AND RU
HAP
CHEYENNE, WYO
There has been little doing in the Cheyenne social world the past few weeks, as Mrs. Lena Mason, the evangelist, held the Cheyenneites spellbound during her three weeks' stay. Since her departure much time has been spent in preparing for the Easter tide, each striving to excel in beautifying their respective places of worship. For no other festive religious day means more to us than the blessed Easter.
The DuBois Literary held its regular meeting on Tuesday night. A goodly number were present and much business of importance was transacted. Mr. Roscoe Lewis, the president, is absent in Denver for an indefinite stay. Therefore it becomes necessary to elect a new president. Mr. Triplet was named and the society at once unanimously elected Mr. Triplet as president. We feel safe to say, with Mr. Triplet in the chair, success is sure.
The merchants of Cheyenne gave a treat to the public on Monday nights at the Capitol theatre. The famous Ninth Cavalry band rendered the most classic and beautiful music. Each number received most hearty applause, and requests were made for many extra numbers. Much commendation is due Professor Wade Hammond, the director.
Rev. Washington of Allen's A. M. E. chapel has recently purchased a torsional parlor. Rev. Washington is always enterprising and thoroughly believes in his race solving its own problem by accumulating property and business of its own. Rev. Washington can be consulted any time at his place of business, where he is compelled to stay much of his time because of his business interest.
It is whispered that one of Cheyenne's most popular young ladies has recently stolen away from her friends and been quietly married. The young man in question has long since expressed himself as being weary of single blessedness.
The Searchlight club held its regular meeting on Thursday last at the home of Mrs. Wm. Redd.
Mr. J. E. Smith has been confined to his home for the past week with a severe cold.
The following is the order of services at Allen's chapel Easter Sunday: Morning services 10:30. At 2:30 the Sunday school will hold their Easter exercises.

Mr. John Jennings, who ran a barber shop here for quite a while, has sold out to Mr. Duncans of Denver, and has gone to Rawlins, Wyo. His many friends of Cheyenne are glad to hear that he is doing a flourishing business in his shop in that city.
Her mother having persuaded her to remain, Mrs. C. C. Boyd has decided to spend a much longer period in Cheyenne than she had contemplated. Mr. Boyd is expected here in the near future.
Mrs. Matthew Hamler, who suddenly took sick about the middle of last week, is now much better, and is again up and doing.
Mrs. Thos. Bell is somewhat indisposed with la gripe.
Mrs. Plum Banks, who has been in for several weeks, is able now to be out.
The Women's Mite Missionary Society met last Friday evening, March 29th. It was fortunate in having such an interesting and instructive program, which was as follows: Instrumental solo, by Mrs. J. A. Baker; select reading, by Miss Minnie Caves; instrumental solo, by Miss Catherine Thistle; Sergeant Vaughn read a very interesting paper on the missionary worker; an interesting paper was read by Mr. Nollie Smith on the "Up-Lift of Our Race"; instrumental solo by Miss Virgie Gaskin; an original poem on Mrs. Lena Mason was read by Mrs. Thomas Bell. Refreshments were served in the church parlor by Mesdames Washington, Baker and Bell. Several new members were taken in.
Fort Russell, Wyo
Chapplain Prioleau fell from his horse while-taking a high jump and sustained severe sprain of his right forearm.
"Rev. Ransom" (?) of Troop A, who got into a little difficulty a few days ago, undoubtedly has taken a "French leave." A search for him was made Sunday, March 31st, but to no avail.
Corporal John Bailey has been promoted sergeant, vice Conac, retired.
Lance Corporal Mays is appointed corporal, vice Bailey, promoted sergeant.
It is the talk here that the Ninth cavalry will go on a practice march in the near future to Fort Riley, Kans., to participate in the maneuvers.
A grand ball was given last Thursday, March 28, by Troop H. The hospitality of the troop was enjoyed by a great number of visitors from the city.

The sermon showed much study and forethought on the part of the deliverer. The choir rendered very beautifully, "Beckoning Hands," in memory of Lieutenant Zimmerman. Fourth field artillery, who died at the post hospital Sunday afternoon. The congregation enjoyed a very well rendered truth, "I Surrender All," by Miss Tyre and Mr. Wilson of the choir. The attendance was very good.
The members of the Ninth cavalry choir are very busy rehearsing a play entitled, "Aunt Dinah's Juilting Party," to be given the first week after Easter. A great treat is promised to all who attend it.
Wednesday evening the host of "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party" were guests of Miss Tyrese at a birthday surprise party, given in honor of Mrs. Coles. A very enjoyable evening was aned by all.
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1912.
School In Durham to Hold Ministers' Conference In July.
FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM.
