The Self Improvement and Social club's annual party given Feb. 4, at Fern hall, can easily be called the most brilliant event of the season. Much credit is due Mrs. Rankford Holly as chairman and ladies of the decorating committee for the beautifying of the hall. It was decorated in the club colors, white and blue. Pennants were used profusely, together with palms and such dear cosy corners, that as one entered the hall a feeling of welcome and an atmosphere of refinement greeted you, that each was loathe to leave such a pretty party. In the receiving line were the officers of the club.
The grand march was led by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Contee; the letters S. I. & S. C. being formed during the march. Mrs. Contee, president of the club, was beautifully gowned in white crepe de chine with silk chantilly bodice and tunic jeweled with rhinestones, white lace butter-flies at the waist line from which were suspended festoons of coral beads. Diamonds and pearl ornaments. Mrs. Contee's coiffiere was also quite striking, being the first to appear in accordance with the latest Paris fashion of matching the color of the gown. Other club ladies: Mrs. Lewis Parks pink charmeuse with beaded lace over-drape; Mrs. Thomas Williams, terracotta liberty satin, Irish point lace, diamond ornaments, American Beauty roses; Mrs. Claire Smith, pale green silk draped with real lace and adorned with pink roses; Mrs. C. E.
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1914
We desire to thank you for the renomination of Judge Robert H. Terrell to the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. We are pleased over this case because Judge Terrell has filled the position acceptably for the past twelve years, having so conducted his Court as to win the practically unanimous commendation of the District bar and the unanimous recommendation of the bar committee, appointed to make suggestions as to the vacant judgeships in that court—a distinction enjoyed by no other candidate considered by that committee.
We are pleased, Mr. President, because this is the first colored appointment, not counting the selection of the craven, Patterson, which you have made, and gives evidence of what we have always believed, namely, that if left to yourself you would do full justice—not "grudging justice"—to the colored people. Up to this time, Mr. President, we have not wavered in this opinion, notwithstanding the hostility displayed toward us by certain members of your cabinet, and the apparently close advisory relation which Elder Hoke Smith, Vardaman, Tillman, and other Southern colorphobists sustain to you.
We are further pleased, Mr. President, because in this case it shows that Vardaman, the demagogue, Elder Hoke Smith, the vindictive Christian, and the other enemies of the colored people, have not induced you to treat us in that spirit of un-American, un-Christian hostility and persecution which characterizes them and which is the disreputable stock-in-trade that has brought these misrepresentatives of their States to the United States Congress.
We are still further pleased, Mr. President, and pleased most of all because this appointment, though not all that is due us by any means, convinces us that the Door of Hope has not been closed against us, even by an administration, high in whose councils are such men as Elder Hoke Smith, Vardaman, Heflin, Aswell and Tillman.
Permit us, Mr. President, in this connection, to call your attention to our petition in regard to the segregation of colored employees in government departments of Washington, a petition which a committee headed by W. Monroe Trotter presented to you last November, and upon which so far as we know, no executive action has ever been taken.
In a former letter we reminded you that in a republic questions affecting the rights of citizens should take precedence over all other questions, because they are the very foundation upon which a republic is built. We are citizens under the laws of this republic and our rights have been invaded and ruthlessly lynched in deference to a sentiment which is discreditable to any fair-minded man, to any decent political party, or to any republican government, to say nothing of its repugnance to the Christian religion which you, Elder Smith and others of your party profess to believe and practice.
As the executive head of the nation, we appealed to you to rectify these wrongs, knowing that it only needed a word from you to do so. For more than three long, weary months we have looked daily for some word from you and we regret to say, Mr. President, that we have looked in vain. During all these days we have borne with patience the humiliation of this segregation. In the Treasury Department and in the Post Office Department, these hateful practices are still in vogue, and faithful, efficient colored servants go about their work with their heads bowed in shame over the unmerited and undeserved disgrace heaped upon these defenceless employees just to satisfy some men's unholy prejudices based solely upon the accident of color.
At the last Christian holiday season when the best impulses usually dominate men, we unavailingly petitioned you to put a stop to this segregation; and now, upon the approach of another Christian festival, when all professed followers of the Master seek by fasting and prayer to purge themselves of all sins of omission, as well as commission; a festival during which we assume that you, in common with all professed followers of Him who gave us the Golden Rule, will endeavor to bring yourself in closer harmony with His divine will, we again appeal to you to correct this monstrous injustice. Respectfully,
LETTER TO SENATOR CLAPP.
Hon. Moses E. Clapp, U. S. Senate, Washington, D.C. DEAR SIR: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has heard with apprehension the announcement that the nomination by President Wilson of Robert H. Terrell as Municipal Judge of the District of Columbia is to be held up indefinitely in the Senate, if not defeated by the action of one senator who is determined that no colored man shall hold office. We submit that this pro-
MR. PRESIDENT :
cedure is most unfair under any circumstances, but particularly in this case when the fitness of the candidate is unquestioned and when the protesting senator holds his seat by reason of the disfranchisement of the majority of the adult male citizens of his state. It is bad enough to have race prejudice in high places of our government but it is worse when such hatred gains voice and power through the enforced silence and helplessness of the very persons who are made to suffer.
We protest against any senator being permitted to hold up this nomination on such grounds, and we plead for an immediate consideration of this nomination on its merits.
Respectfully yours,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE.

