S. said, if not the exact language, words to The Professor-President of the U. S. the author of "The New Freedom." The man, who as candidate for the highest office in the gift of the American people, told a delegation of Colored American citizens, who called upon him to get his views as to his treatment of the Colored people in case he should be elected President of the U. S. Among other things said, if not the exact language, words to this effect: I will treat them (the Colored people) with the exact letter and spirit of the Constitution. No, I will not place you upon that low standard, but I will go further and treat you in the spirit of the Christian religion.

We are told that the U. S. is neutral so far as the war is concerned, and yet, a Democratic Congress and President has placed a hundred million dollar "war tax" on us to help make up the deficiency in the government income, notwithstanding we have the income tax in addition to the free trade tariff measure, and our income is still insufficient to meet our expense account. The "war tax," although at peace with all the world is justified by the administration on account of the European war, although it is well known that governmental revenue was far behind the income long before war was declared, but fortunately for the Democratic National Administration their incompetence in managing the U. S. Government can be blamed on the European war. Close investigation on articles taxed for the one hundred million dollar "war tax" shows the South is truly in the saddle in Washington, whether as chairman of all the important committees in the National House of Representatives or the U. S. Senate, etc. The measure is drawn so as to compel the East, North and Western States to pay 84 per cent of this "war tax," while the South pays 16 per cent. When recently the U. S. was requested by Southern Senators for a loan to move the cotton from the South. U. S. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah introduced a resolution proposing that at least fifty million of the two hundred million dollars asked for be spent in the West, particularly in his own state to handle the copper produce from the mines, but this was promptly voted down. The Democratic party always has been, and is today a SECTIONAL party as all its acts prove. No, Mr. President soft words. butter, no parsnips, and while you might lecture to the college students, or even deliver personal messages and hold the Democratic representatives under your thumb nails as it were, the American people having given great signs of retiring you to private life with the election of "Uncle Joe Canon" of Illinois the great protectionist and tariff advocate, the re-election of Rep- --- I will treat them (the Colored people) with the exact letter and spirit of the Constitution.

And as far as we are able to learn with one single exception that of the Register os the U. S. Treasury, which he afterward withdrew upon the demand of the "South in the Saddle Senators such as Vardaman, Tillman and Hoke Smith. If, after a year of so-called investigation it is reported, he told a delegation of citizens representing the Colored people that no segregation existed in the departments of the U. S. Government at Washington, but that the signs placed over toilets, etc. in the departments reading "For Colored" were simply to avoid friction between the races. Strange to say, that after nearly fifty years of Government employees working side by side this "friction" should suddenly appear under a Democratic administration. This same President within the past week has caused to be issued from the White House a letter of self congratulation ostensible addressed to his son-in-law, Mr. McAdoo, trying to uphold his administration and sees prosperity just ahead us. The spirit of poetry and rapt prophecy breathes from it, he hails the "new thing," a 'new life. "a new day," a new spirit," a 'new enthusiasm," the end of "agitation suspicion." Fine words these from our chief executive, but with shops and mills closed all over this great country, with millions of idle workers in the U. S. unable to find employment, the average voter believes there is something radically wrong with the Democratic free tariff, known as the Underwood free tariff measure, with its free tariff on wool, sugar, etc. But the average wage earner fails to see where sugar has been reduced in price for his breakfast table, he fails to see that free wool has reduced the price on clothes, meats and the other every day necessities of life, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 5, 1914 Southern Journal Standing Straight For Justice, Law and Order. Courier Journal Shows Courage of Convictions. The mob that lynched a Negro and his wife near Byhalia. Miss., on suspicion of burning a planter's barn, was actuated, we are quite sure, solely by a desire to protect the honor of Southern women. Northern people may wonder what barnburning has to do with criminal assaults, but it is none the less 'the usual crime' where a Negro is concerned, just as insulting a white man or striking a policeman or any offense perpetrated by a Negro is the 'usual crime' for purposes of immediate and condign punishment at the hands of the mob. "In saying this the World is well aware that it will be reminded by forty or more Southern newspapers that it is slandering