Prepare To Take Part In Your Party Primaries TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN CHURCH AND SOCIAL HAPPENINGS Twenty-Third Year CHURCH AND S HAP THE CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. Twenty-second avenue and Humboldt street. Rev. Henry B. Brown. B. D. priest. The services of the past Sunday were of a very impressive nature. The attendance at both services was large. At the 11 o'clock service five adults received the sacrament of holy baptism, and at the close of the service also received a hearty welcome from the members of the church. The priest, Father Brown, preached an appropriate sermon from the subject, "The Necessity of Cleansing," taking as his text the words from the Lord to St. Peter, "If I wash the he not thou hast no part with me" (St. John 13:8). In the evening Rev. J. H. Houghton, D. D., rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church, preached an interesting and practical sermon from the words, "To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace" (Rom. 8: 5, 6). On Sunday next the priest, Father Brown, will deliver an appropriate Lenten sermon, and a solemn celebration of the Holy Eucharist will be held. The Rev. F. W. Oakes, chaplain of the Chapel of our Merciful Savior, will be the special preacher at the evening (7:45 o'clock) service. The class for candidates for confirmation will be held at 6:30 p. m., immediately before the evening service. The class is growing in numbers and interest and promises to be the largest in the history of the church. Now the opportunity for all who are undecided to make up their minds fully to receive this apostolic Sacrament. The Holy Sacrament will be administered on the evening of Sunday, the 28th of April, by the Rt. Rev. Charles S. Olmsted, D. D., bishop of Colorado. Are you in search of a church home? A hearty welcome awaits you, as well as all who would like to attend any of the services of the church. QUEEN CITY CHORUS. Members are reminded that rehearsals for the cantata to be rendered April 18th, will be held every Tuesday evening, 8 o'clock, at 2524 Clarkson street. Those desiring to take part must be regular in attendance. NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. The mass meeting held at the Calvary Baptist church was perhaps the greatest affair of the kind ever held in the city of Denver. The addresses delivered by Drs. Jordan and Fisher did full credit to the occasion. Especially did the masterly address of Dr. Jordan, filled with power and pathos, reach the heart of the great congregation to the point of melting. It is certain that after such a realistic visit of Africa and its needs our people can never again be the same, more than a hundred dollars were raised for the missionary work. On Tuesday evening the Men's Bible Class, together with the Missionary women, had the privilege of hearing the recital of Dr. Jordan's experiences in South Africa, on his recent tour of inspection in those fields. As a result Africa is brought nearer to us than ever before. We are beginning to feel that Africa's need is our obligation. The choir is now busily engaged in preparing a cantata, "The Last Seven Words of Jesus," to be rendered at the church on April the 4th. This will no doubt be the most elaborate and entertaining musical that the choir has ever given. Tickets will soon be offered for sale. On the last Sunday evening of this month, the 31st, there will be a stereopticon review of the Sunday school lessons, covering the first quarter. Beautiful slides, illustrating the first period of the Lord's ministry, will be shown on the canvass. It is hoped that every one will take advantage of this helpful method of studying the gospel story. On this same evening, after the lecture, at 8 o'clock, the choir will render sacred concret. It is quite certain that this treat will be fully --- up to those which we have had before. On Monday evening there will be a meeting of the E. B. DeLany further Lights Society at the church. The direct purpose of the meeting will be the organization of a Mision Study Class, which will take up the study of the "Price of Africa." All the women who are interested in securing more information on African Mission Fields are invited to be present. The pastor and Mrs. Over will direct the study. There will be a convert's meeting next Wednesday evening at the prayer service. The pastor hopes that every convert will endeavor to be present. The pastor will give a talk on "Christian Groth and Service." All are invited. The ladies of the Mission Circle will meet next Thursday afternoon at the home of Sister Wallace, 19 Elati street. All the women interested in this branch of the work are invited to be present. Since the installation of the new officers the Circle has taken on new life. The Willing Workers will meet Thursday evening at the home of Sister White, 2420 Emerson street. The ladies who find it impossible to attend the afternoon meetings should unite with this auxiliary. HEY!!! YOU!!! You can't miss if you get dead aim. So get dead aim on the Y. M. C. A. Brotherhood's annual fair, "The Streets of All Nations," at Shorter Chapel, April 3rd and 4th. Watch this space for further notice. Begin to have your "sack" now. --- Anniversary of Knights of Pythias. The anniversary exercises of the Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe will be held in the First Baptist church, Richmond, Va., on Sunday, March 24.

