FRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN State Historian & Natural History Society Twenty-Third Year DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1912, FIVE CENTS A COPY The Citizens Party howls for "government by the people." Yet its ticket is to be made up by self-appointed dictators. Its platform is equally hypocritical. Just as Lynch Law was Thursday excused at first claiming it was necessary, so they excuse their un-American, beaurocratic presumption, but like Lynch Law, when once endorsed, they will breed injustice. WORLD FAMOUS SINGERS THE WILLIAMS' WORLD FAMOUS JUBILEE SINGERS AGAIN Denver will again be especially favored by the coming of the famous Williams' Jubilee Singers, who will be presented by the Zion Baptist choir, Monday evening, April 29th, at the new church, Twenty-fourth avenue and Ogden street. This remarkable organization is without the peer of any musical company of its kind in this or any other country. During their visit last May they sun ghettoelves into the hearts of the Denver public as no other troupe of musicians has ever done. While last year was their initial appearance before a colored audience in this city, Zion's old building was unable to accommodate more than two-thirds of those who desired to hear these artists sing, and though the seating capacity is more than doubled in the new church, it is expected that this concert will tax it to utmost. In presenting this company to the public the management has made special effort to have a high moral as well as musical standard. The members have been selected from the best Christian homes, and have been trained in some of America's best schools; Rust University of Mississippi, Knoxville College and Fisk University of Tennessee, and Oberlin College of Ohio are represented in this company. The "Williams' Jubilee Singers," organized in the summer of 1904, owes its existence to Chas. P. Williams, who had many and varied experiences in the entertainment field. This company has succeeded from the very first. They began their work in the West, where competition was not so keen, and have had the pleasure of singing in or under the auspices of nearly all the colleges, Y.M. C. A.'s and Normal schools on the Pacific coast. Their personnel has been practically the same throughout their history, and it has become a common saying among applicants that a member must die before there is a vacancy among the "Williams' Jubilee Singers." To years of constant devotion to their life's work in the United States and Canada, they have added a year of travel and study in England, Scotland, Wales, Holland, Belgium, Germany and France. They were eight ten weeks in London, where they gave 130 performances, singing in many of its best-known theaters, among which was the world-famous Coliseum. While in London the entire company was under the instruction of one of the world's greatest vocal teachers—Miss Ira Aldridge, who is a scholar of the London Royal Conservatory of Music, and whose early teacher was the famous Jennie Lind. This experience added to natural talent and former years of faithful application enhances the ability of each individual singer, and has produced in their case a remarkable musical combination. The company is now stronger than ever, and they are glad to be again touring America—their native land. It is certain that few of Denver's colored population, who can avail themselves of this opportunity to hear this premier Jubilee troupe of the world will miss it. Tickets are on sale at the following places: Harry Jones, barber shop, 1024 Nineteenth street; Elite drug store, Twenty-first and Arapahoe streets; West Yps. Cafe, 2741 Welton street; and Knight-Campbell Music Co., 1631 California street. CITY NEWS Miss Stella Halsell was guest of honor at a card party given by Mrs. Josie Williams and Miss Ida B.

The greatest need then is Electric Bitters, the glorious tonic, blood purifier and regulator of stomach, liver and kidneys. Thousands have proved that they wonderfully strengthen the nerves, build up the system and restore to health and good spirits after an attack of grip. If suffering, try them. Only 50 cents. Sold and perfect satisfaction guaranteed by all druggists. WINNERS NAMED In a convention open to all candidates, and after primaries that were open to all factions, the Republican party of this city has nominated a city ticket. The ticket represents the best that could be put up and is one that represents majorities in contests. Dewey C. Bailey is the head and the whole contains several names that are favorably known to colored voters. In the month remaining till election the battle will be fierce, but the men named on this ticket are real Republicans who are willing to be measured by their deeds and by the platform on which they run. The platform itself calls for measures that are practical and possible. It is not a dream nor a hope It is the consensus of Republican wisdom, and is thoroughly characteristic of the past record of usefulness of the party. While the opposition has not yet acted, we predict that this ticket and this platform will be the best offered for popular approval. SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW. Lynch law, with its farcical trials and blood lust, is no more a shame upon civilization and good government than is the unreasonable attacks now being made upon the Supreme court of Colorado because it has construed the law of the state in a manner that seemed to it right, but which does not suit the plans of the leaders of the move for initiative, referendum and recall. The citizen who refuses to be blinded by the fervid cursings which the citizens are heaping upon Republicans and Democrats alike, and who is not deluded by their "I am holier-than-thou" attitude, can see that they seek to amend existing laws, even though they must stoop to illegal methods of accomplishing it. Just as lynchers defended their summary killing of accused persons, so these "reformers" defend their attempts at illegal campaigning. CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. Mr. Boyd, who has been paying his wife and mother a visit, has returned to his work in Colorado Springs. The many friends of Mrs. Oliver are pleased to hear that she had a pleasant stay in Denver and has returned safely. Mr. Speerman, having completed his business arrangements up at Sheridan, is again back in the