the South and that it is utterly ignorant of the conditions of racial relationship which necessitate the use of the rope or burning at the stake to safeguard womanhood." (New York World.) The plain truth is, as the Courier-Journal has often explained for the benefit of foolish persons who see in lynching a serious effort to prevent crime, that in all mob murders the element of excitement—the pursuit of entertainment—is dominant. Mobs are not composed of men who are concerned about the solution of the problem of lawlessness. They are not composed of men who are habitually concerned about the protection of women. Drunken riffraff, rallying to indulge in a lynching, represent nothing more than the desire for amusement which promotes fox hunting, cock fighting and presentative Mann, floor leader of the Republicans in the House of Representatives, and other veteran Republican war horses throughout the Nation. And the return of such Senators to the U. S. Senate as Curtis of Kansas, and the noblest roman of them all, and who was bitterly opposed to the National Democratic administration—that stalw a r t Republican, Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania. The reduction from 140 majority in the National House of Representatives to 25 in the next House of Representatives, is enough to cause the minority President, for such he is, to issue a letter of self-congratulation to the country. But the kind words of the administration remind the voter of the thrilling melodrama, entitledl "Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model." In the early part of the play the villain pushed Nellie off the Brooklyn bridge. Later he threw her overboard from an Atlantic liner. Later still, he thrust her under a descending elevator. The next time they met he said: "Nellie why do you fear me."—LAESTRELLA. racing—sports differing, of course, one from another and akin to man hunting only in that they offer excitement. The fatuous fellow who spouts about lynch law for criminal assault is dangerous to the peace of the community because his indorsement of mob murders encourages the ruffians who make up lynching parties. The man who is willing to join the mob is merely a cowardly brute who likes the excitement of man-baiting where there is little prospect of interference at the scene of the contemplated crime or indictment afterward for participation. One determined officer who is willing to shoot to kill can turn back a mob of 100 "determined citizens." That is because lynching is merely a country frolic, enjoyable only so long as there is no danger that anyone save the prisoner will be hurt. The Courier-Journal agrees with the World as to lynching being always indefensible, but does not believe that there are forty Southern newspapers of any importances in whose opinion lynching is a Southern institution worthy of defense. There may be forty, or more, ready to point out that in proportion to the opportunity provided by the presence of a mixed population lynching occurs as often in the North as in the South, and that it is punished no more readily in Pennsylvania than in Mississippi. But credit should be given to several States which have taken preventive measures by enacting "automatic removal laws" under which an officer who yields to a mob loses his office without being allowed to raise the question of whether he was at fault. Automatic removal laws are in force, in only a few States. Every State should have such a law, and because the Southern States, with their greater Negro population, stand more in need of them and have exhibited little interest in adopting them they can be justly blamed for not having exhibited the right degree of militancy against mob murder. Kentucky is among the States that have neglected to enact the automatic removal law. Its enactment is regularly recommended by the Courier-Journal when Legislatures convene. Possibly persisttency may in time be rewarded. Washington, Nov. 30—The supreme court today announced thru Justice Hughes that the Jim Crow law of Oklahoma was invalid, insofar as it allowed the furnishing of sleeping, parlors and chair cars only to white persons. The court did not issue a decree because the suit to enjoin the enforcement of the statute by five Negroes had been too general in setting up the rights of the Negroes. Retribution is an awful thing! and it is as sure in its coming and working as the Fiat of Fate. Belgium and Retribution have met face to face and have embraced and kissed each other. Years have swept on since that crowned wretch, old King Leopold, supported and encouraged by the moral silence and acquiescence of the Belgians as a nation committed such nameless horrors upon the defenseless black people of Belgium's Congo possessions. So awful were those crimes that an outburst of protests came from all of the civilized nations of the world ere Belgium and her worse than Negro-like wretch of a king let up committing their ghoulish atrocities. The severed hands and feet and heads of the black men, women and children, the disembowelling and the manacling of limbs and casting of others aside to starve in the event these poor creatures brought not up their superhuman tasks, all this cries today against Belgium, and Retribution is exacting its toll with fearfully added interest from the ill-sated country. Retribution is a terrible