KING. Wilmington, N. C.—That the young men of our race in this section of the country are daily becoming more interested in movements that will make for bettering conditions in the south generally is being strikingly evidenced by many in this city who have made remarkable progress in the face of great obstacles. But for a number of years commercial enterprises among them seemed to be at a standstill. This economic inertia was not due, however, to a financial stringency among the colored people, who receive wages in this city equal to that paid Afro-Americans in other sections of the south. Negroes own and conduct most excellent farms, and there is not any city in North Carolina wherein our people pay more taxes on real estate than is true of those living in Wilmington. Another encouraging feature to be considered is that as a rule the Afro-American residents are not so closely segregated here as they are in some THOMAS H. WILLIAMS. of the larger cities, but there is a tendency to keep them out of desirable sections once a member of the race moves from such a section. Skilled workmen of the race are doing well. The carpenters have held their own in this section and control much of the work in their line. This is also true of members of the race in the bricklaying trade. But the white mechanics in the lines above named have combined against them to some extent, which is strongly indicated by the fact that the majority of the white building and loan associations will not allow Afro-Americans holding shares in their associations when making loans to build homes to give contracts to Afro-Americans, but the work must be done by white men under the supervision of the association. Such discrimination aroused the better element of the race in this section, whom the Rev. Dr. Richard Spiller interested in organizing the Workingmen's Building and Loan association, the officers of which are Dr. F. W. Avant, president; Dr. Richard Spiller, vice president, and Edward Story, secretary and treasurer. When this movement was being considered one of the leading factors in the effort was Thomas H. Williams, a native of this city and a young man with broad conceptions of the possibilities of the race to succeed along business lines. He is a member of the board of directors and also a member of the finance committee of this progressive association. Mr. Williams has interested a large number of young men here in this organization. Mr. Williams is a concrete example of what the ambitious young men of the race are trying to do along substantial lines. He is vice president of the People's Hand laundry, another commendable enterprise which has recently been launched by a number of young men in this city, with Edward Story as president. He is also the treasurer of the local Y. M. C. A. Mr. Williams is a member of the Knights of Pythias and a prominent Mason. DO JEWS AGITATE AND PROTEST? A few Colored leaders, both North and South, decry agitation for manhood rights. They intimate that we must not protest against the deprivations lest we disturb the peaceful slumber and the repose of the South and increase racial friction. They say, "Let our grievances and wrongs along. They will adjust themselves." And a few of our Northern friends and sympathizers have likewise fallen into this utopian dream. It has been universally conceded that the Jewish race is a gifted race. It has produced noted financeers, statesmen, philosophers and poets, and it would be well to observe how that race submits to insults and indignities. The B'Nai B'Rith News reports the work of the Anti-Defamation League. This League objected to use of "The Merchant of Venice," in the public schools, because the play reflected against the Jewish race, and caricatured it. What has been the result of this agitation on the part of the Jews. Some school superintendents have stopped the study of the play. Magazines and newspapers, whose articles and stories enraged the Jews have apologized. Manufacturers have destroyed moving films and the theatre managers have cut out vaudeville acts which reflected on the Jews. This is what the Jew has gained by protesting and agitation and the Colored American may well profit by this example.—Guardian REV. G. E. STEVENS SPEAKS PLAINLY. REV. G. E. STEVENS SPEAKS PLAINLY. Crisis Reached when American Citizen Can't Discuss Issues with President without Offense. "Taking a view of our own land, there is one vice among many others which the American people are given to which we should never stop opposing till it is wiped out-I refer to prejudice of race." The preacher told of the White House incident when the president received a delegation of Negroes, which called to protest against federal segregation policy. He commented on the president's attitude toward the delegation "If a company of citizens, with firmness and plainness of speech, though with courtesy, cannot talk face to face with an American president concerning their inalienable right which are being trampled upon without his becoming offended, then it behooves all freemen to take warning," the preacher said. "Mr. Wilson, who has written a history of the American people, should have been proud of those Ne- THOMAS H. WILLIAMS. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 26, 1914 Can There Be Equality In Jim Crow Cars? Kentucky Supreme Court Says Yes. Upper Court of Kentucky Overrules Lower Court and Rules that "Equal" Accommodations Do Not Mean "Identical," and that One Toilet for Both Sexes is Legal for Colored Under the Law-Example of No Protection Under Separation. Lousville, Ky.