Institution Founded by Dr. James E. Shepard Affords Opportunity For Pastors and Teachers to Properly Prepare Themselves—Plans For the Summer School.
By GEORGE FRANCIS KING.
Durham, N. C.—Throughout this and other states the ministers of the race are manifesting an appreciable interest in the forthcoming ministers' conference to be held July 6 to 13, inclusive, at the National Religious Training school in this city. This movement was born in the fertile mind of the Rev. Dr. James E. Shepard, the founder of the most essential educational and religious understaking ever inaugurated for the wholesome uplift of the race.
The plans of the conference are so comprehensive and farreaching that not only ministers of the race are sanguine over the needed results that will be gained from such a meeting, but leading white divines in many sections of the country are giving impetus to the effort by substantial encouragement. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, pastor of one of the richest Presbyterian churches in the country, located in Newark, N. J., is an enthusiastic advocate of the' conference. He says that the sociological problems of the race are largely to be solved by the Afro-American preachers.
He has visited this famous institution several times since it opened for the reception of students and has carefully studied conditions. Such a forceful character as Dr. Chapman, who always contends for giving the Negro every right that is guaranteed an American citizen, will again this year give a series of lectures at the summer school and Chautauqua. Dr. Shepard is receiving applications from ministers in many sections of the country and the preachers in the rural district who need such inspiration and instruction as will be derived from such a conference.
The progressive citizens of Durham of both races are preparing to make this meeting one of national import. The institution will entertain during the week of the conference all ministers without cost. Such a concourse of divines, entirely undenominational, deliberating upon questions of vital import to the race and nation will be epochal in character. After a careful investigation it has been found that there are 30,000 Afro-American preachers in this country and that only 3,000 are rightly prepared for the noble work they should accomplish; hence the need of such a conference is apparent. It will be a potent factor in reaching the masses of the race and turning the activities of thousands of them into channels of usefulness.
Beginning July 3, the summer school and Chautauqua of this well known educational and religious Mecca will be crowded with students and teachers and visitors. Dr. Johnson of Xenia, O. the noted Bible student and instructor, says that this effort has an influence and helpfulness analogous to the movements of the white race, and, although as one of its lecturers, he was greatly benefited. The musical features are away above the average. Noted singers and reciters are heard daily. Such lecturers as Professor Kelly Miller, Mr. D. Webster Davis, with his wholesome wit and philosophy, and Professor Douglass:
The program for the summer school and Chautauqua as is now being arranged will be one of the greatest sources of inspiration, educational and with splendid social diversions, that have ever been accorded the race in the south. The splendid achievements of the race along commercial and professional lines in Durham are "native
ideals' for the visitors, so all who w attend the ministers' conference, summer school and Chautauqua will be encouraged by such concrete evidences of racial progress.

CAMPBELL CHAPEL
The services last Sunday were interesting and impressive. At the close of the 11 o'clock sermon, Mrs. Lizzie Holmes, little Jennie Cary and Corine Walker received the sacrament of holy baptism. The music by the junior choir at both the morning and evening services was quite inspiring and was the subject of a number of flattering comments. Mrs. Mayme Jeter never fails to make good with the children. The Allen Christian Endeavor League, under the leadership of Mr. R. H. Willis, is taking on an air of springtime. The meeting last Sabath evening was well attended and enjoyed. Mrs. Wade was present and as usual her talk was edifying and eagerly listened to.
Two church auxiliaries were formed last Wednesday evening in the reception hall, the Willing Workers club, consisting of 12 members, with Mrs. Fannie Johnson president, and the Clover Leaf Circle, comprising 18 members, with Mrs. Estella Smith president.

POLITICAL CHAT IN WASHINGTON
LIST OF MEN IN HIGH OFFICE.
Record of the Nation's Chief Executive Being Inquired Into by Members of the Race In Many Sections of the Country—Made Good When Congress Failed to Provide.
Washington.—Colored people throughout the country have been writing to friends and officials in this city making inquiry as to President Taft's record in so far as it concerns the race generally. Whenever a campaign is approaching the demand for records made in Washington increases. The many requests being received are burdened with the question, "How many colored men has Taft appointed?" and "How many colored men has Taft retained in office?" The average colored man, as the average German, Jew, Irish or whatever race, measures a president's regard and consideration for his race by the amount of*official representation given.
Knowing how much the colored people of the country are interested in the president's record in the way of representation given to the race, a systematic and tedious visit to the various departments and bureaus here discloses many interesting facts. Colored men holding office under this administration are placed under two heads—first, those appointed by President Taft and, secondly, those retained in office by him. Mr. S. L. Williams of Illinois, who holds the position of special assistant district attorney, in charge of naturalization at Chicago, by the refusal of congress to appropriate for such position was, at President Taft's request, appointed assistant United States district attorney at $2,000 per annum. But for the president's action in his case Mr. Williams would have been dropped from the government service.
