SOLDIER BOYS MAKE FINE SHOWING

```
A FEATURE of the stock show this week is the riding squad of cavalarymen from the far famed 9th, stationed at Fort Russell, Wyo. This regiment which sprang into international fame in the early nineties for sensation.
al riding in the Sioux campaign, still produces veritable Centaurs, as all visitors to the big show can testify. Each night and Thursday at the matinee they have been the climax of the program. Their pyramid riding, tandem riding and driving, vaulting, hurdle vaulting, aiding of wounded as in a battle, as well as individual stunts, have won applause as have no other events. Speaking of the Tuesday night performance one daily paper says:
"The troop of negro Ninth cavalrymen—the same that made a reputation on San Juan Hill in Cuba—is receiving a great deal of applause. As wild west riders, Buffalo Bill and his minions in their palmy days had nothing on these dusky sons. Their exhibition drill last night was one of the finest exhibitions witnessed in Denver and the great crowd cheered them.
One tastefully gowned woman with real tears starting from her eyes said: "It seems so good to live in the old U. S. A. when you know that such men as these are ready to defend the flag."
Of other drills as much has been said, but this one comment suffices to show that the boys won their place in the public's heart over all prejudice, by sheer merit. The escutcheon of the black cavalrymen from the days of the peerless Hannibal's Numidian Cavalry down to today, is bright. But wherever bravery is a toast and men's valorous deeds are a theme for song and story, the Ninth U. S. cavalry is known, and of this wonderful regiment, the riding squad is the pick. All of the men are from six to nine years in service. Their sinewy frames and expert skill make them one with the horse. Feats like picking up men lying on the ground while the horse is at gallop, or the spectacular pyramid, require training and are possible at

all only to such men as are in the riding squad.
They are the pick of the regiment not alone for riding. For instance, Corporal Woodfork has a reputation co-equal with the boundaries of the nation, and even is known is Europe as the best horse trainer in the United States army. His work in high schooling has been displayed in many a show and some horses here were of his training. Ballinger for his trumpeting, Taylor for his running, are above the multitude. One might single out many individual excellencies, but it is the wonderful team work, the precise evolutions of the whole squad that have made famous the North Cavalry riding squad. To this quality no less than their individual merit they owe the first prize at Ft. Myer, Virginia; the first at Ft. Riley, Kansas; first at Cheyenne on two occasions; first at Douglas, Wyo., on two occasions; first at Ft. Leavenworth, to say nothing of their victorious start just after organization at Manila in 1907. Their reputation as the best in the United States army is conceded. And that means the best in the world, for the United States Cavalry regiments are acknowledged superior to any, judged by any standard.
The squad will return to Ft. Russell Monday, having been here since last Sunday. They have been quartered near the stock show. Their smart appearance about town and their gentlemanly behavior have occasioned much favorable comment.
The men who are here are:
Troop A—Private Johnson.
Troop B—Private Weedon.
Troop C—Private Fleming.
Troop D—Sergeants Robinson, Johnson and Howard, Corporal Woodfork, Privates Allen and Johnson.
roop E—Corporal Ayres, Privates Ballinge rand Mimms.

BISHOP PARKS OVER THE FIFTH DISTRICT.
The serious illness of Bishop Abram Grant continues. The latest advices from Kansas City report him even worse than a week ago. His weakness is far greater, especially since the death of Mrs. Grant Sunday. She has been in poor health for years, and one of the regrets that he spoke most if in his approaching death was leaving her for others to care for. Providence has seen fit to call her home first, and now the Bishop himself, gray with the weight of years and service, is waiting a little while to follow after her.
In the meanwhile Bishop H. B. Parks has in charge the work of the Fifth Episcopal district. Bishop Parks is one of the newly elected bishops. He was for years on the mission board, having been elevated to it after pastoring several Missouri valley charges.
