VOTE THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN Twenty-Third Year DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1912. KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE LION'S MOUTH. Arnold's Democratic Aversion to Negroes Together With The Support He Receives From Organized Labor, Makes It Certain That It Is Suicidal For Them To Support The Citizens Party. We can pity the poor, blind, visionary Negroes who think "recall" does not We are against him for their sake. We are not yet ready to commit suicide. THE support which union labor is giving to the Citizens Party confirms us in the belief that Henry J. Arnold and his crew of fake reformers will prove the worst possible choice for colored voters next Tuesday. Despite our sympathy with union wage earners in their endeavor to get the most that they can for their labor, we cannot forget the bar which they raise against us in all but a few unions. The political activity of union labor is always directed toward benefitting members of the organization. Therefore such unusual support as they have given Arnold and his running mates, spells suicide for Negroes who join with them. The Statesman has charged Arnold with unfriendliness to Negroes, and has said that we would not find employment on public works if he is elected. The large part union labor plays in his campaign, makes our employment the more impossible should he win. The Republican Ticket Is Good The Platform Is The Best. Despite the fact that the Citizen's party is standing in the public gaze, smiting its breast and calling on all to witness that it is holy, the colored voter is mindful of the fact that Henry J. Arnold, like the interpreters of the United States constitution before the Civil war, restricts his pleasant promises and fair dealings to white citizens. This Pharisicalical reform party, and the Speer Democrats as well, offer nothing to the colored voter except the chance to be the horse which shall carry them to victory, in the case of Speer, we need make no arguments. Such voters as are satisfied with conditions as they have been for the past eight years, will vote to elect Hunter and the rest of the Speer Democratic ticket. Thus as are not satisfied with the great burden of taxation and the methods that party has used, will protest by electing its opponents. The Citizens' party has done nothing and promises to do everything. There is not a human weakness it does not say it will do away with. Yet strange to say, it is Bonfils of the Post, Sullivan of Cripple Creek notoriously, Arnold, the inefficient postmaster, and the failure in business, who are the reformers. We know well that there are a number of honest, sincere supporters of the Citizens' ticket, men and women above reproach, but they are only the deluded followers of designing leaders. Because of this fact and because of the need which the Republican party has to win this election to be prepared to win the national election in the fall, we are for the Republican ticket. Its platform is businesslike, offering improvements in city affairs that can be brought about. Its candidates average better than those on other tickets. Right here we wish to say that it is impossible to gather together on any ticket men all on a common level of excellence. There are better and worse. Therefore complaints against one man on the Republican ticket is no argument for the whole ticket that opposes Republicans; nor is praise of one Democrat reason for voting against all Republicans. There is no sanctification granted our party that exempts it from human error. But one thing the colored people know from bitter experience, that for every right given them to labor or enjoy the fruits of labor, their thanks are due Republicans. For every loss of rights, their blame is due to Democrats. It is true that some Republicans have sided in with Democrats in their injustice, but some of the angels in Heaven followed Lucifer when he discarded the celestial city for the brimstone lake. Some Democrats have been most liberal in giving places to colored supporters, but none of them have been able to keep their party from passing legislation injuring us. Let's give credit where it is due, but at the same time let us be sensible and keep the proportion of things. The shortcomings of the Democratic party, or of the Citizens' party, which is led by disgruntled Democrats, loom larger than those of Republicans. It is so much easier to find fault than it is to do good, that it is no wonder that vote seeker criticise their opponents, neglecting to prove their own worthiness. We now wish to show the strength of the Republican party, and why it should be the colored voters' choice on Tuesday. First of all, the Republican party has long held our allegiance, so that our support of it and our participation in its machinery calls for no readjustments due to friction between the races. The Republican party does violence to its traditions and sentiments whenever it mistreats us, and it therefore is guilty of showing prejudice less than any set of Americans. This general truth defies villiers to controvert. They can point one or another prejudiced white Republican, but not nearly so many or so powerful as can be shown in other parties. They can tell what the Republican party has not done, but they dare not tell what it has done for us. In short, in a country in which we have recently been slaves, the Republican party, more than any other, numbers the men who would see us become citizens in the fullest sense of the word. This attitude of the party toward the Negro is its attitude toward every submerged class. It means to use the highest intelligence of the best citizens for the benefit of the least. Therefore it is opposed to the revolutionary ideas whereby the Citizens' party, for instance, would tear down the courts and recall officials, on the theory that the masses know more than the classes. This proposition alone is dangerous enough for us to vote for the Republican ticket, had it nothing else to commend it than its opposition to such mob rule. The candidates of the party are a host in themselves. Beginning with Dewey C. Bailey for mayor, they are men of good repute. They are men who have been tried in other places than the ones they seek, and have made good. The party has been happy in getting successful men to lead it. It is not offering a lot of make-shift office-hunters who need to apologize for their past. They do not represent a slavish subservience to union labor, nor to capital, nor to religious creed, nor to any section of the city. The tongue of the vilifier has charged them with being hirelings of the public utility corporations, but voters should see through such a palpable attempt of the mob to make itself appear holy by lowering better people to its own standard. Republicans mean our loss of rights and property in the long run. They have a confidence in the future action of the masses which we have not. But for the Negroes who intentionally support the cause of union labor, we cannot be so charitable. They have present knowledge, they have had past experience in their own lives, they have daily examples of the utter refusal of union labor to permit negro workmen to enjoy profitable employment in trades which unionism controls. They know or ought to know that unionism has had laws passed in several states that have deprived the negro train porter of his job. Union cooks have driven negro waiters from Denver hotels. Even among the hod carries of Denver there has been organized a second union composed entirely of whites out of protest against the presence of black laborers in the old union. THESE ARE FACTS. Unionism is for Arnold, so says the News and the Post, We are against him for their sake. We are not yet ready to commit suicide. M. DEWEY C. BAILEY, Republican Candidate for Mayor. Dewey C. Bailey, the Republican nominee for mayor, enjoys the unusual distinction of having received the least criticism that has come to the standard bearer of any party in Denver for many years. Even such past masters at the art of mud slinging as the Post and the News have found no fault in him and have been forced to ask his defeat because the public utility corporations of Denver want him elected. Their silence leads us to believe that he never robbed an orchard while he was a boy, nor sold out Denver for corporation money since he has been a man. We are certain that he has not had to disgorge any trust funds that he misappropriated, he has never robbed poor colored people and widows and orphans in Durango or anywhere else. He has not been a failure at anything, and in fact the silence of the opposition is so eloquent in its praise of the Republican nominee that we are certain that the voters who wish Denver to be well governed and in a business-like manner, can vote for Bailey as the best possible choice. Maybe the corporations want Bailey elected. We suspect that they do. They pay a large amount of taxes, and just like the little taxpayers, they would like to see Denver economically administered. Vote for Bailey and the straight Republican ticket. The Republican Ticket Is Best The Republican Ticket Is Best Dewey C. Bailey.....Mayor Thomas Everard Williams.....Sheriff Albion K.

