Denver Star

The Denver Star Has The Largest Circulation Among Colored People. Get Wise and Advertise. The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The independent, have been merged into The Denver Star The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Interesting Concerning the Interesting News Concerning the Race. Washington, D.C.—Former Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, until recently national organizer for the National Negro Business League, is packing up preparatory to returning to his old home in Columbus, O. It is announced that he is to launch a new Race paper there and take an active part in the politics of the Buckeye state. "The new paper is to be a radical of radicals," he is quoted as saying. Mr. Tyler is not new to the journalism of Ohio, having been editor of The Vindicator several years ago and was long an attache of the Columbus Dispatch, a white dailey. The Louisville Courier Journal quotes Dr. Washington as saying in a recent speech that "the Negro should stop fighting segregation and lend his forces toward beautifying the neighborhood in which he lives." If Dr. Washington is correctly quoted, he is most discouraging. It is inconceivable that one who occupies so prominent a position in the Afro-American world should so far forget his position and his dignity as to urge his Race to cease protesting against the most cowardly and humiliating legislation in the land. It is safe to say that segregation has many champions even among our Race, but almost without exception they are to be found among the element where there is the least intelligence and where there is an inherent fear of opposing anything the white man chooses to do. But here we are smitten from an unexpected quarter; a recognized leader of the Race, an educator, tells us to forget our manhood; to forget the sacred and inalienable rights of political and personal liberty, and to passively submit to the humiliation of being pushed aside as though we are a race of lepers, because we would seek cleaner and healthier neighborhoods in which to live. To submit to a degradation without serious objection is worse than cowardly; it is unmanly and ignoble, and any Race that would do so without exhausting every means of moral and legal protest is unworthy of the name of civilized. Segregation is wrong, wrong in principle and fact, and if Dr. Washington believes it is wrong, as we think he does, it is to be deeply regretted that he lacks the moral stamina to say so. It is obvious even to the friends --- AFRICAN SOLDIERS CAPTURED A GERMAN CAPTAIN. Paris.—To the Matin's correspondent, Chartres, France, a colonial infantryman wound ed at Charleroi, related his experiences in the battle. "We marched with our African comrades against the Prussian guard," he said. "We advanced in bounds amidst bullets humming, using every bit of cover we could. We felt intoxicated with the joy of battle. "I couldn't say how long the action lasted. All I remember is that we fired our last shot within 50 yards of the enemy. Then it was the pitiless thrust of cold steel. It would have given us the victory, for however intrepid and steady are the troops we fight against, there are no soldiers in the world able to resist the Turco's bayonet charge. "My regiment's efforts alas! was broken by quickfires skillfully hidden in the ruins of an old factory. We were obliged to fall back and we suffered heavily, but we have the consolation of saying that we made enormous gaps in the kaiser's crack regiments." One of the Turcos had the good fortune to capture single-handed a German captain. He had carefully disarmed him and was conducting him with pardonable pride to the rear when the officer, in a violent rage, cursed the Turco. The African made him carry his knapsack and all of his equipment, and sticking a saucepan on his head, he thus led the insulter through the lines amid roars of laughter. Chief Sam's Agent Here. Norfolk, Va.—Rev, E. C. Carr representative of "Chief" Sam, the African immigration agent and the Akim Trading Company is in the city and is stopping at 615 Bank street. He hopes to work up an African club in Norfolk by the time Chief Sam's ship returns from the Gold Coast, where it sailed from Galveston, Tex., last month. Sheriff Appoints a Colored Deputy. Knoxville, Ten., Sept. 9. Sheriff-elect John Blankenship has announced the list of deputies that are to serve under him. Among the number appointed is Rebs Brabson, a prominent colored citizen. Mr. Brabson has for a number of years been conducting a grocery store and is favorably known and respected through the country. His friends predict for him a successful career. Dr. Booker T. Washington Startles Us. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 19, 1914 and supporters of Dr. Washington, that, if he is quoted accurately, he cannot in the future be regarded as being in sympathy with the Afro-American who places his self-respect and manhood above everything else, and who is not willing to sacrifice either for the sake of living on more congenial terms with his white brother. Dr Washington's statement is as puzzling to the News as it is painful, because even if he believes that we should not oppose segregatson, it seems worse than a blunder for him to throw open so vulnerable a spot to the many opponents of his policies by saying so. However, the advice of 'the Sage of Tuskegee' is not going to have any effect on our local fight, one way or the other. Surprise and disgust are expressed on all sides by those who read his quotations and the News is forced to confess to the drawing of some very painful conclusions, none of which are too complimentary to Dr. Washington--Louisville (Ky.) News. Black Sengalese Capture Pipes and Shoes From Germans. Paris.