Number 22 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 24, 1914 FIVE CENTS A COPY. THE GUARDIAN'S PLATFORM. Maintant Boston Paper to Continue Agitation Against Race Segregation. The Boston Guardian's anti-segregation platform for 1914 reads as follows: With separate schools, railroad cars, waiting rooms, street cars in the south; with exclusion of colored people from public parks and libraries in the south; with exclusion of colored people from inns, restrooms, and public baths in the south; with laws for forbidding the coeducation of white and colored in private and church schools in southern states; with a Florida law forbidding white persons from teaching colored children in private schools, laws as far north as Baltimore separating colored and white persons as to the streets they live on, with such laws applying to colored students as to the for the over ten millions of our people to arise and demand just legal treatment, the same as is accorded to other American citizens? With laws denying persons the right to live on their own property unless the majority of people in the vicinity are of their race and color, with such a law just passed in Hyattsville, Md.; with definite federal segregation of government employees enforced and not yet undone at the national capital, with white citizens associations there publicly declaiming for segregation, which is introduced in congress for such separations under a national Democratic administration, is it not high time that colored Americans of the north set their faces against nonlegal segregation? Is it not high time that they adopted a policy of opposing separate secular institutions for colored people? Is it not their duty to demand that they be admitted into places and institutions open for the public on the same terms as others? Is it not time that they woke up and started in to abolish every colored public school in the city? Is it not time that a institution is a vital necessity colored people begin to refuse separate branches and to get along with a building that they can establish as their own? Is it not high time that all the colored people of the north got together and decided that, except for their churches, a proper number of which are now a necessity, hereafter it would be their policy, earnestly carried out, to oppose any separation of the people in the quality and absolute necessity, and then to have only such a place of their own and not one set up by white people as a department of any general line of work? For Boston is it not time we all cried shame on colored people supporting the Shaw house for colored? For Boston is it not high time that the colored people increased the press opposition to the shaw house, properly stated and run especially for colored people" and put it out of business? Is it not time, too, for the Crisis to realize the harm of helping on every separate Jimcrow Y. M. C. A. and settlement house in the north and for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People to realize the harm now of manning its committees and branches with more of separation in health in the north and to perceive that their fight against legal and federal segregation is weakened very materially by compromise upon nonlegal segregation in the north and failure to contend realistically for the mixing of the races in all institutions for public benefit? This is the Guardian's question for individuals and organizations as at the time of the coming tidal wave of extreme color segregation in these United States of America. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS TO MEET IN BEAUMONT, TEX. Largest Religious Organization of Its Kind Among Afro-Americans. Nashville, Tenn.-At a meeting of the executive board of the Sunday school congress of the national Baptist convention held here Jan. 13 Beaumont, Tex., was selected for the next annual session to be held in June. This action was taken after a careful canvass of invitations from various sections of the country, including such convention centers as Chicago, Atlantic City, N. J.; St. Louis, Kansas City, Mo.; Cincinnati, Binghamton, N. Y.; Memphis, Tenn.; Lincoln, Neb., and Beaumont, Tex. The congress is one of the most important gatherings of Sunday school people in the country. It is attended by noted Sunday school workers and prominent men and women from all parts of the United States. The next session will be an important one because of the work outlined by the committee, and it is expected that there will be at least 10,000 Sunday school workers in attendance. Secretary Henry A. Boyd, in referring to the selection of Beaumont, said that the contest had been lively since the last session, but had narrowed down to Memphis and Beaumont. The invitation of the latter was backed up by the board of trade, the chamber of commerce, the white ministers' conference of all the denominations in Beaumont and the Baptist associations and state conventions of Texas and was presented by the Rev. D. B. Gibson, one of the leading pastors and chairman of a special committee appointed to extend the invitation. The session last year was held in Muskogee, Okla., and was attended by 4,000 people, one of the features being the Sunday school parade on a Sunday afternoon, which was three miles long. The officers of the congress are: Rev. R. H. Boyd, director; C. H. Clark, chairman; Henry A. Boyd, secretary. Pen, Pencil and Brush Club Shows Original Drawings. Sketch Class of Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. Furnishes Intellectual Treat For Holiday Visitors at New Year's Reception—R. H. Lewis' Fine Record at Adelphi College. Brooklyn.—An exhibition of original drawings by the sketch class of the Pen, Pencil and Brush club was one of the chief attractions at the New Year's reception of the Carlton avenue branch of the Y. M. C. A. in this city. The club is a new organization, under the direction of R. H. Lewis, who is well known in Brooklyn, having finished his art course at Adelphi college two years ago. During his course of study at Adelphi college Mr. Lewis was awarded first prize in competitions for three consecutive years and is now devoting his time to illustrating and portrait painting at his studio in Shrooba palace, 1008 Fulton street. He exhibited several pieces of his best specimens of life drawing in portraits and figures. One of his portraits which attracted most attention was that of the late Rev. A. J. Henry, founder of the Carlton avenue branch of the Y. M. C. A. This portrait was done in crayon, life size, displaying splendid technique and depicting a very fine likeness. Another portrait which attracted attention was a life size in sanguine representing Christ, which was drawn from one of New York's most famous artists' models. Mr. Lewis showed other drawings done in different mediums, displaying superior skill and careful workmanship. He is sparing no pales to assist those of his race who possess ability and are anxious to develop their talents in various lines of art. Falstaff L. Harris of Washington exhibited some splendid ideas in pen and ink, illustrating some works of Paul Laurence Dunbar. His cover design of Dunbar's lyrics was given a great deal of attention. This design was worked