JAPAN IN THE PACIFIC Written for The Statesman by John Edward Bruce Twenty-Second Year JAPAN IN Written for The Statesm Much is being written about Japan just now, and much more could be written if it were possible for those who write to get hold of definite facts. The Japanese, however, are careful in this respect and the outside world is only able to relate a few facts, and to draw upon its imagination to round out the stories which are current respecting Japan and its people. It may be safely said that Japan is not asleep, that it hasn't been asleep for the past fifty or sixty years. The secretiveness of the Japanese people with respect to their naval and military operations is the most annoying thing that the occidental mind has to do with. Their ability to conceal more than they reveal is perhaps one of the causes for the spread of the alarming war scares which the sensational newspapers are wont to put in circulation every little while. Japan, it must be admitted, whether we want to believe it or not, is or will soon be master of the Pacific. No power on earth can prevent it. Strategically her position is invincible. She has at the present time complete control of the whole of the western coast of the Pacific from the Sea of Okhotsk and Siberia (with the aid of Formosa), almost down to Hong Kong. Her next step will be the acquisition of various other strategic islands to the south and east of her center. These islands are the Philippines—on the road to Australia, Hawaii—on the road to the United States, and Samoa—a position which will complete the strategic control of Australia and New Zealand. Men with long memories will recall that years ago, when the United States "benevolently assimilated" Hawaii that Japan entered a vigorous protest against American annexation, thus foreshadowing her present policy of immigration into Hawaii, no less than 61,000 Japanese, many of them war veterans, are now in occupation of the Hawaiian Islands. This shows us that she means some day to enforce her former futile protest. Recent news dispatches from Victoria, Australia, inform that 5,000 Japanese are to be brought as miners to the South Pacific Islands, and this news has aroused the people of Australia who have t pitying contempt for all Asiatics, especially the Japanese, to the point of taking some action to prevent further aggression or invasion of their territory by this alien and despised race. The effect of this is like --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1911 that produced upon the moon when the dog barked at it, it shone on. The Japs will move on and into Australia in spite of the cry "a white Australia" which is the slogan of these white descendants of England's transported criminals w hosettled this country a little over a hundred years ago and who now want to be a world by themselves. Now the population of Australia-the total male population is 2,305,00,659,000 of whom are adults between the ages if 18 and 35 years; 10 per cent. of whom would probably not be able to pass a rigid physical examination for service in the army or navy. Japan with a population of over 40,000,000 (for Korea is now Japanese territory) could easily land 200,000 men somewhere on the coasts of Australia any morning before breakfast, and overrun the country. Not only has Japan an immense superiority to a two-power standard, but she alone could whip the combined fleets of every nation which has fleets in the Pacific. The Pacific is Japan's when she wants it, and all the signs indicate that she will want it soon. Homer Lea in his book, "The Valor of Ignorance," says: "Japan would have little trouble in conquering and colonizing the Western seaboard of the United States, first taking the outpost islands, and it is not necessary to point out to Australians that not only the northern territory, but the whole of the littoral of Australia, where the rich cities are is practically defenseless and at Japan's mercy." Coming nearer home let me say, that even if the American navy desired to invade th Pacific, it could not come, because it has practically no transports flying the United States flag. When President Roosevelt sent the fleet around the world some years ago, as an object lesson to foreign nations, they were accompanied by twenty-nine transports, all flying a foreign flag. In time of war belligerents cannot charter neutral vessels. It is extremely difficult to give an accurate estimate of the Japanese navy. As Whitaker remarks: "This power remains the most secretive of all the maritime nations, even the number of ships she is building being a matter of some doubt." The latest available figures, says another writer an this subject, "show that Japan has fourteen battleships built and four building; eleven armored cruisers built and two building; twenty protected cruisers built and one building; State Historylau & Natural History Society SMAN fifty-five destroyers built and three more building; sixty-nine torpedo boats and nine submarines built and two more under construction. And in 1912 Japan will have seven Dreadnoughts with which to terrorize the largest oceans in the world. The same writer continuing, says: "The only other Powers that in any way compare are the British Empire and the United States. * * * The permanent strength of the United States navy in the Pacific comprises three first class cruisers, while the U. S. Pacific fleet consists of four armored cruisers, eleven cruisers in all, with four destroyers at Cavite, and two monitors in reserve at Olongapo. She has also a number of permanent and floating docks. So that the British and U. S. navies in the Pacific combined, totaling twenty-six cruisers, could do nothing against Japan's fourteen battleships and her thirty-one cruisers and innumerable destroyers." The mind of Asia is the profoundest mind in all this wide world. What she is thinking would greatly astonish those nations which now affect to despise her, and delight to insult and humiliate her people. Japan will as surely rise to a more commanding and conspicuous position among the nations of the earth, as that night follows the day. She is slowly, silently and surely awaiting the advent of the psychological moment take her place in this great world drama, and when she acts she will "shake the pillars of some of the commonwealths of the old and the new worlds. "The shallows murmur, while the deeps are dumb." The Soda Dispensers entertained all Denver, or at least as much of it as could crowd into East Turner hall Wednesday night at their dance. The popularity they have earned in other years by their grand entertaining was well maintained this year. The use of festoons of artificial flowers, real fruits and flowers and artistic displays of goods used for the fountain trade, made the East Turner which was, a bower of beauty. Of course, there were ice carving that made the mouth water with their fruits and flowers. Leanord Anderson headed the brigade of decorators, and every soda dispenser followed, working far up into the night previous. The dancing was all that could be desired. In fact when the evening entertainment closed it was voted the best for many a day. The entertainment committee, consisting of J. W. Leavell, Lloyd Hall, John Watkins, Ernest Parks and Pearl Mason, are winners. --- SODA BOYS ENTERTAIN. FIVE CENTS A COPY AN OPEN LETTER To the Statesman: I take pleasure in congratulating you on the very able articles in the last three issues of your paper, first on the indefensible stigma aimed at us in Bill No. 240, classing us with the worst of undesirables. Noting the difficulty in getting copies of the bill, it aroused in me intense skepticism as to the intent of the measure toward colored citizens. Your second and third articles on the duty we owe and the cohesive force we can exert against proscription and the treachery of those gum-shoed, self-seeking vampires who stealthily seek to misrepresent us, and the appeal for our combined efforts to wipe out this element, was timely, refreshing and logical. We of the Democratic