The Negroes of Colorado Should Appeal the Harris Case NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE Twenty-Second Year NATIONAL BUSI DR. WASHINGTON IS OPTIMISTIC He Sees An Encouraging Future in Many Industries. PREDICTS A RICH HARVEST. Telle National Negro Business League at Little Rock, Ark., of the Demand Fer Skilled Workmen—Declares the Organization Has Put a New Spirit Into Afro-Americana. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Little Rock, Ark.—Other features on the program at the session of the National Negro Business league at Kempner's theater, this city, on Wednesday evening, Aug. 16, besides Dr. Booker T. Washington's annual address were: "Negro School Building by Negroes." Dr. Joseph A. Booker, Little Rock, Ark: "Raising and Shipping Fruits and Poultry." J. W. Brown, Prospect, Tennessee. "Why I Am Called the 'Pickle King.' Samuel Ballton, Greenlaw, N. Y.; "My Success as a Horticulturist." Joseph Brown, Nashville, Tenn.; "My Success as a Wholesale Dealer In Grain, Hay and Fuel." J. E. Williams, Columbus, O.; "My Success as a Wholesale Dealer In Salt and Fresh Fish," N. W. Ryan, Edenton, N. C.; "Blacksmithing and Wheelwrighting." Isom Jefferson, Lexington, Miss. Dr. Washington received a perfect ovation when he arose to speak and had to wait several minutes before he could be heard, so great was the demonstration accorded him. When order was restored Dr. Washington spoke in part as follows: This session marks the twelfth year of the existence of the National Negro Business league. While it is among the youngest of our national organizations, I think we have just cause to feel proud of its growth, success and influence. Starting in a simple way, it has now grown to the point where it brings together at these annual meetings the strongest and best men and women of our race. In connection with the national organization there are new in existence about 600 local leagues, scattered throughout the United States. The peculiar value of the league, however, is not in the size of the national organization nor in the number of local leagues, but in the work and influence of the league in turning the attention of members of our race to the rich opportunity that is right about them in their own communities for industrial and business growth. The value of this league consists mainly in the new spirit that it has put into the race—a spirit that turns the impossible to the possible; from that which is artificial and unstable to that which is natural and enduring. The National Negro Business league, too, is unlike many other organizations in the fact that it is not a secret organization. It has no grips and no passwords and offers no sick and death benefits, nor is this in any sense a political organization. Let me add, too, that the Business league is not in opposition to any other organization that is meant to help our race, but stands ready to help and co-operate with all other worthy organizations. I am glad that we are holding this national meeting in the city of Little Rock and in the state of Arkansas. In no other state has the league from the very beginning been more loyal and active followers than in this state. From the first we have had the support and influence of that honored and successful man, J. E. Bush, and his comrades in Arkansas. For another reason I am glad that we have assembled in the state of Arkansas, because in few if any other states have the Negroes made greater progress, and there are few if any communities where the white citizens are more just in their treatment of the Negroes than is true of the city of Little Rock. The interest of the white people in the colored people of Little Rock is shown in the fine school system provided for our race and the numerous opportunities afforded our race to secure and to promote business and in- oquistial enterprises. Without firm and loyal white friends the Negro could not have made the progress that he has made in Little Rock and throughout the state. For a few minutes permit me to go into particulars as to the conditions and opportunities and the progress of our race in the state of Arkansas. Let me describe the state of Arkansas as an example of what is possible for the Negro in practically every one of our southern states, to say, nothing of opportunities that are open to us in northern and western states. I repeat that my experience and observation convince me that with few exceptions where the Negro is trying to live a decent life, is willing to work, to save money and to advance in all the fundamentals of life in all the rural communities, as elsewhere, white friends who are anxious and willing to encourage him. In Arkansas, for example, I find by the official records that there are about 400,900 Negroes; that they constitute about 27 per cent of the total population of the state. These 400,000 Negroes within forty-five years of freedom have accumulated taxable property in Arkansas to the amount of $20,500,004. According to the official records kept in your state, the coloured people in Arkansas paid in local and state taxes $431,000 toward the support of government in Arkansas during the past year. One of the objects of this National Negro Business league is to not only teach our race to get hold of things, but to hold on to these which interest us. Most of the cotton raised in Arkansas is produced by the hands of Negro farmers. I am safe in saying that the Negroes in Arkansas produced last year about $50,000 bales of cotton, valued at about $24,000,000. The question is, How much of this $24,000,000 remains in the hands of the race today and how much of it has been spent for things that we could have done without? The Negro farmers of Arkansas produced last year about 9,000,000 bushels of corn, valued at $5,000,000. The Negro farmers of Arkansas produced last year 188,000 bushels of oats, valued at $87,000. They produced last year about 48,000 