Rev. Quincy Ewing, a Southern Caucasion, Born and Reared in Mississippi, Shows the Policy of the South is to Keep the Afro-American in Inferior Status.
Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness a dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a first-class seat? In every large city, there are hundreds of Negroes, who gladly pay for first-class seats at the theater and the ball game, were they permitted.to. It can hardly be that permission is withheld because theaters and baseball games are so well attended by half the population that first-class seats could not be furnished for the other half. As a matter of fact, theater-auditorium and baseball grandstands are seldom crowded; the rule is, not all first-class seats occupied, but many vacant. Surely as simple as moving from seat to seat a makeshift screen in a street car, would it be to set apart a certain number of seats in the dress-circle of every theater and in the grandstand of every baseball park, for Negro patrons. The reason why this is not done, is perfectly obvious; it would be intolerable to the average Southern man or woman to sit through the hours of a theatrical performance or a baseball game on terms of accommodation with Negroes even with a screen between. Negroes would look out of place, out of status, in the dress circle or the grandstand; their place, signifying their status, is the peanut-gallery, or the bleachers.
Consider further that, while no Negro, no matter what his occupation, or personal refinement, or intellectual culture or moral character, is allowed to travel in a Pullman car between state lines, or to enter as a guest a hotel patronized by white people, the blackest of Negro nurses and valets are given food and shelter in all first-class hotels. and occasion neither disgust or surprise in the Pullman cars. Here again the heart of the race problem is laid bare. The black nurse with a white baby in her arms, the black valet looking after the comfort of a white invalid, have the label of their inferiority conspicuously upon them; they understand themselves, and everybody understands them to be servants, enjoying certain privileges for the sake of the person served. Almost anything the Negro may do in the South, and anywhere he may go, provided the manner of his doing and his going is that of an inferior. Such is the premium put upon his inferiority; such his inducement to maintain it.
A training school for delinquent colored youth has been established in Harris County, Texas.
By Rev. Quiney Ewing
But we are very far from needing to rely upon any general consideration in support of the proposition advanced above. It is supported by evidences on every hand, waiting only the eye of recognition. Scarcely a day passes but something is said or done with this end in view, to emphasize, lest they forget, the conviction for both white man and Negro that the latter is and must remain an inferior. Let me instance a few such evidences.
Consider, first, the "Jim Crow" legislation in the manner of its enforcement. Such legislation is supposed to have for its object the separation of the races in trains, street cars, etc., to save the white people from occasional contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmelling Negroes, and to prevent personal encounters between the whites and blacks. Members of the different races occupy the same cars, separated only by absurdly inadequate little open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and light that a conductor can move them from one seat to another with the strength of his little finger. Needless to add, these screens would serve to obscure neither sound, signt, nor smell of drunken rowdies, who sat behind them! In summer cars, black and white passengers may be separated not even by a make-believe screen; they are simply required, respectively, to occupy certain seats in the front or the back end of the cars.
In Birmingham, Alabama, the front seats are assigned to Negroes in all closed cars, and the back seats in all open ones. Why the front seats in the one case, and the back seats in the other, it is not easy to understand in the light of the letter and alleged spirit of the Jim Crow law! The underlying purpose of the law is clearly not the separation of the races in space; for public sentiment does not insist upon its fulfilment to that end. The underlying purpose of it would seem to be the separation of the races in status. The doctrine of inequality would be attacked if white and black passengers rode in public conveyances on equal terms; therefore the Negro who rides in a public conveyance must do so, not as of undoubted right, but as with the white man's regulation. "This place you may occupy, that other you may not, because I am I and you are you, lest to you or to me it should be obscured that I am I and you are you." Such is the real spirit of the Jim Crow laws.
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 17, 1914
Carlson, The Man OF The Hour.
"With All Our Might For Every Right, With Right To Live Is Right To Work."
Republican Party Negroes Greatest Hope.
GEORGE A. CARLSON, Republican Candidate for Governor, believes in good roads, and in his opening
speech of the present campaign he went on record as strongly favoring constructive work in the up-building of the State, chief of which was the construction, maintenance and improvement of the highways. This emphatic endorsement of the good roads work in Colorado meets with hearty response from citizens all over the state regardless of party. The Republican State Platform endorses good roads, and Mr. Carlson's statement not only reiterates what has been said by the Republicans, but brings the work before the public in a manner in which no other candidate has presented the subj His declaration in favor of good roads, as quoted from his Denver speech, follows:
"From now on, Colorado must live in the future and not in the past. This is a time for a builder and not for the destructionist. Colorado must begin to cash in on her possibilities. To do good roads are necessary. The farmer must be brought closer to his market; the miner, closer to his mill. There is a growing national feeling in favor of seeing America first. Because of the war abroad, this movement has been given added impetus. Citizens who formerly sought recreation abroad and who have planned trips to foreign shores are now visiting the beauty spots of our own country. If Colorado will prepare herself to accommodate this influx of visitors, a large part of the millions, now spent at the show places of Europe, will be spent in Colorado, the show state of America. Why shouldn't this be true? Here, dozens of mountains that proudly and majestically raise their peaks to heaven, are the equal in magnificence of the Jungfrau and the Matterhorn. Our skies are the bluest in the world. Our sunsets are as rich and sublime as those of the Bay of Naples. Our air is pure, our sunshine is bright. Mountain streams, tumbling and rushing down to meet the placid rivers of the plains, teem with jumping fish and direct the footsteps of every sportsman towards Colorado. Here are canyons so deep the sun has never penetrated to their bottoms. The magic of sun and air and the pines of our hills give health to the invalid. Our plains are tertile. The earth's crust is a veritable treasure house. Build a network of the finest roads in the world into every corner of the State. Show our unequaled resources to the traveling public and the visitor will become a resident, build a home and invest money here."
What Patterson thought of Thomas in 1900. "Forgetful of everything he has advocated, blinded by ambition for a seat in the United States Senate he threw himself into the service of the great corporations."
What Thomas thought of Patterson in 1900: "Your enmity to corporation designs is a pursuit that seems to be profitable. It falls upon all them that do not seek the shelter of your clientage. Is it not possible, Mr. Patterson, that in your eagerness for my undoing you measure me unconsciously with your own personal standards."
Will Patterson tell the people of Colorado the difference between Julius Aichele, "The Grafter," as he styled him years ago and Julius Aichele, Patterson's candidate for the state senate?
Is Tom Hyder a better man to represent the people of Denver in the house of representatives now than he was as a Speer henchman when Patterson called him every objectionable name when Speer was Mayor of Denver?
Why is a candidate for political honor as Patterson now sleeping in the same bed with whom he as a private citizen has often charged with being fit subjects for the penitentiary?
Incidentally, will Patterson kindly state why as a member of the United States Senate he voted to give the waters

