Cheyenne and Fort Russell Happenings Twenty-Third Year Cheyenne Fort K CHEYENNE, WYO. Mrs. Mary Palmer's funeral was held here Tuesday at the A. M. E. church. Mr. Watkins, of Denver, Colo., and all the surviving members of the family, except Mrs. Grace Wilds, of Chicago, Ill., were present. By request of members of the family, Mrs. James Smith sang Mrs. Palmer's favorite song, "Saved By Grace." Miss Virgil Gaskin has been given a position as clerk in Truckey's dry goods store. Miss Gaskin is the first colored lady that has ever held such a position in this city. She, there fore, certainly is to be congratulated. The many friends of Miss Mamie Caves, who recently went to Council Bluffs to live, heard from her last week. Miss Caves writes that she likes her new home very much. Mr. John Baker, of Dee Moeen, I will make his home in our city. He is a brother of Joseph Baker of this city. Mr. Wm. McKinley, who was dis missed a few days ago from St John's hospital, had another accident with his eye and had to return to the hospital. Mrs. Joe Baker received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Speerman, who went to Detroit, Mich., saying that they were doing well. Mrs. Frank Gaskin and daughter, Francis, and Mrs. Edwards and son Lloyd, spent the Fourth in Fort Collins with Mr. and Mrs. Goodall. The Sweetheart Club met at the home of Miss Eunice Asford lae Thursday evening, Progressive Sweet heart was the fun of the night. The games were very interesting. Mrs. Ashford and Miss Jefferson won first prize. Others participating were the Misses Robinson, Thistle, Ashford, Gaskin, Messrs. Bailey, Caves, Phillips. Miss Rena and Eva Johnson of Grand Island, Neb., are the guests of the Miss Palmers of the South Side. On the evening of the 4th Mrs. Simon Smith entertained the Palmer family at dinner. Mrs. Henry Cooper, an old resident of Cheyenne, died very suddenly Saturday morning of heart trouble, which was a great shock to her friends. Miss Eva Johnson was called home to Grand Island, Neb., on account of the death of a cousin. Miss Eva Palmer expects to make her home in Denver with her sister, Mrs. Lander. Mrs. James Smith entertained the Misses Johnson and Palmer family at dinner Saturday. FORT RUSSELL, WYO. The champions split even with the Sunrise aggregation. If the home boys had not been so tired and somewhat worn out from being on the road, it is very probable that the Sunrise bunch would have been walloped in both games, just as has happened on each occasion that our boys have met them during the past two years. Saturday Troops A, B, C, D, I, K and L left for maneuvers at Pole mountain. Fully 200 ladies were out to see them off. As soon as the rear end of the column cleared the immediate garrison, column of masses was taken and pounding on the back began. This formation and gait was changed only when an obstacle of some kind made it necessary before reaching Lone Tree ranch. This ranch is fifteen miles from the Post. The mounted command arrived there at 1:45 p. m. and went into camp. Eight companies of the Eleventh infantry, which departed at 7:00 a. m., reached Lone Tree about 12 o'clock, and were under their shelter tents when the cavalry came in view. As soon as the two squadrons marched pass the dough boy camp, they were halted and ordered to pitch shelter tent. Immediately after this was done the mess ergeants and cooks, who were already waiting, issued hot lunch fresh from the inevitable "fireless cooker." When all the work about the camp was finished, the boys cooled out for a short while. After this the quartets in each troop were in evidence and sang a few melodious tunes. The boys then went to spreaded blankets and had a very pleasant sleep. The march was resumed the following morning. The command passed the foot soldiers on the road about 9 o'clock, and reached Pole mountains, which is said to be twenty-seven miles from Lone Tree, at 12. When the squadrons arrived within a mile of their camp the wind blew so hard that the boys thought they is occupying the camping ground that the Eighth cavalry used last year. Everything is very convenient. But the mosquitoes are bad near the streams. The water has a great deal of alkali in it. 'GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO. Mrs. Wm. Slaughter and daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Napier of Denver are visiting in our city. Rev. Fant of Grand Junction will hold services here next Sunday in the Methodist church.

