Denver Star

THE DENVER STAR The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star Owing to its length, this article is only reproduced in part, and taken from "The Harpoon" of February, a paper published in the interest of the Brotherhood of Postal Workers.—Ed. Following this article, appear two petitions which the temporary secretary has been requested to publish in this issue. Both petitions deal with the question of the negro in the service. The first was originated by Mr. Alva K. Richards, secretary-treasurer of Salt Lake Local No.1, B. P. W., and has for its purpose an amendment to the Constitution which would permit negro clerks to join the Brotherhood but would debar them from holding national offices. This amendment proposes further to grant to negro members the right to organize in segregated locals, unless the white members of any particular local should unanimously consent to have the negro members meet with them. Mr. Richard's argument is published hereinafter in connection with his proposed amendment, and the members are invited are to read the same, and if they desire to do so, to communicate direct with Mr. Richards at Salt Lake City. That the race question in the service in the South demands official attention, will hardly be denied by anyone conversant with the situation. The editor of this journal is a firm believer in the rights of negro citizens to pursue any vocation for which they are fitted, and to earn their daily bread in such vocations without interference. The law of the land entitles them to hold employment in the government service, and the fourteenth amendment to the constitution confers upon them the rights and privileges of citizenship. But a broad and tolerant view of the situation in the service in the South, compels the candid observation that segregation is the logical solution of a condition that has become grave; and from the information that has reached us, we believe that segregation would be welcomed by the negro clerks as well as by the white clerks. It is entirely natural that this should be the case. Throughout the entire South, and quite generally throughout the North, negro citizens have maintained their own churches, and every religious denomination in the South maintains separate churches for the black people ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION of its faith; and in many cases, separate schools. This does not spring basically from hatred between the races, we believe, but simply from racial differences more or less irreconcilable in their nature. A similar segregation could be effected in the service: if not by R. P. O.'s, it could surely be made by crews. In this connection, each member should give earnest consideration to the proposition proposed by Mr. Richards of Salt Lake City, which is segregated membership for negro clerks with the stipulation that no negro shall become a national officer in the association. Mr. Richards argues that the negro clerk could be "handled better within the organization than without," and the temporary secretary begs to suggest that if some method could be obtained within the Brotherhood of organizing the negro clerks, or assisting them to organize, for the purpose of advocating and advancing a policy of segregation, that a speedy solution of the race problem in the service might be reached. A Petition. To Hon. Albert S. Burleson, Postmaster General, Washington, D. C. Sir: We, the undersigned Railway Postal Clerks, respectfully request you to look into conditions confronting our branch of the service, especially in the South,—conditions relating to the indiscriminate mixing of negro and white clerks in crews in all lines throughout the country. We feel assured that the Service would be very much benefited and the standard of efficiency raised if the races could be segregated, the negroes placed on lines to themselves. In no other employment in the country are the races so promiscuously thrown together on equal footing as they are in the Railway Mail Service. In the army, negro soldiers are assigned to separate regiments. Whereas, in our branch of the Service, any working crew is likely to be half white and half black; and sometimes there is a negro clerk in charge. On long runs, where we are compelled to be together night and day, the conditions are sometimes disgusting, and have caused many a good clerk to quit the service rather than stay and endure them. Each car is provided with one wash-basin and one toilet facility, and every member of the crew is compelled to use DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1913. Now is The Time After much hard work by some and much wishing by many others, a real Y. M. C. A. with a regular secretary in charge with quarters, is about to be established. At Shorter church, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, International Secretary J. E. Moorland, will put the movement on foot and lay plans from which to work. The hearty co-operation of both old and young, male and female, is needed and we appeal to the community as a whole to come out and make the meeting a grand success. Every city of any size, except Denver has a Y. M. C. A. a place for the young men to go for recreation. The white organization is to give it support financially and otherwise, and it is now the duty of every negro to put their shoulder to the wheel and push. Come, parents, and bring your children. Come, boys, and bring your girls. Come everybody and bring anyone you can. the same in common. On lines where it is necessary to sleep at night, clerks are thrown disgustingly close together by reason of the small space that can be used for sleeping purposes. All these causes and many others are keeping the very best material out of the Service now days, while the influx of negroes into the Service in some parts of the country continues at a ratio three to one. Some of these negroes are