Advices to The New York Age from Ft. Huachuca, Ariz., where the 10th Cavalry is stationed, state that members of the "Fighting Tenth" and others are inclined to believe that Gen Pancho Villa, known as the "Conquerer on Horse." of the Constitutional Army in Mexico, is an American Negro.
General Villa seems to be looked upon by the United States Government as the one to overthrow President Huerta and the present regime in Mexico. He is just now in the limelight owing to the Benton tragedy in which Benton, a subject of Great Britain met death during a quarrel with Villa.
Villa has been postively identified by W, A. Haynes and Fred Scott of San Francisco, as George Goldsby, exsergeant major of the 10th U. S. Cavalry.
The following record of George Goldsby has been furnished by Sergt Maj. E. P. Frierson of the 10th Cavalry
George Goldsby joined 10th Cavalry from recruit depot (having enlisted at Memphis, Tenn.) October 1, 1867.

Vicksburg, Miss. — Mississippi has had its weekly revel in blood. This time the outrage occurred on Sunday, and a little town called Tunica was the scene. The lives of two Afro-Americans enjoying a pleasant evening in a quiet home were the toll, while the white man who led the mob was killed. William Beasley was entertaining friends at his home when Morris Love, claiming to be a sheriff, led a mob there and told them to "get." They refused to do so, and the mob set the house afire. Beasley and his friends ran for their lives. It was then that two of his friends were shot down in cold blood. The remainder of the party escaped; but the Illinois Central railroad company furnished a special train, and several hundred of so-called white citizens accompanied by bloodhounds are hunting down some inoffensive Afro-Americans. Later two of them were overtaken and thrown into jail, after a mob had beaten them severely.

Just a word to the farmers of Deerfield. There is a busy bunch of knockers, white and black, that always have a lot of empty advice to give a man or woman who starts out to do something of credit. Just remember that the advisor won't fence your land: neither will thunder plow your ground or lightning cultivate your crops. Use common sense, some fence posts, furrow wire, and a team of horses: your land, make a confident of your soil and the Almighty and you will put those busy, know-nothing advisors to shame. There are many good worthy people who are sorry now that the Government land is all gone adjoining Deerfield, and that they listened to the knockers. 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. Whatever the other fellow does, will not have any bearing whatever on the success you have, but you must plan for yourself and keep within your means; study your soil and crops and cultivate your land. 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.
There are only 384 lots platted in the town of Dearfield. That won't be half enough to go around. Buy a 5 acre tract adjoining the town and open an addition to the town in your own name. There are 48 lots in a 5 acre block, all laid out to conform with the town. The price of these 5 acre tracts will never be any cheaper.

VERDICT IN DAMAGE SUIT.
Pullman Company Ordered to Pay George T. Williams $2,999.99.
Under the caption, "Porter Awarded Damages," the Minneapolis (Minn.) Twin City Star in its issue of Feb. 14, pays:
The case of George T. Williams against the Pullman company for malicious prosecution was tried Friday, Monday and Tuesday last before a jury in the district court at St. Paul, resulting in a verdict in favor of Williams for $2,999.99, the amount asked for in the suit. The jury was out about 15 minutes.
The facts in the case are as follows: Williams was employed by the Pullman company as sleeping car porter, runnig between St. Paul and Seattle, and on the night of March 26, 1913, reported for duty at his car at the Union depot in St. Paul fifteen minutes late.
W. C. Williams, the night inspector for the Pullman company ordered Porter Williams off the car. Porter Williams refused to get off, and the inspector called a police officer and had Porter Williams arrested, placing a charge of "drunk and disorderly" against him. Williams was confined in jail for three days, secured the services of Attorney W. T. Francis, was tried and acquitted. He was discharged by the Pullman company and was unable to secure work in the sleeping car departments of the Great Northern Railway company or the Soo company.
After exhausting his efforts in that line and failing to secure any employment he directed his attorney W. T. Francis to bring suit against the Pullman company and secured the largest verdict ever rendered in this country for malicious prosecution. Attorney Thompson assisted the counsel for plaintiff.

