Interesting News Concerning the Race. YOUNG MAN SETS EXAMPLE TO THE RACE. "Labor Conquers All Things' Mr. Thornton Littins, the seventeen year old son of Mrs. C. L. Campbell of 1398 So Clarkson, is our subject of mention this week. We are proud of Mr Littins as he has fought hard and nobly to win what recognition he has secured. He attended Columbia and Garfield public school keeping up with the foremost in his classes, until he went to work for the Regent Shoe Co., last year during the holidays. And the Shoe Co., he- THORNTON LITTINS. came so deeply interested in the young man because of his great possibilities that they secured the present place of employment for him unsolicited. Mr. Roy Washburn of the Washburn Fish Co., a broad christian- like business man, whose very temperment bespeaks congenialty and sunshine, has taken a deeper interest in the boy and promoted him to clerkship, where he has full charge of the store during his employers' absence. He has promised him if he can increase his business $100 a month he will give him $100. Think of that for encouragement!! The young man of color has accepted the offer and has Eugene Baxter as his assistant and the young man is working hard day and night to get the $100. His example has shown that fidelity to work, consideration to his employers' interest and honesty, will pay a great dividend in honor and substantial reward. The Star is proud of the young man. Tim E. Owsley, proprietor the Crown Garden theater at Indianapolis, is doing a business which justifies a weekly pay roll of $400 for help and talent. The Home Protective Association, an insurance with headquarters in Hannibal, Mo., organized and operated by colored men, is doing an excellent business throughout he entire state of Missouri. Pullman Porters Want Larger Salary. Chicago, Ill., Pullman car porters throughout the country are showing interest in the Federation of Pullman Porters of America, recently organized, which has headquarters in the Manhattan Building, this city. The organizers declare that indications are that the federation will soon be able to boast of a large membership. The prime movers of the plan to organize the Pullman porters say a Pullman porter receives but $27.50 a month as a salary, and that it is up to him to hustle for tips if he wants to flash a good sized bank roll; that not only does he receive a small salary, but is charged with all linen shortages, which oft-times amounts to a tidy sum. There are about 12000 Pullman car porters. Norfolk Segregation Law is Invalid. Norfolk, Va.—Police Justice James S. Barron last week rendered a decision on the Norfolk segregation law, declaring the ordinance to be unreasonable, void and invalid. In the opinion of Police Justice Barron, the ordinance providing that the question as to whether a block or section should be white or colored is to be determined by the ownership of the property is unreasonable when it should be determine by resident in the district. Colored Police Made Sergeants in Chicago. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 18.—Out of the four hundred new sergeants appointed by Chief of Police Gleason, seven were colored men. The new colored sergeants are: Wilson Jones, headquarters; Lilbum Jackson, Stanton Avenue Station; Chas. D. Rhodes, Stanton Avenue Station; Martelli Parker, Twenty-second Street Station; David H. Smith, Twenty-second Street Station; Julius Glenn, Cottage Grove Avenue Station. Chicago now has one lieutenant of police, seven sergeants and two colored men who are eligible for promotion. L. S. Williams, one of St. Louis' successful colored undertakers, has recently branched out in the monument business and in addition to furnishing funeral service can now supply patrons with grave stones from the simple kind the costly marble or granite monument, all made in his establishment. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 29, 1913 Why The Negro Opposes Segregation, Discrimination and Injustice. For the same reason that anyone else should oppose it—self-interest and human welfare. Because the Negro would like the future of his race and posterity to be secure from want or fear of want. Because deep down in our hearts, consciously or unconsciously, we believe in love and justice, and kindness and hate injustice and contumely. Because we want the best of everything and would get it if we were able and knew how. We would like to see all children raised up under the best condition for producing character, education and health, instead of competing with persons whose conditions borders upon crime and ignorance; in fact, where our children could have every advantage that the children of the most favored could have regardless as to race. Because we like to live in a society where none could profit by wrong instruction and deception. Because we like to live in a society where every citizen has to be useful and loving as the only way in which he can get a living; where enough physical work for to give them a healthy body would be a neccessity, where none could shirk their duties without greater pain than the pleasure in shirking. Because we like to have our children as well educated, dressed and trained as the children of any other parents; because we like to get away from the fear of the future for our dependents; because we like to travel and see something of the world we live in; because we like to get something out of life for ourselves and our children, that is now curtailed and withheld. Because even if we have money, good character and are ambitious we may die in want, or be compelled to leave our property, family and all because of the race prejudice, hate and injustice, which makes uncertainty tag our every moment of our lives; it even rises with us in the morning, follows us all day, comes home with us in the evening and sleeps with us in the bed at night. Because we like to live in a nation where the ablest would be put in places where they could do the best social service; where money, color or race could not put inefficiency in command; where no pull but merit could advance a citizen. Because we like to live in a nation where the cities are or have been built by experts in each occupation, where the streets are or were the finest that science could devise; where the houses were the best and symetrical that architects could work out and where any family could live as good as the best today according to their respective circumstances. Because we like to live in a nation where all children are shouting their joyous way to school instead of being put in the treadmill of economic necessity, and instead of being made to feel they are unwelcome guest; where the school buildings are the finest in the land instead of being some discarded, delapidated building or store room; where the appliances and equipments are the most modern and scientific; instead of being out-of-date and second-hand, having been discarded by the favored class; where the surroundings are the most beautiful, suggestive, sanitary and healthful, instead of being in a part of a city where conditions are most favorable to and savor of crime and immorality. In fine, because we