MANY THEORIES ADVANCED Practical and Philosophic Analysis of the Vexed Question of Racial Maladjustment by Horace J. Rollins, Who Believes In According to Every Man Fair Treatment. Troy. O. — From the inception of the abolition movement through the great civil war, up from slavery, on through the reconstruction period, the colored race in America has had severe struggles and mighty difficulties to hinder its progress, yet there is encouragement in the fact that history records the rise of no race or individual achievements which have come without strong effort, ambition and persistence in the face of oppression. We give below the first of two articles from the pen of a white man who has been a firm friend of the colored people for more than half a century. Horace J. Rollins of Troy, O. is one of the old guard, who knows the ordeal through which our people have passed, their present environment and the attitude of those who would hinder rather than help the cause of justice and equal rights for all American citizens. Of nature's answer to man's race question Mr. Rollins writes the following: The whole world continues to be disturbed by certain phenomena incident to racial relations. Countless people—many of them classed as philosophers—speak and write of the "problem;" there is no end of utterances that are misleading and harmful, yet now and then an observer notes facts that are impressive, and good suggestions are sometimes ofered. However, almost invariably these are fragmentary and as discon- THE LAND OF THE LORD HORACE J. ROLLING. nected as stray segments of a circle. They fail to indicate a symmetrical system. Recently a professor of the London university declared that, as the Caucasian cannot thrive in the hot countries and as the natives of them do flourish in the north, the white type, living less prolific, will be pushed to disappearance. This is interesting and if it were true would be quite startling. Nature (walting her arrogant egotism and destructive selfishness) appreciates the white man and will use him rightly. The gloomy groping has various aspects, an instance of which shows wonderful contrast to the above, especially as to complexion. It is the promulgation that pictures the advent of a big, strong, unscrupulous blond, who, as a superman (or a superhog, for apparently there is small difference), is to destroy all other citizens, the good, the true, the beautiful, not caring even for the lovable and useful brunette, whose milk is said to be exceptionally rich. His prognosticated portrait is not pleasant, and we will not have him. Some time ago a writer of international fame in earnestly denouncing race prejudice declared of it, without offering radical explanation, "It is a monster begotten of natural instincts and intellectual confusion." In the varied forms of it there certainly is such confusion. It is obvious in the presence of the strange and multiform manifestations and persecutions, even destroying life as an imagined duty, which mark the new century. in Europe and the United States, districts where education, legal questions and Christianity are much discussed and where the inference would naturally be that justice and kindness are what each one owes to all others. Such obscurity must be cleared and also the foggy conclusion that this prejudice is from "providence." But in order to classify this intellectual confusion truth so that it becomes available we must consider the disquieting fact that the monster is "begotten of natural instincts." Let us see how it came about that a force so ugly sprang from a normal impulse. Primitive man, like other promising animals, developed a necessary caution as to contact with people queerly and mysteriously unlike himself. This was protective, and rightfully so. The infant in its cradle today is typical of the child-man and shows unmistakable fear upon the intrusion of strange faces into the nursery and in its feeble way attempts to avoid them. Property, welfare and life itself have been conserved simply by the "offish" instinct. It has also had temporarily a wonderful use, pertaining to certain values acquired in the condition of racial integrity, which we will consider presently. Therefore we do not think of shyness in general as being a bad or mean quality. However, it is an involuntary acknowledgment that intelligence is lacking requisite to right conduct of life. It bars the reciprocal relations necessary to growth of civilization. So primitive shyness or avoidance cannot always remain commendable. With general development it either takes an advanced form—as, for instance, just circumspection—or, with changing relations, it readily becomes pernicious. The biologist knows that when normal conditions are exaggerated or strained they must become abnormal. In a similar way a racial distrust, once temporarily useful, drifts into unwarranted obstruction or rulous antipathy. The egolistic tendency, encouraged by sickly intelligence, invites prejudice to come in and expel reciprocal justice. While this may be due to mistake on the part of some, it really is a phase of selfishness. There is, of course, monstrous selfishness not identified with prejudice and not involved with racial relations. It distresses humanity today in the forms of official betrayal of trust, child labor schemes and monopolistic greed. Like race maladjustment, such manifestations begin in unreasonable extension of natural impulse and result in degradation. This particular perversion, we believe, as are those, is now in the climax of its ugliness. Such phenomena constitute the moral interregnum which now shamefully and fatally afflicts this country. True civilization seeks the balance between egoism and altruism. In view of certain facts, some of which we briefly indicate, and of significant typal manifestations universally evident, "intellectual confusion" is no longer pardonable. The popular movement for education is on a surer