There is no mystery about developing and increasing brain power, it is as simple as developing and increasing muscular strength. We develop muscular strength by physical exercise. We develop brain-power by mental exercise; and mental exercise consists in thinking. many an educated fool, and there are not a few unlettered wise men. A man with an education is one who has learned something. In the vaudeville theatres there are often given exhibitions of educated horses and dogs and monkeys, etc, but these are in no degree exhibitions of brainpower. Reading does not necessarily produce increased brainpower. A man may read one thousand books and never have an original thought about what he reads: such a mon is not developing brainpower, he is merely educating himself, storing his mind with information, useful or otherwise. On the other hand, to read one great thought and then to think it through, to unravel it, to get at the inside of its meaning, to chew, swallow and digest it mentally, will produce increased brainpower. Thinking the thought through gives the brain the proper exercise, making the thought your own gives the brain the proper food and it gains strength and power. In truth, without reading any book at all, a man may observe life about him, and, by thinking over his observation, increase his brain-power. Indeed, this has been the method followed by those men who are the world's mental giants. Do you wish to make a simple experiment in measuring brain powers? Well, you can do it at any place where you catch people at leisure, with nothing to do; just watch and see how they do it. The best place, perhaps, is in a subway or elevated train or in any street car. You get into the car and you have a twenty minute ride before you, use your eyes on the people around. Notice that fellow doubled up in the corner seat and fast asleep with his mouth open; you will be liberal if you give him credit for more than 10 brain-power. See that young girl gazing vanly around or listly out of the window; do not give her more than 20 brain power. There are some people who are reading, according to what and how they are reading, you may mark them 30 or 40 or 50 brain-power. There is a man sitting there, oblivious to everything around him; you can see by the expression of his eyes and his face that he is thinking, thinking out some important question, weighing it np and down and deciding how he shall act; promptly mark him down 60 brain pewer. Accomplishment in life depends upon brain-power, and the magic of securing increased brain-power consists in thinking. Not in memorizing, but in thinking. Power is the power to take hold of the problems of life and reduce them to the best solutions possible. It is in a word,the power io decide. It is the power to decide questions ranging all the way from the smaller affairs of every day life to the problems of metaphysical philosophy. Brain-power is employed not alone in building a great bridge or in arguing a great law case or in writing a great book; it may be employed in running a farm or in digging post-holes. Men who possess developed brain power become the directors of men who are lacking in it and thereby their superiors. If it is necessary for one man to decide for another where and how the post-holes should be dug he becomes that man's superior. As it is with individuals, so it is with races. Those races which are today the backward races are those running on a low mental speed, They are those races that are not thinking and, so, are not developing increased brain-power. Perhaps at one time they were running at higher speed, but they have allowed their mental engines to slow down, and, as a result, they have fallen behind. How shall we increase our brain-power? By thinking. And how shall we do that? Why, simply by doing it. In most people the mind is lazier than the muscles. It is difficult to keep it on the job. It likes to loaf. It shirks and runs away. When you begin to think you will probably find that after a few moments concentration the mind is wandering off in other fields. You must take hold of it bodily and put it back to work. The oftener you do this-the less you will find that you need to do it; the mind will begin to stick to its work and enjoy it. The time will come when you will find yourself able to tackle a thought, to think if through logically and clearly to the end, and to decide what action to take. Don't be a 10 or 20 brainpower man. Make yourself a man of 30, 40, 50 or 60 brain power man. Make yourself a man of 30, 40, 50 or 60 brainpower.—Age. Negro Resorts for White Men Closed. Columbia, S. C.—Twelve houses, containing between forty-five and fifty women, resorts conducted by Negroes for white men, were visited bs Sheriff John C. McCain, accompanied by five deputies, and all of the women ordered to leave Richland County within forty-eight hours. Eight white men found in the houses were ejected. The resorts were ordered closed, the sheriff expressing the opinion that houses of this character are a greater menace to the community than "Blind Tigers." Negro Caterer Left $139,000 Estate. Philadelphia, Pa.—An estate valued at $139,000 was left by John W. Holland, the retired Negro caterer, who died last week. Jackson Elected to Newport City Council. Newport, R. I.