ISRAEL'S VOICE GROWS DUMB Bruce Grit Asks How Can We Sing of Liberty amid Almost Universal Oppression Twenty-Second Year ISRAEL'S VOICE Bruce Grit Asks How Can Almost Univer Yonkers, N. Y., Feb., 1911. To the Statesman. I was present at a public meeting of colored citizens in a nearby city a few nights ago, and the chairman on opening the meeting asked everybody to rise and sing "America." Do you know that I almost gagged at the thought of singing that (to us) poetical lie? I couldn't sing it and maintain my self-respect and I didn't sing it. At the time "America" was written by good Dr. Smith, there was not quite as much prejudice toward Negroes as obtains at present. Negroes were not then citizens. Though earlier in the history of the republic they had exercised the franchise in five of the thirteent colonies, and had voted to send delegates to the convention which made "America" and the song bearing its name possible. When that song was written nearly four millions of Negroes were mere chattels—things—beasts of burden. They were not then comprehended in the beautiful sentiment which it breathes. They are not now. America is a white man's, not a black man's, song. And black men should not stultify their consciences and insult their intelligence by singing a lie until the barriers of caste have been broken down and they have been recognized Americans indeed and in truth. We would all of us like to sing "America" from our hearts and feel the inspiration which it must give to every white American who sings it or hears it sung. But how can we any more than could the children of Israel, asked to do so, sing a strange song in a strange land to those who had "wasted them and carried them away captives." The amor patriae of the Hebrew race in its exile was never more beautifully shown than in the instance described in Ps. 137. That "America" was not written for the Negro is proven by every Supreme court's decision against our race, every speech in and out of Congress, against the bugaboo of Negro DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 11, 1911 domination, every lynching of a Negro guilty or innocent, every editorial in the daily and weekly press which speciously undertakes to make the citizenship of the Negro subsidiary to the will of arbitrary minorities and to prove by a process of reasoning out of harmony with the rules of logic and common sense that while we are citizens according to the constitution, we are not as good citizens or the same kind of citizens as white men. No, "America" was not written for our edification or glorification. White Americans who boast of liberty in song or story, forget or ignore the facts of history. When the first colony of white men was planted in Virginia, 1607, the Negro was brought there 13 years afterwards, 16 women and four males. Only two of the original 13 colonies had laid their cornerstones before we were on the ground. Before Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maryland, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia had become colonies the Negro was here and doing his share toward building up and expanding the glory and greatness of this "sweet land of liberty." His brawn and muscle helped to give it commercial and industrial prestige then as it does now? Henry W. Grady, a few years before his death, speaking before the Middiesex Club of Boston at a banquet, boasted that the Negroes of his state—Georgia—in a given year had produced by their labor a thousand million of dollars' worth of cotton. But "America" isn't his "Psalm of Life." A Negro—Crispus Attucks—led the way to the Liberty which Dr. Smith so beautifully apostrophizes, and as Dr. Chas. S. Morris once declared "the Declaration of Independence was written in his blood." Yet he doesn't really enjoy liberty in the broad sense, he is a marked man. He has been conspicuous in every war of this republic for bravery as a soldier and State Historian & Naural History Bocler TATES ATURDAY, FEB. 11, 1911 sailor. He was with Warren at Bunker Hill, Perry on the Lakes, Jackson in New Orleans, Grant at Shiloh and the Wilderness, Sherman on his march to the sea, and he was very much in evidence with Roosevelt as he led "the way up the heights of San Juan." In 20 states and two territories, he possesses and pays taxes on property, real and personal, valued at $927,984,905, or more. The white man who grows red in the face singing "America" and saluting the flag, if he would put himself in the Negro's place, would see with as clear a vision as we do the rank hypocrisy and humbug of it all. Some months ago one of the granddaughters of the late Frederick Douglass, having to go South, and desiring to travel by water engaged passage on a certain steamship line plying beCrow passenger). I accompanied her to the steamer (she being a cripple) and located her state room, which was on the middle forward deck near the machinery, the company had piled three other passengers in this "state room," to get to which one had to walk very carefully between boxes and barrels of cargo and when there, to endure a variety of offensive smells emanating from foul water which stood in small pools on the floor of the deck. I wondered if that steamship company would have offered that pig pen of a state room to the daughter or granddaughter of any white American who had been as prominent and conspicuous in the life of his race and of this nation as had been Frederick Douglass? And I thought of that gilded lie "America." Every line of it is an insult to the manhood and self-respect of Negroes who are not afraid of their shadows. It is equally as insulting as Bishop Heber's hymn "From Greenland's Icy Mountains" to the alleged "heathen," for whose delectation it was written. Insults like these, whether in prose or poetry, won't make patriots of Negroes in "America," nor Christians of men and women mistakenly called "heathen" by "Christians" who possess a superabundance of ego, and a woeful lack of appreciation of the intelligence and capabilities; mental and moral of the so-called "heathen" in foreign lands. To paraphrase a famous saying of Fra Elbertus, who once said: "Morality is largely a question of geography." I would