NEW NOVEL ON RACE PROBLEM Present Day Conditions Told by Author of "The Testing Fire." PLOT IS LAID IN SOUTHLAND. Critical Review of Alexander Corkey's Book, In Which Are Given Many Thrilling Incidents of Racial Relations In the South—Star of Hope Beyond Dark Cloud. By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY. In "The Testing Fire" Alexander Corkey gives us a novel embracing an optimistic discussion of the race problem. While some of the characters lack a touch of realism, it leaves a much better taste in one's mouth than "Lady Baltimore," "Red Rock" and the vagaries of some other writers. Depending upon the writings of T. Booker Washington as material for building his Negro characters, the author's good intentions are slightly marred by failing to portray a description of the unrest and discouragement among the thousands of Negroes of the south who have found that intelligence and wealth do not give them the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," but this is less cause for criticism than his failure to capitalize the word "Negro." Building his arguments upon the theory that the Negro is a child race, the author strives to champion the cause of the Negro and at the same time offer encouragement with an almost but not yet attachment which he hopes will palliate the traditions of the white south. In referring to the Negro as a "child race" he forgets that a black king was among the three who came in response to the message from the skies to pay homage to the child that had its first "peep o' day" in a manger. Perhaps Divine Providence purposely directed the steps of the black king to this scene of self sacrifice that he might transmit the spirit of patience and forbearance to the unborn black children who were destined to inhabit the then unknown world behind the setting sun. He forgets that the Negro had made many notable contributions to human civilization before the kind hearted traders from Holland brought them to American shores, and in using the term "child race" instead of race of child beings he forgets that fifty years of freedom—nay, half freedom—have transformed 4,000,000 "child beings," as it were, stunted by 200 years of serfdom, into 10,000,000 beings, all human and worthy of consideration. The plot is laid in Dotham, Ala., where Peter Legree, an unscrupulous fellow who as political boss runs the town by using the "bogy man" of Negro domination to keep the white voters in line on election day. Jefferson Lilly, a young white man from northern Alabama, drops into Dothan to visit an old college chum, Donald Shelby, and incidentally meets Florence Ashley, the belle of the city. Mr. Lilly straightway gets himself into trouble by carrying Mose Thomas, an old Negro whom he found badly wounded and unconscious by the roadside, into a hotel and at the point of a pistol ordering the proprietor, who objected to having a Negro in his hotel, to phone for a physician. When Legree hears of the incident he calls Lilly a "white nigger" and sends word that he must leave the city at once, but Lilly, fearless (and infatuated with Miss Ashley), "beards the lion." Legree, in his office and tells him that he will not leave the city and that he may do his worst. Rose Attkinson, a young lady from Pittsburgh, comes to town and thoroughly captivates Dothan's smart set with her charming manner and "rich contralto voice" until they learn that she is a teacher in Harbison institute, an industrial training school for Negroes. She is immediately ostracized, along with the other members of the Harbison faculty. In accordance with her determination to convince white Dothan that the educated Negro is more desirable as a citizen than the ignorant, she calls on the leading white minister, Rev. William Durham, and after hearing his radical views in an unexpected manner leaves him this thought: "You are not Christ's representative in Dothan in the spirit you show to the unfortunate African at your door." If, as the author tries to prove, Legreeism could be stamped out by the acquisition of knowledge and the accumulation of wealth on the part of the Negro, Mr. Corkey would not have performed a thankless job. But with all the Negro's advancement Legreeism is still rampant in the south. Harriet Beecher Stowe found it there. Mr. Corkey found it still there, and if he looks around him he will find it everywhere in the United States. The story is well told, and no white person, prejudiced or unprejudiced, could read it without a feeling of toleration toward the Negro, who simply asks for justice and a chance. No Negro could read it without seeing in it a hopeful sign for an early realization of human brotherhood. The book is neatly bound, illustrated and contains 303 pages. It is published by the H. K. Fly company of New York and retails for $1.25 net. FIRST YEAR OF LABOR BUREAU. Employment Department of Carlton Y. M. C. A. Succeeds. SUPPLIES COMPETENT HELP. Some Results of Work Done by the Carlton Avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association In Brooklyn For Men and Boys During 1911. New Features of Larger Work. Brooklyn.