On To East Turner Hall, Tuesday, TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 65 WILSON AND SEGREGATION. What is generally conceded as the most remarkable and strongest editorial expression anent the call on President Wilson, recently, of that race delegation headed by Editor W. Monroe Trotter, is that of a Southern daily paper, a supporter of the Wilson administration—the Lexington (Ky.) Herald, Mr. Desha Breckinridge, editor. After calling attention to the President's "display of irritation" and loss of temper, and reminding him that "he is not the master, but the servant of all the people," it says: "It is peculiarly unfortunate that President Wilson should give the exhibitions of offended dignity upon occasions when women, who have not a vote, and Negroes, who are the weaker race, are those who appeal to him. If he believes that the policy of segregation should be adopted by the United States Government he should have no hesitation in so stating frankly and giving his reasons therefor. If he believes that the different races, of which the people of the United States are composed, should each be segregated, he has a right to so believe and so state. Has he a right as President, to act in accord with that belief? 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? 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 Gentile, 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 humblest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the law the full equal of the most powerful citizen of the purest AngloSaxon descent. The public servant elected by the people, paid by the people, owes to the humblest citizens the same protection and the same treatment accorded to the most powerful. Neither breed nor creed, neither culture nor vocation should determine the treatment accorded to a citizen by a servant. If You Wish to Avoid Criticism, DO Nothing, SAY Nothing, BE Nothing.--Crisis. (Sunday Caucasian, Shreveport, La.) There is some difference between the negro and the nigger. The Negro, as a rule, is industrious, law-abiding, well behaved and who, while striving to improve his condition, is ever sensible of his position. Booker Washington is a Negro. He is respected by all good law-observing citizens. Through his influence he is gradually teaching his race how they may best promote their welfare in usefulness and substantial progress. Booker Washington has never attempted to seek social quality. A nigger, for instance, is as is William Trotter of Boston, Mass., who has assumed leadership over many of his caliber located in the Northern cities. A few days since this nigger with some of his fellows, called on President Wilson at the White House, and read him a lesson in politics. He was imperious and importent in manner and insolent in his demand for the recognition of niggers by the President. It is a pity that President Wilson restrained himself and maintained the dignity of his position. Trotter ought to have been kicked and bounced from the White House. It is the nigger, such as Trotter, that would create discord and strife, that would array the races in antagonism. The nigger Trotters are always a menace to peace and order and should be suppressed at the North as they have been in the South. COLE BLEASE PARDONS MANY. Columbia, S. C.—Governor Cole Blease has again demonstrated the fact that he is the champion pardon governor of the day. Thanksgiving day after a hearty dinner the arch enemy of the race pardoned or paroled seventy five convicts in the state prison. Records in the secretary of state's office show Governor Blease has commuted the sentences, pardoned or paroled more than 1.400 prisoners in the last four years. Why marvel at President Wilson drawing the color line when it is history, that as a lawyer, Mr. Wilson drew up the first segregation law in Atlanta, Ga. As president of Princeton University, Mr. Wilson again drew the color line, thereby closing this great institution of learning to colored students, and as Governor of New Jersey, he also drew the color line. Why expect him to act any different as President of the United States? Portland Advocate. "We are distressed that the President has allied himself with those who believe in the perpetuation 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 look 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." Man and Wife Lynched Jackson, Mlss. -The latest lynching has placed Mississippi in a class by itself of those southern states that indulge in the atrocious American crime in the defense of an outraged citizenship. Wednesday Nov. 25, at Bayhalia, Frederick Sullivan, a well-to do farmer and his wife were lynched at midday. A deputy sheriff and his posse watched the unlawful crime without protest. These victims of mob violence were accused of burning a barn. Folk Song Festival in Boston. Boston, Mass., Dec. 2. Mme. E, Azalia Hackley directed a Folk Song Festival Monday night at Symphony Hall, in which a chorus of 200 voices sang a program of folk song, the composers all being Negroes. It was the first folk song festival in the New England states. R. Nathaniel Dett, pianist and Clarence Cameron White, violinist, were the soloist. The affair was a splendid success. The proceeds were for the benefit of the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion church, Boston, and the Hackley Normal Vocal Institute, Chicago, which is directed and managed by Mme' Hackley. Mme. Hackley will produce a folk song festival for the people of Springfield, Ill., and will return to Chicago, to open her vocal institute about the middle of December. Freetown, West Africa — The ship Liberia, which left this country the latter part of September, or early in October, with sixty passengers, bound for the gold coast of Africa, whether they were going as a committee, under the direction and supervision of Chief Sam, was sunk in the Indian Ocean by the German war vessel Bunden, with all on board. It will be well for the critics of Chief Sam's scheme to withhold their criticism until further details can be obtained. The American newspaper have grossly misrepresented him, and if he had been the crook and schemer that they insinuated he was, he never could have succeeded as he did in interesting and holding the confidence of the solid men of the race in the South, who saw in it wonderful commercial and business possibilities for the race here and in Africa. Be that as it may, it is probable that when Chief Sam arranges for another shipload of deluded souls he will be able to find as many more fiddish ones to sail on the ship. Cecelia Coleman Helpless and Unprotected. New York.