Made Room For Williams and Lewis.
Mr. William H. Lewis of Massachusetts held a like position at Boston at a salary of $2,500. The failure of congress to appropriate for naturalization attorneys abolished his position; but, as in the case of Mr. Williams, the president caused him to be appointed assistant district attorney at Boston at the same salary formerly received, $2,500. Later, as many are aware, the president appointed Mr. Lewis assistant attorney general at a salary of $5,000 per annum, the highest place in the department of justice to which a member of our race has yet attained. Upon the resignation of John C. Dancy of North Carolina as recorder of deeds Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson was appointed to succeed him at $4,000 per annum.
Mr. Emmett J. Scott of Alabama was appointed one of the three commissioners of Liberia to report upon the internal conditions and needs of that Negro republic. This position, though, while temporary, was one of great honor and requiring a very high order of intelligence, tact and constructive ability, and his selection evidenced the president's confidence in the ability of the race to furnish equipped men for any position.
Upon the resignation of Mr. Lyons as minister to Liberia Dr. W. D. Crumm of South Carolina was appointed to the vacancy at a salary of $5,000 per annum.
Upon the resignation of Mr. Ellis as secretary of the Liberian legation Mr. Richard C. Bundy of Ohio was appointed to succeed him at $2,000 per annum. At the direction of Mr. Taff, Captain W. T. Anderson of Ohio, chapain of the Tenth cavalry, was promoted to the rank of major at a salary of $3,600 per annum. Charles A. Cottrill of Ohio was appointed collector of internal revenue for Hawaii at a maximum salary of $4,000 per annum. Whitefield McKinley of Washington was appointed collector of customs for the District of Columbia at a maximum salary of $5,000 per annum.
Mr. J. M. Alexander of California upon executive order was appointed deputy collector at Los Angeles, Cal.. at $1,600 per annum. This position is under the civil service, and in making the executive order President Taft specifically stated that one of the reasons for making the appointment on executive order was that the colored people of California had not adequate representation in the government service.
Pinchback and Vernon Remembered.
Ex-Governor B. S. Pinchback of Louisiana was appointed to a position in the internal revenue service at New York at a salary of $10 per day and later was covered in on the order of the president under the civil service, making his position permanent and not contingent on administration changes.
Mr. W. T. Vernon of Kansas was appointed at the president's direction supervisor of Indian and Negro schools of Oklahoma. Mr. W. D. Johnson of Kentucky was appointed to a position in the department of agriculture at the direction of the president. Mrs. Booze was appointed postmistress at Mound Bayou, Miss., at $1,800 per annum. The positions to which Messrs. Lewis, Cottrill, McKinley, Alexander, Pinchback, Vernon and Johnson were ap-
pointed are positions not filled before by men of our race, they constituting new places opened to the race by President Taft.
Not only has President Taft dealt generously with the race during the short three years he has been in office in the matter of new appointments, but in the matter of retaining in the service efficient colored officials whom he found in office when he became president. The following list of colored officials retained by him attests to his fixed determination to deal justly with the race in the matter of representation: R. H. Terrell, judge of the municipal court, at $2,500 per annum; James A. Cobb, special district attorney for the District of Columbia; Ralph W. Tyler of Ohio, as auditor for the navy department, at $4,000 per annum; Charles W. Anderson of New York, as internal revenue collector at New York, at $4,500 per annum; Cyrus Field Adams of Illinois, as assistant register of the treasury, at $2,500 per annum; Nathan Alexander of Alabama, as register of the land office at Montgomery, Ala., at $1,500 per annum; General Robert Smalls of South Carolina, as collector of customs at Beaufort, N. C., at $1,200 per annum; Joseph E. Lee of Florida, as collector of internal revenue at Jacksonville, Fla., at $4,500, and Dr. Henry Furniss of Indiana, as minister to Haiti, at $10,000 per annum.
Retained Eight In Consular Service. The eight colored men in the consular service, filling consular positions in foreign countries, were also retained by the president. The salaries of the above enumerated positions, held by colored men under the Taft administration, total $90,000 per annum. Now, in the matter of evincing a deep interest in the progress of the masses of the race and contributing to that progress by encouraging words, attention is called to the fact that in the three years Mr. Taft has been president he has delivered no less than a dozen public addresses urging in strongest language the most varied and the best education for the colored race and demanding that the educational opportunities of the race shall be equal to those enjoyed by the dominant race. Attention has also been called to the fact that when President Taft discovered that the appropriation estimates for the colored schools of Washington were unjustly low and many per cent below that for the whites he wrote the District commissioners that the colored schools must be dealt with equitably in the matter of appropriation, and the result is that this year the estimates for the colored schools are equal to one-third of the total estimates, which is a fair division based upon school population.