of the lowest element, even criminals among them. The most ignorant are easily coached to pass the examination by the many correspondence schools located throughout the country that make a specialty of preparing negroes for the Civil Service examinations. We will not go further into the racial conditions surrounding our branch of the Service, but we humbly beg you to investigate conditions and to act upon your own judgment as to the best course to pursue in regard to them. We are sure the negroes cannot object to segregation. It is the best thing for them as well as ourselves. We, therefore, leave it with you, trusting you will believe we are acting for the sole purpose of raising the standard of the Service and promoting our positions and selves in the eyes of our fellow-men. EDUCATIONAL MEETING An educational mass meeting for the negro race will be held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon at the old Orpheum theatre under the auspices of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial institute. E. H. Inman, one of the wealthiest and most influential men of Atlanta, will preside and numbers of others among the leading white men of Atlanta who are striving to uplift the negro race and aid their leaders, will be seated on the platform. MARRIES NEGRO St. Louis, Mo., April 2.—"I do not care what becomes of me. I wish I were dead, for everyone knows that I am married to a negro." from Charles B. Gerhart, a wealthy real estate operator, by Mrs. Timothy Cox, at whose home Mrs. Gerhart died yesterday from bromodia taken presumably with suicide intent, is expected today to furnish the basis for a coroner's verdict. That Mrs. Julia McFarlane Pocock Gerhart had married L. W. Kellogg, a negro, formerly butler in the Gerhart home, became known last night when Kellogg, now employed at the residence of Colonel Frederick D. Gardner, appeared at the Central police station and asked if he was wanted in connection with Mrs. Gerhart's death. When told that he was not, the negro explained, with evident pride, that he was the lawful husband of Mrs. Gerhart, that they were married in St. Paul Nov. 22. He left the station without being questioned at length, saying he would report at the eleventh district station. News that the former social leader had become the wife of a negro came as a shock to persons who had known her. Mrs. Cox declared that Mrs. Gerhart allowed the negro to call at the Cox home and informed Mrs. Cox that he was her husband. She also declared that Mrs. Gerhart showed her a marriage license issued in St. Paul. The Proper Spirit. Chicago, March 29. Because the management of the fashionable Hotel La Salle refused to admit Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, president of the Chicago Colored Woman's club, 200 Chicago clubwomen who had arranged a meeting in the hotel this afternoon indignantly withdrew. Interesting News Concerning the Race. The Standard Life Insurance company, H. E. Perry. President, recently licensed by the Georgia state insurance department, is believed to be the first old-line life insurance company organized exclusively by negroes to write insurance among negroes. Insurance circles generally are interested in the circumstances under which the company begins operations, since they believe they may indicate a new field of activity for the negro. The stable nature of the company is indicated in the fact that it passed easily the inspection of the state insurance department, which now operates under right new laws designed to weed out "blue sky" concerns. Its capital stock of $100,000 was sold with premiums of $38,000. The promotion expenses total the unusually conservative aggregate of eight per cent and total organization expenses two per cent. Georgia municipal bonds to the amount of $100,000 have been deposited with the state treasurer. Already the company has on file applications for insurance totaling $400,000. Negroes From South The company, whose home offices will be in Atlanta, expects to do business among negroes throughout the south generally. Its officers are: H. E. Perry, president; Wm. Driskell, vice-president; Harry H. Pace, secretary; J. O. Ross, treasurer; Thomas H. Slater, M. D., medical director; George Dyre Eldridge, New York, consulting actuary. Mr. Eldrige is the only white man connected with the company, and is an actuary of national reputation. He prepared all the policy forms and rates for the company, and they are so classified as to secure only the most desirable risks. The incorporators and board of directors are drawn from among the most representative and well-to-do negroes of the southern states, practically the entire cotton belt being included.

MUSIC FESTIVAL AT ATLANTA The musical festival and voice demonstration by students of Atlanta Baptist college drew an audience of 4,000 white and colored people to the auditorium Friday night. In addition to the large local representation present, former students and alumni of the college were there from various other towns and cities in Georgia and Alabama. An interesting and varied program was rendered, consisting of exercises in voice culture, orchestral selections, old time negro melodies, instrumental solos and melodies by negro composers, and renditions of Kipling's "Rolling Down to Rio" and Gounod's "Gallia" by a male chorus of 250 voices. As a whole the entertainment was very creditable. Many numbers elicited vigorous and enthusiastic applause from the audience. Chicago, March 31, 1913.

F., my deepest gratitude for their kindness to me and to my deceased husband; the members showed that they regard their obligations; also express my thanks to the president and secretary of the Odd Fellows' Endowment Bureau for so promptly paying the endowment that Mr. J. E. Jones carried. Respectfully, MARY JONES. NOTICE Subscribers receiving more than one copy of The Star will kindly notify this office.

