Denver Star

Prepare To Take Part In Your Party Primaries BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN AFRICA Twenty-Third Year BUSINES OPPORT IN Monrovia, Liberia, Jan. 24, 1912. Rev. D. E. Oyer, Denver, Colo. Dear Brother Over: Through the mercy of God I am again on the needy field. In company with Mr. L. Lyles, Chicago, Ill., I arrived in Monrovia Jan. 17th, safe and sound. My trip was filled with many interesting events. I shall call to your attention only the most important. We left Liverpool on the 3rd of January. We were the first to book for the steamer, which was crowded with passengers, every one of which was bound for Africa. Among ninety-four passengers, my friend and I were the only men of color. Yet the American Negro says it is not time yet to go to Africa. Nearly every one of the passengers was either a prospector or trader. Most of the talk was how to use the blacks to get the gold and other products of the country. Nearly everyone spoke of the bright prospects of the God-given country of black men, Liberia. People are pleased to see me again on the ground. My soul simply cries out for this little spot which can easily support ten millions of people. Liberia is rated as being the richest spot on the West Coast. Gold and iron are found almost everywhere. The possibilities are brighter than ever before. The only thing we need is men; men with means. O, the golden opportunities that are passing. The Africans are actually begging the American Negro to come and teach them what to do, or how to develop the resources of the country. The white man is here as never before and the talk of the hour is gold, iron, rubber, coffee, ivory, palm oil and the other products of the country. Oh, God, for some men of means. Now is the time. Send somebody now, for the possibilities are beyond conception. The fever is not to be considered, but grasping and making good the opportunity is the thing. The public is begging for a drug store—have asked me to open one, but I am bound for the country. Can you not send some one out right away? God knows it will be a shame if we Negroes sit still and wait for some white man to open a drug store here. The American African Trading Co. opened up and the first day they took in $900 in cash. They were compelled to fairly push the people out of the store at 5 p. m. The store is now practically, empty waiting for another shipment from America. Two good American stores here would soon run the Europeans out of the business. American everything is needed and desired here. Mr. Faulkner wants someone to join alm in the ice business here. He now makes about 280 tons and the demand is about 500. The people are forced to buy ice from the steamers. If you know of anyone who desires to go into this business have him write Mr. R. J. R. Faulkner, Monrovia, Liberia. Every honest walk of life is needed here. I expect to start back into the country next week and start my plans for a farm, at least seventy miles from the coast. I find that I can build a nice hospital in the interior for about $2,500. I hope to get it up in eighteen months if the money is sent. But what I must do first is to get up living buildings and farm land cleared. Tell all the friends who have been promised personal letters that as soon as I get the time I will write. I expect to write you every two weeks, and will keep you posted as to conditions as I go forward. Love to all and pray for our success. I am TO ISSUE RECORDER DAILY During the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, Kansas City, Mo. — Arrangements have been completed for the publication of the Christian Recorder daily during the sessions of the twenty-fifth quadrennial conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which will be held at Allen A. M. E. church, this city, in May. Each day the Christian Recorder will contain a full report of the proceedings, including the report of the various general officers. The paper will contain eight pages and will be sent through the mails to subscribers each day. By that plan it is hoped to have all communicants and ministers of the denomination kept fully in touch with the proceedings. Ministers of the denomination all over the country are now taking orders for the daily journal. The publication of the daily Christian Recorder will be in charge of Bishop B. F. Lee, R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder; G. W. Allen, editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, and F. N. McDonald, editor of the Western Christian Recorder: The project is being financed by the financial department of the church, of which the Rev. John Hurst is the present secretary. Dr. Hurst is most enthusiastic for the proposition and says that the humblest member of the church should have a full opportunity to keep in touch with the affairs of the denomination. He will very likely be elevated to the bishopric at this session of the conference. METHODIST CHURCH NOTES. Historical Significance of Potomac District of Baltimore Conference. Washington. The Potomac district of the Baltimore A. M. E. conference has within its borders some of the oldest churches in the denomination. Its territory includes all of the District of Columbia and southern Maryland, including the Waters A. M. E. church in Baltimore. Within its jurisdiction is located the financial headquarters of the denomination, of which Dr. John Hurst has charge. Dr. Hurst has made a good record during his term of four years as financial secretary of the denomination and is now being prominently mentioned in connection with the bishopric. Dr. B. F. Watkins is the secretary of the board of church extension, which has offices on Fourteenth street, this city, just a few doors from the financial headquarters. He is a veteran of the civil war. The Metropolitan church here is pastored by the eloquent Dr. I. N. Ross, who has pastored a number of prominent churches in REV. DR. L. N. BOSS. various sections of the country, and, though he will not be a delegate to the next general conference, he is being urged by admirers in many sections of the country to run for the bishopric. Among the other men in this vicinity who are prominently connected with the work of the Potomac district are the Revs. C. H. Young, U. G. Leeper, J. H. Robinson, L. N. Beckett, J. H. A. Martin