This award of damages and final settlement of this case brings to a close one of the most stubbornly fought accident cases in years. Mrs. Robinson, a widow-was returning to oer home and in alightingt from a State street car, she did not move as quickly as the conductor wanted her to, so he rang the bell, the car started, and she was thrown heavily to the ground. She was severely cut and bruised and was confined to her home for nine months. She at once entered suit in the circuit court in 1911. She won the case, but the company appealed it to the appellate court and to the supreme court of Illinois. Mrs. Robinson continued to fight, and, despite perjured witnesses, she finally won. Throughout the long drawn-out case she was represented by Attory Patterson of the firm of Patterson & Shaw. Mrs. Robinson is one of the best known women in Chicago. She is a member of Quinn Chapel and Rebecca Household of Ruth No. 1277. She resides with her daughter Mrs. F. Reed, 5312 Dearborn street. When visited by a Chicago Defender reporter she was happy over the settlement of the case, and declared that anyone who did not fight such a case to a satisfactory end made a great mistake.—Chicago Defender. GEN. VILLA IS A NEGRO SAYS AMSTERDAM NEWS Considering that it is as true as it is startling, hundreds who have read local papers' account of the hero of Northern Mexico, stoutly proclaim him a a courageous American of color, and former member of crack fighting regiment. In a recent issue one of our esteemed contemporaries gave to its readers and the American people in general as a matter of truth, a statement which might be considered nothing more than a confirmation of what many had formerly believed to be really true. General Pancho Villa, the astute and mightly hero of Northern Mexico, is positively claimed to be an American gentleman of color and a former officer of the United States Government's best fighting cavalry, the famous and far-famed fighting 10th, or as the paper puts it, "Villa has been postively identified by W. A. Haynes and Fred Scott of San Francisco, as George Goldsby, ex-sergeant, ex-first sergeant and ex-sergeant major of the 10th U. S. Cavalry." To this it is also added that Villa, or the now discovered Goldsby, deserted his cavalry while in the field, scouting after Indians; May 18 1879 Those who have discussed the attitude of President Wilson and his cabinet toward the situation in Mexico and the President's failure to recognize the Government of either of the Mexican generals Huerta or Villa, states bodily that they believe that Washington has all along known that both were colored men, and particularly Gen. Villa, who has a fine record as a soldier and a former member of the brave 10th cavalry. These citizens who were interviewed regarding the report also state that it is their belief that action against Mexico by the Washington administration has been slow because President Wilson knows that while their is gross discrimination against the loyal colored citizens of the States, he could by no means afford to let it leak out that the Government was hostile to Mexico because of the color of her subjects or citizens, as it could be considered by great nations of color on the Eastern and Western Hemispheres as a gross insult to them and a crime against humanity. While Gen. Villa is the head of the rebel forces in Mexico, and seems to be looked upon as the man who will overthrow Gen. Huerta, as well as the conquerer of the Mexican Constitutional Army, yet it is more than interesting LINCOLN'S EARLY DAYS STIRS MEN'S SOULS. Freedom Only Soil Where Great and Good Men Grow. The Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, according to his annual custom, celebrated the birthday of Abraham Lincoln giving a study of the continuance of Abraham Lincoln's mission in history after his death. "The emancipation proclamation," said the pastor, "only freed the slaves of disloyal owners and it went no further than the conditions of war would permit. The states remaining loyal or, the readmitted treasonable states, could still claim slaves by sanction of the National and State Constitutions. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment, together with the Civil Rights Bill, were permanently broken from off the limbs of human beings in the United States. But unshackled limbs did not make freemen. The dignity of the human soul implies a freedom to act to assume responsibility, to discharge obligations, and in a democratic state the right of suffrage.

