State Historian & Natural History Society TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN ASSOCIATE OF THOMAS JEFFERSON J. E. Bruce Writes of Negro Who Was Rated a Man Before the War Twenty-Second Year ASSOCIATE OF THE JEH J. E. Bruce Writer Was Rated a Ma The Negro Society for Historical Research, recently organized at Lonked, has set out to collect books written by Negroes and about Negroes. Of the one hundred or more titles which it now owns, none is more valuable or interesting than the life of Julius Melbourne, with sketches of the lives of Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, John Randolph and other eminent American statesmen. Julius Melbourne was born a slave on a plantation ten miles from Raleigh, N. C., July 4, 1790. When he was three years of age he saw his mother seized and manacled by slave dealers and carried away to be sold, and he never saw her afterward. At five he was purchased by a rich English educated and subsequently gave him his freedom and at her death left him the residue of her fortune, some $20,000, which by careful investments he increased in a few years to $50,000. He married a beautiful slave girl who was gambled away by her master and sold into Louisiana. By her he had one child, a son (who was spared the cruel fate of his mother) to whom he gave a liberal education. Mr. Melbourne subsequently retired his wife to a suburb near New Orleans. She had run away from her master with the intention of committing suicide by jumping into the river. A good Quakeress passing the place in a carriage about that time halted her and asked her what she was going to do. To her Mrs. Melbourne told her sad story, with the result that the Quakeress advised her to leave part of her clothing on a small sapling near the river's edge so as to give the impression that she had really killed herself rather than remain a slave. She then took the girl to her home and metamorphosed her into a Quakeress who spoke no English—only Spanish—passing her as the daughter of a sister who had many years before married a Cuban gentleman. She was given suitable dresses for her new role and instructed how to play her part, which she did well. Dropping into a little meeting house one evening in the little town where he and his son were spending a few days, Mr. Melbourne as he entered saw a woman in a poke bonnet with a Hymn book in her hand giving out a hymn. Their eyes met and both were considerably agitated. He gazed at her long and wistfully and finally spoke her name. She turned pale, gave a piercing shriek and fell to the floor. "Mighty God!" exclaimed Mr. Melbourne. "It is—it is examined Mr. Melbourne. It is—it is—my Maria." And then, regardless of the proceedings of the meeting and everyone around him, he sprang toward her and raised her in his arms whom he had long believed to be dead. The scene was most affecting. Some time was required to revive Mrs. Melbourne who had swooned, and when she returned to consciousness her first words were, "There they come! Take care! Take care! There they come! Take me away! Where is my dagger? I will never go alive." She at length became calm; her inquiry after the return of her reason was for her boy. She was told that he was alive and well. Then she fell on her knees and poured forth a prayer of thanksgiving and praise. The family was finally reunited and soon after took up their abode in England, where Mr. Melbourne prospered and where his son entered into business as a partner in a commercial house. Mr. Melbourne wrote his book while living in England. It was published in Syracuse, N. Y., in 1851, passing through two editions. The Negro Society for Historical Research hopes to reprint this and other volumes of books by Negro authors now out of print, especially those of such a high order of literary excellence as Mr. Melbourne's book. in chapter 1, the author sets out on ```markdown ``` his tour to the north, meets with Mr. St. John at Norfolk, Va., visits Thomas Jefferson at Monticello, is a guest at a dinner party there with Chief Justice Marshall, Wm. Wirt, Samuel Dexter, Dr. Mitchell and elder Leland as fellow guests, and he makes a faithful record of the conversation of these noted men, on lawyers and the practice of law, state rights, the capacity of the African race and Negro slavery in the United States, which I will give in another article. TRAINING SCHOOL MAKES COMMENDABLE PROGRESS. Institution For Women and Girls Outgrows Present Quarters. The National Training School For Women and Girls, Lincoln heights, Washington, is growing by leaps and bounds. The institution is not quite two years old. The enrollment last year covered twenty-four states and four foreign countries. Applications are already coming in from most every section, and it is evident that Miss N. H. Burroughs will not have room unless the friends of education who realize the importance of a vocational school for our girls rally to her appeal for funds with which to put up another building. This, the president says, must be done, and done at once, or the management will be brought face to face with a most embarrassing situation. Washington is both a strategic and attractive educational center, and a school for colored girls is going to draw on every state in the Union. It is simply marvelous what has been done in these twenty months and certainly a forecast of a glorious future for the National Training school. The school has no endowment, and the trustees are now embarrassed for a lack of funds with which to put up a building and properly equip it for carrying on the splendid work of training for all kinds of service. This is the first effort on the part of colored women throughout the country to attempt to train those who are to help solve the many problems that