THE STATESMAN
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 5, 1912.
Twenty-Third Year
The Ninth Calvary Upholds Its Honor
Sir:—Knowing that many readers of The Statesman who are relatives and friends of members of the Ninth Cavalry, have read much since our departure from Cheyenne that tended to lower our character as a whole, as well as cast a slur upon the good name of the regiment which has been maintained for so long a time. I am glad to deny the many infamous statements as appeared in some of the leading papers of the country.
The people of Colorado are dependent upon the product of the farm and the mine for their prosperity. The manufacturing interests of the state are relatively small. Therefore the tariff is all important to us, especially those sections covering sugar, lead, zinc and the like. Between the protection position on the tariff on these products and the democratic, there is a great difference, one so great that a change from the present protective tariff to one affording less protection would destroy Colorado enterprises engaged in their production. This is not a campaign bugaboo raised to gain votes, but is the result of a lower tariff accepted even by democrats, who are driven to defend their position by the claim that the loss in selling value will be offset by the cheaper cost to the consumer. If the state consumes equally as much of protected products as it produces, such an argument would have force, but Colorado produces far more raw material than it consumes. Therefore democracy really proposes to destroy dollars in saving us dimes.
I do not claim that the personal character of every man of the regiment is of good standing, nor above reproach, but I do claim that the conduct of the regiment as a whole has been as good as might be expected of so large a number of men no matter what their standing in life. A local paper of Trinidad had an account of two saloons being routed and taken charge of by the Ninth Cavalry, which statement was false. The same paper stated that upon checking up fifty of our number was absent, which was also false. Many other like statements, untruthful and based without foundation, appeared in some of the leading papers of the country, to the chagrin and disgust of every self-respecting member of the regiment.
Troops E, F, G, H, I, K and L are in camp at Douglas, Arizona, about 700 yards from the border line. The other five troops, A, B, C, D, and M are distributed along the Arizona border over a distance of 80 miles.
We have small groups of men post- ed near the border line both east and west of Douglas, covering a distance of 18 miles. These men are on duty both day and night, and are supposed to prevent the smuggling of arms and ammunition across the line from the American side, and to return the fire in case of bullets from the Mexican side falling on American territory. Agua Prieta is just across the line from Douglas and is not more than one-half mile from our camp. This town is at present occupied by a federal force, said to be 1,500 strong. It is a supply town for the federals, and for the same purpose is much coveted by the rebels.
Colorado democrats make much of the humanitarian measures which they support, they talk loud of their opposition to trusts, they raise a deal of noise about government by the people, but the question that strikes right at the heart of Colorado's prosperity, they leave severely alone. The people would be glad to have all political questions settled right, but in the meanwhile they must live, and not be sacrificed when foreign producers shall come into control of the markets we formerly supplied. Colorado settlers have invested their all in land and the cities as well as the farms depend upon a continuation of the conditions that make our land profitable. We must disregard all other issues and make sure that we live.
Last Sunday morning our camp was thrown into a state of excitement by the call "to arms," which was sounded because of a large force of rebels marching on Agua Prieta. A big battle was expected between the two Mexican forces, but as they have been warned that any firing into American territory will be returned by American soldiers, and that our regiment, including the machine gun platoon was prepared for action undoubtedly averted a clash between the two forces, for after we had formed in line near the border, heavily laden with arms and ammunition, the rebel commander withdrew from the immediate vicinity of Douglas and the border.
One thing that impressed me very much was the great courage and bravery displayed by my comrades. While we waited in position for the first shot from the Mexican side to fall into the U. S. to commence what would have terminated in a pitched battle between the Ninth Cavalry and Mexican rebels not a man showed the least sign of fear, but on the other hand presented their usual happy go-lucky mood, thus demonstrating that they know nothing of fear or cowardice and that they will acquit themselves with credit and uphold the fighting qualities of the Negro no matter what or who they be called upon to face.
For colored citizens the danger of democracy is a double burden, for not only must we suffer what it does to the whole state, but we must face the extra menace of the withdrawal of the Constitutional amendment that make us citizens. The monstrous injustice is proposed that we shall live whole generations in this country
For just that brief moment I felt proud to be a soldier, but as we can be appreciated and respected only when we are on the battle field I sometimes regret that I ever donned the uniform of a soldier.

and be denied the benefits that a foreign immigrant can get upon a mere declaration made within a few years. More than one bill has been introduced into Congress to set the machinery in motion for the repeal of the war amendments, and one southern democratic aspirant for the United States Senate made his campaign upon that issue. This is a step far in advance of disfranchisement by state constitutional amendment. So long as the United States Constitution has said that we are citizens, though tricks have been played with the letter of it, and we have been denied what it is generally understood to mean, there has been a feeling among the whole people that proscription is contrary to the law and excusable only on the assumption of racial inferiority. When once the Constitution is amended however, we will be outside the law, and the voice of conscience will be lulled.

