RESULTS THUS FAR ARE LACKING One Position the Sum Total of Benefit to the Race from the Activities of Democrats and Disgruntled Republicans. The Loss is Heavy. Twenty-Second Year RESULTS THUS ARE One Position the Sum To from the Activities gruntled Republican Judged by their actions up to date, nearly four months since election, the Democratic county and state officials are going to ignore colored citizens. We realize that it is easy to criticize, and would not do so now, if the colored supporters of these officials were outspoken for proper recognition of the race. We feel that fault finding, even when based upon facts, is of little worth. But since the spoil of office was the sole ground of opposition of Democrats and disgruntled Republicans to the regular Republican ticket, and for their support of John Shafroth, Hamilton Armstrong and their associates, they should be willing to be measured by their own half bushel. We are amazed at their silence now. Every promise explicit and implied, has been disregarded, except a half janitorship given by Secretary of State Pierce. Not a single county position. Not a single appointee in the Legislature where there are always several. Leadership in politics has responsibilities. Colored supporters of Democracy cannot assail Republicans, saying they give too few offices to the race, and fail to condemn their own party when it gives none. No political favors, no sums of money, should tie their hands and close their mouths so that they cannot fight for the race. The steady stream of appointments in county offices, sofne even being Republicans rewarded for their treachery to their party, should have included some colored Democrats. If the scramble for office has been so bitter that they have mutually made each other impossible of appointment, they should realize that the race has suffered. Their lack of foresight, their greediness, or whatever may have guided their conduct, is no excuse. Results talk. Voters who will hear the siren song of these same people two years from now should bear in mind that at this time Democ ```markdown ``` Photo History & Natural History Society DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 25, 1911 racy is having its one best opportunity to show its attitude toward Negroes. When it was out of office it coul. throw rocks and sometimes made fair hits, we admit. Now it must do its stunt and have that measured up beside the work of Republicans. Where Republicans had four representative places in the county when they had full control, Democrots have none. Where Republicans had a bona fide messenger and a bona fide clerk when they controlled the state, several places in the Legislature, and all except one of the janitorships under the board of capitol managers. Democrats have one watchman, one door man, one other place, which we say on the authority of Democrats themselves, is more janitor than anything else. It must be borne in mind that Mayor Speer is the city's first charter mayor. For the first time power rests in one man's hands to guide all departments of the city. Yet even he has permitted for one cause and another the gradual displacement of the many colored men formerly holding office in the city, till they now are hardly one-half their former number. Worst of all the city has played petty politics, appointing men to the police force with the expectation they would have power to bring precincts into line for Democracy, and letting them go in a few weeks. These are the results of Democracy's bid for colored votes so far as place are concerned. Watch them, watch their legislative program and judge for yourself what is best for the future.

TATESI ATURDAY, FEB. 25, 1911 CHOIR TO RENDER MAGNIFICENT ORATORIO. Zion Baptist choir will present the "Creation" on the evening of March 9th. This Oratorio, distinguished as it is by the strong character of its choruses, and the dramatic intesity of its solos, bearing as it does messages of divine imprint, and conforming in every way to the dignity and impressiveness of everything pertaining to God in His creation of the world, should prove one of the finest music offerings ever given to our people in Denver, and should be listened to with deepest feelings and reverence. The soloists were selected with a view of their fitness for the various parts which they take. A rendition on the part of Mr. Clark shows that he has studied both words and music until he is absolutely permeated with the spirit. Filled with high and brilliant imagination, as he is, and singing with the earnestness and conviction of tone that he does, he makes us believe. It is something of awe one feels as he imagines the affrighted spirits of hell sinking into the deep abyss. Nothing is so charming in a singer as repose. In fact it is the most unfailing test of beauty in rendition. In a manner sedate and with perfect repose as is characteristic of both Messrs. Waller and Chapman and with voices smooth and flowing they sing their part in a way most satisfying. Mesdames Pinn, Turner and Motley will add much to the occasion with their voices in solo work. The beauty and full force of which is brought