FEATURES OF THE OCCASION Elaborate Reception Held In Recognition of the Marriage of the Rev. Dr. D. J. Jenkins, Founder and President of the Orphanage School, to Miss Eloise Chaplain Harleston. Charleston, S. C.-No social happening in this city within recent years has caused so much favorable comment as the recent announcement of the marriage of the Rev. D. J. Jenkins to Miss Eloise C. Harleston. The marriage announcement was celebrated with a public reception at the well known new Tabernacle Fourth Baptist church, of which the groom is the successful pastor. The function was attended by hundreds of Charleston's most intelligent and thrifty citizens and was also more notable because of the presence and unanimous testimony of the clergy of all the leading churches of the city regardless of denomination. Prominent persons from out of town were also present to show their appreciation for the great humanitarian work which Dr. and Mrs. Jenkins are doing for the youth of our race. The Rev. D. J. Jenkins is the founder and president of the Jenkins Orphanage institute and for nearly twenty-five years has been pastor of the church in which the reception was held. He is well known among both races in the south and bears a national reputation for the work which he is doing for the race in shaping young lives for future usefulness. The bride, Miss Eloise C. Harleston, is a woman of excellent executive ability, as shown in her work for several years as the efficient and painstaking secretary and treasurer of the Orphans' Aid society. The exercises were presided over by the Rev. Dr. P. A. Callaham, pastor of REV. DR. D. J. JENKINS. the Macedonia Baptist church. Darlington. S. C. In his opening remarks Dr. Callaham said: "Few greater men live among us than the Rev. D. J. Jenkins. He is a man possessed of a large vision. quick conception and strong convictions. What he believes to be right he has the courage to go forward and do. Discouragements and oppositions only spur him to greater efforts. He knows no failures. He has worked wonders. All men should honor him." The marriage announcement was made by Dr. A. L. De Mond, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church, who said: "I take pleasure in announcing that the honor as a minister of the gospel of uniting in holy matrimony Miss Eloise C. Harleston, a member of my church, and Rev. D. J. Jenkins, pastor of New Tabernacle Baptist church, was accorded to me." The "Effect of Marriage on Society" was interestingly set forth by Dr. L. R. Nicholson, pastor of Morris Brown A. M. E. church. "Marriage and How Produced" was the subject of an address by the Rev. Mr. Kemp, pastor of Morris Street Baptist church, who was followed by the Rev. R. L. Hickson, pastor of Wesley M. E. church, who gave his opinion on "When a Couple Should Be United In Marriage." The American idea of marriage and the true conception of marriage furnished some thoughtful and timely remarks by the Rev. E. H. Goit, D. D., pastor of Mount Zion A. M. E. church and the Rev. Dr. P. J. Chavis, pastor of St. Luke's A. M. E. church, respectively. Dr. H. W. B. Bennett, presiding elder of the Edisto district, brought out some very sound truths in discussing the subject. "Who Should Marry." "What Should Be the Motive Actuating a Marriage Contract?" was beautifully outlined by Dr. L. H. Fulton, pastor of the Centenary M. E. church, while "Marriage and Its Relation to Christianity" engaged the attention of the Rev. Dr. N. B. Sterrett, pastor of Emanuil A. M. E. church. The speechmaking came to a close with a summary by H.iv. L. F. Alston, A. M., pastor of St. Peter's A. M. E. church. At the conclusion of the Rev. Mr. Alston's address the bridal party, followed by the officers of the New Tabernacle Fourth Baptist church and the invited guests, were ushered into the reception room, where a sumptuous feast was spread. Dr. and Mrs. Jenkins were the recipients of numerous presents from friends in and out of town. The affair was the most brilliant social function held in this city among our people for many years. Success of the Order In Mississippi Noted at Annual Meeting. Mound Bayou, Miss.—The recent annual communication of the M. W. Stringer grand lodge of Mississippi held in this town was attended by 700 delegates. It is the largest and reputed to be the wealthiest grand lodge of Masons among colored men in the United States. The lodge became famous under the leadership of the late Bishop Eward W. Lampton, who served as grand master. The enrollment is 10,000 members, distributed among 426 subordinate lodges. The features of the communication were the report of the financial wizard, Charles Banks, whose duties as secretary-treasurer of the Masonic Benefit association involve the collection and disbursement each year of $100,000 and more; the report of M. W. Grand Master W. A. J. Morgan and of the grand treasurer, Daniel W. Gary, and the heartiest indorsement of the work of those craftsmen by the grand lodges. Mr. Banks has risen through constant effort to the leadership of Mississippi Masons and is the recognized leader of the progressive wing of his people in the state. The Masonic benefit office, located in this famous Negro town, collected in 1911 $100,000 and paid to beneficiaries of deceased craftsmen $90,000. The office gives employment to a dozen persons. Among the prominent Mississippians who attended the grand lodge communication were Perry W. Howard, the lawyer; Dr. E. P. Jones, E. D. Coleman of Aberdeen, N. H. McKissack of Holly Springs, Dr. D. W. Sherrod, Virgil Reubens, Emory P. Simmons, Dr. E. B. Topp, H. D. Ford, Professor J. O. Ross, Dr. W. A. Attaway, W. W. Cox, Dr. W. F. Howard, John L. Webb of Yazoo, Calvin N. Miller, Thomas G. Ewing, Jr., and many another of those associated with them. The following officers were elected by acclamation following Mr. Banks' report: M. W. grand master, W. A. J. Morgan; deputy grand master, W. W. Phillips of Kosciusko; grand secretary, George S. Goodman of Holly Springs; grand treasurer, D. W. Gary of Mound Bayou; G. S. W., B. F. Lacy of Shiloh; G. J. W., J. J. Morant, Jr., of Vicksburg; secretary-treasurer Masonic Benefit association, Charles Banks. The special address was delivered by Colonel Roscue Conkling Simmons, the journalist, who spoke before a packed house at an open session. The next communication will be held in Canton in the month of December, 1913. FOR RENT.—Furnished Rooms in modern house, 1923 Clarkson Street. Mrs. Stradwick.

