Ross, Law Student of Michigan University Wins First Prize In Second Annual Oratorial Contest at Detroit. "Efficency In Service" His Subject. that others do unto you;" for a just, "God hath made of one blood all the nations of the earth," and there shall be: "Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men." The problems involved in this evolution of customs will be worked out with scientific foresight, reason and justice, not in any turbulent assembly amid shouting and clapping of hands and stamping of feet, but will be worked out in the churches, in the schools and in the homes of ninety millions of American citizens. These problems will be worked out as the American people have always solved difficult questions of duty. They will be worked out right. This is the day of efficiency—doing common things in an uncommon way—bettering the the ordinary methods, cutting out false notions, saving wasteful leaks, reducing time consumed in production, and at the same time bringing a higher wage and a larger output to the individual who acquires efficiency. In social life, in industrial life, in commercial life, in religious life—wherever a maximum of good can be derived from a minimum of time, effort and expense—efficiency—Efficiency in Service is the insistent demand. This is an age of engineers—of men who build, reflect and look ahead—of men who labor with brain and muscle, who get busy and keep busy, who bring results. The New Negro is a Race engineer. He is taking the common and baser elements of his people, and in the school, the church, the lodge room, the Y. M. C, A., the Y. W. C. A., and the Brotherhood, is moulding them according to the dream of his soul. And everywhere there is arising before you types of beauties of the Race that seem to be something more and greater and grander than the people out of whom they originally sprang. The Negro is finding a new Race consciousness. He is building Race pride. Higher education is revealing to him a greater feeling of civic and he is feeling his immense value to the nation as a whole. The modern fight of the individual is to be judged on his merits and not saddled with the sins of a class for which he is not responsible. Therefore, we must work to secure a broader economic opportunity for all men, so that each man shall have a better chance to show the stuff of which he is made, and no man shall be denied, and bear a hindered hand. Efficiency in Service alone is the remedy that offers this relief --- State historian & Mark ural History Society Albert F. Ross, formerly of Colorado, brother of the Editor of The Denver Star, now a student of a five year law course at Michigan University, is again enlivening things down east in Michigan. Friday evening Aug. 28th, the 2nd Annual Visiting Students' contest for the Judge Alfred J. Murphy Cash Prize was conducted at Bethel A. M. E. church in Detroit. More than fifteen representatives from Howard University, Fish University, Wilberforce, Meharry Medical College, Lane College, Atlanta Baptist College and Lincoln University of Philadelphia participated. Albert Ross captured 1st prize; John Moore, 2nd prize; Asa White, 3rd prize. All these winners represented Michigan University of Ann Arbor. The subject of Ross' oration was "Efficiency in Service" and was as follows:- There has arisen in this country a popular demand for a change in conditions, social, economic and governmental as relates to all dark Races that reside amongst us. Men in public life and even private citizens disagree upon the issues involved. Personalities are indulged in, bitter feelings are engendered and bosom friends of yesterday are bitter enemies of today. The question is whether or not a cosmopolitan American people are capable of ruling themselves, or are gradually drifting selfishly toward one man rule, one Race - rule, or the rule of a privileged few. Is America big enough in heart and intellect to rise to its opportunity, and hold the leadership of world democracy? This is the question for the present generation to consider and decide—Shall provincialisms prevail? The advance of civilization has brought about closer and and more delicate relations between the people of the globe. The world standard and criterion today is efficiency-efficiency regardless of Race or color-social efficiency, industrial efficiency, commercial efficiency, political efficiency and religious efficiency. The lesson of the hour is to put an end to Race intolerance, mischievous ignorance and selfish greed. America, alone behind all others, must put under foot its cowardly slavery to color prejudice, and expand itself into the richness, and sacredness and power of a higher organic life. There must be a uniform world peace and world order-a universal conformity to the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as ye would DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 12, 1914 The great cry in modern life is conservation—conservation of human energies, conservation of our boys and girls, the elimination of wasted talents, the redirection of misspent lives, the recovery of lost motion. Our watchword should be conservation by prevention-prevention of idleness by open doors to renumerative employment; prevention of disease by building sanitary homes and healthy bodies; prevention of crime and godlessness by spreading the Gospel of our big brother, Jesus Christ. The Negro wants to be decent, useful and self-reliant. He wants to be his own master politically. He wants to be educated and his children trained. He wants to live in clean, beautiful and uplifting surroundings. He wants to grow. He wants to find a way or make one. Our enemies say, "We must curb the rising spirit of the black man. We must keep the Negro down." So, said the dominant English peers in regard to Ireland, in regard to the American Colonists, when they were seeking to develop their highest economic efficiency. In a common country where the children of the slave attend the same schools, read the same books, sing the same songs and pray to the same God, their liberty-loving spirits are the same outgrowth of human nature as any others, whether the result of environment or of choice by natural selection. This brain, this brawn, this energy, this harmony with our institutions, our language and the soil should rather be utilized for the future growth and development of the whole than surpressed in jealous rivalry. Every enlightened tendency the world over today is to uplift the former serfs. Why should not America do likewise with the offspring of the slaves? The world is moving forward. The era of Brotherhood is upon us. Fraternity is the great panacea for ills among men, among nations throughout the world. With the passing of the present European conflict there will come a better understanding a sense of closer kinship among the Races of the world. The will of God is summoning men to war, and through death, blood and tears the pleading voice of Jesus Christ leads on to higher ground. He's true to God who's true to man Wherever wrong is done: To the weakest and the lowest, Whose love of right is for themselves. themselves, And not for every Race." The abolition of the widespread color line must be wrung from the grinding necessities of a reluctant people. That necessity will be occasioned by the phenomenal growth of our Southern states through the benefits of the Panama Canal. The wisdom and moderation with which the changing customs must be effected has a potent influence in educating the people to more fully recognize that necessity and respect the power and value of the children of slaves. The clouds and barriers of our day are passing. Already a body of public opinion is being formed that is steadily making itself felt, and in the end will transform and be transformed by the economic efficiency of the individual Negro. A young Negro needs to be trained and prepared. He needs to learn the value of Efficiency in Service—in the household, office, factory, in the shop, on the farm, in the hotel, in the club house—wherever a saving of time, expense or energy can be effected. He needs the personal touch of friends of the Race, that he in turn may extend the personal touch to the unreached masses of his people. Tonight the offspring of the slaves are before me in the silent hall of American Justice. You, my friends' are the humble lights who looking up longingly for an unrestricted pathway—an undenied opportunity in this country. Patiently and peacefully you await the slow awakening of the national conscience and the full realization of your rights as citizens of this great commonwealth. On your one side at the Bar argue the forces of ponderous might, mischieyous ignorance and withering prejudice, on the other side contend your friends with reason, humanity and justice. Greater America, Posterity and the World's Universal Peace are the interested witnesses waiting patiently at the doorway. God Almighty, the arbiter between men and nations, alone is the Judge You, men and women of a rising Race, are both defendant and jury in this case. The decision is within yourselves. What shall the verdict be? Let it rather be in accordance with the historic patriotism, the moral courage and the industrial activity of our forefathers, and not a cowardly surrender to the obstacle in our pathway. "Let us each be up and do Have a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing Learn to labor, and to wait." Efficiency in Service has made us, individually and as a people, all that we are today. Efficiency in service improved and multiplied will make us all that we hope to be. Colored doctors of California have organized a state medical association with head quarters in Los Angeles. The project of building a hospital is being discussed. GOES ON WAY REJOICING Pittsburg, Pa.