Nashville, Tenn.—This city will witness the gathering of what is probably the most important gathering a moong colored churchmen ever held in this country. It has been called by a number of leading members of the M. E. church, and there will most likely be considered some plans for the colored membership of the church assuming what may be called an autonomous relation with the white element of the denomination. The meeting is to take place on or about Oct. 22.
Wet or Dry, will enforce their will, says Carlson.

"One question a great many of you are seriously considering is the dry amendment. I don't want a single voter to have a shadow of doubt in his mind of my official couse, and private views on this question. I shall vote for a dry Colorado.

Urge Colored Men to Regis-
Baltimore, Md.—Sharp criticism of Republicans who are elected to office in Maryland and then fail to give recognition to the colored men who iaded them in making their goal, was voiced by several speakers who attended a meeting at Republican headquarters last week to discuss plans for getting the full colored vote registered.
Some of the Republican leaders were alarmed at the fact that only 5,000 colored voters registered at the first sitting two weeks ago. This number was considerably augmented by the registration this Tuesday and Wednesday, however
Dr. Ernest Lyons adverted to the fact that Governor Goldsborough, a Republican, had given the race practically no political recognition and added that the reason the Progressives polled the majority of the colored vote in Baltimore in the presidential election in 1912 was because Republican leaders in Maryland usually forgot all about voters after election. The Rev. W. M. Alexander and others spoke in a similar vein, but pledged themselves to get upwards of 20,000 colored voters on the registration books in this city.
GOV. GEO. A. CARLSON will enforce the laws as they are. The liquor interests will be fully protected in the rights that the law gives them Democratic leaders in this campaign are advocating local option' Seven years ago, when a Republican legislature was passing the present local option bill, it met with the solid opposition of the same Democratic leaders. Their present candidate for Governor fought the local option bill in the columns of his paper.

Patterson! Inconsistency One and Inseparable
The insurrections in Colorado have cost the State $3,000,000. Patterson has supported every insurrection occurring in the state. The annual interest now paid on those insurrection bonds would construct all of the buildings built annually at every institution in the state.
The Republican Party presents state sovereignty as the only state issue and protection as the only national issue of the campaign.
The Shaffroth Democratic administration ran behind its income $316,424,36 each year. Every Republican administration has paid all of its current expenses and left money in the treasury.
Under Democratic administration Colorado is under the control of borrowed troops. we are in the hands of a Federal Receiver.
Elect the Republican ticket, send back the Federal soldiers, show our ability to maintain state sovereignty and prosperity will return to our doors.

On last Friday evening the pastor and his wife were very pleasantly surprised by the members of Stewardess Board. After singing "Jesus Savior of My Soul," they burst in upon the pastor with arms laden with meats, groceries, vegetables and preserves.
A lovely evening was spent and many expressions were made by the members of the Stewardess Board as to the esteem and high regard in which they held their pastor and wife. Before Rev. and Mrs. Washington could recover from the festivities of Friday evening, at nine o'clock Monday evening in the far distant was heard the strains of "There's a Stranger at the Door." As the strains grew stronger and stronger there was a rap at the door and a host of members and friends of Campbell rushed in upon the pastor and his wife. After making their way to the dining room and relieving themselves of their burdens, very appropriate speeches of presentation were made by Mesdames G. A. J. Spires and Maud Lee, to which the pastor made a brief, pointed and touching response. A very delightful luncheon was served after which the guests departed, having spent one pleasant evening of mirth and song, leaving the pastor and family to look through the large assortment and abundant supply of groceries, fruits, vegetables and preserves.
Both services Sunday were well attended. The juvenile choir of the Missionary Society assisted, rendering the music in the morning. In the evening the senior choir was at its best.

