Denver Star

The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star State Historian & Natural History Society TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. Number 27 Bethel A. M. E. Church, Hutchinson, Kansas. Report Of The Committee On Freedmen To The Presbytery Of Denve. The Apostle's declaration to the Church at Rome in these word "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth' is as true today as when they were first pronounced. The unchangeable testimony of men and women who have been bruised by sin, the observation of distorted characters that have been permanently transformed from the lowest depths of wickedness and crime to the highest pinnacle of sainthood from an atmosphere of thick-felt darkness due to ignorance a condition of intelligence, the experience of belated races who have been given an opportunity provide accumulative evidences that the gospel is a dynamic first for the spiritual uplift of humanity as well as an ameliorative tonic for his physical framework. Two thousand years of human experiences, coupled with the evolution of man from a barbaric state to that which has restored in him the image of his Creator, may well prove the point of our contention. The conversion of the sinner to godly uprightness, the justification of man before God through faith, and the glorification of God Himself through the contribution of a regenerated man, may well have written under it the initials Q. E. D. "Quod Erat Demonstrandum." "For the gospel is the power of God unto salvation." The Presbyterian Church of the United States of America was not myopic in her vision when she bestowed a coveted benedition on 41-2 millions of Freedmen in the creation of the Freedom Board some 48 years ago. The design of the creation of this Bureau of the Church was chiefly for the Evangelization and Christianization of the man and woman of ebony. It was soon found out that if this New Man must become effective, if he must prove economy of human servitude, then after receiving an education of the heart his head must be disciplined and as a consequence he will become ambidexterous, thus fulfilling the original policy of Presbyterian forefathers away back on Scottish soil. The Negro Race must be classified in the category of the unthankful were he to forget that the church has been his greatest friend in every conceivable way (a) Religion (b) Education (c) Politics (d) Industry. Tis true her fitted of operation is confined to the Sunday South, but it is still truer that the effulgency of her influence like light has been scattered here, there and everywhere where the Negro is to be found in this country. To lend color to this statement let me say "The Junior Theological class of Lincoln University today is composed of eighteen men, five of whom are from the class of 1913 of the College. Of this new class six are Presbyterians, seven are Methodists, and six are members of the Baptist church and Afro-American Presbyterian. Dec. 18, 1913, the last report of this department of the Church is pregnated with the spirit of optimism for the outlook of the Race. Time will not afford us to expatiate on the splendid work our beloved Church is performing for the Negro not only in the South, but East, West and North. The second quarterly conference of Bethel A. M. E. Church of Hutchinson Kan. which has just closed, revealed the fact that the church had enjoyed by far the best three months in her history and the further fact that the report was just a little ahead of any in the state so far announced. One hundred and four members have been received in the last three months as the direct result of a great outpouring of the spirit of God in our revival just closed. The departments reported as follows: Trustees, $407.54; Stewards $275.53; Sewing circle, $2.77; Stewardess Board, $24.71; Sabbath School, $29.95; Mite missionary, $8.86; Bethel Forum, $29.68; Allen League, $3.56; Grand total $779.60. Large numbers are turned away every Sabbath on account of the church being too small to accommodate the crowds which attend. Therefore by unanimous vote of the church the trustees have been ordered to erect a thoroughly modern brick church the corner stone of which will be laid the first Sunday in May by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, D.D., of Chicago Ill. P. Permit me however to shoot a few arrows here and there to enable you to have a succinct, yet comprehensive idea of the work. There are 583 workers on the field in the South, ministering to 26,132 communicants housed in 405 Churches and Missions. There are 241 ministers, 373 Sunday Schools, with 22,506 scholars, 136 day schools with 16,427 pupils. Rev. H. Franklin Bray, D. D. Special attention of Presbytery is directed to the following items of more than passing interest; (a) The Farm Homes Experiment near Keysville, Ga., in connection with Boggs Memorial Academy under the supervision of the Rev. J. L. Phelps, the colored minister, who is bringing things to pass in an unusual way. The farmers are taking advantage of he opportunity afforded them to buy the farms and homes. (b) Harbinson Agricultural College recently removed from Abbeville to Irmo, S.C., has come into possession of some 762 acres of land contiguous to the college for farm purposes which could be sold to desirable colored people on easy payments. The Sabbath school enrollment has grown from 48 to 137 with an average attendance of 101. Presiding Elder J.S. Payne said at the close of the conference session that this is the largest school in the District and that the Sabbath School and every department of the church had more money in the treasury than any church in the