out in the sweeping climaxes and brilliant obligatos. Mrs. Jones always meets with an immediate cordial reception with the people. As Raphael her songs are the most intrinsically beautiful, the most intensely dramatic, the most finely finished and perfectly descriptive from beginning to end to be found in the composition. She tells through her songs of the grandeur of the vast uproaring heights of how at His command the mountains emerged, the boisterous seas were uplifted, of how the earth brought forth living creatures, cattle and creeping things. She concludes with the lament that the work was not complete. There wanted yet that wondrous being, with power to admire God's wonders and with heart and voice to praise Him—Man. The singing of Mr. Gatewood as Ariel goes deeper than words. In his quiet, pleasing manner he tells of the soft beams of the silver moon, and vividly pictures to his hearers the first rising of the sun. The woman Eve, fair and --- FIVE CENTS A COPY graceful; the man Adam, in the image of his God. Hardly a more fitting selection could have been made than that of the characters of Adam and Eve as represented by Dr. W. A. Jones and Miss Eva Carter. Overwhelmed with the sight of this great, wonderful world, they first expressed the thanks that swell their grateful hearts in praise of God, then implore the bright sun, the starry hosts, the mighty elements, the birds, yea, all creatures, to extol Him. The audience can form each for himself or herself an imaginative picture. Here in the garden crowned with the wealth of verdure, hung with copious fruits, draped in leafy arches, fragrant with ordorous flowers, we conceive the picture—two souls, beautiful and pure. Eve in the joyous freshness of the new world, sings to her order in all the sweetness and tenderness of her heart, while Adam with the rapturous joy of love and life just begun in so impressive a manner implores her as the partner of his life to follow him, that he cannot but carry the sentiment of the words into the minds of his hearers. HELP FOR THE PREACHERS HOME. An appeal is being sent out by Rev. J. W. Braxton, pastor of the A. M. E. Church of Colorado Springs, for the National Preachers' Home for Aged and Infirm Ministers of that denomination. After detailing the history of the home, which is indirectly the gift of Gen. Palmer, a full report of which has appeared before in this paper, he relates the obligations the church has assumed in maintaining this home and asks that every minister assist in raising funds for this cause. NEW LIEUTENANT AT NO. THREE A change has been made at Engine House No. 3. Lieutenant McGruder, who has been connected with the company for 13 years, has severed his connection with it and his place from present indications will be filled by Thomas Martin. Lieutenant Martin is himself a veteran, having been a member of the company 10 years. Before assuming the duties of the office Mr. Martin was examined as to his qualifications and made good. Engine No. 3 has long been the pride of the Five Points district, and the change will find the hearts of Denver no less than the neighborhood confident in its ability to go ahead setting a high standard of efficiency. No new appointment has been made at pipeman, but one is expected soon. George Redfield is temporarily filling the place. that end, that they shall be superseded by regulations made by the congress of the United States. My proposition, further, is that without that power accompanying this change in the method of the election of senators, if the change be made, the government of the United States has surrendered the power for its own preservation and protection. Again did Senator Root put the Georgia senator to flight when he laconically answered another question propounded by Mr. Bacon. The question of Mr. Bacon and Mr. Root's reply follow: Mr. Bacon—Mr. President, do I understand the senator from New York to mean that if the states have now upon their statute books laws which regulate the suffrage in those states, such as the senator speaks of as "the grandfather clause," though that is simply a term generic in its character which relates to a general class of legislation—does the senator mean that, with the laws now upon the statute books of the several southern states, if the proposed amendment of the senator from Utah [Mr. Sutherland] should be adopted and we should pass the joint resolution to amend the constitution and it should be ratified by three-fourths of the states, it would then be within the power of congress, if it conceived that these grandfather clauses, as they are called, all the body of laws with reference to the regulations and limitations of the suffrage in the southern states—if congress should conceive that they were unconstitutional—does the senator mean that in his opinion congress would have the power under the amendment of the senator from Utah to annul those provisions and to make federal laws to control the election of senators in such way as to insure the right to vote to all persons thought by congress to be entitled to vote? Mr. Root—Without the slightest doubt One of the afternoon papers