They have picked their candidates with an eye to their usefulness to the city, not to satisfy the Christian Union on the one hand, as has the Citizens' party, nor the denizens of the lower world, as have the Democrats. A vote for the Republican ticket is a vote for Greater Denver. GLENWOOD SPRINGS. Rev. Fant was in our city last week and conducted services at the A. M. E. church.

Master of Ceremonies, Brother Odd Fellows, Worthy Inmates, Ladies and Gentlemen: In the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-three, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows was founded in America by Peter Ogden. This organization was created for the purpose of aiding and assisting each other, for uniting in one grand body in energetic defense of our race, as well as develop and elevate the mental and moral character of our Brotherhood. In the very beginning it was declared that it was not good for man to be alone. Woman in all ages has been man's helpmate. So, realizing the good influence of woman to bless man and to spread the principles upon which the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows was founded, the Household of Ruth was established. tittle son Denver cincinnati, e after It is composed of financial members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, their wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and widows of all Odd Fellows in good standing, of sound mind, good health and good moral Continued on page 6 American Ticket Is Best Mayor Sheriff Auditor Assessor Treasurer Clerk Recorder Superintendent of Schools Coroner Moore County Judges Public Utilities Commission Brown, Simon Qulat.

In Learned Address on Health Conditions Among Afro-Americans the Rev. J. Andrew Patterson Says Race Must Change Mode of Life or Suffer Fate of the Indian. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Cambridge, Mass.—The annual banquet of the Health Culture club of this city recently held in the Rush A. M. E. Zlon church, of which the Rev. Dr. C. Fairfax is pastor, was the occasion for a large gathering of prominent citizens, educators and professional men and women, who are deeply interested in the work of the organization. Besides the principal speaker of the evening, Dr. Joshua A. Brockett, Madam Noble and George R. Margetson took part in the splendid literary program rendered. The banquet orator was the Rev. J. Andrew Patterson of New York, the 1920 REV. J. ANDREW PATTERSON. noted author, lecturer and psychophysical culturist. Dr. Patterson has given years of study and research on subjects relating to health conditions among the colored people of the United States. He has also made careful investigations from time to time of the death rate among our people as to cause, age and kind of disease and the sanitary condition of residence, whether city or country, in which large numbers of colored people live. Dr. Patterson's address was listened to with close attention. He said in part: to with close attention. He said in part: "The signing of the emancipation proclamation by the immortal Lincoln was a long stride toward the colored man's freedom, but the sudden transition from the forced simple life of slavery into the unknown complex conditions and responsibilities of freedom carried with it a calamity to the race more appalling to contemplate than the passing of the American Indian. The Indian on the border line of civilization needed to adopt but few of the vices and customs of modern civilization to exterminate him. "On the other hand, the colored man is functioning right in the midst of a thousand vices, customs and conditions that will destroy any race. And as a sincere student of this staggering question, being armed with irrefutable facts, I warn the colored people of America that unless something is done to stop this maddening dance of death before the twilight of another century falls the nations of the earth will have wailed the dirge of another lost race. The real facts concerning the true moral and physical condition of the race relating to the increasing death rate are little understood by ministers and teachers, who hold the destiny of the race, as it were, in their hands. "Not only is this generation innately inferior physically to the untebellum Negro, but for lack of knowledge the vast majority is not and cannot consume its energy. In many sections marriage is safe waning. Among those who are married version to fearing families is a scourge in that is blasting at the very foundation stone of the future race. "Of every 100 colored children born fifty die before the second birthday is reached. Is that all? No. Unmentioned thousands pass who never know an independent heart pulse. "Insanity is rapidly increasing among Negroes under twenty-five. Consumption, or modern tuberculosis, is becoming an epidemic almost as prevalent as the conventional bad cold. Already the young people under twenty-five are dying three to one white. "There are those who will tell you that all is well, that there is no danger of the race dying off. I ask as one having authority. 'What will the future be?'" The speaker told of the wonderful work being done by the mind and body culture movement, or the new health culture, which principles, if applied, would soon remedy the present condition of the race. LIFE IN CENTRAL AFRICA. How Missionaries Help the Natives. The Feudal System Explained. Hampton, Va.-The Rev. A. G. Fraser, president of Kandy college, Ceylon, spoke at the Hampton institute recently on "Life In Central Africa." He described most vividly his impressions of African life—the singing of "Holy, Holy, Holy" by natives who had been freed from the control of Arab slave dealers; the crowds of little children suffering from famine and disease, the dying of thousands and the wiping out of whole villages by hunger, the system of selecting the leading chiefs of Uganda, the cruelty of heathenism and the reforms in the social life of the African people through native Christians. Mr. Fraser declared that the people of Uganda were not savage. They have had 450 years of history, a feudal system which provides for the selection of the best men as rulers, the influence of Christian missionaries for over thirty years and a highly developed spoken language which the Christians have helped them to convert into a written language of rare force and flexibility. The villages of Uganda are found on the tops of low hills averaging from 100 to 300 feet in height and are separated by slow moving rivers. Up to 1822 the people of Uganda were extremely powerful. From 1822 to 1877 there came a reaction and a downward movement similar to that which came to the English nation during the reign of Charles II. The cruelty of heathenism is well brought out in the attitude of the natives toward the aged, the sick and the young, helpless children, as well as in the attitude of the powerful lords toward their weaker brothers. ESCAPES AN AWFUL FATE. A thousand tongues could not express the gratitude of Mrs. J. E. Cox, of Jollet, Ill., for her wonderful deliverance from an awful foul. "Typhoid pneumonia had left me with a dreadful cough," she writes. "Sometimes I had such awful coughing spells I thought I would die. I could get no help from doctor's treatment or other medicines till I used Dr. King's New Discovery. But I owe my life to this wonderful remedy, for I scarcely cough at all now." Quick and safe, it's the most reliable of all throat and lung medicines. Every NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT DAY. Estate of Ellen Johnson, deceased.

