Denver Star

-Let All Colored Americans and Friends Protest to Washington Against Post Office Segregation The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star rmerly known as The TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. Number 15 Interesting Concerning the News g the Race. Smith's court last week. The petitioners alleged that in being compelled to ride in the same compartment with Negroes the railroad violated the separate coach law of Kentucky. It is an index of just what valuation the government places upon the Negro as a soldier when trouble is imminent, the placing of recruiting stations in almost every black neighborhood. If black men are good enough to fight for the national honor, the government should be big enough to accord him the rights and privileges of protection in his civil pursuits during the time of peace. Liberian Government Makes An Appointment. Washington, D. C., Nov. 25. — William H. York of Chicago has been appointed lieutenant in Liberian Frontier Forces by the Liberian Government at a salary of $1,200 a year. Mr. York was selected for the position upon the recommendation of Major Charles Young military attache at Monrovia. Negotiations were carried on through the State Department at Washington. Mr. York is in Washington looking after his transportation and other matters. The new lieutenant in Liberian Frontier Forces is 30 years old and was born in Springfield, Ill. He saw four years' service in the Philippines, a short time in Cuba, and has traveled extensively in the West. He is a graduate of the scientific department of Wilberforce University. At the institute he was connected with the military department and was captain of Company B for two years. Greensboro, N. C., Nov. 25. On Friday, Nov. 21, the Odell Hardware Co., reported to be the largest hardware firm in the Sonth, closed and draped its doors in memory of its old faithful employe, Robert Harris. When consideration is given to the importance of this firm, its extensive business and its large force and that all of this work was suspended to pay respect to a Negro, the citizens here see in this a very rare example of overlooking color and giving recognition to merit. Miss May Hicks, a colored actress went into Joel's Broadway restaurant, in New York, with several white actresses, and the proprietor refused to serve her. When the matter was carried into court Joel was fined $100 by Judge Nathan Oppenheimer. --- WILLIAMS IN COLLEGE. Famous Doctor First to Operate Successfully on Heart -The Only Colored Man so Honored. Chicago, Ill.—Dr. Daniel H. Williams; of Chicago, formerly surgeon-in-chief of the Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., founder of Provident Hospital, Chicago, and now the only Afro-American on the staff of the new $1,000,000 St. Luke's Hospital, has been made a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. The action was taken at the convocation held ih the gold room of the Congress Hotel. One thousand of the leading surgeons of the continent received fellowships. Clad in robes of scarlet and dark blue the small army of medical men, chosen because of their high standing in their profession, appeared before Dr. J. E. T. Finney of Baltimore, who conferred the degrees. Dr. Williams has gained great renown as the result of the many successful operations he has performed. His great fame rests on the fact that he is the first surgeon in all 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. "Unwritten Law" Cited by by Texas Colored Man. Washington, D. C. On the the ground that the "Unwritten Law" should apply to the Negro as well as to the white man, Carl Oliver, a Negro of Franklin county, Texas, has appealed to the Supreme Court to set aside the death sentence imposed upon him for the murder of Franklin D. Stanley, a white man, Oliver claimed he shot in self defence, when he found Stanley with his wife. Oliver's attorneys contend that the trial court erred in refusing to charge the jury that under the laws of Texas and the United States a Negro is entitled to the same rights in defending the honor of his home as a white man would be under the same circumstances. Rode With Negroes, Awarded $2,950 Damages. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 25. Because they were being forced to ride in the same compartments with Negroes while traveling between Huntington W. Va., and Louisville over the C. & O. railroad, James Malone and John McCarty were each given judgement for $2950 damages in Judge Negro Employe Honored Denver Star DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 6, 1913 TOWN OF DEARFIELD ASSURED. STATE LAND BOARD WILL PLOT THE LAND Dearfield Settlement is the largest colored farming settlement in Colorado. It is to have a town site platted and surveyed by the State Land Board. The plat will be ready within a few days to sell town lots and ten acre tracts to merchants mechanics, residents, dairymen or dairy women. Dearfield is located in one of the most fertile and prosperous communities in Colorado, and surpasses any section for work for reliable