Denver music lovers were acknowledged.
Denver music lovers were truly captivated with the classical program given them on Monday evening Aug. 3, at the Shorter A. M. E. church. The event being a farewell recital in honor of Mrs. Lillian Hawkins-Jones. The seating capacity of the main auditorium of the church was so fully taxed that tardy comers were obliged to either stand or be seated in conspicuous corners. Never has an artist at any of our churches been greeted by a more appreciating, enthusiastic and plauditory audience Presiding Elder Ward offered the invocation. Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell, Master of Ceremonies, proved himself fully qualified for the intellectual obligations required of him.
Shorter choir, with Mrs. Gertrude N. Ross at the pipe organ, sang praises of welcome to the delighted hearers When the Master of Ceremonies presented the artist of the evening, Mrs. Lillian H. Jones, in her gorgeous robe, the audience was wild with applause. Mrs. Jones was truly at her brist. No mocking bird could have excelled or abashed her at any time during the evening. All her numbers were heartily encored and Mrs. Jones with sweet smiles and no reluctance responded to each.
Miss Beatrice Thrashley, having struggled along with Mrs. Jones during much of their school days, being graduated from high school together, having also a musical education, was asked to addressed the people on "The Education of Negro Women." Her notice had been one of only a few days, but when one stops to consider that Miss Thrashley is turning out such musical artists as the little Misses Ames, we could not presume her to possess any other talent, but would say she did well. Yes, these Ames sisters, Hazel and Ruby are becoming wonders in the musical world. Their selection captivated their hearers. Possibly they too, will some day depart from Denver with high honors, going out to amaze the world with their musical talent.
In the symposium many of the pastors of the city, following Presiding Elder Ward spoke of the excellent work of Mrs. Jones in this community. The Revs. Randolph, Reynolds, Hazell and Pope voiced a sentiment for Mrs. Jones that was just and magnamous as she was liberal and impartial in her contribution to churches, societies, social events and to any cause that might have for its aim the elevation of humanity. Mrs. Nettie Phenix-Herndon both as accompanist for Mrs. Jones and piano soloist proved herself a real artist, her expert abitity was readily
The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1868
Mrs. Jones Sunday School Class, the Truth Seekers, with Mr. Wm. Bolden as teacher and Mrs. Inez Thorne president, deserve much praise for their well planned and beautifully executed work of one week in making it possible for such a mass of people to hear Mrs. Jones in farewell recital. Many of the pastors of the various churches gave hearty support to the effort and the public in general proved their appreciation of Mrs. Jones by their attendance and contributions, both in money and flowers. At the close of the program the Truth Seekers served refreshments in the Lecture room which gave freedom for social intercourse, at which time many of the friends of Mrs. Jones greeted her in person and made their contribution direct to her.
With no ticket selling, no canvassing. no solicitations, no door fee, and with only one week in which to advertise and one Sunday for church announcements and a silver offering at the close of the program, yet this was a joyful event, successful, both numerically and financially.
Saturday night, from 7 to 9 p. m., at the residence of Mrs. Geo, Washington, 250 South Pearl St., a tea shower was given Mrs. Jones, while another shower was taking place between the hours of 9:30 p. m. and 11 a. m., at the residence of Mrs. Nannie Watkins-Johnson. Campbell A. M. E. Church presented Mrs. Jones a purse of $8.00. Silk hose, toilet articles, money and other useful articles were among the many presents which were in abundance.
Mrs. Jones earnestly thanks the donors and the public in general. She left for Salt Lake City where she appeared Tuesday night, thence she goes to California.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUG. 15, 1914
SAVANNAH TO BETTER URBAN CONDITIONS.
In his address to the local branch, National Director G. E. Haynes of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes struck the key note of popular thought when he said that the two great unsolved problems for the charity workers of the day, are the economic problem of the masses and the child life of our people. Disorganized as they are, almost without yearning or ambition to improve their lot, the working masses of our people are in a chaotic state. Their crying need today is organization which will stimulate them to dignify the calling in which they find themselves with view to self advancement. In order to do this they must be encouraged, they must be advised by those of us who profess to have their interest at heart. What a great work is this for the local branch of the Urban League. Equally as perplexing and imperative of solution as the economic problem of the masses, is the problem of child life among us. It goes without saying that a large percentage of our growing young people develop abnormally from a moral point of view on account of a lack of the proper environment. Encircled as they are with all sorts of agents or agencies that savor of no good, too often do we find our young people drifting into channels of evil when a little supervision and attention on our part may cause them to drift in the right direction, another great field of endeavor for the Urban League and its fellow organizations, judging by the work already accomplished by the Urban League, we believe that National Director Haynes struck fertile soil in his talk to our people. Encouraged as they were by the presence and enthusiasm of National Director Haynes, we have no doubt that the Urban League will increase its future efforts in behalf of our people. It is our hope that the efforts of the League in the future as in the past, will result in much good for the masses of our people both young and old, in and about the city of Savannah.—Tribune.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 5. The funeral of Mrs. Sarah R. Tanner, who died at her home here. Sunday, was held at Union A. M. E. church, Wednesday, Aug. 4. The obsequies were largely attended. The deceased was 75 years of age. Her husband was Bishop B. T. Tanner, a retired prelate of the A. M. E. church. Two sons and three daughters survive. Henry O. Tanner, the painter of Paris, France, and the Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, Atlanta, are sons of the deceased.
Negroes and Jews Only Effected.
Must Show Their Pictures. New Civil Service Rules.
The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text or details. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person, but no identifiable features or context can be discerned.
MRS. LILLIAN HAWKINS-JONES.
Washington.—The new rule just promulgated by the civil commission, if adhered to will practically eliminate Afro-American and Jewish applicants from appointments to positions in the classified service, no matter how high may be their rating. This new rule requires that every applicant to take the civil service examination must furnish a photograph for identification in case of appointment. As it is, without the photograph, an Afro-American or Jewish persons cannot secure appointment if his racial identity is learned by the appointing officer in advance of his reporting to take the oath of office. Many a bright young Afro-American or Hebrew has been turned down, it is believed, because the appointing officer learned his racial identification after his certification to the office by the civil service commission. The photograph rule adopted by the civil service commission is nothing less than furnishing prejudiced officers with evidence to be used to discriminate against certain well-qualified applicants who have most successfully passed the examination required.
It is no secret there is a strong prejudice in government service against appointing Afro-Americans or Jewish men and women to clerical positions and positions requiring technical knowledge. The new rule of the civil service commission, making it necessary for applicants to furnish photographs of themselves will furnish prejudiced officials with just the evidence they have long desired when calling upon the commission for certifications. As it is now the appointing officer is furnished three certifications of names by the commission
Any one of the three he can select for appointment, and it is optional with him whether he selects the one with the highest or lowest rating. If he is not satisfied with any of the first three certified he can call on the commission for three more, thus giving him six names from which to select an appointee for a vacancy. If he is furnished photographs of the applicants it is a lead pipe cinch that in every case where the photograph indicates the applicant is of Hebrew or African extraction the applicant will be turned down, no matter if he has the highest rating.
One's rating in examination will not count against a photograph that establishes one's identification with a proscribed race. This new rule made by the civil service commission, is one of the most unjust rules ever formulated by a governmental bureau to eliminate from possible appointment men and women connected with the Jewish and Afro-American races. If the rule remains in force, or any rule that furnishes evidence in advance of one's racial identity, there will in all probability never be another Hebrew or Afro-American appointed to a position in the classified service of the federal government. The rule is an audaciously bold discrimination against Jewish and Afro-American citizens eligible to take a government civil service examination and presumed to be eligible for appointment after passing the examination, in order of their standing, without regard to their color, race, politics or religion, as the laws clearly provide.—Defender.

