Easter Entertainment, Monday, April 13 at Eureka Hall GIVEN BY THE Masons The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 DEARFIELD AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES. The Negros's Great Chance For Racial Uplift. DEERFIELD HINTS AND DONTS. Deerfeld needs a company of men and farmers to buy a 12 blade steam plow and then Clara B. Franklin, who is now on the ground. "What others can and have done we can do." This is what the Denver Times says editorially, Feb. 21, 1914, about Deerfield and To Be Or Not To Be. Shall We Have a Y. M. C. To the Colored People of Denver, One and All: DEARFIELD AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES. The Negros's Great Chance For Racial Uplift. the possibilities in strawberries, raspberries and other small berries are good and there is no better place in Colorado for raising hogs, chickens, truck gardening, ducks and turkeys than here. The heavy native hay grass grows almost without any attention. Dairy farming in this vicinity is an ideal and an inexpensive business. Fish is abundant in the lakes and rivers, and rabbits, ducks and geese hunting are the chief winter pastimes for the farmers. Deerfield farming started three years in advance of the town, making business opportunities now for the right people with more brains than money, excellent. There is already a friendly rivalry between the farmers for one to excell the DEARFIELD TOWNSITE & SETTLEMENT WELD CO.

This increased energy has caused the envious eye of the white neighbor to be cast upon the growing and prosperous Colony. They no longer tell them and discourage them by saying "you can't grow this or that and you make a mistake by doing this or that, but they, themselves, have gotten busy doing to keep ahead of Mr. Deerfield Negro. Coal mines are within 50 miles of Deerfield and coal can be secured at $3.95 per ton at Frederick, Colo., and car load lots ordered by the farmers' reduces the price. Deerfield Colony at present embracing 13,500 acres of land with an inexhaustable underflow was started about May 5, 1910, when the first filing in Weld county, Colo., was made. Deerfield, cradled in the Platte river valley in a gently rolling country, some 1200 ft. lower than Denver and whose climate is mild and winters and summers at an altitude of 38, are extremely pleasant, has the advantages of two railroads, the Union Pacific on the north and the Burlington on the South. Platte river with its heavily wooded districts two miles distant furnishes drift wood, lumber, fuel and quite enough material for the surrounding country, as well as railroad ties for the railroads. No farm in the district being more than 6 miles from either road. The Colony borders on the Empire lake with a canal whose bottom is 30 ft. wide and whose top is 60 ft., carrying a capacity of 190 sq. ft. of water per minute. The Bijou river is just north of the Platte river and is within two miles. The townsite contains 384 lots and is surrounded by 545 acre tracts and 16 ten acre tracts. Deerfield whose soil is a black, sandy loam will grow anything and has grown crops of sugar beets, potatoes, corn, rye, barley oats, winter wheat, alfalfa and native hay, onions and all kinds of vegetables. Fruits, as yet, have never been a successful experiment but DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1914 DEERFIELD HINTS AND Clara B. Franklin, who is now DONTS. on the ground. "What others Deerfeld needs a company of men and farmers to buy a 12 blade steam plow and then rent it out to the farmers or plow their land. Such a plow can plow up all of Deerfield in a month and with a mortgage on the crops to secure the labor, what a business chance to clip interest coupons, as $2.50 is paid per acre for plowing. Don't go up to Deerfield with more money than common sense, you will lose it before you get the common sense necessary to handle the opportunity. Go up there with the idea of working your own land and not for anybody else, because you only put off your own advancement.

