Between two and three hundred persons assembled in the brotherhoop of ma ATTEMPT TO EXCLUDE Kiowa, Kan...The attempt of a number of narrow-minded white persons of this town to exclude Negroes as residents has not met with the approval of Gov. Hodges, who, in a letter to one of the prejudiced citizens, announced himself as unalterably opposed to discrimination of any kind on account of color. Recently Gov. Hodges paroled from the Kansas Panientiary Ollie Turner, a colored woman, who was given a position as domestic in the home of one of the leading citizens of Kiowa. Not long after Ollie Turner had taken up residence in Kiowa her employer received threatening letters, and was informed that a petition had been circulated to force him to discharge his colored servant, as the residents did not want any Negroes in the town. The employer wrote to Governor Hodges, informing the executive of the threatening letters. The Governor was told that Ollie Turner had been kindness itself, that she was the best domestic he ever had, and that she attended strictly to her own business. When a letter protesting against Ollie Turner's presence in Kiowa was received, he answered as follows: utterances of Senator Vardaman of Mississippi and Governor Blease of South Carolina. Continuing he said: employ Hodges tive of t The Go I regret advising you that a statement of that kind is unfair, not Democratic, and I do not believe it is in accordance with the wishes of the citizens of Kiowa, Kan. If the conduct of the paroled Negro woman is not satisfactory to your citizenship, I ask that you state specifically in what manner her conduct has been objectionable. I would also ask that you advise me wherein she has violated any of the rules of the Parole Board. These rules are binding, are sharply drawned, and are very drastic. I am anxious to have information at the earliest possible moment, so that I may be able to give your letter further consideration. If there is no other reason for her commitment to the penitentiary, or her transportation to some other city, than that she is a colored woman you should know without writing me that your request will not be granted, or even considered. The colored people of Kansas have the same right to the protection of the law of our State as the white race has, and so long as I-am Executive, the laws of this State will be enforced impartially. I am astonished that any man should so far forget himself as to make a request such as you have and should be so unfair to any race of people ```markdown ``` Professor Park Declares Ban of Caucasions is Banding Blacks Together. Minneapolis, Minn.—Social conditions in the United States are tending to develop in the Negro a racial consciousness and to organize a Negro nationality, declared Robert F. Park, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, recently before the American Sociological society, which was meeting here jointly with the American Economic association. Professor Park spoke on "Racial Assimilation Within Secondary Groups." "The nationalizing tendency among the Negroes of this country is the result of the white man's ostracism of his black brother," Professor Park said. He criticised the public "A race which has attained the character of a nationality map still retain its loyalty to the state of which it is a part, but only insofar as that state incorporates, as an integral part of its organization, the practical interests, the aspirations and the ideals of that nationality. In the South, the race seems to be tending in the direction of a bi-racial organization of society in which the Negro is gradually gaining a limited autonomy. It is hard to estimate the net effect of of the white man's insolation of the Negro. One of the most important effects has been to establish a common interest among all the different colors and classes of the race. This sense of solidarity has grown up gradually with the organization of the Negro people. "It is stronger in the South where segregation is more complete than is more complete than it is in the North, where twenty years ago, it would have been safe to say that it did not exist. Gradually, imperceptibly' within the larger world of the white man, a smaller world of the black man, is silently taking form. "No doubt kindly relations between the individual members of the races do exist in the South, and to an extent not known in the North. As a rule, it will be found that these kindly relations had their origin in slavery. The men who have given the tone political discussion in the Southern states in recent years are men who did not own shaves." NEGROES IS THWARTED DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 17, 1914 Have Better Chance Here Than Anywhere Else In the World To Live and Improve. By Dr. H. B. Frissel. Colored People Hampton Va. "Here in Virginia, colored people have a better chance than any where else in the world, to live and improve. We can work out the race problem better in America than any where else. While there is much for the colored people to struggle for, still there should be great thanks to God for what has been accomplished.' These inspiring words were spoken by Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, when he addressed the large audience of colored people who had assembled in the Normal School Gymnasium to hold a union celebration of their fifty years of freedom. Dr. Frissell urged the colored people to co-operate for the development of the nation. He referred to the work which the Negro Organization Society is doing to teach the lessons of "Better Health, Better education, Better farms Better Homes." He expressed his pleasure at seeing so many colored people of the Lower Peninsular gather at Hampton Institute. Rev. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, the presiding officer referred to the important work which old colored mothers and fathers had done in making it possible for young people to get an education. Addresses by local colored men and women showed the progress that has come during fifty years of freedom and the work that remains to be done. The music included singing by the large Hampton chorus and audience, and band selections under the direction of Prof. W. M. O. Tessman. Sue Chinaman For Drawing Color Line. A Chinaman has been made defendant in the first suit brought in Brooklyn by a colored citizen to test the legality of the Levy law, which became operative last September. In the First Municipal Court on July July 14 Mortimer Harrison and Miss Wilna Shackelton will appear against the proprietor of the Port Arthur Chop Suey restaurant, 120 Flatbush avenue avenue, for a violation of Chapter 265 of the Laws of 1913. The plaintiffs allege they entered the Chinaman's restaurant on Dec. 18 and ask for chop suey, and that they were refused service because of their color. The court is asked to award each plaintiff $500. and more especially to a colored women whom we are giving an opportunity to reclaim her lost citizenship and regain her place in society. Ollie Turners's employer has not been threatened since the Governor wrote the letter setting forth his position. New York Age. New York, Jan. 7.—Dr. C. A. Johnson, the oldest colored physician in the city, died New Year's day. He was born in New Jersey 61 years ago.