-The first year of the employment department of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association in this city as a registered agency under the employment agency laws of New York proved successful. Good paying positions were secured for 154 men and boys. Mr. Arthur L. Comither, the assistant secretary of the association, has charge of this department. The need of such a department had been apparent for some time, and on Dec. 20, 1910, the department was opened with an appointment to the Standard Oil company, New York city, and since then it has done substantial service for the unemployed. The work done in the department has been systematic. The ability of every applicant is ascertained with care and accuracy. It has been the chief motive of the employment department to bring the colored men and boys whom it handles up to their greatest efficiency in the various positions now opened to them, together with finding and opening new opportunities for them. It has put forth special effort in the way of se- JOHN H. HARRIS curing new employment for them, knowing that there are many positions in which the colored man or boy is seldom if ever given a chance to even prove his worth. The utmost care has been exercised to make sure that the first applicant sent to a position fills it creditably. The idea of making the best of the positions now offered the colored man and boy and the efforts to open new employment for them have both worked out well. A great deal of time has been spent in counseling dissatisfied employees, advising them to be painstaking and thorough with their work, impressing upon them "to work well means to advance," to be patient with trivial annoyances and to be punctual. On the other hand, frequent conferences are held with employers regarding reasonableness of hours, wages, etc., and frequently the department has made peace between employer and employee where both may have become excited over some small indiscretion. The department has also had the chance to prove to a few firms that there are colored men who can fill the clerical and executive positions. It has helped men and boys in the most stringent circumstances. Young men poverty stricken and without homes have been helped to employment and thereby given a start. The head of the employment department has made a study of the employment conditions for colored people in Greater New York, particularly regarding employment for men and boys, and sees in the development of this work a boon for the colored man and boy. This year the department has taken on some new features with the idea of creating a larger work. It has employed the services of a solicitor, whose duty it will be to call on employers and explain to them the kind of service the employment department is rendering in order to assist reputable young colored men and boys to positions. Every effort for making the work more concrete and of greater benefit to the people is being put forth. Lincoln and Douglass Jointly Honored. Joint celebrations of the one hundred and third anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln and the ninety-fifth birthday of Frederick Douglass were held by Afro-Americans in various sections of the country during the week beginning Feb. 12.

WATCH RE Atlanta, Ga.—Spelman seminary had its beginning April 11, 1881, in the basement of the Friendship Bap- tist church ia this city. Father Quaries, the good pastor of that church, was on his knees praying that the Lord would send women from the north to help the women of his race. He ‘frose and opened the door of his study to admit Misses Packard and Giles, who were seeking advice about the location for the work to which they felt called of God to enter upon. Today Spelman seminary is one of the largest and best equipped schools for colored girls and young women to be found in the south. It has furnisb- ed to the different communities of the south at least 7,000 young women pre- pared to be of help to the several communities—hundreds to do good work in the settlement. church, school and home. ‘Teachers are sent to both public and private schools and to do all grades of ‘work from primary to the college. Among those especially appreciated are our nurses, When the city of At lanta needed « physician and a trained nurse forthe work in the public colored schools two of Spelman’s alumnae were given the work and are rendering most acceptable _ service. Five have answered the call from the foreizn field and have gone to Africa as missionaries. The school is sending out printers. milliners and dressmakers in large numbers well trained to be helpers in the various lines of industry wherever their lot may be cast ‘The institution does well to send out skilled workers—the world Is call ing for such—but it does better, far better, In making {ts first endeavor the training and sending forth an army of Christian young women te become the home makers of our peo: ple. This is Spelman’s special prov: ince. The home is the foundation of all else in the civilization of ge; people Resides having an able corps of tench ers for the various departments, the school is fortunate in having Miss Lucy Hale Tapley as president, Miss Edith Y.