DR. WALDRON'S PEACE TALK.
Washington Pastor Lauds President Wilson's Proclamation in Sermon. Washington. -The Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron in his "peace sermon" at Shiloh Baptist church in this city on Sunday, Oct. 4. In part said: "President Wilson is a good Bible student as well as a good politician. His proclamation calling upon the American nation to pray for the cessation of the European war proves that he has studied patiently and faithfully the holy Scriptures as well as the history of mankind or he would not have seen the necessity of coupling contrition and confession of sins by this nation with its petitions for mercy upon other nations. The president's call to prayer is not only a great state paper; it is a wonderful treatise on prayer and is worthy of a permanent place in the religious literature of the country."
Dr. Waldron used as his text the following passages of Scripture: "Pray one for another" (James v. 16), "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you" (John xiv. 27), "Acquaint now thyself with God and be at peace, thereby good shall come to thee" (Job v. 16). He said: "This is the first time in the history of America and no doubt the first time in the history of the world that the head of a great nation has called upon that entire people to pray that war may cease among other and distant nations with whom it was not in conflict. Surely a new day and a new hope are dawning for our own country and the other nations of the earth. The doctrine of brotherhood of all men is beginning to assert itself, and nations as well as individuals are realizing that they are their brothers' keepers."
The speaker said: "The kaiser has been urging the people to 'pray God to give victory to our side.' Abraham Lincoln during the civil war urged the people of his country to pray God that we may be sure to be on his side." This latter prayer is the one which we and the belligerent nations need to pray now, and it is the only petition which is sure of an answer. "Calamities drive individuals and nations to the heart of God." It is said that there are three times as many people attending church now as there were before the European war started. While the conflict across the waters is awful and must be deprecated by every one yet it is not an unmixed evil. It is teaching men that only God can give an abiding peace.
"The terrible war raging in Europe is bringing to the minds of men, as nothing else can, the awful consequences of national sins. Each one of the European nations now at war has been guilty of great crimes against God and humanity, and they are atoning for these sins in the blood of the best of their sons. God makes the wrath of men to praise him and the remainder he restrains. We do well to pray for our brethren across the ocean, and as we pray let us confess our own sins and the sins of our nation and turn from them and make amends for the numberless crimes this country has committed upon the weak of our own land, or God will soon begin to make an inquisition for blood in this country."

Success of Rev. Thomas H. White as Minister
NOT AFRAID OF HARD WORK
Interesting Account of the Early Struggles and Subsequent Rise of Zealous Young Baptist Leader Who Is Winning His Laurels at First Church in Clifton Forge, Va.
Clifton Forge, Va.—Virginia is giving to the race and country a number of able young men who are making good and who are contributing much to the uplift of the race along all lines. These men are coming fresh from the schools and colleges of the state, well trained and prepared to take hold of any line of business, trade or profession. Among the active men today is to be found the Rev. Thomas H. White, B. D., corresponding secretary of the Baptist state convention and pastor of the Baptist church in Clifton Forge.
He was born in King and Queen county, Va., in October, 1869, and was reared in Richmond, where he spent his boyhood days. His church membership dates back to 1857, when he was received into the First Baptist church, Richmond, Va., by baptism. He became a trained Sunday school teacher, graduating under Professor J. Hugo Johnston and the late Dr. D. Webster Davis. His Sunday school class graduated in 1888 and was declared by Dr. Griffith of the American Baptist Publication society to be the first class to graduate from a regular Sunday school course in Richmond. He believed in the young men going to the front; hence he was one of the founders of the Y. M. C. A. in Richmond, Va.
He was determined to get an education and declared that the world should know that he was in it, and to that
A. B.
THOMAS H. WHITE, B. D.
end he worked zealously as a student.
He served as assistant pastor to the late Rev. James H. Holmes at the First Baptist church in Richmond. It was while serving in this position that he entered the Virginia Theological seminary and college at Lynchburg, Va. which was then known as the Virginia seminary. He made good as a student, finished his course, and after a short time his alma mater called him back to teach higher mathematics. While connected with the school he also taught church polity and pastored the Mount Carmel Baptist church.
While thus employed Dr. White took unto himself a bride, Miss Martha A. Harper of Richmond, and soon afterward accepted a call from the Baptist church in Harrisonburg, Va., where he remained a little over a year. His reputation as a preacher and pastor became widely known, and he resigned from the Harrisonburg church to accept the call of the First Baptist church at Clifton Forge in 1902, of which he has since been the pastor, rendering good service to his church, to his race and the community at large. In this church are to be found some of the wealthiest people of our race in the state. Rev. Dr. White is an able temperance lecturer.
Dr. White is a public spirited man as well as a recognized leader of his people. He has made a number of public addresses before large audiences and every time he has won laurels for himself and his people. The Salem (Va.) Times in speaking of an address which he delivered in that town had the following to say:
"The orator of the day, Rev. Thomas H. White, is quite a young man, but the flow of eloquence, fine rhetoric and wonderful comparisons contained in his speech put him alongside of Langston, Douglass and Price. He gained the attention of his audience from the start, and for two hours, without manuscript, he held his hearers, while at times the applause was deafening. At times his words were cutting, but the end was consoling. This wonderful boy orator closed with 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee.'"
Dr. White is a busy preacher, and when he is not looking after his flock he is working in his garden. He supplies many of the stores with lettuce, potatoes and other vegetables. He is the finest lettuce grower around Clifton Forge. He has made lettuce growing a special study and supplies the community with products raised on his Little garden farm.
ENERGETIC BUSINESS MAN.
Value of a Fixed Aim Exemplified In Success of W. L. Toud.
Boston, Mass.—In almost every walk of life there are members of the race engaged in some line of gainful occupation. There are young men all about us who are making good that the world scarcely knows anything about, but they are going on just the same doing their work well and their examples are worthy of emulation. In this number is to be found William L. Todd of this city.
Mr. Todd was born in Windsor, N. C., where he got his early school training, and took on his finishing touch at the St. Paul school, Lawrenceville, Va., which is one of the leading schools of its class in the country. For a long time it was thought that Mr. Todd would enter the ministry, but his lot was thrown in another direction, and he soon found his place.
Like men who want to succeed, he found it necessary to further prepare himself for his chosen work, so he entered the James Coyne State Steam Engineering school. He was an exceptional student and received much encouragement from the members of the faculty. It was a case where merit alone won. After finishing at the school he soon found work as a stationary

