right thing, but we must do it in the right way, and at the right time, if we achieve great triumps in life. Again, the "circumstances" of which so many complain, should be regarded as the very tools with which we are to work, the stepping stones we are to
mount by. They are the mind and tide in the voyage of life, which the skillful mariner always calculates upon and generally either takes advantage of or overcomes. The true way to conquer circumstances is to be a greater circumstance to yourself. Common sense bows to the inevitable and makes use of it. Instead of bemoaning our hard and unfavorable circumstances under which we are compelled to act, we must put ourselves "en rapport" with the circumstances, strike with, not against the forces of nature and honest principles in business dealings etc as the pile driver does, when it deals, its mighty blows. Mr. Thrower has slowly but steadily risen from one degree of success to another and at all times receives the commendation of honestly doing his duty.

When we find that one man may suck an orange and be choked by a pit, another swallow a pen knife and live; one run a thorn into his hand and die, in spite of the utmost efforts of medical skill, another recover, after a shaft of a gig has run completely through his body—we cannot help believing with Solomon, who doubtless had himself witnessed many such grim athitheses of life and death, that time and chance happen to all men and that circumstances have much to do with every man's career in life. Mr. Jesse T. Thrower, who has become well known, not only in Denver, but in Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek mining circles because of his close attention and strict application to the duties of his stewardship while at the Cripple Creek club. This club was composed of mine-owners only and his association there brought him in contact with the most influential and prominent business men of the State and nation. He worked hard and incessantly for the good and welfare of the club and unlike some others who took advantage of their trusted positions, refused to try to get rich in a minute, but through his honestly and integrity, he stands high in the opinions of his employers. While steward of the Republican club of this city he made an enviable record and was considered the politest, most economical and best steward ever employed by them. When the Republican club disbanded he was immediately employed by the Denver Motor club in the Majestic building, where he is entrusted with not only their cash, property, but with their many valuables. Speaking of him and his faithfulness the Denver Motor Club Journal says: "He came to Colorado in 1899 and located at Cripple Creek, where he wps employed as steward of the Cripple Creek Club. In the year 1906 he resigned as steward of that club and moved to Denver, where he was employed at the Denver Club. He was steward of the Republican Club of Denver for three years, until that club disbanded, since which time he has given perfect satisfaction as steward of the Denver Motor club.
He is faithful, honest and efficient and well liked by all the members of the club." "We talk of life as a journey," says Sidney Smith, but how variously is that journey performed. There are others who walk on Alpine paths of life, against driving misery, and through stormy sorrows, over sharp afflictions, walk with bare feet and naked breast, jaded, mangled and chilled."

