Your Word is Good as Gold, but it Takes Money to Buy---Pay Your Y. M. C. A. Pledge Promptly TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR. Number 41 Prejudice ner toat make one think we are "theatrically mad" is not hncommon, but when the Majestic entered the renegade ranks the profession was astonished. Miss Mitchell fashionable attired went to the theater on Monday. She purchased a $1.00 ticket for the first floor. When she presented it to the ticket chopper he declared that a mistake had been made. He went to the box office to make inquiries and when he returned Miss Mitchell was surprise when he handed a 75 cent ticket in another part of the house. She protested against the unfair trick, and appealed to the Manager, who upheld his subordinates, but those who witnessed the substitution of tickets could plainly see that it was simply a matter of color prejudice. The state of Illinois has a strong civil right law which prominent attorney will quote when seeking redress for Miss Mitchell in the Courts. They advise that when members of the race buy tickets in the future, that they tear off the coupon in front of the ticket chopper and if there is any difficulty retain one end which will be the best of evidence when the case is tried in court. And tell your readers not to be afraid to prosecute everyone who discriminates against them was their final advice.—The Defender.

The Northern California Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been quietly organized in Oakland and San Francisco within the last month to prevent the development or accumulation of race prejudice in California, which is now one of the states that deals most fairly with the colored people. The local officers include well known white people as well as prominent colored men and women and the organization is based on the co-operation between the two races. There are 10,000 colored people about San Francisco bay, of whom eight thousand live in Alameda county. There are sixty nogro business men in Oakland. The Oakland colored people pay taxes on one and a half million dollars' worth of property, and the San Francisco colored people on a half million more. The officers of the Northern California Branch are as follows: President, Probation Officer Christopher Ruess; vice-president, Attorney Lawrence Sledge; secretary, Miss Eva B. Jones; treasurer, James A. Hackett; directors, Lawrence Sledge and Mrs. H. E. DeHart, expiring 1913; attorney, Cameron King and William N. Ricks; expiring 1914; and Miss Anita Whitney, president of the California Civic League and Mrs. Thomas Jackson, expiring 1915. We note with pleasure that the secretary of the organization is one of Denver's own, Miss Eva Jones. Miss Jones is to be congratulated for her work, and we hope that as soon as her toils are over in California, that she will hurry to Denver and put on such a movement, for we surely need it.