WILLIAM L. TODD. engineer and was so authorized under the laws of Massachusetts and the ordinance of the city of Boston. Mr. Todd is one of the busiest men in Boston, and he is making his way up. He has many friends among all the people, and his success has been through industry, honesty, reliability and thrift. His word has had much to do with his steady progress. It is said that in Boston, when he says a thing, the people all believe him, because he has been careful in his calculations.
Not only is he up on engineering, but he knows the automobile to the extent that he can all but make one. He is prepared to build one from the bottom up. When it comes to repairing an automobile he is considered among the experts, Mr. Todd married Miss Marie Matthews of British Guiana, a talented young woman, a few years ago. They are now working together for the moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of the young people of the race in this city.
EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE.
Independent Political Organization
Battles For Square Deal.
The Independent Equal Rights
League of Colored Men is sending the
following letter to candidates for congress
in the various sections of the country:
At the seventh annual meeting of
the National Independent Equal Rights
league, held in New York recently, in
the address to the country this paragraph
and the questions below appeared:
"We advise colored voters to look
into the record of every congressman
up for re-election, to make an issue of
the color segregation practiced by certain
cabinet officers and encouraged in
bills already introduced into congress.
Find out where each candidate stands
on these anti-Negro bills and the anti-
intermarriage bill and act accordingly."
In pursuance of the foregoing the league hereby publicly asks what the attitude of congressional candidates will be, if elected, on the matters above referred to.
Will you, if elected, seek to prevail upon the secretary of the treasury and the postmaster general to abolish such segregation of colored government employees as has been instituted under them as to rest room, eating, working and toilet facilities?
Will you use your influence, voice and vote against bills to segregate colored clerks and to establish jimcrow cars in the District of Columbia?
Will you use your influence, voice and vote against bills making it a crime for colored and noncolored persons to marry in the District of Columbia?
Will you favor the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, now notoriously nullified in certain states?
An early answer will be appreciated. To each of these questions the league requests an answer.

“A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles on which our government was founded. I have always been found laboring to protect the weaker classes from the stronger, and I never can give my consent to such a law as you propose to enact.
“Until my tongue shall be silenced in death I will continue to fight for the rights of man.”
The immortal Lineoln was an earnest and a consistent advocate of temperance. He followed the Apostle Paul's advice:
“Be ve temperate in all things.”
In his early days Lincoln delivered temperance lectures, not after the manner of the intemperate present day advocate, which type, even in Lincoln's day, must have existed, judging from the severe rebuke that he administered.
Abraham Lincoln, the great statesman, deplored the intolerance of prohibitionists, and realized that their doctrine contemplated the overthrow of a fundamental principle of American government.

