Denver Star

The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Let All Colored Americans and Friends Protest TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. Number 17 George H. Jackson was appointed Consul at Cognac, France by President McKinley. The post has always been regarded as the best position held by a colored man in the Consular Service. The position carries with it a salary of $3000 a year. Cognac is known for its brandies and wines, and is looked upon as a most desirable place to live owing, to its climatic advantages. On the same day the Senate confirmed the appointment of a white man to succeed George Jackson, A. T. Haeberle of Missouri, was confirmed as consul to St. Michaels, Azores, to succeed James W. Johnson, resigned. Mr. Johnson resigned as consul to Azores because the Democrats of the Senate refuse to confirm him. Mr. Johnson was appointed consul at Azores by President Taft while stationed at Corinto, Nicragua. Some months ago Mr. Johnson called on Secretary of State Bryan and learned that it was useless for him to aspire to be confirmed consul at Azores. So he tendered his resignation. The uncalled for dismissal from the Consular Service of George H. Jackson and the flat refusal of the Democratic Senators confirm Mr. Taft's appointment of James W. Johnson as Consul to Azores clearly indicate the position President Wilson and his advisors have taken toward the colored citizens. There is every reason to believe that similar treatment will be meted out to other Negroes in the Consular Service. It is charged that the presentation of a list to President Wilson by colored Democrats, showing what positions were held by colored Republicans is responsible for the dismissal of Consul. Jackson. The administration did not know Jackson was colored until the colored pointed out what positions should be filled by colored Democrats. And the pathetic feature of the dismissal of Negroes holding representative positions under Republican administrations is that when the colored office holders are let out white men are invariably appointed to succeed them.—New York Age.

Jackson at Cognac, France, Removed by Wilson Administration. White Man Appointed. White Man Succeeds James W. Johnson, whom Democrats Refuse to Confirm as Consul to Azores. Washington, D. C., Dec. 10. Gradually the Negro is being separated from representative political positions by the Wilson administration with a ruthlessness regarded by many as nothing short of criminal. Slowly but surely the high executioners at Washington mark their victims for slaughter. The Armour and Swift plants are in danger of losing their reputations. News of the last Negro to be politically executed is just leaving out. He is Geo H. Jackson, United States Congress at Cognac, France Although Consul Jackson's position was supposed to have been protected by Civil Service, a white man has been selected to succeed him. From all accounts the taking of his job from him savors of highway robbery methods. For no good reason has Mr. Jackson been dismissed from the Consular Service. The chief chaage against him seems to be that he has a dark skin. It was only a short time ago that the Administration gave out the information that the efficiency of the Consular Service would not be weakened by making wholesale changes and that merit, not politics, would be the determining factor in the retention or promotion of a consul. The removal of George H. Jackson as Consul at Cognac, France, shows how faithfully this rule is being observed. The simple statement appearing several days ago in the Congressional Record that Kenneth F. Patton of of Virginia, assistant consul at Liverpool, had been appointed consul at Cognac, France, to succeed George H. Jackson, was the only obituary to show that Consul Jackson had been politically decapitated. This announcement appeared in the long list of consular appointments, confirmed by the Senate on Nov. 24. The Congressional Record in other instaeces either imparted the information that the new appointee was succeeding a consul who had resigned or that the appointment had been occasioned by reason of a transfer or promotion. Just how Jockson was let out has never been officially rated. NOTICE TO CITIZENS DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 20, 1913 National Benefit Association Ends Year Triumphantly. HOW IT SERVES THE MASSES From Tenant to Landlord and Small Earning Power to Thousands is the Record of Mammoth Concern With Headquarters In Washington—8. W. Rutherford's Fine Leadership. Washington.—That the National Benefit association of this city, with branch offices in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Rhode Island, is an Institution of business integrity was demonstrated beyond any doubt during the week of its recent fifteenth anniversary celebration held here. The main public meeting was held in the famous Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and the address was delivered by the Rev. I. N. Ross, pastor, whose views on the efforts of the race in all good movements are sound and worthy of attention. The fact that the founders and officers of the association have been able A. W. RUTHERFORD. to build up from a tenant of a single office room at $5 per month in 1898 to landlord holdings worth $50,000 with improved real estate and owners of $103,500 worth of