Has Wonderful Chance to put Denver on Woodmen Map. Strong Insurance Company Backs Him Up.
A. C. Cash, who came to our city some ten years ago, has made himself felt as an organizer. When the True Reformers were in their balmiest days, when Denver could boast of ten fountains, when all the leading business, professional and tradesmen were connected with that organization, the fraternal spirit and enthusiasm was at its highest point in Denver. The American Woodmen, having carefully scrutinized Mr. Cash's church record at Zion Baptist church and after making such
A. C. CASH.
other neccessary investigations as they deemed proper and sufficient, hired him to do for them what he did for a foreign fraternal society. The Star feels proud of the American Woodmen, because its headquarters are in Denver; because it is of Negro brain and business acumen and has met the conditions of every Southern State Insurance Department and, further because only recently it bought $30.000 worth of Denver bonds.
We are proud of Mr. Cash because he has, a genius for organization and has made good along his line. We, therefore, take great pleasure in introducing the new fraternal organization formally to our readers and patrons. May you know them better and in turn may they know you better.
Why should men be valued according to accident of generation? This condition is certainly a lapse to barbarism deeper than any imagine. Men should not be condemned racially but individually.
The world shall learn that it is not the race but the spirit; not the constitution of blood or color of skin, but conduct that differentiates between men.—Rabbi Hirch.
The toad beneath the harrow knows precisely where each sharp tooth goes.—Old Proverb.
In Memoriam.
THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WORLD
Mrs. Ida D. Bailey died at Washington D. C., Feb. 8, 1908. Noble and brave hearted, race-loyal, true to principle, unselfesh, devoted race woman. None have yet come to fully fill her place in the struggle of colored Americans for freedom in the land of their birth—needed more now than ever as color line reaches Congress. The farewell message of Mrs. Bailey to Colored Americans:
"I leave this message for those who love me:"
Live for God.
Give your heart to Him and your life, if need be, for the emancipation of the Negro race in this land of his birth.
Eight race discrimination
Fight the "Jim Crow cars."
Lend a hand to Monroe Trotter; hold up his hands, for if you don't agree with all his methods, you know he is honest in this question. Hold up his hands.
God hates a coward; be brave men; be brave women.
I shall not rest in heaven, but look down from above, if I can, and continue my interest.
God bless my poor race, and lead them on through the this wilderness.
C. A. BURTON
Prominent Odd Fellow.
The congenial ex-District Grand Master of the Odd Fellows conferred the Patriarchal degree on ex-Grand Master John F. Davis of Silver Bow lodge, Helena, Montana. The service was very impressive.

Denver Needs A
Vigilance C
Vigilance Comi
Vigilance Committee.
A Call To Arms.
There is scarcely a community in the U. S. where a group of colored reside that ought to have its vigilance committee; some have them. Sometimes this committee is organized and has a name indicating its function. Sometimes it is organized for other purposes and becomes a vigilance committee on occasion. In other cases the committee has no regular organization or membership; it springs into being on occasion, but consists of approximately the same group of persons from year to year. The work of these vigilance committees is to protect the colored people in their several communities from aggression. The aggression takes form of hostile laws, ordinances, curtailment of civil rights, new racial discrimination, overtax or over severe enforcement of the law, curtailment of opportunities, etc. Sometimes this aggression is but the careless act of thoughtless folk and needs but a word in season to correct it. More often it is a part of that persistent underground campaign centering largely among white Americans of Southern birth, which is determine to so intrench the color caste in the U. S. as to make it impossible for any person of Negro blood to be more than a menial. Against both sorts of racial aggression organized effort is necessary. Many thoughtful colored people have sought to avoid this: to act independently and to refuse to meet organization by organization. This in most cases has been found impossible. The blows of racial and color prejudice fall alike on all, rich and poor, educated and ignorant and all must stand together and fight. The methods of these vigilance committees are various. The simplest action is the appointment of a committee of one or more to call on some official or person of influence; from this action extends to letters and the press, pamphlets, legislative hearings, mass meetings, petitions, etc. In a few cases threats and violence have been attempted, but these are at present exceptional. From this procedure on the part of tens of thousands of largely isolated groups much actual good has been done and much experience accumulated. The time is now evidently at hand to find and pool this nationwide experience and to systematize this scattered local effort into steady, persistent and unwavering pressure. As it is, unorganized local effort loses much time and energy in re-organizing for every new object; organized local efforts lack experience and knowledge of similar action elsewhere. Henceforth we must act together and we must fight continuously.
