SOLDIER BOYS MAKE FINE SHOWING Twenty-Second Year SOLDIER MAKE A FEATURE of the stock show this week is the ```markdown ``` 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 --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 21, 1911 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. Troop G—Corporal Wilson, Private Somers. Troop H—Sergeant Howard, Corporal Caldwell, Privates McNaughton, Hartsell. Troop I—Corporal Coleman, Privates Morton and Washington. Troop K—Corporal Taylor, Private Holmes. Troop L—Privates Smith and Johnson. State Historian & N ural History Societ TATES ATURDAY, JAN. 21, 1911 Troop M—Corporals Cleveland and Butler. These men are under command of Lieutenant Holderness. Also there came to the show Privates Morley, Johnson and Hutton, who are with the officers. 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. N. A. McIlpin, manager. J. Seymour, secretary-treasurer. FIVE CENTS A COPY 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. trimmings; Mrs. Bismark R.

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." HEADQUARTER BUILDING PINN & 1221 19th STREET. 2346 LARIMER ST.

The whist team of Berry and Williams, the crack whist team of the D. A. C. Bellmen, badly defeated the R. M. A. A. team, Hodges and Mack Smart, by winning seven out of eight games played. They are in the best of trim and will play the best of them. LANGFORD BEATS ATWATER. Sam Langford is still putting the boys away. He and Fred Atwater, a big heavyweight Negro boxer, were to 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 human prize fighter. KID COTTON AND KLONDIKE. The fight between Cotton and Klondike, which took place in Pittsburg the other night, was stopped on account of Cotton's continual dirty way of fouling his man Klondike. 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 Garden theatre, Indianapolis, this week and are going big. THE SAVOY THEATRE, SPRINGFIELD, 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 following 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 championship 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 probably 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 championship 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 shouldn't make good as a catcher on one of the big league teams. KID BRUCE IN KANSAS CITY. The clever little lightning boxer of this city, Kid Bruce left last week for Kansas City, with the sporting editor of the News, Edward Day, GARY AND BAMBOO THE STAGE where they expect to do the real thing in the line of prize fighting. NEGRO MINSTRELS MOBBED BY WHITES. Benton, Ark., Jan. 14.—One Negro was killed and another injured, and also two women of the company hurt in a race riot following the performance 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 completely broken the company up. WEBBSTER & GOODMAN. Emmett Webbster, the piano player formerly with the Morgan Jackson orchestra, is in the musical business with Ben Goodman, violinist, who is manager of one of the big white orchestras 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 a 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 country 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. At one time a resident of this country but now residing in Paris, France. Billy McClain, the erstwhile Hoosier comedian and producer, is doing everything in his power to get more Negro talent abroad, and he says the field and water is fine.

Standing left to right—Walker Sitting left to right—Barnes 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. William Barnes, Officer of the Day. Robert Screvens, Officer of the Guard. Amos Elliston, Surgeon. Daniel Walker, Thomas Walker and J. F. Willis, Trustees. Appointed: J. D. Harkless, Sergeant Major.

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. A RIDER AGENT IN EACH TOWN and district to ride and exhibit a bicycle furnished by us.

Elected by Large Vote From Sixth District In Philadelphia. Afro-Americans in Pennsylvania, and especially the voters in the Sixth district of the Seventh ward in Philadelphia, are to be congratulated upon the unusually large vote which they polled at the recent election. From the Sixth district in Philadelphia Harry W. Bass was elected to the assembly by a large vote, due in the main to the fact that Afro-Americans were particularly careful in seeing to it that every man of the race of legal voting age registered. Mr. Bass is well known, capable and energetic. He is a native of Chester, Pa., and is noted for his sincerity and devotion to such measures as will tend to advance the interest of the race We bespeak for Mr. Bass a successful career in the rightful performance of duty in his new field. Elks Consolidate Under New Title. Under the new consolidation act Elk lodges among Afro-Americans will hereafter bear the title name of Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. The general officers of the order are; President, Benjamin F. Howard, Covington. Ky.; grand president board of trustees, James E. Mills, Norfolk, Va.; grand organizer, J. Frank Wheaton, New York; grand exalted ruler, Harry H. Pace, Memphis, Tenn.; grand secretary, Oscar D. Morris, Washington; grand assistant secretary, Sandy Dougtry, Portsmouth, Va.; grand treasurer and national receiver, E. Burton Ceruti, Brooklyn. 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 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.

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 most recent secret and fraternal organization among Afro-Americans in the west is an order known as the Sabans, with headquarters in South Bend, Ind. It requires fifty persons to constitute a "band" or subordinate lodge. Charles A. Howard is the general organizer for South Bend and vicinity. Mobile's Interesting Coming Event.

