Denver Star

The Denver Star Has The Largest Circulation Among Colored People. Get Wise and Advertise. The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The independent, have been merged into The Denver Star State historian & Natural History Society ESTABLISH The papers formerly TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 58 He That Runs May Read. Everything Republican; Sign of Times. Don't Confuse Party Principles With Liquor Amendment. SINK OR SWIM, RISE OR FALL, VOTE REPUBLICAN A Vote For Republican Victory Is Not For, Or Against The Liquor Amendment. The people of progressive Colorado make their own laws. They elect officials to enforce them. They have armed themselves with the initiative and referendum so that when a majority of the people of this state want a law they can get it and no legislature can force a law upon them that they do not want. The recall dangles like a sword over the head of any elected official who attempts to override the will of the people. If the majority of the people of this state vote against prohibition there will be no prohibition in Colorado regardless of the desires of the man who is elected governor. It is more true today than ever before that the men elected are the servants of the people, honored servants, it is true, but they must carry out the will of the people as expressed at the polls. It seems very probable at this time that Mr. Carlson will be the next governor of Colorado. Some of the voters of the state who are against prohibition have formed the idea that because Carlson is a believer in a "dry Colorado" that prohibition will be in effect if he is elected. Nothing could be further from the truth. The election of Mr. Carlson will have no more effect on prohibition in Colorado than the election of Mr. Wilson as president had. We, the people of this state, are going to tell Carlson whether we want prohibition or not, and he is going to enforce the laws as they are laid down before him regardless of his sympathies. If the people vote "No" on amendment No. 2, which is the prohibition amendment, the new governor of this state will see to it that the vast liquor interest are protected in every right they have under a law. Don't let scheming politicians pull the wool over your eyes again by telling you that a vote for Carlson is a vote for prohibition. They have no connection whatever as you vote for governor on one place on the ballot and down among the amendments, whether you want the state to go dry or remain as it is and not disturb the present business conditions. What Colorado needs above everything else at this time is law and order and law enforcement. The people of the state are a unit on that. It is certain that the new governor will be confronted by some grave labor problems when he takes office and Colorado at this time needs a man who will be fair and impartial. T. M. Patterson, the Democratic candidate for governor, cannot meet these requirements because his judgement has been so badly warped on the labor and other questions with which you are all familiar that he can no longer be an impartial judge in any dispute. For years and years he has been receiving large sums of money from the Western Federation of Miners and other labor unions to act as their attorney. Now he asks the people to elect him to judge these same industrial problems. If he is elected there will surely be two years of the worst turmoil that this state has ever seen and Colorado cannot stand that just now. George Carlson, the Republican candidate for governor, is of an entirely different type. By education, training and business he has developed into a man who stands for law enforcement regardless whether he approves of the law or not. As governor he will see to it that everybody respects and obeys the laws of this state and every problem with which we are confronted at this time can be settled by a strong man in the executive chair working on that theory. One thing The Post stands ready to guarantee is that If the people of this state vote down the prohibition amendment the rights and property of every man interested in the liquor business in this state will be thoroughly protected by George Carlson—Denver Post. The Grand Junction Daily News, the heart-string of the Great Western Slope Family, speaking of the Democratic Nominee of Denver Saturday Oct. 17th, said: "Where lawlessness thrives, there his fingermarks; where progress lives, there his knocking." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 24, 1914 Politics Make Strange Friends. Politics Make Strange Friends. "Consistency Thou Art A Jewel." Patterson's opinion of Senator Shafroth and Thomas: "The course of Colorado's two Senators, Shafroth and Thomas, is a mighty indictment against the spoils system. There is little room for doubt that had it not been for the offices that Senators may fill and their anxiety to build up a machine that will aid them in future contests and perhaps the opportunity to place near friends and relatives in lucrative positions, they would have continued true to their convictions that since revenue must be raised to meet the mighty expenditures of the government a duty should be retained on sugar that an industry so vital to Colorado have whatever support and encouragement that would be incidental to it."—Denver News, July 13, 1913. "If Senator Patterson does not observe his pledge to enforce prohibitory laws in the event the state goes dry any better than he is keeping his pledge to make a clean campaign, devoid of bitterness, prohibition will have little to hope for from his election." Statement of Cunningham published Sunday, Oct. 11, 1914. Senator Thomas' opinion of Patterson: "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 own clientage." Denver Republican, March 6th, 1900. Patterson's opinion of Julius Aichele: "Aichele has been the obedient tool of the machine. But the public condemnation of his course has been so severe that his name was not mentioned in the Democratic nominating convention and no machine man, however hardy, suggests that he will ever again hold any place of trust in this community." Denver News, April 20, 1904. Patterson's opinion of the present tariff law: "If the law rested on some basic principle one might fight for every inch of it and refuse to surrender at any point, but it doesn't. It is free trade and it is protection in acres. It strips Colorado naked and allows New Jersey to stand up to its neck in protection." Denver News. June 15, 1913. Patterson's opinion of Thomas. "Forgetful of everything that he had advocated, blinded by ambition for a seat in the United States Senate, he threw himself into the service of the great corporations." Denver News, March 4, 1900. The Boston Herald's opinion of Patterson: "Patterson is one of the cheapest demogogues that can be found in a day's journey. All the barbaric attempts of the baser elements of Colorado to make political fever by appeals to race prejudice, particularly that against the Asiatic, have had his endorsement." Boston