Remember the Y.M.C.B.Fair, Tuesday & Wednesday State Historian & Natural History Society TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN SECRET SOCIETIES DO GOOD Twenty-Third Year SECRET SOCI WASHINGTON LAUDS WORK OF RACE ORGANIZATIONS Masonic Fraternity Hears Optimistic Address by Noted Educator. In a recent address to the Masonic fraternity in Washington Dr. Booker T. Washington showed, among other things, the good which the race has received from secret organizations and emphasized the wisdom of turning such numerical co-operation to greater advantage along business lines in the future. Of this phase of racial activity Dr. Washington in part said: "Secret orders existing among the Negro race have accomplished much toward its uplift notwithstanding the so called weaknesses of these organizations and referred to in an uncompensatory fashion," said Dr. Washington. "They have an exceptionally strong side, a side that with a little consideration on the part of those who condemn them would receive a proper and sufficient credit. It is largely through the work of the secret organizations of the Negro in connection with his church that the Negro has in a large degree supported and cared for the poor and unfortunate of his own race. "In the southern states there are few Negro beggars, few Negro paupers. The unfortunates are cared for through the secret organization and the church. This in a larger degree is truer of our race than any other race in the same relative stage of civilization in this or any other country. I am glad to take note of the preparations to erect a large and substantial building that will be headquarters for secret organizations and the plans to provide accommodations for business enterprises that are owned and operated by our race. This is most praiseworthy and encouraging. "The erection of this building should command the hearty good will and the generous support of all our people in the District of Columbia. The erection of this building will mean a new era in the business life of the Negro in Washington. In proportion to the number of black people in the District of Columbia and in proportion to the amount of money they handle the race here has not gone into business to the extent that is true of our brethren in the southern states. You have here a Negro population of about 10,000. "There are openings in Washington with your 90,000 black people for 10 architects, 5 banks, 40 drug stores, 50 barber shops, 35 blacksmith shops, 30 booth and shoe stores, 30 shoemakers and repairers, 120 carpenters, contractors and builders, 30 confectionery stores, 40 dentists, 160 dressmaking businesses, 30 dry goods stores, 5 undertaking establishments, 20 florists, 10 furniture dealers, 175 grocery stores, 20 hairdressers, 20 milliners, 60 trained nurses, 70 painters and kalsominers, 10 photographers, 12 physicians, 40 plumbers, 30 real estate dealers, 50 truck gardeners, 50 restaurants and 20 variety stores." Murphy's Effective Leadership. The effective leadership of John H. Murphy, editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, was again demonstrated in the recent protest of the people against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company to have its jim-crow waiting rooms abolished at its terminals in Baltimore. The colored people followed the advice of Mr. Murphy and other prominent men of the race who were also leaders in the fight, and away went the base discrimination. The company has taken down the signs and abolished the separate waiting rooms, as they were wholly unnecessary. NATIONAL DEGENERACY. Lincoln Abhorred Oppression and Despised Hypocrisy. The speech of Abraham Lincoln in 1855 regarding the political situation and the tendency to disregard the rights of human beings to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is strikingly applicable to the condition of affairs in this country at the present time. Mr. Lincoln said: "I am not a Know Nothing—that is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abbors the oppression of the Negroes be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that all men are created equal." "We now practically read it. 'All men are created equal except Negroes.' When the Know Nothings get control it will read, 'All men are created equal except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics.' "When it comes to that I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty-to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy." SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Back again for another year of diligent service to the good people of Denver and Scotts! We are happy to be back in this beautiful city of sunshine. Let us make this the grandest year of them all. Mortgage to be paid off, church renovated, souls saved for the Master's kingdom. The old comforted and the young encouraged. We have nothing but a vision of the grandest unselfish service before us. There will be organized a Five Points Literary society in Scotts in the near future. Look out for the date. All young people of bright minds and high ambitions are invited to take a part. The older people are also urged to be present and serve on the programs. The pastor will have more time to give to the individual work in Denver this year, as this work goes back to the Topeka district. There will be inaugurated a Wallace Academy to help those who are in service or who have been deprived of school privileges. The following branches will be taught: Elementary studies in English, Greek, Latin, French, German, Hebrew, course in elocution and theology. Please send all applications to the pastor, J. N. Wallace. Terms will be very reasonable. We wish to thank Dr. R. A. Randolph and, Dr. B. T. Vincent for the excellent service rendered Scotts during the pastor's absence. The people were well pleased with these eminent divines' sermons. Two splendid audiences greeted the new pastor last Sabbath. Hearty words of welcome were spoken by three of the class leaders. Four persons were fellowshipped into the church and two candidates were baptised. This is a grand start off for the new conference year. Mr. Joseph B. Hastings of Pueblo, Colorado, will study for the ministry. He is a promising young man. The Easter exercise promises to be greater than ever. The choir will render special music. The Sunday school will render its program in the morning. The Junior choir will wear white robes, donated by Mrs. Luella Williams and Mrs. F. D. McPherson. Mrs. E. P. Forney has been very sick, but is improving at this writing. Sunday will be Trustee day. Mr. John F. Thomas, the new chairman