faith have been sorely tried and sadly betrayed by two perfidious, disreputable time-servers, who masquerade as Democrats, who are noted for their vocations, who in the last campaign fairly leaped at the opportunity to betray the interests of the colored citizen and trample upon his manhood in order to play upon the cupidity of certain misguided state officials who designated for us a lower status of political representation than that accorded by former state administrations. They reported phantom organizations which they did not nor could not set up, for the reason that where they were known they had no influence. They went so far as to copy the membership of certain colored clubs, palm them off on those who sought to use them as members of political organizations. It is the opinion of many white and colored citizens that state officials who denied us political recognition are infinitely to be preferred to these traducers of their mistreated brethren. It is also the opinion of many that we should wage unrelenting war upon such as they as a matter of self protection. It is idle to suppose that intelligent thoughtful people of an entire race in a great nation like ours should agree upon the same political and partisan propaganda. To do so would mean sinking to the dead level of mediocrity as we have done in recent years. What we need is honest, cool headed, fearless leaders in all parties to protect our interests. As both parties are so remiss in their duty to us and ever ready to rear caste lines, it is reasonable that we should easily unite regardless of other honest differences for racial proposition hits us alike, whatever our political faith may be. The political traitors in our own race are equally pernicious, therefore, and we should make common cause in getting rid of them. Now what are we going to do about it? C. W. BUFORD. THE RACE QUESTION SOUTH. Colored Citizens Have Just Cause For Complaint, Says Dillard. In the course of his lecture on "The Growing South" at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York recently, President James H. Dillard of Tulane university, Louisiana, said: "It is doubtful whether the discussion of the race question in the south is helpful at this time. Quiet work for improved conditions is more needed than loud talk. So much has been said and done which might cause irritation that the wonder is how peaceably the millions are going on about their business. It is only the dozens and hundreds about whom we hear trouble. In my opinion, the races are settling down to a basis of gradual adjustment, which requires time and patience. If we wish to hurry let us hurry in the way of better schools, better religion, better homes and more landowners. I shall venture to mention four grounds on which I think the colored people have a right to make just complaint, the trouble may be in the north as well as in the south. "They have a right to complain of their treatment in the lower courts, which are the main courts for most of their people. It is a shame that less care is taken, less money paid, less thought given to ensure justice in these lower courts than in the higher courts. "Another just ground of complaint is the treatment which they too often receive from the employees of public service corporations, especially from the employees of common carriers, such as ticket sellers and car conductors. I mean the humiliating treatment in the way of gruff words and manner. "Still another cause of complaint is that in many parts in the south, especially in the rural districts, the colored people are not provided with public schools which are open long enough or have sufficiently competent teachers. The education of the masses must depend on the public schools, and our southern white people must learn that from every consideration of justice, as well as from every consideration of self interest, the masses of the race in the country must be brought out of the condition of ignorance and inefficiency. "The fourth complaint is that we are too apt to generalize the Negroes as a mass and judge the whole by the worst types. On the contrary, the colored people of the south should be encouraged to have self respect and race respect. PRESIDENT M'WILLIAMS TO LEAVE COREY INSTITUTE Has Accepted Call to the Third Baptist Church of Toledo, O. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Perhaps no event in educational circles of tidewater Virginia has caused more regret among both the colored and white people of that section than the announcement of the resignation of Professor B. F. McWilliams from the presidency of Corey Memorial institute, Portsmouth, Va. President McWilliams has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Third Baptist church, Toledo, O., which he gives as a reason for his resignation from the presidency of Corey institute. He will, however, remain at the school THE STATESMAN—10 until the end of the present school year. The Third Baptist church is the leading church of the denomination in Toledo and considers itself fortunate in securing the services of such an able scholar and pulpit orator. When Professor McWilliams took charge of Corey institute four years ago the school was located in a hall. The faculty at that time consisted of two teachers, and the total number of students in attendance was sixty-eight. By persistence and the hearty co-operation of a faithful board of trustees Dr. McWilliams has placed the school upon an excellent working basis. The enrollment this term is 169 students. The departments of the school are preparatory (normal), academic and ministerial. The plant is valued at more than $10,000, upon which $6,000 has been paid. The white people of tidewater Virginia are deeply interested in the institution and have expressed their willingness and intention of rallying to its support. Some of the best testimonials in the possession of President McWilliams are from the white people of the immediate community in which the school is located. The good beginning which the school has made and the work which it has accomplished are a guarantee of its future success under proper management. The most important question which now concerns the trustees is to find the right kind of man to succeed Dr. McWilliams. HONOR WENDELL PHILLIPS. Hundredth Anniversary of Great Agitator to Be Observed Nov. 29. The National Independent Political league and the New England Suffrage league are perfecting plans for a joint celebration in Faneuil hall, Boston, on Wednesday, Nov. 29, of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Wendell Phillips. The two organizations will be assisted by a citizens' committee. Members of the various organizations and all persons who are in sympathy with the principles for which Wendell Phillips gave the best of his life are also asked to co-operate in making the celebration worthy of the memory of the great man for whom the memorial is to be held. Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Independent Political league, has been requested to order similar celebrations to be held by the various state branches of the league throughout the country. MIXED JURY TRY CRIMINAL. Race Prejudice Brushed Aside In Trial of Earle McFarland. It is said that the jury which tried one Earle McFarland, a white criminal, for his life in Galveston, Tex., recently was composed of six colored men and six white men. The case attracted wide attention, as it is believed by those who profess to know to be the first instance of the kind in the history of criminal proceedings in the Lone Star State. Be that as it may, we see nothing in the selection of colored men to serve as jurors at the trial of a white man over which to exult. If the jurors were each citizens of the United States and of the commonwealth of Texas, adjudged by the commissioner of jurors to be competent to determine the innocence or guilt of the criminal according to the facts in the case from a legal standpoint, that is all that is necessary. --- WHETHER CUSTOM MA NOBBY IN STYLE A AT THE QUALITY CL 1015 SIXTEENTH ST.