up in a most striking technique and brings forth very strongly the thought that Mr. Dunbar was greatly inspired by nature. Mr. Harris also exhibited drawings from casts and still life. He is a student in the normal art course at Pratt institute and expects to return to Washington to teach in the public schools. A very interesting display in cast and still life drawing was shown in the work of Ralph Adams of Brooklyn, who is one of the most faithful attendants of the sketch class and expects some day to make illustrating his profession. Samuel Blount, also of Brooklyn, exhibited some studies from the cast and still life, showed clever ideas in caricature, and there are prospects of his becoming a successful comic artist. He is a member of the sketch class. The three last mentioned exhibitors are under twenty-one and have received only three months' instruction. The class meets every Thursday evening at the Carlton avenue branch of the Y. M. C. A., where the members draw from still life, casts and objects. They are planning to do more serious work in life drawings in the future. NORTHERN CAMPAIGN OF THE HAMPTON INSTITUTE Series of Meetings In the Interest of Famous School Begins Jan. 25. Hon. George McAenny will deliver the principal address at the Hampton institute meeting which will be held in Carnegie hall, New York, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 27. This meeting is one of a series which the Hampton (Va.) institute is conducting for the purpose of creating new interest in the education of Negro and Indian youth for more efficient service. The program will include the singing of plantation and labor songs by a well trained chorus of Hampton students, and the story of an average boy called John Henry, going from the country to Hampton institute, will be told in motion pictures. On Sunday, Jan. 25, a Hampton meeting will be held in Ethical Culture hall. Major Robert R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute and one of Hampton's best known graduates, will speak. The Hon. Job E. Hedges, Frank L. Babbott and Major Moton will speak for the music hall of the Brooklyn academy on Monday evening, Jan. 28. Hampton meetings will be held throughout New England, New York state and Pennsylvania before the series of public meetings to be held in the north is concluded. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 24, 1914 Pushing Ahead In Business Chances For Success Are Good In Evansville, Ind. UPLIFT AMONG OUR PEOPLE Field Representative of the National Negro Business League on Trip Through the Middle West Finds Many Thrifty Enterprises Conducted by Afro-Americans. By RALPH W. TYLER. Evansville, Ind.--There is no city in Indiana where the colored people are making greater progress and where the opportunities for development are better than in this city. Of the $0,000 population the colored people number 12½ per cent, and they are about as thrifty and progressive as any to be found in any city in the middle west. A conservative estimate of the capital colored men have invested in business here places the amount at $50,000 and the amount of real estate owned by the race in this city at $200,000. This indicates a per capita wealth of $250, which is surely a splendid showing for a people who are but fifty years removed from abject slavery. I spent two days in this city carefully investigating conditions, calling on the business men, visiting the schools and taking stock, as it were, of this busy Hoosier city that is rapidly approaching the 100,000 population mark. I found a splendid school system, and the corps of colored teachers is fully abreast of the times. It is a notable fact that wherever one finds a good corps of colored teachers there will also be found progress making at high tide. The thirty-two colored schoolteachers here are a big factor in race development, and in Professor Davis, head of the high school, there is no better principal anywhere. The colored man is represented in business here in the following lines: Furniture, real estate, concrete stone manufacture, theater, transfer and storage, hairdressing, hotel, barber shop, clothes cleaning and pressing, undertaking, cafe, etc. There is one noticeable characteristic in the colored business men of this city, and that is enthusiasm and hustle. In Logan Stewart, who conducts a profitable real estate business and a concrete stone manufacturing establishment, and W. A. Gains, successful undertaker and farmer, Evansville possesses two sterling and wide awake men. These two men can always be counted upon to take the initiative or enthusiastically follow in any movement looking for the betterment of the race along, any line. J. T. Roberts, who conducts the only installment furniture house conducted by a colored man in the city, is one of the very aggressive men who, starting from nothing, have built up large and profitable businesses, recently moving into his own large and commodious building. Henry Bell, who is easily the most successful transfer man in the city, whether white or black, is considered one of the wealthiest colored men in this section of Indiana. Evansville boasts of a very creditable hotel conducted by that veteran bonfire Henry Black, who at one time was a resident of Columbus, O. In the grocery business colored men are making good, for the five groceries conducted by J. F. Gibson, L. M. Moore, Henry Hart. Henry Osborne and William Cash are prosperous establishments. Evansville has four colored physicians, two attorneys and one dentist to make up its professional class, and all of these have every reason to be satisfied with their location in this city. As a rule, a native Washingtonian when he enters the professional field thinks it incumbent on him to remain in the nation's capital, where the field is overcrowded. J. H. Wilson, an old Washington boy of the '07 class at Howard university, is one exception to the rule, for he located in this city and is doing well. His law offices, as well as the dental office of Dr. W. D. Jiles, another Howard alumnus, are located in the new Pythian temple. The new Pythian temple not only is a monument to race progress, but it is a credit to the city, and its erection has served greatly to accelerate the business spirit among colored men and women of Evansville. It is a three story brick building, having two store-rooms on the ground floor, offices and auditorium on the second floor and lodge rooms occupying the top floor There is an admirable feeling existing between the white and colored citizens of Evansville and an apparent desire on the part of each to be mutually helpful. I was impressed greatly with the civic pride among the colored residents which prompted them to beautify their homes and thus increase their value. Because of the interest colored citizens take in keeping up the outward appearance of their homes they have disarmed segregationists and made abortive the segregation movement in this city. In Evansville the Local Negro Business league is a strong, uplifting factor and an influence that is encouraging not only the establishment of Negro business enterprises, but the patronizing of these enterprises by the race. It is the Business league that is putting Evansville