securities, $50,000 which is on deposit for the protection of its members, shows that the organization is strong financially. It gives employment to fifty clerks and 700 persons employed otherwise. Like the company itself, standing upon an upright, solid and progressive foundation, the officers in the very hour of its Thanksgiving anniversary triumph called a conference at the home office of some of the ablest leaders, and thinkers of the race in the nation's capital to consider and formulate plans to stimulate the commercial, industrial and business initiative, energy and enterprise of the 100,000 colored citizens of Washington. The subjects discussed were as follows: "The Relation of the Church to the Business Activities of the Race," by Dr. M. W. D. Norman, Dr. J. Milton Waldron and Rev. W. H. Dean; "Self Help by Intelligent Co-operation," by Dr. C. W. Childs, Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, Mr. F. M. Murray, Rev. A. Randall and Mr. A. Scurlock; "The Power and Necessity of Race Organization," by Judge R. H. Terrell, Professor Nelson E. Wettherless, Hon. H. P. Slaughter, Miss Nannle H. Burroughs and a host of others. Excellent music was rendered by members of the organization. The speakers proudly pointed to the fact that the secretary of the National Benefit association, Mr. S. W. Rutherford, with his able cohorts—officers, agents and clerks—had accomplished a most significant Thanksgiving achievement by immeasurably aiding in the emancipation of the Negro from business bondage and placing him upon the business map of the country. The practical results of the conference are encouragement to those willing to do, an understanding of one another, a concrete lesson in the power of getting together—organization and co-operation—and increased confidence in Negro enterprises Many good seeds were sown which are destined to spring up, ripen and materialize into those things which go to make and sustain a race. As a result of this meeting a new movement of very great value is already in process of forma- Washington Against Post Office Segregation The Journal of Commerce and Finance of Philadelphia, one of the leading financial magazines of the country, recently wrote a very favorable editorial with reference to the company, in which it said: "Patrons of the National Benefit association in this city speak of it comporatorially as an institution that has a conservative and successful business and behind which are men of the strongest character, and this same character in a sense has been imparted to the association. Philadelphiaans of all classes are slow to act, but they are able to discriminate between that which is unfair and that which is first rate." ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS. Young Educational Body Outlines Plans For Future Work. New York.—The second session of the Association of Colored Industrial Schools, which was organized six months ago, was recently held for two days in this city with representatives from schools in eight southern-states. An important feature of the work of the organization is to relieve the increasing difficulty with which schools for Afro-Americans in the various states meet in their efforts to secure financial assistance. Among the leaders of the movement present at this session of the association were Clarence H. Kelsey, president of the Title Guarantee and Trust company, New York: Dr. William E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis Magazine; Dr. James H. Dillard of the Slater and Jeanes funds and John Emlen of the Armstrong association, Philadelphia. The association adopted a constitution, in which are set forth the following aims—namely: To lay out in as definite a form as the complex circumstances of our schools will permit a program of academic and industrial work and study, both as to time and content, which shall constitute a minimum standard of actual accomplishment by units of work for all the schools, belonging to the association. To have the results of this program thoroughly and systematically tested by examinations, by exchange of teachers, by factfully directed competition or in any other way agreed upon by the association. To define what the term secondary and industrial school shall mean when used by members of the association. To introduce and have certified in all the associated schools thoroughly approved systems of accounting so as to insure to the public regular and detailed reports of all receplts in expenditures. To take counsel as to the wisest spending of money, with particular regard to the possibility of some kind of group or associate purchasing of stock supplies. To discourage in all rightful ways the starting of new schools for our people unless they have a reasonable assurance of support and unless there is obvious need for such schools. To discourage the duplication of school work in any single community where there are more schools than the available money or talent can support and where two poor institutions might easily be combined to make one that might be good. To guard against fraudulent schools and their agents, this precaution and initiative being of the greatest importance to the good name and support of worthy schools. To try to devise a better means of securing funds and of arousing and sustaining public interest In Negro education. To make known more generally the