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 THE PRESIDENT ON SEGREGATION. WHAT THE LEADING JOURNALS ARE SAYING. TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 63 THE PRESIDENT WHAT THE LEADING The New York Evening Post says: Nov'13, 1914—Bad manners are bound to hurt even a good cause, and the last place where disrespect is to be tolerated is the White House. If William Monroe Trotter was insolent to Mr. Wilson yesterday, he has impaired his advocacy of the rights of the colored people and hurt them as well. But Mr. Wilson, we feel, should make allowances, not perhaps for the hasty temper of a man whose passionate desire for justice for his race often leads him astray, but because of the genuine wrongs of which Mr. Trotter complains. It is a sad blot upon the Wilson Administration that it has tolerated, nay, drawn the color line, without real cause, save, as Mr. Trotter Truthfully put it, the racial antipathies of Messrs, Burleson, John Skelton Williams, and McAdoo. For an Administration which talks about a New Freedom and boasts of having bestowed a new liberty upon business men, not only to be blind to the wrongs of full ten millions of American citizens, but to add to them is truly discouraging. Mr. Wilson can feel keenly for the governmental wrongs of the "submerged 85 per cent." of the people of Mexico, of whom so many are Indians and of a mixed parentage, but he has yet to say a really sympathetic word about the wrongs of the millions in the South who are without, voice in their own government. The difficulty lies, of course, in putting yourself in the other fellow's place, in having some appreciation of what it means to be the victim of prejudice and injustice, to be wronged without the power to remedy the wrong. That Mr. Wilson is unable to visualize this is, we repeat, the more disappointing because there are so many injured persons with whom he does sympathize so understandingly. His unusual vision and imagination leave him, however, when it comes to the disfranchisement of women and permitting his subordinates to inflict indignities upon American citizens in the immediate vicinity of the White House. If he could only be one of the submerged 10 per cent. of our people in Washington for forty-eight hours he could never have palliated the wrong done, as he is reported to have yesterday, by saying that segregation was enforced for the comfort and best interests of both races, in order to overcome friction. He would know then that it makes neither for the comfort nor for the best interests of the races, but invariably leads to added friction and creates deep and lasting unhappiness among the segregated. This problem has vexed him and caused him heartache more than once in his Administration, and it will not cease to plague him until he lays down the law that sets up equality of treatment of all employees in the Government service. Again, Mr. Wilson is reported to have resented Mr. Troter's statement that if this discrimination were not ended, the negroes who voted for him would vote the Republican ticket and to have declared that this was "political blackmail." But this is the time-honored American way of showing disapproval of an elective official's conduct. When Mr. Wilson was a candidate for President in 1912, he declared; "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for ABSOLUTE FAIR DEALING and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interest of their race in the United States." On the strength of this many colored people and their white friends advocated Mr. Wilson's cause, who would rather have cut off their hands than have aided Mr. Wilson if they had known that he was intending to draw the color line in the departments upon the excuse that there is a certain point in the relations of the races where friction must occur. To them that is neither absolute fair dealing nor advancing their cause, but putting it back, because it sets the stamp of governmental approval upon color prejudice. To expect after this that the problem can be kept out of politics, as Mr. Wilson is quoted as urging, is to expect the impossible. With Mr. Wilson's feelings as to the ultimate solution of the negro problem, we are not today concerned. He may or may not have a constructive programme to suggest. The issue is simply whether a hateful East Indian caste shall be established in Washington or not. We had supposed, after the investigations of last winter, that the vicious policy had been checked; we understood that it was to be abandoned gradually. In numerous instances the Jim-Crowing had, we know, been stopped. The more discouraging is it to find the President apparently upholding what the World justly calls the "foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet." There was no genuine complaint as to the conditions in Washington. Colored and white employees had worked side by DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 28, 1914 side for fifty years. Some of them had been appointed by Grover Cleveland—one of his appointees to high places being the father of Mr. Trotter, a veteran of the Fifty fifth Massachusetts. But the Wilson Administration went out of its way to create the issue it now deplores, and cannot see its way clear to admitting its mistake and reverting to the only defensible position of absolute equality in the Government service. The way to deal with race prejudice in such matters is not to enhance it by yielding, but resolutely to confront it with a refusal to give in. It is suprising how often prejudice fades away in a given situation when it finds itself wholly blocked. It is even more suprising how frequently it is merely a state of mind. Often there is no objection whatever to the presence of colored people on the most familiar terms, provided their position is clearly stamped as menial; let them suddenly aspire to equal privileges, and those same people become at once too offensive to be permitted to breathe the same atm sphere. The situation in Washington would be restored in a twinkling to the old and absolutely satisfactory status if the highest authority were simply to lay down the law that there was going to be a square deal for everybody in the departments without the slightest discrimination; that there can be only one class of public servants—all to be treated with courtesy, consideration and absolute justice. New York World of the same date under the editorial caption "No Jim Crow Government" says: "The bad manners of the Chairman of the delegation, however deplorable, are no justification of the policy of Jim Crow government which certain members of the Cabinet have established in their departments; and, as the President well knows, insolent conduct is not confined to the members of any particular race. The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying their color-line theories into democratic government. The President failed to explain, nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered necessary until Mr. Burleson and Nr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet. For nearly half a century white clerks and Negro clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington under Republican and Democratic Presidents. The World keeps itself fairly well informed about Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. McAdoo began his Jim-Crow proceedings in the Treasury Department. The President thinks this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating and unAmerican in government is certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States Government are servants of the United States regardless of race or color. While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few Southern members of the Cabinet have been allowed to exploit their petty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact justice. Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation rule was promulgated as a deliberate discrimination against Negro employees. Worse still, it is a small mean, petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow government the moment it was established. He ought to set his heel upon it now. It is a reproach to his administration and to the great political principles which he represents. New York World, Nov. 13. The New York Sun contained a few lines scribbled by some member of its staff who is not yet "emancipated" or by some pinhead who thought it a chance to be flippant: The scrib reads as follows: "The man and brother ought to behave himself civilly when he is allowed to present his grievances to the President of the United States in person; but the President of the United States would not have been subjected to any annoyance on Thursday if the visitors who abused his good nature had been deflected to the janitorial personage, whoever he may be, in whose province their business belonged." Every decent man on the Sun's staff ought to feel ashamed on reading those lines. If the Sun favors the administration's segregation policy it should have spoken out and said so or kept silent. To cast such a shallow slur upon a matter that vitally interests ten million citizens of the country and their friends is beneath what is to be expected of a great newspaper The Age. Denver News, Nov. 24, 1914 thoughtfully considers in its editorial: "The personality of Woodrow Wilson comes up for discussion again this week through the interesting newspaper comment on the president's conduct in angrily dismissing the delegation of Negroes which called upon him to protest against the administration's policy of "segregating"blacks from whites in the government departments at Washington. The discussion of the segregation issue is interesting enough in itself, but the view taken of the oresident's conduct is even more interesting. There is a very considerable section of the press—William Allen White's Emporia Gazette among other papers—which approves without further analysis the President's rebuke to Chairman Trotter as one who had "talked to me as no other man has done since I assumed the presidency." These journals see in the incident an insult to the presidency and let it go at that, without further analysis. This is, perhaps, the prevailing view. But others see farther into the incident. The Boston Advertiser, for instance, says: We took occasion to say yesterday that we believed that the President was absolutely right in his protest against any show of discourtesy on the part of the Boston delegation of colored men who called upon him. If there was any intentional discourtesy, also, we believe that the president will be fully justified in excluding from the White House hereafter any man guilty of such an insult to the president's high office, which in itself justly and rightfully demands honor from every loyal American. That much being said, we hope that this unfortunate incident will not distract public attention to much from the purpose of the delegates who visited the president. Those men went from a feeling of justifiable indignation—fully as justifiable as that shown by the president. The president's rightful and proper protest concerned the insult to himself. His visitors' rightful and just protest had to do with a wrong to an entire race of Americans. While the Philadelphia Press remarks: There is nothing in Mr. Trotter's remarks as reported which discloses any ground for the president's resentment. Possibly the speaker's manner may have been to earnest, positive and aggressive to suit the president. He turned on him as he once before turned on the woman suffrage delegation whose assertions and arguments were not to his taste and drove the president into making the absurd statement that he was not at liberty to approve woman suffrage because it had no place in the national Democratic platform. The Hartford Courant says, reminiscently; It is odd, when you come to think of it, that President Wilson did not recall the Negroes of this country when his heart began to be moved for the "submerged 85 per cent" of the people of Mexico Advertise the Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPE. And the Des Moines Register even goes so far as to declare: The president was not speaking frankly with the Negro leaders, and he fully deserved the rebuke he received from them. To us the incident is discouraging in that it is another set back to our effort to believe that the president's feelings are as "right" as are his intellectual ideals. It seems to us that Lincoln never would have so treated a delegation of Negroes, and that at the same time he would have seen to it that the high office of the presidency took no insult. A man whose heart as well as his mind was really concerned in "the sudmerged 85 percent" would have been more kind, more forgiving, more gentle. It is just this quality of "unfeelingness" that is going to make most difficult any effort to turn the Progressive party to the support of Mr. Wilson. This attempt is now a distinct possibility. It may eventually succeed, if Republicanism is blind enough to try to re-create itself in the image of Penrose and reaction. But it will be hampered all along the line by the fact that Mr. Wilson, while expecting and receiving Progressive support in the past, has treated Progressives with cold contempt and distrust. The Chicago Tribune of Nov. 14, critically remarks:— By giving his opinion officially even if not publicly, Mr. Wilson put the head of the government in the position of denying the principles of the government and his situation was awkward and not pleasant. President Wilson came very nearly establishing a national program of treatment to be given the negro when he defended segregation. If that step is to be taken it certainly is a serious one and the President would be in better position if he were representing national rather than sectional sentiments. We are not ready to concede that any body of citizens has less standing under the law than any other. It is true but to admit it officially is offensive. The President could have avoided the interview and that was the only sensible thing he could have done. If the South wishes to make any such issue as this it will find that the North, where prejudice is violent, is nevertheless restless when as a part of the nation it is asked to declare that the main principle of the nation is a piece of hypocrisy and does nor apply where it is inconvenient. The New York News has established a bureau of prominent colored women of New York who are interested in social uplift effort. The obof the bureau is to raise a fund to provide Christmas gifts for Harlem's poor and unfortunate. Church News --- SCOTT METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 803 26TH AVE. REV. D. SMITH, PASTOR.

