S. Supreme Court. Mr. Justice Day as to whether or not several "Jim Crow" cases had been passed on by the state courts, Mr. Harrison answered that while it was a fact that the supreme courts of several of the states had passed upon the validity of the several Jim Crow enactments, it was also a fact that upon appeal the supreme court almost invariably held with the state courts' and for this reason plaintiffs had decided to institute suit fn the federal courts. Asked by Mr. Justice Pittney if his petition did not allege that in the enactment of this statute the legislature of Oklanoma was actuated wholly by a desire to humiliate the colored people of that state, Mr. Harrison answered that he did and that he hoped to show by argument that such was the case. The readiness and apparent sincerity with which Mr. Harrison answered every question put by the court seemed to have dissolved in his favor every doubt as to his ability and his preparedness. Annapolis, Md.—Argument touching upon the validity of the separate car law will be heard in the court of Appeals one day next week, when the case of Joseph Jenkins, charged with violation of the law by refusing to occupy a seat assigned to colored people come up. Jenkins was a passenger on a car of the Washington, Balt & Annapolis Railway. He was indicted in Baltimore City for alleged violation of the "Jim Crow" car law. Hawkins & McMechen, his attorneys demurred to the indictment on the ground that it did not state between what point Jenkins was a passenger. Judge Elliot sustained the demurrer and the State filed an appeal. In the case of Attorney William H. H. Hart of Washington, charged with violation of the law the Court of Appeals ruled that a passenger traveling from a point with out the State to a point with in and vice versa, was exempt from the provisions of the law. Washington, D. C.—The Hon. William Harrison of Oklahoma City, Okla., unquestionably one of the ablest Afro-American lawyers of the country, appeared before the United States Supreme Court in oral argument against the constistuionality of the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law. The Oklahoma statutes, in addition to the usual Jim Crow requirements of separate cars and waiting rooms for the white and colored races, permit the railroads to use chair cars, sleeping cars and dining cars exclusively for one race. The railroads contend that this is a justified distinction in service, as not enough colored people desired facilities to pay the railroad for furnishing them. Replying to the contention set up by the railway companies, Mr. Harrison was heard by the court to allege that the law upon which their contention is based is a direct violation of both the letter and the spirit of the enabling act under which the state of Oklahoma was admitted to the union; that it contravenes the commerce laws of the United States; that it nullifies Sections 1 and 5 of the fourteenth amendment, which had for its very purpose the prevention of just such discriminatory legislation as here complained of, and that there fore the same is null and void and ought to be so declared by the honorable court. In the discussion of each and all of these propositions Mr. Harrison evidenced that keenness of penetration, that comprehensive knowledge of the law and its practice, that facility and eloquence of speech and that dignity of manner and bearing which designated him at once the able lawyer and the great pleader, and won for him the most respectful and sympathetic hearing of the greatest court in the world. Mr. Harrison's argument was a deliberate, dispassionate, incisive and logical discussion of the ease at bar from its every angle, and was beyond question one of the ablest defenses ever heard in behalf of the Afro-American before this great court. The readiness with which he replied to every interrogatory by the court, the numerous authorities cited, the range and character of the argument submitted all showed Mr. Harrison to be thoroughly familiar with the law and the facts in the case, and therefore fully prepared to meet the issue of the hour. Mr. Harrison was asked by Chief Justice White if it was the purpose of the plaintiffs to allege discrimination. 'Most, positively so,' was the instant reply by Mr. Harrison. Replying to a question put by Notes Of Racial Progress. A Thought for the Week. "While folks are talking war and getting alarmed over its possible outcome, we are conducting a most vigorous campaign to increase our debt from $6,000 to $10,000 per week. Our agents have caught the spirit of the campaign and the new business they are turning in each week is most encouraging."—Mr. T. K. Gibson, Manager of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Co. To Argue Validity Of Separate Car Law DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 14, 1914 Segregation As Viewed By The Leaders and Race Journals. Mr. Booker T. Washington's endeavor to induce colored people to stop fighting segregation ordinances has brought bitter retorts from colored papers. 'The Columbian Herald of Louisville, Ky., calls it "obsequious doctrine" and says: "When Booker Washington advises the delegates to the Negro Business League to cease fighting segregation laws and to devote themselves to acquiring wealth and intelligence, he was simply advocating his propaganda which he has been preaching for the past quarter of a century, viz., "I the line of the least resistance,' or to state it more accurately, 'no resistance at all.' 'It is this obsequius doctrine that has resulted in growing up a generation of moral cowards among the Negroes of this country. This teaching of his has brought about a condition of economic serfage that has well nigh sapped all the manhood and darkened the hopes and stiffened the ennobling aspirations of the Negroes for fifty years. It is to be very much regretted that a man of such commanding opportunity and wide influence in his day and generation should be so servile and spineless in his teachings. "It is very damaging doctrine that has brought about the unbearable and humiliating conditions of jim crowism, disfranchisement and segregation, which may be regarded as "the unkindest of all." "It is inconceivable that one who occupies so prominent a position in the Afro-American world should so far forget his position and his dignity as to urge his race to cease protesting against the most cowardly and humiliating legislation in the land. "It is safe to say that segregation has many champions even among our race, but almost without exception they are to be found among the element where there is the least intelligence and where there is an inherent fear of opposing anything the white man chooses to do. But here we are smitten from an unexpected quarter; a recognized leader of his race, an educator, tells us to forget our manhood; to forget the sacred and inalienable rights of political and personal liberty and to passively submit to the humiliation of being pushed aside as though we are a race of lepers, because we would seek cleaner and healthier neighborhoods in which to live. "To submit to a degradation without serious objection is worse than cowardly; it is unmanly and ignoble and any race that would do so without exhausting every means of moral and legal protest is unworthy of the name civilized. Segregation is wrong, wrong in principle and fact; and if Dr. Washington believes it is wrong, as we think he does, it is to be deeply regretted that he lacks the moral stamina to say so. "It is obvious even to the friends and supporters of Dr. Washington that if he is quoted accurately, he cannot in the future be regarded as being in sympathy with the Afro-American who places his self-respect and manhood above everything else, and who is not willing to sacrifice either for the sake of living on more congenial terms with his white brother." In striking contrast to Mr. Washington's advice the Rev, Quincy Ewing, a white southern minister of Mississippi, lays bare the whole inner meaning of segregation and Jim Crow legislation. "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 at 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 nor 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." The Louisville News says: "It is inconceivable that on a position in the Afro-American his position and his dignity as the testing against the most coward in the land. "It is safe to say that segreg even among our race, but almost to be found among the elemental intelligence and where there is anything the white man chooses smitten from an unexpected quail his race, an educator, tells us to get the sacred and inalienable liberty and to passively submit pushed aside as though we are would seek cleaner and healthier live.

