Register The savage attacks on the courts made by the Citizens party are a forecast of the rule or-ruin policy it will follow if elected. It sounds well but is dangerous, especially to colored citizens. Twenty-Third Year Register 6r-ruin policy CHEYENNE AND FORT RUSSELL During the last few months there has arisen a great deal of dissatisfaction among the people concerning the ministers of their churches. When they are not quarreling about one thing it is another. One week the Methodists will say that their preacher is dishonest and the next week they will say that he has no principle. But if contention happens to lull for a week in the Methodist church it is certain that some discord will take place in the Baptist church in the same week. During the past two weeks the Baptist people have been charging that their minister is a rascal. They say that they must have another preacher. They say that they have already engaged another minister and that he will be here about the 28th of April. have their minister removed until conference meets. Undoubtedly something must be done, for it is already being charged that though it has hardly been a month since the great revival, both churches have fallen into a state of lethargy. The congregations on Sunday mornings are not as large as they were before the great meeting. Neither church has more than fifteen persons in attendance outside of the regular church officers. But the great perturbation of the church people was temporarily relieved when the appalling news of the horrible disaster of the Titanic was received. Instead of wrangling about their ministers they are wondering whether any colored people were aboard the great floating city when she went down. On the night of April 20th Blacksmith Butler of Troop D was brutally strack on his head with an ax by one Williams. It is not know what the trouble was between Butler and Williams. Blacksmith Butler was taken to the hospital and was unconscious until April 22nd. All that he has been able to say so far is that Williams struck him with an ax. FORT RUSSELL, WYO. Doinga of the "Stinging B." That B troop outfit is certainly a sporting bunch. They not only sport when in quarters, but they sport at all times and on all occasions. On the 15th of April they went out to solve a problem in maneuvers, which gave the young soldiers some valuable experience. After the problem had been solved, an interesting ball game was enjoyed. But this outfit did not attract the serious 'attention of other organizations until it formed a pool club. They knew that when the club was organized that every other outfit in the post would have to take off their hats to it. The organization of the club was effected on the 25th of December, 1911. The first game was played with Troop "A" on the evening of December 27, 1911, the score being 162 for A and 170 for B; second game January 2, 1912, A, 102; B, 103; third game January 8, A, 100; B, 112. The fourth game was played on January 9th, with the crack team of Battery C, the score being 165 for the Battery and 191 for the Troop. Fifth game, Battery C, 200; Troop B, 136. The sixth game, which was for the championship, was one of the most interesting that has ever been played in the post. It took place on the evening of March 28th. The visiting attendance was over 200. When half the game was finished, intermission was had and half the supper was served. After intermission the rest of the game was played and after this the other part of the supper was served. The game ended with Troop B as champions. The horses were too fast for the mules. The members of the troop team are as follows: Sergeant Darton, manager; Corporal Brown, secretary; Mr. R. Evans, treasurer. Other members WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH IT? The Proposals of the Citizens Party Can Receive the Support of Colored Citizens Only on Condition that We Throw Away Our Birthright, and Sacrifice the Rights of Our Children, Following Vagaries. Laws as well as candidates are to be determined in the city election, for one party, the "Citizens," is making most of its capital out of its advocacy of certain measures. Voters, and especially colored voters, need to take heed that they be not deceived by the extraordinary stress placed upon the personality of the candidates and forget the all-embracing effect of the legislation proposed. There are good and bad candidates, but whatever their merits, they are all bad if the laws which they will administer, are bad. Because we believe that the "progressive" ideas proposed by the "Citizens" threaten our property rights, our political rights and even our very lives, we are opposed to them and are undertaking to give the reason for the faith that is in us. Every colored citizen is keenly aware that his position is not that of the average American, especially in matters of legislation. The amendments to the constitution guaranteeing him certain rights common to all Americans are ridden over at will. In some sections property rights are going the way political rights have gone. All this is in response to popular demand and in defiance of the letter and the spirit of the state and federal constitutions. Now comes a political party in Denver proposing to break down the old established forms so far as the municipality can, and substitute the decision of popular majorities. We can grant their argument that conditions need improving, and then refuse to accept their proposal of many elections as the cure for one which elects poor administrative and legislative officials. Because a legislature passes laws it should not, or refuses to pass laws it should, we do not believe that the emajority of voters are going to pass better laws in a general election