Celebrate Feb.22, at Eureka Hall, with The R. M. A. A. FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN RACIAL INTEGRITY A MISNOMER Twenty-Third Year PHASES OF THE PROBLEM. Race Pride Without Arrogance Is Helpful, Says Horace J. Rollin. Troy, O.—In concluding a philosophic and critical discussion of nature's answer to man's problem Mr. Horace J. Rollin, humanitarian, author, scholar and long time friend of the colored race, says: Obviously the general advancement of the Caucasian is not due to racial integrity, but the contrary. The belief that he is a composite has within the past few years decidedly manifested itself. Mr. Burbank says in a personal letter that this is true of all the leading types today, while Professor Franz Boas holds, according to press reports, that the so called white race embodies not only the ancient Mongol, but the primitive Negroid. Several able anthropologists at the recent first universal races congress, London, expressed radical, sweeping conclusions, which ten years ago would have been denounced as dangerously wrong. Concerning the universality of capacity under reasonable conditions the writer perceived and taught it a score of years ago. In all this—and it is only those of psychic paucity who have to be reminded—there is nothing which is directly humbling. The kind of pride of race which includes no arrogance or injustice is still humanly useful, as the truth of compensatory blending is humanly encouraging. That family is foolish as well as wicked which knowingly obstructs the developments of another family of any type. Alliance by consanguinity is impending. With the recognition of universal requirement the sense of honor (waiving the present local and temporary morbidity already mentioned) becomes more and more normally acute, and so this phase of the conduct of life is bound to be extended beyond the limit of existing association, for in truth it is an important feature of the present universal peace movement. Apropos of nature's varied centripetal and centrifugal action, of helpful alternating divergence and convergence, it is an interesting speculative question whether or not after the present general movement is approximately completed extensive divergence will again take place. Cosmopolitan conditions and the assistance of science in both expediting and holding the desirable seem to forbid this, yet we may imagine it brought about by a series of so called accidents involving extensive retrogradation or failure in securing the passing good, which may have be offered again. The whole subject is not only interesting and important, but transcendent and infinite. What a boundless field for investigators of various talent! Here are countless values ready to be indicated. Normal fecundity, enlarging individuality, rising ideality—in brief, all the aspects and interests of ascending humanity—are facing this heaven touched horizon. For the nonacademic or independent seeker there is unoccupied room upstairs. University scholarship is expected to produce a reasonable quota of textbooks and also bureaus of ethnology (by recording the overflow of their favorite subject, so to say). The Carnegie Institute of Research should illuminate many an obscure part of the way. Let us be ready when nature invites us for a rare journey. A quotation from the writer's book just mentioned affords the conclusion: "Man has been helped forward—always and in most if not all places—by a movement in general nature which is more radical and more universally promising than any which songs from the political, social or religious systems of the world. These are not necessarily regulative. Sometimes they have to be modified or even overthrown because of their crudity and injustice, but the natural, spontaneous movement referred to is perpetual and regulative. It is always and everywhere encouraging and even pushifting the growth of reason." THE COMMON WELFARE CLUB New Organization Will Assist In Social Settlement Work. The Common Welfare club is the newest and, when its purposes are considered, one of the most useful of the Washington clubs. This club engages in practical sociological work and helps those who are in the slums and alleys. Dr. George W. Cabanis, one of Washington's leading physicians, is the president, and Ocea Taylor of the Washington American is secretary. The club has undertaken to help the Colored Social Settlement home at the capital. clans, is the president, and Ocea Taylor of the Washington American is secretary. The club has undertaken to help the Colored Social Settlement home at the capital. Although housed in a very neat and well kept building in the heart of the colored population, yet the Social Settlement home has been in strained circumstances. Through the influence of the Common Welfare club great interest is being worked up in behalf of the settlement house, and generous sums of money have been and are being raised. Dr. John R. Francis, a leading member of the Common Welfare club, is president of the Social Settlement home. Recently, under the auspices of the Common Welfare club, a pay lecture by Dr. D. Webster Davis was given at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. Several hundred dollars were raised at the time for the settlement house. PETER H. BURGESS Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, professor of sociology at Hampton, who has been in Washington for two years, being in charge of the two years, being in charge of the DR.J.R.FRANCIS. Negro statistics of the United States census, is prominently identified with both the Common Welfare club and the movement to benefit the Social Settlement house. Dr. Jones is a sociologist of note, and his work for the club has been of a most beneficial character. The Common Welfare club numbers among its members men of high standing in official, professional, business and other circles of Washington life Fair Play Will Solve the Problem. The press is a powerful weapon, but it is hardly used fairly when it comes to the black man's cause, says the Huntsville (Ala.) Negro Fortune Teller. Prejudice generally sends all the dispatches and takes a heavy hand in the editorial writings. If the news of lynching were sent to some fair minded person it would have a very different flavor. All the colored citizens ask is fair play. Nothing more, nothing less, will solve the problem. Minister Joins Socialist Party. In most all movements of a state or national character save those of revolutionary or anarchistic tendencies in this country since the close of the civil war colored Americans have taken an active part. At the Socialist state convention recently held in Indianapolis, Ind., the Rev. S. C. Garrison of Montpellier was nominated for state geologist. It is becoming more and more evident that the vote of the colored citizen is no longer confined to any one of the great political parties.