footing than ever before. doubtless because of increasing interest in the philosophy of evolution. In its light, racial phenomena must be observed. MUSKOGEE REPORT FACT The People Are Not Leaving the For Liberia, Says Citizen "Murder will out," "Truth earth will rise again," are families of the wise and experience in legal lore and literature. the middle of November a repentent out from Muskogee. Okien families of Afro-Americans town had packed up bag and sailed for Liberia and t As for general safety—waving the idea of non-natural assistance and that of human reason—there is remedial action in Nature herself. An instance of this truth is the spontaneous movement of racial convergence, which proceeds as surely and about as quietly and safely as does the working of the law of gravitation. The result is publicly commented upon by some who do not understand it. A magazine writer has noted the increasing number of people of mixed type, declaring that it is not much matter if scholarship can offer no explanation of this, as it will presently explain itself. Long ago the writer entered this field, and in 1898 a monograph appeared. "Nyetta Segal" (Dillingham). At least a few called it radical and adequate as a pioneer sketch. These claimed for it priority as to identification of the phenomenon with evolutionary laws, for there was dearth of the pertinent in textbook and cyclopedia. SHREWD BUSINESS MAN. Success of J. Jamison, the Los Angeles Iron Merchant. One of the most gratifying signs of the progress which the race is making is seen in the thrift and industry of many ambitious individuals who in the far west are engaged in lines of business other than the ordinary. The manufacture of cotton fabrics, soap, statuary and the like has been undertaken. Quite out of the ordinary indeed we find Mr. J. Jamison of Los Angeles, Cal., engaged in the iron business with marked success. He has a large yard on Santa Fe avenue, in Los Angeles, with improved facilities for handling the commodity and employs a large number of persons in his establishment. By buying several tons of iron at a time he is able to secure more reasonable terms. This has been one of the features of his success in the business which he has given careful study. Mr. Jamison is well known among the large iron manufacturers of the state, who recognize in him those necessary elements which characterize the successful man of affairs. Mr. Jamison started his business in a small way. He proceeded cautiously, keeping a close watch on receipts and expenses. By this method he has kept on the safe side in a line of business not hitherto undertaken by our people. Glencoe Club's Most Speedy Runner. Thomas Harris of the Glencoe Athletic club in New York has again demonstrated his ability as the most speedy runner of the group. In the recent three and a half mile contest he covered the distance in 21 minutes 30 seconds. In the last half of the course he took his own time and came up to the finish in a walk, winning easily over Mazzucaena, his club mate, who opposed him, by 500 yards. Lynchers Are No Respectors of Person The sentiment of the American people knows no bounds. They choose any time or place to perform any ceremonies which may appeal to their fads or fancies, says the Minneapolis (Minn.) Twin City Star. The lynching of Negroes by white men is prevalent, yet the lynching of white men by white men has proved that this lawlessness is not born of prejudice alone, but out of a custom practiced by these public executioners, who disregard the written laws of the land and hold justice as a mockery. ROSMUND JOHNSON GOING TO LONDON. Mr. Rosmund Johnson, the colored composer and playwriter, will go to London in the early spring to see if the big city will support a colored theater, which would be the means of forming bookings. MUSKOGEE REPORT FALSE. The People Are Not Leaving the State For Liberia, Says Citizen. "Murder will out," "Truth crushed to earth will rise again," are familiar sayings of the wise and experienced ones in legal love and literature. About the middle of November a report was sent out from Muskogee. Okla., that ten families of Afro-Americans in that town had packed up bag and baggage and sailed for Liberia and that 100 families more were ready to start in the event they received a favorable report from their friends in the first group. The cause for the exodus, as alleged in the report, was the curtailment of the political rights of the colored citizens of the state. But a personal investigation of the matter shows that the report is utterly without foundation. A highly respected and well informed citizen of Muskogee, and a wide awake newspaper man at that, gives the following version of the affair. He says: "So far as I know, there have been no colored families to leave this city for Africa since I have lived here. This report, which seems to have been sent out from Muskogee, is untrue and evidently a scheme to prejudice colored people in other states against coming to Oklahoma and taking up any more of the wealth producing lands of this state. "The colored citizens of Oklahoma are not so pessimistic of the political situation in this state as this article represents. The United States courts have decided that the famous 'grandfather clause' is unconstitutional and have sentenced some of those who enforced it in this state, and there is nothing which should induce our people to leave." LA JUNTA, COLO Mr. Jas. Johnson of Glenwood Springs was in the city for a few days. He was the guest of Miss Blanche Smothers and parents while here Mr. and Mrs. Hurt entertained very highly, also Mr. and Mrs. Gordon set a very elaborate dinner. Mr. Johnson's short visit was appreciated and we welcome him to our city again. GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO. Mr. William Jones is on the road to recovery. Mr. J. J. Johnson has returned after a pleasant vacation. While away he visited Pueblo, Rocky