like to live in a nation, a state or a city, where all children and persons can and do enjoy life, for life today gives the Negro little or no satisfaction, because it is one injustice after another and the full joy that should animate every human being from the cradle to the grave is not present and because of the segregation, discrimination and injustice, anxiety invades every home, sits about every hearth, walks with us on the street, accompanies us at our daily occupations, and destroys the full joy of living, which is and has been divinely intended to be the natural heritage of every sentient thing. FINE TRIBUTE TO THE WORK OF HAMPTON INSTITUTE. How Its Founder Foresaw Value of Vocational Education. That Hampton and Tuskegee schools for negroes are valuable not merely as excellent schools for the colored race, but for their important contribution to the present vocational education movement, is the declaration of the United States bureau of education. In a pamphlet just distributed by the bureau, entitled "Education For Life," tribute is paid to the work of Hampton institute and particularly General Armstrong, its founder, who is looked upon by educators as a pioneer in the field of practical education. "General Armstrong possessed to a remarkable degree the gift of educational prophecy," asserts Professor Peabody in the introduction to the pamphlet. "He foresaw and foretold with extraordinary precision the tendencies and transitions which in the last twenty-five years have practically revolutionized the principles of education. The training of the hand and eye as well as the mind, the moral effect of technical skill, the conception of labor as a moral force, the test of education in efficiency and the vanity of education without discipline in thrift. self help, love of work and willingness to sacrifice—all these familiar maxims of modern vocational training were set forth by him with all assurance of a social prophet." The pamphlet includes a brief sketch of General Armstrong's life and a collection of plithy utterances on aims and methods of education, many of which are distinctly helpful to those interested in present problems, according to officials of the bureau of education. It is felt that General Armstrong's theory and demonstration of practical education have proved to be right, not merely for one race, but for mankind generally. Educators to Meet In Boley, Okla. The first meeting of the State Teachers' Association of Oklahoma for 1914 will be held for three days in Boley, Okla., beginning Thursday morning, Jan. 1. The week ending Jan. 3 will be a holiday for teachers. Therefore it is the desire of the officers of the association to have a large attendance of teachers at each session during the three days. MME. CRUMMER'S GREAT BUSINESS SUCCESS Only Business Woman of Color On Principal Street. Has Made Good From Small Beginning. Among the various occupations and vocations in life chosen to gain livelihoods, none has such an intricate and complex study as that of producing a healthy scalp where baldness predominated before. Nothing is more humanly and gratifying in all arts than this art of taking the human head and making the impaired sickly, inefficient and diseased scalps yield a luxuriant growth of hair and nothing is more pleasant to the artist than to impart this knowledge to others, so that humanity in general will be benefited. Madam Crummer after years of self-sacrifice, hard work and persistent study, not only possesses the art but imparts the knowledge. Her daily experiences have taught that civility and pleasing disposition with its warm welcome attributes were not only the essentials of great success, but that they were fortunes of themselves and that he who has these qualities in perfection, is almost sure to get on, where without it, even men of great ability fail. Having been endowed with this gift of a pleasing personality, so tactful and responsive, an essential which has contributed so much toward her success, the Madam easily chose for her life work this delicate art. Taking the diseases of the scalp, which are often the punishment for neglect or ignorance of conditions, that have been apparent for years, Mme. Ada Crummer has made these a careful study, which fact has enabled her to compound her wonderful treatments that cleanses the scalp, destroys dandruff germs and all scalp diseases, prevents the falling out of the hair, reinvigorates the roots of the hair, rejuvenates the scalp and causes it to take on new life, besides producing a beautiful growth of fluffy, silken glossy hair—the object of admiration of all—and those who desire that knowledge should make application to to learn the secret prepared especially for that purpose by this renowned scalp specialist. This is an age filled with discoveries and inventions in which art and science are agents of construction and restoration of the health of the human body, as well as of the scalp. Buckner and Brent, colored men, conduct what is acknowledged to be one of the very best grocery stores in Hopkinsville, Ky., and have a large white patronage. One of the largest and most successful printing establishment conducted by a colored man is the one owned and conducted by C. K. Robinron at St. Louis, Mo.

Science is not only reaching up among the stars, handing down to man definite and certain knowledge of their size, kind, density, atmosphere, orbite and other attributes of the solar system; but it is delving into the bowels of the earth bringing the hidden secrets of the darkened recesses. It is diving into the depth of the mighty oceans bringing up to the surface and sunlight the treasures of knowledge that have lain for ages midst the sea weed and shells. It is exploring flowery fields of the world, and from every herb is gathered some valuable medicinal ingredients—all for man. Her research and her discoveries have given the Madam a keener insight into the art of treating the scalp and teaching its mysteries. Mme. Crnmmer has recently returned to this city, after more than two months' business trip to Chicago where she was sent for to teach her special mode of treating the scalp specifically. Her treatment and teaching was a grand success financially and otherwise. Mme. Crummer expects to respond soon to a call from Aurora, Ill., where she is wanted to teach and introduce her mode of treating and curing the scalp of its many diseases. Thus it is that another of Denver's artists has won for herself, by her superior knowledge, industry, courage and push, an interstate reputation as a scalp specialist, who has made large financial returns. Mme Crummer will conduct her usual business at her Fifteenth Street parlors, where she will be assisted by Mrs. R. K DePriest, the apt student, who so successfully conducted the business in the absence of Mme. Crummer. A special offer is made to all who want to learn the art of treating the scalp specially as taught by Mme. Crummer at her parlors, from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. and at her rooms at 2809 Welton street, between the hours of 7 to 9 p. m., and on Sundays by appointment from 10 a. m. to 11 a. m. Phone Main 5768.