bushels of wheat, valued at $46,000. They produced last year about 10,000 bushels of fruit and potatoes, valued at about $291,000. The total farm products of the colored farmers of Arkansas for 1810 amounted to $22,000,000. If we add to this what the colored people earned in other occupations, such as professional, domestic and personal service, trade, manufacturing and mechanical pursuits, the people of our race in this state earned at least $38,000,000 last year. The great question, then, is, How much of this wealth remains in our hands in Arkansas, how much of it has been put into land, how much into houses, how much into the bank, how much into the schools, how much into the churches and how much has gone in directions which calculated to make us stronger a more useful, intelligent, moral and religious race? Taking the southern states as a whole, I find that colored farmers last year produced $4,500,000 of bales of cotton, valued at about $11,000,000. Colored farmers in the south produced last year 150,000,000 bushels of corn, valued at about $800,000. How many of these millions of dollars today remain in our hands and how much has parted from us? The colored farmers of the south produced last year $4,500,000 bushels of oats, valued at over $2,000,000. They produced last year $500,000 bushels of wheat, valued at nearly $4,000,000, and $98,000,000 pounds of tobacco, valued at about $300,000. It is estimated that the total value of the farm products of colored farmers of the south last year amounted to $400,000,000. In addition to what was produced by the farmers, an am safe in saying that these engaged in the final distribution, maids is professional service, domestic and personal service and trade and manufacturing and mechanical pursuits, earned last year at least $300,000,000, making the total earnings of our race in the south alone something over $700,000,000. I repeat again and again that it is the duty of the Negro minister, the Negro teacher, the Negro business man, of the leaders of our race everywhere to see to it that a larger proportion of the tremendous amount earned by our race is invested in lands, houses, banks, schools, industrial institutions, colleges, churches, schools, and time in the possession of this generation and succeeding generations of 10 per cent only of our annual earnings were set aside for such investment as I have suggested the race would have every year $70,000,000 which would go into its permanent enrichment and enlightenment. There is another feature of race development to which I cannot fail to call your attention at this time. The measure of seeing to it that the youths of the race in a larger measure prepare themselves for service in the fundamental skilled trades. Too large a proportion of youths are content DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26. 1911 BACKBONE VERSUS WISHBONE While effort has been made through several channels to raise sufficient money to render possible the appeal of the Harris murder cases, up to this time there still remains a deficency. Believing that there are many persons who will be reached by a public entertainment who have given nothing, a committee has decided to give one and have set East Turner hall as the place and September 14 as the date. An effort will be made to interest all citizens in the movement, stress being placed upon the use to which the proceeds are to be put, rather than upon the return which will come to those who attend. The ladies are being importuned to organize and assist in the sale of tickets. People will do well to bear in mind that in the case of Robert Harris and his father, more than their lives and liberty is at stake, for the prosecution sought to establish and did succeed in getting the judge and jury to agree with them in it, that a man's home was not his castle free from molestation by any one, unless he came armed with a warrant. They further succeeded in stripping Harris of the defense which he should have had, that he was attacked and the shooting came after a scuffle; in other words, he is found guilty of first degree murder, premeditated murder, though no evidence was adduced to show such premeditation. These features of the Harris cases are far reachim in their consequences if allowed to stand. The appeal means more than the satisfaction of a sentiment Denver people need now to lay down the wombbone and take up their back bone. Let Harris have his appeal. If justice has been served, we should know it from the court of highest authority. If not—and there is every reason to think not—he should not be allowed to suffer injustice merely because he is a Negro. with little odd jobs or hand to mouth caulings. Too many of our young men are content to be mere waiters or Pullman car porters or tip takers in some easy position that carries little with it that is permanent and dependable in the way of laying a foundation for the present or the future. The whole southland is full of opportunities for skilled workmen at high wages. In Alabama, for example, there are colored men who are earning from $ to $ a day as bricklayers. In the Birmingham district of Alabama there are colored men who are earning from $ to $10 per day as skilled laborers in the various iron and steel manufacturing enterprises of that state. What I say of Alabama is true of other states. Without the least fear of exaggeration I found the employment can be found for 100 additional New York crafts, 300 Negro contractors, 100 more electrical engineers, 5,000 more bricklayers, 5,000 more carpenters, 600 more plumbers, 500 stationary engineers and 5,000 more skilled workers in the iron furnaces. This is to say nothing of at least 50,000 places awaiting skilled farmers, dalrymen, stock raisers and fruit growers. Attention before it is too late to our economic and industrial growth will enable the 10,000,000 members of our race in the United States to escape