Read W. B. Townsend's Address in Next Week's Issue FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN NEWS FROM NEIGHBORING CITIES Twenty-Third Year NEWS F NEIGHE LA JUNTA, COLO. Thursday evening, Thanksgiving day, Nov. 30th, 1911. After a beautiful sunshiny day, about 6 p. m., a number of guests were invited to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, 310 West Second street, to witness a feast. A turkey and everything that consists of a Thanksgiving dinner was found. Three very delicious courses were served, followed by interesting toasts, after which all were seated in the parlor and listened to some of Mr. Edison's favorites. Those present were Mrs. L. Smothers, Miss B. Smothers, Mrs. Jack Badgett, Mrs. Brown, Rev. S. M. Smothers, Dr. R. A. Holt, Mr. Jack Badgett, Mr. Harris, one of our young military men. All who were present wished. Thanksgiving came twice a year instead of once. CHEYENNE NOTES. (M. V. Gaskin.) The Thanksgiving concert and support given by the Stewardess Board No. 2, was in every way a success.

The Thanksgiving social which was given by the Mount Olive Baptist church was a delightful affair. Everybody enjoyed themselves and seemed thankful for their prosperity in this last year. Rev. Brannon preached in the morning, although the crowd was small. The None Such Club met Friday, as usual, and are going to put forth efforts to help raise the $700 that Mt. Olive Baptist church is rallying for now. Rev. Walter Brannon is the successful composer of a reading entitled "Men Wanter." This is just one of his many Biblical readings. We hope for him success in his work in Canon City. The B. Y. P. U. met at 6:30 Sunday evening, topic being "Eternal Life." The subject was splendidly discussed. Miss N. Waters was elected president of the society. Mr. Kye Hollidays rendered a beautiful mandolin solo. The church services for today were as follows: Sunday school at 9:45 a. m. Mrs. D. L. Burton, superintendent. D. L. Burroon, superintendent Preaching 11 a. m., subject, "The Needed Commandment." B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 p. m. At 7 o'clock p. in. preaching. Subject, "Contrietry Neglect." The Farther Lights Club will meet Thursday night, 8:00 p. m. Prayer meeting Wednesday night, led by Mrs. C. Moore. The Missionary Society meets the second and third Tuesday in each month. The lot rally is on and will be until we raise $700 to pay for our church lot, so that we can have a place that we can call our own. The Negroes have no place in this city that they call their own church, and we know that the good people of this city will help us that we may build up our people in every way. WALTER BRANNOM, Pastor. Moody Bruton is working hard on his play this week. SIGNAL VICTORY FOR THE RACE Echoes of the Recent Political Upheaval in Maryland. RIGHT TO VOTE CONTINUED. Third Consecutive Defeat of Various Measures Intended to Deprive Colored Citizens of Their Constitutional Prerogative—Optimism of Dr. Lyon—Dr. Alexander's Good Work. Baltimore.—With the election of Phillips Lee Goldsborough as governor, the second Republican since the civil war, the colored voters have taken on new hope so far as the right of franchise is concerned. The defeat of the Digges disfranchising bills by a large sized majority marked the third successive defeat that race disfranchise-ment has received in this state within PETER H. BURKE REV W. M. ALEXANDER, D. D. the past six years. The newly elected legislature will be Democratic, but will lack the necessary constitutional majority for the passing of any disfranchising amendments and also will not have the opportunity to pass any measures over the governor's veto unless some Republicans should vote with the Democrats. The auxiliary Republican committee rendered most effective work during the recent campaign, and its work among the colored voters was the best that has been done by the race in years. Prior to 1895, when Isaac Myers, Causmann Gaines, Bishop Wayman, Thomas Chester, William F. Taylor and Hiram Watty were active in politics, colored men stood for something in the party councils. With the advent of Collector of the Port William F. Stone into leadership the influence of colored men in the party councils --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 9, 1911. dwindled to such an extent that a white man was first chosen to line up the colored voters in the last campaign. A strenuous protest against this proceeding was made by Dr. Ernest Lyon, Rev W. A. C. Hughes, Rev A. L. Gaines and others. The formation of the auxiliary committee was the result. Dr. Lyon, who is a former minister to Liberia, was the chairman. He was ably assisted by Rev W. A. C. Hughes as secretary and Rev A. L. Gaines as treasurer. Dr. Gaines is being prominently mentioned for the editorship of the Christian. He has considerable experience as a journalist and is regarded as one of the most progressive and best equipped ministers in the A. M. E denomination. members of the Sunday school be remembered. Come out and your presents for your friend place them on the tree. There a funny Santa Claus who will presents to the children.