Every friend will be asked to contribute something as a tribute to the pastor's three years of faithful service at Scott's. The Rev. C. W. Holmes preached an acceptable sermon on the occasion of the Freedmen's Aid Anniversary, Sunday evening, to a large and appreciative audience. A handsome collection was given for this cause. The benevolences will be raised in full this year and will in all probability go far beyond last year's report. A letter from Mrs. Dora E. Wallace states that Thomas and Wendell are riding horseback down in old Alabama. Le Roy continues in poor health. The pastor's friends and loyal members are coming to his assistance in raising the benevolences and traveling expenses, for which he is very grateful. Misses Luella Perry and Esther Raglen made splendid stewards last Sunday evening in collecting the Freedmen's Aid money. Our young ladies are not ornaments in the church but workers. Plans are being put forth in preparing for Easter. The Sunday school will have the grandest program ever given at Scott's. The choir will take the entire evening service with a fine program. Miss Lela Rice, Mrs. Mary L. Hicks and Mrs. Florstein Dooley are the planners. We would be very pleased to have the entire choir on the rostrum the afternoon of the quarterly conference. Let the choir get ready now with sweet songs. The pastor will deliver his farewell sermon on March 3rd in the evening. Every member and friend is urged to be present. Things new and old will be delineated on that evening never to be forgotten. The $1,500 rally will be pushed to the front ranks of all claims after the sitting of the annual conference. Let the captains get ready now with their plans. We want to wipe out this threatening obligation and then plan to renovate the building. The Ladies' Aid Society had a good attendance Thursday. The Woman's Home Missionary Society met at the parsonage this week and packed a box of clothing and bedding for George R. Smith College. Mrs. Claudie Pash has been the leader in getting up the box.

He gave up his morning service. Evangelist Olive Elliott taking his place, and the evening he left for the old home farm. He will be gone nearly two weeks. Rev. Ward's father had nearly turned a century, being 98 years of age. His death was unexpected for he had not needed a doctor's attention for fifty years. Mrs. Hilda Scrivens, en route from Ft. Russell, passed through the city this week on her way to visit her people in Memphis. Mrs. Arlena Burns Hall is in the city from Chicago visiting her parents. Three Coatesville Lynchers Indicted. With indictments returned against three persons who are said to have taken part in the lynching of Zachariah Walker in Coatesville, Pa., on Sunday, Aug. 13, 1911, and the conviction of a New York theater official for drawing the color line in the matter of orchestra seats, it seems that the strong arm of the law, in the north at least, is beginning to assert itself.

The pastor is being ably assisted by Mrs. Lena Mason of Hannibal, Mo., who is widely known as an evangelist and public speaker she having conducted evangelical meetings in nearly every important city in the Union.

That he will be requested to do this extra service seems to be certain because of the interest taken in the colonization company by Colorado members of Congress. NOTICE.