are before us. They should be helped by every one who desires to see the race advance, for without a consecrated, trained womanhood serving well in the positions open to them it will be impossible for us to advance very rapidly. The school stands for the highest development of Christian womanhood. It stands for industry. It stands for intelligent and well trained workmen in every position. NEW MEMBER OF FACULTY. Beach School Sources Services of Miss Ruth, M. Peters. The Beach school in Savannah, Ga., which is carried on by the American Missionary association, has been very fortunate in securing the services of Miss Ruth M. Peters of Dorchester, Mass., as one of the faculty. This is indeed gratifying news to Afro-Americans, as Miss Peters will devote most of her time to the education of the less fortunate members of the race. She believes in a square deal and equal opportunity for humanity in general regardless of race or color. Miss Peters is a graduate of the Mather Grammar school, the Dorchester High school and Simmons college, having a degree of bachelor of science from the latter institution. She is also the author of several short stories and is well known in educational circles throughout the New Bedford states. DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. JULY 15. 1911 New England Baptist Convention Issues Statement. DENOUNCES JIMGROW LAWS. Religious Corporation In Annual Public Document Deplores the Prevalence of Lynching and All Forms of Discrimination on Account of Color. Subject For President's Message. Before adjourning its thirty-seventh annual meeting, recently held in Providence, R. I., the New England Baptist missionary convention adopted a strong set of resolutions, which were prepared by a special committee. The document voices the sentiments of the organization and is in part as follows: Through political blunders, flashes of economical disputes and famished stagnation of labor unions, class rule, digging at the eten of constitutional and political failing from among us we have come through another conventional year by the Ruler of nations. As the years that are gone, this has been one of gospel triumphs, happiness and REV. DR. W. B. REED. prosperity on the one hand, sadness, retrogression and national blunders on the other. God be praised for his goodness and long suffering! May he hasten the day when his gospel of love, peace and justice shall be lived as well as preached and taught throughout the land! Oppression, murder license, class rule by the lynch and demagogue, but mutilation of man and murder by seclusion and the slumbering of justice over these wrongs always result in sadness to the sufferers. We call the attention of the nation to the lynch and bullet riddle fad of the less civilized section of our country. There murder license is obtained by common consent, and the murderers are to be white and the murdered black. There demons have decreed that colored men must be beaten and murdered intojectibles be beaten and has decreed otherwise. The constitution safeguards that freedom of speech, and they will not hold their peace. Lynching is relied for more than one reason. In the first place, it gives evil politicians platform ammunition drawn from inexhaustible fountains of magnified liles. In the second place, it gives a host-tie press an opportunity not only to misrepresent us, but to do us great harm in many ways. By enlarging on those things which put the race in a bad light and for a remaining silent on those things in our faculty, we have fostered the cause of race prejudice, emboldened our cowardly persecutors and weakened the faith of many friends who seem not to see the injustice of the press. The recent Florida lynching may be cited as typical of the treatment accorded to the colored man. While this happy gathering of fiery demons might not have measured up in atrociousness to some that have gone before, it is wild enough to be used as an example. There six colored men were put to death, six men who in innocent, for men who are coerced, they are proved guilty. Those innocent men were murdered by those fiery demons on "suspected complicity." We commend those governors who have endeavored to punish delinquent officers for neglecting their duty. We hope the day will soon come when the governor of every state where this crime is resorted to will look at lynching as the most cowardly crime among civilized men and take a stand against it. We also hope that the president in search of recommendations to congress will call for legislation against the crime of crimes. We hope the attention to the awful jimrow rules of the south, to the brutally enforced to the humiliation of the race and the spread of crime against the intelligents. We know that jimrow can laws are institutional and cell upon manly men everywhere to resent them, for the constitution forbids racial discrimination. We regret that men who have to do with the enforcement of the constitution have bowed to the behest of these brazen violators for the sake of being held in the high esteem of men who are their eternal foes. Our country has been made great by sages and heroes whose great may ever be brazen pride to honest citizens through all ages to come. We look across our fair land with jealous pride at the slabs which mark the resting place of the Union soldiers, men who fought for the flag and for freedom, a flag and freedom fought for by men who stood for right. We stand today with those who stood for these, and we entreat the American people to be fair in the making of laws and the dispensing of justice. This was the balm of Lincoln when he went forth to bear the nation's wounds. W. B. Rhode Island, chairman; N. E. Spp. New York; W. P. Lawrence; N. W. Jersey; New York; W. P. Lawrence; W. N.