and that learned pulpit veteran Dr. D. P. Seaton, who is now pastor of Brown Memorial church, in northeast Washington. Among the ministers who may also be mentioned are L. C. Curtis, pastor or Mount Moran church, Annapolis, Md. The presiding elder of the district is the Rev. C. H. Stepteau, one of the best known ministers in this country. He is a graduate of Wilberforce university and will be one of the delegates to the coming A. M. E. general conference, which meets in Kansas City, Mo., in May. Gilchrist Stewart Gets Clerkship. Speaker Merritt of the New York state assembly in Albany has recently appointed Mr. Gilchrist Stewart to a deputy clerkship in the assembly. The position carries a salary of $2,000. Mr. Stewart is a well known Republican leader in New York city and was highly indorsed for the position by the Hoh. Charles W. Anderson and other influential men. CENTURY OF METHODISM. To Be Celebrated In 1916—Movement Started by Dr. R. H. W. Leak. Raleigh, N. C.-Rev. Dr. R. H. W. Leak of this city has started a movement to celebrate the centennial of the African Methodist Episcopal church to be held in Philadelphia in 1916. The idea has already been approved by the board of bishops of the denomination. It was in Philadelphia in 1816 that Richard Allen and a band of followers who had a few years before seceded from the Methodist church on account of the manifestations of race prejudice met and organized the A. M. E. church. From that time the denomination has steadily grown until today it has nearly a million members, many educational institutions and other interests. Its foreign mission work in West and South Africa has grown to large proportions. Many of the most successful ministers and teachers among our people received their education and REV. DR. R. H. W. LEAK. special training in the schools fostered by the African Methodist church. Dr. Leak's plan will probably be adopted by the coming general conference of the denomination. Dr. Leak is one of the best known men in the connection. Born in North Carolina over fifty years ago, he has long been active in the church, having been a delegate to every general conference since 1880. He is the founder of Kittrell college at Kittrell, N. C., and even mortgaged his home to give this now flourishing school a start. He is prominently mentioned for the episcopacy and has strong backing from his conference, the North Carolina, and from other sections of the country. He is a presiding elder, with headquarters at Durham, N. C. Able Trio of United States Senators. Forty-two years ago the late Hiram Revels, who was a native of North Carolina, was elected to the United States senate by the Mississippi legislature. Mr. Revels was educated at the Quaker college, Liberty, Ind., and at Knox college, in Illinois. In 1809 he went to Natchez, Miss., where he soon became active in politics and was elected to the city council, and the next year he was duly chosen as United States senator. He served as such from February, 1870, to March, 1871. Two other colored men have also served as United States senators—namely, the Hon. P. B. S. Pinchback and the late Hon. B. K. Bruce. They were all able men and filled their station with credit and marked adaptability. Professor J. Melvin Lamb Dies. In the recent sudden death of Dr. J. Melvin Lamb, professor in the medica! TURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1912, department of Howard university Washington, the institution has deprived of one of its most efficient instructors. Professor Lamb had served the school for over a quarter of a century. He was widely known, much loved and noted for his close application to the science of medicine in all of its branches. Educated Young Men on the Farm. The colored population of Alabama has increased by upward of $80,000 within the past ten years, according to the latest report. There are 16,290 more farms owned by the race in the state, and the total farm acreage is said to be 3,000,000. The valuation of farm property is estimated at $10,000,000. This remarkable increase is due in a large measure to the more recent improved methods of intensive farming used by the hundreds of, educated young men who have gone out from the various industrial schools and are devoting their time to agricultural pursuits. 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. Mrs. J. W. Holloway and Mrs. Brown of Holbrook were visitors in the city a few days last week. We regret very much to see the Winslow family move from Rocky Ford. Mr. Winslow is now employed at Pueblo, Colo., and the family will leave Thursday evening for that place. Messrs. Tyler, Berry, Renda and Mrs. Renda of La Junta were visitors in the city last Sunday. Mrs. Anna Craig of Pueblo is in the city to remain indefinitely. Mrs. M. Bass very pleasantly entertained the Mission Circle and Bible class last Thursday afternoon. The literary program for next week is one of interest and everybody wishes to be present. The city schools have been closed on account of scarlet fever. Only a few cases have been reported, but to prevent the spread of the disease the schools are closed. CHEYENNE, WYO. Under the leadership of the Evangelist, Mrs. Lena Mason, the Allen A. M. E. church is having the greatest success with its revival that it has ever had before. Many thought that on account of the Rev. Howard having left here only about two months ago, the attendance would not be very large, but the church has been packed and jammed every night and Sunday that she has preached. There have been some white people and a large number of both white and colored soldiers. There have been from five to ten converts every night. It is believed that if an evangelist of any other race were doing anything near as much as this one is doing in the line of teaching people the better way to get along in this world that their work would be printed in large glaring headlines on the first page of every daily paper in the city. For that is the way they do when a colored person does anything harmful, and especially if he does harm to a white person. Fort Russell, Wyo., Mch. 11, 1912. The funeral of Private Rucker, Troop "I," Ninth cavalry, who was stabbed to death on the night of March the 8th, by Blacksmith Stuart, same troop, was held here today.