The war for freedom was not finished at Appomattox. The colored man did valiant service with his ballot. But it is urged he was not prepared to intelligently handle the ballot. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1914 BIG CELEBRATION AT WILBERFORCE Founders' Day at Noted College Duly Observed. BISHOP SHAFFER PRESIDES. Event Marked the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Ownership and Management of the institution by the A. M. E. Church—Girls' Dormitory Named For One of School's Liberal Donors. Wilberforce, O.—Founders' day exercises at Wilberforce university the last week in February marked the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the ownership and management of the institution by the African Methodist Episcopal church. It was an event which will long be remembered by the faculty and students. Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., of Chicago, chairman of the university trustee board and presiding bishop of the third episcopal district, in which the institution is located, was one of the "All this plus to the emancipation proclamation owed a large part of its initiative and still larger part of promotional vigilance to Lyman Trumbull, Lincoln's colleague from Illinois, whose first entrance into the United States Senate was the result Abraham Lincoln's magnanimous withdrawal of his name in the interest of his friend, and then Trumbull went to the Senate the first time by a single vote. Any effort to put enmity between you and me is as idle as the wind," wrote Lawyer Lincoln to Trumbull, his colleague on the circuit. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN "It is well perhaps that January 1, 1863, the date on which the proclamation went into effect should become in the popular mind the pivotal point around which the love and gratitude, the enthusiasm and the devotion of the friends of liberty should gather. It was a dramatic event to be commemorated by annual festivals and ever deepening celebrations. But it is untrue to Lincoln's memory to overlook his great lieutenants—Sumner, Trumbull, Carl Schurz and the rest of them who did picket duty on that battle line which extended beond Appomattox. PRESIDENT SCARBOROUGH. leading spirits in the celebration. He presided and in the opening made an able address on higher education. "For after bullets and bayonets had done all they could do after the physical struggle was won, then longer, more trying and oftentimes more critical battle for freedom really begun. The war with guns was bitter and long and cruel, the sacrifice in blood was indeed costly and tragic. But this was but the prelude to the fifty years to follow not yet finished, in which the weapons are ideas and the batflegrounds, courts of jusiice, and wherever man meets—black, white, yellow or red—contending for the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in proportion to their merits. Addresses were also made by Professor H. E. Archer of Selma, Ala., president of Payne university; Bishop Joshua A. Jones, Dr. Thomas H. Jackson. Bishop B. F. Lee, Miss Halle Q. Brown. Charles Stewart. Secretary Horace Talbert and Professor W. S. Scarborough. Bishops H. M. Turner and Evans Tyre were unable to be present. Bishop Shaffer in his opening address told of the establishment of the university, the purchase of the property by Bishop Payne from the Cincinnati conference of the Methodist Episcopal church and how a Mrs. Shorter had given the first $100. Bishop Payne having only faith. He also told about the work, how the school had grown year after year and of its bright future. "It is quite the fashion, even among the descendants of those valiant leaders in the bloodless battle for justice to the enslaved, to deplore the 'amendments' and to regret the 'Civil Rights Bill,' and with patronizing concessions admit that it was a 'mistake to grant the right of suffrage to the black man before he was prepared for it,' etc. The address of Dr. Thomas H. Jackson was interesting for two reasons—first, because Dr. Jackson was a member of the first graduating class of the university in 1870 and is now connected with the Payre Theological seminary, and, second, because he had been a professor in the college many years ago. Secretary Horace Talbert furnished figures in his address, showing the collections for fifty years, and presented property owned by the institution to the value of $1,427,110.17. The collections were: From 1863 to 1876, $92,784.92; to 1884, $79,202.80; to 1895, $92,123.56; to 1905, $143,303.88; to 1910, $105,352.59; to January, 1914, $84,214.29. Men who affect logic and claim intelligence point to the dark and troublesome days of reconstruction as evidence of this mistake. I believe that the profounder statesmanship and clearer ethical vision will prove that the fathers were more nearly right than their condescending and compromisssons. Private gifts of sums of money to various interests of the school ranging from $1 to $1,000 were not reported in this amount collected. The dedication of the Emery hall dormitory for girls was also a feature of the celebration, and to President W. S. Scarborough belongs the credit for one of the finest and one of the best buildings on the campus. It has been erected under his administration as president. The ballot is menaced by mental ignorance, but more menaced by ethical torpidity, and in the long judgments of history freed men, reaching after freedom, were less a menace to law and order than free men blinded prejudices rising in armed rebellion against the democracy they professed. "The 'amendments' and the Civil Rights Bill' associated there with were ideally right and they are yet to be approaching when the last coward who will be willing to sneak to the ballot box under the mantle of a treasonable grandfather who marched in the army of treason will be dead and buried and the unholy ingenuity manifested in the State constitutions that sought to evade or defeat these constitutional amendments will remain to be enforced by the enfranchised white descendants of slave holding parents. And they will see to it that illiterate white and black will be alike denied the right of suffrage under the law. And that the competent voter, white or black by the same token, will be allowed to exercise the sacred privilege." Professor Scarborough ranks with the great scholars of the age and is a member of a number of the leading societies of the country and is also recognized by men of intellectual worth and scholarship in Europe. In this line he has been very successful in helping his race and church. It was through this connection that he was able to raise the necessary amount to erect the building after he had secured a promise from Mr. Carnegie to give $17,500 if a like amount could be raised by Mr. Scarborough. The amount was raised. Among the men who assisted in this was President Taft, who ad State historian & National History Society FIVE CENTS A COPY. dressed a meeting in Washington in interest of Willberforce university. While President Searborough was working here for funds Miss Hallie Q. Brown was working in Europe, and when she returned home she came with a promise of $13,000 for the building from Miss Emery. The Emery hall was inappropriately dedicated by Bishops C. T. Shaffer, B. F. Lee and Joshua A. Jones. Miss Brown made a strong address, and then followed the reading of a poem which had been prepared for the occasion by Mrs. B. F. Lee, wife of Bishop Lee. There was a lively time in the financial rally of the classes. A large amount of money was raised to assist in the general work of the university. THE NEW DIXIE HOSPITAL. Much Needed Institution at Hampton Had Angela Modern Equipment Has Ample Modern Equipment. Hampton, Va.