President Wilson's attitude toward constructive work among colored people is admirably shown in his very recent letter to Major Robert R. Moton, president of the Negro Organization society of Virginia. The letter was read at the Norfolk meeting of the society. President Wilson said: "I have been very much interested in the accounts I have heard of the work you are attempting to do through the instrumentality of the Negro Organization society and feel that you are to be especially congratulated on the deep interest which has been manifested by the white people of Virginia and the south in the plans now maturing for the bettermeht of conditions among the Negro people. "I think one of the happiest circumstances of recent times is this co-operation between the white people and the Negroes in the south in intelligent efforts to advance the economic success and comfort of the Negroes and put them in a position where they can work out their own fortunes with success and self respect. "I wish I might attend the meeting at Norfolk in person, in order to express my interest and sympathy, but I cannot. I hope you will feel at liberty to read this letter to the meeting. Sincerely yours, "WOODROW WILSON." Bright Outlook For Our Business Men Mr. C. A. Stark in an open letter addressed to the Kansas City (Kan) local business league recently says "The business outlook for the Negro is great. To the wide awake the light of truth sheds its rays over the horizon of the business world and opens to him possibilities never discovered before, but across this favorable sky emblazoned in bold, stern reading is this one command. Work! What the Negro Business league wants to accomplish is more customers and patrons for the business conducted by its members. Cleanliness is economy; dirt is wastefulness. Order invites business and trade. Disorder repulses both." New Business Enterprise For Women. The promoters of the School For Floral Designing are very much encouraged over the outlook for that unique enterprise in Chicago, which is the only undertaking of its kind among the women of our race known thus far. The new enterprise will be a boon to the young women and public school misses who may desire to learn the art of making floral designs. THE BLAZING YULE LOG. It Holds Precedence Over the Christmas Tree In England. The Christmas tree was rarely seen in England until made popular by the German husband of Queen Victoria, and, while it is universal there at the present time, it is the Yule log and the mistletoe that hold the center of attraction. Long before England became a Christian country the Yule log was burned in honor of a pagan delity at the winter solstice, and the infectious spirit of cheer and good will which prevailed at that time survived when Christianity spread abroad. The festivities in England begin with the lighting of the Yule log on Christmas eve. In many parts of the country the whole family, including servants, gather about the hearth and "beguile the long evening with rural games, legendary jokes and oft told Christmas tales." One of the oldest customs observed in England is the singing of Christmas carols from house to house by Christmas carolers. Some of the carols sung today are at least 400 years old. Christmas Bells. I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old, familiar-carols play And, wild and sweet. The words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men! —Longfellow. CHURCH DIRECTORY.

Boston—The old plantation songs, "My Old Kentucky Home," "Oh, Susannah," "Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground," are insults to the colored race, according to speakers, both colored and white, who appeared today at a hearing before the school committee. As a result of their protest, the committee voted immediately to withdraw from the schools a book of forty songs recently compiled by the musical director. The objection to the songs are based partly on the use of the words "nigger," darkey," and "coon."

