The Negroes of Colorado Should Appeal the Harris Case
THE RACE OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY
State Historian & Nat

Twenty-Third Year
THE RAC
OUTLO
Two audiences on last Sunday listened to addresses on the increasing gravity of the Negro's predicament in this country. It is needless to say that the speaker in neither case of fered a course of action which would infallibly lead to a final settlement of our difficulties, yet by the manner of setting forth what was to be overcome, both led their hearers into considering it a personal duty to each do his part and so far as practicable as assist others of the race to do theirs.
One could have heard a pin drop in Zion while Rev. Over unrolled the scroll of the hindrances we have to progress. The foes from without he pointed out and his hearers felt a sort of satisfaction that it was not their fault that the way was hard. But when he crossed over the color line and showed how the race contributes to its own undoing, his audience was breathless. Our jealousies, our lack of consideration of each other, our lack of forethought, our loss of employment, due in some cases to things preventable, our jeopardizing of our health through bad living, all these he portrayed. His illustrations were well put, when he concluded his discourse, it was a people well chastened who passed quietly out of the church. In fact their going was as from a funeral. For in that preaching service they had their faults as a race laid bare and had seen their false pride and vaingloriousness buried under an avalanche of logic so keen, so unerring, so pitiless, that they went forth knowing that from this time on they may not take shelter behind their ignorance of their conditions.
At the People's Presbyterian church the pastor, Rev. Thos-Hazell, preached what many of his hearers have been pleased to call his greatest pulpit effort. He took as his topic the unfortunate cases of race friction, of which the Washington-Ulrich case is so patent an example. Rev. Hazell is a ripe scholar of analytical mind. He showed that it is no defense of Negroes who paddle accusations against members of the race, that these accusations first appeared in the white press. For, knowing that the press is frequently mistaken, oftimes maliciously so, gossips make no attempt at investigation to ascertain truth, but like cowards rejoice in the opportunity to strike a blow in the dark.
P.
REV. J. A. THOS-HAZELL.
Who Delivered What Was Considered His Best Sermon Sunday Discussing Race Contact.
His subject was "Sentiment Versus Justice," or the Washington-Ulrich case of New York city. His text was taken from Gen. 18:25, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
The doctor deduced two points from the text: 1. Sodom and Gorograh on trial. 2. God's way of punishing the cities was not by sentiment but justice, based on their actions. He rather pointed out that justice today should be the scarlet thread of the law. He magnified the cases of Washington-Ulrich of New York, Westbrook-Denver Chamber of Commerce, Ross-theatre. He logically

showed how the Negro gets the worst of it nearly every time when his case is with another race. He peppered the transgressor of the law, be he white or black; but at the same time appealed for a fair trial. He rose to the height of his eloquence when he advised his audience to be slow to accept newspaper reports concerning the so-called weaknesses of the Negro, not because the Negro was not faulty, but because he was maligned and vilified and very often incriminated by the press within and without the race that was not in sympathy with the best interest of the Negro.
Since coming to Denver Rev. Hazell has made a practice of discussing public questions. His opinions on many matters are therefore known, but at no time, on no subject, has he received such a sympathetic hearing, and certainly he could not have been paid higher compliments. When he concluded his expository remarks and made his appeals to the race to step up to the measure of full manhood, meeting prejudice like men, combat ing what should be combatted, enduring what cannot be cured; living good clean lives, purposeful lives, daring to do right, and then when the cup of bitterness is overflowing, dying when they must if that need be, in defense of the God-given rights, he was more than eloquent. Several visitors augmented the regular congregation, drawn there to hear this sermon, and they were well repaid.
DOUBLE WEDDING.
On Wednesday evening, at his home, Rev. C. W. Holmes united in marriage his daughter, Mary and Mr. William Price. At the same time he made two others happy, Miss Wilhelmina Bean and Mr. Edward W. Rogers. The double ceremony was performed in the presence of a number of friends, who helped to make merry wilt hthem in the subsequent congratulations. The best wishes of many go out to Mr. and Mrs. Price and Mr. and Mrs. Rogers.
DIES SUDDENLY.
Mrs. Annie McPherson of this city has received the sad news of the death of her sister, Mrs. Ella Simonton in Durango this week. She was the wife of J. S. Simonton and she and her husband were both well known in this city. The cause of death is not known. The particulars given are that she had gone to her room in the evening in apparent good health and spirits. When Mr. Simonton followed her a little later, he found her dead. The remains were brought to this city for burial. The deceased was well known and the mourners have much sympathy in affliction.