News comes from Seattle that a former Denver boy, Russell Smith, is one of the most promising Negro business man of that city. He is said to be the manager of the new club known as the Dumas, and is also quite a politician with a good standing of friends, and Mr. Smith is wished much success by all of his friends in Denver. THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Sermon topics, Sunday, March 24: 11 a.m., "Emigration a Divine Means for the World's Civilization." 5 p.m., "Darker People—Their Past, Present and Future." The question has often been raised by ignorant, prejudiced, short-sighted people why people migrate from one country to another without any visible signs of desire on the part of such expatriants' returning home. The morning discourse is destined to reveal the facts of the case. The evening sermon will show that the darker types of humanity all over the world are resuming their logical place in the economy of the divine plan. A hearty welcome is extended to everybody. We enter on the last week of our church year's work. We sincerely trust that all members who have been handicapped on account of the extremely bad weather this winter will bestir themselves along all lines and thus end the church year even better than they began it. Next Sabbath at 5 p. m. the sacraments of baptism and communion of the Lord's supper will be observed, before which confirmation of candidates to full membership will take place. The Guild will hold its next convention next Tuesday night at the residence of Mme. Maude Kerr, 2542 Franklin street. The entire membership is requested to be present as there will be important business to transact. NEGRO CITIES BALL TEAMS. The Negro baseball league that was to have still lived throughout the East and South have died away, and now the big baseball clubs will play Just as they can get a game. The Chicago Giants, Lelands, St. Louis Giants, New York Giants, Philadelphia and a few more cities will play telegraphic ball. NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. A beautiful day brought out a large crowd of worshipers to our service last Sunday. The pastor preached to a sympathetic audience and at the close of the sermon three were added to the church. The rite of baptism was administered at the close of the morning service. Our pulpit will be filled next Sunday morning by former pastor Dr. Jne. E. Ford. Our brother, Deacon Wallace, who has been called to the work of the gospel ministry, will preach his initial sermon at the evening service. It is hoped that a large congregation will attend on the services of each. The pastor is exceedingly anxious that those candidates for baptism who yet remain on the list will be ready for the water Sunday morning. It is not wise to delay such an important matter as church fellowship and each FIVE CENTS A COPY SONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Four. and Eight should be ready to come to the Lord's table the first Sunday in April. Our Brother A. C. Jackson spent the day with the church at Boulder, last Sunday, and the coming Sunday will go to preach in Eaton. It is very encouraging to see these active young men respond to the calling of the Lord. On Sunday morning, March 31st, the ladies of the Court will listen to their annual sermon at the 11 o'clock hour with the Zion congregation. The pastor will preach the sermon. At the B. Y. P. U. service the same day, at 6:30 p. m., a review of the Sunday school lessons for the first quarter will be given by means of the stercopticon. None should miss this rare treat. A sacred concert by the choir will be rendered at the evening service on the last Sunday of the month. Our congregation knows that a more delightful service cannot be found in the city. Come early in order to be seated. Thursday evening, April 4th, the choir will render a sacred cantata, entitled "The Seven Last Words of Jesus." Much time and painstaking effort have been expended to make this the most entertaining musical ever rendered by any musical organization in the city. Tickets are now on sale, 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children. THE CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER —EPISCOPAL. Twenty-second Avenue and Humboldt Street—The Rev. Henry B. Brown, Priest. The services of the past Sunday were the best attended since the new priest, Father Brown, took charge. The day being a fine one many availed themselves of the opportunity to worship, and the church was well filled both at the morning and evening services. At 11 o'clock the rich and beautiful Eucharistic service was impressively rendered, the congregation heartily responding. The sermon of the priest brought home the teaching of the gospel for the day, that of Christ feeding the multitudes, and its application of Christ as "The Bread of Life." The Sunday school also had its largest attendance, the full staff of teachers being in attendance. The new assistant superintendent, Dr. Westbrook, who in answer to the priest's appeal, very kindly volunteered his services, will enter upon his duties on Sunday. Our staff of officers and teachers is now complete. The Rev. Fred W. Oaks, chaplain of the Chapel of Our Merciful Saviour, gave a very interesting and helpful sermon in the evening. On Sunday morning next, at 11 o'clock, the priest will preach from the subject, "The Sinlessness of Jesus." The second class for Holy Baptism, consisting of infants and children, will receive this sacrament at the same service. At choral evensong, 7:45 p. m., the Very Rev. Dean Hart of St. John's Cathedral will be the special preacher. The Sunday school officers and teachers will meet at the residence of the priest on Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock. The Sunday school scholars will assemble in the church at 4 o'clock every Friday afternoon for rehearsal for their special service on the afternoon of Easter day. On Friday evening, next, Rev. Charles Olmsted, D. D. of the diocese, will be the preacher. The class for Confirmation dates is being held even evening at 6:30 o'clock. You are cordially invi- any of these services at not a church home we come you to ours. SOCIAL SEASON IN WASHINGTON Elite Society Preparing For the Annual Assembly of the Monican Club—Taft and Wickersham Being Praised For Their Loyalty to Assistant Attorney General W. H. Lewis. Washington.—No city in the world has such a cultured and intelligent population as this city, and in no city has colored society attained a point so nearly approaching the best society of other races as is true of this city. Washington abounds in beautiful maidens and handsome matrons, and their social entertainments approximate those given by the society devotees in the exclusive aristocratic white circles. The homes of the colored people in Washington—that is, many of them—are large, commodious and elegantly furnished, and with the large number of high colored federal officials now in Washington an impetus is given to the social side of life. Just now the ladies are on the tiptoe of feminine expectation and anticipation in view of the approaching Monican club assembly, which is by far the most elaborate affair in Washington society. The after Lenten assembly of the Monican club is always a perfect riot of beautiful women, elegant gowns and fine looking gentlemen, the very cream of Washington's society always being present. There are few of Washington's colored Four Hundred—that is, the women—who are not now discussing and arranging for the gowns they will wear on this particular occasion. And these assemblies are usually attended by a large number of strangers, ladies and gentlemen coming from a distance to be present at the after Lenten assembly of the Monican club. The invitation list to a Monican club affair is usually limited to 350, and the result is there is always a veritable scramble to secure one of the much coveted invitations. The new president of the Monican club is Mr. Walter Pinchback, a son of ex-Governor Pinchback. The membership of the club itself is limited to twenty-five gentlemen. The regular monthly meeting is always followed by the serving of a collation almost equal to an ordinary Washington banquet. The stand that Attorney General Wickersham took