district. (c) Biddle University with its four schools, Normal and Preparatory, Arts and Sciences, Theological and Industrial, the largest of the Board's single holdings at Charlotte, N. C., the headquarters of Scotch-Irish Presbyterianism, has had improvements during the year to the value of $4,000. Among such improvements are the installing of an Electric Plant and the equipment with proper machinery of the Mechanical and Industrial Building. The financial system instituted by Dr Bray has completely revolutionized things financially so that a good sum is kept in the bank at all times from which every obligation is met. The revival just closed cost the church $55.75 and was raised without a single public collection. This is a result of our improved financial system. Dr. H. Franklin Bray is regarded as being one of the best pastors in the connection (d) 73 acres of land at Blackville, S. C., have been added to the Board's holdings from the estate of the late Mr. O Emerson ot Titesville, Pa. The old school to which Mr. Emerson yearly contributed 1,200 for its support during his life time has been renamed "The Emerson Industrial Institute." (e) At Rogersville, Tenn., 5 acres adjoining the Memorial College, has been secured through the generosity of the widow of Dr. Swift, the man in whose honor the school is named as well as the president of the school, Dr. Franklin (f) The Rev. J. J. Wilson, of Catawba Presbytery, has proven a most successful evangelist in the two Synods of Catawba Yours for Christ and the Church H.B.OWENS H. D. OWENS. Secretary of Official Board On Freedmen of Denve. Church at Rome in these of Christ for it is the one that believeth' is pronounced. The unmen who have been sorted characters that from the lowest depths of pinnacle of sainthood less due to ignorance experience of belated unity provide accumul- dynamic first for the and Atlantic that the Board has appointed another Field Evangelist for other Synods of the South. (g) Nor is this all, by direction of the last General Assembly a trinity of agencies of the Church namely the Boards of Home and Foreign Missions with the Freedmen Board has been organized into what is called the Presbyterian Department of Missionary Education with headquarters at 156 Fifth Ave., New Rork City, the object of which is to systematise and stimulate Missionary education among the churches. (h) The Synod of Texas recommended that the offertory from all the Texas Churches be devoted especially to the interests of Mary Allen Seminary at Crocket, Tex., for the rebuilding of McMillan Hall, that was recently destroyed by fire. (i) In a similar manner the Synod of Missouri recommended that all the churches of Berea Church of St, Louis, Mo., the only colored Presbyterian church of that State under the care of the Board. Brethern the time is ripe for the Great Presbyterian church with its marvelous wealth and splendid machinery to give greater concern to the moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of the black man as never before. To give him an opportunity to hear the gospel dyed in rigid Calvinism all over this fair country East, West, North and South. Hundreds and thousands of colored Presbyterians from the South are lost yearly to the church of their faith as they migrate to geographical regions, where there is not a single colored Presbyterian church. No wonder Rev. Byrd, a colored Presbyter of Rochester Presbytery through his Presbytery overtured the last General Assembly on this point and the Presbytery of Lincolnseeing the psychological moment to be here has petitioned the church on behalf the black man. We cite you to overtures 121 and 122 on page 46 of the Minutes of the General Assembly ot 1913. Overture No. 121 from tee Presbytery of Rochester, concerning aid for colored peo- [Name] ple in the North and West, pointing out the long existing anc now rapidly increasing need for spiritual ministration among the colored people of the North and West, also making petition, through the General Assembly, that the Board of Home Missions definitely extend its work among such people, in the territory, where the Board of Missions for Freedmen is not permitted by its Charter to labor. Overture No. 122 from the Presbytery of Lincoln, relating to aid for colored people in the north, asking the Assembly "to call the attention of the Board of Home Missions to the need of appointing a colored minister as a Field Secretary, to look after the colored Presbpierians in our large Northern cities, and save these people to our church." Your committee is pleased to report teat the Board closed the last fiscal year with a respectable sum in the treasury, after meeting all obligations. Receipts from the churches, Y. P. Societies, Sabbath Schools, Woman Societies, Legacies interest on invested funds and miscellaneous soures amounted to $233,729.58, being a decrease of $21,688.58 as compared with receipts for 1911-1912. The colored people raised for all purposes on the field $149,677.05 being an increase of $659 more than the year before. On close investigation your committee finds the 39 churches of Denver Presbytery, including the various auxiliaries contribute in the aggregate to this most worthy cause of the church, the pitiful sum of $763.40, being an average of $19.57 1-2 cents. A minority of the churches did not contribute a single cent. And all those that made ah offering did not honor the deliverance of the General Assembly in contributing their full quota. Your committee recommends that Pastor and Sessions of Denver Presbytery give the Freedmen claim its logical place in their annual budget. That an educational campaign be entered into in every