Denver Star

The Denver Star has the Largest Circulation among Colored People. Get Wise and Advertise The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 38 Jacksonville, Fla., May 4. Sixty-eight colored people left Jacksonville for Monrovia, Africa, yesterday, enroute from Live Oak, where the colony was organized. After possibly two or three generations in the United States, they are going back like the children of Israel in olden times, to the land of their forefathers, where they expect to settle. GEN. VILLA IDENTIFIED EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVE Further proof of the accuracy of the report published in the Amsterdam News a few weeks ago, to the effect that General Pancho Villa, the brave and courageous Mexican Revolutionary leader, is an American colored man, is given in the interview below. Speaking of Villa, who is said to have started his career as a soldier, as a member of the famous and far-famed Ninth Cavalry, the Baltimore News says: "Spencer young, of Baltimore, is General Pancho Villa, the successful leader of the Constitutionalists in Northern Mexico. "At least, that is what Alfred Young, the colored pastor of Whatcoat Methodist Episcopal church, says. The preacher says also that he is Villa's brother. Likewise, he claims that the Baltimore-Mexican rebel leader has changed his name at least twice since he was officially christened in a little colored church near Cambridge, Dorchester county, in which locality he was born. "Born Spencer Young the youth assumed the name of Spencer Meyer when he enlisted in the Ninth Cavalry in 1889. Then he drifted to Mexico and became the Pancho Villa. At least that is what Rev. Mr. Young says, and he ought to know, being as he asserts, the brother of the arch foe of Huerta. "Until 11 years ago when his mother died at their home on Twenty-first and a Half street, Young says he corresponded with his brother, who was then at Tuxpan, Mexico, but the last letter he wrote was returned unclaimed. "He would buy soldiers suits, read everything he could lay his hands upon regarding soldiers, and when the first chance came for him to enlist he accepted it and joined the Ninth Cavalry. He was a warchipper of George Washington, and often made the remark that he would go to some country and be a second Washington." "The preacher wrote a letter to the Mexican General this morning, addressing it, 'General Francisco Villa Juarez, Mexico,' and beginning, 'My dear brother,' He says Villa has an interest in some property that Young's mother owned in Baltimore, and he is very anxious to get word to him. "We were of a family of four children," said Rev. Young. "We were born on a farm near Cambridge, Dorchester county. My father was a slave and ran away on a day he was to be sold. We heard nothing more from him. My grandfather was a white man. We moved to Baltimore in January, 1868. My brother and I entered the public schools and completed the course of public instruction, which was then only to the sixth grade." Many of the colored people in the party are quite well off. All of them have sold out their lands and possessions, and there is said to be a total of some $25,000 in the crowd, mostly carried in the forms of drafts. Thirteen of the crowd are children. Negroes Unprepared to Meet Conditions in Africa. Of the few American Negroes who have found their way to West Africa to settle in the Negro republic of Liberia 99 per cent are unprepared to meet the economic conditions and express regret at having left America. These excepting a few who cannot secure passage money, return to the United States. Some have been assisted by the American consul in securing passage on sailing vessels returing to America. Few, other than well-educated American Negroes, can accommodate themselves to the racial religious and economic conditions, the natives always considering them foreigners. Liberian Secretary of Treasury In New York The Hon. John Lewis Morris, Liberian Secretary of Treasury, arrived in New York Sunday May 10th on the Cunard steamer Caronia. He was met at the pier by Dr. Ernest Lyon, of Baltimore, Liberian Consul General, whose guest he will be while in this country, and Fred R. Moore former United States Minister to Liberia. Mr Morris comes to this country on important official business and already arrangements have been made for conferences between the State Department and leading financiers principally the banking institution of Kuhn Lob &Co. Mr Morris is the fiscal official in the new arrangement between Liberia and the European powers. He is a competent accountant and has received many flattering compliments from distinguished financier, in his own and other countries. The Liberian official has traveled extensively in Europe and is a student of public affairs. He stands for a new order of things in Liberia and has given evidence of his fitness and ability to lead the younger generation. The Rev. Dr. J. M. Reed president of the Caroline Donovan Industrial Institute will come to America with Mr Morris. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914 Odd Fellows Make Wonderful Impression. Sermon Greatest In Its History. Rev. R. L. Pope Covers Himself With Glory. A Thousand Eager Eyes View Procession. Dr. C. D. DeFrantz, of Young Lodge, Orator. Complete in preparation, and carried out in every detail, were the plans and arrangements of the Annual Sermon Committee of which Geo. S. Contee was the chairman. To him much credit is due for his harmoniously effected program so beautifully carried out. To the Master of Ceremonies, C. A. Burton, who also performed his part well, much honor is due. But to our Chief Marshal, Titus S. Rector, whose stately bearing and commanding personality too much honor and praise cannot be given. To him was the army of Households of Ruth, the Patriarchy, the Past Grand Masters' Council, the subordinate lodges and the little band of Juveniles, entrusted and well did he perform his trust. Hundreds silently bowed their heads in silent assent of approval and commendation when the Odd Fellows and the ladies and children marched by, holding high the standard of Oddfellowship. It was a grand scene. Everything was in its place and worked like clock-work. At Shorter church the Households of Ruth, with their beautiful and suggestive uniforms of Ruth's undying affection and loyalty and the innocent and happy Juveniles marching and singing "Onward Christian Soldiers," were such pleasant and happy features suggestive that every Odd Fellow and even the outsiders bowed a blessing upon the Order of Oddfellowship. Rev. R. L. Pope in a forceful, practical, plain sermon, reminded the Odd Fellows of their various duties along all lines, especially about keeping the standard up to the plane our forefathers set, and never muddy the water nor poison the stream which flows from the altar of Friendship, Love and Truth. He was royally and enthusiastically congratulated for the strong sermon given at the right time. The choir sang exceptionally well Sunday because of the Odd Fellows' inspiration. To leave out the select reading of our dear little and beloved Thyra Morrison of Juveniles 871, and the excellent paper of Mrs. Mary Evans, would be to omit the biggest and most impressive part of the ceremony. Dr. C. D. DeFrantz eclipsed all of his former literary efforts in informing the public of the uses and benefits of the order. His comparisons, illustrations, deductions from his arguments, showed careful study and deep research. He did well and was heartily congratulated. "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again," the old impressive, thought-filled hymn, was sung lustily by the old, middle-aged, young and even infant Juveniles with such ardor one was reminded that never again will all of that happy army meet on earth. Silently, reverently, yet happily the Odd Fellows marched to their hall, filled with great determination to uphold the banner so valiantly and steadfastly planted by Peter Ogden. COLORED BOY 10, GETS $190 A DAY. Cushing, Okla.—Running wild and irresponsible as a colt, little Dan Tucker, ten, a colored boy; lives on a rocky Oklahoma farm of 80 acres, ignorant of the fact he is one of the richest boys in Oklahoma. Little Dan often sings for his supper, but he doesn't have to. The month of March saw deposited to his credit $12,000 and every day he makes not less than $190. Dan is the son of James and Elizabeth Tucker, children of slaves of the Creek Indians freed by the Civil war. By virtue of a treaty made between the United States and the Creek Indians at Fort Smith, Ark., in 1866, slaves formerly belonging to the Creeks' and their descendants were given an equal share with their former owners in the government allotment of the old Creek lands in the Indian territory. And that is how Dan Tucker now owns 160 acres of land lying east of Cushing, Okla., in the heart of the newly developed Cushing oil field. The land was allotted to him in a supplementary division made by the government in 1905, and Dan had been enrolled as an eligible by his father. For years the land was reputedly no account. Two years ago, long after Dan's parents had given up hope of return from the land, the Prairie Oil & Gas Co. arranged a lease. Oil now is rushing out of that portion of Creek like water from a lawn sprinkler. Dan gets one-eighth of the gross proceeds from his oil wells and the Prairie Oil and Gas Co. does all the work and stands all the expense operation. German Protests Against Ousting The Negroes. Humane Treatment of the Natives Is Demanded. Berlin.—The secretary for the colonies has decided to send out a special commission to investigate conditions at Duala, the seaport of the German colony of Damerun in Africa. A storm of protest as arisen in the Germany against the alleged highhanded proceedings of the colonial authorities of Kamerun, who wish to dispossess the entire Negro population of Duala in order establish there a purely European quarter with sanitation and other modern improvements. It is claimed that this cannot be done so long as the natives with their wretched huts and other insanitary modes of life occupy a considerable part fo the ground needed for the white settlement. The Reichstag, which has been asked to appropriate $500,000 to compensate the natives, does not object in principle to dispossession of the Negroes, but members of the Budget Committee protest strongly against the manner in which dispossession heretofore has been carried out. The Negroes have declared that the colonial authorities gave them but a pittance of what their lots are worth and that Rev. David E. Over, Pastor Achieved New and Rev. David E.