city. Mrs. James Washington and Miss McLendon are expecting to go to California about the first of May. Mrs. Washington has been in poor health all this winter. We hope that the change will work effectively in the improvement of her health. We also wish Miss McLendon a cheerful stay. Mrs. Vaughn is still somewhat indisposed. Mrs. Henry Morrow is confined with illness at her residence. Mrs. Chas. Lucas is suffering with la gripe. Mrs. W. M. Ashford, who has been suffering for many months with the raeumatism, is reported better. The Women's Mite Missionary Society was very pleasantly entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Brown at Twentieth and Snider streets. After the close of business the following program was enjoyed: A paper on missionary thoughts, by the president, Mrs. M. H. Hamler; a poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, recited by Mr. Blakney, Ninth cavalry; duet, by Mrs. Cordia Mitchell and Miss Beulah Baker, "Lord, Is It It?" solo, by Miss Beulah Baker, "Tell Mother I'll Be There." Delicious freshments were served by Mrs Brown and Miss Minnie Caves. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is to certify that I, J, L. Jones is the organizer of Colorado Jurisdiction for the U. B. F., S. M. T. and Juveniles. Special comment is due on the paper of Mrs. Hamler, because it was strictly in line with missionary work. The paper showed that Mrs. Hamler had the duty of the society deeply at heart. In fact, it was the best and had more real meat in it than any that has been read at a similar gathering Miss Beulah Baker also made a big hit on her beautiful solo, "Tell Mother I'll Be There." Mrs. Cordia Mitchell and Miss Baker would probably have been called back to repeat their solo had it not been so late before the program began. The solo by Miss Smith was highly pleasing, while the poem by Mr. Blakney gave everyone immeasurable felicity. The W. M. M. will hold its next meeting Friday at the home of Mrs. Sergeant Vaughn, on the corner of Twenty-fourth and Reed streets. Let us get out of the habit of laying back to late. Come early and let our measure be longer. Fort Russell, Wyo.—Doings of Troop "A." Private Van Robinson, who has been posing as troop clown for the past few months, now gets every night in. Cye Cambell and the Crow pulled off a very interesting fistic combat in the troop basement on the night after payment. That fellow Cye is game to the core. Old Cye and Lavious have bought themselves a $45 civilian suit each. They say they are going to deal strictly in good society from now on. The Y. B. A. S. Club of the troop gave a grand smoker last Sunday afternoon for the celebration of the entrance of new members. The Pull Back Club also pulled off an amusing society on Saturday night last. One member was fined a dollar for being late. The minutes were read by Mr. Gagland and accepted as favorable to the entire club. A horse owned by Captain Sievert and handled by Corporal Jones, will be raffled o fnext month if all tickets can be sold. These tickets will be on sale at the Cavalry Exchange. "Old Pistol Pete," the noted bronco of the troop, was sent to the N. G. Platoon last week, but as soon as it was found out what class of equine he was, the M. G. P. formally returned to Troop "A," as undesirable. A grand concert and ball was given last week by Troop F. The elaborate refreshments served were simply delicious. The next entertainment will be given at Troop E. Great enjoyment may be expected. Prof. Wade H. Hammond of the band is expecting in the near future to take a trip to Germany to make a further study of music. The entire garrison wish him a pleasant journey. As some of the boys may wish to know why so much is said about Troop "A" this week, the writer will explain by saying that, although all the news of the regiment that can be learned will be written up. Special attention will be given to one troop each week. ALMOST A MIRACLE. One of the most startling changes ever seen in any man, according to W. B. Holsclaw, Clarendon, Tex., was effected years ago in his brother, "He had such a dreadful cough, he writes, that all our family thought he was going into consumption, but he began to use Dr. King's New Discovery, and was completely cured by ten bottles. 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 drummails. DENVER PERSONAL MENTION Social News and Personal Mention Continued on Pages Four. Five and Eight QUEEN CITY CHORUS. This organization of less than a year's standing, is endeavoring to demonstrate to the public, under the direction of Mr. Hewetson-Watson, late of Philadelphia, that there is much of musical talent and ability lying dormant here for lack of public encouragement, support and good leadership, which if taken and skillfully trained would result in lasting benefits to this community. All music lovers and supporters of such worthy objects are invited to attend at Central Baptist church, Twenty-fourth and California streets, Monday, April 22, 8:30 p. m., to listen to the rendition of the choral society, in cantata, "Gethsemane to Calvary." The interpretation to be given this work will impress our patrons with the creative musical qualities of our people, and afford an opportunity to critics to know the real worth of them when trained. Members who have been absent for quite a while are requested to communicate with Miss Jessie Young, secretary, 1229 Race street, as to their continuance of membership, as the register will be revised at the end of month, and absentees will be dropped from list. Applications for membership for the spring and summer seasons will be received by the secretary not later than May 1st. CAMPBELL CHAPEL The Sunday school was graced last Sabbath morning with the presence of a lady from La Junta, who is making a most excellent district superintendent. Her talk was interesting and helpful and her visit brought good cheer. Rev. W. E. Mitchell, assisted by Rev. P. D. Yochum, filled the pulpit at 11 o'clock and preached quite an acceptable sermon. In the afternoon, the pastor, accompanied by his congregation, worshiped at Shorter, and conducted the quarterly meeting, Presiding Elder Owens and Rev. Ward both being out of the city. Mrs. Mayme Jeter, the organist, left for Los Angeles, Cal., last Sunday morning. Her leaving works a considerable hardship on our church, she being one of the most active and devoted worshipers