Mr. Addison O'Neal's selection and rendition upon the cornet pleased his hearers and elicited hearty applause. He gives evidence of large possibilities with his chosen instrument. The Emancipation Proclamation was then read by Miss Maude Adams in a rather too soft tone, but with otherwise fine effect. Her general platform appearance and correct pronunciation pleased all who heard her. The special chorus, composed of representatives from various choirs sang an appropriate selection. Then lawyer Geo, G. Ross was called on to present the speaker of the evening. Mr. Ross introduction showed a premediated design to so introduce the speaker as to put him on record as to his attitude on questions, justice and fairness touching the race. Congressman Hilliard was equal to the occasion and after introductory remarks which gave reasons for his personal view point on the great political division and relevant facts to the event celebrated. He laid a broad foundation for justice towards all and the Negro in particular. His introductory remarks bristled with a subtle humor, but contained no sharp thrusts of wit or sarcastic insinuations. The speaker made no effort at eloquence nor did he attempt to flatter his hearers, but went forward in clean cut statements making clear his sense of appreciation of his bounden duty to all the people whom he would represent in congress and assured his hearers in no uncertain words of his intention to deal squarely with the Negro. His address and general bearing created a favorable impression, and he succeeded in doing one thing that many speakers fail to do—to convey the impression of transparent honesty of speech and purpose. Congressman Hilliard was well received and many at the close of the program took occasion to get a personal introduction to him and to thank him for—not his fine or harry eloquence— At the People's Presbyterian Church on Friday night, January 1st, gathered a respectable number of the best citizens of the community to mark the anniversary of one of the momentous events in the history of this country For say what you will, this great deed done under such dramatic circumstances was one of the epoch making events of the world's history and was as important to the advancement of the further progress of the American Caucasian and as basic to the establishment of his claim of a higher civilization as it was to the fuller development of the Negro. And so we repeat, a goodly number of the thoughtful men and women of the race assembled on Jan- Congressman B. C. Hilliard who spoke to the People's Sunday Alliance, New Year's night. uary 1st to mark the anniversary of a momentous occasion. The leaders of the community were in evidence and willingly contributed to making the occasion mean all that it should to the Negro and to aid in the permanent establishment of the custom as a fixture in the calendar of noted events. The program as arranged, with certain printed omissions of a few features, was splendid and well carried out. DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 9, 1915 TAKING HOLD. NEGRO MUST DO HIS SHARE.--NEW YEAR PLEDGE. Much as we would have it otherwise, we are compelled to confess that our most intelligent class of colored people do not bear that recognized relation to society to which their capacities justly entitle them. It is seen that with respect to the whites, the colored man has his "place," without any reference to his intelligence and what not. If a chicken is stolen or a murder committed by persons who occupy the lowest grade of colored society, the whole race becomes the subject of obloquy and the white papers fairly ring with denunciation of the colored people generally. This we know yet what body of intelligent colored ladies and gentlemen have organized to counteract it? Why should a whole race be held responsible for the act of one or more individuals? This failure on the part of the whites to classify does not result from prejudice alone. There is some other cause which forces them to look upon all colored people as a single "grade." It is the ignorance on the part of the masses of whites to the fact of the existence of large numbers of intelligent and cultured colored people in the community. It is because our intelligent colored people manifest but little interest in the matter of the enlightment of the colored people as a whole. It is because they are disposed to content themselves in the mere fact of their own personal improvement, caring but little as to what might be the condition of those around them. It is because in our selfishness we forget that our brothers are in a condition inferior to our own, that they are in need of the same tendencies and aids which were necessary to our own elevation, and that we must stand or fall with them. It is because we say to those who need our help just what their fathers have said with respect to the modes of applying the rod: "Let them do as we have done," forgetting that the same circumstances to which we owe our elevation are denied to them. It is because the colored people have not asserted their social position by taking advantage of the opportunities of contact offered by those occupying the higher grades among the whites—not by the glare of social fox-fires, but by the avenues which are freely opened to them. Now, we believe it the dnty of every member of society to do his utmost to elevate the moral and intellectual tone of the whole community. We believe it the duty of those who are able to dispense charities among the poor and destitute, disseminate knowledge as to the true aims and ends of enlightened society and in every way to encourage those who would become honest and intelligent. We believe it is the duty of intelligent men and women to make their influence felt individually and collectively towards crystalizing the various forms of relief which are designed in the main to elevate the colored people in our community. We insist that it is the duty of the colored people to originate, if possible perfect and execute plans by which they may command the interest and admiration of the whites for the furtherance of the interests of the colored people. Let the literary societies do their utmost to stimulate a desire to become intelligent among the lower classes by offering some substantial aids. Let them organize a branch lyceum running through all the different grades of society, and the influence they will certainly have upon the condition of colored people will be uniform and salutary. When the intelligent colored people have done all in their power to remove the causes which now operate against them, by applying to the poor and ignorant colored people all the available methods of improvement, when they have shown an interest equal to that of whites in the elevation of society generally, then may we expect and demand that recognition which is the reward of merit.