He has left behind the usual principles of the Republican party and has gone beyond Bryan in "progressive" ideas. He wants not only initiative and referendum, recall of executive officers and judges, but even wants court decisions subject to popular approval. There is where he overleaps himself. Two thousand years of court adjudications since the old Roman law makers laid down the foundations of our modern practice have made certain conditions of business and private life established as lawful. Now all this is to be sacrificed if the Roosevelt plan is put into practice, for instead of weighing well the effect of a decision on the future and judging it by all that the world has known, popular will would be the final adjudicator. We hardly think that even he believes the results of elections so infallibly right. The rights of property and of life ought not be made the sport of election machines. Unpopular owners and undesirable people will cease to have even legal rights when popular majorities rule without check. What this means to Negroes is evident. Regardless of any personal preferences or likes, because of the governmental ideas he espouses, we must oppose the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for president. Self preservation demands it. We are already threatened sufficiently by the initiative and referendum, and by the recall and by all the other schemes for making popular will the incarnation of law and justice. But this last proposal of Roosevelt is too dangerous! It will be hard indeed for any man to be nominated whose platform is more inimical to our safety. Some day, we trust, there will be such mutual respect between the races that we need not fear that lack of might will mean loss of rights, but the history of this nation in this generation makes it clear that we cannot have too many bulwarks between us and the hatred of the mob. Let Atlanta, let Springfield, let the crossroad trees with their dangling victim of Judge Lynch, let even Denver with its threats of violence to colored property owners in white neighborhoods, be a warning to Negroes that law and not popular caprice is their protection. We get little enough of justice now, but we cannot conceive how initiative or referendum or recall or commission form of government, or any other socialistic notion which is taken up before men have learned to love each other, can avail us anything in any section of the country. But on the other hand the trail of blood and rapine reaches from home to home, covers whole states and sections showing where blacks have been the victims of hate. What of the future under Roosevelt when this hate will be dignified and legalized by popular vote on the decisions of courts, and not contrary to law as it now is? Make Haste Slowly Make Haste Slowly There is to be a "state meeting of Negro voters" in Colorado Springs this month if the invitation of M. B. Brooks, editor of the Pueblo Times, brings together enough of the great and wise to make a showing. Mr. Brooks does not tell us how representatives are to be chosen, though he intimates that the meeting is to be representative. Possibly he has some occult power where he can divine the persons upon whom the choice of the colored voters would fall and the invitation scheme is a short cut. But he seems to us to be guilty of a grave omission when he does not tell the chosen few what they are to do. We are left to infer that this proposed meeting is like others of the past held under similar conditions—held to select officers, and that is all. The parliamentary gymnastics and aeronautics are just the ritual with which another piratical undertaking is to be christened. Delegates will be anybody with railroad fare and cheek enough to pose as representatives of colored voters. Nothing will be considered seriously except who shall get the "easy money." Being in no measure representative, the officers chosen will make up in bombast what they lack in power. And yet, despite their claims, they will sell for a price so ridiculously low that the race will appear the dukes of bad leaders. The "state meeting" idea is old—very old. It is so old that the earmarks of a "touch" can be seen afar. By some fallacious reasoning the men who lend themselves to the idea think that there is power in mere organization and numbers. Brains and thorough-going, endeavor which all men find the open road to success is too slow for them. "Easy money" is their goal and they delude themselves Phone Main 7905 MISSION RATES: ..... $2.00 ..... 1.00 ..... .50 Us sent to subscribers are lost or stolen or when due, inform us by postal card icate of the missing number.