in defense of Mr. William H. Lewis, the colored assistant attorney general, has caused him to be fairly flooded with letters of approval and commendation from colored men in every section and state of the country, and hundreds of white men are also writing the attorney general indorsing his courageous stand for a colored man. President Taft is also being praised in the most earnest manner by colored men, for it is well known here in Washington that President Taft was not only consulted by Attorney General Wickersham in the matter, but he gave unqualified approval of Mr. Wickersham's course. The 100,000 colored population in Washington, men and women in every walk of life, have done nothing for the past few weeks but discuss the defense of Mr. Lewis made by the attorney general. Through it all Mr. Lewis has borne himself with becoming modesty and dignity. Many a man, it is said, might have been swept off his feet by the favorable and commendable press reports received by Mr. Lewis, but not so with the brainy Boston man, who so acceptably fills the highest position ever given a Negro by any Republican administration. Capable Men in the Federal Service. Recorder of Deeds Henry Lincoln Johnson, who is just back after a month spent in his native state, Georgia, is so full of political news that you have only to mention politics to start the genial colonel from Atlanta in discoursing on the spendid qualities of his chief, President Taft. Mr. Johnson, it is said, is the man who swung Georgia in line for the president. An encouraging sign of the times is that Mr. Johnson is working loyally with the other distinguished colored federal officials here in looking after the best interests of the race. A distinguished member of congress the other day in referring to colored federal officials—and, by the way, he was a Democrat, too-said: "The class of colored men now holding office is a big improvement over those who held office some years ago, taken as a whole. And no president ever was surrounded with as many bright, brainy and really efficient Negroes as President Taft has surrounded himself with. It used to be that the average colored federal official simply drew his monthly stipend and permitted the white men of the office to do the work. The bunch of colored federal officials in Washington, and it is the largest number ever assembled at the capitol, are all workers, every man of them knowing his duties and performing them with signal ability. The fact that President Taft has surrounded himself with such an intelligent, capable and efficient corps of colored officials, and so many of them, is responsible for his (the president's) strong hold on the race. The foregoing from a congressman, from a man who frequently has business with the bureaus ever which colored officials preside, is regarded by colored men throughout the country as a high tribute to the race. Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court delivered an address at Harrisburg, Pa., recently before the largest colored audience ever assembled in that city. The reports reaching Washington are to the effect that the judge made one of the finest addresses ever delivered there by a man of any race, and the large number of whites present attested to the popularity of the judge and the good feeling existing between the whites and colored people of Harrisburg. Judge Terrell, like Assistant Attorney General Lewis, is in great demand as a speaker by his race, requests being received by both of these men from every section of the country. Mrs. Mary C. Terrell, wife of Judge Terrell, easily the most brilliant colored woman orator in this country and having few equals among the whites, is also in great demand. The recent appearance in Boston of Mrs. Terrell, when she addressed the girls of two exclusive white schools, was one of the highest compliments ever paid the race, and Mrs. Terrell, according to the white press of Boston, acquitted herself splendidly. But Washington is thronged with colored men and women who are good speakers in public. Oratory is not a lost art among the colored people in Washington. Famous "Black Cabinet" to the Fore. The now famous "black cabinet" is being praised by the race in every part of the country for the effective work it did recently in urging the president to consider the cause of their race in making his appointment of a judge to succeed the late Judge Harlan. The "black cabinet," as it has been styled by a few, is composed of Assistant Attorney General Lewis, Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier, the collector of customs here. Whitfield McKinley; Judge Robert H. Terrell, Henry Lincoln Johnson. Recorder of Deeds James A. Cobb, assistant United States district attorney, and Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the navy. Mr. Tyler is regarded as the dean of the cabinet. He has been styled by some the "Black Senator Crane" for the reason that he is so quiet, unobtrusive and effective in what he undertakes to do. The pretty thing about this cabinet is the cordial relations existing between them. Hardly a day passes but what these six officials take their noon lunch together, at which time they carefully discuss and plan things for the benefit of their race. Hon. J. C. Napier, register of the treasury, is back at his desk after a trip through Florida with Dr. Washington. Before returning to Washington Mr. Napier stopped off at his home in Nashville. Tenn. Mr. Napier is making a most enviable reputation as register of the treasury, and the treasury department regards him as the superior of any predecessor. Office-holding is a public trust and duty with Mr. Napier. for possessed of much of this world's good he does not need to hold office for a livelihood. Hon. Ralph Tyler Back From the West. Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor of the navy department, is back in Washington after a quick circuit of the west. What he heard and saw no one knows, for, as usual, in political matters he is as uncommunicative as a clam. William L. Houston, ex-grand master of the Odd Fellows and present member of the Odd Fellows' supreme court, is making quite an active and, they say, effective campaign for the grand secretaryship of the order. Mr. Houston is one of the most popular colored men in Washington, liked by every one because of his genial disposition. A friend referring to him the other day remarked that "Bill Houston is a ray of sunshine and a cup of cheer." Most of Washington votes aye on this. Dr. I. N. Ross, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, the largest congregation in this city, is an out and out candidate for a place on the bishopric bench of his church. Reports received in Washington indicate that the eloquent pastor of Metropolitan church has quite a following, and not a few have the temerity to predict that he will be elected a bishop at the next general conference. Prior to coming to Washington Dr. Ross was pastor of Big Bethel at Atlanta, Ga. He has had many charges in many states and has been very successful. As a pulpit orator Dr. Ross has few equals in his church. L. B. Lapsly on Ann Arbor Track Team Lorenzo B. Lapsly, student in dentistry at Ann Arbor university, Michigan, is a full fledged member of the college track team. Lapsly is a native of Portland, Ore., where he graduated from the Ladd grammar school before going to Ann Arbor. He is fond of athletic sports and is considered a valuable acquisition to the athletic fraternity of the university. State Federation of Women's Clubs. The annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs will be held in New York city for two days, beginning on Tuesday, July 2. Prominent clubwomen from many sections of the country are expected to attend, as many of them will be on their vacation and en route to the national association, which meets in Hampton, Va., in August. Political Situation in Arkansas. The colored citizens of Arkansas are organizing to defent the "grandfather clause" which will come up for adoption at the fall elections. In Little Rock the Hon. John E. Bush is giving the matter of organization much personal attention. The scheme of the author of the amendment is to disfranchise the colored voters of the state.