Dr. Charles Stewart Is Optimistic. Muskogee, Okla. - Headed by Rev. S. S. Jones, the Baptists of Muskogee are preparing for the greatest Sunday school convention ever held in this part of the country. Fully 2,500 people from all parts of the country are expected to attend the sessions of the convention, which will begin here on June 4. The Baptists have organized and opened headquarters in the business section of the city, and committees are being formed to look after arrangements in detail, so that when the delegates arrive in this city all will be well cared for and provided with good stopping places. Muskogee takes the lead in racial enterprises for Oklahoma, such as banks, real estate offices, general department stores, dry goods, insurance companies, large business blocks owned and operated by the race, doctors, lawyers, druggists—in fact, every business carried on in the city is represented by the race. The national Baptist Sunday school congress is farreaching and brings together some of the most noted men and women of the race from all parts of the country. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, assistant secretary of the national Baptist publishing board, Nashville. Tenn.. is secretary of the congress. He is putting his life into it. In this he is assisted by Charles Stewart of Chicago, the noted correspondent, who is looking after the press end of the convention. Dr. Stewart was in this city recently and delivered two able addresses. He also visited the public school and spoke words of encouragement to the pupils. In speaking of the preparations made Dr. Stewart said: "I am delighted with the progress being made by your committees, and I am glad to note how the people are working. You will have here some of our best men and women of our race. As I get over the country I find that the people are preparing for the meeting. Already delegates are being elected. "Modern methods of Sunday school work are very necessary today, and I am glad to note that they are being looked after. I have attended a number of meetings, and each year they seem to grow better and more is put into them by the management." Dr. Stewart went from here to Texas, thence through Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and up through the Carolinas. He will return to this city in time for the congress. While here he was the guest of H. R. Green, the noted singer. Mission of Foreign Educators Visit. Rev. E. G. Granville-Sutton, a negro minister and mechanic of Sierra Leone, came to America last spring to attend the race conference at Tuskegee institute. He has visited many schools in this country to obtain suggestions which may aid him to establish an industrial school at Freetown among his people, who are entirely without such advantages. Commencement at Tuskegee May 25. Taking time by the forelock, the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute announces that the annual commencement this year will begin on Sunday, May 25. The sermon will be delivered by Dr. John E. White or Atlanta, Ga. The commencement address will be delivered by Dr. Robert E. Jones of New Orleans on Thursday, May 30.

PROGRESS MADE BY YOUNG MEN PROGRAM OF ACTIVITIES Success of a Native Virginian Who Represents the Possibilities of the Race in Business and the Professions in the North—Special Fitness Shown For Important Position. By WHITTIER H. WRIGHT. Philadelphia.—A young man of grit and determination with common sense enough to work to achieve the goal of his ambition regardless of difficulties and obstacles and of what the world has to say of him is of the kind most needed among this race of men of affairs. The thrifty city of Richmond, Va., gave us Joseph Cephas Howard in 1888. While he was yet a boy his father, though humble, but a highly respected citizen of the Old Dominion state, migrated to Norwich, Conn., where opportunities for a broader and more liberal education for the young progeny might be found. Under the wise guidance of his parents he developed a ravenous appetite for learning and at the age of seventeen years had completed the public school and high school courses of that city. For three years following he entered the college department of Howard university in Washington. Still desirous of obtaining knowledge along business and scientific lines which would fit him for a business career, he further matriculated at Temple university and completed the prescribed course for a bachelor's degree. He also completed a special course in sociology and statistics un- [Image of a man in a suit with a white shirt and black tie]. JOSEPH CEPHAS HOWARD. der Dr. Franklin Kline Fretz, a special investigator for the University of Pennsylvania. In June, 1912, Mr. Howard finished a course in bookkeeping and was later appointed by the civil service commission as storekeeper for the Oak Lane station of the electrical department of the city of Philadelphia. Many objected to his appointment, although one vested in power by the civil service commission, solely on account of color, even though he was rewarded only in the regular order of recognition for efficiency. While in school Mr. Howard won four medals for scholastic efficiency and was on two occasions called upon to represent the colored students of Temple university. Since leaving school Mr. Howard has also entered the industrial insurance field and is a director in the People's Aid society of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, acting as the Philadelphia superintendent. Mr. Howard, his wife and two children are comfortably housed at 5822 Haverford avenue, West Philadelphia, which he owns. Besides the home in which he lives he owns some other real estate in this city, purchased largely with the influence and aid of his most estimable helpmeet. Mr. Howard represents the best type of young Afro-American manhood. Virginia Annual Conference April 16. The Virginia annual conference of the A. M. B. church is always an interesting gathering of churchmen and religious workers for home and foreign missions. The sessions of the conference this year will be held in the Bethel church, Eastville, Va., beginning on Wednesday, April 16. Candidates for admission to the conference will be heard at a meeting held for that purpose on Tuesday, April 15, at noon. The pastor of Bethel church is the Rev. F. Allen Seaton, who will give delegates and visitors a most cordial welcome. Middle Tennessee Educators Confer. The second annual meeting of the Middle Tennessee Colored Teachers' association was held in Nashville for three days, beginning on Thursday, March 20. Sessions were held in the high school building, Fisk Memorial chapel and St. John A. M. E. church. Professor W. T. B. Williams and Dr. George E. Haynes were among those who made timely addresses. All the sessions were well attended. A.