—W. H. Jackson, for eight years assistant door keeper at the State House of Representatives, was elected without opposition in the city elections last week to the City Council from the second ward by the Republican voters. Mr. Jackson has been on City Republican Committee for twenty-seven years and is senior member of the committee. He was elected to the Council for two years. He is a deacon of Mt. Olivet Baptist church. His son, W. H. Jackson. Jr., who is a Sunday School teacher, is stock clerk for one of the leading business houses in the city. Flimsy Excuse for Lynching. Charleston, S. C.—There has been an alarming increase in lynchings throughout the southern states during the past few weeks. The bloodthirty[wretches have dropped the old cry of "rape," and murder now on the mast flimsy pretext. Last week Friday a mob near Coward (peculiar coincidence in name of town) lynched William Green, whose offence against the law was that he had looked at a couple of women. They were both turning the same corner from opposite directions. One of the women shrieked and the mob did the rest. Your Health and Prosperity During the Coming Year. er Star dependent, have been merged into The Denver Star OME XMAS THOUGHTS. URDAY, DEC. 19, 1914 While Rome burned Nero fiddled. The discordant strain from his badly tuned musical instrument mocked the groans and shrieks of the burning humanity, and the crackling of the fierce flames as they leaping higher and higher, licked up humble homes and magnificent temples. His wine-bleared eyes, his besotted brain—the penalty for debauchery—helped to wreath his face with an idiotic expression bespeaking indifference to the shrieks of burning humanity, and the crackling of the flames and the falling of fire-swept temples. These are serious times for the Negroes of this country, and we in Washington—one hundred thousand strong—are right in the torrid zone of injustice. A president of these United States, elected by the votes of the people to be president of all the citizens, native and naturalized, white and black, Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant, brazenly informs a delegation of Negroes that he approves of segregation because our skin is as God created—black. A Supreme Court, the highest tribunal in the land, flaunts into our teeth the fact that a discriminating law is unconstitutional but may, and MUST continue in full force and effect to further oppress and retard us. The doors of public places of amusement are shut in our faces; public eating houses, cafes and hotels are barred to us; the sign "For Negroes" decorates dirty foul-smelling, disease-germed railroad coaches because, and only because forsooth our skins are dark. Amidst all these flagrant, open, arbitrary, defiant violations of constitutional grants; while the President's approval of segregation is still fresh upon us—as green as a new made grave; while the Supreme Court's skillful recognition of a mere "technicality" to preclude a just and righteous decision in our favor is still being read, some of our "best people"—the presumed educated and thinking class, presupoosed leaders, and honored officials of the race here in Washington are shouting: On with the dance," and nightly the giddy tango, fox-trot and other dancing clubs and gossiping card clubs, whose membership include some of our supposed elect and elite hold high revel, and the craze for amusement and pleasure. unabated by the seriousness (for us as a race) of the times, goes merrily on. Belgians straving midst the frightful ruins of their once populous, proud and peaceful cities are today in no worse plight than is our race in this erroniously boasted land of the free. There the mad rush for pleasure, the senseless, enui-producing, passion-inflaming dance has been estopped by serious, sorrowful contemplation on the awful present and grandly heroic efforts to regain the lost. Here. in Washington, like Nero, we fiddle, and we dance, while one after anyother of our right ia swept away; while one after another of our fond hopes is buried beneath race discrimination. The merrymaking of that old debauchee who fiddled while splendid Rome burned was not half as reprehensible as the fiddling of these other fiddlers of today who fiddle—who dance the tango, fox-trot and hesitation, while all about them are the wrecks and ruins of constitutionality-vouchsa f ed rights and privileges. Pity these other fiddlers! Arouse them to the seriousness of the times! Turn dance and card clubs into rights protection bands.—Bee. The Richmond Planet says, "Mr. J. W. Mathews, a successful farmer of Effingham. S. C., has stored away over a thousand pounds of meat for his own use together with an abundance of corn and potatoes." The Chicago and Kansas City papers presented last week interesting accounts of the success of the Poro College of Hair Culture, of St. Louis. Mrs. A. E. Malone, the proprietor, is said to have over 3,000 representatives using her system of hair-dressing. Mr. W. P. Burrell of East Orange, N. J. the National Secretary of the National Negro Insurance League, an affiliation of the National Negro Business League, is conducting a national educational campaign for the purpose of securing sounder insurance protection for the race and a higher degree of efficiency among the colored insurance agents. The Fraternal Congress, a colored organization composed of representatives from fourteen colored fraternal orders, recently met in Houston, Texas, for the purpose of "unifying and simplying their rules and methods of accessment."