Women's M "I am highly gratified," said Dr. Lyon a few days after the election. "that our efforts were signally rewarded. It spells a new era for the race in Maryland. The fact that we raised money to carry on our campaign means that we are deeply interested in maintaining our rights as citizens. The auxiliary means that we cannot afford to let others do our work." Dr. W. M. Alexander, who has been president of the Suffrage league through three disfranchisement campaigns, was one of the hardest workers in the recent campaign. He worked harmoniously with Dr. Lyon and his vigilant corps of campaign workers. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Clarkson Streets. Dr. R. A. Randolph will preach Sunday morning and Dr. B. T. Vincent eminent brother of Bishop Vincent will deliver the message in the evening. You are invited to hear these gospel preachers.

There was a sweet spirit of harmony among the workers that made everybody happy who worked. We wish to thank one many givers, workers and patrons who helped to make this the best Thanksgiving dinner during the history of the church. Full reports of the receipts will be read at the next meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society. This is the third year of remarkable success of this very important auxiliary. There will be a waffle supper served at the church on December 15th Every one purchasing a ticket for this occasion will be served free with an order of hot waffles. Mrs. Anna Dawson is the chairman of the committee. The third quarterly conference will be held on the third Sunday in this month.

E., "The course of a Worker's Strength," Col. 1: 9:13. 7:30 p. m., Woman's Missionary Society program. Western Star lodge of the United Brothers of Friendship has elected the following officers for the coming term. DANIEL JONES, W. M. R. M. GRIFSBY, Sec. A mining expert, C. K. O'Byrne, has made an examination of the Golden Chest mine recently, and his report is flattering in the extreme. Few people realize that for the work done, the showing of value on the mine is equal to any of the famous properties of Colorado. Mr. O'Byrne speaks of the mine as a certain investment which will bring returns when the tunnel, now being driven, reaches the vein. The doll contest on last Friday night at Zion church was a fitting close to a most remarkable celebration of the anniversary of the church. This year, different to former ones the church undertook to entertain and feed free of charge all who came. The first two evenings were given over to a program made up largely of history of the church. They were well attended. But on the last night there was not room to stir. The best of good will obtained amid the keenest rivalry. The large doll went to Miss Gilberta Walton, who brought in eighty-odd dollars, the largest sum Mrs. Elliston, with nearly sixty dollars, received the second prize, a smaller doll. More than $200 was brought in by the seven contestants. If money talks and is the measure of the heart throbs, Miss E. B. DeLany, who spoke at Zion church Sunday night, must have reached the hearts of her hearers. More than $60,00 was given her after hearing her recital of the work to be accomplished by missionaries in Africa. Miss DeLany enjoys the distinction of being the only woman who alone has left civilization behind and gone into the interior, and more than that, has move into eastern Africa, usually left alone. She is a woman of large mold, with such a gift of speech that strong men wept at her recital of the work and hardships in Africa. How much she impressed her audience can be understood from the fact that her coming to Zion Sunday was unheralded. On Tuesday she addressed the women and they too were led to help her, which they did by forming an auxiliary to help, named in her honor. Mrs. Anna Baptiste suffered some injuries by a fall this week. Yesterday there occurred the marriage of Mrs. Beatrice Denson and Mr. Leon Pryor. Chas. Jones is enjoying a vacation from the postoffice. Edward C. Atkins has been selected as head waiter at the Stock Yards Commercial club. This is the new club which serves the cattle dealers at the stock yards. Curtis Harris is fact recovering his usual good health. While not yet floored, the Hod Carriers' hall presents something of the appearance it will have when completed. Carpenters are at work upstairs, which will be floored with mahole for dancing. It has ample rooms for dressing purposes and a small stage. A TERRIBLE BLUNDER To neglect liver trouble. Never do it.