Will the ladies work this up? DENVER ED MARTIN & BOB WATKINS. I received word the other day from the coast stating that the promoters of the coast were going to pull off a big old prize fighters' tournament, and they have named Bob Watkins and Denver Ed Martin as two good men in the business if they are of a darkened color. SAM LANGFORD IN LUCK. All of the lords, dukes and earls are fight crazy and think that Sam is a God send, and don't think that Johnson or any other man in the world can beat Sam, and they believe it so strong that they will frofeit all the way from $10,000 to a million dollars on one Sam Langford. A NEW CLUB FOR DENVER. Little Mac Smart and Dave Strazer opened up one of the neatest little clubs in Denver Wednesday, which is located on Twentieth street between Curtis and Champa. A place for gentlemen who like to play a sociable game of cards, checkers or a game of pool. Their motto will be, you are all friends of us, and right you are. Word has been received that Jack Blackburn, the colored lightweight, had been released from prison and that he would leave this country at once for Australia where he would reenter the ring. Blackburn is an Indianapolis boxer and he was regarded as a championship possibility when he was convicted on the charge of murder in the city of Baltimore. KID HOCK BONES AND KYLE WHITNEY. Hock Bones, the Memphis middleweight fighter, fought eight fast rounds to a draw with Kyle Whitney of San Francisco at the National Athletic club of Memphis. But the general opinion of the fans was that the white man had it over Hock Bones by a small margin which the referee did not see. COLORED WOMAN PIANIST. There was a wide range of differences in opinion last week regarding Miss Hazel Harrison, the pianist, who played in Chicago. The Chicago Etrunjer criticised her work severely, while the Chicago Inter-Ocean gave her the greatest praise, and in justice to Miss Harrison, Sylvester Russell, the negro critic, reproduced the praise, as he says she gave evidence of unusual technical gifts and a good degree of appreciation of the poetic content. Her program was severe in its demands, but her success was deserved. NYE'S DIXIE MINSTRELS. B. H. Nye, manager of the Dixie Minstrels, will play parks and gardens this summer, opening about May 15th with some of the best negro minstrel men in the business. MR. ACTOR AND ACTRESS MUST STUDY. It is becoming more and more evident that merit rather than favoritism is winning on the stage. The other name for merit is hard work, going upward, getting something new or improving the old. It appears that many of our own performers are too easily satisfied with what they can do. But the tre artist is what I should call tireless and feels that he can always do just a little more and a little better to help things along. Now young ones starting in must have that feeling of never die and when they are in that state they seldom ever have trouble. COOPER AND ROBINSON. Colored comedians of no small ability is that of Cooper and Robinson, who are playing at the Alhambra theatre, New York, and are a scream. FAMOUS AMERICAN JUBILEE SINGERS. Daniel W. Brown, head of the famous American Jubilee Singers, tells of the great success his singers are having throughout the United Kingdom. His company sang with success at the well known Welsh musical festival, better known in Wales as the Eistiddfodd. He has also been invited to go to Cape Town, Africa, and is seriously considering the invitation. LITTLE SAVOY THEATRE, MEMPHIS. May & May are now heading the bill at the Little Savoy theatre, Memphis, Tenn. Butler May, well known as String Beans, is making a hit over the average as would be expected. Sweetee is also very pleasing. She sings her latest hit, "Oh, Papa, String Beans Kag," and they both take home a ton of coal nightly, or in other words will soon be in a class with Johnnie D. EDWARD (BUD) THOMAS TO BE A WRESTLER. Don't ever let anything surprise you. Why? Because, Bud ahs the chance and is taking advantage of the situation. Prof. Edward Carson, physical director of the D. A. C., for whom Bud Thomas is private secretary, has promised Bud that he would teach him the art of fencing and wrestling and we will have to say Kid Thomas now is in a fair way to be a wonder, as he is fast to take hold of both arts. MURPHY & FRANCES. One of the cleverest colored teams in vaudeville is that of Murphy & Frances, who closed last week at the Aikin theatre, Cincinnati, and owing to their great popularity they have been requested to go back to Chicago for an indefinite stay and Murphy has been made an offer to star by a New York manager, which he is to consider. Mr. Elmer Bowman, of the Billie Binks company, has written a new song entitled, "I Never Had a Man to Love Me Like You." which is being featured by Miss Elizabeth Murray of the Madame Sherry Co., now playing at the New Amsterdam theatre, New York. Mr. Bowman will also probably make a trip to Denver this spring to visit old friends and relatives. WILLIAM E.