You must cultivate your own ground. It is foolish to go up there without a team and plowing implements; plowing cost too much. The place needs young men, who are willing to work for two years straight and the results will speak for themselves. In order to encourage the young men and women The Star is giving away lots 28 and 29, block 13 in the townsite to the male and female securing the highest number of votes. The lots are next to the proposed post-office, adjoining the barber shop and grocery store and immediately across the street from the Franklin Hotel, to be run and managed by Mrs. Clara B. Franklin, who is now on the ground. "What others can and have done we can do." This is what the Denver Times says editorially, Feb. 21, '14, about Deerfield and its farmers: "In view of the discussion which resulted in congress a few days ago when an effort was made to have set aside a portion of the agricultural department funds for the encouragement of the Negroes of the country who wish to embark in agriculture it is interesting to note the energy, the forethought and the practical business' ability of the Colorado Negroes, who not only are making their mark in the agricultural circles of the state, but who are planning a city of, for and by the Negroes of the state. In congress great opposition to the appropriation of money for the Negroes caused postponement in acting upon a measure before it. In Colorado the town of Deerfield, situated two miles from Masters, off the Union Pacific railroad and in the heart of the dry land farming district, has been platted. Scores of Negro families have taken up and proved up homesteads in that district. The township project is backed by O. T. Jackson, messenger to Gov. Ammons, and one of the most progressive thinkers of his race in Colorado. The town will be peopled with Negroes and will be conducted by Negroes, who will establish a municipal government and will apply to the postoffice department for recognition in the form of a post office. The land is excellent in character and is underlaid with subterranean streams, from which water for irrigation may be pumped profitably. Such ambitions and such energy as prompted the promulgation of this plan for the betterment of the Negro race and the commonwealth would seem worthy of encouragement, instead of discouragement, at the hands of the congressmen elected to represent the people and to work for the best interests of the country, even if they have the race hatred of the Southerner. The Colorado State Land Board has just issued an atlas of Colorado state lands and land laws, the price of which is 25c per copy. Every person interested in buying lands should investigate the state's liberal terms. There are 26,000 acres of state land adjoining Dearfield which can be bought at from $5 to $50 per acre, in 18 yearly payments, at 6 per cent. There is no more government land in Deerfield for homesteads and the state lands are the next opportunity to get a home cheap and on easy terms. The Deerfield agency. 2561 Washington avenue, Denver, Colo., will sell you five and ten-acre tracts of state land on easy payments. Dr. W. A. Jones has bought a ten-acre tract in Deerfield settlement, in the S. W. 1/4 of Sec. 30, T. 4 N., 61 W. P. M., known as tract No. 1, at the corner of Jackson street and Thomas avenue. He will begin his improvements at once and will hereafter be known as Dr. Jones of Deerfield, Colo. The question of a resident physician for Deerfield has been solved to the satisfaction of the settlers, as Dr. Jones is one of the best physicians in Colorado and we are glad to have been so fortunate as to have him as our physician, and admire his loyalty and sense as a good citizen. He is as invaluable as a doctor to the settlers as To Be Or Not To Be. Shall We Have a Y. M. C. A.? To the Colored People of Denver, One and All: The life of our Y.M.C.A. is now threatened. Everything hinges upon our immediate action and payment of the subscriptions pledged one year ago.

Vernon at Shorter Chapel Thnrsday night of last week and not feel coursing through the audience's heart of hearts, the alternating currents of inspiration, gratification and encouragement for the future of the American Negro, as he swayed the mighty concourse to and fro like a small zephyr silently moves the leaves in the top of the trees. He spoke on the "XXth Century Negro" and reviewed the past, present and future condition of the down-trodden race. Dr. Vernon visited the pyramids of Egypt, interpreted the Babylonians Arabics, gathered facts and conclusions from medieval history, climaxing them with the lessons taught by the European struggles and calling the audience's attention to America's dark he will be in church work and on the prospective school board.

The enthusiasm and appreciation of the large audience was repeatedly demonstrated by applause. Dr. Vernon is a favorite orator in Denver and has a host of friends here also. His ability and worth are conceded by all. He is doing a grand work as President of Campbell College. Indians and Negroes Barred. The Seaman's Church Institute in New York City is called "A Harbor for Seaman and Boatman of the World." In spite of this the assistant superintendent, Rev. C. P. Deems, has stated that Indians, and Negroes are barred because the white sailors object to them. Recently Arthur R.

Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. Last Sunday was indeed a great day for Zion. In it the congregation enjoyed something of the culmination of the revival through which the church has just passed. The pastor preached to a splendid congregation in the morning on the "Doctrine of Baptism," after which the rite was administered to a number of candidates. In all some forty-odd have been baptized, leaving about twenty yet upon the list. At the evening service 65 new members were fellowshipped into the church, following which a record number sat down to the table of the Lord. There are about forty persons yet to be given the hand of fellowship. The Sunday school Easter program will be rendered at the 11 o'clock hour in the auditorium of the church. The superintendent expects to present one of the best programs in the history of the school. Every parent should be present. The Men's Bible class, which suspended its meetings during the revival, will take up the regular program Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. All the men of the congregation are urged to be present.