His last fight was with Joe Motto, in which you he was taken suddenly fill at the beginning of the sixth round and never recovered. TRINIDAD NEWS. The social given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Steele, for the benefit of the A. M. E. church, on Wednesday night, was the most successful of anything of its kind for the year. This marked the beginning of the trustees' rally which will come off in April. The church is hopeful of being ready to meet their obligations. The W. Mite Missionary society met at the A. M. E. church at 3 p. m. Sunday. The attendance was interfered with by the heavy storm. The Clover Leaf club was entertained by Mrs. J. H. Patton on Thursday evening. The club has taken on a form of permanent organization and will soon begin the work as it relates to the club. Mr. A. Seymour entertained at his home on High street Misses L. and C. Seymour of Colorado Springs. This was an up-to-date social for young folks. Music and games were the features of the evening, after which dainty refreshments were served by Miss G. A. Seymour, assisted by Miss L. Seymour. Those present were Misses C. Seymour, L. Seymour, E. and H. Sutton, Messrs. J. Seymour, J. C. Steele, J. McDowell, T. G. Hammonds, J. D. Hammonds, F. Smith, A. D. Seymour, Master Clement Sutton, Mr. and Mrs. J. Stone, Mr. and Mrs. C. Sutton. Master Clement has won a lot at Skaggs Springs, California. The Misses Seymour left Monday for Los Angeles, Cal., where they will spend some time in viewing the land of perpetual sunshine. The sick are Mr. Peter Clark, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Henry Scott. The baptism that was to have taken place Sunday in the Baptist church was postponed. The choir at Grace A. M. E. church has had two valuable additions in the persons of Mr. J. C. Steele and Mrs. R. Givens. Revs. B. Herron and Gann were both at the services at the A. M. E. church Sunday, 11 a.m. At this time those present gave testimony of their unshaken faith in the old time and tried religion. The choir is getting ready for Easter. GLENWOOD SPRINGS. The Kentucky oyster supper given at the Baptist church last Saturday night was a success financially. Receipts, $6.65. All services at both churches were remarkably well attended last Sunday. Rev. Fant returned to Grand Junction with many pleasant recollections of Glenwood Springs. Mrs. Hunter entertained Mr. and Mrs. W. Adams, Rev. Fant and others at dinner last Sunday in her cosy home on Minter avenue. There will be a concert given at the Baptist church next Tuesday evening. Mr. W. Adams and Mr. L. Walker are on the sick list this week. ROCKY FORD, COLO Mr. J. Johnson of Glenwood Springs is in the city and expects to farm on a large scale. He has located in the colored settlement, twelve miles west of Rocky Ford, where 1,760 acres of land is owned by colored people. A number of young people attended the funeral of Mr. Chester Tyler last Saturday of La Junta. The literary society, under the presidency of Miss Shock, is doing nicely. Miss Captolia Jones is indisposed with tonsilitis. Rev. Anderson has started a series of meetings. Mrs. P. A. Samuels is contemplating a trip to her old home in North Carolina. OGDEN, UTAH Mrs. N. J. Laurence and grand- daughter, Miss Nina Clinscale, left or Pueblo, Colo., Their many friends regret to have them leave. The musical concert at the church thursday night was very nice.

The East End Progressive Whist Club met with Mrs. Josephine Hillman last Saturday afternoon. Quite an enjoyable afternoon was spent. Next meeting will be with Mrs. Jessie Roy, 1822 East Thirty-second avenue. CHEYENNE NEWS. (By Mrs. J. E. Smith.) So far as the readers of the Statesman are concerned Cheyenne has of late been a thing of the past. But Cheyenne is still on the map and is as wide-awake as ever. We are indeed sorry our correspondent has been so of late. We hope for better results in the future. One of the most interesting social events was a delightful birthday anniversary entertainment given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Christian on Monday evening. The spacious home of Mrs. Christian's was beautiful and artistic in every detail. The dining room was superb under the glow of electric light. A table elegant in its appointment of beautiful drapery, shining silver and sparkling cut glass. It was evident that Mrs. Christian had taken no little pains to make the affair a pleasant one. Numerous and elaborate were the gifts which Mrs. Christian received. A most delightful luncheon was served by the hostess, assisted by her sister, M rs. P. C. Crutchfield. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Gaskin, Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Crutchfield, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Georgia Flippin, Mr. E. Lewis and Mr. Cozine. On Tuesday evening the Dubois Literary Society dispensed with their regular business session and turned it into jollity by giving its members and visitors a bob-sled ride. It is certain the pleasure has not been exceeded by any event this season. The party gathered at the Second Baptist church and when the sleigh arrived there was a mad rush for seats. All were made to feel young that night as they went swiftly speeding over the snow, under the soft glow of a full moon. After the ride a hot supper was served at the church. Those who were so fortunate as to be in the party report a most delightful time. Some were late in arriving so missed the party and were forced to return home with heavy hearts, because of disappointment. The many friends and acquaintances of Miss Mae Smith will be glad to learn that she has been given a position in Durham, North Carolina, of the National Religious Training school. Miss Smith is employed as leading soprano and is drawing a nice salary for her work. She expects to travel extensively through the South and East and if possible will come as far West as Cheyenne with her quartet of trained singers. Pupils sent out from this school give concerts to raise money to support the institution. Mrs. Lena Mason, the noted evangelist, who is holding a series of meetings at Allen's Chapel, is meeting with great success. Regardless of inclement weather, every evening the church is filled to its utmost capacity and many are turned away for lack of accommodation. Much good is being done and many are added to th church at each service. On Sunday morning Chaplain Stull of Fort Russell delivered a very spiritual sermon to a large assembly eager and attentive hearers. The choir, under the direction of Mrs. J. A Baker, rendered beautiful music as usual. Mrs. Baker is an efficient directress and has a choir second to none, of