Washington Sun Praises Noble Woman.
In the current issue of the Crisis Miss Mary White Ovington gives an account of the earliest conception and organization of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which we commend fo our readers.
There is no nobler spirit in this great group of philanthropists and reformers than Miss Ovington. For years she has given of her money, her talent and time to the cause of Negro uplift. Her greatest book, "Half a Man," a sociological study of the Negro of New York, is a forceful appeal for justice, and should be read by everybody. And now we see her among the very first whose honor it has been to create the modern abolition movement that is now waging its militant fight for the complete emancipation of the Negro, She, with others, has suffered the loss of many friends for taking up this righteous but unpopular cause. The next morning after beginning her fight a wealthy Brooklyn editor, a friend of years, passed on the street and never spoke, but she gladly welcomed the loss of that friendship. She has received threatening letters from all over the South, and hostile criticism from the North for her attitude upon the Negro problem, but she continues in the even tenor of her way, going to her studio daily, with her colored lady-secretary, writing articles for papers and magazines, and striving in various ways to mould the sentiment of this country in favor of the Negro. The race owes much to this devoted spirit, this second Harriett Beecher Stowe—Mary White Ovington.
Crime to Slip a Man a Tip.
Two years ago they framed a law, down in Jackson, Miss. It passed the Legislature and came through somewhat like: "If some one tips a porter, or the waiter when he dines, both tipper and the tippee shall be liable to fines." Two years ago they made that law out there in Mississippi. O frugal State, O State of bliss for them who don't feel tippy.
A salesman hied him yesterday to Jackson's best hotel. The porter lugged his heavy trunks. The salesman wished him well. And so the guest, his trunk installed, smiled in his innocence—and reached into his jeans and gave the honest lad ten cents. "Bring on the sheriff!" all the town at once began to screech. They pinched the guest and porter, whom they fined five dollars each.
I two years the tipless law has run, yet here's the first arrest. No wonder Jackson pawed the air and fixed the fines with zest. How have the pauper porters lived, these meagre twelve montns through? What have they due when tires burst and income tax fell due? And is it not queer they all look fat, not bankrupt, and not weary? No tips in all these months-not one? But hush, the lawless query.

We thank the public for their kind patronage, also the consideration given us by the business firms of the city for their sign display, as well as the entire Progressive party for presenting their claim through their logical head, Hon. E. P. Costigan, and others who were speech makers Thursday night. The decoration was superb. The financial returns were pleasing to all the booth holders as well as to the church. Everybody turn out tonight. Sunday, Aug. 30th, the last big musicale by Morrison's orchestra will take place in lieu of the 5:30 p. m. services. A silver offering will be taken.

NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST
CHURCH,
Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St.
Residence, 2356 Humboldt St.
David E. Over, D. D., Minister.
The sermon-lecture for Sunday night is taken from our Lord's parable, "The Sower." This is one of the most searching lessons to be found in the teaching of Jesus. Do not fail to be present.
There has been no "summer slump" in Zion's attendance this year; both morning and evening services witness a full house. In many respects this has been the most remarkable year in the history of the church. The offerings are generous, notwithstanding the cry of "hard times."
The average attendance at the Sunday school this summer has broken all records. And especially is this true among the smaller children, who as a rule are a bit irregular during the hot weather. Brother Wallace is making this department so attractive that the children like to come.
The prayer meetings for the Sunday campaign began in earnest last week. These meetings will be held each Tuesday and Friday evening between 7:30 and 8 o'clock, during the month of August; afterward on the same days from 10:30 to 11 a.m. Our district is 32. Watch for the places of meeting in the daily papers and be sure to attend. Mrs. Over and Edna are having a pleasant time visiting the home folks in Kansas City.
The Mount Olive Baptist Mission at 38th and Blake streets has services at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Sunday school at 2 p. m. Rev. Washington will preach for us at 3 p. m. Sunday, Aug. 1 th.
A grand musical and dramatic recital will be given by the Central Baptist Choral Club, Thursday evening, Aug. 20th, at the church, 24th and California. Admission 10c.

The Dixie Line connects with the Central Georgia railroad at Alexander City, Ala.
Knights of Pythias Start New Lodge.
The Knights of Pythias of Georgia are steadily increasing in numbers, influence and usefulness as a secret order. Grand Chancellor Bolen recently set apart a new lodge in Arcadia, Ga., with twenty-one members. Endowment Secretary F. M. Cohen and other members of the order from Savannah assisted the grand chancellor in setting up the new lodge, which bears the name Dorchester.
Emphasized In Work of Dr. A. M. Brown.
How the President of the National Medical Association Has Increased Its influence and Usefulness Through Campaigns For Health Conservation Surgeon In Spanish-American War.
Birmingham, Ala.--The officials and members of the National Medical association express themselves as being highly pleased with the arrangements for the annual meeting of the association, which will be held in Baleigh, N. C., beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 25.
Dr. A. M. Brown of this city, president of the organization, is one of the most prominent men in the profession. He is widely known and has a rich and varied experience.
He was born in Raleigh, where the session is to be held. Unlike many men of the race who have made good. Dr. Brown had the advantage of having a good start in life. His parents are numbered among the early leaders of affairs along racial lines. His grandmother was one of the first colored women to teach school in Raleigh. Both of his parents are liv-

PRESIDENT A. M. BROWN. ing and celebrated their fiftieth marriage anniversary recently at Dr. A. M. Brown's palatial residence in this city, the celebration taking the form of a great family reunion.
As a student at Shaw university Dr. Brown had the double advantage of a private teacher. He is an alumnus of Lincoln university and prepared for the medical profession at the University of Michigan. Always abreast of the times in matters pertaining to his profession, painstaking and energetic, he has had a most successful career. With the exception of a few years when he practiced in Cleveland, O., and the time he served the United States government as army surgeon with the famous Tenth cavalry he has worked away in the heart of the south, serving his people, building up a reputation and altogether becoming one of the foremost practitioners and surgeons of the race.
It is largely through the activities of Dr. Brown and a few other eminent men of the profession in Birmingham that the colored people are able to maintain a hospital of their own, and to his energy and public spirit much of the growth of the State Medical association is due. Because of his well earned reputation and the whole hearted manner in which he has stood by the National Medical association for many years, at the last meeting of the association in Nashville, Tenn., he was elected president of the association.
During his administration he has done much through his public lectures and his writings for the conservation of Negro health and the prevention of disease. He participated in a conference on the conservation of health of national proportions at Tuskegee Institute, occupying the same platform with Dr. Oscar R. Dowling, president of the Louisiana state board of health; Dr. W. H. Saunders, president of the Alabama state board of health, and Dr. E. T. Bell, president of the Alabama State Medical association, attracting particular attention by the distribution of unique and serviceable health cards which were afterward used by Dr. Dowling and Dr. Meserve, president of Shaw university.
In pursuing his campaign for the conservation of health Dr. Brown more than any other president has placed the National Medical association before the people in a favorable light. He has appeared at the Georgia State college, Savannah, Ga., the feature of the annual farmers' conference; at the annual meeting of the Palmetto Medical association, Florence, S. C.; at the Alabama Medical association, Decatur, Ala., and the Georgia State Medical association, the tri-State Medical association, including the states of Alabama, Florida and Georgia, at which latter meeting he was elected state president. He also spoke at the Pan-Medical association meeting held in St. Louis.