RARE SKILL OF BEN BANNEKER How Inventor of Clock Rose From Obscurity to Fame. IAD MANY HARD STRUGGLES. Ramarkable Record of Man Who Achieved Greatness Nearly Two Centuries Ago Almost Single Handed. Won Success by Dogged Persistence. Was Possessor of Strong Memory. The biography of Benjamin Banneker as given by John H. B. Latrobe and published by the American Negro Monographs company, in Washington, is worthy of the most careful reading. Professor John W. Cromwell is the editor of series No. 3, which contains a full account of Banneker's achievements. Benjamin Banneker was born in Baltimore county, Md., near the village of Illinois's Mills, in the year 1732. His father was a native African and his mother the child of natives of Africa, so that to no admixture of the blood of the white man was he indebted for his peculiar and extraordinary abilities. His father was a slave when he married, but his wife, who was a free woman and possessed of great energy and industry, very soon afterward purchased his freedom. Banneker's mother was named Morton before her marriage and belonged to a family remarkable for its intelligence. When upward of seventy she was still very active, and it is remembered of her that at this advanced age she made nothing of running and skipping like a child. A nephew of hers. Greenbury Morton, was a person of some note withstanding his complexion. Prior to 1809 free people of color possessed of a certain property qualification voted in Maryland. In this year a law was passed restricting the right of voting to free white males. Morton was ignorant of the law till he offered to vote at the polls in Baltimore county, and it is said that when his vote was refused he addressed the crowd in a strain of pure impassioned eloquence which kept the audience that the election had assembled in breathless attention while he spoke. When Benjamin was old enough he was employed to assist his parents in their labor. This was at an early age when his destiny seemed nothing better than that of a child of poor and ignorant free Negroes, oceaupping a few acres of land in a remote and thinly peopled neighborhood, a destiny which certainly at this day is not of very brilliant promise and which at the time in question must have been gloomy enough. Attends Country District School. In the intervals of toil and when he was approaching or had attained manhood he was sent to an obscure and distant country school, which he attended until he had acquired a knowledge of reading and writing and had advanced in arithmetic as far as double position. In all matters beyond these rudiments of learning he was his own instructor. On leaving school Ben, as his friends were wont to call him, was obliged to labor for years, almost uninterrupted, for his support. But, his memory being retentive, he lost nothing of the little education he had acquired. On the contrary, although utterly destitute of books, he amplified and improved his stock of arithmetical knowledge by the operation of his mind alone. He was an observer of everything that he saw or which took place around him in the natural world. He sought with advidity information from all sources of what was going forward in society, so that he became gradually possessed of a fund of general knowledge which it was difficult to find among those even who were far more favored by opportunity and circumstances than he was. At first his information was a subject of wonder among his illiterate neighbors only, but SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1912, by degrtes his reputation spread through a wider circle. Benjamin Banneker, still a young man, came to be thought of as one who could not only perform all the operations of mental arithmetic with extraordinary facility, but exercise a sound and discriminating judgment upon men and things. Invents Clock at Thirty Years of Age. It was at this time, when he was about thirty years of age, that he contrived and made a clock which proved an excellent timepiece. He had seen a watch, but not a clock, such an article not yet having found its way into the quiet and secluded valley in which he lived. The watch was therefore his model. It took him a good while to accomplish this feat, his great difficulty, as he often used to say, being to make the hour, minute and second hands correspond in their motions. But the clock was finished at last and raised still higher the credit of Banneker in his neighborhood as an ingenious man, as well as a good arithmetician. As already stated, the basis of Bancock's arithmetical knowledge was obtained from the schoolbook into which he had advanced as far as double position, but in 1787 Mr. George Ellicott lent him "Mayer's Tablets." "Ferguson's Astronomy" and "Leadbeater's Lunar Tables." Along with these books were some astronomical instruments. J. E. SHEPARD'S NEW HONOR. National Religious Training School's President Now a Doctor of Divinity. Muskingum college, Ohio, recently conferred the honorary degree of doctor of divinity upon President James E. Shepard of the National Religious Training school located in Durham, N.C. Dr. Shepard is the only man of the colored race to receive such recognition from the president and faculty of this institution. While Muskingum is one of the smaller colleges, it is recognized everywhere as being a great one. The late President Harper of Chicago university, Dr. Morehead, dean of Xenia Theological seminary; Dr. Lawrence, Hon. W. J. Bryan's pastor; Dr. McCleman of the great Presbyterian church, Pittsburgh; Rev. J. Walter Liggitt and a host of others are graduates of this college. The institution boasts of the fact that 55 per cent of its male graduates are either in the ministry or the missionary work of the world. Such an honor as this coming to Dr. Shepard is a tribute worthily bestowed. CONFERENCE AT HAMPTON. Prominent Educators and Social Workers to Meet July 17. The sixteenth annual Hampton conference will be held at the Hampton (Va.) institute on July 17 and 18. The program will include reports from county school supervisors, facts from the 1910 census, work of the Negro Organization society, discussion of problems relating to health, agriculture and religious life, work of school administration, recreation and amusement in rural communities. Prominent white and colored social workers will deliver interesting and helpful addresses. All persons interested in the work for the betterment of their communities are cordially invited to attend the general and round table meetings of the Hampton Negro conference. Rewards Man Who Rescued Children. By his keen foresight in stopping a team of frightened horses in Philadelphia recently Shedwick Waters, Jr., of Paschall, Pa., saved the lives of more than half a dozen children. As a token of gratitude for his services Mr. Waters was awarded the sum of $5 and a vote of thanks by those interested in the welfare of the children. Larger Benefits For Sons of Virginia. The board of directors of the Society of the Sons of Virginia has recommended an increase in the benefits due financial members when ill and claim due to the helps of deceased financial members.