Under the Hammer While the Atlanta Constitution is telling the world that the Negro in the South is being supplanted by poor whites as domestics, owing to incompetency, The Harpoon, a rag published in the interest of white railroad mail employes, is waging a determined fight against the colored railroad clerks in the South especially. Under the past administration, its knocking and agitating had no effect, but it is gaining the ear and heart of the present Postmaster-General, and through what they call a complete new organization, all the Negro and the inefficiency clerks are to be ousted, meaning that all the Negro clerks only are to be ousted. The trouble is, that in certain sections the senior clerk is in charge of the car, and very often it is a colored man. The very fact that a southern cracker must take orders from this Negro, is too much for him; yet, he no doubt, was taught how to throw a letter by a Negro clerk. Funny, isn't it? The same paper tells how disgusting it is for the white clerks to have to sleep by a colored clerk, and to use the same towel. Oh! so disgusting; and yet, before he took the examination he knew the existing conditions, it made no difference then, and after the examination we venture to say, that he spent many a sleepless night wondering if he was going to be lucky enough to get a car at all, and no doubt would have consented to sleep back to back with any clerk. But as soon as he is appointed and sheds his squab feathers than he begins to find fault, and his first victim is the same Negro, perhaps, that taught him to throw a letter. So those who mean to do right, we advise you to never accept a position where you are over a white man, because it is a wrong, according to a few pinheaded Democrats, and from the following statement of the Postmaster-General published in "The Harpoon." The Ineficient Must Go. "This decision in my opinion will be carried out in spirit and letter, and means that the Negro railway mail clerks and postal clerks who have been drones in the service might as well look around themselves for other employment. "The postmaster-general also expressed himself as being not only willing, but anxious to remedy any wrongs that had been done to faithful postal employes under the Republican administration. Hundreds of cases of this nature have occurred, particularly in the South. "I am very gratified to be able to say to the people of Atlanta and of Georgia that within a very short time, if the second assistant postmaster-general follows instructions, the service will be very much improved, and that the men who have been disgruntled, and very justly so, will have justice meted out to them in full measure for any wrongs that may have been done them in the past." Albuquerque, New Mexico, is to have an up-to-date Negro Fashion store. "A fine line of hats and hair goods and "a complete line of Parisian fashions are what the proprietress advertises. A firm by the name of Brown and Parson has recently opened a modern garage in Albuquerque. Their cars with total valuation are one Chalmers, $1,450; one Pierce and Arrow, $1,650; one Thomas Flyer, $1,690; one Limourine, $6,500. SAYER'S MEMORIAL The Rev J. W Sayers, D. D., who was a very influential member of the Philadelphia Conference, bequeathed to the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church the sum of $2,000 for the building of a memorial church within the bounds of the Philadelphia Conference to bear the name of "Sayer's Memorial," such bequest being payable upon the death of his widow, Mrs. J. W. Sayers. Mrs. Sayers is willing to make the amount designated payable as soon as some matters, now under consideration, may be adjusted. The Philadelphia Annual Conference pledged itself to co-operate with the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension and Mrs. Sayers in bringing to completion the desired enterprise. A STORY The Metropolitan magazine for May contains an illustrated story under the head, "A Black Martha and Her School" It is the history of a lone colored woman, Mary McLeod, by name, later Mrs. Bethune, who conceived the idea of educating the children in her vicinity. She was educated in North Carolina and Chicago, funds for which, the story says, was furnished by a hard working seamstress of Denver, Colo. Since October, 1904, the school, under opposition and difficulty, has grown wonderfully—from five students in all, being taught to keep house, with a box covered with a rag carpet, to a school with 100 pupils and all the modern improvements. COLORED MILITIA Reports have it that New York and Pennsylvania have bills in the legislature for mustering and maintaining a Negro militia. This is a grand thing; the Negro makes the best soldier, and all states should go on record as having a militia. Illinois has a regiment with all collored officers and is classed among the best in the United States. Colorado should be next. Monday is school election. Everybody vote. Mr. Harry. Cowell spent several days in the city, leaving for home Wednesday night. State historian & Natural History Society The Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY 8TH REGT. BAND TO LEAD INAUGURAL PARADE In the reproduction of the Inaugural parade held in Chicago recently, the famous Negro band was selected out of the thousand other bands, black and white, to lead the parade. The Defender speaks of it by saying: It is an honor that pleases every member of the band. Leader Berry says that "Merit Wins." We were selected because the best critics say that the '8th' is the best band to march behind in the United States." This musical organization is the pride of the entire world. There are many concert bands but this is the only Military band. Proud of the many laurels that came to them, Leader Berry and Col. John R. Marshall have built up a strong organization. Rehearsals are held every week. The invitation to participate in the Press Club Scoop will no doubt influence their friends to a greater support of their musical efforts which is the desire of every member. EQUAL PROTECTION Mr. Richard E. Westbrook, president of the Men's Civic Club of Chicago, has appealed to the vice-investigating commissioners not to overlook the condition of the colored women. He call attention to the "low economic condition of the colored women and the small wages which they receive in domestic service and small business firms." In addition to this, "thousands of them are excluded from earning an honest living in many of the great industries of the State on account of race and color. If the low wage is a menace to the white women in the industries, the lack of an opportunity to earn any wage at all is a still greater menace to general moral conditions in Illinois. The moral condition of the white women of Illinois is inseparable from the moral condition of the colored women, and the morals of the white women are not safe so long as conditions exist which prey upon the morals of the colored women. Any attempt to solve the one without the other is little more than scratching the social evil upon the surface."—The Crisis.

Noted Institution For Higher Education Faces Serious Situation. Fisk university, the most noted Negro institution for higher education, is facing a serious crisis in its attempt to raise an endowment fund. The institution was offered $60,000 more than two years ago by the general education board on condition that it raise $240,000 in addition for liquidation of accumulated indebtedness of about $50,000 for repairing and refitting buildings, for the installation of a heating and lighting plant and for endowment. An amount of $500,000 was to be raised, two-thirds of which was to go for endowment. The institution has run all these years almost entirely through the support from year to year of white friends in the north. About 200 of these white friends have contributed toward the present endowment effort, but the total amount given leaves $104,000 yet to be raised. The time limit of the initial offer of the general education board expires June 1, and the university authorities have no assurance that this time limit will be extended. The alumni are carrying on a loyal rally to raise $25,000 as their share in the fund, but there will still remain nearly $100,000, which must be secured from other friends. The white friends of the Negro have contributed generously to this fund and now are asking what the colored people propose to do. The authorities of the university are making a nation wide appeal to the colored people to rally to the rescue of this institution, which for forty-seven years has offered all that is highest and best in education. Thrifty Afro-Americans Making Good. The total population of both races in Guliford county, N. C., in 1910 was 60,497. About 15,000 of this number were credited to the colored people. The number of acres of land owned by the colored people in the county is estimated at 16,000, not including town lots. In 1900 the colored population was 11,103. There has been a steady increase in both numbers and property ownership within the past decade, and this is continuing, with much credit to the race and profit to the common- wealth. Ross Indorsed For Recorder of Deeds Lending Democrats of New York, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan and other states in congress have indorsed James A.