—The Matin relates that on the arrival of a train bringing wounded Sengalese riflemen nearly all were found smoking furiously from long porcelain pipes taken from the enemy and seemingly indifferent to their wounds. One gaily told of the daring capture of a machine gun by eighteen of his comrades. The gun, it seems, was brought up by a detachment of German dragoons, and the Senegalese bravely charged and captured everything. Though their arms and bodies are hacked by saber thrusts, the Sengalese complain of nothing but the obligation to fight with shoes on. Before going into battle at Charleroi they slyly rid themselves of these impediments and came back shod in German footwear to avoid punishment for losing equipment. Leaves Wilberforce $1,000. The following is a paragraph of the Leopold H. Green will. He died a few months ago. "And I also give, devise and bequeath unto the trustees of Wiberforce University, of the African M. E. Church located at Wiberforce, Greene County, Ohio, one thousand ($1,-000) dollars to be devoted to scholarships in aid of such meritorious students as the faculty may from time to time designate, said scholarships to be designated "The Leopold H. Green Scholarships." P. S.—The late Mr. Green was a member of the race and a citizen of Illinois. The Crisis Makes Some Strong Observations. No time is gained by settling a great question wrong. The disfranchisement of the southern Negro is illegal and immoral. The result is that it continues to be a live question in the South. Every matter which brings up in the slightest degree the question of voting opens the argument. For instance, Annie Riley Hale, who is "Opposed," sent this warning to the New Orleans Times-Democrat: "A mass meeting in Carnegie Hall, opened and presided over by the Mayor, closed the New York program for what is henceforth to be known as 'Suffragette Day.' "An incident fraught with special interest to Southerners—and the immediate inspiration of this letter—occurred in Riverside Park, near Grant's tomb, when Mrs. Inez Milholland-Boissevain was speaking. A man in the crowd asked her: 'How are going to give the vote to colored women? She promptly replied: 'Why, certainly, we intend to give the vote to colored women in precisely the same way we shall give it to all other women.' "Will Mrs. Helen Gardener, Miss Jean Gordon, Ellen Glasgow et al, kindly sit up and maee a note of this? They and their suffragette follow in the South have been hugging the fond illusion that white women could obtain the ballot through a State law which would exclude the Negro women; but happily not many Southern men are obsessed with any such impracticable nonsense about law making." A staff correspondent of the Macon Telegram speaks of the instability of the present disfranchisement laws of the South and continues: There was no difference among the white Democratic voters of Georgia as to white supremacy. All were tn accord as to that. It was a question of expediency. We had by our white primary absolutely gotten rid of the Negro vote. This was done by common consent. Nothing done since has made it more effective. "As to the wisdom, under the circumstances, of putting our white primary system into a statue, there was honest difference of opinion. For there was at the time quite a distinct movement to cut down representatton according to the vote in the Southern States. Had this been pushed by Republicans as threatened Georgia would not have been amenable, because she had not disfranchised any voters. She accomplished her purpose without any statue law, and hence her representation could not be disturbed, as nothing prevented the Negro voters from holding their own primary—something we all knew they would not do. Our primary nullified no Federal statue. "The Republicans being in full power by sufferance did not disturb the disfanchisement acts. But there is no stability to them now. Read the debate between the lamented Senator Bacon and Senator Root on the Bristow amendent and discover the facts in the case. There you see the situation. "The foundation for enforcement of the Fifeenth Amendment was laid when the Bristow amendment was passed. It has put the Democrats in a hole. We whipped ourselves by introducing that Sutherland amendment in the Senate. It brought the Bristow amendment, and that gave Congress absolute control of all registration and elections of a national character. Senator Root maintained that it conferred the power on Congress to declare the "disfranchisement" act void. The debate between Senator Bacon and Senator Root will disclose the situations. "So there is no stability about our 'disfranchisement' acts. A few years may show that it had been wiser to have stuck to our efficient white primary system. The day may come when the name of Clarke of Arkansas, who proved traitor to his party on this Bristow amendment, will be hissed by all southern people. Mr. Bryan insisted on the change in the election of Senators, the Bristow amendment and ali, because, he said 'it would be a stepping-stone to other reforms' he had in contemplation, one of which is the President by the masses at large, regardless of States." The perpetual discussion of the Negro problem in the South leaves little time for anything else. The Washington Times points out that"one of the penalties southern States are paying for the privilege of eliminating the Negro from their politics springs from the largely inefficient constitutions through which this elimination was brought about. The States were so determined to destroy the Negro vote that they forgot other considerations which now rise