Per Cent of Crime Caused By Drink
Father William O'Ryan got three answers the other day when he rose to inquire what per cent of crime and poverty is caused by strong drink. He heard from the Colorado State Prison Association, from the Denver Associated Charities and from the Jewish Relief Society. It happened near the close of the semi-annual conference of the state board of charities and corrections, held in the senate chamber at the capitol. W. E. Collett, secretary of the Prison Association, could not give accurate figures because they are not obtainable, but he intimated that the percentage was low. Then Dr. W. S. Friedman, who presided, said that he had learned from the Associated Charities that one and three-tenths per cent is the ratio of alcoholic causes of the poverty that that association deals with. And he added that in the Jewish Relief Society the rate is less than one one-hundredth of one per cent. These statistics throw real light on a topic which has often been the subject of impassioned guesses by well-meaning people.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—In a memorial sent to the house ways and means committee, John Boyle, a Washington newspaper correspondent, recommends that all Prohibitionists be taxed $5 a head to raise the additional revenue needed by the Government because of decreased imports during the European war.
Boyle says that the internal revenue tax on beer and liquor already is high, and the drinkers pay about $7 a year per capita, while the Prohibitionists pay nothing.
"Tax the Prohibitionists $5 a head," said Boyle, "and you will raise $150,000,000 in revenue, as the Prohibitionists say they number about one-third of our population."

DENVER STAR RECEIVES LET
TER SFROM VOTERS.
Mr. C. S. Muse, Editor Denver Star.
Dear Sir: Let me first thank you for your very able and timely editorial of Oct. 3rd inst. in answer to the stand that the "Sunday Alliance" has taken concerning the candidacy of Senator Patterson for governor. Now I wish to be plain in the matter and have no fight to make upon the "Sunday Alliance" and have at all times entertained great respect for that organization, as the Alliance in times past has done some great and noble things and today I believe the organization is in position to do much good in the future. Yet I cannot convince myself why the Alliance should be overshadowed by a "Patterson influence" only, as many other men have done noble and great things for us, politically and otherwise. I have never heard of any political appointments for Negroes secured by the learned Senator while there, nor anything save his manly defense of truly democratic principles. Now many other men believe with me that we should not be classed as "ingrates" or enemies to the race, because we don't think like the dominating influence of the Sunday Alliance. I have often wondered if the Sunday Alliance that endorsed Patterson is composed now of that kind of stuff it consisted of when Rev. Jno. Ford was pastor of Zion. Senator Patterson when a member of the U. S. Senate demonstrated to the world that he was not enemy; not only while editor and owner of the News and Times, but at all times, he stood out ready to defend us when defense was necessary. But because Senator Patterson has shown his friendship for us, as you so ably stated, is no reason why we should blindly vote for him NOW, when by so doing we have no assurance that it will benefit us in the future. The union organizations, to which the Senator has pledged his support at all times and under all circumstances, has stubbornly fought the Negro, attempting to prevent him from properly providing for his family. Hence I must say that it is to the best interest of the Negro to vote for and support the nominee of the party that stands for fair play and an equal chance to work and live. And for that reason I heartily agree and concur with the Star in the support of the Republican party from top to bottom.
Respectfully,
W. H. DUNCAN.
URGE YOU TO VOTE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 7, 1914.
My dear George:
Enclosed herewith I hand you
check for $1.50 for my year's sub-
scription, and trust you will pardon
delay in my sending it to you.
I note, by your last two issues, that you are having considerable factional fighting among my people over the recognition of the different clubs. For mercy sake, plead with them to all unite and stand for the Republican party at this particular time in the state of Colorado, for if they look around over the state and the city of Denver and see the depressed conditions that now exist, under the present administration and union labor, they can readily see the necessity of overthrowing the party responsible for this sad condition. With me, like Phillip B. Steward of Colorado Springs and Jno. F. Vivian of Golden, I feel assured that if they are given the proper support from former Republicans of my people, that there will be fair divisions and favorable consideration given my people, should the party win. I agree with you that this is not the time for personal grievances to take the place of party affiliations.
Trusting that you and the more conservative men of my race may be able to keep them in line by careful persuasion, and from time to time in your valuable paper pointing out to them the mistake they would make if they proved trators at this time to the party. I am, as ever,

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 rebuke 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-Vardamanianic 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 spoiling 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.

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 nontitle 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 mon-
Don't deceive, because there are honest 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 pies; doing washing, some down shopping; yet drew their day's pay.

