It Will Require Every Effort of Every One to Properly Entertain the Educational Congress. Make a Beginning at Once by Mailing to 1014 19th St. or phoning Main 1070 Your Lodging Accomodations FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS Local Entertainment Committee Addresses the People of Denver Twenty-Second Year NEGRO NATION EDUCA Local Entertainment dresses the Pe The Negro Educational Congress, which opens its sessions in the Auditorium in this city on August 12, one week from today, is easily the greatest meeting of the race ever held so far west. It rivals in importance meetings held in the Missouri and Mississippi river valleys. It will be composed of some of the best brain in the race and the wealth, culture and refinement which they will represent cannot but leave an impress on this community, in addition to the uplift it will give to race progress everywhere. Dispatches recently received from Oklahoma give the full list of delegates, many of whom are men long identified with the progress of the race in that state, lawyers, preachers and business men. Then too there are some business women coming, women who conduct millinery and dry goods stores that would be a credit to Chicago or St. Louis. From Bole there is coming a special representative. Bole, be it remembered, is the famous Negro town of Oklahoma. A similar gratifying state of affairs prevails in Mississippi. The delegation from that state is one hundred strong. The importance of the congress is so deeply considered in that state that in addition to the regular delegation, special representatives are being sent. Mound Bayou, the Negro town and colony long exploited by Booker T. Washington, heads the list of special representatives, sending Dr. A. A. Cosy. Dr. Cosy, who will come by authority of the town council, is the chief grand mentor of the International Order of Twelve in that state and a man of large business capacity. The Missouri delegation will possibly be the largest. It will bring some of the brightest minds in the state. From the indications in the hands of the committee on local entertainment, 1,000 visitors to this city and to the congress is a conservative estimate. The number may run double that. The work of the committee on entertainment has not been generally understood. Some persons have grasped the idea that Denver was being called upon to entertain the delegates, making no charge for board or lodging. This is erroneous. Fully ten thousand dollars will be left in this city by the visitors, spent for the necessities of life. Besides that an immense amount will be spent in sightseeing and the like. The committee is in need of homes for all these people, as hotel accommodations are not open to them. Those persons who leave their addresses and other information at headquarters will have assigned to them as many persons as they can accommodate. The committee issued the following public statement, which bears out the explanation above given. Next Saturday, August 12, there will convene in Denver the National Negro Educational Congress. This body will have a great aggregation of educators, lawyers, physicians, farmers, preachers, bankers and business men and women of every kind. They have beer invited to meet in Denver and are coming with the expectation of a royal reception by all the citizens, white and colored. This is the first time that a gathering of so many men and women of a national reputation belonging to our people have come to our city. And of course it goes without saying that we ought to put forth every effort to make their stay in our city a pleasant and profitable one. This cannot be done unless every one will take it upon himself to help in the entertainment of these visitors. The reputation of the colored citizens of Denver is at stake and the manner with which we take care of them will reflect upon us great credit or discredit. We should make every sacrifice to see to it that the delegates shall be provided with abundant and sufficient accommodations. For fear that some one may have the idea that this is a gathering in which the delegates are expecting free accommodations, we wish to say with all the emphasis possible that the members of this congress are paying for their rooms and board. We have on our list a great many rooms, but we are still short of as many as we need, and we now urge everybody who has a spare room or bed to notify us so that we can readily and without extra trouble assign the delegates to their quarters as soon as they reach the city. Do not wait till the delegates are here to list your rooms, but do so at once. Come to 1014 Nineteenth street or call up Main 1070 and give us your address, rooms and terms. J. W. JACKSON, Chairman. EDW. FOUNTAIN, Sec. REV. W. C. WILLIAMS. Local Committee. National attention will be focused on this state during the congress because of the presence here of Attorney W. H. Lewis of Massachusetts, who is now assistant attorney general of the United States. The fact that his position is the highest ever given any Negro in this country makes it clear that he is a man of parts. In addition, he will come as the special representative of the president. This official recognition of the worth of the congress will make it a marked meeting. Denver is honored by the coming of the congress and should do its self honor in its treatment of it. 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. The usual allowance per day will be made. register at once that the committee may be prepared to assign the visitors as fast as they arrive. WHICH? The girls' champion drill team on Aetna Camp U. R.

Young of Leadville will be in the city next week to participate in the sessions of the Masonic Grand Lodge. This Grand Lodge session will be one of the largest in the history of the jurisdiction. Delegates will be in attendance from all parts of the jurisdiction. It is not possible to forecast what the outcome of the session will be, but important legislation relative to relief fund benefits is expected, which alone with the election of officers will suffice to make its meeting very important for the Masonic fraternity. On Thursday night at East Turner hall the public will have an opportunity to meet the new officers and the Grand Lodge delegates. There will also be music and a general good time.