CONVICTION IN THEATER CASE Heavy Blow Against Discrimination on Account of Color. CIVIL RIGHTS LAW ENFORCED. Vigilance Committee of National Association Secures the Conviction of a New York Theater Official For Violation of the Law-Victory For the Whole Race. New York.-The New York vigilance committee, an organization composed of representative white and colored citizens of New York city and of which Mr. Gilchrist Stewart is chairman and Professor J. E. Spingarn is secretary and treasurer, recently secured the first conviction ever had in New York state for violation of the civil rights bill. The New York vigilance committee was organized for active prosecution of all infringements of the legal rights of the colored man and has permanent headquarters at 203% West One Hundrew and Thirty-fifth street. It was necessary to have an organized protest against racial discrimination in order to combat the increasing number of outrages against colored men and women and to make effective the laws of the state which guarantee them equal rights. This organization has tackled the problem of police discrimination against prisoners and their unjust arrest on trivial offenses, their maltreatment often on their way to the station, and has, through the co-operation of Police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo, secured equal protection and justice to colored prisoners as is given to all others. No longer is a colored prisoner or citizen misused by a policeman in the city of New York. Next it took up the question of certain localities where gangs were in the habit of insulting colored people when in their locality. These gangs were dispersed. Now it is vigorously attacking the custom of discrimination in public places—restaurants, theaters, hotels and cafes. It has brought a number of successful suits against these places to enforce the civil rights law. A custom had been growing in New York city to refuse colored people seats in the orchestra of the theaters. In a test case which was brought by the committee Harry A. Levy, assistant treasurer of the Lyric theater, was convicted of a misdemeanor for excluding a colored man and young lady from the orchestra seats of his theater. He offered to exchange the seats for two in the balcony, but this was refused. After a hard drawn out legal fight, conducted by Hon. Charles S. Whitman, the district attorney, through Mr. James A. Smith, as assistant, who had immediate charge of the case, and Attorney Charles H. Studin, one of the advisory legal counsel of the committee, this first conviction criminally under the statute of New York had a startling effect upon prejudiced conditions. All of the daily papers of New York gave it wide prominence. The committee is fulfilling its purposes of coping with the constant increase of discrimination and violence against colored men and women in this city. The discrimination has manifested itself in numerous ways in all places of public accommodation and even in the administration of justice, and it is of the highest importance that an organized effort be made to maintain the civil rights of all citizens regardless of race or color. It is also essential that public opinion should be influenced and educated in the direction of equal rights or it will not be long before conditions in New York will be exactly the same as those in the cities of the south. This can only be accomplished by such vigorous prosecution in every case of discrimination that the certainty of punishment will deter even prejudiced persons from offending against the law. The officers of the committee are: Chairman, Gilchrist Stewart; vice chairman, Dr. John L. Elliott; secretary and treasurer, Professor J. E. Spingarn. Those of the advisory counsel are: William S. Bennet, Edward Lauterbach, Charles H. Studin, Meilvile H. Cane, D. Macon Webster, John W. Smith and Walter N. Flannagan. Historical and Literary Society. What bids fair to become a strong and influential organization for intellectual culture in New York is the Historical and Literary society of the St. James' Presbyterian church, of which the Rev. Dr. William R. Lawton is pastor. At the last meeting in January Rev. George F. Miller delivered a very timely address on the "Church's Mission In the Present Day State of Society." On Feb. 22 Dr. E. P. Roberts will speak on "Personal and Public Hygiene," and on March 27 Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois will deliver a lecture. The general officers of the society are: Dr. Albert S. Reed, president; Miss W. G. Rowe, secretary, and Mr. James Gwathney, treasurer. Big Loss to Members of the Race. Through the complete failure of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company in New York upward of 5,000 Afro-Americans will lose $500,000, according to a recent report. ESSAY ON ADVERTISING. Abstract Theories Not So Helpful as Careful Observation. BY ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY. A man who recently died in Chicago started an agitation which may revolutionize our system of education. He sought to discourage the burdening of children's minds with abstract theories and formulae, believing, on the other hand, that the child should first be taught to observe. When the child mind is so trained that it unconsciously forms an opinion of shape and color we will then have laid the foundation for a better education. Many people read papers and are not able to tell anything they saw except the fashion, sporting or editorial page, while the other departments are passed by unnoticed. With an education based on observation the average reader would get more real benefit from papers than they do now. A decade ago the advertisements were either bombastic in appearance, including exaggerated statements and impossible propositions, or were simply meaningless words which announced that such and such a firm was in business. Now things are different, for in all first class periodicals advertisements are written in an educational, instructive manner, and people who read them carefully learn many things which help them to save time and also to cut down expenses. Advertisements of standardized, trademarked goods is the best thermometer to gauge the march