Sunday Alliance Makes Statement. Star Disagrees and Comments. Statement to the Public September 27, 1914. The Peoples Sunday Alliance has for years faithfully represented the interest of the colored citizen of this city. It owes no allegiance, nor is it bound by political ties to any of the parties, but has on many occasions too numerous to mention had the very best of reasons to commend Senator Patterson for his generous defence of our people whenever the opportunity presented itself. Whenever unjust criticism has attempted the spread of Race hate against Negroes, Jews or any other racial or social group, he has smote it with his matchless logic. Now that he is a candidate for the governor of this state we feel it our duty to him as well as to all good citizens of Colorado to urge upon you to give substantial proof of your gratitude by voting for him and urging others to do the same. His speech in the United States Senate January 12, 1907 in opposition to the tirades of Senator Tillman made against us, ought to bind all intelligent colored citizens to him with hoops of steel. But that speech is a mere bagatelle when compared with the many other stateman like services here at home. What has a number of citizens to hope for in the future, situated as we are, if they fail to recognize the sacrifices of powerful friends? What will be the logical sequence derived from our indifference and inactivity, if we ignore the statesman like defense of such men as Senator Patterson? It will be this. They will truthfully and justly conclude that we belong to that type of shambling humanity to whom, 'Hope is a chain, and gratitude a thread,' and we are unfit to be classed with rational beings. W.

Patterson TODAY as compared to the Republican party? Before we decide let us review the peculiar circumstances and conditions of Colorado, and the delicate position of the future of the Negro labor. Sen. Patterson is for Union labor. are popularly called the northern and southern, and they are both non-union and union. Unions have, however, looked upon these great fields employing in normal times about 13.000 men with avaricious eyes and have made many attempts to unionize them. In the fall of 1913 emissaries of the union were sent here from Indiana, West Virginia, and other States and all the power of the United Mine Workers was focussed upon the southern fields, and a strike was ordered. You have heard of Ludlow battle and the massacre of the innocents. You have already read of the activity of the National Guard. --- --- Colorado is a great coal state. We have more than 11,000,000 acre of coal lands of which by far the greater part still belong to the U. S. Government. 473,000 acres belong to the State of Colorado as Trustee for the School Fund and other funds. Of these 473,000 acres belonging to the State less than 14,000 are under lease and of the 14,000 leased to private parties only 5,500 acres are productive. Less than 3 per cent of the vast coal acreage of Colorado is held in private ownership. Less than 5 per cent of the total tonnage of coal mined in Colorado is from lands belonging to the State. The two greatest fields You too have heard of the to kill and murder other men labor agitators who are not workers themselves, but are mere parasites on workingmen's organizations, and they have for many years taught their deluded followers class and Race distinction, class and Race hatred and prejudice, and have encouraged class and Race war and the people who ought to know better have blindly encouraged them in their false teachings. who do wish to work in order to save their wives and children from starvation. It is no longer a question to whether non-union men shall be allowed to WOR in Colorado, it is now a question as to whether or not a man shall be allowed to LIV without permission from the labor union. These labor agitators under different names, in Pennsylvania as Molly Maguires, in Idaho and Colorado as the Western Federation of Miners and now as the United Mine Workers, have openly taught and freely practised the use of force, even though it lead to murder as proper means of inciting class and Race hatred and class and Race war. The shame, the suffering, the disgrace, and the fear that Colorado suffers today may tomorrow be borne by any State against which the United Mine Workers of American may turn its attention, where the Negro is employed. The pretext here is one thing, the pretext for the next outbreak may be another, but always the real cause is the fixed determination that the unions shall control affairs in all industrial pursuits and that the laws of the labor union shall take precedence over the laws of the land. In the southern fields we are told that there are now between 500 and 1000 Negroe's working in the mines and have been for many months, getting from $2.50 to $5.00 per day. Senator Patterson pledges "to settle" this strike. The Negroes are now working in the places of Union men. What does the Senator mean when he says he will settle the strike? When the time for settlement came the Union officials would meet and represent the Union; who would represent the non-union men? In the "settlement" of all these strikes where Union men are concerned "they are settled with the Negro out of it. In this crisis, Senator T. M. Patterson favors the unions; the unions opposes Negroes, then would it not follow that the Senator, by force of circumstance, by racial ties and by inclination favor union men in preference to non-union Negroes? Then why vote for him to get in to eventually get Negroes out? There must be peace before there can be prosperity. There must be order in the community and safety for life and limb before we can turn our attention to the correction of existing wrongs. Violence begets violence and must be repressed by the stern hand of organized society. 