His subject Sunday morning will be "Just Beyond Jericho," which will be the first of the series. Mr. Y. S. Reed will render a baritone solo. "Greatness by Great Service" will be the topic for the evening service.
Shorter was in her glory last Sabbath, both morning and evening. The attendance and spiritual tide were in keeping with the bright and beautiful day. Mrs. W. W. J. Pritchett was led to accept Christ and united with the church. Mrs. Sarah Alexander of Corsicana. Tex. joined us also.
The Allen C. E. League held a most inspiring business meeting Monday evening last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cox, 2633 Marion. Good reports were submitted from all the committees. The Lookout committee's report showed that the average attendance for the month of February was 144, a record breaker. The Free Employment Bureau, under the auspices of the Ushers' club, has given employment to 103 persons within 90 days. A considerable number of strangers to the city have been directed to good homes also. The beautiful Lilliputian wedding with childhood games, which won the heart of the large audience at Shorter Thanksgiving evening, will be repeated at our church Thursday evening, March 26th, for the benefit of the Easter rally. Mesdames Byrd, Walton and Richardson are behind it and they always spell Success.
During the weeks Mrs. O. W. Glenn is being retained at her homeb. Mrs J. A. Waldon, the assistant superintendent, has the direction of our Sunday school forces. This department is doing splendidly under her leadership.
NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH,
Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St.
David E. Over, Pastor.
Residence, 2356 Humboldt St.
One week from next Sunday, on the 15th of the month, evangelistic services will begin, for which Zion has been preparing for the past two months. These meetings will be conducted by Evangelist Dr. J. P. Howard, who is well known in our city as one of the strongest gospel preachers who ever came among us. The services will continue through the month each evening at 8 o'clock. The public is invited. Personal workers' clubs have been organized to assist Dr. Howard and the pastor in caring for the needs of the unsaved. The call is made for volunteers. Any person who desires to do personal work for Christ is urged to be present at a meeting of workers at the church Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
During the month of March cottage prayer services will be conducted in various parts of the city on the after noons of Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, beginning next Wednesday. Places will be announced from the pulpit Sunday.
The faithful will not forget that Wednesday is a day set apart for fasting and prayer. The condition of our city demands heroic sacrifice. We are calling upon the members and friends of Zion to furnish that spirit.
The attendance at the Women's Bible class is most remarkable. From 75 to 100 ladies meet at the church for study each Thursday at 2:30. Every woman is welcome. These meetings will continue through the revival.
The men meet to study the Word each Tuesday evening at $ 8 o'clock. The meetings are suspended till after the revival.
The pastor will preach at the morning service tomorrow from the subject. "The Enduring Quality of Love." The subject for the evening service is "Man of the Earth, Earthy." Every one welcome.

Last Sabbath Mr. A. C. Jackson, superintendent of Zion Baptist Sabbath school and assistant pastor of said church, preached an excellent sermon to the spiritual uplift of the audience. Tomorrow he will again occupy the pulpit. The pastor is very much indebted to all the brethren, both white and colored, who rendered such valuable services during his sickness. If our health continues to improve we hope to be able to be in the pulpit the following Sabbath.
The platform services by the officers and members every Sabbath afternoon have been met with marked success. The interest was high last Sabbath. Messrs. A. Hughes, J. D. Wiley and W. Evans representing the men, with Mesdames Lizzie Stone and Lucy Hall speaking for the women on the subject "Christian Democracy Seeking and Finding Her Own," provoked a great deal of enthusiasm. Tomorrow afternoon the following subjects will be discussed by the following named persons: "The Bible and the Individual Man," Mrs. P. Rose; "The Bible and the Home," Miss Mabel Cole; "The Bible and the Church," Miss Rosalee Gibbs; "The Bible and Public Worship," Mrs. Lida Clark.