many of the pitfalls into which our race has fallen in Liberia, Haiti and elsewhere. Just in proportion as our race gives back to the development of its economic and industrial opportunities will away school, college, university and church be strengthened. Just in proportion as we seize hold of and use the tremendous economic and material opportunities that are at our door will every journalist, teacher, minister, lawyer and doctor share in the benefit and be strengthened. In all the respects to which I have referred and many others a rich and bountiful harvest awaits us as a race, and in proportion as we enter it we shall find friends and supporters among white people and supporters. Let us then awaize race everywhere turn our face from the setting sun of gloom and despair toward the rising sun of hope and determination. RACE HAS BRIGHT FUTURE Dr. Vass Strikes Optimistic Note In Great Atlanta Speech. Speaking in the auditorium at Atlanta, Ga., recently with Dr. Booker T. Washington and Dr. M. C. B. Mason, Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass of Raleigh, N. C., took occasion to refer to the glory of the Negro race in the early ages of the world, and all who heard him went away convinced that what he said was of the highest authority, and they agreed with him that the day would come when a historian like Myers would correct the very unhistorical statement in his work that Negroes have always been hewers of wood and drawers of water. Dr. Vass cited such evidence from the Bible, archaeology and philology as to convince all that he is not only a ripe scholar and able student of the Scriptures, but that what he claims is all very true, and the mammoth audi- ence of several thousands cheered wildly all through his very able and inspiring address. A large part of the audience was composed of white people. Dr. Booker T. Washington followed him and said he had no doubt that the race had a glorious history in the remote past, but that it has still a brighter outlook for the future. Dr. Vass is doing an untold amount of good for his people in lecturing all over the country on the Bible and showing the race that we were once a noble people of the earth, second to none on the globe, and that if we should learn the lesson God wishes us to know we shall surely one day return to our former glory and become a people even greater than ever before. Dr. Vass is supported in his work by the great American Baptist Publication society, and he is one of the very foremost leaders of the great Baptist church. Must Get Out and Dig to Win Success. Under the caption, "Get Out and Dig." the Portland (Ore.) Advocate says neither success nor good fortune will come to any one unless he gets out and digs. To remain idle and sit around and grumble about conditions will never aid any man in gaining the things that he most needs. Such practice weakens the character and unifies it for the pressing needs of the hour. THE ALLIANCE NOTES AND THE HARRIS CASES. The People's Sunday Alliance will meet the first Sunday in September to begin its fall and winter work and programs. The plan of compromised summer vacation, one regular meeting a month, has worked well and the call meetings for the Harris case were attended and resulted in material aid to that case. Watch this paper next week for details of the program for the first meeting in September. The financial statement of the Harris cases as given to the president of the Alliance is as follows: Previously reported ..... $111.18 From Zion Baptist Church ..... 29.84 From Shorter's A. M. E. church ..... 35.10 From Central Baptist church. From the citizens of Cripple Creek and Victor ..... 35.50 From S. H. Tarbert (solicited) ..... 2.50 From miscellaneous cash items ..... 2.07 Total to date.....$230.59 Much credit is due Attorney W. B. Townsend for his effective plea to the people through the various or- ganizations. Central Church raised $14 and' Scott Church $5.

Washington Principal Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee, Alabama ‘The enrollment at Tuskegee Insti- tute for the school year just closed ‘was 1,702. Of this number 1,114 were young men, 221 of whom took agri- culture as a trade. ‘The advantages offered by the Agri- cultural Department of Tuskegee In- stitute are exceptional. The teaching is excellent, the latest improved im- plements are used and the very best breeds of live stock are maintained. The following industries are of- tered: Farming, truck gardening, fruit growing, care and management of mules and horses, dairy husban- ary, dairying, poultry raising, swine raising, beet production and slaugh- tering, canning and veterinary sct- ence, 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 un- der cultivation. In the farming divi- sion it is the plan to raise all food- stuffs as nearly as possible for the 1,200 head of live stock owned by the echool. The young men in this divi- sion get a splendid opportunity in general farming and in the use of im. proved 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 jand. The truck garden operates two vegetable wagons. Peaches, strawberries, _ grapes, piums, pears and figs are grown in the fruit growing division. Highty actes are devoted to this kind of work. The division of care and manage- ment 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 con- tains a herd of 212 head of cattle, which supply mili to the dairy, which is made into butter and cheese or sold as wh. 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 edu- cation at Tuskegee Institute at little expense to himself. or imformation as to courses of study, expenses, etc., letters should be addressed to THE STATESMAN—2 NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTisT)church, Twenty-fourth and Ogden CHURCH. | RR Cnet ae canara es Zion is now fully organized and working in full blast for the rally which will be held on the second Sun- day in next month.