TROTTER'S STATEMENT Spokesman For League Says He Treated President Respectfully. Boston.—In justice to William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, and for the benefit of the general public we print the following personal statement of Mr. Trotter, whose remarks on segregation in the government departments at Washington stirred President Wilson at a hearing in the White House on Nov. 12. Mr. Trotter emphatically denies that he said anything offensive to the president in his speech nor included anything offensive in his manner while addressing President Wilson. Editor Trotter says: "As we left the president," said Mr. Trotter. "I told him I was very sorry if he still considered that I had offended him. The president smiled and said, 'Oh, we'll call it all right.'" "When we came out our delegation caucused in Secretary Tumulty's room as to what we should say for the newspapers. I told the newspaper men briefly about the conference, merely describing it as a warm affair. "I had gone outside the White House when Mr. Tumulty called me back and said, 'Mr. Trotter, you have violated every courtesy of the White House in quoting the president to the press.'" "I told Mr. Tumulty that I had done so in ignorance of the rules and apologized. He accepted my apology. Then I asked the newspaper men not to publish what I told them, and they consented. Mr. Tumulty said he was satisfied and I left. "The report of the conference was then given out from the White House. It seems very peculiar to me, after the president had told me everything was all right, that a White House statement should say that I had offended the president of the United States." Mr. Trotter and other members of the Negro delegation were representatives of the National Independent Equal Rights league. He declared letters were awaiting him in his office from Negroes in all parts of the country approving everything he said at the White House. He also said that other members of the delegation, whose attitude was satisfactory to the president, have fully indorsed his part in the proceedings. "I want to say," he continued, "that neither in manner, language, tone nor in any other way was I discourteous, impertinent or insolent to President Wilson. "My whole attitude was that of endeavoring, on the spur of the moment, to answer a piece of masterful sophistry and to refute it successfully, and, feeling a great responsibility to do so. I spoke with positiveness, deliberateness and directness, looking the president full in the eye. "I did not quiz or catechize the president, and I did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty did not come until the president had been permitted to declare for segregation of my race and to say that I should regard it as a benevolence and so represent it to my race. "Although it was a trying ordeal to listen to such a statement at length by the chief executive of the nation, I had at no time any temper, much less lost my temper. The league considers that the president has indicated, if not brought about, a crisis in this republic. It wishes all Americans to note the fact that for the first time in the country's history a president, speaking within the White House, has announced class distinction among citizens, based on ancestry, as an administration policy." Mr. Trotter says that segregation was drastically introduced in the treasury and postoffice departments soon after the administration came in and was therefore not due to race friction; but must be due to the racial prejudices of John Skelton Williams, Secretary McAdoo and Postmaster General Burleson; that the president declared if the league were ever to have another audience with him there must be another spokesman. "I asked the president how I had offended him," said Mr. Trotter. "He answered, 'By your tone.' "I asked in what way, and he said, 'By its background of passion.'" Mr. Trotter declared he was thunderstruck and appealed to the president, saying it was doing him an injustice. The president frequently interrupted him later, Mr. Trotter said, saying once, "Leave personalities out of it," and again, "I am the one to do the interrupting." 1319 EAST PINE STREET SEATTLE, WASH.

BIG INCREASE IN NUMBERS. Reports at Educational and Missionary Gathering Show Remarkable Work of the Denomination Along Many Lines of Endeavor—Notable Career of the Rev. Dr. Richard Spiller. By GEORGE F. KING Wilmington, N. C.—That the Afro-American Baptists of North Carolina are making splendid progress in their activities for the uplift of the race was strikingly demonstrated at the recent meeting of the great Baptist educational and missionary convention of this state, held at Hamlet, Dr. A. W. Pegues, president; Dr. C. S. Brown, corresponding secretary; Dr E. E. Smith, secretary. The progress made by this denomination within recent years has been phenomenal. The Baptists number over 200,000 communicants in this state. They are supporting over twenty secondary high schools and academies. The Baptist ministerial state organization was presided over by the Rev. R. Spiller, LL. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church of this city, as pres- P. REV. DR. RICHARD SPILLER. ident. He is among the recent accessions to the Baptist ministry of this state. He has pastored at Edenton, Concord and his present charge, and at each place his work has been very profitable to the people. No man has done more for the material, intellectual, moral and religious uplift of the people than he in the respective communities in which he has resided. His first charge was Bristol. Tenn.. where he was also principal of the public school. His next charge was the Bank Street Baptist church in Norfolk. Va., which he acceptably filled for nine years, during which time 000 persons were baptized into the fellowship of the church, a large church debt was canceled and $2,000 was left in the treasury of the church. The Calvary Baptist church of Norfolk. Va., was organized by him as a mission. It now has one of the largest congregations in the south. The Queen Street Baptist church in Norfolk was organized by him with three members. He pastored this church for about four years, purchased the building lot at a cost of $3,500 and erected a church building for $4,000. In 1878 Dr. Spiller resigned the pastoral charge of the Queen Street church