The church wishes to thank each and every person who assisted in making this fair the success that it was. It is a grand start toward our rally to lift our mortgage June 7th. READING ADVERTISEMENTS. It is not alone the people who are interested in trade who read advertisements. Few people nowadays buy either newspapers or magazines who do not read these cleverly worded and well illustrated bids for business. If you should ask the average person just why he or she is in the habit of looking over the advertisements, the chances are that you would get no direct and satisfactory answer, but the real fact is that subconsciously the public has come to regard what appears in the advertising columns as interesting reading matter.—Portland (Ore.) Telegram. WEST KENTUCKY COLLEGE. Institution Founded by Professor D. H. Anderson. Has Grown Rapidly. Anderson Has Grown Rapidly. Paducah, Ky.-Situated in Paducah, Ky., bordering the states of Tennessee and Illinois, is the West Kentucky Industrial college, founded eight years ago by Professor D. H. Anderson. The peculiar location of the school in touching three states gives its work a wide scope in the efforts to reach the large mass of members of the race. Like most educators who have dedicated their lives to the service of the race, Professor Anderson tells a thrilling story of sacrifice and devotion in his effort to build up his school. It is the story of the hard worker who starts out to accomplish what may seem to others impossible. Seeing the need of an institution in this section, Professor Anderson in 1904, with the assistance of Mrs. Anderson and with no other capital than an honest heart and a rugged determination, began this institution. The work was begun in an old abandoned building with seventeen pupils and himself and wife as teacher. For three years the school struggled along in this abandoned house until its steady growth necessitated larger quarters. The school is carrying on its work at the present time in two modern buildings well equipped for its work. It has an enrollment of over 200 students, and the faculty consists of nine teachers and officers. The school is one of the most potent factors in the uplift of the race in Kentucky and is making the section the institution is located one of the busiest educational centers in the south. For miles around the institution radiates its influence and is fast becoming the pride of the race in that section of the state. The West Kentucky Industrial college represents the single effort of its founder. With saw and hatchet and a pocketful of carpenter's tools and nails Professor Anderson has done most of the work on the main building of the school, which is two stories high. The building has thirty-two rooms, six recitation rooms, an assembly room seating 326, twenty-six dormitory rooms and a dining room. Prominent white educators of the state have indorsed in the highest terms the work of the school. Professor Anderson is a familiar figure in the educational life of the race in the state, and for twenty-one years he has been engaged in educational work. He was born in Jackson, Tenn., and after passing through the public school he entered Lane college, from which he graduated. After his graduation he was sometime principal of the public schools of Jackson, and it was while in this capacity he founded his present work. In connection with his duties as president of his school Professor Anderson conducts summer normal institutes for teachers throughout the state of Kentucky. Professor Anderson has given much time to the education of his race and has written a syllabus prepared for colored teachers' institutes which has been adopted by the state. Professor Anderson is nobly assisted by Mrs. Anderson, who is imbued with the same spirit of sacrifice as her husband. Perhaps a more beautiful spirit of service cannot be found than is seen in Mrs. Anderson, who is a graduate of Scotia seminary and is the right hand partner of her husband. Besides her duties at the college Mrs. Anderson teaches at White Oak, two miles from the city. The $55 per month she gets for her work as teacher in this rural school she turns over to the support of the Industrial college. Professor Anderson is now in New York on a campaign to raise $30,000 to enlarge the work. Professor Anderson is meeting with much success on his campaign and has succeeded in making many friends for the school. Professor Anderson's tour will include several cities before he returns south. The success of this able young educator should serve as an inspiration to the aspiring youth of the race. Virginia Baptist State Convention. The Virginia Baptist State Convention will hold its annual convention in Roanoke, Va., from Wednesday, May 13, to Sunday, May 17, inclusive. The convention aims to raise at the coming session $10,300 for education and home and foreign missions. The Rev. Alexander A. Galvin of Danville, Va., president of the convention, is keeping in close touch with the pastors of the churches belonging to the organization throughout the state. The president is urging each church to do its full duty in raising the amount mentioned above, which is the amount of the budget agreed upon at the last annual meeting of the convention. Member of Concord Half a Century. Mrs. Nancy B. La Mott of Brooklyn, who died of paralysis recently in Philadelphia while on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Mary Washington, was a member of the Concord Baptist church in the former city, having joined Feb. 28, 1803. She was a native of Newborn, N. C. Her husband, the late Major La Mott, was a soldier in the Union army during the civil war and as a veteran drew a regular government pension. After his death the amount was transferred to his widow. Mrs. La Mott was the mother of twelve children, six of whom are living. She was one of the founders of the Dorcas Home Mission society of the above named church and a member of the Sunday school All persons who expect to enter this contest must register their names not later than April 18, 1914.