—Some time ago the Colored press of the country and Colored people everywhere were rejoicing because the Christian County Circuit Court had fined the L & N. Railroad $500 for violating the separate coach law by not giving Colored passengers equal accommodations on trains with white passengers who paid no more for their tickets. This rejoicing is short lived, as the Court of Appeals of this State, on Tuesday reversed the opinion of the Christian County Court and held that "equality of accommodationr does not mean identity of accommodations. The fact that on separate coaches the Colored passengers had only one lavatory for both sexes is of no importance according to the court, which says one lavatory for the Colored passengers is in proportion to the number furnished the white passengers. Hopkinsville brought the fight encouraged and led by Phil H. Brown and his Saturday News. Intra-State Jim-Crow Car Law Upheld in Md. Annapolis, Md.—The Appellate Court of Maryland today upheld the validity of the "Jim-Crow" law. The suit was brought by James Jenkins, who refused to comply with the provisions on a car of the Washington Baltimore and Annapolis Electric railway. An appeal from the ruling of the Criminal Court of Baltimore City was taken. The law in question gives railroads operating twenty miles or more from an incorporated city in the State the right to segregate white and colored passengers. The court's opinion, which was prepared by Chief Judge Boyd, only passed on the State provisions of the statute, as it does not affect interstate passenger traffic. Jenkins will now have to stand trial on the original indictment. Jim-Crow Case Failure (The Congregationalist and Christian World, Boston, Mass.) There is encouragement but nothing more in the position taken by the United States Supreme Court with reference to the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dining and chair car accommodations only to the white race. The majority of the court declared in the opinion read by Judge Hughes that the law is unconstitutional. Unfortunately this was an opinion only, while the entire court agreed in deciding that no action can be taken on this appeal because of a technical defect the way the suit was brought. It seems that the colored people who brought the suit did not show that they had applied to the railroads for accommodations under the law, or that the railroads had notified them that they would refuse the accommodations. The effect of the decision is to leave the unjust and unconstitutional law undisturbed on the statute books of Oklahoma. But it should not be undisturbed long. Perhaps the Supreme Court is justified in treating this case as it has treated it, but long years continue to pass by with no check upon the legislation which Southern states have enacted and have succeeded in enforcing for the purpose of depriving Colored American citizens of right guaranteed by the national constitution. Last year the Supreme Court destroyed all that was left of the Civil Rights act upon grounds which some of our most eminent lawyers and jurists have declared were unjustified in both law and equity, and some trivial defect or technical excuse has been found which the Supreme Court permits to stand in the way of a definite decision establishing the constitutional rights of our Colored citizens anywhere. The rank injustice of Jim Crow laws in the South flourishes undisturbed. Other cases involving this principle of equal righs for all Americans are still pending and we hope that the highest judicial tribunal of our country will do its duty when the next opportunity comes. D. of C. Daily Sees Good In Jim Crow Cases. The legal petition to the court in the Oklahoma case was declared to be full of imperfections; but the court, while declaring that because of these imperfections it could not consider the petition, yet stated that if it was permitted to go into the merits of the case it would have held the Jim Crow statute of Oklahoma unconstitutional. There is no doubt, therefore, that when this case, or the case of any similar Jim Crow law against which the Colored people of the South complain, is presented to the Supreme Court in due and regular form, the court will wipe it from the statute book of the State that has enacted it. Therefore, although this particular Oklahoma case fallen by the way side, the bringing of the case has not been altogether in vain. The Supreme Court has served warning upon the Southern legislatures that they have gone too far with their Jim Crow laws. (Washington Herald.) That such "independent" development is impossible, out of the question, should be as plain to Mr. McDonald as the long nose on his sharp face, as there can be no separation of race groups in their political and labor rights without destroying the coequality of their citizenship and placing the proscribe group at a disadvantage such as the Negroes of the South are at in the government of the States and in work and wages, Washington, D. C., Sun.) Mortuary Roll of Press Association. Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press association, has sent out memorial cards to all members of the association containing the names of members who have died since July. They are: Professor J. M. Codwell, editor of the Western Star, Houston, Tex.; Colonel Allen Allensworth, retired army officer and editor of the Sentiment Maker, Allensworth, Cal.; Rev. N. H. Plus, D.

