Hear Madame Hackley Christmas Night at Shorter FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society THE NEED OF A PUBLIC ASSEMBLY Twenty-Third Year THE NEED OF A AS ADDRESS OF W. B. TOWNSEND Before the Sunday Alliance, Upon the Necessity of Such an Organization. Ladies and Gentlemen: I have been invited to speak on "The Necessity of Such an Organization as the Alliance in This City Among Our People." I do not hesitate to declare that there is a crying need for such an organization in our midst. The purposes of which are to bring us closer together for all things which tend to the betterment of the race. The great battles in the industrial, social and religious life and good citizenship can achieve better results by organization and concert of action. It is true that now and then one of us may be able to overcome by an individual effort the combined opposition and fight his or her way through difficulties to the plane of individual success and individual recognition of his or her civil rights; but they are exceptions to the rule which apply to a weak and I dare say defenseless race, in this country, where the laws are made to outrage and disgrace the race, and where those laws which are made for the protection of the race are grossly violated. I quote the Rochester, N. Y., Sentinel: "Too long has the constitution been violated and too long has the Negro been imposed upon, but whenever a Negro spoke out against such things, a band of infinitessimally small and atomic Negro cringers have howled him down by calling him a whiner. Of all contemptible and worthless trash in the Negro race, this set of howling cringers is the most abominable. There is not a United States Senator from the South that has the right to sit in that body if the constitution is to be observed. The South knows this and so does the nation. Many representatives of the South in the lower house of congress are there by reason of open and willful violation of the laws of the land. * * * Every man of the race that is a man and lives in cities where crooks and thieves abound should have some defensive and offensive weapon for the protection of his home. To be unprepared for such emergencies is criminal. * * * The education of the Negro should be as broad as his needs. His needs are similar to the needs of every other race." In proportion to the progress we make in education, industry, frugality, wealth and virtue, we will advance in good citizenship. When we make that showing there will be those of the dominant race who will lend a helping hand to assist us to lead others of the race away from the domain of ignorance, vice and crime into the calm of better and more perfect citizenship. "Reading makes a full man, conversation makes a ready man, writing makes the exact man." By this organization it is proposed to add to our store of knowledge and catch inspiration from good literature and disseminate that knowledge not only in the Alliance, but scatter it in our homes and our social life and transmit to our posterity an imperishable record of our observations and achievements in the race of life. Through this organization we have an opportunity and privilege to express our thoughts concerning our race and may be able in this community to convince others of the wrongs heaped upon the race, by a plea to humanity's cause at the bar of reason, to the jury of conscience, in the court of public opinion, and answer some of the things whereof the race is wrongfully accused. To do this we should devise some way to become better acquainted with our white neighbors who do not know us in our home life, who do not know that all Negroes are not alike, and who do not know how we love and care for the rights of our families and that we would make any sacrifice for the rights of our neighbors' families. The average, yes the majority of our white neighbors know majority of our us only as they see us on the streets or as we perform some sort of menial service for them. Therefore, when we are heard to complain we are often accused of having the grumbling habit, when in fact and in truth, with all the burdens and injustices heaped upon us, we are the most patient and tolerant of any race of people on earth. But to grumble or complain is a God-given right of man, and man will continue to grumble when there is an increase of unfair treatment meted out to him so often by society. Nothing is so destructive of the peace of a community, or so clogs the wheels of progress of society, as an element possessed of the conviction that they are not treated with exact justice. I have said that we should become better acquainted with our white neighbors so that they may better understand us when we demand the right to stand or fall in the sunlight of justice on the foundation of equality, before the law. If we can become well enough acquainted with our white neighbors to let them discover what good there is in us, they will also discover what our contention in life is, and will not be so reluctant in according our contention. We must in some way dispel from the minds of many that phantom of social equality: we must try to convince them that our contention is equality before the law, or, as a convention of ex-slaves expressed it in this manner: "Resolved. That all we ask for is a fair chance." No sensible Negro insists upon or wants any law which will bring about social equality between the races; for he knows that