up to plague them. The final decision of the Supreme Court on these constitutional inhibitions of Negro voting is expected within a week, and it will be a curious (Continued on page 2.) State historian & Natural History Society FIVE CENTS A COPY. Negro Preacher Tells People of Race Not to Be Too Particular About Their Rights. The following article appeared in the Dallas Morning News: The principal address to the Zion Rest Negro Baptist Association, now in session at the Mount Moriah Baptist church here, was delivered by Dr. L. L. Campbell, of Austin. Dr. Campbell is president of the Negro Baptist State Convention of Texas and is the recognized leader of more than 200,000 Negro Christians. "The most miserable man on earth is the Negro who is always complaining and fussing with God because God made him black," said Dr. Campbell, "the good tenant is worth more to the Race than all the speech makers the Race has produced. A landlord will do anything on earth for a good tenant. A good tenant is a valuable asset to any community and a white man will raise a fuss about him. Where there are good tenants the chicken houses are less likely to be invaded. Where there are good tenant, the hog pens will not be molested and any community will be glad to have you, regardless of your color if you will prove your worth. "Don't be so particular about your rights. I would rather give a man all of the sidewalk and the street, too, if he wants it and be regarded as a peaceable citizen than to have the whole sidewaik given to me and be regarded as a bully. I thank God that the Negro has always had sense enough to live in peace with his white neighbors." Now this is the class of Negroes who retard the progress of the progressive men and women of the Race. This is a make-shift of a minister, and should be driven out of the pulpit and from all respectable people. He is not even a good man for a fifth class ministral show, which he has been trying to perform in for some white people. We do not know how he got to be head of the Baptist convention: unless it was by his gall. When the public reads this, they should expel him from the convention and the state of Texas. Republican State Central Committee. Chairman McDonald has issued a call for the new Republican Central Committee to meet in Denver, Tuesday, Sept. 22nd, at ten o'clock for the purpose of organizing for the fall campaign. At the same time he has issued a call for the state legislative, judicial and congressional candidates to meet on the same date to formulate a platform. The law provides that the county chairmen and chairwomen shall be elected at the primaries. Charch ‘News PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, €. 23RD AVE. AND WASHINGTON ‘ST. PASTOR, J. A. THOS- HAZELL §.

A nieces eee Oe ae eG circumstance if all the trouble and inconvenience they repre- sent shall go for naught.’ On the other hand, the pa- pers of the North continue to hammer at the southern rot— ten boroughs’ The Water- town (N. Y.) Standard says: “If representatives were fix- ed upon votes cast the south— ern States would be less of a factor in Washington. Asit stands 1,000 southern voters have as much political power as 10,000 citizens of the North who vote. The Republican party should be more concern- ed in preventing the South voting Negroes it drives from the polls than in lessening southern . representation in national conventions when the disproportion is due not to the lack ot Republican votes, but tothe failure of govern- ment to protect the rights of such voters. In the election of 1912, Georgia with 121,000 votes had 14 electors, while Maine with 129,000 had 6; Alabama with 98,000 _ cast 12 votes in the electoral col- lege. and South Dakota with 116,000 votes, 6; Mississipti on 64,000 cast 10 and Rhode Island with 77,000, 5; South Carolina cast 9 on 50,0q0 votes and Montana 40n 78,000 The parallel runs throughout the list of States the South exercising greater power for voting population than other sections.” The Boston Advertiser con- tinues with this strong utter- ance: | “In other word, if the House of Representatives were hon- estly and legally made up in obedience to the Constitution, instead of ten seats in the House, Alabama would have five, instead of seven, Arkan sas would _have five; instead of four, Florida would have two, instead of eight, Louisi- ana would have four; instead of six, Maryland would have four; instead of eight, Missi- sippi would have four; instead of sixteen, Missouri would have thirteen; instead of ten, North Carolina would have five, instead of seyen, South Carolina would have four; instead of eighteen, Texas would have twelve. In other words, there are at least more than thirty members of the House of Representatives who are sitting there illegally and in absolute defiance of the constitution of the United States. “President Wilson knows this. He knows that the Electoral College which chose him as President was packed to that extent with fraudulent votes. He accepted the fraud- ulent votes -complaisantly, without any thought of pro test. Although hé is sworn to obey and to defend thé Constitution of the United States, he winks at this viola- tion, every day of his term as President. That is why we say that, in honoring his right and honest and manly stand onthe right of the Negro to some consideration as a hu man being and a citizen, is utterly inconsistent, in shut ting his eyes so deliberately to a great wrong, which he has already swornto abolish.’ The Denver Star collector will cal The Denver Star collector will cal at your door, Kindly receive him with a smile, pay him and wish bim a long and prosperous year of most suc cessful collections.