The object of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to federate local committees among colored people in every community in the U. S.; to co-ordinate their activities, to exchange experiences and to concentrate the application of funds where the need is the greatest. May Crisis. In Denver such an important organization is greatly needed. Today along our public streets these signs are printed and impudently displayed with the greatest impunity, "We cater to white people only," at the Colonial theatre; "Colored trade not wanted," at the Paris theatre, a block apart on Curtis street; around the corner on 18th street below Champa street, "White Peoples' Restaurant;" in the next block above on Champa, "Nigger head bullets,' with a picture of a black face painted on a lump of coal. All this discrimination within a radius of two blocks along the throughfares of our city. What are we doing about it? What are we going to do about it? The answer is to form the above committee and do as directed as by Dr. DuBois and meet organization with organization. Then organize a local branch of that Crisis society here. We, in Colorado are in the greatest fight of our lives; we must fight to retain our civil rights, citizenship and political rights. Every day new aggressions are made against us and we must either fight together or fight apart. The Star says organize systemmatically with good substantial, cool-headed men of honor and integrity at the head. Eschew the politician, the truckler, the grafter and the notoriety-seeker. Organize for business and then do it. The Peoples' Sunday Alliance has a meeting at 2630 Welton street, Sept. 21. Let this meeting be a nucleus for the Vigilance Committee.
Interesting News Concerning the Race.
SOLDIERS MISTREATED IN THE PHILIPPINES
Members of 24th Infantry, Compelled to Labor Daily, Including Sunday--Work with Picks and Shovels in Mud and Water--White Soldiers Exempt from Hardships.
Special to The New York Age. It is asserted by soldiers of the 24th Regiment, U. S. Infantry, stationed at this point, that they are the victims of rank discrimination and injustice, in that they are relieved from soldier's regular duty and compelled to labor every day, including Sundays, with picks and shovels in the mud and water. It is also said that their tents are pitched in swamps where the water flows under the cots, and that the soldiers have to tie their shoes to the cot legs to keep them from washing away.
This regiment has been stationed here for three months and during that time have had to work night and day during some periods. The white soldiers are not required to do this work and some of them sit around and jeer and ridicule the Negro soldiers at work in the mud. There are 1,200 native prisoners at this station, and when the rain starts they are taken in. The native prisoners it is said, frequently ask the Negro soldiers if they are prisoners, and want to know why they have to work in the rain.
Conditions for the Negro soldier at this station are getting worse every day. The food is plentiful, but is half cooked, and hardly more than slops. The soldiers are faithful and willing and are trying to do their duty under these adverse circumstances, but they feel very keenly the humiliating discrimination from from which they are suffering.
Negro Girl's Big Tax.
A Negro girl ten years old will pay the largest income tax in Oklahoma. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee, has an income of more than $112,000 a year.
It is the old story of the lucky allottee and the oil well Sarah is' the descendant of a Creed freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her allotment and probably has never seen it and does not know where it is. But it is 160 acres of land and upon it has been drilled the biggest producing well in the mid-continent field. This is what is known as the Jones Gusher, near the town of Cushing. The well is producing more than $2,500 a day, and Sarah gets one-eighth as her share.

Army, Navy and Post Office Service May Not Have Any More Negroes.
At a caucas of Democratic congressman, Friday night, to decide on the patronage policy, it was voted to dismiss all the Negro employees at the Capitol, and give their places to white men. This is to include the barbers and waiters, who are employed at the Capitol building and in the Senate and House Office building, as well as the messengers and laborers. From time immemorial the Negro barber and waiter have had undisputed monopoly of the barbering in the Senate and House barber shops, and of the waiting in the Senate and House cafes. These are, however, to be dismissed and white men put in their positions.