Features of Biennial Session to Be Held at Asbury Park, N. J. Asbury Park, N. J.-Local fraternal circles are all agog over the forthcoming biennial session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, Eastern and Western Hemisphere. The session will open on Sunday, Sept. 3, with the biennial sermon by Rev. W. S. Carpenter of Philadelphia. Formal welcoming services will be held the next day, addresses of welcome being delivered by Mayor T. Frank Appleby and Rev. William Wallace, grand chancellor for New Jersey. Responses will be made by Supreme Chancellor W. Ashbre Hawkins of Baltimore and Mrs. Hettie Nix of Kansas City, head of the courts of Calanthe. A parade of the uniform rank will take place in the afternoon led by Brigadier General D. M. Poppy of Florida and Adjutant General J. B. Loving of California. A competitive drill will take place at night. The sessions of the supreme lodge and supreme court will be held at Morrow's hall, where the newly elected supreme officers will be formally installed Friday, Sept. 8. The order maintains a beneficial department, which has more than met all expectations within the past two years. Every claim has been met, and a neat surplus is now in the hands of Supreme Treasurer W. A. Heathman of Providence B. J. The present supreme chancellor is one of the best known lawyers in the country and is prominently connected with a number of organizations. He is forty-eight years of age, and was educated at Morgan college, Baltimore, and the law school of Howard university. TRUTH ABOUT ADVERTISING. Solicitors Should Not Exaggerate Conditions—Their Mission Defined. By ALBON L HOLSEY. Advertising solicitors sometimes do much to discourage the advertiser by exaggerating the value of their papers as advertising media. Many of them seem to have in mind as they work nothing save their commission. Such a spirit is bound to react harmfully because the interests of the advertiser demand the most thoughtful attention from the advertising solicitor since he is the man to be directly benefited. The solicitor's commission should be a secondary consideration. No solicitor should attempt to sell space to an advertiser unless he is reasonably sure that it will pay him. Merely filling the advertising page with advertisements of no value is no test of the competence of a solicitor. Suppose a magazine claiming to be national in scope fills its advertising pages with purely local advertisements? If the circulation is national, then less than one-tenth is purely local, and if its rate to these advertisers is based on its circulation its advertisers are wasting nine-tenths of this money. Unless its solicitor acquaints these advertisers with the truth of the situation it is adopting a bad policy to build up a lasting clientele of advertisers. Such thoughtlessness makes it difficult for the conscientious solicitor to convince the advertiser of a real valuable advertising proposition. Good Work of the Hon. Edward Green. Representative Edward Green of the Illinois legislature has merited the confidence and good will of his fellow citizens at large by his devotion to the duties of his office and the timely interest which he manifests in all matters relating to the good of the general public. This was shown in his recent efforts in getting through the assembly the bill appropriating $100,000 for an armory for the Eighth Illinois regiment. The measure was backed by Colonel J. R. Marshall.

