pastorate of the First Baptist church at Oklahoma City; with his western energy and originality he has set a standard in church affairs which has been startling to the community to say the least. The church under his leadership recently has acquired a house of worship in one of the city's best residence district, where are found the former homes of President Grant. Senator John Sherman; Minister JnoHay and many others whose names are familiar in American history. Revs. Price and Scott also filled pulpits in the city during our stay.
We spent Labor Day in the the Capital City visiting many of the public buildings and places of interest. It was our privileges to inspect the offices of the National Benefit Association, the largest and wealthiest insurance company operated by Negroes in the world. The total income for this company for the year 1913 was $191,499.24, with resources amounting to $235,275.50. The

face value of policies written last year amounts to $7,999, 417.87. It is profitable as well as a pleasure to meet Mr. R. H. Rutherford, the genial manager of this gigantic organization.
After our visit in Washington we left Tuesday morning, Sept. 8th for Philadelphia, the city of "Brotherly Love." If this sobriquet can be justified by the number and magnificence of Philadelphia's churches the city has been well named. Seemingly from every street and corner the spires of these magnificent edifices point heavenward. And this same is true of the colored as well as the white people; there being more than fifty churches among the colored Baptist alone. The Philadelphia Baptist ministers's conference, which it was my privilege to address several years ago, numbers more than one hundred Negro Baptist ministers among its membership.

Dear Editor:
Pursuant to your request, I am sending a brief account of my visit east when attending our National Baptist convention at Philadelphia.
The trip was rather profitable as well as a pleasant one, in that, additional to our denominational affairs, we were able to gather some information relatives to conditions in in the cities of Washington, Philadelphia and New York, which I trust may be used to quicken and extend our interests in the West. Our party, including Rev. W. B. M. Scott, of Colorado Springs and Rev. Price of this city, left Denver on Sept. 3rd, via the Burlington R. R., enjoying a very, pleasant trip to Chicago, where we arrived the next day. After a few hours spent with friends, we left over the Pennslyvania System for Washington. It is of a passing interest to note the magnificent service rendered by both the Burlington and Pennsylvania roads,
which uniting furnish, perhaps, the most comfortable andpl easant accommodations between Denver and the East.
We were fortunate in arranging our schedule so as to take the Manhattan Limited out of Chicago, the fastest and most splendidly equipt train between Chicago and the East, making only one stop between Chicago and Pittsburg, a distance of more than 400 miles, and reaching Washington in about 20 hours. At Washington we were entertained by Drs. W. H. Jernagin and Thomas, two of the capital city's leading pastors, whose automobiles were at once placed at our service and who spent themselves in every way to make our visit pleasant and enjoyable. On Sunday, Sept. 6th I had the privilege of preaching in the pulpit of the Mt. Carmel Baptist church, without question one of the leading and most aggressive congregations in the city. Dr. Jernagin, its pastor, is a western man, having for many years held the
DENVER, COLORADO SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1914
Why Republicans Should Be Sent To Congress.
Washington City today, the seat of the General Government and ordinarily the pride of every patriotic heart, has degenerated in the past two years to a veritable cesspool of hell and hate against the American negro. There is a reason, of course there is one, and 'tis quickly told: The Democratic party now runs things there. The calendar of Congress is teeming with bills introduced by Democrats proving for such things as these: Repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, especially the latter, which gives voting rights to the negro; segregation and isolation of the few negroes still in office and whom the law forbids the Democrats to put out: dismissal of the negro soldiers of the Army and Navy of the United States, and forbidding the enlistment any more; Jim Crow cars for the City of Magnificent Distances; colonizing negroes into one part of the national city and forbidding their residing elsewhere, Jim Crow cars for inter-state travelers and other like measures.
The halls of both House and Senate echo day after day the fierce denunciation and slander of the Negro race, threat ening its men and insulting its women, applying to us such benevolent epithets of Nigger, coon, tree-climbers cocoanut-headed monkeys and the like. Democratic oratory spreads its wings with a flutter in libeling us as: Thieves, vagrants, degenerates, incompetents and imbeciles. The Democrats are in full swing, and the Southerners are running the Government with race hate as the headlight.
The negro must do more than exclaim "How long, oh Lord, how long!" This torment must end or our children will lose heart and give up in its pair: the women of our race will lose respect for us as men if we fail to act the part of men. Our duty at the present hour is to see to it that so far as we can to elect Republican candidates for Congress who must be sound in two very essential matters.
First—He must be sound on the fundamental principles of the Republican party.
Second—He must be sound all the way through on the negro question. We must be warned that to be sound on the first ground won't do, he must be an old-fashioned believer in the rights of all men, not merely of some men, he must believe not only in the little right of the negro to drill upon election day and vote for some white man, but also he must believe in the big right of the negro to hold office after election day, he must believe that the colored man, just as the white man, after he has fought the battle at the polls, should of right enjoy some of the spoils of victory after election day. We should nominate a man who, when he goes to Washington, will stand side by side with Republican war horses like Mann, of Illinois: J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsylvania; Payne, of New York; Madden, of Chicago; Humphreys, of Washington State and others, to put a muffler on the horns of Democratic hate. Generally a white man, square at home, stays put at Washington. But when a man is not sound right at home, then it is foolish to believe that he will be sound on the race question should he ever get to Washington. In all seriousness, Washington is a mighty poor place to make a white man a colored man's friend, when that white man was against the colored man at home. They go from better to worse in Washington, when they do change, but never from bad to good on this race problem of ours. This is not a time for guess work. Don't vote for a man, don't elect a man who is no more than an experimental station on the race question. Vote for a certainty. Vote for Hubert Work, of Pueblo. The conclusion is inevitable. Duty to your race demands that we support the certainty and eschew C. S. Thomas, the Democratic candidate whose candidacy means only more strength to the Democratic party. It's certainty against uncertainty; it is well for the colored man to let the white man know that we remember, and will not forget, those who play us false.
Another Good Reason Why All Colored Voters Should Vote for Hubert Work and Other Republican Candidates.
Mr. Keating, of Colorado. Mr. Chairman, I am in favor of the adoption of the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Murdock). I believe that all postmasters should be under the
civil service and should be taken out of politics and that will be the practical effect of the adoption of this amendment. I believe that it should be possible for a young man in my town, after leaving the high school, to take an examination for a position in the Post Office Department, with the hope of securing a distinguished position in the service, a position that would