On Wednesday the News, which is admitted to be the fairest paper in Denver with colored people, presented on its first page, with plenty of space and large heads, the story of petty thieving by two Negroes. Their race was prominently brought out. On Thursday in an obscure place it told how three Negro farmers, because their white neighbors disliked them, were burned to death along with their load of seed cotton while on their way to mill. This time, however, there was no first page position, no scare heads, no space writing. A colorless item is enough where not only life but life and property are an lawfully destroyed by white friends; a cleverly written story where petty thieving hold Negroes up to scorn. And the News is the friendliest paper in Denver! Multiply the effect of these simple news items a thousand times, and it is apparent what obstacles exist to a proper understanding of our position in this country. It is no wonder that we plead with our readers to hold up the arms of the race press. Read the race paper! Support it with your money! Patronize its advertisers! Tell them that you do so because they advertise in YOUR paper! Rally to the colored men who lead the fight for justice! Cling to the white friends who be believe that right knows no color! Give your moral support to our brethren who are driven to the last ditch in the South and rise to defend their lives! Acquit yourselves like men! PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND. There is too much of abuse and too little argument just now over the commission form of municipal government. The Statesman is frank to say that it fears the partisan who deals in abuse, for it feels that if he had argument he would use it. The people have a right to hear the good points about the commission form. Until the real issues are set forth, they cannot make sure whether a real reform is proposed, or it is the same old plain of the "outs" to get next to the pie counter. Maybe we are a little dense, but certainly we feel little disposed to accept unreservedly a new system simply because there have been grand rascals under the old. If the one side is all vile and the other side all good, this is the first time that such conditions ever existed. We suggest to our readers, inasmuch as the world has wagged along thus far with what has been the custom, that they keep cool for a few months. Junger while the orators orate, and the politicians "formist and against" explain. Then make a choice. Don't get taken off your feet by the same old claptrap that has gulled voters since the republic was established. PROGRAM OF DUNBAR LITERARY SOCIETY To be rendered at Central Baptist church Wednesday evening: Chorus, by the society. Invocation, Mr. Wm. Hill. Duett, Mesdames Epperson and Center.