MEETING HELO IN ORANGE ‘Thirty-eighth Re re of Time Honored Missionary Body Atténded by Thousands—Reports by Delegates In- dicate Progress of the Denomination. Washington Selected For geie Orange, N. J.—The thirty-eighth an- nual meeting of the New England Bap- tist missionary corvention, which clos- ed its sessions in the Union Baptist cbureb in this town on Monday, June 17, was the largest held for many years. Delegates representing the va- rious phases of the work in eleven states were present and made encour- aging reports of their achievements. ‘The convention was in session five ays and transacted a deal of business. President William A. Creditt, LL. D., presided over the deliberations until the new officers were elected and in- stalled. ‘The welcome on behalf of the ministers’ conference of New Jersey was delivered by the Rev. Dr. J. O. Love of Montclair and on behalf of the white people by the Rev. Mr. Hol- den of Orange. ‘Phe Rev. Dr. John F. Patterson, pas- tor of the Central Presbyterian church, welcomed the convention on behalf of , Ne | ee ee ee \ his denomination. His remarks, as did the former speakers’, elicited much applause. “The day has passed,” said Dr. Patterson, “when high walls are needed to separate evangelistic effort. On the foreign field there is more Christianity than athome. The church- es in this community have achieved much good within the past few years, and I congratulate them for their good work.” Mayor A. B. Seymour sent a cordial letter of greeting in which he author- ized Dr. Lawrence, pastor of the church, to extend to the delegates and visitors the freedom of the city in bis behalf. The response to the various addresses on behalf of the convention was made by Dr. William A. Harrod. corresponding secretary. Annual Sermon Thrills Great Throng. ‘The annual sermon to the convention ls always looked forward to with un- abated interest. It is a pertinent fea- ture of the opening session, and the fact that on this occasion it was to be preached by the Rev. William Mau- rice Moss, successor of the late Dr. William T. Dixon in the pastorate of the Concord Baptist church in Brook- lyn, was reason for special interest. It was Dr. Moss’ first appearance on the program of the convention. His subject was “Our Indebtedness.” The words of the text were taken from Romans i, 14, from which Dr. Moss de- Mvered a masterly sermon filled with ehought and spiritual inspiration. His theme was “I Am Debtor.” With this thought in mind be drew tears from the eyes of the vast audience of up- ward of 1,700 as he told of the suffer- {ngs of Christ for man’s redemption and the triumphs of Christianity over Béethen customs and creeds. ‘The next feature of the program for the Grae dos, “was the annual election of officers. Owing to the lateness of the hour a motion was made to post- pone the election until the next day. ‘The chair announced the appointment of the various committees, which in- cluded the committee on time and place for holding the next annual meeting.

Dr. Creditt dwelt at length upon the importance of look- ing after the educational aad religious needs of the home field. fe laid great stress upon the complex problems of education and maintenance of the tn- stitutions directly dependent upon the denomination for Snancial support first of all.

Mr. Haynes is also director of ye National League on Urban Conditions ‘Among Negroes, with headquarters in this city.