Interesting News Concerning the Race. Shot by White Man for Walking Down Street With Colored Woman. Jacksonville, Fla., Wednesday night, at 10:30 o'clock, Samuel Johnson, a young man of good conduct, was shot and seriously wounded by a white man for walking down the street with a colored woman. Johnson knew the young woman well and had been keeping company with her for some time. On Wednesday night they were out for a walk and a shot was fired and the man fell beside the young woman. A policeman heard the shot and saw the white man as he fired. The white man said to the officer: "I just shot a nigger who was with my wench." The policeman was "tipped" and the white man made his "get-away." This is one of the many occurrences that are going on daily in the South. White men are doing all manner of crimes to the race and nothing is done. With President Wilson openly indorsing segregation in the U.S. government offices, and white men shooting down men of the race like dogs, we ask what has become of the conscience of the Christinn people of this country. The Afro-Americans of the South call upon the people of the United States and the world to lend a hand to stay the murderous assaults of white men upon black men. The Afro-American ask that white men "consort" with their own women, break up their own homes instead of demoralizing the women of the colored race. If appeals to mayors and police officials are not considered, men of the race have become determined to take things into their own hands.—Chicago Defender. Insult to the South. Some of the Georgia newspapers say it is an insult to the South to have Leo M. Frank convicted and executed upon evidence from the lips of a black man. This man Frank has been tried in every court in the state and convicted. It is also alleged that he has made, a practice of ruining young girls who were poor but possessed pretty faces and worked in his factory. Now, since he has been convicted after the several trials, let him hang. His death will be far more honorable than the hundreds of black men Georgia has lynched without giving them a trial. If it is wrong for a black man to look cross at a white FIVE CENTS A COPE. ing News g the Race. woman in the South, it is cer- certainly wrong for a man of Frank's type to take advantage of them as he has and then kill them to silence their tongue and shame. Teacher Protests Against Color Line. Chicago, Jan. 6.—Miss Marion Talbot, dean of women at the University of Chicago, has protested against the recognition of the color line at the Wendell Phillips High school. She has written a letter to Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools, criticising the action of Miss Fanny R. Smith, dean of girls at Wendell Phillips High school, in separating white children from negro children at the social affairs of the school. Boston Clay, of Muscatine, Iowa, has invented a triple button cutting machine. It has been patented and is now handled by an eastern syndicate. It is reported that S. H. Dudley, the famous comedian and theatrical booking agent will put a mammoth tent show next season which will employ over a hundred colored people. The New York Medical Journal recently awarded the first prize, $25.00 in gold, to Dr.S. C. Downing, a graduate of the Howard Medical School, for the best essay on "The Treatment of Alcholic Cirhosis of the Liver." The Cook County Bar Association is the name of a recent organization, composed of Chicago's leading colored lawyers. George W. Ellis is at the head of the movement. Charles H. Watkins, a young colored man, is said to be one of the best salesmen employed by the Story & Clark Piano Company of St. Louis. His sales for this year will exceed $80,000 and entitles him to the annual bonus of $150.00 offered by his company. Within five years since its organization, The Royal Circle of Friends, of Helena, Arkansas, has enrolled a membership of 30,000 in nine states, and paid out to the beneficiaries of their deceased over $200,000. Dr. R. A. Williams is Supreme President. The Colored Federated Charities of Houston, Texas, were donated the use of the City Auditorium for the Christmas tree for poor colored children.