thing! It is so linked with misdeeds that the latter cannot escape without making their reckoning sooner or later. Liege, Brussels, Louvaine, Namur. Antwerp, and hundreds of towns, villages, hamlets and countrysides which received some of the blood-soils that came from the superhuman tail of the mained and brutally maltreated blacks of the Congo are an answer through German destruction to Retribution. The devastation of the country as the result of the horrors that was has wrought in his wildest and most desperate fury throughout its bounds brings stravation home to the people who sanctioned the cruelties of old Leopold who manacled and starved to death the blacks in the Congo who brought not in their impossible tasks of rubber. Yes, the spirit of those permitted and committed atrocities are abroad, and the men, women and children of Belgium, though old Leopold, the wretch is dead, are now answering in their indescribable suffering the suffering endured by the black men, women and children long since gone. Retribution, the accurate and faithful account against Belgium, as eventually he will straight en it up against every transgressor, whether it be nation, race, tribe, gang, family or individual.—National Baptist Union Review. The Victor Talking Machine Co., has recently engaged Jos. H. Douglass, the violinist, to play for its records. FIVE CENTS A COPY. Little Rock, Ark.—Claiming that religious training received at a Catholic convent had caused her to repent, Gertrude Hollinshed, a 16 year old white girl sent for Judge Lankford and declared that her testimony which had sent nine persons of color to the penitentiary over a year ago, was false. In August, 1913, this girl, then under 16 years, who was an orphan living with her stepmother, was driven from home and was taken in by a colored woman. Later she brought serious charges against the woman who had befriended her and eight men. The nine persons against whom she testified were given from 19 to 35 years in the penitentiary. The woman was was sent up for 35 years. Now after being imprisoned 15 months, the girl says she lied, that they are innocent of wrong-doing and she wants them pardoned. Prejudice. We quote from a letter in the New York Times: "Easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its preceptions are false. It sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It nurtures lies and rejects truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy. It rules those who give it life. It is a conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions of men. It sits beside the gates of life and takes toll of all that pass. "It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of justice. It is the hand-maiden of error, the nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and poisons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickens on the sustenance of today. "It is the anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It bemeans benevolence and shuns communion. It stills the sound of music and palsies the hand of art. It betrays belief and sets suspicion on a throne. It rejoices in tears. It rejoices in tears. Its mirth is in misery. "It is the monster of the mind. It pollutes thought, serves despair, and ravishes right. It offends against fact and is a stranger to logic. Its soothing is in sophistry. It divines the potions brewed by witches of the brain. It is a thing of charms and amulets. "It is prejudice! "NATHAN STRAUS" A new colored business directory of Philadelphia has been published.

The union Thanksgiving service which was held at Campbell Thanksgiving morning, was very largely attended and everyone enjoyed Reva Smith's eloquent and inspiring sermon. The choir, composed of the choirs from the various churches, was a noticeable part of the meeting, for their songs were appropriate and beautifully sung. The Thanksgiving dinner given by the Ladies' Auxiliaries of the churches was a great success and all who eat one of their big dinners went away with a smile. The evening exercises, under the leadership of Mrs. O. Tucker, pleased a large audience and was a grand climax for the day. Mrs. Washington, the pastor's wife, who has been quite ill, is convalescent. The Afro-American Ministerial Union will hold a mass meeting Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the Central Baptist church. NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St., David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. The Thanksgiving activities at Zion last week were controlled by the spirit of generosity as has marked the congregation in other days. The most notable feature was the large amount of food and money which was dispensed among our needy friends. A wagon load of heavily laden baskets was sent to different parts of the city and met a hearty response from many generous hearts. The Church Aid served dinner at the church and rendered a delightful children's programme in the evening. A goodly sum was realized for the auxiliary work of the church. The Bible study work of the church is going forward with enthusiasm. Special features are to be added to this work in the way of monthly addresses from prominent Christian workers in the city. Programmers will be announced shortly. The Ladies' class meets at 2:30 p. m. on Thursday; the Men's class at 8:00 p. m. Tuesdays. Everyone welcome.