Ably Conducted Religious Corporation Founded 106 Years Ago Celebrates Anniversary With Series of Public Exercises and Raises $2,040—Results of Intelligent Leadership. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York—The Abyssinian Baptist church in this city, of which the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell is the capable and highly esteemed pastor, recently closed a ten days' celebration of its one hundred and sixth anniversary. Some of the most able clergymen and laymen of the race took part in the anniversary exercises. Inspiring and scholarly sermons were delivered by Revs. H. H. Warring, W. J. Lucas, W. M. Moss, W. H. Brooks, W. P. Hayes, W. H. Harrod and S. W. Timms. Mr. Watt Terry, the young real estate operator of Brockton, Mass, who is reported to be worth nearly a million dollars, and Hon. Fred R. Moore urged the race to save money and go into business. One of the features of the celebration was a recital of sacred music by an orchestra of fifty members from the Martin-Smith music school. Never before was a sacred concert held on so large a scale seen in a church among our people in this city. The pastor and officers asked for $2,000 during the celebration. Up to the fourth Sunday in November $2,040 had been reported, and some auxiliaries were to be heard from. This church has a unique and admirable method of conducting its activities. The prayer meetings, revival services and financial rallies are conducted by the eleven auxiliaries. It is the business of two of these auxiliaries to help clothe and feed the poor of the community. The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell has been the leader of this congregation for six years. During his pastorate 1,275 members have been added to the roll and $15,000 paid on the debt. In the words of Dr. Powell, "Abyssinia is the richest and poorest Baptist church among our people in the world." It is the richest because it owns about $350,000 worth of property and the poorest because it owes $134,000. In the face of this tremendous debt that would frighten most ministers to death, Dr. Powell a year ago did away with the well known table method of getting a collection and inaugurated the pledge card and envelope system instead. The change has made a marked improvement in the order and spiritual life of the congregation and has actually increased the finances of the church. The success of the change from the old system is due to the intelligence and willingness of the officials and members of the church to follow the able and wise leadership of Dr. Powell in conducting the financial as well as the spiritual affairs of the church. The deacon board, the board of trustees and the various organizations of the church each has among the members composing them men and women of influence and experience in Christian work and who vie with one another in their zeal to get the best results from their efforts. Another reason for the success of this congregation is a well organized Sunday school ably managed and whose influence pervades the entire church. The young people are not pushed back, but urged and encouraged to go forward. They are given a chance to exercise their talent and gain experience in the best methods of doing social and religious service in all departments of the church in its endeavor to reach the entire membership and as large a number of the needy in the immediate community as possible. Thus many persons have been reached through the personal efforts of the members. Still another strong lever of uplift and inspiration in the progress of this church is a well trained choir, led by Chorister Page. The music rendered by the choir is a feature of service at the public worship of the Abyssinian church which is greatly enjoyed by its parishioners. Professor Page knows how to get the best results from his efforts, and the members of the choir seem to delight in making thorough preparations for their work. All Copy for Xmas and New Years must be in the office by Tuesday. Church News --- SCOTT METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 803 26TH AVE. REV. D. SMITH, PASTOR. Preaching each Sunday at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m.

Zion will hold a Christmas morning service at the hour of 5:30. The choir will render appropriate music and the pastor will preach.

