DR. MESSER'S FINE RECORD. Great Concert and Platform Assemblage In Luna Park on Tuesday Evening, Sept. 12, With Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker as Principal Baptist Minister Good Work. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Pittsburg.—As the time approaches for the annual meeting of the national Baptist convention, which convenes in this city on Wednesday, Sept. 18, interest in its work increases. The convention covers a larger terri- [Image of a man in formal attire with a white shirt and black tie]. REV. DR. T. H. C. MESSER. tory than other organizations operated by the Baptist denomination in the United States. The local entertainment committee, of which the Rev. Dr. T. H. C. Messer is chairman, has been busily engaged for several weeks with arrangements for taking care of delegates and visitors. Its work in this respect is about done. Homes for the thousands of delegates and visitors have been secured and the great convention halls for the main body and the women's convention are ready for use the moment the president or local chairman calls the assemblage to order. For the guidance and protection of delegates, a special committee wearing official badges will meet all incoming trains at all depots, so that no one need fall into the hands of irresponsible persons. Delegates who plan to arrive on Tuesday, the 12th, are requested to go directly to Luna Park. At the great concert and platform meeting to be held on Tuesday evening in Luna Park the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., will be the principal speaker. Too much credit cannot be given the local committee and its chairman, Dr. Messer, who as pastor of the Good Hope Baptist church has done an admirable work. The Good Hope church was built under his wise leadership. It cost $75,000 and seats 1,000 persons comfortably. Dr. Messer is an eloquent preacher, a safe and sound leader and one of the city's most popular divines. The state Baptist convention could do no wiser act at its next annual meeting than to elect Dr. Messer to the presidency. He is worthy of the highest ```markdown ``` P. REV. DR. C. D. PATTerson. n honor in the gift of his constituency in the denomination. The Rev. Dr. C. D. Patterson, the untiring and efficient secretary of the local committee, is one of the younger men in the ministry in Pittsburg. He is intelligent and also zealous for the success of the convention. He is the energetic pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church. As a careful thinker and sound reasoner of questions of moment Dr. Patterson takes high rank. The committee makes its last anouncement to all delegates who have not sent their names to Chairman T. H. C. Messer, 5109 Broad street, to do so at once, in order to secure good homes in time. This will also facilitate the work of the assignment committee. SUCH A BUILDING! On Tuesday evening the happy use to which the new home of Zion church can be put was beautifully illustrated by the most remarkable musicals success which attended the presentation by the choir of old folk songs. With these old time soul-touching melodies, there were interspersed numbers from the classics rendered by the nightingales of song. Tribute of praise for the singers would be doing them only justice. Mesdames J. M. Wright of Topeka, Miss Frankle Buchanan, Miss Jennie Hicks are singers of merit, the performance of the last named being the more remarkable as it was her first appearance before a great audience. Mrs. Wright was in good voice and showed the range and power of an approved singer. Miss Buchanan was a tender interlude, admirably done. Morgan Jackson played a favorite "Traumerel" most satisfactorily. Zion choir needs no praise. All that words can say of it have been said. Under Madam Faulkner it seems to go higher and higher so that one stops praising for want of more to say. But the building! The building was the thing! Nearly a thousand people congregated in it and were charmed with its excellent acoustic properties and commodious audience rooms. The rally set for tomorrow will receive a tremendous impetus from the success of this musicale. A DREADFUL SIGHT to H. J. Barnum, of Freville, N. Y., was the fever sore that had plagued his life for years in spite of many remedies he tried. At last he used Bucklen's Arnica Salve and wrote: "It has entirely healed with scarcely a scar left." Heals burns, bolls, eczema, cuts, bruises, swellings, corn and piles like magic. Only 25c, at all druggists. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 9, 1911 Bruce Grit continues the Story of a Negro who was associated with Thomas Jefferson "Mr. Hume," said Mr. Jefferson, "was a profound and subtle reasoner and an acute metaphysician; as an historian too he is very able and arranges, systematizes and generalizes with great skill and talent, but he wrote to please the English aristocracy; and I think from high veneration, and perhaps innate love for hereditary power, he imbibed such a contempt for the masses that he became insensible to human rights; or rather, he seems to have forgotten that they had any rights, or if they had he believed that they were utterly incapable of judging of what was for their best good. He labors through the whole of his history to represent the actions of the masses as absurd and to cast ridicule and contempt upon all their attempts to regain their natural rights. It is painful that so profound a thinker and so able a philosopher as David Hume should have finally settled down in the professed belief that the fitness of things required that an immense majority of men should be slaves to a pitiful minority of their brethren. His veneration and love for the aristocracy, increased, perhaps, by his pecuniary interests (and if so he was mean as well as unprincipiled), induced in his mind conclusions which rendered him (Mr. Jefferson here spoke with some warmth) a traitor to human nature. I remained in the neighborhood of Monticello nearly a week, and spent a portion of every day in Mr. Jefferson's library at his pressing invitation. On Tuesday before I left those quiet, philosophical shades, I received a card from Mr. Jefferson inviting me to dine with him, in company with a few friends, the next day at 4 o'clock. I went to his house and found there Chief Justice Marshall, Mr. Wirt, Mr. Samuel Dexter of Boston, and Dr. Samuel L. Mitchell of New York. The Chief Justice had come into the neighborhood on some business pertaining to the university. Mr. Wirt was on his annual visit to Mr. Jefferson, and Mr. Dexier and Dr. Mitchell being on a tour to South Carolina, so arranged their journey as on their way to call on the old sage at Monticello. I was announced as a young gentleman from North Carolina, introduced by Mr. Pendleton, who was well known to It will be recollected that in the year 1798, Judge Marshall was a Virginia Federalist, that he was a favorite of the then president, Mr. John Adams, who appointed him ambassador to France, Secretary of State, and afterward chief justice of the United States. It is only necessary to remark that before and during the presidency of Mr. Jefferson, in consequence of political differences, a coldness had existed between him and the chief justice; and I could perceive for a time some restraint in the department of the latter when addressing the former. Mr. Dexter was, during the presidency of the elder Adams, an ardent Federalist and secretary of the War Department. After the election of Mr. Jefferson in 1800, he retired from the field or politics and devoted himself to the practice of law, and at the time I first saw him was regarded as one of the most, if not the most eloquent and eminent of the New England lawyers. During the war which had just closed Mr. Dexter, without abandoning any of the political doctrines which he held when in an executive department under Mr. Adams differed from his party generally; for he thought it the duty of every American citizen to support with his influence and money the government in the prosecution of the war, while the great body of New England Federalists carried their opposition to the administration of the general government so far that they discouraged enlistments in the American army and refused to loan a dollar of their money to aid in carrying on the war on the credit of the government. Dr. Mitchell was a very learned man, passionately devoted to the natural sciences. He had been a Democratic senator of the United States when Mr. Jefferson was president. He was an admirer—I was going to say an adorer—of the late president because he was a Republican, and more especially because he was a philosopher. I can in my mind's eye see the good old Doctor M., his large, corpulent form, his fine, good natured, honest face, with his well powdered hair and neat little queue nicely folded in a ribband suspended on the collar of his coat, seem full in my view. Of Mr. Wirt I need not speak otherwise than to say he was one of the most amiable of men. His talents are universally known and acknowledged, though to say truth, he was a little too fanciful, or rather the brilliancy of his imagination was such that it sometimes dazzled the eyes of his understanding. There was also there one remarkable man from the North. It was Elder John Leland, who sent Mr. Jefferson the great cheese. He was a Baptist minister, who lived in the western part of Massachusetts. He was very zealous both as a politician and sectarian, and was a man of some wit. He was the author of a pamphlet entitled "Jack Nips on Infant Baptism," which had at the time it was published an extensive circulation in the eastern states where questions of that nature were formerly mooted with much zeal and interest. Mr. Leland would have made an excellent chaplain in Oliver Cromwell's army. All these talented men, then so gay and social, have now gone down to the grave, while I yet wander upon the earth. At dinner Mr. Jefferson introduced the conversation by inquiring of Mr. Dexter how the appointment of Judge Story to the bench of the United States supreme court was received by the people of Massachusetts. Mr. Dexter said extremely well. Dr. Mitchell