and accepted the call to the First Baptist church, Hampton, Va., where he labored successfully for seventeen years. He canceled a mortgage debt of $3,000, completed the building and baptized more than 1,000 into the fellowship of the church. He organized the People's Building and Loan association of Hampton and presided as president of it for fifteen years, during which time more than 200 houses were built for our people, besides lifting a number of mortgages. This has grown to be the strongest local organization among our people. He also founded the Spiller academy, out of which grew the Tidewater institute that is now located in Northhampton county, Va. He was instrumental in bringing into existence the Hampton Supply company that was successfully operated in the city of Hampton, with Mr. F. B. Banks as manager. He organized the Building and Loan association of the city of Newport News, Va., which is still in operation and is being managed by the Hon. J. T. Newsome. In North Carolina he organized the Twin City Building and Loan association of Winston-Salem, and he is a friend of Professor Atkinson, president of Slater institute. He is also interested in the Workingmen's Building and Loan as association of Wilmington, N.C., of which Dr. F. W. Avant is president. Dr. Spiller is a man of influence, push and energy, and as a thinker, preacher and pastor he has but few equals. He has graced some of the leading pulpits in this country of both races. The leading Baptist paper of Virginia, the Religious Herald, says, "Rev. Dr. Spiller, educated by Dr. Corey, is probably the ablest colored minister in the state." Dr. Spiller offered the resolution which brought into existence the Virginia seminary *Lynchburg, Va. GEMS FROM MAJOR MOTON'S ADDRESS AT NORFOLK, VA. Robert R. Moton, president of the Negro Organization society and commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, said: "Our people are co-operating as never before in helping toward better schools, better health, better homes, better farms. I wish to emphasize the need of better homes for colored people. Many successful Negroes, especially in the country districts, have neglected the most essential element in their development. Many of them have good farms and good horses, but live in miserable shacks. This condition must be changed if we are to get the highest benefits of this civilization. "I want to thank our white friends for the cordial support and backing which they have given this movement. The state board of education, through its efficient superintendent, Mr. R. C. Stearnes, and the state board of health, through Dr. Ennion G. Williams, Dr. Roy K. Flannagan and others, have given their cordial co-operation. Mrs. B. B. Munford said last year that she thought the best way for the white people to help the colored people in Virginia was for the white people to believe in colored people. The best way for the colored people to help the white people is for the colored people to believe in the other race. We are believing in each other. "One of the greatest achievements of the Negro Organization society is the spirit of co-operation which it has stimulated between black man and white man and which we can and must maintain. This we can do by faithful and efficient service wherever that service may be, whether in the kitchen, on the farm, in the shop, in the school-room or in the pulpit. "We can be assured that efficient and faithful service will be rewarded in the fullest measure. To my mind this is the surest way to the solution of the race problem and a wholesome and happy adjustment of the great human problem that faces the black man and the white man here in Virginia, as well as throughout our country and the world." --- RACIAL ANTIPATHY AND THE EUROPEAN CONFLICT. Oswald Garrison Villard's Question and Dr. Jacques Loeb's Opinion. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Evening Post, New York, and treasurer of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, asks this significant question, "Is racial antipathy a live issue or is it not?" Mr. Villard then quotes from Dr. Jacques Loeb, the famous scientist and professor in Columbia university, who, writing in the New Review on the European conflict, has this to say: "The mischief lies in the fact that the inhabitants of each country now seem to be convinced of their 'racial superiority' over the inhabitants of all other countries. The danger lying in the fetish of racial antipathy and racial superiority is assuming threatening dimensions in this country. "It is a matter of no small concern that the labor unions refuse to work side by side with Asiatics or Negroes, giving as an excuse racial antipathy; whereas the principle of brotherhood would demand that they should work with them, influence them, educate them if necessary, and in this process learn to respect them." Mr. Villard says other causes have many champions, the cause of those who suffer from race prejudice but one—the national association which is pledged to an unqualified program of industrial, political and civil rights for all men, regardless of race or creed. "We have attacked the Negro problem first, because that is the most pressing in the United States," he said "Like other societies, we are struggling hard to weather these times of finance* depression. During the past month colored people have contributed generously of their slender means. This is an encouragement to their friends to endeavor to keep alive the one organization which is their fearless champion." Coal Company Started in Barclay, Ill. Several energetic men of the race in Barclay, Ill., have recently bought a coal mine and put it in operation. They have perfected an organization and had it incorporated under the laws of the state. Barclay is a thriving town about ten miles from Springfield. The company will have a large number of employees, and the plant will be fully worked with the most modern devices for handling the output. This is a sign of real progress in a field which affords room for large possi bilities. The Texas Commercial Film Company. The Texas Commercial Film company of Houston. Tex., is endeavoring to enlist the financial co-operation of the leading colored men of that community in a project to produce a three reel film depicting the progress of the Negro race in that section of Texas.