schools' needs, not only to the public at large, but to the great educational boards, funds and foundations. To hold regular meetings for systematic study of all the problems above mentioned. The association, which was founded under the direction of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, aims not only to bring to pass effective cooperation in improving the courses of study in these schools, correlating academic and industrial work and in wildening public interest in the cause of education among Afro-Americans, but also to purchase in some joint manner stock supplies for all the schools of the association. It is thought that thousands of dollars will be saved to scores of Negro schools by this arrangement. OKLAHOMA PREPARING FOR BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING. Local Leagues Start Campaign to Raise Big Entertainment Fund. Muskogee, Okla.—There need not be the least doubt as to the ability of the colored people of this city properly entertaining the meeting of the National Negro Business league next August. Even though that meeting is eight months removed, the citizens here and throughout the entire state are as much interested and are work- CONCORD LITERARY CIRCLE Brooklyn, Organization' Holds Year End Meeting Night With Dunbar. The Concord Literary circle in Brooklyn held an interesting meeting Thursday evening, Dec. 11, which concluded its program of public exercises of 1913. The general topic for the evening was Paul Laurence Dunbar and his literary productions. The chief speaker was Mrs. Pearl L. Delsarte, a woman of fine culture and literary attainments, who was personally acquainted with the late poet for many years. Mrs. Delsarte gave a splendid interpretation of the poet's works, recalling personal scenes and incidents from which Dunbar selected much of the data for his poetry and prose composition. She is a native of Ohio, in which state she received her early education. Since residing in New York Mrs. Delsarte has been quite active in movements for the betterment of the race, especially along the line of charitable social settlement work, in which she is an expert investigator. President Walter K. Taylor presided, and Miss D. May Scott, a graduate of the girls' high school and a student of the Training School For Teachers, recorded and also called the membership roll, to which each member responded with a quotation from Dunbar. The vocal and instrumental music rendered by several young men and women gave evidence of ability and careful study on their part. The officials are planning a series of addresses and lectures for the first three months of 1914. CHURCH BURNS MORTGAGE. Brooklyn Congregation Fees Property of Debt and Relays Cornerstone. The Siloam Presbyterian church, in Brooklyn, recently cleared its meeting house of debt by the payment of $17,000. At the relaying of the cornerstone the following articles were deposited under the capstone in a sealed box: Holy Bible, membership roll, picture of Bible class, roll home department Sunday school, cradle roll, church manual fifth anniversary, picture of church on Prince street, senior choir list, J. H. White organist; junior choir list, copy of the Brooklyn Dally Eagle of Nov. 18, Brooklyn Daily Standard Union of Nov. 19, the New York Age of Nov. 20, the Amsterdam News of Nov. 21 and the Brooklyn Times of Nov. 22. Upon these articles were placed the record of the church corporation, a brick from the church on Prince street, a program of the exercises celebrating the burning of the mortgage, names of all the officers of the church, picture of the church, names of all the working organizations of the church, church manual, Canadian coin, hymn book of Mrs. Mary Fisher, biography of Mrs. Fisher, the oldest member at her death. The Rev. Dr. William A. Alexander has been pastor of this church for the past fourteen years and still leads his parishioners onward and upward in religious achievement. New Book by Miss Mary W. Ovington. "Hazel" is the title of an extremely interesting book written by Miss Mary White Ovington of Brooklyn. The book is the first of its kind written by a white woman for children of the colored race. Its ideals are high, and a spirit of uplift, hope and inspiration pervades every page. The book is published by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, New York. ing as haru as n the meeting was but a week or two off. It is the intention of Oklahomans to far exceed the entertainment accorded the league delegates at Philadelphia last August, and working to this end they are now endeavoring to raise a fund of $5,000 exclusively among members of the race. The colored people of the entire state are working in conjunction with the Muskogee Business league. A spiritled though friendly rivalry has been engendered between various cities in the state as to which will send the largest delegation and as to which will make the best showing in the industrial parade planned to be given during the meeting. Visiting delegates when they arrive here will be amazed at the progress made and the wealth possessed by the colored people of Oklahoma. They will marvel at the beautiful homes and the beautiful streets of this and other cities in the state. Missionaries Sail For Foreign Field. Miss Elliza Davis and Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Simpson, missionaries to West Africa under the auspices of the foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention, sailed from New York on the Celtic at noon. Thursday, Dec. 11, for their respective fields. Miss Davis will work with Miss E. B. Delaney, who is already on the field at Monrovia, Liberia. FIVE CENTS A COPY. PYTHIANS ACTIVE IN MISSISSIPPI COLONEL RABY'S INFLUENCE Brigadier General John W. Harris Selects Prominent Business Man of Broad Experience. For Important Task of Increasing Membership and Efficiency of Secret Order. Gulfport, Miss.