At the June meeting of the Lincoln Neighborhood club in Brooklyn the reports by the various committees show ed that the work has taken on new life during the past three months. Conditions among the less fortunate families in the crowded districts show signs of improvement under the able leadership of Mrs. M. C. Lawton, who is assisted in the work by an earnest set of coworkers. Political League to Meet in Boston. The next annual meeting of the National independent Political league will be held in Boston for three days beginning on Monday, Aug. 28. Much interest is being manifested in the coming session, as it is possibly the last annual gathering before the next national convention of the two great political parties. From present indications the meeting will be largely attended. PROFESSOR PAGE RETAINED. Continued as Head of University by Oklahoma State Educators. The state board of education of Oklahoma did itself proud by reappointing Professor Inman E. Page to the presidency of the Oklahoma University For Afro-Americans at its recent meeting. The institution is located in Langston, Okla., and has under the efficient management of President Inman E. Page for the past fourteen years become widely known. He is a graduate of Brown university and before going to Oklahoma fourteen years ago was president of the university for colored people in Jefferson City, Mo. Professor Page knows both the value of a classical as well as an industrial education and is thus well qualified to give his students the best training for which their mental qualifications call for. Because of the satisfactory work of the school it received a gold medal from the Jamestown (Va.) exposition a few years ago. Claude Garvin of Salina, Kansas, is in the city. Miss Lilly Hamilton left the city last week to visit points in Nebraska and California. Bert Ellis spent Saturday and Sunday in Colorado Springs visiting his sister, Mrs. E. L. French. His father is also visiting Mrs. French. Mrs. Minnie Williams, who died at the County hospital, was buried from the Douglass' undertaking parlors Monday. Miss Laura Mitchell, who has been making Salt Lake her home, is back here. Mrs. and Miss Hickey of Giddings, Texas, are spending the summer in Colorado, stopping with Mrs. Anderson of 2553 Clarkson street. Miss Hickey is a teacher. It will be of interest to Denver people to know that Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook of this city is visiting her brother, Dr. Trimble, of Brooklyn, is related through his wife to Rev. H. C. Bishop, whose work at St. Phillips' church in New York is the subject of a comment in this week's Crisis, edited by Dr. DuBois. FOR RENT—Two nicely furnished rooms at 3449 Welton street.

Under the auspices of the People's Sunday Alliance, a special meeting of the citizens of Denver is called to meet Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock to consider and devise ways and means of helping to secure a fair and lawful trial of Robert Harris, who is arraigned for the killing of the chief of police of Rocky Ford. No other business except what pertains to this case will be taken up. Everybody should be concerned in this case and should show their interest by their presence and their advice and help. It will be an open meeting and all will be privileged to speak under the broad rules of good decorum and common courtesy. Come and bring your neighbor and friend. 2630 Welton street is the place. The Statesman representative spent a while this week at the Mutual laundry. It is now open and running. To those who have heard of it as a business in contemplation and felt that it would not get beyond the stock selling stage, it would be a revelation to go to its quarters at 2540 Washington and see the flying belts, the whirling washers, extractors, and feel the heat from its ironers and boiler. So much of race enterprise is brag and bluff and so little of it real achievement; that it is no exaggeration to say for the Mutual laundry that it has surprised all. It has a huge washer, an extractor, starcher, steam and hot water boiler, huge tank, ironers for cuffs and collars, for body, for bosom, for wristbands, for neck bands, dryers in series, a mangler, and in fact the full equipment for a first class laundry. In addition, it has the facilities for doing such work as can best be done by hand. Thomas Cohen is manager of the business; M. S. Allen, superintendent; Mrs. O. T. Jackson, bookkeeper, and C. E. Langston is in charge of deliveries. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sloane are housekeeping at 2436 Emerson street. Mrs. Nancy Sloane returned to the city last week, after a visit to Illinois. Mrs. Ed Grice has returned to Denver after a stay in Ohio with relatives. Miss Mildred De Young and Mr. Clarence Little of Colorado Springs were recently married and came to Denver and were the guests of Mrs. S. A. Johnson, 208 York. Mrs. Johnson gave a grand reception for the bridal pair at the home of Mrs. N. R. Smith, 747 Grant. The house was beautifully decorated in carnations. Mrs. Johnson proved a fine hostess and moved about stately among her well selected guests, who were as follows: Mesdames Little, Smith, White side, Johnson, Misses Fanny Edmonds, Mary Martin. A. Linzy, G. Linzy, Knott, Reed, and Messrs. Little, Livingston, Ellis, Rogers, Smith, Ewing, Whiteside, Anderson, Arthur Smith, Johnson, N. R. Smith and Hew Smith. Miss Edmonds addressed the bridal pair in behalf of the hostess. She spoke some sound logic. In part, she said: "The first element of marriage happiness is mutual understanding between each other." The guests departed bidding farewell to the bridal party in gala revelry. The Carnation Art club had its last meeting with Mrs. J. L. Burnett, 3912 Larimer street. The day being election of officers, the following were elected: Mrs. W. C. Williams, president; Mrs. M. Phillips, vice president; Mrs. E. L. Henderson, secretary; Mrs. H. King, assistant secretary; Mrs. W. T. Fletcher, treasurer; Mrs. J. W. Mason, chaplain; Mrs. C. P. McKenzie, chairman of literary program. FIVE CENTS A COPY NATIONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Four, and Six NOTES OF ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. John E. Ford, D. D., former pastor of Zion, preached for us last Sunday morning and a great congregation was present to hear him, taxing the capacity of the house. Dr. Ford delivered a masterly sermon, to the joy of those who heard him. He left the city Tuesday evening to visit the Western convention at St. Joseph, Mo., and will return to Denver to spend the month of August. At a great meeting at the Shorten A. M. E. church last Sunday afternoon, Dr. H. H. Jones delivered a very instructive lecture on the "Best Methods of Evangelizing Liberia." Though the afternoon was warm, the congregation filled the auditorium and were greatly enthused with the message of Brothel Jones. He left the city this week for the West. After a tour of the cities of the coast, he will go east to sail in the month of November for Liberia, which he expects to make his home. The entire city has been blessed by his visit. Beginning next Sunday evening, the pastor will deliver a series of sermons from the parables of Jesus. The series will run through the remainder of the summer. The service will begin promptly at 7:55 and close at 9:00 o'clock. There will be special music by the choir. Plans are being carefully matured for our great fall rally to be held the second Sunday in September. This we hope to make the banner rally of our history. About $1,500.00 have been subscribed thus far, which we expect to reach $2,000.00 by the end of the month. Committees are busy at work planning for the Great carnival and midway to be given July 26, 27 and 28, at the home of Brother L. H. Walton, 162 Fillmore street. This is to be the most extravagant fun making entertainment ever given by any church in the city. No one can afford to miss it. Everything will be out of doors, which will greatly add to the pleasure and comfort these hot evenings. The annual picnic and egg hunt will be given this year at Dome Rock, up the beautiful Platte canon, about 30 miles from Denver. A more beautiful trip is not to be found in this vicinity. The price of $1.00 for the round trip makes it possible for all to take this day's outing. The fare for the children is 50 cents. Mrs. Over and Edna returned this week from Kansas City, where they were called by the death of her sister. Sections of the Ninth Cavalry are passing through the city this week en route back to Cheyenne, after several months spent in maneuvers at San Antonio. Among them was Young Miles, a former Denver boy, who stopped over to see friends and relatives. Mrs. Mary Roan will come to the city from Coffeyville, Kas., soon, accompanied by three other ladies. The Champion Drill Team Dramatic club will give a watermelon social Monday, July 24, 1911, at Rosie Brown, 2325 Blake. Everybody is invited. Come one, come all! The family of Prof. J. P. Starks of Dallas. Texas, is coming to the city soon. The children will attend Denver University. Mrs. Mabel Peoples of Omaha, Neb., is the guest of Mrs. Lee Jefferson for the summer. A. R. Jones, who spent his vacation in this city, has returned to his home in El Paso. ```markdown ``` SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS ON TIME Durham as Center of Education and Business Activity. SOCIAL EVENTS ON PROGRAM Second Term of National Religious Training Institution's Summer Session Starts Off Auspiciously—Many Sided Life of President S. L. Warren of the Chauaugaua Association. By GEORGE F. KING. Durham, N. C.-Never before in the history of educational work among the race in this state has a summer school begun with such an auspicious opening as the summer school and Chautauqua of the National Religious Training school, this city, on Wednesday, July 5. With a corps of instructors from the leading institutions and a number of the best lecturers of both races, teachers and preachers from nearly every state in the Union registered as students, the campus of the institution presents an animating scene. Every day since the school opened it has been visited by a number of distinguished visitors who were astounded at the development of the work and its farreaching scope. Prominent teachers and letters from various parts of the country have occasioned a series of social events which have made Durham for Afro-Americans a Mecca of intellectual and progressive activity. The school will be in session six weeks. Among the inspiring events of the first week was a series of lectures by Rev. Dr. Jesse L. Hurlburt of New Jersey, who enjoys the unique distinction of being one of the most authentic authorities on the Bible in America. Every evening the beautiful auditorium is filled with an audience composed of both races representing men and women of many vocations. Musicals are held weekly, affording some of the best talent in the race an opper- M. DR. S. L. WARREN. tunity to be heard and also to help others. The excellent location is picturesque, and the balmy breezes combine to the success of the second summer school and Chautauqua. The North Carolina Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental association, which convened in this city a few weeks ago, was followed by the opening of Dr. Shepard's great work and with the election of Dr. S. L. Warren of Durham to the office of president of this association. Durham has been given an extraordinary amount of ginger, so to speak. Dr. Warren has won the reputation of being a silent force, sending for a purpose which always achieves for good. He has the honor of being the first graduate of Kittrell college to graduate in medicine and, with Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham, is the oldest Afro-American physician in Durham. Modest and unassuming in character. Dr. Warren has contributed much to the progress of the profession among Afro-Americans. He is considered to be one of the wealthiest men of the race in North Carolina. This wealth has been acquired by judicious investments. His real estate holdings are large. In the exclusive section of the city Dr. Warren owns a palatial home which adds to the civic taste of the community. Other officers of the company are Messrs. R. B. Fitzgerald. George W. Powell and several other well known business men. Dr. Warren is vice president of the Mechanics and Farmers Savings Bank of Durham and president of the Enterprise Realty and Investment company. A large and well appointed office building, constructed of brick and located in the commercial part of the city, is owned by him and one Mr. Scarboro, an energetic business man. As head of the North Carolina Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental association, indications are that the plans adopted at its recent session will be very effective and beneficial. PREJUDICE AT ANN ARBOR. Lapsley Finally Placed on Track Team of Famous Institution. Ann Arbor. Mich.