Boston.—At the suggestion of Mr. E. P. Benjamin of this city a movement to be known as the National Guardian Fund of Appreciation has been started for the purpose of raising funds with which to carry on the fight against federal segregation on account of color, which will become nation wide if not checked very soon. Mr. Benjamin acts upon a statement made in a recent editorial in the Boston Guardian to the effect that it is not a money making venture, but a public organ for equal rights and freedom. Mr. Benjamin's letter to the editor of the Guardian is as follows: 34 School Street, Boston. Editor Boston Guardian—As a personal friend of the family and an active in race agitation, but sincerely interested in the issue, which you now represent, I wish to state publicly from intimate knowledge that the colored race owes William Monroe Trotter much for the unselfish manner in which he has given up everything to work for equal rights. I know his ability to earn money and of what he has sacrificed to maintain the Guardian in money and property. You will never be fully recompensed financially. Since you struck the blow for equality at the White House the colored people understand you have not the definite debts of the paper. Only a man of remarkable business ability could have run the paper for thirteen years. These debts and ever recurring ones should be met. Hence I wish to issue this formal appeal to all lovers of freedom for a Guardian appreciation fund of $1,000, to be raised at once, national in scope, to celebrate the Wilson-Trotter incident. I personally subscribe the small amount of $25. E. P. BENJAMIN Mr. Thomas Walker of Washington has also sent his check for $25 to the fund and contributions from other friends are being received by Mr. Benjamin for the purpose herein stated. The whole race should rally to this movement in defense of its own national existence as citizens of this republic. Let Us Have Your Patronage G. C. CRAIG Tonsorial Artist BARBER SHOP C. A.

Office, 619 27th St. RACE PREJUDICE HIT HARD. Much has been written and spoken concerning the recent visit to President Wilson at the White House of a delegation of colored citizens from the National Independent Equal Rights league led by Mr. William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Guardian at Boston. Of the many newspaper editorials on the incident the following from the New York World of. ov. 13, under the caption "No Jimcrow Government," is worthy of the careful consideration of every American citizen who believes in equal justice for all the people alike and not according to race, color or creed. The World says: No president ever suffered more from the foolish indiscretions of members of his cabinet than has Mr. Wilson. He had a further illustration of it yesterday in his unfortunate interview with a delegation of Negroes who called at the White House to protest against the segregation of races in government departments. The bad manners of the chairman of the delegation, however deplorable, are no justification of the policy of filmcrow 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. Mr. Wilson told the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the Negro clerks, but explained that he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races and not with the object of injuring the Negroes. The president failed to explain, nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered necessary until Mr. Burleson and Mr. 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 under 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. Wilson refers was when Mr. McAdoo began his jimcrow proceedings in the treasury department. The president thinks that this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating and un-American in government is certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States government are servants of the United States government regardless of race or color. For several years a Negro has been collector of internal revenue in New York. He never found it necessary to segregate the white employees of his department to prevent "friction." yet he would have had quite as much right to do so as Mr. McAdoo had to segregate the Negro employees of the treasury in Washington. 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. PERSISTENCE IN BUSINESS WINS How Miss Cleo M. Gibbs Mastered Her Difficulties. TELLS A THRILLING STORY. Rose From Obscure Clerical Position to Chief Clerk In Big Business Concern. Attributes Much of Success to Doing the Little Things Well and Sticking to Her Job. Birmingham, Ala.—The story of success, no matter who the individual or what the field, is most always thrilling and interesting and commands public attention. That story must be more interesting and thrilling if the narrator happens to be an obscure colored girl, who in the very nature of things starts out in life handicapped by reason of meager opportunities and advantages. Miss Cleo M. Gibbs, the chief clerk of the Atlanta (Ala.) Special Benefit company, of which Mr. E. W. Howell is the president and manager, is one of the most efficient clerks in Birmingham and assumes with entire satisfaction much of the harassing details of the management of the big company. She is a young woman who in her own way tells how she rose from a mere machine in the work to one of the really dependable characters. "When I first entered the work as an obscure clerk the outlook for success seemed unusually dark. I could not see my