During the caucus one Southern Democratic congressman referring to places held Negroes which, in his opinion should be filled by whites, proclaimed that the niggers are all Republicans, and I never in my life saw a nigger Democrat. This statement is regarded here as a slam at the democracy of Bishop Walters and his coterie of alleged Negro Democrats who supported the election of President Wilson. In consequence of the Democratic caucus decision to make a clean sweep of Negroes employed by Congress there is consternation among the several hundred of them employed, many of whom have gray in the service. That it will work a hardship is known, but the Southern Democrat is in the saddle here, and he is rapidly recovering all he ought to preserve, and all the Northerners fought in the Civil War to take from him. It is but a question of a short time, it is believed, when this same Democratic anti-race policy will extend Negro Civil Service employes. Already one young colored woman has been dismissed from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving for refusing to accept and abide by the segregation rules, and three Negro male clerks in the Treasury Department were threatened with dismissal if they again used other than the jim-crow toilet rooms.

CAMPBELL CHAPEL, A. M. E. CHURCH.
Corner Twenty-third and Lawrence Streets. Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D. D., Pastor.
Good congregations greeted the pastor at each service last Sabbath and the offerings were such as would make any earnest pastor's heart glad. Rev. J. H. Brown of Ogden, Utah, preached to the enlightenment and edification of a large congregation in the evening, after which the members gave him a nice financial lift on his way to conference.
Father Bray of the Indiana conference will be in charge until the arrival of the pastor from conference.
Sister Taylor is able to be at her work again after a painful and dangerous fall from a street car.
The farewell reception on Monday evening, in which every department of the church took part, was such as has seldom been seen in Campbell. There was a spirit of good fellowship and love running through it all as would send any preacher to his conference with rejoicing. The pastor paid a high tribute to the faithfulness of the officers and members and reported that $3,096.80 had been collected during the year. The church is left with the floating debts met and the insurance and interest on the mortgage paid. Some of the debts paid ran back as far as six years. Tuesday morning at 3:50 the pastor, accompanied by several of his colleagues, boarded the Santa Fe flyer for Albuquerque, the seat of the annual conference, with "Success" in large letters perched upon his banner.
The members and friends are invited to hear Father Bray tomorrow and enjoy the good singing of the choir. Let everybody be found at their post during the sitting of the conference.

Rev. Robert L. Pope, Pastor.
When the reports of the year's work were read at the public board meeting Monday night, all hearts were thankful to God for the great success of the church under the leadership of the able Rev. R. L. Pope. Rev. Pope has won for himself a secure place in the hearts of Shorter and of Denver because of his sterling worth as a man and a gospel minister. The prayer is that he may be returned to labor among us for another year. He and wife left early Tuesday for Albuquerque, N. M., the seat of the annual conference.
The regular order of services will be observed Sunday.
Sunday School at 10 a. m. Let all the children be present, and as many of the parents as possible. There is nothing so effective in child training as example.
Preaching at 11 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. The choir will have special music at both of these services.
The A. C. E. League holds its very interesting meetings at 6:45 p. m. Do not miss this profitable hour.
The new pastor, accompanied by the bishop and wife, will return Monday to be present at the Hugh Buchanan recital at 8:15 p. m. The ushers are planning a welcome reception for them. Do not fall to be present and add your greeting.
Don't suffer longer with weak kidneys. You can get prompt relief by (taking Electric Bitters, that wonderful remedy praised by women everywhere.

As matters of very weighty importance transpired last Tuesday at the sessions of Denver Presbytery, the congregation are asked to turn out in full force when Elder J. I.

The Session of the church will meet next Wednesday night at 9 o'clock to examine candidates for confirmation for full membership.
Sunday afternoon, Sept. 28th, the sacrament of baptism will be administered to adults and children for membership, after which confirmation of baptismal vows will take place. The Session will make ample provision for those candidates who will be unavoidably out of the city at the time of confirmation.
PETITION FOR SQUARE DEAL.
Afro-American Citizens Asked to Observe Day of Special Prayer.
The National Independent Political league requests that every clergyman in the United States observe Sunday, Sept. 14, 1913, as Equal Rights Sunday and have special prayers and sermons offered for the cause of human rights. Colored American citizens are denied these rights even by the federal government itself. Petition Almighty God and appeal to the people to fight against this sin.
Every church among us, every literary association, every lodge, every equal rights society in the United States, is urged to send a delegate to the sixth annual meeting of the National Independent Political league at Boston, Sept. 16-18, 1913. Also citizens who do not belong to any particular organization are invited to attend.
MEETING OF INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE SEPT. 16.
President Byron Gunner Issues Call For Sixth Annual Convention.