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. To prove that a Negro settlement is a benefit to us, we will take as an example "Five Points" in Denver, Colo. 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 beet workers. Dearfield Agency, 2516 Washington street, Denver, Colo. Yetta Leventhal, a 13-year-old schoolgirl, of Brooklyn, N. Y., failed to pass in her examinations, was afraid to go home and remained out all night. When she was found dirty and torn, the next morning she claimed that she had been kidnapped and mistreatby some colored men. Under the cross questioning of an officer, she finally confessed that she had not been molested at all, but had slept in a doorway all night because she was afraid to go home. A similar case, and one which might have had very serious results, was that of a farmer's wife in Chestertown, Md., who, in order to keep her husband home nights, claimed that she had been attacked by a Negro. She smeared the blood of a chicken around the place to make her story seem real, but finally admitted that it was all untrue.-The Crisis. It must be so; I read it in The Denver Star. Remember every dollar you spend in Dearfield, Colorado, you may spend it again. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT. Meeting of A. M. E. Church Financial Board to Be Held April 15. Washington.-The annual meeting of the financial board of the A. M. E. church will be held at the financial headquarters of the denomination, 1541 Fourteenth street. Wednesday, April 15. Professor John R. Hawkins, who has made an enviable record as financial secretary of the denomination, will make his second annual report at this meeting. The money that comes into this department is known as "dollar money," as it is raised by subscriptions of $1 each from members of the various churches of the denomination. It is expected that this year's receipts will total $200,000. The money thus raised is used in paying the salaries of bishops and general officers of the denomination in advancing the cause of education, church extension work and in aiding superannuated ministers, widows and orphans in the various annual conferences. Professor Hawkins has long been prominent in the affairs of the denomination. He is the founder and first president of Kittrell college in North Carolina and for a number of years he served with success as the commissioner of education for the A. M. E. church. He was elected to his present position at the general conference of the denomination, which met in Kansas City in 1908. The members of the present financial board are Bishop H. B. Parks, chairman; C. H. Murray, Catousville, Md.; J. Gilmore, Cleveland, O.; J. C. Anderson, Louisville, Ky.; J. R. Ransom, Topeka, Kan.; E. T. Singleton, Savaunah, Ga.; R. M. Mance, Beaufort, S. C.; W. T.

Stokes and Derry Complete Five Years of Paintstaking Effort. Baltimore. -Success in business characterizes many racial enterprises, especially those that have been started by men who have received special training along some chosen line. This is true of Stokes & Derry, local business men in this city, who recently completed five years of catering to the needs of the public. Dr. E. Verry Stokes, the senior member of the firm of Stokes & Derry, is a native of this city. While attending the colored high school he worked in local drug stores, thus gaining an insight into the business. Upon his graduation he entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, completing the course there in 1908. The junior member of the firm, Dr. John W. Derry, is also a native of this city. After attending the public schools he studied at Oberlin college. He received his pharmaceutical training at the University of Michigan. He worked in a number of local drug stores before becoming a partner with Dr. Stokes. These two men attribute their success to painstaking business methods and a desire to always anticipate the wishes of their patrons. That due preparation for one's chosen calling is necessary to success is amply shown in the rise to prominence in the business world of Messrs Stokes and Derry. High Honor For Dean Lewis B. Moore Dr. Lewis B. Moore, dean of the Teachers' college of Howard university, in Washington, and professor of philosophy and education, has accepted the offer to lecture on the principles of education and to act as the director of the summer school for teachers conducted by the state department of Wilberforce university in Ohio. Professor W. A. Joiner, formerly of Howard university, is the superintendent of this department of the university. Carnival In Aid of Lincoln Hospital. The Woman's council, an auxiliary to the Lincoln hospital, will give a carnival at Tomlinson hall, Indianapolis, Ind., beginning on Monday evening, April 13. In order to raise funds with which to finance the coming carnival the Women's council recently gave a successful matinee dance at Knights of Pythias hall. Much interest is manifested in the contest for queen of the carnival. A New Dining Room now in connection with the Keystone Club.