Many presents were received.
Readers of this paper know well that we are not given to waving the bloody shirt, and that we recognize the worth of some democrats and criticise the hypocrisy of some republicans. But we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that there is grave danger of a democratic victory in the nation next November. From all precedent we know that the members of Congress belonging to the democratic party will be assembled in caucus, and the majority of that caucus will rule. With southern democracy in the ascendency in that party as it always is, and with the party in the majority in Congress, with a democratic president bartering his approval for congressional concessions as all administrations do, the amendment to the United States Constitution is as good as done. Let those who doubt our prediction observe the race agitation that has troubled party national conventions this year.

WORK OF WELL KNOWN SCHOLAR
Success of Professor C. H. Boyer as an Educator. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES.
Career of Former Maryland Boy Who Has Won Prominence In Religious and Educational Circles In North Carolina—Latin Salutatorian and Member of Yale Divinity Quartet.
By GEORGE F. KING.
Raleigh, N. C.—One of the leading educators among the Afro-American people in this section of the state is Professor C. H. Boyer. He is a Yale university graduate, a successful teacher, modest, unassuming and loyal to the best interests of the race.
Professor Boyer is also a well known and popular layman of the Protestant Episcopal church and is thoroughly alive to the educational activities of this great denomination. He has done much to encourage the young men and women to go forward with their studies in order to be amply prepared to take their places as leaders among the masses of our people.
He is a native of Elkton, Md., and after graduating from the public school of his home town he entered the Institute For Colored Youths in Philadelphia, from which he graduated as Latin salutatorian of his class and also winner of the prize in English. He was greatly assisted and encouraged while a student at this school by Mrs. Fannie Jackson Coppin.
After teaching several years in Maryland he entered Hopkins Grammar school, New Haven, Conn., to prepare himself for Yale university. He graduated from this institution with high honors, winning the prize in oratory. As an athlete he became quite prominent at this period of his career. While in college he worked hard and was a member of the famous Yale divinity quartet, composed of such prominent men as the Rev. O. Faduma of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C.; Robert H. Bonner of Connecticut and Rev. Dr. H. H. Proctor of Atlanta, Ga.
Professor Boyer is a well rounded character and a churchman full of zeal and inspiration. While attending school in New Haven he was lay reader of St. Luke's Episcopal church for three years and a half and as superintendent of the Sunday school for four years did effective work in reaching the unreached. He was so highly esteemed by the citizens of New Haven that upon his graduation from Yale he was given a farewell reception and a substantial purse.
During the year 1896 Professor Boyer accepted an offer from St. Augustine school, this city, as the head of the collegiate department, and among the hundreds of young people that have received a large share of their training and inspiration from him are fifteen young men, now faithful priests in the Episcopal church. There is no man of Negro descent that is more highly respected in this community than Professor Boyer. He is full of civic, economic and rac. 1 pride and believes in the great possibilities of his people without compromising their manhood.
In 1911 he rounded his fifteenth year as teacher at St. Augustine, and a merited appreciation of his worth and service to humanity was evidenced by the school and some friends, who gave him an extensive trip to Europe, where he again accepted the opportunity to show that the kind of education that he had received should be given all men regardless of their racial identity if nature had so endowed them for service that required a college training.
Professor Boyer is secretary of the colored convocation of North Carolina and has helped to make the North Carolina Teachers' association a great educational factor in this section of the country. He is always for the material ascendancy of his people and will not subscribe to anything that will prove detrimental to the welfare of the masses of the race.