—The Knights of Pythias of Mississippi are putting forth every effort to develop the uniform rank and make it one of the strongest in the country. For that purpose Brigadier General John W. Harris has appointed Colonel G. V. Raby of this city chief of staff. Colonel G. V. Raby is one of the most prominent business men on the coast and has considerable influence among all classes of people in this section of the country. He has contributed much to the uplift of his people. He has been very successful and is the owner of much valuable property. He was born in Louisiana about fifty-one years ago. Although young and not long out of slavery, he felt that he should put forth an effort to help his parents in life; hence his education was limited, but what he did get was thorough, and he has been able to use it to good advantage. Thus he is numbered with the forces at work in the south for the elevation of our people. His first work was on the Mississippi river as second steward on a mail and passenger steamer. In this he distinguished himself as a manager and a man of rare ability. He made friends among the men who worked under him and with those who were over him. He had in mind that in order to succeed he would have to have friends. With this turn of mind it is not surprising to note that he took up politics, and he thought that through the ballot his people would have to help to win their way in securing their rights. He soon became a leader in politics in Louisiana. His worth was from time to time recognized, and he filled some important positions. Six years were spent in the United States customs service as sugar inspector and sugar sampler. For several years he held a position of trust in the United States mint. In this he distinguished himself. In everything that meant advancement of his race he was found in the front rank. In the work of the churches he is liberal in his contribution and always ready to assist in other directions. It was in 1902 that Colonel Raby left New Orleans for Gulfport at the beginning of its development. He thought that he would grow up with the town. The Great Southern hotel was just completed, and he accepted the position of baggage agent and transfer clerk. This position he held for ten years. He made good and invested his money in real estate. He is now chancellor commander of his Pythian lodge, senior warden in his Masonic lodge and past noble father in his Odd Fellows' lodge and an officer in the highest ranks in the Odd Fellows. Two years ago Colonel Raby got the contract for hauling the mail from the depot to the postoffice, and he is making a good record. Fourteen years ago death visited his home and took there from his wife. He looked after the children until four years ago, when he married Mrs. Rose Thompson Lively, the sister of N. D. Thompson of Los Angeles. Cal. His daughter married two years ago and is living in Gulfport. During the Spanish-American war Mr. Raby was one of the recruiting officers for the United States and assisted in the organization of the regiment which went from Mississippi to the front. Southern University's New President. The Southern university at Iberia, La., was established about forty-three years ago for the education of colored youth. Notwithstanding this fact during its long and eventful history no man of the colored race has had the honor of being president of the institution until recently the trustees elected Professor J. S. Clark to that exalted position. This mark of recognition of a capable member of the race will bring about greater results, it is alleged, through the co-operation of with races in the work and welfare of the university.

Whereas, the names of prominent citizens of Chicago who are honorary vice presidents and members of the advisory council of the commission appointed by the governor are being used by the voluntary association; therefore be it Resolved by the Illinois commission national half century anniversary of Negro freedom we declare that Negro freedom we deem it to be imperative to notify the public that the last named title is the only commission authorized by Governor Dunne under the sanction of the general assembly of Illinois to arrange for an anniversary of Negro freedom. We take this action so that the work of the only authorized state commission may not be confused with that of persons acting in a private and not in a governmental capacity. Signed in behalf of the commission: SAMELA FALLOWS, President SUSAN LAWRENCE JOERGEN-DAHL Vice President. The semicentennial celebration is expected to be the most striking affair of the kind ever attempted. Anderson Ends Tour of Pennsylvania. Managing Editor James H. Anderson of the Amsterdam News.

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 "PORC," 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.