-Lapsley, a colored spinner, will be given a place on the University of Michigan track team this year. He is given place on the track team not because of his ability as an all round athlete and his fitness for just the work, for the working of color prejudice came very nearly beating him out of it. He is given his place by reason of the fact that two colored law students, seniors, interested themselves in his behalf and in behalf of justice and saw to it that justice was done. After repeated trials for place on the track team and Lapsley had outdistanced all his fellows he was compelled to run against the captain of the team, a record holder, who was likewise outdistanced. Fear of unpleasantness while the team is on the road, the inconvenience of having to provide separate hotel accommodations in some cities, was given as good reason why Lapsley should not be given place on the team. Richard Hill, Jr., a senior law student from Nashville, Tenn., with another law student, approached President Hutchins, who with Dean Reed, discussed the matter freely with the aggressive champions of fair play. The faculty, President Hutchins declared, was powerless to act in the matter, since the division of athletics was under direct control of the board of regents. The young men were referred to Mr. Bartieme, the head of the athletic department, who President Hutchins declared was a fair and square man. When approached by the young men with reference to Lapsley's case Mr. Bartleme expressed his intention to deal fairly in the matter and expressed sympathy with the colored students of Ann Arbor, who often suffered from the narrow mindedness and prejudice of the other students. He stated that the reason Lapsley had not been placed on the team before was more because of the conditions they would meet elsewhere than at Ann Arbor. Colored students at Ann Arbor are very much pleased with the result of the unsolicited action on the part of Mr. Hill and join more heartily in making him their racial hero. Mr. Hill was also elected recently as treasurer of the Jeffersonian society. PROFESSOR HUBERT MADE HEAD OF JACKSON COLLEGE He Is Eminently Fitted by Learning and Business Experience. Jackson, Miss.—In keeping with its policy of turning its large colored schools over to the management of the race as soon as practicable the American Baptist Home Mission society has recently named Professor Z. T. Hubert of Atlanta, Ga., as president of Jackson college. This fact, together with the installation of Professor John Hope as president of Atlanta Baptist college and the turning over of the new Roger Williams university to colored men, gives the society a warmer place in the hearts of our people in the south, whom it has for so long helped and educated. Professor Hubert, who is one of the most advanced representatives of the educated colored men, succeeded Dr. Luther G. Barrett, who was president for seventeen years. By his coming all the faculty in charge of the work of Jackson college will be Afro - Americans. The new president was born and reared in Georgia and understands thoroughly the economie and educes. PRESIDENT Z. T. HU- BERT. PRESIDENT Z. T. HU BENT. ouchly the economic and educational needs of his people. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Baptist college, the Massachusetts Agricultural college and Boston university. His experience as a teacher in the State Agricultural college of Florida and his long business connection with the home mission schools in Atlanta commended him to the society as the man peculiarly fitted to take up this work for the race in Mississippi. With a faculty of cultured men and women from the best schools in the country the graduates and students have every reason to feel assured that its former high standard will be maintained. In addressing a body of educators Professor Hubert said: "Co-operation should be the slogan of all the schools in the state of Mississippi for the education of colored youth. While each should have its particular field of activity, meeting such needs as its constituents demanded, yet they should fill a common purpose in the formation of Christian character by the unification of effort. "None of us can say that because we are colored, that because we have a colored president and a colored faculty at Jackson college, we ought to be appreciated by the people. It is only merit that counts. If we can show the people, if we can show the state, that we are worthy we will have their confidence. If not we deserve to fall." The Way to Make Good Citizenship. N. Barnett Dodson says the burden of the national government ought to be not how much race variety it can enlist into its citizenship, but how much citizenship it can put into the multiplicity of races seeking protection under the American form of government. Good Advice For Prohibitionists. Prohibitionists have been preaching the doctrine of cold water in Texas for a long time. The Dallas Express says it is against any more prohibition for the colored man. He is prohibited enough. What we want is to see a few prohibitions killed off. He is a great prohibition burden bearer. Why burden him further? His prohibitions are already greater than any other race would bear. Advice to prohibitionists: Don't trouble liquor and liquor will not trouble you. D. J.