JOHN DANIELS AS AUTHOR. ments “In Freedom's Birthplace.” “In Freedom's Birthplace” is the title of an interesting book by Jobu Dan. lels 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 Maseachusetts 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 algo the first to abolish slavery in the decade between 1780 and 1799. In Boston a Negro was the first martyr in the cause of American inde- pendence. Despite Washington's or- der against it, free Negroes werd en- rolled and served in the continental army at Cambridge, and excellent serv- ices were rendered in the Revolution- ary war by a Negro regiment from Rhode Island and a Negro company from Massuchusetts. It was 1 Negro soldier who shot Piteairn at Bunker Hill, and he and some of his cotured comrades ure conspicuous in ‘Tram: bull's painting of that battle.

AN ODD SITUATION As long as there were hopes for the strikers in the coal district to win, the president of the United States nor anyone else was capable of settling their differences with the coal operators, unless it was the union officials and Mother Jones. Now that the strike has been lost and the mining output has been generally the same, the striking miners through their national head officers are willing to "settle their differences," with the president as the referee. In other words, lose and then arbitrate the issues with the victors. In this state 126 mines are "open shop" and 36 mines are "closed or union shops" and in the unionized camps each man produced 56.5 tons, while at the "open mines" each man produced 71.5 tons. In the open camps every man, union and non-union, is welcome; in the "closed camps" nobody can work but union men. Business sense of responsibility easily dictates the correct view of this odd situation. Can a man be defeated and whipped and yet finally win in the ultimate outcome? OUR ORGANIZATIONS. The Star is glad at all times to welcome the assistance and benefit derived from any and all organizations which are working for the good welfare, advancement and steady progress of the Colorado Negroes. But when any set of persons, political, religious, fraternal or otherwise, organize themselves for the benefit of the race and so advertise it, and then work for himself or herself, we think that kind of a society is a failure and should be ignored. We are reliably informed that two sets of Negro Republicans, each supposed to represent the Negroes in Denver, have separately organized themselves into their respective organizations. One organization met for business at the residence of Mrs. Ida DePriest, where a lively partisan interest was stirred, while some days previous another Republican society, composed principally of the professional and business class, met and elected Lawyer W. B. Townsend president. We cannot see the need of two such organizations. One of them must yield to the other, because the Negroes of Denver will support the one which is most representative and which will give a square deal to all. The Star means to work for the PEOPLE and for JOBS for representative people. The Star is for the society that not only CAN, but WILL deliver the goods to the people and not to themselves only. We need our strength concentrated and utilized effectively. In our future issues we hope to be able to rightfully advise the Republicans of the organization from which the best results can flow. DOING—NOT TALKING. It takes energy to wrangle, cuss, scrap. Save the muscle-work you lose in your jaw and put it in your arm. Your jawbone isn't your backbone. While you're fighting over this little misunderstanding, you're losing time, energy, enthusiasm and understanding you could be using for yourself and others. Suppose he didn't consult you. Overlook the slight. Suppose today they don't believe what you're saying. Don't spatter the truth with useless argument. Look over the dust-raising dog fights of minor details. Look up and see the gold-filled hills of tomorrow. Get by forgetting. Forget the little personalities. Get the big purposes. Don't clog your mind wheels up with the mud of jealousy. Let the wheels run smoothly and you'll make progress. Axles and tempers shouldn't get overheated. Keep the flame under the boiler. Arms. costs blood, time, attention, forewight, plans, progress. Be Lincoln-like. Let the army do your fighting. Master and you'll be master. Save your blood for thoughts. We have had nothing but agitation and hysteria in Colorado for so many years that it would be well worth while to try the experiment of all standing together in an effort to accomplish something for peace, quiet and prosperity. Instead of attempting to regulate everybody and everybody's business, why not devote energies to developing and expanding our own business!

Some colored folks do not know what it is to support each other until they either go in business themselves or have some one of their children go in business or send off some one of their boys to practice medicine or dentistry and when they come back, they want these same colored people that they would not patronize to give business to their offspring. Colored journals are being well supported, despite the fact that there are thousands who do not support them.—Ex. BOOSTERS 20; KUNERS 2.