Houston as an Educator. HAS SERVED IN MANY FIELDS. Legislative Body of Educational System in Washington Gains Zealous Worker—Achievements of Appointees as Former Head of Odd Fellows, Able Lawyer and Business Man. Washington.—William L. Houston, a prominent attorney at law in this city, has been named as a member of the board of education to succeed Dr. W. V. Tunnell, professor of history in Howard university. Mr. Houston has signified his acceptance of the trust and announces that he will give to the public school system of the District the best service he is capable of rendering. The appointment gives great satisfaction to all classes in this community. As he is in harmony with the present officials, the advent of Mr. Houston on the board is regarded as the beginning of the end of the fractional divisions that have long given uneasiness to those who have had the best interest of the 15,000 colored children in the public schools at heart. The term for which Mr. Houston has been appointed is three years. The board is made up of nine members, of whom three are colored. They are Lawyer R. R. Horner, Mrs. Carrie Wilder Harris and the subject of this sketch. Mr. Houston is an active force in the professional and social life of the nation's capital. He is a young man of fine intellectual attainments and sterling character and is an orator of pronounced ability. He is perhaps best known throughout the country for his brilliant administration as grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. He served two A. E. WILLIAM L. HOUSTON, ESQ. terms, during which time the order is said to have reached the high water mark of its existence. The membership was increased to over 500,000 during this period, and large gains were made in property holdings. At the fifteenth B. M. C., held in Baltimore in 1910, he was made an associate justice of the newly created supreme court of the order for the eight year term. His friends are now insisting that he stand as a candidate for the office of grand secretary at the sixteenth B. M. C. which meets in Atlanta, Ga., next September. Mr. Houston came to Washington after a season as a schoolteacher in Evansville, Ind., to accept a clerkship in the war department and filled the position with credit and distinction for several years. In the meantime he had graduated from the law department of Howard university. Anxious to gain experience in the legal profession, he resigned from the government service to enter a partnership with Counselor Edward H. Morris in Chicago and quickly earned for himself an enviable place at the Illinois bar, carrying all the while the arduous duties of grand master of the order. Returning to Washington for permanent residence, Mr. Houston has in a comparatively brief period built up a lucrative practice and is ranked with the ablest members of the bar of the District of Columbia regardless of race or color. In addition to his active labors in the Order of Odd Fellows, Mr. Houston is a master Mason and is identified with numerous other fraternal and civic organizations. He is a member of the A. M. E. church. His wife, formerly Miss Mary Hamilton of Wilberforce, O., is also a potent factor in the social and religious activities of the city. The family circle is completed by Master Charles Hounston, an unusually bright lad, who graduated with honors from the M street high school, winning a scholarship at Amherst, where he is now making a proud record. Entering upon his duties with the heartiest approval of his admiring fellow citizens and imbued with the highest ideals with reference to the education of his race, the people of the District of Columbia may expect at the hands of Mr. Houston a service that will be painstaking, conscientious and productive of golden results to all concerned.

WAGE EARNERS AND THEIR PAY Comparison Between Home and Foreign Laborers. PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS. Industrial and Economic Conditions Which Confront the Afro-American Population In Pennsylvania Emphasized by Professor Wright—Definite Suggestions For Practical Workers. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Philadelphia—All through his book, the exact title of which is "The Pennsylvania Negro—A Study In Economic History," Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr. makes comparisons with the foreigner, or, as he calls him, the immigrant from the south and the immigrant from Europe. By this comparison he proves conclusively his well known theory that the Negro problem is not, as is often supposed, a problem of crime, ignorance, etc. Whereas the illiteracy of the Negroes of Pennsylvania decreased from 27.1 per cent in 1880 to 15.1 per cent in 1900, that of foreigners increased from 17.8 in 1880 to 19.9 per cent in 1900. In his treatment of crime he lays down several fundamental principles usually overlooked by those who write and speak on the crime of Negroes and concludes with a detailed study of the history and present status of crime among Negroes in the state. Concluding the chapter on Negro occupations, Dr. Wright observes: "There are more than 75,000 Negroes living within this state who were born outside its borders and who immigrated here between the ages of fifteen and fifty years, being, therefore, chiefly ablebodied workers. "The state of Pennsylvania expended nothing whatever for their care during infancy and childhood and but little for their education, but it reaps the benefits of their toil. Unlike the foreign immigrants, these Negroes did not have to learn our language or become used to our national customs. As a rule, the Negroes are contented laborers, seldom attempting to disturb the industrial equilibrium, never developing anarchists or even violent Socialists. "Their long suffering during slavery, their religious temperament, their childlike faithfulness and their wonderful adaptability are calculated to make them a valuable asset to any community. * * * They are cheap laborers because of their difficult circumstances only. Much that they ought to receive in wages goes to society as a part of its surplus. Negroes have laid most of the asphalt pavements in the state, helped to construct its sewers, subways and filter plants, and if they have been underpaid the taxpayers got the benefit. * * * Many public improvements for the state are made by Negroes whom the state did not train. "Again, the Negro immigrants, unlike many foreign laborers, come to make this their home. Their savings are put in property and in the banks of the state, and what they spend is spent here. * * * Economically, considered from the point of view of the state, the Negro has been a profitable acquisition. Dr. Wright, in his conclusions, treats all the principal problems connected with Negro life, giving a general definition of the problem—what it is, what it is not and its treatment. This chapter is valuable because it furnishes definite suggestions for practical workers. Illustrating the problem, he cites: "A Negro girl who graduates from our high school with high honors, winning a scholarship to a leading university, from which she also graduates with honor, comes home to her native city, but she cannot teach in her alma mater, though positions are secured for white girls who stood lower than she and whose education is less complete. "She must go south to teach. A bright young Negro wins the Cecil Rhodes scholarship and represents Pennsylvania at Oxford university. England, but his friends are at a loss to find for him an opportunity in his native city and state, notwithstanding there are large opportunities for white boys having fewer scholastic honors. --- ATION RATES: ..... $2.00 ..... 1.00 ..... 50 ers sent to subscribers are lost or stolen ber when due, inform us by postal card dicate of the missing number.