on the business map, and its membership embraces all the bulk of representative men and women in the city. Generosity of Mme. C. J. Walker. Although she was away in the West Ladies. Mme. C. J. Walker did not for- get to make ample provision for the happiness and comfort of the innates of the Old Folks' home and the Orphans' home in Indianapolis, Ind., during the recent holidays. Mme. Walker also remembered the less fortunate in her former home. St. Louis, through the organized charitable work among her friends in St. Louis. Her example is worthy of emulation. PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Declaring its loyalty to the flag and the constitution of the United States and setting forth plans for the moral uplift of its people, the National Negro Press association has taken definite action in setting forth many plans for the betterment of the race throughout the country which will be furthered at the midwinter session, which has been called to meet Friday and Saturday, Feb. 13 and 14, in Nashville, Tenn. This splendid organization has been able to inaugurate many reforms and to help thousands of its race. It is its plan to get at the true condition of the colored people in the United States and to report and expose all crime. To assist in this it has asked all city, county and state officials to co-operate in recognizing its official card and its metal membership badge. Long steps toward the alleviation of many embarrassing conditions are already made. In making this call for a midwinter session the organization has sent forth an address to the country. The address, brief, but explicit, was authorized by the national body, which convened in Philadelphia last August. It says: In this fiftieth year since Lincoln's famous emancipation proclamation the National Negro Press association enunciates the following platform of principles for the encouragement of the colored people and the good of the American nation: We believe with the founders of this government that there are INALIENABLE RIGHTS which are the natural dower of every human being born into the world; that the permanent welfare of all human beings best advanced by these rights remaining the property of the legitimate owners. Civilization makes every man his brother's keeper (protector), but no man his brother's owner. Whenever the accident of race, nationality, position, power, color or other physical condition enables one individual, race or nation to ignore or usurp, inalienable rights of another individual, race or nation the equilibrium of civilization is disturbed and the progress of humanity interrupted. Justice can only come to man when man is just. Liberty is for all or for none. The fate of America and the Negro are inextricably bound together. The Negro race seeks no other country. We call upon our people to use all their powers to meet the ideals of civilization and the obligations of American citizenship. Race cannot be substituted for fitness as a qualification for citizenship if the land is to remain "bright with freedom's holy light." We believe not only in the separation of church and state, but that a man's inalienable right to earn his bread and milk is the privilege of his neighbor's table. Men cannot be patriotic fellow citizens without personal fellowship. Finally, we ask for our people only a square deal, a man's chance to meet civilization's demands of manhood. We think the American people should be willing to grant as a minimum of justice what Abraham Lincoln asked for the colored race—"All I ask for the Negro is that if you do not like him, let him alone. If God gave him but little that little let him enjoy." John H. Murphy, president, Baltimore; N. Barnett Dodson, chairman of the executive committee, New York; Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary, Nashville, Tennessee. HAVE PROVED THEIR WORTH Why Afro-Americans Are Justly Entitled to Full Citizenship. The Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas of Baltimore, field secretary of the board of home missions and church extension for the M. E. church, in a recent address on the facts and importance of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, made the following statements: The principal characters in this event were God, Lincoln and our then enslaved parents. Lincoln was the instrument which an all wise, farseeing Providence used to bring about the freedom of the colored people. Only white volunteers were asked for at first, and, when these had responded from the north and west and found insufficient for the task, then, and then only, was the emancipation proclamation issued so as to make it possible for the slaves to enlist on the Union side. And yet, as important and inspiring as it is to review the incidents connected with our emancipation, there are those who think we should forget the birthday of our freedom—that we should forget that it was real Negro blood that united the north and south. When the Negro was given an opportunity to take up arms for the protection of the flag he proved to be one of the bravest men that ever stood before the enemy upon a battlefield. He seemed to have been needed to help stem the tide of the continued increasing Confederate victories. One hundred and forty-one thousand brave Negroes who fell upon the battlefield did much in helping to make America what it is today. As distressing, full of sorrow and persecution as has been the history of the Jews in the world, they never lose sight of the struggles through which they have passed. Thereby they can better appreciate their position in the world at the present time. After fifty REV. DR. I. L. THOMAS. years of climbing from the pitfall of slavery the Negro has settled the fol- lowing questions: First, that naturally he is not inferior to any other race of the human family. Scientific investigation in the development of the Negro sustains the position. Second, that he can live side by side with the Anglo-Saxon and survive. No other race seemingly has been able to do so. Third, that with an equal chance in competition with others he makes his mark and has convinced the world that if the door is kept open he will not be far behind, if not ahead, of any of his competitors. Fourth, that he makes one of the best laborers in America. He gives an honest day's work and is one of the most cheerful men that you can find anywhere in the labor world. Fifth, that he is true to the flag. He has never lifted his hand against the republic. He has never smitten down any chief magistrate, but has responded freely to his country's call. It is worthy of comment that the Negro has settled the foregoing questions in spite of various discriminations which should not be expected in a Christian country—namely, discriminations in the courts of the land. In the labor field, in the public utilities, in public education, in the exercise of his right to live where he is able to secure a home and pay for it without disturbing or intruding upon the rights of his neighbor. New Department at Hampton Institute. Believing that students are best prepared to do their work in the classroom, in the shops and on the farm when they are in as good physical condition as it is possible to keep them.