of our communion. We find ourselves fortune in securing Mrs. Mabel Falling as organist. With Mrs. Falling in charge there will be something doing with the Junior choir. The Rose Maiden Drill, under the direction of Mrs. L. A. Tucker, next Tuesday evening, at Campbell, promises to be a social event of more than usual merit. The little folks under Mrs. Tucker never fail to make good. The Handkerchief Bazaar at Campbell is the latest. April 29th is the date. Look out for hand bills. Sunday will be quarterly meeting. Presiding Elder Owens will preach morning and evening. Shorter and Scott will be out in full force in the afternoon, when Rev. Wallace will deliver the Sacramental sermon and Rev. Ward will assist. The public is cordially invited. REGISTRATION IS A PUBLIC DUTY. The most imperative duty of the citizen will depend for its performance upon the manner in which voters register next week. The Statesman is a partisan newspaper and wishes success to be with the Republican party, but as the organ of colored people, it owes them a duty of insisting that they register even though they be disposed to be of a contrary political view. Registration and voting are two acts which the Negro least of all can afford to leave undone. Disfranchisement by law is no worse than voluntary withdrawal from voting. Search out your precinct registration place and see that you and all of your household are properly registered. The law will leave some names on the registration books, but let each one make sure by personal investigation that he is registered and prepared to vote. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Twenty-sixth and Clarkson Sts. The Woman's Home Missionary Society will render a program May 2nd, "Aunt Jerusha's Quilting Party." Plenty of fun for those who come.

Godman. WELL QUALIFIED ATTORNEY. Progressive Colored Citizens Tire of Stereotyped Pre-election Promises. Make Strong Demand For Square Deal From Political Leaders—Confidence In T. S. Hogan. The colored people of Ohio, always in the front rank of progressive achievement, will set a new example this year for other commonwealths by a specific act of forsighted political sagacity. The situation came about in this way: For a number of years the active colored Republicans have made an effort to impress on the minds of the state officials the importance of giving some intelligent colored men of the state a position above the ordinary messenger or porter's job, which has been their portion for "loyalty to the cause and for services rendered." The usual stereotyped promises were made by candidates, and the glad hand and fetching smile were given until they were elected. Then the victorious patriots would suddenly and sullenly forget what had transpired prior to the first Tuesday in November. But they would again become affected with the same awakening and willingness about election time, and the faithful Ohio colored voters would march to the polls and "put the cross under the eagle." Nearly two years ago there was elected to the office of attorney general in Ohio Timothy S. Hogan, a Democrat, by nationality Irish and religion Catholic. Surely there is a combination from which the average colored citizen would expect little. But here Hogan fooled them. Having been a man who built his way from the bottom round and with a keen appreciation of Scott's "A man's a man for a' JOHN H. HARRIS HON. LEBROY H. GODMAN. that," Mr. Hogan set about to surround himself with capable assistants. He is the legal adviser of a great state of over 4,000,000, and he must have efficiency above all else. He was elected on a partisan platform, but he is the attorney general of all the people. So Mr. Hogan thought to himself after he had settled into the routine of his official duties that inasmuch as the colored people form a considerable portion of the Ohio population they should have representation in his office. He said if Ohio could furnish him the right man he would appoint the man as one of his assistants. Well, after the Ohioans had rubbed their eyes and saw that they were not dreaming and that Mr. Hogan was not joking Attorney Leroy H. Godman was selected and was forthwith appointed by Mr. Hogan as special counsel at a salary of $1,800 per year as a starter, the first time a colored man ever held such an office in the state of Ohio. Mr. Godman is a graduate of Ohio State university and Howard university law school and served for two years with Judge Sater, federal judge. He is making good. So on the theory that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," the colored people of Ohio are going to vote to retain Attorney General T. S. Hogan. Mr. Hogan took the "initiative." The colored people will respond on the "referendum." and the "recall" will get its chance in the other candidates getting their just dues for the shortcomings of their predecessors. Plans For Sunday School Convention. The New England Baptist Sunday school convention will hold its next annual meeting in the Sunday school of the Monumental Baptist church in West Philadelphia. Pa. for two days, beginning on Tuesday, June 11. Each school or Young People's union is entitled to two delegates. The general officers of the convention are bustly engaged with important matters pertaining to the program and other features for the entertainment and instruction of delegates. One of the extra features will be a visit to the Downingtown Agricultural and Industrial school at Downingtown, Pa. MAN OF WIDE INFLUENCE. Work of the Rev. Dr. W. R. Palmer as Minister and Educator. Newark, N. J.