of the trustee board, is the right man in the right place. He is asking for a large collection for his department Sunday. The benevolences reported at the conference were $152.00, more than three times the sum reported the year the pastor came to take charge of the church. Can't we go a step higher this year? It makes no difference what a may say in their criticism of a great divine, she has surely not many an unhappy soul happy. After her teachings are followed, it is tain that those she made happy remain so. The things that mothers dreaded to tell their daughters, that fathers dreaded to tell sons, that husbands dreaded to their wives, and wives their bands, about how to get along pantly and enjoy the fruits of the world. Mrs. Mason surely did not plain to all without causing the embarrassment to any. Under the direction of Mrs. B Flippin, the Second Baptist chapel will render the following program Easter: Invocation, Rev. Crutchfield: " The Rev. C. W. Holmes, expistor of Scotts, will leave about the first of the month for his appointment in Ardmore, Okla. He will speak words of farewell Sunday morning. Mrs. Lucy W. Holmes spoke to the Sunday school last Sunday morning. We are loathe to give up this energetic Christian woman. We wish her much success in her new field of endeavor. She will leave the same time her husband leaves. The subject for the Sunday morning discourse will be "The Cricifixon." "Add when there come into a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, they gave Him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall, and when the man danced therof, he would not drink. And they crucified Him." Matt. 27: 33-35. The evening discourse will be "The King and the Country." Strangers are made to feel welcome. It will not be long before our beloved brother J. D. Rice will finish his course at Gammon Theological Seminary. The pastor is requesting friends to send donations to him for an appropriate graduating present. We especially urge the members of Scotts to give liberally. CHEYENNE NEWS. Mrs. C. C. Boyd and son are visiting her mother, Mrs. Nettie Carter, of West Nineteenth street. Mrs. Clara Brown of Denver, who has been visiting Mrs. Clinton, has gone to Laramie to stay indefinitely. Mrs. Eliza Holley of Denver, who has been visiting her daughter in Park Addition, will return to Denver Tuesday. The Woman's Mite Missionary society will hold their regular meeting Friday evening in the A. M. E. church parlor. A very interesting program has been arranged. Mrs. Charles Lucas is indisposed with a severe cold. Mrs. F. W. Burnside has been quite ill with la gripe. Mr. Mathew Hamler, who has been sick for some time, is now very much improved. Mrs. F. R. Clinton is yet suffering very much with asthma. Mrs. Lena Masón, the evangelist, was not in the pulpit Sunday morning, but a very able sermon was preached by Rev. McGinnis. Mrs. Lena Mason, the noted evangelist, who has for 17 days so nobly filled the pulpit of the Allen A. M. E. church, left here Monday for Kansas City, Kansas. She has certainly won for herself a place in the heart of every colored person here that has heard her preach. The way she explains the human side of religion and the humorous manner in which she lectures before she begins the main part of her sermon, is probably what brought to the meetings the large number of people who had never been seen in church here until she came. Her greatest work in saving souls was accomplished during the latter part of the first and the first part of the second week of the revival. This was the time during which she was gaining for the church from five to ten members every night, until she had all the erstwhile Christians back into the church. It was noticed that she did not pay the usual attention to outright sinners that is generally paid to them by most ministers. Her theory is that if all the backsliders be brought again into the church, it will be much easier to persuade sinners to make up their minds to accept the new life. It makes no difference what some may say in their criticism of this great divine, she has surely made many an unhappy soul happy. And if her teachings are followed, it is certain that those she made happy will remain so. The things that many mothers dreaded to tell their daughters, that fathers dreaded to tell their sons, that husbands dreaded to tell their wives, and wives their husbands, about how to get along pleasantly and enjoy the fruits of this world. Mrs. Mason surely did make plain to all without causing the least embarrassment to any. Under the direction of Mrs. Lelia Flippin, the Second Baptist church will render the following program on Easter: Invocation, Rev. Crutchfield; "Hail, Mighty Victor," choir; Scripture Reading, pastor; solo, "Now Christ Is Risen," Mr. Dazelle; "Rise Crowned with Light," choir; Paper, "Easter," J. T. Muse; Quartet, "The Resur- sure," Mesdames J. E. Smith, W. M. Christian, Messrs. Dazelle, Lewis; "The Song of the Eastertide," choir; Paper, "The Origin of Easter," Roscoe Lewis; Song, "Crowned in Radiant Splendor," choir; Song, "Easter Bells, choir; Solo, "The Great White Throne." Mrs. J. E. Smith, Hallelujah Chorus, choir; "Evening Prayer," choir. FORT RUSSELL, WYO. A grand concert was given at Troop 1 yesterday, the 21st. Refreshments were served and 60 people were seated at a time. The great concourse enjoyed themselves immensely. A great boxing contest between King Kelly, 4th field artillery, and Sergt. Smith, 9th Cavalry, is scheduled to take place about the middle of next month. Sergt. Smith, better known as "Dago," was lightweight champion of the Philippine Islands from 1907 to 1909 and is still champion lightweight of the 9th Cavalry. On Tuesday, Color Sergeant Conac was retired, after having served more than thirty years as an enlisted man in the United States army; 26 years, one month and 25 days of his service was straight time. He will reside for a few months in Cheyenne, Wyo. Sergt. Conac has a brother in the navy who also retires from that branch of service this coming June. Sergt. Conac will leave here about the first of June for Norfolk, Va., to meet his brother, whom he has not seen for 26 years. First Sergt. Ward, whose papers have already been sent to Washington, D. C., is expected to retire about the first of April, having served more than thirty years. GLENWOOD SPRINGS. The Mission Circle purchased dishes for the church with the money realized from their "Kentucky oyster" entertainment last week. Mrs. H. Ellis has returned from her trip to Alabama, bringing her daughter and granddaughter with her. The concert given in the Baptist