BASS WINS PRIZES
No horse show is complete without Tom Bass of Mexico, Mo., the "greatest horseman in the world." A little grayer, but not one day older, the same cool, scutinizing look, untouched by the flattery of wealth and society, he has come back to the city after an absence of years. And his coming is like that of a conquering hero. With his string of five horses, one of them the incomparable Louis A., who dances and does everything but talks, he has been winning prizes right and left. Including Wednesday, he has won two firsts, two seconds and one third prize, and with all that he has won the general acknowledgment that his success is not good fortune, but the result of merit and persistence. He is called upon to ride for exhibition at performances and seems to be the popular favorite.
Mr. Bass is the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. O. Dishman.
A WIDE AWAKE NEGRO ENTERPRISE.
One year ago Johnson Seymour, N. A. McAlpin and W. A. Jordan established a hand laundry in Trinidad, Colo., which has afforded labor for 8 to 10 persons ever since, and they anticipate a prosperous new year.

THE FORERUNNER OF AN AFRICAN COLONY.
Sunday was a day extrordinary in Zion church. The presence of Rev. Gordon and wife from Los Angeles, who are en route to the mission field in Africa, lent special interest to all services. Besides the morning and evening services, there was a special missionary mass meeting in the afternoon at which other city pastors spoke, as well as Zion's pastor and Rev. Gordon. The church was crowded all day.
There is a difference between the trip of Rev. and Mrs. Gordon and other missionaries. He is going on his own funds, sent by no society or church. He feels the opportunity for work there is calling him and he is going. Being a man of ample means, he is paying his own expenses. It is understood that he is the forerunner of a large colony that will go there from Africa if the prospects are good. He expects to return to this country after a year and make a report of his findings. He and wife left the city Thursday night.
REV. OVER ON A LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
Rev. D. E. Over left the city Tuesday night to spend three months in California. This is the leave of absence granted him by the church to regain his health. For the past month he has been improving steadily and there is every reason to hope that he will return to the city fully recovered in health. In his absence Rev. L. B. Banks will have charge of the church services on Sunday. Rev. Banks has spent considerable time in the city and needs no introduction.
MADAM HACKLEY
Madame E. Azalia Hackley and her protege, Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the blind singer, who have been resting in Atlanta the past three weeks, are now en route to St. Louis via Tuskegee, New Orleans, Birmingham and Nashville, reaching St. Louis Jan. 17. Madame Hackley has arranged a "welcome recital" in St. Louis Jan. 23 at St. Paul's church. Miss Fitzhugh has been presented in nearly all the large cities at great expense.
Madame Hackley will formally relinquish all charge of Miss Fitzhugh, publish an itemized report of the finances of her stewardship and then go South to rest. Had not her health suffered from the tremendous responsibility, she would have continued the tour until the end of May. She feels that she has done all in her power and that the race should assist Miss Fitzhugh now, since she has been given a national reputation.

Colored Man of Exceptional Ability. Among the many intelligent colored men scattered throughout the United States as far back as 1833 was one
THE STATESMAN—10
John Chavis of Wake county, N. C. It is said that Mr. Chavis opened the first classical school for white persons ever conducted by a colored man in the south. He was proficient in Greek, French and Hebrew. He was also a gifted preacher, and as such he worked among the white people of Wake county, as he was forbidden to preach openly to the slaves.
Dr. J. Milton Waldron's Good Advice.
The Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron of Washington is quoted in a recent sermon as having said:
"Because John Arthur Johnson won the mastery over James J. Jeffries is no proof that every Negro is a Jack Johnson or that every white man is a Jim Jeffries, and the thousands of young Negroes and young white men who have pugilistic acolrations would do well to turn their attention to some other means of winning a livelihood and fame."
TILLERS OF THE SOIL MEET.
The twentieth annual meeting of the Tuskegee Negro conference began its sessions at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute on Wednesday morning, Jan. 18. Among the topics discussed were "Making Farming Pay," "Successful Truck Farming, Fruit Raising, Live Stock and Poultry Raising, Cotton Raising," "How to Successfully Manage a Large Plantation" and "How to Make a Living on a Small Farm."