OKLAHOMA PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
Citizens of Okmulgee Praise Thrift of Afro-Americans.
DR. LAMBERT CHIEF SPEAKER
In Optimistic Address Well Known White Man Says Race Occupies Unique Place In Country's History. Presaches Doctrine of Character as True Measure of Manhood.
By WILLIAM H. DAVIS.
Okmulggee, Okla.—The high esteem in which Dr. Booker T. Washington is held by the people of both races in Okmulggee and vicinity was never more generously shown than it was on his recent visit to this town. At the meeting held on this occasion Dr. Washington was made welcome in a most timely address delivered by Dr. O. A. Lambert, who in part said:
I come today as a representative of the Anglo-Saxon race to bid your people a godspeed in every undertaking that will lift them to a better, a higher, a nobler, condition of life. Whether we will it or not, you are a part of our national existence, and in the years gone by the hand of fate you have been given the power to future years can only reveal its fullest meaning. As a people your place in history is unique. Torn from a dark continent of ignorance and superstition by the ruthless hand of greed, enslaved for 400 years by a superior race, redeemed from that bondage by treasures of money and sacrifice of the best blood of a nation and suddenly given all the rights and priviledge that nation will hold a place in history unparalleled and as a race stand alone.
Believing in the doctrine that character is the true measure of a man, that merit is the determining factor in the scale of life and that true worth may be found under a black skin as well as the white skin, is a virtue that is not nopoly on all the good or all the bad, but that the virtues and the vices flourish alike in all the races under the same conditions of life and environment—with these truths uppermost in our hearts today we can speak the message of cheer and hope to the Afro-American race. Fifty years ago 600 of your people were wearing the galloping chains of slavery, without property.
But today you present yourselves with more than 9,000,000 of people, paying taxes on $700,000,000 worth of property, sustaining more than sixty Afro-American banks, having your own schools, churches and colleges, with representatives of your race permeating all branches ofIndustry and the telecommunications industry activity of the nation. In the south alone there are over 30,000 Afro-American schoolteachers, where half a century ago it was a crime to teach a Negro to read and write. There are today more than 1,100 instructors in 169 academies, schools and colleges who are graduates of colleges; more than 40,000 Sunday school teachers, 5,000 men in the ministry, who are graduates from theological schools. There are 1,200 lawyers, 1,390 doctors and scores of editors of magazines and newspapers. There are 1,000 men beighted and superstitious mind of the race into the sunlight of knowledge and truth.
To the question "Is the Negro capable of intellectual attainment?" you have given the affirmative by such Afro-American colleges as Wilberforce, Allen, Livingston and Tuskegee, schools with such intellectual minds as Bishop Payne, Mitchel, Price and Booker T. Washington.
To those who think that the Negro lacks enterprise and business accumen you can point with pride to J. H. Lewis, the second largest merchant tailor in the state of Massachusetts and fourth in the United States, or jo M. O. Atwood of East Sagamore, Mich., one of the largest lumber dealers of the northwest business of Alabama shave or, if Hall, the largest lumber produce merchant on Mall Street, Philadelphia. But why take time to specify by name? For they are legion who have entered the industrial and commercial field and have shown great ability and thrift in the management of business enterprise.
To those who thought the Negro lacking in ingenuity and mechanical skill you can tell, then, of McCoy, who invented the lubricator now in use on nearly all railroad engines, or Lewis H. Latther, the expert electrician of the New York Electric Light company, who persuaded superintendent the great estates of light in England, or W. A. Hezel, the noted designer and decorator. Some of the finest art glass in our churches today are his designs. To those who think you are devoid of culture and love of the esthetic, point them to W. E. Bannister, whose painting "Under the Oaks" won the medal at the Philadelphia exposition in 1875, or Professor Henry O. Tanner, who recently sold to the Lovingborg gallery gallery of the Lovingborg Museum of Lazarus" the second American artist to sell his work to that institution.
To those who charge that the Negro lacks physical courage and fortitude let the annals of history answer how at Fort Pillow and Cold Harbor in the war to save the Union the black troops stood the merciless the of the enemy in such a manner as to call forth the admiration of the whole country, or, in the Spanish-American war, with the well disciplined and fortified Spanish troops pouring a deadly fire from the hill into the faces of the black troops, with a song on their lips, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty," went charging up the hill and saved to the rough riders the victory of San Juan Hill.
You, sir, have already proved to the world that you have the essential elements, though crude some may be, to become a self supporting, self governing race of people. Give you 400 years of American freedom, American opportunity and possibility and such will be your achievement that if it were possible for Lincoln your great deliverer, to downplay your own skills, he would suspect you were the descendants from those from whose limbs he unloacked the shackles. Napoleon once said, "I and time can accomplish all things." This was not true, but we have the faith that with patience and sober judgment in God's own good time the race problem will be satisfactorily settled, not by violence, not by transportation or segregation, not by social equality or distinction or race mixture, but along the lines of attainments by the individual growth of character into true womanhood and manhood. By this proof to the white race that you have character, integrity, wealth and brains prejudices will pass away like the mists before a second sun.

CAUTION! FOR PUBLIC WELFARE
Complaint has come to the "Star" office repeatedly by many Colored people who buy pianos, as to how they have been grossly imposed upon by a certain company in this city who sell pianos. The Star will not at this time go into details of the many transactions of which it has been in formed, when an undue advantage has been taken of Colored people after bargaining for a piano from a certain piano company in this city. But it is enough to say that one piano company in particular is regarded as unsafe and unfair to deal with. Before buying, be careful of the company from whom you buy. Just inquire among your friends a little.