remarked that when Judge Story's name was before the Senate it was implied that although he was a man of genius, he was not a sound lawyer. "It was said so elsewhere," replied Mr. Dexter, "and he is truly a man of genius, but in my judgment he is also an able lawyer. The fact of his being known as a fine writer has heretofore prevented his being appreciated in his profession as he deserves. A man whom the public allow to be a great lawyer, they will not permit to be anything else. Had not Judge Story been known to the public as a poet, he would before this time have occupied a higher rank as a learned priest." (Note—This conversation, the reader will remember, took place in 1815.) "That is very odd," said Mr. Jefferson, "but nevertheless I believe it is true. If, however, in this the public err, the error, in my judgment, is a great measure is chargeable to the lawyer themselves. They have by their technicalities enveloped the science of law in mystery. Justice between man and man is plain and obvious to right minded men possessed of common sense. Sir Edward Coke says it must be learned reason. In other words, justice must be manufactured by the lawyer, secundum artem, as the mechanic constructs a watch. When, therefore, the public become suspicious that the lawyer is pursuing some other trade beside that of the manufacturing of justice, it is natural that they should turn their attention to some other person of the same trade who devotes himself entirely to his business. Really, Mr. President." said Mr. Dexter— Another article will conclude this interesting story and will embrace a lively and learned and philosophical discussion of slavery and the rights of man, which was participated in by all the gentlemen mentioned—guests of Mr. Jefferson, who had skillfully concealed Mr. Melbourne's racial identity until he had drawn out from his guests their views of slavery and the Negro, most of which being favorable, he announced that Mr. Melbourne was a Negro, a gentleman and a scholar. Brain Power Versus the Color Line. In urging the young men and women of the race to see to it that they receive a good sensible education, whether literary or industrial, the Huntsville (Ala.) Fortune Teller says: "There is one thing the color line cannot hold down, and that is brain power. Several of our large colleges have tried the experiment, only to find themselves greatly humiliated." A FAMOUS SCHOLAR HERE. Denver was entertaining a little while this week one of the foremost scholars of the race, in the person of Prof. Wm. Pickens, instructor of atin, Greek and German in Talledege College, Alabama. He is a friend and fellow alumnus of Dr. Jones and was in his charge while here. Prof. Pickens enjoys the honor of being the winner of the famous TenEyeck prize at Yale university, so much talked of a few years ago. He is the first colored professor in charge of a department in this famous southern college. METHODISTS MEET IN CONFERENCE The twenty fifth annual session of the Colorado Annual Conference of the African M. E. church convened Wednesday morning in this city at Shorter church. Its deliberations are presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks. The death of Bishop Grant has brought this conference about under the guiding hand of Bishop Parks. The fact that they were the dearest of friends and that in his last days it was the wish of Bishop Grant, has doubtless had much to do with the fifth district being added to the already heavy labors of the bishop presiding. Also this fact is probably responsible for the all around good will and general feeling that all is well which seems to be the prevailing spirit of the Conference. The Conference annual sermon on the morning of the first day was preached by Rev. J. C. Bell of Pueblo. Immediately work was taken up and the reports of charges heard. On the whole, the reports have shown less reflection of the hard financial conditions prevailing than was expected, a fact that shows the work of the ministers to have been high class. The appointment of the many committees and the election of conference officers has kept the work progressing smoothly. Rev. J. B. Holmes of Pueblo is recording secretary and Rev. J. S. Payne of Boulder is statistical secretary. The first day was made notable by the presence of Rev. John Hurst of the financial department who addressed the Conference. He left the city Thursday, accompanied by his wife. Rev. C. H. Boone of the Tennessee conference who has recently transferred here taking charge of Colorado Springs, was introduced. He succeeds Rev. Braxton who has now become a connection officer, having charge of the National Preachers Home at Colorado Springs. Wednesday night was "welcome" night and reception. Rev. Over made the principal address of welcome on behalf of the people of Denver followed by Mrs. Ida DePriest. Responses were made by Rev. J. B. Holmes and Rev. C. H. Boone and Bishop Parks himself sounded the keynote in the closing word. The members of the conference are the Reverends J. C. C. Owens, J. S. Payne, A. G. Elliott, O. D. Yochum, B.