The greatest need of the Negro is economic freedom and economic justice. This is all the Negroes should desire. It is not a bid for charity or for hostility. It is only to be permitted to enter American rivalry, to go down if incompetent, to die out if weak, to go up if capable. "It is the desire to have the same rules by which whites are judged applied to the Negro, to be a part of an industrial democracy. To give him this desire is most difficult. It requires the most profound economic foresight or the highest religious devotion, or both. It is the common ground of political economy and the teaching of Jesus. "For, indeed, it is easier to 'give one's body to be burned,' to give alms to the poor, to speak wisom, to write learnedly, than to give simple charity, which is an attitude of mind rather than a material gift." The appendix to Dr. Wright's book is brimful of statistics of the Negro population, occupations, education, immigration, property holdings, etc. Our Letter Box "ROOSEVELT—CAN HE ORGANIZE A PERSONAL POLITICAL PARTY?" This is an address delivered by Attorney W. B. Townsend of Denver, before the Colored Republican League, Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 4th, 1912. Mr. Townsend said in part: There is an attempt to organize in this country a new political party. If it is done it will be an extremely difficult task under any circumstances, and it will require a great outlay of money for "legitimate expenses." It would have to present an issue which stirred the convictions of the people throughout the country and which was ignored or neglected or inadequately recognized by both the regular parties. There would have to be something like a crisis to give it vitality and perfect success either immediate or far distant. The situation would have to be such as to incite a spontaneous movement in many states, if not in all states, which appeals strongly to a large part of the people, if there was to be any hope of success in a first campaign. Organizations would have to be formed and supported by these people in several states, districts and localities. It would not be created, directed and financiered from any one center or by any small body of men. Is there any such situation confronting the people now? Is there anything that can be called a proper uprising, due to urgent issues of any kind and the failure of either party to accept them? There were what we call "Progressive issues" with which we have been familiar for some months, but they have not been overlooked or neglected by either party. The Republican party at Chicago recognized them and adopted a modified conservative progressive platform, and President Taft, who was renominated, has always professed to be a progressive and has given fair evidence of being so in most important respects. The Democratic party has vied with it by being more emphatically progressive in the sepsse now given to that term, only stopping at the precipice of extreme radicalism. It has gone as far as any considerable part of the people have demanded or will sustain the movement. While ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, who is trying to start and to lead a new party because he was defeated in his efforts to obtain the renomination for a third term at Chicago has been more violently radical in his avowed principles and purposes than anybody else, he has presented no real issue which would differentiate his third party from others to win any strong support. The fact is, that his "fight," as he and his followers delight to call it, has been personal from the beginning, teeming with abuse for all who do not agree "with the man on horseback," the only man who an Ananias club, who has used the words "brigand" and "thief" to the end that he might be a personal dictator of this republic. It may be admitted that Roosevelt set out to lead the party with which he has heretofore been identified, along progressive lines, from convictions ("the eleventh-hour convictions") of the wisdom of its taking such course, but made the mistake of assuming that he alone was capable of guiding and inspiring it and that to accomplish his purpose, he must be a candidate for president again. He did not wait Cinchinnatus-like for the voice of the people whom he whoops about must rule, to call him from seclusion at Oyster Bay. He set out to make himself the candidate and used every art and devise of the shrewd and resourceful politician to --- THE STATESMAN accomplish his purpose. In his exalted estimate of himself and in the exuberance of his unlimited ambition and desire to be the people's ruler and in his eagerness in the fray into which he cast himself, he lost his moral balance and sense of proportion and said and did things and countenanced them in the conduct of his supporters which were flagrantly dishonorable according to all recognized standards and such as he has condemned in others. In short he has conducted a "personal" campaign and not a campaign "for the people." If he had been nominated it would have been a "personal" triumph. His failure was a personal defeat. He has determined to retrieve himself by organizing a personal party, a Roosevelt party, to support "me," "Roosevelt," as a candidate for president for a third term without any distinct policy affecting the interests of the country. Can the herculean taks of forming and financiering such a party be per formed without a prospect