POLITICS IN LOUISIANA.
Effective Work of the W. L. Cohen Faction at Primary Election. New Orleans.-The recent primary election in this city was fraught with many exciting incidents. The able and manly contention for their legal manhood rights by the colored citizens was a feature of the battle which will not

soon be forgotten by those acquainted with political methods in this section of the country. The W. L. Cohen faction, known as the "Black and Tans," gave the so called "Lily White" Republicans such a severe jolt that it will no doubt be a long time before they recover from the surprising shock. It was a battle for the free and lawful exercise of the constitutional right of qualified American citizens to the ballot. The use of money had no influence with the colored citizens.
As the time drew nigh for the primary election to be held the Lily White Republicans began to grow restless. When they saw the colored men registering they were convinced that they had a hard fight on their hands. It is said that prominent colored men were invited by the whites to call at headquarters. In the majority of such cases the colored men reported this action to W. L. Cohen before holding any conferences with any one. Mr. Cohen gave them full instructions how to proceed with Lily Whites in order to win out. The Cohen faction was loyal to their leader.
The following well known colored citizens were elected: Hon. W. L. Cohen, J. Madison Vance, Esq., E. J. Le Branche, J. Touchard, W. E. Robinson, Colonel James Lewis, B. V. Baranco, J. W. Cooke and S. W. Green. The man who got the information about the methods used by the Lily Whites to win votes was Mr. John A. Tholmer. He has the whole story and can give it exactly as it is, word for word.

FOREIGN MISSION WORK.
Baptist Board in Louisville Issues Urgent Appeal For Funds.
Louisville, Ky.—Thirty-one years ago the colored Baptists of the United States organized for the purpose of doing foreign mission work in Africa. Two years later six missionaries were sent out by the foreign mission board of the designation. They were the Rev. and Mrs. W. W. Colley, Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Presley, Rev. J. J. Coles and Rev. Hence McKinney.
Although there remains but one of the six original pioneers alive, the work is being vigorously carried on by 130 men and women, who are laboring as pastors and teachers. The extent of their labors may be appreciated when it is taken into consideration that, besides the large work which they are compelled to do among non-Christians, the pastor and teach 14,000 persons who have accepted Christianity.
In order to meet the financial needs of the foreign work the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board in this city, has sent out an urgent appeal to the Baptist churches and Sunday schools

throughout the United States for funds in aid of the missionaries. Every year the board conducts a financial rally at Easter time for the benefit of the foreign mission work of the denomination. Dr. Jordan is a faithful secretary, and the work under his able supervision has steadily grown. He deserves the hearty support and co-operation of the sisterhood of Baptist churches. From 1896 to September, 1911, the board raised $208,691.29 for African missions and acquired land and church and school property to the amount of $28,485 for the denomination.
PUPIL OF THE MASTERS.
Critics Praise Musical Ability of Miss Helen Elise Smith.
By ALBON LEWIS HOLSEY.
In the world of aesthetics genius is creative and art interpretative. Shakespeare was a genius, and he left us Hamlet and a Shylock. Dickens created and bequeathed to the fiction world such characters as Micawber, Uriah Heap and Mr. Pickwick. But it remains for the artist on the stage to interpret these characters and reveal to us the deeper meaning of these authors.
The compositions of Mendelssohn, Beethoven and the other masters are but lines and dots until the artist touches the plano. Then, through a labyrinth of marvelously blended tones and rich melodies, his interpretation and expression lead us on until the
THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WORLD
real soul savings of the master mind behind the dots and lines are disclosed for our joyous appreciation.
The genius, being creative, is sufficient unto himself, but the artist is a happy composition of native ability and superior training. Miss Helen Elise Smith of New York is an artist. As a little child she evinced a remarkable aptitude for music and at eleven was regarded a very promising piano student. When her musical education had got beyond the ordinary instructor she easily passed the very rigid entrance requirements for the Institute of Musical Art of New York and after studying there for seven years graduated with honor.
Sigismund Stojowski, the favorite pupil of Paderewski, was her piano teacher, and her instructors in harmony, theory and composition are recognized authorities in their particular lines. Mr. H. E. Krehbiel, formerly music critic for the New York Tribune, and other well known critics have emphatically expressed their appreciation of her interpretation of difficult compositions.
Aside from her regular students, Miss Smith teaches the piano at the Music Settlement for Colored Children. Miss Smith is modest and more inclined to converse on any subject than her training and ability. However, a glorious future awaits this young woman, so devoted to and proficient in her chosen profession.