Big Rally At Auditorium. Stirring Addresses Calls Thinking Men To Action Republican Party Presents Solid Front
COUNTY CHAIRMAN STEELE ELECTRIFIES HOUSE
The rally at the Auditorium Monday night was the most stirring, enthusiastic and inspiring event yet happened in the political circles of Denver. Thousands of men and women gathered to hear the next Governor of Colorado, George Carlson express his views upon law and order, and the dry amendment.
give him ample salary and insure proper care for his old age. I do not like to see my party indulging in these petty political tricks. I like to see the Democratic party stand up and do the big things in National life. What good will it do the Democratic party to dismiss the assistant postmasters in a few cities of the United States as thereby we lose the confidence of the intelligent, independent voters of this country?
You men who come from below Mason and Dixon line do not know what it means to fight for Democracy in the North and the West. It is not sufficient there to say "This is a Democratic ticket and you should vote it because your father was a Democrat." Instead, we have to appeal to the intelligence of our constituents. (Laughter on the Republican side.) We have to show them that the Democratic party stands for something entirely different from what the Republican party stands for, and unless we can do that we can not get the support of those independent voters who are essential to Democratic success in the West and North.
And it is just such things as this Cullom amendment that causes good men, and good women, throughout the North and West to say, "What is the use of quitting the Republican party and going over to the Democratic party? You are simply a crowd of spoilsmen who, when you get control of national affairs forget the principles that are at stake, forget the fact that the Democratic party gave us civil service, and endeavor to find jobs for job hunters." Mr. Chairman, I trust the amendment of the gentleman from Kansas will carry. (Applause.)
Mr. Rucker of Georgia-I say to you frankly that my district is a Democratic district, and for every post office in it I can find a Democrat who can give as good administration as any man ever have, and I intend, if in my power, to put a Democrat in every office. I do not dodge. I tell you the facts. Mr. Chairman, some gentlemen are civil (Continued on page 4.)

He did not disappoint them because no man as he has ever spoken so fairly and squarely from the shoulder, leaving no room at all for the knowledge as to exactly where he stood. The large concourse of people cheered so lustily that the big auditorium fairly shooked with indorsement of his views. The failures of the past six years of Democratic control of our State were easily pointed out, the many broken promises made before and after election were paraded before the audience and the utter incompetency of handling our government by the Democrats, was so vividly protrayed, that even the Democrats present, joined in the approval of a change back to the good old party with grand principles and a proud history of accomplishments. The Democrats six years ago took the State government from the Republicans in peace, upon the promise to workingmen and capital of better condition and a more economical administration of the State affairs.
They will hand the State government over to the Republican party next January, after six years of coveted opportunity and trial, after they have had a full chance to demonstrate Democratic ability and capability of handling governmental problems. With Democratic administration and machinery, such as President Lawson of the United Mine Workers, on the Democratic Executive committee, Supreme Court Judges, State officials including the Governor with a Democratic legislature and Democratic Adj. General Chase in charge of the State Militia, instead of maintaining peace and increasing prosperity, they have shown their inefficiency by paralyzing business, wrecking homes and families and plunging this state into an internal war such that it caused us to borrow a government from United States. They have shown that we were not able to govern ourselves and hence need a parent in the form of the federal troops.
They quarrelled among themselves thus retarding the State; they repudiated their platform of promises; they repudiated the Democratic Legislature and wound up af. (Continued on page 4.)

ELABORATE DINNER PARTY.
The elegant home of Mr. and Mrs. Washington Pennington was the scene of the most brilliant, well appointed dinner party ever served in Colorado Springs, last Thursday at 2 p. m., in honor of Mrs. Chas Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss. Mrs. Pennington is a most charming hostess. Her color scheme of red and white was beautifully carried out; the dining room table was amass with red and white dahlias; in the center was a magnificent hand-painted electroiler with the soft lights adding charm to the elaborate seven-course dinner of delicious new recipes. Covers were laid for ten, each guest received a dahlia as place card. Those present were: Mrs. Chas, Banks, Mr. and Mrs. James B. Garrett, Mound Bayou, Miss. Mrs. Ruth Bright, Davenport, Iowa, Mr. Barnett, Kansas City, Mo., the host and hostess. Music was dispersed by Mrs. Garrett, and with reluctance the guests left, having enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Pennington immensely.
Dr. and Mrs. R. S. Grant entertained most beautifully at 2 o'clock dinner, Sunday, complimentary to Mrs. Chas. Banks of Mound Bayon, Miss. The dining-table was prettily arranged with red and white snap dragons, tube roses and fern forming the centerpiece. Covers were laid for ten. Those enjoying this sumptuous dinner were: Mrs. Chas. Banks, Mr. and Mrs. James B. Garrett and son, Chas. Rowan Garrett of Mound Bayou. Mrs. Grant is an ideal hostess and graces with dignity her magnificent home over which she presides.
Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Embry entertained a few friends last Friday night at their cozy home in honor of his 51st birthday.
Mesdames Banks and Garrett were honor guests last Wednesday afternoon in a touring car sight-seeing party.
Mrs. Bettle Pratt was hostess, Tuesday evening, complimentary to Mrs. Chas. Banks and Mrs. Jas. B. Garrett of Mound Baqou, Miss.