Ford, La Junta and Denver. He reports having had a delightful visit. Mr. A. J. Walton of Denver stopped over in our city last Monday en route to Alamosa. While here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Ruussell. The sick people (with one exception) are able to be out again. The mid-week prayer services at both churches are improving in attendance as well as spiritually, for which we are very thankful. Mr. and Mrs. Walker are cozily housed in their new residence. While seated at home entertaining a few neighbors with their graphophone last Monday night, a party of twenty-five friends entered the house of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Adams, with music, refreshments and presents and gave them a complete surprise in honor of their second wedding anniversary. Those present and gifts presented: S. Hodge, towels; L. Walker and wife, goods for apron and towels; T. M. Russell and family, dresser scarf and towels; A. J. Walton, Denver, box thread; W. J. Foster, handbag, towels and cotton; Swartz, Sr. and Jr., with families; W. Adams and wife; Misses L. Robinson, towels; M. Swartz; Mesdames M. Thomas, pillow cases; H. Wilcox, towels; E. Ellis, tablecloth; J. Higgins, handkerchiefs, envelopes and cotton; M. Brookins, towel and dresser scarf; N. De Neal and D. Lawrence, centerpiece; A. Mr. A. J. Walton was guest of honor. His host invited him to accompany him for an outing. When they had reached their destination Mr. Walton was as much surprised as Mr. and Mrs. Adams. All had a delightful time and went home well satisfied that they had accomplished their desired purpose. DENVER PERSONAL MENTION At Shorter Chapel the meetings are now in full blast and much good is being accomplished. The attendance is at high water mark. Almost every service sees someone brought to Christ. Dr. W. H. Tillman is delivering some very strong gospel sermons that carry with them conviction to the heart of the unconverted Sunday Services. 10:00 a. m.-Special evangelistic services in the Sunday school. services in the Sunday school. 11:00 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.—Preaching by W. H. Tillman. Morning subject, "Faith and Confession, Means of Salvation," evening subject, "Traditions of Men Fail to Save." 6:30 p. m.—Evangelistic services in the Allen C. E. League. All are cordially invited to attend these meetings. Quarterly meeting at Campbell Chapel this Sunday, Jan. 28th. Preaching at 11 a. m., by Dr. Randolph. The Communion sermon at 3:00 p. m., by Dr. W. H. Tilman, the great evangelist. You should not fail to hear him. At 8:00 p. m., preaching by the pastor. All city pastors and their congregations are invited to be with us at the 3 o'clock services. Last Sunday Rev. W. H. Prince, presiding order of the Arizona Conference reached a soul-stirring sermon at 11:00 a.m., that went home to the hearts of his hearers. At 8:00 p.m., Rev. James Washington of Cheyenne, Wyo., preached to a full house. He carried his hearers up to heaven, as it were, and set them down upon their thrones of glory. We invite these two gospel preachers to call again. Rev. Prince and his wife were the guests of Rev. Williams two or three days. They departed for Pueblo, Colo., Tuesday. Rev. Washington was called to this city to preach the funeral of Dennis Henry, who died in Cheyenne. He made a profession before his death. The funeral was held at Campbell Chapel. BROWN AND SHETALL. The team of Brown and Shetall, the well-known song and dance men who have been doing the South all winter with great success, are en route to Denver, where they will play at the Pantares-Crystal theater. Some of the workers who are most interested in the Y. M. C. B. are advocating nowadays the purchase of a permanent home for the prosecution of its work seven days in the week. The Brotherhood in last year had such a move under advisement. Its recurrence now may mean the carrying out of a plan to that effect in this year. The United Brothers of Friendship and more especially the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten were much interested in the presence here Wednesday of the State Grand Master, W. H. Bess of Colorado Springs, who came up to install the officers of Captolla and Webster Temples, S. M. T. After the installation, which was public, there was a social good time. The remains of Nathan Groves, who died at 2442 Lawrence street, Tuesday, are in the hands of Undertaker Lawhorn awaiting burial. The East End Progressive Whist Club met Saturday afternoon with Mrs. Wm. Walker as hostess. Quite an interesting afternoon was spent. Next meeting with Mrs. Wm. Warren, 2809 Welton street, Saturday, Jan. 27. MRS. WRIGHT. Pres. FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Two, and Five THE ALLIANCE NOTES AND COMMENTS. The following program is arranged for Sunday afternoon, Jan. 82th. This is the last of the bi-monthly meetings of the present month and the program carries as a feature the fourth paper of the Historical Research Series: 1. Current Literature and Comment. 2. Instrumental selection..... .....Mrs. Minnie Hayes 3. Select reading ..... .....Miss Elsie von Dickersohn 4. Tenor solo.....Mr. P. W. Webster Clark, apron; Hunter, dresser scarf. 