which all may be justly proud. At the Second Baptist church Rev. P. C. Crutchfield filled his station morning and evening. The evening service was especially impressive. The reverend was at his best. Those who failed to hear him missed a treat. The Searchlight Club met the home of Mrs. Crutchfield on Thursday afternoon. The club seems to have taken on new life. At the last meeting a great interest was manifested and two of the charter members who have not been connected with the club for some time had their names enrolled. There will be a sock social at the Second Baptist church March 18 under the auspices of the Missionary Circle. Mr. J. T. Muse is able to be out after a two weeks' illness. Mrs. C. G. Ashford, who has been suffering with rheumatism for some time, is much improved. It is the wish of all of her friends that she may soon be herself again. Mrs. Ashford is greatly missed in our community as he has always been an active and helpful member to every organization to which she is connected. Mrs. Susie Bank has been shut in on account of sickness. Rev. James Washington was indisposed for a few days but is better at this writing. The sad news of the death of Mr. Edward Sloan was received with deep regret by all who knew him. Mr. Sloan came to Cheyenne some months ago for his health, but as time wore on he continued to grow weaker, and at least was forced to return to his home near St. Louis, where he passed away. His mother, father and brother were at his bedside when the end came. Mr. Sloan had suffered for some years with tuberculosis. DENVER PERSONAL MENTION Social News and Personal Mention Continued on Pages Four, Five and Eight THE STATE MEETING. The state conference of Negro voters held in Colorado Springs last Monday brought together quite a bunch of notables from various parts of the state. To the surprise of all, Denver did not have a representative on the ground. The morning session was given over to temporary organization and to the appointment of committees. W. H. Bess of Colorado Springs was selected temporary chairman and Miss G. Marshbanks of Pueblo was selected temporary secretary. The afternoon session was convened at 2:30 and at once went into a permanent organization with Mr. Geo W. Gross as president and Mr. O. U. Bray, secretary. Each of the sessions were largely attended and much enthralism manifested, especially on the report of the committee on resolutions. A pleasing feature of the conference was the large number of "fair confeeers" present. During a part of the afternoon session Mrs. A. L. Whittaker presided. Officers selected: Geo. W. Gross, Colorado Springs, president; T. P. Langon, Grand Junction, first vice-president; Mrs. A. L. Whittaker, Colorado Springs, second vice-president; Chas. R. Robinson, Colorado City, third vice-president; O. U. Bray, Pueblo, secretary; F. J. Loper, Colorado Springs, treasurer; M. U. Moore, Pueblo, sergeant-at-arms. LARGEST REPRESENTATION. The primaries of the Republican party in which were chosen the new committeemen and committeewomen who are to reorganize the party in conformity with the court decision joining the city and county of Denver under one government, chose colored men and women in four precincts, three in the Fourth ward and one in the Fifth ward. Those chosen were Messrs. Wm. O'Steam, Robert Maxwell, Frank Campton and C. A. Franklin and Mesdames Josie Williams, Edna Stone, Kate Campton and Lewis George. This is the largest representation of the race in the party in years and is indicative of a strong effort which will be made to register the entire voting strength of Negroes, and incline them to the Republican ticket. THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Sermon topics Sunday, March 17th: 11:00 a. m.—"Selling Out of Birthright ELECTS OFFICERS AND THAT IS ALL. T. P. Langdon of Grand Junction come on to Denver Tuesday from Colorado Springs, having attended the meeting called there for last Monday. He was the only delegate present from any other city than Colorado Springs and Pueblo. An equal number was present from the two, about fifteen each. He was a member of the committee on resolutions. The serious business of the convention was the election of officers and the recommendation of M. B. Brooks of Pueblo as a delegate to the Republican national convention.

FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Four, and Eight ONE RESULT CONTESTED. The editor wishes to thank the voters of Precinct 1 of Ward 5, for the very generous manner in which they responded to his request for their support in the primaries on Saturday. Though the conditions under which he ran were beclouded somewhat by statements made with the intention of injuring his candidacy, the majority showed clearly that other things being equal, they prefer a colored representative whom they know to a white representative whom they do not know. This disposition is brought out the clearer by their overwhelming vote for the colored candidate in the face of adverse statements. The result was 93 to 49. Two of the three judges were colored, A. R. Butler and Mrs. Effie Waldon. Mr. Ford, the white candidate, had eleven colored workers, some of them hired from among the residents of the precinct, and others who were sent out from the Bailey headquarters to help him. He also had five white workers, one auto and one carriage. C. A. Franklin had two workers, Wm. May and Curtis Harris. At the opening of the polls a large company of people assembled and it was then discovered that the Ford party had all the ballots and were offering only such as were already marked for him, withholding all that were left unmarked. This scheme, together with the cloud of workers with which he besieged the polls brought forth the latent possibilities of the friends of the colored candidates so that Dr. DeFrantz, S. H. Baxter and Mr. Bomar of 2852 Welton street volunteered and helped him until the polls closed. Their efforts, together with the loyalty of the voters themselves, achieved the victory. On Monday night, Mr. Ford appeared before the committee of nine in charge of the reorganization of the party, together with a lawyer, three white witnesses, and two colored. I. H. Harper and LeRoy Prince, and attempted to show that the election was conducted with unfairness, that white voters were intimidated and driven from the polls, that ballots were switched and that non-resident voters and Democrats voted. He even charged that a shooting affray had occurred near the polls, frightening away voters. After hearing the rebuttal by Franklin and his witnesses, the contest was thrown out bp the committee of nine. CAMPBELL CHAPEL. Corner Lawrence and Twenty-third Streets.