-The new Dixie hospital connected with the Hampton institute in this town was recently completed at a cost of over $70,000. The building fund donation list shows that Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute was able to secure the hearty co-operation of the people of lower Virginia and of many others throughout the country. The hospital with its excellent equipment will minister to the needs of both white and colored people living in Hampton and the neighboring communities. Dr. Howe says in his report: "The new building is pleasantly situated on the shore of Hampton creek amid trees which add much to its attractiveness and comfort, and is very accessible, being on the car line, but far enough removed to insure privacy. There are four wards of ten beds each and two overflow wards, which have been finished off in the third story, to be used when necessary. There are fourteen private rooms, a diet kitchen for them and one for the wards on each floor; a finely equipped operating room, with sterilizing and dressing rooms for physicians and nurses adjoining; the necessary administration offices, dining rooms for staff and for nurses, kitchen and serving rooms, and over these, separated from the hospital by a brick wall, are twenty rooms for nurses. "Both building and equipment equal if they not surpass any hospital in the state and give opportunity for a far wider scope of usefulness in the future. The Dixie is the only public hospital on the peninsula, and many cases come to it from Cape Charles, Williamsburg, and the surrounding country. These as well as the immediate community will reap the benefits of its increased facilities. The new nurses' home will enable the training school to enlarge its number and to add to the efficiency of its graduates. "About $9,000 must still be raised to complete the payment for building and equipment. The report of the building fund shows that about $63,000 has already been given, but extras over the contract price and the cost of grading and equipment are large, and of the meager furnishings of the old Dixie little was worth transferring to the new. In looking forward to a large future the accomplishments of the past year must not be forgotten. Nearly 450 patients have been cared for, and the medical and surgical reports show with what excellent results. There have been twenty-four nurses in training. They have come largely from Virginia, but various parts of the south and west are represented, and among the number are two Indian girls. "The nurses recently had an opportunity to prove themselves in an emergency when the laundry, a frame building closely adjoining the nurses' home, was destroyed by fire. It was well after midnight when the fire was discovered, and it had gained such headway that the other buildings were in danger. Undoubtedly the flames would have spread to them had not the nurses formed a bucket brigade and kept walls and roofs wet until the Hampton fire department arrived. While they were unable to save the laundry, their prompt assistance prevented more serious damage." Financial Aid For a Southern School. The Lucy Laney league, an organization composed of graduates and former students of the Haines Normal and Industrial school in Augusta, Ga., gave a large reception at Manhattan Casino, New York city, in the interest of their alma mater Friday evening, March 13. A short drama and good music were features of the occasion. The attendance was large and the entertainment was a social and financial success, and the proceeds will go far toward assisting the trustees of the school in meeting the heavy demands of the institution.

Nickerson, ar- rived in Denver last Friday evening and made a short talk to the workers. Sunday morning he met the Sunday school and made an earnest appeal to the children to accept Christ in their youth. Quite a number came forward with tears in their eyes, signifying their desire to become Christians. At 11 a, m. he preached a strong sermon on “Bffectual Prayer” which was de livered with force, accompanied by the Holy Spirit. At 8 p. m, the evangelist launched out into the deep in a sermon on Faith which was prayerfully received by a crowded house. For four services he has turned his gospel batteries towards strengthen- ing the Christian forces. Tuesday night he held a consecration meeting, and though the weather was inclement a nice crowd was out and came to the altar and in open testimonies, accom panied with prayers, reconsecrated themselves to God to be used by Him in these meetings. At every service men and women haye united them: selves with the church, declaring their intention to quit the haunts of satan and to life a better life for God. We truly believe that the church has made no mistake in engaging El- der Nickerson to assist the pastor in conducting these meetings. A choir of 25 voices has been selected to turn ish the singing for these meetings and our song service begins at 7:30. You should not fail to hear these gospel songs that we are using. Preaching begins each evening at 8 p.m. Come to these meetings, Christians, and bring your sinner friends. SHORTER CHAPEL. Washington and Twenty-third Sts. Rev. Robert L. Pope, Pastor.

Judge Ter- rell’s career on the bench has been marked by fairness and a strict adber- ence to the law. He has given satis- faction in the most difficult cases upon which he bas had to pass sentence.

Preparation Necessary For Best Serv- ice, Says Albert Howe. “We are convinced,” says Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute, “that the colored women cannot long retain @ hold upon the profession of nursing without training at least equal to that enjoyed by white women. We are equally convinced that with such train- ing they can be prepared to give as faithful and satisfactory nursing serv- ice 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 ouly 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 hus connected with It the Dixie hospital. containing twenty-one beds. “which does 2 needed work for the poor ‘of the neighborhood, besides furnish- ng practice for the students of the school. During the twenty-two years an which the hospital bas been in opera- tion 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 con- tinual demand at wages varying from $10 to $20 4 week. This fact shows the need of just the work that the Hampton training school is trying to accomplish by furnishing skilled nurs- Ing service for the lower peninsula of Virginia that is at present almost en tirely without such service, and by re. taining in the bands of the trained colored women « profession for which. even withont training. the colored women have always shown themselves especially adapted.