SHOULD BURY DIFFERENCES Tennessee City Has Some Strong Race Men, and They Should Poel Their Issues—Beale Street For Mile or More Should Be Lined With Negro Business Houses. Memphis, Tenn. — The possibilities this city offers to the race for industrial and commercial development are not exceeded by any other city in the country and equaled by but few. Memphis is a commercial feeder for three states—Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi. The white captains of industry here having realized this have been pushing their wares into these states, and in return for their output secured capital to further develop and beautify this strategic business gateway. There are 60,000 colored people in this city and employment for all, for Memphis is a great manufacturing center that utilizes their labor in preference to the foreign speaking immigrants. Beale street, the principal Negro business street, is lined with Greek restaurants of doubtful sanitation, whose patrons are exclusively Negroes, and Jewish new and second hand stores, whose sales are made almost exclusively to the Negro race, to none of whom they give employment. Memphis numbers among our race some strong, intelligent and well to do men who, if they harmoniously co-operated, would make this city the pace setter for all other communities. I have visited Memphis three times within the past year and regretfully observed the lack of team work on the part of our people. Men in accord and those in opposition frankly told me without solicitation that factual differences which ought not to exist and lack of cordial co-operation alone prevent the proper development of the possibilities lying all about them. Memphis is more a city of individual efforts than co-operative efforts in so far as the race is concerned. The individual efforts have counted for much, but co-operative efforts would count for more. I repeat that Memphis has some strong race men, earnest race men and men who are actually doing things—men like Thomas H. Hayes, Robert Church, Dr. Terrell, Dr. Bentley, Attorneys Settle and Booth, Messrs. Clausen, Saunders, Scott, Roddy, Ward and others whom I might name. Were these men and others to come together in an effective business organization, pool their issues and co-operate Memphis would become for the Negroes of Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi what it is for the whites of the same states—a commercial center—and not only would it be dotted with retail stores, but wholesale houses and manufacturing establishments, owned and controlled by men of the race, would be inspired into existence. There are two substantial and well conducted Negro banks in Memphis—the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust company, the older of the two financial institutions, and the Fraternal Savings bank. Were these two banks to merge they would, as one big, strong institution, command a larger working capital, draw a vastly larger number of individual depositors and be in a position to make amply, secured loans that would develop Negro business enterprises in this city. Not only this, but a bank formed by the merging of the two would give employment to a larger force of members of the race than the two now working as separate institutions. Memphis presents a wonderful field for race operation and co-operation. If some race man not affiliated with any of the factions or some man from the outside with a capacity for organizing and harmonizing would enter the field and by a master stroke cement erstwhile factions Beale street for a full mile or more would be lined with Negro business houses. Until very recently the Memphis Negro Business league was inactive. I have noted that in every city that maintained a live, active business league there are to be found co-operative efforts which result in the establishment and maintenance of many business enterprises. A local business organization becomes a clearing house for business ideas and a stimulant to co-operation. The race owns and occupies some beautiful residences in Memphis. The Clausen home, on the estrictatic and beautiful boulevard, the homes of Thomas H. Hayes, Robert Church, Joseph Settle and Mr. Saunders being conspicuous because of their beauty and ampleness. Memphis is not behind some other cities I have visited because of a lack of capital being in the possession of men of the race, but rather because the capital possessed is not working in unison. Robert Church is a wonderfully aggressive man, possessing great means and the energy of youth. Thomas H. Hayes is another very energetic and successful business man who has amassed considerable of this world's goods. Messrs. Clausen and Saunders and several others I might name have made great success as individuals. Memphis is ripe for a business revival among our people. Memphis possesses the mma, and her men possess the means. Colored Man Awarded Prize in Magazine Contest. NINE THOUSAND COMPETED. Tuskegee Institute, His Alma Mater, Proud of Him and His Record—No Question, However Taxing to American Statesman or Publicist, Seems Too Difficult For Him. New York. — Everybody's Magazine for September, 1914, published in New York city, contains the announcement that its first prize of $500 for the best letter on the subject, "What We've Learned About Rum, or Rum and Remedies," has been awarded to Isaac Fisher, formerly of Vicksburg, Miss. but now of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Of his essay the editors of