PROMISED NEW DORMITORY Institution Founded Thirty-five Years Ago by the Colored Baptists of Kentucky Prospers Under the Efficient Management of W. T. Amiger—Generosity of the White People. Louisville, Ky. — State university in this city was founded thirty-four years ago by the colored Baptists of Kentucky. The school has made commendable progress from year to year until it now has buildings and grounds valued at $75,000. In order to meet the urgent demands for more room and better equipment a budget of $25,000 was authorized by the trustees some time ago for the erection of a new domestic science building. The colored Baptists of the state have raised over $7,000 of the amount authorized in the budget, and with the assistance of the white Baptists the full amount will soon be realized. The enrollment of students is about 250, forty of which are in training for the ministry and others for leadership in various lines of educational work among our people. The literary and industrial features of the school are coordinated with a view of giving students the best possible equipment for service in their chosen profession. The raising of the $18,000 to clear up the debt on the new building and the paying off of all other obligations will WILLIAM T. AMIGER, LL. D. pave the way for the erection of a much needed dormitory, the money for the erection of which has been promised. The leader in all this deserving and constructive work is William T. Amiger, president of the institution, who has the hearty co-operation of the trustees of the school and the Baptists of the state, white and colored. He is one of the ablest men of letters, character and industry among our people. He was born at Culpeper, Va., less than forty-four years ago. He received his early education in the public schools of his native home. He was not afraid of hard work and succeeded in completing the graded and high school courses at an early age. In 1895 Mr. Amiger entered Lincoln university, from which he graduated with honors in 1890, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. Three years later he graduated from the department of theology, taking the degree of bachelor of sacred theology, and in the same year the master of arts degree was conferred upon him. But so great was his thirst for knowledge and so well did he appreciate the demands of the age for thoroughly prepared leaders in whatever capacity they served that he specialized in Hebrew and Greek at Newton Theological institute. In 1908 the trustees of State university in this city were in great need of a man to succeed the lamented Dr. Charles L. Purce as president. They wanted a man who possessed not only great scholarship and character, but a man who saw far and wide, whose youth, courage and executive ability would make the institution commensurate with its name. Amiger was selected and the new building erected, improved courses of study adopted, the large faculty employed and the many successful graduates sent forth to demonstrate the wisdom of their Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL A.

THE BAR roaring laughter of the crowded house. It was at this time Big Boy tried to faint out or fall out but Referee Bob Watkins pulled him to his feet just as Hogan sent Samuels to dreamland with a terrific body blow and Posy stiffened Big Boy with a left upper cut. The finale lasted but a short time, One Round Hogan sending Posey to the floor for the count. At this time the crowd was keyed up to witness the main event. The flash light of the principals were taken, the cut of which is produced in this issue. BELL VS BROWN Knock Out Brown, who gets his puglistic name from his reputation as a Denver boy who has made good from his Contest As Staged by Keystone Club Last Thursday Night. Best Ever Offered. It must have been in the atmosphere, in the blood, in the clothes worn by the contestants and in the very gloves themselves, for never in the history of Denver have such successful fistic bouts been staged by any club, such as were produced by the Keystone club Thursday night of last week, with Syl Stewart as the aggressive promoter. No boxing fan had more exquisite pleasure in witnessing more good general deportment in any fistic bout than what was seen at Eureka hall. In every second of the going thrills of excitement came fast and the great crowd, which by the way was a good natured and gentlemanly one, had plenty of oppoutunity to show their approval of their favorite boxer. It is seldom that a club will be lucky enough to have three main events turn out the way they did Thursday night and the genial Sylvester Stewart is not only to be congratulated on his good judgment in selecting the drawing card, but is also entitled to honorable mention for the manner in which the exhibition was handled. Not a harsh word, not the slightest misunderstanding snd not a ripple of unpleasant become evident, owing to the staging of the events. SCOTTIE WILLIAMS WINS. Scottie Williams amid thundering applause entered the ring with Lowry Jackson, the one time clever boxer close behind him. Williams played with Jackson for the first two rounds feeling his way and in the latter rounds with such a fierce onslaught of quick rights and lefts to the staggering body, face and kidneys upon Lowry Jackson that Bob Watkins, the temporary referee walked into the ring and held up Scottie's hand as vic- ```markdown ``` own dogged efforts. Skilled in the art, rough, tough and ready always to exchange blows. Brown was the favorite by a slight margin. Brown put up a great fight and demonstrated beyond a doubt that he has business with some of the fast and clever men of the game. If ever a fighter had many of the earmarks of a comer, Brown certainly has. In the contest he had longer reach, was heavier and could stand unlimited punishment. He, however lacked ring generalship, scientific experiences and proper advicie in preparing for a fight. He deserves great credit and the crowd was wild over him. He can stand more punishment than two men and is strong with a terrible punch.