The early Christmas morning service in simple dignity and, in the spirit of reverence and worship surpassed anything we have ever known.

THE NEW WAV WHITE SWEET SOUR 50 65 HAMPTON NEW YORK, N.Y. 10237 RICHMOND WELFARE LEAGUE Associate Director E. K. Jones Encouraged by Visit to Virginia Capital. New York.-Eugene Kinckle Jones, associate director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, has recently returned to this city from an eight day visit to Richmond and Norfolk, Va., in the interest of the league's work. In Richmond the affiliated organization of the league was reorganized to cover all phases of welfare work in that city under the new name of the Richmond Negro Welfare league, with Mrs. Maggie L. Walker president and Dr. H. L. Harris, Jr., secretary. The following committees were appointed: Committee on amusement and recreation, committee on delinquency, committee on industrial welfare, committee on co-operation of agencies, committee on neighborhood work. Mr. Jones found a very enthusiastic and interested group of our people, who were receiving the sympathetic and hearty co-operation of the white people. The Richmond organization has committed itself to the employment of a director and will have the full support of the public schools and the churches of the city in carrying out its plans. In Norfolk Mr. Jones addressed the Negro Organization Society of Virginia and inspected the Travelers' Aid work of the National Urban league. which has been handled during the last year by two experienced women. He also attended other important meetings in the interest of the league while on his tour south. RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS IN QUANDARY OVER NEW ORDER Employees Hint at Attempt to Introduce Segregation Into the Service. Washington.—Consternation has been thrown into the ranks of the colored railway postal clerks of the United States by what seems to be intended as a segregation order issued by the authority of the general superintendent of the railway mail service. This order has appeared in practically all of the general orders issued by the division superintendents of the railway mail service. It is headed "Assignments and Transfers." "Promotion Order." etc. This department order injects a new issue into railway mail service circles. It likewise coins a new word as far as Uncle Sam's work is concerned. That word is "harmony." Clerks may not be promoted if such promotion will bring about "discord." In selecting clerks in charge the division superintendents are enjoined to be careful of efficiency and harmony. Heretofore it has been in the railway mail service much as it is in the army—a matter of discipline. A man had to work where he was placed. If he did not like it he could quit. But now it seems that if there is a crew of three or more men and one of them happens not to be in "harmony" with the others the unfortunate one must be transferred, and the order gives the superintendent power arbitrarily to transfer such person regardless of his desire in the matter. The following excerpt is taken from the last paragraph of one of the orders referred to: "Where for any cause conditions in any railway postoffice or office are such as to create discord * * * transfers shall be made with a view of relieving such conditions." It is said that this matter is being brought to the attention of members of congress and the senate and will be brought to the attention of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, with a view to remedying such mischief as may be worked toward colored clerks by some few subordinate officials who may take advantage of the provisions of this order to work out practical segregation in their districts.

MAN OF WIDE EXPERIENCE Interesting Career of Brilliant Young Clergyman Who Has Done Creditable Work In Many Fields of Labor. Well Known In Secret Societies as a Zealous and Safe Leader. Richmond, Va.—The recent turn in the affairs of the grand fountain, United Order of True Reformers, resulting in Grand Worthy Master Floyd Ross' disappearance and suspension from his office by the board of directors of the organization, has brought before the country a young man eminently fitted to guide this fraternity on to unprecedented success. The matters that have made the organization the cynosure of the eyes of those interested in its remarkable JOHN H. HARRIS REV. S. S. MORRIS, B. D. effort to rehabilitate itself are quite vital, but not of such import as to hinder it in its work for the future. Such capable and trustworthy men as Grand Worthy Treasurer Dr. William Smith and Grand Worthy Secretary Maurice Rousselle, who have proved their ability, have the confidence of every Afro-American who believes in "native ideals," and the other prominent people composing the present board of directors will certainly gain the approbation of the fraternity and the friends of some in every section of the country in electing Rev. S. S. Morris, A. B., B. D., of this city as the chief executive of the order. The new grand worthy master was born in Portsmouth, Va., and is well known throughout this section of the Old Dominion. His mother, Mrs. Lucinda Morris, was a Sunday school teacher for nearly fifty years in the Emanuel A. M. E. church at Portsmouth, Va., and the Christian environment of Dr. Morris was such that he was converted at the age of