The annual meeting of the above association completed its work after several adjourned sessions. At the last session there were twenty members present, either by legal proxy or in person, and the election for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, W. A. Jones, M. D. First vice president, P. E. Spratlin, A. M., M. D. Second vice president, Greene Eubanks. Secretary, Eugene R. Reeves Treasurer, Jordan S. White. Superintendent, C. W. Buford. Financial agent, Mrs. E. P. Ensley. Directors, Wesley Lyons, Madame T. D. Perkins. The annual address of the retiring president, Dr. P. E. Spratin, which was read at one of the sessions, was ordered published in our weekly paper and will appear soon. The annual report of Superintendent Buford showed activity with prospects of definite results in the near future. The report of the secretary and treasurer was not full because of the absence of and the condition of the records of the former se retary. But deducting expenses for printing advertising matter and the expenses of incorporation, there was a balance of seventy dollars in the treasury. Most of this money except what was contributed by the individual members of the board (amounting to nearly ten dollars each) was secured through the personal effort of our financial agent, Mrs. Ensley, then acting in a temporary capacity and laboring under great disadvantage. She deserves much credit under the conditions and the people who had sufficient faith in the effort in that stage of its development to help are the foundation of whatever success the institution may have in the future and we thank them in the name of humanity most heartily. During the past fiscal year many honest efforts were made to secure a proper location for our institution, most of them being unsuccessful largely for want of means. The association is glad to announce now that this handicap is removed. By perseverance and the kindness of Providence the officers have been able to make a most happy combination of forces resulting in the securing of a most desirable location for the development of an institution of which Denver and every one who contributes to its support may be proud. The property consists of a full pressed brick three story thirteen-room house with full basement and with all modern improvements, including electric lights, furnace, hot and cold water in each room on the second floor. It is on a six-lot corner with shade trees, outhouses and plenty of ground for tents as conditions may demand. It is located just four short blocks from a OUR PREMIUM OFFER! OUR PREMIUM OFFER! HERE'S A TREAT THAT IS A TREAT. The Statesman is not going to be outdone by any paper, even the great dailies, in the advantages which it will give to its subscribers. In order to keep pace with the premium idea which is the rage nowadays, it has contracted with one of the great chinaware companies for a number of sets of china, dinner sets, 31 pieces, made of all English clay, latest designs, guaranteed goods that far excel the sets generally offered at double the price in stores. We mean to make the terms such that every housekeeper can get these, and where money is not handy for that purpose we are going to present them as our free gift in return for a little interest in The Statesman. Listen to the terms. To every subscriber who renews his subscription for one year in advance (back indebtedness paid up) at the rate of $1.50. This set costs $2.50.

It was formerly known as the Mount View hospital and has been run for some months under the competent management of Mrs. Clara Osada, a woman of fine German stock, born and reared in Denver and trained as a professional nurse and has had several years experience in private nursing and institutional management. Hence she is well acquainted with local conditions and the general needs of sanitarium and hospital work. Under the articles of agreement, Mrs. Osada will continue as head nurse for the time and will give us the benefit of her excellent judgment and her professional training and experience. About a year ago she had the building newly painted and decorated throughout and put in thoroughly sanitary condition at her own expense, thereby making provisions to take care of all classes of cases except the highly contagious ones. She has a state license which she will transfer to the association at the earliest convenient time. Her work in the running of the institution has been very favorably commented upon by the state board of health. The institution has a small, well equipped operating room and fine, large, well lighted and well ventilated private rooms for general hospital purposes, and the Negro is fortunate in being able to have the management of such an institution to come under its control through the Lincoln-Douglass association. At an early date the board of directors will meet and appoint a staff of our own physicians and surgeons, with a large consulting staff of the best obtainable specialists in the city. We are planning to have also a large advisory board made up of leading men and women from all walks of life and from all parts of the country, who shall give counsel as to the best ways and means of making the institution most serviceable to humanity in general and the race in particular. We cordially invite lodges, churches, women's clubs and other reputable organizations to confer with us for representation on this board and general council. We are new at running and the maintenance of such an institution and desire the advise, help and co-operation of all interested and benevolent individuals and organizations. We are going to succeed, however, by the co-operation of the people and the help of God. Mrs. E. P. Ensley, a cultured and refined woman whose heart is in the work, is our financial agent and we are looking forward to the coming fiscal year with faith and hope of success. To reach the institution, go to the end of the Larimer street car line (west) and walk west on Colfax avenue to Depew street.

Possibly the largest and most brilliant affair of the season was the reception given on last Thursday by Mrs. Cora Joseph to introduce her daughter, Miss Mosella Lillian. The Joseph home never looked more attractive than it did on this gala occasion. As the guests entered the parlor there were great bunches of tall and stately pink and white holly-hocks bowing them a welcome. From three to six there was a steady stream of ladies most charmingly gowned who called to wish Miss Mosella, a bright and happy future. Mrs. Joseph was becomingly gowned in black and white marquisette and wore lavender sweet peas. The debutante was never more charming than in her simple girlish gown of white, trimmed in baby Irish lace. She carried an arm load of roses, carnations and sweet peas sent to her by her many friends. After leaving the receiving line the ladies entered the dining room, which looked like dreamland in its decorations of pink and white. The serving table bore a beautiful centerpiece of a basket of sweet peas tied with a large tulle bow. The color scheme was carried out in the refreshments. A bevy of pretty girls served punch. Mrs. Joseph was ably assisted by the following ladies: Mesdames Cassells, Hubbard, ingram, H. G. Johnson, L. Lewis, Sprague, B. P. Johnson and Parks: Misses E. Jones, C. Barnes, M. Hubbard, E. Burns and C. Joseph. After a short rest the hostess prepared again to meet the young people, whom she had invited to spend the evening. No scene is ever more beautiful than youth in its free, happy state, tripping the light fantastic toe. At a late hour the young folks departed declaring Mrs. Joseph an ideal hostess and hoping that every day in life would be as happy for Miss Mosella as was this one. THE ALLIANCE NOTES.