—There is a rumour with apparently some foundation that Cecelia Colemah, the Afro-American servant in the home of Dr. Carman Freeport, L. I., has been debarred from returning to her home in Charleston, S. C., for testifying against Mrs. Carman in the recent murder trial, she being the most important witness in the case. This new way on the part of of the Charlestonions in showing their race prejudice is another evidence of "what fools these mortals be."—Chicago Defender. Holding Men to Work Out Fines is Peonage. Washington, D. C.—The United States Supreme Court, on Nov. 30, handed down a decision upholding indictments for peonage against two Alabama planters who held a Negro to work out a court fine. The court decided that convicts held under "criminal contracts" to work out their fines and costs with persons who appear in court as their financial sponsors were held in peonage. Boston Citizen Left $5,000 to Tuskegee. Boston, Mass. Through he late William Endicott, one of the oldest citizens of Boston, the Tuskegee Institute in Alabrma receives a bequest of $5,000. Although the majority of the United States Supreme Court expressed the opinion that the Oklahoma Jim Crow law proviso permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dining and chair car accommodations to white people only was unconstitutional, the Court, nevertheless, failed to issue a decree declaring the law to be unconstitutional. The action is entirely in accord with the position which the Supreme Court has always taken upon questions involving the rights of the Negro. In every such case the Court evades the issue by dodging behind some technical error in the previous proceedings. A law was passed in Oklahoma which contained what became known as the "luxury" clause. This clause permitted the railroads of the state to provide Pullman accommodations for white people only. Five colored men brought suit to obtain an injunction restraining the railroads from enforcing the law. The case Federal Court, which declared the law to be constitutional. The case was passed upon last week by the United States Supreme Court. A majority of that Court expressed the opinion that the law was unconstitutional, but refuse to issue a decree declaring it so or to grant an injunction restraining the railroads from enforcing it. The Supreme Court simply affirmed the dismissal of the case by the Oklahoma Federal Court; and, so, the law stands just as it was before the suit was brought. It will be hard for the layman to understand why, after a majority of the Justices expressed the opinion that the law was unconstitutional, the Court did not issue a decree to that effect. The reason given by the Court for not passing on the constitutionality of the law was that the five Negroes who brought the suit had not shown that they had applied to the railroads for accommodations under the law or that the railroads had notified them that accommodations would be refused them. A decision of that sort is enough to make a man feel that there is something wrong with legal procedure in this country; and that the sentiment of contempt for courts, which has been so constantly growing in the last decade is founded in reason. It is true that legal procedure in the United States runs to the letter rather than to the spirit of the law; it makes a fetish technecalities. Here was a case in which a majority of the Court held that the petitioners were right that what they sought remedy against was wrong; and yet, A dispatch from Washington says that the President has received several letters from colored men congratulating him upon the rebuke he administered to the (Trotter) delegation of colored men who waited on him last week. We wish the President would publish the letters with the names of the writers.—New York Age. We have to say that if this statement be true the writers of these communications are traitors to their race; they are the Benedict Arnolds, the Judases of their people, unworthy of the mothers who bore them, until to be associated of men of honor. It is to be explored that they are to be classed as members of the race, they are those who would not only sell themselves the interests of their society if by so doing they could hurt for a while in the society and curry the favor of some member of the ruling class. We deliberately welcome Writers. J. H. Anderson & Son, successful contractors and builders of Piqua, Ohio, have been awarded the contract for building Central Hall, the new $20,000 building of the Curry Institute at Urbana, Ohio. Dr. Matilda A. Evans, of Columbia, S. C., who probably has the largest practice of any colored physician in the State, has recently erected a hospital n that city. The opening of the hospital celebrated her seventeenth anniversary as a practicing physician. Andrew Carnegie has given a pipe organ to a colored Baptist church in Braddock. Pa. they decided in favor of the wrong because those who were in the right had neglected to dot an "i" or cross a "t". After fighting a long and costly suit through to the highest court of the land, it is more than discouraging to be thrown out on purely technical grounds. The only comfort to be gained is the fact that a majority of the Court expressed the opinion that the law was unconstitutional. However, the law stands just as when it was passed, and the only remedy is to bring another suit in strict conformity with the letter of the law. It is interesting to note that four of the Justices, who agreed with the majority of the Court in affirming the action of the lower court, expressed no opinion on the constitutionality of the law. They are Chief Justice White of Louisiana; Justice Holmes of Massachusetts; Justice Lamar of Georgia, and Justice McReynolds of Tennessee. Church News SCOTT METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 803 26TH AVE.