'I the good book tells us that if a man will not work neither shall he eat. We contend that if a man will not work, if he prefers that his wife and children shall starve, he at at least shall not be permitted o kill and murder other me who do wish to work in order to save their wives and children from starvation. It is no longer a question as to whether non-union men shall be allowed to WORK in Colorado, it is now a question as to whether or not any man shall be allowed to LIVE without permission from the labor union. The statement concludes with two questions: "What has a vast number of citizens to hope for in the future, situated as we are, if they fail to recognize the sacrifices of powerful?' From this question one would suppose that the Negro's failure to vote for the Senator would have a disastrous effect upon our future friends. If the Negroes' destiny were not in his own and God's hands, long ago destruction would have overtaken him, regardless of his friends or enemies. "What will be the logical sequence derived from our indifference and inactivity, if we ignore the statesman-like defense of such men as Senator Paterson? It will be this; they will truthfully and justly conclude that we belong to that type of shambling humanity to whom 'hope is a chain and gratitude a thread' and are unfit to be classed with rational beings." Why irrational or shambling because we refuse not to follow our own convictions and why indifferent, because we failed to see that, because a man has favored us in the past that we are eternally bound to him head, foot soul and body? Has his friendship toward us and for us been so valuable as to bereave us of our own manhood and individuality; if so we are paying too dear for such friendship. What other nation pays so dearly? Is it to be "inactive" because we like the Senator personally, but dislike his affiliations and associations and hence oppose? Why cannot Negroes object to the Senator's company without being ungrateful, shambling or irrational beings? Suppose the Senator to be a nihilist, socialist, anarchist or an I. W. W., yet a Negroes' friend, must the Negro vote for him on the strength of friendship and thus swallow, without gagging, all his tangling alliances, associations, circumstances and conditions embarrassing to Negroes? As far as the Negro is concerned the strike is settled now and if the Senator wants to "settle" his way the Star advises he do it without the Negro's vote. "Among free men there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bnillet, and they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case and pay the cost."—Abraham Lincoln. Interesting News Concerning the Race. JUSTICE IN GEORGIA. Here is a little story of an event in the Superior court of Fulton county, Georgia. It probably has no parallel in legal history: Two negroes, both named Will Russell, were in jail. One was under indictment for burglary. The other was merely held as a witness in another case. A deputy sheriff entered the jail and called off a list of prisoners to be taken into court for trial. He named Will Russell, meaning the alleged burglar. The other Will Russell, the one held as a witness, responded instead and went to court. He sat silent while the indictment was read, while the burglary victim identified him as the offender, while a policeman identified him as the negro on whose person the stolen property had been foun and so on. The lawyers urged, the jury retired, a verdict of guilty was reached and the judge pronounced sentence of two years. It was only after he had left the court room and was on his way back to jail that the negro complained to a deputy that a mistake had been made—he was not the burglar Russell, but the witness Russell. Investigation proved he was right. What of a legal system as careless as that? What of the attorneys who did not know they were trying the wrong client? These are the questions that the Georgia public finds interesting. So do we. -Morning News. From The Crisis. Congress has appropriated $55,000 for a Negro exposition to be held in Richmond, Va.

Louisville, Ky.—Narrowness, bigotry and color-prejudice tried to go a step further in opposing the rights and restraining the privileges of colored citizens when residents of the West End appeared before the Board of Park Commissioners and asked that lawn tennis courts in Shawnee Park now used by colored people be closed. Of course the next move would be to refuse colored people entrance to the parks at all. But the Board of Park Commissioners made up of such men as Gen. John B. Castleman, Col. Fred. Levy and others, refused to countenance such a proposition. The Board declared that colored people are citizens and taxpayers and as such were entitled to every privilege and convenience as any other part of the public. It furthermore declared that not only would the tennis courts in Shawnee not be closed, but that others would be opened in Iroquois and Cherokee Parks.—Louisville News.

The People's Sunday Alliance held a good meeting Sunday afternoon the 27th ult. The address of Mr. T. O. Mason on "Observations at the Nation's Capitol," showed preparation as well as careful and thoughtful observation. Many points of interest were described and the significance of the attitude of the present administration towards our people was brought out. Both the good and the bad side of the condition of the Afro-American were frankly told by Mr. Mason. For which we again thank him for it is the truth that must put us to meet the issue. Mrs. Florence Cooper's paper on "Women's Clubs" provoked a sharp but friendly discussion of their benefits and what is more, it was carried on by the women themselves. And as any other subject upon which light is thrown from both sides, interesting features were brought out. Already the officers of the Alliance are beginning to lay plans for the annual Celebration of the Emancipation to be held the first of January, 1915, and it will appreciate the cooperation of any, organization or individual who is alive to the import of this event.