Kid Bell is given flattering credit by the daily newspapers all over the country for his artistic skill, cleverness, activity and sparring ability, all of which were constantly applauded Thursday night. Bell was lighter in weight than Brown, had shorter reach but hit Brown good clean licks anywhere and at any time he desired. They lacked steam. He is undeniable the greatest featherweight in the West and can take care of himself anywhere, Bell is fine. . THE FIGHT. Bell, lighter than Brown danced around trying for an opening punch; Brown lands on Bell's jaw, Bell breaking the lick with glove. Bell shows cleverness of landing two crushing right and left to body getting away without a return (applause) Brown slow, careful, studying his man makes two good punches to Bell's body. Men fight fast and furious. In the third and fourth round Brown wakes up and does some terrific infighting. Bell clinches and attempts to cut Brown's face with long jabs, hitting him at will. Fifth and sixth round was slightly Bell's, both men fall, get up shake hands and exchange terrific lefts to body. Bell tries in eighth and ninth for a knockout Brown rallied although he stood great punishment and it seemed as if he had Bell going, when the gong sounded. Bell comes up fresh, active and smiling while Brown with a determined eye for a finish on his face wawes in, taking all sorts of punishment as he closes in on Bell and gives his body several short jabs. Bell breaks away and hits Brown five times in the face without a return. Brown rallies and Bell cleverly ducked a terrific uppercut, which if landed would have sent Bell to the mat. Bell laughed and at the end they were mixing things lively where Referee John W.

"Do you know," asks the University club of Atlanta, "that the per cent of illiteracy among white children of school age has increased during the last five years in 51 counties of Georgia—more than one-third of all the counties in the state? Do you realize that Georgia is one of the most backward states in education—that our mental development is not keeping pace with our wealth?" We know and have been glad to discuss a great many things about Georgia and other Southern states—the extraordinary advances in agriculture, manufactures, banking and what-not, and the material opportunities those states now offer energetic settlers—but the question propounded by the University club is as important as all those other things. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi have almost the same number of white children of school age as Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, besides a nearly equal number of colored children of school age; but the Southern states spend less than half as much as the Northern on public schools. Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota have only 10 per cent. more white children of school age than the five Southern states, but they spend thirty-seven million dollars a year on public schools as against seventeen million dollars in the first-named states. California alone, with only a third as many white children of school age as these five Southern states, spends as much for teachers' salaries in the public schools as they do. In this important matter Southern enterprise lags.—Saturday Evening Post, Dec. 20. Contributed by Mrs. C. W. Buford in Honolulu, Hawaii. AGITATE, ORGANIZE, ACT FOR SELF-PRESERVATION. The colored people of the United States are face to face with a determined effort by certain Southern Democrats to subject them to segregation under the federal government at the national capital. They are purposely trying to put the stamp of approval of the national government on this most degrading of race discriminations to nationalize it. They seek to do this now, when the national Democratic party is in control of the executive and of both branches of the legislative branch of the federal government. Only a tremendous campaign against this will avail to defeat this nefarious purpose. The foundation and back-bone of this campaign must be the colored people themselves. They must appeal and petition and protest to the president and members of congress. They must agitate and arouse the latent sense of justice and respect for free institutions in the white people of America. They must begin to do this at once. This can be done only by a very great number of individual colored Americans acting along these lines. In addition there must be agitation and action by organizations of colored people in every or nearly every state in the Union. One has only to be at the national capital and see what is going on to be convinced of this. It is not a party fight, it is a racial fight, and partisan lines should be ignored. The danger is through the federal government and we are all citizens of it and should all exert a pressure upon the federal government, both direct and through others. We appeal to the race to realize the danger and to exert their powers as citizens at once and as never before. We can win if we will work—Guardian.