At the postoffice in the city of Denver. with the belief that conventions will blot out the memory of the still hunts which they have made for the dollars of leaders of both parties. They know full well that honest participation in public affairs on any side, and with any party, has advantages in money and in honor, but that means hard work and honest service, which they are not willing to give. The Statesman believes that the time has come when the intelligence of the masses of the Negro race deserves to be spared the shame of dark lantern leadership. Let the strong lead. Our hope of betterment through political activity lies in strong men who are able to take their place in the councils of parties. Our cause must be taken up as is the cause of others. It is too late to have our situation considered after party councils have decided, no matter how large or how influential our committees of protest are. In Colorado the race has twice had men on the inside of politics, once in the Republican party and now once in the Democratic party. The Republican was objected to by Negroes because he kept the activities of political highwaymen of the race within limits. They represented to the Republican state machine that neither they nor any other colored voters would make requests to the party through him, or receive orders from it with him as spokesman. The Democrat labors under the burden of criticism which properly belongs to his party. Negroes persist in blaming him personally for conditions created by his party of which he is only a small part. Not all Negroes are thus guilty, but the silent majority do not offset the activities of the small coterie of plunderers who clamor for "easy money." We do not mean to crown with a halo such Negroes as get up in politics. But they ought not be subjected to the assaults of a lot of beach-combers whose only complaint against colored leaders is that they can no longer ply their trade. They know the swift condemnation that would be visited upon them by the race if their motives were known, and so the tirades and misrepresentations that hamper the real leaders we have in politics, are always of unknown authorship. Colorado Negroes, it is time to clean house! It is time to take stock! Count well your virtues, but let no shame prevent you from weighing well the mistakes which ignorance and indifference have caused you to make. Stand on your merits in politics, giving an honest vote, to your full voting strength and demanding of parties that they accord to you what you have earned and requiring at the hands of men who seek to represent you that their activities shall be for more than self. In the meanwhile the time-hallowed "state meeting" can best be left alone until the men who stand sponsor for it shall have proven that endeavor for the race is their alm. There is legitimate money in politics and we are glad to see colored persons get it for work, for newspaper service, for speeches and the like. But we are going to brand every attempt at watering political stock, no matter who is the offender. HONOR IS DUE THE PIONEER. There is a peculiar merit in being a pioneer. Whether of thought, or travel, or of industry, the man who leads off is credited with not merely his own, but to some degree a part of that of all others who follow after him. The growing interest that is being taken in Africa as a field of opportunity for the American Negro causes us to call attention to the fact that Denver is the home of one man who is a pioneer of African emigration agitation. We refer to J. N. Walker. Mr. Walker for many years has made Africa his unending song at first entirely out of accord with the community, but one which others have fallen in with to a degree that now makes him one of many where once he stood alone. It is the wide acquaintance which he has with persons in America and abroad similarly enthused over the opportunity Africa offers, which has made possible the land grant to the Colorado Colonization Company from the Liberian government. He has attracted the attention of many leading statesmen so that, while African emigration has not yet been adopted seriously as a solution of the Negro problem, yet the attempt already there in the republic of 'Liberia to show what the Negro can accomplish, is meeting with encouragement at the hands of Congress. We do not mean that he alone has accomplished this last, but it is the seed he has sown that has raised up so many champions of black endeavor under black government. We might go on and recount other things he has done for Africa; we might detail the steps by which these things have been done, but after all, when his work is --- summed up, it is because he has been willing to stand alone in an unpopular cause, illuminated and encouraged only by his own consciousness that he was right, that Mr. Walker is entitled to honor. It is for his pioneer spirit that Denver has reason to be proud of him. If a century hence, black men shall have achieved a civilization and government in Africa that is creditable, or in fact if they have done so anywhere, it will be because of the beginning made in Liberia and to that beginning such men as Mr. Walker have lent much by procuring for it a favorable hearing.