Cleaning Pressing Repairing The Eastern Tailors T. S. ENDO, Prep. ARTISTIC TAILORS 2026 Larimer St., Denver, Colo. Phone Main 7518; Who Held High Official Posts Under Their Respective Governments Under the caption "A Polished Gentleman of Color" a London paper as far back as 1850 had the following interesting item: "We understand that the government has appointed a gentleman of color to the office of British consul at Liberia. This is, we believe, the first instance on record in which a gentleman of color has received a similar appointment from our government. "On the introduction of the new British consul at the foreign office his personal appearance excited no inconsiderable interest. He is a man of superior intelligence and of highly polished exterior." The name of this early Negro diplomat was Hanson. He was a doctor of divinity and a native of Cape Coast Castle. He held the record of being the first Negro appointed a consul to represent a white government abroad. America followed England's example eighteen or twenty years after by sending J. Milton Turner, a simon pure Negro, as United States minister resident and consul general to the republic of Liberia. The appointment was made by President Grant. Mr. Turner was a Missouri, a lawyer and an able orator. This information is verified by the records of the Negro Society For Historical Research. Yonkers, N. Y., of which Mr. John E. Bruce is president. AGBEBI MAKES HIGH MARK. West African Graduate Third In Class of Fifty-seven. Among the successful graduates from the Birmingham university, England, recently was George Debays Agebbi of Lagos, west coast of Africa, nephew of Dr. Majola Agebbi of Lagos, who stood third in a class of fifty-seven, composed of Chinese, Japanese, East Indians, Scotch and English students. Mr. Agebbi will take up civil engineering as a profession. He holds splendid testimonials from his professors, who speak of his accomplishments in the highest terms. Mr. Agebbi is a polished young man and made some strong friendships among his Japanese and Chinese classmates and before settling down to his profession will very probably spend some time in the orient visiting these friends.

Mischievous Agitation With the head of the Denver school system and the head of the state school system giving out interviews that favor the segregation of the races in the public schools, colored citizens are face to face with a condition that must be met. Both these officials are exceeding their duties in agitating a matter of this kind even though they are convinced that it is for the best. They are expected to maintain the highest possible efficiency under the laws as they are and there is no warrant at this time for their gratuitous injection of the color question into public notice. While we kow full well that much legislation must be inaugurated and passed before separate schools can be accomplished, yet their attitude will serve to encourage the persons who are disposed to treat us unjustly in the schools, so that instances of race friction will multiply and the apparent need of segregation will be the more emphasized. It is most unfortunate that they have lent themselves to such a move. We are among those who have been proud of the public school system. We have found satisfaction in its splendid training, but have been prouder of the fact that it has been the melting pot into which all the classes and raves have been-poured to reappear as Americans, alike in their love of country and of humanity. Other schools give as good academic training, but the broad humanitarianism is peculiarly the glory of the public school. Shall this be sacrificed for the problematical advantages of separate schools for the white and black races? We use the word "problematical" advisedly. There is no showing by the friends of segregation that a change would be better for black or for white children. It might please their fancy but it is an open question whether they would be better citizens for being surrounded by artificial conditions in school which do not exist in life. The practical operation of a separate school system for colored children in Colorado would either be at tremendous expense or impose sacrifices on the children which would lessen the benefits they receive. This is so apparent that we are prone to believe that neither Mr. Chadsey or Mrs. Wixson is ignorant of it and their interviews are the more mischievous. ADVANCE IN EDUCATION. New Members of Faculty at Howard University Arouse Interest. Washington.-It is encouraging to note the continued increase of interest in the study of modern languages at Howard university as indicated by the large enrollment in the classes, especially in German. Within three months after Dr. Schmidt took up his work in German there was a marked growth in interest and enthusiasm. This advance has been kept up through the addition to the faculty of Mr. James S. Thomas, who was elected instructor in German at the last meeting of the board. He has fully justified the high estimate placed upon him as scholar and teacher. A German club of over sixty members has been organized, where all the proceedings are carried on in German. While the high water mark in attendance in the School of Theology reached last year has not been wholly maintained, yet the work in this important department shows progress. The accession of Dr. Pezavia O'Connell to the chair of Bible history, church history and Hebrew and Greek Scriptures brings to the work a man of unusual scholarship, vigor of thought and deep religious devotion. Besides the work in theology, Dr. O'Connell has thrown himself with deep interest into the religious work of the university, besides impressing Washington and the outlying cities and towns through his personality and vigorous religious utterances. Alumni Association Broadens Work. It is a truism that the larger life and influence of a real university are not in its buildings or grounds or in its faculty or student body, but in its alumni. One of the discouraging features in the past history of Howard has been in the fact that there has seemed such a slight attachment to the university on the part of the great body of its alumni. It is gratifying, however, to note a decided growth of interest on the part of the alumni. The annual meetings have greatly increased in attendance. The luncheon tendered to the alumni by the board of trustees has been of marked value and greatly appreciated. Within the past few months there ```markdown ``` MISSION RATES: ..... $2.000 ..... 1.000 ..... 500 news sent to subscribers are lost or stolen when due, inform us by postal card indicate of the missing number.

A strong executive board has been formed, a well defined constitution has been prepared and adopted, a secretary has been employed for reaching the last alumnus, an official list of members is being prepared, and plans looking to a great reunion at commencement have been formulated and are being pressed on the attention of the whole alumni body. The gymnasium project, which started out with much hope, but almost wholly declined in interest after the first $1,000 had been raised, has been taken up again with vigor. It is planned to keep up this work until the $10,000 goal is reached. There are eleven city organizations of the alumni, and others are being formed. Dr. Washington's Northern Tour. During the latter part of March and the early part of April Dr. Booker T. Washington will make a tour through the northern part of New York, western Pennsylvania and points in Ohio in the interest of the Tuskegee institute. The object of these tours is to more fully acquaint the public with the work of the school and what the institution is doing for the race in sending out students and graduates fully prepared for leadership and uplift in the various lines of literary and industrial work among the masses.