SPINGARN, READY FOR LONG TOUR Will Make “strong Campaign Against Race Segregation. NEW ABOLITION MOVEMENT, New York.—Professor J. E. Spin- garn, formerly of Columbia university, New York, and now president of the New York branch of the Nationa! As- sociation For the Advancement of Col- ored People, will begin a tour of the middle west Jan. 1 in the interests of that association, for the purpose of protesting against the segregation of the races In the federal bureans in Washington and of stimulating the up- lift of the race in other ways. Dr. Spingarn 1s one of the mast ar- dent and: uncompromising white cham pions of the civil rights of the Ameri- can Negro. and bis western tour should certainly help to crystallize the nation- al conscience against segregution. jimn- crowism, lynching ard all other dis- adventages under which colored peo- ple in this country now suffer. Professor Spingarn’s first speech will be delivered at Detroit on the even- ing of Jan. 8. and be will then visit Indianapolis. Quincy, Chicago, Kansas City, Topeka, St. Louis and other cit: fes. He will make the entire tour at bis own expense. He has hud a distin guished career as a scholar-and pub- licist. For twelve years be was pro- fessor of comparative literature in Co- lumbla university, retiring in 1911. He is the author of numerous books. some of which have been translated into foreizn languages, and be is also the author of a volume of verse, “The ¢ ; | Recta at ; 6... SS: * a en eRe / BS oN eo ! Ss e | SS PL 3 p Se us oo. eee eet New Hesperides and Otber Poems,” which bas attracted much attention in this country as well as in England. He has been Interested In public af. fairs for many years, having been the Republican candidate for member of congress in the Eighteenth New York district in 1908, when he received the highest indorsements from President Roosevelt, Secretary of State, Elihu Root and other distinguished states: men. His services to the cause of the American Negro bave been especially important. He is an ardent exponent of the new abolitionism, which aims to bring to the cuuse of the rights of colored people the same’ devoted en- thusiasm which characterized the old. er abolitionism of William Lloyd Gur- rison and Wendell Phillips. As a dele- gute to the first Progressive national convention at Chicago in August, 1912, he attracted nattonal attention to this new movement by his gallant effort to commit the party to x plank tn «ts platform which would open the door of hope to the 10,000,000 colored peo- ple of the United States.

It is a spirit of joyous hope, religious optimism, praise and testimony to an experience of personal faith and fellowship with the Christ. It is a spirit of lofty altruism, which knows, feels and appreciates the superior blessedness of giving. He who possesses it first gives himself in loving, unselfish service. His task and his ambition are to spread abroad the glau-tidings of great joy, hope and inspiration, and to point out to others the way to Bethlehem, which is the way of peace. In Denver, her greatest Xmas is about to come out of the greatest storm. It is to be a white Xmas fo recertain, which fact alone lends joy to the occasion. The stage, with its background of snow and its invigorating, rejuvenating atmosphere and white coverlet, is set by a power higher than human effort. The essentials for a glorious time are all present; it is now up to the actors to play his or her individual part for a merry, merry Xmas. Dearfield settlement has done a great deal towards breaking down prejudice among the farmers. When Dearfield was first located the farmers said that they would not hire negroes to work on their farms. Last year negro labor was in demand and they were begging for their labor. Their most bitter enemies are now their best friends. Good farmers are in demand in Dearfield. One year ago there were but three houses in Dearfield. Now there are 17. That's going some. There are 600 acres under cultivation now. Ten new houses are to be built in 1914 and 1,000 acres will be under cultivation. This will mean $10,000 in revenue to the settlement. Every settler has agreed to do his level best to produce all he can in poultry, crops and stock to help produce a revenue of $50,000 in 1914. J. M. Holly, who was snowbound in Denver for a week, returned to his ranch last Saturday. Mrs. Clara B. Franklin has made application for the two lots to be given to a widow lady who would build and run a boarding house in Dearfield for the benefit of the locators. Mrs. Franklin is one of the pioneer locators and the Franklin hotel will be a popular resort for tourists. The big snow will assure a bountiful crop for 1914. Dearfield will be short only in one crop—that's babies. Won't you start the city and rural school in 1914? No better location for newly weds; altitude 2,800 feet; healthy climate; soil very fertile. 2,800 feet; fertile. 2130 Deligany Street. Sunday School, 10:00 a. m. and 11:00 a. m.