In order to keep in harmony with some of the passing events of the South, there should be introduced in the South, and then in the West, a law compelling the packages scent by Negroes through Uncle Sam's mail (parcel post) to be labeled "Sent by Negroes," which in turn ought to be handled on separate cars, on separate trains, all run, operated and owned by Negroes. The mail should arrive at a Negro depot, carried to and fro by Negroes to Uncle Sam's Negro post office, there distributed and delivered by Negroes to Negroes. This is the logic of segregation. If it is unlawful for white teachers in New Orleans and South Carolina to teach and instruct Negro children, then it certainly is, and will later be so declared, unlawful for Negro and white children, men and women to breathe the same air, eat the same brand of flour, drink the same kind of water or walk upon the same street or streets at the same time. While all this hinders, hurts and humiliates the Negro, yet by this "Jim Crowism" thousands of dollars have been withdrawn from the use of white men and benefited Negro clerks in banks and mercantile and professional pursuits. When the South "Jim Crowed" the Negro, they insulted him and his manly self-respect has put it in his breast to carve out and create a new dignified existence out of the intended humiliation. "REAPING WHAT THEY SOWED." A short time ago the Star complained about the growing spirit of discrimination and Colorphobia in Denver. Champa street had been invaded, Curtis street was then inoculated and Larimer street had shown sporadic symptoms of prejudice disease. One by one these places were passed by in the most silent and object contempt by the Negroes and one by one the discriminating signs have either been taken down or covered up or destroyed. You remember the "Nigger-head bullet" coal company and its disgusting sign, and how you contemptuously ignored it. Well, it's down now. The mild stigma of the Colonial theatre has been taken down, the Paris has covered their sign over (only), and the Eighteenth street people and Larimer street Greeks who had "Colored Trade Not Wanted" have both gone out of business. The Belmont restaurant, where this sign once waved, under new management, serves everybody. The only sign up but temporarily covered is the Paris theatre, and we are praying, working and encouraging the United States theatre to cause the "For Rent" sign to hang in the lobby of the Paris. One step has been accomplished. The big broad-hearted Western American be lies in a square deal to everybody in public business. You cannot put into and success fully mix prejudice and public business; either the prejudice will control the business or the business control the prejudice. If the latter obtains, success to its operator; if the former, sooner or later death and stagnation. Whatsoever a man sows (against races or individuals in business) that shall he also reap.

The Lott-Carey Baptist foreign mission convention is having a large mission house and school erected at Brewerton, Liberia, which will most likely be ready for occupancy by the middle of July. The convention supports a number of missionaries in West Africa, the money for the same being raised in the United States. It contemplates an extension of the work and has sent appeals throughout the territory of the convention. The Rev. Calvin S. Brown of Winston-Salem, N. C., is the president of the convention. During the twenty years of the existence of the convention it has raised over $40,000 for mission work. Much of the success of this work has fallen upon the corresponding secretary, the Rev. Dr. William M. Alexander of Baltimore. He always keeps in close touch with the work of the convention and its needs. At the M. A. S. W. M. ALEXANDER, D. D. last annual session he was authorized to make a trip to Liberia to look over the field. Dr. Alexander has recently completed twenty-nine years as pastor of Sharon Baptist church. Baltimore. He founded the church, beginning with nine members. It is now one of the largest congregations in the city. He is a native of Virginia and received his education at the old Wayland seminary in Washington, where he was graduated as valedictorian of his class. He has been active in civic movements in Maryland for a number of years. Dr Alexander headed the Maryland Suffrage league in three successful fights against disfranchisement. He is the editor of the Maryland Voice, the organ of the Lott-Craey Baptist convention and the baptists of Maryland. He was honored by Shaw university in Raleigh, N. C., with the degree of doctor of divinity some years ago. Florida Baptists to Meet March 18.

Justice as Remedy For Color Prejudice Judge Marcus Cavanagh of the superior court in Chicago advocates the appointment of a national commission to combat prejudice against the colored people and wisely suggests that the remedy for the eradication of such prejudice is simple justice. --- FAIR TREATMENT FOR OUR RACE Head of Tuskegee Institute Interviews Railway Officials. SUGGESTS DAY OF APPEAL. Afro-Americans Are Urged to Take a United Stand In the Matter of Unequal Accommodations on Railroads. Replies From Passenger Officials Indicate Desire to Give a Square Deal. BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee, Ala.—Some months ago I sent out marked copies to railway officials in every part of the south of an article written for the Century Magazine, in which I referred to the unjust treatment of colored people on railroads. In addition, a letter was written calling attention to the portion of the article marked. It might interest those of our people who are seeking to improve the bad conditions that exist on many railroads to read some of the replies from these officials to these communications. In one case, for example, the president of the railroad had a copy of the Century article placed in the hands of every officer on his road. Later on it is my purpose to urge our people to set aside one day in the year that might be called "railroad day," upon which throughout the country, wherever conditions demand it, we can go to the officials of the railroads and speak to them about the bad conditions that exist with a view of our co-operating with these railroad officials in order to bring about better conditions. I think the extracts from these letters indicate that the railroad officials are now in a state of mind where, in most cases, they are willing to recognize the justice of our claim for better things—in fact, some of them have already acted. When the proper time comes we should take up with the officials concerned the matter of accommodations provided in restaurants, sitting rooms, street cars, steam cars, steamboats, etc. For the present, I am giving you these extracts for publication in order to show that there is an opportunity, if we go about it in the right way, to do away with what has been a long standing source of complaint. Views of Several Railroad Officials. Mr. C. J. Millis, assistant to President William Sproule of the Southern Pacific, writes: "Am very much obliged for your letter of Oct. 9 transmitting your printed article