of progress of invention and scientific research, and no newspaper or magazine should be discarded until it has been read with the greatest care. BOSTON WOMEN HOLD BIG ANTI-LYNCHING MEETING. Senators Asked to Introduce Bill Making Lynching a Federal Crime. Boston. At a lynching protest mass meeting in Faneuil hall held recently under the auspices of a committee of thirty colored women, led by Mrs. W. Monroe Trotter, it was unanimously voted to petition Senator Crane and Congressman McCall at Washington to offer bills in the senate and the house making lynching wherever perpetrated a federal crime. It was also voted to again petition President Taft "to throw his influence in the scale against the men who burn little children and to appeal to colored men to stand against crime or criminals, whether they be black or white, and not to be so easily lynched." In a stirring address on "Lynching and American Public Opinion" Rev. R. C. Ransom of New York city said that lynchings primarily sprang out of the desire of the former slaveholding states to repress the Negro. The south, he claimed, in order to justify itself in these barbarities began by blackening his character and by painting him as a monster who menaced the safety of women. "Negroes themselves," he said, "are largely to blame for the contempt in which they are held and the impunity with which their liberties and their lives may be invaded. Sheriffs, mayors, courts, governors, will not take seriously into account the interests of a people who have lost or surrendered the right to retaliate or call them to account at the ballot box. Mobs not quail when there is no fear that their wild brutalities will be answered by a volley of bullets." He said the action of this government in abrogating the treaty with Russia furnishes a striking example as to how the lynching evil can be combated. "We would advise," he said, "that Negro subjects of the British empire who come to this country numerously from the British West Indies travel freely throughout the southern states and when they are jimcrowed and otherwise assaulted and degraded that they appeal to the British government on the ground that their treaty rights have been violated." "Within the past twenty-six consecutive years there have been recorded 25,000 lynchings of colored Americans in the United States. Not one lyncher has been punished," said Mrs. W. Monroe Trotter. "Think of the father with his son and daughter murdered on their way to the cotton gin with the products of their labor, the father and son tied to the cart and burned, the daughter shot in the back! "If these are not horrible enough to move you to sympathy, then think of the mother torn from her suckling babe, raped and with her fourteen-year-old son dragged through the streets of a city and hanged to the ties of a bridge! Think of those bodies swinging in the air, and if these do not move you to action God help us colored people!" New Agricultural Agent at Fort Davis. The recent appointment of Mr. T. J. Murray as United States agricultural demonstration agent is halted with delight by the farmers at and in the vicinity of Fort Davis. Ala., in which place Mr. Murray will have his headquarters.

Clifford of Washington a movement has been started to raise a large fund to be presented to the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People on the occasion of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois' birthday, which occurs some time in February. The effort is being made in recognition of Dr. Du Bois' great services on the one hand and in appreciation of the work of the association for the promotion of human brotherhood on the other. The move has thus far met with hearty responses from many sections. Since the national association stands for justice and equality of privilege and opportunity to all American citizens, the promoters of the movement desire the co-operation of every church and organization, as well as individuals, in order that a sum commensurate in a large degree with the character and worth of the organization to the race may be raised within a short time. In New York, where the headquarters of the association are, and in Brooklyn the women are active with plans by which to secure contributions from the various churches and organizations. The Equal Suffrage league of Brooklyn has already held several meetings, including one evening luncheon, the proceeds from which will go toward the sum it desires to contribute to the general fund. The league has arranged for a systematic canvass, which will be followed by a general public mass meeting. Dr. V. Morton-Jones is chairman of the committee, and Mrs. Lydia C Smith, reporter for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, is the recording secretary. The management of the whole affair is being conducted by the women of the race. It is not only a wise movement, but one worthy of the liberal support of our people everywhere. Public Schools Assist Red Cross. The local Red Cross organization, through Mrs. W. J. Boardman, recently officially acknowledged the work of pupils of the colored schools of Washington in the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. The Armstrong Manual Training school, through Miss S. W. Brown, contributed $30.10. Two contributions from Normal School No. 2, through Miss Williamson and Miss Hunter, were $60 and $14 respectively. Pupils of the M street high school turned in, through Miss Berry, $25 and through Mrs. A M Johnson $8, the to tal contributions from the children and young people of the local colored schools below $137.10.