NOTES OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESS BYTERIAN CHURCH.
Sermon topics Sunday, Nov. 19th:
11:00 a. m., "The Commission Form of Government a Moral Uplift In Municipal Affairs," or "God Save the People;" 7:00 p. m., "Organ Recital;"
7:30 p. m., "Song Service."
The minister will educate his audience on the fundamental principles of the commission form of government at the morning service. In our opinion one of the reasons why our people are not as progressive as others is the opportunity to speak on a lively issue is very often allowed to pass by unchallenged. Denver is looking forward to the adoption of this municipal form of government. There is an opportunity to acquaint yourselves. In connection with the night service ample time will be devoted to the explanation of the cause that necessitated the writing of some of the dear old hymns that the churches sing today. Everybody will be welcome to a seat. Next Thursday night at 8 o'clock the second of the series of lectures will be delivered at this church. A specially built chart will illustrate the lecture, "HARD FACTS DARKER PEOPLES SHOULD KNOW." The skeleton of the lecture is as follows: 1. Darker People a Man In Com
2. The Contributing Causes of His Color.
3. His Contribution To the Ancient World's Civilization.
4. The Negro Not Alone In the Boat of Vassalage.
5. Logical Causes of His Apparent Present Backward Condition.
6. Witnessed.
The lecturer is respectfully requesting the auditors to be on time. To begin at a late hour places both the speaker and the spoken-to-ones at a very great disadvantage. We as a people gain nothing save cold that develops into consumption by attending our nightly engagements at an unreasonable hour past the scheduled time for beginning. On the other hand we gain much by reporting on time and then closing on time. Your attention to this friendly request will be very much appreciated. Our Thanksgiving program for day and night will appear in these columns of the next issues. Miss Wilhelmina Boykin, itinerant elocutionist, from Little Rock, Ark., and a product of Shorter and Philander Colleges, will entertain our people on Thanksgiving night in her sensational act "The Maniac." A well-spent night can be yours if you hear her.

LECTURE OF DR. MASON.
At the People's church on Friday night there was assembled a fair crowd, numbering many of the city's best thinkers, to hear Dr. M. C. B. Mason, the oratorical genius who is secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society. The address itself dealt with the race in America and in Africa. The burden of it was that inasmuch as the evangelization and civilization of Africa is a duty that the whole world has assumed to some degree, the Negro in America who is blood kin to the native Africans have the greater obligation to undertake this work. Africa offers a home for the pioneer the same as any new country, said he, but whether we desire to continue to live in America or not, the duty is ours to do our part, the greater part of the work of evangelization.
The address was sprinkled with bright stories and embellished with the choice of English, delivered in the inimitable manner which has made Dr. Mason famed as an orator from coast to coast. He was frequently interrupted with applause. At all times he was pleasing not merely for the style of address but also for the sound thinking which he evidenced. It is really superfluous to comment upon the lecture, for so well is his reputation established that it is sufficient to say that Dr. Mason lectured.
The proceeds were for the benefit of Scott church.
Scott church again came into the limelight on Tuesday evening when, for its benefit, Bishop I. B. Scott, the only Negro so honored in the Methodist Episcopal church, spoke to a large audience at Christ church. The subject of his discourse was Africa, especially Liberia.
He spoke entertainingly of the customs, religion, etc., of the natives. In point of knowledge of conditions in Africa, Bishop Scott stands unrivaled among Americans. Then, too, he brings to his subject a sympathetic feeling as well as an intelligent discernment. The audience was about equally divided between the races. Colored people will have an opportunity to hear him again, this time being at Zion church in the missionary meeting tomorrow.