Washington says that if you take thirteen eggs, bring the odd one to him to help feed the visiting minister. A hint to the wise is sufficient. The A. M. E. choir was assisted Sunday evening by members of the Ninth Cavalry band. Come again, gentlemen, you are heartily welcomed. The Woman's Mite Missionary met with Mrs. J. C. Gaskin Friday afternoon, March 3. Delicious refreshments were served to the ladies by the hostess. Rev. Scott, the great evangelist, is helping Rev. Washington in a revival meeting. He is the greatest and best speaker that Cheyenne people have heard in recent years. Everyone should attend these meetings and get a portion of the blessings of God. Peter James, an old resident of Cheyenne, was called to his eternal home Friday night, March 3. Mr. James suffered for several months and finally God relieved him of his suffering. He was a devout member and a deacon in the Baptist church, from which the funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 2:15, under auspices of the Odd Fellows. He is survived by a wife and brother. Gone but not forgotten. Miss Rosie Alexander was the charming hostess of the Literary and Art club Saturday afternoon, March 4. The club met in the church parlors. After the business was transacted delicious refreshments were served to M'sses Pearl Ewing, Lillian Jefferson, Ruth Robinson, Eunice Ashford, Marie Smith, Eugenia Austin, Armlinta Cave, Marthena and Eva Palmer and Mrs. Washington. Little Freda Smith was a distinguished guest of the club. WAITER'S ASSOCIATION A meeting was held on the above date by the colored head waiters of the city to organize an association of waiters to further their condition and strengthen the cause they represent. Mr. Geo. Groves, our amiable head waiter of the Traffic Club, was unanimously elected chairman of the meeting. In well chosen words Mr. Groves outlined the present and future conditions of the colored waiters in Denver. In part he stated he saw bright hopes of the colored waiters of Denver widening their scope in the field of their profession in order to accomplish this aim we must show strength and reliableness, form an association and be mutual in our proceedings, that is, if we hope for success. Mr. Wm. Russ, head waiter of Denver Club, and Mr. J. H. Winn, head waiter of Country Club, and Mr. W. H. Spriggs followed in order with interesting remarks, approving the benefits of an association of waiters. By unanimuos vote the meeting went into permanent organization. The following officers were elected for a term of one year: Wm. Russ, president; Geo. Groves, first vice president; J. H. Winn, second vice president; Owen Casswell, third vice president; W. H. Spriggs, corresponding secretary; Eugene Andrews, assistant secretary; Thomas Williams, treasurer. There will be a special meeting March 16th for the enrollment of THE STATESMAN—13 membership. A smoker will follow. Until a committee finds a suitable place for meeting, every waiter will be notified in time where to meet. The name of the association will be known as the Afro-American Waiters' Association of the State of Colorado. LA JUNTA, COLORADO. Rev. Bond and wife arrived in our city two weeks ago to take charge of Hubbard chapel A. M. E. church. They are both very earnest workers and we feel that the success of the work is assured. Mrs. Simms and daughter Henrietta of Topeka, Kans., are in the city for the latter's health. They are stopping with Mrs. Lenox on Lincoln avenue. Mr. John Lawson and sister Vivian of Topeka visited with their mother and sister over Sunday. Mr. J. W. Winchester entertained Miss Ida Davis and Miss Rilla Brown of Rocky Ford at a six-course dinner Sunday. Mr. Claude Tyler resigned his position in the drug store and will take charge of his father's ranch. Mrs. Andy Vernon is on the sick list. Mrs. James Scott entertained the H. A. club Thursday afternoon. Miss Daisy Berry read a splendid paper on the life of Edgar Allen Poe. The discussion was led by Mrs. Lenox. Delicious refreshments were served. There is quite a demand for good colored men at the Santa Fe snops. Mr. Grant is confined to his bed with a severe cold. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Badgett caught fire Tuesday. Very little damage was done. Mr. Simms visited his wife and daughter Sunday. DENVER PERSONALS MADAM PERKINS' HOME COMING IS A TRIUMPH. The coming home of Madam T. D. Perkins, who has spent several months in the East, is in the nature of a triumph. She has visited a number of eastern cities and in every one has done a bigger business than on her former visits. Furthermore, she has gone into cities where many persons were advertising they grew hair. That she has been able to make good over the competition they offered, and over the natural difficulties that beset a new vocation, has established more than anything else the wonderful merit of her treatments and preparations. She will have a story of her trip for readers of the Statesman at an early date after her return. Complimentary to Mr. Baker and his bride, his sister, Mrs. Laura Hill, entertained about forty guests at breakfast on Thursday at high noon. The repast was served buffet style. The numerous good wishes and handsome presents have given an impetus to the happy beginning of the bride and bridegroom which have made on life's journey. Mrs. Baker has arrived in the city, only Tuesday having been in California, yet her winning manner has endeared her to all who met her already. They will be at home at 2454 Glenarm place. Mr. Dave Strasier and Mack Smart have resigned their positions with the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association and have gone in business for themselves at 921 20th street. The rumor that Mr. Walker, of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association, is in any way interested is entirely unfounded.