stated that Mr. Root's reply was "so direct, so unequivocal, that Mr. Bacon was silent for a minute." When Mr. Bacon recovered he said: "Well, Mr. President, it is well that we are given this notice of what the senator does mean and of what the Sutherland amendment means." "I meant to put you on notice, and I mean to put the whole country on notice, if my words are able to do so." Mr. Root's speech has had the effect of lining up the colored men either against the Borah resolution or putting them on record as being pronouncedly in favor of the Sutherland amendment. This amendment proposes "to carry over to the new body of electors." as Senator Root expressed it, the same control which the present constitution attaches to the existing power of electors. A prominent colored business man and politician who comes from one of the middle western states, where the Negrees hold the balance of power, was heard to express his high approval of Senator Root's position. "The colored voters of the middle west," he said, "should at once take up the question in earnest and petition their senators and representatives to stand by the Sutherland amendment." A remarkable feature of the debate was the attitude taken by Senators Borah and Beveridge as to the Sutherland amendment. Both of these gentlemen expressed regret that the question of Negro suffrage should be brought into the debate. Both of them carefully avoided expressing themselves on the Sutherland amendment. Mr. Beveridge said: "I regret that it was ever brought into the case. I am not without sympathy with the senator's proposition, though I do not believe that I am prepared to go as far as to say that I would be willing to preserve that power and lose the main thing." Mr. Borah showed evident dissatisfaction over the present turn of the debate when he said, "The question of lynching and the question of peonage can have no possible relation with this THE STATESMAN-10 subject in any way, shape or form, and every one understands precisely why they were brought into this debate." Both Senator Beveridge and Senator Borah are from states with a large number of colored voters. The larger questions connected with the election of senators by the people instead of the legislatures have been opened by Senator Root, and it is very evident that the rights of the colored man to participate in elections in the future will not be very bright if congress should surrender its power to regulate and supervise those elections. Athletic Carnival In Atlantic City. At the big athletic carnival held at Young's pier. Atlantic City, recently there were thirty events, in which 200 persons took part. Among the participants were many high school boys who contested for the valuable prizes offered. Ralph Deaver, the well known sprinter, came in second in the one mile relay race. Physicians Taking Time by Forelock. The next annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Hampton, Va., in August. Already plans are being perfected for the various sessions to be held, the outline of the program and the method of providing for the delegates and visitors. RACE CONFERENCE NOTES. Success of State Fair Associations Rev. Richard Carroll's Busy Life. The stockholders of the Colored State Fair association of South Carolina and the members of the Batesburg (S. C.) Fair association held an interesting and profitable joint meeting in Orangeburg during the race conference in that city, which came to a successful close on Jan. 28. The stockholders of the Batesburg Fair association are very much pleased at the businesslike manner in which the managers of the organization have conducted affairs. A dividend of 20 per cent was declared for the fiscal year. The systematic manner in which the conference was arranged gave all an opportunity to participate in the five days' program. Among the special features were state fair day, farmers and mechanics' day, woman's and education day. Specimens of women's handiwork were shown and farm products exhibited, and there were many splendid drawings and pen and ink sketches presented by persons engaged in educational work. Among the distinguished speakers on the program were the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker, Mayor R. R. Wright, Bishop J. W. Hood, Judge Woods and Governor Cole L. Blease. The moving spirit in state fair work and in bringing about the success of the race conference was the Rev. Richard Carroll of Columbia, S. C. He is a born organizer and leader of men. "No plan he has laid nor meeting he has called has come to utter failure. The manner in which he goes at things is rather strange at times and would put a man of short patience out of business, but in the end it serves the purpose to the full satisfaction of all concerned. Like Napoleon, he seems to see no Alps. The management of an orphan home, the publishing of a great newspaper, presiding over three successive and successful race conferences, organizing two fair associations and carrying out four successful fairs, are all living proofs of his ability to "bring things to pass." --- WHETHER CUSTOM MA NOBBY IN STYLE A AT T QUALITY CL 1015 SIXTEENTH ST.