The cards are signed by the president, chairman of the executive committee and corresponding secretary of the association. Political Happenings in Chicago. The regular Republican organization of the Second ward, in Chicago, has nominated the Hon. Oscar De Priest, former county commissioner, for alderman. It is the first time that a regular party organization in any ward in Chicago has indorsed a colored man for alderman. RURAL DISTRICT PIG CLUBS. Nine Townships Will Co-operate With Organization In Greene County, N. C. Kingston, N. C.—Messra, C. D. Sauls, A. E. Best and Harvey Fox are promoters of the Greene County Pig club, organized in accordance with the plan recently outlined by Dr. Booker T. Washington. Already the colored people of this county are aroused and have caught hold of the idea—determined to raise at least one extra hog this winter and more next spring and thereby do what they can to relieve the stress of the present financial condition. The Greene county organization is to have a branch in each of the nine townships, and workers in each branch will make an earnest, vigorous campaign in behalf of the movement. It is predicted that more than 1,000 colored families will raise an extra plg. A conservative estimate places the combined increase in wealth of these families at more than $10,000. Notable Advance Made In Bible Study. The enrollment of the Bible school at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute up to Nov. 30 numbers sixty-two and represents an increase of 37 per cent over that of the same period in 1913. A noteworthy thing in connection with this Bible school enrollment is that, while in 1922 73 per cent of the Bible students were in preparatory classes and of the remainder none were higher than the junior class, this year 55 per cent only are in the preparatory classes and 45 per cent are distributed through all of the higher classes. FIVE CENTS A COPY. Colored Nurse Left Entire Estate By Southern Judge. Barring his relatives entirely from inheriting his estate, Charles J. Gauthreaux, late second recorder, leaves all of his property to his Negro nurse, Mrs. Juliette Victor. The will was filed in the civil district court Monday, and reads, in part, as follows: "I give and bequeath to Mrs. Juliette Victor, who nursed me so well during my two severe spells of sickness in the 1910 and 1911, all that I may die possessed of. "This is to include my personal effects, books, cash, jewelry, as well as the contents of Bank Box No. 2012½, in the Germania Savings Bank, Camp Street, as well as the lot of ground on Tonti Street, in square No. 1177, bounded by Miro Annette and St. Anthony Streets. "As my relative have known me only when they have needed me, I desire that should the said Mrs Juliette Victor die before me, my estate as above described, be divided between her daughter Georgiana, and the Little Sisters of the Poor, on Johnson and Laharpe sts., one-half each. "I desire to be buried by the Masonic Order, of which I am a member of Osir's Lodge No. 300. "Thus written, dated and signed by myself on the eve of leaving for Chicago, this Thursday, the eleventh day of September, 1913. (Signed) "Chas. J. Gauthreaux." Mr. W. M. Trotter, Editor Boston Guardian: One of our two city judges willed all his estate to a colored nurse who had attended to him during two serious spells of sickness, Judge Chas. J. Gauthreaux was a Democrat but he was very fair to the Colored prisoners and as a mark of appreciation for his kindness his funeral was attended by a group of prominent Colored who spread several wreaths from many Negro clubs upon his grave. Judge Gauthreaux was a man who knew the temper of men and how, often thro grouch, many injustices were perpetrated by those who wore the badge of authority, such as the city police. We long to see another judge of his judicial temperament to weigh both sides, as he always did, before casting judgement. His likes are few especially in our day. FRANK HALL. SR. (Guardian.)

RACE ABSORPTION THEORY. Amalgamation Is on the Increase, Says Chicago, University, Professor Chicago.—In a recent address delivered at the Grace Methodist Episcopal church in this city Dr. George B. Foster, professor at the University of Chicago, gave some very interesting views on the race question. He says in the final summing up after thousands of years there will be no pure white race in America, nor will there be a black race. "Man has been thought of in many ways throughout the ages," he explained. "He has been considered an angel by some, an intellect by others, and nowadays they are coming to think of him as a toller engaged in performing the work of the world. To him there can be no sharp distinctions of race and color. "For this reason the idea, unpopular, to be sure, but still indicated by the facts, that the races in America are amalgamating is not unwelcome to many thinkers. Let me give you an example: A year ago at a public gathering I addressed an audience which was one-third unquestionably Negro, another third unquestionably white and the rest somewhere in between. "That simply goes to show that we are now part way along in the process, which I do not hesitate to say will be accomplished in time. The black race is to be absorbed. In fact, the thing will not be so repellent in a few hundred years as it is now," he said. "As it is, those who say the relation between whites and blacks is a symptom of mental defect on the part of the whites fail entirely to consider that times without number the scolons of our best southern families have shown signs of such degeneracy. "It is not more reasonable to expect that as time goes on the more cultured blacks will more or less naturally intermingle with the least cultured whites in the south until eventually the whole process will have been completed and our race will have absorbed the other? Surely there is every reason to believe that that condition will result." Professor Foster declared that all the solutions to the Negro problem which have been offered thus far are inadequate. He scored especially the theory of geographical segregation. Annual Meeting of National League. The National League On Urban Conditions will hold its second annual meeting at the Bethel A. M.