Western Baptist Divine Makes Important Observations.
(Continued from page 1.)
Philadelphia is always more delightful to me than either New York or Washington, owing to its wealth of historical interest centering in the Revolutionary period. This, you remember, was the first capital of the nation, where is still standing old Liberty Hall, Liberty Bell, the home of Paul Revere, the home in which the American flag had its birth, with numerous other places of interest which call us into the immediate presence of the Revolution. Here we may see the room, with all its furnishings, where the Fathers framed and signed the Declaration of Independence. The home of William Penn, of Betsy Ross, the hall of the first Congress with its president's seat with the "rising sun," have never lost their historical interest.
During our stay in the Conventional city our welfare was looked after by Dr. Elbert W. Moore of the Zion Baptist Church, who installed us within one of the most pleasant and comfortable homes in his parish, Mr. and Mrs. Bishop Mitchell, on North Camac St. Dr. Moore, who was my predecessor in the pastorate of Zion church in this city, is without doubt the most influential negro minister in Philadelphia, and Zion church, under his leadership is one of the leading churches.
Philadelphia has the strongest corps of Negro churches of any city in the North, while the colored people in other branches of endeavor and in dustry, to use a common phrase, are "making good." A growing bank under the presidency of ex-congressman White is an index to the thrift and industry of the people. Here, also, the National Benefit Association of Washington, mentioned above, has just erected a magnificent office building, where it has opened extensive branch offices of the Association. The Provident and Douglass hospitals here are as elegantly and handsomely furnished as any you would find in our city, while the operating room of the latter institution is the envy of even Philadelphia hospitals. I have not the time or space to mention in detail the numerous other religious, fraternal and industrial institutions every one of which is a credit to the city, but will conclude with reference to Downingtown Training School, under Dr. W. A. Credit, which is doing magnificent work in training Negro youth.
shall not be able to speak of the work of the National Baptist Convention, other than to mention the usual multitudes with their enthusiasm, reporting a constituency of nearly three millions and enrolling at that meeting delegates from Africa, the Philippines, Cuba, Panama, Canada and the United States. Almost the entire official staff was re-elected, including myself as one of the vice-presidents. It was not my privilege on this visit, to preach to Dr. Moore's congregation, though he had kindly placed me on his Sandy programme; instead, I was sent by the Convention to deliver the message from the pulpit of one of the large white churches, in doing which, I did not forget to remind the congregation that I hailed from a place called Denver, Colorado. I took it, entirely, as a compliment to our city, when they asked me to come again.
The work of our Convention this year was of such volume and importance that our visit to New York City was made necessarily brief. However, we had the pleasure of enjoying it in company with our old friend, Rev. L. W. Harris of Carrollton, Missouri, who built up our work at Canon City. Most of our interest centered in the business section of the city where we inspected many of those massive sky-scrapers which are the wonder of the world. It is a sensation to stand upon the tower of the great Metropolitan Building which lifts its head forty-five stories above Madison Square. But this has now been dwarfed to a commonplace since the building of the Woolworth Building, the tower of which is ten stories higher. On lower Broadway the New Equitable is being constructed which is bounded by four streets, the entire body of which is lifted thirty-six stories above the pavement. This is the largest office building in the world. A hurried trip to the Battery; Wall St.; Old Trinity Church; the Sub-treasury and such places of interest in Lower New York completed our tour of that city.
I have neglected to refer to the great Wanamaker stores in New York and Philadelphia, especially the latter which is the largest retail store in the world. John Wanamaker, the great Christian Merchant Prince, showed his quality when he invited our Convention and entertained it at an afternoon session in the Egyptian Auditorium of this great store. Within the center of this great building is a Grand Court extending upward eight stories and here is built the largest and most expensive pipe organ in the world, the pipes of which are six stories high. At the appointed hour business was practically suspended, and as the two-thousand delegates in column of fours filed in to the building that great organ in wonderous melody thundered out our conventional songs. It was one of the most thrilling moments in my life. I heard a bystander say, "it can never be forgotten."
When the Convention was over I left hurriedly for Denver, stopping only for a few hours in Pittsburg and Chicago. Before returning, Rev. Price visited Petersburg, Va., and Brother Scott came by Raleigh, North Carolina. The East is interesting and forms an instructive study, but to a man western bred there is no place on earth like these mountains. Respectfully yours, DAVID R. OVER.