President's Intention to Investigate All Laws Wrongdoing Commended legged Wrangling Commended/ Commenting editorially on President Wilson's decision to inquire into the matter of race segregation in the government service in Washington, the Caribbean-American in a recent issue says: "It is commendable on the part of the chief executive, who has instituted an inquiry into the alleged discrimination said to be in active force at the capital of the nation. "Such an investigation should be carried on with relentless scrutiny and the thoroughness worthy of the cause. Judgment must be suspended while the question is sub Justice. We cannot refrain from some slight animadversion regarding this recent and bold propaganda of complexional prejudice. "First—It is a diagram violation of the fundamental principles of the American constitution. "Second.—It is repugnant to the principles of the Declaration of Independence. "It seems to awake for a moment the voices of the fathers who signed that immortal document; that document which no less a person than Gladstone declared "to be the greatest piece of work every struck off at any time in the history of man"—the Declaration of Independence. "We rejoice to believe that the chosen chief of the nation, the savant of Princeton, cannot, as taught by him in the halls of that eminent institution, for a moment countenance, even give slight countenance to so nefarious a condition, which cannot but in time destroy every foundation on which this great nation rests and allow petulant hands to pull down the magnificent pillars of liberty which have rendered and made this nation great. "We await with patience the verdict. We believe Mr. Wilson will speak in certain and positive terms, no less, no more. He is the judge, the whole nation are the jurors. Ten million people are the defendants. They await with anxiety the judge's opinion." NEW BAPTIST ASSOCIATION FOR NORTHERN NEW JERSEY Organization Receives the Sanction of Well Known Pastors and Laymen. Newark, N. J.—Ministers and delegates from seventeen churches met at Mount Olivet Baptist church in this city recently and formed what is to be known as the North Jersey Baptist association. The meeting was characterized by a sincerity of purpose such as men should possess when they are about to make a new undertaking for a great cause. The ministers and laymen who composed the association represented some of the best material of the Baptist family of the north, such well known men as the Rev. W. T. Watkins, president of the B. Y. P. U. book concern; Rev. A. J. Hubbard, D. D., of Ridgewood, N. J.; Dr. E. E. Jackson, Rev. E. D. Samuels, D. D.; the Rev. Emmit Flowers and the Rev. P. M. Beverley, S. T. B., president of the Alpha institute, were among the brethren in this forward movement for bettering the condition of the denomination in the state. The Rev. J. H. Green, B. D., of Paterson was elected president, Rev. A. J. Hubbard recording secretary, Rev. S. Henderson corresponding secretary and the Rev. E. D. Samuels, D. D., treasurer. The sermon was preached by the Rev. T. J. Henderson of Roselle, who demonstrated his profound knowledge of the Scriptures. The officers were installed by the Rev, J. D. Bolding, after which the meeting adjourned to meet in the Mount Olivet Baptist church in June, 1914. Thus another epoch in our denominational history becomes a matter record. FINE PROSPECTS FOR BUSINESS Tour of Ralph W. Tyler Starts Big Revival. PROGRESS IN OLD KENTUCKY Reports From States Visited by Ralph W. Tyler, Organizer For the National Negro Business League, Indicate Great Industrial Advance—Assails Vile Railroad Accommodations. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Very great interest is being manifested, especially in the west and southwest, by the local Negro business leagues in boosting business enterprises and co-operating in the establishment of new enterprises to be operated by men of the race. Reports from various parts of the country indicate that our people are rapidly rounding to the belief that business establishments successfully operated are prime factors in solving the so called race problem. Reports received from Kentucky, Indiana and Missouri, states recently covered by Ralph W. Tyler, former auditor for the navy and now national organizer for the National Negro Business league, indicate great revival of interest. Mr. Tyler has in many cities visited reorganized local leagues which had become dormant. He has also assisted most prominent business men and women in their efforts to build up the local leagues into strong factors for the advancement of the race. Wherever Mr. Tyler has gone he has injected new life and enthusiasm into old leagues and established new leagues. His reception in each city visited has been marked by large meetings, followed by banquets. The three weeks spent in Kentucky resulted in reviving or reorganizing every existing league. In Lexington, Ky., the splendid new courthouse was allowed for holding the meeting Mr. Tyler addressed, and the large courtroom was packed, standing room being at a premium. At Frankfort, the seat of the state government, it is reported. Mr. Tyler boldly assailed the vile railroad accommodations provided for the colored people and charged that the railroads were daily violating a mandatory law which provided that accommodations "shall be equal." His assault upon the vile railroad accommodations afforded colored passengers at Frankfort was repeated in every Kentucky town visited. He pointed out that for the large amount of money his race expended each year for railroad travel and the large sum expended by Negro business men for freight shipped over railroad lines in the south they were entitled to first class passage, for which their tickets called and for which they were paying the same rate white passengers were paying for superior accommodations. At Evansville and Indianapolis, Ind., he had large meetings, followed by banquets. At Indianapolis, it is reported, the local league, long dormant, was revived, and such men as George L. Knox of the Freeman, A. C. Manning, E. G. Tldrington, Secretary Taylor of the Y. M. C. A., J. Walter Hodge, the Negro attorney; Editor Stewart of the Recorder, Drs. Ward. Perkins and Armstead and others prominent in the business and professional world have promised active support. The revived Indianapolis league started off with some forty live race men, who mean business. Reports from St. Louis show that the very best business and professional men of that city, including W. C. Gordon, C. K. Robinson, Drs. T. A. Curtis and Harrison and Messrs. Jones, Calloway, Editor King, Finckle, Williams and some thirty other prominent and successful St. Louis men, were interested in reviving the local league there. One of the largest audiences ever assembled turned out to hear Mr. Tyler, and the banquet tendered the following evening was attended by every member of the reorganized league. Going to Hannibal and St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Tyler organized new leagues, and the greatest interest was manifested in both places. Accounts taken from both the white dailies and weeklies published by our own people in the cities Mr. Tyler has thus far visited show that he is arousing the greatest possible interest and helping to make the Negro Business league a big factor in race advancement. Mr. Tyler will spend much time in Oklahoma, in which state every town of any size is included in his itinerary. Charitable Work In Charleston, B. C. The Progressive Ministers' union and the Anti-tuberculosis league held a successful union mass meeting in the Mount Zion A. M. E. church, Charleston, S. C. Thanksgiving night, Nov. 27, for the benefit of public charity touching all points in Charleston and vicinity. Charles S. Harleston, president of the league, co-operated with all the forces working for the amelioration of conditions among the needy. Rev. Dr. A. L. De Mond, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church, was the master of ceremonies. The choirs of the various churches rendered inspiring music. It was a most worthy effort on the part of the two organizations, and the public responded nobly. IN TIME OF TROUBLE CALL CHAMPA 2955 M. C.