Entered as second class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. The people of Denver enjoy a well earned reputation for hospitality. Being the playground of the nation, Colorado has learned the value of genuine good will toward strangers. The homes of the private citizen, the endeavor of those who are public spirited, all count heavily in the enjoyment which all America gets in Colorado. It is therefore a matter of pride to us all that the committee on entertainment of the first national meeting which the Negro race has held in this city, without experience, and largely without funds, made such a success of entertaining. Messrs. J. W. Jackson, Edward Fountain, Victor Walker and Rev. W. C. Williams who were the active committee men had a task set for them which had to be met along lines entirely new to Denver, and it is a credit to their endeavor and intentions that they came out so successfully. It is unfortunate that their plans which really met the situation are in a measure discredited the nation over by the erroneous reports which found space in the daily press and Associated Press. Not a delegate or visitor to Denver went uncared for. Not a single person slept in the streets or went hungry. Yet the world believes this happened because some reporter with a penchant for large headlines, said so. No blame for the statements that gave rise to such newspaper articles belongs to any of these four gentlemen. We believe that loose speech in the daily press is unjust to honest, capable workers and we are glad to call attention to the fact that their administration of funds and other records which are in the hands of the secretary, Edward Fountain, are thrown open for the inspection of everybody. Colorado, like every other state which has conventions, is sometimes harried by accusations of improper conduct on the part of convention managers. The best evidence, the last word, the incontrovertible proof of what has been done, is the record, and the committee on entertainment of the National Negro Education Congress takes high ground and establishes a precedent in this state by taking the public into its confidence. This is the first time to our knowledge such a thing has ever been done. That public trust is a private snap has many a time been demonstrated in even the conventions of the conventions of the race here in this state. In justice to the hard work of this committee, we call attention to them, we name them, we single them out, so that whatever disagreement anyone may have with others who participated in the Congress, may not affect them, nor lessen in the slightest the high regard in which they are esteemed as men whose financial dealings are above suspicion. President Miller and D. M. Webster Give Facts About Amalgamation. The subject for discussion at the April meeting of the Cosmopolitan society in Brooklyn was the "Blending of Japhetic and Hamitic Blood In the Southern States." President George Frazier Miller presided and in the course of his introductory remarks cited many cases of which he knew in Charleston, S. C., New Orleans and other southern cities where amalgamation has been practical for generations and exhibited over fifty photographs showing the various types of progenic amalgamation, which varied from the Indian to the blue eyed Anglo-Saxon type. He told of a family in Charleston where one brother was white and the other colored, and yet the family recognizes each of them. Counselor D. M. Webster, the next speaker, said that at the close of the war there were 4,000,000 of known colored people and thousands whose identity has never been accurately recorded. This question of color, said he, is no longer confined to the south. The north is becoming more and more intensified each day. Especially is this condition seen in Boston, the very cradle of liberty and justice. The tendency to cater to the prejudice of the south in public places has increased with alarming rapidity. New York is the largest southern city in this country, and its influence as such is plainly seen and felt. There are more southern people in New York than any other city in the United States, and they have brought their hysterical prejudices with them. While the arts, etc., have been more highly developed by the lighter races, to the darker races belong poetry, music and spirituality. . --- Office 1026 Nineteenth Street. DENVER AS A HOST. COSMOPOLITAN SOCIETY. Phone Main 7905 Books Thrown Open Editor Statesman: I wish space in your paper to vindicate myself and my fellow committeemen of the charges made by a local paper, in its report of the congress, that we are "high financiers and fake convention promoters." It is not for the purpose of paying him back in his own coin that I write, but for the purpose of protecting honest men from the charge of grafting. I, as treasurer of the local committee, would know if money had been misused and any member had been the beneficiary of it. If such had been the case, I would justly come under suspicion. Fortunately the committee is prepared to make a financial report, showing the details of its operations and that will be conclusive answer to any charges. But there is a feature of the attack, made by Mr. Campbell in his paper that cannot be so easily reached. He grows eloquent over the awful depravity of the committee in imposing on the public by fooling them about the coming of Assistant Attorney General Lewis. Let me state here that this committee received a telegram from the president, stating that Mr. Lewis would be here on Sunday. Editor Campbell gives a minimum of facts in about two columns and a half and fairly bubbles over with insinuations about improper conduct. Of the convention itself he says little, and notwithstanding it met here and he could attend he foregoes his duty, as a newspaper man, to give the news and contents himself with his opinion. He blames us for not knowing what the convention was for before it met, yet he does not tell the public what it was for since its meeting. It is not within my province to dictate to Mr. Campbell as to what shall be his views about the usefulness of the convention. Not having been organized with the assistance of the people of Denver and our knowledge of it being limited to its "Address to the People," issued last year, we were under the necessity of accepting it as we found it, or of refusing to entertain it. The only duty which rested upon Denver was that of hospitality, and in fairness the people of Denver the committee should be spared the burden of charges not altogether correct. Neither should disagreement with the congress itself cause anyone to involve people here at home. The cupidity and wrong-doing of others is not the fault of this committee. In short I believe that Mr. Campbell in his endeavor to criticise some features of the convention, has forgotten our need for good manners and hospitality here in Denver. Neither is he justified in insinuating charges of graft that will involve the members of the committee and especially myself, because he has personal enmity against someone on the committee. Many efforts of the race have much of fault in them and at times it is hard to say whether they are good or bad on the whole, but even if he believes the congress bad he is without excuse in foisting upon his readers the impression that our committee is responsible. With regard to the number of delegates and homes for them I should like to say that no one in Denver knew how many delegates would come. We prepared for the maximum number and of course made no pledges to anyone. That hundreds came instead of thousands we could not know. And I do not believe that Denver feels as much injured now that the number was small, as it would have been ashamed had we been unable to take care of all who came, because of imperfect arrangements. We have not duped the public and except for this charge from Mr. Campbell I believe the public thinks we acted in entire good faith and that we were as disappointed in the small attendance as they.