Boston.—Declaring that "at no time since the issuance of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation has there been a time when the civil and social rights of colored Americans were more impelled than they are today." President Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N. Y., has issued the call for the sixth annual meeting of the National Independent Political league to meet in Boston Sept. 15, 10 and 17.
All independent thinkers and voters among colored American are invited to meet in national conference to "devise ways and means for a campaign in defense of our oppressed people." The call declares that unless united resentment is shown the race is doomed to be "the greatest mass of political serfs and social outcasts that ever cursed a civilized nation."
As the majority of the league supported the Wilson ticket, it is significant that the call recites "the evident policy of the present national administration in segregating colored employees." This the league urges the race to resent by letter and petitions. The convention is to be a general meeting of colored citizens of various political affiliations who put men and measures above mere party allegiance. All colored Americans who value freedom are urged to join and be present. The league has issued an appeal to all churches in the country to observe Sunday, Sept. 14, as a day of prayer for equal rights—an Equal Rights Sunday. Every colored church is requested to send a delegate to the convention.
The meeting is to be held in the Twelfth Baptist church, Boston, for three days. There will also be excursions and outings and a reception to visitors, with a closing meeting in Faneuil hall. Tremendous preparations are being made to receive delegates.
Equity Congress Grateful to Sulzer.
The equity congress, a civic organization of Afro-American citizens of New York city, recently presented Governor Sulzer of New York with a suitably engrossed set of resolutions thanking him for signing the bill which makes possible a regiment of colored soldiers in the state national guard. The work of getting the regiment in shape is being vigorously pushed by Colonel Charles W. Filmore, who has one battalion ready to muster.
WIDELY KNOWN BUSINESS MAN
Motto by Which A. O. Smith Has Won Success.
BELIEVES IN RACE UPLIFT.
Many Sided Life of a Kentuckian Who Worked His Way From Humble Surroundings to Positions of Honor and Responsibility—Public School Teacher, Tax Collector and Politician.
New Orleans, La.—Entering life just at the close of the war and using as his guide industry, honesty, thrift and reliability, A. O. Smith has pushed his way to the front and now ranks as one of the foremost and best known men of the race in this section of the country. He is directly connected with many enterprises for the development and uplift of the race.
Mr. Smith was born in the hills of Kentucky fifty years ago, his mother being left a widow with seven children to develop into manhood and womanhood, he being the youngest. As soon as he was old enough he was placed in school, where he made rapid progress in his studies. Just how much time was spent in school is not known.
Teaching school was to him a high position, yet he decided that he wanted to be of more service to his people; hence he found his way into Iowa and soon became well known. He took part in politics, believing that it was the avenue through which to help his people. Step by step he advanced and was recognized for his worth. During the deadlock in the legislature of 1888 he was chief doorkeeper, and so well did he discharge his duty that at the close he was rewarded by the body and holds today many testimonials from the men who made up the legislature.
In Des Moines, Ia., he was recognized for service rendered and made assistant tax collector, which was up
M.
HON. A. O. SMITH.
to that time the highest position ever held by a member of the race in that section of the country. It was a position of honor and trust, which he filled well, making many friends both in the city and out. His best recommendation was his word, for when he told a man a thing was going to be done it could be relied upon, and this went long toward making him a place in the world.
In 1894 he conceived the idea that he could be of more service to his people in another section of the country where he could perhaps better serve their needs, hence he plunged right into the south, going to make good. He did not come to idle away his time and, not finding what he desired at the time, he went into the railroad service as a porter, which position he held for three years, then later into the hotel business, making a success of it and at the same time taking hold of everything that meant the uplift of his race. He is proprietor of the Chicago hotel in this city.
Mr. Smith has some very original and practical ideas on how to conduct large business enterprises which will afford an opportunity to the public to secure more profitable employment. He is working on plans now for several lines of business which he hopes may prove of value to the race in several of the larger cities of the country when put into effect. He is widely known in the south and west and has many friends among the foremost white men in public and private life. In speaking of his plans Mr. Smith said:
"I consider that if the colored people of the United States and the countries south of us are to be anything they must do something. They must not expect to sit down and have others do for them what they should do for themselves.
"We are turning out from our schools and colleges every year thousands of boys and girls, and if they are to have something to do it is up to us to make places for them. With 10,000,000 people all spending money, they can demand more recognition by uniting, making places, and this will cause others to seek them, and the stores that now close their doors to negroes will seek them for the money they spend."