What will the future of our boys and girls be if they are allowed to run wild as they are now? Who is to blame for their present condition? A great deal of the fault lies with the parents, I venture to say, of many boys and girls ranging between the ages of 14 and 20 years, that run to the nickle shows on Sunday evening and stand around on the corners making themselves so conspicuous by their ways and actions, loud and boisterous language is certainly disgusting. I doubt very much whether their parents know or care where they are. Wake up, parents, to your sense of duty and remember the future of our race lies in the making of our boys and girls, and they will be just what you make them. Make the environments around your home pleasant and happy. Mothers, be the chaperon and companion of your daughter. Fathers, be the moral adviser of your son; teach him to be honest and upright in all his dealings with his fellowmen and above all, learn him to be a man in the true sense of the word, as the world is asking for men, true men. As a race we must guard against the "social evil" and try to upbuild our young folks by good treatment, and not by abuse, and remember you shall reap what you sow. So let us sow seeds of kindness for our young folks and try to make them better, and the world will profit thereby. Remember these beautiful lines; "Give love and love to your heart will flow. A strength in your utmost need; For faith and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed." "My Stand." For the upbuilding of my race, first, that they may become a power in the world. If I succeed in this, all things political and otherwise will be added thereto. PIERPONT MORGAN That Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan is dead admits of no doubt; that his system is dead is room for doubt; but that his methods have been outgrown by the commerce and democracy of this country, there can be but little doubt. And yet Mr. Morgan was a great man, left a rich legacy to the world because of his indomitable will and force of character. If judged by his words and works, he stands among the greatest of American commercial and industrial empire builders—if not the greatest of all. He believed little in individualism where combinations could be made and concentration centered and crystallized, so he welded together individuals for his own purpose and then dominated over both big and little men. He easily and early scented bargains through varying conditions, garnering fortunes and building up businesses by absorbing profits from the growth of a new and undeveloped industry. Such a man would have been a prominent factor to be reckoned with in any walk of life and in any country, but it required young America, with all of her vast and undeveloped treasures and resources, to make a Morgan as the world knew him, just as it took the background (conditions) of the French revolution to make a Napoleon and the chaotic and undeveloped opportunities in South Africa to make a Cecil Rhodes. A Pierpont Morgan can and will come out of the Negro race, only when some individual is willing to become a pioneer in a new and undeveloped country, as Liberia, South America, Cuba, Philippines, etc., and with the Morgan methods, aims and manipulations, he can easily become a giant captain of industry, finance and commerce. If the Negroes in Colorado in general and in Denver in particular have ever dreamed or desired to have industrial, agricultural, commercial and trade enterprises among them they must certainly start from the ground floor with members and then create such conditions as would be conducive of that desire. As it is now, Colorado and Denver need more new Negroes, thrifty and with capital to make industrious farmers, and the business men will follow as a result of the production and distribution of the farm products. Denver business and professional men would not only have topend upon Denver people for support, but could look also to the farmers of the outside counties. build up Colorado with Negro farmers while land is easy to get and accessible in location, and especially while so many flattering conditions are favorable. --- "My Stand."

This fact is gleaned from the Negro Year Book, published at Tuskegee institute under the direction of Monroe N. Work, in charge of research and records into and of his race. The statutes of Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas assert that "a person of color" is one who is descended from a Negro to the third generation, inclusive, though one ancestor in each generation may have been white. According to the law of Alabama one is "a person of color" who has had any Negro blood in his ancestry for five generations. In Michigan, Nebraska and Oregon one is not legally a Negro who has less than one-fourth Negro blood in his veins. In Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri and South Carolina "a person of color" is one who has as much as one-eighth Negro blood. In Virginia a Negro is one who has one-sixteenth or more Negro blood. The constitution of Oklahoma reads: "Whenever in this constitution or in the laws of the state the word or words 'colored race' or 'Negro' or 'Negro race' are used, the same shall be construed to mean or to apply to all persons of African descent. The term 'white' shall include all other persons." In Arkansas "persons of color" include all who have a visible and distinct admixture of African blood. The other states of the Union have no statutes defining the term "Negro." Thus it would seem that a Negro in one state is not always a Negro in another. These and many other facts regarding the progress and development, present and past status, of the Negro race, are found collected in the Negro Year Book. PRESBYTERIANS IN UPLIFT WORK FOR AFRO-AMERICANS Recent Annual Meeting In St. Louis Shows Big Results. St. Louis.—The experiment of the Presbyterian church's freedmen's board in establishing colored persons on individual farms in Georgia was described as part of the board's work by Miss Roberta Barr of Pittsburgh at the recent annual meeting of the Missouri Synodical society in the West Presbyterian church, this city. Miss Barr, who is assistant secretary of the board, said the first aim of the board is to give the Negro race a good moral foundation. They must therefore first be trained in the Bible and Christian Hving. "The board is criticised sometimes," she said, "because it does not make industrial education the first feature. It believes thoroughly in industrial education and equips schools for the work as fully as possible." She described the farm of 1.000 acres at Keyesville, Ga., near Augusta, from which the board is parceling off to the Negroes farms of twenty or thirty acres each, giving to each a mule and a plow and building a small cottage. The tenant is allowed to pay for this equipment and the land by rental fees, so that in time the property becomes his own. "The colored people of the United States now own farms," said Miss Barr, "of such extent as would include all the New England states." By this statement she referred to Negro ownership generally, not alone to that fostered by the Presbyterian board. This board operates 131 schools, all of them being taught entirely by Negroes except six. The board emphasizes the need of an educated Negro ministry and supports in part 280 Negro ministers. There are 15,000 children in the board's schools, and in each one the Bible is a daily textbook. Mrs. M. J. Gildersleeve of New York city, secretary of the woman's board of home missions, at a study class during the meeting pointed out the wide culture which may accrue from mission study. "It is a university education," she said. At another time she pointed out the common tie between all the varied peoples of the United States—Alaskans, mountainneers, Negroes, Mexicans and Indians—speaking also of the Cubans and Porto Ricans, to whom the board ministers. She said the building of railroads and the development of resources are greatly increasing the missionary's opportunity To Our Correspondents. Owing to our want of space in both the advertising and news columns, we are asking that only society and other important news be sent hereafter. We trust that strict compliance with this request will be given.—Editor. From Out of Town. NOTES FROM CHEYENNE Mrs. L. B.