Hotel Accommodations In Baltimore. With the formal opening of Smith's hotel on Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, on Tuesday, Oct. 1, the colored people of Baltimore will have access to one of the finest and best equipped hotels owned by a member of the race in the United States. The building is a three story brick edifice 47 by 99 feet and is a credit to the skill and industry of its proprietors, Messrs. Thomas R. and Wallace L. Smith. The rathskeller, grill room and bar are on the first floor. The second and third floors are devoted to bedrooms, special suits and drawing rooms.
Good Work of Brooklyn Mothers' Club
The Brooklyn Mothers' club will direct its attention during the month of October to the task of raising funds to be used in connection with the proposed erection of a home for delinquent youths. In order to give the general public the opportunity of assisting in this worthy cause the club will give a musical and literary entertainment at the Cariton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association on Thursday evening, Oct. 31.
PROGRESS IN EDUCATION.
What Dr. Isaac M. Agard Has Accomplished at Tillotson College.
Modern educational methods as applied in the institutions and among the colored people of the south and southwest have resulted in notable advancement for the progress and uplift of the race, according to the report of Dr. Isaac M. Agard, president of Tillotson college, at Austin, Tex., and connected with the American Missionary association.
During the seven years that he has been at the head of that institution he has made a detailed and exhaustive study of educational work throughout the south, observations made forming the basis of numerous lectures and articles.
That Texas has a great future is his belief and also that the future of the colored people in the south and southwest is bright.
Much of this, in his opinion, will be due to the educational work being carried on by northern men and women. The result of their efforts can be noted from year to year and is a steady march of progress, a betterment in conditions among the people for whom the work is carried on and in the building up of that section of the country. The value of applying modern educational methods is noted in the rapid growth of Tillotson college since Dr. Agard has been at its head. Not only has there been a notable increase in enrollment, but the scope of work has been enlarged and a new concrete industrial building has been added. Other buildings are planned.
While he emphasizes the value of industrial education and instruction in domestic sciences, he does not consider that it should be taught to the exclusion of the details of the so called higher education. A general education, fitting for professional, home and business branches of life's work, is advocated. At present a movement is on foot to establish a fund for the full equipment of the new Evans Industrial
PETER H.
PRESIDENT ISAAC M. AGARD, building and the securing of new buildings. The industrial building is the result of a fund gathered in the north to meet the conditional bequest of Major Evans of Austin, a prominent business man and native of New Hampshire. For his work in the Lone Star State and studying conditions in the southland Dr. Agard was particularly well fitted for taking up the presidency of Tillotson seven years ago. Preceding this he was for over twenty years principal of the Rockville high school and superintendent of schools in that city. During his thirty years' active teaching in New England he became known as one of the most successful and progressive preparatory school headmasters with the Rockville schools as a monument to his efforts.
During that time he became well known throughout New England as twice president of the Connecticut Association of Classical and High School Teachers and as a member of the Connecticut council of education. The same quality of work which made him so successful in the east is responsible for his success in the southwest. People in Connecticut have a peculiar interest in Tillotson college on account of its having been founded by and named after Rev. George J. Tillotson, for many years a prominent Congregational clergyman of the state and having a pastorate in Wethersfield.
Believes in Future of Colored Race.
Hon. James T. Lloyd, a member of congress from Missouri, is now serving his seventh term in the national house of representatives. He comes from a district where there is a large population of colored people. He is well known to his constituents and commands not only their respect, but their confidence. He is that type of man who firmly believes in opening wide the door of hope to the colored people. He is broad minded, generous hearted, with an abiding faith in the future progress of the race, and readily accepts every opportunity to show his friendliness and give encouragement to those struggling for manhood's rights.
Progress of the Knights of Pythias.