social equality is a question of fitness, geniality and compatibility, and of necessity must regulate itself. Every white person is not the social equal of the other white persons, nor is every Negro the social equal of all other Negroes, but we should recognize the fact that "whatever may be the gradations of society, whatever may be the advantages of entitled rank, still in the essential constituency of the human family that all men are alike and that God is the Father of us all." No person is better than another person because of a difference in color, or because of his wealth, but a person may boast of being better than another, by reason of the fact that he possesses more virtues, more integrity, more sympathy and respect for the rights of all persons than someone else. Indeed that person may be said to be better than some other person. It is not strange that persons not born under the influence of slavery, proscription, denial and persecution and whose view-points are obscured by the haze of traditional prejudice should be able to see but a little merit in our race and guess at the balance. One thing that I have noticed in this city during the time I have resided here is that there is little or no communication between the Negroes and the white people, no recognition unless it is once in every two years, about election time, when, for a few days only we are made to feel how necessary it is for us to be in the community and how important it is for us to interfere in the politics—"better known as the white folks' business." This condition should have a remedy. We should try to become acquainted with our neighbors, there should be pleasant greetings exchanged when we meet; there should be cultivated a broader feeling of friendship between the races to the end that we may have a better understanding upon all things which concern the welfare of both races who of necessity must dwell here in peace. This organization should take the initiative in trying to do something along this line. It might be well to occasionally invite some of the best thinkers from among the white people to visit the Alliance and discuss with us, or for us questions which will be elevating to us and which may bring DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 16, 1911. Tragedy In The Making While Colored Men and Women are Being Discharged from Work by the Score, Our Conditions are Further Menaced by Incendiary and Senseless Talk. The mass meeting at Scott church Sunday afternoon to consider what action should be taken with reference to the opposition to Dr. McClain occupying the home he is building in Clayton Addition, has been the main topic of the week. The statement as finally decided upon by the meeting was peaceful in its tenor. It appealed to all good citizens to help support the law and expressed the belief that no one could be deprived of the use of his property because of his color. The pacific sentiments, however, were not the ones which found publication in the issue of the Rocky Mountain News Monday morning. It happened that upon invitation a reporter of that paper was present when the meeting opened. Rev. Over objected to his presence, stating that the press could receive a copy of the outcome of the deliberations. When the majority voted to permit the reporter to remain, he and a number of others withdrew entirely. The reporter in his own defense stated that he would publish only such matter as the meeting wished him to publish. This promise he broke, however, when Thomas Campbell in his remarks said that he would have caused gore to be spilled all the way to the city hall had a mob come to his house to intimidate him as they had done Dr. McClain. He also published the opinion of C. W. Buford, who laid all the trouble on the political apostasy which colored people exhibited by failing to take the same view of political questions that he took. Lawyer Townsend and several others made addresses which were thoughtful and which found expression in the declaration decided upon by the meeting but were omitted in the newspaper account. The foregoing are the facts about Thomas meeting, which through the efforts of a reporter have been so distorted that in the eyes of the public all Negroes appear to be ready to take arms against a sea of troubles. The Statesman has sounded the opinions of many and they are all of one mind, that this publication is the most harmful single incident that has met the Negro in Denver for many years. In monetary loss, in loss of friends, in misrepresenting the views of the majority of colored people, in arousing the active enmity of persons heretofore indifferent, it has had no equal. Had the school boy bravery and the petty politics of the two speakers been exhibited before colored people only, they would have been weighted for just what they were, a cheap attempt to get distinction by something unusual. But unfortunately the everlasting memory of the press intervened and now no amount of saneness, no retractions, no excuses can avail. If Negroes were permitted the same freedom of action which whites take to themselves, if we were not all herded together and considered from the same standpoint, no race feeling would be aroused because the disagreement of white people, the same as of colored people, would be with the speakers. But unfortunately, the folly of one is the folly of all! The stage heroes of a man who would put ten thousand