A number of prominent white planters were present, and the question of making tenant farming more profitable both to the landlord and to the tenant was discussed somewhat at length.
On Thursday the annual workers' conference was held. On this occasion an unusually large number of persons directly engaged in education, from the schools of the south especially, or interested in the uplift of the Negro we present.
Among the subjects taken up at the workers' conference was the following: "How can ministers, teachers and business men assist the farmers to make agriculture more profitable, particularly by assisting in teaching farmers more efficient methods of farming and also to develop the business side of farming?"
MEN WHO ARE DOING THINGS.
Three Well Known Newspaper Correspondents and Their Work. R. W. Thompson, the wide awake and capable manager of a national news bureau in Washington which bears his name, pays a deserving compliment to three worthy scribes when he says: "At present the race has only three traveling correspondents who are giving their entire time to the work. These are Charles Stewart, Horace D. Slatter and George F. King.
"They are masters of the reporting art, and their matter is in constant demand by the great daillies of the southland. They make a specialty of handling the big meetings, conferences, etc., in which the most prominent Negro ministers, teachers and business factors take part, and the white editors realize that only through such well informed and widely acquainted colored writers as Stewart, Slatter and King can they secure the facts they desire.
"These faithful servitors make a living at the reportorial calling, but are far from being compensated in proportion to their true worth. But for them few of our men and fewer of our helpful movements would have had a look in in the gallery of fame."

LANGFORD BEATS ATWATER. |ance of a new minstrel organizatic
Sam Langford is still putting the
boys away. He and Fred Atwater, a
big heavyweight Negro boxer, were
te do a big stunt in Utica, New York,
last Monday night. Well, the stunt
came off all right, but it was so one-
sided that it was stopped in the third
round, as Langford was beating his
man to death, or in other words, he
was more like a buzz saw than a hu-
man prize fighter.
KID COTTON AND KLONDIKE.
The fight between Cotton and Klon-
dike, which took place in Pittsburg
the other night, was stopped on ac-
count of Cotton’s continual dirty way
of fouling his man Klondike.
GARY AND BAMBOO.
This clever team of performers are
making quite a hit. Miss Gary does
a kid turn that is in a class by itself.
They are playing at the Crown Gar-
den theatre, Indianapolis, this week
and are going big.
THE SAVOY THEATRE, SPRING-
FIELD. OHIO.
The Savoy, a new Negro theatre in
the city of Springfield, opened their
doors to the public last week, and the
crowds were immense. The follow-
ing acts are being played: Johnson &
Ringgold, Joe and Amanda Russell,
Harris & Walker, and Chas. Beebe
made up the bill, and they all were
great. Prof. G. Williams is manager
and looks for much success.
BIG POOL TOURNAMENT IN SIGHT
AT THE R. M. A. CLUB.
Probably one of the biggest events
ever pulled off at the R. M. A. Club
will be that of Mr. Arthur E. Dortch
and little Mac Smart in a big cham-
pionship pool tournament, which is
hoped to take place in a short time.
Dortch is one of the best Negro pool
players in the country and will prob-
ably make a great showing, but Mac
Smart says that he is willing to meet
all comers, .and they will probably
sign Articles for a match game next
week, which will be for the champion-
ship of the state, and all members and
visitors will be cordially invited.
Watch for the date starting the big
match, as it will be a big attraction.
LLOYD HALL MAY PLAY BALL.
Mr. Lloyd Hall, one of the _ best
catchers in the West, is liable to go.
East in early spring to play on one of
the Negro national baseball teams. As
he has already received a very neat
offer and will probably accept it, Mr.
Hall is an all around athlete and is
fast, clever and sturdy and there is
no reason why he shouldnt make
good as a catcher on one of the big
league teams. i

also two women of the company hurt
in a race riot following the perform-
ance of a new minstrel organization
from New “Orleans. The members of
the company were en route to their
boarding house when attacked by a
party of 25 or 30 unidentified white
men, and pursued half a mile. One
Negro’s skull was crushed with a club
and no arrests have been made up to
the present time. The company was
said to have been a clever one and
the prospects looked good But this
horrible murdering act has complete-
ly broken the company up.