Permanent Committee Named to Arrange For Meeting In 1915. At the final session of the international conference on the Negro, held at Tuskegee, Ala., in April, the matter of appointing a committee to carry out the suggestions of the committee on declarations to provide for a continuance of these international meetings was referred back to the original committee with power to act. This committee after due deliberation agreed to name Dr. Booker T. Washington, who served as presiding officer of the first conference, and Emmett J. Scott, its secretary, together with Dr. Hollis B. Frissell of Hampton, Va., and Robert E. Park of Wollaston, Mass., as members of this committee and authorized them to add three others to their number, these to serve as a permanent executive committee of a general committee, referred to further on, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for a second international conference on the Negro three years hence. It was agreed that this general com- FOR RENT EUREKA HALL Parties wishing To Rent Eureka Hall, 2235 Arapahoe St., Phone Main 7940. I. M. THOMAS MOVING AND STORAGE.

According to statements recently made by Principal N. C. Bruce of the Bartlett Agricultural and Industrial school, Dalton, Mo., is doing a much needed work among the masses of people in the community. The school was started four years ago. Mr. Bruce being its founder. Up to the present time it has been supported by individual contributions from friends directly interested in its success. The trustees of the school, however, have been convinced that the institution is worthy of substantial support and to that end have issued an appeal to the public for funds with which to place the work upon a firm footing. Among those interested as trustees are such prominent men in St. Louis as Mr. Clavin Woodward, Rabbi Samuel Sale, Joseph Wheless, Frank L. Williams and Robert Gurney. Better facilities for farm work and more room for classes and dormitories are among the urgent needs. The district and surrounding country in which the school is located have a colored population of some 60,000; hence the demand for an institution of learning convenient to these people can readily be appreciated. The literary course prepares students for entrance to high schools and academies. Besides the principal, there are six well qualified instructors, with literary classes in the morning and classes in agriculture in the afternoon. Mr. Bruce is hard at work upon plans by which a full equipment for dairy and poultry farming may be secured. More farm land and a brick-yard are among the other industrial branches mentioned in the appeal as prepared by the principal and sanctioned by the board of trustees. Okolona School Ends Prosperous Year The Okolona (Miss.) Industrial school has completed another successful school year. At the graduation exercises recently held the principal speaker was Mr. George W. Cable, the noted author, who delivered an instructive address. The institution is doing good and is worthy of more financial assistance than it has thus far received. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENT C. W. Wixington, 12 Union Blk. Omaha, Nebr. O.

Miss Clarice Jones an Honor Graduate at Ithaca Conservatory. Ithaca, N. Y.—An immense audience that completely filled the spacious music hall witnessed the exercises of the Ithaca Conservatory of Music in connection with the "graduation recital" of Miss Clarice Jones of Washington, daughter of Hon. Thomas L. Jones, a leading member of the bar of the District of Columbia, on Friday evening. May 10. Miss Jones achieved a gratifying triumph and interpreted with skill and rare intelligence a repertory of piano scores embracing the most difficult productions of the world's most celebrated composers of classic music. She was assisted by Miss Alice MacPherson, violinist; Miss Sarah Maybury, accompanist, and by the conservatory orchestra. Miss Jones was not at all nervous and handled the responsive keys with a coolness and accuracy that surprised as well as delighted her tutors and fellow students. The recital ranks with the best that have ever been given at this historic institution, and Miss Jones was overwhelmed with congratulations at the close of her brilliant performance. She was the recipient of profuse and beautiful floral offerings at the hands of her host of friends. The incident is regarded as especially noteworthy from the fact that Miss Jones happens to be the only member of the colored race enrolled this season at the Ithaca Conservatory of Music, the musical department of proud Cornell university. To illustrate the magnitude of her triumph, it may be stated that Miss Jones' numbers at the plano included scherzo and rondo from Sonata A major (Beethoven); variations, B flat minor (Mendelsohn); Nocturne C minor (Chopin); Rhapsodie No. 12 (Liszt), bacarolle (Goddard), Capprice Espanol (Moszkowski), together with a gavot (Raff) for two planos, Miss Jones being assisted by Miss Maybury. Miss Jones will be handed her diploma in June, her recital test having proved her proficiency in classic music, as demanded by the curriculum. It is likely that she will establish at Washington a well equipped conservatory of music for the instruction of colored students in the higher types of musical composition, a replica of the standard set by Cornell. DURHAM SCHOOL NOTES. Report of Armstrong Association Reveals Many Interesting Facts. The report recently issued by the Armstrong association on the results of an investigation made among the colored pupils of the Durham school in Philadelphia disclosed the fact that there is a sad lack of results obtained for the pupils of this school. The investigation showed in a remarkable manner the failure of the present elementary school curriculum to benefit the youth who is compelled to earn his living upon leaving school. Professor Brumbaugh, superintendent of schools, was impressed so strongly by the array of facts listed by James A. Hiatt, secretary of the Public Education association, who headed the committee, that he immediately made plans to have the board of education take up the question of allowing the association to conduct a similar investigation among the white children of the lower grades. In the Durham school investigation 163 pupils were listed by the field secretary of the Armstrong association during the latter months of the school year 1910-11. This list included sixty-four boys and ninety-nine girls, grouped as to age: Fourteen years, seventy-four; fifteen years, forty-one; sixteen years, thirty-five; seventeen years, eight; eighteen years, three; nineteen years, two. Of these pupils ninety-seven returned to school in the fall of 1911, three were transferred to other schools, fifty-six left school, and seven went to higher schools. A long list of questions put to all the pupils registered in the spring showed that thirty-one of those returning worked during the summer, sixty-two did not, and thirteen refused to answer. Of those not returning twenty-four worked, thirteen did not, and twenty were not found. When the investigation was first started it was intended to consider separately the boys and girls who worked during summer and returned to school and those working, but did not return. It was thought that this would be important because of the different character of employment which would be chosen. After going over individual cases it was found that practically no difference was to be found --- ION RATES: ..... $2.00 ..... 1.00 ..... .50 is sent to subscribers are lost or stolen er when due, inform us by postal card icate of the missing number.