Will you help? DR. J. E. SPINGARN'S SECOND TOUR BEGINS IN JANUARY Noted Educator, Writer and Consistent Advocate of Human Rights. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People and one of the most consistent advocates of the civil rights of the race, is planning to make a second tour of the country this year, which will probably be as notable in its results as the tour which he made last January. It will be remembered that he then addressed meetings in Detroit, Chicago, Quincy, Kansas City, Topeka, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Cleveland, attracting large audiences wherever he went and winning wide publicity in white papers for the cause of justice to the Negro. As an introduction to his forthcoming tour Dr. Spingarnspoke at Wilmington, Del., on Sunday. Nov. 22. Howard university on Monday, Nov. 23, and at Harrisburg, Pa., Tuesday, Nov. 24. His larger tour, which begins in January, 1915, will include Pittsburg, Columbus, Dayton, Springfield, Ill.; St. Joseph, Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, Buffalo and other cities. Ultimately he hopes to cover the whole country, so that every section will hear his message in favor of justice and equal opportunity for the members of all races in our democracy. All those interested in his itinerary may obtain information in regard to it from Miss May Childs Nerney, secretary of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York city. Dr. Spingarn is one of the best known white men who have espoused our cause. He was for twelve years professor of comparative literature in Columbia university, New York, and is a writer of international reputation. He was born in New York thirty-nine years ago, and for the last ten years has devoted a large part of his time to work for Negro rights and welfare. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, of which he is chairman, has now a membership of about 5,000, with branches in over thirty cities in all parts of the Among the members of its board of directors are Miss Jane Addams and Dr. C.

The committee of prominent citizens, under whose auspices the mass meeting was held in the Second Baptist church, in Washington, on Sunday, Nov. 15, to protest against the national government's segregation policy in the federal service in Washington, has issued the following signed statement of the order and dignity of the meeting. Washington, D. C., Nov. 15, 1814. Having read in a morning paper published in this city the evening of yesterday at Second Baptist church was a rhetoric and that the mention of the president's name brought forth jeers and slams from the audience, the officers in charge of the meeting wish to state that there was not a word uttered from the audience in derision of the president, no hissing nor jeering. It was a dignified and orderly gathering. Had there been the least thing said disrespectful of the president we in charge of the meeting would not have tolerated it for a moment. The party offending would have been elected from the church at once. THOMAS WALKER, Chairman of Meeting. W. BISHOP JOHNSON, Pastor Second Baptist Church. MAURICE W. SPENCER, E. M. HEWLETT.