say heathenism ditto. The Negro who is somewhat familiar with the history of America is not going to compromise his self-respect and manhood by subscribing to a lie and that is what the national hymn is and ever will be, until this nation accords to the Negro equality of rights which is the first of all rights and which does not mean social contact, which so many white men pretend to fear. Let --- FIVE CENTS A COPY us have done with this pretense to patriotism in Negro public meetings and substitute "Old Hundred" in its place. JOHN EDWARD BRUCE. MISS G. MARSHBANKS, ASSOCIATE EDITOR OF COLORADO TIMES DESERVES CREDIT. Since the illness of M. B. Brooks, the editor and manager of the Colorado Times, which is extending now into the seventh week, we have noticed his paper appearing as prompt and interesting as usual, for which the associate editor, Miss G. Marshbanks, a young woman, born reared and almost completely educated in this state, must receive the credit. There are but few women of her age who possess her ability and all that is necessary to make a successful business women are common to her and especially noticeable is her attractive disposition and the smile she carries for everyone who may enter the office, even on the busiest days, which have been many since the editor's illness. There is probably no young lady more popular or widely known throughout the state than this small editoress, not only for her service to the paper, but because of some strong political articles and also her stories and poems have attracted attention because of their appearance in popular magazines. Mr. Brooks is favored by having such talent, education and culture in his office that has so far proven to be equal to pressing emergencies. DO YOU KNOW THIS? The Y. M. C. B. is presenting some of Denver's best talent at its Sunday afternoon meetings. Those who did not hear Mrs. Dr. Edwards on last Sunday at Zion certainly missed hearing one of the most interesting and inspiring papers read before that body. Now don't fail to near Mr. J. J. Manuel tomorrow at 4 p. m. Dr. C. D. De Frantz, A. Wayman Ward and Elbert Robinson are attending the State Y. M. C. A. convention at Ft. Collins. They will report to the Y. M. C. B. on Sunday, Feb. 19. Quite a crowd was out to hear the aviation debate at Literary last Tuesday night. Messrs. Rice and Skinner won over Messrs. Ward and Britton. Rev. Perkins of Antloch Baptist Church will fill the pulpit at Zlon Church Sunday morning and Rev. Ward of Shorter Church Sunday evening. SOURCE OF LIGHT TO THE MASSES How the comin Is Helped by Literary Organizations, AVOID SUPERFICIL THINGS, Philosophy of Man’s Moral Duty te Mankind and the Faculty Which Dif- ferentiates the Human Family From the Lower Order of Animals Outlined With Aesthetic Exactness. 5 By Mrs. M. C. LAWTON. A literary society is to a community what a tributary is to a body of water. It matters not how small or insignifti- cant ustream may appear, it bas a mission of its own to perform. It runs on to the babbling brook, which hurries to the rivulet, and that in turn hastens to the river, thence to the seas and oceans, which give out in proportion as they receive. The greatest thing in creation is man, and the greatest thing in man is mind. It is that faculty which dif- ferentiates the human family from the lower order of animals and gives it aan Lhe te “ : Bl JR yt got Pill ri MRS, M. C. LAWTON. the power to distinguish between right und. wrong, to choose between good and bad. Mun conies from the unknown to the known, from the deductive to the inductive process of reasoning. This no other creature under heaven can do. Since to man is given dominion over the rest of creation, animal, vege- table and mineral, not only is more required of him, but God demands more, the laws of the land demand more, und his own nature calls for more. Not only, has God given us these highly perceptive and receptive minds, but he expects us to give out in pro- portion us we take in, for he says, “Freely have ye received, freely give.” Wa way be averse to many of the et See THE STATESMAN—10 vatious duties devolving upon us as to our obligation to our fellow man, but somewhere in the human heart there is a chord which vibrates in sym- pathy with struggling humanity; some- where in the human bosom there is an impulse which beats in the interest of those striving not for supremacy, but for mere existence. So mad is our rush for things ma- terial and so eager are we to gain ascendency one over the other that we have lost sight of the surging masses in quest of knowledge and of the real benefit we may be to each other as we journey through this earth land. What is it that has given to the age in which we live this unsurpassed and unrivaled civilization? It is the fact that man has given to the world what God has given to-bim. What are those like fixed stars shin- ing in the firmament of man’s mind but ideas revealed to him by God. the author and finisher of every good and perfect gift? Thera, is nothing so helpful to the human family as contact—an exchange of ideas. This can be most effectively seen through such agencies as your literary society affords. A literary society must be made at- tractive and entertaining, must use as much of its home talent as is practi- cable. Use all who are ambitious along intellectual lines, and soon others will feel that they, too, might have some latent or dormant talent which needs but to be aroused or awakened. Many of us have received our first literary impulse from a debating con- test or a lyceum on a small scale. Don't wait for gigantic movements. Everything has had a beginning. The majestic oak which towers in the for- est was once a tiny acorn. Fine clothes will not make us the equal of other races. Magnificent homes will not accomplish it, nor will sumptuous tables, but a highly culti- vated mind or a well developed intel- lect will demand for us a place in the progress and advancement of this civ- flization. Society with its glitter and glare will make no history for us. Waste and decay are written on everything ma- terial. But thoughts and ideas will live as long as time lasts. it matters not in whose mind they originated.