is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" and note with interest your reference to transportation facilities afforded in the south. These matters are bound to receive attention, and we hope the objections will be overcome in due course." Mr. William J. Black, passenger manager of the Atchison, Topeka and Saina Fe railway system, wrote as follows: "I am in receipt of your favor of the 5th inst., inclosing an article by yourself recently published in the Century Magazine, which I have read with interest. You will, no doubt, be pleased to learn that the Santa Fe has already provided equipment for colored travel in conformity with the plan outlined in your article. "At the present time 75 per cent of the coaches used in Oklahoma and Texas for colored people have two compartments, one being a smoking compartment and the other for men and women, and they have separate toilet facilities for each sex. As new cars are purchased or present ones are converted, they will be of that type, and we expect before long to have all of our cars for colored traffic on the same plan." The Race Is Not Getting a Square Deal Mr. J./M. Parker, receiver and general manager of the Arkansas, Louisiana and Gulf Railway company, says, "I have your favor with inclusion, being marked copy of an article which recently appeared in the Century Magazine. I shall take pleasure in reading this article, and from glancing through it I am inclined to think that the statement that the Negro is not getting a square, deal in the way of transportation facilities is well founded." Mr. W. Coughlin, general superintendent of the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway company, wrote: "I have carefully read the article to which you have called special attention and in connection therewith wish to say that while, no doubt, there is ground for complaint at times, an inclined to the opinion that, as a whole, the situation alluded to is improving. In fact, accommodations for white and colored passengers on our motor trains are identical. "On other trains there is not much difference except in emergency cases, where it becomes necessary to use temporary equipment that was not intended for passenger trains, but such cars as are used for the handling of both white and colored passengers as well as employees on freight trains. I assure you that our company appreciates the patronage of the colored people and that it is our desire to do what we can consistently for their comfort while traveling on our road." Will Confer With Other Officials. Mr. W. B. Biddle, receiver and chief traffic officer of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad, writes: "I have read yours of Oct. 10 and the pamphlet inclosed with a great deal of interest. I am quite sure that there is a disposition on the part of the carriers to do anything that they properly can to improve the conditions of the colored race. The conditions under which the carriers are operating at this time are in many respects so burdensome as to leave very little opportunity for the adoption of any philanthropic movements. I shall be very glad, however, to discuss this subject with the executive officers of other lines as opportunity offers." Mr. B. F. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific Railway company, states: "The conditions cited in the article are not applicable to the Missouri Pacific. It is a fact that separate cars are maintained on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern for the Negroes, but my information is that they are cleanly kept and adequate to meet all demands. However, I thank you for bringing the matter to my attention." Mr. N. M. Leach, traffic manager of the Texas and Pacific Railway company, writes: "In recent times the Texas and Pacific railway has made some improvement in the service afforded our colored patrons, and we are making an effort to further improve this service. We have received a number of expressions of appreciation from our colored patrons in Louisiana and Texas. I have read all of your article with a great deal of interest." Statement of Sunset-Central Lines. W. G. Van Vleck, writing for the president, W. B. Scott, of the Sunset-Central lines, says: "The matters referred to in your letter of Oct. 10 have been given very careful consideration by these lines. A few months ago we installed in our Sunset express all steel equipment, and precisely the same character of car is used for colored as well as white passengers. Later on we did the same thing with Nos. 7 and 8 and still later Nos. 11 and 12. These cars are all steel and all of the same kind. On the Central lines north of Houston trains 15, 16, 17 and 18 and on H. E. and W. T. trains 1 and 2 are similarly equipped. Local trains will be taken care of as fast as more equipment of this kind is available." George H. Taylor, vice president of the International and Great Northern Railway company, writes as follows: "I have your letter of the 11th inst. addressed to Frank J. Gould, inclosing copy of your article recently printed in the Century Magazine entitled 'The Greatest Source of Dissatisfaction to the Negro In the South'—namely, railway travel conditions. I have forwarded your letter and its inclusions to Mr. Gould in France." J. E. Franklin, president of the San Antonio, Uvalde and Gulf railroad, replies as follows: "I think you are entirely right in what you say in the pamphlet you inclose me. So far as this railroad is concerned, we are in a section of Texas where there is not much Negro travel, but we are giving the Negroes just as good accommodations as we are giving to the whites." Appreciate Partnership of Our Race. J. C. Haile, general passenger agent of the Central of Georgia Railway company, writes: "Yours of recent date, with marked copy of an article which recently appeared in the Century Magazine, has been duly received. The same will be given consideration, and I hope to write you further later. The management of this company appreciates the colored travel, and we desire to handle it satisfactorily." A. A. Matthews, superintendent of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway system, says: "I have read with interest your article entitled 'Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?' which you inclose with your letter of Oct. 9. The subject of better accommodation for Negro passengers is one that is receiving much thought by the railroads of the south, and I think, as our lines are improved and better coaches are used, that the Negro will share in the benefit. As for the Texas Central, except for a short distance, we very seldom handle Negro passengers, but when we do their compartment in our coaches is upholstered the same and receives the same care as the part provided for white passengers." C. B. Rhodes, general passenger agent of the Georgia Southern and Florida Railway company, replies as follows: "I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th inst., inclosing marked copy of an article of yours which was recently printed in the Century Magazine, for which please accept my thanks." 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.