5. Paper, "The Negro As Shown in Biblical History"..... .....Mrs. Maud Kerr, Essayist Announcements. General Discussion. The Alliance wishes to put emphasis upon the announcement that on Feb. 4th will occur a joint debate which carries much weight and is of importance to the people of this com- munity and the whole race. The de- baters are both speaking from convic- tion and upon a subject which they believe of vital importance: Resolved, "That the lack of political liberty is a more fundamental evil than industrial inefficiency of our economic needs." Affirmative, C. W. Buford; negative, C. A. Franklin. The subject matter is certainly timely and vital, the speakers are both of them well known in the community for public activity and platform ability. Each in his own way commands attention and each usually gets a hearing and convinces someone of the righteousness of their pleadings. What they will have to say will be worth your while. Each speaker will be allowed thirty minutes in which to present his side, divided as they may mutually agree, and when it is over—well, come and hear and see for yourself. Y. M. C. A. You missed a great opportunity if you did not hear Rev. Tillman at the Men's meeting at Zion last Sunday afternoon. Although there were many young men and ladies as well in attendance yet we hope to see every man take advantage of these men's meeting. Come to Zion at 3:30 Sunday afternoon. DR. DE FRANTZ, President, B. PATRICK, Secretary. "BACHELOR GIRLS' CLUB." The Bachelor Girls were entertained most joyously at the home of Miss S. Walker last Saturday. The evening was spent in the usual and untimely way. The guests of honor were Misses Grace Burns and Charlotte Ensly. The winners of the evening were Miss Lola Jacobs, first prize; Miss P. Lyons, second, and Miss Mosella Joseph seemed extremely consoled with the booby. DENVER WOMAN SINGS IN NEW YORK. In the New York Age of Jan. 18 there appears a good likeness of Mrs. Octave Dishman of this city with the note that she will appear in the Pre-Lenten Recital at Palm Garden Thursday evening, Feb. 15. This recital, which holds a leading place in the musical events of the great city, is open to singers of note or marked ability only and the choice of Mrs. Dishman for appearance there is commendation that pleases not only her friends here but must gratify her to have such substantial recognition come to her. HEAR THE PEERLESS TRIO AT WEST BROTHERS' SUNDAY EVENING. JANUARY 28. NOTHING FINER. QUICK SERVICE, MEALS A LA CARTE. --- Denver Personals SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. A cordial invitation is extended to all cold members of Scott's to attend the revival services now in progress there. Two happy souls are rejoicing in the God of their salvation. One is a convert and the other is a reclaimed one. Let the prayers of the Christians go up unceasing for the enemies of the cross. Pastor Wallace assisted by the Holy Spirit, is conducting the meetings. Truly the church is being revived. The clubs who worked so valiantly for the success of the recent rally have been pressed into service. The captains are captains of salvation. We invite all Christians to "Come over in Macedonia and help us." Several names of loved ones were handed in last Sunday night for prayer. We are praying for the ones who handed the names in as well as those whose names appear on the cards. Let those who wish their friends saved come into the meetings and help save them. Mrs. Wallace and the children arrived home safe but much fatigued, all the trains being late. She sends her best regards to all inquiring friends. Subjects for Sunday are: "Influence—Example." "Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:12. Sunday evening: "The Faith That Saves." "Sirs, what shall I do to be saved? And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:30, 31. You should hear these subjects. They will do your soul good. The little Junior choir filled the choir stand Sunday morning. Mrs. Mary L. Hicks directed the children in the absence of Mrs. Florstein Dooley. They are making heavenly music. You should hear them sing. Cottage prayer meetings were held during the week at the residences of the following members and friends: Mrs. Emma Galimore, Mrs. Harry Polk, Mrs. Ella Carter, Mrs. Vernon. These cottage meetings will be continued next week, beginning with Mrs. Mary L. Hicks, 2205 Marion; Mrs. Emma Anderson, Twenty-third and Court Place. Other homes will be secured during the progress of the revival. You are invited to attend these meetings. The meetings will continue all next week. The pastor will preach each night. We need more singers. Who will volunteer and help us? Mrs. Anna B. Dawson is on the sick list this week. She is suffering with la gripe. Sunday afternoon our members and friends are requested to attend the quarterly meeting at Campbell A. M. E. church. The pastor has been invited to deliver the sacramental sermon. Mrs. Onie Wallace, the pastor's mother, will keep house after the first of the month. At this time the regular weekly Ladies' Societies will resume meeting at the parsonage. The German American Indemnity company is giving away some real art calendars through its agent, Bert Patrick, who has been doing a big business in writing sick and accident insurance for them.

Advertising Agencies Lean Toward Papers Edited by Afro-Americans. "Within the past two weeks, since Jan. 1," says Albon Lewis Holsey, "the proprietors of two well known advertising agencies have consulted me with regard to advertising propositions for papers published by and in the interest of Afro-Americans. In each case reliable information was sought as how best to reach the largest number of papers at once. "I named to such inquirers a long list of papers published by our people, gave their location and quoted their approximate circulation. This seems to me to be a fine opening for a number of publications to greatly increase the number of advertisements from that which they are now carrying. "Why not combine their efforts to secure advertisements? Such organizations as the National Negro Press association should inaugurate a large advertising campaign to let the general advertising public know the value of their papers as advertising mediums. At the last session of the Negro Press association I had planned to offer this suggestion, but the time was squandered in electing officers and arguments over trivial matters. "I spoke to President Lewey about this matter, and he expressed himself as being much in sympathy with such a movement. It is my hope that this matter will be taken up at the next meeting, for advertising is certainly one of the vital factors in journalistic activity." BELIEVES IN ADVERTISING. Results of its Constant Use Shown by Baltimore Druggists. Baltimore.