J.-The East Orange social settlement, though but a little over a year old, is one of the powers for good in Essex county. It is under the auspices of the ladies' guild of the Munn Avenue Presbyterian church of East Orange, N. J., of which the following ladies are the officers; Mrs Geo. R. Howe, president; Mrs. Cyrus Hitchcock, secretary, and Mrs. Dr Charles A. Groves, treasurer. For fifty years the Munn Avenue church has taken front rank in its uplift work for colored people all over the country. One lady of the guild has been especially untiring in her work for the settlement, Mrs. M. L. Cook. In April, 1913, the services of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Burrell of Virginia were secured, and through them the settlement was organized and placed in practical operation. The purposes as taken from the Settlement folder give a clear idea of the work of the settlement. It says: The East Orange social settlement is conducted for the betterment of the community life of the colored people of East Orange. Its purpose is to help people to help themselves, to extend a sympathetic hand to those who may, because of circumstances, feel downtrodden and oppressed, to hold open the door of hope to every worthy colored boy and girl and to reclaim those who are erring. The settlement house is a model of neatness and cleanliness, and in itself is a powerful object lesson to the many children who come within its portals daily and who are pleased to call it home. Habits of cleanliness, thrift and self respect are inculcated, and the children of the settlement are taught to be jealous of their good name. Each child who is enrolled becomes a part of the settlement family, and Mrs. Burrell becomes the "little mother," while Mr. Burrell is the "big brother" of every one. As no two children are alike in disposition and requirements, a careful study made of every child in order to find out how he or she may best be helped. Race pride is taught through the study of prominent examples of Negro manhood and womanhood. The children are taught that here is hope for them and that they will be rewarded according to their merit, in spite of their color. The model flat, or home, as it might better be called, shows that a home can be clean and healthy though humble, and that one does not have to sell himself to the installment man in order to be happy. The settlement teaches that it is better to watch the cost of high living than to be bothered about the so called high cost of living. Through its cooking classes it shows how one may live well and yet cheaply. The doctrine of self help underlies all the work of the settlement, and the children are taught to depend on themselves for success in all things. The settlement seeks to help not only the children, but the parents are also visited in their homes and timely suggestions made as to how they may make the most of life for themselves and their little ones. The sick are visited, the hungry are fed, the naked clothed and those in distress of any kind receive a helping hand. The influence of the settlement for good is recognized on all sides and the judge of the children's court of Essex county has commended children to its care and supervision. THE J. E. SPINGARN MEDAL. Announcement of Conditions Upst Which It Should Be Awarded. Dr. J. E. Spingarn offers to furnish annually a gold medal not to cost more than $100, and to be awarded for the highest or noblest achievement by an American Negro during the preceding year, upon the following terms and conditions: The board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People shall select five persons, who may or may not be members of that board, as the committee of award, and this committee shall have full charge of the awarding of the medal, and its decision in regard to all matters connected with the medal shall be final. Preferably at the annual conference on the Negro, held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, this medal shall be awarded, with appropriate ceremonies, to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, and the committee of award shall decide for itself in each year what particular act deserves the highest acclaim, and nothing in this section shall be understood to limit their choice in any way to any one field, whether that field be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. The committee of award may withhold the award of the medal in any year if no achievement seems to merit it an award, and in that event the committee may employ the money withheld for the creation of one or more medals in the following year or years, to be awarded as a second, third or other prize in accordance with the same guidelines. The committee on award consists of Bishop John Hirst, chairman; Hen. William Howe and Tiff. Sir James A. Dillard; John Hose and O. World Garrison Villard. CHURCH DIRECTORY.