Occupations In Which the Race Is Eng gaged Exclusive of Farming. By RALPH W. TYLER. Washington.-Quite recently I gave the number of colored men engaged in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry in the United States. The number, especially of those who are owners, managers or foremen, must have proved a revelation. That the race does not confine its operations exclusively to the farm, but extends its operations practically to every other industry, is shown by the number employed, either as owners, managers, foremen or laborers, in the extraction of minerals and the like.
Engaged in coal mining there are 40,623 members of the race employed. Of these twelve are owners or operators, two are officials of companies, eight are managers or superintendents, 116 are bosses, foremen or overseers, seventeen are bookkeepers, cashiers or accountants, eight are clerks, four are draftsmen, one of whom is a woman; fifteen are electricians or electrical engineers and thirteen are mining engineers, the remainder of the more than 40,000 engaged in coal mining being distributed as laborers, car builders, machinists, drillers, drivers, motormen and the many other occupations associated with coal mining.
In copper mining there are 282 members of the race engaged; none as owner, official, manager or superintendent, but at least one as a boss. In this branch of mining, however, there are three engineers who are identified with the race. In gold and silver mining there are 302 Negroes employed, two of whom are owners and four of whom are mining, civil or mechanical engineers, while the balance employed are distributed among the various other departments of gold and silver mining.
There are 5,379 members of the race engaged in ore mining, fourteen of whom are owners or operators, one as manager or superintendent, nine as bosses, foremen or overseers, one as mining engineer and ten as stationary engineers, the remainder being mechanics, clerks, motormen, laborers and various other employees. Engaged in lead and zinc mining there are 278 members of the race, three of whom are mining or mechanical engineers, seven are drillers, and the remainder are laborers and skilled mechanics.
Engaged in quarrying there are 10,348 colored men, thirty-eight of whom are owners or operators, four as managers, thirty-nine as foremen or overseers, four as clerks, fifty-eight as stationary engineers, two as inspectors, fifty-three as blacksmiths, seven as carpenters and the balance distributed among the skilled laborers and unskilled laborers connected with quarrying. I have ascertained that in the oil and gas well industry there are 266 colored men employed, six of whom are owners, two as bosses, eight as engineers, eight as drillers, seven as tool dressers, the remainder being engaged in common labor or other occupations connected with drilling for oil and gas.
In the production of salt, oil and natural gas—namely, employed in the factories or refineries—there are 208 colored men, one of whom is an owner, three as bosses or foremen, eight as coopers, while the remainder of the 208 employed are engaged as skilled and unskilled laborers and in other occupations required in the production of salt, oil and gas. In all there are 62,755 members of the race engaged in the extraction of minerals in this country, a number that testifies to the fact that the race confines its efforts to no one single occupation.
Questions Candidates For Congress.
The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, New York, has sent the following questionnaire to all candidates for congress of the Republican, Democratic and Progressive parties: Will you, if elected, vote against any measure abrogating the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments? Will you vote against segregation in the federal service, presidential segregation in the District of Columbia, segregation in Jimcrow cars in the District of Columbia? Regardless of whether you advocate racial intermarriage, will you oppose the passage of a law making such marriage in the District of Columbia invalid, since the enactment by states of such laws has led to the degradation of Negro women and children? Do you under any circumstances justify lynching? Do you favor the enforcement of clause 2 of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution?
The association requests an answer to the above from each candidate by Monday, Oct. 12.
John Woodson Appointed Fireman.
John Woodson, who recently passed a successful examination as a candidate for the New York fire department, has been assigned to duty by Commissioner Adamson. Mr. Woodson was third on the eligible list of civil service applicants. He will work on truck 106, at 124 Greenpoint avenue, Brooklyn. Mr. Woodson is perhaps the first Afro-American to receive an appointment to the fire department in New York city.
New Branch of Advancement Society.
The Newark (N. J.) branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People held a big public meeting at the Bethany Baptist church in Newark. Thursday evening, Oct. S. at which Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard of New York was the principal speaker. Rev. Dr. R. D. Wynn. pastor of the church, presided. The meeting was largely attended, and much enthusiasm prevailed.
BENEFACTOR OF ALL THE PEOPLE
HIS CAREER AS STATESMAN
Originated and Introduced Bill In Ohio Legislature Making First Monday In September Annual Holiday In Honor of Labor—Popular With Labor Unions Throughout Nation.
Philadelphia.—Perhaps but a very few of the leaders and but a small percentage of the members of the many labor unions are aware of the fact that the father of this bill which made the first Monday in September a holiday in honor of labor was a colored man, says G. Grant Williams in the Philadelphia Tribune. The first Labor day bill was written by John P. Green, attorney-at-law, Cleveland, O., in 1800. He was then a member of the Ohio legislature and personally introduced his bill before the Sixty-ninth general assembly.
The bill was strenuously opposed in the committee, but when it came before the main body for passage the Hon. John P. Green was very much in evidence. He made an eloquent plea in defense of the bill and urged its passage because of its unusual importance. He quoted the number of labor unions in the state of Ohio and their enormous membership and voting strength. The bill passed, and Mr. Green was called the "Daddy of Labor Day."
On several occasions Mr. Green was the guest of honor of the Amalgamated Trades of Cincinnati and on one oc-
M. B.
HON. JOHN P. GREEN.
casion rode with distinguished citizens at the head of the Labor day procession.
The bill was the first passed by a state legislature legalizing Labor day as a holiday. With a few changes it was afterward presented in and passed by congress, indorsed by the national labor body, and since then the day is considered a national holiday in all the states and the District of Columbia and Alaska.
For three years following the passage of the bill by the general assembly Mr. Green was the honored guest of national labor union bodies and was toasted and feted as a leading advocate of labor legislation. Indorsed by the labor unions, he was subsequently elected to the senate of Ohio. He was the first and only colored man so far to have that honor.
John P. Green of Cleveland, O., was born at Newbern, N. C., on April 2, 1845, of free and humble colored parents. His father died in 1850, leaving his mother a widow with three small children. Mrs. Green sold her slender belongings, the remnant of a fortune which the elder Green had lost, and took her three children to Cleveland July 7, 1857. John P. was then twelve years of age. After attending the common schools of Cleveland young Green set forth to buy a home for his mother, it was a long, hard struggle, but in 1866 the last dollar was paid.
In 1860 he was graduated from the Central high school of Cleveland, having taken a classical course. Subsequently he was graduated from the Ohio Union Law college in Cleveland.
Senator Green's public record began in 1870, when he was admitted to practice law. In 1873 he was elected a justice of the peace of Cleveland. He was three times elected and served continuously for nine years, during which time he commenced and disposed of about 12,000 cases. In 1882 Mr. Green was elected to the general assembly of Ohio. In 1891 he was re-elected to the legislature, and in 1892 he took his seat in the senate of the Seventieth general assembly of Ohio, being the only colored man ever elected to that body.
During his service as senator he was called upon to preside over the senate, and it is worthy of note that during the time he presided over that body he was de facto lieutenant governor of the state of Ohio. During the period from 1897 to 1906, nine years, Mr. Green discharged the duties of United States postage stamp agent under both Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt. During eighteen months of that time he discharged the duties of acting superintendent of finance of the postoffice department.
THE VOTE
MAINE REPUDIATES STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION
The oldest Prohibition State in the Union has decided to cast off the manacles of fanaticism. In the state election held September 14, 1914, Maine voted by an overwhelming majority against State-wide Prohibition and in favor of Local Option. This means that at the earliest moment the Prohibition question will be resubmitted to the voters, and a law like that in force in Colorado will be enacted in Maine as representing the views of its people.
One of the most fearless fighters for Local Option in the late campaign was United States Senator Charles F. Johnson, able statesman and advanced thinker. Speaking of the deplorable results of Prohibition in his home State, Senator Johnson said:
"Why has this condition continued in the State of Maine for so long a period? It is not difficult to ascertain. It lies in the failure of public sentiment to support the law in our larger communities. And who makes this public sentiment? I should be loath to ascribe its creation and its continuance as some do, to the lowest classes in our cities and larger towns, and it would be a most serious accusation to be brought against them that the intelligent citizens do not and cannot control.
"The truth is that the majority do not now, and never have, wanted real enforcement. The time has arrived, I believe, when the citizens of this state should look conditions fairly, squarely and honestly in the face and attempt real, wholesome, sensible temperance legislation, not for the purpose of satisfying anybody's ideals, but for the purpose of regulating and restricting the sale of intoxicating liquors, bearing in mind that the people on whom they are to operate and for whose benefit they are enacted are no better and no worse than the citizens of other states."