That it is a duty which every American of the white race owes to himself and to his white fellow citizens quite as much as he does to the Negro to see it, so far as he is able, that the color of a man's skin shall not subject him to insult, oppression and injustice in a country which boasts of its democracy, its liberty and the political equality of its citizens is the opinion recently expressed publicly by Judge Edward O. Brown of the appellate court in Chicago. Harvard Honors C. G. Woodson. Harvard university recently conferred the degree of doctor of philosophy upon Professor C. G. Woodson of Washington. Mr. Woodson has been an instructor in the M street high school in Washington for a number of years and is a former student of the University of Paris. He has traveled extensively. History and political science are his favorite studies. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION'S SEVENTH ANNUAL MEET Campus of Howard University Selec- ed For Big Scholastic Event. Washington.—Much interest is being manifested in college and high school circles in this city on account of the seventh annual meet of the Interscholastic Athletic association, which will take place on the campus of Howard university on Memorial day, May 30. The meet promises to be the best the association has ever had. There will be eleven track and field events for scholastic athletes, four open handicap events, and relays will be arranged to meet the needs of those who attend for spectacular races. There will be no elementary school events in this meet as formerly, as the Public Schools Athletic league will hold outdoor field games June 8. Two secondary school championships are involved in this meet. The scholastic championship of the middle Atlantic states and the High school championship of the Public Schools Athletic league of this city are at stake. The local schoolboys are keyed up over the event, as it is expected this year that the competition will be closer than ever, and the outcome is much in doubt. The strongest appearing contenders seem to be M Street, Armstrong and Howard academy. Tech has captured honors for two successive years, but this year M Street High seems to have a good chance to take over the championship. Captain Burwell of Armstrong seems to have the field all to himself in the 100 and 440. Roscoe Taylor and Ira Warf are stronger and more experienced and should be able successors to Otis Walker. Duckett, a freshman, and Hunt, a junior, seem destined to finish among the leaders in whatever they start in. Randall of M street high, Logan, Johnson, Miller, Dickinson and Loften are a few whose ability is most marked. It is confidently assumed by the M street coach that Randall will set new marks in the shot event. Dickinson and Miller expect to score high in the events. Howard academy boys have been so much overshadowed by collegiate events in the past two or three years that a true line on the preps is not obtainable. This year, however, they are branching out on their own hook in a manner that betokens surprises. Baltimore promises to be in line this year with a number of dark horses. A new physical director is putting a lot of life in things over in the Monumental City. Local boys are planning to keep the Dunbar boys of Baltimore from having such a walkaway in the open events. The events are 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard run, 880 yard run, one mile run, 120 yard high hurdle race, 220 yard low hurdle race, running high jump, running broad jump, shot put and one mile relay race for scholastic athletes. For open athletes there are a 100 yard dash, 440 yard run, one mile run, handicap and 100 yard run novice. W. A. Griffin of Lebanon Lodge Dies. In the death of W. A.

The very inclement weather last Sunday operated to reduce the attendance of the faithful, however, the 11:00 hour witnessed a very interesting and helpful service. The pastor preached from the subject, "The Life That's Different;" text, Matt. 7:13,14. At the evening service the small number present studied the I Cor. 13. The terrific snow storm on Monday evening made it necessary to postpone the Ladies' Mission Study class. It is hoped that a full number will be present next meeting at which time the class will take up the first half of chapter three in the text book. This class is doing especially good work and is bringing Africa nearer to a number of earnest missionary women. The Men's Bible class are now studying a series of lessons on the life of Joseph. The subject for next Tuesday evening is "Joseph in Prison;" Gen. 40. No man who has an interest in Bible study should not miss these lessons. Early in June the men of the class will prepare a box to be shipped to Dr. H. H. Jones, Liberia, Africa. A program is being prepared for the observance of Children's Day on the second Sunday in June. It is hoped that this will prove the largest gathering of the school for the year. Our association will convene with Zion on the 18th of next month and plans are being laid to entertain the delegation during that week. We expect this to be the largest gathering in its history. Don't forget the $1.00 offering for house cleaning next Sunday. On Wednesday, the 29th, the W. C. T. U. will hold an all-day meeting at Zlon. Special programs will be rendered at the morning, afternoon and evening sessions. The committee that had in charge the Williams concert made a report of $470 net.

The case is in the hands of Lyman J. Henry of Pueblo. He was in the city this week conferring with Lawyer Townsend about it. It looks as though the court will grant a new trial in which event, Harris will get a light sentence at the worst. The district court there also convicted the aged father and sentenced him for life and has had a case against the aged mother. They now talk of dropping this last and it is an indication that the others were rather the hurried action of passion than the sound judgment of the community. REMEMBER IT IS TUESDAY, MAY 28.

The Odd Fellows had a big attendance at their Thanksgiving Service Sunday at Shorter Church, at which Rev. Wallace preached the Sermon. The inclement weather kept down the attenance at the Women's Rally Monday night, yet it was as great a success as good as could be hoped under the conditions. West Bros. are moving into their new location. The Dear Field Settlement of Negroes 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 drouth, 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 assist 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. JAMES MATLOCK, Dear Field Settlement, Masters, Colo.

BUY AT THE WHOLESALE HOUSE THE STATESMAN-6 Cheyenne Fort R Cheyenne and Fort Russell Happenings On Friday evening, May 10th, the W. M. M. society met for the last time in this quarter with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ashford. The session was called at 7 p. m. by the president, Mrs. M. H. Hamler. After the following program was rendered the business part of the meeting was taken up: A most beautiful instrumental solo by Miss Lillian Jefferson. Great laughter was aroused by Mr. Blakeneny's recitation of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's "Little Brown Baby with a Sparkling Eye." Miss Thistle's vocal solo, "Just a Wearying for You," was rendered in her usual sweet way. The monologue, recited by Mr. L Gaskin, caused the house to go almost wild with applause. Mrs. M. H. Hamler read a very interesting and instructive paper on the "Duty of a Missionary." This paper set forth the true spirit with which the mind of every missionary should be imbued. The last, but not the least in interest, was a beautiful solo by Mr. H. C. Jefferson. Everybody knew that something good was going to be heard when they saw Mr. Jefferson's name on the program. This solo, "The Wide Open Sea," certainly caused the audience to have a wide open eye and a wide open ear before the singer was through. Her full term having been served, Mrs. Hamler resigned her chairmanship. On account of the lateness of the hour, the election of new officers was postponed until the next meeting. A unanimous vote of thanks was extended to the president for her faithful service during her leadership. Mrs. Jigetts gave a delicious fish supper Thursday evening, May 9th, for the benefit of Calvary Baptist church. The entertainment was a grand success in every way. After a ten days' stay, Rev.