No Combination In Race For Bishopric, Says Dr. Beckett.
While many candidates for the A. M. E. bishopric and election to other posts as connectional officers are hustling among their friends for support comes the announcement from the Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett, secretary of missions for the denomination, that he will not enter into any combination or undignified fight for the position. He has been assured of hearty support by those of the denomination who stand for capability and clean living.
During the years that he has been in charge of the department of missions, with headquarters at 61 Bible House, New York city, he has made an enviable record for efficiency. In South Carolina, where he served for nearly two decades, he is a general favorite, and his conference will most likely record itself as strongly urging his candidacy. From very reliable sources it is learned that the Rev. John Hurst, financial secretary of the denomination, and the Rev. G. W. Allen, editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, will be elected, along with Dr. Beckett, to the episcopacy. Dr. Hurst is regarded as one of the most efficient financial secretaries that the denomination has ever had.
Harris Victor In Cross Country Run.
In the monthly cross country run of the Bradhurst Field club in New York the second week in November Thomas Harris of the Glencoe Athletic club made a remarkable sprint. The distance was three and one-half miles, which Mr. Harris covered in 18 minutes and 5 seconds. Among his ablest opponents were J. Williams of the Morningside Athletic club and J. Stark of the Pastime Athletic club, who finished second and third, respectively.
Jones and Dancy as Campaigners.
Attorney Thomas L. Jones and the Hon. John C. Dancy did some very effective work in the gubernatorial campaign in Maryland. Both men are well known for their knowledge of public affairs and their consistent loyalty to the Republican party. Each of them has taken part in state and national politics for many years.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald blaces of the head, many persons soorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapid-achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine wilt it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

Instances of Injustice.
Desperate diseases require desperate remedies. We confess that our declaration last week that from this time on we were going to fight for the Negro race, be it right or wrong, was not logical, but we believe that the unfortunate position in which we are placed needs some such desperate remedy. There is no logic in the opposition to us, and we need none in defending ourselves.
The governor of South Carolina will find plenty of supporters in his attempt to hold his office at the same time that he is giving open encouragement to persons who break the law by lynching. Christians have so long withheld the benefits of their religious work from Negroes, that it no longer is considered hypocritical to talk of the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man, and at the same time exclude Negroes from religious organizations. The Sunday School workers, the world-wide missionary movement among laymen, the Y. M. C. A., and similar Christian organizations play the Pharisee toward Negroes.
Public school officials, who boast that the American public school takes the children of a hundred races, melts their racial characteristics in its crucible of education and turn out Americans. Yet the great majority of Negroes are denied equal opportunity to be thus educated. And when they do acquire education over obstacles, these same white school officials who think a colored woman good enough to nurse their children 24 hours in the day at home, do not think a colored teacher good enough to instruct them six hours a day at school. The one may be uneducated, full of superstition or what not. In fact the old "mammy" has a halo on her brow to their way of thinking. But the twentieth century Negro woman, equipped to do a teacher's work, willing to be measured beside any woman of the more favored race, is not good enough
The Boy Scouts is an organization that originated in England, designed to make of the enervated city-bred English boy, a fit scion of the mighty race the tight little isle once held. It was transplanted into America. It is fair to presume that its purpose here is to make boys manlier, stronger, more self-reliant, better lovers of nature. We cannot see how these desirable qualities will be any less effective for white boys if colored boys also are trained in scouting. Yet so steeped in prejudice are the Denver officials of the boy scout movement, that they are not willing that colored boys be enrolled, even in a patrol of their own. Surely the great Creator of the Universe must be appalled at His work now that He has created men so selfish, so narrow, that they feel the joy and sunshine which comes into their lives, is lessened be cause a few poor Negroes also have them.
We might go on indefinitely giving illustrations of the workings of race prejudice just as hypocritical, just as senseless, just as surely destructive of the manhood of the people that practice them. For thanks be to God, not on the one against whom it is directed does injustice act most, but against the doer.
No man can say that he will go so far in wrong doing and stop. He undermines his character, he dwarfs his judgment, he increases his cupidity, until retribution comes. The tarring of the young woman teacher the other day; the wanton destruction of property and taking of life in labor riots; the night riders of Kentucky; the hundreds of murders which go unpunished; the downright immorality betrayed by the records of the divorce courts; the pitiful subserviency of the courts to money are the legitimate outcome of the lynching of Negroes; the destruction of our property and taking of our lives by whitecaps; the Klukkluk Klans; the concubinage of slavery days; and the injustice of the present-day courts which legalize the taking of the Negro's rights by any white man.
We confess again that we are not logical, but we believe that since but few men are found great-hearted enough to be our friends even when we are right, we should rally to the assistance of every Negro who is right and consider him wrong only after he has been tried and found guilty to the satisfaction of our own consciences.
"My race, may it always be right, But my race, right or wrong!"