INDICATIONS OF EXODUS TO CUBA Promoter Calls Island an Eden For Colored Americans. HOW THE PLAN IS REGARDED. Movement Headed by R. M. R. Nelson to Remove Thousands From the Southern States Said to Have Backing of Wealthy Capitalists—Plenty of Room For Thrift Planters. Havana, Cuba. — R. M. R. Nelson, whose address is Lista, Havana, came to Cuba in July, 1898, and opened Cuba's only gold mine for a company of white men (Americans), who have robbed him of his share. He has not sat down and whined over his losses. He was in New York in December last on business and was optimistic about Cuba and its future. He urged his friends to flee from the chilling blasts of the north to this Edenland. He said that Flagler's $40,000,000 bridge across the sea was proof of a movement to make Cuba the playground of the world's rich; that land values in Cuba would increase faster than in New York city. Mr. Nelson talked interestingly of this beautiful isle of the sea and expressed the opinion that when American Negroes came to know of the splendid opportunities which here await them they will begin to take a more lively interest in the opportunities which it offers to the farmer, the mechanic and skilled laborers with a little money to invest. After fourteen years of talking, writing and lecturing he said he was not surprised to find that every paper in Cuba is now discussing his plan, backed by millionaires, to bring from the south 10,000 Negro farmers who have money and place them in Cuba. Some of these newspapers are edited by southern white men, left over after the conquest of Spain by the United States, who perhaps naturally do not A. M. want to see the Negroes of the south enjoy better industrial opportunities than they now have. The Havana Telegraph, edited by a fair minded gentleman, in an editorial a column and a half long takes an optimistic view of the proposed plan to place 10,000 Negro farmers from the south, who want to improve their condition politically and financially. It says: "Although we have lived in Cuba for more than a dozen years, we have never seen displayed blacker ingratitude than that shown during the last week by the organs of Cuban public opinion to the American Negro who played so large a part in winning Cuba's freedom. "Did American Negroes of the Ninth and Tenth United States cavalry and those of the Twenty-fourth infantry prove themselves inferior in the fighting about Santiago to the Cuban Negroes making up the army of Calixto Garcia? Was there ever as brave a deed done by Cuban Negroes as that of the American Negroes of the Twenty-fourth United States infantry who volunteered to do guard duty at the yellow fever hospital? And has any one a better right to come to Cuba than have the brethren of those Negroes who fought so well in Cuba's cause?" Any American farmer who desires to migrate to Cuba and who has the means to do so and to support himself while getting established has as much right to change his residence as any American white man and as many American white men are doing constantly. A sugar plantation in Cuba will last ten years without replanting. There is fine pasturage here and every variety of tropical fruits, with many species unknown to Americans. The climatic conditions are ideal. Edenland it is, as Mr. Nelson calls it, and he years for more American Negroes of the right stamp and class to locate in Cuba and grow up with the country. The plan is feasible and practical and offers a partial solution of the Negro problem in the United States. Prejudiced Americans who have come to Cuba to make their fortunes naturally do not want to see American Negroes here for obvious reasons. Mr. Nelson will furnish any information desired by colored men in the United States who may be thinking of Cuba as a field for profitable labor. MASONIC ORDER MAKES PROGRESS Steady Advance of the Fraternity in North Carolina. PAYS ALL CLAIMS PROMPTLY. Story of Colonel James H. Young's Work as Secretary of the Endowment Department and Amount Paid to the Beneficiaries of Deceased Members During His Administration. By GEORGE F. KING. Raleigh, N. C.—The remarkable progress that the Afro-American folk are making in this state is largely due to their ability to co-operate along lines conducive to a growth that tends for the race's best interest. This fact is strikingly evidenced in fraternal circles. The Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina is one of the most progressive and intelligent bodies in the country. It is composed of the material element of the race in the state, and its tenets are such as have placed it upon so high a standard that M. B. COLONEL JAMES H. YOUNG. it is conceded by the officials of the state that it is a concrete ideal for other fraternal organizations. Bankers, farmers, professional men, educators and business men and other citizens who contribute substantially to civilization compose the rank and file of this powerful society; hence the spirit of abnegation of self for higher usefulness which takes this organization out of the category of the ordinary secret order. The endowment department of this fraternity is one of the features that show the Negro's ability to manage large affairs judiciously. The man who handled his forces wisely and brought prestige to the organization and race is Colonel James H. Young, grand secretary of the endowment department. He is possessed of such sterling qualities that he is regarded by both races in the south as an exceptional man. Colonel Young is a "real" colonel. He gained national distinction early in life and especially as colonel of the Third North Carolina volunteer infantry during the Spanish-American war. Colonel Young and a number of the leading men of the fraternity previous to 1902, at which time the endowment department was established, had been carefully considering plans that would place the organization upon a basis that would protect the beneficiaries of the deceased members of the craft. They appreciated the fact that large salaries and other heavy expenses if connected with the office would incumber the movement and the growth that was justifiable, so this effort was begun upon a comprehensive basis. Colonel Young has served his state in various capacities. As one of its most conservative and able legislators he has held for years and is still holding an important office in the internal revenue department of the government in this city and has put into his work for the craft those energies that have made him one of the leading public men of the race in the south. This department of the order has steadily grown under the management of the colonel. It has paid in death claims over $175,000. These claims were not held up and the beneficiaries deprived of their claims for an indefinite period, but they were paid as fast as they became due and without complaint or litigation. In religious movements Colonel Young leads the laity of the state. He is identified with every undenominational movement in North Carolina that is for the religious and general uplift of the race. He is president of the North Carolina undenominational Sunday school convention. He is one of the officials of the National Religious Training school in Durham. At a recent meeting of the advisory board of this noted institution, Judge Jeter C. Pritchard of the United States circuit court presiding, he subscribed a large amount to the endowment fund of the school and was followed by other prominent white and Afro-Americans attending the meeting. One can readily see why the Masons in North Carolina are doing such remarkable work for the race.