—There are some men who sao they will not join the Masonic fraternity until the time arrives when white masons will recognize colored masons. But a case occurred here in Hamilton county quite recently which knocks all such arguments and excuses into a cocked hat. It so happened that a colored man name Robt. Doughty, who hails from Scotland, where he is a member of a masonic lodge, was in this country in quest of work. While waiting for something to turn up, his purse became depleted. So he applied to the Relief Committee of Hamilton county, (white) and that committee responded and sent him to Cincinnation his way to San Francisco, where he says he is sure of getting permanent employment.—Philadelphia Tribune. The Defeat. Some narrow politician made an attempt to pass a bill through the Georgia Legislature which had for its object the preventing of white teachers from teaching in colored schools. The bill, we are glad to say, failed just as the bill with a similar object failed to pass the South Carolina Legislature.—The Age. Plea is made to Elect Negroes to Congress. Philadelphia, Pa.—Woman suffrage was indorsed, and a plea for representation in congress of the 10,000,000 Negroes in the annual address of Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention, at the opening session of the organization here. More than 5,000 delegates from nearly every state in the Union are attending the convention. Detroit Free Press, a morning daily says:— "Visiting Negro Students held an oratorical contest at Bethel A. M. E. church Friday night for the Judge Alfred J. Murphy prize. More than 15 representatives from southern and eastern schools competed. First prize was awarded Albert Ross, second to John Moore, and third to Asa White, all of the University of Michigan." New Weekly Paper at Asbury Park. The People's Recorder is the name of a new weekly paper recently started at 1514 Springwood avenue. Asbury Park, N. J. It is neatly got up and looks prosperous. It has a good field, in which to circulate, and the National Negro Press association welcomes the Recorder to its membership. Fined For Violation of Its Contract. The latest report on discrimination by a railroad against its passengers on account of color comes from Hopkinsville, Ky., where it is said a fine of $500 was charged up to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company for not providing equal accommodations for white and colored passengers, as stimulated in its contract. FIVE CENTS A COPY. RACE PRESS SHOWS COURAGE Editors Denounce Segregation as a Menace and Demand Fair Play. Muskogee, Okla.-Before adjourning its annual meeting recently held in this city the National Negro Press association unanimously adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, The members of the National Negro Press association are in a position to give to the public such information as to what the race is doing along industrial, intellectual, moral, political and spiritual lines, and whereas the clergy are in a position to give great encouragement to our cause, we call upon each of them to help us in preparation by instructing their congregation to read race newspapers, magazines and periodicals and pay for them in order that we may conduct our publications on a higher business standard; and Whereas, There are but few white papers that publish the facts of the progress of our race, and that as the Negro paper is the only medium through which we may receive due credit; Be it resolved, That we beseech our educators and fraternal organizations that they insist that Negroes support the journeys of their social and political rights, realizing that to do so means an outlay of time, energy and money; and Whereas, We find that the accommodations for Negro passengers on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, in the state of Oklahoma, are unequal to those granted the white race—that the fare for both races is equal—that the conditions in the "jimcrow cars" are as follows: One toilet for both sexes, poorly ventilated; badly lighted and insanitary cars; no smoking accommodations except among military personnel; their general equipment much inferior to those "for white people only"; and. Whereas, The officials of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway permit their employees to violate the laws of the state and nation in that they allow these indignities to be forced upon us. Be it resolved, That we, the members of the National Negro Press association, resent this treatment on their part as a badge of inferiority placed on our race, a curb to our highest ambitions, an insult to our womanhood, a reflection to our manhood and a denial of our human rights in direct violation of the laws of the Oklahoma and the constitution of the United States. Be it further resolved, That we condemn the interstate commerce commission and the state railroad commission for allowing such conditions to exist; that it is unfair to exact the same fare of the Negroes as of the other races and deny them equal accommodations, and to force them by rules of the company, not by laws of the state, to be treated much worse than cattle. That we especially commend the action of Editor Philip H. Brown of Hopkinsville, Ky., who led a successful fight against the police who led a law enforcement coach law by railroad officials who did not provide equal accommodation in separate coaches. We recommend that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the officials of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, the members of the state railroad commission and the interstate commerce commission. Be it further resolved, That we denounce all "jimcrow laws" and class legislation, segregation of government employees and dischristening; that we make a special protest to and advocate the treatment of Negro passengers in the southern states, and that we do so publicly and fearlessly—not tacitly and subserviently—knowing that it is our duty to do so regardless of the adverse arguments and policies of many of our leading Negroes, realizing that—He who would be free must himself strike the first blow. Resolved further. That we extend our thanks for the publicity given our meeting by the Muskogee Daily Phoenix, for the courtesies shown our delegation, whose request that the letter "N" be capitalized in the word "Negro was granted; also to all other members of public for valuable services rendered. Resolved also. That we express our thanks to the people of Muskogee for their cordial welcome extended us, also to the National Negro Business league, the Oklahoma State Business league and especially to the Muskogee Business league for their arrangement and hospitality, under the supervision of Hon. T. J. Elliott and his able assistants, who made the meeting a success. Be it further resolved. That we invoke the divine blessings on each and every member of our association and on the human race, returning thanks for all opportunities accepted and all privileges granted. NICK CHILES, Chairman. MISS IDA M. BECK. CHARLES SUMNER SMITH. THE FIGHT AGAINST RACE SEGREGATION CONTINUES. The race segregation ordinances, enforced rigidly for some years in many of the cities and towns of Virginia, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide in a recent issue, are challenged as unconstitutional. Municipal laws prohibiting Negroes from living in the same residence blocks with white citizens are for the first time under fire in the supreme court of appeals of Virginia. The fight to have the segregation ordinances annulled as contrary to the constitution of the state of Virginia and the constitution of the United States has been inaugurated in Ashland, Va., where Negroes have been excluded from residence blocks where white people are in the majority since 1911. The preliminary move in the fight to eliminate race segregation resulted in a first victory for the opponents of the segregation law when the supreme court granted a writ of error and supersedeas in the Ashland case.