She was born in Orange Co., Virginia, in 1811, where she lived until the close of the Civil War. She came to Kansas nearly three years ago. Honors To The Race. The Negro race has won two distinction in Massachusetts recently worthy of comment. At Falls River, a colored baby won the first prize at a baby show in which all the other entrants were white. The Harvard Senior class has elected A. L. Jackson, colored as class orator, and he will be the principal speaker at commencement exercises next June. There were nine other candidates, all white. In the colored grammar school of Indianapolis, of which Mr. Wm. Valentine is supervisor, a mural decoration has been painted by Wm. E. Scott, a young artist of Indianapolis, who is now studying in France. The painting illustrates the Mother Goose rhyme of "The Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe," and was completed last March The children typifying the characters are all children of color' Mr. Scott is ambitious to do for the Negro in art what Paul Lawrence Dunbar did in poetry by the use of Negro dialect, Mr. Lewis Gamble, a colored cornetist, of Detroit, Mich., has invented a mute for the cornet which is in demand by players of that instrument. ged into The Denver In Negroes To Unite For Their Own Edward Russell Implores Colored To Get Together.

Referring to the segregation of government employees in Washington, Mr. Russell de- clared that in placing its seal on this monstrous infamy the hands upon the government clock were turned back fifty The speaker asserted with emphasis that he disagreed with Mr. Villard; that from his observation he hid not believe segregation in government departments had been checked, nor did he believe it would be checked. The remedy is for the Negro to lay aside every thought save the one of securing justice. There should be for the Negro no Republican party, no Democratic party, no Socialist party, but he should unit solidly in the strength of ten million souls and stand for himself. During the afternoon the annual business session of the Association was held, and after reports from branches were heard, officers were elected. Reports from the Philippine Islands indicate that the treatment of the colored soldiers is becoming worse and that when in 1914 and 1915,200 and 606 men, respectively, have finished their terms of service there will be few re-enlist ments.