WEBBSTER & GOODMAN.
Emmett Webbster, the piano player
formerly with the Morgan Jackson or-
chestra, is in the musical business
with Ben Goodman, violinist, who is
manager of one of the big white or-
chestras of this city, and as a duo
they are very pleasing, and in a short
course of time Mr. Webbster intends
to organize a first class seven piece
orchestra, one that will be ready for
all engagements, large or small. And
to my notion he couldn’t do a better
deed, as we are certainly in need of
ja first class brass orchestra, and it is
hoped that Mr. Webbster won't be all
year getting together, ~as the people
are demanding good music every day.
NEW WHITE MEN’S HOPES AP.
PEAR EVERY DAY.
Carl Morris of Oklahoma is said to
be one of the white men’s hopes. He
hopes in time to meet the redoubtable
one, Jack Johnson, but at present is
taking on all of the dubs in the coun-
try and before he ever thinks about
entering the ring with Johnson he
must beat such men as Sam Langford,
Joe Jennette, Al Kaufman and many
others, and until then there will be
nothing doing with he and the mighty
Jack Johnson.
BILLY McCLAIN.
At one time a resident of this coun-
try but now residing in Paris, France.
Billy McClain, the erstwhile Hoosier
comedian and producer, is doing ev-
erything in his power to get more
Negro talent abroad, and he says the

CORPORAL WHITE CAMP NO. 4 UNITED SPANISH WAR VETERANS, HOLDS INSTALLATION.
On Friday evening, January 13, the burden of office fell from the shoulders of those who have done their duty faithfully and well, to the shoulders of those who must struggle to keep up the standard of the camp. By authority from Floyd H. Crumbly, commander of the Department of the Columbia, Maj. Hayes., of the Department of Colorado, acted as installing officer. He was introduced with fitting remarks by Commander Campbell, and in turn the Major praised the camp for its excellent showing, stating among other things, that he knew of no camp so well uniformed oror that had made the rapid progress of this camp. Past officers have worked hard, and too much credit can not be given them. The new officers took their station with a determination to increase the membership and place the camp at the head of the list. Officers were appointed and installed as follows:
John E. Oglesby, Commander.
Paul Caldwell, Senior Vice Com.
J. Virgil Chapman, Junior Vice Com.
William Robinson, Chaplain.
Walter Vernell, Quartermaster.
Clarence E. Langston, Adjutant.

STUDIOUS YOUNG PEOPLE ON LITERARY PROGRAM
Concord Literary Circle Holds Splendid Meeting—Miss Wade Speaks.
The first meeting for the new year of the Concord Literary circle in Brooklyn was held on Thursday evening, Jan. 12. Walter K. Taylor, president of the organization, presided in his usual painstaking way. Much interest was manifested in the exercises on the part of the young people, as the program was rendered in toto by young men and women of the grammar and high schools, the principal speaker being a young teacher.
The paper read by Miss Rebecca F. Martin, a former student of Hampton institute, was thoughtful, instructive and well written. Miss Martin, who has resided in Brooklyn since leaving Hampton a few years ago, has made good use of her time. She is studious, ambitious and self reliant. Her discourse aroused much enthusiasm on account of the practical truths woven into its literary construction.
Miss Sadie O. Jackson and Miss Georgia Cook, both bright and promising young women, each rendered pleasing vocal solos. Miss Jackson is an aspirant to the medical profession. She will first take the regular professional course for trained nurses. Miss Cook is very skillful in music, art work and other subjects which require time and thought to perfect. Mr. McDonald also contributed to the musical program.

ASSEMBLYMAN H. W. BASS.
Elected by Large Vote From Sixth Dis-
trict In Philadelphia.
Afro-Americans in Pennsylvania, and
especially the voters in the Sixth dis-
trict of the Seventh ward in Philadel-
phia, are to be congratulated upon the
unusually large vote which they polled
at the recent election.