church, so that every member canvass may favorably affect our contributions to this particular Board; That the Presbytery take no action on the overture from the Presbytery of Cincinnati to the next General Assembly for change of name from the "Freedmen Board" to the "Board of Missions for Negroes, U. S. A. That the Presbytery place its seal of approval on the overture to the General Assembly for the appointing of Colored Field Secretaries in the North, East and West for the purpose of saving colored Presbyterians to the Church of their faith by providing them church homes, who will otherwise be lost to the Church, because of the scarcity of colored Presbyterian churches in these geographical zones. All of which is respectfully submitted, REV. J. A. THOMAS-HAZELL REV. A. A. FONKEN ELDER: POLLITZ FIVE CENTS A COPY. CLASS ORATOR AT HARVARD How Alexander Jackson Won His Spurs at Noted University. Alexander L. Jackson, class orator at Harvard university, was born in Englewood, N. J., March 1, 1891, the son of hard working parents. His father died a few years ago; his mother still lives in Englewood, where she is self supporting and much respected. As a youngster Alexander did anything he could to earn money. He has sold newspapers, worked as a chauffeur and as a store clerk, tended furnaces, waited on table, tutored and tried his hands at many kinds of labor. Young Jackson's school record is one of steady progress. He was graduated from Lincoln Grammar school, Englewood, in 1905, being the valedictorian of his class. He attended Englewood high school, 1905 to 1907, and was on the football team. He entered Phillips Andover academy in 1907. He worked his way through that institution, ran on the track team, won a three years' scholarship and was graduated in 1910, eleventh in scholarship in a class of 135 and was class orator. He entered Harvard in 1910, receiving the Price Greenleaf scholarship. He was a member of the freshman track team and varsity track team hurdler for three years and has won the varsity letter five times. His latest honor was his election as orator of the class of 1914. Speaking of his purpose in the future, Mr. Jackson says; "I intend to devote my life to the education of my race. I have specialized in education, English, economics and German with that end in view. I am also much interested in sociology and settlement work. I believe that the uplift of the colored man, like that of any one else, must come through education. As a boy I was impressed with that fact. I owe my earliest inspirations to Miss Lillian F. Hoover of Liberty school, Englewood, and I will never forget her kindly interest in me when I was her pupil." GEORGE R. CRAWFORD DIES. Prominent Business Man and Well Known Citizen Buried With Honors. George R. Crawford, who died recently at his home in Boston, was a native of Lynchburg, Va. He was widely known and highly esteemed by his fellow citizens. His active career as a business man and useful citizen extended over a period of more than thirty years. He was a caterer by profession and an active member of the Ebenezer Baptist church, a thirty-second degree Mason, a member of the New England lodge of Odd Fellows and of the Ellen A. Blair Tabernacle, Order of Love and Charity. The deceased had been ill for several months, and his demise brought sorrow to his host of friends and family. He was a brother of the famous Crawford family—James B., David E., Joshua A. and Sampson I. Crawford and Madam L. C. Parrish, the only sister. He leaves a widow, Alice A. Crawford. Funeral services were held at the Ebenezer Baptist church. Rev. C. A. Ward and M. A. N. Shaw officiated, assisted by other clergymen. All Masonic, Odd Fellow and Love and Charity rites were performed. The interment was at Woodland cemetery. Cheering Words From Bishop Greer. Bishop David H. Greer is giving splendid encouragement to the work of the eight schools in the south for Afro-Americans under the auspices of the American Church institute. In a recent speech Dr. Greer said: "I have so much confidence in the capacity of the Negro to solve his own problem and so much interest in his welfare that if I were a younger man I would give up my episcopal office and give all my years and all my time to this work of the American Church institute." The Odd Fellows Endowment Bureau this week paid off the following Endowment claims: Mrs. C. L. Powell, of Pueblo, One hundred and twenty-five dollars; J. Spraggins of Pueblo, one hundred dollars; J. H. W. Brown, of Denver, one hundred and twenty-five dollars. The Bureau of Endowment makes these payments promptly and does not have to avail itself of the ninety days allowance. Thursday night Arapahoe and Denver lodges of Odd Fellows had a joint initiation. Several canidates got acquainted with the goat and afterwards enjoyed a royal feast. | rest SE _ Pap eee Pian eres ae ee Jo ete 13S = IN ALL DENVER’S HISTORY =OoOuouo9m Zan i ae r PT Py wa The Entire Salvage Stock of Ca ears NUEL Ae doer: MA ppg ger Oe Rae gma Ie BROS. 2 : eee Sees, Will Be Placed on Sale __ 1sth Street . ‘e ‘i We assiel a AT PRICES HERETOFORE UNHEARD OF Mg hy! ff . emmy , Fea Ken $1 5 000 STOCK OF MEN’S CLOTHING, Sa ea ees ey \S\w ee, FURNISHING GOODS AND HATS rit Vs | 774 & BOUGHT «A! 20c on the DOLLAR Wy = asout 4UC On the alt =i Qty’ IN ADDITION TO THIS BIG STOCK WE WILL OFFER FOR SALE THE ENTIRE SMOKE AND Ren EO WATER DAMAGED HAT STOCK OF Bet Q’ ’ “Which Adjoined the ct O’BRIEN’S HAT STORE 222° ‘Everything is to be sold at 10c 20c and 30c' on the dollar---Sale continues Saturday Prepare yourself for bargains - the greatest you've ever seen~ Bargains that will set the town aflame with buying enthusiasm.