Will you help? DEFENDS MANHOOD RIGHTS. Condemned by Southern Paper. The Lexington Herald, the leading Democratic newspaper of the blue grass region of Kentucky, proves a notable exception to the rule by which southern dailies rally to the support of President Wilson's policy of discrimination against the Negro, says the New York Evening Post. "The humbest American citizen of full Negro blood is, in the eyes of the law, the full equal of the most powerful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon descent" says Editor Desha Breckenridge, in a leading article published Nov. 17, which is, in part, as follows: We regret the president has again permitted himself to display irritation to those who went to him as chief executive of the nation and refused to answer questions put to him about the treatment of public employees. When the women who are striving to secure equal suffrage approached him he took refuge behind the prerogative that every private citizen but no public official has the right to exercise a display of temper and a declaration that he must refuse to be catechized. For the second time he has permitted himself to lose his temper when confronted by a delegation of citizens asking him to take action about a matter that is embarrassing to him. A number of Negroes representing various Negro organizations appealed to him to forbid the segregation of Negroes in the departments at Washington. The spokesman of the delegation reminded him of campaign pledges made and stated that they did not come to him to ask charity, but as American citizens to demand equal treatment to that accorded other American citizens. Does the president of the United States believe that as a matter of governmental policy citizens of African extraction should be treated differently from citizens of Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic, Slav or Latin extraction? Is the president of the United States, the chief executive officer of the greatest republic in the world that has opened its doors as a refuge for the oppressed of all nations, willing to stand before the peoples of the earth as giving the sanction of his great personality and high office to the perpetuation of race prejudice? Is it to be the policy of the government of the people, by the people, for the people, that any race is to be set aside as distinguished from another race? At what point will the government as government stop the segregation of different races? As we conceive the purpose of this government, it is to treat every individual as equal before the eyes of the law—black or white, red or yellow, Jew or Gentle, Protestant or Catholic—whatever the breed, whatever the creed, matters not, at least should matter not to the public official charged with the duty of serving all the people. The humbleest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the law the full equal of the most powerful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon descent. The public servant elected by the people, paid by the people, owes to the humbleest citizen the same protection and the same treatment accorded to the most powerful. We are distressed that the president has allied himself with those who believe in the perpetration of race prejudice and justify race passion. As a private citizen every man has the right to determine his own course. As a public official the higher the office the greater the obligation to act with justice and treat with patience those who must book to the public officer for the protection of the law. It is but a step in descent from the position taken by those public officials in Washington who segregate one race to the public official in a southern state who advocates lynch law. The example of the higher official will be cited by the lower official as justification for his course. The mob of the south that lynches in the night is but a step further than the official order that segregates because of color in the day. CAMPBELL A. M. E. CHURCH Cor. 23rd and Lawrence Sts.

He was born in Chicago, May 7, 1888. He graduated from the Uni- vesity of Chicago in 1910 and immedi- ately became {instructor in English at the State university in Loutsville, Ky. where be remained for awhile teach- ing.