THE NEW WAV WHILE WE WAV SEWED SOLES 50 65 1855 CHAMPA High Rank of the Arkansas Baptist College. HAS COMPETENT FACULTY. Brief Account of Some of the Achievements of President Joseph A. Booker of the Arkansas Baptist College in Little Rock - Successful Educator, Organizer and Leader. Little Rock, Ark. - Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college in this city, is not only teaching the young men and women of the race the doctrine of self help, but is at the same time getting into their hearts and into their very being the lesson of the survival of the fittest, so that when they leave the school they are prepared to make good in any avenue of industry into which they may enter. Dr. Booker himself is a living example of the doctrine he preaches and teaches, because he started at the bottom floor, so to speak, and worked his way up to the presidency of one of the largest schools conducted by the race in this section of the south and is foremost among the race leaders of the country. He was born during the days of slavery and at the close of the war was of school age, having reached his sixth year. He is a native of Portland, Ark., and was reared on the farm. He learned his "A B C's" in the town of Portland at an early age. Having obtained a good foundation for an education, in 1881 he entered Roger Williams university. Nashville, Tenn., and remained there until he had finished the college course in 1886 and returned to his native state to accept the work of colporteur under the joint appointment of the state Baptist con- PETER B. Dr. JOSEPH A. BOOKER vention and the American Baptist Home Mission society. In this position he made a good record and won many friends. His ability as a leader of men and a great organizer was demonstrated, and he was selected to the presidency of the Arkansas Baptist college. At the time Mr. Booker was elected president of the school it simply existed on paper and required the services of a man to bring it into life. This has been accomplished, because the institution today ranks with the best of the country. During its real life the school has graduated 250 students. There are men and women from the institution making good in and out of the United States. Dr. Booker has dedicated his life to the work of education. His family, consisting of eight children, have been born in and about the college, have received their fundamental training there, and three at least have attended other colleges and universities for special work. In making up the faculty for this year care has been used in selecting some of the best prepared men and women available. They come from some of the best schools in the country. Miss Grace J. Thompson, A. B. a graduate from Shaw university, will be the instructor in Latin; Professor J. F. Jones, A. B., Th. B., of Roger Williams university, Bible and history; Professor M. H. Eldridge, a graduate of the Arkansas Baptist college, will teach Greek and higher mathematics; John A. Hibbler, A. B., is secretary to the president and has charge of the commercial branches. These are but few of the able men and women who will do the work during the year. There is a first class music department connected with the college. At the head of this department is Miss Mattle A. Booker, daughter of the president. Miss Tecumseh Morris of Corsicana, Tex., was admitted to Oberlin college on the recommendation of the Arkansas Baptist college. The following letter was sent to President Booker: "We are in receipt of certificate filled out by you to show Miss Tecumseh Morris' preparation in the Arkansas Baptist college, and I beg to report the acceptance of full rank in the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. There are no entrance deficiencies." Franklin A. Lovelace is in the University of Chicago. Dr Booker is assisted in his work by his wife, who is also a graduate from Roger Williams university. She has charge of rhetoric and English literature. RACE PREJUDICE NORTH. Roscoe C. Giles Barred From Course in New York Medical Institution. New York. Another case of flagrant and unwarranted race prejudice has come to the fore in this city. Roscoe C. Giles of Brooklyn, a Cornell graduate and a student of medicine at the Manhattan Maternity hospital and dispensary, has been requested by the directors of the institution to resign from the course of instruction for which he contracted and paid for. Young Giles, who is twenty-four years old and has an excellent record in the Boys High school, Brooklyn, and Cornell university, is said to be at the head of his class in Cornell Medical school and will receive his degree in 1915, provided he completes his course, one of the requisites for the completion being the care of six maternity cases. It was for this purpose that he registered as a student in the Manhattan Maternity Hospital and Dispensary. He paid the tuition fee, received his instruments and went daily to the institution, but was not assigned to any case. He complained to the medical board of the hospital, but was not definitely informed until Saturday, Sept. 19, that he would be requested to withdraw. The request came in the form of a copy of the letter sent to Dr. Richard Aurel Brown, secretary of the medical board, by Lewis Ialin, secretary of the board of directors. It is as follows: Dr. R. E. Brown, Secretary Medical Board: Dear Sir-At a meeting of the board of directors the following resolution was passed: resolved, That the action of the medical board in requesting Dr. Roscoe C. Giles to withdraw from this institution be approved and that his fee be returned to him. LEWIS ISELIN, Secretary Board of Directors. Maternity Hospital and Dispensary. The only explanation of the action that could be obtained by the young man, and even that was of an unofficial nature, was that his white associates objected to him. One of the young man's associates is his classmate, a young man named Buchstein, who has been a frequent caller at Giles' home and often has dined there, so it is said. The Manhattan Maternity Hospital and Dispensary is an institution chartered by the state of New York and is supported by private