church last Tuesday evening, March 19th, was an overwhelming success. The nature of the program was "The Negro Fifty Years Ago and the Negro of Today." You may know the rest. Notwithstanding the weather was rather inclement the house was crowded. Receipts are close to $40. Rev. Russell, with the officers, paid $50 on the church debt last Thursday morning. The Baptist church has called Rev. Russell as regular pastor. He has more than proven his efficiency as a leader and the church has decided to keep him indefinitely. He has been here about four months and the church work has gone on smoothly and rapidly. They have paid $100.00 with interest on the main debt and have caught up with all small debts. Mrs. H. Ellis is indisposed this week. Mr. T. M. Russell is spending a few days with Mr. L. Walker at his country home. Mr. George Kenney is able to be out again. All are cordially invited to attend the Easter cantata at 8 p. m. Easter, given by the Sabbath school. Collection taken for missions. DENVER PERSONAL MENTION Social News and Personal Mention Continued on Pages Four. Five and Eight A CELEBRATED MAN COMING Dr. James E.

Coyle, D. D., is pastor, also Thursday evening, April 18, at a mass meeting held by the colored citizens of Denver at the People's Tabernacle at Twentieth and Lawrence streets. Dr. Shepard is one of the most eloquent orators of the race and one of the best equipped men engaged in southern education of the present day. His institution is designed to give better training to our ministers and leaders, to furnish social settlement workers for our cities, and Y. M. C. A. secretaries wherever needed. The institution has accumulated $110,000 worth of property and is endorsed by such eminent men as President Taft, Senator W. M. Crane of Massachusetts, Judge J. C. Pritchard, and ex-President Roosevelt, as well as eminent scholars and theologians in various parts of the country. Charles Alexander of Boston, the CHARLES ALEXANDER well known publisher, was in the city Thursday and made these arrange- ments for the coming of Dr. Shepard. Ray Clark is spending some time in the city, having come down from the Black Hills. Arrivals at the Abyssinia: Mrs Ford, F. B. Hughes, C. Cegg, T. Mc Jartary, B. L. Day, J. B.

FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL IENTION Personal Mention on Pages Four. d Eight NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Last Sundap morning the pulpit was filled by the former pastor, Dr. ohn E. Ford, Jacksonville, Fla. A large congregation was present and greatly enjoyed a touching discourse taken from the 51st Psalm, Verse 12, "Restore Unto Me the Joy of Thy Salvation." Dr. Ford also visited two meetings of the Men's Bible Class( which were addressed on timely and interesting topics. Brother Wallace delivered his maiden sermon at the church on last Sunday evening. The effort was greatly enjoyed by all those present and gives evidence of a splendid future in the work of the ministry to which our brother is evidently called. Application will be made to the church at the next meeting for license, after which Brother Wallace hopes to get out into the work. Brother Jackson has been preacning recently at Boulder and Eaton, where he is rendering good service. It will be a hardship on Zion to dispense with his services in the Sunday school and other church work, but such talents as his are too useful to be confined to the work of the church layitp. It will not belong before he, too, will "launch out into the deep." The ladies of the Queen of Sheba Court will observe Palm Sunday at Zion. A special sermon will be delivered by the pastor at the 11 o'clock hour. Everyone is invited. The Sunday school will enjoy its quarterly review Sunday evening at 6:3, the B. Y. P. U. hour. A stereopticon lecture covering the twelve lessons of the past quarter will furnish the interest of the service. No one should miss this opportunity to study this first period of Christ's ministry shown on the canvas. All are welcome. A sacred concert by the choir will follow the lecture at eight o'clock. Those who have attended these services by our magnificent choir will be present with their friends. On April 4th, the cantata, entitled "The Last Seven Words of Jesus," will be rendered at the church. The choir has expended much time and energy preparing for this musical and there os no doubt that their efforts will be fully justified on that evening. Tickets are now on sale at 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children. The Sundap school has planned very elaborate services for Easter Sunday, at which time also the double-up campaign will culminate. The whole of the church is expected to crowd into the Sunday school at that time to show its interest in the little folks. Nothing will so delight the superintendent and teachers as to see the greater part of the parents present. An Easter sermon will be delivered by the pastor at 11 o'clock. BROTHERHOOD CHOOSES HOME. On Monday night at Central church the men of the Y. M. C. B. had a spirited discussion of the different sites offered for their permanent home. Some speakers favored vacant property, some a site at Twenty-sixth and Glenarm, and the majority decided upon the four-lot property at Twenty-fourth and Emerson streets. The executive board will arrange the terms of purchase and as soon as arrangements are perfected, a rally will be arranged so that the real work of the movement may go forward without financial hindrance. How the Wife of Well Known Bishop Uses Her Talent. WOMAN OF BROAD CULTURE. Organizer of the African Redemption Society, School Principal and Life Matron of Women's Missionary Societies of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Wields Helpful Influence. By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. New York.