Brooklyn.—Tbat “drawing the color line" 1s only « newfangled way of dodging a whipping, is the optnion of the Commercia! High school’s football eleven, the members of which returned from Cornwall-on-the-Hudson much disgusted and somewhat belligerent because tbe gridiron warriors of the New York Military academy of that place bad refused to play with the Brooklyn boys on the ground that a colored lad was on the team, says the Brooklyn Eagle in its issue of Nov. 15. Edward Williams, the objectionable feature of the Brooklyn team, plays tackle and has beld down a hard posi- don on the Commercial teams for three years and is considered one of the star players. When the Cornwall voys declined to play in a game with tim the Brooklyn lads stood up for Williams valiantly and absolutely re- fused to put bim off the team, even temporarily, so the scheduled game could be played. The Brooklyn boys declare that the New York Military academy knew full well that a colored iad played on their team. In fact, the local boys found clippings from the Eagle posted on the walls of their dressing rooms in which Edward Williams was referred to as the colored star of the Commercial eleven. In view of this the local war- rior bokd that if there had been any objection to him on the part of the Cornwall boys notice of the fact should have been served on the Com- mercial High school before the team went to Cornwall. ‘The Commercial players did not learn of the fastidiousness of the mil- {tary school until they were in their aniforms and on the field. In fact. they had already gone through their signal practice and were awaiting the call to arms when William Cochran, coach of the military team, informed Robert J. Shearer, coach of the local aggregation, that the Cornwall boys wouldn't play against a team that had a colored lad among its members. Cochran explained, according to the stories brought back by the Brooklyn lads, that there were several south: erners on the military team and that these had “serious hereditary dislikes” to contesting with a colored person. ‘The Brooklyn boys say they looked over the academy’s team pretty care- fully and discovered that a number of its stars were missing from the lineup and that they believe the Cornwall eleven really used the “color line” as a blind to duck the game, which the jocal lads say would have bad bat one result—the defeat of the Cornwall team and the breaking of ite so far clean record of victories. After the military lads bad posi tively refused to play the local boys and the latter had declined to elimt nate Ed from their lineup just to please the fancies of some southern: ers the Commercial eleven took the next train for West Point to see the big game there. Ed Willams, whose mighty prowess the Cornwallites seemed to fear, ts one of the best known tackles in the scholastic athletic world, and although be has played for three years with Commercial there has never been a ‘kick against the way he plays the | game.

BIG EXPOSITION TO SHOW ADVANCE Virgina Gelobation Scheduled _ to Begin duly 4 1915. GILES B. JACKSON AS LEADER Prometers of Great State Function Advance Many Good Reasons Why It Should Interest Our People Through- out the Country—Congress Appro- priates $88,000 Toward Expenses. Richmond, Va.—While it ts both es sential and proper that the former slaves and thelr descendants should fittingly celebrate the semicentennial or fiftieth year of thelr freedom in ev- ery state of the Union, the exposition to be held near Richmond, Va, in July and August, 1915, should take pre-em! nence over all aimilar celebrations. since It was at Jamestown, Va, that the first slaves were landed soon after they reached this country in 1619. ‘The colored people served for 246 years in actual slavery in Virginia, the mother of presidents and statesmen. In Virginia, that gave to the country Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry. James Monroe, John Randolph, “Stone- wall” Jackson, Robert E. Lee, John Wise, William Mahone, John Mercer Langston and many other national characters, white and colored, and where the great civil war ended on April 9, 1865, which was followed by the freedom ‘of the race, the celebra. tion should be a magnificent display of what they have achieved in the Past fifty years of freedom. Not only our race in Virginia, but those in every etate, should take part in this great event and make {t one that our whole country and the civi- lized world will admire. While the celebration in a sense 1s local, it should be carried out for the reasons named on such a high scale as to make it ua- tional in character and thus set the pace for a great national centennial celebration at the proper time. ‘This generation will then have pass- ed away, but it will have laid a foun- dation on which future generations can build in forming the history of « race that the Bible tells us “shall yet stretch forth its hands unto God and become a mighty nation.” The colored people in some of the states have al- ready held similar celebrations, and others wil) celebrate in 1915. In some states annual fairs have been held res ularly and a larger number of county fairs, at which the industrial and ma- terial advancement of the race has been exhibited. All of these have been gradually paving the way for larger celebrations. Not more than two years ago a large number of leading colored men sought to bring about a national semi-centen- nial of the freedom of the race in 1913 and asked congtens for an appropria- tion of $200,000 during the Taft admin Jgtraion, Dut after long deliberation ‘congress showed that it deemed it in expedient that the race should under- take to celebrate upon such a large weale after only fifty years of freedom and that the exhibits that could bé Bade within