Through persons who are in a position to know, information comes to us that Captain Chas. Young, commander of I Troop of the Ninth Cavalry and commander of the third squadron of the regiment, will be advanced to the rank of major in the fall. This will be the first time that a Negro has reached so high a position in the regular army of the United States in time of peace, excepting, of course, the advancement that has come to chaplains. Captain Young is a West Pointer, an Ohloan by birth, and a gentleman by practice whom the enlisted men honor anu respect. He is a scholar and a lover of the race whom all who know delight to see advance, for he believes in lifting as he climbs. FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention n Pages Four, nd Six BISHOP PARKS. The services at Shorter church on Sunday morning were heard by a full congregation. Bishop Parks was the principal speaker. The eloquent, forceful exposition of the gospel by this eminent divine found a responsive chord in the hearts of his hearers and the accessions to the church were many. This was Denver's first opportunity in a long time to hear Bishop Parks and it made the most of it. While here the bishop spoke to a Statesman representative of the coming general conference and made the prediction that the work of Rev. John Hurst, who is now financial secretary, would win for him one of the bishoprics. Three bishops are to be elected, two being vacated by death, and Bishop Salfer being stricken with illness. The Bishop's party has left the city and is proceeding to the Puget Sound conference. Rev. Hurst is helping the Bishop in his work by bearing part of the burden of preaching and lecturing. He spoke at Campbell church. Rev. Brown of Lawrence spoke at Shorter in the evening. CIRCUS HAS STRUCK ITS TENTS "I look out for your horses" was the watchword at Second and Filmore streets last week when Zion Baptist church conducted a 'steen ring circus on the property of Luther Walton Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The circus ground was laid out in a quadrangle with red, white and blue lights surrounding it. Booths were arranged on two opposite sides and at the end opposite the entrance was pitched a big tent in which were shown the aerial ballet, the Roman hippodrome, the wonderfully dexterous bareback sensations that delight the youthful heart, with all the finish and gusto of any performance. Barn num, Forepaugh and Ringling are reported to be preparing an injunction to prevent the ambitious Zionists from invading their field. The booths were as advertised, with sections representing the nations of the earth. While in the big tent Ring-master Gatewood cracked his whip amid a galaxy of talent. A feature of the circus was the ventriloquist work of Oscar Searight of Edgewater. He is only in his teens, but has finish. Both for the initiative he gave the circus and for the work which he did to make it a success, Luther Walton is receiving from the workers in the circus the largest measure of praise. Not only his individual efforts, but the help of his men who assist him in his plastering contracting, were given unstintingly to the circus. Members of the church assert that had the entertainment been only a bare financial success, it was well worth while because of the opportunity it gave for service to a large number of new blood in Zion. It has quickened their zeal and opened their eyes to what they can do unselfishly. But since it was a financial success, as well as a social success, everybody is jubilant. INSPECT THE MINISTERS HOME The Ministers' home which has been established at Colorado Springs for the benefit of the aged and infirm ministers of the A. M. E. connection is entertaining this week Bishop Parks of this Episcopal district, his daughter Miss Naomi; Dr. Hurst, secretary of the financial department of the church, and his wife; Rev. Ward, wife and daughter of this city. The Bishop went down Sunday afternoon soon after his sermon at Shorter church and the rest followed on Monday. Rev. and Mrs. Braxton have charge of the home. Methodist Church Holds Series of Great Meetings. DR. MASON HEADS COMMISSION Noted Churchmen and Educators Gather In Large Numbers In New Orleans to Take Part In Work of Extending the Benefits of the Denomination. New Orleans.-Like the ones just held in Baltimore and Atlanta, the third of the four great uplift conventions that are being held for the benefit of the 300,000 members of the race who belong to the Methodist Episcopal church opened auspiciously at the Pythian temple in this city Wednesday, Aug. 2. The convention has attracted prominent educators and church workers from all parts of the south, and every session has been replete with interest. At the opening session the chairman of the convention commission, Rev. Dr. Madison C. B. Mason, secretary of the Freedman's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church, delivered an address outlining its aims.

Welcoming addresses were delivered by Mayor Behrman, Rev. M. R. Dixon, Attorney R. C. Metoyer, Rev. E. D. Simms, Rev. W. R. Butler and Mis-Elyira Mason. The general themes at the convention were "The Salvation of the Youth," "The Investments of the Freedmen's Aid Society In the Education of the Race and Its Results," "The Education of the Race and the Endowment of our Institutions," "The Elevation of the Women of the Race and Religion In the Home" and "Social and Moral Reforms."