HIS OWN FREE AGENT. Clarence Darrow.
If I am born free, or become free by act of law, and if I am of age and able to look after my own business and haven't any guardian and can buy a horse or sell a farm, then I ought to be able to order my dinner at the hotel and say what I want to eat and what I want to drink. . . . It isn't for me to prove my right to do it. The fact that I live and breathe in a country consecrated to individual liberty is enough. I have the right to do it because I am a man, and a man who lives under a government where people are supposed to be rulers of themselves, instead of their fellow men. And that is all there is to it. If a man tells me, "You can't drink beer," then it is up to that man to give the clearest and most explicit reason why my liberty should be curtalled. It isn't for me to prove my right to drink beer any more than my right to breathe air or drink water.—From the greatest organized labor attorney in the United States.
"Prohibition has been disastrous to the cause of temperance."—Bishop Clark, Rhode Island.
EMINENT DIVINES CONDEMN PROHIBITION.
Cardinal Gibbons:
"The establishment of prohibition would be impracticable and would put a premium on the sale of intoxicating drinks.
"When a law is flagrantly and habitually violated it brings legislation into contempt. It creates a spirit of deception and hypocrisy, and compels men to do insidiously and by stealth what they would otherwise do openly and above board. You cannot legislate men by civil action into the performance of good and righteous deeds."

four dry cities having a total population of 212,000 in 1899, reported drunkenness and crime as follows:
Arrests for drunkenness, 3,157; total crimes, 9,639.
Portland, Ore., Elizabeth, N. J., Elmira, N. Y., and Rockford, Ill., four wet cities with a total of 217,000 population and 692 saloons in 1899, reported:
Arrests for drunkenness, 2,591; total crimes, 6,580.
Same year, the four dry cities had 230 public paupers, while the four wet cities reported 55. Suicides in the four dry cities was 0.521 per 1,000 against 0.354 per 1,000 in the wet cities.—See Bulletin No. 24, Department of Labor, 1899.
Rev. Dr. Blanchard, Portland, Me.:
"My eyes were open to the great evils of prohibition in a very few years. The clubs organized by young men, the selling of tile decocions by women and children, the hypocrisy and corruption arrested my attention."
Rt. Rev. P. J. Donohue, Roman Catholic Bishon, Wheeling, W. Va.
the Bishop, Wheeling, W. va.:
"While I recognize the evils of the liquor traffic, I am nevertheless driven to the conviction that prohibition will be a failure in the attempt to cope with such evils. In many states it is already a failure, the net results of such legislation being to multiply illicit bars, and at the same time to deprive the commonwealth of the revenue accruing from license."
Bishop Bashford, Peking, China.
"If I had, the power to thrust prohibition on a community I would not do it unless the community wished it."

FACING THE LIONS.
The election of the Hon. Hubert Work as the Senator from Colorado in the place of Sen. C. S. Thomas (Dem.) is a matter of exceedingly vital concern, not only to the Republican party in the State but in the Nation as well. If in the coming elections, the Republicans of this country sustain a net loss of only three United States Senators, the Democratic membership in the Senate becomes so increased that it will be impossible for the Republicans, under the most favorable circumstances, to secure a majority in that body until March 4, 1919. This means, should a Republican be elected in 1916, that he would be confronted with a Democratic Senate for at least the first two years of his term, a Senate hostile to his policies, doubtless antagonistic to his administration, and blocking the way of all affirmation legislation. Why, thus embarrass the coming Republican President and his administration, when true Republicans can now set all doubts as to the future?
For instance: No tariff law protective to American industries could be enacted until after March 4, 1919, four years hence and then some—and the business and labor interests of the country for that period of time could receive no relief from the injurious effects of the present Democratic tariff law. The Star wants to see the intelligent women along with the intelligent men of the country vote. The Republican party is pledged to it and for that and other reasons is why we must elect Dr. Hubert Work as the successor to Sen. C. S. Thomas.
Any Negro pretending to work for the success of the Republican Party and its candidates and found doublecrossing either candidate or party, will be, upon the production of satisfactory evidence, reported to the party who recommended them and then the facts published in the Star. If you don't believe with the Republican party or any of its candidates, don't work for them and accept their mono. Don't deceive, because there are no who believe and will work
We are pleased to congratulate the representative men and women of Color upon the splendid recognition being given us by the Republican Party through the State and County Chairmen the Hon. Phillip B. Stewart and George Steele. Much work on the part of some of our best men had to be exerted to convince them of the necessity of a permanent organization, and they finally gave recognition to our representatives on each of the executive committees. Not only that but they have provided for a headquarters and have already put nearly 50 people to work at wages ranging from $3 to $5 per day.
Complaint has been made to us that "some of the big Negroes" when hired to do canvassing work at a certain wage per day (for 8 hours), were found home making plies; doing washing, some down shopping; yet drew their day's pay. The Star is against this sort of practice and has pledged itself to publish the names of those who "shlkr" this time. There are too many good honest people who will give value received for the chance to work. Let us all be fair and honest and "deliver the goods," because much in the future depends upon our activity and success. We thank the broad hearted chairmen for their recognition and kindness.
The Star recogizes the receipt of the article from W. H. Duncan of Glenwood Springs. We will publish it next week.
MANY THINKING MEN AND WOMEN OF COLOR REGISTER—LAST DAY NEXT THURSDAY, OCT. 15TH.
It is gratifying to know that the lively interest taken in the registration of the voters is producing the much looked for and longed for enthusiasm which is related to any important election. The registration in the Five Points districts have been unusually heavy and if such interest and action is shown throughout the state the heaviest in the history of the state will be cast. The Republican party have already set out her sentinels and workers of Color and the indications point that a fitting re-

buke by an overwhelming majority will be administered to the Democratic party by thousands of unemployed men and women. The Negro thinks, knows and keenly remembers the "Jim Crow" bills introduced in the past Democratic legislatures by the Democrats as to our School system and the marriage of persons. The Negro also realizes that he must assist in sending congressmen to represent them and that interests of the Nation and not to represent the prejudices, whims and desires of the Tillmanic-Vardamanistic South. The Negro knows that the hand springing Senator Thomas of Colorado was not a true representative of nor did he represent Colorado, nor the interest of the Negro, when both were seriously threatened. Pres. Wilson must be taught that when he spits into the face of the ambitious Negro-by his segregating methods, that Colorado Negroes will resent the insult by cutting down his majority in Democratic votes by electing Republicans in their stead. So every man and woman of Color is spolling to assert his or her manhood and womanhood by rebuking the disgrace and Southern arrogance which our race has had to bear by voting a straight Republican ticket with no scratches.

service made. You Republicans who have trampled on the spirit of civil service law for 20 years now think it is popular to say to a great horde of thinking, struggling American citizens that only those who can make a grade shall be permitted to hold a Government position, but you are mistaken. Why, down here in some of these departments today you have to rub against and walk over half a dozen Negroes to get into some of the departments of the Government. I say when you put messengers—big buck coons—on the civil service list and bar a white boy, and bar the aspirations and hopes of the thousands and millions of boys in this country who are competent to do this service you gentleman are playing politics, and there is nothing else in it. (Applause on the Democratic side.)
Republicans Fighting Armageddon.
(Continued from page 1.) ter one set of State officials openingly fighting each other by embarassing and repudiating Governor Ammons and Adjit. Chase, who were trying to settle a labor strike engendered by the attack on capital and the encouragement of labor to rise up, as against the encroachment of capital.
Messrs. Sam Nicholson, Isaac Stevens, Dr. Hubert Work spoke also of the general conditions. But the County Chairman Geo. Steele electrified the audience by pouring volley after volley into the Democratic camp. So many good and valuable things were told by the speakers that the large audience laughed at the mentioned of the democratic administration. The Republicans were the only supporters for law and order by which Governor Ammons was not embarrassed, Thousands went away
and enthused more than ever to work for registration of voters and for Republican success November 3.