A great deal has been said about the Jones amendment to the Agricultural bill, which was under discussion in the Senate. As we gather the facts, a bill appropriating money for the agricultural schools was under discussion in the Senate. Hoke Smith of Georgia was backing the measure and urging that white schools alone should be the beneficiaries of the money, when Senator Jones came forward with an amendment which provided that a just proportion of the money should be given to colored schools. The amendment was lost, but it forced the Senate to modify the Hoke Smith measure so that it remained clear that the fund would be properly administered. Senator Jones did nobly and defended the Negro admirably—well, when not a single word of the "flattering praise for the Negro" that both Senators Thomas and Shafroth were wont to give the Negroes at election time, could be heard in defense of the Negro, who was simply trying to share in what rightfully belongs to him. Did Senators Shafroth and Thomas represent or misrepresent the Negro by their silence? Have our votes lost their significance and power? Was it because Hoke Smith and our Senators were Democratic that they permitted such a flagrant injustice to the Negro to be done? What will our representatives do? "Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungered and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick and in prison and ye visited me not." Shall we continue men in office who fall, refuse or neglect to speak where and when we cannot? This question can be answered this fall. "But in preventing the adoption of the Jones amendment and in all other matters affecting the Negro, Elder Smith has a peculiar function to perform. He was elected governor of Georgia after a campaign upon a platform demanding the political effacement of the Negro. He is the recognized champion in Georgia of those who, in their zeal for the accomplishment of this result, regard neither the laws of God nor man. Elder Smith's politics therefore require him to be consistent. The pro-slavery church in which he is an elder forces him to be consistent. The elder, with his fellow politicians and his church brethren who had united to rob the black man of his ballot, and of his just share in the general taxation as applied to schools, public parks and public libraries, now unite to rob him of his rightful participation in the benefits of this federal appropriation, and would even dishonor a draft upon that bank balance accumulated for Elder Smith and his people from 250 years of unrequited toll, a balance which in all justice and equity should be used for the education of the black children of the South, and which if so used would assure them first class schools for a hundred years to come."

There has been enough done by those who have been there for three years to, prove the possibilities of the soil if the settlers do their duty toward it. Every man and woman in Deerfield is on his and her own responsibility, and the degree of success attained depends wholly on the effort put forth.

We now have prospects for a very successful season so let's get busy. Deerfield is the coming community for colored people in Colorado. After ten years of hard struggle we have gotten the colony on a firm footing, and many who had an opportunity to settle on land some time ago are now sorry that they did not take advantage of the opportunity.