Berry, whose death occurred not long ago at Alexandria Bay. Thousand islands, is estimated at $100,000. Mr. Berry was a porter in the Thousand Island House for thirty-five years, during which time he made much extra money, which, together with his regular salary, he saved and invested wisely. He was widely known and highly respected by the white people of the community, as well as by members of his own race. NOTED LECTURER AND BIBLICIST How Dr. S. N. Vass Helps the Race Along Religious Lines. Success of Zealous Christian Pioneer Who Has Given Eighteen Years of Faithful Service Among Afro-Americans In Various Parts of the United States. Raleigh, N. C.-The Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass, general superintendent of the work of the American Baptist Publication Society For Colored People, is one of the most widely known and useful leaders of the race in this country. He is rendering a service to our people of the highest value. Dr. Vass believes that one of the best ways to help the race is to create an interest in the study of the Bible and to guide the people along proper lines in this study. He has the utmost confidence in the ability of the race to make good Y REV. DR. G. N. VASS. in the present and has no doubt at all of its future triumph over all obstacles. His one great effort is to inspire the race, and there is no means so powerful and successful to that end as the Bible. Dr. Vass has made a special study of the Scriptures and especially of the Old Testament. He delivers a series of lectures on the Old Testament, using maps and blackboard, starting at the very beginning, and he interprets the book with special reference to our people and their needs. In his hands the Bible becomes a guide to the race in its general life and to the individual in particular. Dr. Vass has had many years of experience as a Bible teacher in all parts of the United States. He knows what to talk about, and his lectures draw great crowds that follow up the course for a week or ten days at each place. He believes in the adaptability of the Old Testament to interest the most unconcerned. Interest in the Old Testament creates a desire for the New Testament. So he not only makes a speciality of the Old but also of the New Testament. The lesson of the one is to the race and that of the other is to the individual—the Old Testament for race consciousness and the New for individual responsibility. Dr. Vass believes that the situation of the race in this country is such that no one can handle it but God himself, and hence he presents the Bible to the race, and they seem to be accepting it more and more. Dr. Vass is not only a popular lecturer on the Bible, but he is also a normal expert. His aims are to show proper methods of study and then proper methods of teaching. He does neither of these abstractly, but illustrates his methods by at the same time imparting Bible knowledge. Dr. Vass is a Baptist and is supported in this work by the great American Baptist Publication society, but his lectures are not denominational. That the Negro race is the oldest of all the races of the world and that it was this race that first started civilization and organized permanent government in the world is the firm belief and teaching of Dr. S. N. Vass, noted Bible lecturer and scholar. His lectures are based upon the book of Genesis, as illustrated by renowned Bible authorities in the past and as confirmed by modern scholarship and archaeology. He identifies the Negro with the Ethiopian through Herodotus and the Ethiopian with the Cushite through Josephus. Profane history exploits the Ethiopian, and the Bible sets forth the claims of the same race under the name Cushite, showing it to be the first of all the world civilizers. No one can hear him lecture and not share with him a firm conviction that his views are entirely correct and scholarly. Dr. Vass has had eighteen years' experience in his work, traveling all over the United States, lecturing at strategic points where the influence is liable to radiate and cause others to take up the same work. He is the general superintendent of all the Negro work of the American Baptist Publication society and is the connecting link between the Negro and the white Baptists. THE STATESMAN—2 How Colored Americans Have Indi- rectly Aided National Unity Rectly Aided Nation's Uplift. Speaking of the contribution of the colored race to American civilization, Lawyer B. S. Smith of Minneapolis, Minn., says: "Without the Negro John Brown could not have shown the world that 'one drop of humanity makes all men kin.' his absence from the republic and the world would not have known Abraham Lincoln, the power of his intellect, the tenderness of his heart nor the sweetness of his soul; without him there would have been no Gettysburg, no Grant, no Lee, no Appomattox. "Harriet Beecher Stowe could not have shown the world by drama the slightest inkling of the crime of slavery, the great Sumner could not have shown the world his unbounded love for humanity, nor would we have learned the Golden Rule from Garrison and Phillips without him. Douglass could not have demonstrated there was eloquence in the Negro race, nor Toussaint L'Ouverture that he is brave and possesses the innate powers of statesmanship. "Booker T. Washington could not have demonstrated his constructive and executive powers, nor could that fearless champion and scholar, W. E. B. DuBois, have shown that he is capable of the highest intellectual developments—that his ideals are those of the most advanced races and that he will be content with nothing short of full manhood rights and privileges wheresoever he may dwell."