fourteen years and became an energetic worker as a Sunday school teacher and president of Allen C. E. league. He received his elementary education in the public schools of Norfolk county, Va.; Providence, R. L., and Washington. He was licensed as a local preacher in 1890 and joined the Virginia conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church in April, 1901. He was later transferred to the Atlanta (Ga.) conference in December, 1901, and received his first appointment as pastor of West End A. M. E. church, Atlanta. He exhibited such fine ability at the West End church that he was appointed to the Thomasville church, in Fulton county, in 1903, and the following year he was made superintendent of the industrial department of Morris Brown college, Atlanta. In June, 1905, Rev. Mr. Morris returned to Virginia as pastor of Tanner's Creek circuit, Norfolk county. Dr. Morris is now serving his fourth year as pastor of the historic Third Street A. M. E. church, this city. He has remodeled this church at a cost of $15,000 and during his administration has added 150 to the membership. He is recognized in this city as a born leader and is foremost in any movement making for the betterment of conditions among our people. He has done a remarkable work as president of the Civic league here. In fraternal circles his advice on important matters is most always sought. He is a member of the grand lodge of Masons of Virginia and chaplain of the Second regiment uniform rank of Knights of Pythias. He was formerly a member of the board of directors of the fraternity of which he is now the head. Wherever he pastors he encourages and stimulates literary endeavors among the people. He is now secretary of the Social Study club of Richmond, which is a credit to the Afro-Americans of Richmond interested in the advancement of the race. It is the consensus of opinion among the betterment of both races in this section of Virginia that he will put the True Reformers back on the right track. His knowledge of conducting large organizations was evidenced at the general conference of his church when it met at Kansas City, Mo., and again as one of the trustees of Kettrell college, North Carolina. FRONT LINE WORK FOR THE MASSES Some Good Results Obtained In North Carolina. INFLUENCE OF THE LEADERS Number of Persons Interested In Improving Conditions In Rural District During the Past Year Is Encouraging—How Professor Wesley Jones Worked His Way to Prominence. Burgaw, N. C.—The number of men and women of the race in this section of the state who are doing real constructive work among our people in the rural districts, towns and villages increases from year to year. They are persons of Christian character and influence who make great sacrifice of time, talent and such means as they have to assist the more unfortunate among them to better their condition. During the past year much has been accomplished in this direction through the various organizations and by the personal efforts of individuals who are doing real front line work among the masses. Among the leaders in such constructive work is Professor Wesley Jones of this town. Although Mr. Jones is modest and very unassuming, he is one of the prominent factors in the ground lodge of Free and Ancient Accepted Masons of the jurisdiction of North Carolina. He is widely known in fraternal and religious circles and bears the esteem and respect of all classes in his home town and in the rural districts adjacent to Burgaw. Adverse circumstances have made many men like Professor Jones become pillars in the civic, economic, educational and religious movements of our people in the south. In New Han- M. PROFESSOR WESLEY JONES over county, where Professor Jones was born, there is a large number of successful farmers and business men who had to struggle at an early age because of the death of one or both parents and who were trained by a godparent like the one who inspired Professor Jones by her life to the extent that he was converted at the age of seven and eventually has become one of the leading laymen among the Baptist denominations of this state. For seventeen years he held the position of church clerk and gained the unique distinction of being a zealous worker in the Sunday school, having missed only one Sunday in attendance in twenty years. Like this interesting character, many of our progressive men had to educate and support five or more sisters and a widowed mother. This is a fine tribute to the class of Afro-Americans who are opening up larger opportunities for our young people. With these responsibilities upon him young Mr. Jones finally entered Whitin Normal school at Lumberton. N. C., and each year when he returned home from this institution he succeeded in getting a higher grade teacher's certificate until he held a first grade one, and yet he pursued his studies with his characteristic ardor and taught school for twenty-four years and inspired hundreds of young men and women who have purchased fertile farms and built comfortable homes for themselves. He owns three of the leading business brick buildings in this town and has a pressing establishment, with steam cleaning and pressing machines, and a well appointed barber shop, and he also conducts a restaurant. He has a large farm and 164 acres of fine forest land. Professor Jones is a strong supporter of the Burgaw Normal and industrial school here and is financial agent of the Northeast Cape Fear Baptist Sunday school convention, which is an effective agency at work for the uplift of the race. Owing to her exceptional qualities and business tact the influential wife of Professor Jones has been quite a factor in his useful career, and these two persons are doing much in helping the young Afro-American to find his opportunities by thrift and industry. GOOD BUSINESS IN JACKSONVILLE Florida Metropolis Affords Our People Fine Chance. STATE LAWS ARE LIBERAL Former Auditor For Navy Department Makes Encouraging Report on the Progress of the Race In Sunny South. Finds Many Thrifty and Some Very Wealthy Individuals. Jacksonville, Fla.