through "initiative and referendum" when they have such little judgment as to select legislators who are bad. We do not believe that they will chose good officials after recalling bad ones, any easier than they did in the first election. In short the Citizens party in Denver is pledged to measures which contain the same elements of human error as those they would supplant. The virtues of the proposed amendments are dreams based upon the super-excellence of the majority of voters, and the utter deprivation of the majority of office-holders. But even if we did not believe them futile, we would hesitate to advocate them when it is clear that they will bring in their train a world of possibilities for real injury to us. are: Corporal Smith, Corporal Williams, Blacksmith Hawkins, Mr. Carter, Mrs. Landies and Kid Cole, the young horse that has just been turned loose. Any team desiring to challenge this one will please call up Sergeant Darton. Where now federal and state constitutions safeguard us by preventing the enforcement of "class" legislation, initiative, referendum and recall, when once a part of the same constitutions will make it possible for the majority to impose upon the minority any kind of legislation it wishes. There is no denying this, for it is the cardinal virtue which their friends claim. vorite target, and the "progressives" see glorious visions how these three cousins of Lynch Law will string them up by the thumbs. We submit to colored citizens what will be our fate under such legislation whenever some unusual crime, some trouble in the public schools between the children of the two races, some purchase of property where we are not wanted, brings down upon us the deadly enmity already shown in race prejudice, and when the law instead of shielding the weak from the strong, as it does now, ACTUALLY MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE MOB TO HAVE IT WAY, AND THEN ENCOURAGES ITS DEBAUCHERY OF JUSTICE WITH A SEMBLANCE OF LEGALITY. If the "progressives" only seek to punish bad officials, then it is logical and fair that they propose some form of impeachment that will give the accused opportunity for defense. That they propose to recall them without other trial than the campaign affords, shows clearly that to shift the government at every caprice of the people, whatever the cost, is their aim and not to punish wrong. And just now when all over this country the spirit is rife for anti-Negro legislation, it is too dangerous for us to consent to being stripped of such protection as present laws give. Summed up, our objection to the Citizens party is that its proposal to substitute the unskilled and unthinking judgment of the majority of voters for the work of legislators who have both the law and the facts before them, will not better matters, even though the one is honest and the other is not. Our objection to recall is that it in no way makes certain the election of better officials than the ones recalled, and worst of all sets up a principle that a man in office shall suffer punishment for alleged misdeeds, which accusers are not required to prove, and which he has no adequate opportunity to answer. We deny that the political forum and the public press are capable of giving any man a fair and impartial hearing, and we believe, that the principle of fair Cupid has surprised the boys again Corporal Smith is going to get mar trial and justice to the individual is of more importance in perpetuating this government, than any scheme whose only asset is the possibility of getting a good official by the removal of another. So much we believe that is applicable to all Americans alike. But when we realize the handicap of color we have, we know well that in placing in the hands of the majority of voters, the power to set elections over night which will be decided according to their passions—just as most of them are now—the rights of our race which are already precarious enough now with all the law to bulwark them, will be swept away and the seal of legality stamped upon our peonage. We have a duty to our children to perform, and we must not voluntarily surrender their birthright in chasing the idle dreams of "reformers"—idle in that they will not affect anything for the whole people, but will be dangerous in furnishing a sure means for our undoing. The Republican party realizes fully the need of keeping step with civilization. It holds sacred all that is good in the past and is setting its face to the future with the expectation of building securely on the good foundation laid. It believes in justice and realizes that law is the surest road to justice. Instead of "recalling" a judge for enforcing the law as it is, the Republican party would amend the law and comment the judge. Its candidates will not wipe out the rights of property and of person that two thousand years have built up, but it will set safeguards over the officiary so that these rights will be the better preserved. It agrees that conditions need amendment, but it does not believe that the best way to improve them is to destroy the ground work upon which they rest. Therefore, The Statesman asks the voters to support the Republican platform and ticket in the coming election because they guarantee real improvement. They are devoid of dangerous experiment. They will protect even the weakest citizen from the hatred of the most powerful. They will be fit exemplars of the past record of the grandest party ever on earth. We believe that all argument that the Republican party has outlived its usefulness is answered by the slavish and assinine endeavor of its opponents to exalt passion over sense in an endeavor to get votes. ried on the 15th of May to Miss Sarah Holms of Duquin, Illinois.