M. Lewey, I am hoping they will take some step to direct the attention of the readers of our papers and magazines to the value of reading the advertising columns. Some plan of this sort carefully worked out would cer- tainly receive the enthusiastic support of the press and the * business men of the race. “More than one advertiser has told me of his disappointment in results from advertising. Now, either the merchant's advertising copy was poorly written or the readers of the medium which he selected were not responsive. Both of these conditions are of- ten noted. Advertisements that appear in our papers must be in- teresting and instructive wheth- er they are inserted for general publicity or for creating and holding trade. “In answer to my question why the standard advertisers of _ the country did not use the col- umns of our papers more large- ly along with white papers the advertising manager of a reli- able concern replied: ‘Your peo- ple must read more. When they do this then you may expect larger recognition from standard advertising agencies.'” SHREWD BUSINESS MOVE. Editor Wright Saves A. M. E. Book Concern From Sheriff's Hammer. Philadelphia, Pa.—The book concern of the A. M. E. church, the oldest de- partment of that church and the old- est corporation now in existence among Afro-Americans, was saved from extinction by the prompt action of Dr. R R Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder. ‘The sheriff bad Posted a notice on the windows. ‘The date of sale was to be July 19. ‘The committee of bishops who met refused to take any action to save the concern. The president of the board. Bishop W. J. Gaines, was in favor of eelling out the old landmark. The committee which took charge of the business two years ago offered no re Uef, although a sale would have meant the wiping out of existence the cor- porate name which has stood since 1855. The Philadelphia preachers’ meeting had discussed the matter and deplored the situation, but was unable to raise the money, when Dr. R. R. Wright made a proposition to them to give $250 if ten others would give $125. But no one responded. Tben Wright went to the lawyer, paid $1,800 cash out of bis own pocket, had the judg- ment assigned. the sale stopped, and today the book concern of the A. M. E. church goes merrtiy on. Baptist Convention's Wise Choice. The New England Baptist mission ary convention made no mistake by selecting the Rev. Dr. William A. ‘Creditt of Philadelphia as its execu tive head. By education, experience. racial and denominational interest he is abundantly qualified’ to guide the destinies of that great religious body in its continued increasing responsi bilities and nsefulness to Its members The crowth of the convention for the Past three years bas been wonderful It is Dr. Creditt’s aim this year to de velop every rusource the organization has to meer the demands for a more definite work along all lines within the Jurmdiction ef the convention.

Stick to Your Bush In last week's Statesman we undertook to call attention to the urgent need of Negroes depending upon reason rather than upon mere sentiment if they would make progress in industrial life. This week we wish to emphasize the desirability of persisting in one's trade or profession even over difficulties. In the news columns of this paper are two articles, the one about the Negro colony near -Akron, the other about the completed arrangements for the care of colored consumptive patients at the Mount View hospital by the Lincoln-Douglass Association, which are illustrative of the certain success of endeavor which is well directed and long sustained. Our observation provides other illustrations of the advantage which lies in sticking to one's bush. It is the one most unfortunate feature of the proscription which colored people endure in this country, that when we have achieved an education, practiced honesty, maintained character and then get the rudiments of a trade or profession, that the way is not yet open for us to continue to follow it as a life's work. Where opportunity unfolds for the white person similarly equipped, the black man or woman must accept an inferior wage for the same work if perchance he is fortunate to secure employment at all. It is therefore natural that many should choose the easier way to live and give up the calling they had chosen and accept the class of work which custom has assigned to our race. We can see how they are thus disposed to yield ambition to expediency, yet we believe that such a course is simply shifting the day of disaster till later in life, when growing years will cempel the worker to make the worse fight against conditions. In the first place, if adverse conditions continue to drive Negroes into a few lines of work, the labor supply will soon exceed the demand and all will suffer loss of wages. That holds true in addition to the fact that the lines easily open to us are the poorest paid already. They are the lines in which invention is continually displacing labor, where foreign immigrants are already gaining a foothold, where hours are worst and conditions most undesirable. We should resist with all our might the pressure exerted to drive us down and hold us away from the work which is our ambition. The more we acquiesce in this em embargo laid by prejudice, the weaker grows our will, the less our fitness for more skilled work, the less our confidence in our own ability and at the same time the barriers against us will grow higher and the custom more set. Sporadic efforts at overcoming the impediments to our industrial progress are hopeless. We must fight every inch of the way—fight continually and with all the brain power we can command. In the industrial warfare being waged there is no quarter and no let up. Mere brawn does not win. The Negro workman expects in the outset to be hampered by his color, he expects the smaller wage, he knows he must deliver the greater service. Let him do this and know that it is inevitable that his superior power in production will finally overcome prejudice. If he tries momentarily and sporadically, he does not do himself justice, for efficiency is a growth begotten of practice; and no workman, no matter how well trained in the principles of his trade, can equal his best effort after a period of idleness or change of occupation. If he does not stick to his bush, even though at a sacrifice for a time, he confesses lack of confidence to meet competition and begets in possible employers the fear that he will not stand the test. Let us illustrate: The Negro who is a waiter is the better for keeping at his trade. There his ambition lies and to it he gives his best endeavor. The lawyer who gets into financial difficulties and takes up table waiting as the easier way to earn a living, feels superior to his work, slights it because he feels that it is only temporary, makes the mistakes which are the result of inexperience, all to his own disadvantage. Worst of all, his unsatisfactory service reflects discredit upon colored waiters in general and sooner or later competent colored waiters are let out of hotels because of the amateurs to whom that class of work is the easier way. The reverse proposition is equally true. The waiter who sees easy money in police court practice brings reproach upon all colored lawyers. It is every man to his trade. No matter how long the night or dark the way, if he will work and will plan he will reach the highest attainable prestige and position. He will set a standard which his children can follow after, and they in some degree benefited by the start he has given them, can advance still higher.