From the Sixth district in Philadel-
phia 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
{t 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
ees in the rightful performance of
duty in his new field.
Elks Consolidate Under New Title.
Under the new consolidation act Elk
lodges among Afro-Americans will
hereafter bear the title name of Beney-
olent and Protective Order of Elks of
the World. The general officers of the
order are: President, Benjamin F. How-
ard, Covington, Ky.; grand president
board of trustees, James E. Mills, Nor-
folk, Va.; grand organizer, J. Frank
Wheaton, New York; grand exalted
ruler, Harry H. Pace, Memphis, Tenn.;

Baneful Effect of Race Prejudice.
Professor W. E. 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 cit-
izens,
Race prejudice is harmful not only
to those whom it concerns directly,
but to the entire country. It is spoll-
Ing our ideals of democracy, leading
to caste and to the exaggeration of so
cial differences.

GREAT SUMNER CELEBRATION
Association For Advancement of Colored People Lauds Him.
ORATION BY DR. W. E. B. DU BOIS
Meeting House of the Ethical Culture Society In New York the Scene of Many Distinguished Persons Gathered to Commemorate Hundredth Anniversary of a Noble American.
The speakers at the Charles Sumner celebration held in the meeting house of the Society For Ethical Culture in New York under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People were Mrs. Fanny Garrison Villard, Hon. Moorefield Story, Dr. Stephen S. Wise and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. Dr. John Lovejoy Elliott presided. Dr. Du Bois, whose subject was "Charles Sumner and Peace," spoke in part as follows:
My thesis tonight is simple. From the life of Charles Sumner and from his teaching I wish to emphasize the truth of these statements:
War is cruelty and waste.
The greatest cause of war today is race prejudice.
Only in the abatement of race prejudice can we hope to eliminate war.
To many minds it must seem almost accidental that Charles Sumner was at once the advocate of world peace and of the abolition of human slavery, and yet the connection between the two is perhaps more evident today than it was in his time, for it cannot be disputed that the present flaming of hatred and contempt for certain races of men is not only an irresistible invitation to private lawlessness and public vengeance, but it lies behind nine-tenths of that international anarchy which we call war.
It would be possible to imagine that from the humanitarian ideal of the freedom of a particular race Charles Sumner would easily drift to the larger ideal of human peace for all the world, but this historically was not the method of his mental development. On the contrary, it was from an early and firm conviction of the horror of war and the practicability of peace that Mr. Sumner by natural, even if not fully conscious, logic came to apply the larger principle to the social war of man on men which we call slavery.
Charles Sumner began his public life by what he himself aptly called a declaration of war on war. His first great speech by which the world learned to listen to him was one of the completest arguments against war ever made, an argument which it will not be out of place to sketch here again in swift outline. It was done in 1845 on July 4, the birthday of the nation, and it opened with the voice of the fathers of the nation to their children:
"Cease to vaunt what you do and what has been done for you. Learn to walk meekly and to think humbly. Cultivate habits of self sacrifice. Never aim at what is not right, persuaded that without this every possession and all knowledge will become an evil and a shame. And may these words of ours be ever in your minds! Strive to increase the inheritance we have bequeathed to you, bearing in mind always that if we excel you in virtue such a victory will be to us a mortification, while defeat will bring happiness. In this way you may conquer us. Nothing is more shameful for a man than a claim to esteem not on his own merits, but on the fame of his ancestors. The glory of the fathers is doubtless to their children a most precious treasure, but to enjoy it without transmission to the next generation and without addition is the extreme of ignominy."
With this beginning Sumner asked:
"What is national honor and glory? Is
THE STATESMAN—2
It the rape of Mexico or the browbeating of England? Can there be," he cried, "in our age any peace which is not honorable, any war that is not dishonorable? To be sure, we bewilder the imagination of the child with the glamour of war, but war is simply a habit, a custom, a trial by combat as illogical as any that ever disgraced the childish middle age of the world."