Several members of the troop are hursday , especially to SUPREME CHANCELLOR COMING SUPREME CHANCELLOR COMING. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias for the Jurisdiction of Colorado has been called to meet on August 6, 7 and 8, here in the city of Denver. S. W.

This signal honor to Colorado Pythians will draw an immense throng to the session. HELP WANTED The Dear Field Settlement of Negrees in Weld county, Colorado, has 23 families located, who control 4,000 acres of land, by homestead and desert act. The settlement has a population of 75 and all are jubilant over the prospects of a prosperous season. Those who stayed in the settlement the past winter are not complaining of their hard time and loss of stock; unfortunately most of their horses died from exposure and lack of food, as the crops were not sufficient last year to tide them over the long winter. Like thousands of others, who suffering from last year's drought, some are in need of assistance in the way of horses and seeds. The white people all over the state are banding together to help their unfortunate brothers and sisters in the country. It would be a most commendable act if some of our philanthropists and ministers would take upon themselves the duty of assisting these deserving people, who are sacrificing for the betterment of the condition of the race. They need about six teams and about 5,000 pounds of seeds and about 5,000 pounds of feed. These people are not beggars and are willing to give such security as they may have to return the money from the proceeds of their earnings. One old couple, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Thomas, who had in a crop of corn last year, lost both of their horses and have given up all hopes of assistance and are hoeing up ten acres, or more, to put in a crop, with a hoe to fee dtheir chickens and pigs. Mr. Howard Troutman, who has recently returned from the settlement, can verify this statement and also vouch for the prospects if these people are assisted. There are locations for about ten families on government land. We need a blacksmith, carpenter, plasterer and brick mason, as those who are able to build are improving their homes. Mechanics who were located in the district would be benefitted. We hope that the people who are in a position to help the deserving in Dear Field Settlement will investigate and lend their assistance.

On the day of the strongest wind, Mr. Hawker started out to rescue Sergeant White's hat, but he was landed in Cheyenne in disorder. Corporal H. Williams got lost in the blizzard while on his way from the city. When they found him down on Crow creek he was nearly frozen. This ends the tidings of Troop B. Next week we shall endeavor to find out what is going on in Troop C. Mrs. Randall, who will be remembered in Denver as Miss Mary Sherly, took desperately ill last week. A grand entertainment was given by Troop E on the evening of April 19th. It began with a lecture by Dr. J. A. Shepard. The doctor is an excellent speaker. Many here believe that he is a more able speaker than Dr. Washington. Boys, if you want to know what is going on in each troop in the regiment, read The Statesman. From now on it will have all the news. UNREST AMONG RACE LEADERS VALUE OF WAR AMENDMENTS. Possibility of Endangering the Citizenship of Colored Americans Gives Rise to Nation Wide Inquiry—Note of Warning Against Any Unnecessary Changes In the Organic Law. Washington.—The often repeated statements by prominent colored men, as well as by prominent white men, that the Negro should evince more interest in and concern for the many economic questions that are up for discussion and solution instead of sticking so close to the race problem appears to be harkened to if the hundreds of letters pouring in to prominent men of Washington from colored men in every section of the country can be accepted as an interest and concern. These letters bear on the so called initiative, referendum and recall of decisions now widely discussed and agitated from coast to coast. It appears that the colored people of the country, and especially those in the south and close northern states, have suddenly awakened to the fact that such a change might contain a "sleeper" that would completely nullify the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution as any repeal of them by congress. There is not a single question under discussion today the finality of which does not affect in some measure the colored people. A small question bearing harmless aspects may embody large issues, the adoption of which may mean weal or woe for the race. The referendum is a high sounding word, and because of this fact many of our people may be deceived into the belief that they are beyond its reach. As citizens we sometimes feel that we do not always get the same justice in courts of law and from juries that is meted out to others. But this fact should not argue against the stability of our institutions, which are the product of laws that are permanent and organic. Sentiment Rules Rather Than Law. If the Negro does not always get what is due to him in the courts when the issue is a denial of his civil rights it is not because of the