LARGE RESULTS OBTAINED. Wonderful Achievements In Wealth, Education and Religious Culture Wrought by Afro-Americans Who Have Learned How to Master Their Difficulties. By RALPH W. TYLER. Jackson, Miss.-On account of the highly colored reports sent north regarding lynchings in this state many of the people of the north regard Mississippi as a hopeless area for the colored race. If you should come to the state and especially to this city, see the wonderful progress being made by the race, note the feeling existing between the two races and observe the fine residences and splendid business establishments owned and controlled by colored people you would at once conclude that the traditional bark of those persons who aim to hinder our progress is not taken so seriously by the colored people in this section. There are twelve colored lawyers in this city, and each one is doing excellently well. Wherever a colored lawyer can succeed it is a fair advertisement for a locality as offering opportunities to the race. Wherever you find an even dozen Negro lawyers registering a high water mark of success you have the proof of opportunities for race development. These men are not professional race solvers; they are quiet, consistent, earnest solvers of the problem. Of the 22,600 population of this city 13,560—more than brff—are Afro-Americans, who have $350,000 invested in business enterprises and who pay taxes on $1,000,000 worth of real estate. Quick Service Men like L. K. Atwood and W. A. Scott, who have developed respectively a successful bank and a successful insurance company, and able attorneys, second to none, like Perry W. Howard, W. J. Latham and S. A. Beadle, who are constantly engaged in every line of thought and action to improve the race, and a successful physician, druggist and lawyer like S. D. Redmond, whose holdings exceed the half hundred thousand mark, and a virile editor like E. R. Topp are alone sufficient to develop an oasis in any desert. I have been to but few places where I was so much impressed with the helpful activity, wealth producing ability and intelligence on the part of our race as here in Jackson. I predict that, at the rate they are progressing, the Negroes in the next quarter of a century will own more than 75 per cent of the farm acreage in this state and more than 40 per cent of the city property and will more than split even with the white man in the control of business. Race prejudice in this state is now more largely because of the wonderfully rapid material and educational advancement of the race than because of inborn race hatred. The success which the colored people have achieved in the face of the most active and virulent race discrimination in itself argues for the ultimate disenthronement of race discrimination. This city is the headquarters of one old line insurance company operated by the race and several mutual companies, all of which are successful, Pharmacy, bakeries, groceries, contracting, banking, printing and tailoring are a few of the business activities in which the race is engaged. There are two public schools, with a corps of twenty-five teachers, and Campbell college, of which Dr. W. T. Vernon is president, and twelve churches give some indication that the moral and spiritual man is not at all neglected. The churches as a rule are splendid edifices, well attended and have well educated ministers. It is estimated—and I investigated to make sure—that the Negroes in this city have $300,000 on deposit in the banks. This, with the value of their real estate and personal property gives the race in Jackson a per capita wealth of $129. As a Frenchman would say, "That is magnificent!" and especially so when you stop to reflect that Mississippi as a state has perhaps done more to stop Negro progress than any other state. Really there is noth fug but progress here, encouraging, inspiring progress, and such men and women as W. A. Scott. L. K. Atwood S. D. Redmond, Perry W. Howard, D. W. Turner, R. J. Johnson, G. F. Frazier, E. R. Topp, W. J. Latham, S. A. Beadle, H. T. Risher, James Boyd, Mrs. Lucle Miller, Cora McClain, Mrs. W. J. Wade, V. L. Reuben and others are the ones who are leading in this upbuilding of a race in this city and state. I was much impressed with the orderly manner in which all Negro business enterprises are conducted here and the amount of energy, intelligence and personal service injected in each and all of them. The Negroes of the north need not lose any sleep over the future of the race in this section if the progress shown in this city is typical of the progress being made throughout the south. Jackson is a regular beehive, filled with working bees, no drones. Here you find the Negro pushing, not whining.

"In writing our editorial two weeks ago on the new hotel, we stated that in order to make any headway, the Negro in Boston must engage for profit in every enterprise which the law sanctions as legitimate and proper. The following editorial was clipped from the 'Charlotte Advertiser' and shows how deep-rooted this principle is throughout the South: "Mr. Napier is a wealthy man. He stays in the harness, however, not for his personal benefit but for the benefit of the masses of the race. It is a broadness of activity which every man who claims title to a business or profession should cultivate. We think too much of ourselves in Boston. We are afraid to get down among the masses and work. "The success of the man does not mean how much business he may do, how much money he may accumulate, or with what class in society he may be affiliated, but how many men and women of the race he can assist, by the use of his money, his energy and time, in freeing themselves from the humiliation of poverty and want." We heartily endorse the stand taken by the Cleveland Gazette and we can say for a truth that it very appropriately applies in Denver. We find ourselves, after such persons leave our midst, constantly defending, explaining to some of our white friends who believe in standing undauntingly on the broad principle of "equality and equal rights to all, special privileges to none." We quote from the tiazette: "We wish to warn our race contemporaries in the North, of the white and colore representatives of Southern educational institutions and organizations, who come North soliciting funds, as a rule, and who express themselves, particularly when addressing white audiences and in interviews in Northern daily newspapers, as favoring segregation, 'jim-crow' institutions and various other color lines. They are making it infinitely harder for us." The time has come when every loyal, manly and intelligent member of the race, in every community, especially here in the North, must speak out in a respectful way for the race at every opportunity. Use your local daily newspapers all you can in doing so. Stand up squarely, at all times, for every right and privilege exercised by other American citizens, and oppose segregation and "jim-crowism." Those who are knocking the Dearfield townsite don't realize that people are doing just what they are saying cannot be done. Think of Dearfield having a Negro cemetery to bury these knockers in. A good business proposition. All of them cannot live; some are bound to die. The United States government will more than likely appropriate $25,000 to show the progress made by the American Negro, along material and intellectual lines for the past 50 years, at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, to be held at San Francisco, Cal., in 1915. United States Senator James O'Gorman, of New York, is urging the appropriation in behalf of the colored end of the Exposition. Negro labor for the mountains is in great demand by the employment agencies. There is absolutely no excuse for a man not working now. Next month the dragnet will be out and the police will clean up and the slogan will be "go to work or go to jail." Take your choice, and Denver will have no place for the idle Negro.