His little boy, who was operated on for appendicitis, passed away May 5th. Mr. Filmore has the heartfelt sympathy of all friends and neighbors. Although the inclementy of the weather kept many church members from attending service, the solemnness of sentiment on Mother's day was well realized in every home. DOINGS OF THE "SHOOTING E." This troop considers itself as having the best gallery shots in the post. It has challenged every outfit here, but none has responded; it therefore declares itself champion. Troop desires to know what the trouble is with Corp. Johnson and his team. Sergts. Warren, Thomas, Hipshire, Web and several others say they will right dress all comers on the rifle range for the coin. Besides many excellent rifle shots, the troop has a reputable baseball nine. All the old timers in this regiment and many in other regiments remember the crack team the troop had in 1902. No other troop, battery or company team in the army had any chance of winning against this one. It was said that probably one or two of the regimental army teams could outplay it. But this, on account of it being impractical for it to meet the teams in question, was not proven. The names of those on the present nine and their several positions are as follows: Web, left field; Smith, center field; Wright, pitcher; Viena, catcher; Washington, short stop; Newton, first base; Tisdell, second base; Dixon, third base; Harris, right field. The troop has also some very good comedians. The most noted among them are Mastin and Wright, comedians and buck dancers. First Sergeant Craig of the troop is waiting for his retirement papers to return, having served, with his double time, over thirty years. The men of the troop wish the sergeant all the success and happiness that it is possible for him to enjoy in retirement. Blacksmith Turner is the next oldest soldier in the troop. The blacksmith has served 25 years straight and a little over 3 years double time. He is the oldest and best blacksmith in the army, so says Dr. Edwards, who is an authority on the trade. Next among the older men of the troop is Private Goldin. This man quit the army a little over 20 years ago. He made up his mind to re-enlist and came to Troop A about three months ago. Having served his first five years in Troop E, when he suddenly became dissatisfied a few weeks ago, he transferred back to the old home. Sergt. Hague of the troop received WHILE THEY LAST Music. Prelude, "Offertoire in F," Battmann. Chorus, "I Want to Be True," Gabriel. Duet, "Thou Art the Way," De Vere. Anthem, "Let Us Go Now Even Unto Bethlehem," Hopkins. Offertory, "Interlude in C," Marchant Kyrie, Hiles. Postlude in D," Marchant. The instruction class continues to grow in size and interest. All persons contemplating membership with this church are asked to avail themselves of this opportunity. Every Wednesday night at 9 o'clock is the instruction. In spite of the inclementy of the weather last Sunday, the services, from a point of attendance, finance and spirituality, were above the ordinary. The mothers rendered a most acceptable program. The men's Bible class that was postponed from organizing last Sabbath will be affected tomorrow at 10 a. m. The congregation and friends are once more reminded through these columns of the appointed time to raise our funds for renovation purposes, being the last of May. Your co-operation to finance this work successfully will be appreciated. Denver. Colo. I had suffered with bronchitis, loss of appetite and lost flesh for almost a year until I started taking the Twentieth Century Wonder Tea. 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. I had been confined to the bed from ten to twelve days before taking the Twentieth Century Wonder Tea, and I believe too much cannot be said in its praise. I cheerfully recommend it to anyone suffering from bronchitis and lung trouble. MRS. BEATRICE DENSON, 211 Clarkson St. Sold by J. J. Bates, manufacturer, 2910 Glenarm place, Denver.

The recent address delivered by Miss Nannle H. Burroughs in Pittsburgh in the interest of the Young Men's Christian association was fraught with hope and encouragement. He sound logic in urging vigorous and correct manhood sent a thrill of admiration through the audience. Miss Burroughs' theme was "Be a Man." which she handled in a masterly way. The address was reported by Miss Elizabeth Jones and appeared in the Pittsburgh Courier of April 27. CHEYENNE NEWS. a letter from Sergt. Major Robinson, who retired a few weeks before Christmas. The Sergt. Major says that he is having great success in his practice of Mechano-Therapy, the drugless healer. He says that he has as many patients as he can handle well. The friends of the sergeant major throughout the regiment are glad to hear from him and hope that he will continue to be successful in the practice of his profession. The Y. S. C. club has made a hit among members of the post. It is made up of some of the fine young men of talent. They say that they are the grieflemen of Troop E. They are handsome and graceful dancers, and are constant entertainers. The following is a roster of its members: Benjamin Winston, president; Roy Tisdell, vice president; Hezekiah Tumpkins, treasurer; Otis Brooks, secretary; Hezekiah Tumpkins, critic; Ernest Edwards, Luther Lewis and Walter Harris, sergeants at arms; Creg Taylor, counsellor; Samuel Blanton, Dean Washington, Robert Perkins, Elander Webster, William Johnson and James Smith, wardens.

P. and now has to attend retreat with his troop every evening. Private Walker of Troop G showed great fortitude when he was cut almost to death last Friday. While the blood was streaming from his face and neck he quietly took some tobacco from his sack, rolled a cigarette, and smoked it as if nothing had happened to him. Mr. Griffin of Troop D has contemplated going to Australia to punch cattle when his enlistment expires. Sergeants Bailey and Watkins took examination last week for first class sergeants in the Hospital Corps. It too kthem and all others who have taken this examination the entire six days of the week to answer their questions—some exam., isn't it?