that time under the cir- Cumstanses would not justify #0 greaf an outlay of money by the general government, and the bill making the appropriation did not pass. Able wen in congress thought that more time and more advancement werv necessary before the holding of a na tional celebration should be undertak en by the newly emancipated race. It took the white race from the founda tion of the government tn 1789 and the holding of many hundreds of state and thousands of county fairs to get ready for the great national centennial which was held in Philadelphia tn 1876. The wisdom of the course of congress in that case is now clear. Whenever the people of any single state have attempted to put on such an exposition congress has readily act ed {n the matter, as it did in making ‘an appropriation of $55,000 for such & celebration and exposition by the colored people in Virginia. When our race continues in its prog: reas till 1965, when it can celebrate 100 years of freedom, place its achieve. ments on exhibition and ask con grees for help it will be granted with out scarcely any opposition. The rea son for this ought to be clear. ‘The colored people of Virginia as well as the whole race are now on trial What have colored people done salons all Hines to elevate themselves in Vir- ginia ona plane with the best citizens of the state? Let their exhibits and the conduct of the exposition under the supervision of Colonel Giles B. Jack son in July and August, 1915, answer this question. It must answer It. The national government will expect it The colored people and the white peo ple of Virginia will expect it. Then it becomes the paramount duty of ev ery Intelligent colored man and intel ligent colored woman in this state to do all they can in every way to make it a great success in order to sustain and uphold the honor of the colored people of the state, before the state. the nation and the entire race tn this The Denver Star CHAS.

The case of a Negro drawing the color line against another Negro came up for final hearing and argument Wednesday morning before Justice of the Peace Stapleton. The judge took the view that "shining stands" were not included in the broad terms in the statute, "enjoy the privileges, advantages and rights alike with others in all public accommodations," etc. That the legislature did not intend to mean "shining parlors." Hence the Negro was discharged. The judge said he agreed with the law, but that the statute intended to protect the Negroes in their civil rights did not do so in this particular case. One soda decision and shoe shining decision was cited to uphold his contention. The Star will discuss and comment upon the decision later. We reproduce with pleasure the following article from the Rocky Mountain News of November 28th: NEGROES . MAKE PLEA AGAINST PREFJUDICE. President of Denver Colored Club Writes Appreciation of Com- Editor of The Rocky Mountain News: Editor of The Rocky Mountain News. In your issue of the 24th inst. there appeared an editorial comment entitled "A Week in Politics." The comment was on the visit of the Negro committee headed by Mr. W. M. Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, who called on President Wilson to lay before his excellency the wrong of "segregating" blacks from whites in government departments at Washington, D. C. It is not the purpose of this communication to discuss the incident, but to thank you for your fairness in presenting, in a condensed form, the unfortunate Negroes' side of the unpleasant affair which had its origin in race prejudice. There is no greater sin affecting the human family than that of race prejudice, and the deep and damning scourge prevails to a greater degree in America than in any other country in the world. Prejudice Cuts Both Ways. Race prejudice is not only fearful, but it is destructive to its victim. It acts like a two-eled sword, cuts both ways, injuring permanently the victim and the persecutor. In the last analysis, the victim from race prejudice suffers but a little more than the man who inflicts the prejudice. We live in a great and growing country. Our country, America, would be truly the "land of the free and the home of the brave" if it were not for the terrible scourge—race prejudice. Our country is great and ample in area—room enough for us all; opportunities and resources enough for all the people, who make up our cosmopolitan population, to succeed and grow into useful possibilities if we would adopt the motto that "the country is wide and that we are all here on business." But the handicap—the one baring fundamentally at the root of our success and great possibilities—is race prejudice. The white man—a superior and intelligent race—is the great disseminator of this scourge and deadly disease. There is no section of our common country that is free from this blighting prejudice on account of race. Mr. Editor, this race prejudice is unwarranted and undeserved. The Negro is here to stay. He is here for harmony and for the most cordial relation. He is opposed to riot, anarchy, insurrection and rebellion. He does not ask for social equality; he asks no favors, he begs no quarter. He asks for equality before the law, and the opportunity to be a man. He wants an equal chance in the shops, in commerce, at the trades, and in every field of human endeavor. He wants equal opportunities for his children's education and advancement, that they may become good and useful citizens. He wants a voice in the government of his country. He is opposed to government without the consent of the governed. He is for the "government of the people, for the people, and by the people." He wants a representative at court, and he does not ask the white man to deprive himself of any opportunity or advantages he has.