THE CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER
—EPISCOPAL.
Twenty-second Avenue and Humboldt
Street—The Rev. Henry B.
Brown, B. D., Priest.
the Confirmation to be held on the
28th of April. If you are still unde-
cided, you had better make up your
mind now. The class meets every
Sunday evening at 6:30, immediately
before the evening service.
The Bishop of the Diocese, the Rt Rev. Charles Olmsted, D. D., made his first visitation to the Church of the Redeemer since the new priest, Father Brown, took charge, on Friday evening last and delivered an excellent and interesting sermon, the "Season of Lent" furnishing a suitable theme. His pleasure at the generally improved condition of the church was tersely voiced by him in these words: "The Church of the Redeemer is now alive." And that statement fully and accurately describes the condition. That is the grateful expression of the hearts of all the members, visitors and friends of the church.
This improved condition is seen in every direction. On entering the church it will be noted that the channel has been recently enlarged to accommodate the choir, thus giving a more dignified and churchly appearance to the building.
The choir, too, has been vested and they made their initial appearance on Sunday last. They will be inducted into office at the beginning of the morning service on Easter day.
The congregation beat the record last Sunday in point of numbers, and the wise ones are already talking about building a new church to accommodate the growing congregation. We shall need it in the near future. Already one of our prominent members has voluntarily and generously promised the first $100 to the building fund. Next, if you please. And so let the good work go on.
Ten persons received the sacrament of Holy Baptism at the impressive service last Sunday morning. There were some delightful surprises among the candidates, and it shows that Lent, the revival season of the church, is bearing fruit. To God be the glory.
The members are acting on the advice of their priest to "come early in order to secure their accustomed seats." They did so to such an extent last Sunday morning that they almost crowded out the Sunday school, which is held in the church. This is not, however, by way of criticism. Come along. That's the way to do it. Come early to church. God cannot be pleased with tardy worshipers. You will need to come very early on Sunday, Easter day, and be ready to join in the first note of the Processional hymn when the vested choir march through the main entrance, up the aisle of the church to their new position in the chancel, with the crucifix leading the way.
The early celebration of the Holy Eucharist will take place at 6 o'clock in the morning. The choir will make their corporate communion at that hour.
The Sunda yschool will meet at 9:45 a.m. m. They will render their Easter day program at 3:30 p.m. m. The children will present their Lenten offering for missions at this service. Choral solemn mass will be celebrated at 11 o'clock, preceded by shortened morning prayer. The sermon subject will be "Christ Our Passover." All the adjuncts to worship that the church directs will be in use.
Choral Evensong and sermon will be held in the evening at a quarter of 8 o'clock. The confirmation class is growing in numbers. Four were added to the list last week. The coming week will be the last to receive candidates for

The Special Easter Day offerings are to defray the cost of the recent improvements, as well as to meet the apportionment for Diocesan and general missions. The amount of your offerings, too, will indicate the extent of your appreciation of your temporal and spiritual blessings. "One Hundred and Fifty" is the mark. Keep it in mind.
Easter day promises to be an "High Day." Have you found the church home you were in search of? Perhaps the Easter Day's service will help you to decide. Don't miss them, then. We are ready to welcome you, together with the twenty who have already been received into the church by Holy Baptism during the past month. The next class is being prepared for Low Sunday, the 14th inst. All are cordially invited and heartily welcomed to these services.

There was a disappointed crowd at Luna Park on Monday when they were greeted with an April Fool sign instead of the skating expected. The disappointment was not due to any fault of Messrs. Hill and Allen, who have conducted the rink there, but they themselves were disappointed also. They were sub-leasers and the main lessee failed to keep his agreement with the Luna Park officials, so that they and their patrons suffered. They make this explanation, regretting the enforced closing of their rink
There has been much comment in Methodist church circles over the proposal set for in the Christian Recorder by Rev. Pope of this city for the abolition of several money-raising plans of the church and combining them all in one budget apportioned to each conference, district and church.

Now he is sound and well and weighs 218 pounds. For many years our family has used this wonderful remedy for coughs and colds with excellent results.' It's quick, safe, reliable and guaranteed. Price 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottle free at all druggists.

SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES
The Rev. C. W. Holmes spoke words of farewell to a very apprehensive congregation last Sunday morning. He left this week for Ardmore Okla., his new field of labor. We wish him much success in this very difficult field. The trustees received a liberal offering in spite of the absence of several of the members of that important board. We must urge strict loyalty to every department of the church. Sunday will be Steward's day and the missionary offering will be asked during the evening service.