UPWARD CLIMB OF DR.D.W.SHERROD UPWARD CLIMB OF DR.D.W.SHERROD Persistent Worker For Advancement of the Masses. HONORED BY HIS ASSOCIATES Leading Physician of Mississippi, President of State Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Association and Member of the State Tuberculosis Commission. Meridian, Miss. — From an humble home in Macon, Miss., to becoming one of the leading physicians and surgeons in the state, with $75,000 worth of real estate, is the record of Dr. D. W. Sherrod of Mississippi, president of the Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental association of the state. Dr. Sherrod was born March 10, 1809, in Macon and received his early school training there, graduating from the Macon high school. The fact that he had graduated from the high school and had been able to teach and was called "professor" was not sufficient. Teaching was a means to an end with him. He used the money received from teaching to take him through college. He had fully decided that he was going to be of some service to his country and to his race, and, believing that he should be thoroughly qualified, he continued his work in school. From the principalship of a large school he found his way to Fisk university and remained there until he graduated from the college department in 1896. While in Fisk university he made many friends among the teachers on account of his rare ability as a D. W. SHERROD, M. D. student. Graduating from Fisk university, he returned to the schoolroom as an instructor for a short time only, because he had fully decided to study medicine. He entered Meharry Medical college with the determination to make good, and he was successful, for he stood in the front rank as a student, and so well was his work done in the classes that after his graduation he was appointed one of the instructors in Meharry, which position he held for three years and until he felt that he was ready to commence his career as a practicing physician. Returning to his native state, he established himself in his home city, Macon. He was fully prepared to go before the state board and passed a successful examination and was given special mention in the daily papers. Having become a full fledged physician, it was fitting that he should return to the scenes of his early youth, to the town where he had attended public school, where he had played with the boys, the place where he had played marbles and ball, where he had enjoyed his boyhood pranks. He fitted up and opened a fine drug store, which was conducted with success. The people who had employed the white doctors sent for him. This created a little jealousy. He saw that it was growing, so he moved to Meridian. It did not take Dr. Sherrod long to get into the hearts of the people in Meridian. His reputation as a physician had preceded him. His drug store is well patronized and is conducted in first class style. He was appointed a member of the tuberculosis commission of the state, and the physicians, pharmacists and dentists of the state have recognized his worth by electing him for three successive years to the position of president. He is one of the worthy and substantial citizens of the state, being connected with everything that has for its object the elevation of his race. On the 20th of August, 1913, he was married to Miss Bessie Lena Williamson of Meridian, who is a graduate of Fisk university and who comes from one of the foremost families in the city. She is an accomplished and talented young woman. In addition to his property in Mississippi, Dr. Sherrod owns valuable property in New York city. Harvard Seniors Honor A. L. Jackson The senior class at Harvard university recently elected A. L. Jackson of Englewood, N. J., as class orator. Mr. Jackson is noted for his eloquence and is also prominent in athletics, being a crack member of the track team. He is the second colored man to receive such high honors by the vote of his classmates. R. C. Bruce of Washington was the first member of our race to be elected class orator at Harvard. BOLEY CITIZENS MAKE DENIAL Proposed African Movement In Great Disfavor. TRUTH ABOUT THE MATTER. Mayer Powell and Other Prominent Business Men Issue Signed Statement Warning Public Against "Chief" Alfred C. Sam, the Original Promoter of the So Called Gold Coast Scheme. Boley, Okla.—Mayor C. B. Powell, M. J. Jones, president of the Commercial club, and other prominent citizens of this town have signed and caused to be issued the following statement to the public in reference to one Alfred C. Sam. The document says: "We have had reports from various parts of the country stating that people have been advised that many of the best people of the town of Boley are following a movement to the Gold Coast of Africa. In order that those who are interested may know the truth we are issuing the following facts just as they are and for whatever they are worth to the public: "We regret in the first place that it becomes necessary to have to make a statement in which we are forced to defend ourselves from a false attack of one of the race. It would rather be expected that if we had enemies they would come from other sources. Yet we are frank to acknowledge that there is a man in this section who calls himself Chief Alfred C. Sam and who claims to be a native of the Ashanti tribe of the Gold Coast of Africa. "This man is working among our people here, seeking whom he may devour among a class of poor, aged, helpless and ignorant people who are, as a rule, the most wretched of all the people of our section of the state. The people who are following this man are a class who deserve rather to be helped than taken from. "This man Sam claims to be a divine healer of the sick, a prophet, etc. He also claims he is the chief of the Ashanti tribe of Africa and president of the Akim Trading company, which is to buy a ship and engage in trade in Africa and the United States. "He came to Boley a few months ago and represented that he was president of the Akim Trading company, then of New York, but since that time he has changed his place of incorporation to South Dakota. In the original company the A. E. Smith of 61 East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street, New York, was secretary, but Mr. Smith has refused to be responsible for the acts of the Akim Trading company or Chief Sam, and in the new company chartered in South Dakota this man Sam and his friends are the whole directory. "The sheriff of Okuksee county has in his possession a letter from parties in Pennsylvania stating that three years ago this same man Sam came to that section selling shares at $5 per share and that he collected considerable money and left for parts unknown and that they had not heard from nor of him until one of the former victims saw in a newspaper that Chief Sam was playing his game in Clearview, Okla. "A representative of the British government has pronounced the scheme of this man Sam as a fake and has so stated in a letter to the governor of the state of Oklahoma, which was published in the daily papers, yet these refuse to pay attention to the war. These poor misguided people will not believe reports and continue to follow this man Sam blinoly and without a complaint. "The Fort Smith Record of date of Dec. 14 had a lengthy article stating in the main the facts we have stated above, but no one seems to care what Sam does to these helpless Negroes, since they will not listen to reason, and the better class of the people of the county, white and Negroes, believe it is well to get rid of a class of undesirable citizens. After the report came out that a ship was to sail from Galveston about the 15th of December, some of these people who are following Sam actually sold property which did not belong to them and property which they dbd not have. "They neglected their crops and followed the meetings of this man, and now they are homeless, out of money and camping out of doors in Weleetka, the headquarters of this movement, and the most of them are suffering and facing sickness and starvation, while Sam cares nothing about them or their welfare after he gets their money. "In all there have been about twenty persons from Boley who have sold out and are following the movement of Chief Sam. "C. B. Powell, mayor of Boley; W. L. Jones, postmaster; T. M. Haynes, Dr. J. L. Scott, B. Oliver and M. J. Jones, president Commercial club." Doctor Taylor Speaks to Hoboes. The new home of the Hoboes' association at No. 816 Callowhill street, Philadelphia, was opened recently with an address by Dr. C, A. A. P, Taylor, author of "The Conflict and Commingling of Races," who spoke on "The Under Man and the Irrepressible Conflict." The place will accommodate fifty migratory workers and was established by the Brotherhood Welfare association. It will be in charge of Will Quirk, secretary of the organization.