Persons Wishing Tickets for Harris Benefit can secure them at 1026 19th St. or Phone Main 7905 A feature of the benefit entertainment next Thursday night for the Harris appeal fund is that those attending will retain their tickets, only showing them to the door keeper so that every person who contributed 50 cents to this cause through this plan will have a certificate showing his part in it. Ten persons and several of the women's clubs have undertaken the largest possible distribution of these certificates, and everyone is asked to do all toward making the receipts $500. Mrs. E. B. Butler, who is president of the state federation, has written the Denver ladies urging them individually and by clubs to do their utmost to help Harris. The manner in which the ladies are working speaks louder than words in praise of the spirit. In next week's paper the names of workers, in this benefit entertainment will be published. Donors of service or material will also be mentioned. The people of Denver who have given nothing at all, or who can still contribute, should make the success of this entertainment a personal matter. A thousand white people of any nationality can highly resolve and raise money to further a common cause, and Negroes must do likewise or be counted nobodies who lack spirit and courage.

Will Hold Annual Convention In Pittsburgh, Beginning Sept. 13. The woman's Baptist convention will be held in Pittsburgh during the sessions of the national Baptist convention, which begins on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Delegates to this body should send their names to Mrs. Fanny Morton. 249 Lombard street, at once, so that suitable homes may be provided for them before the sessions begin. The local committee of the main organization attributes much of its suc- MRS. FANNIE MORTON. cess in securing homes for delegates to the zealous work of Mrs. Morton and her coworkers, who have labored hand in hand to bring about the pleasing results which now crown the efforts of both local committees. In this respect, however, Pittsburg is blessed with many noble women, who have shown their loyalty to racial interest. Among the many public spirited women of Pittsburg, Mrs. T. H. C. Messer, the amiable and highly esteemed wife of Dr. T. H. C. Messer, is a striking example. She is the founder of the children's home. The day nursery, which cares for over forty children, is an evidence of work and worth in such charitable institutions. Mrs. Messer is a native of Georgia, in which state she received her education. She is prominent in the National Baptist convention and is highly regarded by the officials and workers of that organization. All hands are working to make the MRS. T. R. C. MESSER. coming meeting the most successful of any yet held by the women. To this end the various organizations among the Baptist women are vying with each other in raising money and creating interest in the work to be supported by the woman's convention. Present indications warrant the expectation of a large and enthusiastic gathering. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENT ARCHITECT. C. W. Wiggington, 12 Union Blk., Omaha, Nebr. AUCTION HOUSE. J. R.

It is too prone to excuse the mistakes of Negroes who know better. Neither slavery, ignorance, poverty, environment nor even physical dis: ability is an obstacle to an honest ef: fort toward betterment. The only man who is wholly lost is the one who refuses to try to do better. While on the one hand we are too charitable toward the shiftless and unworthy, we are too severe on the striver. The shortcomings of a Ne- gro are not one whit worse than those of a white man. Yet Negroes who know better take pride in getting in public places and drawing atttention to themselves by the scathing denun- ciation they deal out to their colored brethren. ‘The utter incompetency ot a Negro workman or professional man is proven by a single failure, Somehow God seems to have cursed the children of Ham with the direst of curses so that there is in them a jealousy so all pervading that they will involye themselves in ruin rather than see any emerge from the com- mon mass, Looking backward to the sturdy in- dustry and thrift of our emancipated forefathers, one cannot but be ap- palled when he considers the do-noth- ing boys and girls who shame us by their loiterings on corners and in pub- lic places, who refuse work on the flimsiest pretexts, who run the streets, and expect their parents to support their idleness. Hardly less disheartening are the critics. Not a man or woman, not a movement but runs the gauntlet of fault finders, intent upon wrecking, not upon aiding. More than any other race, Negroes are cursed by this practice. Our leaders in politics are throttled by stories of their shortcom- ings—shortcomings not one whit worse than those of white leaders whom they gladly obey, even when by so doing they forfeit privileges they have a right to enjoy. Our business men must operate un- der a cloud of suspicion created by the envious and malicious slings of their own people. Every class of im- propriety is charged against our pro- fessional men, not because they are probably guilty, but simply because it is possible for them to be guilty. Even the great mass who are dis- tinguished by no unusual ambition or ability malign each other to their em- ployers, refuse to take orders from one another, and in fact betray every kind of assinine stupidity which hu- manity can be guilty of. In the name of all that is good and holy, for the sake of what we wish ourselves to become, let us strip off the dead weight we