Tuesday evening at Shorter's church an elaborate five-course dinner was served to the warriors of the gridiron and the executive board. The affair will be long remembered by those present as one of the swellest spreads ever given in Denver. A number of the fair sex rendered excellent services as waitresses and it was their sweet faces that took the appetites of the bashful boys. The banquet hall was artistically decorated with palms and cut flowers and in the center a skull was hung, which represented all that was left of Troop I. Miss Vera Ward, the clever keyboard ticker, who has just returned from Chicago with all the latest songs, presided at the piano. Miss Senora Finley acted as headwaitress. She was able assisted by Misses Myrtle Brown, R. Montgomery, L. Jones, H. Robinson, Z. Fisher, M. Eubank, H. Thrashley, A. Downy, Grace and Irene Walker, Leana and Odra Linzy. Mr. J. C. Porter blessed the table, after which Rev. A. M. Ward, "father," made an address, "Why We Are What We Are." Dr. C. D. DeFrantz, president, acted as toastmaster. He called on the following gentlemen: Scotty Williams, L. Perkins, F. Wood, E. Plummer, A. Valley, D. Catlett, E. Robinson, Hazard W. Parks, C. Holmes, Jr., Wm. Linzy, F. Clements and T. V. Ward. Mr. Van Ness Johnson presented the "Y" to the players eligible of this honor. Much spirit prevailed. The great Musical Congress, at Campbell, Monday evening, Dec. 11, by Mrs. Lillian Jones, Miss Garth and Prof. Spikes, the composer of music and inventor of musical novelties. The greatest treat of the season. Admission 25c. LADIES, READ THIS! The recital of Madam Hackley at Zion church Monday night was a triple treat. First of all, her singing, which was a treat; her lecture, which was interesting and instructive; last but not least, her personality which was provocative of the profoundest respect because of the ambitions she has and captivating in a large degree. In addition to all these, she is first and foremost a woman of tact who knows how to season the deepest truths and profoundest lessons with its eshance of humor so that it is palatable. She began singing about 8:30 and the church was already seated. The Azalia Hackley Choral club formed an escort of honor and were seated in the choir loft. From the Polonaise, from Mignon, her opening piece, to the close of the first part, there was singing, the madame accompanying herself. Her explanations of each piece made it the better appreciated, and the audience again and again was swept with applause. The second part was largely lecture. Madam Hackley explained how the peculiar formation of the Negro head provided the best possible singing facilities. It is brains, work and instruction that we lack. She told how it is her intention to devote the rest of her life to going up and down country telling the school children how to use their voices, how to cultivate their musical ability. Her audience was thrilled with parts of her remarks, for her address was full of power. Then she would make the risabilities rise with her imitations of people, with her keen thrusts at their foibles and with her artless stories of her own experiences. --- Good goods, Large Stock.

Mrs. Rebecca Mosby, who was a member of the E. O. S., upon joining the lodge named her husband as her beneficiary to receive the sum of $100 to be paid to him at her death, but it came to pass that Mr. Mosby died and after him his wife died without naming any one to receive the $100 J. D. Anderson, brother of Mrs. Mosby, claimed the money and brought suit to recover the same. Lawyer Townsend contended that her brother and no other person is entitled to the money, but that it reverts to the lodge treasury, because Mrs. Mosby did not own the money, had no interest in it, had only the power to say in her life time to whom it should go at her death, and when she failed to name some one to take the money, the right died with her, and J. D. Anderson cannot take the $100 as next of kin. The court and the law sustains Mr. Townsend's contention and the case was decided in favor of the Prince Hall Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star. J.