FORECAST OF FUTURE PLANS
Large and Influential Secret Order Well Pleased With Progress Made Under Grand Exalted Ruler T. G. Nutter—Optimistic Outlook For Adjustment of Legal Matters.
By R. W. THOMPSON.
Charleston, W. Va.—The fifteenth annual session of the grand lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, which opens Aug. 25 at Norfolk, Va., bids fair to mark a distinct epoch in the history of that very helpful fraternity. The host of the occasion will be Eureka lodge No. 5 of Norfolk, one of the strongest subordinate bodies in the order, and the local committees are sparing neither pains nor expense to make the visit of the grand lodge to tidewater Virginia one that will long be remembered.
The storm center of interest lies in the contest for the office of grand exalted ruler. The policies that must govern the fraternity for the next two years will be determined almost wholly by the personality of the man named for the premiership at Norfolk. Last year, at Atlantic City, the body elected as grand exalted ruler T. Gillis Nutter of West Virginia, who has made a record that, in the opinion of the influential men of the order, justifies the action of the members at the last annual meeting.
In the year that Mr. Nutter has held the reins he has made and reinstated more lodges than any of his predecessors since the reunion of the Howard and Atkins factions in 1910. With "increase your membership and establish new lodges" as the shibboleth of his administration and by constant communication with his brethren there has been a general strengthening of the membership all along the line, some of the lodges gaining 100 per cent. Proclamations have been issued frequently analyzing conditions and suggesting valuable reforms, and business letters have received prompt attention.
For the first time a uniform memorial day was observed this year, and lodges heretofore without literature have been supplied. The rules and regulations governing district deputies have been circulated broadcast. For the first time in the order's history the grand treasurer and grand secretary have been bonded in the sum of $5,000. Mr. Nutter, a skilled lawyer, honor graduate of Howard university, has labored earnestly himself to correct the mistakes of legal advisers in the Dayton and other important cases involving the integrity of the order. He was not satisfied with the report at Atlantic City that the Dayton matter had been ably defended, but found upon investigation that not one question had been raised that would give the order a standing in any court, leaving practically no defense.
Discharging incompetent counsel, Mr. Nutter associated himself with two law firms and had the case reopened and at the rehearing gave the order a chance to defend the same on its merits, with excellent prospect of final success. He secured from the white Elks immunity from interference until the case is finally disposed of. That a cordial understanding now exists between the white and colored Elks was demonstrated at the famous harmony banquet at St. Paul, Minn., last March.
When called to a second term, as Mr. Nutter's friends are confdent he will be, the grand exalted ruler has a definite program of reforms that he expects to work out for the uplift of the order.
Mr. Nutter's career of splendid achievement is its own answer to the query as to how he has gained such a firm footing with the wideawake element of Elkdom. Locating at Charleston, W. Va., after finishing at Howard in 1899, Mr. Nutter was later admitted to the supreme court of appeals and soon built up a practice unexcelled by any lawyer of the race anywhere and won the entire respect and confidence of the bar and courts. He has appeared in every case of importance in his state in the past ten years in which colored persons were concerned. His practice has been almost wholly civil, with comparatively few murder and assault cases where public duty called him to lend a hand. Unassisted, he won two notable civil suits, in which $45,000 and $30,000 were involved.
Aside from the Elks, Mr. Nutter is active in many varied spheres, being useful and energetic in all of them. For six years he has been a member of the Third district congressional committee and has had charge of campaigns in Kanawa county for eight years. He has been urged to stand for the legislature and for prosecuting attorney by white and colored friends. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias, a Mason and a religious worker, organising the first Y. M. C. A. in Charleston. Public spirited to the last degree, he is always at the disposal of the churches and in constant demand to deliver addresses before various bodies in different sections of his state.

The Negro will be called upon to help redeem this state from a condition of anarchy; he will be urged to vote for those fundamental principles of law, order and good government which carry justice and equality as their concommitant. To do that the Negro must be prepared to act when the time comes. If he is not prepared or registered, then he is as so many dead cattle, sticks or telegraph poles, as far as the election is concerned. He is a nonentity. Therefore, my fellow voters and fellow citizens, the Star is urging you to do your duty and register. Why? We need to send a man to Congress who will vote down all kinds of Jim Crow measures introduced by the Southern Democrats. We want him to stand up and answer and let us look him over, and if he is not square, then let us try to defeat him. Register now and be ready for this campaign will be a "hot" one. An unregistered man or woman in an election is the same as a backboneless fish in a stream—a pitiable sight. Register.
MRS. WILSON'S DEATH
Every human being who has had death to come into their family or home cannot help but feel sad or grieved when he or she hears of death entering into the home of our neighbors or of our national officers. The president of the United States, by virtue of his position, demands certain respect and sympathy because we are his obedient citizens. Yet in the death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson the Negro lost no friend, but an eternal enemy to our rights, customs and usages. The Star recalls her visits through the treasury offices, and seeing black and white working pleasantly and agreeably side by side, Mrs. Wilson had an order promulgated that Negroes should be separated from the whites. In other words, "sheep to the right, and goats to the left," and this order resulted in the humiliating of hundreds of our noble and ambitious men and women because of separate toilet rooms, separate lunch tables, separate work tables and work rooms, separate wash basins, towels, wash rooms, etc. It was Mrs. Wilson, now deceased, who changed to the new order of segregation, and the Star feels sorry that President Wilson has lost his wife, and we are equally sorry that Mrs. Wilson, before she died, could not see through the veil and truly appreciate one of God's own ambitious children, working for the same goal her class was working for, and needing all the encouraging help and the least hindrance possible. In God's own wisdom, and for His reason, He laid His hand upon Mrs. Wilson.
The Denver Star has a story to tell. It represents the Negro and, we think, write and speak from the Negro's point of view. If a thing helps 99 people in the community and leaves the Negro out, The Star does not believe in that particular thing. We confess we are race conscious because we are forced to be so, for self-protection and self-preservation. The Star will try to represent only those things and persons that are helpful and favorable to the Negro and his interest, and if we are found opposing a man or measure, it is because The Star does not believe in it or him.
We are in receipt of the acceptance of the assembly designation of Mr. Adolph Unfung for the office of Secretary of State. Mr. Unfung is from Walsenburg, Colo.
The road to success is long and straight, and "crooks" who try to follow it always fall down at some point in it, and when they least expect it. Don't be afraid to be honest; it pays best in the end.