carry. Let us go forward. VOICE OF BUSINESS LEAGUE. Progress Shows “That the Race Is Worthy of Citizenship. #elore concluding its twelfth an- nual meeting recently held in Little Rock, Ark., the National Negro Busi- ness league adopted a strong set of resolutions in part as follows The National Negro Business league, in twelfth annual session assembled, finds many things for which the race and the country may well rejoice. ‘The movement among the Negroes of this country to buy land, ‘establish commercial institutions, schools and other organizations is growing stronger each year. The race has recox- nized the truth that the standard by which it is to be measured in its perma- nent place ia that which haz been applied to all other elements which enter Into our common citizenship. We find that since our last session more banks have been started, more com- mercial enterprises and stores opened and more manufactories begun than any other single year in our history. We believe that the ownership of land, the acquisl- tlon of an education, particularly the common school and vocational education: the improvement of the home, both as tc its appearance and the inner life and loy- alty to the teachings of Christ, are the foundations upon which civilization is tc be buflt. ‘We urge with all the emphasis at our command that our people buy land, Buy it now. Get ready, for even sooner thar ‘we may expect this door of opportunity may be closed. On every moral issue we urge our race ‘at the ballot box to allgn itself with the forces of law and order and civic right. eousness. No man can be permanently Kept out of the place which belongs tc him by reason of his usefulness as a fac tor in the industrial Ife of the commu. nity—his character as a man and his ability to look upon matters of genera public and general concern, with a visior ‘wide enough to protect the interests of all ‘We are profvundly grateful for the in. terest shown in our progress by the bes element of the white people both nort! anq south. Their spoken word of chee! end their deeds of kindness speak in loud. er tones than words and have done much to inspire us. In all the history of this movement no- where has this feeling of sympathy, friendship and real Christian helpfulness found a more pronotnced expression than here in Little Rock, the city where any Negro should be giad to be counted a citizen, We can hardly find words strong enough to express our gratitude to Gov- ernor Donaghey for his masterly address to us, which not only evinces the type of Christian sympathy, but to our minds the highest type of statesmanship. We feel it due to the colored citizens of Little Rock concerning our entertainment to say in the language of the Bible, “Thou excellest them all ‘We congratulate our race upon the re- markable showing made by those com- munities composed entirely. of members of our race. Thelr record for ability to Initiate and maintain enterprises, to es- tablish and enforce law and order and to win the respect and even the admiration of the people of thelr state and the coun- try 1s not only a source of encouragement to our own race, but is the finest possible concrete argument that the Negro is worthy of citizenship.

Randolph preached a soul stirring sermon last Sunday morning. A grand result was seen and felt in this heart-searching sermon. One young man was gloriously converted and added to the church. The Rev. J. D. Rice preached in the evening to a very appreciative audience. Brother Rice is ever ready to serve his church when an opportunity presents itself. Through. the pastorate and leadership of the Rev. H. R. Gipson of Pueblo, Colorado, the Methodist Episcopal church has come in possession of the Westminster Presbyterian church, valued at $5,000, for the sum of $1,500. Our people have a church home second to none in the city of Pueblo. Five members were added to the church during the first quarterly conferences. The church has a basement, furnace, electric lighted, furnished with beautiful pews, brick structure, trimmed with white stone, and is situated on a beautiful corner in the heart of a colored neighborhood. Rev. J. B. Holmes of Pueblo, Colo., an old school mate of the pastor, will speak Sunday evening. We invite all of our members and friends out to hear this eloquent pulpit orator. Dr. M. C. B. Mason stopped over a few hours in our city, the guest of the pastor, on his way to Crawford, Neb., where he spoke before the Methodist Conference this week. Dr. Mason has been attending the Colorado Conference at the Springs and delivered his famous lecture, "Africa in America and Africa Beyond the Seas." Rev. W. R. Stephens, A. B., introduced the do tor before that great body of white and colored people in the First M. E. church. The work in the Colorado district is in a prosperous condition. The churches are making rapid progress. The preachers are well satisfied with their work and the people seem to love their shepherds. The district superintendent is well pleased with the outlook. The District Conference will begin next Wednesday evening at the Springs. The Rev. C. W. Holmes will preach the annual sermon at this time. Scott will send down a large delegation. The prayer meeting was very largely attended last Wednesday evening. There were several visitors in the audience. We invite our friends to attend these mid-week meetings. The Rev. J. D. Rice will soon leave for Gammon Theological Seminary. This will be Mr. Rice's last year in this institution, as he will be presented with a sheep skin bearing the greetings of the greatest Negro Theological Seminary in the world.