—The value of continual advertising in race papers is exemplified in the remarkable success that Stokes & Derry, druggists, of this city have had within the past three years. Starting out in 1908, they have built up a business that exceeds that done by any of the four other colored drug stores of the city. When asked recently what he thought had contributed to the success of his business venture Dr. E Verry Stokes, senior member of the firm, said: "I attribute much of the success that we have had in the drug business to the fact that we have always let the public of Baltimore know through the local race papers what we have to sell. I am firmly of the opinion that colored men in business can add considerably to the volume of trade done by advertising their wares in race papers. "White men who are successful along business lines continually let the people know what they have to sell by advertising. Another factor in business success is letting the public have the right goods at the right prices, and if you have not an article that a customer wants make a strenuous effort to get it. Up to date methods, modern equipment, polite and quick service, also help immensely." Dr. Stokes is a native of Baltimore. While studying in the Baltimore colored high school he worked in one of the drug stores of the city. He then entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, where he was graduated in 1908. While in Philadelphia he filled the position of pharmacist at the Frederick Douglass Memorial hospital and nurse training school. He returned to Baltimore and passed a very creditable examination as pharmacist. Dr. Derry is a native of Baltimore also. He was educated in the Baltimore public schools, Lincoln university and Oberlin college, afterward studying pharmacy at the University of Michigan. He worked for a number of years in local drug stores before embarking into business on his own account. Knights of Pythias' Annual Carnival. The annual mask ball and Pythian carnival of Ben-Hur lodge No. 19. Knights of Pythias, recently held in Brooklyn, was largely attended and was also a social and financial success. The officers of the lodge are Edward Henry, John Curtis, Thomas T. Scott, Charles E. Porter, Robert Lee, Cornelius Lovett, Robert Baynard, William H. McFarland, Gaston Smith and Anthony Fenty. The past chancellor commanders are Robert Baynard, Major E. B. Ceruti, Walter Kelly, William H. McFarland, Frank Downing and J. H. Williams. Colored Soldiers in Turkish Army. It is hardly worth while to express surprise at finding colored soldiers in the ranks of the Turkish army, for wherever men strive in a common cause at home or abroad either for racial or national honor the colored man shoulders his share of the responsibility. The two killed in a recent skirmish between Turkish and Italian soldiers at Tripoli are said to have been the aggressors. Dr. B. T. Washington to Tour Florida. The managers of the tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington which is to be made through Florida have announced that the start will be made at Pensacola on Friday. March 1. The pilgrimage will end in Jacksonville Thursday night. March 7. A number of successful business men and educators will accompany Dr. Washington on the trip through the state.

I am resolved to be satisfied with no treatment which ignores my manhood and my right to be counted as one among men. I am resolved to be quiet and law abiding, but to refuse to cringe in body or in soul, to resent deliberate insult and to assert my just rights in the face of wan-tion aggression. I am resolved to defend and assert the absolute equality of the Negro race with any and all other human races and its divine right to equal and just treatment. I am resolved to be ready at all times and in all places to bear witness with pen, voice, money and deed against the horrible crime of lynching, the shame of jim-crow legislation, the injustice of color discrimination, the wong of all franchisement or corporate tax, the inequality of war order my circumstances and the deep damnation of present methods of distributing the world's work and wealth. I am resolved to defend the poor and the weak of every race and hue and especially to guard my mother, my wife, my daughter and all my darker sisters from the insults and aggressions of white men and black with the last strength of my body and the last suffering of my soul. For all these things I am resolved unfinchingly to stand, and if this resolve cost me pain, poverty, slander and even life itself I will remember the word of the prophet—how he sang: "Though Love repine and Reason chaffe, There came a voice, without reply, 'Ta man's perdition to be safe Its man's petition to be sent When for the truth he ought to die!" Messengership For James D. Gross. As a reward for diligence and because of his peculiar fitness for the position the Hon. Frank J. Harris, county treasurer in Pittsburgh, has appointed Mr. James D. Gross messenger in his office. Mr. Gross was for two years a turnkey at the central police station. He has also served seven years as a deputy constable in the Seventh and Eighth wards. He is a prominent member of royal grand lodge, No. 31. Knights of Pythias, and captain of Greater Pittsburgh company, No. 14, of the uniform rank of the order. Juvenile Buds of Promise Prospers. The Juvenile Buds of Promise, No. 5, Grand United Order of Sons and Daughters of Moses, in Brooklyn is one of the most thrifty organizations of little folk in Greater New York. It numbers over 100 boys and girls who are being trained for the work of the order by competent instructors. The reports of the officials at the recent annual meeting showed that after paying all expenses for the year a snug sum remains in the treasury. The Juvenile Buds were organized in 1902. Mmc. M. L.