Afro-Americans Haise $33,160.30 For Y. M. C. A. Nashville, Tenn. -- For many years the leading colored citizens among the business and professional men, educators and leaders of religious thought have felt the need of a central organization for young men and boys aside from the schools and churches. Within the past five years the work of the Young Men's Christian association throughout the country has received much attention from our people, until at the present time they have several branches with full modern equipment The people of this city decided that in order to provide for the rapidly increasing population of young men and boys Nashville should have a suitable building for Y. M. C. A. work. Accordingly they set about to raise an amount which would secure the offer of $25,000 from Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the noted Chicago merchant. Arrangements were made to start a financial campaign after going over the situation with Dr. J. E. Mooreland, one of the international Y. M. C. A. secretaries. Meetings were called, and the public was informed of the plans. Nine teams were organized, each having a captain. The campaign began March 20 and closed Tuesday night. March 30. The amount raised in cash and subscriptions was $33,160,30. This amount, with $45,000 from the central association for white men and boys, secures the gift of the $25,000 from Mr. Julius Rosenwald. Thus within a reasonable time the colored people of this city will have a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building. Henry Allen Boyd was chairman of the campaign committee, and he led his forces to a magnificent victory. The final demonstration with music furnished by a brass band was held in Odd Fellows' hall Wednesday evening April 1, at which Chlirmann Henry Allen Boyd presided. The largest amount was raised by team No. 9, headed by D. W. Crutcher. The speakers at Wednesday evening's demonstration besides the team captains, were Hon J. C. Napler, Dr. Buckner, Mr. Mc Gill, the president and secretary of the central association. Major E. B. Stuslmann, A. N. Johnson, C. P. Clark, S. S. Caruthers, W. H. Sanders and International Secretary J. E. Mooreland Henry Allen Boyd was the lion of the hour. Want National Political Congress. Excluding the states which have disfranchisement laws, the number of colored voters in the north, east and middle west, according to the most recent estimate, is about $50,000. For the purpose of discussing the political situation as it relates to members of the race it has been suggested that a national congress be called to meet in Washington May 5. The suggestion is a good one and should be put into action without delay. WORK OF HOLSEY NORMAL ACADEMY High Purpose of a School In Cordele, Ga. EFFORT TO INTEREST BOYS. Institution Located In Thickly Settled Section of Crisp County Prosperers Under the Able Leadership of the Rev. G. W. F. Phillips—Increase In Opportunity For Industrial Training. Cordele, Ga.—Rev. G. W. F. Phillips, brother to Bishop C. H. Phillips, is one of the factors in the educational development of the race in Georgia, in which state he is doing a substantial work for racial uplift. For some time he has been at the head of the Holsey Normal and Industrial academy, located in Cordele, which is attended by 200 students. He was born in Milledgeville, the old capital of Georgia, something over sixty years ago. He was among the first students to enter the school of the American Missionary association in 1866. As a student he was zealous in his studies, which were continued at the Lewis high school in Macon, Ga., now known as the Ballard Normal. After completing the Ballard Normal course he entered Atlanta university, and in this school he was associated with some of the best known educators of JOHN H. HARRIS REV. G. W. P. PHILLIPS. the race, such as Rev. J. E. Smith of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Rev. E. J. Penny; Dr. W. H. Crogman, Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., and Major R. R. Wright, president of Georgia State Industrial college in Savannah. While the Rev. Mr. Phillips has done some religious work, yet he has devoted most of his time to teaching, for which work he seems to be consecrated and prepared. During his life in the schoolroom he has inspired hundreds of young men and women to aim for the higher things in life, and many of them are now making good records in their chosen calling. He has had an eagle eye to business and has taken advantage of every opportunity to invest in real estate. He owns some of the best located property in Americus, Ga., his home. He was the first principal of the Americus public school and held the position for ten years, resigning to do pastoral work, in which he was very successful. It was in the fall of 1907 that he was selected to take charge of the Holsley Normal and Industrial school. He has added much to this school, and during his administration there have been ten graduates. Holsey academy is located in the beautiful and rapidly growing city of Cordele, the county seat of Crisp county, in the heart of the so called "black belt" of Georgia. It can be reached from all parts of the state at convenient hours, as the Seaboard Air Line, Georgia Southern and Florida and Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic all meet here. Owing to the lack of means, the school cannot do very much in the line of industrial training as yet. It has made a beginning, however, in plain sewing and fancy needlework, millinery, poultry raising and agriculture. It has organized a boys' corn club and does dairying on a small scale. The institution stands first of all for Christianity. "We believe Christ was the ideal man, and the Christian standard is the one all men should strive to rench," says Principal Phillips. "The Bible is therefore given as prominent a place as circumstances will authorize. Subbath school is held every Sunday afternoon and prayer service every Sunday evening. "The use of good English and as thorough knowledge of history, geography, grammar, arithmetic and kindred subjects as we can give, rather than a smattering of foreign languages, is our object. "We have had a dormitory erected for boys. It is a well built two story structure and will accommodate thirty boys. In most of our institutions, regardless of their grade, the girls by far outnumber boys, and for that reason it seems to me some special efforts should be made to get boys interested in their education.