THE NEW WAV WHITE VOL WAIT SEWED SOLES 50¢ £65¢ 1855CHAMPA PHONE MAIN 3737 TENANT FARMERS AND LANDLORDS Both Classes Face Awkward Situation In South. PERILOUS TIMES PREDICTED Undue Persistence In Cotton Growing at the Expense of Other Products Creates Morpolyp 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 to bacco 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. Let Us Have Your Patronage G. C.

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 90,000,000 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." UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DODGES DECISION Renders Opinion Only In the Oklahoma Jimcrow Car Controversy. New York.Once more the United States supreme court begs the question in an important case in which the constitutional rights of citizens of the United States are coequal, says N. Barnett Dodson in commenting on the decision of the court in the Oklahoma separate car case recently argued before that high tribunal by Attorney William Harrison of Oklahoma City. Okle. In disposing of the case for the time being the majority of the supreme court on Monday, Nov. 30, joined in an opinion that the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law proviso permitting railroads to furnish sleeping, dining and chair car accommodations only to the white race—the luxury clause—was unconstitutional, but because of imperfections in the petition on which the case reached the courts no decree to that effect was entered. Five Negroes, contending that the entire law was unconstitutional, sought an injunction to restrain five railroads in Oklahoma from enforcing it. The Oklahoma federal court dismissed the petition, holding the law constitutional. The majority of the court affirmed the dismissal because the Negroes 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 to them. The majority, through Justice Hughes, stated, however, that they could not agree with the lower court that the proviso as to sleeping, dining and chair cars was constitutional. A minority, consisting of Chief Justice White and Justices Holmes, Lamar and McReynolds, concurred merely in the order of affirmance, but expressed no views on the constitutional question. In the opinion by the majority Justice Hughes said that previous decisions that laws for separate coaches for the two races were constitutional were not questioned, adding: "Substantial equality of treatment of persons traveling under like conditions cannot be denied." RACIAL GOOD WILL SOUTH. Booker T. Washington Warmly Received at William and Mary College. By W. ANTHONY AERY. President Tyler of William and Mary college recently introduced to several hundred of his students and coworkers Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee institute. President Tyler expressed his hearty appreciation of all that Dr. Washington has done during the past thirty years to bring about peace throughout the south. He frankly declared that Dr. Washington had made for himself and Tuskegee a conspicuous name and had influenced the entire country in a remarkable degree. That Dr. Washington should have been so cordially invited to speak before the teaching and student body of this old and distinguished southern white college and that he should have received such a generous welcome on the part of young white southerners who are preparing for service in strategic positions indicate clearly the attitude of racial sympathy and cooperation which is spreading through the southland. Dr. Washington outlined the story of his uphill climb from the little cabin and the coal mine to the founding and development of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute in Alabama. The close attention and hearty applause that the young men of William and Mary college gave Dr. Washington was strikingly sincere and significant of their kindly feeling toward one who has always stood for fair play not only to his own people, but to the white race as well. Dr. Washington referred to the progress that Negroes have been quietly making during fifty years of freedom and closed his ringing address with the statement that "where the Negro has touched the life of the best white people have come WELL VERSED IN LEGAL AFFAIRS Lawyer Cerutl Makes Fine Record In the West Former Brooklyn Man of Broad Learning and Persistent Effort Wins His Laurels In New Field—Active Churchman and Member of Several Prominent Fraternal Organizations. By CHARLES ALEXANDER Los Angeles.—There is no class of men in our history who are burdened with greater responsibilities or enjoy larger opportunities for service than the well educated professional colored people of the United States. But recently this class emerged from the dangers and enthralling vicissitudes of the wilderness of ignorance into the beauty of intellectual light. The chief work of this class is to establish confidence, disarm arrogance and conceit wherever found and prove to the world that wisdom is not to be monopolized by any one class or race of people. Out here on the Pacific coast white, brown and black men are engaged in the feverish stress of competition. The supreme test is here made, and fitness JOHN H. BURGESS R. BURTON CERUTI, BSQ. is measured by success. The business man has his trials, but the perplexities of the professional man are numerous. On account of the traditional relation of the black race to the white race it was for a long time the cant of