BY LEON PRYOR LANGFORD AND JENNETTE. Last Tuesday night for at least the eighth time Sam Langford and Joe Jennette stepped into the ring to see who was best man. They have fought so many times that actually it looks like a frame-up. Last Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, New York, they fought ten rounds to a draw, with everybody in the audience thinking that Langford should have won easy by a knockout. THE R. M. A. A. PICNIC. Of all the picnics, the big Rocky had the picnic of the season. There wasn't a dull minute no time and if you weren't there it was your own fault, as you all know that you were invited. The board of directors wish to thank the public for rtheir lovely attendance and manners at the big Rocky's Labor day outing. The tennis contest was postponed because the grounds could not be properly prepared. THREE COLORED BOYS TO BOX AND WRESTLE TONIGHT. The bout between Battling Thompson and Roy Brown, two local colored boys of Denver, is causing quite a large amount of excitement. Both boys are training at the Rocky Mountain Athletic club and the large crowds that gather daily are beginning to lay their small bets on both of the boys, who fight at the D. A. club tonight. Bud Thomas, the wrestler, is also in hard training for his bout with some unknown 133-pound wrestler and James Berry's manager would not let him go on for fear that he was not in the right kind of condition. If Battling Thompson and Kid Brown make any kind of showing tonight they will be matched to box in Cheyenne in the near future. Bud Thomas is training under the instruction of Prof. Edwin Carson and Roy Tolliver and expects to beat his man in a hurry. THE MILLER FAMILY. The well known Miller family is now playing at the famous Murphy Shark River Casino, Belmar, New Jersey, where they are featuring all of the latest song hits of the day. THE DARING NEGRO BALLOONIST Mr. Fred L. Bradford, one of the most daring Negro balloonists in the business, will make two sensational ascensions at Lexington, Ky., the 12th of this month. With his assistant, Mr. Grant C. Watson, he will do many bair-raising stunts in mid-air. THORNTON & LANG. After a most successful tour of the South, playing all of the best houses, Thornton and Lang company will come North to open time on the Shea circuit, where they will put on their clever comedy juggling act and sketch work. KID OTIS BRUCE. The clever colored kid lightweight boxer, Kid Bruce, formerly of this city, is now located in Cheyenne, where he is conducting a boxing school in the ninth 'cavalry post. Young Kid Bruce is one of the smartest boys in the business and will make the best of the boys hump to beat his game. THE ARENTIS IN THE SOUTH. Dixie Airdome Billy and Grace Arenti opened at Jackson, Tenn., last week and went big. They will work South until Christmas, when they will come north and play big time vaudeville. EDDIE PAGE AND HIS BOYS AT THE BIG ROCKY. Mr. Eddie Page, formerly head mixer at the big Rocky, has been promoted to manager and is certainly due much credit. Royal Duke is now the head mixer and Charly Harris second. They are going to make the Rocky one of the greatest places in the West, if Manager Page and his boys are let alone. They certainly know how to do things. W. ROGER JONES, SONG WRITER. Mr. W. Roger Jones, the tenor singer of much note and ability, has just completed two song lyrics which are to be submitted to Will Rosser, the song publisher. Mr. Jones is also a former student of Tuskegee. COOKE & BROOKS. Karle B. Cooke, the well known comedian, and Prof. A. Brooks, the ventriloquist, are filling engagements at the large hotels at Asbury Park, N. J., with much success.