The Grand is one of the best in that city, and the new Grand will be the best negro theater in the country. The Monogram is doing a fine business. Chicago theater managers are thinking of having a colored park out in South Chicago. ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC CLUB TO HAVE BASEBALL TEAM. The famous Rocky Mountain Athletic Club will probably have one of the fastest ball teams in the West this year. President Vic Walker and Manager Dave Strozer contemplate organizing a Western League similar to the newly-organized negro national league of the East and South. This will be a big help for the amateur ball player who wishes to play professional ball. Get together, boys. This is a chance to make money and a name for yourselves. JACK JOHNSON PASSES THROUGH DENVER. Jack Johnson, the king of the prize ring, passed through Denver Tuesday morning en route to the coast, where he will go into training for his coming fight with Al. Kaufman. Johnson was asked to stop off in Denver for a day but he said that he was detained in Chicago a day and that it was impossible for him to stop, but hoped to stop off here for a week when he returns home after his bout with Kaufman, which he says he will win inside of ten rounds. THE CARLTON TRIO OF NEW YORK. Three clever entertainers that are making good is that of the Carltons, Joe, Helen and Horace, who have been playing in New York for the last six months and were booked last week on the Keith & Proctor circuit for a run of 15 weeks. They play a banjo, guitar and mandolin and do a singing and dancing turn that is up to the times. They are also song composers and use their own songs exclusively. THE R. M. A. C.'S BIG POOL TOURNAMENT. One of the largest crowds ever witnessed at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club was last Friday night in attendance to the Dortch-Smart pool game, which was fast, clever and exciting. Arthur Dortch, the all-around-the-country pool player, defeated Mac Smart in a game of 150 points, Dortch running 150 balls to Smart's 116. Bud Thomas acted as the official gamekeeper. They will play another game in the near future. THE SOUTH FOR THE NEGRO ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. Of course it is a hard pull for all negro professional people and yet they seem to have that grit which means to them, never say die. Some five or six years ago there were three or four negro theaters throughout the united States, today there are more than 125, and they are mostly all in the South, which employs as many as 800 negro actors and actresses weekly. The salaries are not as big as the white houses but yet they pay enough to keep the actors and actresses in work, salaries ranging from $25 to $150 per week, so it is not so bad at THE STAGE that and the Chicago negro theaters have paid as much as $300 per week for a single person, but the Southern states work more on a whole than all the East, North and West put together, and it has been predicted that in the next 20 years the negro will be as far advanced in the theatrical world as the white man is today. Pull together and success for us is as certain as the sun rises and sets. EDWARD (BUD) THOMAS AT THE D. A. C. Bud Thomas, the official caretaker of the huge gymnasium of the Denver Athletic Club, was given the prominent position as official glove weigher during the big boxing tournament which started Monday night. Bud Thomas is the first negro to ever receive this position at the D. A. C., which makes some of the white fighters and athletes look sick when they have to come by Bud to get their gloves and trunks. THE NEW BON TON POOL PARLORS. Denver is fast coming to the front, that is for the negro. Something that has long been wished for is a nice colored pool room and Messrs. Flowers and Toson have opened the right place in the right vicinity, between Nineteenth and Twentieth on Arapahoe street. They also carry a neat line of soft drinks and are out with the welcome hand and the everlasting smile and we should all wish them much success, as every little business makes us look more progressive to the white man. ATLANTIC CITY TO HAVE A ROOF GARDEN. Another big amusement for the now famous summer resort of the East, Atlantic City, will be a big roof garden seating 800 people and will book only first-class negro acts. It is also rumored that some of the negro business men of that same city are contemplating a swell negro hotel with as many as 200 rooms. THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC QUARTETTE. The R. M. A. quartette will take a big part in the show that is to be given by the Colorado National Guards, Battery A. for the benefit of the Shriners at El Jebel Temple. There will be a big sham battle and several other features for entertaining Prof. Carson of the D. A. C. will be stage director.