ECONOMY IN USE OF SCHOOL FUNDS
Progress of a North Carolina Institution Noted INFLUENCE OF GRADUATES.
Agricultural and Mechanical College at Greensboro Shaws Increase In All Departments — Success of President James B. Dudley as Educator and Defender of Human Rights.
By GEORGE F. KING.
Greensboro, N. C.-The North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical college in this city, for the education of colored youth, begins the fall term with an increase in all departments. The faculty is composed of well known educators, and the school ranks among the best in this section of the country. Graduates of this school are to be found among the leaders of the race in many states. They are holding positions of trust and responsibility and are making good along lines of useful endeavor. Through the good work
P.
DR. JAMES B. DUDLEY.
which the alumni is doing the school has become widely known throughout the state and the nation.
The funds provided by the state for the use of the institution are economically and wisely expended. The president of the school, Dr. James B. Dudley, is a man of great executive ability, and his influence in the south argues for much in favor of the amicable relations existing between the two races in this section. He has been at the head of this school for the past eighteen years. Dr. Dudley is devoting much time and energy at the present time to the movement in this state having for its object better accommodations for the colored people on the railroads. He takes a manly stand against anything which tends to degrade or in any way retard the progress of the race.
Some time ago, when the attempt to segregate the colored farmers was made, Dr. Dudley was foremost in defending their rights against this jim-crow policy. He does not seek to stir up strife, but bases his efforts on the law as it relates to each citizen's rights to pursue his chosen calling without being molested, so long as such rights do not infringe upon the privileges of others. He has a host of friends among the masses of both races and is a true exponent of the gospel of fair play for every man, regardless of race, creed or color. He believes in law and order; hence his wise counsel has been of great service to the colored people in this city and state.
Wherever there is an attempt in any part of North Carolina to supplant members of his race by the employment of foreign labor Dr. Dudley is at the front pleading the cause of the colored laborer against injustice and race discrimination. Industrial education is impartial in the bestowal of its blessings. It offers its gifts to the people of every race or clime without restriction, and to the colored people of the south its offerings have a peculiar significance, says Dr. Dudley. The older men of the race who were leading merchants and workmen among them wrought well in their day. They were masters of the art of getting good results.
With the disappearance of the old guard the field for the Negro mechanic has been greatly reduced. They are being displaced in many sections by foreigners. This is a serious loss to our people, yet there is encouragement in the fact that we have it within our power to arrest this serious loss by thorough preparation which will enable our people to compete with any class of workmen that may come among us. Efficiency is the watchword of the age. The prepared man gets the job, and the man who can fill the requirements in promptness, exactness, honesty and reliability will not only get the job, but will hold it.
The progress of the race thus far is due almost entirely to the fact that we early grasped the spirit of education and industrial pursuit, and if we continue to cultivate this spirit our future progress will be far greater. Hard training for special lines of work, a better knowledge of values and the courage of honest convictions will do much to sustain us in the great struggle of the survival of the fittest.

THE NISBET RECALL CON-DEMNED.
Prof. Watson and Others Speak at Eureka Hall Wednesday Night. Nishet the Right Man. Says
Everybody.
Last Wednesday night at Eureka Hall hundreds yelled themselves hoarse espousing the cause of Commissioner of Safety Nisbet, whom they said and publicly witnessed had been a fair and square man to them. Tob Johnson, a high Mason of character, stood up and proclaimed how the commissioner recognized him and the race by an appointment as jailer at the county jail. "I receive no discrimination over there and am treated like any other man. I plead with my race to stand by him in this hour of test and trial." If for fairness and just dealing, as perfect as human nature can deal out to the many different classes of individuals in our humanity, Commissioner Nisbet, a mere human, has been fair and square.
He is my true and tried friend, tested by fires of race hate and commercial prejudice; yet he has always rung true," said Sylvester Stewart, the popular club man and promoter. "All that I ask is that if you don't vote for him, please don't vote for anyone else," Mr. Stewart continued. "I was offered the position as a full fledged detective in the police department with full pay by ALEXANDER NISBET. Vote for Mr. Nisbet Friday, Oct. 16th, and help men who recognize and help you." Three cheers were given and all stood up, pledging themselves to work and vote for Nisbet next Friday, Oct. 16th.
FOREMOST IN BUSINESS.
How Mme. C. J. Walker Is Helping Women of the Race.
Boston.—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, Ind., 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.

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 "POR" 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 these 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 persona coming in contact with them.