But, ladles and gentlemen, Charles Sumner lived to teach us that after thousands of years of the debauchery of blood and iron world peace is not coming at the waving of a well gloved hand. It is going to cost something to realize a world peace, and it is going to cost you something.
The reason is clear. Peace comes only by submission of will to will. Now, submission may be brought about in many ways—by persuasion, by reasoning or by knocking your opponent on the head with a club—and the picture of world peace that floats before many a dilettant's eyes is that of having most of the work submit meekly and quickly to their own ideas without the cost of war.
Consider, for instance, as Charles Sumner was willing to consider, the plight of the black man in the United States. Are we by slavery and caste going to force these people to be and do and think as we wish them and then call that peace? Are they human beings to be reasoned with and taught and persuaded or are they to keep the attitude of the conquered and the enslaved? In other words, is it worth while to bother with the opinions of the helpless?
But if to you, as to him, the vision of peace on earth is so vast and starry a thing that the very air of its overhanging heyens means good will toward men, the disposition to listen to the wants and desires and ambitions of men not because you agree with them, but because they are men, begotten of the same father and heirs to the same wide world—unless in this way and in this spirit you can dare on earth the democracy of all races and classes and seek to rule, if rule you may, by reason and persuasion and not by the big stick—unless this is so you are not advocates of peace, but fomenters of blood and war and misery.
And yet has not the event proved the absolutely impregnable position of Charles Sumner in the matter of human freedom and Negro enfranchisement and civil rights? The same spirit that condemned black men in 1850 to perpetual slavery was the spirit that forced the Russo-Japanese war, that is making China an armed camp and that is saying to every black man on earth today that if he ever expects to be recognized as a man he has got to fight.
In the memory, then, of this good man, who hated war and slavery with perfect hatred and in so doing did well even though it cost him health and social peace and even life itself—in his memory may not we who believe in peace fight through education the race prejudice which is the cause of war?

The Way to Purify American Politics. The Southwestern Christian Advocate says American politics stand a chance of being purified and the political bosses displaced just in proportion as the American voter becomes independent and will not be delivered by the dictation of any political machine or party.

Has Taft Deserted William H. Lewis?
Since it seems a certainty that Pres-

Hon, William H. Lewis as an assist-
ant United States attorney general, as
was announced previous to the elec

positions of trust and honor to which
the president might assign Mr. Lewis.
Some consideration is due Mr. Lewis
for the embarrassing position in which
the administration has left him.

| This, as you know, is the season which
is proclaimed to be the season of peace on
earth and good will to men. It sounds
fine, and I do not believe there could be a
better ideal to work to than that one, but
I am afraid up to this time it has been
only an fdeal.
You probably imagine that the colored
people are the only people who don't get
their rights, but if it is any consolation to
you I want to say to you that there are
white people who suffer a great deal more.
The Jewish race, which dates back thou-
sands of years and, like yours, dates back
to a time when they were known to be in
slavery, has been persecuted and legis-
lated against in all countries of the world
since the beginning of time.
In Russia today the Jews are persecut-
ed in a way that you would not believe.
It is not a question of color, but of re-
ligion.
And when these people have suffered for
thousands of years you ought not to feel
very badly at the progress you have made
in the last thirty or forty years. You have
got a great deal more to hope for than
the Jews of the world have had since the
time they were in slavery.
You would probably be surprised to
_know that there are clubs in Chicago, rep-
resenting what you might call the best
type of citizenship, that do not admit
Jews to membership, although one of
them {s called a club of university men.
I do not want you to feel I have an ax to
grind because I couldn’! get in. Even if
they admitted Jews I am not a university
man. I am not at all hurt by the stand
this club takes. Personally I have no
quarrel with any man who takes that po-
sition. I believe that the Jew has a good
chance in this country and that if he be-
haves himself properly he will some day
come into his own.