Herald, Sept. 11, 1914. Patterson's opinion of Deputy District Attorney Wayne C. Williams for enforcing the Sunday Twelve o'clock closing ordinance. "The order issued by Assistant District Attorney Wayne C. Williams that Commissioner Nesbit must rigidly enforce the Sunday closing ordinance is both inhospitable and ungenerous. With out hesitation the News affirms that Mr. Williams should revoke that order. Denver News, June 27, 1914. Ed. Brake's opinion of Governor Ammons: "Governor Ammons is competent. If I could believe it wasn't deeper seated than this I might have some charity for the man." Speech at Pueblo, April 25, 1914. Ed. Brake's opinion of General Chase and the State Militia. "General Chase said he would run the district to suit himself and he chose to persecute strikers and his men have robbed homes, stolen the money of the strikers, insulted their wives and murdered their babies. They went out of their way to commit murder." Speech at Pueblo, April 15, 1914. Julius Aichele on election frauds. "Election fraud is a necessary evil. I would not convict any man of stealing an election. I take the position that if one man is not stealing an election another one will be in his place doing the same thing. It cannot be stopped and it is only a matter of whose ox is gored regulating these alleged reform movements. The Democratic party has stolen elections." Statement made May 4, 1904. Patterson's opinion of the present local option law: "It is not much to say that the only thing the law has accomplished is the regulat on of the drug store liquor traffic, to set a premium on perjury, and to make the dry towns good places for the unscrupulous quacks to ply their profession." Denver News, March 20, 1907. Patterson's opinion of Wilson's Panama tolls scheme "But even were it less important to guard against an AIDA OVERTON-WALKER IS DEAD. By Juli Jones Jr. Aida Overton-Walker, the dancer, passed away Sunday night, Oct. 11, 1914, was known the world over and was classed as one of America's greatest dancers. During her stage career she was considered the third wheel in the famous Williams and Walker Company. She was the widow of George W. Walker. Mrs. Walker was born in Richmond, Va., 34 years ago and was raised in New York City. She began her career as a dancer under Mrs. Thoop at the age of 10. Her cleverness attracted the attention of A. M. Palmer, who tried to place her in "1492," the big world's fair show. He saw her and the playmates dancing on the sidewalks in New York to the music of a street organ. It has been said that Aida Overton was responsible for the fad of chiidren dancing on the street. Mrs. Walker began her stage career with the Black Patti Troubadors, under the late Bob Cole's direction. Mr. Cole quickly discovered her talent and pushed her to the front. Her inability to sing was a big handicap to her. She filled a position in Isham's Octoroons, finally joined the team of Williams and Walker to assist them in their cake walk air-tight transportation monopoly the patriotism of an independent people would never consent to any such supine surrender of our rights as is involved in the proposal to arbitrate the Panama Canal regulations. Our money bought the Canal Zone; our money built the great ditch. Of the $400,000,000 that it cost not one cent came from a foreign source. Denver News January 13, 1913. Patterson's opinion of Roady Kenchan: Kenchan: "He accepted bribe money from Denver Gas Company in order to assist that company in securing its present franchise." Denver News, May 20, 1908. Why did Mr. Costigan who is now a candidate for Governor, keep silent when a word from him would have kept order; when our state troops six months ago were in armed conflict with certain members of the United Mine Workers of America, for whom he was an attorney and a man of large influence in their councils and a big leader of the Progressive party? If he could not handle the situation or did his best to assist the miners in handling it, why should we trust this great state to him? The Republican Party has always contended for and insisted upon the maintenance and enforcement of law and order in this state, and when in control of state affairs has always judiciously and fearlessly exercised all the powers of government for the full and adequate protection of all the FIVE CENTS A COPY. turn. This engagement brought about the romance between her and her dressy husband, which followed in their marriage. It was in the second big show of Williams and Walker, under the stage direction of the Mallory Bros. that it was discovered Mrs. Walker could sing. She was then teamed with Miss Grace Holliday as Overton and Holliday. Their turn was the biggest hit of any sister act. It equalled any of the white acts. Mrs. Walker gained confidence in herself and started the next season alone, making the hit of her career, singing and dancing "Miss Hannah from Savannah." Her rendition of the song reached from coast to coast and was sung and danced before King Edward in his royal palace. Mrs. Walker's star was set very near the world's famed stars, Williams and Walker. Mrs. Walker lost a lot of personal interest for the stage after the death of her husband and has not worked but two whole seasons since, one with Cole and Johnson, another with S. H Dudley, one team of the country, heading a big vaudeville act. Mrs. Walker devoted the last few years to her own vaudeville acts. Mrs. Walker is considered wealthy. The deceased is survived by an adopted sister, Jessie Overton, an uncle and aunt, Mr and Mrs. John Overton, and four cousins, all residing in New York. people, in their lives, liberties and property, and established and maintained social and industrial peace throughout the state. The present Democratic state administration has confessed its inability to maintain stable and effective government and discipline and to protect life and property in portions of the state, to such an extent that the capacity of the state as a sovereignty has been severely questioned by the federal government, to the great and lasting injury of the commonwealth and her citizens. Many members of the party and large numbers of law-abiding, peace-loving citizens of the state, irrespective of political faith, mindful of the ability and proven capacity of the Republican Party to restore Colorado and her citizens to the conditions of peace and prosperity to which they are entitled, and which they always enjoyed under Republican administrations, are calling upon and urging the Republican organization to bestir itself and renew its control of the affairs of the state, to the end that Colorado may be restored to her former position as a sovereign state among the states of the Union and, when restored, maintained as such, capable of self-government. The welfare, happiness and prosperity of our people depend absolutely upon the maintenance and enforcement of the laws and the complete protection of every citizen in the full exercise of all his constitutional rights and privileges.