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 the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

RACE PROGRESS IN NEW JERSEY
CHANGES FOR ADVANCEMENT
Recent Campaign Through Rich Northern Commonwealth Reveals Constructive Work of Its Colored Citizens — How Messrs. Vandervall and Burrell Organized the People.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
New York.—The recent four days' tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington through New Jersey has been the means of calling public attention to many historical facts concerning the activities of the colored citizens of the state in the past and of showing what those of the present are doing. It has also centered attention on the great possibilities open to the race to become large landowners, thrifty farmers and leaders in education, business and civic movements.
The group of small but thrifty communities in the southwestern part of
PETER H. BURKE
W. P. BURRELL.
Essex county, known as the Oranges, has a population of 100,000, of whom 10,000 are colored. These communities are rich in their association of early colonial and antebellum history. The Negro was not an inactive or silent spectator during those stirring times.
He participated in every struggle and bravely bore his part in the long contest for liberty of the American colonist. The battles of Springfield and Orange mountain colony and other Revolutionary struggles have indelibly recorded his bravery and valor. During the civil war New Jersey sent more than a regiment of brave black boys and several battalions in the late Spanish-American war. These undeniable facts prove the loyalty, devotion and patriotism of the Negroes of New Jersey in every crisis concerning the safety of the American flag.
In the civic affairs of the state he has played well his part. Contesting against every unfair advantage and race proscription, he has maintained himself and gathered the small crumbs of opportunity together and still continues to rise and retain a place among the struggling and progressive masses. In the Oranges he has accumulated nearly $500,000 in real estate, now which he inherited or received in quest, but has acquired by sacrifice and labor. Negroes own many large and beautiful church buildings, an Old Folks' home and several fraternal and business buildings. In the charitable work they have contributed very largely in proportion to their means.
Shortly after the war an old colored woman gave her earnings of many years to the work of the temperance cause, and the imposing structure at Main and Commerce streets, Orange, valued at more than $50,000, stands on the site bought by the savings of this old pioneer woman, who bequeathed her estate for that work. There remains much yet to be done in this fair commonwealth that these people may have a fair chance in the battle of life. Those that have located in the agricultural districts have done well. Many own large, productive farms and each year, by their push and industry, add to their possessions.
The men who organized themselves into a state committee for the purpose of making the trip of Dr. Washington and his party a tremendous success were imbued with race pride. They were eager for their guests to see the achievements of the race in the state and for the people of the state to see and hear Dr. Washington, who was introduced at one of the meetings by a wealthy and influential white man as one of the truly great men of America. The leading spirit in organizing the various cities and towns for the trip was W. P. Burrell, head of the social settlement work for colored children in East Orange. Mr. Burrell was the executive secretary of the state committee, and upon him devolved the task of arranging for dates and places for all the meetings. In this he was ably assisted by Mr. James N. Vandervall, chairman of the
tour committee, together with the local committees in the various towns. There was work enough to have kept several stenographers busy for many weeks, yet this progressive man of great energy and mental strength did practically the whole job. In speaking of how the state organization was perfected Mr. Burrell very wittily says: "There was a convention held, and only two persons were present. I made Mr. Vandervall chairman, and Mr. Vandervall nominated me for secretary, and the meeting adjourned." Mr. Burrell is a born organizer and knows how to handle large crowds He was the soul of wit throughout the tour and made a good impression upon everybody.
He is doing a splendid work in East Orange in the conduct of the social settlement work. He has had many years' experience in handling the records of large business and fraternal concerns and is thoroughly competent as an investigator of conditions among our people in the work to which he and Mrs. Burrell are giving their best energy, brain and skill. Mr. Burrell by a master hand linked the eleven cities and towns visited by Dr. Washington and his party into a chain of perfect correspondence, so that the schedule from the start was kept in the minute detail.
The local committee in each town was on hand to receive the visitors, entertain them and then deliver them to their associates in the next place to be visited. In many instances the conveyances used were owned by the members of the committee representing the colored people, and, on the other hand, the white people furnished their autos and other rigs for the use of Dr. Washington and his guests. Credit is due every man who co-operated in the work, but everybody agrees that the lion's share belongs to Messrs. Vandervall and Burrell, chairman and secretary respectively.
CAPABLE YOUNG MUSICIAN.
Miss Georgiana H. Sherman Makes Good on Concert Tour West.
Philadelphia, Pa.—There are many young women in this city who are making good and at the same time inspiring others to go forward along all lines of useful endeavor and in this way are helping to work out some of the many hard problems which confront our people. In this number is to be found Miss Georgiana H. Sherman, who is considered a musical wonder.
Miss Sherman, though young in years, has had quite a wide experience. By her ability and singleness of purpose she has advanced to the front. She was born in Williamsport, Pa., and received her early training in the public schools of her native town. After finishing the common school course she attended the Dickinson seminary, where she took a thorough course in music.
In 1900 her parents moved to this city, and Miss Sherman entered the Royal Conservatory of Music, where she took a course in artistic piano playing. She made good use of her time while studying music, being one of the collectors for the National Benefit association of Washington. As in music, she was a success as a collector. Miss Sherman has accompanied some of the leading singers in this section of the country. In the fall of 1913 she accepted a position with the Southland sextet, America's premier jubilee company. With this company she toured Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, making great hits for herself and company.
While on the tour Miss Sherman received many press comments, as well as popular applause. She is a lover of sacred music, in which she specializes. She possesses a rich mezzo soprano voice and aspires to become an oratorio singer. She is a member of the Union Baptist church here.
Since her return from the west she has been active in church work. She is the director of the choir of the Zion Baptist church, Ardmore, Pa., which is one of the leading musical organizations of a religious character in the state.