ENERGY OF W. H. STEWARD.
Work of a Pioneer Editor and Champion of His Race.
Louisville, Ky.—Among the men who have worked their way up from obscurity to prominence by giving their time and talents to movements for the advancement of the race is William H. Steward of this city. Mr. Steward is the editor of the American Baptist, one of the oldest publications issued by our people in the United States. He is one of the best known men in Kentucky and wields a potent influence for good.
Editor Steward belongs to what many are pleased to call the "old guard" in Afro-American journalism. Other men of this group who have been on the editorial firing line, like himself, for over a quarter of a century and some as long as thirty-one years are T. Thomas Fortune, who edited the New York Age for about twenty-seven years; Chris J. Perry, editor and owner of the Philadelphia Tribune; John H. Murphy, editor and proprietor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger and president of the National Negro Press association, and the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette. For thirty-five years Mr. Steward has been the active and capable general secretary of the General Baptist association of Kentucky, a position of much responsibility, which he still
WILLIAM H. STEWARD. holds with great credit and satisfaction to those whom he serves. He is also the chairman of the trustee board of the state university in this city, of which William T. Auriger is president. He was the choice of hundreds of pastors and laymen a few years ago as their representative to England in the interest of religious work. On his return from abroad he delivered a series of lectures in which he gave interesting accounts of his trip. So popular were his lectures that he made a tour of the state, speaking in the larger cities and towns.
It was while holding the position of secretary of the Afro-American council that Mr. Steward attracted state wide attention in the fight of the council against the jimcar car bill, which came before the state legislature at that time. His life has been a useful one, and his efforts for the good of the race have been felt in many directions for racial betterment.
AN ILLUSTRATED CALENDAR
National Benefit Association Issues Handsome and Expensive Date Book.
The 1914 calendar of the National Benefit association in Washington is a thing of beauty. The illustrations are varied and timely, representing by photographs the progress of the race in business, education, medicine, law, religion and patriotism. The author of the composition says in describing the illustrated work:
"The figure on the calendar which typifies that of advance in education is Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Howard university. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, who represents religion, has had a most successful pastorate at the great Nineteenth Street Baptist church for thirty-one years.
In the law scene is Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the municipal court; Counselor James H. Hayes, a leader in the Progressive party movement; Hon. James A. Cobb, assistant district attorney, and Mr. Lawson, a court reporter. Surgery is represented by an actual operation being performed at Freedmen's hospital by Dr. W. A. Warfield, surgeon in chief; Dr. S. L. Carson, assistant and an interne. The soldier personifying the Negro of the army is, like ourselves, concerned in holding the flag of "Progress Upward." The picture denoting business is taken from the bookkeeping department of the association.
New Book by Professor J. W. Cromwell.
"The Negro In American History" is the title of a book written by Professor John W. Cromwell, principal of the Alexander Cromwell school and secretary of the American Negro academy in Washington. The purpose of the book, which will soon make its appearance, is to furnish the teacher with supplementary material to encourage the youth of the race to take greater interest in the affairs of government and especially the various movements for racial advancement.
After giving a broad survey of the history of America, from its discovery and settlement through emancipation, the civil war and citizenship, the work includes detailed biographical sketches of eighteen colored men and women eminent in widely different fields of endeavor.

Norfolk (Va.) Citizens Hold Meeting. Under the auspices of a committee headed by Mr. E. C. Hammie a mass meeting was held in the Bank Street Baptist church in Norfolk, Va., Wednesday evening, Dec. 3, the object of which was to call the attention of the colored citizens to the importance of the right of franchise and why at this time it is decidedly important that the male citizens exercise their right to vote as guaranteed to all male citizens of the United States by the constitution. The Citizens' party movement in Norfolk is said to be causing much enthusiasm. The chief speaker on this occasion was the Rev. Dr Charles S. Morris, whose subject was "Is It Lawful to Sourge a Roman Citizen?" Editor P. B Young, Editor Kelley, Prosecuting Attorney Shackleford. Rev. Dr Berryman and other prominent men were among those who made brief addresses.

Siloam Presbyterian Church Notes.
The Siloam Presbyterian church in Brooklyn, pastored by the Rev. William A. Alexander for the past fourteen years, is free of debt. Exercises in reference to the event were held in the church during Thanksgiving week, and on Sunday, Nov. 30, overflow meetings were held and the mortgage burned. The amount recently paid freeing the property of all indebtedness was $17,000. Representatives from the Brooklyn presbytery were present at the relaying of the cornerstone previous to the final exercises, at which the mortgage was burned. Dr. Alexander is highly esteemed by his brother ministers of the denomination and was once the moderator of the Brooklyn presbytery.

My Dear Jackson:—I am in receipt of your letter of the 18th inst. I am glad to hear such a favorable report of the Colony and hope that its success will continue and that a prosperous community will develop from your efforts.
I am sending your name to the Agricultural Department and you will shortly be supplied with seed of various kinds which are specially suitable for dry land farming. I would suggest that you have your people note carefully the instructions contained in the packages and if possible keep a record of the growth and development of the plants. The department requires reports from those who receive the seed, and I think you will agree that instructions in that respect should be carefully observed in return for the free seed.
JOHN F. SHAFROTH.
The Republican National Committee, at its meeting in Washington last week, adopted proposed amendments to the Republican party rules changing the basis of representation so that the Southern states will poll only 16 instead of 38 per cent. of the total vote in a Republican National convention. They also adopted proposed amendments allowing state primary laws to control in those states where the primary laws are in opposition to the rules of the Republican party concerning the recognition of delegates to a national convention. The two proposed changes were submitted to the state conventions of the party with the proviso that they would become a part of the rules of the party after they had been adopted by conventions representing a majority of the electoral votes for president. The National committee convened for the purpose of considering the calling of a convention to make the above changes in the party rules. After two days' discussion it was decided that a more popular way would be for the National committee to recommend the changes and have them endorsed by the various state conventions. This, because such an endorsement would carry far more weight than to have the rules so changed by a National convention called in an off year and organized under the same rules which controlled during the organization of the Chicago convention.
Leaders representing every faction of the Republican party were present and, with but seven exceptions, endorsed the scheme. Those present believed that these changes when put