Washington's advice to the Negroes concerning the Segregation Laws is like advising the poor downtrödden Negro not to even try to get out of the hole he is in, but make the hole bigger and live in it." The Cleveland Gazette says: "The race can produce a dozen 'big definite pieces of As a matter of fact tremendous pressure is put upon Mr. Washington by the white South. Whenever for a moment he tries to stand up for the rights of his race the white South proceeds to hammer at him. When for instance he recently made a very mild appeal for better accommodations on railroads, the August Chronicle said: "Washington's program in the past led him away from 'rights' like this. For the Negro he has sought 'rights' to labor, behave and acquire property. "The longer the Negro avoids crusades for such things as parlor car and lower berth accommodations and the more diligently that he eschews politics, the better his chances FIVE CENTS A CORE.

Colored Man Father Of Twenty Children McNeil, Ark. - William Quinney, who has been living near hear, passed through McNeil to-day enroute to Shreveport, accompanied by a portion of his interesting family of twenty children, and his third wife. The children with him numbered seven, and they are all by his present wife, the oldest being only twelve years of age. Quinney had seven children by his first wife, including two sets of twins: six by wife No 2 and seven by the present one. All the wifes are living, and after divorcing his former helpmeets Quinney on each occasion lived six years in single blessedness. With his record of three wives and twenty children Quinney is still only thirty-eight years old and expects to acquire quite a large family before he dies. Negro Finds $900 Pearl. Holly Grove, Ark.—Rev. R H. Lane Marianna who has how many years of experience in pearling came over last week and went to Maddox Bay on a pearling expedition and found one which he sold to Dr. Owens of Newport for $000. for progress. It would be to the Negro's advantage if he was not allowed to vote at all. Booker may as well be reminded that the white men and women passengers are not to sleep in the same Pullmans with black men and women passengers. Also, that the railroads are not going to put on special Pullmans for the blacks. Also, that what is here said is true of the white people of the North, the East and the West, as well as of the white people of the South.

NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St. Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. The Sunday School rally was indeed an enthusiastic gathering.

The rally secured a goodly number of new enrollments. The young people of the church and community have organized a literary and dramatic society to meet weekly at the church on Friday evenings. A splendid beginning was made last Friday a week ago. Enthusiasm was a marked characteristic of the meeting and success is assured.

Commenting on the conditions which confront the colored people in all sec- tions of the country in their efforts to make progress, Major Robert R. Moton of the Hampton (Va.) institute says: “Even the casual observer must see that there is growing a spirit of real co-operation and sympathy between the two races in the south, and that never before has there been a more earnest and sincere effort on the part of both races for mutual help and co- operation. “There is a growing and genuinely honest disposition on the part of the colored people everywhere to seek the advice as well as the assistance and co-operation of white people in every movement for the common good of the race. There is an increasingly strong feeling on the part of laborers and mechanics for unity and co-operation with similar groups of white artisans composed of whites, and the unions are seeing more and more the necessity for a closer union of the various class- es of akilled workers, and this feeling will continue to grow as men become Ee trained. better educated and Christians. ‘ “In educational matters also there is @ growing sympathy and spirit of co: operation between the races. The Ne- gro Is calling on scbool officials for a fair and equitable distribution of school funds. He fs asking for better schools, longer terms, better pay for teachers and better equipment. In many cases the Negroes out of their own earnings sre buying lund for the schools, often putting up the school- houses. “Sometimes they supplement the pay of the teacher, this xenerally being done with the advice and approval of the local school officials, who are mak ing appropriations for school purposes with a liberality such as was never before witnessed.” FUNDS FOR STATE SCHOOLS.

But there is no question in the minds of those who have studied Negro housing that a large proportion of these people de- sire better homes than those they are able to obtain in most of our cities. “One who bas inspected many Negro homes cannot but be impressed by the evident desire for cleanliness and oF- der thst many of the housekeepers show. even under the most disconrag- ing conditions.