way clearly. I always looked for the road to success, whatever it might be. I worked hard in school and succeeded in finishing with class honors and came to Birmingham from Meridian, Miss., Jan. 20, 1910. I was in the city about a month before I applied for work. Then I applied at the office of E. W. Howell, who was at that time the secretary of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance association. In about two weeks there was a vacancy to be filled, and my application was accepted. "At first I did not like the insurance work and experienced difficulty in keeping all the details straight—such as the difference between lapses and transfers, life schedules, what to do when one name appeared on the laps and transfer sheet at the same time, making up office books, showing the cash, the arrears, the advances and so on. "The first week seemed enough for me. I was ready to give up, but my people insisted on my sticking to the job and making good. I fully decided to quit and did so. I did not remain away from work long, however, and, summing up new courage, reported for work the same day I quit. "Starting off again. Mr. Howell would send one of the agents or the special men into the office to show me what I had to do. Each day it seemed that one would show me in a different way from another, always telling me that the other was wrong. When the state inspector came all of my work was wrong, and I had to stand the consequences because it was in my handwriting. Everything seemed to work at a disadvantage. I only knew that I was sticking to my job, and I was then fully determined to stick until things went right. "I did not get the work right until Mr. Howell told me to make no changes until he directed me to do so. Finally I was given orders to make out the summaries. I had never made any summaries, nor had I seen any made, but the secretary did not have much patience, and when he gave an order usually meant for that thing to be done. The time came for the summaries. Mr. Howell was out of town and there was no one in the office from whom I could get the necessary information. The other clerk was a stenographer and absolutely of no use to me in this emergency. I decided to look up some old reports which had been made out previously and use them as a sort of guide. This worked fairly well, and I succeeded with the task." Step by step Miss Gibbs tells how, by application to duty and through faithful and energetic service, she became more and more trusted and how later when the secretary, E. W. Howell, organized a new company she became the chief clerk. She is at the head of a large office force, directing every detail of the smooth working machinery, making no mistakes and brooking none. It is said of Miss Gibbs that she has never had a quarrel with a fellow employee and has never been late to work. She has only missed two and a half days in the time she has been with the company, one day on account of sickness and the other on account of death in the family. She is really unaware of the great success she has made and sums her remarkable story up in this language: "I had to watch the little things, for in this business it is the little things that count. I firmly believe now that I could succeed at anything. I am not ashamed of working—in fact, I rather like it and would be lonesome without something to do." High Recognition For Joseph Douglass.

PERILOUS TIMES PREDICTED Undue Persistence In Cotton Growing at the Expense of Other Products Creates Monopoly For Money Lenders—W. J. Cummings Relates Story of His Trip Through Texas. Before the end of 1915 we will see "night riding" in the south that will make the Kentucky tobacco war look like a church social, is the prediction of W. J. Cummings of Detroit, Mich. While on a business trip to Texas and Mexico Mr. Cummings wrote a letter to his business partner, F. C. Norris, which appeared in a recent issue of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette. He thinks that the south will experience grave troubles before the clearing of the acute situation forced upon the cotton planters by the war which is now going on in Europe. According to Mr. Cummings, the responsibility for the trouble rests between the tenant farmer, who does not know how to grow anything but cotton, and the Texas banker, who, it is alleged, has built up a system of usury to bleed the cotton grower through loans of 12 to 20 per cent. Mr. Cummings makes the following statement in his letter to Mr. Norris: "Among the farmers in Texas 54 per cent are tenant farmers, very largely of the nomadic, wandering type. This forces the landlord to play safe, and as it is hard to steal the cotton crop he will insist upon cotton being grown. On a 100 acre lease they will have ninety acres of cotton and ten acres of corn—no space for pasture, no garden patch, no pigs. The renter has no money, and, not growing any food, he buys everything on credit. Money loans at 12 to 20 per cent and credit supplies at 100 per cent. A very large percentage of the tenant's efforts go to pay usury. Both landlord and tenant suffer by the system. "The farmers absolutely refuse to listen to advice, but blindly continue to grow cotton. The agricultural department has been telling farmers for the last fifteen years to grow other crops. Their talk went unheeded. You will understand how grave the situation is when I tell you that there are more dogs than hogs in Texas; that out of a butter consumption of $12,000,000 in Texas