Everybody's Magazine say: "The article below is selected by us from some 9,000 letters as the best all round discussion of rum. Certain other letters have presented more extensive scientific analysis, but have confined the discussion to particular phases. Others have been brilliant in literary quality, but lacking in logical progression and care in the statement of facts. The letter below (Mr. Fisher's) sums up the facts about rum with admirable comprehensiveness and a telling directness of style and offers some remarkably same suggestions." What will send a thrill of pride through the hearts of all colored people beneath the flags of many nations is the fact that Isaac Fisher is a Negro, whom every colored man, woman and child may proudly claim as brother. If any man in America deserves the title "doctor of philosophy" it is this man, because he has done again and again more work in the philosophic exposition of economic questions of worldwide importance than any university has ever required of a candidate for the doctorate. His past record fully bears out this statement. Without even mentioning a large number of contests in which he has been winner and in which the prizes were less than $10, this man, a Negro, a Tuskegee graduate, in nationwide contests with the best brains in America of all races, has been prize winner some twenty or more times, and he has won on the following subjects, either one of which contains original work of the quality—higher than the quality—of the theses required by universities from candidates seeking the degree of doctor of philosophy. "What We've Learned About the Rum Question," $500. "German and American Methods of Regulating Trusts," $400. (Alone and unsaid Mr. Fisher had to master in a few months sufficient reading knowledge of German to be able to write this essay.) "Ten' Best Reasons Why People Should Go to Missouri." $100. "A Plan to Give the South a System of Highways Suited to Its Needs," $100. "Scales and the Housewife," $50. "Digest of the Uses of Adding Machines," $50. "The Relation Between Manual Training in the Public Schools and Industrial Education and Efficiency," $10. "The Most Practicable Method of Beginning a Reduction of the Tariff' honorable mention. (This essay was upon the request of its chief examiner sent to the United States tariff board for its use.)" These are only the big essays Mr. Fisher has written. At the recent meeting of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World in Toronto, Canada. Mr. Fisher's paper on "Advertising and Selling" was selected by the committee on awards as one of the "forty-nine best on the subject," thereby giving him a winning place in the first international contest he had entered. Tuskegee institute, his alma mater, is very proud of him and his record. He is one of her most loyal sons, and nothing seems to give him greater pleasure than to say that he owes everything to Tuskegee. He has studied in no other school. It may be that the race has not fully realized the real significance of what Mr. Fisher is doing for the race in his own way and line. In verity he is blazing a broad trail for us all in a direction and with a success not true of any other colored person, and he is a master in his line. No question, however taxing to the American statesman or publicist, seems too difficult for him, and the thing which makes glad the heart of every loyal Negro is that, how ever eminent and learned the other competitors and writers, when Mr. Fisher, working under his famous motto, used with telling effect in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch essay and in the essay on rum—"Get the Truth"—turns his mind to the analysis of a question, judges who do not know his race almost invariably place the results of his investigations, his essays, his philosophy, at the head of all those who compete. What the colored people want Isaac Fisher to do now is to prepare some books for and about the Negro—some enduring works, that colored children may read and be helped; some deathless classic that will inspire the race through all times. He is at present editing the Negro Farmer at Tuskegee institute.

On last Wednesday evening at the hour of 8 p. m. there occurred a very beautiful wedding at the residence of Mrs. Frances Miller, 2631 Humboldt street, when her daughter, Miss Adah, became the bride of Mr. Oscar Robert Smith. The house was decorated very beautifully with palms and lavender and white astors. The wedding processional started promptly at the appointed hour, after Denver's leading soprano, Miss Jennie Hicks, very sweetly sang "Because." The wedding march was played by Mrs. Gertrude Ross in her usual pleasing manner. The first bride's maid to appear was Miss Virginia Walker of Lincoln, Nebra, who wore a lavender crepe de chine and carried lavender astors; Miss Elizabeth Miller, the bride's sister, the second bridesmaid, in a lavender satin, closely followed, carrying lavender astors. The maid of honor, the bride's sister, Miss Lillian Miller, in a pink rose Canton crepe, carried pink astors, while the little ring bearer, Lester Lightner, the nephew of the bride, gracefully carried the ring. Leaning upon the arm of her brother, Mr. Harrison Miller, came the bride, whom the bridegroom awaited at the altar. The bride was gowned in a creation of ivory palm crepe and chifon and fascinatingly carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses and lilies of the valley. Rev. Robert L. Pope, pastor of Shorter A. M.