In Time of Peace Prepare for War Rumors of the discharge of Negroes and their replacement by whites crop out with startling frequency these days. Whether there is any foundation for them or not, they trouble us and it is not amiss to consider how we can remove any reason that may exist for our loss of employment, for even if there is no such danger, it is worth while to strengthen the grip we have. So long as there are workers whose irregular habits, whose inefficiency, whose indifference make them undesirable, it is in the highest degree essential that their employment along with good, efficient workers shall not endanger the positions of the latter. In the case of white workers, no such fear need exist that the bad will involve the good in a common ruin, but the tendency to group all colored persons together and measure them by their worst, puts us in a different plight. Such colored men who by reason of their positions as foremen have some measure of responsibility for their fellow workmen, must realize that they cannot be hampered by poor help unless they are willing to pay the penalty in loss of position. Workmen themselves must help get rid of the fellow whose irregularity forces them to do his work in addition to their own to the detriment of its quality. The petty thief must go! No fear of him nor favor for him should cause honest workers to run the gauntlet of suspicion which his acts cause. The incompetent must go! The righteous indignation of the employer will easily outrun his discrimination when he beholds the work of the incompetent, and all colored help be discharged for the doings of one. The brawling, fighting, loudmouthed, insolent, ne'er-do-well must be denied employment. No considerations of race, of pity, of hope for his reform, should blind us to the one patent fact, that self-preservation requires that the Negro worker give a service not merely the equal of the white worker but a superior service, and that cannot be done with hindrances. The present crop of rumors may be all smoke, but some day some one's inefficiency will furnish the excuse and rumor will blossom out into an accomplished fact. FAKE ADVERTISEMENTS. Why They Should Be Avoided by Honest Publishers. By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY. Publishers who do not strive to make their advertising pages a profitable investment for the business men actually defeat the things for which they stand. Our editors advocate commercial uplift among Afro-American merchants because they believe commercial activity is the only wedge the race has to get beyond "the color line." Advertisements that appear in some of our periodicals are not read with that absolute confidence which we desire, and no one is to blame for this condition but the publisher. Advertisements that smack of fake and exaggerated statements disguised as advertisements should have no place in Afro-American periodicals. Their effect is harmful because the reader, having once been deceived, has no confidence in the honest advertisement, and the careful advertiser who has a bona fide proposition will avoid any periodical that publishes questionable advertisements. In that way the publisher loses both ways. Weekly papers have great advertising possibilities if they were handled with tact and foresight. The readers could be educated by editorials and articles to have confidence in the published advertisements, and unconsciously they would make the advertising pages of their paper their "shopping place." Increased confidence by the reader in published advertisements means a larger response to advertisers, which in turn means more advertising, better and prompter pay and a better satisfied following. Business men should see that our papers are kept clean, because these conditions make it possible for more persons to enter business whose field is not confined to their immediate towns.

Jenkins, founder and president of the orphanage which bears his name in Charleston, S. C., is doing a splendid work of uplift among the people. He not only keeps the institution up to a high standard of efficiency in its work and care for the orphans, but takes a leading part in all good movements for the benefit of the race in the community. The Rev. Mr. Jenkins is also the successful pastor of the New Tabernacle Fourth Baptist church. Banks Operated by Afro-Americans Savings banks operated by Afro- Americans by states are distributed as follows: Four in Tennessee, seven in Alabama, four in Georgia, eleven in Mississippi, ten in Virginia; Texas and North Carolina, six each; Florida, South Carolina and Maryland, one each; Oklahoma, two; Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, one each, and two in Illinois. Homestead Land I feel that my efforts to establish a Negro farming settlement have been in the right direction, and popular sentiment is growing along these lines. There are about six quarter sections for homesteads in the Dearfield Settlement which is located in one of the best farming districts in Colorado. It is only about sixty miles from Denver on an air line, and seventy-one miles by rail. All conditions are favorable to good crops for the dry farmer this year. If any one desires to acquire a homestead in this community, I will point him to a location free of charge. My only interest is that I would like to see this fine land in the hands of some of our worthy people. There are now twenty-one families located in the settlement. The total cost of filing on a homestead is as follows: R. R. fare to see the ground.....$ 4.00 Livery hire to drive to locate 2.00 Lunch.....5.0 Making out papers.....1.50 Filling with land office.....16.00 Total .....$24.00 If you have some one locate you, there will be an additional cost of $30.00-$25.00 for locating and $5.00 for the locater's expenses. I will give a plat of the location free and with the assistance of the settlers one can easily locate and save $30.00. Persons interested can see maps and plats at the office of Attorney A. W.

