BILL PROVIDES FOR $250,000 Major R. R. Wright and His Associates Hold Successful Conference With Senate Committee on Industrial Expositions—Convincing Facts by Drew Wright, Du Bois and Ross. Washington.—A committee of prominent colored citizens appeared before the senate committee on industrial expositions in Washington recently in half of the bill introduced by Senator Bradley of Kentucky providing for an appropriation of $250,000 for an exhibition of the progress of the race since emancipation. Senator Root of New York presided, and Senators Crane of Massachusetts, Taylor of Tennessee, Newlands of Nevada, Paynter of Kentucky, Stephenson of Wisconsin, Jones of Washington, Works of California, Gronna of North Dakota and Swanson of Virginia were present. The speakers representing the Negro Emancipation association were Major R. R. Wright of Savannah, Ga.; Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia; Professor W. E. B. Du Bois of New York and Rev. I. N. Ross of Washington, each having assigned to him a particular phase of the discussion. After Senator Root opened the meeting Senator Bradley introduced Major R. R. Wright, who told the object of the exposition, the success he had had for the past six years in exhibiting the progress of the Negroes in Georgia and reasons why national aid should be given this exposition. He stated that since 1876 the government had appropriated over $25,000,000 for expositions. He now asked for JOHN H. HARRIS only 1 per cent of that amount, $250. 000, which is only 2½ cents for each Negro inhabitant in the country. only 1 per cent of that amount, $250. 000, which is only 2½ cents for each Negro inhabitant in the country. major wright then introduced his son, Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., who would show the committee what progress the Negroes had made which would warrant an exhibition. This was done by a comparison between the condition of the race in 1800 and in 1910. Dr. Wright said the population had more than doubled, being 4,500,000 in 1800 and 10,000,000 now; the illiteracy had been cut in half, being 96 per cent in 1800 and 44.5 per cent in 1900, possibly under 40 per cent today. Public school attendance had risen from practically nothing to 3,000,000. In labor Negroes have risen from farm laborers to the control of 917,000 farms and the ownership of 250,000 farms. They have held their own as farm laborers, besides developing other trades. New occupations, unknown fifty years ago, have emerged. There are 60,000 Negroes in professions today. Negro physicians, lawyers, etc., unknown in the south to the generation before the war, are now in every city. Negro teachers number 25,000. Negro property holders have emerged. No accurate count has ever been made. Fully 500,000 homes and farms are owned. Wealth of the Negro is estimated at $1,000,000,000. Negro literature, art and music tell a story of progress. There are over 200 newspapers, 500 Negro authors. Some of the most popular music of the day is written by Negroes, and Negro musicians have appeared on every principal American stage, and Negro artists exhibited in our leading art galleries. Dr. Wright told of the growth of Negro banks, insurance companies, real estate operation, etc.; also of Negro organizations, their towns, churches, secret orders, saying that, whereas the race fifty years ago was not organized, today organization is the rule rather than the exception. One above twenty-one years of age is organized. These items represent some of the facts of our progress, a story which cannot but interest and encourage all who have at heart the progress of our country. The committee showed special interest in the recital of the progress. Next Senator Crane introduced Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols of New York, who told the plan of the exposition. It is to be held between Jan. 1, 1913, and Dec. 31. There are to be, first, collected maps, pictures, models, etc., representing Africa and African industry. There would also be exhibitions of, second, the Negro physique; third, Negro population; fourth, Negro occupations; fifth, Negro education; sixth, Negro organization; seventh, Negro in civics, Negro cities, etc. There would be awards and medals for meritorious exhibits. A grand historical pageant, a musical festival and finally a permanent exhibit. Dr. J. N. Ross, pastor of the Metropolitan church, Washington, made the closing address on the good such an exhibition would do. His speech was pronounced one of the most elegant and pointed five minute speeches ever made before the committee. Dr. Ross said in substance: "Such an exposition would show the real significance of the American form, of government and the meaning of American opportunity. "Second.—It would be an inspiration to millions of our people who do not know the opportunities that are theirs and who are despondent because of ignorance of the progress made by their race. "Third.—It would inspire hope and respect in the whites. They would see a side of the Negro which is not usually seen and would be brought to respect him more, thus bringing about a more friendly feeling among the races. "Fourth.—It would also show the world that America has interest in all her people." Senator Bradley then made a few remarks, and Major Wright thanked the committee, which went immediately into executive session and DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 24. 1912.