nonexistence of the statute in his favor, but rather because of the existence of a local sentiment which is often substituted for a verdict in his favor. Regardless of these iniquities, the law remains fixed in the statutes, and his psychological moment may eventually come when he and those rights to which he is entitled will be on a par with any other man's rights and justice will be awarded him. But not so if the fixed laws are to be changed by those who have not the interest of the whole people at heart. Suppose in any community a question of denial to the Negro of certain rights was proposed under the recall of decisions. What would happen? A majority of the people, being white and more or less infected with race prejudice, would vote these rights away from him, and all the Negro votes in the country would not be able to stem the tide. Under the Australian ballot system of voting, where secrecy is jealously observed and preserved, this could be done by white men, regardless of party affiliations, who publicly profess friendship for the colored people. Again, suppose a southern state should pass a law disfranchising the Negro, or any northern state, for the matter of that. That disfranchising law would immediately get into the courts and, on appeal to the supreme court, would be held unconstitutional. Then if the right to recall decisions existed the decision of the court would be taken before the people and by them reversed and the constitutionality of the law confirmed, and the Negro would be out of politics and out of every right vouchsafed by the constitution. There is hardly a state in the south where the entire white vote would not be cast for the disfranchisement of the Negro. To say that the race is much alarmed over the possibility of such a law being enacted is putting it mildly. Annual Meeting of Alumni Association. The Rev. Dr. William Maurice Moss, corresponding secretary for the Alumni Association of the Virginia Union university, Richmond, Va., has issued a call for the annual meeting of the association, which will be held at the university on Tuesday, May 14. An effort is being made to reach every alumnus, as the coming meeting of the organization will be one of great importance to every graduate of the schools merged into the present institution. Those who expect to be present are requested to communicate with the corresponding secretary, whose address is 383 Cumberland street, Brooklyn, N. Y. Lynchings Illustrated on Post Cards. Postal cards bearing foreign print which reproduce in horrible detail lynchings in the south are said to be circulating in the United States. According to the description given, one card shows a group of seventy white men and boys standing in a semicircle with the dead body of a colored man in the center of the picture. POLITICS IN ARKANSAS. State and County Leagues Organized to Fight "Grandfather Clause." The fight for political freedom from the proposed disfranchising amendment No. 11 to the constitution of Arkansas, which is to be submitted to the voters of the state next fall, is on in full in so far as the colored citizens are concerned. The amendment in question embodies the "grandfather clause," having for its aim the distranchisement of the colored men of voting age. The fight is being vigorously carried on by Lawyer Sciplo A. Jones of Little Rock and other able leaders of the race throughout the state, among whom are George H. Moore, Dr. J. P. Robinson and T. W. Daniels. State and county leagues are being formed in order that proper instructions may be given to all the people. Women are eligible to membership in these organizations, and they are giving the men genuine support. Contributions are voluntarily given to meet the necessary expenses. The following declaration in the form of resolutions has been adopted and is being used for the instruction of the leaders and members of the state and county leaders—viz: Whereas, Our government, the greatest government on earth, was established upon the theory that taxation without representation is unjust; and, Whereas, It is declared, in the organic law that all men are created free and equal; and, Whatsoever. The proposed constitutional amedment, No. 11, proposes to strike down their underlying and fundamental principles; and. Whereas, The adoption of sald proposed amendment means the taking away from our people the right to take part in or voice their sentiment in any way in connection with government affairs, notwithstanding the fact our people pay a large per cent of the taxes, that their labor has been largely instrumental in converting the forests of the state into fertile fields, their milk has produced and will produce a large part of the state's wealth and that we own a large per cent of the assessable property of the state; and, Whereas, The defeat of this proposed constitutional amendment means more than anything that has transpired since the emancipation proclamation was issued; therefore, be it. Resolved. That no stone be left unturned to defeat the sald proposed constitutional amendment and that organization shall be effected in every county and township in the state for the purpose of informing the importance of defeating sald proposed amendment and of appealing to the fair minded people of the state, whether Democrats or members of any other party, to convince them of the unjustness of this proposed amendment. The constitution of the league further declares that its object is to defeat the ratification of the proposed amendment, "the sole aim of which is the complete disfranchisement of the Negro voters of the state, and, further, to build up an association which shall subserve the best interests of the people." EVIDENCES OF PROGRESS. Growing Demand For Services of Rev. W. S. Smith as Lecturer. Jersey City, N. J.