In all probability Senator Cummings of Iowa will be the principal speaker at the Lincoln Day Banquet February 12th. An invitation was extended to him last week in Washington and he stated he would be glad to accept the invitation and would do so unless senatorial duties prevented. Plans for the banquet are going rapidly forward and early reports indicate a large attendance.

GREEN ON WASHINGTON.
More Producers and Less Consumers Is What Both Races Need.
Robert P. Green in a recent letter to the New York Times makes the following significant statement in reference to Dr. Booker T. Washington's advice to the colored people. Mr. Green says:
The appeal of Booker T. Washington to his fellow Afro-Americans to become mechanics, brickmakers, farmers, cattle raisers—in short, to improve themselves into the best kind of common folk instead of seeking the impossible through "education," should not only receive a hearty "Amen!" with material help thrown in, but Dr Washington should be asked why he restricts his advice to Negroes only.
Surely the impossible and, worse yet, the extremely undesirable have been attempted with the white race in this country these many years. No one honestly supposes that what is commonly called "education" can be got or is got into the heads of any large
percentage of pupils, even with our pretentious curriculum.
In New York the Hawes committee officially and with painful accuracy reports "graduation from S-B is no proof that the pupil knows anything thoroughly." Page 251, eleventh school report, says, "Many principals in order to win favor report favorably on new devices (in teaching) regardless of facts." This is to pretend they are doing what they know they are not doing at all.
A superintendent recently wrote that a certain deceased principal had run the risk of censure by not promoting unit pupils. It was a wondrous confession. Why should Booker Washington's advice be kept only for Negroes? Does he want them to own the country? That is the way to go about it anyhow for any race that wants it. More producers, less consumers, and the race that does this gets the prize. Wake up, white folks, and see what schools are doing to your children!