DUMAS Worked His Way Up From the Bottom. MAKING GOOD IN BUSINESS. Brief Account of How a Country Boy Qualified Himself For His Chosen Profession—Mastered Difficulties as a Student and Is Doing Real Constructive Work as a Business Man. Natchez, Miss. — Training, industry, thrift, politeness and energy are the factors which won Dr. H. J. Dumas a place in the hearts of the people in this part of the country. He is considered one of the most successful business men among our people in this part of the state. His success should be an inspiration to many boys who go around with their heads down declaring that their race or color operates against them, Color, hair or race never yet made a man and never will. The use of the mind, its training and the ability to master conditions are what count for something in this busy world. Henry J. Dumas was born in Houma, La., a country town, in 1875. He went to the parish school, where he got the foundation on which to build his future education. When he had finished at the parish school his parents sent him to the Houma academy, from which he graduated in the spring of 1896. He declared then and there that he was going to make the world know that he lived in it, and thus far he has made good. Holding a diploma from an academy did not mean that his student days were over. He wanted a trade or profession. He taught for a year in the public school at Houma and then entered the Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tenn., in the fall of 1808. He was among the first students in pharmacy. He had registered a declaration that he was going to lead his DR. HENRY J. DUMAS. class. "I am going to be a first class pharmacist," he said, "or none at all." He laid aside society and never sought a good time with the boys, but found pleasure, enjoyment and comfort in his studies. While he did not feel that the world was standing still waiting for him, yet he felt that there was a place in the world which he could fill. In March, 1901, Dean George Hubbard handed young Dumas his diploma, showing that he had finished the course as laid down by the faculty and in keeping with the laws of the state, and he was then prepared to commence his active work. With a smile, standing with the other members of his class, he thanked the dean, and the next day packed his trunk and started for Mississippi. He heard that the state medical board was in session, and he felt that he should let the board know that he wanted to practice pharmacy. To him the examination was but a toy, so to speak. He passed it with ease and was commended by the members of the board. He soon afterward opened business in Natchez, and the people flocked in to wish him success. He was polite, courteous and willing to answer the many questions put to him by the crowd. They looked him over and decided that he was the right man and should have their support. Already his brother had made a reputation as a physician. Dr. Dumas stayed in the rented building for five years and then, with the co-operation of Dr. A. W. Dumas, erected a fine brick structure right in the business section of the city. Now there are in the building offices occupied by several business men and a sanitarium. On the first floor is a shoe store, one of the largest in the country operated by our people, and also a drug store. Steady Advance of an Ohio School. The Curry institute at Urbana, O., has made wonderful progress under the leadership of its principal, Dr. E. W. B. Chow. Quite recently the institution received some very substantial financial aid as well as buildings and ground. The opening of the school this fall will witness a large increase in the number of students over the past year. BREWING COMPANY Everybody Goes to the CHAMPA PHARMACY [2oth and Champa Sts.

The committee on press and publicity at the recent meeting of the National Negro Press association, held at Muskogee, Okla., makes the following report of the results of its mission to the office of two daily papers of Muskogee. It says: We visited the offices of the Times-Democrat and were very pleasantly received by Mr. Hopkins, the city editor, who was informed that we represented the National Negro Press association, which had delegated us to request that he capitalize the letter "N" in "Negro." We briefly stated our reasons, and Mr. Hopkins courteously recognized our position and assured us that he really had not given the matter any consideration, but saw no reason why our suggestion should not meet his approval. He promised to take the matter up with the editor in chief. We expressed our thanks for his consideration and promised that any action taken along this line would be appreciated by our association and our race. We further thanked him for the publicity given us in his columns. A Woman Carrying Flowers We called on the managing editor of the Muskogee Daily Phoenix, Mr. Fisk, and expressed our mission. He said that he was interested in the Negro Press association and had been liberal to it in his columns; also that he did not capitalize the "W" in "white man." After our explanation of the importance of our request he said that he would see that the "N" in "Negro" was capitalized. We offered our thanks and felt grateful for his courteous reception. We also requested that all news articles given the press pertaining to the records of our meetings be censored by the press and publicity committee that we may present to the public the truth as to our efforts and not such fabricated sensations as have appeared in white papers by self appointed press agents.

Augusen, Ga.—"Alabama is full of opportunities for the Negroes and every other race possessing industry, honesty, reliability and thrift," is the declaration made by Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle of Birmingham, Ala., grand worthy councilor of the Court of Calanthe, the female branch of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias, which recently held its annual meeting in Brown's Chapel A. M. E. church in this city. Mrs. Tuggle is one of the most remarkable women of our race in this country and is doing a work on a smaller scale equal to that of Booker T. Washington. She is training the boys and girls of the race for service through Tuggle institute, Birmingham, which is supported by the Order of Calanthe and the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection. She has on every occasion condemned loafing and loafers and has attempted to hold up to the young women of her race the things that count for something. In her opening address the grand worthy counsellor took up the home life of our people and urged the women to make good homes, to pay attention to the proper training of their children and teach them that work of any kind is honorable. "We have given to the world too many jail birds and have furnished too many men and women for the penitentiaries of this country," she said. "and this is because we have failed to give our children the proper training. "We have too many young Negroes who want to 'get by', and instead they 'get in' and disgrace themselves and the race. It is possible to cut down this number, and it must be cut down. I am glad to see so many of you here today." Mrs. Estella R. Smith, representing the jurisdiction of Texas, made a short talk, in which she congratulated the women of Texas in their good work. She referred to the work at Tuggle's institute and commended the women for the part which they have taken in making the school a success. Jenkins Orphanage Band in London. The Jenkins Orphanage band of Charleston, S. C., won new laurels the past summer on its concert tour in London. The band was engaged for special concerts at the Great White City, Shepherd's Bush, London, and at the Alexandra gardens, Windsor, by permission of the mayor and corporation. The Rev. D. J. Jenkins, founder and president of the institution in Charleston, accompanied the band abroad and gave his personal attention to the welfare of each member of the band. The players are expected to embark for America about the middle of September. A big reception will be given the boys when they arrive at New York en route to Charleston.