colored men and women. It was the banner section of the state for raising sugar beets this season. For ten years I have tried to interest the State Land Board in a settlement for colored people on state lands, and finally there has been a State Land Board appointed by Governor Ammons, who believes in equal rights and justice to all classes of citizens. The members of the board are Attorney General J-Fred Farrar, President; John E. Field, Surveyor and Volney T. Hoggatt, Register Mr. U. G. Harris, Land Appraiser, made an investigation of the location of Dearfield and reported favorably on the appraisement. The Board decided by its actions that our people should be encouraged to make good up there and that the state and all others interested in settling and building up the state should extend their influence to Dearfield Settlement. The State Engineer, Mr. John E. Field, will plat and survey 480 acres of school lands adjoining the settlement and 11-2 miles from Master Station. This land will be platted into a town site of lots that will sell from $10.00 per lot up, giving a liberal per cent off for those who will make improvement within 90 days from date of purchase. There will be platted 1-4 section into 5 acre tracts and 1-4 section into 16 acre tracts that will sell from $20.00 per acre and up. These tracts surround the town site and are laid out to conform with the town in case of an addition to the town. Purchases of tracts will be given a liberal percentage off if they begin their residence and improvements within 90 days from purchase. These tracts of land are well adapted to poultry raising, dairy products and sugar beets. This proposition will be held open to the colored people for a limited time for them to take advantage of a splendid opportunity to build up a creditable colored settlement and town officed by colored people. Judge Volney T. Hoggatt, Register of the State Land Board, is a true southern gentlemen and is a friend of the Good Opportunity colored people. He desires to do something of credit for the race while he is in office as he has many colored friends in Colorado and in the south. The establishment of the town of Dearfield on a basis that any one can buy a town lot or a small tract of land on reasonable terms is his proof of interest in our race. Two lots will be given free to a colored man or company to establish a cement block and brick factory. Two lots will be given free to a blacksmith and wood worker. Anyone desiring to become interested as a purchaser or agent, address O T. Jackson, Gen'l Agent. 1021 21st street, Denver, Colo. Office will be in charge of Miss _____ and the office hours will be from 9:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. See this paper for final announcement of plat for reservations. FLORIDA NEW LAW. This is the new law passed by the legislature of Florida and signed by Gov. Trammel: Chapter 6490, laws of Florida, act 2913. An act prohibiting white persons from teaching Negroes in Negro Schools, and psohibiting Negro teachers from teaching white children in the State of Florida, and providing the penalty therefor. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Florida: Section 1. From and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful in this State for white teachers to teach Negroes in Negro schools, and for Negro teaches to teach in white schools. Sec. 2. Any person or persons violating the provisions of this act shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500, or by imprisonment in the county jail, not exceeding six months. Sec. 3. This act shall take effect upon and after its passage and approval by the governor.—The Crisis. Dr. Marcus Wheatland, a well known colored physician of Newport, R. I., has been denied a renewal of his membership in the Vanderbilt Young Men's Christian Association of that city. The same orgaization has refunded the membership fees of another colored member, asking him to resign. Five colored postal clerks were were dismissed in St. Louis October 16. This is said to be the beginning of the "Negro elimination" by the new postmaster. The Birmington Ala., segregation bill has been declared unconstitutional. CHAMPION OF HUMAN RIGHTS Eventful Career of Dr. Caesar A. A. P. Taylor. SERVED IN MANY FIELDS. Nation Wide Campaign Against Segregation and Other Indignities Intended to Humiliate Afro-Americans. Recent Appearance of New Publication Creates Great Interest. Philadelphia.