Three years ago there was not a Negro engaged in business at Five Points. Today there are two grocery stores, two barber shops, four restaurants, two pool rooms, two club houses, Y. M. C. A. headquarters, Patrick Realty Co., Smith Teaming Co, and the Dearfield Agency, 13 business places in all. There are any number of rooming houses and five churches within a few blocks, three doctors, one fire department and two lodge rooms. The Dearfield mercantile store will be ready for business by May 1st, in time to supply the heet workers. The Franklin hotel will be ready for business at Dearfield by May 20th. A. J. Goodall, who owns a business lot next to the post office corner, will be ready to open his barber shop by the time the work begins in the sugar beets and on the railroad. Mr. Goodall is a first class workman and will have a good business, as there will be about $50 men and boys in the district this summer, in the beet fields and on the railroad. The nearest shop for Negroes is Denver and Cheyenne, Wyo., for Japs, and whites, Orchard, eight miles. We need a blacksmith, a shoe cobbler and harness tinker. There is a solldrift opening for a cement block manufacturer at Dearfield; $5,000.00 worth of lumber will be used in the construction of buildings this year and a cement block manufacturer could control three-fourths of that amount. The sand is handy and the water is from 10 to 25 feet deep. There are lots of wealthy Negroes in Colorado who could buy lots and tracts of land in Dearfield. If they never expected to live on them or improve them, it is the duty of all leading and wealthy Negroes to help Negro projects for the benefit of the future of the young. Dearfield lots and tracts will never be any cheaper and the natural development of the country is bound to increase their value. Railroad men should secure a spot for their home. They never know what their fate will be from one trip to another. A home for your family and insurance for their education. The prices of lots run from $10.00 to $25.00 each (inside lots), $5.00 down and balance monthly or quarterly payments. Prices of tracts, $90.00 to $250.00, payments $25.00 down and balance in monthly or quarterly payments. BEAR IN MIND The Taka Art and Literary Club give their annual entertainment, March 19.

Give Us A Trial 2116 Larimer St. Denver GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS. Booker T. Washington Points Out Defects and Offers Remedy. In an address to a large gathering of farmers at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute recently Dr. Booker T. Washington in part said: "Time and money spent every year by farmers coming here in large numbers will be thrown away unless each one is determined to get something out of this farmers' conference that he can take home and put into practice himself. If each one will do that these meetings from year to year will be worth while. "Many of us here in the south fall to realize as farmers the value of time. We are continually talking about the saving of money, but time is just as valuable as money. "In a few sections of the south are people throwing away the days of December, January and February, but they are just as valuable as the days in March and April. In every one of these months something can be done on the farm. Ditches can be put in order, fences repaired, stables and outhouses improved, the land turned over by deep plowing, root and grain crops cultivated, seed corn selected, tools repaired and the dwelling house improved. "To be perfectly plain, too large a proportion of our race spend the winter months waiting until the 1st of March, when they expect some white man to begin making 'advances' to them. We have now been free fifty years, and I know that throughout the south the white man—and the colored man, too—is getting tired of carrying so many Negro farmers on his back year by year through the system of 'advances.' We ought to be able to help ourselves more. to carry ourselves, to provide enough grain, meat, vegetables and other food to carry us from year to year without having to go in debt to buy what ought to be produced on the farm. "County or community can only grow wealthy as it has a large number of individual producers. If a man has only what he can buy at a store he does not increase the wealth of the community. Now, after fifty years, let us be free. If the colored farmers will make up their minds to work every month in the year, teach their wives and children to be continually producing something in the way of vegetables, poultry, milk and butter, while the husband is doing his part in raising something to sustain the family, it will not be necessary for them to get 'advances' from anybody. Give your wives and children a chance in the house. At present you make them help you in the fields, so that they have no chance to plan meals, to raise vegetables or to can fruit. Give them a chance and they will make and save as much as you do. "White people throughout the south are beginning to see that the kind of farmer who brings prosperity to the county is the one who produces more than he consumes, owns a little piece of land and has some money in the bank. This kind of man becomes an asset instead of a liability to the county in which he lives. When this kind of man drives into town on Saturday the merchant, the banker and everybody else welcomes him, because he brings into town more than he takes out. "Cultivate a little land well and see that your house is fit to live in and that your wives and children have a chance to work in the house instead of in the field. Instead of investing a little extra money in more land, put it into your house, build a bathroom and make the home in every way attractive to your children. There is no set of black people anywhere in the world who are permitted to occupy such a rich, genial and beautiful section of the country as we are. Let us make up our minds that we are each going to do our part to develop the farms, the gardens, the orchards, the stock, the poultry, the fruit, the vegetables, and have the best of everything, including houses. "In proportion as we do this there will be less effort to replace