BEGAN IN HUMBLE QUARTERS Practical Results Obtained Through Many Agencies For the Intellectual and Moral Betterment' of Our People In Great Southern Metropolis—Dr. J. H. Phillips a True Friend. Birmingham, Ala.—With an enrollment of nearly 400 students, with practical departments in kitchen and laundry work, manual training, shoe repairing, umbrella mending, pressing, dyeing, sewing, tailoring, basketry and other vocations, the high school here is proceeding along the right lines, in just the way that will most help the young people of the Negro race, says Ethel Armes, in the Birmingham News. Many of them can work their own way throughout the four years' course, make sufficient money for their books, clothing and food and at the same time acquire a trade which will equip them for earning their livelihood at, once upon graduation. The whole scheme is new to Birmingham, and comparatively little is known outside of the board of education of the practical results gained by this high school. Given encouragement, more space, more equipment, this school will in time take its place alongside the big Tuskegee institute and stand representative in this section of Alabama for perhaps the best achievement of the Negro race in this locality. With the juvenile court work done here for and by the colored people, the Acipco Colored Y. M. C. A. and the T. G. I. educational work for the race, the high school is one of the strong regenerative forces for good in the Birmingham district. The high school is located in the East Birmingham neighborhood, in "Lanesville." It is a heavy barn of a building, stolid, ugly, queer looking and patched all over, looming sheer up from the sidewalk like the huge battered hulk of an old wooden ship. It was built originally for a theater and dance hall by one "Wahouma Lane," an "Indian doctor" from the black belt, who, having made a sum of money, came to this city in the early days with the idea of building an adjoining city—the "city" of Lanesville. He started with the "Hotel Emma" and this "Lane Auditorium." "Having more money than sense." A. H. Parker, superintendent of the high school, says, "as Lane's carpenters soon found out. Lane was persuaded to keep adding more stories to this auditorium. His carpenters used plenty of lumber and built everything solid. Then on the top they added the theater. By that time Wahouma's funds gave out, and he disappeared." Since the school was established the entire neighborhood has changed. Everybody takes an interest in its progress and keeps a personal watch over the school property. A. H. Parker has been teaching in the public schools of this town for twenty-seven years. He was born in Ohio, attended Oberlin university for one year, then came here, where he started to teach in the graded schools. The high school for colored youths was started fourteen years ago by Superintendent Parker in a single room in the old Cameron building. The first class comprised eighteen boys and girls. The following year another class and another teacher were added. By 1914 three rooms were employed and there were four teachers. Today they are using an entire three story building and three outlying cottages and have twelve teachers and an enrollment of 337 students. Four years ago the industrial feature was added, which makes the school so unique, so effective and so practical an institution. From the very beginning Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of city schools, gave every effort in his power to aid in the evolution of this industrial high school. He understood the special needs of the colored race in Birmingham, and, backed by the board of education, he has worked indefinitely and sometimes against heavy odds to plant the school on solid foundations in this community. Superintendent Parker speaks with enthusiasm of the constant aid and co-operation and suggestive ideas given by Dr. Phillips. He has assigned to us the very best teachers it is possible to get in Birmingham. We have a strong faculty—some remarkable men and women teachers. When one sees these teachers one is not surprised at the good results that have been accomplished. Superintendent Parker says. The thirteen classes that have graduated so far contained in all seventy boys and eighty-five girls, a total of 155. What are they doing? The question may well be asked, for the maintenance of this school represents considerable money invested by the city. It represents also the sacrifice of the service these young colored people might have rendered in their homes and the wages they might have earned during the four years spent in school, aside from the efforts put forth by the students themselves. Has this investment of time and energy paid? Here are the facts; one may judge for himself: Of the 1,500 or more pupils who have enrolled in the school only one has been known to break the law and serve a sentence, and that was a boy who spent less than nine months in the school. He was punished for fighting, not for vagrancy or dishonesty. Not one of the graduates has lived a life that would cause the school to wish the name blotted from its roll. These young Negro men and women are at work in various spheres of activity, the larger number in this community, and their lives speak for themselves. The main purpose of any people is to establish and maintain the right kind of homes. Twenty-two of the eighty-five girl graduates are housewives and mothers, living in homes furnished in good taste, with clean surroundings; seventeen of them are still in this city, not only making homes and trying to help their husbands accumulate, but they are active in church work, club life and other worthy endeavors; twenty-six are teachers in the public schools of this city, fifteen in other parts of the state and one in Tallahassee, Fla.; four are trained nurses, two laudresses and four unmarried, but working in their own homes; one is a hairdresser, another a dressmaker, and eight are in higher institutions of learning. Of the seventy boys who have graduated twelve are working on railroads, three are