LEADERSHIP OF REV.J.E.NASH
His Influence and Work as Minister and Citizen.
Brief Account of the Activities of the Broad Minded, Energetic and Successful Pastor of the Michigan Street Baptist Church In Buffalo, Who Is Held In High Esteem.
By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN, Buffalo.—One of the ablest and most influential pastors in this city is the Rev. J. Edward Nash, the successful and energetic pastor of the Michigan Street Baptist church. During his pastorate the Rev. Mr. Nash has made a splendid record both as a man and pastor. Besides his work as a pastor, he is interested in many helpful movements having for their aim the betterment of the race. The splendid citizenship of the Rev. Mr. Nash has made him a force in the life of the city, which has also helped the race.
Like most pastors who do things, the Rev. Mr. Nash is of the progressive type and is constantly bringing things to pass.
He was born in Virginia and educated at the Virginia Union university, graduating both from the academic and theological departments. He began his active ministerial career in 1892, coming to Buffalo from his first charge, where he has remained ever since.
His long pastorate in this city shows the esteem and confidence in which he is held by the members of his church.
The church has had a steady growth under his pastorate. He is active in the ministerial life of the city and is held in the highest esteem by the white clergymen of Buffalo. He holds the responsible position of secretary of the ministerial conference and clerk of the Buffalo Baptist association, two of the strongest white denominational organizations in the city and state. This position carries along with it considerable power, and the
REV. J. EDWARD NASH.
signature of the Rev. Mr. Nash must be upon every certificate of a young minister who is to be ordained. This brings him constantly in contact with the members of the other race. He has appeared before many white audiences in Buffalo and on all occasions has done credit to the race and to himself. The name of the Rev. Nash has become a fixture here, and few men exert greater influence in the moral and intellectual life of the people than he. His life has been an inspiration to scores of young men and women who have come in contact with him.
Rev. Mr. Nash has an especially pleasing and forceful personality and quickly impresses one with his intense interest in the things which are enubbling and uplifting. He has a strong faculty for making friends, which accounts largely for his success as pastor.
When asked what type of a man should a minister be and his relation to public affairs, he replied: "I believe a minister should above all things be a man and strive to be the best possible citizen. If this is done he will naturally take an interest in affairs that are helpful." Mr. Nash has a frank, honest manner and seeks in his statements never to exaggerate or overstate. His policy is broad, and he shows an interest in all good movements, irrespective of denomination.
The Coming Nation Is Approaching.
We hear much of jimcrow car laws, segregation and disfranchisement of the colored citizens in the United States, but we all know that legally no citizen is disfranchised according to the constitution. Let every colored man in all parts of the country unite in every lawful endeavor to have his manhood rights respected. The time is coming when a national test case will be made and this government will have to return to its laws and put them into action so as to apply to all citizens alike in both national and state legislation. The influx of foreigners will have great weight in the settlement of the much lamented and disgraceful condition of affairs. The coming nation is approaching.
NEW AWAKENING IN EDUCATION
Training School In Durham Crowded With Students.
Institution Founded by Dr. James E. Shepard Begins Second Year With a Large Enrollment of Young Afro-Americans Who Are Anxious to Get an Education.
By GEORGE FRANCIS KING.
Durham, N. C.—The young Afro-Americans in this section of the country show unusual interest in preparing themselves for a life of ennobling service. They disregard obstacles that seemingly would cool their ardor for acquiring knowledge and with peculiar ability find out what nature has fitted them to accomplish. An appreciable sign of this statement is found in the recent opening of the National Religious Training school in this city. With a faculty composed of teachers from the leading institutions of the country who are capable of reaching the student and creating the proper conception of his ability to contribute his share to the work at hand, with nearly every room in the men's and women's dormitories taken by students from a number of states, with a student from Africa and one from India to receive training for missionary work in their native lands, with a real college spirit analogous to that of the big four universities environing the students the beginning of the second year's work of this institution is an exceptional feature of educational activities promoted in the interest of Afro-Americans.
Interest in classical music, with folls songs of the race, is an enlivening feature of the school's work under the direction of Professor C. G. O'Kelly vice president of the institution. Professor O'Kelly is one of the most experienced pedagogues the race has and his work as an educator is widely known. The band and orchestra of
the school compare favorably with similar organizations when the age of the school is taken into consideration There is a sufficient number of advanced musical students to enable the orchestra to feature on the program several well known overtures of the masters. These organizations reflect the serving credit upon Professor O'Kelly
The school is a recognized factor in eliciting the interest of the white people of this section. Among the white people generally there is seemingly a desire to help the progressive Afro-American to succeed. The white business men are particularly interested in helping the school in reaching the masses of the race. Since the school stands for educating the student according to nature's limitation and not trying to make a professional man out of a youth destined for a farmer nor a mechanic or a farmer out of a boy or girl who is capable of becoming a professional person it is highly encouraging to note the material interest of the representative white people of North Carolina in the institution. From present indications the school will be all that its energetic founder has planned for it to become.
International Secretary W. A. Hunton spoke to the young men of the institution recently, and with the spirit for the making of the athletic department of the school one producing representative athletes there is a similar spirit among the young men to make the Y. M. C. A. of the school second to none among the colleges of the race Professor Carl Diton, the well known pianist, who is a shining light in the musical world, gave a recital at the institution recently, which was largely attended.