The meeting of the Taka Art and Literary club with Mrs. Waldron of East 24th Ave., was profitable as well as pleasant. The debate, "Can any circumstances justify a departure from truth," proved most interesting. This being literary day, a number of visitors were present, Mesdames Bondurant, Turner and Porter.

Next week, Dec. 9, the club will meet with Mrs. Byrd instead of Mrs. Washington on account of the illness of the latter. The Takas are planning some big surprises for the public. Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Henderson of 753 Franklin street entertained some Denver friends at dinner Sunday. Rev. P. J. Price, pastor of the Central Baptist, preached Sunday as he never preached before. His sledge hammer blows on morality, thought, lived and acted, met with a quick response from the audience and it has been many a day since Scott church and the Ministerial Alliance heard such forcible and truthful words. He did not mince, nor did he apologize nor sidestep, but preached from the text, "Go Preach the Gospel," untraumelled, unadulterated, pure and simple, and preach it unafraid. The majority of the Alliance were out and Rev. Smith received their unified support, which was very commendable in the ministry. YOUR COLD IS DANGEROUS— BREAK IT UP—NOW. A cold is readily catching.

DERRY, E. C. G. S. CONTEE, Rec. EDUCATORS HOLD ANNUAL SESSION Texas Colored Teachers' Association Meets at Austin. FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM State Organization Receives Warm Welcome to the City by Mayer Woolridge—Many Prominent Men Deliver Addresses—W. L. Davis Cengratulated on Success of the Work. Austin, Tez.—The culture and intellect of the Lone Star State were represented at the fortieth annual session of the Texas Colored Teachers' association, which convened in the newly erected Anderson high school in this city Thanksgiving day. Professor L. C. Anderson, principal of the high school, on behalf of the colored schools, and Professor A. N. McCallum, superintendent of the city schools, extended to the visitors a hearty welcome to the hospitalities of the session. The principal feature of the afternoon session, held at Tillotson college, was the address by Professor E. L. Blackshear, principal of the state school at Prairie View. A few months ago Professor Blackshear had the unusual honor of being invited to make an address at the University of Texas. His effort was pronounced by his white friends as one of the greatest of his successful career. Taking as his subject, "The Aim of the Conference For Education," Professor Blackshear easily equaled his effort at the university in his address here Thanksgiving day. The evening session was held at Wesley chapel, M. E. church, Hon. R. L. Smith former member of the Texas PETER J. PROFESSOR W. L. DAVIS. legislature and at present president of the colored bank at Waco and of the Farmers' improvement society, delivered the annual Thanksgiving address. The extent of the welcome tendered by the people of Austin was emphasized by the great crowd that clamored for opportunity to hear Mr. Smith's address. Friday morning, Nov. 27, Dr. R. S. Lovinggood, president of Samuel Houston college, presided over the session of the general division. At this session Mayor Woolridge, on behalf of the city officials, formally welcomed the teachers to the Texas capital. By special request Mrs. E. J. Guinn sang a fine solo. Another important number of the morning's program was the annual address of Hon. W. L. Davis of Hempstead, Tex., president of the association. On every hand President Davis is being congratulated on the general success of the meeting this year, which is largely due to his untiring efforts. The early part of the afternoon session was devoted to the teachers of the primary departments, and the remainder of the afternoon, under the direction of Hon. W. F. Bledsoe, grand master of the United Brothers of Friendship, on the relation of fraternal societies to education among our people, was discussed. No night session was held. Instead, under the direction of Mrs. Susie E. Smith, musical director of Samuel Houston college, a grand musicale, participated in by the representatives of the leading colleges and high schools, served to interest and entertain the visitors and townsfolk. Of added interest, even to the lovers of music, was the address of Professor William M. Pickens, who but recently