THE BEST OF THE WORLD 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. The Star is against this sort of practice and has pledged itself to publish the names of those who "shirk" 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. Any Negro pretending to work for the success of the Republican Party and its candidates and found double crossing 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.

In each class their advancement has been the result of their own energies, efficiency, honesty and reliability. In the latter class is found Peter H.

Boston,—One of the ablest and most progressive of the A. M. E. Zion churchinen in this section is the Rev. Dr. B. WW, Swain, the popular pastor of the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion chur of this city. Dr. Swain since becoming pastor of this church has won the contidence and esteem of the public. ‘The personality of Dr. Swain has been keenly felt, and today the church enjoys the most prosperous pe- riod of its long history. In the short period of two years the chur has undergone an almost com- plete reorganization. ‘The success of Dr. Swain’s pastorate at this church has been that he has souciit to build up every department and to touch the lives of the young people. The church is one of the lar- gest snd most beautiful of the Zion edifices and has a seating capacity of 1,20). It ts valued at $100,000 and has a membership of 800. The ability of the pastor as a finan- cier is seen in the success that has come to him, in the large amounts he has,raised. During the two years of his pastorate he has raised $16,373.44. The Sunday school bas an enrollment of 48S pupils, and the Christian En- deavor society, which is one of the most active of the church auxiliaries, has « membership of 200. One of the inspiring features of the work of this cbur'l is the Young Men’s Bible class, whic has a membership of 150 thrifty young men. “These young men are induencing the [lives of other young men of the city in . most helpful was. They have been the means of inducing many of them to join the church. ‘The pastor is always ready and will ing to accord the young folks a place in sil departments of the church: hence a lively Interest in the work is |kep: up the year round.