One Samuel Langford, the clever negro American boxer who is over in dear old London, is making a large impression with the lords, dukes and earls by showing them how easy he could put their big heavyweight champions away. Hugh McIntosh, the Australian promoter, is liable to take Langford and Harry Lewis down in his country of Australia. Langford says three months in England and he will be a king. --- THE STATESMAN—12 DENVER PERSONALS. Mrs. Bessie Higgins, who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. Pullam, returned to Los Angeles last week. Miss N. Tyler returned to the city Monday after a visit in vansEville, Ind., Ne wOrleans. She also took in Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky points. The installation of the officers of Queen Elizabeth Temple of the S. M.

Henry Pinn is recovering from his attack of pneumonia. Mrs. Lillie Lewis is entertaining a visitor in the person of her sister Mrs. Amanda Locne. The decorations at Shorter Church which were the work of Undertaker Lawhorn, are winning much praise. James Banton and Edward Davis were hosts to eight of the Traffic club boys and their company on last Friday at spread. Taxicabs wound up an evening full of good things to eat and perfect enjoyment. The quarterly conference at Shorter Church on Monday disclosed that this second quarter was far ahead of the one last year, having brought in about $1,700. The interest and membership were well maintained. The church work has been given a thorough overhauling and new systems installed. As an illustration, the classes were reconstructed. The interest in the Sunday school has grown so that now the teaching force is taking a very much larger part in the proper conduct of the church by its direction of the children.

Mesdames Boalware and Hays very charmingly extended their hospitality Sunday at an elaborate five-course dinner. The cosy apartments on Clarkson street were beautifully decorated and the table appointments were perfect in every detail. The culinary ability of the hostesses was displayed in the delicious and bountiful lrepast. Mirth abounded and jollity reigned supreme. The bright smiles of the ladies and their witty speeches were responded to by the gallant gentlemen and time sped rapidly on. Those seated at the table were Dr. and Mrs. McClain, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Muse, Mr. and Mrs. A. Norris, Mesdames Smith, Munroe, Fife, Miss Eva Carter, Messrs. DD. Reese and Curtis Harris. Later in the evening the Y. M. C. B. boys called and were delightfully entertained by the hostesses. They were Garfield, Wilson, Albert Rabinson, Starks, Wayman and Joe Ward. George A.

They went forth to maintain the Union, when war's derce alarm swept over the land from north to south. They went forth to sit in the nation’s council when the giants of those days assembled to consecrate a new consti- tution binding the states one and in- separable forever. They have gone forth filling the highest judicial, legis- lative and executive functions. They have stood side by side with the best, noblest and greatest men that America has produced, and not the least among these, the bravest of the brave, the Most courageous of the courageous, the plainest of the plain, is William O'Connell Bradley, junior United States senator from the state of Ken- tucky.

POLITICAL CHAT IN WASHINGTON The Situation Reviewed by the Hon. W. D. Johnson, POLITICAL UNREST EVIDENT. Party Leaders Net Yet Recovered From Shock of Last November. The Great Battle, However, Is Just Ahead—Some Prospective Candidates For National Consideration In 1912. Washington.—In a recent interview Hon. W. D. Johnson of Kentucky had the following to say concerning the ad- visability of nominating Senator W. O. Bradley of Kentucky for vice prest- Gent at the Republican national con- Yention in 1912: Political unrest and nervousness are the order of the day. Political prophets are peering into the future in thelr attempts to discover what 1012 has in store. Political doc- tors are prescribing all manner of treatment in order to recover from the shock of Nov. 8, 1910. Political lead- ers are talking reorganization, realign- ment and readjustment of all party differences. Political independents, foot loose and party free, are simply awaiting to see whether or not the Democratic party has political sense enough to mend her hold or whether or not the Republican party will go back to the party platform and reli- giously stand upon every plank in the same. The battle is just ahead. Strategic plans are being mapped out and can- didates for 1912 are being weighed in the search for availability in merit, ability, party loyalty, service, person- ality and geographic fitness. Geo- graphic fitness is moving westward. It takes no prophetic utterance to say that William Howard Taft of Ohio from every viewpoint, with large abil- ity. great judicial stature, the keen in- sight and innate sagacity of the states- tin, will be the unanimous choice of the Republican party to succeed hira- self, not alone because of his exalted qualities and peculiar personal! fitness, hut also on account of the unwritten party custom of a presidential service ef two terms.