The Castle Rescue home, Bryan,
Tex., was founded in 1906 for the pur-
pose of reclaiming fallen girls and giy-
ing them a new start in life. The home
has about twelve acres of land and
other property valued at $5,000, clear
ef debt. The managers of the insti-
tution announce the need of $3,000
with which to fully equip the work
so that the very best intellectual,
physical and moral training may be
given.

New Publication In the Interest o'
Interracial Union.
The Hinds Publishing company in
announcing {ts new publication, the
Colonial Guardian, which is to be is-
sued monthly, beginning with the Jan-
uary number, says jn consequence of
the growing connection between the
members of the colored race at home
and abroad the object of the Colonial
Guardian is to voice the sentiments of
such a connection, as there is no such
publication extant for that purpose.
The new periodical will deal largely
with the progress and development of
the colored people In the United
States and those in the West Indies,
defending also the interests of colored
persons throughout the world. Both
colored Americans and West Indians
will coatribute to its pages. BE. St.

the paper, is a practical printer by
trade, having had considerable expe-
rience in the business before coming

Donate $25,000 Toward Movement to
Erect and Equip Building For Young
Men's Christian Association In Chi-
cago—Plan and Scope Outlined.
Chicago.—Widespread interest Is be-
{ng manifested in Young Men’s Chris-
‘an association circles throughout the
country over the recent announcement
of gifts amounting to $25,000 each
from Messrs. Julius Rosenwald and
N. W. Harris toward the fund which
has already been started for the erec-
tion of a suitable building for Y. M.
C. A. work among Afro-Americans in
this city.
The announcement of the gifts was
made at a meeting in Odd Fellows’
hall, on State street, at which a stere-
opticon address on “The Worldwide
Work of the Young Men’s Christian
Association” was delivered by L. Wil-
bur Messer, general secretary of the
Chicago association. At the close of
this address Mr. Rosenwald and Mr.
Harris announced their proposals.
It was particularly appropriate, Mr.
Rosenwald pointed out in nnnouncing
his gift, that in a movement of this
kind one of the leaders should be a
Jew. A race which has suffered cen-
turies of persecution, he said, should
show practical sympathy for a people
but recently released from actual slav-
ery and now trammeled on every side
by race prejudice and actual if not
nominal social ostracism.
In making the gifts through the Y.
M. C. A. the two men said they had
distinct purposes in view. ‘They feel
that the Y. M. ©. A. is the organiza-
tion best fitted to fight the evils that
exist among the colored people them-
selves, for the Y. M. ©. A. not only
provides its members with healthy
sports and amusements, but affords
them opportunities for moral and re
ligious advancement.
Although the two offers are equal in
their amounts, they differ to some ex-
tent as to their terms, and that of Mr.
Rosenwald is not confined to Chicago,
but is extended to every city of the
United States where Negroes evince
enough race spirit to raise a part of
the sum necessary to erect a building.
His offer to Chicago is of $25,000 on
condition that $75,000 more is raised
by popular subscription. This same
offer holds good to every other city in
America, ‘The time set for raising the
$75,000 by Mr. Rosenwald fs five years.
Mr. Harris’ offer is of $25,000 for a
Chicago building, provided that $125,-
000 is raised within six months.
Taking these two offers together, the
local Y. M. C. A. has decided to at:
tempt to raise $150,000. Fifty thou-
sand dollars of this will come from
_ Mr, Rosenwald and Mr. Harris, $50,000
will be raised among the Negroes of
Chicago, and the remainder will be
sought from the general public.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qual
ities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair
on bald places of the head, many persons sodrned the idea that such @
thing 14s possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly
achieviug success, The proof of the value of our work is that we are be
ing imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually
grown and the further fact that they have very frequently menticned 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”

RESIGNS A NATIONAL APPOINTMENT.
From Kansas City comes the news of the resignation of Nelson C. Crews, whose nomination to be a special examiner of the Agricultural department was made by the president some months ago. The news further states that Mr. Crews will devote his entire time to his editorial duties on the Kansas City Rising Sun. The spectacle of a Negro voluntarily separating himself from a fat government job is so unusual that we know not how to comment. In any event, it is a pleasure for the newspaper fraternity to know that the genial Nelson C. is once more in harness, and we utter a prayer that he may not have made a choice for the worse financially.