Walton at the Lafayette Noted. New York.—Active plans are afoot to form a circuit of colored theaters throughout the United States with the Lafayette in this city as the keystone of the proposed chain. Beginning with New York the circuit would embrace playhouses in Philadelphia, Baltimore. Washington, Richmond, Norfolk, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans, Jacksonville (Fla.), Pittsburgh, Columbus, Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. At this time the plans are of a tentative nature, although more tangible developments are expected before the inaugural of another season. For a long time there has been talk of a colored circuit, but something always bobbed up to keep it from becoming a reality. The interest is at fever point now and with the right kind of influence back of the movement there should be something doing before long. There are plenty of theaters available for the culmination of the project and sufficient colored population in the cities mentioned to give the proper paying patronage. Just what the policy will be is a matter for future development. It would probably be a half week of vaudeville, with traveling combinations booked in the remainder of the week. If the circuit materializes there will be great rejoicing among the numerous colored actors and players who are forced to remain idle half of the playing season. Since May, when Martinson & Nilburn relinquished their leasehold on the Lafayette (Seventh avenue and One Hundred and Thirty-first street) in this city owing to nonpayment of a yearly rental of $25,000. Lester A. Walton and another have had the house, and to all appearances are making it pay. The house is at the edge of the colored residential district.

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 be 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.

As this has been a very busy summer, your correspondent has been unable to send notes to the Star, but now as the busy season is over, we will try and resume our work and we beg your indulgence for our neglect. Many, especially Cheyenne subscribers, are asking for news from our thriving little city. Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith and family have moved to Denver. We are very sorry to lose the Smith family, for they have been with us so long, having lived in Cheyenne over thirty years, living in the same place nearly all the time. But what has been Cheyenne's loss will be Denver's gain and we wish them every success in their new location. Mrs. C. O. Smith, wife of Rev. Smith of the Second Baptist church, is expected home this week. Mrs. Smith has spent the summer in California and has been much benefited by her visit. Mrs. Smith is a great church worker and has been greatly missed. Mr. H. R. Butler of Denver has been visiting in Cheyenne. He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. DeWeese. Mr. Granville Moore, who was seriously injured by a horse falling on him, has fully recovered and is able to resume his work at the stockyards. Mr. Barnett of Atchison, Kans., was the welcome guest of his sister, Mrs. H. Montgomery, during Frontier. Mr. Barnett was much impressed with Cheyenne and its people. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hammond of Grand Island, Neb., have taken up their residence with us. They are living at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Hamler. We are always glad to welcome newcomers. Presidin Elder Ward while in the city was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Smith. Mrs. Carl Smith, Misses Marguerite Ford, Marie Smith, Freda Smith, Messrs. Nolle, Donald and Earl Smith were visitors, from Denver during the Frontier celebration. Mrs. G. S. Stacker, who has been visiting her husband at Eldermont, has returned to the city and is now occupying the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith. Cheyenne can now boast of a colored paper, known as the "Cheyenne Uplift." It is a very neat paper and should be in the home of every colored citizen of the city. We must help each other. It is edited by Mr. J. T. Muse and Rev. C. O. Smith. Mr. Muse needs no introduction to the public, as he has proved to be a man of public interest and truly he is a man for uplift. He is our only colored grocer. Rev. Smith, business manager, has been with us for nearly two years and has done much good. He has made the Baptist church one of the leading churches. We hope for them every success. The ninth biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs at Wilberforce, Ohio, was the most successful meeting ever held by this body. Five hundred and six delegates were present, and much was accomplished. At the biennial election Mrs. Booker T. Washington was elected president, Mrs. Mary Talbot of New York, vice-president at large, and Miss Hallie I. Brown, chairman of executive board. The next biennial will meet at Baltimore. (Mrs. J. A.

Dr. Harper ranks as one of Chicago's leading dentists and is enjoying a large practice. I am sure this will be good news to his many friends in Denver. A fuller account of the national will be given at the annual meeting, which meets in Denver in June. Mrs. Gabe Peterson, who has been the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. M. H.