B. Du Bois. The good influence and work of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People are rapidly spreading throughout the country. During the latter half of May Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, director of the public department of the association and editor of the Crisis, traveled thousands of miles and addressed thousands of people. Among the cities visited were Wheeling, W. Va., Cincinnati, St. Louis, Denver and Colorado Springs. Dr. Du Bois is now in London filling engagements prior to the meeting of the first universal race congress, which convenes on Tuesday, July 25. The distinguished scholar will be entertained at dinner by the Lyceum club in London on Monday, June 28. The club had arranged this function in honor of Dr. Du Bois in March. but as he could not be present it was put off until the time above mentioned. The races congress will continue four days. There will be several sessions held daily, affording opportunity for each race to be heard through its special representative. Dr. Du Bois will speak for the colored people of America. The gathering will be a notable one. Its object is already attracting worldwide attention. Over thirty American colored persons will be present at the sessions of the congress.

The coming of the Negro National Education Congress will be a great opportunity for Denver. This is the first great gathering of Negroes which it has been our privilege to entertain. While our city has an enviable reputation for hospitality for individuals, yet what it can do to entertain a great convention is not known. So it is that in the most literal sense Denver is on trial. Then, too, this convention will bring to the city men and women who are representative of their communities and the good impression they gather here will be passed on to their neighbors so that not merely for those whom we entertain, but for all the nation, we stand to win or lose. All this would be true if there was no possibility of Colorado and Denver becoming the adopted home of the delegates and their friends. But it happens that Colorado offers exceptional opportunity for the home seeker. Our best foot forward, our best treatment of our guests means not only that perfect courtesy which we should show them, but also the strongest invitation to come and cast their lot with us. Colorado's fertile plains and valleys can support a hundred thousand Negroes to their advantage and to the upbuilding of the state. it is up to Denver to plant the seed of removal here in their minds. With so much that is possible for us to accomplish, we believe it requires no argument to convince every citizen that he will have to take part in the entertainment of the Congress. Our experience in entertaining such a great body is limited. Therefore it will require the more energy and united action to overcome the mistakes which will doubtless be made. This is no time for halting support nor for procrastination. Where one worker drops a thread that will spoil the completed article, another must pick it up. St. Louis, Louisville, Kansas City and many other such cities know how to entertain great Negro gatherings. Denver does not, and must make its entry into the circle of the elect with as much grace and finish as possible. Let all persons who have been asked to serve on committees work as though on their efforts alone success depended. And let all others support them as Moses was. WELCOME TO THE UNITED BROTHERS. The Order of United Brothers is the product of entirely Negro brain. The Grand Lodge which has jurisdiction in Colorado has made of its opportunity such a success that the members here may well be proud of the achievements, as well as of the origin of the society. When it convenes in this city next Wednesday, its representatives will be men and women of such standing in their communities that their activities will be of interest to all the state. The Statesman bids them welcome to Denver and hopes that they will have a most profitable session. The Ministerial Union has taken cognizance of the action of Governor Shafroth in preventing a lynching last week in La Junta and has sent him the following letter: Denver, Colo., July 12, 1911. To His Excellency John F. Shafroth, Co. TO HIS EXECUTIVE Governor of Colorado, Denver, Colo. Sir: The Afro-American Mistiners' Union, assembled in their regular session, take this method of thanking you for the efforts used in preventing the mob from taking Bob Harris, charged with the murder of City Marshall Craigld of Rocky Ford. We feel that you have done your whole duty, for which we thank you out of the depths of our hearts and the researches of our souls, with the highest appreciation and respect. Respectfully submitted, AFRO-AMERICAN MINISTERS' UNION. REV. W. C. WILLIAMS, President. REV. A. E. EDWARDS, Secretary. ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE. "Twenty-one years ago I faced an awful death," writes H. B. Martin, Port Harrelson, S. C. "Doctors said I had consumption and the dreadful cough and I had looked like it, sure enough. I tried everything, I could hear of, for my cough, and was under the treatment of the best doctor in Georgetown. S. C., for a year, but could get no relief. A friend advised me to try Dr. King's New Discovery. I did so, and was completely cured. I feel that I owe my life to this great throat and lung cure." It's positively guaranteed for coughs, and all bronchial affections. 50c & $1.00. Trial bottle free at all druggists. FOR RENT—3-room modern, $10.00. Five Points Realty, 2603 Welton.