to flight and the ridiculous assurance of another who is so profound a statesman that his principles will solve our problems, have now become the common characteristics of all Denver Negroes through the act of a reporter. We may condemn him all we wish, but finally we come back to the inevitable problem, how can we save ourselves in this situation and how protect ourselves against another of like kind. The rights of Dr. McClain are guaranteed to him by the law. No one disputes that; even the Clayton people admit it. If the law is not powerful enough to protect him in his rights, a puny ten thousand Negroes cannot overawae two hundred thousand whites. If law is to reign, force is unnecessary and threats of it by colored people are unnecessary.. If force is to reign, it serves no purpose to announce that one is ready for trouble. Judged from any standpoint, incendiary talk in a meeting supposed to represent our best thought, could do no good. Nero fiddling while Rome burned was a low comedian, with a tragedy as his setting. A speaker mouthing politics and personalities at a time when the property rights of Negro citizens are threatened, cuts no better figure. Cities governed by Republicans, Democrats, Socialists and mugwumps all have their race troubles. Denver people must be pitied if they are caught in the net of a politician who stoops to such transparent argument. The future can be guarded only by a rigid exclusion from even apparent leadership of men whose judgment fails in the hour of test. We are given to understand more each day that we are now upon our own responsibility. A powder keg set off by men of good intentions is none the less explosive and destructive. This meeting has served to place us in a sorry light before the world. We can not go back and mend our mistakes. We can only go forward and see to it that there is not a recurrence of them. about closer friendship. This can be done without fear of transcending the line, into the realm of social equality. It is not social equality for us to reason together, it is not social equality for both races to read the same books, to listen to the same music, to attend the same public places, to shiver in the same cold, to warm in the same sun, to love the same country and to defend the same flag! Governor Would Lead Mob or Lynchers With a member of the legislature leading a mob of lynchers and the governor of the state sanctioning mob violence and desiring to take the place of the leader of the mob rather than give the alleged criminal a chance to be heard in a court of justice we see the type of men who are entirely unfit to be leaders of any civilized community. The sooner such men are put out the better, the latter will be for the The time in our social lives when we must do something or much to decide many important questions which confront us, and which must shape our future for joy or sorrow has come. We must do our part. This organization can do its by standing as a moderator between the strong and weaker races by acting intelligently, firmly, and with conservatism. Governor Would Lead Mob or Lynchers With a member of the legislature leading a mob of lynchers and the governor of the state sanctioning mob violence and desiring to take the place of the leader of the mob rather than give the alleged criminal a chance to be heard in a court of justice we see the type of men who are entirely unfit to be leaders of any civilized community. The sooner such men are put out of office the better it will be for the whole country. Miss Davis Going Back to Bermuda.

Editor of Statesman: Madam E. Azalia Hackley appeared here at the Clark Opera House under the auspices of High School Lyceum Course. Her "Song Recital and Voice Culture Demonstration" is considered the best attraction that has ever been presented here. The High School Course has been instrumental in bringing here several lecturers and musicians of renown, but none of whom have pleased and entertained the people like Madame Hackley. This is considered a white community and Mrs. Hackley's audience was largely white, but she clearly showed that she was just as much at ease in such a community as in a purely colored community. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Hackley visited the high school here and gave an outline of her work and methods of teaching. The professor and his corps of teachers marveled, and the students are still talking and hoping for Madam Hackley's return. ARTHUR S. NEWSOM. NOTES ON CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. Our work under the pastorate of Rev. G. T. Ramey has been a success spiritually and financially. The Thanksgiving service was a record-breaker. Sunday was marked by the presence of the Holy spirit. The church recently extended a call to Rev. A. D. Williams, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., who has made a favorable reply and will be on the scene on the second Lord's day in January, 1912. Under his leadership much may be expected of Central church in the future. The Sunday school, after turning over $34.25 from Thanksgiving program, turned their attention to the Christmas exercise, which will be given Monday evening, Dec. 29th, for the interest of the school and its many friends. QUEEN CITY MUSICAL ORGANIZATION. The chorus resumes its work on Tuesday evening, 19th inst., at the chapel of the People's Presbyterian church, 23rd avenue and Washington street.