porters in stores of various kinds, two are waiters or bellmen, one is a tailor, another a drayman, two are cleaning and pressing clothes, three are clerks in stores, three are bookkeepers, two are operating businesses for their fathers, one is running a first class lunch and soft drink business, two are paying tellers in local banks, one is an auditor for four banks, six hold positions under civil service regulations, four are teaching, two are practicing physicians, two are dentists, one is a pharmacist, one noted for his wit in school is in vaudeville, and nineteen are in higher institutions of learning. Of the 155 three have died, one girl and two boys, during these fourteen years. WORK OF SUPREME LODGE Arkansas Knights of Pythias Found Much Needed Institution. Hot Springs, Ark. - The supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias, under the jurisdiction of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, is showing a direct interest in the race by providing a health resort for the entire race in the new Pythian sanitarium in this town, which will be thrown open to the public Dec. 23. The Knights of Pythias is the only benevolent organization among us which has thus far made this kind of provision for the benefit of the race. The new building takes the place of the first one, which was destroyed by fire. When the work was begun a PYTLIAN SANITARIUM. commission was appointed to conduct it, with Dr. C. M. Wade as surgeon in chief, and J. T. T. Warren was appointed manager. The plans for the building were drawn by Mr. Bailey, an architect, of our race, whose ability in this line is well known. At the dedicatory exercises, held recently at the Victor chapel, A. M. E. church, W. W. Harris acted as master of ceremonies. Mayor J. W. McClendon delivered an address, in which he commended the members of the order for their excellent work and the interest they thus manifested in their own people. His address was full of good advice along practical lines. He said that he had watched the progress of the race very closely. "You are proving to the world that you are men, and strong men at that. We are proud of you. We hall with delight your contribution to the making of Hot Springs." Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green followed with an address equally as strong. He not only spoke for the Pythians, but for the entire race. Other addresses were delivered by Dr. C. M. Wade of this town, Henry Avant of Helena, Ark., Grand Chancellor of the State J. H. Reed and others. The cornerstone was laid by the uniform rank Knights of Pythias, with Supreme Chancellor Green in charge. Music was rendered by the Pythian band. About 2,000 people witnessed the ceremonies. The new building is much more spacious and more beautiful than the old one, having a bathhouse with all the latest appurtenances and a sanitarium whose keynote is sanitation as well as comfort. "We are not objects of charity in this country," said Supreme Chancellor Green. "We are willing to take our chances with other peoples of this country. We are proud of the work we have done, and we are going to do more. Our supreme lodge will meet next summer in Columbus, O., and it will be one of the greatest meetings ever held in the history of the order. Not only will the supreme lodge be there in full, but the uniform rank, under Major R. R. Jackson, and the Supreme Court of Calanthe, with Sir Joseph L. Jones at the head." PROGRESS AMONG COLORED WOMEN How They Are Solving Economic Problem In Chicago. IMPROVEMENT IN HOME LIFE Confident of Their Own Worth, They Are Succeeding Along Many Lines of Employment Which Require Special Training — Notable Work of the Phyllis Wheatley Home. Chicago.—Not long ago the Southern Workman, published monthly at the Hampton (Va.) Normal and Agricultural school, carried an article written by Miss Fannie Barrier Williams of this city relative to the opportunities open to the women of our race as wage earners along various lines. The Chicago Daily News says, with reference to the matter: "Colored women are often the objects of prejudice when they seek to better their economic station. Not many months ago a writer sought to show that virtually all doors of respectable employment are closed to them because of their color." So sweeping an averment would hardly seem to hold in the light of the article on the subject by Miss Williams. The article by Miss Williams contains much valuable information and is as follows: "To see colored women on the streets, in public assemblies and in the everyday walks of life, they seem altogether prosperous and sufficient. If they feel the sting of race prejudice they seem to be confident of their own worth and hopeful for better conditions. "One important evidence of progress is the enlargement and improvement of the home life of the negro people. Ten or fifteen years ago they lived in districts of the city bordering on what may be called the 'slums.' Vices of all kinds menaced the morals and health conditions of their families. But it is now easy to discern a great improvement in this respect. Better economic conditions have enabled them to purchase and occupy residences on some of the finest avenues. "It scarcely need be stated that in reference to employment in the trades, shops and stores, colored women are the least favored of any class of women in the city, yet it is impossible for them to be idle and respected. While only a few colored women are fortunate enough to gain positions in what are considered the higher callings, they are nevertheless industrious and increasingly willing to do whatever their hands find in order to earn a respectable living. About fifty colored women have won positions as teachers in our mixed public schools. There is a surprising number of young women holding good positions as clerks and stenographers. One young woman through civil service examination secured an important position with the board of education in Chicago and is now private secretary to the assistant superintendent of schools. "Young colored women may also be found acting