E. 23 Duane St., New York City In the midst of the great tidal waves of agitation and introduction of legislation against the intermarriage of white and colored persons in the various states let the colored race remember that it still has friends among the white people. Neither segregation not prohibitory marriage laws can stop the progress of a race united in heart, purpose and constructive effort. There will always be strong defenders of truth and righteousness, persons of wealth and influence, who love justice and hate injustice to fellow human beings. As the enemies of the race increase, so will its friends multiply. Character, honesty and integrity are not judged by the color of a person's skin. They are virtues by which the world measures mankind. They are not to be bought or sold. They are nature's priceless jewels. Rabbi E. G. Hirsch, the great Jewish scholar, in a recent tribute paid to Dr. Booker T. Washington and the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute recently, used the following expressions to convey his meaning: "Have you ever thought that the great Son of Palestine was a carpenter's son? He did not have a classical education, but he learned the lesson of life in his father's carpenter shop. He did not go to academies, but he heard his divine Father's call. "Whatever message he had he clothed it in the phraseology not of the counting room and not of the drawing room, but in the impressive vocabulary of the farmer and the artisan.

At the meeting of the People's Sunday Alliance on the 30th ult., Madam R. L. Pope, in presenting her subject, "Harriet Beecher Stowe," exceeded our most sanguine expectation. Her thought and style of delivery were both exhilarating and refreshing. She put new life into a trite subject and renewed our sense of obligation to this historic character. Every one who heard Mrs. Pope were anxious that others should hear this paper and a motion prevailed that she be requested to re-read it at her earliest convenience and then allow it to go to the press for publication. New impetus was given to the work of the Alliance by the addition to its membership of the names of Rev. R. L. Pope, Madam Pope, Prof. Robt, Lee and Mrs. Lizzie Froman.

Up-town Office 1849 Champa Providence Medical and Dental Association Holding Series of Meetings-By N. BARNETT DODSON. One section of the professional men of Brooklyn was brought in direct contact with the public in a most helpful way on Sunday evening, Jan. 26. The occasion was the first appearance in a body of the members of the Providence Medical and Dental association at the services of the Concord Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss is pastor. The desire for closer relationship between the business and professional members of the race and the public generally has long been uppermost in the minds of the ministers and leaders in the various movements for racial betterment. The first definite effort toward the consummation of the desired relation was made about a year and a half ago, when upon the invitation of the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss a large number of business and professional men and women assembled in the Concord Baptist church and were addressed by Dr. Moss on the subject of "Business Ethics." Since that time there has been a gradual trend toward closer union on the part of those engaged in the various lines of business and professional life, so that it may be said in justice to Dr. Moss that he has been the precursor of the movement which has at last borne such rich results. He is a believer in race co-operation. He emphasizes it from the pulpit and practices it by patronizing members of the race who are engaged in business to the extent of what he needs in their CHURCH NOTES NOTES OF BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH. Sunday, April 6, 9:45, Sunday school lesson, subject, "Jacob and Esau," Genesis 27:22-34. 11:00 a. m., preaching by the pastor. 3:00 p. m., Union Baptismal services at the Central Baptist church. The union revival meetings that have been in progress between Central and Bethlehem churches closed last Friday night with glorifying success, many souls having been brought to Christ and backsliders reclaimed. Don't fail to attend this service and witness the first union baptizing among the Baptists in the city. Rev. Price, the pastor of Central church, will preach the doctrinal sermon on Immersion. The B. Y. P. U. services will begin at 7:00 p. m. Beginning with the first Sunday in the month, subject, "The Ideal Christian—His Humility," Matt. 20:20-28, the pastor will lead. (Consecration meeting.) Preaching services will begin at 8 p. m. After preaching the hand of fellowship will be given to the new members and communion. A large crowd attended the sermon of the K. of P. last Sunday and a beautiful program was carried out.. To the surprise of many the church was amply large enough to seat the order and the large crowd that was present. The public and strangers are invited to all of our services, corner East Thirty-second and Lafayette street, Rev. A. E. Reynolds, pastor. CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Corner 23rd and Lawrence streets. Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D. D., pastor; Sabbath services as follows: 11 a. m., sacrament of the Lord's Supper and general class. 6:30 p. m., Allen League; subject, "The Ideal Christian" (Consecration meeting); D. D. Howard, leader. 