To hear report of Committee on Home Missions and Church Extension and consider the budget submitted by
them. 3. Consider and act upon a petition from certain members of First Avenue church, asking Presbytery to take the necessary action for the dissolution of the pastoral relations.

LINCOLN AND THE SOUTH.
Views of the Great Emancipator on Constitutional State Rights.
In a speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln in Peoria, Ill., in 1854, he made some striking remarks concerning the domination of the south in congress in part as follows:
"By the constitution each state has two senators; each has a number of presidential electors equal to the whole number of its representatives and senators together. But in ascertaining the number of people for the purpose five slaves are counted as being equal to three whites. The slaves do not vote. They are only counted and so used as to swell the influence of the white people's votes."
Mr. Lincoln, in illustration of the effects of counting slaves who did not vote, compared Maine and South Carolina. Each of these states had six representatives in congress and eight presidential electors, but Maine had 581-813 white people and South Carolina had 274.57. "Maine has twice as many as South Carolina and 32.679 over. Thus each man in South Carolina is more than double of any man in Maine. This is all because South Carolina, besides her free people, has 387-964 slaves."
A similar state of affairs, Mr. Lincoln stated, existed in the other slave states, and by this counting of the slaves the south had "twenty additional representatives, being seven more than the whole majority by which they passed the Nebraska bill." Mr. Lincoln said that this inequality was caused by the constitution, which he did not propose to disregard, but he was unwilling to have any more new partners with the same degrading terms. He said, "I insist that whether I shall be a whole man or only the half of one in comparison with others is a question in which I am somewhat concerned and one which no other man can have a sacred right of deciding for me."
In 1914, fifty years after emancipation, we find even a greater disparity as to the representatives from the same southern states. In the old days it took five slaves to count for three votes for their white masters. Today the whole Negro population is counted to swell the number of white representatives and white presidential electors. The 115 senators and representatives from former slave states give the present Democratic administration control of our government.

plied: “Let the children take care of
themselves. What did my old folks
do for me? Nothing.” “Until that
class of old fogies are past beyond re

RAISING FUNDS
FOR EDUCATION
Meeting Held In Zion Ghurch,
New York.
LARGE AUDIENGE PRESENT.
Becretary jn ES Meets With
Success In Financial Campaign In
the Interest of Livingstone College.
Bishop Alexander Walters the Chief
Speaker at Lincoln Celebration.
By CLEVELAND CG. ALLEN.
_ New York.—One of the most notable
‘and impressive Lincoln day addresses
heard in this section and one which
brought forth a high tribute to the
major deed of the great emanelpator
was the Lincoln day oration of Bishop
‘Alexander Walters delivered at tle
Lincoln celebration at Mother Zion .\.
M. E. Zion church, held {1 Gomneciion
with an education rally in the interest
of the erection of a new girls’ dorin!
tory at Livingstone college.
‘Phe exercises were noteworthy in
that, besides the commemoration of
Lincoln's immortal act, it was one of
the largest of the series of educational
meetings held by the denomination in
the campaign to raise $12,500 with
which to erect a $50,000 girls’ dormi
tory at Livingstone to replace the oue
destroyed by fire. ‘The movement wis
under the auspices of the New York
conference of the Zion church, and a
large delegation of ministers of that
conference were present. Bishop J. S.
Caldwell, chairman of the general com
mittee in the ralsing of the dormitory
funds, presided.
There were both an afternoon and
evening session, and each of the’ ses-
ey