It would be a cruel blow if the story should prove untrue, but nevertheless we are all hopeful. At the last meeting of the Fire and Police Board it was rumored that the City and County of Denver would be allowed to open up the game of boxing, limiting the bouts to ten rounds, the same as in Missouri, where that law was passed some few days ago. Well, we can only wait and hope that this is a true rumor, for if so, we are going to be able to make three or four colored champions for the ring; and all aspirants should not hesitate, but start their training at the R. M. A. Club, where they have one of the best gymnasiums in the city. THE VALUE OF THE CRITIC PRESS AGENT TO THE ACTOR OR ACTRESS. Why is it that the road is so hard for the ambitious actor or actress who think, when in their ameteur days that they are as great as the far-famed old heads who had traveled the same road ahead of them some ten, fifteen or twenty years, and then were considered no more than an amateur. First, because they lacked knowledge of the press agent, the man who can make you or break you, the man who can, with just a few words of print ruin the greatest of chances for the uprising amateur, and without the assistance of a critic or press agent it would be folly for the coming actor or actress to proceed. Take the case of Bert Williams and partner the late deceased George Walker. When they first started out they had there ups and downs until they ran across a live press agent on one of the San Francisco papers. They were playing little theaters, and doing odd stunts getting very little money. But they happened upon this agent, showed him what they could do. He writes them up in great style and ever since they have been famous. And many others gained fame through the agent. And the amateur must never conceive the idea that he or she can go successfully along and please the people without the assistance of the agent and critic, as they are far more able to see the good and bad points in you, than you are able to do yourselves. A very clever actor is that of Mr. Tom Lemonier, who is playing a large run at the Hacket Theater of New York with the Over Night Co. The act is a hit. IN MEMORIAM, J. ED GREEN, DIED FEB.19,1910. J. Ed Green's death is especially mentionable at this period of a variated crisis in the Negro profession. Mr. Green died one year ago last Sunday, Feb. 19, 1910, and the memorial of this occasion is that he is still missed, and was much beloved by all who knew him personally and as a brilliant stage producer. He was called the black Belasco of the Negro race. May he still rest in peace and happiness. KID COTTON WILL STOP FIGHTING. After a few months before the public as a prize fighter, George (Kid) Cotton will retire from the ring. Cotton states that it is impossible for him to make good as a fighter, as he has TOM LEMONIER THE STAGE lost more fights than he has won, and will quit and go into the theater business where there will be no hard punches and dreamy naps. A. G. BROOKS, VENTRLIOQUIST. One of America's clever Negro ventriloquists is that of Mr. A. G. Brooks, who is almost as good as the world beater, Mr. Bernard, the far-famed white ventriloquist. Brooks is playing Philadelphia Crescent Theater and drawing big houses. JACK JOHNSON WILL FIGHT LANGFORD FOR $30,000 Jack Johnson made the quick statement the other day after Langford and Lang fight that he would fight Langford for a purse of thirty thousand dollars anywhere in the world, and it looks as if they will at last get together as Sam can ever get plenty of backing. The peerless Negro comedian Bert Wiltiam, star of the big white musical company, Follies 1911, is still in Boston at the Tremont Theater, where he's packing them in nightly. The Boston critics say that Williams is a wonder. Mrs. Wiggins and the cleaning up buck dancing team of Wiggins & Eves, better known as the two Inkie Dinkie Buddies, are now playing with the Sunny Dix Minstrels and the in a class by themselves. Their singing is clever and dancing can't be beat. LANGFORD BEATS LANG. Sam Langford, the American Negro prize fighter, has done something that no other Negro has ever done abroad, and that is to win the hearts of all the British. Langford beat Bill Lang, the Australian heavyweight in such a manner last Tuesday night in London that they are all willing to back him with Jack Johnson any time they may get together. Langford won his fight on a foul, after he had beat Lang down to a dime knocking him down six times for the counts of nine, before the sixth round, and he had Lang in such a bad way that Lang fouled him, not being able to prevent the blow.

OPENING OF THE NEW SAVOY THEATER, MEMPHIS, TENN. The Savoy Theater, which was burned down New Year's night, is now rebuilt and looking finer than ever, it is said to be one of the swellest Negro theaters in the South. The people of the city are ones who appreciate a good amusement resort, and the manager was quick to get wise and have a new house built, and this one being much finer than the first one and is playing better and bigger acts.

DORTCH & NICOLS Carmile Nicols, the fast and sturdy little pool player of Denver, has been matched to meet Arthur Dortch, who defeated Mack Smart a fe wweeks ago at the Club. Nicols is willing to play Dortch for a side bet of $150, and will put up his money as soon as the date can be arranged. Of course he will have to do his best, and thinks he can beat Dortch, the wonder. But Dortch says things look awful easy for him, and money was no object. Wlli give date next week. NEGRO WRESTLER Iler Vincent, the greatest Negro wrestler in the world, is doing a whirl wind business around the eastern cities. He is working in Chicago at present, and is winning everything he comes in contact with. He wrestled at the Pekin Theater last week and Manager Motts offered anybody $50 who could stand up with Vincent for five minutes. ALL THE RAG OF DENVER HEAR THEM PLAY!