as assistants in dental offices, as court stenographers, as demonstrators of special goods in large department stores, as meat inspectors at the stockyards, a few in canning and hair factories, a few as clerks, and scores of them earn comfortable living as manureists, chiropodists and hair curturists in private families. In addition to these there are a number of colored women who have their own millinery establishments, beauty shops and dressmaking and costuming parlorst that are elegantly appointed and up to date in every detail. There is also an increasing number of professional nurses, several of them holding positions as nurses in the public schools and members of the Visiting Nurse association. There are several colored women connected with the juvenile court acting as probation officers and one adult probation officer. There are half a dozen colored woman physicians, three dentists and one practicing attorney. Eight or ten young colored women are employed in the public library. There is a large number of music teachers, both vocal and instrumental. As a further evidence of progress young colored women are eagerly crowding the night schools of the city in order to equip themselves for business positions. "Another phase of the life of these colored women is their passion for organization. There are clubs for the study of civics, social clubs (b) promote the refinement of life, clubs for the care and protection of dependent children, religious organizations in the interest of churehes and a number of social settlements and secret societies. "The most important undertaking among colored women is the establishment of the Phillis Wheatley home. It was organized and incorporated some years ago for the purpose of giving shelter and protection to the young colored women who wander into Chicago unacquainted with the snakes and pitfalls of a great city. The home is a comfortable brick building, simply furnished, and offers a home for young women until they have secured employment, and one to which they can appeal and find a welcome at any time. Mrs. L. A. Davis is the founder and promoter of this enterprise and is president of a progressive club of colored women who look after and support this noble work." The Denver Star CHAS. S.

Acts Speak Louder Court's Time Is Taken to Play Politics. Judge Ben Stapleton ruled Tuesday that C. L. Jackson, a Negro owner of a shoe-shining parlor in the Coronado building, does not have to shine the shoes of brother Negroes. He declared that C. W. Buford, a Negro on whose complaint Jackson was arraigned in justice court for violation of civil rights in refusing to shine Buford's shoes, had no right to demand that his shoes be shined in a parlor conducted solely for white persons. Deputy District Attorney Harry Sales and his under-deputy, John Fine, represented the state. Fine, after the case was completed, said: "We knew we were licked before we started this argument. I told Rush it was coming up this morning, and he asked me what about it. I told him the law was the other way, and he said to see Sales and go make a talk so as to please niggers." Fine also asked that the reporters place his name with that of Sales in reviewing the case. The reporter has done so. Fine said, "It would look well beside Sales."—Wednesday Night Express. Slur to Negroes Costs Fine Place. Deputy District Attorney John Fine was discharged Thursday by his chief, John A. Rush, for having asked newspaper men Wednesday to put his name in the paper and telling them he had been ordered by Rush to make a useless argument in Justice Stapleton's court "to please the niggers." Rush denied that he had issued any such orders. "My orders were for my assistants to make the best possible case, just as we always try to do," said Rush Thursday. "I have never referred to negroes as 'niggers.' Anyone who knows me knows that."—Thursday Night Express. When John A. Rush was a private citizen, and not an official, he spoke time and time again to us in the People's Sunday Alliance, at our churches and upon other public occasions. When we read the statement the Star refused to believe our district attorney had fallen so low in the standard of civilization as to countenance such a public cowardly attack. We have disagreed with him upon some things, but when it came to human principles the Denver Negroes believed he would play fair. He had their confidence. When asked about the statement alleged to have been made by one of his young deputies, he utterly repudiated the sentiment and after making investigations advised the editor of the Star that Thursday night's Express would tell the story. As between the honor, honesty and frankness of District Attorney Rush and the dollar-and-a-half-a-week reporter of the Denver Express, we take the district attorney's word for the whole matter and brand the affair as an attempt of a cheap, little, picanam and detestable piece of prejudice of a yellow journal. It is too bad such wolves are allowed to be abroad in civilization. REPRESENTATIVE B. E. HILLIARD GOES TO WASHINGTON, D. C. After a personal talk with Representative Ben E. Hilliard, the newly elected member of the lower house, The Star is convinced that in him the Negro has a sympathetic friend. We opposed him from a partisan standpoint, although we knew, if not acted upon by some curious, pernicious influences in Washington, he would ring true for humanity. Mr. Hilliard is frank, open, outspoken, genial, truthful, able, and with a "backbone" for human rights that will win friends for him in congress. We hope we can say as much for him when his term ceases as we say now. Mr. Hilliard, as a Denver lawyer and a Colorado citizen, you have made good, stood square with the Golden Rule. May you ever keep the "submerged tenth" of your constituency in your mind. May you be found often in the council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. The Star will believe in you, Mr. Hilliard—until you change. May you be the noblest Roman of them all. --- Than Words $2.00 1.00 .50 rate, all subscriptions must be paid tion.