Against rusting The Negroes. the Natives Is Demanded. the new site on which they were compelled to settle was a plague spot compared to their old homes. In difference to the public demand for a just and humane treatment of the natives, the colonies finally decided to have an exhaustive report made to him upon the whole matter. The commission which he appointed will proceed soon to Kamerun to hear the Negro side of the controversy as well as that of the local authorities. The friends of gentle and humane methods in the treatment of the natives are also pleased with the report that Baron von Rechenburg, formerly governor of German East Africa, has been nominated for the Reichstag in a district where he is sure to be elected. His administration in East Africa was marked by zealous efforts to protect the natives from all higd handed methods on the part of the German planters.

White carnations, the emblem of the day, were in evidence throughout the day. The Sunday School and League emphasized the day also. The annual Thanks-giving service of the G. U. O. of O. F. in the afternoon has been the subject of most flattering comment. Much credit is due Grand Master P. E. Spratlin, Master of Ceremonies Chas. A. Burton and Messrs. Geo. S. Contee, F. T. Bruce, T. S. Rector, Walter Cooper, C. S. Hall, R. M. Johns, and Mesdames D. H. Williams, Lillie Williams and Hattie D. Payne for the efficient management of the exercises.

Grant gave a most interesting and instructive address at Payne chapel Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. NOTES FROM CHEYENNE Mothers' day was observed at the A. M.

Services Rendered by the Pastor of the Historic Charles Street Church, In Boston, Along Many Lines of Racial Uplift—Able Author and an Influential Leader. Boston.—The African Methodist Episcopal church has furnished to the race a large number of aggressive young ministers who from point of scholarship and pulpit oratory stand in the front rank of all good movements for advancement. Among the leaders today is to be found the Rev. W. M. Thornton, D. D., pastor of the widely known and historic old Charles Street A. M. E. church in this city, which is the leading congregation of the denomination in New England. Dr. Thornton was assigned here about a year ago by Bishop Evans Tyree to succeed the Rev. W. H. Thomas, D. D., who is in Kansas City, Mo. He at once entered upon the work and has met with abundant success. For many years he has been actively engaged in doing good work for his church and race. Under the late Bishop William B. Derrick he was elected president of P W. M. THORNTON, D. D. Campbell college and purchased the present property for the school in Jackson, Miss., and erected the first building. It was under his presidency that the school took on new life and took the shape of a real college. He also served as educational commissioner for Mississippi four years. Leaving Mississippi, Dr. Thornton came north. His real worth was recognized while he was pastor in Wilmington, Del., where in 1905 his influence was felt in defending the rights of our people against a mob of lynchers, the first perhaps in that section of the country. He was the organizer and president of the American Negro League of Delaware, which rendered great service as a protective agency. As editor of Thornton's Magazine and the Philadelphia Liberator he showed splendid editorial ability, but because of pressing church duties he was forced to give up editorial work. Dr. Thornton's name will be among the authors who have contributed to the literature of the world. "The Negro In History" and "The Kingdoms" represent deep thought and portray the ability of the author. There are several other works of much merit by the same author. For five years Dr. Thornton was pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church in Philadelphia, which is termed the "mother" church of the denomination. for it was the first church organized by the A. M. E. connection. He is perhaps the only man who has remained pastor of Bethel five years in succession. He is now a member of the financial board of the A. M. E. church, representing the First Episcopal district, and is a life trustee of Wilberforce university. He has served as presiding elder in various sections of the country. He is the recognized leader of the Philadelphia conference. In everything that means advancement for the race he is to be found, being a member of the Constitutional league and the Pennsylvania Historical society. Let it be said to his credit that he was the first member of his race to graduate from the Drake university, Des Molnes, in. He received the honorary degree of doctor of divinity from Paul Quinn college, Waco, Tex. Dr. Thornton will go into the general conference in 1916 with the hearty endorsement of his district and a number of others from the episcopacy. He has won his laurels by hard work and study and is a credit to his church. Interesting Secret Society Event. Members of several secret societies and of other fraternal organizations attended the twenty-first anniversary exercises and reception of the Victoria Household of Ruth. No 836. Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, held at Sumner hall in Brooklyn, Friday evening. May 7. The organization is in a prosperous condition and is doing good work for the advancement of the entire order.