The Intercollegiates' club was organized a little more than a year ago for the purpose of getting the colored students together, believing that such association would benefit each one and that student life would have more effect upon the community. The success of the club is largely due to the loyalty of its members and also to the encouragement which the organization has received from its immediate friends and the general public. The club represents five colleges—namely, University of Pennsylvania, Temple university, Medico-Chirurgical college, Philadelphia Dental college and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Among the activities of the club are to be found a basketball team, a track team, a baseball team, a tennis team and a glee club. The debating team met the Harrisburg (Pa.) Intercollegiate's forum debaters on March S. subject for discussion, "Can a Citizen Better Serve His Country by Consistently Supporting One Party Than by Being an Independent Voter?" Those representing the Philadelphia Intercollegiate on the affirmative were Philip J. Jones and George C. Hayes of the University of Pennsylvania and Whittier H. Wright of Temple university. Those representing the negative were Luther L. Newman, Stewart Davis and Denny Bibbs of Dickinson college of Pennsylvania. The debate was held at Cherry Memorial Baptist church, of which the Rev. William A. Creditt, LL. D., is pastor. Great interest was manifested throughout the city in this meeting, which was the most popular literary event thus far this season.

We have tried to be bigger than party and have exhorted our people to go to the primaries and vote in general élections for some party—the one most nearly expressing their ideals—even though it was not the one of our choice. We have besought leaders of parties tu exercise their overlordship and give to us our just due. But looking back- ward, we see that we have failed to be as influential as we might have been, for two reasons. In the first place, our efforts have lacked force because they were not stamped with the approval of the masses of colored yoters, expressed by their voluntary selection of us as spokesman. While they agreed with us, their yotes cast for our platform were needed to make it theirs. Being self-dele- gated, we were little if any more effective in getting proper consideration for them than were other self-appointed leaders in selling the race out. ‘The other reason lies in conditions as they are—the world is his who can hold it. Political demands made in the name of citizens who have voted for their spokesman carry with them the implied threat of reprisal if they are not met. In the wild scramble for power and pelf, we have been the ones neglected, because our demands have had no backing. Our fairness Is granted, our yoting strength is known, our loyalty is unquestioned, but our power is inefficient. Meetings cannot remedy it, resolutions elect no officials, stay-at-home yoters control no elections. S Therefore the editor of the Statesman offered himself as a candidate for committeeman in the Republican primaries in the precinct in which he lives. He promised to work for fair treatment for Negroes at the hands of the Re- publican party. On that platform he is elected, and whatever power the voters of one precinct can give his yoice, he has. When other precincts shall have expressed their choices, and a number of Negroes stand forth as men who are championing the cause of “square deal’ for the race, we shall then have as much power as our number of votes entitles us to. We do not believe that we Negroes should make our condition the one all-absorbing question. But on the other hand, there is no reason in common sense why our participation in politics should always be directed to the solution of some problem of the white yoter and never to the solution of our own. In a representative form of government like ours, we must take the initiative for ourselves or suffer the consequences. We therefore make known to all our readers our intentions and our ex. periences, in the hope that we may both by precept and example make a be. ginning of general participation by colored voters in politics in all its rami: fications. We happened to be opposed to a candidate who was supported by the Bailey faction of the Republican party, but we disclaim any intention of making that fact our occasion for opposing Mr. Bailey. Our platform is not factional. We hope to convince Mr. Bailey or any other candidate who rep: resents the Republican party in the election, that he can receive the larger colored vote, the greater is his willingness to give them equitable treatment We believe our election arose from a desire by colored voters that we dc this, and we shall do our best to be worthy of their trust. MERE SHAM! There occurs in the news columns of this paper two statements of the proceedings of the “state meeting” held in Colorado Springs on Monday, both of which are from participants. Neither has any prejudice against it but rather was in sympathy with it. We ask our readers to search either statement to discover what else was done except the electing of officers. Of course there were resolutions! What meeting of Negroes is without its resolutions? But no steps were taken to inform the masses of people of things necessary to be done or to get them to work for their accom: plishment. Notwithstanding the pre- dictions we made of this meeting aroused the resentment of the pro- moters, we have failed to find in the meeting itself, or in their newspaper answers to us the reasons for its call- ing, on the other hand its delibera- tions and the silence of its friends on this point have confirmed our charge that it was intended only to give a fictitious value to the set of politicians who promoted it. Of course we would like to see or- ganization. But the people must first be interested in any movement for it to have strength. Of course we would like to see platforms and resolutions and committees and all the other ma- chinery of political activity. But the sham representation, the empty reso- lutions, and somnambulant organiza. tion which arises from the need of the few for public notice, are not po: litical activity of the right sort. May. be Mr. Brooks, its originator, will go to the national convention as a dele gate, but if he expects to do so on this straw backing, he will be badly disappointed. CITY NEWS.