See a ee terre Philadelphia, Pa.—There are many ing women in this city who are mak = good and at the same time inspir- = others to go forward along all lines useful endeavor and in this way are helping to work out some of the many rd problems which confront our peo- pie. In this number is to be found Miss Georgiana’ HL Sherman, who is consid- evod a musical wonder. \liss Sherman, though young In years, has had quite a wide experi- ence. By her ability and singleness of purpose she bas advanced to the front. Sue Was born in Williamsport, Pa., and received her early training in the pub- lic Schools ‘of her native town. After Salshing the common school course she attended the Dickinson seminary, where she took a thorough course in muste. In 1909 her parents moved to this city, and Miss Sherman entered the Koyal Conservatory of Music, where she took a course in artistic piano play- ing. She made good use of ber time while studying music, being one of the collectors for the National Benefit asso- ciation of Washington. As in music, she was a sticcess as a collector.

A VOTE FOR STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION IS A VOTE AGAINST LOCAL OPTION THE COLORADO BUSINESS MEN'S HOME RULE LEAGUE NON-PARTISAN — ABSOLUTELY DIVORCED FROM PARTY POLITICS. Do those who advocate the ab- solute prohibition of the manufae- ture and sale of all alcoholic liquors realize the seriousness of the social and economie erisis that would be precipitated by such leg jslation? Are they aware of the fact that the heads of families ag gregating probably not less than three million people would sud, denly be deprived of their sole means of livelihood, and that properties valued in the aggregate at perhaps two billion dollars would as suddenly become worth- less? It is doubtful if they do fully realize this, yet these are figures given by no less a writer than Dr. Henry Smith Williams in an article in the ‘Ladies Home Jour- nal,’’ reviewing the prohibition WHAT EMINENT DIVINES SAY ABOUT PROHIBITION. Bishop Keane, Wyoming “What does it mean? Absolute pro- hibition of the manufacture of liquor You take away then from science and from the medical profession and from the several cther classes of every use- ful people a quite needed commodity so that I could not in justice to the human race advocate the absolute pro. hibition of the manufacture of liquor.” Bishop Danie! $. Tuttle, Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episco- pal Church in the United States: movement. And he adds: ‘‘Per- sonally I am at a loss to under- stand how anyone who has the slightest grasp of economic ques- tions can contemplate with equa- nimity the anarchistic possibilities —nay, certainties—which reveal themselves through the slightest use of the imagination in connee- tion with these figures. Tome, at least, it seems obvious that the only thing which has kept the pro- hibition movement before the peo- ple of the United States is the simple fact that prohibition does not prohibit.” Thinking men and women who seek the truth and are unswayed by prejudice, amd who give the foregoing facts the consideration they deserve, cannot escape a like conclusion. “All true Americang, it seems to me, ought to strive to maintain and perpetuate American principles. State- wide prohibition violates and local op- tion supports this principle, therefore lam opposed to state-wide prohibl- tion and in favor of local option.” Bishop Clark, Rhode Island: “Prohibition has been disastrous w the cause of temperance.” Bishop Grafton, Wisconsin: “I cannot wee the benefits to be de rived from compulsory abstinence.

The warming up of the political candidates in this campaign in their scramble to secure as many votes as possible, means that the average voter of color is more or less of an important factor, as the time draws near the polls. Men and women are being sent for, caucusing of committees and leaders, all go to show what a factor the Negro is. Wistful, longing glances are cast in his direction and he is greeted with smiles and sweet words. Men whom he never saw before and whom he really does not know will speak to him and bubble effusively. His hand is wrung with a vengeance and cards bearing sober countenances and solemn promises are poked at him on every side. Why does the voter of color receive so much of respect and fawning attention that would ordinarily be received by any noted personage. Because this voter has before him the important selection of a man or set of men who want to run this state for the people. They want jobs. How shall the voter select? Not because the candidate played marbles with you when a boy, and used to join in going to the "old swimming hole." Not because the candidate passes you a cigar or gave you a drink at a saloon which heretofore drew the color-line. Not because ice cream and cake had been given you free. Not because the candidate tells how good you are and how bad the other fellow is, and finally not because the candidate is a jolly good fellow, nor because his father or grandfather fought in the war, but of the grand and noble principles of construction, progress, prosperity and peace afforded in the consumption of their great objects, and lastly because of their historical allegiance to human rights for all of humanity, will such action merit your vote. In Colorado the Democrats have crushed labor by an internal war, impeded progress, driven capital from this state and assassinated our self-government and plunged us into a huge debt, notwithstanding, we had a "watch dog of the treasury." After six years of such hard conditions, we must go up to the top of the hill of progress, industry and business confidence along the lines of reconstruction, remodeling, repairing and altering and changing and supplanting old policies of mistakes and Democratic ideas with advancing peace, progress and prosperity. To go up the hill, you must vote and work for a Republican landslide, November 3. CUT OUT AND SEND ME TO EVERY CONGRESSMAN PROSPECT. Mr.....