Law or Anarchy? The Clayton addition agitation against a colored man building there is assuming alarming proportions The Statesman is told by one of the protestants in Thursday night's meeting that the press report is overdrawn. However, it is clear that unless judgment takes the place of passion, serious trouble may come. However little Clayton folk may like a colored neighbor, it is no less than a colored citizen likes to be driven from his property by threats. We believe that thinking people, white as well as colored, would prefer to see the matter settled in the courts rather than by self-appointed committees. The suggestion that the colored man will occupy the home at his own risk carries with it the possibility that he may be willing to assume the risk, an eventuality no one would like to see. So long as the Clayton addition protest is settled by way of the courts, the community can afford to keep hands off, but for fear it may not be, we make haste to suggest to colored citizens a plan that will encourage interference by authorities in the interest of peace. It is one of the bad features of race friction that the whites best disposed and soundest in judgment rarely exert themselves to stop the firebrands from making trouble. We suggest an appeal through the pocket. Let the colored citizens of Denver make known to the Convention League, the Chamber of Commerce and the Real Estate Exchange their rights within the law, and demand that the law have its way. If the community endorses lawlessness after that, we can do as the conditions warrant. UNIONISM SEEMS TO BE INVOLVED IN THE DYNAMITING. It will take more than their own word to clear labor leaders of complicity in the dynamite plots to which the McNamara brothers have confessed. When laboring men become such sheep that they join a union and empower vicious men to act as their representatives, they are doing their own cause an injustice. It makes no difference that they do not wich violence and are ignorant that it proceeds from their leaders. They are responsible for their own acts and for the acts of their agents. They are responsible for the least of their associates in the great court of public opinion. There is not the slightest doubt of the validity of labor's claim that unionism has improved the conditions of the worker. But certainly this improvement has come in spite of rather than because of some things, such as violence for instance. When labor learns that and when it goes in for winning all working men into its ranks, rather than establishing a monopoly of work for a favored few, it will have become really a formidable opponent to capital. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY LOSES AN ASSET. It has been a long time since the Statesman has expressed its opinion of Senator Guggenheim, but we were emphatic in our preference for him. We are gratified that now his work for the state in the senate has found recognition even at the hands of his political opponents. It lessens the praise not one bit that it comes on the occasion of his declaration that he is not a candidate for re-election. From the standpoint of the colored voter, his equal will be hard to find. The attacks upon the Negro in the enjoyment of his rights as an American citizen have long since passed the stage where a mob takes life; it is years since disfranchisement has practically destroyed the right of franchise; now the danger that confronts us is the possibility that property rights will go the way of life and of ballot. We need men in office whose sympathies are with us sufficiently to be more than passive when danger threatens. We venture the opinion that the majority that know we are unjustly treated is large. But the indifference which most people have where we are concerned, whether it arises from political expediency or natural cowardice to defend the weak, is a poor shield against the active hate of the few who seek to do us harm. We have felt certain that Senator Guggenheim would stand alone if need be in defense of justice for us.—a thing which we are not so sure of where others are concerned. Republicans need to remember this, and in the degree that success in Colorado will depend upon our vote here next year, they need to present senatorial candidates who will be acceptable to us. While we cannot present a majority opinion on men and measures we may be the little factor that will decide the election. Phone Main 7905.

The article which appeared in this paper last week from the pen of Ray Clark, which called for the establishment of a home for the Y. M. C. B. now deserves attention. The young are the hope of the race. Even the dominant race feels the need of caring for their young men and women, and maintain a dozen institutions for helping them. Negroes need help so much the more. It is not enough to see in the dim and distant future the possibility of a Y. M. C. A. John Harvard gave a few books which, with a few acres of land have become the great university that bears his name, Christian martyrs gave their lives, which blossomed forth in death in the evangelization of the world. Denver need only make a beginning, for the effort will bear fruit if it is deserving. The Public Pulse Colorado Springs, Dec. 5, 1911. To the Editor Statesman: Your many timely and real helpful editorials recently are worthy of praise and comment. How clearly you have depleted the race's faults and weakness, and so true are your suggestions, that I wish every one of us would determine to put them in execution. On every hand our leaders through newspapers and magazines are warning and pleading with us to stand firm, until I imagine that we surely are the most ungrateful race on earth. If a Jew calls the attention of his race to a mustreatment of any of his race, very quickly will they unite to remedy the fact. We have prejudice among ourselves to fight and prejudice with the whites to combat, and seeing our weaken, link unity, how much more then should we be as your motto, "Our race first and last. Our race, right or wrong." We must go up together, support our leaders, our professionals and business men and women. Rejoice at the success of our race. Boost! We ought to organize a colored boosters loving mother and grandmother. Just club in every city or town in the United States. MRS. JULIA EMBRY CHURCH FINANCES. Financiering lies at the very basis of all organized church work. If the pastors and officers are a failure here they will be a failure at every other point. No church can hope to succeed that does not pay its honest debts. "Owe no man" is the injunction of holy writ. If the church is to be as fair as the moon and as terrible as an army with banners, she will have to adopt the Bible method of giving. We should give frequently (1 Cor. 16: 2). "Upon the first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come." If this method is made operative in our churches today, there will be no need of the public parade at every service. We have to collect money to carry on God's church. Christians should remember that the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein. He said to Moses, "Tell the children of Israel if they will hearken and obey my words, I will make them my peculiar people," etc. "Tell them that the land is mine and I will make it produce for them." It is the duty of every person to give to the support of the church; male and female, the high and the low salaried; none should appear before the Lord with empty hands. We should give orderly and cheerfully. We should reserve God's part, if kept away by the rain or snow, and give it when we come. In the Bible methods of giving can be restored and lived up to by every member of the church, more souls will be saved and brought into the kingdom of Christ, the pastors will be better cared for and the debts of the church will be promptly paid. Our present day methods of conducting the finances of the churches are a flat failure and until the membership of the church will rise up in their might and shoulder their individual part of the responsibility, we cannot even hope for prosperity Many of our best sermons are destroyed by the humdrum methods of our collections, and both pastor and people go from the services almost in disgust. Our Savior said on a certain occasion, "Put not new wine into old bottles, else the bottle will break and the wine be lost." This may well apply to the old methods of church collections being put into present day use; they are a failure, and the sooner we break away from them the better it will be for all concerned. But this can only be done by a united effort of the pastor and his people. REV. A. M.