contributions. Many prominent New Yorkers were among the original incorporators, including Cornellius Vanderbilt. Frank L. Polk and Moses Taylor. The young man's father, who is an attorney, refused to say what action he would take in the matter, although he proposes to fight "to the bitter end." He claims that the institution has made itself able to a suit for damages. That National Association For the Improvement of Colored People has interested itself in the case and will conduct an investigation and advise regarding action to be taken. Congressman Metz of Brooklyn, who is interested in young Giles and assisted him in obtaining his education, wrote to the institution in regard to the matter, but without result. TASK FOR THE NATIONS. Ray Stannard Baker's Plea For Human Brotherhood. Ray Stannard Baker in a recent issue of the American Magazine has the following to say about prejudice of one race against another: "Why will men not see that there can be no true civilization while any men in the world are left out of it and that no race and no nation can go far forward while other races and nations lag behind? "Let the white person again tread the black person under his heels. (Say, which is trodden under heel after all?) "It is not enough that we give the alien nations our learning, our religion, our science. What signify all these things? Are we hurt by giving them? Are we not, on the contrary, the material gainers? No; we must be prepared to go further than that, else we have not learned the fundamental concept of religion. "It is not the great task of any nation that it shall remain pure or white or learned or that it shall assure to its posterity the possession of land and comfort, though this has been the belief and the doom of every aristocracy from the beginning of time. The great task of every advanced race or nation is to bring more love, more light, into the world. "A stand for racial aristocracy means war, hatred, barren exclusiveness and finally degeneration and failure; a stand for racial democracy and brotherhood means love in the world, friendliness, sacrifice, new fertility, a wider sweep for faith and final triumph. Individuals may suffer in the process, nations may perish, but civilisation, the kingdom of humanity, will grow, will become more beautiful. "We are willing to do everything for Chinamen or Hindus or for our own poor, except the one essential thing. Yes, educate them (a little); yes, teach them the religion of resignation: yes, give them shoes and coats, but do not disturb us in our luxury. "It won't work: it won't work. So long as we refuse to give ourselves we have failed utterly."

Every member of the association is in favor of the local option law, likewise is in favor of the strict enforcement of that law wherever it is invoked. They believe that each community should have the right to decide the license question in that community—in other words, they favor home rule. These business men of high standing are opposed to state-wide prohibition because they know that the enactment of such a law would seriously injure the business of every hamlet, town and large city in Colorado. State-Wide Prohibition Would empty thousands of store throw not less than 26,000 people o the tourist trade by fully 75 per ce less than 50 per cent; it would drive business and put Colorado in a rut and it Would Not Stop Drinking These are a few of the reason and the labor organizations are in ready in force in Colorado, and ag A VOTE FOR STATE IS A VOTE AGAIN VOTE "NO" ON STATE Would empty thousands of store buildings and factories; it would throw not less than 26,000 people out of employment; it would reduce the tourist trade by fully 75 per cent; it would increase taxes by not less than 50 per cent; it would drive capital from the state, demoralize business and put Colorado in a rut it would take years to get out of, and it Would Not Stop the Sale or the Drinking of Liquor These are a few of the reasons why the thinking business men and the labor organizations are in favor of local option laws as already in force in Colorado, and against State-Wide Prohibition. A VOTE FOR STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION IS A VOTE AGAINST LOCAL OPTION VOTE "NO" ON STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION TEXAS FROWNS ON PROHIBITION. Texas, which has handled the liquor question by passing one of the most drastic liquor laws in the New World, has paid its respects in no uncertain tones to prohibition. In a state-wide primary, not only has the anti-prohibition candidate increased his lead to 40,000 votes over his opponent, but the proposed prohibition amendment has been beaten by 20,000 votes! The verdict confirms the judgment of the people of Texas, who at the last preceding election chose Colquitt governor for the second time, on a prolicense platform. Texas, which handles its liquor problem in a manner to attract the attention of every traveler who journeys by railroad across that state, and tries to buy a drink on the train, has a state, county and city license system. The county clerk issues the state and county license, with fees respectively for $375 and $187.50, and the city tax collectors issue city licenses for $187.50 each. The main point of the recent primary is that Texah, having gained control of this matter through intelligent regulation, does not propose to let liquor get out of bounds through Rev. Lyman Abbott: "It was not the method of Jesus. He lived in an age of total abstinence societies and did not join them. He emphasized the distinction between His methods and those of John the Baptist, that John came neither eating nor drinking; the Son of Man came eating and drinking. He condemned drunkenness, but never in a single instance lifted up His voice in condemnation of drinking. On the contrary, He comenced His public ministry by making wine in considerable quantity, and of fine quality, and this apparently only to add to the joyous activity of a wedding." ```markdown ``` Boy, Lyman Abbott: no liquor dealers connected with ing merchants, real estate dealers, en in various lines other than the FRANK M.