URGE YOU TO VOTE REPUBLICAN TICKET. Glenwood Springs, Colo. Dallas, Texas, Oct. 7, 1914. My dear George: Enclosed herewith I hand you check for $1.50 for my year's sub- cription, 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, Yours very truly, HARRY COWELL.

PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN. What Thomas L. Brooks Has Accomplished In Frankfort, Ky. Frankfort. Ky.—One of the most prominent and successful Negro contractors and builders of the south is Mr. Thomas L. Brooks of this city. Mr. Brooks is a native of Virginia, but has spent the greater part of his life in Kentucky, having lived here for thirty-two years. While he has contracted and built extensively through out eastern Kentucky, it has been in Frankfort that he has made his chief mark. Some of the most beautiful and costly edifices, scattered all over the capital city and with values running up into the thousands, are the products of his brain and skill. It can also be truthfully stated that fully 90 per cent of his work has been for white people and against the sharp opposition of white competitors. Over one-half of the residences of the celebrated Watson court, the most exclusive and handsome section of Frankfort, were built by Mr. Brooks. The Columbia theater, a $15,000 structure and the leading and most attractive moving picture theater of the city, is also his work. The auditorium and the trades building of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial institute, which were erected at a cost of $30,000, were also contracted for and built by this able contractor. It is an object of pride that both of these handsome stone buildings were built exclusively by Negro labor. The $10,000 Odd Fellows' building for our people and the $25,000 Baptist church were also erected under Mr Brooks' immediate supervision. He has a high standing among the banks and business men of Frankfort has accumulated much valuable property and his word is accepted as readily as most men's bond. He is held in the very highest esteem by both races and is easily one of the most popular men in the capital city. He takes high rank as a churchman, being one of the most widely known Baptist laymen in Kentucky. He has been a Sunday school superintendent for twenty years, a trustee for sixteen years, a deacon for four years and was church clerk for over four years. Mr. Brooks is also a prominent secret society man. He has been secretary of the Capital City lodge of Odd Fellows for twenty-four years, has been frequently a delegate to the B M. C, and has served his state most acceptably as grand master. He was the pioneer advocate of Negro fraternal insurance in Kentucky, having submitted a plan for same to the Kentucky grand lodge of Odd Fellows over twenty-two years ago. This is the first record of any suggestion or attempt at endowment in any colored grand lodge in Kentucky. He also holds a high official position in the Masons, Knights of Pythias and United Brothers of Friendship and is a member of the Union Benevolent society and the Mosaic Templars of America. He possesses an affable temperament, upright life and high Christian character, and, with an intense interest in the welfare and advancement of his people, he takes keen interest in civic affairs and is withal a public spirited citizen. a conserva leader of his race ADVANCING IN BUSINESS. Big Enterprise In Los Angeles, Cal., Managed by Eastern Men. The American Negro, thought at one time to be contented to occupy the limited sphere of servility and deemed fitted only for menial occupations, is gradually proving himself worthy of a higher estimate in the public view. The records in the United States patent office at Washington tell the story of his inventions, while a most comprehensive and satisfactory review of his progress in the commercial world is given in the annual meetings of the National Negro Business league. Notwithstanding the fact that there are still doubling Thomases as to the Negro's capacity for civilization, evidences are everywhere to be seen of substantial advancement in the professional and other avenues of American life. There are many unique cases in every part of the country, however, of colored men gaining headway in worthy enterprises, unnoticed and unidentified by their own people. Such examples of success when discovered should serve as a stimulus to other P. aspiring members of the race, for the inherent capacities of our people need but favorable opportunity for development, as some of these instances show. In Los Angeles, Cal., is located one of the most remarkable electrical concerns operated by Negroes in the United States. The chief promoters, Charles R. Anderson, president and treasurer, and W. H. Davis, secretary and manager, are doing fine work. Both are Boston men. Other officers are: Charles F. West, vice president; J. Harmon Wilson, engineer, and W. C. T. Durant, office manager. The success of the enterprise is due largely to the industry and keen business perception of the president and the secretary. The experimental stage has been passed. The company's growth in the confidence of an important branch of the commercial world has demonstrated the merit of its output and the efficiency of its management. Success can hardly be attained under our present competitive system except upon merit and efficiency. Up to the present time the company has expended nearly $20,000 in establishing the business. Last December, at an expense of $5,000, the company sent its president and an electrical engineer to Chicago for the purpose of obtaining the best material possible with which to operate its plant. The trip to Chicago proved a great success. The representatives of the company returned and, with new zeal and enthusiasm, started out to equip the concern with the most modern machinery. Savannah Tribune Thirty Years Old. The Savannah (Ga.) Tribune celebrates its thirtieth anniversary by issuing a thirty-two page edition fully illustrated from photographs showing its building and office force, the Wage Earners' Loan and Investment company, the First Baptist church, which was established in Savannah in 1788; the Pilgrim Life Insurance company, the new Cuyler Street school, closing scene at the St. Benedict school, the new Masonic temple, the Carnegie Library, the Charity hospital, main building and operating room; the Eureka Ald and Athletic association, scores of pictures of successful business, professional and secret society men and women and many of the religious and fraternal buildings owned by the race. The whole edition reflects credit upon Editor Sol C. Johnson and his capable force of clerks, correspondents and general assistants. There is also a wealth of good paying advertising matter. Editor Johnson is a member of the National Negro Press association. George W. Ellis' New Volume on Africa The Hon. George W. Ellis, K. C., F. R. G.