Curtis and Henry Banks. The total vote cast was 1,420. The vote cast was 1,420, 816, 812, 796 and 795, respectively. The other votes were scattered. Gasaway Walton has been threatened with pneumonia from a cold contracted Thanksgiving at the football game. The walls of the McClain home in Clayton addition are rising. The boys who played on the Y. M. C. B. football team this year were guests of the "Y. M." on Tuesday night at Shorter church. There they were regaled with speeches and food. The talks were informal and the food was treated informally. The scene reminded one of the warming over in schools when the season was over. The consensus of opinion is that this year's team was a credit to the city. Mrs. Mary Asbury of Colorado Springs was taken sick and has returned home. Alex Adams was badly manhandled by a gang of roughs this week. Mesdames Rachel Butler and Lillie Moore, while on their way home from the recital, were attacked by a white purse snatcher. Fortunately he got only the handle of the purse. Mrs Butler feels very much pleased, for the purse contained considerable funds of the Choral club. The Elks of Rice lodge have chosen as officers for the next year, Victor Walker, Exalted Ruler; J. W. Leavell, Esteemed Leading Knight; Harvey Groves, Esteemed Loyal Knight; J. A. Harper, Esteemed Lecturing Knight; W. R. Parker, Tyler; King Hayes, secretary; J. R. Contee, treasurer.