Now my scalp is clean and pliable, and my hair bas grown several inches longer. It has so changed that I scarcely recognize it as my own hair. All of this is owing to having heard of the wonderful Madam Perkins, and ‘I pray that God's blessing will ever eerearaas ses and the good work ‘which you execute so justly and con- scientiously to all.

I am proud of my hair and will recommend Mad- am Perkins and her wonderful scalp treatment to every woman. I expect to use Madam Perkins’ preparation as long as I can buy St. .

Harris some 15 years ago was one of the favorite jockies of the coast and during his career a sa jockey he had the name of being the wealthiest there was 'n the business. JACK'S BROTHER IS THUGGED. Charley Johnson, brother to Jack Johnson, now residing in Chicago, was severely beaten up a few nights ago by some unknown. And Charly says that were he in a position and wasn't Jack's brother, he would find his man and make him the next white hope. JACK JOHNSON WILL TRAIN IN PARIS. The champion, Jack Johnson, will soon leave London for Paris, where he will start in light training for his coming bout with Bombardine Wells, the English champion. Jack is weighing at present something like 250 and intends to take off at least 20 pounds, which will make him a few pounds heavier than when he fought Jeffries. The fight will take place some time the latter part of September, with Johnson almost a 2 to 1 favorite. But Wells is getting to be conceived and is under the impression that he can outbox Jack and in time wear him down and then put him in the land of dreams. THE R. M. A. CLUB'S PICNIC. The greatest event of the season will be the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association's picnic to be held at Bloomfield park Labor day, Sept. 4. The entertaining committee is arranging one of the finest programs that can be had for this one glorious event. There will be all kinds of athletic entertaining, dancing and in fact everything to make the day and evening an enjoyable one. So don't let anything stop you from attending the Rocky's annual picnic. Bring your friends and show them the time of their life. Will you come? We will look for you all. THE NAMES WILLIAMS & WALKER. Are we as a race of people going back? That is the question that confronts many of us today. A few years ago in the profession we had stars that made the world sit up and take notice. They were such people as George Walker, Bert Williams, Rosamund Johnson, Bob Cole and Ernest Hogan. Two years ago all of these stars lived and were the foremost of the race, but today, sorry to say, there are only two left and they are bert Williams and Rosamund Johnson. Both in a way seem to have lost all heart for the wonderful work they are capable of doing. Bert Williams now playing with a white company, when he is much more needed by his own people. Rosemund Johnson is doing a little better for the race. He has turned from performer to producer and that is not so bad. But that don't satisfy the public yet. What we want to see is large aggregations again like in former years, when there were at least four good colored companies on the road at the same time, such as the Ernest Hogan Co., Cole & Johnson Co., and Williams and Walker company and several others of note. But it looks almost like we are to be lost balls in the high weeds. Well, what's the matter with Bert Williams and Alda Overton Walker getting together, if not this season, next year by all means. There we have the old names of Williams and Walker, and why not frame them together? There could be nothing better, for as an actress Aida Walker is the foremost of the race; the same with Bert, and all they have got to do is join forces and I am sure that the company would be far more profitable than imaginable. And if the papers throughout the country would urge such an action, I am quite sure that the matter could be brought to a very satisfactory agreement by both Bert and Alda. Neither one of them is satisfied as they are at present, so why not? Whoop 'er up and start the old game over and make the whole world glad. NINTH CAVALRY BAND MAKES GOOD IN DENVER. The soldier boys were in town last week, that is the band boys of the Ninth Cavalry were here with some of the finest music in the world. The band was down to Denver in company with the Cheyenne boosters and were guests of the now famous West Bros. Cafe company, where they were royally entertained by Wests and friends in the city. The band will also be one of the main entertaining features of Frontier days at Cheyenne. THE FLORIDA BLOSSOMS CO. A company of no little means is that of the Florida Blossoms. They are playing to capacity houses every night in and about Washington, D. C. The company has contracted to come West this season. FAMOUS THEATRE, ATLANTA, QA. After twelve weeks of success at the Idle Hour theatre, Macon, Ga., the team of Freeman & Harper opened at the Famous theatre, Atlanta, Ga., with their stock company known as Freeman and Harper Muse Stock company, and they are still making good. Mr. Freeman has been successful in securing a good bunch of performers that can deliver the goods and is