I wish you would call the attention of the Homesteaders of Colorado to the fact that since good land anywhere within one hundred miles of Denver is getting so scarce, that each homesteader must comply strictly with the law, as the land agents and land locators are watching all homesteaders very closely. If one is contested there must be some legal grounds for contesting and no one can enter a contest for fraudulent purposes if the homesteader is complying strictly with the law. Some of the Dearfield settlers are very slack in performing the requirements of the law, and if they should be contested they are liable to suspect that some of their enemies have reported them to the Secretary of Interior's office. Don't get angry then and complain but correct any errors now.. The U. S. Government has a method of obtaining the facts concerning its business and when a homesteader begins to prosper, then begins all his troubles, concerning his claim. If his land is no good he will probably not be disturbed. The government Land Office is on the third floor in the P. O. building and will gladly furnish any one at any time information required about a Homestead, free of cost, and all homesteaders should keep in close touch with the land office and not take advice from any other source as long as your homestead has not been proven up, as no other authority or power has jurisdiction. When a homesteader has proven up and filed his patent in the County Clerk and Recorder's office then the County, State and U. S. Courts have jurisdiction, and your attorney can then appear in a Homesteader's behalf, as property owner. You need to O. T. JACKSON, Agent. Good advice for the Homesteader who will wisely cut this out and paste in a conspicuous place. Don't be bashful or backward in writing to the land office in the P. O. building in Denver, they are there to help you, so if in doubt about anything, write them. HAS PROVED UP AT DEARFIELD. Pioneer Builder and Constructor, Mr. James Smith. Mr. James Smith and family arrived in Denver a few months ago after spending three successful years homesteading in Dearfield, Colo. Mr. Smith proved up 160 acres, February 25, '14, with all government requirements, and enjoys the distinction of being the first homesteader to file in the Dearfield settlement and is proud of his record. He has a large lake to cover ten acres of land and plenty of fish and lots of hunting in season together with implements to improve his land. Mr. Smith will spend this year in the city and is desirous of letting some man and his wife have charge of his place for the protection they will give to it. A nice living can be made and good fresh air and comfort are the inviting features. This should be an incentive to encourage health seekers, with the determination of providing future accommodations for themselves and advancing the race's interest.

Thomas, field secretary of the board of home missions and church extension of the M. E. church, who has been visiting churches and holding missionary conventions in the south and southwest, has received flattering receptions at every point which he has visited. He has spoken at churches and conventions and has everywhere deeply impressed the people by his eloquent appeal in behalf of the work which he so ably represents.