us by another class of farmers. No matter what anybody says to the contrary, the average southern white man likes the Negro, likes to have him near him. In the great, big fundamental things of life he is ready to encourage him, to help him and to protect him. Any people who can change from the type who used to come here at the beginning of these conferences to the good looking, intelligent men and women who are here today is a great people." Trustees Close the Eagleville School. The Pennsylvania Industrial School For Colored Children, known as the Eagleville school, against which complaint of incompetence in management was recently made, has gone out of existence. The twenty-one children who were in the large farm building back of Eagleville have been removed and distributed among their parents or guardians in Philadelphia. The distribution was made under the direction of Roy Smith Wallace, who acted at the instance of the trustees of the school. He was assisted in handling the children by Miss Kate Brusstar, secretary of the associated charities in Norristown, Pa. New Laboratory at Shaw University. The president and faculty of Shaw university, Raleigh. N. C., together with the trustees of the school, are much elated over the prospects of having the new modern laboratory completed at an early date. The old laboratory was burned some time ago, and the school has been greatly handicapped since. Encouraging Report of the Success of Our People In a Rich Section Once Chiefly Inhabited by the American Indian—Activity of the Local Business League. By RALPH W. TYLER Muskogee, Okla.—To the "down easterner" the city of Muskogee and the state of Oklahoma are "beyond the confines of civilization," localities where the yet moccasined, feather bedecked and blanket robed Indian roams and where the movies' cowboy breaks the monotony by shooting up the town in the good old fashioned way. It is hard to convince those who live east of the Mississippi and who have never come this way that this town, 1,248 miles from the nation's capital, is a beautiful city, with asphalt paved streets and cement sidewalks, with fine residences and business blocks. There are 10,000 Negroes in this city, forming one-third of the total population. That they are a thrifty set is shown by their real estate holdings, which aggregate $1,500,000; the $150,000 they have invested in business enterprises and their cash in bank, which will total conservatively $60,000, and their per capita wealth of $142.08. That they are an intelligent set is shown by their splendid schools, public and private; their very efficient corps of teachers, their seventeen churches, some of which for beauty, commodiousness and cost would do credit to cities with a far larger Negro population. And here intelligence and clean morals among Negro ministers are the rule, not the exception. This 10,000 Negro population supports well eightteen Negro physicians, three dentists, fourteen lawyers and fifty merchants. What city of 10,000 Negroes cast of the Mississippi can show a better record? How many can equal this showing? The eighty Negro teachers in this city will compare favorably for ability with the white teachers of this or any other city, and for enthusiasm shown in their work, their interest in racial uplift work, few cities can produce their peers. The delegates and visitors who will come here next August to attend the National Negro Business league convention will not only meet with a revelation in Negro progress, but they will receive an inspiration from these hustling, progressive, intelligent Muskogeeites. The finest, largest and most modern clothing store conducted by a Negro is here in Muskogee, and it vies in volume of trade and the largeness and character of stock carried with the best white clothing stores in this city or any eastern city of the same size. T. J. Elliott, who established and now conducts this store, began his business career by carrying a bolt of cloth over his shoulders soliciting orders for tailor made clothes. Adjoining Mr. Elliott's clothing store is the finest dry goods store—a real, to date dry goods store—conducted by J. W. Adams, and conducted with marvelous success. And nowhere in this country is there an art studio and photographic gallery conducted by a Negro the equal of the one here owned and operated by Mr. Green. It has not its counterpart for size, furnishings and tastefulness among Negroes in the country and has few equals among the whites. Some of the other lines of business conducted by Negroes in this city are drug stores, four in number; bank, insurance, undertaking, groceries, tailor shops, printshops, laundries, confectioneries, cafes, harness making, etc. It is estimated that the Negro concerns here do an annual gross business of $600,000. The Negro attorneys here are a keen brilliant set of men, the most prominent being Messrs. Stewart, Brown, Lilly, McKenna, Twine, Jefferson and W Scott Brown, a former Cleveland boy. The physicians are not only skillful as are the dentists; but, like the attorneys, they take a very active interest in everything looking to racial progress. I found that Ohlonnas have invaded this healthy, robust, bustling new state in the southwest, for here I met Herbert A. Clark, a former Cincinnati, who not only resides here, but conducts the Wagoner American one of the best race newspapers published, over in Wagoner, fourteen miles from Muskogee: his wife, who is musical director of the public schools here, Attorney Twine, a one time Xenha (O. boy; W. Scott Brown, a successful attorney, who formerly lived in Cleveland, and Mrs. Avenger, teacher in the public schools, formerly a Miss Trent of Columbus, O. Finding so many old acquaintances from my native state so far from the old "buse of supplies" naturally increased the pleasure of my stay here. But had these not been here Muskogee's proverbial hospitality would have made me feel at home. One thing commendable which this city maintains is the real live Local Business league, and this is the headquarters of the State Negro Business league. a most splendidly active organization.

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.