—Among the interesting and notable women of the race who enjoy a national reputation is Mrs. Lelia Walters, the accomplished wife of Bishop Alexander Walters of this city. She is identified with many organizations having for their aim the social and moral betterment of the women of the race. As an organizer of women's clubs and as a leading figure in activities among the women of the race Mrs. Walters has long figured as an interesting woman. She has long been identified with the national life of the country. Mrs. Walters was born and educated in Kentucky and before her marriage was A. B. MRS. LELIA WALTERS. Miss Lelia Brown. She taught school in Louisville, Ky., during her young womanhood for a number of years and made a high record as a teacher. She figured prominently in educational life and development of the city of Louisville. Mrs. Walters was the first principal of the colored school, the new building of which was recently dedicated in Louisville. The building cost $80,000. The school had a humble beginning and was founded by a group of patriotic women of the race who were pioneers in the educational life of the city. Mrs. Walters was called to the principalship of the school as a signal recognition of her broad culture and wide training. As the first principal of the school Mrs. Walters rendered invaluable service and played a conspicuous part in the early history of the school. Her work as its first principal was warmly praised by the board of education and the parents of the pupils. Among the teachers were Miss Jackson, Mrs. Mary Hicks, Mrs. Carrie Anderson, Mrs. Louisa Gibson, Mrs. Cora Roberts and Miss Anna Gibson. The school for the most part was founded by the Zion connection, as the early workers were largely of that church. Mrs. Walters remained as principal of the school for nine years and resigned in 1894 to become the wife of Bishop Walters. Since her marriage she has not ceased her activities in race uplift. She takes a keen interest in the general topics of the day and especially upon matters pertaining to the Zion connection. She has delivered many addresses before large gatherings of women's clubs. As the president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the A. M. E. church she has done much for the advancement of the missionary cause. She is the organizer of the African Redemption society, an organization formed for the purpose of helping the African missions and rendering help to the natives. At a recent meeting of the club at the residence of Mrs. Walters some very vital subjects were discussed as to the best means of helping the African missions. At the session of the Council of the Woman's Missionary Societies in Knoxville, Tenn., Mrs. Walters was made life matron. In this city, where Mrs. Walters resides, she wields wide influence and is an interesting figure in the intellectual life of the city. Her splendid life is an inspiration to the young women of the race. Mrs. Walters' life is full of inspiration and is one dedicated to a life of service and the aiding of her fellow women to a life of usefulness and honor. What Tuskegee Graduates Are Doing. Twenty-three industrial schools have been, directly or indirectly, founded by graduates and former students of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. These schools are employing about 150 teachers, nearly one-half of whom are graduates or former students of Tuskegee. Big Demand For the Services of the Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass. GOVERS LARGE TERRITORY Busy Life of the Man Who Represents the Race In American Baptist Publication Society-Institutions Which He Has Served and Character of His Work. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Raleigh, N. C.-Among the vast number of intelligent, scholarly and well informed students of the Bible without exception the Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass of this city is considered to be one of the foremost. For about twenty years he has been connected with the American Baptist Publication society in the capacity of superintendent of all the work of the society, which is carried on in the interest of Afro-Americans. Dr. Vass has traveled quite extensively over the United States delivering lectures and holding Bible institutes. He has been engaged from time to time by many of the leading churches and institutions of learning to deliver a series of lectures for the benefit of divinity students and other persons who devote their time to missionary work and other vocations of a religious character. Great success has attended his efforts, and many have been the benefits which have accrued from the wealth of information which he has imparted to the seekers after truth One of the most helpful of his northern lectures during the past year was the course of lectures bearing on Old BROOKLYN Testament history, which occupied a week at the Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn last fall, of which the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss is the successful and highly esteemed pastor. Dr. Vass' thorough knowledge of Old Testament Scripture and his native ability to impart it in a plain, straightforward and convincing manner drew large audiences each evening. His blackboard illustrations, maps and charts were the means by which he made lasting impressions upon the minds of his hearers. The result of this course of Bible instruction was that a number of persons decided to pursue a speeled course of study by correspondence. the members of the church and teachers in the Sunday school were aroused as never before to make better preparations for their work as teachers and church officials. Since completing his northern circuit Dr. Vass has filled many engagements at southern schools. His recent lectures which were delivered to the theological students of Shaw university in this city were highly instructive and pleasing. From Shaw university Dr. Vass was invited by Dr. Booker T. Washington to go to the Tuskegee institute in Alabama to lecture to the students of the Phelps Hall Bible Training school, of which the Rev. Dr. A. F. Owens is the dean. From Tuskegee Dr. Vass' next college engagement will probably be at Benedict college, in Columbia, S. C. His services are in great demand. He visits and speaks at a majority of church conferences and conventions which are held annually and at different times throughout the country. Among the subjects discussed in these lectures are how the Bible came to the world, how to build up a strong race, the Jewish commonwealth, the prophets and their work, Christian life and doctrine, the life of Christ and the final triumph of the cross. These lectures cover each about one hour. One is given at each session of an institute. As to how many are given at any one church or institution depends upon how long the institute is to be held. They are given to all classes and are suitable for all conditions, the more ignorant as well as the more intelligent, and are therefore popular because of the simplicity of the language used and the personal interest which the speaker manifests in each individual. Evidence of Willful Disregard For Law. The recent Hillsville (Va.) tragedy is only another evidence of disregard for law on the part of a large element of the so called native Americans. There are few sections of the United States in which lynchings without evidence of guilt on the part of the accused do not occur.