The record of Afro-Americans as students in the leading colleges of New England dates back as far as 1826, when the first colored student graduated from Bowdoin college. There have been colored students in nearly all the great schools of the country, and in the main they have made good. T. McCants Stewart, the emininet jurist, now on the supreme bench in Liberla, graduated from the University of South Carolina, several years ago with high honors.
Tuskegee Institute Leads Them All. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, who has given and also offered large sums for Y. M. C. A. work among Afro Americans on condition, made a visit to Fiskie university and Tuskegee institute recently, says. "I don't believe there is a white industrial school in America or anywhere else that compares with Mr. Washington's at Tuskegee."

SAVED MANY FROM DEATH.
BEST WORKMAN IN THE CITY
W. L. Mock, of Mock, Ark., believes he has saved many lives in his 25 years of experience in the drug business. "What I always like to do," he writes, "is to recommend Dr. King's New Discovery for weak, sore lungs, hard colds, hoarseness, obstinate coughs, lagripe, croup, asthma or other bronchial affection, for I feel sure that a number of my neighbors are alive and well today because they took my advice to use it. I honestly believe its the best throat and lung medicine that's made." Easy to prove he's right. Get a trial bottle free, or regular 50c or $1.00 bottle. Guaranteed by all drummers.

PRYOR'S DOP ON SPORT AND ST
PRYOR'S DOPE ON SPORTS AND STAGE
THE QUESTION—HOW SHOULD WE, THE YOUNG NEGRO, VOTE?
Politics! What is the meaning of that word politics? We, the young Negroes, have been taught to believe that the word politics means government, a law made by the people for the good of all, irregardless of creed or color. But does the laws of the states and counties live up to their proviso to the Negroes as they should? Some twenty or thirty years ago there were only two or three different political parties, but today are at least a half dozen and they all claim that they and their party are for the people, and for better rights and a whole lot of other junk that we have yet to see. Take the Negro in the game of politics and what does he amount to? Or what is there in the game for the Negro? Well, we are human the same as the white man and we feel that it is our duty to have a word as a great many of the Negroes all over the country are big taxpayers and they certainly have a right to that much if it is only to be a voter and nothing more in politics. But we, the young Negroes of today, want to do something more than to be a common voter. We want position with these said parties, but the most important question we young Negroes have to ask is which way should we cast our votes. We used to think that the Republican party was the only party for the Negro, but we of this day and time must see more good of the old party, or of both parties, the Republicans and Democrats. And I think that the party which gives the Negro the best chance is the party to side in with and we should be given some consideration as the Negro vote throughout the whole country is large and means much to both.
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATH LETIC CLUB.
The now famous resort for gentlemen is the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club, known the world over as being the swellest club in the country for the colored man. The management is excellent and for keeping up appearances the Rocky can't be beat. And the president of the club, Mr Victor Walker, is going to have the whole building painted in the spring with a beautiful lawn surrounding the house, which will give it a more aristocratic appearance and the doors are open to all men that conduct themselves as gentlemen. So, men, if you are looking for a place to spend a few pleasant minutes, don't forget to come to the Rocky.