He has simply been the fifth wheel to the presidential wagon. put on with but little idea of any real use. but taken because the law made it niandatory. But in the years just pass- ed the importance of the vice presi- dent has grown, and candidates are now being required to be of pres!den- tial size and caliber. Following this trend of thought, sweeping westward and crossing the Allegheny mountains, we find ourselves in the state of Ken- tucky, a border state, not in the north nor in the south, but a state wherein northern justice and southern chivalry combine to make a great and liberty loving people. The mountains and uplands have al- ways produced men great in stature and mind They 4@raw in with their 1461 2900-2306 LARIMER 8T as WALTER EAST ~ Groceries, Vegetables, Fruits, Meats,- Delicatessen OUR SPECIALTIES FoR THE COMING WEEK.

Lighthouse Lodge of Elks Entertains "My Friend From Dixie" Company. Large Gathering at Musical and Reception Given For the Benefit of St. Augustine's P. E. Church. Atlantic City, N. J.—Among the many social functions given during the month of January none surpassed in splendor the musical and reception given by the Monitor club of St. Augustine's Protestant Episcopal church, of which the Rev. Mr. Deaver is the rector. The affair was held at Fitzgerald's auditorium and was conceded by all present to have been one of pleasure and social enjoyment. Much credit is due Mrs. Richard A. Walker, president of the Monitor club, for the able and businesslike manner in which she arranged and conducted the program. The musical was given for the benefit of the mortgage debt of A. MRS. RICHARD A. WALKER. the church; hence the auditorium was crowded with members and friends of the church and club. Rector Deaver and his parishioners are making an effort to clear the church of debt before entering upon plans for the celebration of the rector's tenth anniversary, which occurs on Wednesday, March 1. Music was furnished by the Cosmopolitan orchestra. A feature of the evening was the introduction by Mrs. Walker of the famous "shadow dance," in which a large number participated. Those who took part in the dance were guided by Charles Smith The Monitor club is one of the most THE STATESMAN----6 active auxillaries of the church, and whenever it gives an entertainment it is always well patronized. The snug sum which the club realized from the musicale will greatly aid the church in its efforts toward raising the $2,000 needed. Dixie Company Entertained by Elks. Another enjoyable social function was the entertainment given by Light House lodge No. 9, Order of Elks, T. M. T. TITUS BROWN. Titus Brown, exalted ruler, in honor of the "My Friend From Dixie" company. The members of the company enjoyed an evening of pleasure which the "Hello, Bill." boys are famous the country over for giving to their invited guests. The female members of the show were looked after by the ladies' auxiliary of the Elks, and the genial chairman of the house committee, Thomas Jackson, saw that every one present had full and plenty of the fine menu prepared for them. Among the members of the company present were Miss Mary Hursey, Miss Blanche Hursey, Miss Fannie May, Miss Ida Jones, Coleman L. Irwin, Roley Gibson, George Watts and Richard Shelton. Among the guests to meet the company were Mr. and Mrs. T. Titus Brown, Mr. and Mrs. William Coleman, Miss Julia Watts of Baltimore, Mrs. Ernest Washington, Mrs. John W.

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

Large Brooklyn Audience Captivated by Popular Choir of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ—Features of the Occasion and Facts About the Choirmaster’s Success. By N. BARNETT DODSON. For the past five years it bas been the custom of the choir of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn to sing a production from one of the great masters annually. So in keeping with the past, Professor P. Albert My- ers, choirmaster, with his choir of for- ty voices, sang G. Rossini’s “Stabat Mater” at the evening services on Sun day, Jan. 29, to an audience which more than filled the auditorium of the eburch. The composition consisted of nine parts. The introduction, “Lord Most Holy,” was sung by the full chorus of voices. The feature in the second part was taken by Mr. Charles Waters, the great tenor singer, whose voice on this occasion bordered on perfection. Miss Fannie M. Perkins and Mrs. HL. J.