Pastor of a Chicago Church Condemns Attitude of Carnage Officials Attitude of Cemetery Officials. Chicago.—"How deep underground does the color line reach?" That is the question which Jenkin Lloyd Jones, pastor of All Souls' church and head resident of Abraham Lincoln Center, in this city, has propounded to the officials of Oakwoods cemetery in a recent letter. The query was the result of Mr. Jones' perusal of a folder mailed to him from the offices of the cemetery and containing a recital of its advantages as a place of last rest for Chicagoans. Near the end was a paragraph which set forth that the association did not desire among its patrons those whose skins are other than white, and its effect on the man who heads an institution named for the president who freed the slaves was immediate. He at once dispatched this letter: Mr. Fred M. Farwell, President, Oak-wood Cemetery, Association: Dear Sir—Your very attractive announcement of the cemetery, with pretty pictures, duly received, for which accept my thanks. It is a beautiful place and the sadness of many visits has often been ameliorated by its beauty, but I was astounded and pained beyond telling by reading this sentence in your announcement: "Chapel, vaults and crematorium for the exclusive use of people of the Caucasian race." Heaven save the mark! Can class prejudice and racial conceit go to the point how deep underground does the color line reach? It be expected that St. Peter has also provided for the convenience of the "Caucasians" a rear gate entrance into kingdom come for the benefit of the colored people? Seriously, I am pained at the manifestation of what seems to me an insult to the Christianity we profess and the trust in God and belief in brotherhood that is inscribed or implied in a thousand monuments within your inclusion. Am I to understand that Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, the Hindu poet who has just received the Nobel prize for the enlightening work of women were they to be presented at your gates, would be denied the final courtesies which belong to the humblest and most despised and wickeded of the race? It is not for me to decide where my bones may crumble, but if it were for me to choose I would not care to have them under the ground from which are excluded many brave and dear friends of mine. Your ground is sacred as the resting place of hundreds of men and women who bravely and willingly died for the establishment of the body, the lines and the sanctities of the human soul, whether incased in skins black, white, yellow or half tints. Very respectfully yours. JENKIN LLOYD JONES. FOUNDER'S DAY OBSERVED AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Rabbi Stephen S. Wise Lauds Work of General S. C. Armstrong. Hampton, Va.—Dr. Stephen S. Wise, the distinguished rabbi of the Free synagogue, New York city, and champion of public righteousness, delivered at Hampton institute on Sunday, Feb. 1, a most eloquent address in commemoration of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded the Hampton school in 1868. Dr. Wise showed clearly that General Armstrong was a "statesman-educator of a democracy," "statesman-philanthropist," "statesman-visionary and idealist"—a man of radiant personality and a man who walked with God. "I have often thought," said Dr. Wise. "that no man in modern times could be more fitly likened to the great leader of my people than Samuel Chapman Armstrong. Moses was first librator and emancipator, and he rested his eternal faith upon the word of God." General Armstrong fought in the war and helped to emancipate the Negroos. General Armstrong was not content, however, merely to lead forth another race from bondage. He set out upon the great life task of helping them to self mastery, self conquest and self redemption. Dr. Wise showed that the greatest spring of character and achievement in the life of Mr. Armstrong was in the home in which he was born—the home of high enterprise and missionary endeavor. Dr. Wise made a strong plea for the colored people to go out from Hampton and magnify their own homes. He declared emphatically that houses, land, farm implements, money and position are as nothing beside the home. General Armstrong was not only prepared to face difficulties, but he had the statesman's vision which moved him to seek out and search out the hard and difficult places as well as accept them, not as obstacles and hindrances, but as spurs, as stimul.

EQUAL JUSTICE DEMANDED. Striking Views on a Measure That Provides a Fund For Agricultural Colleges Among White People, but Makes No Provision For Similar Schools Among Afro-Americans. New York.-The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held a special public meeting in Cooper Union on Thursday evening, Jan. 29, to protest against the Smith-Lever bill now pending in the United States senate. The object of the measure is to provide a fund for agricultural colleges in the south among white people, but makes no provision for similar schools among the colored people. The meeting was largely attended by both white and colored people and was enthusingastic from the start. Ex-Congressman William S. Bennet presided. The speakers were Miss Lillian D. Wald, Oswald Garrison Villard and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. In his introductory remarks the Hon. Mr. Bennet said in part: "The supine indifference of the people, especially in the northern states, to the cruel injustice of the situation is precisely similar to the attitude of mind of the ancestors and predecessors of the same people in the fifties. We are worse than the 'Cotton Whigs,' The Cotton Whig simply closed his eyes to a deplorable situation and wanted everything left in statu quo, so that he could make money. To do the Cotton Whigs justice, they realized that the abolition of slavery would be a JOHN H. BURKE HON. WILLIAM S. BENNET. difficult procedure, and therefore their attitude was not entirely selfish. Ours is. We are denying justice to an aspiring and rising people simply because their rising costs us some personal inconvenience. We are proving ourselves hypocrites. "For years we have urged the Negro to improve and have assured him that as he did so he could take the position in organized society which his training warranted. He has acted upon the faith of our promise, and now that he is acquiring education, culture and property we are forgetting everything that we have said to him and attempting to segregate him, not any more because he lacks the requisite education, cultivation and means, but for the naked reason that he is a Negro. "In the south we are denying him as a citizen the rights which the constitution guaranteed, and in the north by acquiescing we are consenting to the monstrous doctrine that for the purpose of being counted for representation in congress and in the electoral college the Negro is a, man, a citizen and a brother, while for all other purposes he is a mere beast of burden. We forget one unshaken truth. Nation in all history which has suffered injustice to prevail, which has continued hypocrisy, which has been false to its own professions, but has lost in failure and in suffering—paid in the end to the uttermost farthing