Town: send was held up anu beaten near Downing and 28th avenue by two white masked highwaymen. A gun was placed at his head, but the law: yer turned his back on the robbers and walked into the street, where they followed him and began to knock and beat him until the car came. by, and Lawyer Townsena attempted to board the car while running and the robbers pulled him off the car, tear. ing his coat and vest away. The law: yer had $40 in bills and two diamonds worth about $600. The car stopped, the robbers ran and a policeman caught a man whom the lawyer after: wards identified as the “small man.” | Mr. Pearl Porter was held up just halt ay hour before near his home 3216 High street.

Mrs. Morris realizes that there are no schools of millinery in Denver where Negroes are tuught, yet Denver affords oppor. tunities and trade for at least 15 com. peten colored milliners. The profits are large to those who have expert Knowledge in buying goods at retail cheaper than at wholesale price. The milliner must learn to pick her mate. rials ‘rom the bargain counters. Everything can be utilized, no waste at all if the student possesses any of the artistic art or originality in the use of scraps, Her $2.50 hats went fike hot cakes and both colored and white people flocked into the parlors and patronized her. irs. Morris thanks the public for their loyal sup- port, and takes this opportunity to an.- nounce that she will organize a school of instruction about June 15, 1914.

JONES MAKER OF ALL SKINDS OF THE FIGHT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS National Association Holds Big Meeting In Brooklyn. SENTIMENT AGAINST WRONG Noted Men Speak In Support of the New Abolition Movement, Which Is Spreading Rapidly—After Our Wilderness Shall Come Another Appomattox, Says Oswald G. Villard. Brooklyn.-The largest and most enthusiastic public meeting ever held in this city in the interest of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was the one Tuesday evening, March 31, at the Concord Baptist church. The committee representing the colored citizens of Brooklyn, which had charge of the arrangements for the meeting, consisted of Mrs. Alice Wiley Seay, chairman; George E. Wilbecan, secretary; E. H. Wilson, treasurer; R. M. Meroney, chairman of the committee on program, and N. Barnett Dodson, chairman of the committee on resolutions. Rector George Frazier Miller of St. Augustine Protestant Episcopal church presided. The speakers were Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post; the Hon. Moses E. Clapp, United States senator from Minnesota, and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, ed. MRS. ALICE WILEY SEAY. itor of the Crisis Magazine. The Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris, pastor of the Bank Street Baptist church in Norfolk, Va., who was at the time on a visit to Philadelphia, having heard of the meeting, came to Brooklyn, as he said, for the specific purpose of attending the meeting. He delivered a stirring talk following the speakers named above. The campaign waged by the association against the segregation of clerks and other employees in the government service in Washington, the fight against jimcrow service on railroads in the south and other practices of injustice to the colored race has become popularly known throughout the country as the "new abolition movement." It was for the purpose of discussing the various phases of the general question of race discrimination that the meeting was held. Mr. Villard, the first speaker, in part said: "Primarily there is the remedy of the Golden Rule. Nothing in the world creates friction among groups or classes of men as does injustice and inequality. If you wrong your neighbor or take advantage of him you will speedily grow to hate him, whether he be white or black, Jew or Christian, good or bad, rich or poor. There is the remedy of absolute justice in the courts which carries with it black representation on juries. There is the remedy of the fair and just enforcement of the law in our rural districts. "Then there is the remedy of permitting the colored people at least a share in their government. That this is not an impossible suggestion can be demonstrated by numerous citations from southern authorities. I content myself with quoting Professor W. O. Scroggs of the University of Louisiana, who declared before the southern sociological conference in this very year: 'Suffrage should be held before the Negro as a reward of character. If our present federal laws are properly enforced every worthy colored man can have the ballot.' "There is next the great remedy of co-operation. You will hardly believe it, I am sure, when I tell you that until the riots in Atlanta, caused by a few criminals made mad by the white man's whisky and cocaine, there had never been the slightest co-operation between the leaders of the whites and blacks in that city. There had never been a single meeting for counsel on the thousand questions as to race relationships which must arise where race contact and competition are so sharp and so general as is the case today all over the south; hence white and colored live side by side, often ignorant of each other's good qualities, of their upward strivings, and con- scious only of those human weaknesses which, through the gambling den, the saloon and the brothel, thrust themselves upon public notice in our ill regulated towns and cities. "Then let us