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.

Colored Americans have no fear or misgivings as to the continuance of their crafts, such as the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Masons and organizations of similar object and aim for mutual betterment. In this particular it would be well to consider the fact that the race is free from the will of the oppressor and that caste legislation has no part in the makeup of the men and women of character and thrift who constitute the great body of Afro-American secret and benevolent organizations in the United States.

We have before us an article which contains the number of legislatures before whom the "full crew bill" was introduced. Just as there has been an organized movement to have anti-marriage measures passed in the various legislatures throughout the country, it seems that there is and has been a well engineered plan on foot to have the colored railroad porter eliminated from service in the West, North and Southwest, although several states (including Colorado) have refused to consider the discrimination. The Locomotive Brotherhood is said to be behind the movement. The scheme is to have the employment of only union trainmen and prevent the Negro from acting in that capacity at all. The Negro seemed disorganized, indifferent and some divided over the method of handling the situation. But, Mr. Railroad Man, don't you know that this same Brotherhood which excludes you will come back doubly prepared and strengthened to carry through their measures next time? We say, and common sense dictates, that you prepare now for after while, because after while will be now. Organize your men, appoint your committee, not only to defend you in the legislature but also to investigate the securing of homesteads, so that if the blow is struck, you can step from the railroad to your farm. There is absolutely no excuse for delay; no reason why you ought not take up some land for future uses. Use your job today for a stepping stone of tomorrow. The land is very accessible and reasonable to obtain and for that reason we appeal to you to THINK of the dangers, trouble and discouragements ahead. Act now, do it today. ONLY THINK. THE PASSING OF BISHOP DER RICK. Few men of our race in this nation have been more prominently identified in the development of the commercial, religious, political, social and martial life of the Negro than Rt. Rev. W. B. Derrick, bishop of the A. M. E. church. Bishop Derrick soon showed himself to be a ripe scholar, eloquent orator and a fearless champion of human rights, as well as an observant traveler, he was a man of world wide experience. He had no equals among his churchmen of this country and his removal from public life takes off one of the most brilliant, true-and-tried characters in this country. His place can and never will be filled in American history. He was kind, sincere, loyal and devoted to his church and race, and especially did he love America. He was the second of the bishops to die within a month, Bishop Moses B. Salter dying about three weeks ago. May their ashes rest in peace. OATH OF AFRO-AMERICAN YOUTH I will never bring disgrace upon my race by any unworthy deed or dishonorable act. I will live a clean, decent, manly life, and ever respect and defend the virtue and honor of womanhood. I will uphold and obey the just laws of my country and of the community in which I live and will encourage others to do likewise. I will not allow prejudice, injustice, insult or outrage to cower my spirit or humiliate my soul, but will ever preserve the inner freedom of heart and conscience. I will not allow myself to be overcome of evil, but will strive to overcome evil with good. I will endeavor to develop and exert the best powers within me for my own personal improvement, and will strive unceasingly to quicken the sense of racial duty and responsibility. I will in all these ways aim to uplift my race so that, to everyone bound to it by ties of blood, it shall become a bond of ennoblement, and not a byword of reproach. "WHATSOEVER MAN SOETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP." There are 139 candidates for the various offices in this election and many are the pros and cons for and against each one. The committee of 160 seems to be divided and everyone is clamoring for recognition. We have upon the ballot one candidate, and we should see to it that he at least gets our support as first choice. We owe it first to ourselves individually, and second to our race pride collectively. That he is competent goes without saying. He has a chance if we only give him our support. He may not win, but we are satisfied, if we do our duty, everyone will know he was in evidence. Let your watchword be "I will," then do it.

City News BIG NIGHT AT FERN HALL. About 60 couples attended the opening of the new Parisienne Dancing Academy last Monday night at Fern hall, Five Points.

Every Monday night, as long as this opportunity is appreciated, the evening may be passed the same way at the same place. The new dances of the season will be taught and shirt waist balls given during the hot months. F. D. Ratley and C. D. Campbell as managers assure everybody of first-class order and respect.