Needs and Future Usefulness Pointed Out by Dr. J. L. Barton. Speaking of the urgent needs of the New York Colored mission, Dr. J. L. Barton, chairman of the board of managers, said recently: The Negro in the north needs industrial training as much as or even more than the Negro in the south. In the north he must compete with the white man, and unless he can do as well or even better he cannot get remunerative employment. In the cities a large majority of the Negroes are hopelessly submerged. Little can be done to increase the efficiency of the older generation, but an earnest effort should be made at once to rescue the boys and girls from the adverse conditions which surround their parents. The first step to this end is to supplement the knowledge gained in the public schools with an industrial training. The New York Colored mission, an institution founded and managed by white people for the moral, social and religious elevation of the Negro, after a careful study of prevailing conditions desires to establish an industrial farm institute. A farm of 405 acres located in Orange county. N. Y., fully equipped with agricultural appliances, has been offered at a maximum price of $50 per acre. Is there not some one with large means and a larger heart who will purchase this farm and help the New York Colored mission to inaugurate this urgently needed work? Contributions may be sent to L. Hollsworth Wood, 2 Wall street. New York, treasurer of the board of managers. Further information will be cheerfully furnished and references of the highest character given as to the standing of the institution to those who may be interested. The success of the Literary and Historical society of the St. James' Presbyterian church in New York the past winter has been most gratifying. The society has ten departments—namely, medical, legal, educational, theological, sociological, journalistic, biographical, musical, political and civic. Much credit is due the Rev. Dr. William R. Lawton, the present pastor, for his uniring efforts in behalf of all departments of the church.

It has used argument and entreaty. We now wish to cite an example of what primaries mean to us, one so near at home, so clear in its effect upon the race's well being, that it should wipe away all indifference to this most necessary act of the citizen. Not many years ago A. M. Stevenson, who is prominent in city and state politics in the Republican party, extended his efforts into the national game, being Colorado's member of the national committee. This committee exercises supervising powers over party primaries all over the country. In the trial of contests which arose in some southern states, like Virginia, it was shown that "lily-white" Republicans actually eliminated the Negro Republican by refusing to permit him to participate in the primary elections held. Mr. Stevenson opposed this elimination. He was a leader in the fight to unseat the delegations of "lily-whites" elected in these primaries. They were unseated. In other words, so far as the Republican party in its national supervision of party methods was concerned, it struck a blow at dischisement. Colorado Negroes who participated in Republican primaries here contributed to this end. Their votes were as powerful as any of equal number in electing him national committeeman. We therefore argue that we are neglectful of a sacred trust which we owe our race, when we voluntarily surrender the oppounity we have to do something for it. Senator Simon Guggenheim is now occupying the place which Mr. Stevenson filled so well that we are grateful to him. Our support of the senator in his fight for this place gives us ground for asking his friendly offices for us. Let the voter who has relinquished any of his rights bear in mind that, insignificant as his single vote is, it is his all, and is immeasurably greater than the vote that is not cast. It appears that we have been too charizable in our opinions of the promoter of the state political combination recently formed. We were slow to believe that a man could invite his friends to form an organization which would in turn endorse him for delegate to the national Republican convention, and then be able to use that endorsement effectively. But we never believed that any man, after professing such faith in race organization, would be the one to set an example of rule or rule when the race, through its real representatives, would express an opinion that he should not be supported in his ambition. In saying this it is not our purpose to force our opinions on our readers as to the motives of M. B. Brooks of Pueblo, despicable as we think they are, and so we shall give the facts and let Colorado think what it will. On March 11, Mr. Brooks was endorsed as delegate to the national convention by a league composed of persons whom he invited. His was the only name presented. On March 26 six colored delegates to the state convention met in Colorado Springs in caucus, Mr. Brooks being one of them, to discuss how best to get representation for colored Republicans. They deemed delegate beyong their reach and refused to endorse Mr. Brooks for that honor by a vote of five to one. When alternate was mentioned, a second candidate appeared, J. W. Jackson of Denver, who received five votes against one which Mr. Brooks cast for himself, having decided in the meanwhile to try for alternate instead of delegate. The caucus then solicited the support of delegations from all over the state for their choice and were given strong assurances of help toward getting their man on the slate. But in the meanwhile Brooks, having no delegates as spokesmen, fell back on his Pueblo co-workers, who raised a great hue and cry about the injustice done him and his superior merit over the caucus nominee. They spent most of Tuesday night and all Wednesday morning telling their tale of woe. Wednesday afternoon when the convention made its selections, the inevitable result was seen in the absence of a colored man from the ticket named. Yet Mr. Brooks is glorying in his ability as a fighter! He thinks he has vindicated his manhood! It is too bad that he did not expend more effort in getting colored men friendly to him into the convention. It is too bad that his self-esteem would not allow him to accept the choice of the majority. It is too bad that he seeks to drag the inevitable RULE OR RUIN! $2.00 1.00 .50 us sent to subscribers are lost or stolen when due, inform us by postal card icate of the missing number.