a fatuous philosophy that the Negro could never occupy other than an isolated and always dependent status in the body politic, but in this new and wonderful country the Negro is working out his destiny in such fashion as to disprove the old system of thought. While there are many examples of professional men forging to the front and winning and holding conspicuous places in the law and other learned pursuits, there is not in this section a single man who has accomplished more in his chosen field under the circumstances than Attorney E. Burton Ceruti of this city. He is admirably equipped by thorough training in the law, having broad sympathies, great tolerance of spirit and a remarkably fine personality. He has won an enviable place before the Los Angeles bar. Mr. Ceruti is generally regarded as a man of generous impulses, and his host of friends everywhere admire him. Without brag or ostentation he has been able to win 90 per cent of the cases intrusted to him since he has been practicing in this city. His methods conform to the highest standard of legal ethics and the approved methods of attorneys who entertain an exalted appreciation of the dignity of the profession. Attorney Ceruti came here from Brooklyn and was admitted to the Los Angeles bar on Jan. 12, 1912. His success has been wonderful. His training began in the public schools of Jacksonville, Fla., and in the grammar schools of Nassau, in the Bahamas. Later he studied in the St. Augustine Normal and Industrial institute in Raleigh and at Shaw university. These institutions furnished him with the elementary knowledge of things, but for his fuller preparation for the practice of the law he studied in Howard university, the Brooklyn Law school and St. Lawrence university at Canton, N. Y. From the latter institution he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of law. Mr. Ceruti is a man of high sense of honor and is a lay reader in the Episcopal church. His training and fitness for that high and important position are the result of careful study of the moral law. His sermons are convincing and are marked by a sincere belief and true eloquence. He is connected with a number of the leading fraternal organizations of the state. He is a member of Holland lodge, F. and A. M.; exalted ruler of Golden West lodge, No. 86, I. B. P. O. E. W.; grand representative of Damon lodge. No. 6, K. of P., and chief scribe of the Faben Phi fraternity. OKLAHOMA PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE Citizens of Okmulgee Praise Thrift of Afro-Americans. In Optimistic Address Well Known White Man Says Race Occupies Unique Place In Country's History. Preaches Doctrine of Character as True Measure of Manhood. By WILLIAM H. DAVIS. Okmulgee, Okla.—The high esteem in which Dr. Booker T. Washington is held by the people of both races in Okmulgee and vicinity was never more generously shown than it was on his recent visit to this town. At the meeting held on this occasion Dr. Washington was made welcome in a most timely address delivered by Dr. O. A. Lambert, who in part said: I come today as a representative of the Anglo-Saxon race to bid your people a godspeed in every undertaking that will lift them to a better, a higher, a nobler, condition of life. Whether we will it or not, you are a part of our national existence, and in the years gone by the hand of fate has linked your destiny to reveal its fullest meaning. As a people your place in history is unique. Torn from a dark continent of ignorance and superstition by the ruthless hand of greed, enslaved for 400 years by a superior race, redeemed from that bondage by treasures of money and sacrifice of the best blood of a nation and suddenly given all the rights and privileges of mankind, that you bury a place in history unparalleled and as a race stand alone. Believing in the doctrine that character is the true measure of a man, that merit is the determining factor in the scale of life and that true worth may be found under a black skin as well as the white, that no race of people is better than the white all the bad, but that the virtues and the vices flourish alike in all the races under the same conditions of life and environment—with these truths uppermost in our hearts today we can speak the message of cheer and hope to the Afro-American race. Fifty years ago 4,000,000 of your people were wearing chains of slavery, without property. But today you present yourselves with more than 9,000,000 of people, paying taxes on $700,000,000 worth of property, sustaining more than sixty Afro-American banks, having your own schools, churches and colleges, with representatives of your race permeating all branches of the industrial commercial and telecommunications nation. In the south alone there are over 30,000 Afro-American schoolteachers, where half a century ago it was a crime to teach a Negro to read and write. There are today more than 1,100 instructors in 169 academies, schools and colleges who are graduates of colleges; more than 40,000 Sunday school teachers, 5,000 men in the ministry, who are graduates from theological schools, 1,200 lawyers, 1,300 doctors and scores of editors of magazines and newspapers who are engaged in lifting the once benighted and superstitious mind of the race into the sunlight of knowledge and truth. To the question "Is the Negro capable of intellectual attainment?" you have given the affirmative by such