The water was shut out of the Bjou canal last week, which left thousands of fish in the small pools. The settlers are catching and salting them down for summer. Those who have lakes are stocking them. Said the Dearfield maiden, "You call me 'Dearie,' do you? Is it just because I live in Dearfield, or do you really mean it? I have only a five-acre tract of land in Dearfield; that's enough for us. Well, now, you just slip your arm from around me, sir, and get yourself some land while the getting is good." Mrs. Hattie B. Rothwell was down from her ranch in Dearfield, Colo., on business. She reports a good crop and good prospects for 1914. She is making an extension on her house and has her 160 acres all fenced in and rented out for winter pasture. Mrs. Rothwell is a hustling homesteader and it will pay some of the men homesteaders to consult her as to how to --- DEARFIELD. make a successful one. Every man and woman doing business in Colorado should be interested in Dearfield settlers' business. When they come to town with their money you want their trade. You should buy a pair of town lots or a five or ten-acre tract in Dearfield and keep in touch with this prosperous community. There is to be a deputy sheriff appointed for Dearfield settlement. Write the Dearfield Agency in Denver who will be the best man to appoint. THE EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Last year under the auspices of the People's Sunday Alliance all of the churches joined in a big celebration of 50th Anniversary (The Jubilee Occasion) of the Emancipation of the American Negro. The occasion was a memorable one, and the half century of race development during these fifty years was appropriately and elegantly discussed by Rev. Dr. R. E. Jones, of New Orleans. This year the celebration will be at Shorter's A. M. E., Thursday Evening, January 1st, and while the undertaking will not be so large in its financial obligations as last year (such an effort occurring in Denver only every half century) yet the program will be appropriate and highly instructive. And every Negro who can possibly be there is expected to come. We urge as the exercise of the evening is of some length, that every one strive to be at the church by 8:30. Program.

Northern Paper Exposes Jimcrowism in National Government Service. The spirit of America and its institutions which declares that neither creed nor color shall be the measure of man and his opportunity is a strange and an alien thing in Washington today. In its place is prejudice, narrow and sectional, and this prejudice rules in offices in which every employee has obtained his place through competitive examination and has won by merit alone the right to work in the service of his government, says the Philadelphia Press. For the first time in its history the jimcrow law of the south has invaded the department work at Washington. This is the law which says that the one distinction to be made, the one line to be drawn, is that of color. It prescribes the place and the limits which each race shall occupy. It forbids them to occupy the same quarters. The southern Democrats who come to official Washington have always brought with them the race-feeling of their section. They have showed it when occasion arose. It has never been concealed. But until now it has not been permitted to stalk abroad and ride roughshod over the usages and the practice of years. Never before has it interfered with the work of the government as it was being carried on at Washington. Occasionally there have been instances of individual race feeling in the departments, but this has always been promptly squeaked by the cabinet officer in charge whenever it showed its head. Now a settled plan and policy have been adopted. Those of one race shall no longer do their work in the same room with those of the other. It matters not that their work is of the same grade and character, that the method of performance is equal in merit, that the efficiency is the same. The law of the south that says to the man of one race "Thou shalt" and to the man of the other race "Thou shalt not" is now extended to the offices of the government. This has not happened casually. It is the result of deliberation. The head of the administration cannot say that he knows nothing of it. A thorough inquiry was made when first the charge of race separation was made. The inquiry was made by men who are friendly to the president and well wishers of his administration. It was thorough, and it was fair. The verdict was guilty, given regretfully, but with no uncertainty. One by one the departments have fallen into line and kept step to the new and backward march. In the great workshop of the nation, conducted and supported by the funds of the government, where the only entrance is by the door of civil service examination, there is today drawn the line of color, with all that such action means. And