—So much interest has been aroused by the publication of "The Conflict and Commingling of the Races" that a word about the career of the author, Dr. Caesar A. A. P. Taylor, is justly beffitting. He is a man with Indian blood in his veins. He is doing heroic work for justice and fair play for Afro-Americans. He is again like an old warhorse in the harness and will be heard from all along the firing line of the efforts which are being put forth throughout the country to defeat the aims of segregation and rice prejudice. Thoughts of over half a century, contemporary with Douglass, Bruce, Langston, J. C. Price, Tim Fortune, Calvin Chase, T. McCants Stewart, Henderson of the Torchlight, Clifford of West Virginia, Arneaux of the New York Enterprise, Cooger and Knox of the Freeman, the elder Trotter, D. Augustus Straker and the host of other stalwart champions of human rights and individual liberty, rise like ghosts in the memory when one reads "The Conflict and Commingling of the Races." More than twenty years ago Dr. Taylor was a traveler, writer and lecturer prominently before the public. He wrote and published "The Negro Race, Retrospective and Prospective. DR. CAESAR A. A. P. TAXLOR. or. The Negro Past. Present and Future." He was a contributor to leading publications by white and colored people, daily, weekly and monthly. His writings will be found a quarter of a century back in the files of the A. M. E. Church Review, Philadelphia; the Globe, Freeman and Enterprise, New York; the Freeman of Indianapolis, Ind., New York Tribune and other publications throughout the country. He published the Forum in Texas and Florida. He was a Florida tourist commissioner to the World's Columbian exposition, Chicago, in 1802-3, and commissioner for the state of Florida at large to the Tennessee centennial in 1807 by appointment of Governor William D. Bloxham. All this and more, but for many years Dr. Taylor has not been heard in active public life, and now he comes back again with his old time fighting vigor, as is seen in some of his latest efforts, notably in "The Conflict and Commingling of the Races," copies of which he has sent to and received acknowledgments from diplomats and representatives in Washington and to distinguished public personages, men and women, of the white race throughout this country and abroad. To each of such persons to whom the book was sent it was accompanied by the following letter: In the interest of millions of tortured living men, women and children, the survivors of hundreds of thousands whose martyrned blood cries aloud from the ground like Robel coursing and refusing to be comforted because her children were not, I need to vom a copy of my book "The Conflict and Coupling of my body." State historian & Natural History Society FIVE CENTS A COPY. the Races." Lynchings, burning of human beings alive, denials of justice and legislative wrongs are not the products of a Christian land. When a country's own citizens are not able to exercise their prerogative as men women, and this because of their race color, then that country's institutions, a school, a church, are a fera and a fraud upon civilization. It ill becomes such a country to arrogate the virtue of calling upon other governments to set their houses in order. Such is mendacious, arrogant, impudent, needling. To change this in the United States of America should be the work of men and women with honest purposes. To this end I ask that you read the indictment I make in these pages. In his library at 1709 Lombard street, Philadelphia, Dr. Taylor has a most interesting collection of curios and old manuscripts bearing on the struggles of the race through the reconstruction period, with accounts of the part taken by leading white and colored men in the fight for full citizenship for the colored people. He is a keen observer of men and things. With an indefatigable study of everything readable, he has possessed himself with a vast fund of information. He has been a traveler, lecturer, preacher, lawyer, promoter, editor, physician, rancher, newspaper correspondent and politician. He has worked on the farm, in the sawmill, steamboated and followed whatever occupation the exigencies imposed either in following his inclination or to survive the viciessitudes as he has made his way upward or been knocked and bumped in life. Discussing the Indian as distinguished from the Negro, he says: "Blood will tell is an expression often quoted, and nothing demonstrates it stronger than the achievements of one individual or race as compared with the achievements of another individual or race; hence tell me of the hero's fight in horror's blackest night, for they alone are great who great deeds have done, who triumph against fate, who from depths to heights have come." "I am proud that I am who and what I am, but I hate and despise my opposing environment, the conditions which hamper and hem me in. So by the eternals, I have sworn, I have determined to break through." "I will be a man among men, either living or dead. I will not be satisfied with any condition less than that which is due to a man and a gentleman." "Thus my soul, heart and brain—yea, all my combined powers—even as a giant hand I lay it hard upon the world around me, compelling where coaxing does not avail the consideration accorded any other man." "Blood will tell. It is in me. I have done, am doing and will do until I die." "The world will know that in me a man lived. I will, even if there be one-sixteenth of Negro blood in me. I will be a man, for blood will tell, and I have seen that Negro blood is telling." The Negro as an economic factor in the American scheme of government as viewed in "The Conflict and Commingling of the Races" is juicy