GOOD WISHES FOR CHIEF HEALY.
The Five Points neighborhood is taking considerable interest in the candidacy of John F. Healy, the fire chief, located at the house of engine No. 3. Chief Healy is a candidate for deputy chief and happens to hold a lead in the mental test over the other applicants. He has been located at this engine house for considerable time now and has made many warm friends in that section of the city who are ready to do anything to help out his cause. Because he is a prince of good fellows he has the well wishes of The Statesman, and because he has qualified himself in a manner superior to others, he has the best wishes of all who wish the civil service requirements of the charter carried out.
NOT TOO EARLY TO BEGIN PLANNING.
It is proposed that there shall be a national exhibition in 1913 o fthe progress of the American Negro in the nity years since his emancipation in 1863. The idea originated with Prof. Booker T. Washington and his powerful influence has won for it the commendation of the president, and will doubtless secure a national appropriation for it similar to those made for other great exhibitions. It is early to speak of the detail work that will have to be done, but not too early. Not having commercial associations and men of wealth like our white neighbors, we have not the facilities for quick preparation they have, and therefore we call the attention of Colorado people to the need of beginning early to consider what they will exhibit and how they shall arrange to place their exhibits on the grounds.
Since this movement is designed to win for the Negro the approbation of the world as a real factor in the American civilization, we believe that it should be free of the incubus of charity appeals to our white neighbors or to the state to make it possible. In this we refer to Colorado. Constituting only four per cent. of the state's population, and contributing an even smaller per cent. of its taxes, a large appropriation to pay for the gathering of our exhibits and paying

the freight on them would be out of proportion. A far better plan would be to finance our own plans.
The hungry patriot who is willing to sacrifice himself on the altar of his race's need, by superintending the disbursement of $10,000 or $15,000 of the state's money in preparing an exhibit of the Negro's work in Colorado, will soon be springing up, and unless we begin early to prepare, poor as his methods will be, they will be our only means of making any showing. Let Colorado make its methods, as well as its exhibit, a real contribution to the worth of the race. And that we cannot do except we begin to take thought far in advance.
NO COLOR LABEL ON TOM BASS.
Sandwiched in between Busch, the millionaire brewer, and Miss Long, the daughter of a Kansas City millionaire, a colored man is mentioned as an exhibitor at the stock show in the daily papers early in the week. Many who look always for the label of color possibly did not know that Tom Bass of Mexico, Mo., winner of first and second prize for saddle horses was a member of our race. Yet it is a fact that he is, and is acclaimed the greatest trainer of saddle horses in the world. No wonder his name passed without a tag! With all our heart we wish that our race be given credit for its men of mark. Over every consideration of fairness it has the discredit thrust upon it for every evil deed its more degenerate members do, and it would be consistent if the press and public opinion would thrust upon us the honor some of our race earn.
Deep down in our heart we know that after all this credit denied us is the most conclusive proof that we have earned it. It is the greatest encouragement to keep striving. If one and another Negro is stripped of the label of color, is relieved of the handicap which prejudice would put upon him, and his deeds appropriated to all mankind, so can others of us, and maybe all of us.
One drop of black blood is ample excuse for degeneracy when it is found in us, but jealously the Caucasian ascribes to his superior civilization any success which we have.
Mr. Bass and all others like him are an inspiration. We watch after them, and the further they seem to fade into the cosmopolitan civilization that makes up America, the stronger we yearn for them and the closer we try to keep pace with them. The higher they climb up the ladder of success, the more courage we have to try the heights. This race of ours, with no immediate ancestry, no nobility ages old, no traditions, has to make them. Some noble souls must venture far out in front and set the guide posts and light the beacons for the rest of us to follow. If a studious attempt is made to take them away from us, to deny us the credit for their deeds, what does it matter after all, so long as we know, and most of all, how can we be hurt if we dare to follow after them?