JOHN DANIELS AS AUTHOR.
Boston Man Tells of Our Early Achievements "In Freedom's Birthplace." "In Freedom's Birthplace" is the title of an interesting book by John Daniels of Boston. The author says, among other things, that in no part of the United States is the local history of the Negro race more interesting and instructive than in Massachusetts and particularly in the city of Boston and its immediate environs. The colony of Massachusetts bay was one of the first in America to practice Negro slavery in 1638. Massachusetts was also the first to abolish slavery in the decade between 1780 and 1790.
In Boston a Negro was the first martyr in the cause of American independence. Despite Washington's order against it, free Negroes were enrolled and served in the continental army at Cambridge, and excellent services were rendered in the Revolutionary war by a Negro regiment from Rhode Island and a Negro company from Massachusetts. It was a Negro soldier who shot Pitcairn at Bunker Hill, and he and some of his colored comrades are conspicuous in Trumbull's painting of that battle.
With these antecedents it was natural that the abolition movement should have its origin in Boston. At that time, it must be confessed, the Negro was looked upon there and throughout New England with a certain degree of disfavor. The attitude of Miss Ophelia in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was typical, and it was against this coldness of the nominal opponents of actual slavery that the movement for enfranchisement had to contend as much as against positive proslavery resistance.
In these circumstances Boston was the scene of some of the most celebrated fugitive slave cases, such as that of Latimer, which literally convulsed the whole commonwealth and made tremendously toward the development of the anti-slavery sentiment which in time possessed the state. The history of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts regiment and its chivalrous commander, Robert Gould Shaw, forms a brilliant chapter in the story of the civil war, and the burial of Shaw by the side of his Negro comrades beneath the blood drenched sands of Wagner formed a fitting sequel to the burial of Attucks in the same grave with his white fellow victims of the Boston massacre.
The follies and excesses of the re-construction era at the south reacted upon the north and caused a widespread revulsion of feeling against the sympathetic enthusiasm which had been aroused before and during the war, and the Negro race generally throughout the country suffered underserved discredit. Thereafter the Negro was forced back upon his own resources and was compelled to vindicate himself and to establish his own place in the nation. How he is doing this, particularly in Boston, is described in interesting and instructive detail.
WELL MANAGED LIBRARIES.
High Standard Set By Thomas F. Blue
In Louisville, Ky.
The work of the eastern and western
branches free public libraries for colored people in Louisville, Ky., is conducted by Librarian Thomas F. Blue along the most approved business lines.
The library staff consists of five persons, with three trained substitutes.
The library conducts an apprentice class for those desiring to enter library service. Applicants must have a high school education or its equivalent and pass an examination to enter this apprentice class. The class puts in three months' actual work in the library in all departments before students are placed on the eligible list for positions on the staff.
The work of the colored branch libraries of Louisville, Ky., is unique, and until recently there was nothing like it elsewhere. Assistants preparing for library work with colored people have been sent to Louisville from other cities for training. Louisville is to be congratulated on what she has done for the advancement of the colored people through library work, and Mr. Blue on the splendid manner in which he has carried out the policies of the "librarian."
HAVE PROVED THEIR WORTH.
Part Played by Colored Americans In Country's History Fully Told.
By JOHN H. WILLS.
Through the curse and degradation of slavery the Negro was debased, debauched and discouraged, retarded and retrograded. "The Negro In American History," by John W. Cromwell, is a grand effort in the right direction. In inspires, encourages and strengthens by its sincere presentation of many powerful influences and incidents that have worked for the good of this unfortunate people.
Seventeen chapters are given to a strong presentation and clear account of the part and place of the Negro in the making of American history - his influence, efforts, struggles and restrictions, his efforts to prove himself a man and win a man's place in this nation by his valor in war and his industry in peace, to prove to a stony hearted nation by deeds and sacrifices his worth and right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," that in the face of a constitution that may well be called a league with death and a covenant with hell he believed the spirit of the Declaration of Independence would prevail in this land.
Mr. Cromwell has the true historical viewpoint. He shows step by step the philosophical development of the forces of darkness and of light, the forces that hindered and helped until at the last page we see the broadening rays of hope and the diminishing shadow of despair. In discovery, colonization, slavery, the slave code, slave insurrections, some early strivings, the early convention movement, the Negro as a soldier, the Negro church, we have a series of historical masterpieces, a direct, concise and forcible showing forth of truth that must convince the most prejudiced, hearten and cheer the most despondent and enlighten the most dense, besides opening to the student and scholar endless vistas of speculation and research.
Had Phillis Wheatley been shipped to Virginia instead of to Massachusetts, what would have been her fate? I asked myself after reading the charming picture of her life and literary labors in the chapter given to her, the greatest woman poet of her century! "The feeling that the Negro was in all cases necessarily inferior" (page 160) has existed in this country, always and still exists, and rests in the hearts, sad to say, of many of our people. We must live down, work down, fight down, this feeling of inferiority in ourselves and the idea of it in the minds of others; must strive continually to overthrow the influence of centuries of degradation and ostracism.
Here is a book that will greatly help us, a grand monument of inspiration to those doubtful ones who fear their own powers and distrust the sincerity and ability of their people.
The book contains many fine biographical sketches, particularly Phillis Wheatley; Sojourner Truth, the story of a wonderful woman faithfully told; Paul Cuffe, the navigator; Daniel A. Payne, who cleared the weeds of ignorance from many a path and made more straight the way to God for many faltering feet; Henry Highland Garnet and Alexander Crummell, two brave men, foremost in the fight for God and the right, and for their people; Henry O. Tanner, the artist, who by the purity and power of his genius has attained to the heights of fame; Frederick Douglass, John M. Langston, B. K. Bruce, Joseph C. Price, Robert Brown Elliott, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington. These and more are faithfully and intimately placed before us in true, pleasing, well balanced picture. Mr. Cromwell had the good fortune to know many of the subjects of his sketches, and this gives to them the added charm of personality that decidedly strengthens them.
The world admits the equality of the Negro as a soldier and as an orator. Mr. Cromwell has pictured these two classes with absolute fidelity to the merits of each. But it is to those who labored in the gentler arts of peace, in the nobler fields of quiet endeavor that he has shown the greater skill in presentation. The inspiring efforts of unknown heroes, the sacrifices of those who toiled in the dark, who wrought and spoke no word, these he has shown to light in such manner that we admire them, bless them and hold them in loving memory.