-One of the most influential as well as scholarly pastors in the M. E. connection is the Rev. Dr. W. R. Palmer, pastor of the St. John M. E. church in this city. During his pastorate he has made a notable record, and the church has had a steady growth. It is one of the strongest churches in the M. E. connection in the east. Dr. Palmer has been pastor of the St. John church for the past two years. He is a former pastor of this church, and after his removal to another charge there was a unanimous request for his return. The St. John M. E. church wields wide influence in the spiritual life of the city. It is located in a central section of the city, in close proximity to the various car lines. The church is well organized and has a membership of about 300. The church is conducted along the institutional plan, and its broad policy has done much for the development of the moral and spiritual life of the community. During Dr. Palmer's pastorate in the city, off and on for the past twenty years, he has been an active worker in many good movements for uplift among our people. He is a man of scholarly attainments and a preacher of considerable force and eloquence. He was born in Charleston, S. C., and educated in the public schools of his native city. He then entered Avery Normal institute in Charleston and later went to Howard university, from which institution he graduated. He took his theological training at Drew seminary, in Madison, N. J., and graduated in 1889. He began his pastorate at the Centenary M. E. church, in Charleston, where he remained four years. He then went to Emanuel church in Sumter, S. C., where he remained two years, making a great record. Besides Dr. Palmer's wide ministerial career, he has figured notably in educational work. For three years he was professor of Greek literature at Claflin university, in Orangeburg, S. C. He also held the chair of pedagogy at the state college in South Carolina, was president of Mission City college in Birmingham, Ala., and for two years was adjunct professor of Greek and history at Howard university. As an educator Dr. Palmer stood in the forefront and was well known in educational circles. This long experience in educational work gives him an unusual preparation for his ministerial duties. PROGRESSIVE LAW SCHOOL AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY. This Department May Be Moved From Its Present Site. Such careless misstatements as to the School of Law of Howard university, in Washington, have been circulated as the result of an article recently printed in a Washington paper from a young attorney who might easily have had access to the facts that the following statements giving the true situation have been sent forth from the offices of the university. First. - No definite steps whatever have been taken looking to the removal of the School of Law from its present site. A committee of the board of trustees has merely been appointed to inquire into the feasibility of the removal of the school to the campus and to report its findings to the board. The appointment of the committee is based on the fact that the school has now grown to such proportions that its present facilities are utterly inadequate to the future enlarged growth that is confidently expected. Any plan for removal would contemplate the sale of the present valuable site and the erection of the most eligible site available on the campus of a modern, up to date building, with large assembly room and lecture halls, greatly enlarged library space to meet the needs of the growing library and other needed facilities. The new $300,000 law school at Columbia, as well as the new building at Harvard, is located on the campus of the institution. This would bring students into the atmosphere of university life, giving them the facilities of the Carnegie library, access to college classes, etc. This is the modern tendency. However, all parties interested will have a hearing before any recommendation even is made to the board. This is not likely to be made before 1913, as no offer has been received for the present building. Second.-The present administration has greatly enlarged the facilities of the school. At much cost an additional large lecture room occupying the second floor has been fitted up, thus relieving the library room from law classes. About $2,000 or more in cash has been expended in law books during the last five or six years. An assistant librarian has been appointed in order to render the library available for students throughout the entire day and evening. Third.-The standards of entrance have been raised to include a four years' high school course or its equivalent. thus elevating the character of the school and giving new dignity and strength to the graduates from this department of the university. Even under the advanced standards the attendance now surpasses all previous records, and the quality of the student body has been elevated. Competent judges of the recent public moot court held in the university chapel state that the conduct of the case, in legal skill and knowledge of the law displayed, surpassed the record of previous years.

"Recall" is Blood Kin to Judge Lynch Having long been the victims of ex parte judgment, through the operation of lynch law, the Negro is aware by first hand knowledge that the voice of the people is not the voice of God. All the denunciation of conditions as they are under representative government cannot make us believe that there is absolute justice in popular majorities. Therefore The Statesman wishes colored voters, whatever may be their opinions on candidates, to consider well the iniquitous operation of popular will where they are concerned, before they give their support to initiative, referendum and recall, the three pet schemes of the Citizens' party to get power into the hands of the people without the checks which now prevail. Their argument against officers and judges, accusing them of being subject to corporations, may have some foundation in fact, but the scattered homes, the lost property and the terrorized thousands of our people all over this country, attest the absolute mercilessness and friendish persecution to which we are subjected when courts are set aside by lynch law and popular will rules. Recall is a blood brother to Judge Lynch and would not lessen the viciousness of unchecked popular government in our case. We refuse to consider this question except from the standpoint of the colored voter. It will be time enough to consider its effect in general when this nation is willing to consider us without placing restrictions on us because of our color. We cannot vote on a theoretical proposition. Our vote is our one best weapon of protection, and we cannot afford to place popular rule above courts and precedents with Baltimore already setting the example of taking from us property rights as have been taken our political rights. If the candidates of the Citizens' party or Democratic party, or even "progressive" Republicans stand for these three destroyers of established conditions, it is none the less our best course to build higher the dike that shields us from the rage of popular proscription, rather than voluntarily expose ourselves.

