as he thought hest. His Appointment Causes Much Com- ment In Political Circles. The recent appointment by Prest- dent Taft of Associate Justice White of Louisiana to chief justice of the United States, the highest judicial po- ‘sition in the government, has created no small degree of comment in politi- eal circles, says the Savennah (Ga.) Tribune.

The inability of the colored merchant to bolster up his business with the capital available for the white merchant is the one great cause of the fewness of our businesses, and their inability to meet competition. Credit is the basis of 95 per cent. of the world's commerce, and until we can accumulate capital, or circumvent the obstacles which lack of it makes across our path, we will be compelled to make allowance for the business men of our race. As an individual can accumulate wealth only by dint of effort and sacrifice, so it is with the race. In the meanwhile complaint is idle. If conditions compel a patron to ask for credit, he needs make no apology for doing so. But he owes to the future greatness of the race, no less than he does to his own honesty, strict compliance with the agreement he has as to payment. White merchants compel all customers to pay, giving extension of credit only when they can afford to do so. Poor colored merchants have no financial backing and need the money all the time. Let us consider this and make the best of the conditions we cannot mend. There is too much of invidious comparison between our business and professional men and their white competitors. Sometimes our men are in fault and do not do what is possible for them to do, to deserve the race's patronage; but on the other hand, sometimes the race urges our poor showing in business as a salve to its conscience for not giving more loyal support. The Statesman confesses it is not wise enough to recommend a course of action that will insure improvement in this direction, but we do hope that our calling attention to the mutual shortcomings of merchant and patron, creditor and debtor, will awaken our readers, and they will consider how they may help. Overdue accounts are the rock on which have been wrecked our grocery stores, the restaurants, the doctors, lawyers and even the churches. Let's treat each other as we know we should.

Messenger, under date of Dec. 24, 1910, says: "Conditions are improving for the Negro in the south, and right here last week we saw evidences of the remarkable change for the better that is going on. One week ago a policeman, suspecting a certain colored house, went there to arrest a woman and broke open the door to do so. The woman had done nothing, but submitted and went to the lockup with the officer. "There she gave ball for the charge of disorderly conduct and returned home, feeling deeply the outrage of an illegal arrest. She made known her troubles to her white neighbors, who kindly took the matter up, caused an investigation by the police committee of the city council and produced sufficient testimony from surrounding neighbors to prove that the officer exceeded his authority in making the arrest. "In the meantime she was tried by the mayor and fined $20 for disorderly conduct, but at a meeting of the town council Friday night a motion was made to remit the fine. The mayor hesitated in putting the motion, but he was forced to do so, and the motion was carried. "The matter stirred up the council for awhile, and the mayor threatened to resign. But the fine was returned, justice prevailed and matters have again assumed their equilibrium. 'His truth is marching on.'" DETERMINED TO SUCCEED. Segregation Ordinance Cannot Stop Race Progress In Baltimore. In speaking editorially of the effect of the west segregation ordinance upon the progress of the colored people of Baltimore the Afro-American Ledger of Dec. 31 last says: "As we see it just at this time and for the coming year, the colored people of this city do not intend to be set back one inch by any segregation or other kind of measure that may be passed to do them an injury. "We have started up the hill of progress and we are not going to stop for barking of dogs that may be met on our passage up. "Perhaps during no year in the history of the colored people of this city was more property bought than during the past year. "The incoming year will probably be a record breaker, the segregation ordinance notwithstanding. We are going to buy property, and we are going to live in it, and the authorities are not going to disturb us in possession of it either." ```markdown ``` DENVER PERSONALS. A. M.

President Taft's policy announced be- fore the elections which contemplated the appointment of Negroes to high public offices has apparently suffered a severe change since the elections, says the New York American. The intention to make William H. Lewis, now assistant district attorney at Boston, an assistant attorney gen- eral of the United States Is not to be carried out. Attorney General Wicker- sham has announced that he has no need of Lewis in his department, and the president has made it known that the appointment will not be made. Naturally there is some indignation among prominent Negroes, who charge that President Taft felt one way about the matter when the votes of Negroes were wanted for the Republican ticket in Ole and elsewhere and that he has shown decided indifference since those votes were delivered. Several prominent Negro leaders have seen the president recently, and he has assured them that he has not changed his attitude in the slightest degree, but that the members of his cabinet object ed to the policy he had hoped to in augurate. The president had held that the ap pointment of colored men to office in the southern states caused friction be- tween the races in those states and therefore it would be better to accord recognition to the colored Republicans by appointing a few of the most prom. nent to high offices in Washington. He has carried out one part of this policy by making no such appoint: ments to offices in the south, but he has not appolnted any of them to hich offices at Washington. The colored men therefore find themselves almost without recognition by this administra- thon. They do not like ft, and some of them declare it will greatly accelerate the Movement now in progress to make the colored man an independent and pro- gressive voter Instead of a mere sup porter of the Republican organization.