Capitalists, business and professional men, ministers and teachers of the white race were present in large numbers, and many encouraging messages were received from white friends of the race who could not attend.

It intends purchasing a club home. It was to secure funds to apply on this purchase that it gave its colonial dance on Tuesday at Old Colony hall. It had a good crowd and had a good time. It had the better time because of the purpose for which the dance was given. This club raises funds for its house socials and entertainments out of assessments of members and is reserving the proceeds of affairs such as this strictly for building purposes. Then when it has a home it expects to be able to show its hospitality in a more fitting way.

So who is the next man to take a crack at the war horse, Bat of the 9th Cavalry. FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Two, and Five DENVER PERSONALS.

Man Who Accompanied Peary to the North Pole Relates Many Interesting Facts About the Arctic Regions—Climatic and Astronomical Incidents of the Voyage. Yonkers, N. Y.—At a recent meeting of the Negro Society For Historical Research, with headquarters in this city, Mr. Matthew A. Hensen, who accompanied Commander Peary to the north pole, was the principal speaker. The exercises were held at Sunny Slope cottage, which is the residence of Mr. John E. Bruce, president of the organization. A special feature of the musical program was the part taken by little Miss Cecile Butler and her brother Willie, who gave several piano and violin selections with rare ability. Mr. Hensen told of his travels and experiences in the arctic regions in a straightforward, painstaking manner. 1930 MASTER WILLIE BUTLER. drawing here and there many striking illustrations of the difficulties and hardships encountered en route to the icy regions. He is a pleasing speaker and possesses a fund of humor. He said he felt highly honored when he was asked to speak before the Historical society, which is doing a good work in preserving for future reference the achievements of the Negro race. He had been a globe trotter for many years. Before he entered the service of Commander Peary he made the trip to China and the orient on a sailing vessel and was out of the country for three years. On his return from this trip he went to South America, where it was so hot they had to feed the hens cracked ice to prevent them from laying hard boiled eggs. Next he entered the service of Peary and for twenty years had followed the commander's fortunes on all his trips to the north pole and shared with him the hardships which its triumphant discovery entailed. In 1906 Hugh Lee and himself were the only men in Peary's party to volunteer to stay with him for another year, and they, with Peary, made the famous record trip across the polar ice in thirty-three days. In the final quest for the pole they made an average of twenty-six miles a day, and on reaching the pole Peary took five sets of observations to make sure he had actually got there. He told in a humorous way how the party subsisted during this and other trips poleward. They had boiled dog for breakfast, stewed dog for dinner and cold boiled dog for supper. Sometimes they shot a musk ox and enjoyed a square meal. The Eskimos he said are, polygamists, having as many wives as they can support. They have no religion that can be defined. They believe if a man is good he will go into the sky after death and if bad down into the bowels of the earth. They are a short lived people. The men rarely live to be forty years of age. The females marry at from twelve to fourteen years and at eighteen or nineteen look to be thirty or forty. They have a proverb which he quoted in Eskimo and translated, "The peacock may be a beautiful bird, but it takes a stork to deliver the goods." He said the moon shone so brightly in the arctic regions that it is possible to hunt the musk ox by its refulgent light or to read or do any work ordinarily performed in the daytime. The sun at its brightest can be looked at without danger to the eyes. Its heat is not felt. For 110 days the sun never sets in the arctic regions, and for the same number of days it never rises. Mr. Hensen was asked a number of questions by members of the society, which he answered quickly, showing that he was familiar with the geography and topography of the polar region, where he had spent, off and on, the best part of twenty years. A reception in Mr. Hensen's honor was given at the close of the program. ZION'S SONS UP FOR PROMOTION Many Worthies In the Field For Important Positions. Pastor of Old Ship Church In Montgomery, Ala., In the Lead For Editor of the Star of Zion—Is Well Qualified by Education and Experience For the Position. Montgomery, Ala.