LAWYER W. B. TOWNSEND WINS AN IMPORTANT CASE FOR THE PRINCE HALL GRAND CHAPTER OF THE EASTERN STAR. There has occurred this week the settlement of a case which is of great interest to members of societies having endowment features. It is a signal victory for Lawyer W. B. Townsend, one which stamps him as a success in civil practice as great or greater than he has been in criminal practice, a class of work to which he has given most of his long service at the bar. This case is one of several which Mr. Townsend has had in recent months, and in each of them he has been victorious. He seems to be making insurance, examination of tiles, and general civil practice his forte, a class of business which is growing rapidly because of the increasing commercial importance of the race and for which few of its lawyers have adequate training. With him trained and capable to undertake this class of law practice, the need of resorting to lawyers of the other race for this class of work, is gone. We are glad to report his success and gladder still that his proven worth means the opening of a new field of endeavor hitherto unsual in the race. It will be remembered that Mrs. Rebecca Mosby was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, No. 15, of this city. The order, by its by-laws, gives to each member the right to name someone who will be her beneficiary to receive the sum of $100 at the death of a member. Mrs. Mosby, in her lifetime named her husband, but Mr. Mosby died before Mrs. Mosby and she did not name any other person to take the $100. After the death of Mrs. Mosby her brother, J. D. Anderson, sued the Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Kansas and the branch order of Eastern Star of this city to recover the money claiming the same as sole heir. The case was twice tried, once in justice court and Lawyer Townsend won. It was apaled to the county court and was tried on the 11th, the court rendered his decision Thursday in favor of the Order of the Eastern Star and against J. D. Anderson. The following is the judgment, which we give in full, that all may understand the law: In case a member of a beneficial society fails to designate a beneficiary the benefits are to be distributed in the manner prescribed by the laws of the society or the certificate of membership. In the absence of any provision in such a case, the society is liable to no one. It amounts to a failure to designate a beneficiary within these rules . . . where the member revokes a previous designation without making another. Beneficiary has no vested rights—only an expectancy. If on the death of the beneficiary in the lifetime of the member, the latter falls to designate a new beneficiary, the fund becoming payable on the member's death reverts to the society, in the absence of anything to the contrary in the rules of the society or the contract of insurance, and ARE IN NO SENSE ASSETS OF THE ESTATE: FURTHEREST POWER IS FOR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE TO COLLECT AND PAY TO THOSE ENTITLED; I. E., SOCIETY MAY PLEAD IN BAR PAYMENT TO ADMINISTRATOR OR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE. Reasoning may be thus: That the society provided how beneficiary may be designated or changed, and if the rules are not complied with society is not bound as trustee to hold moneys for anyone, either for a reasonable time or for any time.

For this reason, it is the part of wisdom for the legislature to supply any defect in the by-laws of the society, but it is not for the courts to do so. Where a certificate issues containing therein some definite promise to pay a certain sum upon conditions certain the certificate will, of course, govern. But this case rests entirely upon the by-laws of the society, and falls clearly within the rule laid down above. This contingency may have influenced society in making rate of premium. I give judgment for the defendant society. H. S. CLASS, Acting Judge County Court. FIFTY YEARS IN DENVER: On Thursday afternoon a large crowd assembled at Zion church to pay the last tribute of respect to one of Denver's pioneer citizens, Moses Thrashley, who passed away Sunday morning after alling several months with the diseases common to old age. He was 68 years of age, and for 45 years a member of Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons of which he was a charter member. They were in charge of the funeral. Rev. Over paid a touching tribute to the deceased. He is one of the men of the older generation who bore his years easily until very recently, and his death will surprise many. A widow and five daughters make this their home, the single ones and mother continuing to occupy the family home on Downing avenue. Mr. Trashley was a member of Zion and a man well beloved by friends of long accumulation. More than a hundred persons stood during the service coming in after seating accommodations were exhausted. Rev. Reynolds spoke briefly in eulogy of the diseased and Mrs. Jones sang a most touching solo, after which hardly an eye was dry. The interment was at Riverside. On Tuesday afternoon from the family residence, there occurred the funeral of Mrs. Cora Joseph, amid the tears of friends and the profound grief of her children. Rev. Hazell said the last words over her before the remains were taken to Riverside where they repose in the vault awaiting arrangements by which she and her beloved and distinguished husband will be laid side by side in a lot, such being now impossible as he is buried in the G. A. R. plot. Flowers burdened the casket, the gift of many, several designs being among them. Her son Sumner, came from Detroit, and her daughter Carrie from Kansas City. The saddest part of the funeral was that she was just preparing to share her home with her daughter. Mrs. Johnson, who herself was bereft of her husband only a few weeks ago. But in the midst of life we are in death. Stricken Friday morning, she died in a few brief moments. She was 64 years of age, a strong character, an earnest Christian woman, and the mother of many fine children, whose usefulness will go a living testimonial to her worth. The Douglass Undertaking Company performed both obsequies, the former being by funeral car and the latter by carriages. Curtis Harris, its funeral director was in charge of both. Frank Rogers, who has long been connected with the company is receiving marked praise for the embalming. The care and finish with which his work is done adds largely to the praise which the Douglass Company is receiving for its funerals.