ITS WORK IS NATION WIDE Large and Influential Organization of Which Moorfield Storey of Boston Is the National President Continues Agitation Against Color Prejudice Oswald Garrison Villard Speaks. Baltimore.—The sixth annual conference of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held in this city for three days beginning on Sunday, May 3, at the Lyric theater, concluded its program with a post conference meeting at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church in Washington, Wednesday evening, May 6. Three sessions were held on Monday and Tuesday, and the speakers were among the most noted men and women in the country known for their liberal views on all questions pertaining to the civil and political rights of colored Americans. The conference has awakened great interest in the work of the association, which is not confined to any one section, but is nation wide. All the speeches were timely and delivered with forcefulness and zeal. The local conference committee was headed by the veteran pastor, the Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson. "Some Traitors to the South" was the subject of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard's speech delivered in McCoy hall, Johns Hopkins university, Tuesday evening, May 5. Mr. Villard in part said: "It has been asked of this Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Why do you come to Baltimore? Why do you not stay at home and mind your own business? Why do you visitors, mostly from the north, presume to tell us how to conduct our own affairs? We live cheek by jowl with this colored problem, the argument runs, and nobody who has not done this can know anything about it or its requirements or has any right to interfere in its solution. To this we have not one, but many answers, some of which I shall set forth. "Primarily, we are here because fair play and democracy, justice and hu- M. B. OSWALD GARRISON VILLAARD. manity all demand that some who are untrammelled by race antigonism, unaffected by any local prejudices, and free from the domination or the fear of any public sentiment shall speak their own honest convictions. This we do in the belief that truth alone prevails. "Why do we of the north boldly venture to believe that we can offer a solution of the race problem? Because the unanswerable argument of a trianic historical achievement is on our side. It was the north which solved the slavery problem, solved it in the face of a practically united southern public sentiment, declaring that the interlopers from the north were totally disqualified by reason of their remoteness from the problem, their ignorance, their prejudices and their prepossessions from dealing with this question. "Today in all the south there is not one person of sound mind who does not freely confess the folly of slavery, both on the score of economics and of morality; not one who would restore the system of Negro unpaid labor if he could. The wisdom of the anti-slavery minority in the north which, with the aid of military necessity, compelled Lincoln to his emancipation proclamation, has been justified of all men. "Yet we today meet on every hand the same old assertion of sixty and seventy years ago that the southerner alone is competent to work out the destiny of the Negro; that he is safe in the southerner's hands; that the south understands him and knows what is best for him and that all others should keep off and devote themselves to their own parochial problems. Well, I for one am willing, with one reservation, that the Negro in the south should be turned over exclusively to southerners for management and supervision, and that reservation is simply that I should be allowed to pick the southerners." Little Rachael Butler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Butler, 3029 Marion street, has just emerged from the bed after she has been ill with tonsilitis. Her many friends are delighted over her prospect. Mr. Wm. Glenn left for Great Falls, Mont., Sunday, May 10th. GOES TO THE B. M. C. IN BOSTON Dr. Paul E.