for such injustice and hypocrisy." "This question of segregation looms up in my mind as of mountainous significance. It involves an eternal principle, the principle of defying the human being which was proclaimed as the cornerstone of our national edifice and reiterated after the experience of eighty-nine years by the best American of them all at the close of the civil war. However helpless the nation collectively may be because of the prejudice and injustice among the individuals who constitute the nation, it commits the country to a standard when it acts collectively. The attempted segregation at Washington and the immediate, widespread effect of it on the country at large, especially the south, are too important to let pass without letting the world know the judgment of social thinkers upon it. "The nation has taken a great task upon itself when it sets out to harmo nize the different elements that make up our country, that all may get together for one great purpose—free opportunity to each, that the best type may be developed. There must be confusion in the minds of many who come to us as to the difference between our high national motives and the acts of the individual. I do not want to add to the fame that has been kindled—far from it. Such contribution as I can make to this discussion is to dwell with all the emphasis within my power upon the wrong that we do ourselves when we wrong or degrade or in any way injure any of the people who are in our midst. We commit ourselves to a wrong or a degradation or an injury when we do not protest against it." Mr. Villard, chairman of the board of directors of the association, made the principal address of the evening. "This bill as it stands represents a radical step in the movement for rural discrimination against negroes in the south," he asserted. "Coming on the heels of the campaign for farm segregation, it makes it possible to deprive the Negroes of their share of federal appropriations for agricultural education by allowing southern legislatures to give the entire amount to white colleges. Members of the committee which framed the bill and of the house and senate," he said. "have admitted that this fact was taken into consideration and that the colored colleges would doubtless get little of the money. The only bill under which they have benefited was that of 1890, which provided for equitable division of the funds as does the Jones amendment to the Smith-Lever bill, for which the association is fighting now." Mr. Villard characterized the bill as one of the most vicious that have in a long time brought before the federal government the issue of ratifying a policy of race discrimination. Mr. Villard continued: "Now, I want to say a few words to you about the extraordinary position in which the Democratic party finds itself today, with its president preaching a 'new freedom' and a number of reactionary senators, congressmen and cabinet officers urging a new slavery. For the violent anti-Negro southern senators—it is to them I want to pay my respects tonight—are of the most reactionary kind. There is no more amazing spectacle in our public life than the eagerness with which they mouth the now familiar slogan that 'the people shall rule'; that special privilege must cease; that we must have direct rule by the people; that the bosses must go; that Wall street must be put in its proper place and the alliance between big business and politics cease. "There are no bosses today comparable to them; there are none others elected to office who so clearly represent only a minority of the adults within their election districts or states; there are none others the country over as determined that all the people shall not rule, but only a fraction thereof. They are today before God and the nation the chief apostles of reaction—the Vardamans, Tillmans, Hoke Smiths and all the rest of the Negro baiting crowd who have risen to eminence on the back of the Negro, defaming and oppressing him as they went. "Then, when they fail to rise, you cheerfully assert that this proves the Negro incapable of advancing and half brother to an ox. You deprive the Negro child of all schooling, as 5,000 are deprived in Atlanta, turn him adrift to roam in slum streets, and then if he grows up an animal you say the responsibility is his; that that proves him a beast and his race inherently criminal. Never was there a more brazen assertion that a people cannot rise in the scale of civilization and a more determined effort to prevent their rising. "But I have another indictment for these men. I claim that they misrepresent the heart and conscience and brains of the true south, the south of chivalry and fair play—a real south that has lain dormant, but is beginning now to stir. It is not for nothing that we have a Breckinridge of Kentucky foremost among our workers in the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. It is of no little importance that our protest against the segregation of the races in Washington was upheld to the letter by another Breckinridge in his newspaper in Kentucky. It is of the utmost significance that the papers by southern men read before the southern sociological conference last spring and published under the title of 'The Human Way' voice the same sentiments to be heard at our National Association For the Advancement of Colored People meetings—for instance, denunciation of the jimcrow car and a demand for the ballot for the worthy black man. "It meant much when a prominent southern educator came to our annual meeting in New York last year and declared that what the Negro needed in the south was not less but more social equality, and a proposal for a national race commission to study the problem, which we laid before the president last May, was conceived by a Mississippi, now a resident of Texas. These are the men, we believe, who represent the quickening conscience of the new south which the anti-Negro senators and congressmen utterly misrepresent." Virginians to Organize in Newark, N.J. A movement has been started in Newark, N.J., to organize a mutual benefit society among resident Virginians. The movement was instigated by members of the society of the Sons of Virginia, an incorporated institution in Brooklyn, Messrs. Allen W. Sydnor and John S. Pinkman of Newark have been requested by the Brooklyn organisation to take charge of the work in Newark. bout for this season and he feels justly proud over his success in every point, because he has produced what nobody else has done, in all of the smokers staged, not a single fight, an unpleasant word, rowdy or boisterous conduct was witnessed and at each event from 100 to 200 ladies were present and about the same number of white men. These events filled a niche in the lives of the clubmen and their followers. Mr. Stewart desires to most ardently thank the police department and the higher officials who gave him the opportunity to demonstrate his ability as a promoter, as well as all the loyal, enthusiastic men and women friends who stuck to him and his events, making them repeated successes. Thus the curtain rings down on these events for a while. By Claude F. Davis FERN HALL 2711 WELTON STREET FOR RENT for all occasions reasonable.