THE STATESMAN—6 WASHINGTON HONORS LEWIS Assistant Attorney General Lionized at Great Banquet. FEATURES OF THE OCCASION. Nation Wide Interest Manifested In the Able Boston Lawyer Who Holds a High Position In President Taft's Administration—Makes Strong Pleas For Race Unity. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.—William H. Lewis, assistant attorney general of the United States, was banqueted Monday night, Nov. 27, in the auditorium of True Reformers' hall by over 150 enthusiastic banqueters. The hall was decorated with flags and bunting. A large portrait of President Taft was in the center of a cluster of American flags. The Wilberforcian orchestra played patriotic airs. In the galleries were fashionably dressed ladies of the capital's smart set looking down upon the scene of festivity and merriment. Charles E. Hall, a prominent census official, who was chairman of the committee of management, presented Professor L. M. Hershaw as the toastmaster of the evening. This marked the beginning of the toasts of the evening, which, in point of wit and eloquence, have never been excelled around banquet board at the nation's capital. "Three cheers for Lewis!" These were given with a gusto that marked the high tide of the evening's enthusiasm. "This has been the happiest moment of my life," said Mr. Lewis when he began his remarks. "Today is my forty-third birthday. In crossing the meridian, the counter of life, I am glad to have had with me such a goodly company of friends and comrades. You have certainly given me a warm time. I knew I had arrived at the chloroform age by your attempts to Oserleize me. Never before, sir, have I received from men of my own race such a splendid testimonial of their esteem and regard. I assure you that it touches me most deeply and places me under triple bonds of gratitude and service. "If only we could have true friendship and comradeship of even those gathered here, with faith in them- J. B. HON WILLIAM H. LEWIS. selves and their fellows, indeed we should have the most splendid race the sun ever shone upon. "We could make divine our country here; but, as Daniel O'Connell said, speaking of the Irish race more than half a century ago, 'God knows I speak of the saddest race the sun sees.' So I speak tonight for the most distracted race that the sun sees, a race torn by bitter dissensions, factional feuds and strife I plead today for friendship, for comradeship, between men who desire and are striving for the same thing and the same high ideals of life. We seldom realize that comradeship is the great dynamic force of human progress. The comradeship of Jesus of Nazareth and the twelve disciples made possible our glorious Christian civilization. The evolution of true human democracy and human brotherhood has been going on for centuries, and the process is still going on and will continue until everywhere the world over man to man, a brother shall be for a 'that, for a' that. The time will come when the world will little care for the man of race or color, but will rate him just in proportion as he has made his life useful and honorable and has contributed in the smallest degree to the progress and uplift of humanity. "This banquet, this honor, Mr. Tonstmaster, I cannot and will not take as purely personal. It was meant as much for the office as the man. The high honor of which I hold the mere naked title was meant for you, and the words of our president, 'as a recognition of the progress of the race and an encouragement for the future.' I am only the conduit, a mere accident. I have only one ambition—so to administer the office as to justify the president's selection and the bestowal of this honor upon our race and so to act in all things as not only not to reflect any discredit upon the administration and the race and country, but to reflect the highest possible credit there may be in my humble ability. "I ask you to rise and drink the toast to the president of the United States, our country and our cause." THE STATESMAN PROMOTERS OF BANK PROJECT Spirit of Unfriendly Rivalry Between the Leading Secret and Mutual Benefit Societies In Texas Ceases. Treaty of Peace Signed In Dallas and Co-operation Begins. Fort Worth, Tex.—Prominent Afro-Americans of the Lone Star State will open in this city early in 1912 a bank with a capital stock of $100,000. The promoters of the project are some of the leading fraternal men of the state. The bank will be known as the Fraternal Bank and Trust company. Without doubt this is the greatest project ever undertaken by the colored people of this section of the state, and the ultimate success of the enterprise means in more ways than one very much to our people. For a long time it has been recognized that the secret societies with their large collections in endowment premiums could be utilized as a great agency for good, but heretofore a spirit of rivalry existing between the better known orders prevented any intelligent co-operation. In the various orders zeal to increase their respective membership somewhat handicapped matters. This wrought ruin in many ways. Discontented members and heavy financial drains put the leaders in fraternal circles to thinking and to planning for the betterment of conditions. In the last few years, with all the charges of misconduct and mismanagement, it cannot be denied that all the leading societies have made substantial gains in every direction. And now an era of co-operation seems to be the order of the day. Several weeks ago the representatives of the leading orders met in Dallas and organized what might be termed a joint health bureau, which has for its object the improvement of the living conditions of the members of the different societies, the tabulation of accurate mortality data and the co-operation of the various endowment departments so that each may be informed of unhealthy risks refused by the other. It is likely that $500 will be the standard policy of the Texas lodges. Several orders are paying this amount at present to the heirs of deceased members. Others pay at stated intervals, but likely in the near future all [Name] the orders will pay their claims in full. To do this the societies must remedy the one large defect of their present insurance methods. An adequate reserve fund must be created. The Masons have in a measure provided for this in the erection of a grand lodge temple in this city in which the new Fraternal Bank and Trust company will have its offices. The Knights of Pythias have purchased a fine business lot in Dallas. The Knights of Tabor have bought a good site at Waco, and the U. B. F. grand lodge several years ago purchased a modern business building in the heart of the business district in Houston. This latter lodge is providing for a reserve fund now. Its financial strength will enable it to stretch forth and save hundreds of homes and enable thrifty persons to engage in commercial enterprises on a large scale. The promoters include such influential men as Hon. H. C. Bell, grand master of the Odd Fellows; Dr. A. N. Prince, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias; Rev. J. W. McKinney, grand master of the Masons; Hons. J. R. Nelson and H. D. Winn, Professor W. S. Willis, Dr. B. R. Bluitt and William McDonald, each of whom is a prominent officer, in one of the leading fraternities in the state, and also prominent business men like J. D. Hightower, Tom Mason and William M. McDonald, Jr. Hon. William McDonald, a leading politician and secretary of the Masonic grand lodge, is busily engaged in the selection of the bank furniture and attending to the details for opening the bank the first week in January, 1912 OPENING OF THE NEGRO DOLL SEASON National Negro Doll Company of Nashville, has Announced its Opening for 1911-1912 THERE was great rejoicing when the Negro National Doll Company announced that the season was open and that their dolls were ready for sale and shipment for the coming Christmas.