Contee has out invitations to a spinster tea in honor of Miss Robert Ann Barbee next Thursday. H. Bishop of St. Louis was in the city this week, en route to Glenwood Springs. His wife and daughter are expected in the city this week. Mrs. Esther Rice entertained at a house party Thursday of last week in honor of Mrs. Lottie Wiseman and Mrs. Smith of Cheyenne, Wyo. The usual social enjoyments, music and games, were a source of delight to the guests. A dainty collation was served. The Battenburg piece which won a prize for the Self Improvement club at the exhibit at the State Federation was the work of Mrs. J. R. Contee. F. Anderson of Kansas City, in the railway mail service, is coming into Denver and may make this headquarters if the routes are changed. Some persons are so useful to the public at large that their affairs concern everyone. Such is the case of Oglesvie Lawson, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lawson of Villa Park. This young man has just graduated from East Denver high school and desires to enter Northwestern University. In order to get the money to do this, he is giving a picnic at Bloomfield park on August 9. If ever there is such a thing as earning the public's assistance, Lawson has done so, and whether you go or not, buy a ticket to help him out. Every dollar spent on the education of such a young man comes back to the race and community a hundred fold. Rev. J. A. Thos.-Hazell, who is England, has remembered us with a post card of the coronation. THREE TO ONE. Not because we wish to make odious comparison, but to prevent misunderstandings that arise when we keep silent. The Statesman wishes to give its rates for advertising entertainments and the reason for them. By the line, inserted in the local news, advertising costs 5 cents. We have made a feature of entertainment advertisements, which are double column wide and six inches deep, and for these a uniform charge is made of $2.50 the first week and $2.00 for each week thereafter. These advertisements and all that are larger are given the best position in the paper, while smaller advertisements used for the same purpose, costing less in proportion, are given such other positions as remain when these have been placed. Therefore the six-inch double advertisement has been very profitable for entertainment givers and is almost universally used. It is inevitable that some persons will think this rate high and will draw that conclusion from rates given by other papers. We have no desire to injure our competition, but in justification of our own rates, which have been unchanged for the last six years, The Statesman offers to any and all persons interested the opportunity to investigate its Denver circulation. Come any Friday at 5 o'clock and see for yourself that we are delivering the papers we claim. We have made our rate as low as we can and live. Papers sending two and three hundred and claiming two and three thousand undoubtedly can make rates with which we cannot compete. But just as the larger amount costs the most, so the most circulation brings the larger result and is worth the most. The Statesman offers its circulation at any time in proof of its claim that it has three times the circulation of any colored paper in Denver. We hope this explanation of rates and conditions will set at rest the misrepresentations that have been used to confuse the public. AH! THE NEXT BIG THING!

Of this number 1,114 were young men, 221 of whom took agriculture as a trade. The advantages offered by the Agricultural Department of Tuskegee Institute are exceptional. The teaching is excellent, the latest improved implements are used and the very best ores of live stock are maintained. The following industries are offered: Farming, truck gardening, fruit growing, care and management of mules and horses, dairy husbandry, dairying, poultry raising, swine raising, beef production and slaughtering, canning and veterinary science. It is impossible for the institution to supply the demand for persons trained in agriculture. Applications come for persons to teach agriculture in various schools, while others are wanted to manage dairies, to oversee the work of a large plantation, to operate a truck farm. Good salaries are offered. The school farm consists of 2,400 acres; 1,000 acres of this land are under cultivation. In the farming division it is the plan to raise all foodstuffs as nearly as possible for the 1,200 head of live stock owned by the school. The young men in this divi- sion get a splendid opportunity in general farming and in the use of improved farm implements and intensive methods. Three and four crops are grown each year on our truck garden, in which there are eighty acres to grow vegetables for the school and town. This division has realized from $300 to $400 an acre on some of its garden land. The truck garden operates two vegetable wagons. Peaches, strawberries, grapes, pums, pears and figs are grown in the fruit growing division. Eighty acres are devoted to this kind of work. The division of care and management of horses and mules, has 172 head of stock under its charge which are used to do the work on the farm and the hauling of the school. The dairy husbandry division contains a herd of 212 head of cattle, which supply milk to the dairy, which is made into butter and cheese or sold as whi- or skim milk to the boarding department of the school, and to the town. Any young man with a purpose in view can secure an agricultural education at Tuskegee Institute at little expense to himself. or information as to courses of study, expenses, etc., letters should be addressed to Final Clearance Sale, 325 Trimmed and Tailored Hats, Seasons Best Style will be put on MONDAY MORNING, 8 A.M.