DR. SCARBOROUGH DEFENDS SCHOOL
EXPLAINS TRUE SITUATION.
U-warranted Attack on Noted Ohio Institution Greatly Displeases Alumni and Undergraduates — Wilberforce University With All Departments is Simply One Institution.
Wilberforce.—The indignation of Wilberforce university and a large body of alumni and undergraduates at the article under the caption "The New Wilberforce" found in the Crisis for August compels a reply, though we well know that unsigned articles anywhere usually merit only silent contempt unless the editor gives a tangible hold by becoming sponsor for them. says President William S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university.
In such an article we are accustomed to seek at once the motives inspiring it. In this case we are wondering whether it was inspired by a malicious desire to strike the college department in particular, to belittle what it has done and injure its standing and work for higher education, or by a plued spirit which sees an opportunity for retaliation, or by a spirit which thus repays personal favors through questionable eulogiums, or was it real, unadulterated ignorance steeped in egotism? We must leave it for readers and those generally acquainted with the situation to judge.
One thing is true, however. No one is a real friend to the university or to any of its individual departments who
M.
DR. W. S. SCARBOROUGH.
would strive thus publicly to magnify the work of any one department at the expense of another. And for any one to cull deliberately, isolate and twist facts to make it appear that there is but one department at Wilberforce that is worth while and to try to convey that it is not a part of Wilberforce, but a distinct school, is, to speak mildly, an unmitigated attempt to slander the whole institution, no matter what the motive. It becomes an attack that cannot be overlooked.
Wilberforce has done much recently to honor the scholarly editor of the Crisis, and it has always stanchly upheld the cause and the association his magazine represents. Not three months ago it invited him to be one of the speakers during its commencement, and it readily acquiesced in his selection as one of the lecturers in the summer school (for the second time) in the department he eulogizes at $175 for five lectures. Wilberforce university is indeed courteously (?) repaid for this by the grateful editor.
One thing we state at the outset. The "New Wilberforce" has been a verity for some years. It is Wilberforce university—the whole institution, with all its departments and not simply one of them. No part can be greater than the whole. The determination of enemies, internal and external, to try to swallow up, to ignore, to misrepresent the very department that is the genesis of the whole, giving birth to all the others and fostering their growth, the part that stands for higher education—this determination all authorities here are agreed must not only be condemned, but put down.
The department the article in the Crisis seeks to put for the whole and which calls forth such offensive praise was placed here by the state of Ohio in 1887, because it wished to help Wilberforce university, and this was the only way it could do so, and because it was just and right for it to be of service to us as we did not receive a share of the agricultural land grant under the Morrill act, which properly belonged to us, but which share went to Ohio State university. It was never intended to be an independent department, and it is not one now. The authorities, one and all, recognize that Wilberforce university with all its departments is a unit and not a conglomerate—a unit with but one head, and that one the president of the university.
The article in question is full of distortion. Facts are partially stated or omitted or put in wrong relations. The tumbled confusion of statements, of

the work done, of buildings, of cuts, of culled quotations—all seem designedly used to mislead a public ignorant of the true relations that exist here and of the true work and workers. For example, the fact that the financial office of the C. N. and I. department is combined with that of the superintendency is due to no one's personality. It was so fixed by law some time ago, as was the bond to be given, and it has obtained for years. The sum mentioned as given in the last four years by the state includes moneys appropriated before that time for building purposes, but not available until later.
We are proud of our senior cottage, arrangements and appropriations for the building of which were completed some years ago by the state, but one would infer from the writer's article that Emery hall was also a creation of the department he eulogizes. This is not so, however. The funds-over $50,000—were raised by the efforts of the president and friends, and this dormitory for the girls of the college department is the one especially considered by all authorities to be the "most completely equipped dormitory to be found anywhere in any Negro institution." The military wing of our university, a cut of which embellishes the article in the Crisis, is a department that any institution may be proud of, but it is no creation of the department picked out for special laudation, as those unacquainted with the facts might regard it from the connection made. The United States government is pleased to maintain it here still under the best of Negro instructors, paying all expenses, and has recently appointed Lieutenant B. O. Davis of the Ninth United States cavalry for the second time to take charge of it.
A
The paragraph referring to enrollment is garbled so as to present a false idea. Figures certainly have no inherent power to falsify, but they may be made to say anything. Our enrollment for 1913-14 was 493. We do not pad our rolls. But there was no such increase as 10 per cent in any department to the knowledge of the president or the faculty. We have increased our enrollment yearly, we are pleased to say, and this increase has been most largely from without the state (over 300 last year), and the greatest per cent of increase anywhere is found in the college classes.
The state of Ohio helps Wilberforce university by sustaining a department which has been gradually built up since 1887 through long years of labor and earnest work of those in charge. We are gratified at this confidence shown by the state in our entire work. We hope for more help. It is true, however, that the college needs funds. So does every institution for higher education in the land. It is no crime to need money. It is an easy matter, however, to sit down and spend money under direction or without it when one does not raise his hand to get it, but no recipient of such favors should congratulate himself upon unusual ability because of this condition, nor should he use the situation to "crow over" or to hurt any department which has to hustle to gather funds from philanthropy for its work. With such an attitude and similar statements from overzealous friends (?) Wilberforce university is apt to be more hindered than helped in its work. It can well exclaim, "Good Lord, deliver us from such friends."

Manager Newport News Star Resigns.
H. C. Young, who has been serving in the capacity of business manager of the Star at Newport News, Va., for some time, has resigned. In speaking editorially of Mr. Young's leave taking, Editor Matt N. Lewis of the Star says: "With this issue of the Star, Sept. 25, our manager, H. C. Young, severs his relation with this paper and goes back to Norfolk to take up the work which he left when he came to us. We are thoroughly convinced that newspaper men who make a success must be born to the work and the practice, but increase their innate efficiency. All we can do is to hope that we may be able to find the person who shall be able to take the management of the Star office and carry it on as efficiently and successfully as Mr. Young has done during the several months he has had the management."