—That our people are more and more beginning to appreciate the educational value of lectures on literary, business and other subjects from which they gain general information is one of the encouraging signs of the progress which they are making toward the better and more important things in the body politic. Lectures given in the various Young Men's Christian associations, churches and in the public schools the past winter have had an unusually large hearing. Among the clergy the Rev. W. S. Smith, pastor of the Monumental Baptist church, in this city, has gained REV. W. S. SMITH. wide fame as a lecturer. His favorite subject is "Up the Ladder of Freedom," being a rapid glance at the struggles of the race in this country from 1619 to the present time. Rev. Mr. Smith's work as a lecturer is highly indored by prominent ministers and educators. The lecture is illustrated with pictures showing the condition of the race in slavery days and the progress which it has made during forty-seven years of freedom. The services of the lecturer are in great demand by both white and colored people. It gives the former a better idea of what the race has accomplished as free citizens as well as the hardships which the race underwent as slaves. It wins friends for the cause of justice and equality before the law for which the colored people must continue to contend for as long as their rights and privileges are jeopardized by a race discriminating public upon the unreasonable ground of color. Rev. Mr. Smith is a Virginian by birth and is well educated. As a pastor he has done a good work of uplift among his parishioners. Some of his friends have endeavored to induce him to give up, lecturing and devote his whole time to the ministry, but he says that he feels called of God to do both. He is a man of great ambition and is as thoughtful as he is ambitious. He is a preacher of known ability and the author of several pamphlets on various subjects.

HALLOWELL & JOHNSON, Props The Statesman One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... 50 It occasionally happens that papers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen in case you do not receive any number when due, inform us by postal card and we will cheerfully forward a duplicate of the missing number. Remittances should be made by Express Money Order, Postoffice Money Order, Registered Letter or Bank Draft. Postage stamps will be received the same as cash for the fractional part of a dollar. Only 1-cent and 2-cent stamps taken. Communications to receive attention must be newsy, upon important subjects, plainly written only upon one side of the paper. No manuscript returned unless stamps are sent for postage. Entered as second class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver, Colorado. DENVER PERSONAL MENTION 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. Miss. Elizabeth Rhoden from Boise has come to Denver to make her home with Mrs. J. J. Bates of 2910 Glenarm. The Queen City Choral club rendered a cantata on Monday night at Central Baptist church, "From Gethsemane to Calvary."

Mrs. Lee accompanied him home. the funeral of Mrs. Campton, mother of William and Frank, passed away last week and the funeral occurred on Friday from the undertaking parliars. She had been an invalid for some time. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Wimberley have gone to housekeeping at 1637 High street. Mrs. William Guest has been ill. Her sister, Mrs. Sallie Nelson of Kansas City, has come to visit with her. A. S. Hamilton is seriously ill in the hospital at Salida. Mrs. Hamilton went to be with him this week. Mrs. Carl Wilson has been called to Waskom, Texas, on account of the serious illness of her sisters, Mrs. C. W. Hord. The children of Mrs. Cora Joseph feel that they will never be able to thank sufficiently the many, many friends who at the time of the greatest sorrow they have ever known, gave so many expressions of sympathy and did so many little acts of kindness in an attempt to alleviate the awful pain. The same is true of the friends from all parts of the country who sent their messages, and to the ministers who came and spoke consoling words. And such a wilderness of flowers, some coming even from Kansas and Missouri. They were a reinforcement of all that had been said and done Kind friends, they were appreciated, for we feel that it was the last loving tribute you could pay to the sweetest character we have ever known—our mother.

I immediately saw a change and began gaining flesh and could eat almost anything with a relish. I soon got so that a cold did not effect me.