CASH ONIY --- MUCH WEALTH AMONG THEM Notable Progress Being Made by Our Race at Capital of Lone Star State Due Largely to Spirit of Co-operation Created by the Local Business League. By RALPH W. TYLER. Austin, Tex.—This is Texas' capital. So many are the hills here it might be said, as it was of Rome, that Austin is built upon seven hills. Austin is a pretty and orderly city of 35,000 population, 11,000 of which are colored. The two colored colleges here, with the splendid public schools, in so far as the race is concerned, makes Austin a typical college town and filtrates through the race community culture and moral purity not always found in cities of this size. Under President Lovinggood the M. E. college here is doing a wonderful work, and its president is thoroughly in touch with and active in every movement which has for its object greater progress for the race. Austin, in so far as the race's population is concerned, is a religious city. This is shown by its support of twenty-one colored churches. But while the race in Austin believes in laying up treasures in heaven, where thieves do not break in, etc., they are somewhat inclined to the belief that treasures laid up here on earth become a pretty solacing asset pending our transition from earth to heaven, a transition which few "live ones" are in a hurry for. This is shown in the fact that our people here have $250,000 invested in business enterprises, own real estate approximating $300,000 and have $300,000 in cash in the banks of this city to their credit. It would appear from this that the race in Austin is willing to lay up and take chances on thieves breaking in and moths corrupting and rust corroding treasures. One of the leading business men of our race in Austin is L. D. Lyons, a perfectly live factor in every movement conceived for the betterment of race conditions. Texas is getting rid of the lazy, shiftless members of the race. In many things Austin is an ideally attractive little city—the air of culture, the thirst for education and the hospitality of its people are such as to compel one to linger here and impel a regret at leaving. Austin's material progress, while complimentary, has not been of that aggressive stripe characteristic of some other cities because Austin had no live, active business organization. Success here in the past has been individual. Awakening to the fact that co-operative success is most vital to race advancement, Austin colored men have reorganized its business league, officering it with earnest, capable men, and with earnest, enthusiastic men compositing its membership. In talking with a number of the real factors in racial advancement I learned that they now realize that there are many things which Austin should have in the way of business controlled by men and women of the race, and that earnest efforts should be made to encourage the race to patronize race enterprises. The recently reorganized business league has already begun a business revival. The homes and churches of the race here are attractive, commodious and evince commendable civic pride by the manner in which they are beautified and kept up. The interest the race takes in the property possessed by it, in beautifying it and keeping it in repair and the energy displayed in better citizenship and in education no doubt are most responsible for the helpful entente existing between the two races. Austin has the maximum of desirable colored citizens and the minimum of the undesirable. One of the finest high schools for colored people in all this country is to be found here. It is a splendid fireproof building, with an unusually large campus. The equipment is complete, the school board being quite liberal in appropriating for its building and equipment. There is a total of six public schools for colored children. Professor L. C. Anderson, one of the best known educators in the south, is principal of the high school and practically the head of the colored schools generally. His effective work is seen in fine results. There are three colored physicians here, two dentists and two pharmacists. As yet no lawyer has hung out his shingle in this city, and I do not see why one should not succeed if he did so. Two drug stores, undertaking, printing, furniture store, painting, carpentry and stone contracting, transfer business, blacksmithing, grocery stores and truck gardening are some of the business activities in which the race is engaged here. W. M. Tears, L. D. Lyon, J. J. Jennings, J. H. Stewart, President Lovinggood, R. B. Fairbanks, H. Brown, G. W. Norman are among some of the men who are active in making Austin an ideal city. The State Institution for the Colored Blind, Dief and Dumb is located here. It is a commodious building with the teachers and officers not alone earnest, but efficient in the work of training these unfortunates of the race. Charles Alexander Tella Story of Officer Allen Allensworth's Struggles. "The Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," heutenant colonel, United States army, retired, is the title of a new book by Charles Alexander. Like a bold, clear voice out of a wilderness of conflicting and confusing discussion comes this new volume relating the story of one of the most unique characters in American history. It is doubtful whether anything finer is exhibited in our literature than the heroic life and noble endeavors of Allen Allensworth. Handicapped from the start in the awful mire of slavery, but possessing a self consciousness of the difficulties before him, even at an early age, he strove to live blamelessly, before his peers and to carve out a destiny for himself that should reflect credit upon his race. Mr. John Steven McGroarty, the eminent playwright, whose "Mission Play" has attracted so much attention along the Pacific coast and whose "History of California" has become a text book, in his sympathetic foreword says; "The descendant of ancestors who had been dragged from the jungles of Africa into the slavery of the American cotton field, himself born in slavery and sold as a human chattel on the block of the slave market of Henderson, Ky., this man fought his way with a dogged persistence and a sublime courage to a place of peerage in the affairs of the nation that had shackled himself and his fathers. "Withal he preserved throughout his life a nobility of character and a gentleness of soul which saved him to bilthe and serene living and which leaves him now. in the twilight of his days, at peace with the world, honored by the community where he lives, distinguished in the service he rendered the nation which had enslaved him, loved by all who know him without regard to race or creed—a man of deeds and Christian charity." This narrative is intended to refresh the memory of the reader that he may better understand the enthralled condition of the humble slaves during that dark period, and likewise to bring to his attention the strength of the moral force which was largely responsible for the extinction of the institution. And further, to compel the recognition of meritorious characters who still live among us, those who by industry, economy, thrift, enterprise, truth telling and distinguished service to others have won for themselves an honored position in American life. Colonel Allensworth has walked among his fellows a modest, unobtrusive, God fearing man, and with no aid save his indomitable courage he has made his way to the very front in the American army. The simplicity of his life and the splendid toleration of his spirit distinguished him as a good counsellor and a wise leader. The reader will find it difficult to fully estimate the variety and value of his services both in civil and military life, for he has not only been a forceful and eloquent preacher, an indefatigable and successful schoolteacher, but a gallant soldier, a ranking chaplain and the founder of a flourishing Negro town. Chaplain Orville J. Nave, who read over the manuscript of this remarkable book, said of it: "It sustains one's interest from start to finish. There is no chapter in it that abates one's desire to know what is coming next. It is as fascinating as the best of historical novels, with the added charm that comes from the knowledge that this is a life starting under dark slavery, but triumphing in distinguished achievements." This book has a mission. Its mission is to set forth the strength of the Negro character under adverse conditions and to stimulate and inspire the younger generation of the Negro race. And further, to show the progress of the race during the past fifty years—a progress quite remarkable in the annals of the world's history. This book will serve as a textbook to students of social and economic conditions among the American Negroes. Equity Congress Hears General: Miles. The recent visit of General Nelson A. Miles to the equity congress in Hurlem, New York, formed a very interesting part of the propaganda which has been conducted for some time to secure recognition of colored men in the fire department, on the police force, and in the national guard. To further these objects the equity congress of New York was formed in 1910, and it was before the members of this body that General Miles spoke. The general was met at Lenox avenue and One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street by a large detachment of the United States boy scouts, commanded by Major R. C. Wendell, and a detail from the Spanish war camp was also present as escort in charge of Commander Hamilton H. Blunt, a former United States army captain who saw service in Cuba and the Philippines. To Dedicate Lincoln Memorial Arch. The committee on program for the annual meeting of the national Baptist convention, which began its sessions in Philadelphia Sept. 9. to conclude on Monday.

BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION WORK SHOWS BIG INCREASE. No Cause For Undue Alarm, Says the Board's Report. There are times when some of our leaders think because we have not a large number of American missionaries in foreign fields the work is not growing, says a recent report of the Baptist foreign mission board. It should be remembered that the efforts of all foreign mission boards is to get a prepared native ministry. One prepared native African can do the work of an American missionary and act as an interpreter and, if properly prepared, can do the work of three. Our foreign mission board has quite twenty young people in the various schools of our country preparing to return to Africa. South America and the isles of the sea. Among the very best workers now in the employ of our convention are the Rev. John Chilembwe. British Central America, a former student of Virginia seminary and college, and Rev. John Ntahla in Pondland, South Africa, a former student of State university, Kentucky. The above brethren have had the most marvelous success of any men connected with our work. Rev. John N. Menzie, college graduate from Wilberforce and State university, is one of the very best teachers in our schools, with Rev. J. E. East. These are all trained natives. The board reports this as one of the best years of the past eighteen of its work. More than 1,500 persons have been baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist churches and missions in foreign lands, it says. Work of the Late Colonel James Lewis. Not so many of the younger men and women of our race know of the work, positions of trust and responsibility held by the late Colonel James Lewis of New Orleans, because as a rule he never mingled freely with his people. Nevertheless he was a zealous worker for racial advancement. Colonel Lewis was appointed United States naval officer by President Hayes, surveyor general by President Arthur, deputy collector of customs and immigration inspector by President Harrison and surveyor general by Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. In the city government of New Orleans he was commissioner of police and public buildings and administrator of public improvements. 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. PRIZE WINNERS AT HOWARD.

ABLE CHURCHMAN AND RACE LEADER SPENT EARLY LIFE ON FARM First African Presbyterian Church In Philadelphia Enjoys Splendid Growth Under the Leadership of Its Energetic Pastor—Clear of Debt and Will Enlarge Present Edifice. By JAMES D. CORROTHERS BY JAMES D. CORNHEY Philadelphia.—The splendid growth and prosperity of the First African Presbyterian church in this city have compelled the congregation to purchase additional ground upon which to enlarge its edifice to meet its expanding activities. The church is located on Seventeenth and Fitzwater streets. It has purchased the property adjoining and will erect thereon a $10,000 addition to its present edifice, which will increase its seating capacity by at least 350. An addition will also be made to the parsonage and a baptistery, pipe organ, gymnasium and other improvements will also be made to the church. The Rev. John W. Lee, A. M., D. D., the pastor, to whom its success and progress are very largely due, is one REV. DR. JOHN W. LEE. of the well known ministers of Philadelphia and a leader in his denomination. He is modest, interesting, unassuming and genial. He is universally recognized as a man of worth by race leaders and by influential white people. Dr. Lee is a self made man, and his struggle for success is an interesting story. Born in Harford county, Md., April 22, 1864, he attended the schools of his native county in the winter season and worked on a farm during the remainder of the year. At the age of eighteen he left home and went to Baltimore to live. There he worked during the day and attended night school. He left Baltimore in 1800 to try his fortunes in Pittsburgh. Believing that he had been called of God to preach the gospel, he entered Lincoln university in 1893, and after taking two years' special work in the college department he entered the theological department, graduating in 1898. He was at once ordained and became the supply pastor for the Madison Street Presbyterian church in Baltimore. He then took up the Sunday school missionary work of the state of Maryland, with headquarters in Annapolis, continuing in this position for two years. In the fall of 1900 he came to Philadelphia to visit relatives and friends and was invited to preach in the First African Presbyterian church. All who heard him were delighted with his preaching and he was at once invited to become the pulpit supply, the church not being in a position to call a pastor. In 1901 he began to supply the church, continuing until June, 1902, when he was unanimously elected pastor. During his pastorate of the First African Presbyterian church the property has been twice repaired at a cost of $3,000 and a mortgage of $10,000 has been paid off, making the entire property clear of debt. The church is well organized, and more than 300 new members have been added. In 1907, when for sixteen days the church celebrated its one hundredth anniversary, Rev. William H. Roberts, D. D., the moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in America; the late Dr. John B. Rendalls of Lincoln university and J. N. Rendall, D. D., with other distinguished men from all parts of the country, took part in the exercises. This was one of the most notable events among colored church circles in Philadelphia. Dr. Lee graduated from Lincoln with the degree of A. M. Ten years later the degree of D. D. was given him by the university. He is president of the National Alumni association of Lincoln university, chairman of the Freedmen's educational committee of the presbytery of Philadelphia, chairman of the board of control of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. and was chairman of the committee in 1911 when the colored people of this city subscribed $22,500 in five days toward the erection of their present splendidly equipped Y. M. C. A. building.

Haynes, director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, recently completed a course of ten lectures on social problems given before the teachers attending the summer normal at the Virginia Union university, Richmond, Va., Tuskegee institute, the Tennessee Normal school and the West Virginia institute. These lectures are designed to stimulate an interest among leaders of Negro groups in community needs and to lead those favorably impressed to organize their followers in the various sections for general improvement in conditions that have been made better by the branch organizations of the Urban league in New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah and Louisville. Dr. Haynes' opening lecture emphasized the relative importance of heredity and environment in their effect on future and immediate generations. He urged the teachers to guide the young while acquiring characteristics toward those habits of life which would lead the race to achievement and higher standards of living. In subsequent lectures housing, industrial and health conditions were treated intensively. By means of lantern slides the various types of homes and occupations of Negroes were indicated to the audience. The lecturer was unusually frank in his treatment of the industrial problems. He urged upon his hearers the importance of efficiency in service—the absolute necessity of well trained, competent artisans in the skilled trades and regular, sober and reliable unskilled labor. "An employer of labor," he said, "wishes a job well done in as brief a period of service as the most skilled workman can execute it in. It does not matter to the employer whether black or white hands bring about the results so long as the desired result follows." Dr. Haynes' final lecture was on "The Faith of the Fathers," in which he showed the earnestness with which the Negroes of the years just before and after slavery stuck to the ideals of progress and kept the faith with their country, their race and their God. He emphasized the necessity of the present generation of the race keeping faith with their progenitors by sticking to the same ideals and improving upon their methods because of the added advantage in intelligence and opportunity for service at the command of the race today. Dr. Haynes also delivered this series of lectures at the Teachers' institute at Tuskegee institute, the Tennessee normal school at Nashville and the West Virginia normal institute, near Charleston, W. Va. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, with headquarters at 110 West Fortieth street, New York city, has for its main purpose the improvement of the general social conditions of Negroes in the cities of America and is following the plan of work as suggested by Dr. Haynes in his lectures. --- New Weekly Paper In Montclair, N.