In 1906 lightning killed only 169 people in this whole country. One's chances of death by lightning are less than two in a million. The chance of death from liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, la., proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bitters. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only 50e at all druggists. Music Furnished For All Occasions H. FLOWERS, Prop. DENVER, GOLO.

He will start for home in the near future, when he is contemplating starting a business in Chicago as soon as he arrives. TOM BASS, THE HORSEMAN Probably the world's greatest horse trainer, Mr. Thomas Bass, well-known all over the world as being the greatest Negro horse trainer, will be in Denver during the horse and stock show to be held in this city the middle of January, 1912. Mr. Bass is said to be the best saddle horse trainer in the country and produces nothing but prize-winners wherever he enters. BATTLING THOMPSON BEATS K O. BROWN. In a hard-tough battle last Thursday day night at Fort Collins, Battling Thompson was given the decision over Kid K. O Brown in their six round bout. The fight was fast and furious all the way through and Kid Brown made the Battler extend himself to the limit. Bat says that Brown is the best man in the state at his weight.

JOE JEANETTE TO FIGHT The big clever Negro boxer of no small amount of ability, Joe Jeanette, has signed articles for several fights in the near future, taking on some of the best men in his class. His first fight will be with Nat Dewey at Nashville, Teen, sometime the end of this month, and then he is matched to box other colored boxers who are said to be comers. NEW WEIGHTS FOR BOXERS Owing to the large number of arguments that arise in the disputes over the weight question of the several different divisions, the New York fight promoters are planning a scale of ring side weights which every man will be forced to make in order to gain a match in New York. The new weights will be as follows: Bantam, 118; feather, 122; light, 135; welter, 145; middle, 158; light heavy, 175; heavyweights, 175 and over. And this is no doubt a very good idea, as there are more men capable of making said weights than those of the former figures. THE PEKIN THEATRE, CHICAGO.

After two years trying to get a license for a moving picture theater, Mrs. Laura Hill was issued the little piece of paper last week by the city and now what is most needed is the theater, and it is hoped that this picture house will excel any of the smaller white houses of the city. Will know more of details next week. JAMES STEWART, THE GLOBE TROTTER. One of the boys, Mr. James D. Stewart, formerly of this city, now residing in Los Angeles, writes, stating that the ambitious young Negro of the coast has all the advantages that he wants and also states that he will soon enter in business. Mr. Stewart was one of the most popular young men in Denver during his stay here and is wished much success and happiness in all of his undertakings on the coast, as he is one of the young Negro business men who will never say dead until he is head. He has a will and says the way will be made possible. And that ain't bad. WILLIS & BURNS The clever team of Raymond Willis and Tommy Burns, two Denver boys, is being looked upon as the coming young Negro musical team of no small ability. The boys are both clever in music and song, and are soon to van度ville with an act that will be a credit to the race. They are arranging their bookings for the Pantages circuit, which will give them a try-out of not less than ten weeks at a neat salary. They are to be wished the greatest of success.