MAKING HISTORY FOR HIS PEOPLE
TRAINED NEWSPAPER MAN.
Business League Promoter and Former Naval Auditor Enlightens Country on Material Advancement of the Race. Baptized With the Grace of Modesty. Virile and Well Informed.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
New York.—Probably no series of newspaper articles have attracted so much attention and have been more generally and closely read than those written by the Hon. Ralph W. Tyler describing the material advancement of the race in the numerous cities throughout the country which he has visited in the interest of the National Negro Business league. These articles are full of information not generally known. Indeed, they convey facts and figures about the advancement of the race which many of our people in the cities written about were ignorant of themselves.
The articles have also served to inspire many members of the race to engage in business and have inspired others to patronize properly those engaged in business. Mr. Tyler is a trained newspaper writer, with ability to write upon various topics with
A.
HON. RALPH W. TYLER.
equal facility. In the last year especially he has introduced to the reading public a large number of men and women who are really doing things of great benefit to the race. He has told more about the development and possibilities which lie within the race's grasp than perhaps any other individual writer.
Ralph W. Tyler was born in Columbus, O., and until he was appointed by President Roosevelt to the position of auditor for the navy, which he filled with great credit to the government and to his race, his life and work were spent in his native city, where no man of the race stood higher in the estimation and affections of the people of both races. Too busy boosting others, too intent upon telling what others of his race have done and are doing and too modest to boast of his own labors and achievements, beyond seeing his name at the head of articles he has written in commendation of others, only a limited number know of his own work, and he has never taken the time to inform the public of his labors and achievements.
As auditor for the navy Mr. Tyler enjoyed the confidence of the White House during both the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, and the number of men and women of the race whom he secured appointment or promotions for, it is claimed by his friends, exceeds the number any previous Negro federal official can point to. He, it is said by both white and colored at Washington who know, was always untiring in his efforts to help those of his race, and his activities were not confined alone to securing appointments and promotions. It is very probable that many of the race in Washington and in other cities employed by the government miss Mr. Tyler's influence at the White House.
I have frequently met Mr. Tytler and can say truthfully that his simple, unostentatious manner always impressed me with the fact that he preferred to stand aside and permit others to enjoy prominence while he simply lent his assistance. His letters, which have given him the title of the Frank Carpenter of the race, have become one of the great features for our newspapers.
Possibly one of the most illuminating articles written by Mr. Tyler was one on Boley. Okla., describing that wonderful town, which is owned entirely by colored people. This article especially has attracted the attention of the white press and has been the subject of kindly reference to and praise of the race. The articles on Boley, masterly and complete in their corroborative facts, focused the attention of thousands upon that progressive town of Oklahoma. It is such articles as those which Mr. Tyler is writing that the race most needs to detract its attention from handicaps to its opportunities.

NEW DORMITORY FOR BOYS.
James Hall Most Recent Addition to Student Quarters at Hampton.
Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton (Va.) institute, delivered the chief address at the recent laying of the cornerstone of James half, the new dormitory for boys. The money for the dormitory was given by Mrs. D. Willis James of New York city, widow of the late D. Willis James, a well known philanthropic merchant prince. Mr. James himself was a devoted friend of Hampton institute. Arthur Curtiss James, the son of Mr. D. Willis James, is a trustee of Hampton.
Dr. Friessell called attention to the love for Hampton which had been banded from father to son and which was now to find new expression in a modern four story brick, fireproof dormitory, which will accommodate about 175 boys. "James hall will be," to quote Dr. Friessell, "a school for Christian civilization." Here Hampton students will live lives of cleanliness and order. They will be taught the laws of health and will be helped in many other ways.
The ceremonies included the singing of General Armstrong's favorite hymn, "How Firm a Foundation," which was led by Major R. R. Moton, Hampton's commandant; prayer by Rev. Laurence Fenninger, associate chaplain at the school; address by William M. Reid, 77, president of the Alumni association, and by Sarah C. Fernandis, who has been of great help to her people, and benediction by Rev. A. A. Graham of Zion church, Phoebus, Va.
William M. Reid, the well known lawyer of Norfolk, Va., was invited by Dr. Frissell to speak on behalf of the graduates of Hampton, who had assembled to celebrate "alumni day." Mr. Reid said that Hampton illustrated the idea of a continuous growth and referred to its leadership in some important movements. He declared that the Hampton alumni have begun to realise that they are of value to their alma mater and that Hampton's friends will continue their loyal support in proportion to the good work that the graduates do.
Mrs. Fernandis of Baltimore referred to the evolution of Hampton from the days when some of the boys had to sleep in tents. She said that the laying of the cornerstone of James hall opens a new vista of hope for Hampton and the colored race.