of any thing but humiliating failure? There is no likelihood that the established organizations of either party in any state can be captured. There would have to be a national organization with committees, and an organization in states with committees, headquarters, bureau of publicity and speakers, campaign literature and workers, the expense would be great and funds would not be easy to get, unless the "Interests" which have been so friendly to Roosevelt's ambition would generously donate. At any rate, such an organization must have zeal and activity coming not only from Oyster Bay, New York, but generally over the country. With a third party, the utmost that can be hoped for, is success in a few states where radicalism is rampant and where the name of Roosevelt is used to conjure with, in spite of all the adverse influence of reason and old attachments. It will be proved that not even with a man possessing the colossal egotism and self-confidence of Mr. Roosevelt could find that a political party can be built in this country upon the personal claims of any man who belongs to no party and who, like a ship in mid-ocean, is shoreless, soundless and rudderless. If I may advise you my friends, I would say to refrain from joining any new party, but remain in the Republican party which is sane, sound, progressive and safe and was founded by the lovers of human liberty.

OKOLONA HOST OF EDUCATORS CAUSES OF SLOW PROGRESS. Mississippi Association of Teachers In Colored Schools Holds Sixth Annual Meeting and Declares For Better Educational Facilities—Success of Holtzclaw and Battle. Okolona, Miss.—A group of earnest, hardworking, race loving men and women known as the Mississippi Association of Teachers In Colored Schools recently met at the Okolona Industrial school in this town. It was the sixth annual meeting of the association. If there is any class of professional persons on earth who should be well nigh discouraged it is the average colored schoolteacher in the south. One is apt to get used to thinking of the lot of the president of a school as an easy one, as that of a man who has nothing to do but to raise money, but such is a mistaken idea. Then, too, some unscrupulous agents have been going north with such frequency, taking toll of the charitably disposed people with such regularity, that the path of the honest educator is, to say the least, an uncomfortable one to travel. To all this add the inequality of school facilities in the average southern state, add the anxiety that is occasioned the earnest teacher when he knows that he must bring about results with unequal facilities and unequal pay, and you get an idea of the situation. For example, in his annual address before the Mississippi Association of Teachers In Colored Schools President J. A. Martin, himself an educator, now PRESIDENT W. A. BATTLE. serving as president of the state school in Alcorn college, called attention in a vigorous manner to the inequality of pay and consequently to the inequality of service rendered. It is folly to expect good teachers to work on an average salary of $19 per month. Addressing themselves seriously to this matter of unequal school facilities, the members of the Mississippi association have contributed individual sums of money, ranging from $5 to $20, to furnish an organizer for the various county associations, who in turn will send representatives to the annual state association, hoping thereby to perfect plans for the betterment of schools with or without state aid. This does not mean by any means that these teachers acquiesce in the policy of discrimination in educational matters that is practiced so flagrantly by the school authorities and sanctioned, for the most part, by the people. They are determined that if the state authorities in any manner deny them the proper educational advantages they will see to it that the colored children are provided with proper school facilities. In the statement which the teachers have sent out to the public they make a strong appeal to the county superintendents and the state superintendent for better financial provisions for the colored people, better equipment, larger salaries and closer official supervision. But while asking these things from the forces that have all along steadfastly denied them the teachers are taking steps themselves to do their part. William H. Holtzclaw, corresponding secretary of the Teachers' association, has built up at Utica, in the central portion of the state, an institution that has reached and is reaching thousands of our people throughout that section of the state and is bringing to them intellectual and industrial freedom. On the other hand, Wallace A. Battle at Okolona has erected the Okolona Industrial school, which teaches regularly more than 400 students, has a well equipped plant, a well regulated farm and shop and is the guiding star of thousands of the race who live just around it. There can be no discounting the value of the work of these two young men, one a Tuskegee graduate and the other from Berea college The fact remains and is so recognized by the leaders of the Mississippi Colored Teachers' association that just such work as this is the kind that must be done by teachers throughout the south who would help their people. The awakening to this necessity, a sort of return to self help, is the most refreshing sign that friends to Negro education have seen in many a day.