T the end of Maple street stood a lovely white house with green , shutters. This was the home of ‘Minn (Panolone: Remote tha lest: T the end of Maple street stood a lovely white house with green shutters. This was the home of ‘Miss Penelope Semple, the last of an bonored and loved family num- bered among the first settlers of Con- cord. For some twenty years she had dwelt—with Anne Barnes, her maid, a descendant of those who had served the original Semples—in the house cf Ae uh i Uae PaaS 64 ap pie Z, “ TRE her forefathers, and none but the old- est inhabitants could recall the times when the family consisted of Judge Joel Semple, bis wife Elizabeth and their children. Richard, Penelope and Martha. The son was a bitter disap- pointment to the judge, because he re- fused to study Inw and succeed his father in that honorable profession. Nature had endowed him with a talent for reproducing her beauties, and he worshiped before the shrine of Apollo in preference to that of the wise Ath. ene. As a result he quarreled with the judge and departed for Europe. For several years he communicated with Penelope, but finally bis letters ceased to arrive. ‘The gentle mother succumbed to an attack of pneumonia and was followed a year later by her younger daughter. Shortly afterward the judge was dis- covered dead in his office, a victim of apoplexy, and Penelope was left to face life alone in the large white house. Sbe exerted every effort to locate her brother, only to experience failure. In the days when there were many branches to the family tree it was the custom for the Semples to assemble at the home of the judge for Thanksgtv. ing. Since the death of her parents Miss Penelope continued to throw open the hospitable doors of the white house for Thanksgiving celebration. For the twentieth time she waited in happy anticipation the arrival of the advance guest. Her eyes swept with an appreciative glance the candlesticks and old family plate shining with new- ly acquired brightness, the cut glass decanters and the dustless mahogany ‘furniture ready for the mortow’s feast. ne noeker summoned her to the door, and, throwing it open, Penelope | greeted her cousin and his wife. From that time on until Inte evening the | Semples continued to gather about the hearthstone of the white house. The evening was happily spent, the younger generation dancing. while their elders exchanged reminiscences, and at mid- night they retired to await the dawn of Thanksgiving day. Dinner time came tn due season next "day, Miss Penelope seated her guests, and the radiunt circle was complete. ‘Then the various dishes were placed “upon the board—roasts. brolled fish, vegetables, pastries and sweetments. and each vied with the other in quality | and toothsomeness. They crunched tbe celery, reveled in the browned sweet “potatoes and nodded approval at the pumpkin ples. There stole over every one & sense of peice and coutentment. “which comex when love and kindness permeate the atmosphere. Phen Dr, Wiillam Semple rose from “bik chatr and. holding aloft slender glass tiled with wine of a rare vittage | said ina voice of unusual richness: “My kinspeople, I want you to drink to the health and happiness of our dear Penel- ope, whose unselfish love and delight- ful personality are a benediction to us all.” When he ceased speaking: everybody was standing. with the exception of Penelope, with glasses uplifted: ready to drink, when there came a loud knock at the door. One of the younger bors answered its msistent demands and found on the threshold a youth of bis own age. “I have come to see Penelope Sem- ple,” he said simply, and was ushered to the lady’s chair. He bowed low over ber hand and kissed {t, then stood tall and straight before the fragile, gray clad woman. ‘The years rolled from her shoulders Mke raindrops from a window and, clasping the boy to her, she cried, “Dick, my own Dick!” “Not Dick, Aunt Penelope, but Dick's son. He only told me of my family last month before he died and insisted that I reach here for Thanksgiving. Father described this scene so vividly that when the door opened I feared that it might not be real. Tell me that it ts— and that I am welcome.” Dr. Semple placed a chair at the left of Penelope's for the new found mem- ber of the old Semple family. ‘The arrested toast was completed. and when they were all reseated Penel- ope arose and, placing a hand lovingly on the lad’s shoulder, addressed her guests. “I have mucb—very much—to be thankful for. My Dick has returned, not as a brother, but as a son, for as such I shall love him. What a heaven my declining years will be with him to plan for! Truly, God is good.”—Phila- delphia North American. TURKEY BECOMING EXTINCT. We'll Have to Find Another Center- piece For Thanksgiving Dinners. It is a sad fact fo state. but if the truth must be told it looks very much as if the great American turkey, the center of our Thanksgiving festivities, will after not many years become as ex- tinct as the auk, says the Washington Star. According to the census in 1890, the number of turkeys that year was 12,000,000. The population at that time was at least a dozen million less than it is now. But the last census returns place the turkeys at only 3,689,708, their valuation being $6,005.818. Hence it is easily seen that, while the turkey eating population is increas- ing by the hundreds of thousands, the fowls themselves are decreasing at an even greater rate. We have a nation of 90,000,000 people and only 3,000,000 turkeys. Turkeys are very delicate birds, and in spite of their huge size they cannot stand the hardships that chickens can easily endure. By nature wild, they ‘ AN t: LA FOS mam =i fs | ox Sy: 3 BAe F i i te rie wr Sie tae sm brs eee Betty ey Gye ere” 2s " See SS +r + ST, ja ee Cae ee pine and die in continement, yet ff left to wander too young are killed by wet grass and vermin. They do not like to roost in 2 house like chickens, but pre- fer to sit In rows on the boughs of tall trees. Even in storms and blizzards they sit calmly as druids perched high on the swaying limbs and seemingly heedless of rain or cold. But put them in a warm house or in a cramped yard and they do not thrive. So the diff. culty of raising them bas been a large factor in the high price of their ment and their growing scarcity. Thanksgiving In Cromwell's Day. That Thanksgiving day was 200 years ago popularly and generally ob- served in England {s well shown by the following passage: For Hudibras who thought he ‘ad won ‘The field as certain as a gun And, having routed the whole troop, With victory was cock-a-hoop. Thinking he “ad done enough to purchase Thanksgiving day among the churches. ‘Thus wrote Butler in 1651, during Oliver Crowgwell’s tenure of power, and it clearly proves that at a time when the observance of the day was but just beginning to be regularly kept In this country, the English recognized the day very generally as one of Joy and feasting.