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.

Dedicates New Edifice at Founder's Day Exercises.
Time Honored Institution of Learning Observes Birthday of General S. C. Armstrong In Connection With Completion of Clarke Hall—Dr. William J. Schieffelin Delivers Address.
Hampton, Va.-The new Hampton institute Y. M. C. A. building, known as Clarke hall, was dedicated on Sunday, Feb. 2, at the time of the founder's day celebration. The dedication address was delivered by Dr. William J. Schieffelin of New York city, who is a trustee of Hampton institute. The Y. M. C. A. building, designed by Ludlow & Peabody and built for the most part by Hampton institute tradesmen, is a two story brick structure seventy feet wide by forty-five feet deep, exclusive of two verandas and a terrace at the rear. On the ground floor there are the loggia, flanked by two offices, a large cen-
DR. HOLLIS B. FRISSELL.
tral hall at the northeast end, in which there is a room for games, and at the southwest end a writing room containing a large fireplace faced with pressed brick. On the second floor there will be found several rooms suitable for Bible study classes and offices and a good sized auditorium. This floor plan is so arranged that the auditorium and classrooms can be thrown open for large gatherings. There is also a gallery around three sides of the auditorium.
The front view of Clarke hall is simple, but attractive. The shafts of the six columns at the loggia entrance are formed of especially molded brick, with bases and caps of brownstone. The second story contains French windows with wrought iron balconies. The building is conspicuous for the free use of the flat or segmental arch.
Over the loggia entrance is a terra cotta panel with the inscription "Clarke Hall." The roof of the main building is covered with first quality sea green slates. The interior of the Y. M. C. A building is finished in chestnut, with a wax finish. The furnishings throughout will be simple, but substantial. Clarke hall will be a social center for the boys of Hampton institute. About $33,000 will be spent for the building and equipment, including furniture, pictures, books and other necessary articles for a well organized Y. M. C. A. and student recreation center.
The Hampton Institute Y. M. C. A. building has been made possible by the gift of $30,000 by Mrs. Charles S. Clarke of New York as a memorial to her husband. Dr. Frissell has said of the Hampton Institute Y. M. C. A.: "Of the 500 young men 350 are members of the Young Men's Christian association. This is a very active organization. Its representatives correspond with accepted applicants before they enter the school, meet them at the boats and trains, care for their comfort and give them needed information."
WASHINGTON STARTS ENGINE
An Unprecedented Number Witnesses Launching of Mammoth Manufacturing Enterprise in Famous Mississippi Town—Charles Banks the Master Spirit of the Achievement Plant Represents $100,000.
Mound Bayou, Miss.—According to the most conservative estimate, 10,000 persons were present at the formal opening of the cottonseed oil mill and manufacturing plant which occurred in th: town the last week in November. They came in great throngs on special trains from New Orleans, Memphis, Vicksburg, Jackson, Natchez and Greenville.
Dr. Booker T. Washington, accompanied by Mrs. Washington, came direct from Boston in the busiest period of his great work in the interest of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute for the purpose of making the principal address and pulling the cord that blew the first whistle marking the formal completion and opening of the $100,000 oil mill manufacturing enterprise which the Negroes of Mississippi, under the guidance and direction of Charles Banks, master spirit and president of the Mississippi State Negro Business league, have been promoting for the past four years.
How the "A. F." Cadet Corps Idea Was Started.
FUTURE OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Military Training In the Interest of Irregular Sunday School Lads to Receive Attention—Views of the Father of the Scheme—How to Start a Corps.
Nashville, Tenn.—One of the new features brought forward at the recent session of the Sunday school congress held in Muskogee, Okla., was the starting of the "A. F." cadet corps among boys who are not regular attendants of any Sunday school. The movement is already becoming quite popular, and the directors of the congress are very much encouraged over the future outlook for the movement. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the congress, says that the originator of this feature got his inspiration from the enthusiasm displayed by small boys on the street, who often indulge in playing soldier.
The father of the cadet corps idea is Dr. W. H. Crawford, superintendent of the Second Baptist church Sunday school in Austin, Tex., of which the Rev. Dr. L. L. Campbell is pastor. This school has the largest enrollment of any in the congress. In speaking of the work Dr. Crawford says:
"For years it has been dawning upon our minds that we were fast facing a crisis in our denominational life when we would find ourselves without strong men upon whose shoulders would rest the responsibility of extending the Master's kingdom in the world. We have noticed the scarcity of men in our churches and the predicament of our churches in being hampered because of their inability to find proper material to man the various positions of trust.