The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Former Age Editor Wants Race Title Respected. New York.—Lester A. Walton, one of the managers of the Lafayette theater in this city, who was until quite recently the managing editor of the New York Age, takes the New York Sun to task for not capitalizing the noun Negro when using it to designate the Negro race. Mr. Walton's letter to the Sun is as follows: To the Editor of the Sun: Sir—A news article in the Sun of Aug. 21 reads in part as follows: Narragansett Pier, Aug. 20.—An open air pageant and folk festival were given this afternoon by a chorus of Indian and negro singers from the Hampton institute. "Roll, Jordan, Roll," "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," "My Lord, What a Morning!" "My Old Kentucky Home," "Suwanese River," and other well-known negro songs were hard, while the Indians gave their tribal dances and ceremonial chants. In making mention of "a chorus of Indian and negro singers," "negro songs" and "Indian chants" I note that you see it to use the capital "I" in the word "Indian," while you make the word "negro" a common noun and fail to dignify it with a capital "N." Why such a marked distinction should be made between the two words I am at a loss to understand. The uncompromising insistence of our publications to designate the Negro race by using a lower case "n" in "Negro" is already giving our etymologists and genealogists no little trouble, and if this practice continues additional complications are bound to arise. Whether general use of the lower case "n" in "Negro" is due in the main to usage or otherwise, it seems that in this particular instance, in this progressive age and era of great reforms, when a determined effort is being made to right all wrongs, kindly consideration should be given a race comprising one-tenth of the total population of the United States, a race strictly American in every respect. Negroes who are proud of being Negroes and who are proud of being Americans native born do not look kindly upon such distinctions as made in the Sun of Aug. 21, for the drawing of such a distinction appears to them as an uncalled for disparagement of the Negro, in which right is sacrificed for usage or what not. Let the Sun be one of the influential journals in the United States to urge, that the "N" in Negro be capitalized, not as a matter of sentiment, but as a matter of right and justice. COLORED MEN ARE BUSY. Race In New Jersey Represented In Almost Every Occupation. BY RALPH W. TYLER. Washington.-Very few of the race have any conception of the great number of occupations in which you will find members of the race. There is hardly an occupation known to the United States that the race is not represented in, either as owners and operators or laborers. I have just compiled a brief summary of occupations showing the number of men and women of the race employed in them, and the number of men and women of the race who are owners, managers, clerical employees or laborers in these occupations. For instance, in agriculture there are 2,857,732 Negroes employed as follows: Cranberry growers; 3; dairy farmers, 208; farmers, 877,706; florists, 116; fruit growers, 306; truck gardeners, 4,466; nurserymen, 25; turpentine farmers, 113; vine growers, 1. Employed as foremen or managers in agricultural occupation, either for white or Negro owners, the race is well represented. As cranberry bog foremen there is but one Negro employed, but as dairy farm foremen or managers there are 15; farm and plantation foremen, 1,546; truck garden foremen or managers, 68; greenhouse foremen, 4; nursery managers, 7; orchard managers, 41; turpentine foremen and managers, 146. As agricultural laborers there are 1,000,460 members of the race employed in the United States, and as bookkeepers, stenographers and clerks connected with agricultural occupations there are forty-one young men and women of the race employed; while as blacksmiths, stationary engineers and machinists employed on farm or plantation there are 416 sons of Ham employed. Farming has been much exploited of late, and the "back to the farm" movement has led many to believe that but few of the race were engaged in farming, that is comparatively few, and as to forestry, no reference has been made whatever, yet in forestry 25,656 Negroes find employment. Of this number 181 are owners; 14 are managers; 111 are bosses, overseers or foremen; 17 are foresters; 13 are bookkeepers, stenographers or clerks; 21 are blacksmiths and 96 are stationary engineers. Employed as choppers, log drivers, sawyers, saw filers, scalers, teamsters, tie cutters and lumbermen there are 14,963 Negroes employed in the forestry occupation. So far as agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry is concerned, the number of the race employed as owners and as managers and foremen is especially very encouraging.

"The Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," lieutenant 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. A "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 Harlem, 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.