And any female not related to a male member of the order may become a member of the Household, whose application is endorsed by five inmates of the Household. We are by no means selfish; we wish to increase and perpetuate our Household; thus we have opened every way possible for good women to become Ruthites. The foundation of this order is based upon the principles of peace, happiness and prosperity. And while it seeks no rivalry, yet it strives nobly to be much in evidence with the promoters of friendship, love and truth. A leading principle of our order is firm hope in the future, which all its teachings and ceremonies inspire. Here and everywhere are the Households of Ruth. Here in this fair city of ours are two, Nos. 375 and 4130, composed of women of intellect and knowledge of homes and of esteem. By associating with such women there is real culture and refinement to be gained. One gets the sharp angles and rough corners of his nature and manners broken off. He acquires a degree of self-confidence he learns something of gentility and politeness by the action and influence of social current, just as the stones on the sea beach become round, smooth and polished through the continued friction of dashing waves. Without fair Ruthites the world would still be in the darkness of superstition. The nation's crown of glory is its good women. The order's precious jewel is its Household of Ruth. All though our worth is not appreciated and acknowledged, we are in power. Woman's true place is by man's side and if she does not occupy that place of trust and influence, she herself is largely to blame. The object of our institution and order is the advancement of our common humanity in wisdom, virtue and happiness, to associate for the promotion of friendship and unity, to make provisions against the calamities of life, and to extend the helping hand to all in the time of need. Without the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows the Household of Ruth would be no more. The relation between us and them is so intimate that whatever affects the welfare of one directly and indirectly affects the welfare of the other. The union of these two great orders means comfort to the widow, a help to the destitute brother and sister and the rearing of the poor orphan children. Its mission will not be accomplished till every man is elevated to the highest type of manhood and every woman an clothed with that virtue and modesty which will make her an angel on earth. We appeal to all Odd Fellows to help us to see to it that every wife, mother, sister and daughter of good moral character become a member of the Household. MRS. DAN WALKER THE JUVENILES Denver, Colo. May 12, 1912. Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 2320, Arapahoe Lodge No. 2936, Past Grand Masters' Council No. 118, Denver Patrarch No. 67, Denver Lodge No. 8646, Household of Ruth No. 376, Household of Ruth No. 4130, Juvenile Society No. 871, GREETING: It is with pleasure that we, the Juvenile Society No. 871 of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, come into this annual service for the first time. Believing that since we are so recently organized, you will wish to become familiar with the juvenile branch at large, and our own society in particular, we introduce ourselves briefly as follows: The juvenile branch is established in pursuance of a proposition adopted by the Grand Household of Ruth at St. Louis, Mo., in August, 1891, and reaffirmed by the representatives to the fourth quadrennial session of the Household of Ruth at Chicago, August, 1895, and approved by the eighth B. M. C., the forty-third general meeting at Indianapolis, October, 1896, and all children between the ages of 3 and 16 years are eligible to membership and shall be admitted, provided their mother, father or guardian gives consent. The object is to provide by monthly dues and assessments a fund for the purpose of assisting in defraying the funeral expenses of its members, the payment of weekly allowance during sickness, for providing medical attendance for the members, and to provide such a sum as will be required to enable each member attaining proper age to join any Lodge or Household he or she may prefer in the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. Our society, No. 871 of the G. U. O. of Fellows, came into existence through the instrumentality of Sister Carrie Johnson of Household of Ruth No. 376 of the G. U. O. of O. F., who, in her usual apt way, on securing a copy of the general rules and regulations of a juvenile society from a visiting sister to our city, saw at once the great possibilities for a juvenile in Denver. Accordingly, she presented the matter before the Household of Ruth No. 376, at their regular meeting Sept. 12, 1911, and after a thorough discussion, it was voted to set up a juvenile. Money was set apart for the purchase of a charter, and three supervisors were elected to take charge, Sisters Lizzie Williams, Mary E. Holmes, Margaret Stamps. They began at once in a most busi-ness-like manner the task of setting up our society, and by a systematic plan soon had it fully organized and working perfectly. Too much cannot be said in praise of their untiring of forts, and here we take the opportunity of publicly expressing our heart felt thanks to them, to her whose thought gave us life, and to their Household for the loving care which has been bestowed upon us, and earnestly entreat the same interest in the future, which shall help us to grow into worthy members of the mother Household of Ruth. This organization was completed Dec. 23, 1911, with 24 children as charter members, and during the four months of our existence we have taken in 13 new members, making a total of 37 children in good standing. The treasurer's report shows at the present time cash on hand $28.80. Our motto is "Innocence, Hope and Virtue." Another year we hope to be able to report a widening field of labor and steady growth of which you may be justly proud. If it is in place for such an infant to wish its elders well, we do most heartily desire for you all a successful and harmonious coming year, in appreciation of our recognition here. THE ODD FELLOWS We are a small part of a mighty and aggressive order. It leads all in number of members, lodges, households, finances, good deeds, charity, and a long line of illustrious and noble men and women who gave us a great heritage. Let us be worthy of the trust imposed upon us. Wherever, therefore, the Order of Odd Fellows has a home its object is to bless mankind by leading them through friendship to love and uniting all in the bonds of truth. We have met today in an annual thanksgiving to return thanks to Him who doeth all things well, I appreciate very highly the honor that has been conferred on me upon this occasion. I realize much is expected of one who is so honored and I will do the best I can to merit the same. My subject will be upon the sublime principles of our order, namely, Friendship, Love and Truth. It requires no stretch of thought to understand our constant and earnest interest in everything which concerns our environments. The position we are to definitely assume and maintain in the distinctive American civilization now in process of formation, is yet concealed in the womb of futurity. We can neither anticipate nor force it against the period of its advent. Moreover, our shortcomings, like the shirt of Nessus, are not only with us ever, but they are on constant exhibition to shame, mortify and humiliate us. While it is not sensible to shut our eyes to these painful reminders of the obstacles to our progress, while it is best to invite a searching scrutiny of them to the end that they may be torn off by heroic methods if need be, after all, an occasional study of our strong parts is a help in the struggle. In the theme I have chosen for my subject, I shall endeavor to show that the sublime principles of our order properly applied in our every day life will adapt us to be classed among the "survival of the fittest" in the family of races. Our motto is: Do unto others as you would have them do to you. Friendship is the close relation one has for his fellowman; it goes from one to another until in its flight it causes men to stick together and bear their portion of the burden in the heat of the day, and when in need they are ever ready to come to your rescue; in fact, it is a golden knot tied with an angel's hand. Love is that divine attribute handed down from the mighty Jehovah. God is love because He is the author and finisher of it, and to be like Him we must love one another as He loves us. Love should beat in the breast of every honest man; matters not what your task or vocation may be in life, learn to apply to it this great principle, love. Love thy neighbor as thyself, thy enemies as thy friends, virtue above passion, moderation above excess, but above all, love thy God with all thy heart, mind and strength. Last, but not least, comes the greatest of all principles, truth, without which your life is but a blank. If you wish to be honored, be truthful; if you crave for success, be truthful; if you wish to build up character and standing in your life, be truthful. Truth and knowledge lend a charm to youth and dignify the man. "A dreary place would be this earth. The song of life would lose its mirth. If there was no friendship, love and And one boundless love To accomplish this in age or youth, You must practice Friendship, Love and Truth." Fraternally yours, C. S. MUSE, P. S. Denver Lodge No. 8646, G. U. O. of O. F. GREATEST MEN IN HISTORY. Final List Includes Favorite Sons of Many Nations and Races. Mr. W. T. Stead, the brilliant editor of the Review of Reviews, London, has recently published the results of an inquiry to determine who are the greatest men in history. Mr. Stead sent out letters to distinguished men in all parts of the civilized world and received about thirty replies, giving the names of 150 persons whom they considered the greatest of mankind. The result of the voting showed that there was a wide diversity of opinion. Shakespeare led, with a list of twenty-three votes out of a possible thirty. Next to him, but a good way behind, came Columbus. Continuing, Dr. Stead states: "It is worth noting that out of the hundred most noted men in history America, according to vote, contributed ten. Of these ten one, Booker T. Washington, is a Negro. The other: nine Americans who were counter among the greatest men were Benja GRACE HALL CARPENTRY ERNEST HOWARD SHOP 1021 21st STREET Phone Champa 752 RES. 353 W.