argument for the honest student in economics not less than for the real statesman and patriot. Beginning on page 66, the gifted writer says, "Surely competition begets rivalry anywhere among all peoples, but rash indeed are those, and insanely so, who do not realize that in this country the Negroes are industrial factors and have got to be considered in any economic scheme embracing capital and labor if this nation is to continue a free and prosperous republic." NUTLEY HALL DEDICATED. New Dormitory at Virginia Union University Formally Opened. Nutley hall, the new dormitory building at the Virginia Union university in Richmond, Va., was dedicated Thursday morning, Nov. 27. The exercises began at 10 o'clock with orchestra music, followed by invocation. Scripture reading, prayer and hymn. President George Rice Hovey read the financial statement of the institution and delivered the keys of the new building to the Rev. Dr. A. Binga, Jr., vice president of the board of trustees. The chief speaker for the occasion was the Rev. Dr. L. C. Barnes, field secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission society. Other speakers on the program were William Hodges Mann, governor of Virginia; George Ainsle, mayor of Richmond; President F. W. Boatwright, Richmond college; Professor W. T. B. Williams, agent of Slater and Jennes educational funds; Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph.D., pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church; Samuel Cohen of Richmond, and Dr. Douglass Freeman of the state board of health. Cheering Words From Mayor Ainslie. In his welcome address to the Negro organization society of its first annual meeting recently held in Richmond, Va., Mayor George Anselie declared his hearty interest in the standard of citizenship of every member of the community. "We must be believed in the society and its culture of 'Better Schools,' Not Better Towns and Better Farms." Business Directory A merchant to succeed must a.m. to expand his business and his ideas.

BANKS THE VICTOR IN DAMAGE SUIT Pullman Porter Injured In Wreck Awarded $1,250. Decision of Common Pleas Court of Allegheny County, Pa., Upheld by Superior Tribunal of the State. Pittsburgh Railroad and Allied Lines Lose Case on Appeal. By Rev. P. A. 5COTT. Pittsburgh.—William J. Banks, residing at 39 Fullerton street, Pittsburgh, a former Pullman car porter, was recently given a verdict against the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis railway by the superior court of Pennsylvania, which means a great victory not only for Mr. Banks, but for Pullman porters and other colored employees of the great Pennsylvania company. A little more than four years ago, while Mr. Banks was in the employ of the above named company as a porter, he was seriously injured in a railroad wreck, from which he has not yet fully recovered. Believing that he was justly due some indemnity for the suffering and the loss of time and money and failing to see a disposition on the part of the railroad company to make satisfactory restitution, he brought suit for damages. His attorneys were Wishart & Dickey, a prominent law firm of this city. The case was tried in the common pleas court of Allegheny county and, finding that the wreck in which Mr. Banks was injured was due to carelessness on the part of the employees of the railroad, the court gave Mr. Banks A. WILLIAM J. BANKS. a verdict of $1,250. The railroad company appealed the case to the superior court of Pennsylvania. After carefully examining into the merits of the case, the superior court handed down a decision confirming the verdict of the lower court granting the said Mr. Banks the sum of $1,250, with interest from the time of the lower court's decision. It was brought out in this trial that when entering the employ of the Pullman company each employee is required to sign a release of all claims for damages which may subsequently accrue for injuries sustained, whether or not such injuries were caused by negligence of the Pullman company or of the railroad company hauling its cars. By its terms this contract is made to inure to the benefit of the carrying railroad. The real question in this case was whether or not such contracts are valid. The superior court held that neither the Pullman company nor the railroad company can relieve itself from liability for negligence by such a contract. It is the policy of the law of the state of Pennsylvania that a common carrier cannot by contract relieve itself from liability for its own negligence. In having the courage to press this matter and test the laws of Pennsylvania Mr. Banks has found a way that will force this and other great corporations to have a more just regard for the life and safety of their employees and has also placed many hundreds of his hard working fellow laborers under lasting obligations to him for this victory that means so much in their behalf. Archie Lewis Dies in Washington. The recent death of Mr. Archie Lewis in Washington removes from the community one of its old landmarks among both the white and colored people.