President Wilson will do a righteous act if he interdicts this discrimination against American citizens. He has spoken well for the Jews in Roumania. Will he not say a noble word for Negroes in his own country, who are under his own orders, his own protection? STAR CONDEMNS ACTION. We were amazed, yea astounded, when we were requested to print an article inserted elsewhere in this paper, and more so, we were bewildered when we saw the names of three people (whose judgment, respect and integrity we esteem most highly) signed to the notice. We can be safe in saying (and we only dare presume this from our long acquaintance with these people) that these people are mistaken or being misled. Think of the legislature according to the Negro along with others certain public rights and now think of the Negro himself laying down and saying, I won't resist; I won't complain, I'll acquiesce, that a prejudiced citizen might carry out his unjust whims and caprices and that a degrading sign, as much reflective upon his ignorance as it attempts to injure, degrade, humiliate and discourage the Negro. Don't they see if we yield this point we must yield others, and finally we will yield ourselves up for the sake of peace. The Star feels humiliated to publish that notice and did it with a silent protest. The Star stands for a manhood that means to contend with all of our might for our rights, whether we are popular or unpopular. The Negro CAN NEVER gain by GIVING UP HIS RIGHTS; only by ADDITION TO OR MULTIPLYING do we INCREASE our CHANCES. Is this laying a foundation to repeal our civil rights law or introduce another "Jim Crow" bill in the coming legislature? What right or privilege does the Paris give up? Who has any authority to speak for the 20,000 Negroes in this state? No, Mr. Paris theatre man, uncover your sign. Sooner or later you will reap what you have sown and in the meantime the Denver and Colorado Negro will bide their time with patience. Man only loses when he gives up voluntarily. Work of Professor Charles Alexander. Professor Charles Alexander of Boston, lecturer, writer and journalist, is succeeding admirably in his work in Los Angeles, Cal., where he has resided since the early part of last summer. His lectures and addresses on Paul Laurence Dunbar have done much to encourage the young men and women of the race to aim high, work hard and stick to their ideals. Mr. Alexander has lectured in twenty-six states thus far and now plans to make a tour of Texas in March, 1914. While touring in California he maintains headquarters at 1584 West Thirty-seventh street, Los Angeles. He is a thorough race man and never loses an opportunity to defend or represent to the public the achievements and aspirations of our people. He is well qualified by education and training for the work in which he is engaged. Annual Reception of Ben-Hur Lodge. The fourth annual reception and carnival of Ben-Hur lodge No. 25, Knights of Pythias, was held Thursday evening, Jan. 15, at Prospect hall, Brooklyn. It was an elaborate function, and the members of the order made a good showing. The music for the occasion was furnished by the New Amsterdam Musical association, led by J. O. Allen. Young to Edit Newport News-Star. An important change in Afro-American newspaper circles in Virginia occurred with the advent of the new year. Henry C. Young, who for the past two years has been the junior member of the Guide Publishing company in Norfolk, Va., and associate editor of the Journal and Guide, retires from this position to become general manager of the Star Printing company, publishers of the Newport News (Va.) Star. Mr. Young is a practical and experienced printer and newspaper man, having been educated and trained for this line of business. He is admirably equipped to assume his new duties, and we predict for the people of Newport News a splendid race paper under the capable management of Mr. Young. --- OBITUARY A. M.

INFLUENCE OF GOOD BOOKS impartial Estimate of the Achievements of a Group of Authors Whose Intellectual Powers Reveal the Capacity of the Race For High Ideals. Best Effort In Fiction. By CHARLES ALEXANDER. Los Angeles, Cal.-Most of the important life values are found in the books we read. Art, science, philosophy and religion are great life values in the training of the human intellect, and these are brought to us through the medium of books. The making of books is the most vital work of the race, but only men of real talent and genius are able to produce books of worth and permanent value. In literature the Negro has thus far produced but few "deep diggers." The chief glory of every race rests in its authors, and the Negro race is just entering into the larger and more glorious possibilities of literary effort. The object of literature is to impart vital lessons of life, to give pleasure, to excite interest, to banish solitude, to make attractive our future prospects and to give inspiration to worthy strivings. The person who loves books need offer neither justification nor excuse, for with the love of books in the heart one is rich indeed. It is a sort of compliment to the race that it has, so early after its emancipation from slavery, developed so many booklovers. Although the performance of some of our writers has not reached greatness, yet it must be acknowledged that some of them have produced work of genuine literary merit. Prior to the civil war and for about fifteen years immediately thereafter the literary productions of the race were largely theological and autobiographical. Very little of this literature possessed the vital spark of true authorship. There was the lack of elegance and grace of style, and hence the books produced during that period soon lost their place in the memories of men. But a considerable proportion of this literature dealt with the escape of slaves from bondage. The most thrilling and perhaps the best example of all such narratives is the autobiography of the great Frederick Douglass. This book, "Life and Times of Frederick Douglass," is fascinating in style and convincing in elucidation. It proves in its composition, when we consider the author's meager chances for acquiring knowledge, that Mr. Douglass was a singularly gifted man of unusual powers. The only book produced by an American Negro comparable with it is "Up From Slavery," by Dr. Booker T. Washington. But Dr. Washington has since produced many books dealing with a serious and practical discussion of the Negro question. In a peculiar sense his work takes first place in the list of Negro authors. Dr. Washington has enjoyed advantages of association and contact with the most distinguished people of the world, and, having