COLORED THEATER-GOERS.
The colored people who attend the different theaters where there are colored acts to be played, don't seem to be as appreciative of the colored acts that appear at different times as they should be. That is they are not as demonstrative with their applause for the colored acts as the whites are with the white performers and applause is what makes the actor an actor. If it wasn't for the public sentiment the performers would have an awful hard time trying to reach their highest ambitions. So whenever you see a colored act give them plenty hand for it always helps.
THE BIG GAME OF FOOTBALL
THANKSGIVING DAY
One of the largest crowds or gathering of colored people ever witnessed in Denver at one time was last Thanksgiving day out to University Park in attendance to the football game played between the Y. M. C. B.'s and the Kansas City team, and this year's Thanksgiving day it is hoped that the crowd will be larger than last year. The game gives prospects of being a harder contested one and the Y. M. C. B.'s are training harder to meet their rivals, the Fort Russell football team, than they did

COLORED JOCKEY'S BIG SALARY.
James Winkfield, the great colored American jockey, who has been riding for a big Russian nobleman for several years at a salary of $6,000 per year, has signed a contract to ride for an Austrian count at the salary of $9,000 a year.
THE WHITTMAN SISTERS.
The Whittman sisters, known all over the country as the greatest colored sister team in vaudeville, will soon be seen at the Pantages theater of this city with a new line of work for the public.
MORRIS BEATS GEYER IN NINE ROUNDS.
Carl Morris, the Oklahoma white hope, easily beat Denver Jack Geyer, another white man's hope, last Monday night, in nine round, the fight being stopped by the referee. And now Morris is all puffed up over the prospects of meeting once more his downfall. Jim Flynn, who has consented to meet him once more to show him that he is not a hope and if so a lost hope, for he himself appears to be the best white man in the ring today, and I don't think that Morrish can do any better the next time he meets Flynn than he did the last time they fought.
DIXIE KID BEATS SUMMERS.
In what was to have been a 20- round - bout last week in London, Dixie Kid, supposed to be the champion colored welterweight of the world, beat Johnny Summers, the English welterweight, in the second round. And now the Kid is going to feather his nest as he has many good offers already and no doubt he will accept some of the easy money.
JACK JOHNSON IN BAD:
JACK JOHNSON IN BAD.
It is rumored that Champion Jack Johnson is fast losing his great popularity abroad and will soon be back in the land of the living. And it is also rumored that he and his wife are on the verge of a big split up, so maybe he should come home.
A FATHER'S VENGEANCE
would have fallen on any one who attacked the son of Peter Bondy, of South Rockwood, Mich., but he was powerless before attacks of Kidney trouble. "Doctors could not help him Electric Bitters and he improved him," he wrote, "so at last we gave wonderfully from taking six bottles. Its th ebest Kidney medicine I ever saw." Backache, Tired feeling, Nervousness, Loss of Appetite, warn of Kidney trouble that may end in dropsy, diabetes or Bright's disease. Beware: Take Electric Bitters and be safe. Every bottle guaranteed. 50c at all druggists.