PROGRESS MADE AT LIVINGSTONE North Carolina Institution Adds Several New Features. PROMOTION OF W. H. HANNUM Success of School Fostered by the A. M. E. Zion Church Reflects Credit Upon President W. H. Goler's Administration—High Standard of Work by Students In Normal Department. By GEORGE F. KING. Sallisbury, N. C.—Every year Livingstone college, this city, the most prominent educational institution of the A. M. E. Zion denomination and one of the foremost colleges for the training of Afro-Americans, is constantly adding new features. Thus it is affording its hundreds of students from all sections of the country an excellent chance for mental, moral, spiritual and physical development. Dr. W. H. Goler, its progressive and affable president, has a faculty for procuring for his teaching corps men and women of exceptional ability—the class that distinguishes itself by mak- A. PROFESSOR W. H. HANNUM. ing the welfare of the resident body one of its principal objective points; hence the best work is accomplished, which each student can do. Being a man of rare administrative ability and a master of finance. Dr. Goler saw the steady ascendancy of the race in the commercial world and appreciated the increasing demands for thoroughly trained young men and women to maintain the splendid progress of Afro-American enterprises. He recognized the peculiar fitness of one of his professors who had proved himself capable of making a business department of the college a signal success. Present indications of the work of this new department inaugurated this college year fully sustain the action of the president in causing its inception. Dr. Goler was elected president of the college because of his qualifications for the position. Professor W. H Hannum began his work at this institution during the school year in 1901. He has filled the position of treasurer of the college since 1902. He is a native of Maryville, Tenn., and a graduate of Maryville college, formerly a mixed institution, now attended entirely by white students, which is due to an act of the Tennessee legislature. Professor Hannum was the only colored man in his class, and when he graduated at the age of twenty he was the third Afro-American to graduate from this institution. Nine colored men have graduated from this institution, and they have all distinguished themselves in their chosen activities. For several years Professor Hannum has been principal of the normal department of Livingstone college. He is fond of music and athletics and has brought up the latter feature to its present high standard. He is well known in this section of the state as the director of the college orchestra, which he conducted with such fine success until it was disbanded. the members having completed their studies at the school. During the time the orchestra was conducted here it furnished music for the opera house, playing for an exclusive class of white people. Professor Hannum is especially fitted for his work at Livingstone on account of his having completed the teacher's course at the Bliss Alger Business college in Saglaw, Mich. His home is a Mecca for music lovers. He is a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities. Artists W. D. Smith G. C.

Deerfield, Colo., a little struggling townsite, is to have the State Land Board lay it off in blocks, lots, streets and alleys after the middle of January, 1914. Some of the streets have already been named after some of our Colorado and national characters. We visited the land board and the officer in charge assured us that this was an opportunity for colored people to colonize and grow strong by being drawn together. He said "that if these opportunities were not taken advantage of by the colored people he would fill it up with foreigners, whose agents are dally beeching them for land for their countrymen at home." The average acres costs about $20, two lots will be sold cheap, the deed in all cases comes from the state. There is no reason why the colored people ought not and cannot avail themselves of the opportunity of going up or writing the State Land Board for particulars and then act. Every day our chances for wealth and livelihood are being diminished and the men of today ought to prepare for tomorrow. Jobs are getting scarcer and scarcer and let us prepare and make jobs instead of always asking for a job. Every dollar spent to improve Deerfield means two dollars' benefit for Denver. Buy land now.