WILLIAMS HONORED. Elected to Membership In American College of Burgeons. Chicago.—Dr. Daniel H. Williams of this city, formerly surgeon in chief of the Freedmen's hospital, Washington, founder of Provident hospital here and now the only Afro-American on the staff of the new $1,000,000 St. Luke's hospital, was recently made a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. The action was taken at the convocation held in the gold room of the Congress hotel in this city. Dr. Williams has gained great renown as the result of the many successful operations he has performed. His great fame, however, rests on the fact that he is credited as being the first surgeon in the world to operate successfully on the human heart. Dr. Williams has a large practice in Chicago and is often called to distant parts of the country to perform difficult operations. His practice has brought him in touch with persons of great fortunes. Our people here are justly proud of the great honor which has come to the most noted surgeon of the race. Profitable Educational Campaign. Much good has been accomplished by the series of public meetings held during November in Knoxville, Tenn.. in the interest of the public schools of Knox county. The promoters of the movement desire to equip each school with a library. They have been greatly encouraged in their efforts by the hearty co-operation of the parents of the pupils of the various schools. The last meeting for the month was held at James' chapel in South Knoxville. Friday evening, Nov. 28. --- POMADE FOR THE HAIR 26th Ave. and Ogden St. Our Prices are Right.

English Suffragette Says Retribution Follows Wrong Done Humanity. Just before leaving the Institutional church in Chicago, where she recently made a great speech for woman's rights and also pleaded for justice to the colored people. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the famous English suffragette, was asked about her views on racial segregation. Mrs. Pankhurst said in reply: "My soul revolts at segregation, whether of the Jews in Russia or the colored people in America. In the end such injustices really degrade the perpetrators and their children far more than the people who are wronged. Some day the United States as well as Russia must pay a fearful price for the wrongs done to humanity. "My parents had some part in the agitation which culminated in the overthrow of slavery, and I am glad that, in addition to my work for the rights of women, I may aid and encourage the colored race against the many wrongs which it suffers in the United States. "Do not give up the contest for absolute equality before the law. Every form of injustice must be fought to the bitter end. Remember, 'Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow.'" Mrs. Pankhurst also said she was glad of the opportunity to make this extra address to the colored citizens because while she was in Philadelphia a young colored girl came to her at the close of one of her lectures and asked that she give the colored people a chance to hear what she had to say on the question of franchise for all citizens, without regard to color, according to the constitution of the United States. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. A. J. Carey, wife of the Rev. Dr. A. J. Carey, pastor of the Institutional church. THE SITUATION IN METHODISM Publication Board Dismisses Both Editor and Manager. HOW THE TROUBLE STARTED Editorial In Christian Recorder Charging the Manager of the Book Concern With Drunkenness Provokes Great Controversy—History of the Unfortunate Affair Given In Detail. Philadelphia.—There was a great shake up in the affairs of the African Methodist church in this city the last week in October, such as has never before happened. The publication board, of which Bishop Evans Tyree is president, met and declared vacant the offices of editor of the Christian Recorder and manager of the Book Concern, held respectively by Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., and Rev. J. I. Lowe, D. D. This is the dramatic climax of the Wright-Lowe controversy, which began from the day Dr. Lowe assumed the office of manager and continued until both parties were dismissed. The immediate cause of the board meeting was an editorial in the Christian Recorder of Oct. 9, in which Editor Wright charged Manager Lowe with drunkenness. In this editorial Dr. Wright says: "I can only account for Lowe's action on the theory that he was in one of his drunken debauches such as have disgraced the Book Concern since he has been manager, for it is common talk that he has been picked up from the street and lodged in the police station for drunkenness." At the beginning of the meeting Manager Lowe charged Editor Wright with defaming his character and gave notice that he would call him to trial before the stewards of Mount Pisgah's A. M. E. church, according to the discipline. Charges Supported by Court Records. Dr. Wright said he was ready to prove his charge and produced an affidavit, so it is alleged, from the records of the Third police station, Delancy near Third street, as follows: "March 6, 1913. Jacob Lowe, 1221 Pine street, age forty-nine, married, black, arrested for drunkenness by Officer Robertson at Front and Delancy streets; condition when arrested, drunk; time of entry, 11 a. m." Dr. Lowe insisted that he was not drunk, but had an attack of vertigo and fell unconscious on the street. He said he did not remember anything until he came to in the police station. He said he was not drunk and had not drunk any whisky that morning. He further averred that he had had a similar attack of vertigo in Vicksburg, Miss., in 1880-thirty-three years ago. He begged the consideration of the board, asking that they take his word that it was vertigo rather than that of Editor Wright's affidavit from the police records that it was drunkenness. "Why, then, if you had vertigo, did they take you to the police station and keep you confined eight hours and not send for a doctor and enter you up as drunk? Is that not strange procedure?" Dr. Wright asked. Then Dr. W. A. Sinclair, who is a member of the board and who also apparently acted as Dr. Lowe's attorney, said, "I can answer that." Lowe Unconscious For a Long Time. In the meantime Dr. Lowe replied, "I do not know what they did with me, as I was a long time unconscious." Sinclair continued: "They did take him to the hospital, for I telephoned to the Pennsylvania hospital asking if J. I. Lowe was there, and I was told he