Shepard went to Cheyenne yesterday after having delivered two addresses in this city. On Wednesday night he spoke to a good number at Central Presbyterian church and on Thursday night a small crowd heard him at the People's Presbyterian church. Briefly summarized, he undertakes in his religious training school to supplement industrial and literary training with religious training so that the students will desire to do their best for others and themselves. He speaks rapidly and with earnestness. His logic is good and his cause, which received its initial impetus this trip will grow and wax strong should he ever return. He is en route to Cheyenne.

To let the Easter services of the People's Presbyterian church pass in to history without comment would be an injustice to the church itself and to the people at large. That the services were far above the ordinary no one present could deny, and the absentees doubtless know their great loss by now. The services were characterized by splendid decorum, an extraordinary display of intelligence and enthusiasm demonstrated by pulpit, choir and pew allike. We want to thank the appreciative public for their keen support, for all of the services were very well attended by Denver's best. Although the first service was as early as 6 a. m., it was well attended and the spacious auditorium was far the Prices on Millinery we do a wholesale business.

The services at this hour were very impressive and the solemnity of the occasion brought the tears to many an eye. The minister and choir were at their best and every one had a glorious opportunity to get into the spirit of the day in order to appreciate in full the greater things which were to come. And now we advance to the greatest service of the day at 11 a. m. It was as if God had opened the windows and doors of heaven and poured down showers of blessing upon the People's church. The minister preached as he never preached before, supported by a faultless choir and backed up by a sincerely worshipping and large congregation. The spirit of God was made manifest throughout the entire service. We fell that if the People's church has ever appealed to the citizens and people of Denver, that last Sunday was the time. Intelligence and dignity of service must win and rule in a civilized community, and already the People's church is recognized by the majority as a great power for good. The procession and recession of the vested choir was quite a feature and the choir must be complimented on its perfection of action in this respect, as well as for the excellent rendition of the specially prepared Easter music. "Christ Our Passover" was extremely well rendered, especially when we take into consideration the difficulty of the composition. We sincerely appreciated the vocal solo. "Let Joyous Peace Reign Everywhere," so sweetly and beautifully sung by Mrs. Pearl Rose. Let us dwell for a few minutes upon the masterful sermon so forcibly and conscientiously preached by the Rt. Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B. We all remember the minister's well chosen subject, "Dawn of the Christian Era." The sermon was very pointed, full of facts and very practical. The minister pointed out the fact that all gospels concerning the resurrection are essentially the same, the only difference being that each man wrote according to his respective mission in life. He also pointed out the fact that Christ is arising from the grave gained a decisive victory over hell and death. Again he said that after the resurrection man realized his duty to man, and a day was set aside for the worship of God, the first day of the week being changed from the seventh. He concluded with the strong point that this era brought out, first the Christianity of Christ, secondly, the heorism of woman, and he further remarked that as an ultimate result of this truth, the women of China are izens of the new Chinese republic. even clamoring for their rights as cit- At 3 p. m. the choir did itself full justice at the Sunshine Mission (white), where it creditably furnished several musical numbers. At this service Rev. Hazell offered an eloquent prayer. The second division of the choir rendered "The World Children for Jesus" at 5 p. m. The cantata was excellent in every feature and the children far excelled our lofty expecta- tions of them. Much praise must be given the faithful trainers of these children. The service was very well attended. By urgent special request, the 11 o'clock program will be repeated Sunday, April 14th, at 11 a. m., with some moderation. This will give those who found it impossible to be with us last Sunday, an opportunity to see and to hear the Easter program in part. There is a great awkening along the social side of the church activities. There has been recently organized a dramatic club, with Mr. Percival W. Webster as temporary chairman and Miss Arula Cole as temporary secretary. The club hopes to produce something worthy of note in the near future. A literary club is already on foot, and its influence will soon be felt. The Sunday school is progressing nicely under the leadership of Elder W. T. Fields and his associate teachers. A Men's Bible class is soon to be organized in the school. Come out, men. THE STATESMAN----6 Now that the church is undertaking the gigantic obligation of repairing the present building, both within and without, it is highly necessary that every member and friend shall do his or her utmost in assisting in the work and taking a fair size of the obligation. Let me urge every member and friend to do his or her full duty in this respect. We want to congratulate Miss E. Baker at the piano and Miss S. Hall at the organ for their faultless work as accompanists throughout the Easter services. They are excellent plus. The church reporter is desirous of adding to his press staff Mrs. Pearl Rose and Miss Welhelmina Boykin in the near future. PERCIVAL W. WEBSTER, Church Reporter. 20.