Thanksgiving Day was observed at the churches as usual and a large union service, the first for some time, was, held at Campbell church, where all of the congregations met and in due reverence and thankfulness gave obesiance to God for sparing thelr lives, provision for food, raiment, shel- ter and good health and the beautiful weather given us so bountifully by our Heavenly Father. This spirit was earnestly shown in various ways, some people made their joy manifested through playing football, duck and geese hunting, others danced, tripping the light fantastic toe artistically, while still others attended the church entertainments at night. The aged, the sick, crippled and poor of the com- munity were carefully and tenderly looked after with good wholesome hot dinners generously given by the churches and other charitable organi- zations. The Union Service at Camp- bell in which all the churches perform- ed their part was one of the most grateful things the Star was not only proud of, but inspired by, as well as by the united manner and good fel- lowship shown by the city pastors. Denver did her part in paying her re- aspects to Thanksgiving Day. | LOOK WELL. DEARFIELD. LISTEN CAREFULLY. A word of warning has been given the settlers about signing papers and leases, etc., and for water rights, and it geems that some have not accepted the warning because a thought they were wise enough to defy the laws of the national government, which have made it possible for them to secure a home for themselves for a mere pit- tance in cash and by compliance with its laws for residence, cultivation, im- provements. Several have taken up homesteads and some have proved up in Dearfield, and have leased their lands to cattle- men to the annoyance of others who have honest intentions of homestead- ing in compliance with all of the gov- ernment laws. Some of those who have leased their lands are now in trouble over their leases as they say that the lease they signed was not made out as they had talked and agreed and they come to me now to help them. My advice to all home- steaders, whether in Dearfield or else- where has been to employ an attorney and to sign nothing pertaining to their homesteads without consulting their attorney and then fellow his advice. I am not an attorney and would not as- sume the responsibility of advising anyone concerning legal contracts and always consult my attorney in all le gal matters of my homestead rights. Anyone can locate people upon land, but the one locating can not hold you upon the land. After locating, your obligations are between yourself and the national government. Uncle Sam does not ercuse ignorance of his laws. Those who have made leases in bad faith of the government laws can not blame anyone but themselves if they are contested and their claims can- celed because I have repeatedly warned them against signing for water rights and leasing to cattle companies, etc, without first consulting the land office or their attorney. One man leased his claim to a cattle company for five years for the mere sum of $12.50 per year with the understanding that the cattle company would put a fence all around his property, when the lease was signed. Since he has signed and read his contract he 1s dis- satisfied and wants to go back on his agreement in favor of the cattle man, but he hag proven up and has his pat- ent and is Hable for his contract. The others are/only Hable to lose their homesteads as they can't prove up with that lease upon the land, as they have no right to lease lands that do not belong to them and Uncle Sam em- ploys his own agents to lease his lands. It is to be hoped that others in the settlement will profit by the ex- perience of those who have defied the land Isws and employ an attorney be- fore signing papers and contracts that obligate their homestead rights. 0.

Commenting on the conditions which confront the colored people in all sec: tions of the country in thelr efforts to make progress, Major Robert R. Moton of the Hampton (Va.) institute says: “Bven the casual observer must see that there is growing a spirit of req! 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 unfons are seeing more and more the necessity for a closer unton of the various class- es of skilled workers, and this feeling will continue to grow as men become potter trained, better educated and Christians. “In educational matters also there 1x a growing sympathy and spirit of co- operation between the races. The Ne- gro is calling on school officials for a fair and equitable distribution of school funds, Betas for better schools, longer te! better pay for teachers and better equipment. In many cases the Negroes out of their own earnings are buying land for the schools, often putting up the school- houses. “Sometimes they supplement the pay of the teacher, this generally 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.” Knights of Pythias to Erect New Hall.

To stimulate u desire for better schools and better health in rural dis tricts, to help the people raise money for the improvement of their schools, to commit our people to the policy -of self help, to impress upon them’ tho value of fresh air and to co-operate with the best white people—these have been some of the wise aims and direct results of the organization soctety. In a “cleanup week” campaign that was undertaken in the interest of pub- lic health, over 6,000 families in four teen counties worked with county com- mitteemen to Improve their homes, churches and schools. During the spring cleanup week fully 150,000 col ored people joined in getting rid of waste and dirt. ‘The society has enlisted the co-opera- tion of thousands in the better care of their personal health and in the {m- provement of community life. Through- out Virginia white public officials. newspapers and prominent citizens have heartily indorsed the work of Robert R.Moton and his associates and have in many cases been actively engaged in co-operating with the able race leaders, , White People Show Much Interest. ‘The Norfolk armory, where the meet- ings were held, was crowded to its Mmit.

Consequently there are a goodly number of colored farm- ers who own thriving ranches that net them a considerable income, says Eloise Bibb Thompeon in the Los An- geles Tribune. There are also janitors, carpenters, brickmasons, furniture dealers, grocery dealers and one real estate agent. The latter, R. C. Patton, is said to be doing a thriving business, having offices in ‘Watts, Los Angeles and in Chicago. ‘There is also a foundry owned by John Davis, who molds hinges for bungalow doors. Mr. Davis is also an inventor, having recently got out a patent on plumbing rings. ‘The largest colored dealer in new and secondhand furniture, James Seals, {s found on Main street, opposite the city hall. Mr. Seals came to Califor. nia about ten years ago with little or no capital. His energy and persistence }are shown in the fact that be now owns the building in which his store is located and has increased his stock from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars and built up his busi- ness to such an extent that hired as- sistance is needed. ‘The local banks are also patronized by the colored people of Watts, most of whom own their own homes, and a few have valuable holdings, in Los Angeles in localities where real estate ls rapidly growing in value These people support two churches and are erecting a third, which promises to do edit to their prosperous appearance. "The Watts Independent league ia com- posed of thirty-five colored men, who organized for the purpose of looking after the municipal, political and so- cal interests of their neighbors. These men, all of whom are property owners, contribute largely to local charities, giving to both individuals and institu- tlous. . ‘The colored youth of Watts are found in the Compton high school, where they remain for the most part until they have completed the required course of study. Likewise the people of Boyle Heights are worthy of consideration. Boyle Heights, a part of Los Angeles, was Iaid out by George Hansen almost a century after the founding of the city of Los Angeles by the Spaniards. It was named after an Irishman, An- drew Boyle, who owned a great por- tion of that locality, which he planted to grapes, building up in time a suc- cessful wine business, Twenty years after the formation of Boyle Heights the colored people began to take up residence there, very few at first, gradually increasing as time passed until the northeast section was almost wholly inhabited by them, as it is at present.