The seating capacity of the new Zion church was taxed on last Sunday afternoon at the missionary mass meeting at which Dr. Jordan and Dr. Fisher were the principal speakers. All the city pastors attended and helped the ministers of the Baptist denomination make the gathering a great meeting. Dr. Fisher of Chicago opened with an address that is characteristic of his eminent ability. He has traveled abroad and made a splendid introductory speech, after which Dr. Jordan, secretary of the Baptist Foreign Board, delivered his message. He is pre-eminently a man of ideas and of force. What he says so far overshadows how he says it, that he grips an audience like one inspired. An appeal for missionary effort resulted in $100 being raised. Dr. E. J. Fisher of Chicago was entertained at a 6 o'clock dinner last Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson T. Fisher in Park Hill, the occasion also being Mr. Fisher's birthday. Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Perkins have returned from California, where they went for the benefit of his health. He is now recovered. Their stay was pleasant and entirely satisfactory. He is once more at work at the Mint.

He writes: "I not only have cured bad cases of eczema in my patients with Electric Bitters, but also cured myself by them of the same disease. I feel sure they will benefit any case of eczema." This shows what thousands have proved, that Electric Bitters is a most effective blood purifier. It's an excellent remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running sores. It stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, helps digestion, builds up the strength. Price 50 cents. Satisfaction guaranteed by all drummets.

Normal and Ag ricultural institute, which closed 1: this city on Monday, Mareh 4, was it many respects the most successful or record. Besides the two meetings held here, similar gatherings were heid it New York, Brooklyn, Boston, New Ha ven and {n Orange, N. J. ‘The musical and literary programs for the various meetings were rendered by the students in the party, Dr. H. B. Frissell, Major Morton and a number of influential educators and men of ‘prominence in public life, who told of ‘the good work and wide influence of the school and why they believed it should receive the hearty support which it is entitled to. Among the speakers at the difterent meetings were Dr. Frisell, priucipal of the school; Major R. R. Morton, Dr. Jymes M. Taylor of Vassar college, Dr. Booker Day exilnsters Professor [en- ry Farnam@bf Yale college, Dr. James M. Ludlow, the Hon, George Mea veny of New York, Mr. Frank DL. Babvott, president of the Brooklyn Armstrong association, Mr. Robert ©. Ogden snd the Hon, Joseph H. Choate. ‘The plantation songs Sung by thirty Hampton cadets iu cniform and the stories of Indian and African life (old by Wolf, one of the Indian stents who are taking the blacksmith (rade at Hampton, and Madikane Quand: ine Cele, a Zulu graduate in wheel: it ing, were instructive as well as | amusing Dr, Hollis B. Frissell, who bas been the principal of Hampton ins‘ icute since 1893, spoke on “Negro and Indian Folklore.” He said in part: “The children of the emanespsted slaves were generally tanght to forset all that reminded them of the lone Ss Fe : : eet at go. eae Ge ES ah) ; as = years of race bondage, and the more enlightened of their children are only just awaking to the fact that in for- getting those old spirituals or religious songs they are allowing a pricciess in- heritance to slip away from them. ‘The Indians, although not so prone to Uespise that whieh is exclusively thelr own, have been inclined to guard tt jealously from the scrutiny of the white man “So it is that many of their tradl- tlous, songs, customs and crafts bave been permanently lost. ‘The present day Indian undoubtedly owes his Fe- tentive memory, his quick ear and his fleet foot chiefly to the ancestors who memorized the long stories and the de- tail of the complex ceremonies and whose strenuons physical training de- veloped suppleness and endurance. Each race of mankind has its own peculiar riches. and each must con- tribute something to the civilization of the world “The warllke Zulu tribe of South Africa has many customs and cere- monies strikingly like those of the nboriginal American. The Zula love soug, sung under similar restrictions, conveys the sime message, and. the war dance bas not oniy siuiiar steps, but the same purpose of inciting to bravery and endurance. In slavery the Negro lost entirely his love songs and his war songs. In thelr place grew up the labor songs, a few game and dance songs and a vast number and ¥a- rlety of spirituals or plantation songs. “Of the Negro muste Walter Dam- rosch has said: ‘If proof positive of a soul in the Negro rice should be de: manded it can be given, for thoy have brought over from Africa and develop: ed in this country, even under all the ‘unfavorable conditions of slavery, A exes wonderful, so beautiful and yet so strange that, lke the gypsy musle of Hungary, {t Is alike the ad miration and despair of educated must. clans of our rice.

FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM. Corona, Ala.—About 300 farmers, ministers and teachers attended the first conference held under the aus- pices of the Corona Normal and Indus- trial institute recently in response to a call issued by Professor M. H. Grif. fin, principal. “Improving the Churel:- es and Schools and Widening Their In- fluence” was the subject for open dis- cussion the first day, while “How to Make Farm Life Attractive to Young Men” was the subject for the second day. 2 A great amount of interest was man- ifested in the proceedings, and the dis- cussions were attended with a show of — OO Pe ee Fo mg a peta we Se 23 a oa e ae SAAR Enon oll aaa interest that was gratifying. Besides the discussion of subjects by a large number of the farmers attending the conference addresses were made by W. ‘T. B. Williams, agent of the John ¥. Slater and Jeanes fund boards of Hampton, Va.; Dr, C. O. Boothe and B. F. Riley of Birmingham. The organt zation of the conference, which will be an annual feature hereafter, was perfected hy the election of J. R. Nal? President, It. S. Sykes vice president, M. C. Cooley secretarysand Fred D. Edmondson corresponding secretary. Strong resolutions were adopted in which the shortcomings of white and black alike were condemned and at- tention called to methods of better liv: ing that would bring about fruitfal re- lations between the races. The reso- lutions read in part: Mindful of the many good things that have come to us since emancipation—ot the progress we have made, of the friends we have gained, of the opportunity that Hes before us for growth In the south- land and a growing necessity of our be- coming 2 part of American clvilization in every respect—we, the members of the Corona Negro conference, take occasion to express our sincere thanks to all forces and agencies that have made theso things possible for the Nero race. To the southern white people and to all people of America who are Interested in the Negro as a portion of our cosmopol- {tan population we plead for further op- portunity to exercise a man's privilege In all things that pertain to American cly- lization. We plead for duo process of law jn the determination and protection of ‘our rights, ax in the caso of other citl- zens, and for & full share of tho blessings of our state governments in the educa- tion of our children and in the guaranty of our lives and property. ‘We are not In tho least discouraged be- “cause of spasmodic cases of disregard for EX and order, notwithstanding these out- breaks are becoming, more and more fre- quent and are directed against one portion of the country’s people, Wo are fearful only lest that disregard that {s so much directed against the safety of Negroos may extend to the whole poople and be the cause of even graver consequences. That the Negro himself has shortcomings and fa not in position himself to cast the first stono goes without saying. For these shortcomings We plead for patience and sympathetic forbearance that should char- acterize the attitude of the weak toward the strong. = ‘Wo would enjoin upon people of strength everywhere the greatest care in thelr lives and actions lest the Negro feel a certain license in copying thelr unlawful practices, Wo earnestly feel and believe that the administration of the law in the caso of petty criminals might be tem- ered with justice and human kindness fhe Negro has small chance to prove honesty of motive when confronted with the opposing testimony of a white pollos ‘official whose Income often depends upon the number of arrests and convictions. To the Negro we would urge obedience to all laws, tho best use of his time and tho practice of economy in the purchase of nocesaltics. ‘We recognize the worth of the Corona ‘Normal and Industrial institute as a great factor in the training of our boys and girls and are thankful for its influence among us. We pledge to the principal, ‘Mr. M. HE. Griffin, his wite and the teach- ers who are laboring with them our con- tinued effort to, encourage and support the work. We rejoice in this expression of the nchool's desire to be of service ta the whole people of the community and to spread its influence Into the homes of the people. r = CHAMPION SHOE REPAIRING ‘== Ladies Sewed Soles 40c i Gents Sewed Soles 50c \SRSEG SD ~ WEIEE* 2056 LARIMER STREET a ARTHUR JACKSON’S ORCHESTRA ROBERT TOLBERT, 1st Violin S.R.