The people of Texas thereby prove that they have gained wisdom through the mistakes of other states in that respect. There is something in this for the people of the state of Colorado to think about. They would do well next fall to follow the example of Texas by voting down state-wide prohibition, and how to the line with the present liquor law, which through its local option feature can grant prohibition to any community desiring it. DRINK AND DIVORCE This is a popular subject for those crazed with plous imagination and suffering from incipient insanity. Figures showing drink as the cause for divorce range from 70 to 95 per cent are shouted from tabernacle, tent and pulpit, and copied by every little editor in the country. Here are the facts from the United States Census: In "wet" Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, the average number divorces on file per 100,000 population is 41. In "dry" Kansas and Maine, the old reliable examples of public morality (hic), the average per 100,000 population is 113. Rev. 8. Parkee Cadman, Central Congregational Church Brooklyn, M. V. gregational Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. "When you enact a law intended to do more than it ought to do, it generally ends in doing less than it should do. For that reason I am opposed to prohibition by statute. I would rather see America free first and then have its citizens use its freedom for moral ends." Bishop Hall, Vermont: "Prohibition drives underground the mischief which it seeks to cure, making it more difficult to deal with the evil and impossible to regulate the trade; as for instance, in the quality of liquor sold."

Ohio’s Capital May Have Weekly Paper. It is reported upon good authority that a strong and vigorous weekly newspaper will be started in Columbus, ©., with the Hon. Ralph W.

THE NATIONAL LINCOLN-DOUG LASS SANATORIUM AND CONSUMPTIVE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION HOLDS ITS BIGGEST AND BEST PUBLIC MEETING AT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH. On Monday night, Sept. 28th, there was held at Central Baptist Church a splendid public meeting of the Lincoln-Douglass Sanatorium Association. The pastor of that church, the officers and members of the Ladies' Bible Class and the whole membership of the church are most heartily thanked by the association in behalf of humanity for their substantial encouragement of the movement by their presence and cordiality. We cannot speak in too high terms of Rev. Price and his co-workers, of their large number present and the hearty accord given this plan of progress. If the manifestations of that meeting are to be trusted, there will soon be some real constructive evidence of their sincerity. Plans were outlined by the officers as to future development work and met with an immediate response from the audience. But the program first, Dr. J. H. P, presented the subject, "The Need a Sanatorium in Colorado for Negroes," in an illustrative talk, taking a number of actual cases from Denver observations proving by facts rather than by argument that there was a sad and urgent need of such an institution, for self-preservation if for no higher motive. His thoughts were delivered in a finely sympathetic mood and directness of manner that stirred the emotions. The instrumental number furnished by Miss Galena Andrews, an advanced pupil of Miss Batrice Thrashley, was classical and was executed with marvelous technique for one of her years. But the address of the evening was delivered by Dr. C. D. Spivak. It is no exaggeration to say that very few speakers of one race enter into such frank and sympathetic relations with the audience of another race as did Dr. Spivak. He made no effort to flatter his audience nor to dodge facts and yet at all times he was highly respectful and conscious of his mission to be helpful. He spoke with freedom and with no seeming effort of stooping to get down to the plane of his hearers. He just entered immediately into the spirit of the occasion and went naturally and forcefully at facts. And when he said the common place, "I am glad to be here and to speak to you tonight," it was evident to his hearers that he was sincere. Although associated with the institution from the beginning of its effective work, he took no occasion to boost himself as its founder or the initiator of the movement. But told of the twenty poor Jews who had themselves been more or less afflicted with the dread disease, who met one night and collected $120 and sent two guards with the treasurer to prevent his being robbed. The writer wishes, he could convey something or the humor and pathos that his peculiar of hardships and the facts in their early history, and the encouraging information that he brought to us. He offered the colored people unreservedly his cooperation and also the benefit of their society's experience and the mechanism of their organization to assist us in propagating the effectiveness of our effort. But the climax of the evening was reached when Mrs. C. Barnes of Barnes Hotel fame, arose and made one of those spontaneous boiling hot speeches of hers on practical Christianity, and wound up by subscribing $10.00, followed immediately by a like subscription from Mr. C. T. Jackson of Dearfield and $5.00 from Mrs. Cornelia Campbell and $5.00 from Mr. Chas Britton and $5.00 from Mrs. A. E. Moore and $2.00 from Mr. Lennuel R. Gwen and this is only the beginning. For the officers now have the names of twenty-four volunteer workers who are willing to enter a membership campaign for five hundred members for the association in Denver. And there are more to follow. The following named persons paid one dollar as an annual membership fee: Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Mrs. C. Barnes and Mrs. B. Westbrook, Mrs. C. Barnes and Mrs. B. Westbrook, and one of the old "Mothers in Israel" 5c for the good cause. This most excellent meeting simply initiated the campaign. immediate steps have been taken by the directors to follow up this outburst of enthusiasm. All of the volunteer workers who have been enlisted and others who may wish to enter this campaign with us are called to meet Monday night, October 5th at 8:30 sharp at Barnes Restaurant, 2716 Welton St. Ways and means will be discussed and definite plans made to make the effort most effective.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method so 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.