Institution Situated In the Heart of a Densely Populated Section of Mississippi Is Meeting the Needs of the Masses In a Practical Way Through Extension Work. Jackson, Miss.-Of the 10,000,000 colored people in the United States 1,075,000 are in the state of Mississippi. The significance of this fact is hard to appreciate until one travels over the state getting well out from the towns and railroads. Jackson college, situated near the geographical center of this state, is working along lines and devising plans primarily to meet the needs of this people. These efforts are not necessarily heralded abroad, but they are, nevertheless, deeply laid plans and will mature. In the first place the college authorities realize that the larger life of this people cannot be touched directly by it; that it must be the work of the hundreds of boys and girls who go from this school out among the masses. While it is a missionary school, it feels AVER HALL, JACKSON COLLEGE. that by no means is it sufficient now to graduate boys and girls with a mere sense of their obligations. Added to this there should be developed a certain leadership power based upon personal initiative and actual experience. To the end that this may be acquired students at the college are encouraged in the formation of organizations which they control, and various enterprises to be handled by them. In the way of making headway at teaching a night school is operated at the college which affords opportunity for men and boys of the city who must work in the day. This school is conducted by students, and so far with marked success. The college community has also organized a self supporting kindergarten to which the advanced students have access for inspection and practice work. In addition to the usual literary and debating student organizations, a Young Men's Christian association carries on an extension work in the neighborhood by furnishing teachers to the various Sunday schools. Here actual work of the leader and teacher is had. This organization also maintains a room for amusement of its members looking to the needs of the social life. The physical exercises and athletics for boys and girls are directly under the management of student organizations. The planning for and financing of these various games call for the exercise of executive and business ability. Football, baseball, basketball and lawn tennis are all handled in this way. These are only a few of the ways in which the student is given an opportunity to develop along some line into an individual. If he is to be a leader there is no very good reason why he should not develop signs in his college community. The college authorities feel that the success attending these efforts thus far warrants not only their continuance, but material enlargement. Residence Phone York 2079 PERSISTENCE IN BUSINESS WINS Review of Race Thrift In Kansas City, Mo. WORK OF BUSINESS LEAGUE Interesting Account of the Progress Which Afro-Americans Are Making In New Western Metropolis Against Great Odds—Success Due to the United Efforts of the People. By RALPH W. TYLER. Kansas City, Mo.—This city's fame throughout the self satisfied east rests apparently upon its stockyards, its abattoirs and its beef barons, and yet no city in the world, not even Paris, can boast of so beautiful and extensive a system of boulevards or more handsome residences, many of which are palaces that will rival the homes of New York millionaires which line Riverside drive. The colored people throughout the country have just as erroneous an idea of Kansas City's colored population, just as faint a conception or knowledge of the hustle and progress of the race in this city. If you want the very best evidence of race progress, of race loyalty and cooperation it is to be found in this city. There is an air of hustle among colored men and women rarely seen, and an evidence of business thrift and activity unsurpassed anywhere by our people. And withal there are culture and refinement the equal of those found in social famed Washington or at the presumed "hub of the universe"—Boston. The amount invested here by colored men and women in business enterprises is said to be $200,000, and more than $5,000,000 in real estate is in the possession of the race. This tells something of the progress made and being made by the race in this new metropolis of the west. There are thirty-two churches, ninety-one schoolteachers and twelve modern school buildings to conserve the educational desires of the race. Thirty physicians, four dentists, eight lawyers and six or ten pharmacists, with the ministers and teachers, form a professional coterie the equal of the same number of whites here or elsewhere. The race is represented actively in thirty-six different lines of business, and in every line success is being recorded, and the race unity prevailing assures continuation of this success. In my visit here I have been impressed with the unusual enthusiasm and confidence in the ability of the people to succeed against great odds. One reason assigned, and a very potent