The Brotherhood will find a cordial welcome to Scott's when that excellent organization begins its monthly meeting with this church. The pastor has been requested to make the address of the afternoon of the 14th. We especially urge the men of Scott's to be present and all men are urged to come.

THE STATESMAN—6
CANDIDATE FOR THE BISHOPRIC
STANDS IN THE FRONT RANK.
Friends of the Former President of Western University Give Reasons For Urging His Elevation by the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church. Man of Achievements.
BY CHARLES S. HUNTER.
St. Louis. We have reached the period in our racial life when we appreciate the potency of brains; when we recognize the fact that education, training and special adaptability are items to be taken into account when summing up the fitness of men for place or station. We have long demanded that men be so qualified in the mechanic arts, in commercial life and in the professions, but it is only during the last decade that we, as laymen, have been insistent for this type of leadership in the men who are to pastor our churches and have the supervision of our denominational life.
The coming general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church in Kansas City, Mo., next May will mark an epoch in our racial as well as religious life. Questions of vital import will present themselves for our consideration. Men and measures will demand our prayerful thought if our decisions are to be in the line of wisdom. The past ninety-six years have been rich in achievement, wondrous in obstacles surmounted and difficulties overcome, stupendous in numerical growth, in material and educational acquisition and still more marvelous in the type of men who have been the builders in the church of Allen.
But the past is behind us; the future looms big on the horizon of the future. New conditions, graver responsibilities, problems of greater magnitude await us. The laity, becoming conscious of its power, its growing importance is demanding that men whose sympathies have touched and quickened their lives, whose pltery and eloquence and earnestness have won them and whose actual knowledge of their needs has held them be selected for Episcopal honors—no mere political churchman, but one whose work for humanity is the measure of the man.
Such a one is Dr. Frank Jesse Peck of Los Angeles, Cal., son of a prominent minister of the church, the late Dr. Frank Jesse Peck, Sr., of Baltimore, and a graduate of Storer college, successful pastor and church builder, a man who has given almost twenty years of his life to church development and expansion here in the west, and this section, rich in future possibilities for the church of Allen, offers him as its candidate for the highest office in the gift of the church—a bishop—and feel that the east, his birthplace; the south, the field of his earliest labors, together with the west, should unite and work for his success to the end that we many have a resident bishop in this section of the country.
The modern church demands men of action, men who have done things and who can do things. Dr. Peck has served twenty years as a pastor in this western country; was formerly president of Western university, at Quindaro, Kan; built the churches at St. Joseph and Kansas City, Mo.; installed the mammoth pipe organ at Denver, and he has doubled the congregation at his present pastorate. As a pulpitcer, financier and constructive churchman he stands in the front ranks. This is our candidate and we feel that the church will honor itself by his elevation.
BISHOP ALBERT J. JOHNSON.
Some Facts Connected With His Useful and Eventful Life.
It may not be generally known, yet it is a fact, that the polished and able Bishop J. Albert Johnson, who has done such good work in South Africa as missionary bishop of the A. M. E. church, was private secretary to Rev. Josiah Henson, who was the original Uncle Tom of Mrs. Stowe's great novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
The African Methodist Episcopal church does not possess a more eloquent, capable, diplomatic or useful representative than Bishop Johnson. If he were not a great bishop he would be a great and forceful statesman in some one of the West Indian or African colonies.
The bishop is on a visit to the United States and will not return until after the general conference of the A. M. E. church, which will be held in Kansas City, Mo., in May. He is doing wonderful things for African Methodism on the dark continent.
Nature's Answer to Race Question.
The series of articles written by Horace J. Rollin of Troy, O., recently bears the stamp of the philosopher, the humanitarian and the scholar. Nature's answer to man's race question was the general subject of Mr. Rollin's articles, in which he showed that until men are educated to the point where they are willing to accord to ether men the same rights which they wish for themselves nature's answer will remain incomplete.
RISING YOUNG ARTIST.
How Richard Lonsdale Brown Was Put on the Road to Success.
Richard Lousdale Brown, the subject of this sketch, was born in Evansville Ind., Aug. 25, 1892. He graduated from the West Virginia institute, where he studied sign painting. From the time he was a little boy he began to paint, quite without instruction and without the opportunity of seeing good pictures. He had read of the famous pictures in New York, and having saved money for the journey he came to the city in the spring of 1911.
After a few days among the pictures he had come so far to see he secured work at his trade. He had with him a number of water colors of the scenery in which he had been reared. Unsuccessful in his attempt to interest art dealers, he one day carried his sketches to the studio of Mr. George de Forest Brush. Mr. Brush saw their extraordinary originality and beauty and agreed to instruct the young artist. As a protege of the National Association For the Advancement of Col-
[Name]
ored People he was enabled to pursue his studies without interruption.