a good, strong mind—a mind capable of penetrating to the very bottom of things—and, being a big souled man, he has, in simple, forceful language, set forth his views with telling effect. The best history of the Negro thus far produced is "The History of the Negro Race In America," by George W. Williams. This book is still in print by the Putnams of New York and London. It contains the story of the race in America from 1619 to 1880, treating of the race as slaves, as soldiers and as citizens, together with a preliminary consideration of the unity of the human family, a historical sketch of Africa and an account of the governments of Sierra Leone and Liberia. In the field of fiction the Negro has done his best work. The short stories of Charles W. Chesnutt measure up in literary quality to the best things done in recent years by any American writer, and the short stories of Paul Laurence Dunbar, with romping, singing, souting and dancing characters, are so clean and artistic that they appeal to the most fastidious reader. Those persons apt to be offended by trifling improprieties found in the writings of careless authors experience no shock at any time while reading the stories of Chesnutt or Dunbar. In the stories and essays of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols and Professor Kelly Miller there is seriousness from beginning to end. These authors have attained an important place in American letters. But what they have produced is no laughing matter. Dr. Washington often embellishes his narrative with a story, just to enforce a thought or illustrate a point, but neither Du Bois nor Miller ever perpetrates a joke. The pioneer writer of verse was the frail little slave girl of Boston-Phillis Whettle, who was recognized by George Washington. Since her day Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Mrs. F. N. Mossell, Miss Cornella Ray, Mrs. Victoria Earle Matthews, Mrs. Harvey Johnson, Miss Eloise Bibb, Alice Ruth Dunbar, Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, Mrs. Susie L. Shorter and a host of others have written poetry, some good, some bad and some very bad.

On November 8th this paper published on the fourth page, first column of that issue under heading, "White Man Blacks face and Imitates Dog at Annex Theatre" an article severely criticising and censuring the manager and proprietors of the Annex Theatre for the evident reflection cast upon the Negro race by giving such performances in their house and particularly the alleged statement of the manager when interrogated by a representative of this paper about the performance. The information this paper received concerning the performance and the statements of the manager afterwards that we quoted, came to us from what we supposed to be a perfectly reliable source and we printed same believing that it was to the interest of all the patrons of that house, composed as it is by a large percentage of the Negro residents in the vicinity, to discourage like attempts to humiliate and degrade the colored race, and more especially the sentiment expressed by the manager when approached upon the subject, and this paper printed what we then believed was the true version of the affair produced together with our criticism thereof. We have since become satisfied that in part at least our information was unreliable and especially that part where in the manager of the theatre is quoted as insulting the negro race by the expression of words as charged against him in our publication and we are assured by the management that our information as to that is not correct and that the statement referred to was not made by him.

The Advocate Finds That Afro-Americans Are Not the Perpetrators. Calls Are Not the Perpetrators. The Portland (Ore.) Advocate in its issue of Oct. 11, speaking of crime in the city of Portland, says editorially: "A wave of crime has struck Portland the like of which outrivals anything for downright brutality in its history. School children are being assaulted, women's money purges and rings wrenched from their hands and the victims roughly handled, and men are being beaten and robbed upon the streets and in some instances in their own homes. And the perpetrators of these outrages have not been apprehended. "The police force and the newspapers have done their very best to fasten the crimes on colored men, but after an investigation they have realized their mistake and that the deeds are the work of white men. "Even now as we go to press we learn that a white man was snatched from his automobile and robbed of valuable papers and still no clew of the bold thug. It appears that the whole police force and detective force are powerless to check the crime wave." FARMING IN SOUTH CAROLINA Success of Jonas W. Thomas, Who Has Become Wealthy. One of the most successful farmers in Marlborough county, S. C., is Jonas W. Thomas, who tilts the soil on a large plantation. He uses some fifty or more plows in the cultivation of his crops. He started twenty-two years ago with one horse on a rentage of thirty acres, for which he paid 1,400 pounds of lint cotton. Four years later he increased his stock and also bought seven acres of ground. Mr Thomas is now the owner of a twelve room dwelling house and a plantation valued at $40,000. He has thirty-nine families on his place and has received as high as $31,000 for a single crop of cotton. Mr Thomas has saved on an average $3,000 annually for over twenty years. His credit is good at the local bank in Bennettsville, S. C., from which he has borrowed and paid back as much as $23,000 in one year. Brief Account of Mme. F. E. Motin's Career.

Mr. Sylvester Stewart was warmly congratulated for pulling off that event, the public officials came up and shook his hand, the white sporting fraternity even the police officials commended him for the good conduct of the event. Mr. Stewart praised the public official especially the police officers in charge, because of the fair chance given him to demonstrate his ability to conduct a pleosant smoker given by the ever popular Keystone club. Mr. Stewart may stage Young Peter Jackson and Bob Watkins after the Ball-Brown return match! February. These high priced men will cause an increase in the admission fee, also the boxing contestants are demanding more money and for that reason the popular price will be increased a little to meet the ever growing expense. Scottie Williams will box an unknown five rounds, a battle royal of featherweights and the Bell-Brown return match is the dope for February. Mr. Stewart desires to thank the public for their loyal support and co-operation in making the event the biggest ever given. By. Claud F. Davis.