AFRICAN ORIGIN OF EGYPTIANS
VIEWS OF DR. VON LUSCHAN.
Migration and Colonization Chief Among Many Causes Given For Amalgamation of Primitive Races. Anthropology of African and Pacific Islanders Pointed Out.
By JOHN E. BRUCE (GRIT).
A great many modern writers and not a few who wrote in an earlier period are disposed to discredit the African origin of the Egyptians, although their color, customs and other physical characteristics clearly indicate that if any race of people on earth came out of the loins of Ham these did.
Nothing seems to be more certain to those who have studied the question closely. Dr. Felix von Luschan, professor of anthropology in the University of Berlin, in an admirable paper before the first universal races congress, which met in London in 1911, approaches the subject with more cander and honesty than usually characterize the writings or the utterances of white men who have investigated this subject.
While we know or have been told that all the Egyptians are not white or brown or of any of the intermediate colors between white and black, we also know from those who have traveled in that country that the majority of its inhabitants are black and possess all the physical characteristics of the African.
Cause of Distinct Color Varieties.
The color of the Egyptian results, therefore, from the admixture of the blood of neighboring races with the African blood of these indigenous blacks. Professor von Luschan says:
"While the first varieties of primitive man were certainly formed and fixed by long isolation, later variations and races were caused by migration and colonization, as might perhaps best be shown by sketching the anthropology of Africa and the Pacific islands.
Just as Madagascar was peopled about 900 or 1000 A. D. by Indorean colonists coming from Sumatra, so untold ages ago the first inhabitants of Africa came from a place somewhere in southern Asia on the great line from Gibraltar to Australia. No skulls or skeletons of these earliest Africans are as yet known, but we may hope to find them sooner or later, as we already now know a good many sites of paleolithic implements in various parts of tropical and southern Africa.
The anatomical qualities of these first Africans will certainly be found to differ from those of aboriginal Australians, but in tens of hundreds of thousands of years the paleolithic African evolved into a real Negro. He exists in two varieties—a tall variety like the modern, Nigritian from the coast of upper Gulmen and a small one like the bushmen and the pygmies, now known in so many places in central Africa.
Third Race Makes Its Appearance. But I have already stated that we are as yet quite ignorant of the real home of these small races. To these two oldest elements in Africa was added ages afterward, but still in prehistoric times, a third one, the Hamitic. It is descended from the same ancient Gibraltar-Australia line, but was in a higher stage of civilization.
These Hamites had already a greatly refined language, with an admirable grammar closely related to that of the Semitic and Indo-Germanic languages. In Egypt they created more than 6,000 years ago the marvelous civilization we now admire as the mother of our own. Ancient Hamitic influences can be traced all through Africa. In Abyssinia, in Galla, Somali, and in Massaland we find even now Hamitic languages or at least Hamitic grammar and Hamitic types. In central Africa, in the region of the great lakes, we have the Hima and Tusi, generally as chiefs reigning over Bantu tribes, often with face and figure like those of the old pharaohs of Egypt.
Physical Features of Hamitic Type.
Even in South Africa nearly 1 percent of the actual Bantu population have high and narrow noses, thin lips and fine large orthognathic skulls of the Hamitic type, and all the Hotentot languages and dialects have a pure Hamitic grammar. Also the pastoral habits of many Africa tribes, their long horned cattle, spiral basket work, etc., are Hamitic, and all can trace Hamitic influence from the Nile to the Cape of Good Hope.
Still there are some Negroes and many, many white people in this country who profess to believe with a sort of pitying contempt that the African is an unpredeemable barbarian.
Rev. E. D. L. Thompson of Sierra Leone, West Africa, in his address before the Negro Society For Historic Research of Yonkers, N. Y., on the subject "Race Consciousness Race Ideal," said, among other things: "As the preponderance of the inhabitants of Egypt today are of unmixed African blood, we may I think reasonably conclude that these people are of African origin. Otherwise now are we to account for their black faces, crisp hair and other typical Negro physical characteristics?"

PURE SAVAGERY. { NEGRO CAMP WINS HONORS.
The extremes to which feeling
against Negroes is amply illustrated
by the lynching of a man inside the
Wyoming penitentiary who was
charged with rape. It is hardly con-
ceivable how men under lock and key
surrounued with armed guards could
do any act contrary to penitentiary
rules without the connivance and as.
sistance of the prison officials. The
lynching is a terrible indictment of
the officers of the law of Wyoming.
Were it only that it might be soon for-
gotten. But note how in the daily
press of Denver, and we presume the
same is true of other cities, there is
an appeal to race feeling made by
writers who tell of the harrowed feel-
ings of the Wyoming convicts when
they found themselves confined with-
in the same building as the black
rapist. A lot of cultured ladies, or
or intelligent, high class men, might
revolt. at such proximity, but it is
ridiculous to ascribe fastidiousness to
convicts some of whom are doubtless
guilty and under sentence for the
same crime.
‘The truth is that public sentiment
has not yet preferred to respect the
law where a Negro is supposed to
have transgressed, it has chosen to
satisfy its blood lust. It has chosen
to feed its race hate. It is willing to
gloss over its savagery with excuses.
The American people are the moral
support of the negligent Wyoming of-
ficials and the fastidious Wyoming
convicts. Mob murder in this case
was not due to any fear that the
guilty man would escape.
It is a dark prospect indeed when
such acts as this can be committed
and a thousand times the worse be-
cause there is no active sentiment to
brand them for what they are.