Fire Insurance Life Insurance Care of Property Houses To Rent Placing First Mor LAWRENCE JONES, Licensed Embalme SPORTS AND THE ST SPORTS AND THE STAGE By Leon Pryor A word comes from for-off Australia that a Negro formerly of this country and a resident of Detroit, Mich., has opened up a first-class picture show in Sidney, and is doing a successful business. His name is Carl Smith. OMAHA THEATERS DRAW NO LINES. It seems of late that the colored man is given a better run for his money everywhere in the country, much more so than right here in Denver. The theaters, cafes, saloons, hotels, drug stores, and many other places hang out their signs against the Negro. More now than ever before in the history of Denver. And why? The Negro seems unable to answer. Omaha, Neb., used to be the same as Denver, but after the Negroes got up in arms so strong against such treatment from the white man that he had to comply with their wishes, there is no more color lines drawn in that city and the Negro can go almost any place he wishes to, especially the theaters. He has the pleasure of sitting any place in the house, top or bottom. BLACK AND TAN COMEDY PAIR EN ROUTE. The quartette of Denver boys who closed a very successful week at the Crystal theater last night, will leave on the Pantages circuit today for St. Joe and then they are booked to play all of the Pacific coast houses and they are wished much success by all friends in and out of the profession. HARRY CROSS & CO. A big Southern vaudeville act, composed of seven all-star actors, headed by Harry Cross, left the states last week for Europe, where they have an engagement of one year solid. The act is said to be a scream from start to finish, everything fast, witty and clever. The company consists of three girls and four boys and they are all out for big success. BASEBALL NOTES OF THE R. M. A. CLUB. On the 23rd of this month, at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club, the board of directors will hold a meeting pertaining to baseball exclusively, and all of the young men who are desirous of making the team will be on hand at 8:30 p. m., Friday evening, March 23. JESSIE SHIPP, THE PLAYWRIGHT It is rumored that Mr. Jessie Shipp, the great Negro playwright of much fame, will in the near future write his one best and last play, and then retire from the business. Mr. Shipp has written most all of the plays that have made Negro actors famous. "LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET" A SUCCESS AT EUREKA. The home talent of Denver were out in great form last Monday night. The Caldwell's Dramatic company is due a great deal of credit as they undertook to put on a play that was more than a notion for amateurs. But nevertheless they produced a drama in three acts that was very clever. The characters in the company well remembered their lines but used very little expression. I believe Mr. Clarence Wilson has the making of a good show man, if he would take up the profession, as he used better expression than did all the rest of the company. And the dancing King Rastus was also a hit, including the Black and Tan Comedy Four. And on a whole the entertainment for the evening was very pleasing for those in attendance. JACK BLACKBURN. THE BOXER. In reply to the letter I received a fews ago concerning the where-abouts of one Jack Blackburn, the Negro boxer. I am not in a position to say, but some time last summer I was informed that he had been freed from prison and was somewhere in Australia with his manager, who intends to bring before the public once more the clever boy Jack, whom, before he went to prison, was considered one of the fastest lightweights in the ring, and it would only have been a matter of time before he would have been the crown wearer of the lightweight championship kingdom. And it is hoped that some day in the near future we will be surprised with one more Jack Blackburn. JOHN LARKINS AND JENNIE PEARL. Owing to the cancellation of this year's booking with their company of forty first-class performers, Jolly John Larkins and Jennie Pearl have been forced to enter vaudeville. The first of last fall the company started out in good spirits, but after the S. H. Dudley & Co. started out, it was a wise act when the management of the Larkins company canceled this year's engagements, as they were playing close dates to Dudley and they couldn't stand the gaff. GEORGIA CAMPERS IN CHICAGO The ten Georgia campers who played in this city a few weeks ago are now in Chicago, where they are closing a long engagement off the Pantages circuit. Manager Bonesy is negotiating for a booking abroad. THEATER TRALIA. AND THE STAGE Pee-pule of this city, what are you going to do for this summer? Are we going to have more pleasure this summer than we had last summer? If not, this is going to be one more dead city. Of course we will have some pleasure, but not as we should have. It is rumored that Mr. Dan Hodges, the dancing school man, is going to turn his academy into a summer palm garden, with all kinds of electrical effects, and plenty of fans, and everything to make life worth living in the hot, broiling summer time. Help. Help. Help. Help. JACK JOHNSON CLEANS UP ST. LOUIS. Jack Johnson is fast proving himself to be a master of all arts. One night last week in St. Louis, after he had gotten through playing, he had a banquet for some of his sporting friends, something like 100 boneless fowls and plenty of drinks. But before the table was spread Jack ups and proposes a small dice game, and at the closing of the little game Jack came out just $800 winner, and his friend, the Negro gambling king of St. Louis, Mr. Ollie Jackson, got away with the small amount of $500, and Jack has come to the conclusion that the sports of St. Louis don't know how to gamble. THE LINCOLN THEATER, NEW YORK. The management of the big Negro theater of New York City, the Lincoln, will install a big stock company in the near future. It will be the intention of the management to try out all kinds of plays with a large amount of dramas and comedies. They will also have a first-class producer who is capable of playing and teaching anything from Uncle Tom's Cabin to the very highest Shakespearian roles, and it is to be hoped that the management is making a successful venture. ROLLER SKATING CARNIVAL Luna Park Every Monday and Friday Nights REPELS ATTACK OF DEATH. "Five years ago two doctors told me I had only two years to live." This startling statement was made by Stillman Green, Malachite, Col. "They told me I would die with consumption. It was up to me then to try the best lung medicine and I began to use Dr. King's New Discovery. It was well I did, for today I am working and believe I owe my life to this great throat and lung cure that has cheated the grace of another victim." It's folly to suffer with coughs, colds or other throat and lung troubles now. Take the cure that's safest. Price 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottle free at all drummists. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT.