she produces only about $3,000,000 herself. "I was in Athens, Tex., a few weeks ago. This would make an ideal dairying country. This town is about 4,000. Yet the restaurant keeper could buy only two pounds of butter in a whole week. This black belt valley land is absolutely the most fertile land in the world, and yet if a hog tight fence were built around this Brazos valley every person in here would starve to death in sixty days. The Texas legislature has refused to pass any law forcing the reduction of cotton acreage. Other states will follow Texas' lead because this state produces 35 per cent of the United States crop "Cotton reduction will now become a private enterprise, and before the end of 1915 we will see 'night riding' in the south that will make the Kentucky tobacco war look like a church social. We have many fancy plans proposed. Some of them are pure fancy. Take the plan of Mr. Henry that the United States issue $250,000,000 of money or something that looks like money to valorize cotton at 10 cents a pound. Did you ever hear such tommyrot? "The next agency is the bank. That term in Texas is a misnomer. The bulk of the fraternity are not bankers; they are pawnbrokers in disguise. For twenty-five years they have been educating the Texan to pay 10, 12, 15 and even 20 per cent for money. Having built up such a system, do you think for a moment that they are going to let the people down here know that there is such a thing as 5 or 6 per cent money in the whole world? "Of course the bankers down there are loaning money on cotton. They have to do so. They will make a loan of $10 on a 500 pound bale, charging 12 to 18 per cent and taking it off in advance. We are safe in assuming that no real help will come from the southern banker. The war forced the closing of 80,000,000 cotton spindles, or practically two-thirds of the world's entire cotton capacity. If 50 per cent of the English mills should be able to operate that would still leave about one-half of the world's spinning capacity idle. The present fighting is in the very heart of the French and Belgian spinning districts. "If we assume that the United States and Canada will consume during the next twelve months 7,000,000 bales, Great Britain 2,000,000 bales and allow 1,800,000 bales for the balance of the countries using American cotton we get an estimated total consumption of 10,800,000 bales for the season of 1914-15. To this add an estimated demand for 4,000,000 bales produced in foreign countries, and we have an estimated consumption of 14,800,000 bales as against an average normal world's consumption of 21,000,000 bales."

Mr. Charles Hall of 1954 Pearl street was laid to rest Sunday after a most sad and impressive ceremony. Revs. Pope, Over, Reynolds, Washington and Stephen Lowe officiated. Mr. Hall was one of our oldest and most representative citizens of Denver, a property owner, a loyal sacrificing church member and Christian. He stood high among his fellow men and Denver's loss will be heaven's gain. Surviving him were his w idow, two sons and other relatives. "As he sleeps beneath the sod, May his ashes rest in peace." 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. LODGE DIRECTORY.

Then came the battle between "Arapahoe Red" and Stanley, which was a demonstration of brain, skill and agility. Stanley won in the fourth round after both giving and taking some severe punishment. Big Bob Watkins, the veteran prize fighter and Young Kid Keyes of Texas, each respectively represented old age and science pitted against youth, strength and endurance. It did not take long for Keyes to show that he has made improvement on his former condition and knowledge of the ga e 1 Keyes had Watkins almost knocked out in the 4th round, and the gong is all that saved him. Bob began butting in the latter part of the 3rd round and continued it until he was disqualified in the 5th, losing to Keyes who had al ready given Watkins a terrible beating. The least that can be said of this event the better. Thompson came out fresh, cool and full of exube rant confidence at 10:30 p.m. while it required two repeated and determined efforts of Syl Stewart to bring out the "big Chicago boy."

Richmond, Va.—There are two distinct principles that ought to lead the colored people of Virginia to strive to make the forthcoming celebration in this city the best ever held by our people in any state. Race pride and state pride should be combined, first, because here slavery was practically ended, and, second, because this is the first southern state in which such a celebration is to be held with the sanction and help of the national government. If the exposition is a success all will share in the honor and the credit it will reflect on the race and on the state so far as its big colored population is concerned. These are facts which every member of the race should consider. Let us save the honor of the race and the state in this effort. The celebration is a national affair, not a county or a city celebration. Every organization in each county of the entire state should see to it that the feature which it is to represent shall not be neglected in any degree. The county fair associations should take the lead and merge into the Negro Historical and Industrial association in bringing about success. All secret and fraternal organizations in the state must take their proper places in the work in order to maintain their prestige and honor and in order to hold the confidence of the people as