From time to time contributions are offered to this paper which by the very weight of publication in print will place a stumbling block in some one's way for better living. It matters not whether they be true or untrue, it is the consistent policy of this paper to refuse them. Those who have erred have the right to every assistance to reform. Those who are merely the victims of untruthful, malicious assault should be spared the burden of a load of scandal. The Statesman wishes it understood with all the emphasis possible that it refuses all contributions which are more or less thinly veiled attempts to besmirch the character of anyone. The editor feels that even his own enemies deserve better treatment than public reproof in this paper; and whether white or black, man or woman, every one may rest secure against libelous attack or insinuation by anyone in the Statesman. In matters of public policy this paper holds open the door. Those who differ with us have as good opportunity for the declaration of their ideas as we give ourselves. We permit our Democratic opponents the use of space on the same terms we give it to our Republican supporters, for instance. But the Statesman is no school for scandal and those who wish to use us for the settlement of their private hatreds will be disappointed. When our open door policy is misunderstood and attempt is made to hold us responsible for the views of others expressed over their signatures, we smile. We are satisfied that intelligence is not misled as to our position. CITY NEWS. Bert Ellis and father went over the Moffat road Sunday.

In Kansas City on Saturday there occurred the marriage of Miss Marguerite Rothwell and Ciaude Robinson. They will make their home in this city at Fourteenth and Kearney streets. Norval Stone and wife spent last week in Colorado Springs. Five Points was considerably excited last week by the accusation of Mrs. R. C. Dunkin, who is connected with the moving picture show there, that three colored boys had insulted her while in front of the show building. The three boys accused were Ray Crummer, young Mayo and a third who is unknown. Her accusation was that they had smiled at her while they were passing along and had spoken to her. Upon being questioned the boys denied the charge and asserted that they were innocent. The following day, with a considerable display of force, with the use of clubs and amid revolver shots, the two boys were arrested. When the case came to trial Lawyer Townsend defended them and they were acquitted and discharged. The circumstances of the arrest of boys yet in their teens on such a charge and the manner of arrest aroused considerable excitement and indignation in the neighborhood. Mr. Jas. E. Travick and Mrs. J. R. Contee pointed out the places of interest to Mrs. Thos. Cole and her charming daughter, Miss Madalina, Saturday. The ladies are from Los Angeles en route to their old home in Detroit for a three months visit.

The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Sprague was the scene of this elaborate party and reception. The handsome furnishings were set off in gay party attire of electric light shadings, flowers and palms, cut glass and silverware and prettily dressed girls serving dainty and delicious refreshments, contributed much to the elegance of the occasion. Denver's ultra exclusive set and society in general were there all in evening clothes and delightfully sociable. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were the ideal host and hostess. Assisting them in receiving were Mesdames E. P. Ensley, O. T. Jackson, R. K. Depriest and P. E. Spratlin. Mrs. Chas. Smitha poured coffee, Mrs. Wm. Sprague cut the cream and the Misses Carrie Joseph, Senora Finley, Ethel Burns, Margaret Jackson Eva Cooper, Charlotte Ensley and Mosella Joseph served refreshments.

To the many old residents of Denver the death of Mrs. M. ». Fields came more in the nature of a personal loss than fs usual. Being the widow of a former pastor of Zion Haptist church, she had numerous friends in that church and they, with others, filled the auditorium on Tuesday afternoon at her funeral. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Over, assisted by Rev. Ford. The presence of the latter reminded many of the fact that it was he who preached the funeral of her son Junius, who had been her support up until his death a few years ago. The love which was hers was evidenced in many ways, in her ill- ness and in death, The floral offer- ings were very beautiful. She was jaid to rest in Fairmont by Undertak- er _Lawhorn. Mrs. Fields was 55 years of age at her death and for over a year had suf- fered acutely with stomach troubte, and more or less for a number of years. An operation was resorted to in the hope of saving an otherwise hopeless case and she died almost im- mediately after. She had a number of relatives in this city and a mother living elsewhere. Of her immediate family she was the last, the husband and two sons preceding her. Mrs, Mott of Kansas City has been the guest of Mrs. A. M. Ward. Get your Sunday chicken dinner at 420 28th street.