JONES MASS MEETING At Central Baptist Church, Sunday Sunday afternoon, not such a large crowd but an enthusiastic and sympathetic race-loyal gathering, assembled at Central Baptist church and there gave their hard earned dollars for the purpose of saving a life, not in Belgium nor Germany, but right here in Colorado. A vital principle is at stake if J. W. Jones was unjustly convicted and sentenced to the gallows wrongly; every Negro's right of liberty, freedom and justice is threatened. It is Jones, the gambler, today but it will be you, a taxpayer and citizen, tomorrow. Where prejudice and race hate is stirred, injustice to a class or race is but one step. All indications point to the fact that J. W. Jones did not have a fair trial. Now will the Colorado Negro sit idly by and help or let this man hang? He is a Negro. Will the Negro expect to look after his own unfortunate or expect the Anglo-Saxon to do it for him? If the penalty is too severe for the crime, let the Supreme court pass on the facts. Two hundred dollars will save his life. Who can put a value upon a human soul, especially if he was within his rights? Many speeches were made by Lawyers Townsend and Ross, Grand Master T. S. Rector, who pledged five dollars, and Wm. Hill and J. A. Whittaker. Rev. James A. Washington, the Ministerial Alliance's president was in charge of the meeting and gave five dollars, and fifty dollars was subscribed in five minutes to be paid over to T. S. Rector, the treasurer, as soon as available. The question was pertinently asked, why we did not have a permanent organization as a branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which could look after just such cases. Rev. R. L. Pope gave one dollar, as did M. Thomas, Mary Grimes, Anna Logan, Chas. Rose 2, and many others whose names we were unable to secure. Give all donations to T. S. Rector, 2716 Welton street, Denver, Colo. The Women's clubs will be asked to contribute. Everybody get, busy. Seventy-five dollars must be had by Jan. 1, 1915. Your dollar may save a man's life. Will you give yours? Is it worth that much to you? You may be the next to make the appeal. The strikers voted Tuesday to end the strike. We are glad that they have at last consented and agreed to "end" the strike, which never existed only in their minds. City News. U. B. F.'s ELECT OFFICERS FOR 1915. Western Star Lodge No. 1, U. B.

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.

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

You get ease at once and feel so much better you want to go right out and tell other sufferers about Sloan's. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and like allments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. Buy a bottle today. BE A GOOD FELLOW Appeal By Y. M. C. A. Charity Committee.

Committee—Mr. De Prantz, Eugene Carter Denver, Colo., Dec. 10, 1914. To The Editor of The Denver Star. Dear Sir; I will and do thank you very much for space in your paper for the following letter; Messrs E. V. Cammel & Co. Under- Messrs. E. V. Cammel & Co. Undertakers. Gentlemen:—Have just returned home from Farmington, Iowa, where I carried the remains of my mother, I can never really thank you for the excellent service you have rendered me. I know, as do all others, that it is just as Mrs. Hewitt and daughter (the white family with whom my mother had lived for so many years) said: "That the funeral as conducted by your Mr. Oliver, the funeral director, had never been excelled, as he seemed to have planned and executed the arrangements only as one with a thorough knowledge of the business could do." We opened the remains at both Des Moines and Farmington and the relatives and funeral directors at both places spoke of your work only in the highest and most complimentary terms. I tell you, Mr. Cammel, no one knows how to appreciate the best of service in the hours of their bereavement and worry until they have received such as your firm gave me, in the death of my mother, Mrs. Davis. I also thank Rev. Price for his timely and very choice funeral oration, the Church and all others for every kindness shown. May God reward you all. Yours, Adv. L. J. MANLEY.