—In many ways this city more clearly emphasizes the progress that is being made by the race in the south under the most trying handicaps than any other city. First, it is blessed with a white population that is not so overly charged with race prejudice as is found in many parts of the south. Secondly, among its 35,000 colored population it has a fine representation of men and women who have the determination to succeed. The laws of Florida do not deny the race the right of suffrage, and freedom from restrictions in this respect to some extent ameliorates conditions. However, in spite of this fact it must be admitted that too many of the race in this city and state are indifferent to the matter of exercising the right to vote. Proportionately, there are just as many whites in this state who do not vote. This indifference, whether among whites or blacks, is bound to serve as a handicap to the best possible progress, educationally as well as materially. The 35,000 colored people in Jacksonville own $1,000,000 in real estate; they have invested in business $400,000 and have on deposit in the several banks $250,000. These possessions, with approximately $250,000 in personal property, stocks and bonds, bring the total wealth of the colored people of Jacksonville up to $1,900,000. Here, as in other parts of the south, I find to a regrettable extent higher and better education subordinated to a desire to amass wealth, the belief prevailing that material possessions—lands and cash in bank—will eventually prove a panacea for race discrimination and segregation. The A. M. E. normal school is doing splendid work, and the enthusiasm manifested by pupils and teachers from the president down is most encouraging for the hope that the race in Florida will yet awake to the belief that if the highest and best education is desirable for the children of other races it ought to be desirable for those of our race. The M. E. school, inappropriately called a college, is presided over by a white minister, who, judging from the unkempt condition of the building on the day 1 visited it and the apparent lack of enthusiasm on the part of the pupils, is content to draw his salary alone. The work of this school, the attendance and the interest manifested reflect no credit on the M. E. church and contributes but little to the advancement of the race. There are 110 colored teachers in Jacksonville, including the public and endowed schools. There is a total of fourteen schools open for the education and guidance of colored youth six days in the week, but there are sixty churches to conserve the spiritual welfare of the race open only one day in the week. Jacksonville, like many other cities, has too many churches and ministers to support. Some of these churches are presided over by able ministers, who are doing a grand race work, notably the A. M. E. church and the Institutional church. Some are simply existing for the benefit of poorly equipped pastors. Due in a large measure to the resourcefulness and organizing ability of Benjamin J. Davis, Atlanta, Ga., possesses the largest and finest Odd Fellows' temple in the country. Jacksonville possesses the largest and finest Masonic temple in the country, a $105,000 building. This city has two of the best informed insurance men to be found in the south in the persons of A. L. Lewis and A. Price, who have made a splendid success. The largest sea food merchant in the country is located here, about ten members of our race being employed by the concern Mr. Charles Anderson, the proprietor, is also one of the most consistent race men I have ever met. He is founder and head of the only banking institution in this city conducted by our people. This is the home of J. H. Bldgott, the big—both in avoirdupois and scale of business transactions—real estate man, who has in past years contributed more to advertising throughout the country, Jacksonville, Fla., than any one single person. Some fifteen years ago Mr. Bldgott was working as a laborer for $1 per day. Now he totals his possessions in six figures. There are two department stores in this city, owned and conducted by colored men, one by Richard Anderson and one by John L. Harrison. There are eight colored lawyers, twenty-two physicians, four dentists and four or five pharmacists to form Jacksonville's professional class. One of the largest and most complete pharmacies owned by a colored man in the country is to be found in this city, operated by Dr S. M. Pplayer. One of the most successful millinery and ready to wear clothes stores in the country is that of Mrs. S. D. McGill. The Denver Star CHAS. S. MUSE, Editor.