Parson “T have louged for thy salvation,” the quartet feature, was sung with finish and precision by Misses F. M. Perkins and Florence Muse and Messrs.

The climax in strength and beauty of voice, effort and earnestness came in parts § and 9 as if by magic. Each participant seemed to rest his reputa tion in the finale.

The choir ranks among the best in Greater New York and under Profes- sor Myers bas more than once carried first honors in musical contests with other well trained church choirs. Pro fessor Myers attributes much of his success as choirmaster to the fact of having an organist and pianist of rare talent, a musical genius to the manner born, {n the person of Professor James F, R. Wilson. Two other facts in connection with Mr. Myers’ success as a musical lead- er are that the majority of the mem- bers of the choir have studied under him for considerably over a decade and that the good pastor, the Rev Dr. William M. Moss, is a lover of classical music and is in full sympathy with both choir and leader and neyer fails to give them due credit for the efforts put forth to give the church the best and most appropriate music for public worship. The services of the choir are gratis and always rendered willingly. To show its appreciation for the indispen sable work of the choir the eburch ap propriated the entire evening's collec- tion on this occasion as a donation Concord is rapidly becoming the mu sical center in the community not alone on account of the great efficiency of the choir, but because of the large aumber of young persons belonging to the church and Sunday school, which affords an abundant source. from which to select suitable material for musical purposes. The singing class taught by Mr. My ers on Wednesday evenings bas also attracted many persons of musical bent who wish to further improve their talent and taste for vocal and {n strumenta! music.

PARKS, of 5th and 12th Districts The intimate relationship existing between the growth and work of the African Methodist Episcopal church and the race, especially its moral development out here in the West, makes important the successor to Bishop Abraham Grant, whose death deprived the Fifth Episcopal district of its head. At the meeting of the Bishops' Council held recently in Mobile, Bishop H. B. Parks, who has had the Twelfth Episcopal district, was chosen to guide the Fifth also. He was also chosen as chairman of the connectional financial board and chairman of the General Conference commission.

The interstate commerce law has up to this time been interpreted to free the colored pasengers riding on through tickets from the "Jim Crow" laws of the individual states. Denver people will watch the case the closer because they know the man who is suing. of 5th and 12th Districts states, and greater than all the Episcopal districts of all the other bishops, in possibilities the greatest of any part of the world. Bishop Parks is himself a Western man, and by the loyalty of the West to him he therefore comes to the work well equipped for the large grasp of conditions that exist and possibilities as they are. Then too he has the mantle of Elijah. In his last illness he was the choice of Bishop Grant for the work he was leaving, and his election to permanent succession means that his qualification seems best to the Bench of Bishops. Then, too, this Western country is largely dependent upon missionary effort.

Some weeks ago there was recorded in this paper the organization of a club of women who were undertaking the purchase of ground and the erection of homes to be used by their families or by other tenants in the summer season. The larger hope they held was that in time they could own a number of nice summer cottages and advertise them largely to teachers and other summer visitors to Colorado, and thereby secure a nice income from them. Now it is a pleasure to record that they have taken the first step and are the owners of a handsome acreage in Platte canon bordering upon the North Platte river, and improved now with one cottage. The deal was concluded Tuesday. It is at a spot 31 miles from Denver, just this side of Dome Rock and along one of the most popular fishing streams in Colorado. The outlook is a fine one, sitting up on a knoll with the craggy rocks of the canon just in front of them. The ladies are making capital out of the fact that the plans thus far are all their own.

The Denver Afro-American Ministers 'Union at their last session adopted the following resolutions: The resolutions of a month or more ago concerning the conducting funerals in white undertaking establishments have been thoroughly reconsidered. The resolutions were adopted without a thorough knowledge of their contents. While the ministers wish to encourage all race enterprises and professional men in their fight fo reexistence, and as far as these enterprises and professional men can serve us in the highest capacity, we do not wish to go upon record of using any rash or coercive means of attaining these ends. We believe in Negro enterprises and take great pleasures in leading a campaign in educating our people to patronize these enterprises when goo dservice is given. We deplore the fact that so many of our people are able to defray the expense of a competent, and in many cases an elaborate funertl service go to white people for this service and leave the paupers to be cared MRS.

In consideration of the above, be it therefore.