(oi. Divided We Lose! |’’Neiter can we witnnota tne tash ‘The Republican party has come again to its problem of success or suicide. Every two years we debate whether we shall choose candidates and platform with a view to polling the full party strength, or whether “we would rather be right than presi- dent” with the probable assurance that we sacrifice all the good we can do the state for the sake of victory for a faction. As an organ of colored Republicans who concern themselves little over which faction wins, The Statesman sees the situation without bias. Either faction is likely to rep- resent the views of Negroes better than will Democracy. But the ques- tion arises how long will colored vot- ers be loyal to the party when they have the past to prove that no mat- ter what they do, Democracy wins through the support of the faction de- feated. When John W. Springer, through his refusal to contest the seat of Mayor Speer the first term, made of no avail the unusually large vote we gave him, he also deprived us of the Standing we would have had, if we had not been such loyal Republicans. When an eleventh-hour deal within the Republican party defeated Phelps for mayor, again loyal Negro Repub- licans had their trouble for their pay. This cannot go on _ indefinitely. Either the party is trying to win or it is not. If colored citizens were not a people apart, if they were privi- leged to participate in deals which meant big things, even if they counted large in the choice of candl- dates and of platforms, the big prizes they won occasionally would repay the long stretches of defeat. But when at best we cast our votes for other people's selections, it is making bad matters worse to see that we vote in vain, It is too much to ask that we help maintain an organiza- tion, the only purpose of which is to be ‘an “also-ran.” Much has been said of harmony this year. The hope of colored Republicans is that fac- tions may see the wisdom of yielding something rather than losing all. And for ourselves, who long have been a muzzled ox which treads out the corn, we ask that the candidates and plat- form in their “harmony” represent us as much as any other element of equal voting strength SELF-ABASEMENT IS NOT NECES- SARY TO LEADERSHIP. Out of our desire to define clearly territory beyond which one may not stray without sacrificing his self-re- spect and forfeiting all hope of equil able treatment for his race, we com: ment upon the action of a Negro trom southern Colorado, sponsor for an in. dustrial school projected in Pueblo, who addressed the meeting of the Republican editors of Colorado ac their biennial luncheon at the Brown hotel on Monday. By some arrange- ment with the host of the luncheon, the Pyeblo Chieftain, he only and Senator Beveridge, were accorded the floor to speak as suited them it Was not enough for this man to tell of his work, but of the time he consumed he devoted a considerable portion to commenting upon his un- usual good fortune in thus eating with white people, The utter silli- ness, the uselessness, the abject stu- pidity of such a remark is brought out the clearer by the fact that ho was there to solicit the good will of the editors in founding a school which he represents would make bet- ter men and women of the children of our race. Yet he falls in the dust in a fit of self-abasement, so useless, so ridiculous, so shameless, that we wish to put ourselves on record as saying that his school, however con- stituted, is not worth the shame it costs, even though it were possible to found a great educational institu- tion on such a basis. Certainly he was not accustomed to eating with white people. They know it as well as he. But when they count him enough a man to in- vite him to participate with them for the sake of the qualities they think he has, he shows that he lacks judg- ment when he hastens to remind them that he is an underling. It is discourteous, as well as senseless. It is proof in itself that his presence was a blunder. It is not clear to us what purpose an industrial school for Negroes in Colorado can serve when the public school systems of the state already trains the Negro child in in- dustrial branches as well as aca- demic with far better equipment, teachers and financial support than any Negro school can have. Yet it we could accept the school as a real need, we cannot accept such a leader who goes out of his way to inject the race question into organizations and meetings from which it is ab- sent through respect for the useful- ness of such colored men as partici- Neither can we withhold the lash of criticism because this fellow means well, His mistakes of judg- ment are too costly. Leaders of the Negro race must come back with their shield or on it. Our grip on the pres- ent and our hope of the future are too precarious. In business, in poli- tics, in education it is all the same. Success and success alone is the test of leadership. The dwaddling incom- petent, the brainless orator, the cringing sycophant, as well as the vicious and ignorant, must be put down. No consideration of pity should blind us to the doom that awaits us all if we do not drive into utter oblivion the men who attempt leadership without having the quali- ties of leadership. Open Fights Better than Conferences It is early to express preference for mayor, yet it is timely to express our entire accord with the practice of candidates for that office announe- ing themselves and seeking the sup- port of the mass of voters, rather than relying upon conference to chose them. The past has shown clearly the difficulty of rallying voters to con- ference nominees, The disinterested voter is in the majority—he is abso- lutely essential to success, Yet nom- inees have been content to seek the support of politicians and interests who are expecting some substantial profit from their support and the lit- tle fellow is asked to do the yoting without even having had a chance to assent to or disent from the selec: tions. Because this condition is destruc- tive of the interest of the average voter in the election, Dewey C. Bailey seems to us to have performed a serv- ice for the party in submitting his candidacy to the whole people. Be- cause he is willing for his record to be inspected by all Denver before any party is committed to his support be- ing its nominee, other candidates will be constrained to do likewise. How- ever we may feel after convention about the nominee, we will have the consolation that we had the right of choice before convention and that is A powerful incentive to party unity. Mr. Bafley is a man of whom. the party has expected much in the past and in whom the community has re- posed much confidence. Whether he is nominated or not we believe that Republican success will in some measure be due to the steps which he is now taking.