Washington. — A measuré ot far reaching consequences to the future of material aid to public education is em- bodied in senate bill No. 8, mow wait- ing action on the calender of the United States senate. The pill was introduced by Senator Carroll S. Page of Vermont and fs entitled “A bill to co-operate with the states In encour- aging instruction in agriculture, the trades and industries and home eco- nomies in secondary schools, in main- taining instruction in these vocational subjects in state normal schools, in maintaining extension departments in |state colleges of agriculture and me- chanle arts and to appropriate money and regulate its expenditure.” As orig: Inally drawn by Senator Page, the bill contains the following provision Section 3. ‘That in states where separate schools and departments of gchoo!s and Colleges aro maintained for the colored race the allotment of money for the »ncour- agement of instruction in the aforesaid Vocations shall be {i proportion to the population of the two races reapect ively, ind whether the districts for agricultural Secondary schools for the two races are coterminous oF not coterminous their to- tal number shall be determined vy the number of districts permissible under this act. ‘The bill as reported from the com- mittee on agriculture and forestry does not contain this provision ‘The provision which directs that an equl- table portion of the moneys appropriat- ed shall go to the colored: schools was stricken out ut the suggestion of Senators Hoke Smith of Georgia, El- lison Smith of South Carolina and John L. Bankhead of Alabama. It fs of the greatest importance that this provi sion be reinserted in the bill before it passes the senate. - The state schools of the bigher grade for Negroes in the states represented by the senators objecting to section 3 of the Page bill get practieally no sup- port from these states. but are being supported out of the Morrill fund from the United States, and even this is not equitably distributed. In proofiof this statement the fgllowing figures, taken from the annual report of the experi ment stations for the year 1909, are elted in relation to state schools for Negroes and whites in Alabama, Geor- | gia and South Carolina, the three states | whose senators object to the distribu. tion of public funds “in proportion to | the population of the two races.” ‘The state school for whites in Alnbama has permanent funds and equipment val- ued at $758,470; the school for Negroes at $132,652. ‘The state school for whites in Geor- gia has yaluex of the same kind amounting to $1,280,886, the school for Negroes $58,649. ‘The state school for whites in South Carolina has funds and equipment valued at $1.185,581, the school for Negroes $254,550. The Negroes of Georgia are 46 per cent of the population: Georgia received from the treasury of the United States fu ald of colleges of agriculture and me- chanic arts $35,000 In 190. ‘The Ne- groes’ share of the money. if distrib- nied “in proportion (o the poputation of the two races.” would have been $16,100, What he receives Iu lien of the land seript fund of 1862 1s $800. In Geor gia. therefore, in 1909 the Negro shold have received of funds of uation source $24,100, He actually received but $19,666. Georgia maintains eleven congressional industrial high schools for white people at public expense, but not one for colored people. The United States government spent $11,000 for agricultural experiment stations fg Georgia In 1909. Practically none of i wis expended in the interest of colored neople. ‘There are in Georgia seventy- two federal agents stimulating agrieul- tural interests among the white farm: ers and only two among Negro farm- ‘These facts and figures tell thelr own story. From them it can readily be xecn that section 3 is a very important provision of Senator Page's bill for the Negro and ought to he relnserted when the bill comes up for consideration on the floor of the senate.

AFRICA HIS FUTURE FIELD. Rev. T. A. Smythe Chooses West Coast For Mission Work. Pontiac, Mich.—The Rev. T. A. Smythe, D. D., the subject of this brief sketch, was born in Jamaica, British West Indies, in 1868. He came to the United States about twenty years ago and completed his education at Bos- ton university. He later took a special course at McGill university in Canada. Dr, Smythe has a splendid working knowledge of French and Spanish and is also well versed in the English clas- sics. As a pastor he has held several important charges with marked suc- cess. Besides his pastoral work, Dr. Smythe gives much time to educational affairs. He is a member of the execu- tive board of Wilberforce university, As inspector of missions in the West Indies he did effective work, for which he received the highest approval of the bishop of the territory in which he labored. | During his pastoral career in the A. M. E. church he has come into close contact with the masses of the race to ne. a A oo Pee: See a a SF ya pi . e Ye ae ee a nee A leer such an extent that he has become deeply impressed with the idea of de voting the remainder of his life to gre BH oervoey ana esa Locreat rence cided to go to the west Coast of the “dark continent” soon after the ad- journment of the session of the gen- eral conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church, in Kansas City, Mo., in May. As he was born in a climate nearly similar to that of West Africa, Dr. Smythe feels that be could more read. ily adjust himself to the work of mis. sions in Africa than if be were a na tive born American. He is well qual. fied to fill any position which the church may see fit <p jutrast to his care on the foreign fleld. ‘19, PLANS EXCURSION TO CUBA. Promoter Nelson Wants Race to Leave Disfranchising Southern States, ‘The United States labor and com- merce reports show that Cuba buys annually $10,000,000 worth of hogs. potatoes, eggs, watermelons, cabbages and onions, all of which can be raised on her own rich soll. The Negro farmers who are disfranchised in the ‘southern states who want to see what ‘they are working for should go to Cu- ba and look over the field, “where every avenue for agricultural pursuit Is open to them.” On the Ith of June, July, August, September and October R. W. R. Nel son will inaugurate his prospective ex- cursions from New York to Cuba, five days, including hotel accommodations and sight seeing, at a very small cost for the round trip. ‘There never was a better opportun!- ty offered the Negro for business who means business than this.