record that there is the remedy of knowledge. We, none of us, north or south, know more than part of the facts and figures of the problem, least of all the southerner, who keeps no vital statistics and few official figures of any kind; hence there has been submitted to the president of the United States and rejected by him a proposal for a race commission similar to the Roosevelt rural life commission, which should mass the true facts as to Negro progress or retrogression and give us a real survey of the case as it is. It is the truth which sets us free, and, believe me, those who would befriend and defend the Negro are not in the least afraid of what a competent and unbiased race commission would find out. "Sir Sidney Olivier says: "If the race differentiation formula is held to (in the United States) it will doubtless in time bring about civil war. If statesmen face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will immediately attain civil peace, but I believe they will be traveling the only road toward it. I believe that negrophobia, unreasoning race prejudice, instinctive race prejudice, if you will, is a course of danger, because I see that a more wholesome and hopeful equilibrium has been attained in other mixed communities by the steadfast exclusion of all theory of race discrimination. Whatever mob prejudices may dictate, statesmen and educated observers cannot fail to recognize that the allegation of inequality, of superable race differences and degradation, is a sin against light that cannot fail to aggravate the disorders already distracting the south." "Destructive actions help not at all, and those actions which depress and set apart are destructive, not constructive. More than that, they insult and flout the Saviour, for they are directly contrary to the fundamental teachings of Jesus. When he said, 'Suffer little children to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven,' he did not say, 'White children only, please.' When he took up an erring sister to uplift her he did not say, 'White courtesans this way, black the other.' When he died for humanity he died for all humanity and not merely for the whites. "And so those of us who still believe in the Declaration of Independence, in the brotherhood of man—yes, in Jesus' teachings—can say with confidence to those spirits of the dead of Lincoln's day above us: 'Be of good cheer. Be not despairing. The battle is not lost—merely well begun. We fight on for you. We lay the wreaths of daily pleas for human justice, for national peace and honor, at your feet, and know them to be the most enduring and the best of monuments. As you faced bullets, so we who serve today in your cause of Negro freedom and the country's integrity cheerfully face misconception, misrepresentation, perhaps even calumny, and believe still that after our Wilderness shall come another Appomattox, glorious, radiant in the triumph of the principles of Garrison and Phillips—that is, of justice and liberty.'" United States Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota gave a general review of the situation as it relates to the colored race throughout the country. His speech was delivered with great earnestness and was a masterpiece in eloquence and thought. He said that he had nothing but contempt for any force that would keep humanity down, black or white. Senator Clapp said the question of justice or injustice to 10,000,000 Americans was a far more vital problem than any other confronting the people of this country. It is far more important than the one now being thrashed out in Washington, he continued. There is a question of foreign nations attempting to domineer the American people, while here it is a question of American people practicing domination against their fellow citizens because of prejudice of color. Strange though it may sound, yet it is true that today the negro encounters a greater feeling of prejudice than he did fifty years ago. The opposition is not to the man. It is to his progress and development. A new abolition movement is needed, and just as fifty years ago great men were risen to carry out the struggle for the liberty of the colored race so also now champions will appear in the lists in the new fight for freedom. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols in giving a general view of the work of the association said: "The object of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People is not revolutionary. In the largest sense we are seeking to make the United States a true democracy. Today the unequal distribution of wealth, the great amount of illiteracy, the growth of class consciousness and the large immigration of new people all tend to strengthen the bands of those in America who distrust the rule of the masses and seek to increase privilege and the concentration of power in the bands of the few. "But of all the social forces that oppose democracy none is so subtle and harmful in our opinion as the widespread prejudice against persons of Negro descent. The prejudice has grown and is growing. It is not more intellectual distaste for a type, for it obtains against persons whose Negro blood is imperceptible; it is not the ordinary recall from ignorance, for it obtains against educated men and is in a sense emphasized by their attainments; it is not the expression of one group against another which cannot make similar advancement or share a similar culture."