In the conrse of an able and scholar- ly address before the members and friends of the Negro Society For His- torical Research, Yonkers, N. ¥., re- cently, Dr. E. G. Granville Sutton of Sierra Leone, West Africa, spoke on the subject “The Dignity of Being a Negro.” After telling his hearers what the early Africans had contributed to civilization and religion he mentioned some useful discoveries and inventions made by Negroes and appropriated by the stronger race which have been of lasting benefit to the world. _ Among the earliest and most useful of these was the common cewing nee- dle, which he said was invented by a Spanish Negro in 1545 and was ex- posed for sale at Cheapside, in London. The inventor refused to divulge his se fret. The collapsible umbrella and the detachable or bachelors’ button are the inventions of black men. He said our Thanksgiving day orig inated in New England; that the whites there were on the point of starving to death when Negro slaves were brought there to till their fields and make their crops. ‘The timely arrival of these blacks saved them, and in celebration of the event they instituted Thanks- giving day. A Negro physician, an Af- rican, John T. Perry, effected a cure of the first case of pellagra in thls coun- try, a disease which has caused so much fear among the white people of the southern states, who laugh at the ‘ideas of white physictans regarding ft. ‘The secret of it cure and of theren- Joais 4s well known to African medical men, safd Dr. Sutton. Mr. Perry had been offeret by in terested persons in Washington $2.000 for bis formula, but he declined the offer,as too small. He wanted $2,000.- 000 and « half interest in the com pany that manufactured it. While his proposition was heing considered he ied and with him his secret. But Africans have a native school of medicine and can cure any of the so called incurable diseases. They do not divulge to white men their medical secrets, though for years white men have tried to find them out. He made interesting allusion to the Puro ,So- ciety For Men and the Bunda Society For Women and briefly sketched the objects for which they are formed. “They are,” he said, “as old as the his- tory of Africa.” “You Americans are studying eugen fes today with considerable zeal, some of ft misapplied. ‘The Africans for more than a@ thousnnd years have known all about this tmportant science. You don’t know everything in America. Af rica can still teach you much,” said Dr Sutton. ‘The speaker sala many more thing» of equal importance and Interest which it is not prudent to discuss here. The dignity of being a Negro was dem- onstrated by many tiistorical citations and proofs of the Negro’s service to efvilization and the world. The only J people in America who discredit the | Negro are the Negroes who do not | know the Negro. Gigs Artists Electrical Massage kK: gn ™ W. D. Smith Baths Ee: x. G. C.

The manager, Mr. Roderick, agreed to remove the sign at once; we promised to advise them to stay away through pulpit and press, and we, the committee, do sincerely ask the several pastors to please advise their congregations that they are not wanted at the Paris theatre, and to stay away.

During the holiday rush at the post-office our papers were delayed and many subscribers became impatient over it, but the majority understood the situation and made the allowance for it, for which we wish to thank them heartily.

INFANTRY Office of the Chaplain Camp McGrath, Bantangas, P. I. December 22, 1913 Mr. Geo. G. Ross, 1026 19th St. Denver, Colorado My Dear Ross: Looking over my note book today, I find your name among the many recorded there. The check mark shows that you are in debt to me a letter since 1910. So I am writing to you as a reminder that I am still looking for it. I try at least once a year to remember all of my old friends. Though I have no news, being too far out of touch with the throbbing world, I still think of old friends and would be delighted to hear from them occasionally. I have just completed two years of service in the Philippines this tour and have one more before me. We remain over here three years now. There have been many changes since I last met you! Our present stay over here has been very pleasant. Our health has been good, my wife and children keep well and since getting used to the climate we have really enjoyed it here. We have been on the go this tour. We have changed stations four times in the past two years. This has given us an opportunity to see much more of the islands than we otherwise would have been had we remained in one place. We have not kept up with the passing events in America. We get a limited cable service in the daily papers here, but the American papers are so long reaching us, the news is old by the time we get it. I have wondered what my friend Ross has been doing for the past two years. I would like a long letter from you, giving me the news of the people and the changes that are constantly going on. Very sincerely, W. W. E. GLADDEN, Chaplain 24th U. S. Infantry. Ruth McSpratlin, the infant daughter of Mrs. Ella Lawrence, 4451 Cherokee street, was buried Monday at Riverside. The A. M.

Whereas, the great and supreme Ruler of the Universe has in His infinite wisdom removed from our midst the father of Brother William O'Bryant; We, the members of Evergreen Chapter No. 36, O. E. S., extend our deepest sympathy to our brother in his sad hours of bereavement. God has so decreed that man to live must die; his spirits returns to the God that gave it when he rises to live again. Be it Resolved, that we commend him to a higher source of consolation than earthly friendship; be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the weekly paper and one to our bercaved brother.