LOYALTY OF STUDENTS NOTED Ascendancy of Professor John Hope to the Presidency of Well Known Southern School Creates Era of Good Feeling-Diplomatic Move by Baptist Home Mission Society. Atlanta, Ga.—The remarkable influence of the Atlanta Baptist college, Mr. John Hope, president, serves to show in a peculiar manner his worth and his intense interest in the people among whom he works. Without calling too much attention to that fact, it cannot be denied that his election to the presidency of Atlanta Baptist college, as radical as it was in that he is the first colored man to be elected to the head of any of the home mission schools, was the beginning of a broader policy on the part of the American Baptist Home Mission society, and one that has endeared it very much to the colored people. Altanta Baptist college is an institution that can point to long and efficient service for the race. That service in preparing young men for high literary work is equally as important as any other training, and the service is performed in a manner that makes the college second to none in the south. Graduates from the college course who have gone to Chicago university have taken an A. B. degree in nine months, which alone argues much for its efficiency. Professor John Hope is a graduate of Worcester academy and Brown university. He got his education by hard work in much the same way as other colored boys have received theirs. He rose rapidly in his profession, was a teacher in a school at Nashville, later teacher in Atlanta, and when a change was necessary because of the resigna- M. B. PRESIDENT JOHN HOPE tion of Dr. George Sale, he was made president of the Atlanta Baptist college. Mr. Hope declares that the cordial support of the students and his teachers in the beginning of his administration was largely responsible for much of his success, and that for several years teachers worked under high pressure, conscious of the fact that the utmost exertions must be put forth to make the first colored man's administration a glowing success. As a result Atlanta Baptist college stands in the front rank among the colored schools in the south. Its boys are readily accepted in Atlanta homes and churches and commended for their gentlemanly deportment. One surprising feature in connection with the discipline of Atlanta Baptist college is the fact that it is very largely in the hands of the students themselves. A cabinet composed of the officers of the Y. M. C. A. and one member from each class control very largely the discipline among the students and exert a wholesome influence. On the faculty are some individuals from the very best schools of the country. Among them are Rev. Roy L. Van Deman. Franklin college and Rochester Theological seminary; Rev. C. Smith, University of Chicago; Rev. P. Johnson, Atlanta university; Samuel H. Archer, Colgate; Matthew W Bullock, Dartmouth; Charles H. Wardlaw, Atlanta Baptist and Columbia; Miss Claudia T. White, Spellman and Oberlin; Robert P. Watts, Virginia Union and Harvard; John T. Williams, Yale, Kansas State and Marquette Medical colleges; Miss Georgia M. Starr, Pottsdam Conservatory of Music; Mrs. Maggie Rogers Howard. Miss Wilhelmina Johnson, Miss Camilla Weems, Spellman; Mrs. D. E. Harvey, Roger Williams university; Alfred D. Jones, Howard Medical college, and others. The students for the most part make good, and as an example every graduate from the college department has secured good work. John W. Davis and Mordecal W. Johnson are members of Atlanta Baptist faculty; Phillip M. Davis, principal of one of the city schools, Birmingham, Ala.; Samuel A Owens, student in theology and assistant teacher; King D. Reddick and Victor C. Turner, teachers in Americus institute, and John H. Young, teacher in Lakeland, Fla.

SPORTS AND THE STAGE BY LEON PRYOR AL BRYAN & CO. Al Bryan, eccentric singing and dancing comedian, who created such a hit all through the East and South, has taken unto himself two partners who will be the rest of his company. The act is said to be one of class and has been booked solid on the Pantages circuit for 30 weeks, with Denver en route. MR. RUSSELL SMITH, COMPOSER. The young Negro song writer of note, Mr. Russell Smith, has composed another late song hit entitled "And Then I Might Be Wrong." The composition is meeting with much success and Mr. Smith is highly elated over the outcome of his late venture as a composer of coon songs. BIG LITTLE ED D. LEE. Formerly the manager of the Pekin theatre, Memphis, Tenn., Mr. Ed D. Lee is said to be operating the largest Negro theatre in the world at Church's Park, Memphis, Tenn., with a seating capacity of 2,000. Mr. Lee is playing stock and big vaudeville and the undertaking so far has been one big success. PUGH & JUGH. This is a pair with funny names, and I guess they need them. From all reports they are about the funniest team in vaudeville. Their work is the kind that everybody likes and that is fast, witty and clever comedy. The team of Pugh & Jugh are playing the Joel circuit and nothing is left undone. JIM THOMAS SOME BUSTER Jim Thomas, a colored cowboy of this state, is certainly holding his own with the gang of riders who are entertaining down at the Springs this week. Thomas has rode some of the worst outlaw horses in the country and is considered one of the cleverest negro cow punchers in the land. Thomas also won a fifty-yard foot race with Fonte, the fastest Indian runner of the Ute tribe, and as a lariat thrower Thomas is at home with the best in the business, and on the whole he is everything when it comes to putting it in the wild West style. He is a brother to Prof. Bud Thomas of this city. JENNETTE AND ROSS FIGHT A DRAW. New York.—Tommy Ross, the Newcastle, Pa., Italian fighter, had a shade the best of Joe Jennette, the clever Negro boxer, last Tuesday night in their ten-round go at the Twentieth Century Athletic club. Jennette did some very clever boxing but was in no condition to put his mat away inside of the ten rounds. PROF. BUD THOMAS WILL BE AT THE R. M. A. CLUB. Little Bud, the fast coming kid, will have charge of the gym. at the Rocky Mountain Athletic club from the middle of September. He will organize all kinds of classes, and now is your chance. In the hard contested game of ball played last Sunday morning between the University Bellmen and the Traffic club bellmen on the lot at Tirtieth and Champa streets, there was some very clever playing done on the part of the University team, crediting them at the close with a score of 22 to 10. The game was witnessed by a large crowd of both colored and white. Manager and Captain Eugene Andrews was one of the star players of the winning team, making some very sensational plays. The manager of the Traffic Club boys, Mr. Jimmie Banyon, says that he still thinks his team can win for a nice side bet. THE WEAVERS DUO. The Weavers, Eula Mae and J. J., styled the Invincible Duo of Quality, are at the Central theatre, Dallas, Tex., for an indefinite stay. As a team they are new to the theatrical world. But at that they are promising to make the old timers get up and go some. There is no use in talking, but that Bert Williams has certainly got it under the hat.