The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

The following is a list of the twenty greatest men in history as made up from the lists, with the votes for each: Shakespeare, greatest of modern poets. 23 Columbus, discoverer of America. 17 Gutenberg, inventor of typography. 15 Newton, founder of modern astronomy and physics. 15 Jullus Caesar, the Roman emperor. 14 Darwin, founder of new science. 14 Dante, father of poetry. 13 Dante, father of locomotive. 12 Michelangelo, painter-sculptor. 10 Franklin, discoverer of electric forces. 10 Abraham Lincoln. 10 Watt, inventor of steam power machines. 10 Moses, early theocratic civilization. 9 Homer, ancient poetry. 9 Budda, founder of Buddham. 9 Aristotle, ancient philosopher. 9 Socrates, Athena, philosopher. 9 St. Paul, founder of Christianity. 9 Confucius, Chinese philosopher. 8 Luther. 8 The analysis of these reports brings out some very interesting results. Of those who have taken part in this symposium eighteen belong to the English speaking world. They represent all classes with the exception of the clergy of the Church of England, none of whom has contributed to the symposium. It is interesting to note the distribution of great men among various nations. As most of those who contribute to the symposium are English speaking men, it is only natural that we have more than our fair proportion in the final twenty. These are Shakespeare, Newton, Darwin, Stephenson, Watt, Franklin and Abraham Lincoln. Italy contributes Columbus, Julius Caesar, Dante and Michelangelo. Ancient Greece contributes Homer, Aristotle and Socrates. There are two Jews, Moses and St. Paul; one Chinese, Confucius; one Indian, Buddha, and two Germans, Gutenberg and Luther. France is left out altogether; so are Spain, Russia and the great Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations. Even when the whole 150 named by the contributors to the symposium are subject to a similar analysis it will be seen that there is a preponderance of English speaking men with fifty-seven out of the 150. The other countries represented are seventeen from Italy, fifteen from Greece, seven from Germany, thirteen from France, ten from the Jews (crediting the sons of Israel with Lord Beaconsfield and Spinoza), four from Sweden, three from India, two each from Carthage, Holland and Spain, one each from Arabia, China, Norway, Persia and Egypt. It is curious to note that only six votes each were given to Napoleon, Washington and Oliver Cromwell. PENN SCHOOL CELEBRATES FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Occasion of Joy For All-General Robert Smalle Speaks. The recent celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Penn school on St. Helena island, South Carolina, the oldest institution of learning for colored people in the south, was the occasion of much joy and satisfaction for faculty, students and friends of the school. It was in April of 1862 that Miss Laura M. Towne of Philadelphia arrived on St. Helena island. She was among the first of that little band of public spirited men and women who responded to the call for missionaries and teachers for the newly freed slaves of the sea islands many years ago. With the capture of the forts on Hilton Head and Bay Point, S. C., on Nov. 7, 1861, by Commodore Dupont these sea islands had fallen into the hands of the Union forces. The need of help in superintending the gathering of the valuable cotton crop and in teaching the people how to live and work under the new conditions of freedom was imperative. To this work Miss Towne devoted her life. In June of the same year her friend, Miss Ellen Murray, joined her, and together these noble women lived and worked for the Negroes of St. Helena until the death of Miss Towne in 1901. Miss Murray continued her work on the island until her death in 1908. The first day of the celebration was the people's day, when the people of the island greeted the guests who came from a distance. Hundreds of the former students of Penn school marched into Darrah hall as a body. The procession was headed by the veterans of the First South Carolina volunteers, afterward known as the Thirty-third United States colored infantry, the first regiment of Negro soldiers enlisted into the service of the United States. The speaker of the day was General Robert Smalls, the slave pilot of the planter which carried off the steamer which was chartered by the Confederate government from Charleston harbor and delivered it to the federal fleet. After the meeting in Darrah hall there was given in the school grove a simple rehearsal of the scene which took place on Jan. 1, 1863, when the enamulation proclamation was read for the first time in the grove near the Old fort on Port Royal. Two flags were presented to the regiment and the school by J. R. MacDonald, a merchant of the island. The drummer on this occasion was General Robert Smalls, who had also been the drummer on that first enamulation day fifty years before at Port Royal.