In the various trades, 6.5 per cent; in manufacturing and mechanical work, 7 per cent; domestic service, 30 per cent, and in agricultural pursuits, 53 per cent.
Members of the race in the north who are similarly engaged show the following percentage: In the professions, 3 per cent; in agriculture, 5 per cent; in the trades, 14 per cent; business and transportation, 17 per cent, and in domestic service, 60 per cent, against 30 per cent of those engaged in the same occupation in the southern states.
Autumn Exposition Held in New York.
An autumn exposition, showing the progress of the colored people in Greater New York, was held at the Manhattan Casino in New York city from Sept. 28 to Oct 3, inclusive. The exhibits were numerous and gave evidence of much skill and fine workmanship on the part of the exhibitors. The affair was promoted by Messrs. Alex Rogers, Fred R. Moore, Lester A. Walton, Romeo L. Dougherty, Jesse A. Shipp, Edward Warren and Leigh R. Whipper. After paying the expenses of the exposition the balance of the proceeds will be divided among charitable institutions conducted by our people in Greater New York and vicinity.

EDITOR HARRISON'S PLUCK.
Issued His Paper Daily During Recent Odd Fellows' Convention.
The National Negro Press association extends congratulations to J. Thomas Harrison, editor of the Cambridge (Mass.) Advocate, on his success in issuing the Advocate daily during the recent convention of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows held in Boston. Mr. Harrison has long been considered one of our most progressive newspaper men of the younger set, and his recent venture confirms the high estimate of his ability to do things worth while.
The great number of delegates and visitors to the convention were greatly surprised when they found the news of the convention in the Advocate every day. They at once became interested in the man who had the courage to make such an undertaking, and many sought the office of the sprightly little weekly which had the spunk to make its appearance every day. But this was in Cambridge, the historic New England college town, and the man behind the gun a persistent advocate of the possibilities and manhood rights of his race.
What Mr. Harrison has done along this line others may do when the occasion presents itself. One by one our business men are beginning to launch out further into the arena of constructive effort. They are learning that up through difficulties is the way to success, and it is fitting that the race press should lead. The Advocate flies the national colors at its head and the name of the press association in a box at the head of its editorial page.
Large Parochial School In New York.
Large Parochial School In New York.
The opening of a large parochial school for colored children in New York the latter part of September by the mother superior of the Sisterhood of the Blessed Sacrament created unusual interest among our people in the city. The enrollment is 360 boys and girls. Other schools for colored children fostered by Miss Catherine Drexel, which were opened on the same date, are one each in Boston, Cincinnati and St. Louis. The total number of schools directly under Miss Drexel's financial supervision is sixteen in various parts of the country. The four schools opened in September, including a home for the sisters in connection with the school in New York, cost over $300,000. Indian children are also admitted to these schools on the same basis as the colored children are.
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."
Big Victory For Anti-saloon League.
At the September election in Virginia the Anti-saloon league of the state won a great victory over the Liquor interests of the state. The law against the sale of intoxicating beverages in the state goes into effect the 1st-of November, 1916. Women Christian Temperance unions through out the country are rejoicing over the victory of the Virginia organization and will fight the liquor sellers in their respective communities with renewed determination.
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 Lelia 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 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.
STATISTICS SHOW THRIFT.
Occupations In Which the Race Is Engaged 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 27S 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
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. 8, 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.

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, limbers up the back and makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist 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.

Gives Honor to Whom Honor is Due,
By See Em Bee.
Dr. S. A. Huff, who has offices in the Kittredge Building in this city, is silently and modestly forging his way to the front in the professional world. His remarkable and almost miraculous success in so many cases will soon place his name among the most eminent physicians of our Race in the country.
Dr. Huff is a product of Memphis, Tenn., and is an embodiment of push, energy and skill. Endowed with a keen insight into the anatomy of the human body, he is highry fitted for the profession, which as been his life study.
Dr. Huff graduated from Meharry college, Nashville, Tenn., in 1902. He began his practice in hls home state, later coming west to Colorado, where he has enjoyed an excellent practice during his ten years' residence in Pueblo and Denver. That he is accomplishing a great work in this community is evidenced by the testimonies of scores of people, who have been cured of diseases pronounced incurable and who are living monuments of the skill and ingenuity of this aggressive and popular physician. Affiable in manner, courteous in his dealings, close application to his work are also attributes to his unlimited success. The following card of thanks from a grateful mother is a sample of the many expressions of appreciation of services rendered by this medical genius:
I would feel that I was very ungrateful, if I did not take this method of expressing my gratitude for the caltention given my daughter, Miss Irene Stewart by Dr. S. A. Huff. Owing to a severe cut in the right arm above the elbow, she was taken to the County hospital for treatment. The injury grew rapidly worse, blood poison set in and amputation of the arm declared necessary and her life despaired of. Leaving the hospital my daughter placed her case in the hands of Dr. Huff and he has not only saved her life, but her arm also, which is rapidly healing. Again I thank Dr. Huff and pray for his unlimited success in his chosen work.
Yours respectfully,
Julia Hammond,
Pueblo, Colo.