Afro-American colleges as Wilberforce, Allen, Livingston and Tuskegee, which are graduates of theological institute as Bishop Payne, Mitchel, Erice and Rooker T. Washington. To those who think that the Negro lacks enterprise and business accumen you can point with pride to J. H. Lewis, the second largest merchant tailor in the state of Massachusetts and fourth in the United States. Born in New York, Sagamore, Mich., one of the largest lumber dealers of the northwest born an Alabama slave, or to Walter P. Hall, the largest wholesale produce merchant on Market street, Philadelphia. But why take time to specify by name? For they are legion who have here been the largest commercial field, and have shown great ability and thrift in the management of business enterprise. To those who thought the Negro lacking in ingenuity and mechanical skill you can tell, then, of McCoy, who invented the lubricator now in use on nearly all railroad engines, or Lewis H. Lewis, the New York express engineer, or the New York Electric Light company, who personally superintended the installation of light plants in the great cities of England, or W. A. Hezel, the noted designer and decorator. Some of the finest art glass in our churches today are his designs. To those who think you are devoid of culture and love of the esthetic, point them to W. E. Bannister, whose painting "Under the Oaks" won the medal at the Philadelphia exposition in 1876, or Professor Henry O. Tanner, who recently sold to the Luxembourg gallery, to the second American artist to sell his work to that institution. To those who charge that the Negro lacks physical courage and fortitude let the annals of history answer how at Fort Pillow and Cold Harbor in the war to save the Union the black troops stood the merciless fire of the enemy, and in all will forth the admiration of the whole country, or, in the Spanish-American war, with the well disciplined and fortified Spanish troops pouring a deadly fire from the hill into the faces of the black troops, with a song on their lips "My Country, This is the army," and Leland was charged up the hill and saved to the rough riders the victory of San Juan Hill. You, sir, have already proved to the world that you have the essential elements, though crude some may be, to become a self supporting, self governing race of people. Give you 400 years of American freedom, American opportunity and possibility and such will be your achievement that if it were possible for Lincoln, you would have the portals of heaven he would little suspect you were the descendants from those from whose limbs he unloosed the shackles. Napoleon once said, "I and time can accomplish all things." This was not true, but we have the faith that with patience and sober judgment in God's own good time the race problem will be satisfactorily settled, not by violence, not by transportation or segregation, not by social equality or distinction or race mixture, but along the lines of intellectual and cultural development by the equal growth of character into true womanhood and manhood. By this proof to the white race that you have character, integrity, wealth and brains prejudices will pass away like the mists before a second sun. The Denver Star | CHAS. S. MUSE, Editor. G. G.

Last Thursday evening at their beautiful home on Welton Street, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S. Conte entertained a number of their friends. The occasion was a celebration of their twenty-fifth marriage anniversary. The house was beautifully decorated—pink and green being the color scheme. Mr. and Mrs. Contee are pioneers of Denver and society turned out en masse to honor them. Many beautiful presents were received and the guests reluctantly departed for their homes, wishing the happy couple continued joy and prosperity. Miss Cleo Pryor who has been attending school in Manitou, is up spending the holidays with her parents. Miss Cleo, although only 13 years, will enter high school this year. The Star wishes the young Miss success. Mr. Howard Porter or Omaha, Nebraska, a nephew of Mrs. O. Morgan, is a visitor in our city during the holidays. The Pond Lily Art Club met with Mrs. N. L. Douglas of 1035 Mead St. Mrs. Cassell, the State Treasurer, was present and gave as usual, a very brilliant lecture from which our members derived much benefit. Mrs. M. L. Elliston was also with us, and how we wished that every ailing woman in Denver might have heard her. The lecture was grand. Mrs. Minms of Memphis, Tenn., and others were present and all felt that the afternoon was very wisely spent. The Spider Web social was quite a success. Watch the liner the next one. PIG CONTESTS TIP-TOP SUCCESS. Never has Zion Baptist church shook with such intense excitement and enthusiasm as was witnessed at the great pig contest given by the Sewing Circle of Zion Baptist church. To get an idea of the closeness of the event the winner, Mrs. Mary Washington had $8.45 with Luther Walton, $8.15, then came the other contestants finishing close. Too much credit cannot be given to Mrs. Nannie Johnson, the chairman and originator of the entertainment. The pig being donated to Mrs. Johnson, it brought $20.50 and $17.50 was cleared otherwise, making a total of $8.00, to be presented Xmas morning for the trustees of the church. Merry, Merry Xmas will be at the Bellmen's ball, for you. Admission 35 cents. A LONG FELT WANT AND MUCH NEEDED.