A careful perusal of the ordinance offered by the water company and the retailers’ association will disclose the following information, viz.: First—That the water company and the utility board and then the com. bined aggregation name the apprais- ers who will be kind enough to fix a value of the company’s plant, and the taxpayers and consumers just pay any price which they_might fix by VOTING the BONDS covering the ap- praised value. In other words, all the taxpayers will have to say in the mat- ter will be to vote upon themselves the burdens already fixed by some- body else. Again, there is a clause in the ordinance which provides for certain division and distribution of profits after certain uncertain things happen, i. e., after the stockholders receive certain per cent. on their in- vestment. Don't you see that if the aggre- gated and federated board. of control wanted to do so a certain per cent. could not and would not ever be paid. There are other features which The Star will take up from time to time, so as to advise its readers. THE CIVIL SERVICE OPPORTU- NITY.

The Farmers’ Mutual Aid Society will hold its annual meeting March 3rd, 1914, One of the charter members of the Farmers’ Mutual Aid Association, who had paid in $1.50 on his pledge to pay $1.00 a month for twelve months, asked the secretary of the association what had become of it. ‘The secretary informed him ihat that was what the association was inquiring about him. ‘The association had been sending him notices of his arrears for the past 11 months without a. single response from him. 8 Now this man is interested in Dear- field and will need a loan to help him in his improvements, yet he would rather play away three times $11.00 than to put $1.00 per month in a cred- itable organization like the Farmers’ Mutual Aid Association for the pro- tection of Negro farmers. in times of Aistress.

Not for several years have the reports of business concerns been so full in detail as was true at the meet- ing of the National Negro Business league held in Philadelphia last sum- mer. Our educational institutions have greatly improved thelr equipment and many are becoming real centers of at- traction for the more ambitious young men and women who have a fixed aim in life. Fisk university, Atlanta Bap. tist college, Howard and Shaw unl- versities each have Jarge enrollments of students from many sections of the country, Hampton and ‘Tuskegee in- stitutes take the lead along trade and industrial lines and have a more diyer- sified student body. Due credit, how- ever, must be given to the smaller schools which by their efficient work make it possible for the larger schools to have a class of better prepared stu- dents as entrants. Full and uplifting indeed have been the work of our churches and the va- rious conventions and conferences | ry i Re . ii ae {dks < asa rey The minutes of some show large in- crease in membership, finance and amounts raised ‘and distributed for home and foreign missions and educa- tion. ‘'he New England Baptist Ynis- sionary convention of which the Rev. W. Bisbop Jobnson, L. L. D., is pres- ident has enlarged the scope of its work and now bas affiliated with it organizations in Washington, the tide- water section of Virginia and parts of Maryland. The A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion denominations are also rapidly advancing. ‘Che National Baptist con- vention, Dr. E. C. Morris, president, is the largest convention of the denom!- mation in the United States among members of our race. Like the making of books, there seems to be no end to the number of secret societies conducted by the race, but it must be said in Justice to a large number of them that they are doing a much needed work among us. Those who become members of such fraterni- tes as the Grand United Order of Oda Feliows, Knights of Pythias, Masons and the Order of Elks and live up to their part of the agreement are well rewarded. ‘Che amount of property owned by these organizations, coupled with the personal ald rendered to thelr members, {s one of the strongest evi- dences of the capacity of members of the race to create, maintain and exe- cute Institutions and fulfill contracts on strictly business lines. No reference or summary of the ef- forts or achievements of the Negro would be fully complete without tak- Ing Into account the part played by the women of the race. They are found in the forefront of nearly every move- ment for better home and church life. charitable organizations, clubs, mis- sionary societies, business and politi¢s. But for thelr co-operation in large numbers the bainnce would be on the debit side of some of our real achieve- ments. ‘Ax a watchman on the wall or u great standing army guarding the in- terest of the country in time of peace and ready to defend it ngainst the en- emy in time of war. the work and in- fluence of the race press have been moxt effective and farrenching. At no tie In the history of the race since freedom hus there been such united ef- fort on the part of the majority of our publishers to voice their appreciation of every good movement of the white people in defense of justice and fair plas for our people ns Amertenn citi senM. i .