Energetic Young Pastor Who Knows How to Get Results. Buffalo, N. Y.--Among the successful and capable young pastors of the A. M. E. Zion connection is the Rev. J. C. Taylor, pastor of the St. Luke A. M. E. Zion church in this city. He is one of the best known churchmen in the connection and has before him a brilliant future in the ministry. During his six years' pastorate in Buffalo his church has had a steady growth until today it is one of the leading churches in this section. The increase in the membership of the church and the prominent place it holds in the community are due to the untiring devotion and energy exhibited by the Rev. Mr. Taylor. When he was brought to his present charge six years ago he found a struggling little mission with a membership of fifteen. The place of worship was in a hall which was inadequate to properly conduct the work. The task of increasing P. the membership and the securing of a more convenient place of worship confronted the pastor. Seeing a splendid opportunity for the upbuilding of the church, he set about to bring the church membership into active service. Within five years the membership had greatly increased, and the congregation has likewise. A splendid church edifice has been erected. The Rev. Mr. Taylor believes that the church should meet the demands of the people. With that end in view he conducts his church on the institutional plan, a feature being the serving of Sunday meals to the congregation. To meet the growing population in the city he hopes to erect a larger and more commodious edifice, to be conducted wholly along the institutional plan. The Rev. J. C. Taylor is a native of Bristol, Tenn. He received his early education in the public schools of his native town, which was afterward supplemented at Knox college in Knoxville, Tenn., from which he graduated with honors in the class of 1893. While at college he made a brilliant record and was one of the honor men of the class. CENTURY OF RELIGIOUS GROWTH AT ABYSSINIAN. Success of Anniversary Exercises Gladdens Heart of Pastor Powell. The celebration of the one hundred and third anniversary of the founding of the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York, which began on Tuesday, Nov. 28, came to a successful close on Sunday evening, Dec. 10. The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the church, is doing a most excellent work and feels highly gratified over the outcome of the celebration in every respect. The membership of the church is large, and its groups of workers along special and general lines have made the influence of the church felt for good throughout the city. Among the pastors of Greater New York and vicinity who, with their choirs, took part in the religious and literary exercises were the Rev. William P. Hayes. Mount Olivet; Rev. R. C Ransom, Bethel A. M. E.; Rev. Graville Hunt of Mount Vernon. Rev. W. M. Moss of Brooklyn. Rev. M. B. Moss of Brook- REV. DR. A. CLAYTON lyn. Rev. M. B. POWELL. Hucless, Rev. R. D. Wynn of Newark, N. J.; Rev. Jacob B. Boddle of New Rochelle, N. Y., and the Rev. William A. Credit of Philadelphia. The church was founded in 1808 and has had an eventful and for the most part a successful career. It has also been fortunate in securing well qualified men as pastors. The Rev. R. D. Wynn, who assisted in the anniversary services, pastored the church for sixteen years while it was located in Waverly place, in the downtown section of the city. He was succeeded by the Rev. C. S. Morris, who was in turn succeeded by the present pastor, the Rev. A. Clayton Powell. The church edifice is now located on West Fortleth street. Dr. Powell has raised thousands of dollars for the various needs of the church. Increased its membership in large numbers and made many improvements along other lines. He is one of the most widely known ministers of the New England Baptist missionary convention. M. B. COME! Great Evangelistic Campaign DR. W. H. TILMAN, Wichita.

ACT QUICKLY WORK OF MORRIS ae BROWN GOLLEGE Jl be New President Has : i ate Worth as an Educator. v WON SUCCESS BY PERSISTENCE jac Results of the First Year of the Ad- ministration of the Rev. W. A. Foun- tain at Well Known School Are Refu- tations of the Theory Held by His Numerous Critics. Atlanta, Ga.—The remarkable suc- cess of Morris Brown college during the first year of the presidency of Itev. W. 4. Fountain, D. D., seems to em- phasize as rather absurd and silly. the little resentment manifested by some of the higher class students at the be ginning of the year. As a matter of fact. that episode seems now in the light of calmer reason to have been as false in its contentions as {t was silly and absurd in its foundation. It wiil be remembered that some of the higher class students in a letter to the board of trustees pointed out that Dr. Fountain, while a good man, a minister in the African Methodist church of first rank, and while he held a hard earned reputation for honesty. sobriety and learning, he had never graduated from a college and was therefore not fit for the presidency of Morris Brown college. ‘AS a matter of fact, all this conten- tion was basically wrong and, as the strenuous one would have said, “s)so- lutely false.” Dr. Fountain fs a grad- uate of Allen university. He 4s also a. graduate from the collegiate depart ment of Morris Brown college. class of 1901, and from the theological depart ment, 1902. ‘Thus ft would seem that the satisfaciton would have been keen ez in the honor which bad come to ove of the institution’s own sons. In addt- Selee e . ee oe mel ieee aN AR SRN See Oe ee a eae a eee oss ee ee i Sod “ ie B nag , 3 ee fom 2 ? hit eee, og ee Wik a set TRO tion to this preparation, Dr. Fountain also holds two diplomas from the Cen- tral Indiana university. Dr, Fountain fs a mild mannered, conservative Christian gentleman. His former success in the pastorate throughout the state of Georgia and the host of friends he has throughout the connection assure him of a follow- ing loyal, sincere and capable, and there is no doubt but that much of (he present progress shown at the colleze this year 18 due to his per- somility and his remarkable popularity. To be sure it would be a poor sort of man ut any rate whose whole life work could be wrecked by one little show of opposition. It is doubtful that the student epl- sode has had one thing to do either way with the present fortunes of the school. An Institution that has done ag much good in the southland as Mor- ris Brown college bas done will not be wrecked in a moment. Its mem- ories will Mve, its precepts will live, und no man {s surer to carry them out to successful conclusions than & man who was brought up within its walls and breathes day in and day ovt for several years its kindly and beneficent spirit. Dr, Fountain has retained practically the same faculty and a high grade of worl is attempted in each of the de | partments—namely. theology. science. preparatory, collegiate, academic, Eng- lish, mutic, industrial and nurse train- Ing. ‘The Georgia conferences in the first session since Dr. Fountain's presi- dency have expressed satisfaction over the work, and the entire board of trustees seems to be with the man- agement. There is no reason why Mor- ris Brown college will not now take the place in educational circles to which It is entitled, and all indications point to that end now that bickering and strife are over. A visit through all the departments of the institution and in all the classrooms wi!! show nbsolnte contentment on the faces of the more thrin 800 students, while im every respect the teachers show ¢oD- siderable devotion to the work they have in band. iz THE FIVE PcINTS HARDWARE™ CO.