was. I then asked what was the trouble with him, and I was told that he had an attack of vertigo and that he was resting easy." Thereupon Wright jumped to his feet and asked Sinclair, "Are you sure they told you vertigo?" Sinclair said, "Yes, they told me vertigo." "That is strange, bishop," said Wright, directing his remarks to the chairman and pulling from his papers a letter from the Pennsylvania' hospital. The letter stated that Jacob I. Lowe was brought to the Pennsylvania hospital at 10:30 a. m., March 6, 1913. His complaint was alcoholism. Said Wright: "This is the signed statement of the Pennsylvania superintendent that Dr. Lowe was taken there March 6; alcoholism—I. e., he was drunk; that he was there at 10:30 a. m. Couple this with his arrival at the police station, nearly a mile away, at 11 o'clock, and you will see how long he 'rested easy' at the hospital." Dr. Wright said he did not believe Sinclair ever telephoned to any hospital and says that the attack of vertigo is a myth. "The truth is that Sinclair was the man who, the police officer told me, called at the station house for Lowe, and he was so drunk the police would not even let him see Lowe." This Sinclair did not deny, and Lowe practically admitted saying that Wright was persecuting him. He then addressed an appeal to the board for sympathy, telling of his long years of service. The board then went into executive session. At 3 o'clock the board were the guests of Dr. Lowe at dinner at 1221 Pine street, where Dr. Lowe and Sinclair reside, and some suspect that BIG 4 IMPERIAL CLUB Extends an invitation to one and all to attend their Saturday and Tuesday Afternoon and Evening Dancing at Eureka Hall. F. BRANFORD, A. BRANCH Mgrs. some clever political work was done there. Bishop Evans Tyree Renders Decision. At 4 o'clock the board reconvened and at 6:30, after two hours' deliberation, called Drs. Lowe and Wright before it. Bishop Tyree stated that they had decided to declare both offices vacant. The two men made statements. It is said that Dr. Wright stated rather boldly his dissatisfaction with the verdict, as he did not know he was being investigated and as no charge was brought against him. The verdict, especially that relating to Editor Wright, created a genuine sensation, as his dismissal was not expected. Many of the local ministers were very strong in their denunciation of what they call the unfair treatment accorded Editor Wright. The reason for dismissing Manager Lowe is alleged drunkenness. The reason for dismissing Editor Wright was for publishing that the manager was drunk. Editor Wright Makes Full Statement. Editor Wright when asked what he thought of the verdict stated that he thought it was unfair. "It is unfortunately true that Dr. Lowe and I have not been able to get along, but he was always the aggressor. I feel grieved for two things only—first, that I was given no opportunity to make a defense. It seems that after Dr. Lowe was found guilty of my charge, he being an old man and I a young one, sympathy turned to him. They could not exonerate him, but they would punish me for exposing him. Thus I was ecclesiastically lynched. The second thing I feel grieved over is that I should be put out of an office in the Christian church to which I was overwhelmingly elected by a vote of 378 to 135 for the reason that I took a stand against drunkenness in the church. I committed no crime except that I exposed a disgraceful drunkard, and my exposure was so complete he could not be whitewashed. "I feel sorry for the bishop who could be a party to such a miscarriage of justice and such a breach of Christian ethics. But I feel pleased also at two things—first, that the fight against drunkenness in high places won and thus will give courage to thousands of high minded ministers everywhere in their fight for better morals, and, second, that I feel the decision of the board in my case is not the sentiment of the church. Will Appeal to the Bishops' Council. "I shall appeal not to the civil courts, but to the regular session of the bishops' council for protection in my rights. The charge that I exposed the church is all bosh. When did J. I. Lowe become the church? My attack was on one man. I called his name. I named his sin. I did this for the good of the church and not to harm it." Dr. J. I. Lowe came here from Arkansas in June, 1912, being elected by the general conference in Kansas City Mo. May, 1912, as business manager of the book concern of the A. M. E church, succeeding Dr. R. R. Wright who declined election as manager and was elected at the same time editor of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the A. M. E church and the oldest Negro periodical in existence. The two men are temperamentally different and have not agreed. Dr. Wright was educated at the University of Chicago, the University of Berlin, Germany, and lately received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania. There are many applicants for the positions, which are considered two of the best in the church. Revs. H. Y Arnett, J. L. H. Watkins and M. W Thornton of this city are mentioned as possible business managers. Church Opposed to Race Segregation. That the cause of justice and fair play for the colored people is gaining friends was again demonstrated recently at the Connecticut general conference of the Congregational church held in Waterbury. The committee on resolutions included in its report a strong protest against the action of the federal government in bringing about the segregation of the white and colored employees in the government service in Washington. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Tenth Anniversary of Women's Clubs. The tenth anniversary of the Pennsylvania Federation of Colored Women's Clubs was duly observed Monday evening, Nov. 10. The exercises, which were of a high order, were held in the auditorium of Grace Memorial Presbyterian church in Pittsburgh. The literary program was in charge of Mrs. L. S. Lee. The organization is in a flourishing condition, and each club connected with the federation has some special line of work to interest its members. Churches in the various communities, charitable institutions, private homes and individuals have been the recipients of the generous hospitality of these clubwomen. 926 NINETEENTH STREET Near Curtis THE LE THE LEADER We are now pleased to announce to the public that we are located at our new home, 2108 Larimer street, in quarters more commodious and convenient.