"We have watched the various men's movements in this country, whose efforts are bent largely on heading off the impending crisis. Both in church and Sunday school the ratio of attendance is easily five to one in favor of the female. Evidently there is a cause producing this effect, and that cause should be discovered and the proper remedy applied. We are of the opinion that we are not paying the necessary attention to the boy, and hence the indifference of the man."
The cadet movement, like all other movements for good, is bent heavenward. It seeks to create a wholesome moral and congenial atmosphere around the boy by inculcating in him many unique features which will appeal to that interest universal among boys. The boy likes the spectacular, the aesthetic and the humorous—that which enlivens and gratifies his notions and whims. He is not given to a great extent to the consideration of the serious side of life; hence in order to win him we must cater somewhat to his peculiar traits, but in doing this so maneuver as to fix within him at the same time those basic principles upon which may rest elements of true manhood. This is one of the things that is aimed at in the organization of the "A. F." cadets.
Another idea involved is to ever keep in mind that the boy of today is to be the man of tomorrow, and whatever the needs of this time or the needs of the time to come as to disposition, habits, character, etc., should be molded into the life of the boy of today and not wait until he becomes the man of tomorrow. The cadet movement starts in the Sunday school as a distinct department, subject to all rules and regulations of the school. This department its character, etc., should be molded one boys each, but all under the command of a captain. This division is made on the basis of size. Any boy may become a member of the cadet department who will join and attend the school.
Omega mercant's Timely Message or Hope to Afro-Americans.
Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the noted merchant and philanthropist of Chicago, in a recent address to the colored citizens of his home city, gave utterance to the following sentiment which he termed a message of hope.
He said: "Let me give you a message of hope. To quote the words of another man, the best, the humane, the most civilized, the just, the most intelligent of the white people are your friends. Those who have the greatest, noblest sympathy are your friends. Your enemies are the enemies of liberty, of progress, of justice. The noble living are your friends and the noble dead were your friends."
The Downingtown Industrial School Applications thus far received from prospective students indicate that the Downingtown Industrial school, Downingtown, Pa., will have the largest enrollment the coming school year of any in its brief but interesting career President William A. Creditt, LL. D., and the board of trustees are taking time by the forelock in making plans for the accommodation of a large number in excess of the past year. Our people throughout the state are beginning to see now as never before the necessity for such an institution as the Downingtown school. If given the proper support under the present efficient management it will soon take its place among the leading institutions of its class in this country. The school year for 1913-14 begins Sent. 6.

THE LOGIC OF DENVER'S THEATER COLORPHOBISTS. INDICATIONS OF
The equality of rights before the law begets equality of opportunities. Equality of opportunities begets friends, confidence and security. Inequality of rights makes unequal conditions, which in turn begets injustice, discrimination and hatred. The logical end of hatred is murder. Race discriminations are the traditional methods of hatred of human beings. It's end is lynching, war and extermination. To say this thus bluntly and brutally is to invite strong denial. Race prejudice has often been professed by men of highest ideal and motive, who would shrink at violence o fany kind. But this is because such men are deliberately illogical, and their followers in the long run are not illogical, but carry their leader's doctrine to the bitter end. For instance, they are not entitled to the same privileges. But suppose they demand rights beyond their desert, then refuse them; they keep demanding, silence them by law; if legal means do not keep them in their place, mob law is justifiable. Thus the doctrine of race inferiority runs down to murder. Let us trace it in this country since the war. Negroes, being inferior, ought not to vote, said the reconstruction protesters. The nation, therefore, consented to their disfranchisement with the distinct understanding that all their other rights and privileges were to be preserved. But if a man is not fit to vote why educate him and make him discontented? Consequently education which was so successful that today there are 2,000,000 Negroes not even enrolled and practically half the Negro children in the land are not being decently trained in elementary schooling. True, but one will give them good industrial training, make them skilled workmen, so that they can nsave their money and buy property. No, answers the white workman, they will compete with me an dlower my wages. No, cries the home-owner, I don't want Negroes in my block. Very well, says the compromiser, segregate Negroes in a ghetto. But, answered the Negro, the Ghetto is in the worst part of the city, is unhealthy, ill-cared for, filled with prostitutes whom you segregate with us, and we can better our condition because we cannot vote. What then is the next step? Are we not harking right back to slavery? Is there any logical resting place on this downward path between a theory of inferiority and a theory of mob violence and extinction? No. The man who begins by saying, "This man is not entitled to equal rights with me," ends by either himself saying or letting others say, "Lynch the Nigger." What lies beyond if the nation, the state, the city will allow these attacks upon a struggling, persevering people to succeed? DUBOIS.