[Phone Main 7702] LIFE STRUGGLES AT MOUND BAYOU COURAGE OF CHARLES BANKS Municipality Founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery and Inhabited Sely by Afro-American Experiences Severe Blow to Its Business Enterprises. Many Financial Difficulties. Mound Bayou, Miss.—If one should come to Mound Bayou, the queen city of Negro progress, in high expectation of finding sorrow or tears or bitter words for such evil days that have come and gone one would find "none slick." But one would find hope, and plenty of it; heart, and to spare; money to move the crops, and everybody lined up with the allies against the boasting Hun. Also Charles Banks would be found at home, sincerely set in the esteem of the community, and Isaiah T. Montgomery, whose statesmanship planted this fascinating retreat, still full of optimism and philosophy, bidding Banks to be of good cheer. Of all Mississippi towns Mound Bayou is happiest. Here the word is that the enemy striking at the Negro necessarily strikes at Mound Bayou first. When the Bank of Mound Bayou of which Charles Banks was cashier and founder, after eleven years of triumph, weathering every financial storm, was closed by the banking commissioner on Aug. 19 for liquidation, the papers made something out of it, but not much. The citizens of Mound Bayou made nothing of it, for the bank had built the town, invited the wonderful industrial development of the community, saved to the black owners the fertile lands and added an acreage of 80,000 and had been the accommodating fiscal agent of the believers who came from every direction to help in the triumph of the great black city against scorners $^{21}$ and scoffers all around. The people understood. A week later, when the insurance commissioner appointed a receiver for the Masonic Benefit association, the pioneer Negro insurance company, of which Charles Banks was secretary and treasurer, the daily papers, following "information handed them by fraternal politicians," printed many rumors calculated to lead toward unfairly judging Mr. Banks, but the people of Mound Bayou and all the people of Bolivar county were not disturbed. Mound Bayou knew that that blow was not aimed at either Banks or Banks' town, but rather at the mobilizing centers of all Negro efforts. Lord have mercy on the hindmost! The Bank of Mound Bayou was closed during Mr. Banks' absence. The examiner announced that there were no irregularities in the management of the institution, but that he was not satisfied with the character of the securities representing the bank's collateral. He held that the securities were Negro securities, representing Negro industry and Negro enterprises and for the most part covering the progress of the Negro town, and that when they were realized upon they would be covered by Negro money. Therefore for his purposes and according to his rule they were not worth while. Since beyond the banking department of the state of Mississippi there is no appeal and since the examiner exercises rights no man can dispute, there was no course open save to let the examiner have his way. Good luck to him on his travels! The examiner found $40,000 in deposits and $9,000 in cash, every dime in its place in the figures, every dollar on the books and every cent belonging to Negroes. Many a bank lives on and breathes easily in the certain security of that kind of margin. But they are not in Negro towns, nor do their cashiers fill such big places in the affairs of the state. The Masonic Benefit association was for many years the heart and pride of the Mississippi Negroes. It has been the widow's fortress and the orphan's retreat. Upon the death of Bishop Lampton, the greatest of all masters in his day, the association was placed in the hands of Charles Banks. Banks thought he knew his people; he was certain of his ground. After the affairs of the association had been placed in his keeping he found that he had taken over an indebtedness of $250,000. For three years he struggled against tremendous odds, and only when a whole sea of trouble arose to engulf him was he willing to surrender the Masonic Benefit association into the hands of a white receiver, and yet before the fatal day Banks had paid out nearly $300,000 to the widows and orphans and had cut the indebtedness from $250,000 to less than $100,000. He was the only man in Mississippi who could have done that. Master Masons knew it. The new law in the state of Mississippi dealing with the operation of judgments was too much for the Masonic Benefit association. Banks found it impossible to meet the judgments and pay all new claims on assessments collected, and the end came. He had postponed it four years. In due time there will be another bank in Mound Bayou. Already the people are asking Banks to build a new one on the glo vious ruins of the old one. The Bank of Mound Bayou is but one among more than 400 in the state of Mississippi that have fallen before the new banking law, and the Bank of Mound Bayou more nearly stood the test of the law than any that fell, and even successful bankers, doubt that it should have fallen at all. There will be another Masonic benefit association in the state. The name, of course, will be changed and rules and regulations necessarily altered, but the Masons will care for the wives and children of those fallen on the walls. Charles Banks will lend it the force of his amazing resourcefulness. The Masons will call him to the place he long against the common foe because of all black men he is the most capable for the task. Upon winding up the affairs of the M. B. A. the receiver, Hon. S. D. McNair, made a speech to the force. He said he found