Fitzgerald Extends Time to Present Case to Supreme Last week was an epoch making week with the Ministers' Alliance of Denver (colored), when they; through a committee from their body, went before the governor of this state and made a strong plea on behalf of John W. Jones, who was convicted and sentenced to be hanged Nov. 15 for the killing of a white man in Craig, Colo. Lawyer Ross was interested in the matter and upon investigation found that the trouble arose in a gambling game wherein the white man drew his gun and fired at the Negro (Jones) when Jones then fired and killed the man who was just unlucky in his aim. Jones says much prejudice was exhibited at the trial and the only eye witness, a Mexican, testified to this state of affairs, did not fully have the proper opportunity to present his testimony, as it had to be done through an interpreter. The ministers and others think from the facts as they know them, that either the death penalty is too severe for the alleged crime, or that justice would be outraged if he was compelled to pay the death penalty under such mitigating circumstances. Jones was a gambler, so was the white man; but Jones had a right to be tried justly and fairly treated and it is the duty of every citizen to see to it that he gets this. Many white people have already pledged themselves to give money to take the case to the Supreme court and let that honorable body pass on the merits of the case. Then if they say justice has been done, it is then up to the governor and the pardon board to review the case and correct all errors. Denver ought to feel proud of their ministers in taking up this case. Jones has no friends, no money, and seems forsaken. We trust the ministers will push the matter so that justice can and will be done. The president of the Alliance, Rev. Washington, can be seen or called up at Main 7965 at any time about this matter. If some can escape the death penalty, why cannot others who are more entitled to clemency? THE AFTERMATH. That Geo. A. Carlson should be elected in the fiercest and most aggressive contest for the governorship in this state, has been a great source of gratification and inspiration for the good it will do the different parties. The people rose up and sounded the death knell of machine, civil service politics, political insurrections, official bickering and extravagance in the state administrations for some time to come. Mr. Carlson is eminently fit for his high position of honor and by an overwhelming plurality the people have indicated the confidence and respect they have for him. Not alone is Carlson's victory a good reason for our gratification, but it is cause for rejoicing that the grand old party has once again been elected to power in this state. While Colorado only in part repudiated the Wilson propaganda, yet we are pleased to note that the other parts of the nation did their full duty in repudiation of segregation in Washington. The Star was deeply pained to know that only one Republican could be returned to Congress at this time and the other Democrats were successful, yet we hope that Senator Thomas and Representative Edward Keating will not vote against the Interests of the Negro, as they did in the Jones agricultural bill. We hardly believed the record when we saw how Mr. Keating voted. While Sena tor Thomas and Rep. Taylor could so easily justify their consciences and actions, yet we could not see how such a big and broad man as the Hon. Edward Keating had always proven himself to be, would stultify himself to violate his sacred principles of full fledged democracy. We trust Mr. Keating has seen his error ere he goes to Congress. The Star refuses to believe Mr. Keating meant to be unfair to the Negro. The very important part played by the Colorado Negro in helping to return the Republican ticket to power has struck a blow against the power of the South in politics (who only bear about 16 per cent. of our national burdens, but who are now the dictators in Congress), and the Southern oligarchy which the president endorses.

Woodrow Wilson can depend upon it that the colored voters have not forgotten—nor forgiven. Tuesday's result is an earnest protest of what the future holds for Mr. Wilson and his 'nigger-riding' Southerners in the saddle at Washington. For Mr. Wilson they are not pleasant to contemplate." Now that election is over, the Colorado Negro will be just as anxious to share in the spoils of the victory as he was eager to win success for the victors. CANON CITY NEWS.

This being the Thanksgiving season, it should be the proper time to ask why the United States of America has a monopoly on the celebration of a day of thanks to the supreme Giver for the blessings he has conferred. Why is there not a day of universal thanks, when all the civilized nations of the earth could get together for one day and proffer their thanks for the blessings they have received? Every civilized nation recognizes a supreme Ruler and Author of all good, and Christian, Jew, Mohammedan, Buddhist and Confucian could unite for one day at least in the brotherhood of thankfulness. It would be a beautiful idea if we in America who instituted this day of thanks could pass its spirit all around the world and know that on this day, when we pause a while to offer thanks, every other nation was doing the same. That would be a unity which has never yet been attained, but of which no man of any faith can give any good and sufficient reason for its nonexistence. There is absolutely no argument against a day of universal thanks, and if anybody—Jew or gentile—can object to it I should like to know the nature of his objection. The feeling of gratefulness is a common heritage of mankind, and, as it is, why should mankind hesitate to become a unit in its acknowledgment? We can have world expositions, world congresses, world societies, world tribunals, so why not a world Thanksgiving day?—W. J. Lampon in Letter to New York World. Give Thanks! Praise God for wheat so white and sweet of which to make our bread! Praise God for yellow corn with which his waiting world is fed! Praise God for fish and flesh and fowl he gave to man for food! Praise God for every creature which he loves to eat it! Praise God for winter's store of ice; praise God for summer's heat! Praise God for fruit tree bearing seeds! "To you it is for meat." Praise God for all the bounty by which the world is fed! Praise God, his children all, to whom he THE TRUE THANKSGIVING. By Rev. Dr. JOSEPH KRAUSKOPF of Philadelphia. It is well that our fathers instituted the day of Thanksgiving on which to be made conscious of the countless blessings that surrounded them and of their many obligations to render praise and thanksgiving to the author of them all. In return for God's mercy we should think of those in our midst not so blessed as we and give them also opportunity for being thankful and for rejoicing. The truly grateful feels that God does not lavish his blessings upon the earth so that a few may enjoy a great abundance while others live in want. It is wrong for one to enjoy the feast and for another to endure the fast. The truest joy is that which springs from bringing joy to others. The truest gratitude is in that act which gives to others the opportunity for being grateful. The truest wealth is that which kindness stores up in the heart of the sorrowing and suffering. Our neblest acquisitions live only in our charity. Attitude of Y. M. C. A. Causes Heated Discussion. DR. A. J.