BEST STUDENT IN HER CLASS BEST STUDENT IN HER CLASS Daughter of Rector Alfred H. Leatad Achieves the Honor of Being the Valedictorian of the June Graduating Class In Mechanic Arts High School, St. Paul, Minn. By N. BARNETT DODSON. So far this year the record of young Afro-Americans in our high schools and colleges has been as equally satisfactory as in other years. Students in schools of university grade on the whole have made high averages. Notably among such institutions are Atlanta, Howard, Shaw, Lincoln and Fisk universities. In the high schools of Boston, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Washington, Dallas, Tex., and a few other large cities high efficiency in class work has been attained. In making up the June graduating class in the Mechanic Arts high school in St. Paul it was found that Miss Catherine Deaver Lealtad, daughter of the Rev. Alfred H. Lealtad, rector of St. Philip Episcopal church, had made the best record of any student in the class. She has stood at the head of her class almost constantly for three years, and, according to the custom followed for many years, Miss Lealtad will be the valedictorian of her class next June. In speaking of the rule of the school in this respect, Professor Weitbrecht, principal of the Mechanic Arts high school, is reported as saying the student showing the best record shall have that honor, and the second best shall be the salutatorian. It is simply a question of brains, not color. There is an average of about fifty white to one colored student in the school. Marcellus L. Countryman, whose father is counsel for the Great Northern railroad, stands second and will therefore be the class salutatorian. Miss Catherine Deaver Lealtad belongs to a family of educators. She is the great-granddaughter of John Stew- THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WORLD art Stanley, who was a schoolmaster of note many years ago in Newbern, N. C. Many of the free colored people in slavery days—B. K. Sampson and members of the well known Harris, Laryes and Alston families—received their first education at the Newbern school. The mother of Charles W. Chestnut was also a pupil of the same school. John Stewart Stanley's younger brother with his family migrated to New York and Ohio in the early 50's. Another brother of Mr. Stanley also came north about ten years prior to the younger Stanley. Their children and grandchildren have taught school north and south for many years. Miss Lealtad's mother was for many years a successful teacher in the public schools of Cleveland, O. The late Miss Kate Stanley, a cousin of Miss Catherine Lealtad, was one of the first colored teachers in public schools of New York. Mrs. Harriet Merrill Brown and Miss J. H. Burress of the same family stock are among the public school teachers of New York at the present time. Dr. V. Morton-Jones, M. D., a cousin of the Lealtads, is a successful practicing physician in Brooklyn and also a worker in many good movements for racial advancement. SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW. Mayor ..... Dewey C.

He will preach and administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to the extraordinarily large class the priest, Father Brown, will present to him. The service will be a most impressive one and will be of great historic interest and value from the fact that the class to be presented will be by far the largest on record. The priest anticipates a very large attendance at this service, and in order to provide ample accommodation for all who may attend, rushed the needed extension of the church which will be ready for worship on Sunday. Notwithstanding the fact, however, that the seating capacity of the church will be nearly doubled, the building is likely to be taxed to its utmost limit. All are therefore advised to come early for no seats will be reserved. Sermon subject for the 11 o'clock service: 'A Little While.' MISS THERINE D. LEALTAD.

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 Oqden 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 gethenselves 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, Ger- ```markdown ``` many and France. They were eighteen 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 WHO IS A SCHOLAR OF THE LONDON ROYA? 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 Denyer's colored population, who can avail themselves of this opportunity to hear this premier Jubilee troupe of the world will miss it.

Holschaw, 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.