THE STATESMAN- Selling Cost Reduction and Personal Selection Considered. By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY. When the colored business men of the country realize that advertising reduces the selling cost of any article it will not only encourage more to go into business, but the companies that do the advertising will find a larger margin of profit at the end of the year's business. Advertising an article or a proposition is simply giving it a "personal" introduction to the public, and the extent of this acquaintance is the same as our relationship with one another. When we meet people day after day and find them in a straightforward, businesslike attitude we unconsciously form an opinion of them which is inspired by confidence. When the public meets day after day, week after week, the advertisement of any company written in an honest, convincing manner it forms an opinion of the merits of the company which is expressed in frequent orders and continued patronage. By knowing an advertised article the public saves time itself and the stores make quicker and more frequent sales, because the buyer does not have to examine a number of brands, but simply asks for Jones' or Smith's. The same principle applies to stores. People simply "get the habit" of shopping at stores that are truthfully advertised. Therefore the progressive merchant not only advertises his store, but he always keeps a supply of advertised, trademarked goods. SHARON BAPTIST CHURCH. Baltimore Congregation Honors Dr. Alexander as Pastor and Founder. Baltimore. One of the very best known pastors and workers for the advancement of the race along other than religious lines in this section of the country is the Rev. Dr. William M. Alexander, the founder and successful pastor of the Sharon Baptist church in this city. In recognition of his twenty-seventh anniversary as pastor and founder the event was fittingly celebrated by the members and congregation on Thursday evening, Feb. 15. From an initial membership of nine persons twenty-seven years ago and a place of worship not altogether suitable the church has grown in both influence and members. It is now located in a splendid church edifice on Carey and Preston streets, with a flourishing membership of not less than 1,200. Dr. Alexander is a native of Virginia and a graduate of Wayland seminary, which is now the Virginia Union university, in Richmond, Va. Upon his graduation from Wayland Dr. Alexander was appointed state missionary for Maryland and has been the corresponding secretary for the Lott Carey Bap J. B. list convention since its inception. In this capacity he has succeeded in raising $40,000 for the work. He has served as president of the Maryland Suffrage league with much zeal and statesmanlike diplomacy. It was during his incumbency that the three great victories were won against the disfranchisement of the colored citizens of the state. Dr. Alexander is president of the People's Beneficial and Praternal society and has been prominent in civic movements in the interest of the race and the community at large for over a quarter of a century. Many well known ministers and public spirited citizens attended the anniversary exercises and also took part in the program. The work of the pastor as minister and citizen was commended by the speakers. A feeling of good fellowship and appreciation for the success of the church under Dr. Alexander's pastorate seemed to pervade every heart. Race Prejudice Reaching Its Limit. When a person becomes so mean, stoops so low in manhood and becomes so callous at heart as not to appreciate the saving from drowning of his own child because the person who prevented the child from being swallowed down by the waves was a member of the colored race, such a person is in dire need of the sympathy and pity of all mankind. The curse of race prejudice is reaching its limit. 1912 Admission Free REV. DR. W. M. ALEXANDER. COME! ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION SECOND ANNUAL DANCE 2235 ARAPAHOE ST.

POTENT AGENCY FOR UPLIFT. Thrifty, Secret Order of National Repute After Many Difficulties and Opposition From Within and Without Has Gained a Firm Footing Throughout the United States. New York.—One of the strongest and most influential secret organizations in this city and one which is doing real uplift work is the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. It is in the forefront of the secret societies which are doing great work for the moral development of its members and bringing about a better standard of manhood and citizenship. Since the beginning of the Elk movement twelve years ago among colored men the order has had a steady growth until today it is one of the strongest organizations of its kind in the United States. In New York Manhattan lodge has probably the largest membership of any one of the subordinate lodges of the order. It was organized nine years ago under the leadership of W. W. Winfield, who is one of the most prominent Elks in the country. The lodge has had a P. M. stendy growth until today it has a membership of 750. Many of the most prominent men of the race in New York are active in the welfare of the Elks and are doing much for the promotion and advancement of the order. Prominent among them are J. Frank Wheaton, the well known lawyer; Dr. Kellogg, a successful physician; James H. Anderson, the bustling newspaper man and managing editor of the Amsterdam News, and many others. In a recent statement given out by Mr. Anderson concerning the Elks he said: "The type of men who belong to the Elks is of the very best among our fellow citizens. The Elks can set an example for a great many of our lodges in the matter of loyalty to the tenets of the order. "The general organization of the Order of Elks had its inception among our people about twelve years ago. Mr. B. F Howard was the leader of the movement. The order has had a remarkable growth, due doubtless to the many beneficent advantages which it offers to its members and the congenial fellowship which it seeks to promote. Among the many advantages derived from membership in the Elks are the ample provision made for its members in time of slackness and the liberal aid given to the beers of a deceased member at the time of such member's death." Like most all good movements in the interest of humanity, whether as individuals or a collective body, the organization has had to face many difficulties and combat the most severe opposition. For the past three years, more or less, there was much dissatisfaction within its own ranks, while at the same time strong opposition from outside sources nearly swept the organization from its course. All told, the order has won a national reputation throughout the country and is now on a firm footing, and good work is being done by the members of the various lodges. The public functions of the order wherever held are always the occasion for much enthusiasm on the part of the public. In New York city, Brooklyn and Jersey City, N. J., the lodges are very aggressive and successful in meeting their obligations to the members. Dr. Howard Accepts Pittsburgh Call. The members of the Central Baptist church in Pittsburgh are rejoicing over the acceptance of the Rev. Dr. George B. Howard to become their pastor in the early spring. Dr. Howard is pastoring the Gildfield Baptist church in Petersburg, Va., where he has labored successfully for a number of years. The Gildfield church was made famous by the late Rev. Henry Williams, who was known throughout the country. This church has a membership of over 3,000 Rev. Dr. Howard pastored in Pittsburgh before going to his present charge in Petersburg.