—The approaching general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, which will be held in Charlotte, N. C., in May, opens up some interesting questions with reference to the elevation of prominent men to the bishopric and to other high positions in the church. To be sure, he that desirest the office of a bishop desireth a good thing, but from the point of influence and in the matter of gaining a place in the affections of the people no position is quite so desirable as the office of editor of one of the church organs. In the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church the publication that wields the greatest influence and whose appearance is looked forward to weekly with a great manifestation of interest is the Star of Zion, published in Charlotte, N. C., which has been so long and so ably edited by Dr. G. C. Clements, a prospective bishop. Out of the large number of aspirants in the field for the editorship there are a number of men whom the church could well afford to honor, but for special fitness for this particular place Dr. W. A. Blackwell, now pastor of the celebrated Old Ship A. M. E. Zion church in this city, seems to lead. Dr. Blackwell has held a number of important places in the church and has been signally successful because of his fitness, ability and sterling qualities of honesty and integrity. He is every inch a Christian gentleman, a scholar, and has done considerable newspaper work of the class that stamps him as the possessor of the keenest kind of newspaper instinct. While pastor at Little Rock he edited the Western Alarm and at Montgomery the Old Ship Visitor. He has served as a widely read correspondent for the Star of Zion, for the Boston Advocate, and has done considerable reportorial work on the Elevator as well as serving as a correspondent for the Era, a weekly white paper in South Carolina. Dr. Blackwell is only forty-two years old, but he has done a large amount of work in the Zion church. He has been in the pastorate about twenty-four years, and, besides serving a period as presiding elder, he has been the successful pastor of some of the largest churches in the connection. At Lancaster, S. C.; at John Wesley church, Washington; at the Little Rock church, in Arkansas; the Pennsylvania Avenue church, in Baltimore, and at Old Ship church, in Montgomery, he has established a record as a pastor that is country wide. In his work he is affable, congenial, yet firm, having but few superiors either as a public speaker or preacher. At three points in particular in the ministry he has erected commodious and worthy structures. These places are Lancaster, S. C.; Statesville, N. C., and Wilmot, Ark. For sixteen years he taught in connection with his ministerial work. He has an unusual grasp of public questions and often discusses many live subjects from his pulpit here, which is peculiarly regarded as the most attractive in the city among our people. His speeches, addresses and sermons show careful preparation and are always delivered in a convincing and painstaking manner with a thoroughness not academic, but born of a kind of preparation that betrays the man of deep study and research. He is in great demand as a lecturer before schools in the south, and since coming to Montgomery he has been placed on the annual lecture course at Phelps Hall Bible Training school, Tuskegee institute, and has delivered annual sermons or addresses at Tuskegee institute, Miles Memorial college, Corona institute, Lomax-Hanon High and Industrial school, Mount Meigs and the Calhoun Normal and Industrial institute. For the work of editor of the Star of Zion Dr. Blackwell is undoubtedly well qualified. He writes, as he speaks, with thoroughness of detail and candor and truthfulness of statement and is of such a high order of intelligence and dignity that he could easily satisfy the many sided and cosmopolitan readers of the Star of Zion. He thoroughly knows the colored man. He is deeply interested in his people, as his frequent participation in all kinds of beneficent movements will show. His standing in the church and with his fellow ministers is of gilt edge variety, as can be seen in the fact that he has been a member of the general conference since 1892. He was educated at Albion academy and State Normal school of Franklinton, N. C., and Livingston college. He was ordained a deacon by Bishop Harris at Parksdale, Ark., in 1891, and an elder by Bishop Walters in 1892 at Little Rock. For the consideration of the delegates to the general conference and the members of the church at large Dr. Blackwell has erected a substantial platform upon which he rests his chances for elevation to the editorship of the Star of Zion.