Her death is a sad blow to her sister, Mrs. Robinson of Aspen, who a second time has been called to this city to lay away a sister. She has been in attendance upon Mrs. Conley at the hospital ever since the operation. Mrs. Conley has made Denver her home for years. Her circle of friends was large and she is sincerely mourned. James Easter, as a result of appendicitis, passed away at the county hospital Sunday and was buried Tuesday from the family home on Downing St. with Undertaker Lawhorn in charge. He leaves parents and sisters behind, with relatives more distantly related. The interment was at Fairmount. His mother is hardly consolable, and the sudden death has caused much grief to all.

Ward of Shorter's preached a soul-stirring sermon last Sunday afternoon to an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. We wish to sincerely thank our sister churches for their timely assistance in helping us by their presence and finance. Rev. Cabbell, the district superintendent, left before the service for Colorado Springs, where he goes to hold the fourth quarterly conference for the People's M. E. church. The Cartoon entertainment at Shorter's and Scott's promises to be something rare and out of the ordinary. Do not forget the date Thursday, March 2nd. The admission is very reasonable and everybody ought to attend. Rev. Ragatz is a skilled artist along this special line. The program will be interspersed with music by our local talent. Mrs. Emma Anderson has been appointed superintendent of the Junior League. Parents are requested to send their little ones to the church at 3 p. m. The Ladies' Aid Society made 100 invitation bags last Thursday afternoon which were distributed Sunday afternoon. You are urgently and cordially invited to attend this novel entertainment Feb. 28. Refreshments will be served free for the admission, which is a penny for every year you have been married and ten pennies for all single persons. The sermon topics for Sunday are: "Christ's Commission to His Church," in the morning, and at night, "What of the Night?" March 5th will be the last Sunday before Conference. We urge our friends to attend these services and give us one strong lift. Mrs. P. E. Campbell and daughter Waunita are on the sick list. Sunday will be Benevolence day. A handsome souvenir will be given to each contributor. We urge our members and friends to come to our rescue at this time. Mesdames Caldwell and Wallace and Miss E. A. Antony will read papers Sunday evening at the League service. Mr. Cornelius Rice will sing a solo. Mrs. Suggs will read a paper also. Since Mrs. Ada Castry, by the force of circumstances, could not be with us for the past four or five weeks we have had to depend upon volunteer service. She is the energetic president. The Ladies' Aid Society is planning for their spring fair which promises to be greater than ever. Mr. C. J. Collier, the newly appointed district steward, will soon move into his new residence which is being finished near Elitch's Gardens. Mr. Collier is one of the substantial members of Scott's. Mr. T. S. Clinkscale, the recording steward, rendered a very accurate account of his stewardship last Saturday evening at the quarterly conference, and was highly complimented for his faithfulness in keeping the church's account with the pastor.

The Building Laborers' Union No.1 of Denver who are building the hall on Arapahoe, near Twenty-second street, have had many obstacles and legal complications which have prevented them from completing their handsome building for some time. They were unable to straighten out the matters until they secured the services of Lawyer Townsend, who has after several weeks' work been able to get their affairs in such shape as to get the property back into the name of the union and the union is now ready and prepared to complete the building. Mr. Townsend has been made the attorney for the union. The nearness to completion of this hall is gratifying and it will be a happy day for Denver when its spacious rooms are thrown open to public inspection. President Spencer of the union and Chairman of Trustees Harris are to be congratulated.