Says Dr. Thirkield. Washington. — Upon hearing the news of the death of Bishop Wesley J. Gaines, which occurred at his late home in Atlanta, Ga., recently, Dr. Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, president of Howard university, made the following comment concerning the life and work of the noted churchman, whom he had known for many years: The tidings of the death of Bishop Gaines give me a sense of distinct loss as I recall the character of this true man of God, his worth to the church and his remarkable record for righteousness, for truth and for progress in God's kingdom. I had cherished the hope that he might live many years and achieve a place as counselor and guide in the church which the revered Bishop Palne held for many years. Knowing him both as pastor and as bishop, I want to bear witness to the stainless record of this man of God and to his character, that through the years of close association as neighbor and friend in Atlanta I can testify was above reproach. The example of such a man for probity, purity and righteousness has been of unmeasured value. In his devotion to every interest of the church he poured out his life without measuring the cost. He has left behind him an enduring monument, not only in institutions of learning and in churches he has built, but also in his character and noble example that must live through all the years as a guide to all who knew him. State School Needs More Funds. The general assembly of Virginia has been petitioned for funds with which to care for the large number of inmates in the state school for colored deaf and blind children in Newport News. It is said that there are a hundred applicants waiting for admission to the institution, but the facilities for accommodating any more are inadequate. ```markdown ``` You can get one without effort.

THE R. M. A. CLUB'S BIG BALL, FEB. 22. Are you coming to the big Rocky's second annual ball, to be given at Eureka hall the 22nd of this month? If not, you will miss the biggest social event of the season. The management intends making this dance one long to be remembered. There will be everything to be had to make it one grand affair, and notice, all ladies are to receive a beautiful token in memory of the club. And if you are not there don't blame anyone but yourself. There will be a moonlight dance, with plenty of dainty scenic effects. REPLY TO ORGAN'S CHALLENGE (By Prince Elmore.) In reply to the challenge that came out in your sporting sheet a few days or a few issues ago, I must say that I could not possibly refuse one Mr. Ora Organ a match with me, because I am simply wild to meet not only him, but any man in or around the state of Colorado. If he has or had shown as much activity toward getting a match with me as I have him, we probably would have done battle some time ago. I was speaking to one of the foremost sporting men and promoters of Denver in regard to a match with this young man and here is what he says: "Prince, I would be more than pleased to stage you with some good big man, that is if there were any here, but there is no one here at present, and from the lot that I have to choose from here at the present time, I don't believe that I have one that could make a suitable showing." I asked him about Organ and he said: "Well, to be frank about the matter, I don't think that he is eligible at all; first, he hasn't had the experience; second, he's never shown here, and from what I hear he's anything but a fighter, and is simply seeking a bit of publicity, and rather than to have a show that was a one-sided affair from the beginning, I wouldn't dare put him on at all." Battling Thompson is about my weight; how would he do? Well, Prince, he is a kind of a "champ" of mine and you are younger, larger, cleverer and more experienced than he, so I don't care to match him badly. The match making is three-fourths of the battle, you know. I have tried my very utmost to get a battle with this young man and he cries emphatically, "No, you are too big," and I have told him that I would do 158, the middleweight limit, and it is the self same No. I ask Mr. Galleger for a battle with the New York newsie and he says No. With this kind of inducements staring me daily in the face, what am I to do? In your last issue was a challenge from Bob Watkins that I heartily accept, that is, if some one is able to stage the same. I was "Jimmed" for the K. O. Brown go on the 15th, I am very sorry to say, but I may have a chance to even up matters all around soon. I remain, J. PRENTICE ELMORE, "Black Prince." WHITTMAN SISTER COMING TO PANTAGES. One of the clever Whittman sisters, Miss Mae, and two picks, will play the Pantages theatre the week of Feb. 24th. The act is said to be one of the classiest little acts in vaudeville and the picks with the company are the best in the business, being clever little song and dance fellows, with a clever comedian to support them, Miss Whittman. Just one block up, at 926 19th street, is the new home of The Statesman. Same phone, same street. THE RAILROAD MEN'S AND WAITERS' CLUB. The joys of the bachelor are not so bad after all, for a lot of the boys drop in at the Railroad Men's and Waiters' Club for a social hour to read the