His book contains the most searching investigation and the most comprehensive and scientific social survey of African native institutions which has yet been made on the field. It is unlike anything which has ever been published. Besides the alphabet and two folklore stories written in the only native script known to be invented by a Negro, this volume has thirty four illustrations of Negro life and arts, with fifty-two folklore stories gathered first hand and translated from a written Negro language, besides 114 proverbs explained with all their social settings and interpretations UNION HEALTH and ACCIDENT POLICIES ALWAYS SATISFY CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $150,000.00 Union Health & Accident Co., Denver, Colo.

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 informed, 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. tf Carnation Art Club will give a Stocking Social and a New England Chicken Dinner at 2524 Clarkson St., Oct. 29th. Dinner 25c. --- Richard B.

POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method o. treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

[Phone Main 7702] CENSUS FIGURES SHOW OUR THRIFT Big Increase In Colored Population Since 1900. DEGREASE IN DEATH RATE. Wealth of Information Contained In Forthcoming Bulletin Prepared by Director Harris of the Department of Commerce—School Attendance and Value of Farms Given In Detail. Washington.—A bulletin on Negroes in the United States will be issued at an early date by William J. Harris, director of the census, department of commerce, which will contain all the principal information obtained through the census regarding the number and distribution of the Negroes, their rate of increase, their sex and age distribution and their marital condition. Figures for illiteracy and school attendance and the occupations of Negroes will also be presented. The bulletin will show that the number of Negroes in the United States (exclusive of outlying possessions) in 1910 was 9,827,763, and they formed 10.7 per cent of the total population. In 1900 the number of Negroes was 8,833,994, or 11.6 per cent of the total population of that date. The increase among the Negroes during the decade was 993,769, or 11.2 per cent, as compared with an increase of 20.8 per cent among the native whites and of 30.7 per cent among the foreign born whites. The growth of the Negro population results from their own natural increase, while the growth of the white population is accelerated by the great influx of immigrants and the high birth rate in immigrant families. Of the total number of Negroes in 1910 about one-fifth were reported as mulatto—that is, as having some white blood. The proportion that mulattoes formed of the total Negro population increased from 12 per cent in 1870 to 15.2 per cent in 1890 and to 20.9 per cent in 1910. Nearly three-fourths of the Negroes (7,138,534, or 72.6 per cent) were rural dwellers, while about one-fourth (2,089,229, or 27.4 per cent) lived in towns or cities of at least 2,500 inhabitants. The Negroes formed 14.5 per cent of the rural population of the United States, as compared with 6.3 per cent of the urban. In the southern states the great majority of the Negroes lived in rural districts, while of the Negroes of the north and of the west a large proportion were city dwellers. In 1910 there were 4,885,881 Negro males in the United States, as compared with 4,941,882 Negro females, the number of males to 100 females thus being 98.9, as compared with a ratio of 106 for the whites. The Negroes were the only race in the United States in which there were more females than males. The age distribution of the Negroes does not differ materially from that of the native whites. The Negro males in the United States of voting age numbered 2,458,873 in 1910, and the Negro females of voting age numbered 2,427,742. School Attendance and Illiteracy. Of the Negroes six to nine years of age 488,954, or 49.3 per cent, were reported as having attended school during the school year, 1909-10; of those ten to fourteen years of age, 791,995, or 68.6 per cent, were so reported, and those fifteen to twenty years of age, 338,750, or 26.5 per cent. In each age group the percentage of school attendance was much lower for the Negroes than for the whites. Of the total number of Negroes ten years of age and over, 2,227,731, or 30.4 per cent, were reported as illiterate. Among the whites the percentage of illiteracy was 5, being 3 among native whites and 12.7 among foreign born whites. The percentage of illiteracy among Negroes decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 44.5 in 1900, and to 30.4 in 1910. The bulletin will contain information by states, and also by counties about Negroes in agriculture. The total number of farms operated by Negroes in 1910 was $93,370. Of this number 218,.972 were operated by their owners, 672,964 by tenants and 1,434 by managers. The number of farms