7:45 p. m., preaching by the pastor; subject, "Three Old Wells." You will receive a hearty welcome at each of these services. Campbell sent $11.89 to Rev. W. T. Osbourne for the aid of the unfortunate in his parish. The men are planning for a big entertainment for the benefit of the trustees. They had a good meeting looking to that end on Thursday evening. The Pastor's Aid gave a side-splitting entertainment at the church Wednesday evening. The program was a sure cure for the blues. The Sewing Circle is now hard at work on their quilt, from which they hone to realize a neat sum. The parsonage was stormed again last week by Brother Fleming and Sister Lewis, who brought many nice things to wear and eat. Sisters Nannie Washington, Caroline Holland, J. T. Alexander and Hattie G. Berry have returned after an extended visit with relatives and friends in Kansas and Missouri. The members are glad to see them in their pews again. Most of our sick are greatly improved. However, Sister Hayden had a severe fall from which she is suffering considerably. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. Morning sermon, John 14:1. Evening communion I. Cor. 10:16. Come to the union baptizing between Central and Bethlehem Sunday at the Central church, 3 p. m. The baptismal sermon will be preached by Rev. Price at 2:30 p. m. Acts 8:36. The union meeting between Bethlehem and Central was a success. Remember that Bethlehem and Central choirs will unite in singing praises to the Lord Sunday evening at 3 p. m. Come and hear them. The church sent $6.42 to the Omaha NOTES FOR THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Tomorrow morning the church will not engage in its regular monthly covenant meeting. After the usual opening programme, the pastor will deliver a short sermon from the subject, "Spiritual Groth." It is hoped that a large congregation will be present, as this is the beginning of a new month and a new quarter. At 3:30 in the afternoon the pastor and Brother Jackson will participate in an ordination service at Boulder in which our Brother Wallace will be set apart to the work of the gospel ministry. Brother Wallace is now pastoring at Boulder and Eaton. The subject for the evening sermon is "Gethsemane." At the close of this service the church will observe the communion of the Lord's Supper. It is very desirable that those who have recently united with the church be present at this meeting. The congregation last Sunday gave an offering of $26.00 for the relief of the sufferers in the storm districts, which was forwarded during the week. The Williams' Jubilee Singers are to be with us on the evening of the second of May. The concert will be given this year in the Auditorium, as it has been difficult thus far to accommodate those who desired to hear this remarkable company. Popular prices will prevail. Parquet seats will be 50 cents and balcony seats will be but 35 cents; box seats on the first floor may be had at $1.00. The choir is diligently preparing for its spring concert which is to be given shortly at the church. The "Prodigal Son," the Ontario so beautifully treated by Vincent, will be rendered. The subject is one familiar to an and the music loving community will greatly enjoy this treat. The prayer meeting topic this Wednesday evening is "I Am the Vine—the Entrance to Life." The pastor will give one-half hour to the discussion of this topic. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES. The order of services at Shorter chapel tomorrow will be as follows: 10:00 a. m., Sunday school. Lesson: Jacob and Esau, Gen. 25: 27-34; 27: 1-45. 11:00, sermon, "The Rock Christ," by the pastor. Holy communion will be given at this service. 6:45 p. m., Allen Christian Endeavor League. Topic: The Ideal Christian; IV. His Humility, Matt. 20: 20-28. (Consecration meeting.) Beginning with tomorrow, our evening service will open at 7:45 instead of at 7:30, as heretofore. Sisters Annie C. Poage of St. Louis, Mo., and J. H. Steele and Minnie Fred Steele, of 2332 Walnut street, were welcomed into Shorter's communion last Sabbath. Little Minnie Fred Steele doubtless enjoys the distinction of being the youngest Christion to transfer her membership to a Denver church, she being about seven years of age. Our church remembered the Omaha sufferers last Sunday, and $52.25 was sent from our congregation for their relief. Brother Wm. Sprague and Mr. A. S. Hamilton come in for special mention. Through the generosity of Mrs. Anderson, 2054 Arapahoe street, a box of clothing was forwarded also. Our congregation is preparing to observe Woman's day on the third Sunday of April. The pastor will deliver a special sermon to the women and the ladies will have control of the services. The trustees, the stewards, the ushers, the secretary, the choir, presiding officer and treasurer will all be women. The second instalment for the spring campaign will be due on Friday evening, April 11th. Every captain is expected to be on hand with a complete report. The big bazaar by the Sewing Circle, April 29th to May 1st, is going to be worth while. Something good is in store for the fun-loving public. The high class recital at Shorter Thursday evening, April 10th, promises to be an entertainment of rare merit. Miss Hicks, Mesdames Jones and Waller are talented and they are our own. They deserve a magnificent audience. The paper on Harriet Beecher Stowe, read by Mrs. R. L. Pope before the Sunday Alliance last Sabbath was so well received that a re-reading at a future meeting was called for. Sister Eleanor Braxton, after a period of illness covering several weeks was warmly greeted at the morning service by her many friends. Brothers Harry Jones, 2036 Arapahoe street; Morris Campbell, 837 Elati street, and Sister O'Neal, 1425 East Sixteenth avenue, who are on the sick list, are reported to be convalescing. CHURCH OF THE HOLY REDEEMER 22nd avenue and Humboldt street. The Rev. Henry B. Brown, B.

This sanitary method o. 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.