Gentlemen: I want to give you a short history of my condition so that others who have the same trouble I had may know there is a cure for rheumatism. In July, 1909, I noticed that I had inflammatory rheumatism. In health I had weighed 152 pounds; I dropped to 120 pounds. After being confined to the bed for two and a half months a friend recommended Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. In the summer of 1910 I began to take it. At this time, April, 1911, I have been well and robust for five months. My appetite is good and my weight is 140 pounds and not a trace of the old trouble remains. I have taken six bottles of the Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. If you want to refer anyone to me I will gladly express the merits of this medicine. Sold by J. J.

The work of the African Methodist Episcopal church in Africa is carried on by many able men, whose achievements have resulted in the salvation of many souls. Three of the presiding elders of districts in Africa were present at the recent session of the general conference held in Kansas City, Mo. They were the Rev. S. H. Simamela, presiding elder; Rev. A. S. Gabushane and Rev. Malkinya, presiding elder, of Pretoria, Transvaal, Bloemfontein, Orange Free State and of Izell-Frankfort, King William's Town, South Africa. The Bethel institute at Cape Town, South Africa, was founded by Bishop Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia several years ago. It is in a flourishing condition and is doing a great work of uplift among the natives. The influence exerted upon the natives by the school gives the missionaries a decided advantage in their efforts along religious, industrial and educational lines. The clergymen mentioned here were guests of Bishop and Mrs. L. J. Coppin and Mrs. L. D. J. Mors at their home in Philadelphia for a week previous to their return to Africa about the middle of June. They are well educated and speak six different languages, including English. A reception was given in their honor before they left Philadelphia for New York, from which point they sailed on the White Star line.

Pittsburgh.—Interest In the work of Bethel A. M. E. church continues to grow. The Rev. Dr. P. A. Scott has thoroughly demonstrated his ability as a leader during bis brief pastorate in this city. The membership of Bethel has been largely increased and plaus perfected for the full development of all departments of the church. On his return from the general con- ference of the A. M. B. chureh, recent- ly held in Kansas City, Mo., Dr. Scott delivered a most excellent discourse to the congregation, taking for his sub: ject “Echoes of the General Confer- ence.” ‘The address covered a wide field of thought and activity touching the work of the denomination. Dr. Scott said in part: “My trip to Kansas City covered a period of three weeks. I was charmed with the scen ery as I passed through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. I was especially impress- ed with the evenness of the landscapo and the richness of the soll. Upon reaching the Union station in St, Lou- is I was especially attracted by the beauty and grandeur of that great structure, which I believe to be more Throw Away Your Old China eecera™ pce CO | GET ONE OF THE DINNER SETS The Statesman OFFERS ITS SUBSCRIBERS INSPECT THEM IN OUR WINDOW Sold for Half Store Price Suitable for Presents just the Thing for Company magnincent than the Union station iD Washington. “1 visited many of the places of tn: terest in this great western metropolis and admired its beautiful buildings. but noticed that they are not so high as the bulldings In many eastern citles. Upon inquiry I was informed that the strong winds that frequently strike that section make it unsafe to erect buildings to such extreme heights. “I reached Kansas City safely and found it to be a ‘thing of beauty’ as It giittered in the matchless gleam of ‘® western cloudless sky. I was driven to Allen chapel, a most beautiful church edifice, the seat of the confer ence. There I met the brain and cul- ture of the great African Methodist church from all parts of the world. Not only were there ministers, but all the professions and walks of life were represented by the laity. “The activity of the women delegates to the conference was very marked. ‘They took part in every phase of the work and displayed much experience and good judgment in the discussions following the various reports and ad- dresses. The address of Dr. Booker T. Washington was listened to by a great throng of some 10,000 people. His sub- ject was ‘Tho Mission of the A. M. B. Church to the Masses of Our People.’ “A great chorus of 150 singers under the direction of Professor Jackson of the Western untversity, at Quindaro, Kan., made the music for the occasion. I am sure I have never heard such music. Mme. Marie Burton of Chicago was one of the singers and displayed marvelous vocal powers. Starting with tones soft and soothing, her voice rose and swelled and rolled until it filled the great convention hall with wou- drous volume. It has been said that the west produces the finest voices, and the musical features of this conference seemed to completely verify the clalm. “An interesting feature during the closing week was music rendered by a brass band of colored women. They were fourteen in number, and their manipulation of the instrumeuts was superb. While listening to them I chanoht it) Piennid: eatabitetoausle a: band among the omen of my race 10 Pittsburgh. 3 would be bighly gratt- ted. “1 wish to thank all who helped to make this trip possible for me and feel sure tbat any one who will at- tend these great gatherings will be more than repaid for the time and ex- pense of such a trip.” Rev, Scott carried his audience with delightful rapidity in thought from Pittsburgh through Oblo, Indiana, Hill- pois, Missouri and Kansas into Kansas City and through the business of the general conference.