If Sells-Floto Circus was going to give a free exhibition on the campus of the State Capitol, The Star ventures to say hundreds of Negroes would be found there, "looking on and looking around." They would practically receive little or no real benefit for the expenditure of their effort. Last Friday at noon was the day when both administrations received their New Year callers—the day of the change of our state government. Italians, Belgians, French, Germans, and Japanese were there to pay their respects to the newly elected governor and get acquainted with him so that if, in the future, they needed to call upon him for anything they could have the pleasure of knowing him. One lone Negro from Colorado Springs and one layman and one minister of Denver, besides two or three women of color, were all the Negroes who visited the governor's office New Year's day. Out of 15,000 or 20,000 Negroes in this state, think of such a miserable showing! This gathering was the greatest in Colorado's history; men of great and small affairs from all parts of the state came to pay their respects and pledge anew to the governor their moral support. Where were our representative men? Where were our lawyers, doctors, ministers of the gospel, our business and tradesmen and our farmers? Where was the Republican Club of 300 members to bring the governor glad tidings? Where was the Women's Republican Club and its members? Are we after loaves and fishes? If Gov. Carlson wanted a doctor for a medical position in the state, if he should desire to appoint a minister to the pardon board, if he should want to talk quietly with some representative Negro touching the interest of our race, e.g., farming, colonizing, etc., or advise with some business man of color, where would he have to go to find one, or some? To his butler, maid, his janitor or enquire of some newspaper as to who is who? Mr. Colored Man, we must wake up; we have been asleep too long; we are too clanish, timid, and not broad and cosmopolitan enough. We are out of line because of our own stupidity. The New Year's day belongs to every citizen and it is well to let the governor know then that we feel he is Our representative as much as any Greek, German, Jap or Belgian. Mr. Young Negro, will not a grave responsibility such as this concern you more than some trivial pleasure? You must lead off. You must direct the movements and affairs of the older people. We trust that the Colorado Negro will not be "out of line" again. Will it always be said that the Negro delegates can only be seen and heard from when a Negro is sentenced to die or when we are job hunting or trying to defeat some person seeking a job? Where is our state pride engendered by our living in the state and loyalty kindled by our desire to have Colorado the very best state in the Union, and our never-dying patriotism to really make this state government of the people, for the people and by the people? Colorado is now and will be what the Negro will make it, or allow others to make it. Push in and accept the responsibilities, along with the benefits. As long as Negroes live in this state, this state government is not complete until it takes the Negro into account. The Star believes in fighting every inch for our civil and legal rights; but we also believe in doing and bearing our state, civic and public responsibilities. You are not a good citizen unless you do. If ever the Negro politician, Negro business and professional man, Negro women's clubs and their kindred societies; if ever these organizations stood for anything of worth and stability in this community and desired to show it, let them be on hand Tuesday, Jan. 12, at the State Capitol when the governor of this state is inaugurated. Sprinkle the gallery and the down stairs with black faces; let the Caucasian know, feel and understand that you still believe as much in this state government after election as you did before. Let them know that you are deeply interested in this administration and want them to carry out in action the principle, "the right to live," which means "the right to work."

HILLIARD SPEAKS Plainly and Firmly Supporting Human Rights for all. Says "All Americans can be free and equal without danger to the Republic." No prejudice nor pressure at Washington will make him forget his Negro constituency. Alliance holds biggest and most enthusiastic meeting for years. To the People's Sunday Alliance is due great credit for having such a man as our next congressman to speak to us and tell us as best he can what we may expect of him in Washington. Denver witnessed a new scene, an unusual spectacle, when the Presbyterian church was comfortably filled with race men and women and representatives of the white people. After singing "John Brown's Body" and reading the Emancipation Proclamation, the spirit of freedom and brotherly kindness and consideration reigned, filling the room with patriotic inspiration. The faces of the audience were radiant with racial fervor and enthusiasm, for real encouragement had possessed the gathering. Beginning his speech with words something like these: "No race who constantly and continuously celebrates its birthdays, its great days which marked great experiences and crises, can ever be perpetually subjected or made inferior," Congressman Hilliard, a rare spirit for his party, voiced the encouraging message of the strong, dominant Caucasian; and in word and prayer and song came back the assurance that the swarthy brother had caught the note of equality, justice and uplifted citizenship and was hopeful of his progressive history and ultimate destiny in this country. Congressman Hilliard, after briefly reciting the many conditions through which the Negro had passed to get to his present status, dramatically referred to the scriptures, "God hath made of one blood all nations of men," Acts 17:26; "and Malachi, when speaking for a company, said, 'Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against the other?" His spirit of fairness and plain talk ringing with so much sincerity simply thrilled the audience. He then touched upon the segregation, caste and prejudice in Washington, if any existed, and assured his hearers, just as he had been fair and square with them in the past, no prejudice nor pressure of anybody could make him do his fellow man an injustice. Here the audience gave him a great ovation, and after his speech many old men and women took his hand and fervently shaking it, said they would pray that God would cause him to act upon every occasion in the future just the way he talked to us New Year's night.