WEDDING BELLS.
| On last Saturday afternoon at 6 p.
m. at the residence of the bride's
brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs, C. D
Kemp, on Welton street, Father
Brown united in holy matrimony Miss
Vinita Kemp Westfield and Ernest
Maxwell Parks. In preparation for
the ceremony the home had been
beautifully decorated. The parlor was
embowered with autumn leaves and
-erapes, with the musician, a harpist
surrounded by palms. The friends,
tee early and after the cere
mony held an impromptu levee up un-
til 7 o'clock when Mr. and Mrs, Parks
went away on a bridal tour including
Oklahoma and Missouri points.
‘The bridal party consisted of the
bride, looking very sweet in marqui-
sette over pale pink satin, trimmed
with real lace. She carried a boquet
of lilies of the valley and bride's
roses. The bride's maid was Miss
Lena Barnes, who was beautiful in
a gown of chiffon over white satin
end carried a boquet of pink roses.
Mrs. Fannie Clark, the matron of
honor wore a handsome creation of
pale green satin and carried Ameri-
can beauties. The bride’s brother,
Augustus Westfield was best man,
Mr. Kemp gave her away and every
one in Denyer seems to have remem-
bered them with a wedding gift so
numerous were they. The larger gifts
began with a brass bed and $80 in
money and the list included silver-
ware, linen, china, costly and useful

NOTES OF THE ZION
BAPTIST CHURCH.
Tomorrow will be the winding up
of Zion’s Annual Rally, which with the
gleanings we expect to get at that
time, will make @ total of $1,500.00
[Witen all things aro: conaldered' thls ls
one of the most successful rallies
Zion has ever held. There is no ques-
tion that there are more good people
out of work; the cost of living is
higher and it is harder to get money
this fall than at any other period in
the history of Denver for many years.
The pastor and the boards desire to
commend the membership for the
loyalty and spirit of sacrifice which
were shown in this effort.
We are to be visited tomorrow by
Dr. Charles Stewart, one of the truly
great men of the race. Mr. Stewart
is one of the most forceful men before
the American people and is the only
Negro who is a member of the great
Associated Press, which position he
has held for many years. Dr. Stew-
art will occupy the pulpit at both
morning and evening services and at
5 o'clock in the afternoon will ad-
dress a meeting for men only at the
cbureh.
It is hoped that no man who ean find
it possible to attend will miss this
afternoon meeting. Dr. Stewart can
appeal to men as few speakers can
nd no man who hears him can re:
ceive other than a great benefit. ‘The
| subject is, “Whole Men or Fragments
—Whieh?”
Monday evening Dr. Stewart will
deliver his famous lecture on the race
question, “Sambo Waxed Fat and
Kicked.” ‘This lecture has been given
in all parts of this country and has
never failed to delight and instruct
the large audiences which are always
eager to hear this brainy black man.
Remember that the admission is free.
It will be interesting to the friends
of Zion to know we have information
from the Calvary officers that they
expect to break ground for the wunie-
ing operations on the new church at
sixteenth and Downing the middle of
next week. With good weather it is
hoped that the building can be rushed
to completion, which means that
Zion will be in line for an early move.
Mrs. Thenis Bush was hostess at a
card party given as a farewell to Mr.
and Mrs. Bob Kemp, There were
four tables in the contest, Dr. and
Mrs. McClain being the winners of
the gentleman’s and Iady’s prize. The
evening closed with refreshments,
topped off with some of Mr. and Mrs.
Kemp's inimitable songs and a round
of stories such as only he knows how
|to tell. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp have been
here nearly two weeks, playing the
first week at the Orpheum. Lately
they have been the guests of Mrs
Bush. While here they were the rect
plents of many social courtesies. For
jthe sake of good oid Texas, J. J.
Houston entertained him and several
other gentlemen at a stag Thursday
night that lasted until morning. Dr,
McClain’s home was the place. Mr.
and Mrs. Emmett Webster and Mr.
and Mrs. Franklin also entertained
them. They left yesterday for Sioux
City. E