THE STATESMAN—3s UP FROM THE BOTTOM. |__| SHoE REP: Rise of Albon Lewis Holsey as an Ex- pert Ad. Writer. New York.—Albon Lewis Holsey. who fs the advertising manager of the Crisis, is having much success in thut direction. He is putting into his work many original ideas that have made the Crisis since hix connection with it ene of the largest and most reliable advertising mediums among race pub- lications. Mr. Holsey bas had a large and va- ried experience in this direction and ig fast becoming an expert in this very unique and Interesting field. The monthly issues of the Crisis will testi- fy to this fact, which is seen in the splendid manner in which the adver- tisements ore arranged. Few young men of the race have had the excellent advantages to study the fleld of adver- tising as Mr. Holsey has. He was born in Athens. Ga.. less than thirty years ago. He graduated from Knox institute in Athens in 1900 and then went to Atlanta university, where he remained for three years. While in college he showed his genius as advertising manager of the college paper. After leaving college he enter- ed the government service: but, having a strong leaning toward the advertis- ing fleld, he abandoned his government position to devote his entire time to the study and pursujt of bis chosen profession. Attracted to Philadelphia, he spent considerable time studying the technt- cal side of the work and making keen observations which have given him a large advantage as a writer of adver- tising matter, While in Philadelphia he had occasion to come in contact with some of the leading advertising agencies and expert ad. writers in the country, who gave him many helpful points relating to the compiex problem of placing advertisements After completing bis work in Phila delphia he took up work for the At- lanta Independent, writing advertising essays that attracted much attention from the business men of Atlanta and other parts of the south. His advertls- ing essays also attracted the attention of the Union Mutual association of At lanta, one of the largest race enter prises in the south, which gave him the first and exclusive contract to write its ads. He still handles the advertisements for the company in connection with his work on the Crisis. Mr. Holsey discusses every phase of the problem. and his essays give many helpful hints of much value to editors in bandling their advertisements : Mme. M. L.

Stop the Grafters Through some kink in their logic, there are a lot of sharpers and parasites in our race who feel that they have a right to get an easy living by soliciting money from white people who are disposed to help us. Under one pretense and another these fellows scour the country, armed with letters gotten somehow or from prominent persons of both races, and they leave in their wake a trail of plunder that makes plain robbery look honest in comparison. Their personal dishonor and the harm to our race is the greater because they defraud the public in the name of some cause which appears to be worthy. In common with the rest of the colored people of this state. The Statesman has kept silent about these fellows, not because we thought they did right, nor because we feared them, but because we knew that Negroes were not their prey and we fell into the common error of letting others look after themselves as it was none of our business. But now we think differently. We have come to see that the silence which we have maintained has been accepted as our acquiescence in what they were doing. Since there are worthy charities in which the race is interested, it will not do to condemn all persons who solicit funds. But because a church deserves the help of the public there is no warrant for a chairman of entertainment committees soliciting funds for the care of the State Business League, as was done here in Colorado a few years ago. Because an orphanage needs help does not give license to everyone to build public institutions on paper and seek the public's money. The needs of the race are not the stock in trade of men too lazy to work. The good will that some people bear us is a holy thing and is not to be betrayed for the gain of Negroes who are the worse because they have the education to make their bad instincts effective. The prevalence of this class of wrong-doing deserves the attention of the pulpits of the state. It deserves the active opposition of the whole people whom it involves as the beneficiary-to-be. We will go a step further. Not only the downright rascals at heart, but those persons of good intent whose poor judgment commits them to bad propositions must be put down. The wild dreams, the fantastic notions and the impractical plans that are proposed from time to time, ought not be supported, for in just the degree they use up our means and drain our white friends of what they can spare for us, they stand in the way of better propositions. Our lading men must stop lending their names and influence to every scheme that comes up. If they wish it to succeed, let them first investigate it. Then they can honestly say that it has a hope of accomplishing what it sets out to do. Or if it is doomed to failure, they will have refrained from being the occasion of the masses supporting an impractical or vicious project. The Real Issue Since the founding of this government there has been one conflict raging which, under different guises, but always the same in essence, has divided the people into parties. That is the conflict between those who believe that the people will be best served by a representative government, one that rests largely in the hands of the select few, and on the other hand those who believe that the people themselves are the best able to determine what they need directly. Jefferson and Hamilton were the two great exponents of this conflict in the beginning and Hamilton won. Now Roosevelt comes forth as the champion of the Jeffersonian idea, after having once been the head of the party which is the lineal descendant of the Hamilton idea. Colored voters should look into this question earnestly and honestly. The question of the personality of the leader may be disregarded for death may end his career at any time, but the conflict goes on just the same. On one side or the other lies our greatest benefit. The names of the parties, their platforms on occasions, their candidates are all minor to the great question whether the people should be served as they wish or served as is best for them. Poular government and representative government presents just that problem. HAVE AN EXPERT PICK YOUR PIANO. Prof. W. R. Edwards is salesman for the Columbine Music Co.