Christmas "waits," those bands of singers familiar in England for several centuries, have been less numerous in recent years, but the custom, with certain variations, is gaining ground in the United States. The municipal Christmas trees which will mark the great holiday in many towns and cities this year will have the singing of Christmas carols and anthems as a part of the exercises in connection with the trees. The town of Burlington, N. J., has kept up the custom of the waits since colonial days. Each Christmas eve a band of vocalists, recruited from the choir of St. Mary's Episcopal church, start an hour or so before midnight and sing carols and anthems in various sections of the city. They visit the homes of the rector, the curate and members of the vestry and sing before their doors. As these homes are situated in widely separated sections of the city, the singing is heard by practically all of the residents. Citizens of the town who may have retired early are usually aroused by the singing, and windows in upper floors are thrown open. As the singers move away after finishing the carols the listeners yell greetings to their neighbors, close their windows and return to their cozy beds In many of the houses before which the singers render concerts the occupants are expecting them, and they are invited in to partake of refreshments. They can finger but a little time, for they must cover their arranged route before the chiming of the church bells others in a new Christmas GIFT LADEN PINATAS. Unique Holiday Frolic Which Delight Children of Mexico. • About ten days before Christmas in the City of Mexico the puestos in the Calle de San Diego begin to grow festive with evergreens, flowers, bright berries and other greens brought in from the mountains by the palsanos to delight the eye and tempt the purses of the promenaders. In the booths of the neighboring Calle de San Juan are displayed fruits, de nuts and candies, and still others offer angels, shepherds, sheep, mules, oxen and other objects suggestive of the Saviour's birth. Probably the greatest attraction for the Mexican children are the pinatas. Peddlers may be seen sauntering along the streets carrying long poles which are strung with varicolored pinatas of every description, draped with tinsel. These represent flowers, fruits, animals and even men and women, and each contains a jar filled with goodies. They range in price from 25 centavos to several dollars, according to their degree of elaborateness. The pinata is suspended from the ceiling or hung in the courtyard. All the family gather around it. A child is blindfolded, turned around several times, then given a stick and told to find and break the pinata. If he falls after three trials to locate it he surrenders to the next in turn, and so on until a lucky blow shatters the pinata and the contents fall, to be scrambled for The real spirit of Christmas is giving not getting As you would the men do unto you do even so to them The world is taught the people who talk so much of them they can do and what they are to do that they never have to do in Christmas tide is a special opportunity for action Do You Know We Solicit Your Patronage The Keystone Cafe Phone Champa 3533 1857 Champa St. A New Dining Room now in connection with the Keystone Club.

Washington.—The plans for holding a big industrial exposition at Fort Lee, Va., for one month, beginning July 4, 1915, to show the progress of the race since 1865 have been fully mapped out. The exposition is to be held under the auspices of the Negro Exposition association, of which the Hon. Giles B. Jackson is president. It is the wish of the society to have President Wilson deliver an address on the opening day of the exposition. With this purpose in view a delegation of prominent men from various states called on President Wilson at the White House the first week in November and extended the invitation in person. Speaking for the delegation, President Giles B. Jackson in part said: "Mr. President, on behalf of the Negro Historical and Industrial association, a corporation, under whose auspices the exposition and celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation and achievement of the Negro will be held in Richmond in 1915, the committee now in your presence came to ask you to accept an invitation to visit the exposition some time during its existence, preferring if possible to have you visit it on the opening day, tentatively fixed at July 4. But in order to have your presence the day will be changed to suit your convenience. "On behalf of the colored people of the country, as far as this committee has authority to speak, we feel authorized to speak for them all on this occasion, they will esteem it the greatest favor that could be bestowed upon a struggling people to have your presence at the opening of this exposition. It would indeed stimulate and encourage them to know that the chief executive of the nation will come at the time and place where they are trying to show the marvelous progress made by them in the last fifty years and to bear fall from his lips words of encouragement to press forward in the future Phone Main 8407 C.