MANY NOTABLES ON PROGRAM Organization Composed of Prominent Men and Women of Both Races Takes Firm Stand Against Lynching—Believes In Equal Justice and Opportunity For Afro-Americana. Chicago.—The fourth annual meeting of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People will be held in this city for two days, beginning on Sunday afternoon, April 28, at which time the exercises will be held in the new Sinal temple. Miss Jane Addams will preside. The speakers for this session of the conference will be Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard of New York and Professor William Pickens. This will be the first time the association has arranged for an annual meeting in the middle west, and as Chicago is easily reached from all sections the management expects a large representation of members, visitors and other persons directly concerned in human welfare. The sessions on Monday and Tuesday will be held in Handel hall. At the afternoon meeting on Monday Mr. Sherman C. Kingly will preside. The speakers will be Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, the eminent scholar, author, editor and lecturer, and Judge E. O. Brown of the appellate court. At the evening sessions Bishop B. T. Lee of Ohio will preside and will speak on "The Rule of the Strong." Miss Julia Lathrop of Hull House will open the discussion following Bishop Lee's speech. L. M. Rubinow of New York, Charles Edward Russell, magazine writer, and Professor Kelly Miller of Washington will be among the speakers. On Tuesday morning reports will be received from the different sections of the country. A reception will be held at Hull House Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Emmons Blaine will preside at the final meeting, which will be devoted to a discussion of "The Negro in the City." Among those on the program are Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools; Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, John H. Walker, president of the United Mine Workers of Illinois, and Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones. In the list of topics for discussion are: "The Negro's Progress During the Year," "Help For the Negro From 'the Silent South,'" "The Year's Record of Lynching and Other Manifestations of Mob Law," "Problems of Urban Life," "Segregation of the Negro," "Disfranchisement," "The Kansas City Dynamite Outrage," "The Psychology of Race Prejudice," "Denial of the Negro's Civil Rights in the North." The call for the convention declares its purpose in the following statement: "The purpose of the association, according to the call sent out by its officers, is to 'uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the full enjoyment of their rights as citizens, justice in all the courts, and equality of opportunity everywhere.' The association upholds the doctrine of 'all men up and no man down.' It abhors Negro crime, but still more the conditions which breed crime and most of all the crimes committed by mobs in the mockery of the law or by individuals in the name of the law. It believes that the scientific truths of the Negro problem must be available to uplift the colored man and aid the white man to peace and social content. "Lynchings in the United States during 1911 were many and terrible. The number recorded is seventy-one, eight white and sixty-three colored, but unquestionably not all are reported. Many entirely innocent persons are among the victims. Thus in the lynching at Lake City, Fla., six Negroes were strung up as targets to be riddled with bullets in revenge for the killing of one white man. In Oklahoma, Georgia and Kentucky innocent men have died deaths of torture at the hands of the mobs. Women, too, have been among the victims. As the terrible happenings have occurred the association has written to the governors of the various states demanding the punishment of the criminals. They sent courteous replies, but the end of the year 1911 saw no lyncher punished." District Republican Clubs Unite. The colored Republican clubs of the Seventeenth assembly district in Kings county. New York, have united their forces for the purpose of doing effective campaign work in the coming national election. Mr. John H. Smith, long time prominent in Republican politics in the county, was elected executive member. He will represent the wishes of the voters in the councils of the general county committee, of which Mr. Lewis M. Swasey is chief. Higher and Industrial Education. Leaders of thought and action in educational affairs are pretty much agreed that for the successful uplift of the masses of the race both higher and industrial education should be given. The race needs above all else trained leaders in order to reach all classes and conditions. No one line of education should be lauded to the disadvantage of the other.

Thus "PORO" is achieving a wonderful success by giving the people a complete scientific sanitary method for scalp and hair treatment.