news, the magazines, to play a social game of cards or pool. Of course Mr. Rollins, the mixologist, is there with the palate ticklers all the time so that good cheer abounds. DON'T FAIL TO HEAR THE LA TRARIATA ENTERTAINERS AT WEST BROS. SUNDAY NIGHT, FEB. 18, 1912. MUSIC AT WEST BROTHERS FRIDAY EVENING OF EACH WEEK. SHOCKING SOUNDS in the earth are sometimes heard before a terrible earthquake, that warn of the coming peril. Nature's warnings are kind. That dull pain or ache in the back warns you the kidneys need attention if you would escape those dangerous maladies, dropsy, diabetes or Bright's disease. Take Electric Bitters at once and see backache fly and all your best feelings return. "My son received great benefit from their use for kidney and bladder trouble," writes Peter Bondy, South Rockwood, Mich. "It is certainly a great kidney medicine." Try it. 50 cents, at all druggists. AND THE STAGE in Pryor REESE BROTHERS MAKING GOOD The Reese Brothers, after two on three years of hard trials and tribulations, have once more gotten on their feet, and are heading in with some of the best colored acts there are in vaudeville. Their company consists of ten people, with the Resse Boys, Jessie Resse and Eleanor Hogan as the stars. They are playing Indianapolis this week with much success, from there to New York, where they expect to get bookings for the cities abroad. THE NEGRO BASEBALL TEAMS. In the past five years the Negro baseball teams have advanced 100 per cent. in every way. Last year there was organized among some of the big eastern cities a league consisting of fast colored ball teams. And after the organization had gotten under way, it has proved to be a paying proposition to the owners and managers. There are players on some of the fast eastern teams that receive salaries as high as $300 per month. And they are playing different cities, the same as the big white league teams. The main Negro league teams for this season will have the Chicago Giants, Leland Giants, St. Louis Giants, West Baden, New York Giants, Cuban Stars, and the Stars of Cuba. And they all have the support of the people. DON'T FAIL TO HEAR THE LA TRARIATA ENTERTAINERS AT WEST BROS. SUNDAY NIGHT, FEB. 18, 1912. STAR OF CHOCOLATE DROPS DEAD. Mr. Billy King, the clever little comedian of the King & Baily Co., that presented the Chocolate Drops at the Majestic theatre last year, died in London, England, the middle of December, last year, 1911, and the company is en route home. Mr. King's death is mourned by all the Negroes in the profession, as he was loyal to all mankind, and his death is a great loss to the profession, as he is the only young comedian that ever played with a big Negro company abroad for a run of 80 weeks without returning to the states. LARKINS & PEARL. Jolly John Larkins and Jennie Pearl, it is rumored, will soon be seen in vaudeville, as they made such a failure with their road show this season that they were almost forced out of business. And now they are going to be contented with small time in vaudeville. THE GEORGIA CAMPERS The Georgia Campers, did you see they at the Pantages Crystal last week? If not, you missed one of the best colored acts in vaudeville. The act was one that was pleasing, neat and clean, with everything and everybody working like a clock. The opening chorus, Dixie, was the star feature and it will long be remembered, as it consisted of nothing but pure cleverness and harmony. The closing of the act was also a tickler, with some very clever dancing, and the manager and owner, Mr. Clarence Bones, is due much credit, and the only deficiency is the voices, which were not quite so strong as they might have been. And I suppose that might be laid to the high climate. Mr. Bones, with his constant drilling, in time will bring out, or should bring out even next season, a company that would surpass all others in the business, as he is capable. JACK JOHNSON HANDICAPPED. Will Jack Johnson ever fight again in New York, or any other big city that has any prominence? That is the question that is bothering the fight fans throughout the country. They can't understand why the promoters of different cities are barring Jack from fighting. Well, the answer is just as simple as can be. Jack Johnson is champion of the world. He had a hard time getting there, but nevertheless he has landed, and probably to stay for a good long time, and he has acquired just enough money and brains to make the promoters do as he says, and not as they will have him do. That is why Jack is being barred from different cities; just because he don't comply to the big white man's wish. And in time they will all come down and take off their hats to Mr. Johnson. Nothing too good for you. See the pictures at the Loraine and you see the best; 725 26th avenue. Just one block up, at 926 19th street, is the new home of The Statesman. Same phone, same street. To Whom It May Concern: I feel very grateful to the German American Indemnity Co. for the prompt payment of my claim for one week's sickness, amounting to $9.28. Yours, respectfully The ministers of the city reorganized the Ministerial Union Tuesday in pursuance to the call of Rev. Hazell, the president. The work has been begun anew with vigor. Rev.