quite satisfied since he is aware of the fact that his company is almost in a class by itself. Mr. William Thornton of the team of Thornton and Myers, is now working single by himself at the Globe theatre, Jacksonville, Fla., featuring some of his late song hits. BOB COLE IS DEAD. One of the foremost negro comedians of the world, Mr. Robert Cole, late of the Cole & Johnson company up to the past year, and since that time forced from mental paralysis 'o be confined in an asylum, was released about a month ago, supposed to be as sane as ever. But from some cause or another it is reported that he had hardly been out two weeks when he took his own life by drowning himself. As to whether these reports are true I cannot say, but at that profession mourns the loss of one of the most original negro comedians of this day. And it will be a long time before there will be any one able to take the place of the world's famous comedian. Robert Cole. After a whole lot of talk and jangle about which team was the best, the two leading club teams of the city got together Tuesday afternoon for a much disputed game of ball. And say! the game they played was just immense. Capt. Jean Andrews of the University Club team just knocked the D. A. C. boys silly with a score of 13 to 10, and the boys played the game with everything but science. In fact they played the game like a gang of school girls. Harry Barbee, the slab artist for the D. U. boys, was certainly some more kid. And little Jimmy Berry, the captain of the D. A. C. and also catcher, caught three balls during the whole game. But at that, in the course of time they might improve. The D. A. C. will play the Denver club in the near future. CARL MORRIS HAS NEGRO TRAINERS. Now it begins to look like business, Carl Morris, the Tuisa, Okla., white hope, has left home en route to New York City with his little wife, where they will meet his manager, F. B. Tiger, who is there making final preparations for Morris to meet Jim Lynn, the Pueblo fireman. The bout will be pulled off at Pollock's arena, Allenhurst, New York City, about the middle of next month. His sparring partners in the training camp at Alenhurst will be Joe Jennette, Joe Cotton, the champion Jack Johnson's former trainer, and Al Kubiak. Morris is sure that he can beat Flynn and is then going to try some of the better boys. But at present he don't want any of Jack's game. CANDIDATES FOR THE BISHOPRIC Many Worthy Aspirants In Race For the Coveted Position. CLAIMS OF REV. M. M. PONTON Grave Issues Which Confront the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church at Its Meeting in Kansas City, Mo., In May, 1912—The Situation Stated. Jackson, Miss.—The approach of the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, like all epoch mak'ug events, evokes much discussion as to the issues to be decided and the men to be honored. There is no getting around the fact that the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church in legislating for a great church and elevating men to positions of trust and honor is one of the truly great meetings held among Afro-Americans. It looks like four or five bishops to meet the growing demand caused by the expansion of the church on the one hand and the death and inability of several bishops on the other. There is a large number of men in the church who could fill the episcopacy or any other office with credit and honor, and many of them are being constantly mentioned in connection with that office. In order that the country at large might be informed from time to time of the trend of events as they begin to shape themselves for this epoch making meeting, it might be well to give to the public from time to time observations and conclusions made by J. R. CONTEE, Pres. & Manager Resident Phone York 1669 Phone Main 6123 1023 Ninete constant contact with influential persons throughout the south. There are many men in the field, but it is not the purpose of this article to deal with them all at this writing. There is no more trying service in our racial life than service in a Christian organization. To be sure there are certain compensations — mostly spiritual—that the individual gets from the knowledge of a work well done in behalf of his people. There is one man in the heart of the south prominently mentioned for the bishopric in the A. M. E. church whose merits and capabilities are well worth considering. This man has done something which alone goes a long ways toward favorable consideration. He comes from the premier state of Mississippi, where Negroes do things. If the church is seeking men who are able to create and develop things that are lasting and enduring, M. M. Ponton, president of Campbell college, Jackson, Miss., is the man. Dr. Ponton long ago sacrificed his comforts at home at the call of his brethren, pulled up bag and baggage and with his devoted wife went down into Mississippi M. H. H. REV. DR. M. M. PONTON. and in a few years placed their educational work in that state on a basis of respect and influence. The services of such a man ought to be known to the church—the bishopric question aside. Dr. Ponton has done more for the elevation