H. Demby is blessed with a personality that wins. Commanding in presence, professionally attired, and wearing a natural smile that makes the best terms with her audience. Any audience will be ready to hear Miss Demby ere one note comes bubbling from her throat. Last night her voice was faultless. Miss Demby approached the rostrum with a grace and ability that looked like gliding. Her first number was a bewitching waltz song in which all doubts were put to rest if doubts there were as to her vocal capabilities, polish and excellent training. The long pews of upturned faces were carried along the stream of beautiful harmony which the singer gracious welled forth. It was in "Under Blossoming Branches" that Miss Demby exhibited a most remarkable compass of voice; ascending to the top notes of high soprano, with grace and beauty did she descend to the regions of basso, all the time sustaining the integrity of tune."—The Metropolis, Jacksonville, Fla., Novb. 7, 1911. "The singing of Miss M. H. Demby of Boston, Mass., the noted mezzo soprano soloist, Monday night, Aug. the 18th, charmed and delighted a large, fashionable audience. So loud and vociferous was the applause that General Admi Here's a Useful Gift For Dainty Girls The little pincushions that are made out of tiny baskets are most attractive.

She came highly recommended as a vocalist that is rarely equaled. The favorable comments she has received are well deserved.

Lewis, Chamberlain, of Manchester, Ohio, writes about his children: "Sometimes in severe attacks we were afraid they would die, but since we proved what a certain remedy Dr. King's Discovery is, we have no fear. We rely on it for croup, coughs and colds." So can you. 50c and $1.00. A bottle should be in every home. At all drugists. H. E. Bucklin & Co., Phila., St. Louis.

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.

Under the caption “Ignored the Press" the Norfolk (Va,) Journa! und Guide in a recent editorial said: “The Nezro organization <ociety in session in Richmond. Summed up brietly. the object of the society is to create for the race ‘better schools, bet- ter health, better homes, better farms.’ We have before us a program -* the session, in which is represented every sort of Negro organization and every “agency for the improvement of Negro life with the exception of’ the Negro press. “The church, the school, the secret society, the farmer, the physician. the lawyer, the merchant and even the humble woman missionary are-repre- sented, but there is no one to speak for what the press is doing for race up- Mft. “There are twelve Negro newspapers in Virginia. pach of which wields con- siderable influence for good, und if It were not for these twelve Negro news- papers very little would be known of the Negro Organization society or of those who compose it. “Advance notices of the meeting were sent out to most of these papers, and they were generously published. Detailed reports of the sessions will be sent to the papers also. and these will be published as far as space will per- mit. The Negro press is one of the most unselfish agencies at work for the uplift of the Negro, one of the most powerful and yet the least appreciated. “The orators on the program of this meeting will speak their messazes to the hundreds under the sound of their voices: the Negro press will take up the message and herald to thousands and hundreds of thousands of readers. ‘This is the unselfish mission of the Negro press. “Just why the press was ignored in this important meeting we do not know. It was perhaps Just one of those blunders that are so often com- mitted by some of the ‘big Negroes’ in charge of the affair who would not be known outside of their home towns if it were not for the free advertising given them by the Negro press.” SOUTHERN RACE QUESTIONS University Commission to Hold Impor- tant BMactind tn Rishosend. Va. ‘The third meeting of the university commission on southern race questions Will be held ‘a Richmond. Va.. on Dec. 19. ‘The commission. which owes its Inception to Dr. James H.

It is 4 nonsalaried body and is com posed of one representative from exch of eleven southern state universities Its aim ts twofold—first. to discover all the facts possible to learn about the status of the Negro in the sovt! and. second, to bring these facts to the attention of the white people of the south as effectively as possible. More than any other one thing, the commis sion hopes to make sovthern white met of weight speak out frankly. Professor W. 0. Scroggs of the Lou fsiana State university says of the movement: “The four great needs in dealing with our southern race prob: lems are education. co-operation. pub lielty and patience. As to education, | believe it is highly desirable that 9 course of instruction in the race ques tion should be given in every institu tion for higher education in the sout!» In such a course it should be the ob fect to place before the students the best thought of representative Ameri can eltizens on this subject and to as sist them In adopting a rational view- point on all matters concerning tnter ‘racial relations, “This would undoubtedly have a coo! ‘effect. but even then much more wil remain to be done. ‘The real problet I believe, is not so much to reach thr university student as it is to reach the 'man who lives on Jones’ creel at the ‘head of the hollow.