The attendance was good and the program was carried out as scheduled. All of the musical numbers were creditably rendered. The ladies chorus, while not up to its possibility in number, was not wanting in the quality of its service. Mrs. Minnie Hayes' work at the piano was just what we expected of an artist of her ability and experience. The vocal work of Miss Edith Baker (who, by the way, is to be one of our June graduates) indicated talent and future possibility. As to the literary numbers, Mrs. A. M. Lawhorn's recitation was a happy selection cleverly rendered. The paper of Mrs. Robert L. Pope was the number that so many of us had been anxious to hear. It brought forth a number of interesting and personal facts in the life of Harriet Beecher Stowe in such a manner as to make one forget that they were listening to a sketch of her life and work, but it seemed rather the presentation of a real living personal friend. One competent judge of literary merit sald of it that "The paper was the better for the lack of effort at literary adornment." The The whole program was well received and highly profitable to all Mrs. Laura Hill, who presided, did so with a bearing that evidenced experience and good judgment. We say to them all, come again ladies, with your message of good cheer and careful preparation. The names of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Waller and Mrs. Webb were added to the membership. These names and others of our best citizens, amoum them the pastor and wife of one of our leading churches, gives substantial encouragement to those of us who have labored through the many years to maintain a forum for all the people, untrammeled in its discussion of all questions of interest to the people. Meetings held at 2630 Welton street. Two furnished houses for rent at reasonable prices. Patrick-Langston Realty Co. Phone 96514. Charles L. Kirk Candidate for Commissioner of Property OF THE COLORADO LAUNDRY AND TOWEL SUPPLY CO.

The receipts from dues of members amounted to $500. The membership is still increasing, and the society has a cash balance in bank of $1,000.

The reception given by the W. D. Matthew Relief Corps, of which Mrs. Maude Jenkins is president, was a delightful affair. It was in honor of the former high school graduates, the present high school students and this year's graduates. Among the numbers on the very excellent program which was rendered was the oration by Mr. Leslie Pleasant, a member of the graduating class in June. He is a young man of exceptional ability and a musician of considerable talent. Club Notes. The City Federation met with Mrs. Rose Moore Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Career of a Thrifty Virginian Whose Success is an Encouragement to His Neighbors to Continue Their Efforts to Better Conditions—Owner of Summer Resort. Norfolk, Va.—By thrift and persistence, with a fixed aim in view, Lennuel W. Bright of this city has become a most successful business man. He is a native of this place, and owing to his genial disposition and interest in all good movements for the advancement of the race he is well known for miles out in the rural districts as Lem Bright. It is not strange that Mr. Bright should engage in business, because his father was a successful merchant, and from him young Bright received many lessons in business management, which he later put to good use. His early education was very limited. He did not remain in the public school long before he struck out for a business career, in which he has gained both knowledge and experience. The first business venture of this young man was the ice business. While M. B. H. yet a boy he got together money enough to get hold of a wagon and went into the ice business. In this way he was able to lay aside a few dollars for a rainy day or perhaps to make larger business investments. The larger ice dealers of Norfolk united and froze the smaller dealers out. It being a cold business, Bright suffered with the rest and soon found himself confronted with the problem of finding another job. But he had in him the elements to make a successful business man; hence he did not become discouraged. He was employed by the famous Charles Egts in Mr. Egts' balmy days—in the days when almost everything he touched turned to money. Mr. Egts liked Bright, and Bright in turn liked Egts, and they labored together for years as employer and employee. For five years this relation was kept up, and death claimed Mr. Egts, and there was left the son. Bright all the time had been learning business and business methods; hence he was on such friendly terms with the family that he could talk business to the younger Egts and suggested that he would like to try a little business for himself. Young Egts was willing to help him, so business was started. Success attended the efforts to such an extent that Bright thought his people needed a first class hotel in Norfolk, as the Jamestown exposition was fast approaching. He already had a frame building in which he did a fair restaurant business, just the ordinary southern boarding house. Mr. Bright enlarged his business at considerable expense for the accommodation of visitors to the Jamestown exposition, but did not realize enough to cover his expenses. This failure to realize a profit from his hotel business was a great setback to him; but, having faith in himself, he worked on until he had paid all his indebtedness. He purchased a piece of property near Harpton Roads and fitted it up as a summer resort, which he calls Little Bay Beach. This gave him a new start. Mr. Bright has been interested in every enterprise for the uplift of his people. He is a member of the National Negro Business league and has on several occasions entertained Dr. Booker T. Washington. During the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, 1908. Dr. Washington and his private secretary stopped at the Mount Vernon hotel and were served a banquet after his famous address to the general conference. Dr. Du Bois on Long Lecture Tour.