"They feel that since your inauguration you have not had the opportunity nor occasion to speak to a race whose position in the nation is so different from others, and this will be the opportune time for you to say a word of encouragement to the Negro race, which constitutes 12 per cent of the nation over which you so justly and satisfactorily preside. A large per cent of this race resides in the south, where their relations are different from those who reside in other sections of the country, and who are solving their own problems with the assistance of their white neighbors who reside with them in the southland. "Should you accept this invitation we will show you the product of the race, which will be astounding. We will have upon exhibition evidence of the thrift and progress of the race within fifty years, of which you and the nation you represent will be proud. You will have an opportunity to view the exhibits of the Negroes of this country, for which we believe you would commend them as having done what no other race could have done similarly situated and within that short period of time." It was pointed out to the president that the colored people of Virginia alone pay taxes on $24,000,000 worth of property and own school and church property to the value of $20,000,000, which is free from taxation. The accumulation in fifty years has been $54,000,000, or more than $1,000,000 a year. At the close of the appeal the president made a brief address, in which he told of his interest in the exposition and his desire to be present. He explained that he would be in the west for several months, and the uncertainties of politics made it impossible for him to give a definite answer. He said in part: "Your invitation is a most attractive one, but I can make no definite promise so far ahead. If nothing turns up to prevent I certainly shall be there I hope to be with you on the opening day or some other time, for I am sincerely interested in the object of the exposition, and it is my earnest wish to attend it." The committee which waited upon the president was composed of colored men from many walks of life, but who are true representatives of the best of the race. Among those present were Theodore W. Jones, Chicago, former member of Cook county commission; Ernest Lyon, former minister to Liberia and now representative of that country to the United States; Judson W. Lyons of Georgia, former registrar of the treasury; Rev W. T. Hall, Philadelphia; Rev James E. Churchman Orange, N. J.; Walter H. Land, Norfolk; John W. Lewis, Washington, James H. Anderson of New York, editor of the Amsterdam News; Rev T. M. Mitchell of this city and C. H. William damson of Raleigh, N. C. Cherubim Lodge to Give Big Reception Cherubim lodge No. 6871. Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, is making great preparations for its ninth annual reception, to be held at Sumner hall, in Brooklyn, on Wednesday evening, Dec. 9. The various lodges of the order throughout Greater New York have been invited to take part in the program of festivities. There will be two exhibition drills, one by Patriarchie No. 22 of Odd Fellows and the other by Eureka company No. 7 uniform rank-of Knights of Pythias. Members of other secret orders have also been invited to attend this reception in a body. CASE WITHOUT PRECEDENT. W. R. Stewart Moves Admission of E. J. Anderson to Highest Court. 3. Anderson to Highest Court. Quite a stir seems to have been created in legal circles at Washington, Oct. 29 and 30, when Attorney William R Stewart of Youngstown, O., moved the admission to practice in the United States supreme court Lawyer Emil J Anderson, a fellow practitioner of the same town. Attorney Stewart was counsel for James Weish of Youngstown, who had a suit against the Erie railroad. Of course it was the first instance of its and in the history of the court, but being surprised at the ability of Counsel or Stewart was nothing new. The race can multiply such men of legal thought and standing many times.

Tad Lincoln wanted a Christmas gift such as perhaps no other president's son ever wanted before or since. "Father," said Tad, "there is something I'd like for Christmas, if you'll give it to me." As the son asked the question his father looked at the boy over the rims of his spectacles in a grave way and asked: "What is that, my son?" "I want a theater," said Tad. "Well, my boy, I don't know that I have any objection," said the president. "There are plenty of them, I suppose, in the toy shops." "Oh, but I don't want a toy theater," protested the youngster. "I want a real one. There isn't any reason why we shouldn't have a theater in the White House." Mr. Lincoln was not at first disposed to take the-suggestion favorably, but Tad, who was his favorite child and at that time eleven years old, was persistent, and at length the indulgent parent yielded. This was just before the Christmas of 1863—too late to have the theater ready for the holidays, many preparations being required. But it is a matter of history, though known to few, that not long after the following New Year's day the boy's ambition was realized, a room on the second door of the executive mansion being set aside for the purpose and a stage erected, with gas footlights and simple scenery. HOLLY FOR THE PRESIDENT. Southern Belles and Beaus Brought It by Stagecoach. Before railways coaches changed horses at Alexandria and at the capital, and loads of young belles and beaus went to the Christmas parties in Washington, carrying to the president and his family holly and trailing pine from their southern homes. President Buchanan, with Miss Lane, "the golden beauty of the White House," gave grand getes to the young people of the capital in 1858-9 on Christmas eve. The maledens wore empire gowns and high combs. To each guest Miss Lane gave a sprig of holly berries as a souvenir. Perhaps the most attractive event of President Johnson's administration was the Christmas party for children given to please his nephews and nieces and their friends. "A platform stood in the center of the east room, on which sat the Marine band. Overhead were festooned silken flags, and flowers bloomed everywhere. It was a fairyland of butterfly coloring—gold and scarlet sashes, stockings and pretty slippers. Mr. Glumm on Christmas.