one, too, for the wonderful progress being made by the race in business is that this is the home of the banner local Negro Business league in the country and that it has for its president Fortune J. Weaver, one of the most active working men I have ever met. In Kansas City he is dubbed the "live wire." As indicating the activity of the Negro Business league it may be said that, although heretofore laying claim to the largest membership and greatest activity, since November last seventy-five new members have been added. The Kansas City Sun under the able management of Editor Nelson C. Creus constitutes another very helpful aid to race progress. Even the women have become inoculated with the business spirit, and quite a number of them are engaged in conducting business establishments. Among the many men engaged in business for themselves are Dr. E. S. Lee, McCampbell & Houston. F. J. Weaver, C. A. Franklin, A. W. Harris and John H. Fairley. Eighteenth street for several blocks and the intersecting and parallel streets of the immediate vicinity present a most busy and encouraging scene, with its many colored business establishments and offices of colored professional men and the throngs of loyal race men and women who conceive it to be their bounden duty to patronize them in order to afford increased opportunities for the young men and women of the race. One of the delightful and interesting characters among the colored men of this city is Professor J. D. Bowser. Although retired from active participation in the real bustling life of the city, he is as much interested as ever in the progress of the race. I have always observed when visiting a city that in proportion to the excellence of its schools and the activity of its local business league just in that proportion was the race making educational and material progress. Kansas City's colored schools are in a very excellent condition and are doing great work under the supervision of a most efficient corps of teachers, and the Western university, just across the river, under President H. T. Kealing, is most intimately associated in the work of betterment in Kansas City. The teachers, ministers, physicians, lawyers and dentists, while co-operating enthusiastically to advance the material progress of the race, also serve to develop and maintain a charming culture which robs business of that too close application merely for the dollars and cents. There are 30,000 colored people in this city, and their high per capita wealth of $190 is the proof offered as to how well they have learned the lesson of getting something which other people want, which the wizard of Tuskegee has been so earnestly and effectively teaching.

A number of our best citizens gath- ered (notwithstanding the sudden and sharp change of weather) on Sunday afternoon, Feb, 22nd, in the regular monthly meeting of the People's Sun: day Alliance, and heard the presenta: tion of three topics on business by three of our practical business men. Mr. Cornelius Rice, of the ice & Rice ‘ice cream and confectionery establish- ment, presented a brief paper on "Con- fectionery.”” The brevity of the paper was its only fault. Mr, Collins B. Fa niel of the Alhambra cate made his maiden effort in addressing a Denver ‘audience. Mr. Faniel is evidently a better restaurant. man than speaker. But we hope that such practice as the occasion afforded will develop latent talent to appear to better advantage on future dates. ‘The real speech of the afternoon was made by Mr. Nolle R. Smith, who is now engaged in the coal, express and storage business in our city. Mr. Smith spoke from well prejared notes and took up the subject of “contract- ing” in a straightforward, businesslike manner. In his address he showed the advantages of a good training, @ prac: tical comprehension of his subject and a careful preparation for the oecasion. He gave us an insight into some of the problems of the Negra who goes out to meet open competition with all races. His speech emphasized what most of us already know, that in such an open competition, if the Negro suc: ceeds he must be not the equal but the superior of his white competitors. The Smith contracting firm DID sue- ceed. ‘The inference is plain. Denver should be proud to have this young man with his teams, his special train- ing and his practical experience, pros: pecting here for a business “strike,” and we as Negroes should gee to it that he is ‘grubstaked” until the vein of his fortune is “struck.” All of the young men who spoke are in business in the neighborhood of Five Points, and are ready to serve. Let us all join in making some of our Denver Negro business men the equal of our business men in any seetion of this country. We haye the talent and it depends on us as to whether they make good or fail. Let us all boost, not knock, and better than boosting, Nata ATACEEiGin’: ls | “Suecess is not luck, nor pull, no! a soft snap, but the longest, steadiest toughest job you ever tackled.” | Mrs, Merey Wakefleld, 1923 22nd St. has been sick for the past (wo weeks He is improving.