It is a well known fact that Afro-Americans are in the main intelligent laborers, and no class of laborers learn more rapidly, says the Cadiz (Ky.) Informer. They possess courage and bravery, and they only want an equal chance with other Americans to earn a livelihood. Race prejudice has denied them this. Today they stand confronted by an unreasonable racial prejudice in nearly every walk of life. Has Taft Deserted William H. Lewis? Since it seems a certainty that President Taft is not going to appoint the Hon. William H. Lewis as an assistant United States attorney general, as was announced previous to the election last November, there are other 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. Rose City Lodge's New Officers.

Carrie took place Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S. Contee. The ceremony was just at 8 p. m. By that time the friends of the contracting parties had gathered amid the bridal decorations of flowers and asparagus greens and bells. To the lofty strains of the wedding march from Lohengrin played by Harpist Devio, the wedding party descended the stairs and between aisles made with ribbons held by Ushers Carter and Stuart, proceeded to the parlor, where Father Brown tied the knot, amid a bower of owers and wedding bells. Mr. Contee, the uncle, gave the bride away; Miss Maud Carrie, the groom's sister, was bridesmaid; Mr. Wm. Slade was best man. The bride was beautiful in white broadcloth with appliques of pearl and battenburg trimmings; court train; bridal veil pinned with orange blossoms and a cluster of diamonds, the gift of the bridegroom. She carried a bouquet of white bridal roses and a shower of lilies of the valley. The bridesmaid wore pink mouselin de soie with appliques of white lace and carried pink carnations. The wedding gifts were many and costly. Rarely are so many testimonials of good will showered upon young people. A Morris chair from the D. A. C. and a silver chest from the Denver Club boys were among them. The hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Contee is famous. Every art was used to make this wedding auspicious. Mesdames Nannie Finley, Edward Grice, J. W. Bush and Frank Gaines assisted the hostess. Misses Annie Moore, Josephine Allyn, Marguerite Patterson and Marguerite Graves served punch. Mr. and Mrs. Carrie are at home temporarily at 2609 Lafayette street Visitors to the wedding from out of the city were Mesdames G. W. Gross, J. W.Macon, Chas.

HACKLEY, Prop. 2014 Champa St. PHONE CHAMPA 2275 wald said: 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 ideal. 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 thousands of years and, like yours, dates back to a time when they were known to be in slavery, has been persecuted and legislated against in all countries of the world since the beginning of time. In Russia today the Jews are persecuted in a way that you would not believe. It is not a question of color, but of religion. 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, representing what you might call the best type of citizenship, that do not admit Jews to membership, although one of them is called a club of university men. I do not want you to feel I have an ax to grind because I couldn't 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 position. I believe that the Jew has a good chance in this country and that if he behaves himself properly he will some day come into his own. The Castle Rescue home, Bryan, Tex., was founded in 1906 for the purpose of reclaiming fallen girls and giving them a new start in life. The home has about twelve acres of land and other property valued at $5,000, clear of debt. The managers of the institution 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. Bishop Alexander Walters, Rev. S. L. Carrothers and Messrs. Fergueson and O'Nell of the National Independent Political league recently held a conference in Congressman Champ Clark's committee room at the capitol in Washington. Mr. Clark gave the bishop and his committee a cordial greeting and listened attentively to their statement of the future policy of the league with reference to national politics. New Publication In the Interest of Interracial Union. The Hinds Publishing company in announcing its new publication, the Colonial Guardian, which is to be issued monthly, beginning with the January number, says in 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 contribute to its pages. E. St. Clair Hinds, editor and proprietor of the paper, is a practical printer by trade, having had considerable experience in the business before coming to the United States. NATION WIDE PHILANTHROPY.

Julius Rosenwald and N. W. Harris toward the fund which has already been started for the erection 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 stereopticon address on "The Worldwide Work of the Young Men's Christian Association" was delivered by L. Wilbur 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 announcing his gift, that in a movement of this kind one of the leaders should be a Jew. A race which has suffered centuries of persecution, he said, should show practical sympathy for a people but recently released from actual slavery 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. C. A. is the organization best fitted to fight the evils that exist among the colored people themselves, for the Y. M. C. A. not only provides its members with healthy sports and amusements, but affords them opportunities for moral and religious advancement. Although the two offers are equal in their amounts, they differ to some extent 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 is 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 attempt to raise $150,000. Fifty thousand 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. In addressing the meeting, at which were present upward of 500 representative afro Americans, Mr. Rosen- THE STATESMAN—6 Castle Rescue Home For Girls. Conference With Champ Clark.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons soorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE. Miss M. COWDEN.

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 STATESMAN-8 ntesman Central man Colorado. three months ... $ .50 and class mailmatter. 4 Central ANNUAL R The good work church in the last the detailed report MS. ths .....$1.00 Three months .. $ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. 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? --- --- TERMS.