sions was well attended. In the «fter-
noon an educational sermon was
preached by Bishop G. L, Blackwell
of Philadelphia. At the conclusion of
the sermon a report from the ministers
of the conference was made, which
was continued over to the evening ses-
sion. ‘The principal session was held
in the evening, at which time some
of the most prominent of the Zion
churchmen, together with well kuown
professional and business men of this
elty, made strong and stirring ad-
‘dresses on the work of Livingstone
college and the progress the race had
‘made since freedom.
‘The address of welcome was made
by the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. W. Lrown.
Mrs. Lelia Walters read Lincoln's
Gettysburg address, and a solo was
given by Miss Mabel Diggs. Dr. W.
H, Goler, president of Livingstone col-
lege, who was scheduled to speak on
the pressing needs of the college, sent
a telegram of regret.
Bishop Caldwell presented Rev. Dr.
G, B. Mason, financial secretary of
Livingstone college, who spoke of the
college and its relation to the A. M. B.
Zion church.
Dr. Mason told what had been done
toward giving inspiration to many. of
¢he prominent men and women of the
church whom the institution had train-
ed among its students for leadership.
‘The Lincoln day address was deliver:
ed by Bishop Alexander Walters, one
of the most noted and scholarly chureb-
men of our race. ‘The address of the
bishop was one of the most Impressive
ever delivered on the occasion of A
Lincoln celebration,
In opening his address the bishor
sald that the action of Lincoln in tree
ing the slaves was justified in the in
| tellectunt development of the Negro
as was borne ont by the Intellectual
caliber of hundreds of Negro educa:
tors.
Lincoln was not born great, if to be
born great means to be born in a man
sion, surrounded at the start of Ife
with opulence, dandled on the knee of
indulgence and charmed to sleep bY
the voice of servants. If this be the
measure of greatness, then Lincolr
was not horn great. But if to be born
great is to be ushered Into the world
with embryonic qualities, elements
calculated to unfold into the making
of the stature of a complete many §
manly man, a brave God fearing man
astatesman equal to the greatest emer.
gency of a nation, then the little fellow
of destiny who made bis Initial bow te
‘the goddess of light In Hardin conmty
Ky., Feb. 12. 1809, was born great,
| If to achieve greatness {s to win thé
hearts of one’s youthful companions
one’s associates in professional life an¢
to merit the confidence and genuine
love of a nation to the extent of. re
ceiving the chiefest honors and to per-
form the mightiest work of a century
then Abraham Lincoln achieved great
ness.
While Mr. Lincoin was never a mem.
ber of any church, he was a student of
the Bible, a religious man, a believer
in God, his holy word and in Christ,
the author of Christianity. He be-
longed to that large class of men and
women who love and trust in God and
who love their fellow man and delight
to live and do for others. While he
was president he wrote the following
to the Hon. Joshua Speed: “I am prof-
‘Itably engaged in reading the Bible.
Take all of this book upon the reason
you can and the balance upon faith
and you will live and die a better
man.”
The bishop praised Lincoln as a
statesman and lawyer. Back in the
thirties this young man, clad in home-
spun, was standing in the slave mart
of New Orleans watching husbands
and wives being separated soe and
children being doomed never té again
look into the faces of their parents.
As the hammer of the auctioneer fell
this young flatboatmon, with quivering
lips, turned to his companions and
said, “If ever I get a chance to hit
that thing (slavery) I will hit it hard,
by the eternal God.”
Tn March, 1839, he had placed upon
the house journal of Illinois a formal
protest against proslavery resolutions
which he could get but one member
to sign besides himself. Long before
he was made president, in a speech at
Charleston, Ill., he said, “Yes, we will
speak for freedom and against slavery
as long as the constitution of the Unit-
ed States guarantees free speech, until
everywhere on this wide land the sun
shall shine and the rains shall fall and
the winds shall blow upon no man who
goes forth to unrequited toil.”
Others who spoke on Lincoln were
Rev. Dr, A. C. Powell and Fred B.
Moore. At the conclusion of the ad-
dresses Bishop Caldwell began the col.
lections for the dormitory fund. Dur.
ing the day over $225 was raised to-
ward the fund. Bishop Caldwell said
that since the campaign for funds for
Livingstone college started over $20,
000 had been raised.

IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN JUSTICE
Dr. E. R. Shippan Fraises Work of Lincoln.
DELIVERS GREAT SEMMON.
Pastor of First Unitarian *Church In Detroit Gives His Views on the Problem of Manhood Rights as it Relates to Afro-Americans—True Meaning of Emancipation*
BY FRANCIS H. WARREN.
Detroit, Mich.—My interest was much aroused when I read the announcement in the daily press of this city that the Rev. Dr. Eugene Rodman Shippen, pastor of the First Unitarian church. Woodward avenue and Edmund place, would preach a sermon on "The Negro, Our Brother," as a prelude to the general celebration of Lincoln's birthday, and I at once determined to hear that sermon. I was first to arrive at the church. A good sized congregation turned out to listen to this learned divine talk upon this burning subject just one month after the now famous Dr. Joel E. Spingarn addressed a mass meeting of 1,500 people at the Second Baptist church.
Shows Oneness of the Human Family.
Dr. Shippen took for his text the twenty-sixth verse of the seventeenth chapter of Acts. "He hath mude of one blood all nouns of men." He in part said:
The anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln brings to our attention the so called race problem. Lincoln wrestled with the problem that our attention is called to today. Emancipation in his time pleased with his own person and labor, freedom to go and come and move about. Emancipation today means a different freedom. It means the freedom of the Negro to enjoy all the civil rights and to receive a just administration of the law. There has been a reaction toward greater prejudice, and race prejudice is now found north as well as south. The north can nigger point its finger of shame at the south.
A young woman possessing a trace of Negro blood was employed in a large Detroit establishment for three years, giving satisfactory service, before it was learned that she possessed Negro blood, when she was immediately discharged. I shall not make further comment on the policeman who became the in its scope. The Negro has been politically disfranchised in some states. It is said that some of them will sail their votes for a drink of liquor, but this is not a Negro peculiarity. There are hundreds of white men who will do the same thing. If there is to be discrimination in permitting people to vote should an education or other like qualification, but not upon race or color in this democratic nation.
Country Should Be Rued by the People
Whites don't want to be ruled by the
blacks. Neither do the blacks want to be
ruled by the whites. We want neither
white nor black to rule. We want a rule
of all the people, as Lincoln advocated in
1865, to be unanimously the Negro faces many hardships.
Even if he has the slightest trace of Negro
blood he meets with ostracism and exclusion
from many fields of employment.
Many employers would employ Negroes,
but their workmen interpose serious objections to working with their colored
men, which is a grave wrong against
humanity.
In the face of such conditions it is no wonder that so many Negroes find their way to criminal lives. No colored man may now go through West Point or Annapolis notwithstanding there is no law against them in the state. There are at least nine great colleges north of Mason and Dixon's line, where life is made miserable for Negro students. The refined and educated Negro meets with many difficulties when traveling, and he is often denied the courtesies and accommodations due refined people, while a white man, though he be in residence, may easily welcome and accord every courtesy.
Negroes have souls as well as we. How any one can wilfully injure one with such impunity is simply inconceivable. I am not concerned with the question of social equality. That takes care of itself. Every man has the absolute and inherent right to select his own associates, and that question does not outlast the discussion. Due to the agitation of enemies of the race, for the first time discrimination is being practiced against Negroes in the governmental departments. I know from personal experience there has been no friction between the white and colored employees at the nation's capital who have worked side by side for more than a generation. President Wilson promised to allow all Negroes before his election, and those of us who admire him most expect the most from him and a faithful performance of his promise.
Make Lincoln's Ideals Effective.
The failure to give the Negro civil justice was nothing to the failure to give him legal justice. The defender of lunching is the defender of murder. The Negro suffers through no fault of his own. He is what the great God of nature has made him. They are now preparing to build a great $2,000,000 monument to Lincoln. This will be erected of marble and cement, but the truest and most lasting monument that could be erected to the memory of the greatest of Americans would be to carry into effect the simple ideals which he advocated while on earth. The Negro has proved his fitness for American citizenship, has proved his bravery and heroism by receiving seventeen Carnegie prizes for heroism during the past year. He owns a billion dollars in Hispaniola. His heroic ignorance is now 60 per cent literated. He is altogether as fit as any other class of our complex citizenry. The spirit of love is bound sooner or later to prevail. Lincoln's religion was love of God, love of man. We will do well to follow his noble example in both word and deed.
Thus twice within the space of one month have the best of Detroit's white people proved that they are one with us in a righteous desire to wipe out every vestige of race prejudice and supplant the doctrine of hate with the ethics of love and forbearance.
RACE PROGRESS IN KENTUCKY
Business League In Louisville Makes Fresh Start.
WORK FOR LARGER RESULTS
Fine Opportunity Afforded For Advancement, and There is No Excuse For Any One Being Idie Who Wants Employment—Spirit of Co-operation and Activity on the Increase.
By RALPH W. TYLER.
Louisville, Ky.-At one time Louisville was famed for its beautiful colored women and for the generous hospitality dispensed by the colored citizens generally to strangers visiting the Falls City. Beautiful colored women are as plentiful here now and hospitality is dispensed just as lavishly as when this city's fame rested most largely upon these two admirable recommendations.
Just now, however, the men of Louisville are occupied with the question, How can we accelerate our business progress? With this in view, the local Negro Business league, which had been more or less inactive, recently reorganized, electing Editor William H. Steward president, and it was the consensus of opinion that the league and the citizens need to become more active if the race is to maintain the pace set by some other cities.
In this city work is plentiful for those who seek it, and opportunities