Gentlemen: ey alle
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 in-
flammatory 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’ Twen-
tieth Century Wonder Powder. In the
summer of 1910 I began to take it.
At this time, April, 1911, I have been

appetite is good and my weight is 140

trouble remains. I have taken six

Resolutions on the death of Mrs. E.
N. Ward of the Mite’ Missionary So-
ciety of Shorter church
Whereas, We are at the eve of part-
‘ing with our beloved president, Sis-
‘ter Ella Nora Crosby-Ward. She has
gone {rom us, not to build and make
‘Bnotber missionary society in anoth-
er field of labor, but from labor to re-
ward. Grieve we must because we
lover her so and because grief goes
be from the bruised heart as natur-
ally as the scene from the flower, but
‘we will not question the infinite pur.
pose but will bow in bumble submis-
sion to His will.
Resolved, That in the death of Sis-
ter Ward we have lost the most effl-
cient president and leader the mite
missionary society of Shorter church
ever had. By her unswerving devo-
tion to its progress splendid executive
ability and Christian example, the
membership of the society increased
to an unsurpassed number whose in-
fluence for helpfulness extends be-
yond the community which she lived.
Resolved, That we, do not extend,
for that implies formality and cold:
ness, but give unreservedly loving
sympathy to the bereaved husband,
sons and daughter of our dearly loved
deceased president.
Resolved that a copy of these reso-
lutions be presented to the family, an.
other placed on the record book of the
Mite Missionary Society of Shorter
church, and another sent to the week.

“I regard the Tuskegee Institute as
the most considerable educational in-
vention of modern times,” writes
Professor W. L. Thomas, professor of
sociology in the University of Chi-
cago.
Industry is the spirit of Tuskgee
—industry and discipline are made a
habit. The choice of some 40 trades
are offered young men and young
women. Tuskegee graduates are
earning from $50 to $80 and $100 per
month as academic teachers, farm
managers, steam and electrical en-
gineers, tailors, teachers of domestic
science, nurses—in fact, the demand
for men and women trained in all the
trades at Tuskegee is far beyond the
supply.
The academic work is vital and
real; it is close to realities. The
school seeks soundness and efficien-
cy; the academic and industrial work
are closely correlated.
‘The spiritual work of the school
is strong. It ranks fifth in the United
States in number of students study-
ing the Bible. It is guided by a
Chaplain and a Secretary of the Y. M.
C. A. and through a Bible Training
School.

Success of Dr. H. M. Williams as Optician and Student.
Richmond, Va.—One of the most enterprising young men of this section, who is destined to take a high place in the affairs pertaining to the uplift of the race, is H. M. Williams, Jr. of this city, who is a graduate optician. Mr. Williams is the only colored optician in the city and stands high in the profession and by steady devotion to his work is succeeding in building up a lucrative practice.
His patients consist of some of the most prominent colored citizens of the city, many of whom are students and teachers of the Virginia Union university, in this city.
Dr. Williams ranks among the foremost in his profession and has givenample satisfaction to his patrons. He was born in Goldsboro, N. C., and waseducated in the public school of his