returned from the scenes of the present great war in Europe and the holy land. The Saturday sessions were devoted to the discussion of the work of the rural schools and of the industrial and high school departments of the city schools. The closing session was held at Tillotson college, beginning at 3 o'clock. This session was devoted to the problems affecting the colleges. Hon. A. S. Jackson, secretary of the educational work of the A. M. E. church, is the leader of this division. A new feature of this year's session of the association was the display of the work of the students from the various schools and colleges The influence of the association is more than state wide, for its methods of work have been of much assistance to teachers and needs of schools in other states. The officers of the organization are well known and capable teachers among our people. UNION HEALTH and ACCIDENT POLICIES ALWAYS SATISFY CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $150,000.00 Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

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 ove a band of vocalists, recruited from the choir of St. Mary's Episcopal church, start out 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 linger but a little time, for they must cover their arranged route before the chiming of the church bells ushers in a new Christmas. GIFT LADEN PINATAS. Unique Holiday Freelies 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 pelasnos to delight the eye and tempt the purses of the promenaders. In the booths of the neighboring Calle de San Juan are displayed fruits, 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 that men do unto you, do ye even so to them The world is full of the people who talk so much of what they can do and what they are going to do that they never have time to begin. Christmas tide is a splendid opportunity for action. A New Dining Room now in connection with the Keystone Club.

A West Side lady entertained at her cosy home the other evening at a corn popping bee. The congeniality of the guests, the hospitality of the hostess, the musical numbers by R. J., and the delicious refreshments served made the evening a delightful one. Lively graphophone numbers were interspersed. J. C. W. was the toastmaster and was at his best. O. J. sent regrets and asked that refreshments be sent him, but there was none left to tell the tale. A camp fire was built and around the glowing embers the guests, seated in a circle, reminiscences of bygone days were related. Startling were the revelations. A series of entertainments are planned for the B. O. K. D. and at the next meeting one or two new members will be initiated. No petitions are considered. The B. O. K. D. select, by consent, the new members. The costumes were varied. At a late hour the guests departed, some on foot, others by the Tramway autos. ..Starting at the Annex Theatre, Thursday, Dec. 10, a new continued story, "TREY OF HEARTS."

The Lincoln-Douglass Sanitarium Association rally is going forward. At the last meeting of the workers, money from membership fees began to come in. The workers decided to end the membership effort in Denver in a big public meeting Tuesday night. February 16, 1915. This date will enable them to commemorate the birthdays of the two great men after whom the institution is named. It will be a great occasion for the Negroes of Denver to show their mettle and an opportunity for them to demonstrate their humanitarian sympathy and their ability of self help and self preservation. At the next meeting of the workers, Dec. 15th, the officers of the Association and those called in conference with them will be present. Both the workers and the members of that conference committee are asked to keep this date in mind and to make their various reports as nearly complete as possible. The place of this meeting is the home of Mrs. C. W. Buford, 1141 Downing. PROMPT ACTION WILL STOP YOUR COUGH. When you first catch a cold (often indicated by a sneeze or cough), break it up at once. The idea that "it does not matter" often leads to serious complications. The remedy which immediately and easily penetrates the lining of the throat is the kind demanded. Dr. King's New Discovery soothes the irritation, loosens the phlegm. You feel better at once. "It seemed to reach the very spot of my cough" is one of many honest testimonials. 50c at your druggist.