owned by Negroes increased by 31,175, or 16.6 per cent, between 1900 and 1910, and the number of Negro tenants increased by 115,790, or 20.8 per cent, during the decade. Increase In Value of Farm Property. The total value of farm property operated by Negroes in 1910 was $1,144,181,000 as compared with $499,941,000 in 1900, indicating that the value of agricultural property operated by Negroes increased considerably more than twofold during the decade. The statistics show that 1,806,727 Negro males and 1,050,849 Negro females were engaged in agriculture. The data will be shown for the registration area of the United States, which includes the registration states and certain selected cities. The death rate among Negroes in 1910 in this area was 25.5 per 1,000, showing a decrease as compared with the rate in 1900, which was 29.4, and the death rates for 1910 show many decreases, especially in the southern municipalities.

The latest statistics showing the percentage of colored persons engaged in professional work in the south and north indicate growth. In the south 2.5 per cent are engaged in the professions, such as physicians, lawyers, dentists, schoolteachers and the like. 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. 厨师 ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE. Philadelphia Organization Takes Up Problem of Industrial Conditions. The recent meeting of the Round Table Conference held in Philadelphia for the purpose of improving the industrial condition of Afro-Americans was a most important gathering. The conference is bringing its influence to bear on labor organizations in that it is urging upon the various trade unions the necessity and also the fairness of giving the colored man a chance to work at such employment in skilled labor as his ability warrants. The Armstrong association has done much in this direction and has opened up a somewhat broader field for employment of different kinds. Among the speakers at the conference and their subjects were Mr. A. F. Manley, a contractor, who spoke on the "Industrial Situation In Philadelphia;" J. Bruce Byall, on the "Present Condition of the Colored Man and the Outlook;" "Private Education" was discussed by J. R. P. Brock. Housing conditions and other timely topics were also discussed, and an active campaign was launched to get results along the lines indicated. The conference emphasized the fact that there are 90,000 colored people in Philadelphia and that the efforts of many of this number in the past to get employment commensurate with their ability and aspirations have not met with as much success as conditions justify. It also called attention to the large amount which the colored people spend for clothing and food with white people alone, to say nothing of what they spend with their own race in business and the professions. A sentiment for more just and friendly relations between the races was one of the very encouraging features of the conference. THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION. Commission to Arrange Celebration Issues First Annual Report. The Illinois commission appointed by Governor Edward F. Dunne for the purpose of arranging for the fifteenth anniversary celebration of the freedom of the colored people in the United States has made its first annual report. The commission was appointed in July, 1913, under an act of the forty-eighth general assembly. The exposition will be held in the Coliseum building in Chicago, opening about the 1st of August, 1915. One of the features of the celebration will be a series of congresses showing the educational, religious, sociological, agricultural and industrial progress of the race since the civil war. Chicago and Cook county have appointed committees to assist the state commission in gathering suitable material for the exhibits, and a congressional committee has before it a bill for $150,000 to defray the expenses of the exposition. The commission has experienced some difficulty in the beginning of its work in getting such material for exhibit as it wishes, but this drawback has been overcome, and the work is moving forward smoothly. More than 200 models of inventions by colored Americans have been loaned by the patent office in Washington for the use of the commission in the arrangement and classification of the various exhibits. The coming year therefore should mean much to the race in effort, inspiration and hope. Several of the large business, civic and religious organizations among our people will doubtless hold their annual meetings in Chicago during the month of August. The commission is composed of Edward F. Dunne, governor of Illinois; the Right Rev. Samuel Fallows, Mrs. Susan Lawrence Joergen-Dahl, Major George W. Ford, the Rev. A. J. Carey, John Dailley, W. Duff Plercy, R. R Jackson, Medill McCormick, William C. Niblack, vice president and title officer of the Chicago Title and Trust company. Thomas Wallace Swann is the secretary.