Ueathblow to Class Legislation. The West segregation scheme which was got up and passed by the city council of Baltimore for the purpose of preventing colored people from living in streets where the majority of residents were white has been declared null and void. The sooner all such unjust measures are wiped out of existence in the United States the better. Class legislation has no place in a rpublic. The West ordinance was a disgrace to the intelligent citizens of Baltimore. It deserved the death which it died. In all such cases there should be no resurrection.—Dodson.

Payne of Boulder, the great evangelist and sweet singer of the Colorado conference, is conducting this series of meetings. The first week has been very successful. The pastor urges that all redouble their efforts for the closing next week Sunday's services will be conducted by the pastor at the usual hours. Special work will be done with the young people in the Sunday school and in the Endeavor League. CAMPBELL NOTES. The revival meeting is still meeting with great success. Rev.

The old veteran comedian of fame, John Rucker, who is still in the field doing a big stunt with the great minstrels, is singing a late song hit, "If I Could See as far Ahead as I Can See Behind," and the critics say that it is one of the best comic songs ever produced and the audience at each performance insist on all the extra verses, which are the candy. MME. HACKLEY AND MISS FITZ- HUGH. Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the talented blind singer of St. Louis, was presented by Mme. E.

Henderson was from the Peoples' Presbyterian church Sunday, with Rev. Hazell officiating and Undertaker Lawhorn in charge. The details of the death of Jos. Kelly, formerly of this city but recently of Muscogee, Okla., have been received here. It seems that Mr. Kelly in company with a brother, from whose restaurant an employee had stolen a revolver and $33, went into the country near Muscogee in a buggy in search of information as to the employee's whereabouts. They happened to come upon him, and sought to keep him in sight until an officer arrived from town in compliance with a telephone message summoning him. Joseph Kelly, from some motive unaccounted for, sought to lay hands on the fugitive in the meanwhile and was shot by him through both lungs and the stomach. He died eight hours later in a city hospital. The whole occurrence seemed to have been fated, for at the time of the shooting the officer was just arriving on the scene. The funeral occurred on Feb. 15, three days after the shooting. His wife was present from this city. He died generally mourned. Operetta In Aid of Boys' Athletic Club. The literary and social entertainment recently given by the instructors and pupils of the Indiana avenue public school in Atlantic City for the benefit of the Boys' Athletic club was a brilliant affair. The pupils taking part in the operetta, "A Merry Company," reflected much credit upon both themselves and their teachers. Results of Industry and Economy.

Just before leaving the city the lat- ter part of February for Brooklyn, N.

Mr. Amos Scott and Mr. Nutter were appointed to confer with a committee which meets in Harrisburg shortly, when thé matter will be brought before the legislature. DR. JOSEPH E. HAYNE DIES. Noted Scholar and Publicist Passes Away After Brief Illness. Pee ae eee Seas On ee aie eee Dor genet | In the death of the Rey. Dr. Joseph E. Hayne, which occurred in Brook- tn recently, the race has been de- prived of one of its most distinguish- ed and scholarly men. Dr. Hayne was born of slave parent- age in Charleston, 8. C. He enlisted in the South Carolina volunteers, zi States infantry, and served as commissary sergeant to the close of the civil war. He matriculated at Atlanta university, Atlanta, Ga., where he received the degree of A. B. He also attended Wilberforce university, Wilberforce, ©., and graduated from the theological department of Goward university, Washington, in 1872. He worked in the public printing office in Washington, where he invented a printing and folding press. He was one of the founders of the South Car- olina conference of the African Meth- odist Episcopal church. | He held all the important charges In this conference and served as a presid- ing elder in it for over twelve years, during which time he published a weekly journal. He was dean of the | theological department of Allen univer- sity, Columbia, S. C., for four years. While there he took a course in medi- “cine, He was admitted to practice in the state of North Carolina in 1894. Dr. Hayne was an acknowledged Latin, Greek and Hebrew scholar, and for twenty-five years he made use of both public and private libraries in dif- ferent parts of the country, sometimes at great sacrifice, to get the fullest possible history of his race. Among the books and pamphlets he bas writ- ten are: “Who Was James Arminius and What Was His Peculiar Doc- trine?” “Ham and His Immediate De- scendants,” “Controversy Between the Brother In Black and the Brother In White,” “Ham's Place In History,” “The Hamitle Origin of the Greeks, Romans, Cretans and All the Celtie Races,” “The HWamitle Race and. the White People,” “The Black Man; or, Natural History of the Hamitic Race,” “Of One Blood.” We has also left a number of iinportant manuscripts. His writings have brought forth many com- ments from newspapers, magazines and professors in prominent educational in- stitutions. THis writings are widely circulated among his race, and he has been called by many the “rock of de- fense” for the race. PRIME FACTOR — IN RACE UPLIFT, Old Reliable Book Goncern’s Plea For Race Authorship, HONEST BUSINESS METHODS. If Afro-Americans Are to Influence the World They Must Do So Through Their Literature—Young Men’s Pro- gressive Club In Flourishing Condi- tion—Influence of E. J. Waring. By WHITTIER H. WRIGHT. It is not generally known that the A. M. ©. Book Concern, located in Philadelphia, is one of the largest book printeries in the United States owned by Afro-Americans, but it is a fact. It is the oldest publishing house of its kind in America and is making an honest effort to be the best. To do this the managers emphasize two things: First. good mechanical work in which they strive to give their patrons as good printing as they can get else- where for the money. They emphasize, in the second place, that which they think is more impor- tant in race building, tue endeavor to develop race authorship and a love for race books. If the Afro-American is to infiuence the world it must be through the writers of the race who tell of the struggles, the ideals and aspirations of our people. for this reason much care should be taken in publishing books of the race. The concern recently printed “Out of Briars—An Autobiography,” by Rev. A. H. Newton. In this book Dr. New- ton tells of his experience in the civil war and as a pioneer A. M. B. preacher in many parts of the country. “Tifty- two Suggestive Sermon Syliabi,” by Bishop L. J. Coppin, is another recent publication of the A. M. E. Book Con- cern. The Christion Recorder, of which Dr. Rh. R. Wright is the editor, is published by this concern. !t is the oldest race journal in the United States. It is also the oldest and largest organ of the A. M. £. chureh. {ts editorials are always pithy, instructive and elevat- ing. The Young Men's Progressive club, which is composed of business ymen of the city, held its second meeting in the office of Gary Bros., at Sixteenth and Christian streets, recently and trans- acted u deal of business. A large pum- ber of young men were present, and many became members of the organi- zation. At u largely attended meeting of the Allen Christian Endeavor society of the Morris Brown African Methodist Episcopal church the life and work of the following characters were discuss- ed: Richard Allen, by James W. Cald- well; Daniel A. Payne, by W. R. Gul- lins, Jr.; Abram Grant, by Bishop B. T. Tanner; Mary A. Campbell, by Rev. Theodore Gould; Pau! Laurence Dun- bar, by Whittier H. Wright.

Sprague, 2432 Gilpin St., was a charming hostess at a delightful 6 o'clock progressive tea given last Friday evening in honor of Mrs. L. Locke of Kansas City. The guests numbered sixteen ladies, who were equally distributed at dainty little tea tables spread in the spacious dining room. The entertainment was unique in that it gave a change of partners with each course, while the ladies merrily chatted and sipped their tea, as well as a chance to enjoy the agreeable company of the guest of honor. The color scheme being red and gold, beautiful spring flowers of tulip, jonquils and carnations, were much in evidence. The place card was the letter "S" in yellow and numbered, tied with dainty red ribbon. Music and a literary contest followed. Those who partook of this pleasant hospitality were Mesdames L. Locke, M. Keelan, D. Jackson, L. Lewis, H. Johnson, Wm. Hickman, A. Gaines, P. E. Spratlin, M. Quoin, A. Campbell, G. Ingram, H. Gatewood, Chas. Smithea, J. C. Cooper, C. Joseph and B. P. Johnson.