Little West African Republic Desires Our Co-operation. AIM OF THE ORGANIZATION.
Former American Minister Ernest Lyen, Who Now Represents the Liberian Government in the United States, Says Trade Relations With Africa Would Benefit Our People.
By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON.
Baltimore. — Plans for a big international organization to aid in the development of Liberian trade relations with this country and the resources of the little West African republic are under way. The projected body will be known as the Liberian-American Emigration and Colonization society, and its membership will include prominent people in Liberia, the United States, the West Indies, Central and South America. Headquarters will be maintained in this city.
The contemplated body has the endorsement of prominent Liberians, who express themselves as being very desirous that Americans manifest a deeper interest in their country. The perfection of plans for the proposed organization will largely devolve upon Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian consul general to the United States.
He served seven years as American minister to the little West African republic, and there is probably not a man in America who has a better knowledge of Liberian needs and conditions than he. It was largely through his efforts and also through his initiative that an American commission was sent to Liberia in 1908. The findings of this commission, together with first hand information furnished by Dr. Lyon, awakened the interest and sympathy of the United States government, and as a result Liberia was enabled to borrow $1,700,000 and an American, Reed Palge Clark, was sent to Monrovia to collect sufficient customs to guarantee the interest and sinking fund on the loan. The trade of Liberia is with European nations. Germany enjoying a monopoly. This trade has been de
M.
CONSUL ERNEST LYON.
stroyed since the outbreak of the present European conflict. The loss of this trade, both import and export, has been distressing to the country. The banking interests there are controlled by Europeans, and one of the largest, hitherto controlled by English capital, recently passed into German control.
Liberians are beginning to regard America as their friend, and this interest has been heightened since the recent visit to this country of Hon. John Lewis Morris, secretary of the treasury for the former country. In speaking of the proposed organization Consul General Lyon declared that it would mean the welding together of colored Americans and the people of that country and the beginning of deep foreign interests for the men and women of the race in this country.
"Liberia needs our products," he said, "and especially so since the European war has stifled its sources of imports and crippled its export trade. Liberia exports ivory, palm nuts, rubber, mahogany and other products that would find a ready market in the United States. A big international organization in which men and women of the race are interested could aid materially in bringing about the desired aim.
"Liberia needs some of our strongest and most capable young men and women. It also needs the co-operation and sympathy of Americans. It affords a fine opportunity for colored Americans to take part in developing its trade and resources.
"If colored Americans seize the opportunity as they should there would be no reason why vessels should not be running direct from New York, Baltimore or New Orleans to Liberia. The headquarters will be in Baltimore, where the movement for the establishment of that country began Congress and the legislatures of Maryland and Virginia will be asked to make appropriations."
Dr. Lyon has already received assurances from prominent persons that they would aid in any movement looking to closer financial and trade relations between the two countries.
AFFAIRS AT CORNELL. Authorities Quash Attempt to Draw Color Line.
Itbaca, N. Y.-The line has again taken a serious turn at Cornell university. The object of race discrimination this time is Miss Adeliaide Cook, daughter of Mrs. Catherine C. C. Cook of Washington. Miss Cook is a first year student and evinces an air of confidence, refinement and literary taste. Mrs. Cook preceded her daughter and on her arrival at the university engaged one of the best rooms. No objections were raised at the selection of rooms, but when Miss Cook arrived it seems that the word was passed around that a young woman apparently of the colored race had been enrolled as a first year student.
Mrs. Cook alleges that five white girl students from the south are responsible for the unpleasant situation which confronts her daughter. She took the matter up with President Schurman and has also called the attention of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People to this alleged attempt to draw the color line in an institution which it is supposed knows no color or creed in its educational work. The complaint which Mrs. Cook laid before President Schurman is to the effect that the five white girls demand that Miss Adelaide Cook and another colored girl be denied rooms in Sage hall, a dormitory for girl students.
She also alleges that those in authority at Sage hall suggested that Adelaide Cook and the other colored girl room together, use a separate bath and a reception room downstairs. At a second conference on the matter the authorities refused to sanction any measure which would tend in any way to discriminate against any student on account of race or color.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE OPENS WITH LARGE ENROLLMENT
Forty-seventh Term of Famous Trade School Begins Auspiciously.
Hampton, Va.—Hampton institute begins its forty-seventh term Thursday, Oct. 1. Entering class numbers about 205-121 girls, 174 boys—making an enrollment of nearly 900. There are seventy new Indians, making a total of fifty-five Indians who since the government has withdrawn its appropriation are bravely working their own way as the colored students do. New students entering the work class spend most of their time for a year in caring for the school buildings, doing work on the farm, in the dormitories and helping in the various school offices as orderlies.
They work during the day for twelve months and attend night school for eight months. An unusually large number of students have entered the day classes this year. The trade school, with its thirteen different trades, and the agricultural course attract students from all parts of the country. For the girls Hampton institute offers a four year academic, normal, home economics, library and matron course.
Hampton institute has carried on its work for nearly half a century and has sent forth over 8,000 young men and women equipped to earn honorable livings as teachers, farmers and skilled tradesmen. It has imbued in its students a desire to be of service to their race and by their own homes, their work and their daily life to act as examples and teachers to the less fortunate among whom they live.
It stands today for all that aids in training members of undeveloped races to become earnest, industrious, Christian citizens. It teaches them the dignity of labor, the happiness of service and the value of moral and physical cleanliness. It is lending its support to every effort to increase the earning capacity of the Negro and Indian races.
Mr. Hugh Alger of West Chester, Pa., who has recently been acting as state supervisor in the district of Norwalk, Conn., will fill the position of supervisor of the academic department, made vacant by the resignation of Miss Harriet S. Hayward. Among the new teachers in the academic department are Miss Ruth E. Goodwin, Mrs. John G. Brady, Miss Dorothy L. Jones and Mr. Fred E. Fossitt. Mr. Oliver K. Snyder of Florin, Pa., is the new instructor of drafting.
Miss Beatrice A. Leete will take charge of the domestic science department. Miss Ellen Cope of West Chester, Pa., is the girls' physical director, and Miss Mary D. Stone has accepted the position of secretary to the vice principal, Miss Grace L. Morrison and Miss Williametta O. Nash, who have had a year's leave of absence, have returned to their duties in the academic department.
S. B. Turner Nominated For Assembly. At the recent primary election held in Chicago S. B. Turner was nominated by the Republicans for the general assembly. Turner received 1,532 votes, defeating his opponent. A. H. Robinson, by 227. Mr. Turner is editor of the illinois idea, an eight page neway and reliable weekly. The members of the National Negro Press association congratulate Editor Turner upon his nomination and hope for his election.

LILLIAN HAWKINS-JONES DELIGHTS GREAT AUDIENCE AT MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.
An audience which taxed the capacity of the auditorium of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, greeted the world's greatest Negro contrato, Lillian Hawkins-Jones, last Thursday evening on her first appearance in Los Angeles. Mme. Hawkins-Jones captivated her audience with her wonderful voice and winning personality. She was supported by an all-star aggregation of local talent.
This most successful recital, drawing one of the largest musical audiences of city record was a compliment to the Zion Baptist Choir as one of the prominent musical organizations, to Rev. J. . Hill as a pastor and Impresario. He has rendered the Pacific Coast a service by introducing Madame Hawkins-Jones to this section. And as for this great contralto herself, her reputation is assured as a soloist of charm. Many audiences should yet have the delight of her beautiful voice.
The foregoing clipping came from the New Age of Los Angeles, Calif. It appears from the comment that Mrs. Jones is doing fine.

APPLY SLOAN'S FREELY FOR LUMBAGO.
Your attacks of Lumbago are not nearly so hopeless as they seem. You can relieve them almost instantly by a simple application of Sloan's Liniment on the back and loins. Lumbago is a form of rheumatism, and yields perfectly to Sloan's, which penetrates quickly all in through the sore, tender muscles, limbs up the back and makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any drugist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and like alliments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief.