Wilber Messer, secretary of the Central Young Men's Christian Association, in reference to the association's attitude toward the branch of the association composed of colored men. Dr. Carey's letter: Chicago, October, 1914. Mr. L. Wilbur Messer, Secretary, Central Y. M. C. A. Chicago: My Dear Sir-1 have been greatly interested in the controversy about the Y. M. C. A. ban on smoking, and my interest was intensified when I read in your signed explanation of the new rule which was published in the Chicago Tribune, the statement that the "test" of membership in the Young Men's Christian association is good moral character. It is a sure witness of what we have heard concerning the Y. M. C. A. I have been told by young men of unimpeachable character that they have been refused membership in the Y. M. C. A. simply on account of color. I also know of the establishment in various parts of the country, including our own city of Chicago, of branch Y. M. C. A.'s for the purpose of providing for the men of date, blood, separating them from fellow human beings if they were lepers and unfit to mingle with Caucasians, Indians, Mongolians and Malays, who are gladly received into the Central Y. M. C. A. I have also heard that any human being who is the member of any branch Y. M. C. A. has certain rights and is cordially received at the central organization unless he happens to have a job. If I have been misinformed regarding conditions I desire to be set right, and I also trust you will kindly answer the questions I shall ask. If a German, I mean an alien, who has not been naturalized, desired to become a member of the Central Y. M. C. A. would he be permitted to do so or would he be compelled to connect himself with the German, regardless of his ability to matter? If a colored man living in the downtown district desired to become a member of the Central Y. M. C. A. could he do so, or would the authorities compel him to waste an hour to go four miles to the colored branch on Wabash avenue and Thirty-eighth street? Are the rights of the colored men who are members of the colored branch, Y. M. C. A., identical with those of members of other branches? Are they as cordially received at the Central building on Lasalle street and treated with the same consideration as other nationalities? Are there branches of the Central Y. M. C. A. organized Indian, Mongolian and Dalay tribes? Are not branches organized for the various European nationalities chiefly on account of difference in languages? If so, why must the necessity to provide a separate building for colored men, of whom 99 per cent are American born and who speak the English language? Admitting that many colored men really believe that the separate organization on Wabash avenue is a power for good, that it is better to have such a branch than not to be admitted at all and that many colored men are glad to meet and mingle with others of color, not a color that caste caused the organization of the branch, and is it not un-Christian (if it is done) to bar the few colored men who may find it convenient to become members of the Central Y. M. C. A. or branches located nearer their residences than the colored branches? I read with great interest the letters you sent back to the Chicago papers while you were more interested in the letter, published on March 31, 1914, you give a summary of your impressions and conviction of your study and travel in India and you speak of "caste," which is described as "the most disastrous and blighting of human institutions." You say that the Christian church has 3,000,000 converts in India and that its mission is to break down caste, and with their hearts to the gossphair of Christian brotherhood. If caste is a "disastrous and blighting institution" in India and one which the Y. M. C. A. is trying to break up, why does the Y. M. C. A. uphold and perpetuate a system of caste in the United States? In spite of the fact that many colored people favor separate Y. M. C. A.'s and contribute to their support, does not such separation eventually work to the injury of the Afro-American people? Is not the Y. M. C. A. a semipublic institution, and is not the existence of a separate branch for a class of people who were born in America and speak English, guage of the country to credit to democracy, and ought it not to cause a blow to the existence of American Christianity? It is not a fact that the existence of a color line in the Y. M. C. A. is often used as a justification for segregation in public places and public institutions? Does it not finally lead to injustice in every relation of life, to residential segregation, to disfranchisement and the denial of every civil right? Does it not tend to make the Afro-Americans a parish class shunned and oppressed by the majority, in the slightest difference in the treatment of the various races and nationalities by the Central Y. M. C. has the organization the right to use Christian as a part of its title? Now, after fifty years, in face of the marvelous progress of the Afro-American people, is it possible that we can encourage the perpetuation of that "most disastrous and blighting institution"—caste? The A. M. E. church of which I am a member was organized as a protest against Jimcrowism. Because the Caucasian American Christians (2) of a hundred years ago discriminated against their own identity into being, but we do not discriminate against the people of any race or nationality. The white man, the black man, the red man, the yellow man and the brown man are all welcomed, and it may surprise you when I state that thousands of Caucasians, both men and women, are members of the African Methodist Episcopal church. I am seeking the light and the truth. Please answer my questions carefully, and if I have erred in any statement I desire to be corrected. You sincerely. A. J.