FINE EXAMPLE OF TRUE AMBITION How Dr. Edward A. Bailey Rose to Prominence. STUDIOUS FROM CHILDHOOD Commendable Record of a Former Texas Boy Who Set His Standard High and Accomplished His Purpose—Given Special Recognition by Eminent Physician For Rare Skill and Ability. Parsons, Kan.—"Complaints and wallings never yet made a race and never will," were the words uttered by a noted educator of the race some years ago. The young men of the present are realizing this and are pushing to the front, making each day count for something. In all parts of the country are to be found men who are making something in life and who are making a record worthy of comment. In this connection is to be found Dr. Edward Anderson Bailey, who was born in Winchester, Tex., Aug. 20, 1884, and now enjoys a lucrative practice in Parsons, Kan. His early training was in the public schools of Winchester, Tex., where he advanced rapidly, showing a strong 6 DR. EDWARD A. BAILEY. mind, which attracted much attention in early childhood. Completing the public school course, he then found his way to Tillotson college, Austin, Tex., one of the institutions of the American Missionary association. Like many young men, during vacation he taught school and of course was called "fessor," but that was not his desire. He wanted to rank with the professional men of the age and to make his mark as a physician and surgeon. So when he was graduated from the college in 1905 many of his friends, because of his ability, thought that the schoolroom needed him; hence he was persuaded to enter Prairie View college, in Texas, where he took the special course for teachers. It was in June, 1907, that he was graduated from Prairie View. It was while at Prairie View that he came in contact with many of the leading men of the race from whom he received from them words of encouragement and inspiration. Among those connected with the school that helped the struggling young men were Professors E. L. Blackshear, I. T. Hodges, W. C. Rollin, R. Isaac, J. H. Crawford and C. W. Luckie. At the opening of Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., for the fall term of 1908 he was there and entered with a determination to make good in the profession to which he felt called, medicine. While a student at the college he made many friends who proved to be very helpful. Friends among the students, friends among the instructors and friends among the citizens counted for much in his life. Having made special friends of Drs R. F. Boyd and F. A. Stewart, he was called upon to assist them in many of their difficult operations, thereby giving him a special advantage. Being made chief interne at Dr. R. F. Boyd's infirmary, he he showed extraordinary skill and ability. Graduating from Meharry in 1912. Dr. Bailey sought the middle west as his location and took to the work at once among the members of his race and at the same time here and there making friends among other races. Located with his office right in the business section of Parsons, he has a well equipped modern office. He enjoys the personal friendship of Mayor O. H. Stewart and other prominent citizens of both races. Dr. Bailey is found in the front rank of racial enterprises. He is one of the prime movers in the organization of the Negro board of trade in Parsons, of which he is president and which is one of the few in the country conducted by the race. "What man bath done man can do," and the success of this young man should be an inspiration to other members of the race. He ranks today with the foremost men of the race and is rendering a great service, holding as his motto "Industry, honesty and reliability." SUCCESS AFTER HARD STRUGGLE How Dr. Fitz Nearon Prepared For Profession. EXAMPLE OF PERSISTENCE. Progressive Type of Young Manhood Represented In the Ambition of a Native West Indian Who Is Making Good as a Practicing Physician In New York—Enjoys Public Confidence. New York.—That a man is the architect of his own fortune and that it rests largely with him as to whether he shall succeed or fail is seen in Dr. Fitz Nearon, a successful young physician in this city, who began his practice with $5, three pieces of furniture and a determination to succeed. He is now rated as one of the leading young physicians of this section and has built up a practice that would do justice to an older practitioner. Dr. Nearon represents that progressive type of young manhood from the West Indies island which comes to our shores seeking a larger and wider life. He was born in Bermuda and received his preparatory education at St George's academy. Shortly after leaving the academy he came to America and entered Lincoln university, from which he graduated in 1899. While in college he was known as a good student and was prominent in college activities. After leaving Lincoln he came to New York and entered the New York Medical college and Flower hospital, from which he was graduated in 1907. Realizing that this is the day of the specialist, young Nearon spent one year at the lying-in hospital, where he took a special course. He finished his medical course in 1908 with $5 in his pocket. He managed to get three pieces of furniture with which to fit up his office, and with this humble beginning Dr. Nearon began 1920 his practice in this city. By hard and persistent effort and with a thorough preparation for his career Dr. Nearon has steadily risen in his profession and enjoys the confidence of the public and also occupies a high place in the estimation of the leading colored physicians of this city. His patients include members of both races. The success which Dr. Nearon has attained by the exercise of a will to do may be well emulated by other young men of the race who, without confidence in their abilities, have chosen work far below their preparation. The rise of Dr. Nearon offsets the theory put forth by so many young men from the medical schools that they must work at some other occupation before they begin the practice of their profession. Dr. Nearon is a thorough race man and is identified with many movements pertaining to the advance of the race and the medical profession in this city. He is a member of the Medical association and of the McDonough Memorial Hospital association, which is behind the movement for the erection of a hospital in this city. He is a young man of wide attainments, being especially gifted in hand painting. On the walls of his office are many of his paintings, including one of his mother, of whom he is very fond. Dr. Nearon is devoted to his profession, and his ambition is to stand at the very highest round in his chosen work. He is of pleasing address and has the art of making and keeping friends. The race may well be proud of the progressive and ambitious element of its young manhood as represented by Dr. Nearon of this city.

The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you is to get a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. O. H. Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My wife was down in bed with an obstinate cough, and I honestly believe had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery, she would not be living today." Known for 43 years as the best remedy for coughs and colds. Price 50c and $1.00. Recommended by all druggists. Rev. A. W. Carr, pastor of Ebenezer M.