The first school for colored people in Missouri after the civil war was founded by J. Milton Turner in Kansas City in 1868. For a long time he taught without a fixed salary, as the school commissioners refused to make any urovision for him. Doors Which No Enemy Can Shut. There are many hindrances in the pathway of the aspiring colored man, but let it not be forgotten that there are open doors that no enemy can close, says the Washington National Union. In the professions, in the church, school, home and hundreds of industrial avenues we have a field for our highest activities. No one can prevent the blackest man from living a clean life. No one can rob us of the fruits of a Christian character nor the sweetness of lofty ideals. PERSONAL MENTION Harry Barnett, who underwent an operation, is improving.

COLORADO'S GREATEST COLO COLORADO'S GREATEST COLONY Even Colorado people do not realize that within our borders exists a colony of Negro farmers whose thrift and whose rise over difficulties are worthy of emulation and comment, equal to that of farmers in any section. Unlike the Negro colonies which have settled in the rain belts of the southern states, and where the methods of farming were those with which they were acquainted, the Colorado colony came from the old state of Virginia and here in Colorado in the dry farming section, have taken up homes, learned the methods which succeed here and have come into a competence with practically no money and certainly no experience. The colony is located near Akron, Colorado, a little over a hundred miles north of Denver on the Burlington route, the farms lying a few miles east of town and scattered for fifteen miles, sections and half sections having been homesteaded as the young folk came into their majority or others have been added by emigration from Virginia. Burrell Younger and his brother Sonie are the original settlers. The former reached Denver with $30 in the days when Colorado was presided over by Governor Cooper, and it was under his direction that they settled near Akron. According to Governor Cooper's advice, these brothers did not then bring their families with them, but imbued with that pi oner spirit which has made the West, they had left the old accustomed places and conditions and went out into the "great American desert" to make a home for their families. After a year, so hard did they work and so well were they rewarded, that their families joined them. Now their children and other families which joined them have brought the total of families up to 25. Their wells and windmills, their cattle and horses, their grain are typical of the best that the dry farming section of Colorado has produced, and their wealth and independence would be a joy to the eyes of all Negroes to see. One young homesteader, now only three years in the colony, has his place proved up and seven head of cattle, besides the usual farm implements. Sonie Younger has the finest span of horses in Washington county. Burrell Younger has 40 head of cattle after selling off a number. Mrs. Lillie Smith, to whom we are indebted for the information, says that the smoke houses, the chicken coops, the granarles and even the banks testify to a prosperity rivaling the best endeavor of any people of any section Most remarkable of all, and conclusive proof of the ennobling qualities of success, is the treatment the former Virginians receive at the hands of the people of Akron. Achievement marks the man and for the work they have done these sons of Africa are counted men in that city and section and treated as such. The quaint courtesy and manners of their old home mark their life still, but on it has been engrafted the strong, vigorous pioneer DO'S TEST COLONY spirit that is the glory of the West, the spirit which the West honors, no matter in what kind of man it is found. Mrs. Smith stayed in the colony for several days and there made a beginning of a mission which is to look after the spiritual welfare of the colonists. Akron and that section are best known to Denver and Colorado people as the home of H. G. Newsm and family. Mr. Newsm has for years been a dealer in land in that section, and this record of success goes far to show that his faith in that section is well founded. SAFEGUARD TO COMMUNITY. Southern Paper's Tribute to Manassas Colored Industrial School "The people of this section have settled the race problem in a commonsense way—by not having any problem to settle. "The conflicts that have occurred north, south, east and west between the two races only interest us here in an academic way. This is due to good sense and conservatism and the absence of the professional or political agitator. The man who would come here to foment discord and make trouble would be discountenanced and probably asked to leave town by leading men of both races. "Perhaps the strongest influence here among the colored people for good citizenship is the colored industrial school founded by the efforts of a southern colored woman and aided in its inception by southern white men. This school lays down the fundamental principle that society has no place for the loafer; that the world needs more work of the hands and less of the tongue to make good citizens. "Now financed almost wholly by northern men, the policy of the school remains unchanged, and teachers and students go quietly about their own business, always conducting themselves with the propriety of good citizens and never loafing or drinking or gambling. In discipline and work the school is really a model. "Native Virginians, many of them ex-Confederates, frequently visit the school and always comment favorably on the good order, industry and fine sanitary conditions existing about both farm and shops as well as the dormitories. Young colored girls are taught household work and the young men farming and craftsmanship, and both sexes are well taught. In addition they are given a good English education. "But, best of all, be it told to their credit, no matter how large the attendance may be at any of their public meetings, neither town nor country has ever found it necessary to appoint a single extra policeman or deputy sheriff, and nobody ever dreams of peril of either life or property in consequence of the presence of the school. The school itself, conducted in the manner in which it is, is a safeguard to both." KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TO MEET IN INDIANAPOLIS. Forecast of Program For Biennial Session of Supreme Lodge.