SEPARATE SCHOOL There appeared an article in the Post of March 8th urging separate schools for colored children. Mrs. Helen Wixson, state superintendent of public instruction, was quoted as an advocate of separate schools. She, perhaps with many others, believes that greater inspiration and opportunity would come to the colored child if taught by one of his or her own race. Mrs. Wixson's opinion upon this subject has not been actuated by prejudice with the hope of segregation, but is a sincere desire to give the colored children of Colorado equal opportunities. I have known Mrs. Wixson for a number of years and have always found her fair and just in considering questions concerning our race, and I know for a certainty that the colored citizens of Colorado never had a better friend elected to the office which she holds, nor one who is more interested in bringing their children to the highest development, and her expressions along this line must not be mis, understood. The morning preceding the afternoon of the Post's article regarding separate schools, I was called over the phone by a Post representative and asked my opinion concerning the schools. I said that I could not give an unbiased opinion because I had had the one opportunity of attending only the mixed schools. That I was not unmindful of the fact that the separate schools brought an educated class to a city. That theey, the schools, were a source of revenue not to be lightly ignored. That they gave our graduates something to do at home, but, on the other hand, and in my judgment, outweighed these considerations, was the belief that the education of the races together gave each a better understanding of the other's need, since all are citizens before the law and must share alike the community responsibilities. Further, that it is out of the question to believe that we would have colored East Denver high, a manual training, a technical, a trade and a Whittier equipped with every modern convenience to pursue educational development. Further, that the colored children were few and far between, thereby working a hardship for the younger children in going to and from long distanced schools. These were some of my opinions expressed to the Post's representative which were not published. There are sincere friends to the race's advancement who believe differently and an intelligent discussion of this question can harm no one. MRS. IDA C. DE PRIEST.

FOREWORD BY ROBERT E. PEARY Noteworthy Achievement of Foremost Explorer of the Race—Authentic Account of Many Dangerous Adventures and Thrilling Scenes—Illustrations From Photographs by the Author. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Among the many spring publications thus far issued Matthew A. Hensen's book, entitled "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole," is considered by literary critics to be the most valuable contribution to the literature of exploration since the appearance of Commander Robert E. Peary's book, "The North Pole." The foreword is written by Commander Peary and the introduction by Booker T. Washington. In the foreword to the book Commander Peary says: "Friends of arctic exploration and discovery with whom I have come in contact and many whom I know only by letter have been greatly interested in the fact of a colored man being an effective member of a serious arctic expedition and going north not once, but numerous times, during a period of over twenty years, in a way that showed that he not only could and did endure all the stress of arctic conditions and work, but that he evidently found pleasure in the work. "Hensen proved his fitness by long and thorough apprenticeship, and his participation in the final victory which M. A. B. MATTHEW A. HENSEN. planted the stars and stripes at the north pole and won for this country the international prize of nearly four centuries is a distinct credit and feather in the cap of his race." Dr. Booker T. Washington in his introductory remarks writes: "One of the first questions which Commander Peary was asked when he returned home from his long, patient and finally successful struggle to reach the pole was how it came about that, besides the four Eskimos. Matt Hensen, a Negro, was the only man to whom was accorded the honor of accompanying him on the final dash to the goal!" The question was suggested, no doubt, by the thought that it was but natural that the positions of greatest responsibility and honor on such an expedition would as a matter of course fall to the white men of the party rather than to a Negro. To this question, however, Commander Peary replied in substance: "Matthew A. Hensen, my Negro assistant, has been with me in one capacity or another since my second trip to Nicaragua in 1887. I have taken him on each and all of my expeditions except the first and also without exception on each of my farthest sledge trips. This position I have given him primarily because of his adaptability and fitness for the work and secondly on account of his loyalty. He is a better dog driver and can handle a sledge better than any man living except some of the best Eskimo hunters themselves." The book is interesting not only because it tells of the extraordinary achievements of a colored man, but the clear and logical manner in which Mr. Hensen relates in detail every important feature of the journey to and from the pole, with side lights on Eskimo life and arctic customs. There are seven illustrations from photographs showing Commander Peary in his arctic funs, Hensen immediately after the journey, Camp Morris K. Jesup at the north pole, taken by the author, and the Roosevelt in winter quarters at Cape Sheridan. Mr. Hensen is without doubt the foremost explorer of the colored race, and the account which he gives in his book of the final conquest of the pole is the only one which will ever be given by a member of the race, for, as he well says, "I went all the way." The book should be in every home for the encouragement and inspiration which it is sure to give to all who may read it and study the methods by which Mr. Hensen made himself useful, honored and respected and, last of all, won for himself world renown. Hawkins Fights For People's Rights. The colored people of Baltimore should give their moral and financial support to Lawyer Ashlee Hawkins in his fight against discrimination on the bay steamboats, says the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. It is a fight for the rights of the people, and he ought to be sustained. It has been demonstrated that we can accomplish something if we go at it in earnest and in the right way. Lawyer Hawkins is not fighting his own battles, but the battle is for the people, and the people should sustain him. Brockton's Successful Business Man. One of the most successful dealers in real estate in Brockton, Mass., is Mr. Watt Terry, who owns a long string of houses and store buildings valued at $400,000.