Through the courtesy of the Ovington Bros.' company, 314 Fifth avenue, New York, his pictures were on exhibition at their galleries from March 18 to 23. The work in this exhibition was painted in West Virginia and some among the hills of New Hampshire under the direction of Mr. Brush. About $800 worth of pictures were sold during the week of the exhibition. Mr. W. Rothenstein says of this young artist, "He has a very precious gift—a vision all his own of nature which has a touching quality of beauty."
The cover design of the Easter number of the Crisis is the work of this young artist. Done in four colors, it required the acme of the printer's art to reproduce it successfully. The cover of the April Crisis is well worth the price of the magazine.
THE WEST INDIAN IN HIS NEW HOME IN AMERICA.
Quick to Take Advantage of Every Opportunity For Self Preservation.
Every West Indian immigrant has a definite purpose in view when he lands in New York, says the Southern Workman. In his own country there were activities which were wholly in the hands of white men, but here he can enter upon these and assume that position of natural leadership which was denied him at home.
His ambition is aroused. A massive race consciousness, the like of which he has never experienced before, binds and consecrates him to the service of his race; the superiority of his early training inspires him with a new and strange sense of power, and with this comes the desire seen among aliens—the strong and steadfast determination to master a new society and civilization for the sake of self preservation.
Seeing that the standard of intellectual requirement in the average colored school is below what would have been exacted of him in his own land, he steadily and vigorously pushes his way to the front and finds little opposition in so doing. He questions everything, taking nothing for granted and never resting until he can see the reason underlying all.
American methods of education seem to leave too little for the mental teeth of the student, the whole diet being predigested. The American student usually makes a better recitation, reciting page after page to the astonishment of the West Indian, but the latter cannot do this, as he has been accustomed to correlate and associate every new fact with an old.
He carries with him only facts which he can incorporate into his mental consciousness for all time. The West Indian student does not care how long he takes so long as he understands every move and step leading to the solution of a problem. Where routine work is concerned the American will very often surpass the West Indian. In initiative the latter is better.
**Figures Show Progress of the Race.**
At the conference recently held under the auspices of the central auxiliary of the Charity Organization society in New York Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols recited many instances and quoted figures which showed that the colored people have greatly advanced in citizenship. The present prejudice against the race seems to be not on account of its inefficiency and ignorance, but rather because of its efficiency and education.

SPORTS AND THE STAGE
By Leon Pryor
TOOTSIE SCOTT JOINS COMPANY.
Good fortune comes to those who wait, sometimes, and Mrs. Tootsie Scott of this city has been fortunate in receiving an engagement with the Resse Brothers and their company of then first-class entertainers. Mrs. Scott opened up with the company last Monday night in New York, and it is hoped that success is ever before her, as she has the making of a good actress with the right training and care.
FOLLIES NOT COMING TO DENVER.
From the latest reports it has been stated that the Follies of 1912 will not be in Denver this season, and therefore the colored people of Denver won't have the pleasure of seeing the famous Negro comedian, Bert Williams, who is starring the company.
LLOYD HALL MAY JOIN EASTERN BALL TEAM.
Mr. Lloyd Hall, the clever catcher, formerly with the Rockies and a catcher in the city league teams, has been corresponding with the managers of the Eastern teams, and they are giving him a lot of consideration, and it is probable that he will leave in the near future to join some of the good Negro teams down East or South.
THE PEKIN THEATER, CHICAGO
Ever since the death of the late Robt. Motts, the Pekin theater of Chicago has been in a tangle and it is rumored that the Pekin will never be the same as in former years—the greatest Negro play house in the world. Not unless it is put in the hands of a good manager at once.
JACK MITCHELL BEATS SMOULDING.
One Kid Mitchell of Philadelphia easily outclassed Al Smoulding and administered a terrific beating to the colored blacksmith of Clayton, last Tuesday night before the New Mexico Athletic Club, knocking the colored boxed out in the third round with a terrific right to the jaw, and a left to the heart, which caused the colored boxer to be out for ten minutes.
JACK CARSON BEATS WILLIAMS.
In a one-sided affair at the Tramway Club the other night, Jack Carson of Denver beat Kid Williams, a Negro boxer from Chicago, in the fifth round.
EDWARD (BUD) THOMAS GOING WEST.
The pride of Denver in the art of wrestling is little Bud Thomas, the clever 135-pound Negro grappler. But the field for Bud is very poor in Denver so he is going to Salt Lake City, where he will try to get matched with some of the clever mat artists of that city, and Bud has all of his friends' best wishes for success and fame.
THE PANTAGES CIRCUIT WANTS
THE NEGRO ACT.