The Sewing Circle of Zion church had a unique entertainment Thursday at the church called a Martha Washington Tea, at which a program was a feature. The big dance of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association was a hummer. It was at Eureka hall, which it filled above and below stairs. The usual novelty features, confetti, souvenirs and the like were there in plenty. This was the second annual ball and the hold it has on dancers seems to grow with age. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. District Superintendent J. N. Wallace has returned from his last rounds over the district. The quarterly conference at Colorado Springs endorsed the work of both pastor and superintendent asked for their return for another year. At Pueblo, where our church is being supplied by Dr. Bretnall of the First M. E. church, the quarterly conference heartily endorsed the work of the superintendent and sent a petition to Bishop Quayle asking his return on the district. The Rev. C. W. Holmes and Dr. B. T. Vincent filled the pulpit at Scott's last Sunday. Their sermons were elevating and uplifting. Mrs. Ada Castry called her co-workers together in the parsonage last Thursday evening. The cabinet planned many interesting things for the future entertainment of the Epworthians. The officers recently elected will be installed by the pastor Thursday evening. Refreshments will be served. Mrs. Anna McPherson is very desirous of having a full attendance at all Ladies' Aid meetings until the meeting of the annual conference, which will be soon. A large box of clothing, etc., was packed last Thursday afternoon by the members of the Woman's Home Missionary Society to be sent to George R. Smith College. Mrs. Caludies Pash was the leading spirit in obtaining supplies for this magnificent gift to our school at Sedalia, Mo. While at Colorado Springs last Sunday Mrs. Craig entertained very elaborately the pastor of the People's M. E. church and wife and the district superintendent with a toothsome dinner. The sister churches are cordially invited to attend the services Sunday afternoon. The Rev. R. L. Pope will preach the sacramental sermon. The deaconesses and stewardess boards of both churches are invited to have front seats. We are expecting them to attend in a body. This will be the last quarterly conference and we are urging all of our members and friends to be sure and come. Let us raise enough money on this occasion to pay the pastor and district superintendent in full. The class leaders are asking their members to give one dollar each to be applied on the Stewards' account. All who have so kindly subscribed on the benevolences and traveling expenses of the pastor are requested to be ready to pay up by the first of the month. Let us begin to lay aside some of it now so as to be beb ready when the time comes. The business session of the fourth quarterly conference will be held next Monday evening at 8 o'clock. All officers of the church are requested to be present and make their final report before conference. Let us be prompt. The pastor will preach both morning and evening Sunday. All members are urged to be present. The following Sunday evening the pastor will deliver his farewell sermon. The three years' work will be reviewed. --- THE STATESMAN-4 Denver Personsal Rev.