Denver, Colo HAWAII'S NEW COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL REVENUE Dec/ares His Intention to Give Good Account of Stewardship. "I regard the Negro officeholder as a man loaded down with responsibilities of a most serious kind," said the Hon. Charles A. Cottrill, the new collector of internal revenue for the district of Hawaii, at a reception tendered him by Hon. W. H. Clifford in Washington recently. In the course of his speech Mr. Cottrill called upon those present to be true to race interests. "Manhood and race interests," he said, "demand that we acquit ourselves with credit in the positions we are called to fill. This we must do in order that the other members of the race who come after us may have an easier time." Mr. Cottrill paid a tribute to Ohio's great statesmen, calling by name President Taft and for Senator Foraker. Speaking further, Cottrill declared his intention to perform his duties faithfully the same in faroff Hawaii as he would here at home. The speaker made a most favorable impression upon his hearers and sustained in this, his first Washington speech, his well known reputation as an eloquent speaker. Mr. Clifford, who is a former member of the Ohio legislature, who was the host, had a number of prominent colored men present to meet Mr. Cottrill. Rev. I. N. Ross, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, who knew Mr. Cottrill during the days when the reverend gentleman was pastoring in Ohio, spoke of Mr. Cottrill in the highest terms. Judge R. H. Terrell of the municipal court on behalf of the citizens of the District of Columbia delivered a happy and felicitous speech of welcome to the guest of honor. A delightful luncheon, consisting of oyster patties, chicken salad, French peas and punch, was served. Those present besides the guest of honor were: Major Arthur Brooks. M. HON. CHARLES A. COTTRILL.

Philadelphia.—One of the most interesting entertainments that have been given in Philadelphia for some time among Afro-Americans was the one recently given by the Philadelphia Business Clerks' association. Preceding the reception a drama in three acts was presented, entitled "A Russian Romance." Among the leading promoters of the affair were Mrs. Lela Walker Bryant, Miss Lillian M. Wright, the efficient cashier of the A.M. E. Book Concern; Miss Anna Hunter, stenographer for Professor R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, and Miss Cora E. Brown. private secretary to Bishop J. S. Caldwell of the A. M. E. Zion church. The testimonial reception recently given for Miss Caroline R. Le Count at the Cherry Memorial Baptist church in recognition of forty-six years of teaching in the public schools of the city was a brilliant success. Miss Lucretia C. Miller has resigned her position as one of the teachers in the public schools. She was elected a teacher in the Ohio Street public school, afterward called the Octavius V. Catto school, in April, 1870, being in continuous service until her resignation in January. Miss Miller is of old Philadelphia stock, her parents being Philadelphians as well as her grand parents. She is the niece of Henrietta S. Dutente, said to have been the first female undertaker in the United States. Miss Trijetta Johnson, 1621 Pine street, entertained at dinner recently in honor of Miss Lillian M. Wright of Savannah, Ga. Miss Wright is the daughter of Major R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State college. The evening was spent in playing various games, after which the guests were ushered into the dining room, where an elaborate menu was served. B. F. Lee, field secretary of the Armstrong Association of Philadelphia, has returned to the city after a four days' stay at Hampton, Va., visiting Hampton institute, where he went to make some investigations relative to the development of the trades department of that institution.

Speaking at a largely attended meeting of the Charity Organization society in New York recently, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington took emphatic exception to the charge made by some that colored people were often found to be unreliable in many instances when intrusted with large responsibilities where skill is required in domestic service. Mrs. Terrell said: "While there may be occasional truth in the charge of unreliability and lack of skill, in the majority of cases colored people are unable to secure employment because of the cruel prejudice against them in the United States. To stem this tide of popular disfavor is the desire of every colored woman who has the interest of her race at heart. "Against lynching, the convict lease system, jimcrow cars and all other barbarities which degrade and dishearten my race we intend to agitate with such force of logic and intensity of soul that those who handicap and oppress us will either be converted to righteousness and justice or be ashamed to violate openly and flagrantly both the fundamental principles upon which this government was founded and the Golden Rule." CONSTITUTION SUPERIOR TO STATE ELECTION LAWS. Colored Voters of Oklahoma Continue Their Fight For Civil Rights. According to reports from Guthrie, Okla., federal indictments have recently been returned against Duke W. Jeffries, a Democrat, and Willard Smith, a Republican, charging them with offenses against the franchise and against the civil rights of colored men. This action is the result of instructions to the grand jury in which attention was called to the fact that the power of the national constitution is greater than that of any