A good old family dinner by Mrs. Laura Finley, open handed hospitality by the Price family of 2605 Lafayette street left a pleasant memory, to say nothing of social calls upon many acquaintances here, such as Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, parents of Mrs. McClain, Jos. Houston and others. Mr. Elliott and relatives have a warm spot in their memory for Denver people which they hope to keep green by extending similar courtesies to those who were so kind to them. A CALL TO ARMS! The Y. M. C. B. seemed to open fire on the enemy sin at its meeting last Sunday afternoon at Shorter Chapel. Jim Goodheart of the Sunshine Rescue Mission was the commanding officer and led a gallant charge. He was ably followed by the Christian workers in song and prayer. Eight young men came forward for prayer. Such work is in keeping with the spirit of the Y. M. C. A. work and the Y. M. C. B. does not intend to let its share go undone. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock another splendid meeting of the same sort will be conducted by the Rev. A. M. Ward. The singing is to be made a special feature. If you are a Christian it is your duty to be present to help carry on the good work. If you are a sinner you should come to make sure your soul's salvation. Owing to the revival services held by the Y. M. C. B. on the next two Sunday afternoons, the Taka Art club which was to conduct the Ladies' Day exercises tomorrow, has kindly consented to give their excellent program on the first Sunday in April. The great evangelist from Kansas City, the Rev. Geo. McNeal, who will conduct Central's revival next week, will be the leader of the Y. M. C. B. campaign for next Sunday, the 19th. Don't fail to hear him. Y. M. C. B. meetings are held at Shorter chapel at 4 p. m. for the next three months. --- Y. M. C. B. Bible class was organized last Saturday night with nine members.

Russell to prepare to move to Ft. Sam Houston, Texas, for field service. While the men are not particularly fond of field service, they are glad to part from this Wyoming wind for a few months at least. On the same day the order was issued the men of the various organizations were busily engaged packing up so as to be ready to leave at any time. The boys will say good bye to Cheyenne for a while. THE BAND. With much regret the weekly concerts given by the band at the various troops will be cut off on account of having to depart for Ft. Sam Houston, Texas. We don't know when we will be back, but whenever we return our aim shall be to fill the hearts of the public with some more good music. Mr. Jacob Raymond, drummer in the band, who is so well liked by everybody, will soon leave us, his term of service expiring the first of next week. We hate to see him leave us, but he says he must go. May joy and success go with you. "Muldoom." TROOP A. Ellie Brake, late of Troop K, re-enlisted for Troop A.

Among those from Cheyenne who braved the weather to be present we noted Mrs. E. B. Gilmore, Mrs. A. N. May, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Palmer, the Misses Palmer, Mrs. Baker, Miss Ewing, Miss E. Ashford, Hon. Curtis Ward and family, Nellie Smith, Orlando Gaskin, Bill Ashford and a host of others. As the last sweet straings of "Home, Sweet Home" were faintly dying away, Topsy Hartseell was heard to remark, "I got mine." A most befitting climax to the social season of 1911. First Sergt. Contee was assisted in receiving by Sergt. Barnes, Holmes, Howard, Hart and Ullman. YE OLD TROOP "H" DANCES. By far the most brilliant social function held during the season was the full dress ball given by ye old Troop "H" 9th Horse in their barracks on Friday evening, March 3rd. The massive squad room was most appropriately decorated with the national colors, guidons, bunting and artistic designs of gaily colored paper, the lights were enclosed with Japanese lanters and on the walls hung trophies and relics of Indian, Spanish and Philippine campaigns in which the troop has participated. Promptly at 8 o'clock the grand march, led by Corp. and Mrs. Kelly, started, and from then until the last notes of "Home, Sweet Home" wafted through the breeze, ye gallant knights of the saber, their ladies and friends tripped the light fantastic to soul-inspiring music ably rendered by the now famous 9th Cavalry orchestra, conducted by our own Professor Hammond. To say that the orchestra was at its best would be stating it mild, for throughout the entire programme encores were repeatedly demanded. At ten o'clock mess call was sounded and the vast assembly retired to the spacious dining hall, where they found awaiting them an abundant supply of "oil of joy" and a most delicious luncheon consisting of oyster patties, chicken, shrimp and potato salads, chicken, ham and cheese sandwiches, coffee and cigars. The committee was strictly on the job and vied with one another in their efforts to please the vast throng present. Particular noticed were Corporals Caldwell, Robesin and Kelly, Privates Harris, Bristol and Stewart, who were constantly on hand with "ye earthen mug," filled with oil of joy; to the credit of these dashing troopers we rise to remark that the usual refrain, "There haint no more" was not in evidence during the evening. Social seasons will come again, but the affair of last Friday evening will go down in the history of Fort Russell as the most brilliant social function of 1911. In union with the cavalry dress cords and yellow buff of the non-commissioned officers were the many handsome and charming gowns worn by the ladies. TROOP I. Sergt. Rountree is a mighty brave soldier. On the afternoon of the day the order was received for the removal of the regiment to Ft. Sam Houston, he was the happiest man in the army because he thought he was going to war. He was heard to say: "I love to fight. I get shot in the back." Three cheers for you, Bravo. We know you will not be seen when you run. TROOP K. Troop K is preparing to give a in honor of Sergt. White, who will soon retire from the service. The grand Easter ball on the 16th of April troop is going to considerable expense to make this the best ball that has been given at Ft. Russell. The Ninth Cavalry orchestra has been engaged to play for the dance. Sergt. Shelton is now in Denver and will turn in his furlough on the night of the 7th. Private Stafford has transferred from Troop K to Troop M. All the noncommissioned officers of Troop K passed the examination on the drill regulation. The Wm.