BARNETT DODSON The large number of meetings held by Afro-Americans throughout the country in honor of the centenary of the birth of Wendell Phillips clearly indicates the appreciation of the race for those who paved the way for its freedom from the curse of slavery. Some of the organizations which conducted meetings were the American Negro academy in Washington, the National Independent Political league and the New England Suffrage league in Boston and the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, New York, which held its meeting at Plymouth church in Brooklyn. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis presided at the Brooklyn meeting, which was enthusiastic and largely attended. The speakers were Mr. Charles Edward Russell, the Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom and the Rev. Dr. John Haynes Holmes. Each of the speakers paid a glowing tribute to the work, manhood, zeal and personal sacrifices of the great anti-slavery hero and champion of the cause of the oppressed and unjustly afflicted slaves. Significant and timely was the address of the Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom, which was in part as follows: One hundred years ago Nov. 29 Wendell Phillips was born. His unselfish devotion to the cause of humanity has made not only black men, but liberty loving men and women everywhere, his debtors. The surroundings amid which these commemorative exercises here tonight are set are significant, while lending added inspiration to the hour. We are within the walls of Plymouth church, whose pulpit Henry Ward Beecher made famous throughout the English speaking world. At a time when the American pulpit was for the most part either dumb upon the evils of slavery or three hundred years of religion Henry Ward Beecher stood there, a mighty Jove, hurling the hot thunderbolts of his wrath against it. The south sued for peace not because it had changed its attitude, not because its baptism of fire through four years of bloody war had converted it to Summer's view of the barbarism of slavery, but because God had made it helpless by pressing the bitter cup of its iniquities to its lips until it had been drained to the dregs. As Wendell Phillips took his stand outside the constitution while it sanctioned slavery, so today the only impregnable position we can take is to plant our feet upon the constitution as amended and stand there without compromise. Wisdom of Unselfish Co-operation. The men and religion forward movement, the taymen's missionary movement, the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, the Young Men's Christian association and other organizations of similar object and aim are emphasizing in an encouraging way the wisdom of unselfish co-operation for the betterment of mankind. Work of Congregational Churches. The twentieth annual session of the convention of Congregational churches among Afro-Americans in Georgia was recently held in Atlanta. Careful consideration was given to toples relating to worldwide missions, self support of the church, country life in Georgia, work among the young people and Sunday school improvement. Pension For Fireman W. H. Nicholson. Instances of loyal and efficient service performed by Afro-Americans in the federal, state and municipal government are constantly being brought to light. Much satisfaction is being expressed by the friends of William H. Nicholson. who was retired from the fire department in Brooklyn on Dec. 8 on a pension of $700 per annum. Mr. Nicholson was appointed to the department Dec. 7, 1890. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENT ARCHITECT. C. W. Wiggington, 12 Union Blk. Omaha, Nebr. AUCTION HOUSE. J. R.

EFFECTIVE WORK FOR THE MASSES Results of Good Leadership Noted In North Carolina. SPIRIT OF UPLIFT SPREADS. Energy and Influence of Dr. E. E. Smith Felt In Local and State Affairs In Fayetteville Section of the Old North State—Journalist, Soldier and Educator. Fayetteville. N. C.—The interest that the Afro-American folk living in towns the size of Fayetteville throughout this state are manifesting in educational, missionary, commercial and agricultural activities is due to the energy of such men as Dr. E. E. Smith of this city. There is a tendency on the part of the Afro-Americans in this section to accept the kind of leadership which will best conserve the interest of the race. This phase of racial progress is accentuated by Dr. E. E. Smith He is one of the leading graduates of Shaw university and has the well earned degree of Ph. D. Graduating in the class of 1878, he was licensed as a Baptist minister during the year 1879. Being a man of exceptional qualities, his work in the ministry has been a potent factor in harnessing the energies of his congregation and directing them into an avenue of true service. He is regarded as one of the safest and ablest leaders in his denomination. Realizing the task and the necessary abnegation of self to reach the masses through the public schools, he accepted the principalship of the graded school of Goldsboro and met with such signal success that he was elected principal of the state colored normal school, located in this city. Being an excellent specimen for the admirers of a well developed body, he naturally participated in events that require a sound constitution, and the movement in which he was quite prominent was the state militia. During the year 1880 he was promoted to the position of major of the Fourth battalion of the Afro-American infantry of North Carolina and was adjutant of the Third North Carolina volunteer infantry during the Spanish-American war. Dr. Smith has always been active in the conventions of his church and has served as secretary of M. B. the North Carolina state Baptist convention. He is the present secretary of the Baptist missionary and educational convention of North Carolina and has successfully pastored in this city. He is a trenchant and pleasing writer and exhibits natural journalistic qualifications in his articles. He was appointed as United States minister to Liberia during the year 1888. In a recent address on the needs of the race in Africa he displayed a keen perception of the great possibilities of the Afro-American be- Office 1026 Nineteenth Street. DR. E. E.

At the recent educational and missionary convention held in this city Dr. S. N. Vass paid him a glowing tribute by saying that Dr. Smith always recognized the fact that he was on an errand of service. The gifted Mayor McNeil of this city also paid him a tribute by saying that he was a concrete example of the Negro being capable to receive any honor the nation might bestow upon him and that his service for his country, state and race has made Dr. Smith a national character. He is ex-president of the State Teachers' association and is identified with every educational movement in the state. He is closely in touch with the laboring element of the race and is always found to be associated with those who are trying to conserve the best interest of the farmer, mechanic and those engaged in other industries. He is president of the Farmers and Mechanics Building and Loan association and has made this corporation a great agency in helping the Negro in this section to own some property.