for establishing new business and the building up of those now established are not surpassed by any city in the country. There are now 50,000 colored people in this city. They form nearly one-third of the total population, own $2,000,000 worth of real estate and have invested in business $250,000. With the money invested in real estate, business, personal property and cash in bank it is estimated that their per capita wealth is $73.85.
Some of the lines of business in which our people are engaged are Grocery stores, ice cream manufactures, insurance, drug stores, transfer and baggage, real estate, moving and packing, printing, fruit and vegetable carriage repairing, undertaking, coal yards and contracting.
There are twelve public schools, with 160 teachers, who are in every way efficient and the equal of the whites. The school buildings are in no way, as a rule, comparable to those afforded whites, and their lack of room also works a hardship. It has been pointed out that a live Negro business league here can not only work to increase the number of business establishments conducted by the race, but can interest itself in an attempt to secure better and more ample school buildings for the colored children.
Louisville's best colored people are a splendid set of men and women, and the intelligence and culture to be found among them equal those found in any other community. In many churches owned by our people one finds proof that the religious interests of the race have not been neglected. There are twenty-seven Baptist, seventeen Methodist, two Presbyterian, three Christian, one Congregational, one Episcopal, one Adventist and several missions, which bring the total number of churches up to fifty-nine. That Louisville is a good field for the colored physician is shown by the fact that there are thirty-five of them here with from fair to good practice. Twelve lawyers and four dentists are enjoying a fine practice.
I learned while here that the future of the race in Louisville along material lines depends largely upon the harmonious and active co-operation of the following men, who are really among Louisville's high types of progressive citizens. They are William H. Steward, J. B. Cooper, C. H. Bullock, T. F. Parks, Rochelle Smith, S. W. Jordan, A. D. Porter, J. H. Hathaway, A. B. Ridley, A. E. Meyzeek, P. A. Curtis, H. E. Hall, W. W. Spreadling, Guy W. Smith, T. F. Blue, E. A. Clark, Charles H. Rogers, D. L. Ferguson, W. B Mathews, David Stewart, William H. Sheppard, W. J. Walls, W. T. Amliger, W. H. Perry, J. S. Colter, C. H. Parrish, Dr. E. D. Whedbee, W. A. Brown, H. D. Beck and a few others.

THE WEEKLY NEWS
MRS. A: M. POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair.
The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them. For treatment, call on or address:

Gratitude of an Ex-slave to Former
Owner for Favors Received.
The following story from Youth's Companion is only one of many similar occurrences which took place after the freedom of the slaves. It says: $ \triangle $ wealthy slave owner of the cotton belt entered the southern army, fought bravely and brilliantly and died in one of the closing battles of the civil war. His widow was left pennilless, with large plantations incumbered with mortgages and a hundred or more emancipated slaves who had ceased to be her property.
Her business affairs were mismanaged by agents and lawyers, and she lost one plantation after another. Her health failed, and in her old age she became wholly dependent upon one of her former slaves, who was grateful to her for having given him a start after the war. Learning from experience that she could not manage her plantations successfully she had rewarded the fidelity of a small group of emancipated slaves by deeding over to them outright small farms. One man received in this way a farm of twenty-six acres with a cabin.
He prospered from the outset. He made a living out of his ground and saved every year a little money. In the course of a few years he bought another farm and doubled his resources. Other purchases followed until he was a truck farmer with considerable wealth. He did not forget his old plantation mistress in his prosperity. When she had lost all her property and there was no other friend to take care of her in her old age he rescued her from destitution. He became her most faithful friend.
Both are still living. On the first day of every month this ex-slave farmer draws a check for $100 and sends it to the aged lady whose slave he was in his boyhood. At first she was unwilling to become his pensioner, but he pressed help upon her with tears in his eyes, telling her that he would never have got on in the world if she had not generously aided him by giving him the first farm.
His bounty is now her only resource, and no millionaire in the land is happier than he is when "pay day" comes around and he can send his check to his kind hearted "old missis."
Many others whom she befriended after the war have been either improvident or ungrateful, but one at least had the energy and thrift required for making him a well to do farmer and the heart to take compassion on a friendless and unfortunate woman who had once been kind to him.
This is a true story, which illustrates the tender feeling sometimes existing between the Negro and his former master and the gratitude which good treatment may inspire even in a despised race.