not until the rule of Woodrow Wilson has this thing been done. Bible Training School in Newark. The Bible training school of the Alpha Industrial institute has succeeded in securing permanent headquarters at 149 Bank street, Newark, N. J. The work is in charge of the Rev. Page M. Beverly, who has the co-operation of the pastors and churches in Newark and other cities and towns in the state in his efforts to build up strong institutions for religious instruction. A group of students of the school recently visited the 'Calvary Baptist church, East Orange, where they rendered a most instructive literary and musical program. Tuskegee Teachers Hold Reception. The annual teachers' reception at the Tuskegee (Aln.) institute was held Saturday evening, Dec. 6, in Tompkins hall. Besides the faculty of the institute, representatives were present from the Alabama State Teachers' association, and other well known and successful educators from Atlanta, Birmingham, Opelika and Montgomery. The occasion was not only a pleasant one, but afforded opportunity for mutual conference among those engaged with the various problems of school management. KEYSTONE CLUB SHAKES EUREKA HALL Bob Watkins, Clever Boxer and Veteran Trainer Knocks Out Jesse Scott in 5 Rounds. Scotty Williams Victor Over Goodie. Knock-Out Brown Winner of Battle Royal. Syl Stewart Lion of the Hour. 500 People Present. Scotty Williams and J. A. Dorsey Matched, also Kid Bell and Knock-Out Brown. When the Keystone Club celebrated its first annual smoker with an audience-satisfying ten round contest. a battle royal and a five round glove glove battle, the Eureka hall arena was the dedicated spot for the fistic sport, Monday night. The principals in the main events were Bob Watkins, at all time Colorado's heavyweight favorite and clever trainer and the big stalwart Jesse Scott, Missouri's popular heavyweight boxer. Long before the main event Bob Watkin's friends and rooters were loud in his praises, but most of the audience were skeptical about the outcome. Watkins with his ring experience, Jack Johnson methods and clever, scientific JACKSON 3 and resourceful store of fistic knowledge proved to be an easy master over the hard-working, aggressive and fast Jesse Scott, whose main points were his clinches and heavy punches at times placed on Watkins stomach and kidneys. Watkins made Scott look foolish toward the end of the bout when science began to show its complete mastery over strength, brawn and aggressiveness. "Sun Edwards," Brown," Indian J "One Round Hoga contestants and a lift up confusion of bloc and knockdowns in til "Sun Edwards" knocked out or voled out of the ring Jimmy," the game of all stood and to Jesse Scott was game, courageous and lacked training so well and easily discovered Monday night. In the fast fifth round Scott came up fresh and determined Watkins sidestepped and feinted, Scott rushed and shot his terrible right to Watkins stomach. The Scott rooters nearly went wild. Watkins smiled; Scott clinched and Watkins reigned a series of terrific rights and lefts on Scott's kidneys and after shooting a stiff right uppercut to the stomach, gave Scott a "Jack Johnson hug" and Scott sank to the floor apparently unhurt but the terrific work on his kidneys had its effect and Scott took the count. The crowd rushed in- --- to the ring and carried Bob Watkins around the hall while Webster's orchestra played "Everybody's Doing It." The fourth round showed Scott determined for a knock-out when he attempted a vicious left swing to Watkin's stomach, Watkins avoiding the blows either by clever foot work or stopped them on his his arms and shoulders. Anv of the blows if successfully landed would have sent Watkins out. THE BATTLE ROYAL. Of the fun, real sport and laughable incidents the battle royal was the funniest. Four men each in a corner of the 24 foot ring sprang at each other in the center of the ring. 9 "Sun Edwards," "Knockout Brown," Indian Jimmy" and "One Round Hogan,were the contestants and a lively mixed up confusion of blows, swings and knockdowns resulted until "Sun Edwards" either was knocked out or voluntary rolled out of the ring and "Indian Jimmy," the gamest Roman of all stood and took punish- BROOKLYN ment from both Brown and Hogan until a blow in the stomach finished him. Then enme the the cream of the royal between "Knockout MISS DOROTHY A.

The crowd was up on its feet, rooters and friends were advising from the ringside, both men seemed determine to win and after five minutes of fierce but clever boxing Hogan went down from a blow on the kidneys by Brown. Goodie the Kansas City clever boxer, was very good, yet light in weight, but no match for hardworking punishment taking - Scottie Williams, who knocked Goodie out in one round. Scottie Williams, the all round popular athlete is the best in all Colorado and has received plaudits from the white and colored alike.