Resolutions were adopted endorsing the administration of the pastor and district superintendent at the quarterly conference Monday evening. They spoke in glowing terms of the faithful service of Mrs. Dora E. Wallace to the church and community. The Epworth League, during the installation of their officers Thursday evening at the parsonage, adopted resolutions requesting the bishop to send the pastor to Denver for another year. These are heart baim to the faithful shepherds who have labored so earnestly to establish the Kingdom of Christ amidst much opposition and strife. Sunday is the last day in which you will have an opportunity to pay your benevolences. A number have subscribed more than a dollar to either help on traveling expenses or benevolences, and some nave not subscribed anything. Let us all do our duty. The pastor will preach both morning and evening. Farewell sermon at night. You are cordially invited to attend. Miss Alberta Middlebrooks led the Epworth League Sunday evening. Miss Middlebrooks is one of the coming young ladies of Scotts. The Rev. R. L. Pope preached a very acceptable sacramental sermon Sunday afternoon to a very appreciative audience. The snow and cold weather kept a large number away but we wish to thank those who braved the storm and came to help us up the last round prior to going to conference. Mesdames Pash and Holmes delightfully entertained the Sunday school children last Friday afternoon. The Ladies' Aid Society was entertained by Mrs. Anna McPherson with a sumptuous dinner. This president knows how to do things in a grand style. The Aid is getting ready for its spring fair. The following persons have recently connected themselves with Scotts: H. W. Pierson, Mrs. Georgia West, Mrs. Ella Owens. Forty-five new members have been added to the church this year. Baptizing will take place Sunday morning. Let all candidates be at the morning service. The pastor wishes to thank the faithful officers who have stood by him during the passing year. Also the loyal and faithful members will always hold a place near and dear to his heart. The good citizens of Denver have always come to the rescue when the clouds hung neatly over him. The churches of Colorado district have endorsed the work of the district superintendent. This shows that an excellent spirit prevails and that these churches do not wish to stand in the way of their own progress. Additional consideration will be asked for the mission work in Colorado. These resolutions will do much toward helping the district superintendent in getting what he is going to ask for. The people are coming this way on nearly every train from the southland and the east and they must be cared for by the Methodist Episcopal church. BUSINESS LEAGUE HERALD. New Monthly Publication to Represent Business Men Generally. At the annual meeting of the Alabama State Business league, recently held at Tuskegee, the first number of the Negro Business League Herald was issued. This paper is published monthly by the National Negro Business league. The editors are Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary of the National league, and Charles H. Moore, national organizer. In its announcement the editors say; "The Negro Business League Herald is published, as its name states, in behalf of the Negro in business. It does not regard itself as the official organ of the National Negro Business league or of any organization. "Its major interest is helping to advance the business and economic condition of the Negroes of the United States. It earnestly hopes, to begin with, that it may have the eager support of state Negro business leagues and local Negro business leagues as well as of all persons who are in any way concerned with business enterprises among the Negro people." Noted Speakers at Abyssinian Church The three weeks' special meetings held by the Abyssinian Baptist church in New York recently resulted in the addition of ninety new members to the church The Rev. Dr. A. Clintyon Pow- ell pastor, was assisted in the series of meetings by Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the Second Baptist church in Washington. Another series of special soul saving meetings will begin on Frie- day, March 1, to run for three weeks. The first week will be devoted to Bible study under the lead of Dr. S. N. Vass, and the next two weeks Dr. Charles T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., will lead in the revival work for soul saving. Judge Pleased With Colored Jurors.