native city. He later entered Biddle university, from which he graduated in 1909.
While at Biddle he made a good record as a student and was prominent in Y. M. C. A. circles at the university. It was while at Biddle that Dr. Williams settled upon his life work, and choosing optics as his profession, he entered the National Optical college at St. Louis, from which school he received the degree of O. G.
He was among the brightest students of his class. He chose Richmond as his field of labor, and during his practice here he has succeeded in making many friends. He is well known in the business life of the city and takes a keen interest in all movements having for their aim the moral and intellectual improvement of the race.
Although well launched in a profession that is ennobling and offers wide opportunities for usefulness, Dr. Williams is taking a course in theology at the Virginia Union university. He believes in thorough preparation, and, while he has not fully decided to abandon his present profession, he has a decided leaning toward the ministry.
AVERY COLLEGE REOPENS
Many Students Are Enrolled—Changes in the Faculty.
The Avery College and Training school in Pittsburgh has reopened for the fall with a large enrollment of students. There are several changes in the faculty, but it is as strong and efficient as in other years.
Mrs. Mae Johnson, an instructor of large experience, succeeds Miss Nelson. Miss Olah Smith, a 1907 Avery graduate and a 1911 Tuskegee graduate, will succeed Miss Alexander. Miss Olivia Callis, a former teacher in the Baltimore city schools, succeeds Miss Randolph as the domestic science teacher.
Mrs. Melissa Bryant Fenderson returns to Avery school as an instructor
after an absence of seven years. John H. Esser, who has been in charge of the tailoring department for a number of years, has been succeeded by Mr. Justin Fest, a Frenchman. Mrs. Mary Robinson remains as matron, and the other members of the faculty are Mrs. Nana Lockwood, disciplinarian; Miss Minnie Curtis, training nurse, and Charles Bond, automobile instructor. The indications point to a large attendance at the school this year. Twelve states are represented among the dormitory students, and every room in the dormitory has been engaged.
Cuba as Gateway to Panama Canal. There is room in Cuba for thousands of farmers from the United States if they would only seize the opportunity open to them now to get a foothold on the rich farm land, much of which lies idle the year round. The opening of the Panama canal will cause land values to advance, because Cuba is the gateway to the canal, and financiers are already planning a new boom for Cuban real estate. With the opening of the canal property valuation will surely advance
The Best Remedy For Lawlessness.
When the people of the United States make a solid stand for law and order, mob violence and jincrow misfit accommodations on railroads and other public conveyances will come to a speedy end. But in order to bring about such a change it must be borne in mind that we must give our political support to such men as are in favor of full manhood rights, civil and political, for all the people regardless of race or color.
Well Fortified Business Concern.
The Afro-American Investment and Employment company, Kansas City, Mo. has a paid up capital of $15,000.
Mr. Fortune J. Weaver is president and general manager of the concern.
ENLARGING THE BUSINESS.
There are large changes going on in the Five Points Pool Room. Mr. Page is having the rear wall changed so as to make it more commodious. He has taken over the upstairs under lease, and plans to accommodate boarders with regular meals. The business has grown steadily along perfectly legitimate lines until it is a favorite pleasure resort out at the Points.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. 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.

CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB.
Rise of G. Dabayo Agbebi as Civil Engineer at Lagos.
Lagos, West Africa. - G. Debayo Agbebi, a young African gentleman who was graduated in 1911 with high honors from the University of Birmingham, England, as a civil engineer, has been singularly honored by the British government with an appointment as a native assistant engineer in the public works department at Lagos, West Africa, at a salary of £250 per year, with a rising by annual increments of £10 to £350 per year without quarters.
Mr. Agbebi was highly indorsed for this position by leading firms in Bir-
G. DEBAYO AGBEBI.
mingham and Stafford by whom he has been employed as a curb engineer. One of his indorsements reads as follows:
Birmingham, July 2, 1912
We beg to say that Mr. G. Debroy Agbei, who came to us from Birmingham university, was engaged with re-enforced steel construction of the new carbon works and press shops at the General Electric company, Witton; the extension of engineering works for the Armordoy company, Witton; new collarage and extension of bottling stores at Messrs. Ansells' brewery, Aston; also the new factory for Messrs. Canning company; extension of Messrs. Ward's factory; and re-enforced concrete bridge for extension of Messrs. A. & F. Parks' works over canal, etc., in Dartmouth street, with re-enforced concrete bridge. The total cost of these works exceed £30,000.
Mr. Agbei gave every satisfaction both to ourselves and to the engineers and architects concerned in the various works. He left us at the end of April to go to the Birmingham arm corporation. Mr. Agbei compiled a list of calculations of re-enforced concrete which we found most useful.
Let the black boys of American take fresh hope, aim high and hit the marks as this young African yet in his teens has done. These are the men to whom Africa is looking to hasten the coming of a better and a brighter day. Mr Agbebi will be located at Lagos, on the west coast, and will enter upon his duties in January.
OCTOBER CRISIS DEVOTES
MUCH SPACE TO CHILDREN.
Problems of Childhood and Lessons For Parents Ably Presented.
The Crisis Magazine issues for October a charming special number for children. There is a new Uncle Remus story direct from Africa and an article on "Books For Boys and Girls," which mothers will apreciate. Most interesting, however, are the hundred or more pictures of colored children. The baby faces appear on the cover, around the editorials and strewn through the articles until the atmosphere of joyous childhood pervades the whole magazine.
There are two serious articles, color problems in South Africa and Cuba, by expert writers. But perhaps the average reader will turn with greatest interest to the editorial discussion of problems of childhood, which every colored parent knows only too well. The editor says: "The mothers and fathers and the men and women of our race must pause and ask: Is it worth while? Ought children to be born to us? Have we a right to make human souls face what we face today?
"The answer is clear. If the great battle of human rights against poverty, against disease, against color prejudice, is to be won it must be won not in our day, but in the day of our children's children. Ours is the blood and dust of the battle, theirs the rewards of victory. If then they are not there because we have not brought them to the world, then we have been the guiltiest factor in conquering ourselves. It is our duty then to conquer the imporality of black blood in order that the day may come in this dark world when poverty shall be abolished, privilege based on individual desert and the color of a man's skin be no bar to the outlook of his soul.
"It is wrong to introduce the child to race consciousness prematurely. It is dangerous to let that consciousness grow spontaneously without intelligent guidance. With every step of dawning intelligence, explanation—frank and free, must come."
BISHOP WALTERS ON THE PROBLEM
Eminent Churchman Explains His Position In Politics.
Outlines History and Meaning of the True Principles of Government by and For the People—Human Slavery Not Chargeable to Acts of Any One Political Party.
"In advocating a division of the Negro vote I have met with severe criticism from some people that ought to know better," says Bishop Alexander Walters. "However, much of the criticism is unfounded. It is the same old cry heard in other days. 'Our raft is in danger.' Since I have nothing but the good of my people at heart I have nothing to fear nor need I be disturbed by the unjust criticism so freely indulged in in some quarters.
"It has been said that I desire all the Negroes to vote the Democratic ticket. I want nothing of the kind, nor have I ever by speech, letter or otherwise advised such a course. We should be as badly off politically as we are now if all the Negroes entitled to the franchise were to go over to the Democratic party. Our present political lills have largely come through the solidarity of the Negro vote.
"If Democracy stands for anything at all it stands for the brotherhood of man and the rule of the people. And the principles of Democracy will triumph ultimately. It is the light in our republic that is to shine more and more onto the perfect day. Its growth is continuous. The Negro, being a member of this great republic, will be a recipient of its blessings."
"Governor Folk of Missouri says:
"Democracy would have all unite in enforcing the laws and in counteracting any attempt to defy them. It would not array class against class, but would protect the rights of all by having each respect the rights of the other. It would not attack wealth honestly acquired, but would wage unending war against the privileges that prodice tainted riches on one side and undeserved poverty on the other side.
"It would protect property rights, but would recognize that property rights are best protected by preserving inviolate the public rights. It would not combat men, but the evil men do. It would seek as a remedy for existing evils, not less government by the people, but more government by the people.
"It would place conscience above cunning and the public good above private greed. It would not offer a man an advantage in the way of a subsidy or bounty or protective tariff, enabling him to make money at the expense of his fellow men, but it would assure him that it would give no one else such a special privilege over him.
"It would also guarantee to all an equal opportunity to live and labor and enjoy the gains of honest toll.
"I admit, so far as the Negro is concerned, the Democratic party has not lived up to its high principles. Human slavery has been the great stumbling block for which the Democratic party was not wholly responsible. Long, long before any Democratic party was formed in this country slavery existed here, and it was the economic value of the slave that caused the perpetuity of the institution.
"The southern climate, so much like the native habitat of the African, was suited to him and he to it. It responded to his touch, producing in abundance cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar cane, etc. He lived, thrived and made the southland blossom like a rose. He was considered a necessity, and schemes were devised to enslave him forever. Neither Federalists, Democrats, Whigs nor Republicans were responsible for its beginning, but rather the rulers of England who permitted the slave trade, thus enriching themselves.
"For a time slavery existed both north and south. The cold climate of the north made slavery unprofitable in that section, while the southern states formed a suitable field for slave labor in the production of its staple products. With this discovery came the defense of the system. And on and on it went until the system was hedged about with laws enacted by state legislature and the national congress. Next came the agitation against slavery by those who perceived the iniquity of the institution and that slavery was a menace to the continuation of the republic.
"The next act in the drama was the civil war, which resulted in the overthrow of the system. The party which accomplished this wonderful feat was the party of Lincoln, Seward, Sumner, Stevens, Grant and others—the Republican party. The Republican party having freed the slaves, there was nothing else for it to do but to make them secure in their freedom. This was done by the passage of the thirteenth amendment to the federal constitution, which reads as follows:
"Section 1.—Netter slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist in the United States or in any place subject to their jurisdiction.
"The wise statesmen who had led the party so far in legislation in the interest of the black man saw that it was necessary to go a step further and make the Negro a full fledged citizen."