SPORTS AND THE ST By Leon Pryor SPORTS AND THE STAGE JACK JOHNSON IN AN AUTO COLLISION. Jack Johnson, champion pugilist, was injured in an auto collision last Wednesday afternoon in the city of Pittsburg. The champion had several tendons in his back sprained, and has been advised by his physi- ician to cancel his theatrical engag- ements for two weeks, that he might be in good shape for his coming fight, July 4, with Jim Flynn. WANTED COLORED ACTS. Notice to all amateur performers. I would like to come in contact or hear from all good young colored performers of the city. I have made arrangements to give bookings to several colored acts, so see me, or write The Statesman. THE LAWRENCE STREET CAFE. One of the most desirable cafes in the city is the Lawrence Street Cafe. It has all the attitude of pleasure, cleanliness and service and the proprietress, Miss Cora Owens, is due much credit as she is one of Denver's most successful Negro business women. WILLIAMS JUBILEE SINGERS. Once more to Denver comes the far famed Williams Jubilee song birds. They will give their concerts at the Baptist church on 24th and Ogden street, the 29th of this month. The company consists of some very noted artists, and there is no doubt but what they are better this year than ever and the people of Denver open wide their doors and bid the Williams company of jubilee singers a hearty welcome. LOVEJOY & CO. The act that is creating a great success in the Northeast is that of J. C. Lovejoy & Co. The act is said to be a one act drama with much or many impressive meanings for the welfare of the Negro. THE WEST BROS. CAFE CO. During the past two years in this city, there is one young Negro that is due a large amount of credit for his business qualities and that is Mr. Chas. West, the manager of the now famous West Cafe on Welton street, and the business has grown so large in the past two years that they are forced to move to larger quarters. In the near future they will be installed in their new location at 21st and Curtis street, and will be open to the public about the 10th of May with everything first class, having the best entertainers that money can procure, or in other words the swellest cafe west of Chicago, and until about May 10 they will continue to give service at the old place on Welton street. JACK CURLEY FINDS BATTLE GROUNDS FOR FIGHT. There is no use talking, Mr. Jack Curley, the big manager of Jim Flynn, is some hustler, or at least he has got the people thinking so. A few days ago he made the statement that he had closed the deal with the officials of Las Vegas, N. M., and the fight promoters, and that the Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn fight would surely take place in that city on the Fourth of July for the heavyweight championship of the world. Well, this certainly looks like a big world, for both Jack and Curley. One will still show his supremacy as the beatfigurer the world maintains, and the other will do the Tex Rickard stunt by making maybe a cool 1,000,000 for his bull dog grit-sticking to it until he got just what he wanted—a place to fight. ROCKY MTS. WIN OVER F. G. ALL STARS. Te Rocky Mt. Athletic club ball team has started the season by winning their first two games with ease. On last Sunday afternoon at 45th and Franklin they had the pleasure of beating the F. G. All Stars by a score of 16 to 4, and they played some more fast ball. In the near future they will play the Sharp Music company at 23rd and Welton street, so watch this page for set date. COLORADO COLLEGE INTERSCHO LASTIC TRACK AND FIELD MEET Colorado Springs, May 4, 1912. $3.00 for the round trip, Denver to Colorado Springs, by way of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. "The Scenic Line of the World." Tickets on sale May 3rd. Final return limit May 6th. Tickets on sale at City Ticket Office, 17th and Stout Sts., or Union Depot. The new theater which the Negro business men of New York City predict will be the swellest in the land, will soon be started on at the enormous cost of $125,000. The head men of the co-operation are Johnson brothers, Lester Walton, Baron Wilkins and several other prominent Negroes of New York City. DANCING SCHOOL NIGHTS CHANGED TO MONDAY. Starting on Monday evening, May 6, the Boosters will have dancing on Monday instead of the usual Friday night dancing. As the management figured that Monday night would be AND THE STAGE in Pryor more convenient for the public, and it is hoped that in the future the people of Denver will take more interest in their dancing, as there will be a lot of new dances introduced that the people don't know anything about, and if we don't wish to stay behind we should learn. HARRY GREEN AND WIFE TO ENTER VAUDEVILLE. Two promising young people of this city, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Green, are hard at work arranging their new act that is soon to be seen in vaudeville. Both are very clever and there is no reason why they shouldn't be a big success. NEGRO PRIZE FIGHTERS OF DENVER. The Negro ring artists of this city these late days seem to be in a class by themselves. They don't care whether they fight or not, or at least it appears that way to the public. In Denver we have some five or six good boys that are capable of taking care or themselves but it seems as though they are all a lot of unambitious fellows with great qualifications. Right here in this city and state there is much to do if they would try, but try they will not, so there you are. It is not necessary that they have a manager in these amateur days. But what the colored boxers of Denver do need is more get up, more stability, and in time they will be able to get in the limelight and on the road to success. SOMETHING NEW. The handkerchief bazaar at Campbell church next week. Interesting program and a variety of fun. IT LOOKS LIKE A CRIME to separate a boy from a box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Weakness, nervousness, lack of appetite, energy and ambition, with disordered liver and kidneys often follow an attack of this wretched disease. 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.