One of the most capable newspaper women connected with any of our many thrifty race journals is Miss Anna M. Vann, the traveling subscription agent for the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. During the past year, since the meeting of the National Negro Press association held in Philadelphia, Miss Vann has made a thorough canvass of several states, securing a large number of subscriptions in each and interesting our people along other lines of profitable endeavor. Miss Vann is not only an expert subscription agent, but also knows how to write a news article. The Journal and Guide carried in its issue of Aug. 1 a two-column article by Miss Vann describing the progress of the race in Winston Salem, N. C. She has actually traveled 25,000 miles during the past three years and has secured over 14,000 subscribers for the Journal and Guide. We congratulate this energetic young woman on the good work which she is doing and also Editor P. B. Young for his good fortune in securing Miss Vann'a services sold subscription agent. ABSORPTION OF AFRO-AMERICANS Roosevelt's Brazil Article Provokes Lively Discussion. MULATTOES ABE INCREASING Speculation as to the Future Status of the Race as to Color Viewed From Many Angles—Unconscious Assimilation by the Whites Believed to Be Multiplying. By RALPH W. TYLER. Washington.—The article by Colonel Roosevelt a short time since referring to the race absorption process going on in Brazil attracts attention to the possible absorption by the whites of the Negro in the United States. As things are drifting at the present time there is but one alternative for the Negro in this country—viz., either removal by absorption, or becoming a separate and distinct race in all things. The farseeing statesmanship of Dr. Booker T. Washington doubtless became cognizant of a possible race separation nearly twenty years ago, and his "in all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress," uttered in his address at the Atlanta exposition in 1895, in the light of accumulative evidence showing the trend of the separation movement, appears to have been prophetic. And his earnest efforts to prepare his people for an economic independence seems to confirm the statement that his wise statesmanship foresaw and foresees a possible separation into distinct races in all things. The fact, however, that Dr. Washington's father was a white man and his mother a colored woman shows that the absorption process in this country is not of recent beginning and that the whites, not the Negro, prior to the abolition of slavery, paved the way for the admixture of races. Were it not for his fecundity the time when the Negro shall have become extinct might be prophesied with reasonable accuracy, so high is his death rate in cities. The Indian is no longer a serious problem because rapid extinction by death is proving the solution. But while the Negro's death rate is high his birth rate is relatively higher. The death rate of the Negro is highest in the congested cities, but less than one-third of the negro population is in the cities. Two-thirds is a rural population, the death rate of which is practically normal. In the congested cities the death rate of the Negro, as compared with the rate for the whites, is as 10 to 6, and the birth rate among Negroes, as compared with the birth rate among whites, native whites, is as 10 to 44. By far the larger per cent of white births is among the foreign born whites, and the heavy immigration of foreign whites each year, which favorable immigration laws make possible, assures white supremacy in this country. The per cent increase of whites in this country from 1900 to 1910 was 22.3, and the per cent increase of the Negro for the same period was 11.2. The per cent increase of foreign born whites in this country from 1900 to 1910 was 30.7. 8.4 per cent greater than the total white increase. When it is considered that the 22.3 per cent increase of the total white population over that reported for the decade preceding was swelled by the arrival of nearly three million immigrants it will be seen that the per cent increase of the Negro population for the same period, and which was due exclusively to births among native Negroes, is relatively higher than that of the native whites. The Negro problem, therefore, will hardly be solved, as is the Indian problem, by extinction by death. Absorption is unlikely to prove a solution in the very near future, and yet absorption is playing a much greater part in the solution of the Negro problem than is generally known. For instance, in this city, which has the largest Negro population of any in the United States, the mulattoes increased nearly 50 per cent. The close student of the race problem knows that each generation of mulattoes more nearly approach the point where they can cross the boundary line and become, uncharted by their color, lost among those of the dominant race. Every close student of the race is aware of the fact that a large per cent of the Negroes collated as mulattoes are today in all large cities safely "passing," occasionally or permanently, as whites and enjoying the result ant unrestricted rights and privileges enjoyed by pure whites. They occupy, undiscovered, choice seats at theaters whose practice is to segregate the race in the balcony and gallery or exclude them; they dine at fashionable cafes whose practice is not to serve Negroes, and they are guests at hotels whose rule is to refuse accommodations to Negroes. Even in the south they frequently ride in security on railroad coaches and in street cars reserved for whites exclusively, dine at southern cafes exclusive for whites and rest on downy beds at white hotels from Cincinnati to Galveston. Illustrating how difficult it frequently is for whites to discover some Negroes' racial identity I was travelling through Mississippi some some time ago and witnessed the attempt of a very light complexioned Negro to board the car reserved for Negroes. I knew the man personally and knew that he was identified with the Negro race, but the conductor, touching him on the shoulder, said: "This car's for 'niggers,' white people ain't lowed to ride on it; take the next car back." And he did so and rode his journey's end. In Washington so many mulattoes, whose complexion is as fair as any whites', were securing choice seats at theaters whose policy is to restrict Negroes to the balcony or gallery or exclude them altogether it was found expedient to employ Negroes as spotters. The duty of the Negro spotter—an insufferable traitor—is to stand on the outside of the ticket window, and whenever one of these "white Negroes" apply for seats tip it off to the ticket seller. There are 8,000,000 blacks in this country as against 2,000,000 mulattoes Without a recognized and honored propaganda in favor of absorption at the rate black is being evolved into mulatto and mulatto crystallized into white it will take many generations for the whites to absorb the Negro race in this country. The increasing restrictions and exclusions the Negro is meeting with, north as well as south, suggests that segregation, harsh as the term may sound and un-American as some may think the policy to be, is but in its infancy. Schools at which Negro students may now matriculate do not recognize him beyond the classroom, with the result that he becomes an isolated human being. Desirable as education is, worthy of every sacrifice as we acknowledge it to be, the number of Negro students who have the courage to become social outcasts at white universities grows perceptibly less each year. This very discrimination and restriction frequently induces very bright mulattoes to pass for white either to gain entrance to a white university or to enjoy a measurable social equality, so desirable in student life, after gaining entrance. It is this discrimination and restriction that induces thousands of mulattoes to assist absorption by passing unknown as whites. Once a Negro drops on the other side to secure an education, employment or citizen's rights and privileges when the fear of detection has been entirely dispatched the unrestricted rights and privileges he enjoys are so compensating he frequently