It is a sad case to think of. Christmas Sermon In Words of One Syllable. An innovation in sermons is the one delivered by the Rev. A. Smythe Palmer, M. A., D. D., vicar of Holy Trinity church, Wanstead, England, on the birth of Christ. This sermon is entirely in words of one syllable. HE speaks the mind of God who tells us and would have us know what God thinks, for if it were not for him, we could not know at all. "God did so love the world that he gave his own, one Son, to be born at this time for us, to the end that all who trust in him should not die, but have the life which lasts for aye." He came and "dwell with us" on earth that men might see with their own eyes at least one pure life, lived free from sin. He was made "flesh of our flesh" and "bone of our bone." "God with us" in truth, but man no less, true man and true God—a child like one of our own. That is the strange thing, so deep that no man, wise as he may be, can quite take it in. He was to be "God with us," but at the same time "a worm and no man"—less than a man in the grief and pain and scorn which he bore. The texts take our thoughts back to the birth of this day. It is a birthday for the whole world to keep. All men can say: "To us this child is born; to us God gave this son of his love. I have my share in it." And so we are all glad of heart and make our church gay with plants and flowers and sing our hymns of joy and keep the feast with gifts and good fare. It is the birth day of all our hopes. Now, it was good news of great joy that the host from on high brought to the herds who kept watch on their sheep in the fields. And it is still so. For us, as much as for them, was born in that small town one strong to save. "Which is Christ the Lord." It is old news now, and I fear it fails on our dull, cold hearts like some old tale of long past time which has lost its charm. Oh, let us not shut our ears to it as some of those first men did! When he came to his own his own would not take him in. They said, "There is no room for him here"—no room in the inn when he came to it. It was not an inn, you must know, like one of ours, but a mere bare court where those on the road might rest—a "khan" they call it in the east. Does it not seem to us a sad and a strange sight that a young babe should be shut out in the cold night—God in want of house room? A poor place, at best, as rude and rough as we can well think, and, such as it was, quite full with the crowd who had come first. The host of the inn sends them off. He tells them there is a cave at the back of the inn where the beasts are kept; they may find rest there, if they will. That cave, where the birth of all time took place, is still shown in the rock. A great church built there marks the spot. Then, poor, mean and cold, it was the best place he could find to lay his head. "The fox has his hole and the bird of the air her nest, but the Son of Man bath not where to lay his head." So, in that cave in the rock, the stall of the ox and the ass, in the crib out of which they ate their hay, the newborn babe was laid. Just think what all this means—God made flesh. God born as man in this world of ours, that he might find a way to bring back man to God! He hid his might, and men hid their face from him. None but the heds who kept their sheep saw or knew of it till they fell to the ground in a great blaze of light, and a host of bright ones in the sky sang such a song as no choir on earth has sung, which gave praise to God on high, "and on earth peace, good will to men." Those herds had faith to go and seek the child of whom they were told. They found him in the crib, and they saw more than their eyes could see. They knew that in that weak child was the power of God to save. And so these good men, when they had bow'd down, went back to their flock, struck with awe, and "gave praise to God for all they had heard and seen." Shall we do less? Shall we not, too, go home and give thanks on our part, with joy for what we have heard? And in all our joy let us find room for the one guest who should not be left out— room in our hearts for him whose word is life WESTERN LIFE and ACCIDENT COMPANY Some of the claims and dividends paid in Denver during the past few days: Inez M.

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