On all colored cluos in the country the rocky mountain Athletic Club has been voted upon as being the finest colored club building in the world, that is on the inside. The house at present is being decorated as one as skill can make it, and for entertainment, there are at present two one pianos, one an automatic, and the pronograph is of the very latest type, playing all of the latest music out. And the pool and billiard room has been enlarged to five taetos, all of the latest patterns, and the cate, which is being managed by Royal Duke, is one of the best in the city, everything to eat can be had, and in fact everything is running like a top and the club during the winter months will close at 1:30 a.m. and open at 7:30 a.m., so why not give this association your best support?

Ben Goodman's music will be of the latest and the management the best. THE PEKIN THEATER, CHICAGO. The old Pekin theater of Chicago will undergo a big improvement this spring, owing to the presence of the now very popular house, the New Grand. Mr. Tom Motts, the manager of the Pekin, is contemplating having one of the finest theaters in the country when through with. He will have one of the strongest colored stock companies in the country to produce plays of all kinds, even so far as to play a few Shakespearian roles, and if this be the case it would be quite advisable for the young readers to keep more in touch with some of the heavy dope that will be presented to them, as Mr. Motts is liable to put on everything but quit, and his business abilities are second to none. THE LORANE PICTURE HOUSE. Owing to the venture of Mrs. L. Hill, the proprietress of the little colored show house on Twenty-sixth avenue, being such a big undertaking for a woman, I have very little to say in the way of censure. The madam has accomplished something that men in this city with plenty of money were afraid to venture, and it is hoped that the public will give their hearties support and in time I am quite sure that the management will see larger quarters, operate on a large, scale and give the people better service than any white theater in the city or the same five-cent piece. We have tried with tears in our eyes for a colored theater of any kind. Well, a vast we have one. It is true that it is not a big mammoth structure, but in time who knows but what Denver will have one of the largest colored theaters in the country. It is a true saying that in time youth shall dominate old age. Yes, and I believe that, too. A few nights ago Battling Thompson, the big noise among the Negro boxers of this city, and much over-rated( was defeated in a ten-round bout with Charlie Plerson, the New York news kid, at the Denver Athletic Club. It is true that the Battler extended himself to the limit, and that he put up the hardest fight of his ring career, but at that he was no match for his kid opponent. He received a beating that will long be remembered, and I dare say that it would be an easy matter now for Scotty Williams or K. O. Brown, either one of them to beat Bat at any stage of the game, and they are liable to be matched at an early date, and you would be safe with plenty of Williams or Brown money. NOTED QUARTET OF PUGILISTS Champion Jack Johnson Is Matched to Meet Jim Flynn, His Most Formidable Opponent, in July—Events In Which Langford, Jeannette and Sam McVey Have Taken Part. By N. BARNETT DODSON New York.—It is a fact worthy of note that in most walks of life in which individual achievements stand out boldly and above the ordinary the Afro-American is to be found among the foremost. Some have won fame in literature, some as educators and others are noted for special skill in the various professions. For the opportunity afforded to engage in business along many lines a large majority are successful. But the specific purpose of this comment is to call attention to a quartet of men whose physical prowess has placed them in the lead of all others in their profession without regard to A. Photo by American Press Association. CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON. race or creed. They are Jack Johnson. Sam Langford. Joe Jeannette and Sam McVey. These four men are the leading characters in the heavyweight division of pugilism. In the common commercial parlance we would say they have cornered the market. Jack Johnson, the acknowledged heavyweight champion pugilist of the world, is the center of attraction at the present time in view of the fact that he is matched to fight Jim Flynn some time in July. Flynn is said to be the champion's most formidable white opponent who has the nerve to sign articles of agreement to face Johnson in the ring. Jack Johnson was the first of his class among the colored fighters to appear upon the scene after the passing of Peter Jackson. His career as a prizefighter began in Chicago in 1800. He has had a most interesting career. His physical strength, coupled with his knowledge, experience and skill, makes all aspirants for the heavyweight championship title stand in fear of him. He is yet young, ambitious, artful and fearless. If he continues to use good common sense he will long be the world's champion, the pride of his race in this particular and the idol of sporting men the world over. Of the other three it may be said in brief that Langford received his first lessons in boxing from Jim Walsh in 1901 and has been in the fighting arena ever since. McVey appeared upon the scene two years later, and in 1904 Joe Jeannette offered himself as a fit subject to receive punishment from fistic encounters. Johnson, Langford and Jeannette, the notable big trio, have fought each other many times. Sam McVey for some reason has resided in Paris and other parts of Europe most of the time. A summary of events in which the four men have taken part reduced to a common denominator would read thus: Jeannette and Johnson have battled seven times. Joe won once on a foul, and Jack won one decision. One other fight was a draw, and no decisions were rendered in the other five. Johnson has boxed McVey twice. He beat him on both occasions. Jeannette met McVey four times. The first battle went ten rounds to "no decision." Jeannette won the decision in the next one over a twenty round course. The third contest lasted fifty-one rounds. McVey being knocked out. Shortly after they fought thirty rounds. The decision was a draw. Langford and Jeannette have met about eight times, with varying results. Generally Langford won, but Jeannette had an edge the last time they clashed, which was in September, in New York. Langford and McVey have come together twice. Last April they fought a twenty round draw in Paris. Recently McVey got a decision over Boston Sam in twenty rounds at Sydney.