state election law. The Oklahoma law provides that election officials may compel colored voters to read and write a section of the constitution. Officials are the judges of educational qualifications. Colored men in many instances were not permitted to try to qualify, it is said, and many of those who did were not allowed to vote at recent elections. Program of Sunday School Congress. Secretary Henry A. Boyd has announced eighteen subjects from which selections may be made for essays, speeches and for general discussion at the great Sunday school congress which will probably be held in Meridian. Miss., from July 7 to 12, inclusive. Information concerning the work of the congress and a list of the subjects for the program may be had by writing to Mr. Boyd at 523 Second avenue. North Nashville. Tenn., at an early date. Information For Governor Colquitt. There are approximately 800,000 colored people in Texas, says the Dailas (Tex.) Express. Governor Colquitt expects them to recognize him as their chief state officer. In passing around the blessings of office let some dropings fall on us. THE STATESMAN----6 PARDON FOR WILLIAM E. HILL Governor Foss Uses Executive Power In Interest of Humanity. Through the continuous efforts of many loyal friends who have petitioned several former governors of Massachusetts for his release from prison, William E. Hill has been pardoned by his excellency Governor Eugene N. Foss. Hill is an Afro-American. He was convicted of murder forty-one years ago and sentenced to life imprisonment. Governor Foss is a Democrat, but he has done what two or more Republican governors of the state refused to do. After hearing the facts in the case and being convinced that his actions would meet the approval of all fair minded persons the governor used his official power in the interest of justice and humanity. Among those who have taken an active part in bringing about Mr. Hill's release within the past two years are Mrs. W. M. Trotter, wife of the editor of the Boston Guardian; Mrs. John A. Shaw, Mrs. Adams and Mrs. West. RELIGIOUS WORKERS MEET. Sessions of Woman's Mite Missionary Society Largely Attended.

Blease to the governorship of South Carolina, the Southern Ploughman says, "The Negro has certainly contributed much toward making him governor of South Carolina, and he has used the Negro well." Editor Carroll should give more light on the subject. Tell the public, Brother Carroll, what you particularly mean in this case by using the Negro well. Tell us, Brother Carroll, just what you mean. --- The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

SAN FRANCISCO 4 years ago my hair was only a 4 years ago my hair just covered finger-length, and my temples my shoulders. were bald half way up my head. 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.

By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.—The recent speech of Senator Elihu Root of New York in the senate of the United States is be- ing discussed on all sides by leading colored men of Washington and by otber leading colored men who bave been here Intely. Mr. Root, as is well known, Is one of the greatest lawyers in the senate. By some be is con sidered the greatest not only in the senate, but in this country, and bis remarks on the vital and farreaching question of Negro suffrage are of the deepest significance Mr. Root addressed the senate iu opposition to the resolution offered by Mr. Borah of Idaho which provides for the election of senators by the people of the several states Instead of thelr election by the legislatures of the states. What brought up the discus. sion of the suffrage of black men was that the Borah resolution takes from congress the right {9 any way to have any voice In the election of senators by omitting that clause of the fourth section of the first article of the con stitution which reads, * * * “But con- Tess may‘at any time by law make or alter such regulations,” ete. Mr. Root took the strong position that congress should not surrender its right to Interfere in the matter and strengthened bis position by pointing out instances when it may become necessary for congress to act. Mr. Root said in part: “It is true, Mr. President. ¢hat the fourteenth SENATOR 6LIND X001 and fifteenth amendments will still re- malo ip the constitution, but so far as those amendments affect the exercise THE STATESMAN—7 of the power of the states or of the individual voters in the states to con- stitute a member of this body the second part of this resolution would rob the government of the United States of the power to make those preliminary dispositions regarding elec- tions necessary for the enforcement of the amendments.” He administered a sarcastic rebuke to Senator Percy of Mississippi, who had sald that the “extension of the Power of the federal government as provided by the Sutherland amend- Ment is a price greater than the south es willing to pay for the election of ‘Senators by the direct vote of the peo- ple.” by telling him that “the time bas not yet come when the people of this nation are entering the market place to buy from them or from any of them the right to preserve and protect by the exercise of our own national power the government of the United States under its constitution.” But {t was in answer to a question by Senator Bacon of Georgia that Sen ator Root spoke with such certainty and much emphasis. Mr. Bacon want ed to know what were the things to which Mr. Root alluded in a part of his speech when he said that there were things happening in the southern States which the southern