TRUE REFORMERS' EXTRA SESSION Strong Efforts Being Made to Save Order From Total Failure. RETRENCHMENT OF FORCES. Delegates From Twenty-seven States and a Large Number of Prominent Business Men Pledge Grand Master Holmes Their Loyal Support—Commissioner Button Gives Advice. By GEORGE F. KING. Richmond, Va.-The recent special session of the Grand United Order of True Reformers was the most representative one ever held by this great organization. Leading business men from over twenty-seven states were present. It is remarkable to note the harmony and general unison among the delegates to save the organization. This meeting, consisting of more than 750 delegates, proves conclusively that the Negro is capable of conserving his financial interest in a legislative body. The meeting was presided over by Grand Master A. W. Holmes, who exhibited unusual ability. Colonel Joseph Button, commissioner of insurance of Virginia, and Isaac Davenport, his actuary, visited the grand fountain and were received with great eclat. Their remarks were pregnant with sound advice. The colonel in part said: "I have a great interest in you people because your organization has done more for the uplift of the Negro than any other fraternity of your race. The report of the grand master, which showed that $54,000 had been raised since last October and that claims were rapidly being paid throughout the country, elicited great enthusiasm on the part of the body. The reports of Grand Worthy Secretary W. P. Burrell revealed many facts desired by the delegates. He stated that he had sounded the alarm for years about the czar-like procedure of W. L. Taylor, the dethroned head of the order. All reports were carefully audited by men on committees who were financiers. Prominent among them were Professor R. B. McRary, Adolphus Humbles, estimated to be worth over $200,000; Dr. James B. Dudley, president of the North Carolina A. and M. College For Afro-Americans; Dr. J. E. Dellinger, Dr. John Merriweather, Dr. W. T. Johnson and Dr. W. F. Graham. The policy of the order is retrenchment. Salaries of several officers were reduced. The field force was reduced by declaring vacant the offices of two deputy generals; the real estate department was abolished; the offices of manager and editor of the Reformer, the official organ, were combined, and B. A. Graves, who was formerly manager, was elected for said positions. J. C. Newsome of Newport News, Va., was elected attorney for the order. The delegates expressed implicit confidence in Dr. John E. Merriweather, a wealthy and conservative busi- ```markdown ``` THE STATESMAN—6 [Name] PRESIDENT A. W.

Intelligence and sane business judgment was supreme at this session, and the following representative people from various sections of the country were elected to the board: A. W. Holmes, Richmond, Va.; W. L. Anderson, Beaver Dam, Va.; George E. Morris, Morristown, N. J.; W. P. Burrell, Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Rosa Thompson, Philadelphia; Dr. John E. Merriweather, Richmond, Va.; Dr. James B. Dudley and Dr. J. E. Dellinger, Greensboro, N. C.; Adolphus Humbles, Lynchburg, Va.; W. R. Griffin, Washington; Dr. W. T. Johnson, Richmond Va.; Floyd Ross, St. Louis; Lee Trent, Pittsburg, and Joseph Ward, Richmond, Va. The other officers elected were L. D. Hodge, G. W. G., Montgomery, W. Va.; H. Brown, G. W. A. G., Annapolis, Md.; J. R. Wilson, G. W. P. G., Danville, Va.; Mrs. M. L. Howard, G. W. R. H., Atlanta, Ga.; M. J. Gibson, G. W. L. G., Indianapolis, Ind. WILLIAM H. LEWIS NAMED. Appointed by Taft an Assistant United States Attorney General. The announcement in Washington on Tuesday, Feb. 28, that President Taft had finally nominated William Henry Lewis, the brilliant Boston lawyer, to be an assistant United States attorney general created a sensation in political circles at the capital. The first announcement of the president's intention to appoint Mr. Lewis to the said position was made previous to the election last November, but no definite steps were taken in that direction at the time, and his failure to name Mr. Lewis for the position caused much harsh criticism from the rank and file of Afro-American voters throughout the country. William Henry Lewis is one of the ablest lawyers the race has thus far produced. He was appointed an assistant United States district attorney by ex-President Roosevelt during his first administration, which position he still holds. Mr. Lewis will succeed the Hon. John G. Thompson, who recently resigned his position. --- WANG XIAO The Leader The Leader MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNBO. MRS.

Through his efforts there are now about 400 colored teach ers in the schools, including twenty in the-high school. e@ colored schools are divided ‘nto ~croups and are under the super- of Messrs. Joseph H. Locker- arry T. Pratt and George B. ryay. The principal of the high school is Professor Mason A. Hawkins, who {is a graduate of Harvard and Co- Jambia universities. Dr. Cargill was ordained an. elder in the African Methodist Episcopal eburch in 1873.

E. church, Baltimore, the late Bishop Wayman was taken desperately ill, and the attending phy- sicians hed given up all bope of his recovery Dr. Cargill called to see the sick prelate and was asked to pre scribe for him. Under his care the bishop was brought around to good health and was able to continue much of his work for some time. The doctor's success in attending Bishop Wayman was heralded all over the country, and he soon found that he bad a large practice. His practice grew so rapidly that be was compelled to give up the active work of the ministry. He ts the founder of the Provident hospital, Baltimore, and for some years he had charge of the de partment of gynecology. He is also one of the few colored physicians who run sanitariums.