AMERICAN CIVIL AFFAIRS THE STATESMAN-8 WEST VIRGINIA'S IDEAL SCHOOL OWNS LARGE LAND ACREAGE. Work of Trades and Agricultural School, Which Affords Superior Advantages, Briefly Told—National and State Educators Are Interested In Plans For Model Farm. Institute, W. Va.—Agriculture, carpentry, printing, blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, painting, plain sewing, millinery and dressmaking are the things claiming the attention of the race at the West Virginia Colored Institute, which is located just seven miles from Charleston, W. Va., and is one of the best equipped schools in the country. From every section of the state are the 251 young men and women, and there are some from several other states who are students at this school because of its superior advantages. At the head of this institution is Professor Byrd Prillerman, who boasts of advancing from slavery to the presidency of a great school. Professor Prillerman's boyhood days were spent around his birthplace, which is not far from Charleston, on a farm. With a strong mind and body he entered the county school to prepare for usefulness. He taught school for a short time, but soon found that in order to be a real teacher it was necessary to acquire more of an education; hence in 1882 he entered Knoxville college, from which he graduated with honor in 1889. On his return home he was selected to teach in the public schools in Charleston, and when it was decided to establish the West Virginia Colored institute he took a prominent part in the movement. He succeeded the late J. McHenry Jones as president of the institution. "Progress" has been the motto of President Prillermann. Many have been the improvements, made since 1908. On the campus are a number of good, substantial buildings. A BYRD PRILLERMAN. new heating plant has been installed so that all the buildings are heated by steam. The people of West Virginia are fortunate in having the state school so conveniently located. It may be reached by boat or railroad. It is surrounded by land owned by members of the race, some owning large tracts. The enrollment increases every year. Newcomers seeking opportunity to educate their children are buying land near the school. It is a source of inspiration to one to visit the school and view the surroundings. It is well equipped to teach mechanical industries, domestic science and the like. The A. B. White trade building is one of the best in the country. The facilities for teaching agriculture stand second to none on the seventy-seven acres of land owned by the school. It is the purpose of the United States commissioner of education and the state boards of West Virginia to make agriculture one of the leading features of the school. With this end in view the board has recently engaged an expert from the United States government to co-operate with President Prillerman and Mr. Curtis in devising means by which the institute farm may be put in the best possible condition and made a model for the farm in the immediate community. Already the schools from which some of the teachers graduated have been mentioned. Professor Prillerman got his degrees of master of arts from the Westminster college; Professor S. Hamlin Guss, principal of the normal department, took his bachelor degree from the Ohio university; Mrs. Fannie Cobb Carter, who is regarded as one of the best training teachers in the country, comes from Oberlin; Mrs. C. E. Mitchell, who has charge of the music department, is a graduate from the New England Conservatory of Music and last summer studied at Columbia university; James M. Canyt from Tuskegee and A. W. Curtiss from Cornell university. In recent years summer schools have been one of the features, and many young men and women who teach in the winter months take advantage of the summer sessions. The best available instructors in the country are employed. Among them age such noted men as Drs. Du Bois, Washington and Kelly Miller. HOWARD HONORS GEORGE W. COOK Testimonial Banquet Largest Function Ever Given. FEATURES OF THE OCCASION. Prominent Citizens, Statesmen and Educators Pay Homage to Worth and Work of Man Who Has Won Distinction as Secretary of Howard University In Washington. Washington. — The testimonial banquet in honor of Professor George William Cook held recently in Miner hall, on the campus of Howard university, was the largest function of its kind ever known in the District of Columbia. Covers were laid for over 200 guests, and the dining hall was crowded to its utmost capacity with appreciative friends of the energetic secretary of Howard university, representing the best brain and culture of the Negro race in the world. Professor Cook has been identified with the institution for thirty-nine years, and a more fitting recognition of his valuable service, efficiency and the esteem in which he is held by the people of the community could not be conceived. Hon. William H. Lewis, assistant attorney general of the United States, was toastmaster, and his speeches, abounding in rich witticisms and flights of real eloquence by turns, justified the wisdom of the promoters in selecting him for this arduous task. Toasts that sparkled with humor and carried information of much value, eulogizing in felicitous and sincere fashion the central figure of the occasion, were responded to as follows: "Howard as She Was." Rev. Logan Johnson; "Our Guest as a Citizen," W. Justin Carter of the bar of Harrisburg, Pa.; "Howard as She Is." Professor Kelly Miller; "Our Guest as an Educator," Professor Dwight O. W. Holmes of Baltimore. To all of the many expressions of commendation of his efforts to place Howard in the front rank of educational centers and to exert his influence toward the advancement of civic righteousness Professor Cook feelingly responded, taking for his theme "The Two Seals," relating the story of how the university came to have two seals and describing the sublime spirit of human and national uplift for which they stand. His outline of the work that Howard has done since its forty-five years of existence was intensely interesting, and the larger portion of the historical data presented at first hand was new to many of the guests. His happy tributes to such eminent founders of Howard as General O. O Howard, John M. Langston, Dr. Robert Reyburn and others evoked hearty applause. Professor Cook's address is voted by his admirers to have been the most comprehensive study of the university yet given to the public, and it marks the orator's high water mark in forensic quality. At the close of Professor Cook's speech he was presented with a beautiful bouquet of American Beauty roses, the gift of the ladies of Howard university. Just before he spoke the audience was keyed up to the spirit of the hour by the rendition of a song, "Howard-I Love Old Howard." by the Howard academy quartet-Mesars. Charles Howard. Charles W. Preston, Gonzalo James and Lynwood G. Koger. Congressman N. E. Kendall's Address. One of the truly delightful treats of the evening was the graceful and encouraging address of the Hon. N. E. Kendall, member of congress from the "Buxton district" of Iowa, who was present as a special guest, coming at the direct request of his friend and alumnus of Howard's law department. Mr. G. H. Woodson, now a practicing attorney in the state of Iowa. Mr. Kendall saw in this gathering a promise of great things for the Negro race in the future. He believes that color prejudice is gradually disappearing as the black man gives continued evidence of his ability to cope with the best brain and brawn of America and is getting hold of the elements that make for higher civilization. He said he would not have missed this occasion for anything, as it was a distinct "eye opener" to him, well acquainted as he is with the colored people in many sections of the country. It was his final suggestion that the young men and women who come to Washington to secure advantages in education not obtainable elsewhere go out into the west and south and carry their cultivated talents to those of their people who stand in the greatest need of their illuminating touch. Congressman Kendall struck a popular chord and was cheered to the echo. The closing feature of the program was an original skit. "Facts and Figments," by Messrs. Robert A. Pelham and Shelby J. Davidson, assisted by Mr. Herbert D. Myers, who operated the lantern and slides used to illustrate the points brought out by the humorists. Many familiar scenes with which Professor Cook was connected in his work at Howard university were shown to a decided advantage, including portraits of the university workers. The portraits of Dr. W. P. Thirkield, Hon. J. C. Napier, Dr. W. C. McNeill, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Dr. W. A. Warfield, following those of General Howard and Professor Cook, were given a hearty greeting.