Sermon Topics Sunday, Feb. 25th: 11 a. m., "St. Paul's Exhortation to a Young Presbyter;" 4.15 p. m., C. E., "The Home Missionary Whose Life has Most Inspired Me," Acts 10: 23-25; 5 p. m., "The Trouble of Isreal." Amidst the inclementy of the weather last Sabbath morning, the Sabbath school not only maintained its equilibrium, but had many new faces. The services all day were largely attended. We believe the 5 p. m. services are still a source of inspiration to the pastor and worshippers. Among the out-of-town worshippers who are "Blue Stocking Presbyterians" is Mrs. Lizzie Stone of Indiana, wife of Dr. Stone. Both of these distinguished persons are members of the pastor's Bible class. The pastor's confirmation class continues to grow in size as well as interest. r persons desirous to become members of this church are requested to report to the pastor at once or to any of the officers Monday afternoons. At 4 o'clock the Juniors meet for instruction; the adults at 9. Wednesday night after the prayer and song services. Confirmation, public reception of members and the communion of the Lord's Supper will take place Sunday, March 31st. Members of this church are urged to report Monday night at 8 o'clock in the chapel. The object of the meeting is to elect officers of the church for the ensuing Presbyterian year. The system of permanency now in vogue in the church will be substituted by the rotary. At the sessional meeting last Monday night four names were ordered to be placed on the suspended roll. The removal of these persons from the city for more than a year without keeping in touch with their church directly or otherwise activated the step by the officers. We believe ap unpadded roll in this church would accomplish a profitable purpose. The trustees wish to thank Miss Florence Crawford of Casper, Wyo., for the $2.00, and Mrs. Susie Rose, Walsenburg, for the $3.00, the same being church dues by out-of-town members. Mention must also be made of $1 each to the guild and trustees from Miss Fannie Edmonds of Los Angeles, California.

HALL Succinct Account of His Notable Career as Surgeon. HAS FAITH IN THE NEW SOUTH Eminent Physician Whose Unselfish Devotion to the Medical Profession Has Given Him First Place—Great Organizer, Founder, Leader In Civic Affairs and Race Benefactor. Chicago.—Dr. George Cleveland Hall, surgeon, was born at Ypsilanti, Mich., in 1864. His father, a Baptist minister, moved to this city in 1860 and at once entered his children in the public schools. At fifteen years of age Dr. Hall was principal of a small school at Aux Vasse, Mo. From there he went to Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, graduating with honors in 1886. Immediately thereafter he entered Bennett Medical college, Chicago, finishing first in a class of fifty-four. Dr. Hall enjoys a reputation for surgery that brings to him patients from all parts of the United States. He has operated in nearly every large city in the east and middle, west. Seeing the necessity of postgraduate work among the Negro physicians of the south, Dr. Hall began holding surgical clinics before the various state medical associations, conducting them in Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Georgia and Missouri. At these clinics he has performed hundreds of difficult surgical operations, bringing to the local physicians JOHN H. HARRIS DR. GEORGE C. HALL. opportunities denied them in their home town, and has to his credit the establishment of ten infirmaries where none existed before and increased efficiency in the work of a number of others already established, whose work therefore had been in the hands of white surgeons. How this work has been appreciated can in a measure be understood by an extract from a letter written by Dr. D. H. C. Scott, president of the Alabama Medical association, in response to an invitation to attend a testimonial banquet given Dr. Hall by the citizens of Chicago, in which he said: "Dr. Hall has done no little in the south in general and Alabama in particular toward arousing the medical profession to greater effort in scientific investigation and practical application. He has been unselfish in this laudable endeavor and has lived to see his efforts bear fruit. "Aside from the enthusiasm he has created along the lines of professional achievement, he has brought to the people of this commonwealth the message of cheer and hope, born of a noble spirit and implanted in that effective way which gives immediate and permanent help. His manifest faith and sincere interest in the new south have demonstrated beyond question that we may yet be unfettered and soar to heights undreamed of. I congratulate Chicago in the possession of Dr. Hall." While standing at the head of his profession, this doctor does not lose sight of civic affairs. He organized the Civic League of the State of Illinois in 1895. He has been an active member of the board of trustees and attending surgeon at Provident hospital for the past fifteen years. Dr. Hall is a director and treasurer of Frederick Douglass center and a member of the Western Economic society. He is also chairman of the committee in charge of the erection of the $150,000 Y. M. C. A. building, a member of the Chicago Association of Commerce, organizer of the local medical association and an active worker in the national. In the financial world Dr. Hall is looked upon as one of Chicago's most substantial citizens, and his holdings are his by right of personal endeavor. CANDIDATE FOR BISHOP. Presiding Elder J. M.