Daily Christmas Hint This Poppy Pincushion Is Extremely New and Smart This pincushion is made over a wooden hat stand. These wooden forms are purchased at any fancy work store. The huge flower forms are good imitations of large poppies. The top is a smaller poppy. The flowers at the base are three in number. Around a padded satin covered center are the petals. The center is made by a ball of cotton, the silk curved over it and sewed at the base. Pink ribbon is gathered one-fourth of an inch from the edge. Ribbon is at ```markdown ``` PANCY FLOWER PINCUSHION. tached to the base of the padded center, and the ribbon is wound about in three layers. This gives the petal effect. The three forms are placed around the base after the stem is wrapped by the ribbon from base to top. A long piece of ribbon is shirred, as in the flower forms, and wound around itself, as the swirled roses are made, the lower edge drawn and sewed fast to the top. Put pins with black, white and colored tops in the centers of each flower at the base and you will have finished as pretty a pincushion as you will see. These floral pincushions may be made to represent other flowers than poppies, of course. It is a good idea to scent them with sachet powder. The scent should, if possible, be suited to the flowers, a rose cushion being perfumed with rose powder, etc. If you happen to know what is the favorite flower of the one for whom the gift is intended use it in designing the pin cushion. A gift of this sort will be appreciated and kept long after the useless trifles so often got up in the name of fancy work are discarded and forgotten. BIG CELEBRATION IN NORTH OHIO Enthusiastic Crowd at Emancipation Jubilee In Toledo. SCOPE OF DR. BOYD'S SPEECH In Remarkable Address on "Hindrances That Help" Founder of Great Publishing House and Bank President, Who Was Once a Slave, Says Race Will Triumph. Teleo, O. — Practical, thorough. In simple language, but with a force that carried conviction with it, the Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., of Nashville, Teen, delivered one of the principal addresses Thursday, Nov. 27, to the mammoth emancipation celebration being held in this city this week. The occasion was northern Ohio's celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of Lincoln's issuance of the emancipation proclamation, which removed the shackles from millions of slaves in the United States. Since the early sixties hundreds of the descendants of these ex-slaves have migrated to the northern states. Toledo, one of the principal cities in the underground railway system that became famous during those days of bondage, has been favored with a representative population of the descendants of these people. In former days many of these slaves found refuge by coming to this port on Lake Erie. Dr. Boyd, himself an ex-slave, heard the shot and shell of the battlefield. responded to the call of the wounded at Lookout mountain and Missionary P. B. DR. RICHARD F. BOYD. ridge, toiled in the fields in the noon-day sun, was one of the enunciated; hence, speaking not from theory, but from actual knowledge, he spoke for one hour on "Hindrances That Help." A magnificent audience greeted him, in which were distinguished citizens from over the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Kentucky. "In the half century of our progress the fifty years have been pregnant with hardships. Discriminations and adverse legislation have not daunted the courage of our people, for with their thrift and energy they have overcome the obstacles that were placed in their way. They have surmounted, climbed over, dug under and gone around the Alps of opposition and the pyramids of discrimination. The Negro has imitated the Caucasian with his inventive genius in solving his own problem, for they have even made aerial flights in the atmosphere of sectional hate and race prejudice and have gone from one peak of prominence to another in their efforts to find a more favorable climatic and atmospheric condition. "Your gathering here to give recognition as well as encouragement to the accomplishment of these people, surrounded as you are by the friends who have been philanthropic in mind as well as in means, with evidence of progress on every side, makes this a year of jubilee indeed. The race to which we belong might well be called the 'child race,' but the fact that it has thrown off its swaddling clothes before it has reached the half century mark is evidence conclusive that it will grow into hardy manhood and womanhood ere it has attained its majority. "The conditions that confront us today as a people have often been viewed as hindrances. Even in the northern states, where you have been accustomed to profit by your labor and enjoy the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, as guaranteed you by the framers of the constitution, a splendid document in itself, you have begun to finch under sentiment that is slowly but surely creeping into these parts. The race as a whole and the people at large are now awakening to the sensibilities of the crying need of not only intellectual and educational advantages, but of religious development for a people who are now potent factors in the financial and business world. "Hindrances that have been placed in the front and have been magnified by an adverse press, daily, weekly and periodically, have not altogether been properly or advantageously portrayed. In many instances they have been as a mirage, which the wayfaring traveler sees in the distance, and while, like Banquo's ghost, it will not down it has been made to move on and on further and further away before the onrush of this civilized people, who are steadily advancing toward it. "These hindrances have had a tendency, as it were, to develop the keener side and the better part of the present generation. I declare unto you that, notwithstanding the magnitude of some of the obstacles that have been placed across our path, we are really making progress. These were necessary for the development of the race. We are now going through the fiery furnace, as it were, and all impurities are being burned away, but we will come out pure gold, well tried." DR. BOYD'S SUCCESS IN BUSINESS. Though a great denominational leader, being the founder, present secretary and manager of the National Baptist Publishing House, the largest publishing plant owned and controlled by Negroes in the world, having reported a business of more than $200,000 during the past fiscal year, Dr. Richard H. Boyd is a practical business man, being president of the One Cent Savings bank, Nashville, Teen. He is also president of the National Negro Doll company, which has for its motto "Negro Dolls For Negro Children;" president of the National Baptist Church Supply company; president Nashville Globe Publishing company and secretary of the home mission board of the national Baptist convention. He has lived to see himself, an ex-slave, at the head of institutions that in 1912 handled more