ESSENTIALS OF LEADERSHIP. plained by Professor Haynes. In an able address on “The Signis- cance of the Higher Education” recent- ly delivered before the Young Men's Christian association in Brooklyn Pro- fessor George E. Haynes, instructor in sociology at Fisk university, sald: “The educated lender must be ade- quately equipped physically, mentally and spiritually for leadership. Health is the first essential. Bodily ills unfit one for any kind of service or enjoy- ment. Physical strength is necessary for educated leadership. ‘The term ed- ucation must nlxo Incinde physical de- velopment “Mental training Is the keynote to ef- fective Jendership. ‘The longer and more thorough tie development of the mind the better for real and true lead- ership. College training is absolutely necessary for the highest type of lead- ership. ‘The problems to be faced re- quire the most highly tratued minds. “No leadership can be effective for good unless it Is of the spirit. Interest in the welfare of others, forgetfulness of self, etc., are the true touchstones of lendership. However. this altruist{c feeling must be coupled with thorough mental and physical hearing.” Growth of the Crisis Maqazine.

The Rocky Mountain Athletic club is at it again and the management is sparing no pains to make it look more and more like the big white club houses of the city. The Rocky is having a new hardwood floor put in that will come up to any of the city, the walls will be painted with beautiful designs and hung with noted pictures, and one of Denver's prominent young business men has been assigned assistant manager. From the looks of things the Rocky is going to be the most beautiful Negro club house in the world. With Victor Walker, president and manager; Chas. West, assistant manager, it should be. BALL A SUCCESS. Last Friday night at Eureka hall there were something like 200 Negroes in attendance to the Cosmopolitan ball and banquet. And I am proud to say that it was one of the grandest public affairs I have ever seen. The dancing was one sweet dream and the luncheon served by the now famous West Bros, was one to be long remembered. Chicken Alle Cot, fruit salad and as for wines and other different beverages all were served with there dazzling sparkles. Manager Dan Hodges was highly elated over the whole affair, and will now offer to the public dancing every Friday afternoon and night for one admission of 25 cents. Everybody who wishes to learn the new dances will be gladly taken care of and you all are invited. GOING WITH RACES. Two popular young Negroes of this city, William Goff (Little Fancy) and Samuel Ketchel (Cuty) will leave the first of the week with the Estabrook stables for Seattle and the Northwest. Both boys will work in the capacity of trainers and they are wished much success by all friends. RUSSELL (NOODLES) SMITH. One of the classiest business men in Seattle is Mr. Russell Smith, a former Denver boy. Mr. Smith is in the club business and has interests in other enterprises which keep him busy. He advises all of his young friends who are desirous of entering a business, to come Northwest, as the field is great and sure of success. ROCKIES BEAT ARVADAS 11-3. ROCKIES BEAT ARVADAS 11-3. In a walk away game last Sunday at Arvada, Colorado, the Rocky Mt. Athletic club ball team found it an easy matter to bring home the bacon with a score of 11 to 3. The Rockies no doubt will have one of the best and fastest Negro ball teams in the West this season. The players are: Clarence Macy, cf.; Budy Ellis, lf.; Ewin Perkins, rf; Walter Duncan, lb.; Geo. Hickman, 2b; Don Cattley, ss.; Allie Banks, 3b; Geo. Parker, p; P. Clarence Adams, c. The management of the team is going to do their utmost to give the people in this city a chance to see some good games played at the different parks by the colored boys and it is hoped that in time we will tour the state with one of the best teams that can be produced. The boys are all good players and with good practice there is no reason why the Rocky Mt. ball team shouldn't head the list at the end of the season as star diamond busters. DENVER BELLMEN TO GIVE FIRST ANNUAL DANCE. At Eureka Hall, April 25th. What is supposed to be the greatest ball given anywhere in the world by Negroes is that of the Bellmen of New York City. But wait, the Bellmen of Denver are going to have a try, and see if they can't compete with the Eastern hops. On the 25th of this month at Eureka hall, you all will have a chance to witness one of the swellest dances ever given in this city. The novelty effect will be well worth seeing. The prize waltzing contest will tell who is the best, and the flashlight photo taken will also mean a lot of pleasure. There will be whist tables on the balcony for those desiring a game and as for refreshments they will be served in abundance. With plenty of entertainers and first-class music by the Holly trio and Webster's orchestra, I don't see why the Bellmen's first annual ball shouldn't be the swellest function of the season, so readers and the public, if you wish to do everything in the right way you will be at the Bellmen's ball at Eureka hall, April 25. All men are invited to the Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday afternoon, April 21st, at Scott's M. E. church, 3 p. m. Rev. A. E. Reynolds will speak.