Little Johnnie Jones and Eva Moore, the clever little team of youngsters, are making quite a hit in Chicago, playing at the Airdome theatre. They are booked on the Joel circuit for 15 weeks. DAWSON & SOMER Dawson & Somer, the clever team of comedians, are to introduce one of the cleverest acts that can be found among the colored artists this season in vaudeville. They will quit rehearsing the first of the month, as they are already booked on the Keith-Proctor circuit for an indefinite time. THOMAS ELICKER. The artistic singing comedian, Mr. Thomas Flicker, is back in New York after a successful season through the West. He appeared at the Crescent theatre of New York and scored a big hit singing and talking some of the latest and best junk there is to be had. NOT A WORD OF SCANDAL marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W. P.

Easy but sure remedy for stomach, liver and kidney troubles. Only 25c, at all druggists. Manager Burnley of the Railroad Men's Club at 2149 Curtis street, has enrolled many new members of the railroad knights during the present summer. It takes the boys with the grips to appreciate the right kind of treatment and he best of service. Nothing too good for anybody at the Railroad Club BUTTE MONT. To the Editor Statesman It has been some time since we have written you last, but we are glad to say that we are still moving on. The colored people of Butte, as a rule, have quit paying $25 and for a suit of clothes two or three times a year, and paying from $15 to $20 a month rent for somebody's else house to live in, and are purchasing homes of their own instead. It is safe to say that 85 per cent. of the colored families of Butte own their own homes, homes that cost all the way from $1,500 to $4,000 each. While there are several, who, besides owning their homes, have other real estate from which they are getting good rent; so you see that we are not asleep up here. Mr. Henry Johnson will leave over the O. S. & L. September 3 for Salt Lake, Utah, and Colorado Springs. Mr. Johnson is the delegate from Silver Bowl Lodge No. 2989 G. U. O. of O.

Having lived in Leavenworth for more than 40 years he concluded to accept their invitation and whilst here he was royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. John F. Davis and their friends, being honored guest Wednesday evening at a 7 o'clock dinner at Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Sheets. At a reception given by Mr. and Mrs. John F. Davis, assisted by Mrs. Wm.

Pen Picture of Coming Struggle For Justice Points the Way to Victory. While the executive committee and other members of the National Independent Political league were completing the program for the annual meeting of the organization which was held in Boston, beginning Monday, Aug. 28, Editor W. E. King of the Dallas (Tex.) Express, as if by inspiration, makes the following declaration: In the coming struggle for manhood rights in this country on the part of the Negro he will need to put forward his best, brightest and most conservative men—best in the matter of equipment and preparation, brightest in the matter of a clear and farseeing conception of what the future with reason portends, judging by the history of the past, conservative in that their experience and consummate judgment lead them to reach conclusions after having taken all things into consideration. With this lineup we can reasonably expect results becoming the great prize which we hope to win and becoming the dignity and seriousness of the contest. In a government such as ours, where the people rule through their chosen representatives, where government exists and executes the will of the people, our institutions must not be considered secure until every citizen is accorded his full measure of liberties as set forth in the letter and spirit of the constitution and the law. This is a contention which must be made by every patriot in the land sooner or later. This is, the doctrine proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, and for which Chris Parkus Attucks fell, and for which Washington and the forcathers fought. Delaying this question through the arbitrariness of executives and the technicalities of courts can only serve to complicate matters, which our government must one day settle on the high plane of honor, fairness and justice. The South Poking Fun at the North. The south seems to be making it quite uncomfortable for the north in talk and self praise since the recent Coatesville (Pa.) lynching. This reminds one very forcibly of the oft repeated saying that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. FORCED TO LEAVE HOME. Every year a large number of poor sufferers, whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs, are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. There's a better way. Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you at home. "It cured me of lung trouble," writes W. R. Nelson of Calamine, Ark., "when all else failed, and I gained 47 pounds in weight. It's surely the king of all cough and lung cures." Thousands owe their lives and health to it. It's positively guaranteed for coughs, colds, la gripe, asthma, croup—all throat and lung troubles. 50c and $1.00" Trial bottle free at all drug-gists.