than $1,000,000 and is one of the few men of the race who have without philanthropic aid made their way from ignorance and superstition into the light of prominence and recognition by all races without leaving their people. The Baptist denomination, represented by 2,500,000 communicants, has given him high honors and followed his lead for the past score of years. The local committee which had charge of this celebration and which secured the services of Dr. Boyd to make one of the principal addresses was headed by Rev. J. C. Taylor, D. D., pastor of the Temple Baptist church in Toledo. This celebration was one of the biggest demonstrations ever held by our people on Thanksgiving day. SERIES OF MEETINGS FOR WORKERS IN FOREIGN FIELD Missionaries Given Hearty Farewell Before Embarking on Long Voyage. Farewell meetings for outgoing missionaries under the auspices of the foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention thus far held in November have been enthusiastic, well attended and very encouraging. Five meetings were held under the auspices of the Baptist Ministers' union in New Orleans and vicinity and two by the Baptist Ministers' union in Philadelphia. The missionaries will leave New York on the Celtic, Thursday noon, Dec. 11, for the west coast of Africa. They are Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Simpson of Pennsylvania and Miss Eliza Davis of Texas. Miss Davis is a graduate of Central Baptist college, Texas, where she has rendered valuable services as matron. She will be associated with Miss E. B. De Laney in the work at the girls' school which will be located near Monrovia, Liberia. Farewell meetings will be held in New York under the management of the foreign mission board of the New York Baptist state convention at the Union Baptist church, 204 West Sixty-third street, Rev. Dr. G. H. Sims pastor, Monday evening, Dec. 8, Dr. Holland Powell presiding, and at the Day Star Baptist church, 512 West One Hundred and Fifty-seventh street, Rev. R. J. Brown pastor, Tuesday evening, Dec. 9, Rev. Dr. G. H. Sims presiding. The final meeting will be held at the Bethany Baptist church in Brooklyn, Rev. Holland Powell, D. D., pastor, Wednesday evening, Dec. 10. All the churches of the denomination in Brooklyn and the general public have been invited to attend this meeting, as it will be the last opportunity to see and hear the missionaries before they take ship for the foreign field. Rev. L. G. Jordan, who has held the position of corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board for the past eighteen years, accompanied the missionaries to New York and had charge of all the meetings. He received the hearty co-operation of the pastors of the various churches, for which he expressed his gratitude. Rev. G. H. Sims is the newly elected president of the New York State Baptist convention, and Rev. Holland Powell is chairman of the foreign mission board. New Organization of Young People.

The occasion was indeed a sad one and the bereaved ones have the sympathy of their many friends. Mrs. Thad. Taylor, who accompanied the remains of her husband to this city for interment, returned to Reno Monday. The revival meetings that are being carried on at St. John's Baptist church are being very successful and all the churches have united in one strong effort to save souls. The pastor, Rev. T. R. Jones, is proving himself a powerful instrument in the hands of the Master. Union Thanksgiving services were held at St. John's Thanksgiving day at 11 o'clock in the morning. The meeting was well attended. The Church of Epiphany is preparing for its bazaar in December. Trinity Baptist church served dinner at Odd Follows' hall Thanksgiving day. The Endeavor choir of Payne chapel is calling forth many favorable comments by the good music it is furnishing. Its success is due to the efforts of Mr. Williams, one of the young men of the church. All the departments of the People's M. E. church are doing good work.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

WORKER IN MANY GOOD MOVEMENTS Achievements of the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parrish. MAN OF BROAD LEARNING. Interesting Account of the Busy Life of a Brilliant Educator and Successful Pastor Who Won His Membership In Royal Geographical Society In London on His Merit. Loulsville, Ky.-Rev. Charles Henry Parrish, who is devoting his life to racial uplift and development, is one of the leading ministers and educators in Kentucky and ranks with the foremost men of his race in America. Dr. Parrish was born in Lexington, Ky., April 18, 1859, and started his school life in the public schools of Lexington, where he got a good foundation upon which to erect his manhood. He was among the first to graduate from the state university under the late William J. Simmons, because JOHN H. HARRIS DR. CHARLES H. PARRISH. shortly after Dr. Simmons accepted the presidency of the university in Louisville Dr. Parrish entered this institution and remained there until he had completed the course. While a student he exhibited rare ability, and after he graduated he was employed as one of the professors, filling the chair of Greek. He also acted as secretary and treasurer of the institution. He became the close friend of Dr. Simmons and at the same time made many friends in the city and state among other educators. He has served as president of Eckstein Norton university, Cane Springs, Ky. As pastor of the Calvary Baptist church in this city he did a good work of uplift in soul saving. He was an oriental pilgrim, messenger to the world's Sunday school convention at Jerusalem, 1904. It was in this convention where his worth to his race and denomination was made known. His ability as an orator was exhibited on several occasions while at this convention. He has the distinction of having stood in the river Jordan while abroad in April, 1904, and his picture was taken while standing in this sacred stream. He was a delegate to the Baptist world's congress in 1905, and while there received many invitations to preach in various churches of note. He filled seventeen engagements in Germany under the direction of Rev. Carl Mascher. Inspector of German missions, and under his preaching 600 converts were added to the church. Dr. Parrish served as chairman of the foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention until the headquarters of the board were moved to Philadelphia. He is at present chairman of the executive board of the Kentucky General Baptist association and was a delegate to the world's missionary conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1911. He was made a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London in 1912. This distinction was won by him on merit alone. He is president of the Kentucky Home Society For Colored Children, which is doing a good work in the state. He preached the anniversary sermon of the national Baptist convention in Nashville, Tenn., last September. Farmers to Meet at Tuskegee Jan. 5.