DENVER, COLO PLESSNER MANAGER Residence Phone York 2079 THE STATESMAN—6 FROM SLAVE BOY TO STATESMAN How Frederick Douglass Rose From Obscurity to Fame. MAN OF PRINGELY VIRTUES Events In the Life of the Great Antislavery Orator Which Fired His Ambition and Made His Teachings Effective—Pleaded Cause of Self and Race Eloquently. Great men are always a part of a great movement. They are called into the world to play an important part in the arena of thought and action. Few of them, however, are blessed with the span of life which enables them to witness the triumphant consummation of their cause, as was the case of Frederick Douglass. But for the birth of Frederick Douglass in Tuckahoe, Md., in 1817, that obscure village in Talbot county would hardly be known. His early surroundings were such as characterized every slave boy who witnessed the inhuman treatment of fellow slaves and heard stories of the capture of their foreparents in Africa. The events in the life of Douglass, his transference to Baltimore, to St. Michael's; his experience with the "slave breaker" Edward Covey and his escape from slavery in 1838, when he assumed the name of "Douglass," partly to hide his identity and partly as a "milestone" in his new life of freedom, are well known. His lectures under the Anti-slavery society at conventions and private gatherings, both in America and Europe; his publication of his newspapers; his "life narrative," "My Bondage and My Freedom;" his "Life and Times," place Frederick Douglass before the American public, and indeed before the world, as one of its effective teachers. Some will deny him the title, saying that he was not a product of the schools; that he kept no school and could not in any sense be called an educator. If by an educator is meant one whose activities are confined to the narrow regimen of the schoolroom Douglass was not an educator, but if we mean by the term one who carries within himself the princely virtues of the great teachers of mankind, who is an inspiration to all men by his words and work, who had knowledge and sympathy, interest, enthusiasm and aptitude for vicariousness, then Frederick Douglass was in every way an educator. He believed in the potentiality of every child born into the world, whether white or black. He believed that God had not bestowed his best endowments upon any single race or nation, and so he wrought for himself and his race to make actual what was potential. Mr. Douglass, like a true educator, was a man of large vision. Where there is no vision the people perish. Brutalized himself by American slavery, he sought to aid in the overthrow of the inquisitous system. When, therefore, the opportunity presented itself he threw himself with enthusiasm into the anti-slavery struggle and lost no opportunity to teach men its horrors and to rouse them to its hatred by his burning words. In England and America he pleaded his own and the cause of his people with weeping words and eloquent tears and became perhaps the mightiest single force in teaching the iniquities of slavery because he had been a part of it. Douglass believed in his selfhood and in his own possibilities, and out of the horrors of slavery he tried to rehabilitate the divine image stamped upon him. He made his good instincts self conscious. He taught lofty notions of personal, social and political life. He was discontented with whatever was on a low plane. He reached the mountain heights because he soared like an eagle that bathes its wings in the noonday sun. No one could see Frederick Douglass, with his head rising "like a snow capped peak" above those about a him, without feeling the influence of his presence. Frederick Douglas was never ashamed of his color. He believed in his black mother, his dark hued wife and attributed much of his success to his contact with them. He believed that he was part of a great race whose development had been retarded by untoward conditions, but who when their chains were once broken and their complete emancipation insured would rise up and demonstrate the divinity with which they were clothed. Douglas, like every true educator, was an honest patriot. He loved his country. When the civil war broke out he offered his two sons to his country's cause, while he himself served it with his eloquence. For these services he was honored For years he was the most famous character in the District of Columbia, serving as United States marshal, later as recorder of deeds and afterward as minister plenipotentiary to Haiti. While in Haiti differences arose between himself and the state department about the methods of acquiring the Mole St. Nicholas, and rather than sacrifice his manhood Douglass cabled his commission to the president and returned in glory to the banks of the Potomac. He may have failed in diplomacy, but he had retained his self respect. BUSY LIFE OF DR. J. D. HERBEN Summary of His Activities as Pastor and Evangelist. KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS Hardworking Minister Who Has Made His Way by Persistence From Obscuity to Prominence—Conducted First Missionary Journey at Eleven Years of Age. Atlantic City, N. J.—J. Douglas Herben, the subject of this sketch, is a native of Greensboro, N. C. He received the rudiments of his early education in the public schools, in which he made rapid progress. He is one of a family of ten children, whose mother died when Douglas was seven years of age. After the death of his mother young Herben went to work at a salary of $3 per month. Having felt the call to the ministry early in life, he began preparation after his conversion at ten years of age. When eleven years of age he started on a preaching tour which took him as far west as Cincinnati, O., where he was baptized in the Ohio river by the Rev. G. W. Wyatt, pastor of the Antioch Baptist church, from which he received his license to preach. This was in March, 1891. He attended the public school in Cincinnati from which he graduated before changing his residence to Pittsburgh, whither he went in 1895. In Pittsburgh Rev. Mr. Herben entered Iron City college, where he took the course in the theology. He is noted as a successful worker in revivals and has conducted successful meetings in the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. church, Ebenezer Baptist, Carron Street Baptist, Good Hope Baptist, Shiloh Baptist, St. Paul Methodist and Brown's A. M. E. chapel in Pittsburgh and M. B. many other churches. He was ordained by the First Baptist church in Frederick, Md., twelve years ago. He has traveled extensively throughout the southwest, doing evangelistic work. During his pastorate of the Zion Baptist church at Harpers Ferry he completed a beautiful church edifice and greatly increased the membership. Rev. Mr. Herben has also pastored successfully in Washington and in Maryfield, Va. At his present charge, the Second Baptist church in this city, he has served seven years with great success to the cause. He has fellowshipped over 1,400 members and erected one of the largest and most beautiful church edifices in the state. Rev. Mr. Herben has the distinction of knowing how to meet difficulties and overcome them. This fact has been thoroughly demonstrated during his pastorate of the Second Baptist church. The people of Atlantic City regard the work of Rev. Mr. Herben very highly. He is amiable, ambitious and sincere and lets no opportunity pass by which he may benefit his people. He is broad minded and liberal in his dealings with all denominations. The high estimation in which Dr. Herben is held by clergymen of note may be judged from the following: Dr. J. Douglas Herben has conducted meetings for me, and I find him to be a preacher of rare ability—W. B. Johnson, LL. D., Pastor of Second Baptist Church, Washington. Few men have greater power in revival services than Dr. J. Douglas Herben of Atlantic City. He is honest with pastor and people—Clarence Parish, Pastor of Galilee Baptist Church Boxborough, Pa. I most highly commend Dr. J Douglas Herben of the Second Baptist church, Atlantic City, to the brotherhood—William A. Creditt, D. D., LL. D., Pastor of Cherry Memorial Baptist Church. Philadelphia; President Downingtown Industrial School and College and President of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention. He is quite an eloquent speaker, and we are proud of him as our son—Greensboro (N. C.) Observer. Dr. J Douglas Herben of Pittsburgh is stirring the northwest of the city at the Vermont Avenue Baptist church. He carries large crowds—Washington Post. Roundtree's Bill Passes Legislature. The bill presented by Dr. I. W. L. Roundtree to the New Jersey legislature asking for an appropriation of $20,000 in aid of the proposed semi-centennial celebration to be held by the colored citizens of the state in 1913 was passed on Monday, March 4, after a third reading.