A LESSON IN LOYALTY.
A business is a steamship bound for a port called Success. It takes a large force of men to operate this boat. Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty, but it is the price of every other good thing, including steamboating.
To keep this steamship moving, the captain requires the assistance of hundreds of people who have a singleness of alm—one purpose—a desire to do the right thing and the best thing in order that the ship shall move steadily, surely and safely on her course.
Curiously enough, there are men constantly falling overboard. These folks who fall overboard are always cautioned to keep away from dangerous places, still there are those who delight in taking risks. These individuals who fall off, and cling to floating spars, or are picked up by passing craft, usually declare that they were "discharged"—they say the captain or the mate or their comrades had it in for them.
I am inclined to think that no man was ever "discharged" from a successful concern—he discharges himself.
When a man quits his work—say, oiling the engine or scrubbing the deck—and leans over the side calling to outsiders, explaining what a bum boat he is aboard of, how bad the food is and what a fool there is for a captain, he gradually loosens his hold until he falls into the vast deep. Now, there is no one to blame but himself, yet probably you will have hard work to make him understand this little points.
When a man is told to do a certain thing, and there leaps to his lips or even to his heart the formula, 'I wasn't hired to do that,' he is standing upon a greased plank that inclines toward the sea. When the plank is tilted to a proper angle, he goes to Davy Jones' locker, and nobody tilts the fatal plank but the man himself. And the way the plank is tilted is this: The man takes more interest in the passing craft and what is going on on land, than in doing his work on board the ship.
So I repeat: No man employed by a successful concern was ever discharged. Those who fall overboard get on the greased plank and then give it a tilt to the starboard.
If you are on a greased plank, you'd better get off from it, and quickly too. Loyalty is the thing!—Elbert Hubbard.

SUMMER CONSTIPATION DANGER
ous,
Constipation in summer time is
more dangerous than in the fall, win-
ter or spring. The food you eat is
often contaminated and is more likely
to ferment in your stomach. Then
you are apt to drink much cold water
during the hot weather, thus injuring
your stomach. Colic, fever, ptomaine
poisoning and other ills are natural
results. Po-Do-Lax will keep you well
as it increases the bile, the natural
laxative, which rids the bowels of the
congested poisonous waste. Po-Do-
Lax will make you feel better. Pleas-
ant and effective. Take a dose to
night. 50c at your druggist.

Sends Ringing Message to Governor
Cole L. Blease From London.
‘The Rev. D. J. Jenkins, founder and
for twenty-three years president of the
Jenkins orphanage and reformatory
at Charleston, 8. C., addressed the fol-
lowing letter from London the latter
part of July to Governor Cole L. Blease
of South Carolina in reference to the
work of the institution which Dr. Jen-
kins represents in Charleston: -
London.
Hon. Cole 1. Blesse, Governor of South
Carolina, Columbia, U. 8. A.:
Honorable Bir:—It is sympathy and pity
that 1 have for the little waifs and out-
casts of my race that forces me to write
you these few lines In their bebalf. You
are the headlight of South Carolina. To
you the-humble Negro must look for help
‘and comfort, and I cannot help but be-
Neve that if you are called upon in the
right spirit you will do your part in his
reform. In your many ‘messages .to the
South Carolina legislature end, above all.
in your Virginia speech before the con-
ference of governors, when you quoted
the words of Jesus Christ whea he sald,
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one
of the least of these, my little ones, ye
have done It unto me," thix quotation was
made by you in behalf of the many crim-
inals who were pardoned by your big and
Mberal héart.
‘These expressions have never gone from
me, and as L went through Dr. Barnar-
do's home for orphan and destitute chil-
dren, caring for 9.00) boys and girls here
In London and vicinity; George Muller's
‘orphanage in Bristol, caring for more
than 1,80), saying nothing of the Seamen's
Orphanage in Liverpool with tts thou-
sands. noting the great Interest manifest-
in thelr behalf by the leaders of the
country, my lieart was deeply moved,
and I ‘thought of South Carolina and
what If It were to back me in the work
to which I have given the best labors of
my life for twenty-three years. What
would ‘be the result? I am troubled in
my very soul when I see the provision
made for these many children and think
of the hard, single handed struggle 1 have
had to xo through for all theso years to
save the boys and girls of my race Be-
fore day thin morning the above quota-
tion made by you rang in my ears, and 1
thought that if the criminals were worthy
of this expression from you how much
more aye u little boy and girl left on the
cold chariy of the world entitled to your
sympathy!
‘The walvation of the south between the
white and the black man lles In the care-
(ul traiming of the little colored boys and
xirls to become honest, upright and in-
dustrious cltizens. It was never intended
by our Lord and Savior Jesua Christ nor
by any law of God that children should
be failed or put into the penitentiary for
trivial offenses. The achoolroom and rod
are better masters for thelr training. As
I went from ward to ward in the institu-
tions and saw how the destitute children
were provided for and what they are be-
ing taught I looked heavenward with a
tear dropped here and there for my race
in South Carolina. I am interested in the
little boy and girl, because I believe that
in their being trained we will have peace
between the races.
‘Over ten years ago there were G5 juve-
nile criminals in the state penitentiary,
which Im called a state reformatory: sim-
ply because |t separates the boys from
the men. Last year I mave a visit to the
Lexington penitentiary for little boys,
where there were S81, and I have been
very much burdened ever since, because
I believe every one of these boys should
be saved and not be allowed to grow up
fm hardened criminals. I would to God
that you should have another vision and
‘open the door and turn out every juve-
nile criminal, send them to the county
from which they came and let them bulld
reform schools and teach thone boys to be
honorable and industrious citizens instead
of criminals. If you will do this, sir, you
will be called blessed by nations born and
unborn.
Teaching the Negro to read, to write
and to work is not going to do the white
man any harm, The Negro who has
worked harm Is not the one that has been
taught in head and hand; It is the ignor-
ant Negro who has not been trained to
make a living, and it is the Negro whose
head has been taught and whose hands
have been left untaught. I have faith in
the Negro it he is taught to work. I am
convinced that if within twenty-three
years I have been able to train 2.00 boys
land girls and have made something of
them much more could be done if I had
the backing of the governor and lawmak-
ers of my state. I can point out boys
that are good hardworking citizens whom
I have taken from the lowest dives, 1
have my band here with a party of twen-
ty-elght inmates from my orphanage em-
ployed by the Anglo-American Exposition
company for ten weeks. They were #0
Pleased at thelr musical talent and or-
erly conduct that when the ten weeks
were up they persuaded me to leave them
until the close of the exposition; that they
would take good care of them and sen’
them back to South Carolina.
‘They said to me, if I could not stay, to
go back to my institution, and they gave
me a ticket to South Carolina to carry on
the good work among my race. Nine of
the councilmen of London called on me
yesterday and congratulated me on the
work Iam doing for my race. I fee! much
encouraged and believe that if boys taken
‘from the depth» of the lowest dives can
be taught and trained in such @ mauner
as to gain the respect of the people of
England how much more can be done if
the governor and lawmakers of South
Carolina would simply co-operate with
me! If I have said too much please par-
don me, but I write you because I am
{nspired and trust you will receive this