loses himself permanently among the whites and thus assists absorption. The sole reason for a Negro desiring to pass as white is to enjoy rights and privileges vouchsafed by the constitution whites enjoy and to secure employment commensurate with his abilities it is easy for the white man to secure, but almost impossible for him as a Negro to obtain. I have just concluded a tour of 25,000 miles, during which I made a close, study of this possible race absorption. I learned that few, if any, traction lines will employ a Negro as motorman or conductor, and yet I encountered many of them serving in these capacities who are passing as white. I found that railroad and sleeping car companies, whether north or south, decline to employ Negroes as conductors or train brakemen, and yet I learned that many Negroes are so employed while passing unknown as white. The disinclination on the part of department heads and bureau chiefs in the government service to appoint a Negro to a clerical position or position requiring technical knowledge, when certified by the civil service commission, if discovered that the certified is a Negro, has induced hundreds of mulattoes to secure federal appointments by not betraying their racial identity. And many of these, fearing the loss of their positions should their identity become known, are permanently passing as white, and not a few have married on the other side. In every large city in this country there are hundreds of very fair mulattoes who are occasionally or permanently passing as white, and the larger the city the easier it is for them to hide their identity. Taking the per cent increase of mulattoes during the last decade as a basis for making computations, in the next fifty years the mulatto population of the United States will have equaled that of the blacks. In the same period, by absorption, 17 per cent of those physically mulattoes will have lost themselves among the whites. In 1920, if the present ratio of increase continues, the mulattoes will form 26.6 per cent of the total Negro population of this country. The same ratio, if maintained, will cause the mulatto population to form 83.6 per cent of the total Negro population in 2020-100 years hence. During the next hundred years that are to evolve the present mulatto majority into a mulatto majority ($3.6 per cent) of the total Negro population, the absorption of mulattoes by the whites will be steadily going on. Permit the present, unnoticed and unrealized, rate of absorption to continue without legislative check or hindrance, in 200 years there will be no Negro problem in this country. The mulattoes that have been born out of wedlock, to white and Negro parents, have been far greater in numbers, it must be said regrettably, than those born to white and Negro parents legally married. Intermarriage between whites and Negroes, even in those states where it is not prohibited by law, is so rare as to attract attention because of its rarity. There is just as strong an aversion to intermarriage on the part of Negroes as on the part of whites, and the majority of Negroes who marry whites are those mulattoes who have permanently gone ever to the whites. THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM State-Wide Prohibition Breeds Bitter Hatred COLONEL THEODORE ROOSEVELT, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND NOTED TRAVELER AND AUTHOR, HAS THIS TO SAY: "The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride he will see to it that all others will receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own. "Probably the best test of true love of liberty in any country is the manner in which minorities are treated in that country. Not only should there be complete liberty in matters of religion and opinion, but complete liberty for each man to live his life as he desires, provided only that in so doing he does not wrong his neighbors. "Wide difference of opinion in matters of religions and political and social beliefs must exist if conscience or intellect alike are not to be stunted, or if there is to be healthy growth. Bitter internecine hatred based on such differences are signs, not of earnestness of belief, but of that fanaticism which, whether religious or anti-religious, Democratic or anti-Democratic, is itself but a manifestation of the gloomy bigotry which has been the chief factor in the downfall of so many nations." In his wide travels and painstaking investigations of governmental matters, Colonel Roosevelt has been brought in close contact with the methods employed by various nations in dealing with the license question. His observations have convinced him that control by fanaticism and gloomy bigotry precedes the downfall of government. Any state which adopts State-Wide Prohibition confesses to the world that its people are incapable of governing themselves. A Vote For State-Wide Prohibition Is a Vote Against Local Option VOTE NO ON STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION THE COLORADO BUSINESS MEN'S HOME RULE LEAGUE Regeneration By Legislation Compulsion Makes Hypocrites and Not Converts. An ominous sign of the times is the apparently wide-spread disposition to shift responsibility upon the government. A former chief justice of Connecticut, in an address, saw this disposition in the vast number of things which American citizens had been commanded to do, or prohibited from doing, by regulatory and restrictive enactments, and concluded with this significant remark: "We have not yet reached the condition of the ancient Peruvians, whose daily lives were minutely regulated by governmental authority, but we are on a stream which flows that way." That honesty in a nation must rest upon individual character and that regeneration must begin with the individual, seems to be lost sight of. The sole talk of the political agitator, and too often of the moral uplifter, is of reform by legislation. Rabbi Hirach, Chicago; "The best safeguard against drunkenness is that drinking should be enjoyed openly. The saloon in America is frequented solely by men, and a certain stigma attaches to those who are seen there. The worst thing in American social life is the separation of the sexes. In Germany, where whole families are in the habit of drinking together in places of public resort, where the wife accompanies the husband as a matter of course, excess is not found, and the tone of the German cafes is as high morally as that of the German homes." Government can enact laws establishing relations between individuals, but cannot put neighborly qualities into men's hearts. The law can compel a man to support his wife, but cannot make him love her. Legislative bodies can enact industrial legislation, but cannot put the spirit of fair-dealing into the souls of employer and employed. Legislatures can pass drastic laws regulating the liquor traffic, but cannot legislate temperance, or abstinence, or self-control into the heart of the citizen, things which are of more importance to him than all the laws that can be enacted in his behalf. Fundamentals of Christian, character and morality must be the work of individual training and discipline. The spirit of a community that is moral and honest will be unconsciously reflected in its laws and in the characters of the men chosen to fill official positions. But no amount of zeal in executives and legislators can create, by flat, public morality from a corrupted constituency. The legislation which attempts to do so by minutely regulating conduct is Socialistic and contradictory from all the teachings of experience.—From the "Peace Forum." July, 1914. Monsignor Harkina, Holyoke, Mass.: "I was here when the prohibitory laws were in effect in this state and know the evils which existed under them. Under no license in Holyoke there would be less drinking, but more drunkenness." Bishop Chas. D. Williams, Michigan: "I am in sympathy with the purposes those who advocate prohibition have in mind, but while their motives are ever so laudable, the means proposed to accomplish the end are inapplicable. In fact, I consider prohibition at this time wrong because it is destructive." THE High Brown, Lincoln Brunette, Pink and White Face Powders.