The services of the past Sunday were an advance on those of the preceding Sunday in point of attendance and interest. At the morning service four infants on children received the sacrament of Holy Baptism, and the service was a fitting reminder to those who had previously received this sacrament of the vows and promises they then made. The sermon by the priest, Father Brown, on "The Sinlessness of Jesus" was appropriately applied to the case of infants in their purity, and the grace received in holy Baptism. In the evening the Very Rev. Dean Hart of St. John's Cathe- THE BIGGEST EA WILL BE THE BIGGEST EASTER FESTIVITY WILL BE THAT OF THE MASONS AT Eureka Hall EASTER MONDAY APRIL 8th, 1912 ADMISSION - 50 CENTS dral gave a splendid exegesis of the text, "Gather Up the Fragments," and also practically applied the subject to present-day needs.

Sermon topics, Sunday, March 31: 11 a. m., "The Democracy of Christ's Kingdom." 4:30 p. m., "Meditation," followed by Lord's Supper. The Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper will be observed in connection with the 5 p. m. service. Candidates for full membership will be confirmed at this service, this being the last for the Presbyterian year. Contract has been signed for the renovation of our auditorium and chapel. Work will begin at once. Both buildings will be wired for electricity. To raise the necessary funds to meet this emergency, the congregation will meet in special session next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock to devise ways and means for a 60 days' financial campaign, beginning after Easter. An augmented vested choir of 30 voices will make their debut at this church Easter Sunday. Appropriate music will be an especial feature on the day's program. The People's choir needs no introduction to the Denver public. Your presence is therefore needed at all the services of the day. The first service will be at 6 a. m., for one hour, at which time the Lord's Supper will be observed. The mid-day service will be of special interest. At 3 p. m. the choir will sing for the Sunshine Mission on Larimer street. The day's program will wind up with the rendition of a cantata, "The World's Children for Jesus." Miss Susie Hall will preside at the organ with the Misses Edith Baker and Allene Gibbs at the piano. In connection with the 11 o'clock service last Sabbath, Mr. W. T. Fields who was snow bound for some days in the state of Kansas, and therefore could not be present when the other elders-elect were ordained, was ordained and installed to the office of elder in the church. The resumption of Elder Fields to his stall in the choir, coupled with the presence of Messrs. W. P. Webster, L. Livingstone and A. Ruth, made things sound rather heavenly-like in the singing at our last services. The blending of the angel-like voices of the ladies transported the audience in imagination to Beauil land. They say that was but the smoke of what will take place Easter Sunday. Installation of teachers and other officers will take place in the Sabbath school tomorrow morning. Beginning Easter Sunday, the school will convene at 9:00 a.m. The following young ladies who are to assist in the Y. M. C.

Three lodges were represented, Damon, Pythias and Progress, and they formed an escort of honor for the ladies of the three courts of Calanthe, Columbine, Rocky Mountain and Progress. The parade was led by the Olympic band. This was the first appearance of the band since last season and its playing and appearance was satisfactory. The services at the church were brief, Rev. Ward preaching the sermon. A paper by Mrs. Lillian Jones, Supreme Deputy of the ladies; a solo by Mrs. Nellie Marshbanks and the usual reading of the proclamation by J. V. Chatman, completed the program. A thank offering was taken and given to charity.

It says: Harry Fiddler and Byron Shelton, in the negro singing and playing team, put the taboo on all that blatant screeching which often goes for a lifelike production of "down South." Their voices have the softness necessary to negro melodies which they offer with variations and in combinations with the modern popular song. Mr. Shelton is a nephew of Mrs. C. W. Buford. L. E. Hood of Muscogee, a real estate dealer, is spending a few days in the city. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH A WORD FROM THE CHOIR. It is a good sign of our times, a sign of our awakening, that we are beginning to consider our singing aside from the choir loft application. Years enough have been spent in defining the place of our choir in our services, in devoting energy towards the lesser questions as to its necessity, tolerance, etc. Even the organization of kickers who did ignore its existence have long since disbanded for want of support. On the other hand, we who compose the organization are more and more turning our attention to the broader application in its relation to our congregation. We realize that if to sing merely to help fill out the services or to have the pleasurable experience of having entertained and pleased were our purpose, our singing would be in vain or services a hindrance. Our real purpose is to create a musical atmosphere in our church, to cultivate the taste for the enjoyment of FREE!