HON. GEO. W. ALLEN, THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
1930
Geo. W. Allen, the present district judge of division one of the city and county of Denver, is a fair and square man all the way around, all the time, and upon each and every occasion. He has had more experience than any other judge upon the bench, he having served the people about twenty years. He knows Colorado and her various conditions—an erudite, painstaking judge who at once gets at the kernel of every law suit. His various labor decisions, pure food decisions, show him to be a friend of the poor man. His scale of justice never looks up to see the color of a man's skin, nor the texture of his hair, nor attempts to ascertain his religion or race, nor his financial condition before it operates. His past actions justify you voting for him in the primaries. Vote for your friend.—Adv.
T. D. Foster
A MAN WITH THE PUSH
M.
Candidate For Democratic Nomination
Resolution unanimously passed at Teller County Democratic Assembly, July 25, 1914:
To the Democratic voters of Colorado we heartily commend T. D. Foster in his candidacy for the nomination for state auditor. During his many years' residence in Teller county he has proven his worthiness as a citizen, a high standing as a business man and a splendid capability as a public official. He has the unqualified confidence and respect of the citizens of Teller county.
FOSTER FOR STATE AUDITOR.
The friends of T. D. Foster of Victor, in this county and throughout the state, have determined to push him as candidate for state auditor before the Democratic assembly and the primaries. Mr. Foster has resided in the Cripple Creek district for eighteen years and has always been prominent in politics and as a business man. Starting as a plain miner, he has by flexibility and application become one of the leading business men of Teller county. For years, as alderman of the city of Victor, he was always regarded as the financial safeguard of the city. Mr. Foster served two terms as county assessor, in which position he made a most enviable record. During all that time he was chairman of the State Association of County Assessors, to which position he was elected soon after becoming county assessor. He soon became known throughout the state as an authority on taxation and it is due to his efforts, more than those of any other man in Colorado, that scientific taxation is so prominent in the public mind.
Indeed, legislative committees, as well as two governors of the state, have largely relied on him for advice in this particular. He is an excellent accountant, as well as a business man of high order, and is superbly qualified to discharge the duties of state
auditor. The legislature of 1913 selected Mr. Foster as one of a committee of three to audit the books of the state auditor and treasurer, and the report of this committee is said to be the most complete and exhaustive of its kind.
His activities in behalf of the Democratic party and as a leading tax authority have given him a wide and popular acquaintance throughout the state. Genial, popular, competent and deserving, his friends predict his nomination and election.—Cripple Creek Times, June 12, 1914.—Adv.

such an extent that the occasion reminded one of a lively, fun-making set of college boys and girls. The best of order was maintained, not a cross word spoken. The club covered itself in glory and everybody was singing its praises the past week. The R. M. A. C. has reclaimed her reputation of old for giving good-time, lively entertainments fuall of good and quiet sport.
The Dearfield Agency is now under the management of The Colored American Loan & Realty Co., who will make an honest effort to close out the Dearfield townsite and settlement in one year from date of July 4, 1914, the time limit, according to contract, to place every lot and tract in the colony with colored people. But if we find that it cannot be sold to colored people by that time, then we shall have to open it for sale to anyone who may desire to purchase, regardless of race. The transfer of the agency to the above named company was made because of the pressing demand made upon Mr. O. T. Jackson that takes all of his time at the Capitol. We wish to establish in this very desirable district a creditable Negro settlement that shall be governed by themselves exclusively. This land is located in one of the most fertile valleys of the state and is provided with excellent opportunities in the way of railroads, water, soil and climatic conditions. This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate our ability in handling municipal affairs, as well as to lend a helping hand in the development of the state. Mr. Harris, the state land appraiser, just returned from the settlement with a most excellent report of the progress that is being made by the farmers in general. Now is your time to buy, as this land will never be any cheaper.

INFECTION AND INSECT BITES
DANGEROUS
Mosquitoes, flies and other insects which breed quickly in garbage pails, ponds of stagnant water, barns, musty places, etc., are carriers of disease. Every time they bite you they inject poison into your system from which some dread disease may result. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment. It is antiseptic and a few drops will neutralize the infection caused by insect bites or rusty nails. Sloan's Liniment disinfects cuts, bruises and sores. You cannot afford to be without it in your home. Money back if not satisfied. Only 25c at your druggist.