WINS HONORS AT BUCKNELL How the New President of Clayton-Williams University, In Baltimore, Is Regarded by Men of Letters—Capacity In Which He Has Served at Various Institutions. Baltimore.—Professor James R. R. Diggs, A. M., Ph. D., recently chosen as principal of Clayton-Williams academy, in this city, was born at Upper Marlboro, Md., in 1867. He was educated in private schools and at Wayland seminary. Washington, completing the normal course in 1886, the college preparatory course in 1894. He taught four years in the public schools of Prince George's county, Md. In September, 1894, he entered Bucknell college, Lewisburg, Pa., and completed the classical course, earning the degree of bachelor of arts and graduating one of the first honor men, and was one of the speakers on commencement day. In the college junior debate he was a prize winner in 1897. This enabled him to leave college out of all debt in 1898. On two occasions he was chosen by the college to represent it on intercollegiate debates, contesting with representatives from Dickinson college (1896) and Lehigh university (1898), being Bucknell's chief debater in the last contest. In both cases Bucknell was victorious. Other college honors were: President of the Theta Alpha Literary society, associate editor of the College Mirror, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and a tutor in Latin for delinquent classmates. As these honors came from white men alone in one of the best of northern colleges, there will be no doubt as to their import. In 1899 Bucknell conferred upon Professor Diggs for one year's graduate work the pro merito degree of master J. H. JAMES R. L. DIGGS, PH. D. of arts. At this time he was elected professor of Latin and instructor in philosophy at Virginia Union university, which also is his alma mater through Wayland academy. He resigned the professorship at this famous university to accept the presidency of State university, Louisville, Ky., where he remained until forced to take his family away on account of the failing health of Mrs. Diggs, who, the physicians said, could not live in Louisville. In 1902 he spent a session at Cornell university doing graduate work in the philosophy of education, the history of education, political science and advanced economics. He continued this course and finally earned the degree of doctor of philosophy from the Illinois Wesleyan university in 1906. The Tuskegee year book for 1913 gives the names of every colored man who has earned the Ph. D. degree in first class northern colleges, except that of Dr. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological seminary, who earned his degree at Boston university. Dr. Diggs is one of the two colored Baptists in that list. He studied for the ministry at Wayland seminary and took Hebrew and advanced courses in Biblical literature at Bucknell university. In theology he is Calvinistic and regards Dr. Strong's works as the best American works on the subject. He looks for ultimate unity of Christianism in answer to the prayer of Jesus in the seventeenth chapter of John. He is in sympathy with all modern movements to improve human life and will be at home in Baltimore. As a writer he is clear and purposeful, as a speaker he is forceful, but graceful, and by many he is regarded as very eloquent. As an educator he is one of the most prominent of the race, being considered worthy of a place in such publications as "Who Is Who In America," "Who Is Who In the World," "American Statesmen" and "The Men of 1912." Though a son of Maryland, he has done most of his work as an educator in other states. In 1901 he was married at Hinton, W. Va., to Miss Alberta M. Peck, a teacher at one time in Wayland seminary and also in the Hinton city school. Mrs. Diggs is a learned woman, cultured, refined and popular. She has earned both the A B and the A. M. degree pro merito and has taught German Horace and psychology, both as a substitute and member of the faculty of Selma university. Educational and Secret Society Work of Miss Pauline D. Owens. Mounds. Ill.—That merit, ability and worth count in this world is shown in the repeated re-election of Miss Pauline Dabney Owens to the position of grand worthy councilor by the Grand Court of Calanthe of Illinois and the honors that have been conferred upon her from time to time in her native state along other lines for the advancement of the race. Miss Owens was born in southern Illinois. She received her early education in the graded schools of Illinois and then prepared for the profession in which she takes the front rank as a teacher. At the age of seventeen Miss Owens finished her training and began teaching in the public schools of Mounds, where she has worked ever since. She is ranked as one of the best primary A. E. MISS PACULINE D. OWENS. teachers in the state regardless of race or color. She comes from a literary family. She has four sisters and two brothers, and all are successful schoolteachers. With a desire to render some tangible service to her race in another direction Miss Owens connected herself with the organizations which have for their object racial uplift and the saving of the youth. Her worth was soon recognized by the local Court of Calanthe, and she was promoted until elected grand representative. Three years she served in the position of grand register of deeds for the Grand Court of Calanthe, rendering such excellent service and making so many friends that she was called from that position to that of grand worthy councillor, to which she has been elected four successive times. Since she has been at the head of Calanthe it has been brought prominently before the people as never before. Illinois is regarded as one of the leading jurisdictions in the country. The officers and members are proud of their leader. As a public speaker Miss Owens is eloquent and convincing in her arguments, and these qualities have united in winning for her the position she now occupies in the hearts of the people. Wherever there is anything which means good for the race Miss Pauline Dabney Owens will be found assisting in any way possible. She is an inspiration to the girls and young women of our race. POET FRIEND OF EDUCATION. James Whitcomb Riley Hears Dr. Washington Deliver Address. Greenfield, Ind.—When Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke here recently James Whitcomb Riley, the famous Hoosier poet, although he was ill motored out from Indianapolis to Greenfield so as to be present at the meeting and testified by his presence his sincere regard for Dr. Washington. Mr Riley has been a friend of the Tuskegee "wizard" for many years and felt that he could in no better way show his friendship and good will than by being present at the Chautanqua meeting above referred to. As the many readers of the author of "When the Frost Is on the Punkin and the Fodder's in the Shock" know, Mr. Riley is a native of this place. He came to Indianapolis in the eighties and laid the foundation of his career as a poet, litterateur and lecturer. Dr. Washington was presented with a picture of the old Riley home at Greenfield.