We realize that the bad weather has been a great handicap to the workers, but there are two more Sundays left in which to redeem ourselves. We need just 161 more new scholars to double our enrollment. We can get them if we try. Come yourself and bring somebody. The Agogas have the distinction of being first on the Honor Roll. Who will be next? Rev. J. E. Ford, former pastor, and Mr. Clark, one of our beloved. a high order of music; to eliminate from our services all songs, however good the sentiment, that are not set to music that is light in character, that does not appeal to the highest within us, and therefore might tend towards corruption. Our purpose finally is to help lay the foundation of all the church hopes to realize spiritually, to "awake the harp", so to speak, of our congregation that the songs of the soul of each one may resound to that of ours. If we pause to look about us to see where we are and what we are doing, we will observe first the manner in which the call "to work" has been responded to, how steadily forward we are moving, how general seems the desire to lift—to lift not only those about us but those who sit in the shadow across the sea. Since the keynote of the church is forward, no manner of pessimism shall hold its hand of progress. Breathes there a man in our congregation who cannot feel the mighty current of progress swelling through his being, who does not feel with the poet as he wends his way to service, "And the hour shall be filled with music, With songs and praise and prayer, And the burdens of life are lifted ool Open for One Hour. were among the visitors in our school Sunday. We trust that every member of the Sunday school will be present Sunday evening at 6:30 sharp for the stereo-opticon review of the first quarter's lessons, given by the pastor, with our new double dissolving stereoopticon, the best that can be had. Easter Sunday, April 7th, will be a great day in Zion's Sunday school. The termination of the double-up campaign. The Easter program will be par excellent. An opportunity to give a silver offering for missions. Our Sunday school is an open door for everyone who wishes to study God's word with us, at 9:45 a. m. For all who enter there." Surely never before in the history of the church has a greater effort been put forth to save the young people, to save them from themselves, a great salvation indeed. We realize that there must be unity of thought and effort on our part with that of our leader, to bring about the desired end. It would be unworthy of us as an organization to be indolent and indifferent with conditions such as are facing us. We are deeply interested in our children. We love them; they are always with us, and in them we find the continuity of all human efforts. Why then should we not in childhood consecrate them? We would that every one into whose face we look from time to time might be saved. We shall sing them songs, only beautiful songs, with the hope that the spirit will linger with them through life, not only the beautiful in song but in all things, only, will appeal to them. It is fitting then that occasionally we turn from our regular service and spend the hour in a service of song. Sunday evening will be given to such a service, at which time a classical program will be rendered. --- THE FIVE POINTS HARDWARE CO.

DENVER, COLO PLESSNER MANAGER Residence Phone York 2079 THE STATESMAN—6 Erected on Spot Where Richard Allen Founded Methodism. PASTORED BY MANY NOTABLES Birthplace of Religious Liberty to Be Mecca For Pilgrimage Four Years Hence—Dr. M. W. Thernton to Manage Book Concern—Successful Pastor and Able Leader. Philadelphia.—One of the greatest distinctions in the ministry of the great A. M. E. church is the pastorate of Mother Bethel. Philadelphia. This is the oldest church site in the connection and the first piece of ground purchased by a Negro. Bishop Richard Allen was the builder of the first church, the "blacksmith shop," became its first pastor and the first Negro bishop to be consecrated in the western world. From Bethel's center have radiated the influences, more largely than any other, that have molded a race in character and thought, the wonder of the ages. For 125 years the attention of the race has been directed to this historic spot, where religious liberty and independence were first won by the courage of the illustrious Allen. Since that day history records the remarkable rise of the African M. E. church and its stalwart leaders. Some of the ablest leaders, scholars and preachers have succeeded Allen in the mother church. Jacob Tapisco, William Cornish, Henry Young, William D. Schureman, R. F. Wayman and George C. Whitfield form a list of the able preachers, while Morris Brown, Willis Nazery, J. P. Campbell, C. T. Schaffer, L. J. Coppin and William H. Heard were pastors that attained the bishopric. Some of these pastors have enjoyed the distinction of serving the mother pulpit for the second time, some for two and some for three years, but none has the honor of serving this historic church as long as the present pastor, five successive years, in the person of the Rev. Montrose William Thornton. To his credit the old mother has pushed ahead as never before under his ministry. Great has been the ingath- P. REV. DR. M. W. THORNTON. ering of souls and wonderful the paying of debts, even the canceling of the first mortgage in years. This young man has forged his way to the front in the affairs of the mother conference and district. He is the treasurer of his conference, the highest position of trust of this body, and for the third time has been elected successively a delegate to the general conference. His district has indorsed him for business manager of the publishing house in Philadelphia, and from the many expressions appearing daily he not only enjoys the high esteem of his connection, but will receive a popular election. Dr. Thornton is highly qualified for the office of business manager. He is a business man of experience and success to begin with. He has the happy faculty of ways and means in everything with which he is identified. He has built several churches, parsonages, paid mortgages, built the first Campbell college building at Jackson, Miss., and is the director and secretary of several racial enterprises. The book room is the oldest department of the A. M. E. church. All the church literature is printed by its press; it's the home of the oldest paper, the Christian Recorder; it's the pride of the church in the east. In historic importance it stands next to the mother church itself. The centennial of African Methodism will be celebrated in Philadelphia in 1916, and her children will