Interesting Sketch of Dr. J. Marcus Cargill, Former City Councilman, Who Introduced Ordnance Which Gradually Eliminated White Teach- ers From Colored Schools. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Baltimore.—The great progress that has been made by the colored schools of Baltimore during the past decade bas been due largely to the fastalla tion of colored teachers therein. The first colored teachers were employed in 1889, and for the next ten years they did not number a hundred. J In 1895 Dr. J. Marcus Cargill was elected to the Galtimore city council, and almost tmmediately after be was sworn into office he began a campaign to have colored teachers installed in all of the schools maintained for the race in the city. He introduced an ordi- nance In the city council In December, 1895, providing for the gradual elimi- nation of white teachers from colored schools. The white teachers in colored schools waged a vigorous campaign against the adoption of the measure, but with some amendments it was finally passed by both branches of the Baltimore city council in March, 1896. The ordinance was signed by Mayor Hopper a few days later, Dr. Cargill is the father of the law creating a distinct high echocl for the b 7 é & eS 5 ie z x. 7 a ‘ ia ty im we he Ps Soke ex SR ae ee DR.

At the Masonic banquet, given recently, Attorney W. B. Townsend responded to the toast, "A Lesson in Friendship," in part as follows: This is an era of societies. There are religious societies, humane societies, literary societies, suffrage societies, scientific societies and a vast variety of societies organized for doing or trying to do things. Tonight I am honored to be the guest of a secret benevolent society of ancient origin whose purpose is not only sweet charity,/but to inculcate, as well, real friendship, the outgrowth of confidence, the relation which binds human beings closer and makes them to feel and to know that they have greater claims for mutual protection and friendship upon each other than can possibly arise out of the fraternal claims of the ordinary society of modern times. I have always believed, as I now believe, that free-masonry and its auxiliary societies, the chapters and courts, have endeavored to teach the blending of the ideal friendship and the real friendship, so as to smooth the rigor of the lives of men and women; and to harmonize their differences until the symbol of friendship will not only be symetrical but will exert cogent influence and be conducive to the welfare of mankind. The possession of such admirable principles and their triumph is assuredly a consumption devoutly to be hoped for and striven for and will be encouraging and cheering as well as a happy reward for all true Masons while completing the temple of friendship they have been so long at work upon. In the Old Testament at the first chapter of Ruth, I have selected a model from which I hope to draw a lesson in friendship. Some five hundred years before the coming of Christ, we are told that there was a great famine in the land of Judah. In that country lived one Elimelch, his wife Naomi and their two sons. From a desire to better their condition they went into the land of Moab to live. When there, and some time afterward, the two sons married each a woman of the tribe of Moab, whose names were Ruth and Orpah, respectively. It turned out that the husband of Naomi, the husband of Ruth and the husband of Orpah died. Naomi was discontented, being in a strange land, and knowing that it would be difficult for her to maintain herself in that country, called about her her daughters-in-law and informed them of her conclusion to return to her own land, and insisted that they go to their homes and abide among their people. Both daughters-in-law wept and caressed Naomi and tried to persuade her not to return to Judah, but to no avail. Orpah, after much meditation, went away to the home of her people, but Ruth remained with Naomi, saying: "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge. Thy people shall be my tesman WI MS. ths .....$1.00 Three months .. $ .50 Colorado, as second class mailmatter. people and thy God my God. Where thou diest I will die and be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more, of aught but death part thee and me." The story of Ruth is but a brief chapter—yet it is full of interest because it is replete with pathos, sympathy, friendship and love exemplified in the superlative degree. It teaches unselfish devotion. It is a lesson in friendship and not the thesis of a scholar. When Naomi besought her two daughters-in-law to go to their people and to homes of luxury and leave her, an old woman, in her poverty and misery to her sad fate, then came the test of friendship. Orpah went away, but Ruth remained with Naomi, and was rapidly and amply paid for her devotion and friendship, for when they returned to Judah, Ruth's conduct was wrought into her daily life and as she went about with purity of purpose, gleaning the fields behind the reapers for grain upon which she and Naomi subsisted, she gained favor with a rich man by the name of Boaz, whom she afterwards married and was able to care for Naomi handsomely, and was honored as the mother of a great line. It matters little how much fact there may be in the tale supposed to be historical, and how much there is allegorical. In either case the lesson in friendship remains. It is easy to weep with those who weep. It is easy to mourn with those who mourn, and to kiss them and pour out words of sympathy from lips only. The test comes when you are willing to make sacrifices and go with those who mourn, go with those who are bowed and burdened with the cares of life, and help them to carry their burdens, giving them real consolation and cheer. It is not related that Orpah was a bad or heartless woman, but she fell short of one virtue possessed by Ruth. She was, as many are today, ready with tears and caresses, but she was not willing to share the hardships and tread the thorny path with Naomi. It was Ruth who said: "Thy people shall be my people and thy God shall be my God." This meant more than it now appears to the casual observer. The daughters-in-law were members of the tribe of Moab and in those times of tribal relations the religious belief of one tribe might mean heresy across the line with another tribe. Ruth did not know what sacrifices she was making or what she was embracing for the love she bore for Naomi. She was willing to accept blindly and lovingly whatever might await her. The world today may well take a lesson in friendship from Ruth of old. People talk of friendsnip, and they are ready enough with superficial sympathy and crocodile tears, but they are none the less selfish. Each person looks out for his or her welfare and few are concerned about the distressing condition of their neighbors. "Entreat me not to leave thee," said the widowed Ruth., while a home filled with welcome and luxury awaited her. She could have left Naomi and perhaps, as Orpah did, gone her way with her conscience clear. But --- TERMS.

COLORADO & SOUTHERN L COLORADO & SOUTHERN LINES the tie of affection bound her—she felt it drawing her on and had no desire to break it. Often the profession of friendship is hollow. But Ruth's was as sincere as it was beautiful. Hers was a friendship ready for duty and sacrifice. And yet Ruth was but a simple hearted woman. She was not inspired with the idea that she had a mission to perform to the universe. She was not expecting that her devotion would be a matter of record for the world. Without thought beyond the conviction that her duty was with Naomi, she set a pattern which would be well to follow. To follow it would be to make the world better and happier, because to have friends, and to be assured that their friendship is real, strengthens hope and stimulates endeavor in mankind. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.— Luke 6:31. French Dry and Steam Cleaning; Hat Cleaning our specialty. All of my help is on the job.