HITS SEGREGATION HARD. Opinion of a Northern Daily Paper on Race Separation. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle makes the following editorial comment on the killing of the recent segregation ordinance by legal process in Winston-Salem, N. C. The Eagle says: "We are glad to see the supreme court of North Carolina following the view of the supreme court of Maryland as to attempts of town or city authorities to lay out districts in which only white persons shall have their homes. Baltimore tried this and was beaten. Winston-Salem, in North Carolina, tried it and meets the same rebuke. The reasoning of each court is identical. "The right to lease or sell property to anybody who wants to rent or buy is an absolute property right. If it could be taken away by city ordinance then the United States constitution could be ignored with impunity. And if Negroes could be kept out of a given district then Prohibitionists, Baptists, Roman Catholics or men with blue eyes or men with red neckties could also be excluded, which is unthinkable. "No doubt there is in southern cities, as, indeed, in northern ones, an evil which the proposed ordinance might be expected to check. If a man owns a residence building and cannot sell it he may force a purchase by one of his neighbors or by a combination of his neighbors through leasing to a Negro family or making a good bluff at selling to such a family. "Color prejudice is unjust, narrow, absurd perhaps, but it is existent and is an element in reality values. The same sort of trick is occasionally worked by convincing neighbors that a turbulence hospital is going to take the property or that a livyerman is bidding high for it. "In any case what has been called real estate blackmail, even by nonpunsters, is disreputable, contemptible, anti-social. It always merits a ride on a rail, and sometimes tar and feathers would be more nearly adequate punishment. But organized society would be accepting a greater evil in the place of a lesser if it undertook to try segregation of livery stables or hospitals or Negro residences. "The jurisprudence of the southern states is kept on a high plane ordinarily, but we can see in such an issue a severe test for the judges in view of the proximity of Blease and the things he stands for in the other Carolina The judges are the more to be applauded for doing justice where dennagogy would have denied justice. They prove the value of an independent and nonrecallable judiciary." CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $150,000.00 Chicago, Ill., May 4, 1914. Union Health & Accident Co. Denver, Colo.

"Much credit is due Miss Jones for her successful musical program during the two years as director.

P.; music director of Polymma Musical Club of the bay cities; and an active member of the Alameda County Music Teachers' Ass'n, of which she is the only race member, besides the choir work. She is an accomplished musician and teacher, has taken post work at the University of California in conducting and chorus training, and her studio is located in her home, 1929 Linden St., Oakland. Miss Jones has not been with us long, but everywhere her charming manner has won the respect and love of all who know her." Such is the tribute paid our own Denver young lady by the Oakland Sunshine.

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

PRACTICAL RESULTS SHOWN With Limited Experience and Small Capital, Coupled With Common Sense, Groups of Members of the Race Have Wrought Wonders In the Realms of Finance. By RALPH W TYLER. Washington-On my trips through the country I was particularly interested in the conduct of banking institutions and insurance companies by Afro-Americans. Banking and insurance are usually regarded as possibly the two highest forms of business activity and requiring more care and financial acumen that any other forms of business. The chances of success in each are more limited and the possibilities of failure greater than in any other line of business. They are, too, the only two branches of business into whose mysteries the Negro has had no opportunity to become versed, since, with perhaps but few, rare and isolated instances, white folks and white insurance companies have afforded the Negro no opportunity to learn, have not employed him except as janitor, which position is so far removed from contact with the actual business operations as to make it impossible for one thus employed to gain an adequate knowledge of the business. How he has succeeded in mastering the banking and insurance businesses without opportunities to learn is almost as great a wonder as any enumerated in Mother Shipton's prophecies made several centuries ago. That he has learned the banking and insurance businesses, has developed them and is now conducting these branches of business with signal success consti- M. B. Geo. D.