Fifty Years of Freedom Forecast Great Future.
POWER IN UNITED EFFORTS
Lessons From the Achievements of a Young Physician Who Has Gained Wide Distinction For Special Knowledge—Made Good as State Delegate to International Medical Congress.
Louisville, Ky.—With all the forces of organized professional and business life actively engaged in the various lines of work for the amelioration of conditions among the masses of Afro-Americans in the United States, greater things which make for manhood and citizenship may be expected of the race in the future.
Fifty years of effort, with many handicaps backed by true ambition, self reliance and unfaltering hope, have wrought wonders in the moral and intellectual condition of the colored race in America.
The success of Dr. Pinder M. Flack of this city is evidence of what one can do whose mind is full of hope and who believes in the great possibilities which lie in the distance for the man who knows how to overcome difficulties. This fifthth year of freedom should mean much to the race in moral stamina and encouragement. The story of Dr. P. M. Flack, which follows, is both interesting and inspiring: Dr. Pindar M. Flack, son of B. R. and Mary C. Flack, was born at Alexander, N. C., Nov. 15, 1878; attended the county schools from six to nine years of age, then took an academic course at Asheville, N. C. He entered Swift's Memorial college at fifteen years of age and finished the normal department at seventeen.
At nineteen he entered the medical department of Knoxville college and graduated therefrom at twenty-three. He immediately located in Louisville, Ky., and did a general practice of medicine for four years, during which he decided to specialize in surgery. In 1906 he gave up his practice temporarily and went to Chicago and took a special course in surgery and applied anatomy at the Illinois Medical college. now a department of Loyola university.
He returned to Louisville and began in a larger way the practice of surgery. Since that time he has been quite successful in his profession. He has filled the chair of surgery at the Louisville National Medical college for four consecutive years and has been officially connected with the Red Cross sanitarium for eight years.
In 1908 he was appointed by Acting Governor W. H. Cox as a delegate to help represent Kentucky at the international congress on tuberculosis, which convened in Washington. The sessions covered three weeks. He accepted and was one of the three colored delegates present among 5,000 from all quarters of the globe. He took an active part in helping to devise means for the work of that important body. While in the east he visited the following hospitals-for the care of sick colored people-viz: The Freedmen's at Washington, the Mercy and the Frederick Douglass* hospitals in Philadelphia. He studied their structure, their methods of sanitation and modus operandi generally so that he might carry back to his home city helpful hospital suggestions and to his collaborers improvements in surgical technique.
He is an indefatigable worker for the uplift of his people, being at present an active officer in his church, on the Y. M. C. A. board and president, of the Falls City Society of Physicians, Surgeons, Pharmacists and Dentists.
The five best players of the eleven, according to Mr. Henderson, are Captain Gray, Brice and Slaughter of Howard university and Scott and Warner of Hampton institute.
"To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again, to right the wrongs of many."

To the President of the United State
Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
White House, Washington, D. C.
Sir:]
This is to certify that we, the undersigned, are surprised and indignant that under your administration there should be any rules made by members of your cabinet to segregate employees of the national government by race or color. We protest against this as a plain insult, public degradation, and insufferable injury to Colored Americans, the establishment of caste in this free Republic. We petition you to reverse, prevent and forbid any such movement by your bureau chiefs, in accord with your promise of fair, friendly, just and Christian treatment of your Colored fellow-citizens.
This movement is being fostered by all the leading Colored Journals.

COUNSEL FOR ADVANCEMENT.
Precepts Adopted by the Tuskegee Negro Conference.
The following declarations of principles were adopted by the Tuskegee Negro farmers' conference during its recent session at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama:
"At this twenty-second annual meeting of the Tuskegee annual Negro conference, fifty years after Abraham Lincoln set us free, we rejoice at the evidences we see around us of the progress of the people of our race.