assemble in this grand old city of liberty, not only to view the sacred site where rest the bones of the illustrious Allen and to review her progress of the past century, but to behold her oldest offspring, the book room, intact and prosperous. To this end the First district has called forth one of her brightest and ablest sons in the person of the Rev. Montrose William Thornton to take charge of this work for the next four years, and its faith is that this young man will prove to the world that the glory of the book department has not departed. DR. W. T. VERNON UP FOR BISHOP Eminently Qualified to Fill Highest Church Office. MAN OF NATIONAL REPUTE. Popular Demand For the Services of the Loyal Churchman and Noted Educator—Subject For Serious Consideration by the A. M. E. Conference, Western University His Monument. So powerful has become the influence for good wrought by the great religious denominations among our people that they are now looked upon as potent agencies that play an important part in promoting the general uplift of the people as well as in the mere building up of strong denominational organizations. More and more as the years go by the annual meetings of the Baptists and the quadrennial meetings of the Methodists are becoming to be occasions of national as well as of denominational significance. The same is true of the other denominations with which the race is identified. One of the great denominational bodies, the African Methodist Episcopal church, convenes in a general conference session in Kansas City, Mo., in May. The eyes of the whole race will be turned upon that great religious body as it shall proceed in the transaction of the large duties that are to be performed. No question that the conference shall undertake will be fraught with greater interest to the African Methodists than the personnel of the men who shall be elevated to the bishops' bench. A number of men have been mentioned who, if selected, would certainly bring honor to the church and reflect credit upon the whole race. Among those names has been mentioned that of Dr. William T. Vernon. From no particular section, but from all sections; from no one source, but from many, does this silent but insistent suggestion of his name come. His admirers all over the country would be pleased to have his name presented to that great body. Dr. Vernon commands a following the possession of which is a compliment to any man. Throughout the country it is known that he is pre-eminently fitted by edu- WILLIAM T. VERNON, LL. D. cation, by training, by experience, by ability and by religious fidelity to fill any position with honor and dignity that the church could confer upon him. That is why his admirers are making this country wide suggestion of his name—this, too, in spite of the fact that he has not announced his candidacy. His rise in the church has been by those stages of development that bespeak for preparedness. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Lincoln institute. He studied at Wilberforce, from whence he received the degree of doctor of divinity and subsequently the degree of doctor of laws. Dr. Vernon's greatest work is as an educator. His greatest masterpiece is the Western university, at Quindaro, Kan. It was Western university that made him a national figure, for the story of how he went there and developed that school from its place of insignificance to one of the greatest schools in African Methodism touched a responsive chord in the hearts of the American people and made him a national figure. Here he went with his splendid Christian wife, who is the daughter of the late Bishop Embry. She has been a great helpmate to him. Side by side they worked for the development of that school, and she has been by his side in the accomplishment of the subsequent work that has come to him. The high positions that he has held in church and state, the excellent contact that he has had with eminent men of all races, his great ability, the fact that he is in the prime of life, able to perform great services for the church and for humanity, the fact that he has made good in the positions to which he has been called, made good as president of Western university, represented his church honorably in high governmental life and the culture and bearing of a true Christian gentleman—these are prominent reasons why his friends throughout the country look with favor on the idea of presenting his name to the general conference for one of the bishoprics of the great African Methodist church.

The Columbine lodge, K. of P., and the Court of Calanthe turned out Sunday at 2:30 p. m. and marched to the St. Paul Baptist church, where the service was held. The program was duly executed, with Rey. J. H Brown, D. D., master of ceremonies The choir of the Baptist church wa= up to the task, for their music was inspiring. Both the lodge and the court were at their best, when it comes to the show. The speaker was Rey. Chas. Henry, pastor of St. Paul Baptist church, who was introduced by the master of ceremonies, ‘The audience for once was carried away. from the depth of the commons, to the high plane of philosophy. The Reverend proved himself to be an or ator of no mean reputation, for he stood as a masterpiece of deep thought and research. The offering taken was the best ever taken in the city by the K. of P.’s. But the best was held in reserve for the last. That was when a few of the boys, brave and true, extended those tables and those good women unveiled the baskets of turkey and chicken in all of the styles, with everything that was good to the taste of all present, and to these we all ‘agreed “it was good to be here.” ‘There were four visitors from Raton, ‘Mr. C. A. Woodard, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Turner and srs. Adams. ‘The revival starts at the A. M. EB church April 15. Let everybody be on time. Rey. R. L. Pope of Denver will run the meeting. Everybody is invited to attend these services. ‘The W. M. M. met at the residence of Mrs, A. Sutton on sigh street Mon- day, 3 p. m. An excellent program was carried out. A paper on «issions by Mrs, W. A. Jordan was a rare treat to all. The A. M. E. church will make a mark at Easter not heretofore made. Just look for a program by a vested choir. Mrs. W. A. Jordan is sparing no pains to make this the beginning of a agreat hereafter. ‘The social at Miss Willie Cross's for the benefit of the A. M. E. church was a grand affair. The Clover Leaf club was enter. tained by Mrs. J. H. Brown at thé parsonage on Thursday from 5 to 6 p.m. The U. B. F. order will be set up on the first of May. NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT. No. 11886.