Unless an agent has a letter from our office authorizing him to sell for the agency, signed by O. T. Jackson and Miss Eugenia C. Colter, Deputy, they are frauds. The safest way to procure land in Dearfield is to get in direct communication with the office, 2561 Washington street, Denver, Colo. As there are a limited number of lots and tracts to be sold on such reasonable terms there will be no necessity for a large number of agents. There will be no lots or tracts sold for speculation. The object of the State Land Board in selling state land is to establish a new community and get people upon the land to improve it and settle the state with prosperous citizens. The State Land Department is the richest department of state, having more than $3,000,000 in their treasury that can only be used for school purposes. We, as a race, have a share in that fund and should establish communities and build school houses where we can employ colored teachers to teach our children, or those of anyone else who may come into our district. A community like Dearfield established now means more to the younger generation in ten years than anyone can estimate. DEARFIELD AGENCY, 2561 Washington St., Denver, Colo. O. T. JACKSON, Agent, F. C.

Of the books dealing with great men of the race two-twenty-five years ago one must read "Men of Mark," by George Simmons; "The Afro-American Press," by I. Garland Penn; "The Underground Railroad," by William Still. These books are, to speak frankly, of rather doubtful value as literary works, but they tell of the aspiring and ambitious men of the race of that period, says Charles Alexander. Of the poets Paul Laurence Dunbar stands first. His work is that of a true genius. He created characters and presented them vividly to his readers. The dialect poems of this writer are faultless in their portrayal of plumation Negro life and language, but his regulation English verse is equally artistic and admirable. Dunbar will be fully appreciated in about 100 years, if the iconoclast does not arise and rob him of the credit due him for his poems. Alberry Whitman and James Madison Bell wrote well their lines, but what they wrote was not attuned to the popular ear, and their books were not brought out in such fashion as to reach appreciation; hence some worthy productions have lost their grip upon the hearts of the people of our generation. In the "Souls of Black Folk," by Dr. W. E. R. Du Bois, the pathetic story of just how the sensitive Negro feels is told in a series of essays. In his heart of hearts the proscription, discrimination and injustice suffered by the average American Negro sting, but so few are able to express the feeling. Dr. Alexander Cromwell in "Africa and America" and Dr. Rufus L. Perry in "The Cushite," each evinces ripe scholarship, beauty and power of expression, and were it not for his verbosity William Hanibald Thomas in his "The American Negre" would occupy a place with the writers mentioned in this paragraph. Although a number of the bishops of the Africa Methodist Episcopal church have contributed essays, articles, books and pamphlets to our literature, very few of these command respectful interest because of the lack of that element which imparts to a literary composition vital force. Bishop Benjamin T. Tanner, the father of Henry O. Tanner, the artist; Bishop L. J. Coppin and Bishop J. E. Embry each contributed books of interest to our literature, giving the theological views of men of their station.

Incorporated Leaders in Prescriptions Store No. 1 2701 WELTON ST. Business Phone Ghampa 3262 WHAT YOU MUST PAY FOR. 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 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 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 free 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.—The Advocate.

D. 1913: Whereas, Brother Thomas D. Perkins was a faithful Mason who kept his obligations of the order, cheerfully obeyed its rules and regulations and was actively interested in building up the lodge by spreading its beneficient influence and by exemplifying the spirit of Masonry when coming in contact with his brethren, and Whereas, He having bravely fought the hard, stern battle of life, surrendering to no obstacle in the way of his duty to his brethren and the care of his family and himself, except, to the relentless, but oftimes mercilful hand of death. Be it Resolved, That we treasure up as priceless gems his many manly acts and the worthy heritage that he has left into the hands of his brethren, and that we shall strive to emulate the noble example that his consistent living has left us. Be it further Resolved, That these resolutions become a part of our official minutes, and a copy be sent to the bereft family, and also be published in the Denver Star. S. J. SMITHEA, Chairman.