states ought net to permit and which, If the south erp states do permit, the national cov ernment should correct and prohibit Mr. Root gave the answer to Mr. Ba- con in unmistakable language. He said: Mr. President, the senator from Georgia Will recall that I was discussing the sur- render by the government of the United States of the power necessary effectively to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Those amendments were designed to give to the black men of the south protection through the exercise of the power that rests in suffrage. The Power <f self protection was one of the Rreat moving considerations of the four. teenth and fifteenth amendments. Sir, Aere have been In the south—and “my rescarke are Wmited to the south, be- cause *\ is there that the questions arise under the fourteenth and fifteenth amend- ments, and for-no other reason, and IT ac companied {t, the senator will remem- ber, by a frank admission that there are many things done In the north also which call for the reservation of the same power on the part of the national government— there have been In the south lynchings which I am sure the senator from Georgia deplores as much as I do; there has been Deonage. which I am sure he deslores equally with myself; there have been te- troduced into the constitutions of the southern states clauses which are grouped under the general description of “grand- father clauses” and which are apparently adapted to limit the operation of the four- teenth and fifteenth amendments. ~ Mr. President, the people of the United States are willing apparently to hold their hands and to give godspeed to the people of the south in working out the great and dificult problem that is before them: but, sir, if it should come into the mind of the people of the United States that the protection of the blacks, which was de- signed in these amendments, is not being secured—Iif it should come that the people of the United States are convinced that Injustice and oppression are being visited upon them, then the great reserve power of the national government to enforce in full the fourteenth and fifteenth amend- ments will be exercised and ought to be exercised. So long as the people of the fouth are working out their dificult prob- jem in kindness to the blacks. so long the DID THE MAIL CARRIER PASS YOU BY ? ELPA Why worry?

COLORADO & SOUTHERN L COLORADO & SOUTHERN LINES Missionary Society Thursday evening, Feb. 23, at A. M. E. church. She will be entertained Saturday afternoon by the Young Ladies' Art Club. Last week Rev. James Washington went to Sheridan, Wyo., to assist Rev. Baker in conducting his revival meetings. Upon his arrival in Sheridan, Rev. Washington was highly surprised to find such a flourishing young city and such intelligent and energetic representatives of the race there. The Negro population of Sheridan consists of people from our leading cities, such as Washington, D. C., Omaha, Des Moines and St. Joseph. Never was the Reverend more cordially received and more royally entertained, and he returned to Cheyenne highly elated and much outspoken in praise of Sheridan hospitality. The work there in the rescue of souls was very successful, there being one conversion and 11 additions to the church. On Feb. 19th memorial services were held at Allen's chapel in loving remembrance of Bishop Abraham Grant. The choir under the leadership of Miss Lillian Jefferson and assisted by a part of the Ninth Cavalry orchestra, Mrs. Carl Smith and Miss Virgil Gashin, at the organ, rendered beautiful and appropriate music. In a way characteristic of Chaplain G. W. Prioleau of the U. S. army, the life of Bishop Grant as a bishop and churchman was ably portrayed. In a scholarly, yet touching, manner Chaplain Prioleau told of the rise of our beloved deceased in the ministry; of the many adversities he overcame through contact with men who were his peers in scholarly attainments, and finally his realization of his highest ideals in life, namely, holding the highest position in the gift of his denomination, and the highest position in the affections of his people. Chief Musician Wade Hammond, who, through his connection at Western University, as instructor, was very closely associated with the late Bishop, eulogized him as a race man in language that was scholarly as well as complimentary. One of our own young men, one who held a very high place in the affections and respect of the late Bishop, Nolie R. Smith, told in a very touching way of the encouragement and the valuable advice the Bishop had given him, and read an able paper on the life of Bishop Grant as an educator. Mr. Smith cited how Bishop Grant, though he never had an opportunity of attending school; though he was never taught the modern views and the latest ideas of science, philosophy or mathematics; by his close observation, natural talent and own efforts he arose to the dignity of one of the greatest Negro educators the world has known. In the evening Rev. James Washington read the obituary of the Bishop and his last will and testament, and Mr. James C. Gaskin read the account of his funeral services as Reeves, Ramsey, Miss Emma Payton. God has plucked the bright blossom from my home, it is for a purpose none of us dare divine. The holy joy conducted in San Antonio, Texas. The Young Ladies' Literary and Art Club was delightfully entertained by Mrs. Capt. Young, Saturday, Feb. 18, at her beautiful home in Fort Russell. pleasing program was rendered by the young ladies, after which a delicious luncheon was served by the hostess.