Fire Insurance Life Insurance Care of Property Houses To Rent Placing First Mort A. B. LAWRENCE JONES, Licensed Embalmer SPORTS AND THE STA By Leon Pryor SPORTS AND THE STAGE THE LORRAINE THEATRE, FIVE POINTS. Say folks, how about the support that you said you would give to any one of our race if you thought that they needed your help in any kind of business? Say, how about the little theatre out on the avenue near Five Points that is being run and conducted by one of our people, and a woman at that? Are you giving your support to the Lorraine theatre, a colored amusement place, the same as a white man gives to his brother or sister? No. I am thinking that the people of Denver as a whole are the most selfish in helping one another than any other place I have heard of. And, dear people, if you will only stop and think, you will soon come to realize that a business cannot live unless it has the support of the people, matters not what it is, and if our people don't patronize one another in business, our business must soon go to the wall, all for the lack of support. And, people, it is true we haven't got a very big theatre for this city, but at present I don't see how a larger house could exist when it is almost an impossibility for a small one to do so. And now there is only one thing that I would advise, and that is to brace up and give a little more support to the place that needs it the most, and then in the future we might be able to see into a larger theatre. But we must crawl before walking. And what the Lorraine theatre needs is help, help, help! IO! BACCHE! IO! BAÇCHE! The campfires of the war, the foyers of the hotels, the lounging rooms of the great social clubs find a worthy rival in the Railroad Men and Walters' club of 2149 Curtis street, where these snowy days the boys are accustomed to assemble and relate their travels and drink the health of each other in the delightful concoctions of the mixologist. The club is the second home with a special niche reserved for Bacchus, the genius who presides over festive hospitality. THE NEGRO DRAMATICALLY Is the Negro up to the standing of the white man? I mean dramatically speaking. That is a question that has been on hand for the past few years, since the Negro has progressed so fast in the theatrical world. Will he in time invade the dramatical field and be as successful as he has been in comedy? Will he be able to get the expression, the feelings, the gestures the same as some of the white dramatic stars? Drama is something that has to be studied more than a day. It is something that has to work within the person himself, or in other words it must be not only inspiring to the actor himself but to the people before whom he is appearing. And it will no doubt be some time before the Negro actor can be perfected up to the standing of the white man. WILLIAMS AND JONES The team of Williams and Jones, fresh from the South, have opened up on the Joel circuit for a run of ten weeks. The act is composed of comedy, song and dance work. The fast Cuban stars baseball team that defeated the world's championship team, the Philadelphia Nationals, it is said will play ball all over the world this season, even playing in countries abroad. DENVER ED MARTIN The old-time heavyweight boxer of this city, Denver Ed Martin, is now playing two roles, one boxing and the other wrestling, and it is said he is doing well in both. And anyone going as far northwest as Seattle, Portland or any part of that country will have much to do in trying to heat Denver Ed. JEFF COMING BACK AGAIN. Oh, my, will wonders never cease, or is it possible that the people are to still live and fall to such dope as one James Jeffries, the late titleholder of the heavyweight class, is lying to hand out after that fatal day, the 4th of July, 1910, when Jack Johnson, the clever Negro, now champion of the world, stepped in and stole the candy in what was called a shame to take the money fight after Jack had won. Why it's awful the way some people think that they can make money on something that is as uncertain as the weather in Denver. In an article lately issued by Jeffries a few days ago, he has said that he will start all over again by first taking on such men as Carl Morris, Jim Smith and other white hopes, and then he will ltry after Palzer, and then once more he will try to win back the crown that he failed to keep from the now noted king of the ring, golden smile Jack A. Johnslin. Will it ever come to pass in the near future that we will see it billed everywhere that Jack and Jim are to meet again. Well, from my candid opinion, Jeff has about as much chance of coming back as the little boy had who tried to kill a dozen birds with one stone. But maybe Jeff figures on lucking out with Jack in case they were to ever meet again. I've been told that good things come only once in life. If that's the case, Jeff in his last fight with Jack got a good beating and I guess if they ever --- AND THE STAGE in Pryor meet again he will get a—well, you know what kind of a mauling I think Jack would give him. So let's tell Jeff to change his brand. FRANK MONTGOMERY AND DIXIE COMPANY. Mr. Frank Montgomery, the man from Indianapolis who started out this season to do the South with his company of Dixie Trotters, is making good his word and meeting with much success throughout the South. The Dixie Trotters are supposed to be the fastest singers and danvers in the country and they are open to meet all comers, white or black, with money to back them. TOPEKA WANTS A COLORED THEATER. Rumors a friend from the biggest city in the world, Topeka, Kans. He tells me that Mr. Nick Childs and a few other prominent Negro business men of that city are strongly figuring on a colored play house. And my friend also tells me that they have got money to work with. So hoop 'er up, Kansas, you have certainly got it on Denver. THE AUTUMN LEAF DANCE A BIG SUCCESS. On last Monday night at Eureka hall there gathered something like 300 people, all in attendance to the now famous Autumn Leaf club dance, and every one had the time of their lives. There were quite a few masked and some were out in their best. The prizes were won by Miss Irene Stewart, Mrs. J. Clifton and Willie Muskogee. The order was A No. 1 and Managers Felix Wells and William Gist wish to thank the public for such loyal attendance and good manners, and hope in the near future to give all of Denver the treat of this year.

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 drummers. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT.