Se Ieee Cee Pat niet eeeD hither Oem State, Ready For Distribution, Scholarship of Author In Evidence. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Philadelphia—included in the June output of periodicals published by the A. M. B. Book Concern in this city is Dr R. R. Wright's long expected volume, entitled “The Pennsylvania Negro—A Study In Economie History.” ‘The book is the result of Dr. Wright's sociological investigations made while he held the research fellowship in so- ciolozy at the University of Pennsyl- ‘vanin. 2 ‘The book contains 250 pages, is neat- ly bound and shows the excellent handiwork of the Book Coucern. Fill- ed with facts and figures showing the marvelous progress of the Negro through many years. It ought to be ip the home of every family of the race. ‘The author treats after the careful manner of a thoroughly trained mind the various present day problems of the Pennsylvania Negro from the point of view of his historical deyel- opment. He not only asks, for exam- ple, what is the amount of crime anfong Negroes, but what is the his- tory of Negro crime in the state and what are the various agencies tending to produce crime, The chapters are: “Slavery In the Colony of Pennsylvania.” “The Aboll- tion of Slavery.” “The Free People of Color In Pennsylvania Prior to 1860,” ‘The Negro Population Since the Civil War.” “Ocenpations of Pennsylvania Nexroes.” “Their Business Enter: prises.” “Ownership of Property,” “Churches and Secret Societies,” “Ed- uecation of Pennsylvania Negroes,” Nexto and Crime," “Poverty Among Negroes.” “Interracial Contact and So cial Progress,” Illustrating the method and material used by Dr Wright. the following quotations are to the point. Under the chapter of “Slavery In the Colony of Pennsylvania” he says: “When the colony of Pennsylvania was founded by Willinm Penn, Nezro slavery was a recognized institution in the new. world. The Dutch and Swedes who set- tled along the Delaware had slaves. But whence they came Is uot exactly known “It is known, however, that as enrly ‘as 1639 an offender, one Coinclesse, was sentenced ‘to serve along with the blacks’ of South river (the Delaware) and in 1677 one lames Sunderlands is said to have been a slaveholder ip the Delaware neighborhood. * * * Phe Penn colony arrived in 1682 Though there is no record of any of them owning slaves-at that time. It I probable that slaves were early pro- cured by many. “James Claypoole, an Englishman, upon deciding to come to Pennsylvania fn 1862, wrote, ‘Advise me in thy next what I might have two Negroes for’ * * * William Penn himself owned slaves * * * The Peunsyl- vania colonists procured thelr slaves chiefly from the West Indies.” Sum ming up his chapter on slavery, Dr. Wright says: “On the whole, as com pared with other colonies, slavery In Pennsylvania was mild. Yet there was a distinct status.” Dr. Wright's discussion of the Negro Slaves’ legal status is exhaustive and exceedingly scholarly. He concludes by pointing out some of the legal dif ferences between Nexroes and whites: “As to morals, for exumple, It was tak en for granted that the Negro bad but few and was punishable for offenses against morals only when whites were Involved. for adultery a white person was Imprisoned one year and fined £50, but there was no penalty for Negroes committing this crime. * * * Ne groes were punishable by death for five offenses, whites for only oue. Ne zroex were usually whipped for minor offenses, while whites were fined.” ‘The most thrilling chapter is that on “Phe Kise of the Free People of Color,” showing the work of that magnificent group of anti-slavery men and women of color as they strove to lift them selves and their fellows to a higher plane of civilization. Ip introducing chapter 4 Dr. Wright says, “The civil war marks distinct break In the history of the Negro population of Pennsylvania, causing a decided change in its chur ucter.” There was n less selected kind of Negro immigration from the south Newer avenues of Inbor and opportu nities for self expression caused the better cliss of Negroes to remain at the south. Another influence was the neglect of the northern Negro by the northern whites, who were so buxy attending to the needs of the southern freedmen that they forgot the brother at their doors. ‘The Negro population, however, grew very rapidly after the war. the Negroes congregating in the citfes.