EDUCATIONAL WORK SOUTH.
Notable Advance In Rural School Improvement In Virginia.
The demonstration work which is being carried on in six of the southern states is adding new life and hope to the people who send their children to "the schools in the background"—schools that are isolated and too often lacking in good teachers, physical equipment and ventilation.
The value of the work of the industrial supervising teachers as they go about helping those at work in the rural districts can scarcely be estimated. The reflex influence of improved country schools on country homes and communities is most potent and beneficial.
Jackson Davis of Richmond, state supervisor of rural elementary schools and a pioneer in helping colored industrial supervising teachers, has prepared a most interesting summary at Hampton institute of the work of twenty-three colored workers who are assisting rural teachers in twenty-five Virginia counties to introduce useful industrial work in the colored country schools.
These school demonstrators are helping the people to lengthen school terms, build, remodel and repair schoolhouses, paint and whitewash buildings and outhouses, introduce individual drinking cups, teach cooking and sewing and organize school improvement leagues.
Mr. Davis reports that the Virginia industrial supervising teachers have visited regularly 417 colored schools out of 591 in twenty-five counties. By private subscription the school term was extended at least one month in 189 schools. Brunswick county, Va., extended the school term in forty out of forty-four schools. Cumberland, Caroline and Northampton counties, in Virginia, also made unusual records in the extension of the rural school terms. Twenty new schoolhouses were erected, costing $24,000. Fifteen schools were enlarged at a cost of $2,000. Forty-six schools were painted, eighty-one whitewashed; 122 sanitary outhouses were built, 317 individual drinking cups were introduced, and 428 school improvement leagues raised for school purposes nearly $23,000 among the colored people. These figures do not include labor and material furnished by the colored people.
Gardening and canning work were successfully carried on during the summer months in fifteen counties. The reports show that 417 gardens were rated "good." Some 22,773 jars of vegetables and fruits were canned for winter use, 193 cooking lessons were given in rural homes, 178 sewing lessons were taught and 136 homes were whitewashed. School demonstration work in Virginia means better schools and better homes for those who live in the country and deserves all the help can receive.
BROWNING IS OPTIMISTIC
New Jersey Congressman Defends Ability of Colored Federal Employees.
Washington.—This city is stirred as never before on account of the great agitation which is going on in reference to the segregation of white and colored civil service employees in the various departments of the government service. The protest presented to the president not long ago and the investigation made by a representative of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People have gone far toward awakening a sense of justice in the minds of those responsible for the existence of segregation among the clerks and other federal employees.
In an address recently delivered in this city by Representative W. J. Browning of New Jersey he said:
"Civil liberty, whether enjoyed in whole or in part, has demonstrated the ability of colored citizens to advance in the scale of human progress against great odds. Much, it is true that citizenship is supposed to confer is denied, but in many states the franchise is freely exercised, and this, it should be remembered, in states where this privilege is not likely to be withdrawn by circumvention of the constitution or other device and where numerical strength weighs heavily in the political equation. This strength has usually been on the side of good government.
"We know that the full measure of representation is not accorded, but recognition of this principle is found in the filling of offices and positions of honor and trust in every branch of the government service and in the army and navy. They are here in the departments, and they would not be here if they lacked skill and efficiency. They are here because the equal opportunity was given them to enter through the door of a civil service examination. They are not here because they belong to a certain race or class, but in spite of that fact. They are participating in government, doing the government work, are a part of the machinery.
"The flag, the only flag they have ever known, floats over every government building in which they work the common flag of every American citizen, signifying unity as one in all things pertaining to the common welfare. Here the standard is efficiency, here all are civil servants; here class, social, religious and political distinctions have no rightful place. Each and all are American citizens, nothing more and nothing less than American citizens.
"I venture to assert that there are few men today anywhere in this country who would be willing to return to the system which the abolitionists strove to stamp out and which was stamped out. There may be, and doubtless are, men who, while feeling that way about the institution of slavery, nevertheless are hostile to the colored man. This feeling is engendered by race prejudice and is manifested in ways only too well known to the public."
LIBERIA THANKS DR. LYON
FOR DONOVAN TRUST FUND
West African Republic Pleased With Work of Its Representative.
Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, the Liberian consul general to the United States, has received a number of letters from prominent Liberians commending his efforts in getting the accumulated interest of the Donovan trust fund for the development of Liberian schools.
Among those who wrote him are Dr. J. H. Reed, president of the College of West Africa, and Hon. C. D. B. King, attorney general of the Liberian republic. The latter wrote as follows: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch, dated Oct. 9, conveying the most pleasing and gratifying announcement of the successful competition of the transaction relative to the Donovan trust fund and the turning over to your custody the amount of $65,511.11, being the sum realized from said fund and held by the American Colonization society.
TURNER HEADS VIRGINIANS.
Popular Brooklyn Society Holds Reception and Re-elects Officers.
Brooklyn.-That the Society of the Sons of Virginia in this city continues to occupy a high place in public favor was again made evident by the large attendance at its sixteenth annual reception, held at Sumner hall Thursday evening, Dec. 11. The occasion afforded ample opportunity for friendly greetings between resident Virginians in Greater New York and was noted for the presence of a representative class of citizens of high business, professional and social standing.
Music was furnished by the New Amsterdam orchestra, led by J. O. Allen. The activities of the society during the year have been directed toward a revision of the constitution and bylaws of the organization to more adequately meet the demands of the constantly increasing membership, increase in the amount paid to its members in time of illness and the amount paid to the heirs of a deceased member. It has contributed to several organizations which exist for charitable and religious betterment. President Charles H. Turner has given much time to the work of the society and is held in the highest esteem by the members.
At the annual election of officers for the ensuing year, held Thursday evening, Dec. 18, all the officers were re-elected except Chaplain Alexander Brown, who declined to serve another year. They are the following:
Charles H. Turner, president; B. H. Chandler, vice president; P. H. Fisher, financial secretary; G. H. Carter, treasurer; A. R. Nash, corresponding secretary; Charles J. D. Kemp, recording secretary; William H. Banks, chaplain; J. S. Watkins, sergeant-at-arms. Board of Directors—Charles J. D. Kemp, secretary; L. H. Berry, chairman; G. H. Carter, treasurer; Charles H. Turner, J. W. Winters, H. S. Newton, T. P. Mosley, P. B. Swan and P. H. Fisher.
High Honor For Dr. E. C. Morris.
The American committee for the celebration of the signing of the treaty of Ghent and the 100 years of peace between the United States and England recently met in Richmond, Va. Afro-Americans the country over are proud of their representative in that important body in the person of Dr. Elias C. Morris, president of the national Baptist convention.
Good Fortune of the Curry Institute.
The Curry institute at Urbana, O., has recently come into possession of real estate valued at $2,000, which was given by Mrs. Martha Foust. This gift and the $1,000 contributed to the Indianapolis (Ind.) branch of the Y. M. C. A., are the largest contributions thus far recorded from any of the women of the colored race.
THE HAMPTON INSTITUTE.
The Christmas concert given by the singing classes at the Hampton (Va.) institute was brilliant, interesting and instructive. Like the other departments of the school, the music section is showing greater ambition from year to year. It would not be at all surprising if there were developed at Hampton in the future a great conservatory of music.
The subjects and those who took part in the Christmas program were the following:
"Calm on the Listn'ing Ear of Night," by day school; (a) "Peace on Earth" and (b) "There Dwelt In Old Judea," by night school girls; "Nazareth," by the night school boys; "Creole Eyes," by Miss Lillian Paterson and Miss Leta Mørers; "Haste Thee, Nymph," by the junior middle school girls; "Samson and Dellahil," by the from "Samson and Dellahil," by Miss Carolyn Murie and choir; "While Shepherds Watched," adapted from the carcarole; "Tales of Hoffman," senior middle class; "Child Divine," by the junior day school girls; "Chorus of shepherds," from "Star of Light," by the junior middle night school boys; "Glory to God," from "Star of Light," by the senior class and day school, with harp accompaniment by Mr. Maxton; "Softly Shades of Evening," by the boys' quartet; "Beautiful Bells" (round), by the day school; original composition for baritone horn, by Mr. J. A. Watkins; "Christmas," by the choir.