to their race pride and state pride. There is no neutral ground. There is no other honorable course. The advancement of the colored people in the state of Virginia will be measured by the industrial exhibits displayed at this celebration, whether produced by skilled or agricultural labor. The farm and the workshop must put on exhibits—the skilled mechanic, the brickmaker, the building contractor, the boot and shoe maker, the needleworker and manufacturers of all classes. There is a saying commonly used in England when speaking of the sovereign that "the king can do no evil." The reason for this was because the king always had a strong cabinet of safe advisers, who aided in shaping all of his policies, and they were not expected to allow any hurtful mistakes to be made. President Giles B. Jackson has already grouped about him in the management of the exposition many able and experienced men and women. This group will be enlarged from time to time as the work increases in volume. The celebration is to begin the first week in July, 1915, and continue for a month. SHERIDAN NEWS The Mutual Benefit Society gave their second annual banquet on Wednesday night, Dec. 9. The five long tables were beautifully decorated with American Beauty roses and carnations. An elegant repast was served, during which some of the officers and members made short talks. Mr. T. H. Newsom, secretary, introduced the speakers of the evening. Mr. Edw. Williams was toastmaster. Mr. J. A. Nathans, president, spoke on the "Origin and the Organization of the Society." Mrs. Lewis also spoke on the "Organization of the Society." Mr. Chestor Powell made a good talk on the "Segregation of the Negro." Mrs. Al. Shute made a very good talk on "Sociability." Mr. Al. Bell spoke on the "Need and Help of This Society," which was very good. A very good crowd was present in spite of the zero weather. All went home with the feeling that there was much success in the near future for the M. B. S. and that they were royal entertainers. The Second Baptist Sunday School is increasing wonderfully, twenty children and four adults being present Sunday morning. Mrs. Levi Douglas is superintendent. She is also drilling the children for an entertainment for Christmas. Rev. Levi Douglass is still in charge of the services of the Second Baptist church, awaiting the arrival of the new minister. Rev. S. R. Macquinez, who went to visit his wife at Grand Junction, Colo., is expecting to be here to preach the annual sermon of the Mutual Benefict on Sunday, Dec. 20. Rev. Seth Andrews, who has been in charge of the A. M. church while Rev. S. R. Macquinez was absent from the city preached a very convincing and touching sermon on Sunday night, the subject being "Paul's Letter to Timothy." We wish this young man godsover, who has started in the great and high calling. The A. M. E. Sunday School children are being drilled by Mrs. A. L. Shute for a Christmas Cantata to be given at the church Christmas eve. Mrs. T. H. Newsom and Mrs. I. Campbell, two of Sheridan's leading caterers, have opened a home bakery. Mr. Al. Shute is able to be up again after being confined to his bed for three days. Mrs. Martie May is still in bed, but some beter at this writing. Cottage prayermeeting was held at the home of Mrs. Edmond on last Thursday night. The Progressive Club met at the home of Mrs. L. Smith on last Thursday afternoon.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. Newell. The bride wore a white satin gown trimmed with silk allover lace and brilliants, the tulle veil and a wreath of orange blossoms and carried a bouquet of white carnations, and was attended by Miss Birdie Ellis, who wore pink satin and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. The groom was attended by Mr. Frank Fitchue. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful presents. The wedding party was entertained at a most delightful dinner immediately after the ceremony. The bride and groom are at home to their friends at 138 Thirteenth street. IT REALLY DOES RELIEVE RHEU MATISM.

Never has La Junta, Colo., experienced such a devotional fraternity spirit as was shown when Grand Master Titus S. Rector of this jurisdiction set up the new Masonic lodge Wednesday, Dec. 16, 1914. Coming as it does so near St. John's day celebration, it brings with it the peculiar significance of the Christmas spirit. La Junta's best and most representative men, among whom were the Worshipful Master, Samuel L. Duncan; Charles Smith, Senior Warden; Frank Smith, Junior Warden; J. W. Winchester, Treasurer; Archie C. Jones, Secretary. The other prominent members are Brothers John Green, Edward Saunders, G. A. McKinney, James Garth, P. H. Young and Griffin Rosebaugh. A delightful spread of hot baked spring chicken with that characteristic Ca Junta juicy gravy. Too much credit can not be given Brother E. Ramsey for his priceless work in such a magnificent organization of fine men who are all employed and have good paying jobs. The Grand Master was so tickled at his fine treatment in La Junta and his baked chicken that his regular lodge meeting night only prevented him from returning to do the job over again in La Junta. Dpation will be received by the Y. M. C. A. Charity Committee, at 2553 Washington, every afternoon this week. Mrs. W. G. Campbell is kept constantly busy making her business appointments in Boulder, Colo. She has a very lucrative hair trade there. MEETINGS OF THE CARNATION ART AND LITERARY CLUB FOR DECEMBER, 1914.