E SOUTH AFRICAN AFFAIRS. Mixed Races Show Strength In Conflict Between Capital and Labor. Writing from Cape Town, South Africa. W. Arthur Woodward, in a letter to friends in the United States, says: In South Africa the year 1914, beginning with the threat of a general strike at the mines and on the railways, does not seem likely to pass without serious conflicts between capital and labor, and this quite apart from the vexing problems raised by the East Indians in Natal. The strength of the labor unions is increasing, the labor party, though at present a small factor in the political world, is gaining in importance and here as elsewhere the spirit of unrest is abroad. With unskilled labor the white man in South Africa has little to do. It is left to the natives. How great a drawback in some respects this is to the industrial development of the country is evident when it is realized that the supply is insufficient, that the natives are not naturally industrious and, except for short periods at a time, are seldom willing workers. With the white man holding aloof from manual work, it does not seem extraordinary that South Africa should suffer chronically from a shortage of labor when it is remembered that the total population of the union is under 6,000,000, the natives and other colored or mixed races numbering rather less than 4,700,000. It was because of this state of affairs that East Indian labor was demanded for the plantations in Natal and Chinese labor for the Transvatic mines. The Chinese have gone, but nearly half the labor required for industrial purposes on the Rand is recruited outside the union in Portuguese East Africa. Threatened with no active immigration policy, the skilled white laborer has, all the same, the ever increasing number of skilled native and colored laborers to cope with—the word "colored" being used generally to signify those who represent a fusion of races. If the Kaffir prefers the simple life to work for work's sake, the educated colored man is a competitor not to be despised, who is willing to accept a lower standard of wages corresponding with less costly ways of living. No doubt the skilled and efficient colored laborer will tend to undersell the white man less as his own standing improves and his needs increase, but in any case he has to be reckoned with and not at some remote period—but now. Naturally this growing competition is a matter of grave concern to the trade unions. At the conference of labor representatives held in January it was decided that colored people, excluding, however, natives and Asiatics, should be admitted to the labor party. It is difficult to see what other course could be taken if they are to enlist the co-operation of these men in keeping up the rate of wages. Nor is the value of the colored vote to be ignored. There are in the union over 600,000 colored people, a considerable population "neither altogether white nor altogether native," many of whom in Natal and the Cape have votes. To exclude them in future from the party would be, it was argued, to send them into the arms of the capitalists to exploit them against the labor party. The market was being flooded with colored trained artisans and the principle for which the labor party stood was the uplifting of humanity without reference to the color of a man's skin. The Society of Engineers in the Cape has no color bar, while the Typographical society of Capetown is largely composed of colored men. Thousands of these men are no less well educated than their European competitors, and clearly the labor party needing their votes and recognizing the importance of co-operation with them, could not wisely any longer refuse to invite their allegiance.

Residence Phone York 2079 NEW ADDITION TO RACE LITERATURE Period Covered by "Facts of Reconstruction." BOOK VOID OF PREJUDICE. Former Mississippi Legislator and Retired Army Officer Discusses a Most Delicate Subject With Great Earnestness and Fairness—Advocates Full Civil and Political Rights. In "Facts of Reconstruction," the title of a most interesting and valuable book by Major John R. Lynch, retired paymaster in the United States army, the race has a work that is free from sectional animosity and partisan bias. It is free from any features which might be calculated to arouse racial antagonism. Beginning with 1866, the year marked by radical differences of opinion between the president of the United States and congress over the question of the reconstruction of the states but lately in rebellion against the national government, and running rapidly through the more important steps in P. MAJOR JOHN R. LYNCH. the political history of the state of Mississippi, touching here and there on national politics and ending with a conservative statement of President Taft's grave errors in dealing with the Negro question, the author has illuminated in a most effective fashion some of the most interesting pages of American political history. The recital of the story of reconstruction is in parts dramatic and in parts tragic. The strategy of designing politicians worked an appalling tragedy in the life of the ambitious Negro leader during the reconstruction period and especially in 1874, when the radical Democrats came into power throughout the southern states. The conditions described so vividly were lamentable, illustrating the awful calamities suffered by the weaker element of the body politic at the hands of the stronger. But Major Lynch is not a pessimist. He is a man with a great vision. He has seen the dawn of a new age "when each man's good shall be all men's aim." We of this age may be a little apathetic about such matters as are set forth in the book, but it would be well for us to read over and over again what this wise observer has written concerning our past. The book presents facts as the author has witnessed them. His study of the political situation is both analytical and intensive. He is a student of psychology. His is the advocacy of civil and political rights of all citizens. Major Lynch entered public life while quite a young man. It was in 1809 that Governor Ames appointed him justice of the peace in the city of Nachez, Miss. He showed splendid executive ability and was soon promoted by the people to a seat in the state legislature. His has been a brilliant career. There is hardly a Negro in the entire country whose past life has been so closely connected with the reconstruction period and who is more highly esteemed in the councils of the Republican party today as is John R. Lynch. While he was serving in the national house of representatives he was a leader of powerful influence. He was once honored by the national Republican convention as temporary chairman. He has served as auditor of the United States treasury and paymaster in the United States army. Because of his close contact with the great leaders in the Republican party and with the problems in political life for the past forty years Major Lynch is well qualified to write intimately concerning the subject treated in his book. There is no way of accounting for the wonderful sagacity and wisdom manifested by our people during the reconstruction period. How they learned so quickly to conceive and plan legislation of such farreaching importance is a puzzle, but that they legislated wisely the laws of many of the southern states do attest. The administration of colored officials in the state of Mississippi, whatever may be said to the contrary, was manly. It must be remembered that the race had no historians to record its acts; its critics were its enemies. THE LITTLE COTTAGE COAL CO. Phone Main 8314 R. E.