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 many 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 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 our 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 fut ture. 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.

Georgia Received Last Cargo of Slaves, Says Southern Paper. The Mobile (Ala.) Register, in an editorial reference to a new book called "Historic Sketches of the South," by Miss E. L. Roche of Mobile, states that these "sketches" are "confined to a review of the beginning of Negro slavery in America, the early legislation against the slave trade, and the conditions of the trade with America, as an introduction, to an account of the voyage of the Chlotilde, the last slave trading venture undertaken, and its results." It is not quite correct to describe the voyage of the Chlotilde as the last slave trading venture. There was a still later one, and Georgia, not Alabama, received the very last cargo of slaves from Africa. The slayer Chlotilde landed 175 Negroes from Africa near Mobile in 1858. In December of the same year the slayer Wanderer, sailing under the flag of the New York Yacht club, landed 750 slaves from the Kongo, near Brunswick, on the Georgia coast. The Wanderer landed 600 more slaves from the Congo on the Georgia coast in the following year—1859. Stephen A. Douglas declared in a public speech that he believed 15,000 Negro slaves were smuggled into the United States in 1859, but so far as we know, the only importation on record for that year was the Wanderer's second cargo of 600. It is at least certain that the Wanderer was actively engaged in the outlawed business in the year after the minor exploit of the Chlotilde. It is related that the 750 Negroes first landed by the Wanderer in December, 1858, were sent up the Satilla and Savannah rivers and scattered over the state of Georgia, and that these slaves were sold at $600 to $700 apiece, although they cost only a few beads and red handkerchiefs. (The American Slave Trade, John R. Spears, pp. 199-208.) In a speech delivered at August, Ga. July 2, 1850, Alexander H. Stephens, without referring to the successful smuggling expeditions of the Wanderer and the Chilotide, boldly suggested the desirability of a reopening of the African slave trade which had ceased as a lawful enterprise in 1808 by the decree of the constitution of the United States. He rejoiced that the slavery institution was apparently more strongly fortified than it ever had been, as a result of the agitations following the compromise of 1850. "Questions that were doubtful and mooted before these agitations have since been settled," he said, "settled by all the departments of the government," referring to Chief Justice Taney's decision in the Dred Scott case and the triumph of the "popular sovereignty" plan for the territories. But the advantage gained would be fruitless, he thought, without "an increase of African slaves from abroad." "It takes people to make states," he said, "and it requires people of the African race to make slave states. You may not expect to see many of the territories come into the Union as slave states unless we have an increase of African stock." The attitude of Stephens was the more remarkable in view of the fact that the constitution of the Southern Confederacy, adopted two years later, forbade the reopening of the African slave trade, and no proposition to do otherwise was even offered in the preliminary discussions. What is chiefly interesting to us now in connection with these last importations of slaves half a century ago is the fact that the 1.350 "wild" Negroes from the Kongo that were sent up the Satilla and Savannah rivers and scattered over Georgia were in most cases very young men and women, perhaps from sixteen to thirty years of age, and it is probable that not a few of them are still living, while their children and grandchildren are legion. The fact that aboriginal savagery is in many cases no more remote than that ought to be taken into account both when we pass judgment and when we consider the varied aspects of our Negro problem 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 settle 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. 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 1855 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 J. 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.