THE STRUGGLES OF RACES.
Sweeping Injunction Against Unfairness of One Race to Another.
All races have been subjugated, degraded and enslaved at some time and have had to pass through an ordeal as severe as the one that the blacks have been passing through in this country for the last 300 years and more, says Henry T. Norman in "Though a I Met on the Highway." Races are much like vegetables. They grow, bloom, and go to seed, and of the many seeds of many races a new nation springs up. When a nation is once broken and scattered it never comes together again. A nation that once dies never lives again as a nation. Its fragments mingle with other races and help to make new nations.
That is just what the blacks are doing in this country today. If all the African blood there is in this country was covered with black skins there would be about 20,000,000 of black people in the United States, whereas now there are only between 7,000,000 or 8,000,000. I can point out forty persons within the limits of the city of Lynn, Mass., that have African blood in them who pass for white. And this was the redeeming quality in slavery, for it is proved by ancient history, both sacred and profane, as well as by everything that is traceable to antiquity, that the blacks were once a great nation. But now they are not a nation and never will be. The only way to raise them up from the heathenish and barbarous state into which they had sunken was to have them pass through the ordeal of slavery.
That is just what makes the American nation superior to all other nations. It opens wide its doors, or did at one time, and says to all races, "Come and be one with us; we neither fear nor hate you." The nation that is not willing to receive within its borders all those of other races and nations that are willing to come and give them all the advantages of all its institutions is nothing but a community of tyrants and cowards.
There is nothing more ignorant and disgusting than the shoddy saying in this country "that all races had better keep by themselves." Those that preach that heathenish and cowardly doctrine are they who hold prejudice against the blacks. But it does not hurt whatever, for they, though perhaps the largest in numbers, are the weakest portion of the nation. The best people—those who are headlights, pillars of truth, the real salt and power of the earth, God's own mouthpieces—have no prejudice against races.
Therefore all that is required of any man, black or white, *p*- qualifications to enter the best society on earth are contempt for pride and all vain things, a soul consecrated to God and a mind given to the contemplation of the fixed principles of truth, for it was want of these qualifications that brought all races into bondage to their own pride and lusts first and then into weakness, ignorance and barbarism. And it is the want of these same qualifications that makes many people degrade themselves with prejudice against the blacks and other races in this country.
NURSES' TRAINING SCHOOL.
Preparation Necessary For Best Service, Says Albert Howe.
"We are convinced," says Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute, "that the colored women cannot long retain a hold upon the profession of nursing without training at least equal to that enjoyed by white women. We are equally convinced that with such training they can be prepared to give as faithful and satisfactory nursing service as that of the white graduates of the northern training schools.
"It is to keep open to them a means of livelihood which they are in danger of losing that the Hampton training school for nurses was founded. In asking for means to carry on this work we feel that we have only to appeal to the common sense and love of fair play that characterizes the best people of this country."
The Hampton training school for nurses has connected with it the Dixie hospital, containing twenty-one beds, which does a needed work for the poor of the neighborhood, besides furnishing practice for the students of the school.
During the twenty-two years in which the hospital has been in operation 4.202 patients have been cared for, 138 nurses have been graduated and twenty-four nurses are now (1913-14) taking their course of training.
The graduates who have gone out and begun work as private nurses in different parts of the south are in continual demand at wages varying from $10 to $20 a week. This fact shows the need of just the work that the Hampton training school is trying to accomplish by furnishing skilled nursing service for the lower peninsula of Virginia that is at present almost entirely without such service, and by retaining in the hands of the trained colored women a profession for which, even without training, the colored women have always shown themselves especially adapted.
Anniversary of Lincoln and Douglass.
The fifth annual Lincoln-Douglass dinner and reception of the Westchester (N. Y.) Negro league was held in McCann's hall, in Yonkers, N. Y., recently. President Paul H. Bray presided. The address of welcome was delivered by the Hon. Daniel Caslin, county clerk. Assemblyman Walter W. Law's subject was "Abrahah Lincoln." Mr. John C. Dancy's subject was "Our Greatest Leader." "Frederick Douglass" was the topic discussed by the Hon. Fred W. Weeks, and the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop spoke on "The Needs of Organization."