Advancement Lies In Reasonable Selection, Which Is as True of Admirable Human Makeup as It Is of Efficient Mechanics — Counterpart of Race Prejudice. Troy, O.—Continuing the discussion of nature's answer to man's race question, Mr. Horace J. Rollin, author of "Yetta Segal," which some critics call radical, yet adequate as a pioneer sketch of the great question of racial phenomena, says: Such phenomena must be interpreted in a way consistent with man's nature. If he is capable of development, if he shall attain higher status through struggle or through means that are seemingly or, for the time, degrading; if he is moving from the simple to the complex as to organization, if universal movement tends to unific existence, then racial interchange, with elimination of peculiar characteristics, has made its appearance as a phase of infinite order and for the benefit of future man. As to the state of integrity, we have mentioned primitive "offish" instinct as having had profound normal value. Temporary segregation has insured the process of developing peculiar specific qualities, at certain periods, in this or that environment, necessary to the cosmopolite of the future. But the products of nature inevitably undergo change, and if not used to establish advanced forms and expressions they are disintegrated as so much common material. Racial characteristics—as "the types" present them to popular gaze—attained full growth so long ago that modifications more or less marked have necessarily appeared. Modern conditions bring new relative positions. Extensive geographical interdistribution of types has resulted from the overcoming of such natural barriers as great rivers, seas, mountain chains and deserts. For multi-tudes, this means different air, food, scene, thought and feeling—new elements that vary aspiration itself. The physiognomy is remodeled, irrespective of new lineage. Even if there were no fusion, the types could not remain the same nor so much unlike. Advancement lies in reasonable selection—this is as true of admirable human makeup as it is of efficient mechanics. It is not in order to say that any one is "in favor" of this phenomenon. No one declares that Newton was in favor of the law of gravitation. He called attention to it quite innocently: the spectator was not advised to climb a tall tree and then let go his hold, in order to test the readiness of the discovered law. Franklin perceived the power of "lightning" to help or harm the individual. Those who fancied that he "indorsed us" doubtless associated him with its ugly aspects. No one who comprehends the raison d'etre of the new philosophy desires to see the movement unreasonably accelerated. A morbidity would follow, the counterpart of race bred itself. Acknowledgment of the truth is certainly not a letting down of the bars to indiscriminate, ill advised mating. It is time, however, for comprehensive information. Increased knowledge means increased circumspection, the best protection for the individual. We should look at the past with improved vision. Some matings involving the racial interchange of cruder times—once declared brutal and immoral—must have had the psychic element. This is attested by a fair proportion of the living record. The composite must be considered in a way which will defend him and also insure ourselves against self degradation. Thus even where custom and ordinary law have been ignored by the ancestors psychic force comes spontaneously to remove mysterious temporary stigma. Nature provides increasing kinship, even to those of delayed development, and extending fusion is rendered less and less objectionable, with wider scope for happy selection. This is no more a mere theory than is the law back of the marvelous production of new stock, fruits and flowers. We are reminded to mention a book which authoritatively points to the crossing of types as a means of producing the superior man of the future. "The Training of the Human Plant" (the Century company, 1907). We predicted that Mr. Burbank must arrive at this conclusion. This infinite workman, who makes high philosophy tangible, had in mind the same principle of exchange of needed values with which he is so familiar in plant life. Head Worker For Racial Advancement. Dr. Bu Bois, the topnotcher and one of the foremost Negroes of America, is always cracking some hard nuts in order that Negro editors may eat the fruit of profit to them and their people, says the Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W.

The constitution of the New York African society limits the total membership to fifty persons and provides that the entrance fee shall be $100, with monthly dues of 25 cents. Twenty years' membership in good financial standing exempts members from payment of dues. Members receive $15 per week when sick, dating from day of illness for ten weeks, and $5 for ten weeks, after which no member will receive more than $200 during one year for sickness. Any member receiving benefits who may be found spending his time in brothels, gambling or tipping shall be expelled from the society and forfeit all his right of membership in the society. The work of Mr. Edward V. C. Eato in behalf of the society has been highly beneficial to the membership. The limited number makes it hard for a person to gain admission. It is said that there is a waiting list of nearly 1,500 applicants for membership, but the society moves carefully before acting and has had little chance to act on these applications, because few of its members die and none resign. It is certainly an object lesson to the new school Negroes who fritter away their time and money on get-rich-quick schemes which only benefit their forehanded promoters. The two pieces of real estate owned by the organization are valued at $17,000 and $20,000, respectively. The total worth of the society is estimated at from $40,000 to $50,000. Lucy Laney League to Hold Reception. The seventh annual reception of the Lucy Laney league will be held in New York on Friday evening. March 8. The proceeds from the reception will be donated to the Haines Industrial school in Augusta, Ga. The league is composed of former students and graduates of this institution. 9 YOU CAN GET A SET FOR NOTHING. Only a little effort. You can get one without effort. Only a little money, $2.50.