Normal, Academic and Industrial school, located at Keysville, Charlotte county, Va., are much gratified over the results of the past year's work of the institution. So eager were the young men and women of the rural districts surrounding the school to obtain an education that the number of applicants far exceeded the capacity of the school to accommodate all who desired entrance. An effort is now being made to raise $6,000 toward the erection of two dormitories and a chapel. The institution, besides being chartered by act of the Virginia legislature, also has the endorsement of Governor William Hodges Mann and a number of well known and influential citizens of Boydton, Va., the home town of the [Image of a man with a bald head and a suit jacket.

Mr. Pulley has done splendid work for the school during his brief administration. He is now on his northern tour, which will continue through the summer. On June 24 he received a letter of congratulation from Governor Mann for the brilliant record which he has made thus far. THE POINT OF LIMITATION. Manual Training Not the Only Hope For Colored Americans. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Those who father the idea that the only hope of colored Americans lies in manual training with a few institutions for higher learning are sadly mistaken. The history of the race since freedom is decidedly against such a theory. During the less than fifty years since the civil war the race has entered almost every avenue of business and commercial activity with a marked degree of success. In education and the professions the colored man has taken high rank. His hopes and aspirations are as lofty and as possible of accomplishment under the same circumstances and conditions as those of any other race. The individuals of any race who by ambition, self reliance and thrift make their way upward in education, business or in professional life are not the kind who --- Thirteen ON ZION ANNUAL S. S AND EGG DOME R THURSDAY, Round Trip: Adults Chi Train leaves De Thirteen Nests with Value AND EGG HUNT DOME ROCK THURSDAY, JULY 20th Round Trip: Adults $1.00 Children 50 cents place a low estimate on man's possi- bilities. The color of the skin is no criterion for brain development. The colored race in America will continue to go forward despite the advice of those who would like to see its progress retarded or confined to a certain kind of industry. New York's Foremost Race Journal. The Amsterdam News, less than a year and a half old, has gone steadily forward until it is now recognized as New York's foremost race journal, says the Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel. It stands for the people and believes in fair play for all interests. Its phenominal success is due to its broad and liberal policy and its stanch adherence to the right. The Negro will deserve the respect of the world in proportion as he supports such progressive organs as the Amsterdam News. ROOMS WANTED. The local entertainment committee which has in charge the entertainment of the delegates and visitors to the Negro Educational oCngress wishes the citizens of Denver who have sleeping accommodations to register their names and addresses with the secretary at 1014 19th street.

Since the number who would go might exceed the car capacity, application for a seat should be made to Mr. Cash at 2838 California or to Rev. W. C. Williams.

Last Sunday evening Shorter was honored by the presence of Prof. J. E. Fatterson of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, who delivered an excellent lecture upon the growth and development of the child, which was highly enjoyed by all present. The pastor will deliver a special sermon upon the educational work of the church Sunday morning, at which time a special offering will be taken for the Ward Hall Dormitory at Western University. In the evening the W. M. M. S. will have charge of the services at which time a special report of the School of Missions will be made and other special addresses will also be made.

The day passed off quietly nevertheless and the outdoor sports and dancing made a perfect day for those who attended. In the orchestra that played were the Morrison brothers of Boulder, who are crack musicians of that city. HO!

Mr. Peters keeps his school apreast of the times in the best methods and systems. He is thoroughly in accord with the young people and is willing to concede to their wishes along all right lines in carrying on the work of the school. Mrs. R. S. Peters is also a native of Providence, having been born June 22, 1847. She also has been a member of the Congdon street church for forty-four years.

It has been said so often that we must not stand around and complain, but must do something. I am glad to see so many of you present. This is a practical meeting and not a meeting for a display of oratory. "These are the man and women who are going to tell you the story of their success and how it has been achieved, and out of it we want to be able to inspire others. You come here to get new inspiration and to help others. That man is the happy man who is doing something for his fellow man.