‘The disregard for the constitutional

WHAT YOU MUST PAY FOR.
‘To Save a vast amount of corre-
spondence, it is here stated that this
paper does not publish resolutions of
any mature, cards of thanks, lengthy
obituaries nor notices of gatherings to
which admission is charged, unless
they are paid for.
Tt seems impossible to bring the
general public to a realization of the
fact that a publisher is within 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 @ business, but he thinks a news.
Paper ought to advertise it free of
charge. A society passes resolutions
of condolence with instructions that
@ copy be sent to the iamily 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 public-
ity Without charge. The bereaved
family wishes to express its thanks to
friends for services rendered. To save
postage, « card is handed to the news.

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 hav-
ing availed themselves of its adver-
tising space free of charge, are delin-
quent in their subscriptions.
The Advocate has had sufficient ex-
perience of this kind \. warrant the
Statement that it knows whereof it
speaks: consequently, it will hereat-
ter, Without exceptions, publish only

munications of the nature referred to
above.—The Advocate.

PAUL LEON CALDWELL.
J. B.
For years with the German-American Trust Co., as custodian and bank collector, during his spare moments, has composed a very sentimental song, so beautifully set to music by Joseph Redmon and entitled, "Love Is the Tenderest Flower." It is the old, old story of love with all of its impulses, ramifications, sadnesses and sorrows, yet undying and ever faithful. "Love triumphs all things." Mr. Joseph Redmon, known in Denver as not only a syncopated pianist, but also as an artist of the guitar, was so deeply imbued with Mr. Caldwell's words of the love song, that his musical disposition easily crystallized the sentiments so that others musically inclined could and would interpret the author's voice vibrations. These young men, both bank collector's, have each shown a musical possibility. Why not have the public substantially encourage them by buying their music?