Admission tutes one of the best possible answers to the statements by anti-race men that the Negro is an inferior race. Dr. W. R. Pettiford as Pioneer Banker. As I recall, Dr. Pettiford, president of the Alabama Penny Savings bank, was the pioneer Negro banker. He evolved from a minister of the gospel to a banker possibly because of having read so often in the Bible of the virgin who returned with 10 talents after having been given 5. When Dr. Pettiford established his bank at Birmingham incredulous white men did not regard it as serious enough to last and many colored men regarded it with distrust, as a sort of chateau en Espagne. Today a magnificent steel building is the home of that bank and over $500,000 in resources and regular annual dividends paid attest its wise and conservative management. Inspired by the success of this bank, other banks have sprung into existence in other states. In every city I have visited in which was located a bank or insurance company I made it my business to call upon each and ascertain facts about its establishment and its conduct, its assets and liabilities and the personnel of its officers. I was accorded every opportunity to get at the facts-to learn the real condition of the institutions at the time. There was no restriction as to how far I should go nor any reservation of facts and figures. Of the sixty-four Negro banks that have been established from time to time not over ten have failed, and of those which failed perhaps not more than two can charge their failure to fraudulent peculation on the part of officers. This speaks well for the honesty of the men who have controlled the colored people's money intrusted to these banks. The record of white bank failures shows a very much larger percent of failures due to fraudulent transactions of officers. The greater number of Negro banks that have failed can honestly attribute their failure to either the failure of some big white bank regarded as a financial Gibraltar through which they cleared, to stringency which made it impossible to realize upon good securities or to excessive loans honestly made on what was regarded as fair security. Percentage of Failures Very Small. And the record of failures of white banks shows a very much larger percentage of white banks going down either in good or in panicky times, than colored banks. Banking records also R. Chas. Burton show that, in proportion to numbers, in liquidating, colored banks that have failed have paid a larger percentage of their liabilities than have the white banks. This is indeed a splendid showing and a high commendation for the Negro as a banker. I have visited banks conducted and controlled by Negroes in Montgomery, Ala.; Tuskegee, Ala.; Birningham, Ala.; Jackson, Miss.; Indianola, Miss.; Memphis, Tenn.; Boley, Okla.; Mound Bayou, Miss.; Indianapolis, Ind., and Washington and Philadelphia, Pa. All appeared to be intelligently and conservatively conducted, and each had resources sufficient in excess of liabilities as to render them "safe and sound" and able to stand the most scrutinizing investigation by the bank examiner. With the increasing number of Negro banks being established and the safe and successful operation of those already established, an opportunity is be ing afforded young colored men to learn that branch of business for which the Chinese have been famed for centuries as the masters in the orient and the branch of business in which the Jew in Europe and America is almost in supreme control. New Chapter in Race Development. The entrance into and the success attained by him in the banking business constitute a chapter in the history of the American Negro so marvelously wonderful, so apparently utterly inconceivable, considering his opportunities to learn it, as to make it read like a bit of fiction from the highly imaginative brain of a Hugo, a Dumas or a De Manpassant. Still, banking business among Negroes is but in its infancy. The next ten years, under the lash of race prejudice and inspired by race pride and unity, many more banks will be incorporated, some with still greater capital. There are at least twenty cities today whose Negro population warrants the establishment of a bank. Equally surprising and gratifying is the success the Negro has made in the insurance business. How he has succeeded in this particular branch of business without previous experience, with a coach and even without the semblance of encouragement is really more surprising to white men than to the Negro himself. So substantial has been his success, so rapidly are colored insurance companies being organized that the big white companies are beginning to take them seriously, so serious as to contemplate a recognition of the race as administrative employees in some of their companies into whose SHERIFF F. T. Bruce business the Negro insurance companies are cutting. In Philadelphia there are at least three insurance companies controlled and conducted by Negroes making inroads on the big white companies and registering a high average of success. One of these was established a few years ago by perhaps a half dozen men, who each put in not to exceed $50 plus a lot of energy, sincerity and confidence, and today the company owns its own building and has resources sufficient to satisfy the stringent insurance laws of the Keystone State. One of the other companies had about the same beginning, and it, too, has been a success and is wisely and conservatively managed. Notable Advancement In Atlanta. At Atlanta, Ga., there is a $100,000 paid up capital company controlled and conducted by men of the race and two or three others, strongly established and efficiently managed, meeting every requirement of the state insurance laws. North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, the district of Columbia, Kentucky, Virginia and other states have chartered insurance companies successfully and profitably managed by colored men. Recently one of the companies operating in the District of Columbia publicly distributed over $1,400 in dividends to its stockholders. That the colored insurance companies are being profitably conducted proves the erroneousness of the claim made by most white companies that the Negro is a bad risk. The success which has followed the Negro incursion into the banking and insurance business constitutes an encouraging sign of race progress, proves the adaptness of the Negro for the two highest forms of business and clinches the argument of the Tuskegee leader. Is the Negro fitted to become a financier? His banks and insurance companies are the answer. In the Ministry Twenty-nine Years.