I am having a dream that Denver or had a dream that we people in Denver were going to have a great big fine colored theatre, a big fine drug store, a fine cafe, where they have all kinds of entertainers, and a whole lot of other pleasure resorts. But I am sorry to say that it has turned out to be a big dream, and I often wonder if any one else ever has such dreams of Denver being anything besides a big backwoods country town. If so, please notify me at once. I would like to meet you. JEANNETTE BEATS ANDY MORRIS. In what was supposed to have been a 15-round bout, Joe Jeannette, the big clever Negro heavyweight, easily beat another one of those so-called white hopes, Mr. Andy Morris, last Tuesday night in the fifth round, before the New Haven Athletic club, Joe Jeannette, it is rumored, will come West the middle of March and will stop off in Denver for a few days' rest. WILLIE FITZGERALD BEATS YOUNG GANS. Willie Fitzgerald, the old time welterweight fighter, found quite an easy mark in Young Gans, the Philadelphia boxer, in a six-round bout the other night in New York. And Fitz is now figuring on trying for the championship crown once again. He says that he is certain that the bunch of dubs in that class are all under him and he will have some easy pickings. YOUNG WALKER & CO From New Orleans there comes the news that they, the people, are now being greatly entertained by a youth who halls from some part of Florida, by the name of Young Walker, and that he in time will be second to none. It is said he has the Walker personality down to perfection, and his partner, Mr. Harry Cook, makes a grand old Bert Williams comedian. It will be only a matter of time before they both have names of fame as the peerless young comedians. DAN HODGES, THE DANCE MAN. Mr. Dan Hodges, the man who wears the everlasting smile, is now conducting a very classy dancing school every Friday night at the new Eureka hall, and there is no doubt but what it will prove to be a big success. The admission for ladies is free and gents 25c. So why not help to make this one venture a success? Hodges is a man who means business and knows. The team of Dude Kelly and Avon Davis that created such a great hit in vaudeville last season, are still making a great card in all of the big eastern houses. They are booked solid in and around New York until the first of June, and won't be in Denver until early next fall. ABBIE MITCHELL NOT COMING TO DENVER. Owing to some misunderstanding with the management of her bookings Miss Abbie Michell will not be in this city, as she first thought. She has cancelled all of her western engagements and will work east. Miss Michell is one of the cleverest singers in the Negro theatrical world, and when playing in this city was received with much appreciation. It is a great disappointment to the people when she misses this city. R. M. A. C. BASEBALL MEETING MARCH 23RD. Boys, we are going to have some sport in Denver this summer or know the reason why. This winter has been one long, dreary, cold day without a bit of sport, and we have certainly got to make up for it this summer. What we want mostly is a fast baseball team, and the big Rocky is going to have one, if they have to send away for men. But that is not at all necessary, as there are plenty of good fast players in Denver. So why not come out to the big meeting Saturday night, March 23. This might mean a chance for you in more than playing ball in Denver. And I urge every ball player to come at once to the club and sign his name on the list so as to be in line on the roll call of Diamond Dust Busters. Meeting will be called at 8:30 sharp. Bring your friends; maybe they can be interested. HEAR THE PEERLESS TRIO AT WEST BROTHERS TOMORROW (SUNDAY) EVENING. NOTHING FINER. LATEST MUSIC HITS.

Take Electric Bitters at once and see backache fly and all your best feelings return.

Friday. March 15 Opposition to Hook Was Nation Wide. Opposition to the appointment of Judge William C. Hook to succeed the late John M. Harlan as associate justice of the United States supreme court seems to have been nation wide in so far as the colored citizens were concerned. The attitude of Judge Hook on the color line is said to be the cause of his failure to land the job. --- Foreign Educator Visits America. Andrew G.

Molders of Sound Public Sentiment. The race is fortunate in having such able men as editors and proprietors of newspapers on the Pacific slope as Messre. J. Edwin Hill of the Los Angeles (Cal.) New Age and J. M. Bridges of the Oakland Sunshine. They are giving some very sound advice to the public, which, if it is adhered to, will lead to happy and beneficent results. Keep it up, brethren.