Always congenial, frank, business-like, kind and sympathetic, he has won a host of friends to himself and the Keystone Club. When he was introduced his happy smile of recognition was a signal for a great demonstration and he deserves it all. John Carrie Jr. acted as a fair referee, while his father J. W. Carrie Sr., was the official timeeeper. J. A. Dorsey and Kid Bell were introduced and the following matches announced; Scottie Williams and J. A. Dorsey and Kid Bell and Knockout Brown for John Foster was also official timekeeper. Mr. Sylvester Stewart desires to thank all the public, black and white, who so loyally and generously supported the movement. He promises the same good conduct and good attendance on January 15th, when Knockout Brown and Kid Bell will box, also Albert Dorsey and Scottie Williams, including a more lively battle royal.

He Saw the Negro Passing as a Pugilist—Will the Dream Come True? Slowly, yet as sure as there is a tomorrow, is the white race regaining the upper hand in pugilism, and unless all signs are badly misleading, inside of another year or two the white fighters will once more reign supreme. for the last half dozen years the Negro has held the ace in the fighting game, but the change is about due, and when it takes place it is doubtful if ever again will the black man be given the opportunity to match his skill with the gloves against his white brethren. Once the championships of all divisions are held by white boxers, there is reason to believe that mixed bouts will forever be barred by the authorities, in the United States at least. At present the bantamweight championship of the world is held by a white boy, Johnny Coulon, who refuses to meet a Negro in the ring. Johnny cannot remain champion forever, but he is not likely to lose his title to other than a white boy. The featherweight crown is also worn by a white fighter, Johnny kilbane, and the little Cleveland artist does not intend to allow a Negro to beat him. Willie Ritchie is the lightweight champion, and there does not loom up a colored fighter who stans a chance against the Frisco miller. The only championship held by a Negro at the present time is the heavyweight title, which Jack Johnson still carts around. There are possibilities, though, that Johnson will shortly find himself relieved of the crown he has worn for the past five years. The Negro fighter is gradually dying out. Less than ten years ago the names of Joe Gans, Joe Walcott, Jack Blackburn, Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Sam McVey, and Joe Jeannette were common to the boxing fans. The last, of these are Langford, Jeannette and the champion. Langford and Jeannette are slowly fading, and inside of another year the pair will probably be forgotten. Their exhibition they are about ready to join the down and out club. True, Langford did not train for that bout, but those who have watched Sam in his fights since he returned to this country declare that he's done. Langford stalled along for many years, failing to give the fans the best he had, but now his star is gradually dying out.—The Indianapolis Freeman. (Recited by James J. Jeffries) Oh, it's great when the mob is cheering. And the hats are in the air; When a champion lies before you And you've grabbed the winner's share. You stand there in the spotlight, Undisputed, monarch—KING; A panting, battered, bruised and bleeding Ruler of the padded ring— But that's when you're champion. Ev'ry handshake holds a welcome, Years of struggle are a joke; Ev'ry face is smiling gladly Through the wreaths of curling smoke.

To save a vast amount of correspondence, it is here stated that this paper does not publish resolutions of any nature, cards of thanks, lengthy obituaries nor notices of gatherings to which admission is charged, unless they are paid for. It seems impossible to bring the general public to a realization of the fact that a publisher is written his rights when he demands payment for the publication of matter that has no news value. The average individual or organization willingly pays the printer for "dodgers" or "posters" calling attention to an entertainment or a business, but he thinks a newspaper ought to advertise it free of charge. A society passes resolutions of condolence with instructions that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased and to certain papers. The subject matter is of interest only to a few individuals, but the newspaper is expected to give them wide publicity without charge. The bereaved family wishes to express its thanks to friends for services rendered. To save postage, a card is handed to the newspaper publisher with the request that it be inserted free of charge, of course. In time it may happen, as with The Advocate, that the paper discontinues publication. Then there is heard a chorus of "I told you so's" usually sung by those who, in addition to having availed themselves of its advertising space tree of charge, are delinquent in their subscriptions. The Advocate has had sufficient experience of this kind to warrant the statement that it knows whereof it speaks consequently, it will hereafter, without exceptions, publish only at the regular advertising rates communications of the nature referred to above.