Notable Record of One of the Most Industrious Clergymen In the Lone Star State Whose Services Have Been Freely Given For the Uplift of the Masses. Temple, Tex.-The career of the Rev. J. S. Simmons, pastor of the Eighth Street Baptist church here, represents an example of thrift and industry of the most pronounced type. He was born in Fayetteville, this state. He attended the public school as often as opportunity afforded until he was eighteen years of age. He made good use of his time. About this age he began to take life more seriously and was converted and baptized at the Spring Hill Baptist church by the Rev. L. S. Scott, in 1889. He soon entered the ministry. His first charge was that of the Pleasant Springs Baptist church in Bastrop county. The Rev. Mr. Simmons was ordained by the Gay Hill Missionary Baptist church, of which the Rev. A. L. Brown was the pastor. He served this church two years, for which he received a salary of $50 per year and a suit of clothes. The membership was very small, but increased steadily during his two years' pastorate. His next place of service was at the Mount Nebo Baptist church, in West Point, Tex. This church had a membership of thirty-five. The meeting house was remodeled and the member- A. B. ship increased to 105 during his pastorate of two years. His salary was $75 per year. From the Mount Nebo church the Rev. Mr. Simmons accepted the call of the Sweet Home Baptist church at Giddings, Tex., where he remained for two and a half years. The membership of this church was increased from thirty to seventy, and the pastor received $80 per annum. At Winchester, Tex., the church had sixty members, and at Corinth, where this zealous man of God also pastored, the membership was 200. The pastor's salary was $180. The membership increased during the two years to 250. At Georgetown, Tex., where the Rev. Mr. Simmons labored, his salary was $10 per month. The church at Bastrop, Tex., was burdened with a heavy debt carried by seventy faithful members, but under the new pastor's administration this debt of over twenty years' standing was paid, the membership increased and a most flourishing congregation built up. The pastor's salary was $16 per month. He remained with this church for three years. The Pleasant Union Baptist church at Welmar, Tex., was the next field accepted by this energetic preacher. It had only thirty-five members and paid the pastor $10 per month. Partly through the influence of Professor M. M. Rogers the Rev. Mr. Simmons accepted the call of the church at Lagrange, Tex., but remained there only a short time, serving two Sundays in each month during the period covered by him at Lagrange, where his salary was $85 per month. After years of hard work with a goodly measure of success the Eighth Street Baptist church here extended a call to this worthy minister Sept. 3, 1908. The Eighth Street church had a membership of 180, and its property was valued at $4,000, including the parsonage. The pastor received $50 for three Sundays in each month. The church was in debt, but the members were willing to follow the lead of the pastor, who proved to be master of the situation. After two years the whole debt was wiped out, more land bought, and a more commodious church building has been erected at a cost of $3,500. A music school is maintained by this church, and an atmosphere of uplift and encouragement is felt. The membership is now 500, and the church property is valued at $10,000. The pastor's salary has been increased to $80 for three Sundays in each month. A more loyal congregation is hard to find.

Rice, now preaching at Coffeyville, Kans. Rev. Jefferson surprised his congregation with his profound logic, keen observations and many timely illustrations always on his tongue's end. A great future awaits the young man if he will study and poise himself from the extremes of religion. His preaching was good and well enjoyed and the congregation certainly appreciated him coming to hold the quarterly meeting. Try Mrs. Jessie Carter's Wonderful Hair Grower. "It's a wizard."

Parsons and Alva Cornell Released—Boys Vindicated The mystery surrounding the theft of a registered package containing $1,900 of worn and tattered greenbacks, sent by the First National bank of Santa Fe to the First National bank of Denver last September, remains unsolved. Today in the United States district court, U. S. District Attorney Sumner Burkhardt asked that the case against Chas. J. Parsons, William Parsons and Alva Cornell, all postal employes, charged with the theft, be dismissed. Attorneys for the three men protested against dismissal and said the defendants were ready for trial. Burkhardt replied his chief witness for the prosecution was in Salt Lake City, Utah. Following the indictments all three o fthe employees, who are colored, were discharged from the postal service. Now the district attorney having dismissed the charges against their will, makes them lose their jobs and no chance has been given them to clear their good reputations which years of sacrifice, struggle and heartaches had built.

Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock was the scene of the greatest demonstration of spiritual life and fervor that Scott M. E. church has witnessed this year. Rev. Washington forever yet accurately reviewed the life of Christ, pointing out how wonderful in birth, in life, in death, and in the resurrection he was; how mighty, majestic and humble in all his mind, thoughts, acts and deed; and letting go some flights of oratory and word pictures concerning the imagined mountain, the great congregation caught the spirit spontaneously and there was a great demonstration of shouting. Rev. Jefferson, acting presiding elder, spoke and added fuel to the spiritual flames, and closed the service by shaking hands and singing "Give Me That Old Time Religion." when everybody got bored.