"While we rejoice in the opportunities that have come to us with emancipation, we recognize that complete freedom can come to us only as we gain the knowledge that will fit us to use these opportunities.
"We therefore urge upon our people everywhere, especially upon our teachers and preachers, to see to it that the masses of our people are given the kind of education that will fit them to be honest, industrious and law abiding citizens.
"We advise all of our people through their local conferences, business leagues or other organizations to urge upon the proper authorities and also upon their own people the wisdom and necessity of improving the schoolhouses, lengthening the school terms and of securing teachers who are able to fit the education in the schoolroom to the needs of the community outside.
"We are glad to learn by the last census that during the first fifty years of our freedom something like 70 per cent of our people have learned to read and write. We urge especially upon the farmers of our race to make use of this knowledge, to read the agricultural papers, make themselves acquainted with the best scientific methods of improving their lands, increasing their stock and help to bring in an era in the south when the farmer will stop robbing the land and begin enriching it.
"In this connection we are glad to know that our farmers are making progress, as is shown by the presence here today of a colored man who raised 200 bushels of corn upon one acre of land, thereby winning among 10,000 contestants the second prize offered by the state of Alabama to the farmers who raised the largest amount of corn per acre.
"In conclusion we urge upon all of our people north and south to make this fiftieth anniversary of our freedom the beginning of a more united effort to the end that the progress of the next fifty years may be even more rapid, more enduring and more worthy of the respect of the world than that of the past."
FRATERNAL INSTITUTIONS.
Hearty Support For Those Which
Meet Definite Needs of People
Richmond, Va.—The National Ideal Benefit society, of which A. W. Holmes is the national president, is the youngest fraternal organization in this city. It was organized about six months ago and is forging rapidly to the front. It is filling an important place in this community and in other parts of the state where its claims have been presented to the public.
One of the most encouraging signs of progress in business, education and church life among our people at this the fifteenth year of the race's freedom is the trend toward closer union for mutual upift. The National Ideal Benefit society therefore has not come upon the scene too early, but at a time which calls for concerns of its kind to strengthen the great fraternal chain which must eventually encircle the whole race, protect its members in the time of illness and gloom and give hope and self reliance to those who are making the fight up through difficulties to higher planes of usefulness and citizenship.
The outlook for business enterprises is brighter because a larger number of persons of means and business qualifications are co-operating and giving the benefit of their experience to movements for racial advancement. Again, the business man of today can gather around him better prepared assistants than was possible to do a few years ago. Young men and women of business training may be easily secured. The concern which gives employment to members of the race if properly conducted will prosper.
The fraternal organization which meets the definite needs of the people should receive hearty support. Correct business methods, faithfully kept records and promptly met claims are features of this new mutual benefit society, which is destined to spread throughout the United States. The promoters of the society are well known in the business, religious and educational life of the city.
Among others interested in the amelioration of conditions among our people worthy of mention is the Bragg Bros.' concern for securing better housing for members of the race. Segregation laws cannot stop the progress of the determined, thrifty class of Afro-Americans who know how to overcome difficulties. The Anglo-American finance corporation directed by John Mitchell, Jr., is another strong organization with large possibilities for defeating unjust municipal enactments.
Hospital to Be Opened at Tuskegee
The opening of the newly erected hospital at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute on Thursday, Feb. 27. will be an interesting affair. The principal speaker for the occasion will be Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago. Mr. Julia Rosenwald and many other distinguished visitors are expected to be present. Dr. Hall will hold a clinic at the hospital for a week or ten days before returning to Chicago.
LIGE LANE MAY NOT HANG.
White Women, In Doubt of Prisoner's Guilt, Petition For Life Sentence. According to an Atlanta (Ga.) report, the first week in September a movement was started by well known and influential white women to prevent the hanging of one Lige Lane, a colored man charged with an offense against a white woman. Acting upon this omen of good will and desire for fair play, Lawyer R. G. Dickerson has petitioned the state prison commission to commute the prisoner's sentence to life imprisonment.
Mr. Dickerson told the commissioners that there was grave doubt as to Lane's guilt. Counsel for the condemned man also presented a petition for the commutation of the prisoner's sentence signed by 95 per cent of the white women of Homerville, a town with a population of 437. This is said to be the first time in the history of the state that white women have taken such action in a case of this kind.