not even the slightest irregularity in the accounts or management of the office, and the office handled approximately $150,000 a year. Mr. Banks, he declared, had done better under the circumstances than anybody else had done and ought to be praised and not blamed. It was Banks who built the $100,000 oil mill. It was Banks who made the $10,000 ice plant a fact. His genius formed the great mercantile company here, in which he is the largest stockholder. The bottling works and steam laundry are children of his brain, and the beautiful Carnegie library that decorates the town is the result of his sleepless activity. As he has brought triumphs, so he has become the bearer of all the burdens. Critics and fault finders aim their arrows at his head. The mistakes of the community are laid at his door, and the shortcomings of others are added to his great responsibility. Howbeit, he is a big man, wears a smile as deep as the Mississippi river and hates dodging. He knows how to take his medicine. PREPARED FOR BUSINESS. Important Work of A. T. Glover In the Banking Line. Muskogee, Okla.—The race is making rapid progress in this section of the country. This is being shown from time to time by the men who are making good and who are filling positions of honor and trust. In this class belongs A. T. Glover, who fills a unique position in the business life of this city. He was born in Wichita, Kan., Dec. 7, 1880. He received his early school PETER H. A. T. GLOVER training through the public schools of his native city. His progress in school was very rapid. With a desire to be self supporting, when sixteen years of age he accepted a position in the National Bank of Commerce in his home town as messenger boy on a salary of $8 a month. It was not so much the salary as it was his desire to learn something about the banking business, if given a fair chance. Realizing in part his splendid opportunity, no attention was given to the meager pay, but he worked hard every day and was always on time. He did not idle away his time in having what the boys called "a good time," but took his rest at night and gave full satisfaction to his employer. The result of this faithfulness was that at the end of two years his salary had been raised and his responsibilities correspondingly increased. He advanced from messenger to individual bookkeeper, and at the same time he assisted in various other kinds of clerical work, including meeting with the clearing house force each day and making reports to R. G. Dun & Co. and Bradstreet's Mercantile agency. After several years' work on individual ledgers Mr. Glover was made reconciling and statement clerk and held this position until August, 1912, when he resigned his position and took up work with a large advertising house at Louisville, Ky., and remained with the company one year. As there is always a demand for a competent man in business, it is not surprising that young Glover was placed in charge of the affairs of the People's Bank and Trust company at Muskogee, Okla. In this position he made many friends and rendered excellent service. He was in a position where his real work and worth could be observed, especially by those in charge of the Oklahoma banking department. When the bank closed Glover was retained to assist in checking various accounts which amounted to about $00,000. The assets were given to him for collection, and in this position he worked hard every day. He is well posted in the banking business and is a credit to the race.

Among the noted business women from a distance who attended the recent session of the great convention of Odd Fellows were Madam C. J. Walker of Indianapolis, Ed. and Miss Lella W. Robinson of New York. Both women have won distinction in their chosen line of business and have opened up opportunities for other women in various parts of this country the West Indies. Bermuda and Cuba to enter the business arena. Madam Walker believes in the doctrine of self help, for she has worked her way up from the plantation in the south to a place in the front rank of the race's business women. She is always ready to encourage and assist those of her race who are industrious and who are willing to make a sacrifice of pleasure in order to better their condition. She is actively engaged at the present time in building out of her income a school in Africa. She also gives liberally to the various charitable institutions of Indianapolis and has recently given five scholarships to students at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, of which Dr Booker T. Washington is president It is said that the number of women whom Madam Walker has made it possible to engage in businesses of their own is 2,000. She attends a large number of the big conventions held by our people, both religious and secular, and is therefore well known among those who are doing things worth while.

SHOULD BURY DIFFERENCES Tennessee City Has Some Strong Race Men, and They Should Pool 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 factional 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 aristocratic 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 $t$. 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.

Baltimore.—Professor James R. L. Diggs, A. M., Ph. D., recently chosen as principal of Clayton-Williams academy, in this city, was born at Upper Mariboro, 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 classes. 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 one merito degree of master E. D. J. 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 falling helenite of Mrs. Diggs, who, the physician 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.