The management of the Pantages vaudeville circuit are now trying to get all of the colored acts they possibly can, as they find the colored performers to be the best drawing card they can produce. So amateurs who are desirous of entering vaudeville will be wise in getting together with themselves as this is a great opportunity.
JACK JOHNSON TO FIGHT.
The big champion, Jack Johnson, has signed articles to fight two men in the near future, one being Al Palzer and the other Joe Jeannette, the big clever Negro boxer who sets a pace for the best in the business, and it is rumored that Jack will clean up something like a cool $20,000 for both fights. Well, there is one thing certain, and that is this, Jack Johnson has proved to the world that he has more good common sense than he has ever been credited with. His money-making powers have been greater than any prizefighter the world has ever known. And on a whole he has as much business and more than any other Negro boxer has ever had. So Jack is not so dense after all.
THE GEORGIA CAMPERS IN NEW YORK.
The ten Georgia Campers company that played in Denver some time ago are at last in New York City, after a run of forty-eight weeks, which has been one long run of success and pleasure. They will rehearse a new act and come out on the Sheat circuit the first of June with an act to excel the one they have just closed with.
THE SHORT STORY ON THE STAGE.
A few years ago the standard vaudeville program was taken up with song and dance artists, jugglers, contortionists, monologists, trained dogs, cats, ponies and performing seals, but nowadays the typical program will contain two or three one-act plays or sketches, that is dramatized short story in dramatic form takes up half or two-thirds of the total time of the performance. Probably the vaudeville managers learned this from moving
---
AND THE STAGE
picture shows, which are admittedly the most significant theatrical development of our times, and consist largely in presenting short stories in pantomime. And I am thinking that in time the Negro performer will stop so much song and dance work and take up with the more artistic, such as one-act plays dramatized.
THE BOOSTERS' DANCING SCHOOL
Say, home folks and strangers, have you been out to the Boosters' Dancing school, at Eureka hall? If not, why not? Don't you know that the crowds go every Friday night? And why, because it is the best dance given in Denver with the Holly Trio as entertainers for the Palm garden and Webster's orchestra for the dancing party all in one.
WANTED—THREE GOOD SONG
STERS.
Owing to the fact that we have no more quartet in Denver on account of a misunderstanding and bust up of the former R. M. A. quartet, I have been asked to organize another one. And a good quartet in this city—I mean a Negro quartette—is very much in demand. So any young man who has a voice and can sing a little tenor, soprano and bass, will please see Leon Pryor at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club as soon as possible. That is if you are interested in quartet work.
Y. M. C. B.'s BASEBALL TEAM.
It has been rumored that the Y, M. C. B.'s have organized a first-class ball team and will be ready in the near future to meet all comers on the diamond. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Club's team will also soon be in readiness for the season and will go out for honors.
BOOSTERS' COSMOPOLITAN BALL AND BANQUET APRIL 12TH.
On the 12th of this month, next Friday night, the club boys of this city have requested the management to arrange for a big public banquet ball, something never before in the history of Denver. There will be a kinds of entertainers in the palm room and first-class service for all, and the admission will be 50 cents per head. The luncheon will be served free and there will also be a beautiful display of palms, and the souvenir program will be well worth having. An dthe famous West Bros will do the catering for this grand afair. And all of Denver is cordially invited to be in attendance, as this will be the one best ball ever given in Denver. So come early to Eureka hall the 12th, if you are looking for pleasure.
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATH
LETIC CLUB.
Notice to the members and gentlemen visitors of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club:
During the next few weeks the board will be busy installing more furniture, more books, more decorations and more pleasure for those that are seeking the best amusements. The Rocky has now become famous as the finest colored club in the world, so why not let's help to keep up the good work? The Rocky is the only place in the city where a gentleman can go and feel at home. There is most everything in this house that the white man's club house has, so why shouldn't we try and hold up a place that is even envied by the white man—the Rocky.
FIDDLER AND SHELTON.
The clever team of Fiddler and Shelton that closed a very successful week at the Orpheum theater last Sunday night, were given the credit of being the cleverest act on the bill and I am sure that they haven't been overrated. The act was one that was classy from start to finish, both Fiddler and Shelton being high-class artists. And during their stay here for the week they were the jolly guests of Mr. Curtis Harris, the undertaker. They are laying off this week in Indianapolis, and there they open up next week in St Paul for a long run of seventeen weeks, closing their engagement off the Orpheum circuit in New York some time in August.
THE PEERLESS TRIO WILL PLAY AND SING AT WEST BROS., EASTER SUNDAY NIGHT.
Nothing too good for you. See the pictures at the Loraine and you see the best; 725 26th avenue.