OFFICIAL LIFE IN WASHINGTON HON.W.T.VERNON'S FIRST TOUR Brief Review of the Activities of Prominent Men In the Federal Service Who Mingle Freely With the Rank and File of the Race Along Many Lines of Work. BY OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.—Some of the colored members of the president's official family have been busy here lately not only in the pursuance of their official duties, but also in important activities among our people. It is gratifying that most of the colored bureau officials here are in close touch with the rank and file of their people, as can be seen from this little review of their recent activities. Hon. William T. Vernon, who holds one of the supervisorships of schools under the secretary of the interior, is out of the city on official business. This is the first official trip that Mr. Vernon has made since he took up the duties of his new position. On this trip he will cover several states and transact business of importance for the government. JOHN H. HARRIS Captain Walter Loving, the leader of the Filipino band, is in this country on his vacation and is spending a while here with his friends and relatives. Captain Loving is a Washington boy, and the people of Washington feel proud of him and of the prominence he has attained in his chosen field. The Filipino band, of which he is the leader, has visited this country several times and has won the fame of being one of the best bands in the world. Captain Loving will remain in this country for several months. Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school, was the orator of the day at the recent Emancipation celebration held in Cleveland, O. Dr. Evans' speech was highly appreciated by the people of Cleveland, the daily papers of that city giving much space to it. One of the big Cleveland dallies also carried an extensive interview with Dr. Evans on racial matters, in which he laid stress on the educational progress of the race. Dr. Evans was accompanied on his western trip by Mrs. Evans and their accomplished daughter, Miss Lillian, who is a kindergarten teacher in the Washington schools. Recorder of Deeds Makes Itinerary. Henry* Lincoln Johnson, the recorder of deeds, has recently been attending important meetings of the Odd Fel- lows, such as the subcommittee of management and the Odd Fellows' supreme court in Philadelphia and the Georgia District grand lodge in Augusta, Ga. Mr. Johnson is deputy grand master of the Odd Fellows of this country and also the counsel of the Georgia district grand lodge. SIR JOHN BROOKS James C. Napler, register of the treasury, has been attending been attending the sessions of CAPT. W. H. LOVING. the National Negro Business league. He is chairman of the executive committee of the league. The duties of his position are many, for upon the executive committee falls the important work of arranging for the national conventions. The assistant register of the treasury, Cyrus Field Adams, holds the important post of transportation agent of the league and has had his hands full looking after the work of securing reduced rates to and from Little Rock, Ark., where the convention was held. Our people are very much interested in the First Separate battalion of the District national guard, which held its annual camp training in Frederick, Md., recently. Horror of the Coatesville Lynching. Commenting on the recent Coatesville (Pa.) lynching, the Amsterdam News, New York city, says: "It has become so common to burn Afro-Americans alive in the southern states that, although the horror of the barbary remains, the keen edge of surprise, even, is blunted, and for a long time we have been expecting that the next step would be taken. To roast a man and then neglect to eat him is a distinction without a difference that people of refined and cultured manners are slow to appreciate. A nation is bound to be judged by its moral standards." Statistics Show Progress of the Race. The large number of useful inventions by colored men as shown in the patent office and the census bureau for the last census is an indication of the growing intelligence of the race. As our homes grow in intelligence and thrift, in like manner will the race continue to march up the hill of progress. Colored Soldiers For Philippines. From recent reports it appears that the United States is very anxious to enlist a large number of colored soldiers for service in the Philippine Islands. Recruiting stations for these purposes are already in operation in Atlanta and Macon, Ga. There are similar stations in other sections of the south. Lieutenant John Smyington is the recruiting officer. The Trend of Political Sentiment. The trend of opinion among a large and diversified number of colored voters is toward independence in politics. Along this line of thought the Los Angeles (Cal.) New Age says: The black man should stand on his rights and give both his vote and moral support to individuals who believe the Negro has rights that should be respected.