of the Negro ministry in the past twenty years than perhaps any other man in the country. He has made a house to house and a church to church canvass throughout the southern country with the open Bible, teaching Bible morals and Bible spirituality to all of our people and endeavoring to popularize that sacred book and make its teaching familiar to preachers. Sunday school and public school teachers everywhere. The success of many ministers of the gospel who are now in the public eye can be traced to his efforts, and as president of Campbell college his work and worth are appreciated in both the states of Mississippi and Louisiana as that of no other man who has field the position. There are other men who are aspirants for the high honor, there are other men who are equally worthy, but surely this man has claims that cannot be gainsaid and which will bring forth a happy response. Afro-Americans in Methodist Church. The numerical strength of the race in the Methodist denomination is said to be as follows: A. M. E. Zion. 545,000; A. M. E. 452,000; C. M. E. 235,000, and 300,000 with membership in the M. E. church. The American Church Institute. Sunday, Nov. 12, is the date fixed for the meeting of the American Church Institute for Colored People. The ex- ercises will be held in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. President Taft has been invited to deliver an address on this occasion. HEAR THE FULL ORCHESTRA! ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW At The CRESCENT PHOTO PLAY HOUSE 2715 WELTON STREET. R. C. Dunkin, Prop. School In Washington Named For Alexander Crummell Career and Work of Zealous Young Hero Who Brooked Many Insults and Faced Imminent Danger in Quest of Knowledge—Priest In P. E. Church Half Century. By JOHN E. BRUCE. Yonkers, N. Y.—It will be gratifying news to the friends and admirers of the late Dr. Alexander Crummell, for fifty years a priest in the Protestant Episcopal church and for almost twenty years rector of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal church in Washington, to learn that a public school named for him to cost $45,000 will be dedicated next October. Dr. Alexander Crummell was a great clergyman, a great scholar and a great race man. In his youth, when the fires of ambition burned in his bosom and he [Name] and several other young colored men sought and obtained admittance as pupils to a school in a northern city, a mob attacked the school building and drove them out of the city. But this did not dampen their ardor nor lessen their zeal for knowledge. They pressed on, and all of them became great in their several callings. Young Crummell chose the ministry as his field. After he had completed his studies he called on Bishop Onderdonk in Philadelphia in 1842. After he had made an unsuccessful effort to establish a church in Providence, R. I., his first charge, which his parishioners were either too poor or too apathetic to properly support, he requested a change. After hearing his request this holy man of God said to the young aspirant for recognition as a man and brother: "I cannot receive you into this diocese unless you will promise that you will never apply for a seat in my convention for yourself or for any church you may raise in this city." Young Crummell's reply was an immediate one. "That, sir," said he, "I shall never do." And this ended the interview. This shows the kind of material of which Alexander Crummell was made and the kind of courage which manly and self respecting colored men of his stamp at that period possessed. This incident was one of the turning points in the future career of Alexander Crummell. He went to England—this was in 1847—where he came into contact with many of its most distinguished men and women—Willberforce, the great bishop of Oxford; Bishop Bloomfield of London, Dr. Stanley, lord bishop of Norwich; Bishop Hinds, lord licensed him for six months to a curacy in Ipswich. Thus honors were thrust upon this struggling and ambitious young prelate. He knew well Thomas Babington Macaulay, the great historian, and Thackeray, the author, who subsequently visited America. Through the generosity and personal friendship of Sir Benjamin Brodie he became a student in the University of Cambridge and was entered at Queen's college, Cambridge, in 1851. Alexander Cromwell was in his lifetime one of the most polished and scholarly clergymen of his day and generation. The history of his useful and eventful life ought to be an inspiration to young men of the present day. I knew of no man better qualified or more thoroughly conversant with the career of Dr. Crummell as clergyman and publicist, author and pamphleteer than Professor John W. Cromwell, secretary of the Negro academy in Washington, founded by Dr. Crummell some years ago, to write the chapter relating to his later work for social uplift. It will be significant for the guidance and inspiration of Negroes, who too soon forget what others of their race have done to smooth their pathway in the race of life. Alex Crummell was "one of the seldom sort," and we shall not soon look upon his like again. He was every inch a man. I knew him well.