New Year's day found a goodly number bringing glad tidings, joy and cheer to Mrs. Sarah Thomas, whose husband had formerly belonged to that honored body. Mrs. Thomas of 2640 Arapahoe received the "Jolly Odd, Fellows" in her cozy home and made them thoroughly at home when the toastmaster, Sir GEO. S. Contee, began his speech of New Years greetings.

The Odd Fellows' "ode of good cheer" was happily sung and then came the refreshments which were peculiarly unique to Odd Fellows only. Mrs. Thomas responded only after she had shed tears of gladness because of the true sympathy, sincerity and remembrance of her by her devoted brothers. "Mother" Thomas truly belongs to the Patriarchy and asked the boys to continue to spread the good news and glad tidings in every day life as well as on New Years. Three cheers and an Odd Fellow "tiger" were given and the party left happy. Mrs. Thomas responded in the words of the author: If you think you've missed the mark, "Use a Smile." If your life seems in the dark, "Why Just Smile." Don't give up in any fight; there's coming a day that's bright; There's a dawn beyond the night, "If You Smile." In the county court files No. 17512 the will of Mrs. Eliza Mason appears; if you care to read it for yourself, just gq and ask to see the will so you can read it. Harvey Riddell is the administrator. This is a public office and the clerks are very accommodating. See the will and then you are prepared to discuss the matter correctly. Keep off date, it's hot.

THE MASONS ECLIPSE ALL RECORDS. If the names of the committees in charge of the Masons' annual entertainment could be secured and published to the world, they would justly bear the name of record breakers. Last Tuesday night at East Turner hall, the old familiar hall was packed to the door. Every Mason was out with his square and compass dealing out a good time and holiday happiness to their guests, numbered by the hundreds. Not an unpleasant word nor loud nor boisterous talking was experienced, nor even heard during the whole evening. Morrison's orchestra kept the crowd keyed up to "G sharp" in the holiday musical cleft, and at 3 a.m. the merry dancers were reluctant about leaving. The Denver Star certainly publicly congratulates Rocky Mountain Lodge F. & A. M. on their mammoth success. Every man on the committee deserves to feel highly honored by his appreciable work in pulling down such a huge victory. Mrs. J. S. Stewart and grand-daughters, Ernestine and Josephine McClain, have returned home from an extensive trip in Chicago, Nashville and St. Louis. Mo. While away, receptions, dinner parties and many social honors were given for them by friends and relatives, making their visit one long continuous round of pleasure. Mr. Wm. Crummer has received word from his mother and brother for him to come home to them. He may go if the doctors will permit. He has had a partial paralytic stroke. Mrs. J. Wesley Jones left Wednesday night for Omaha. She will also visit her brother in Indianapolis. Mr. C. FO Horn, after an illness of seven weeks, is out again. Mrs. A. J. Watton returned last Monday after a six weeks visit in Omaha visiting her sister, Mrs. Ethel Woods. GIVE XMAS SUNDAY DINNER In Honor of Mrs. Emma A. Anderson of Wilberforce, O. Among the many notable social events during the Xmas holidays, the beautiful dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. G. Campbell and their charming daughter, Allene, in honor of Mrs. Emma A. Anderson of Wilberforce, Ohio, deserves special mention because of the bountous repast so skillfully prepared and the artistic and exquisite manner in which the table and house were decorated. Green and red were the Xmas colors and the table groaned with the choicest delicacies of the season. The large turkey was cooked to a "teasing brown" taste and every dish served called for more. Several friends of the family were invited to meet the guest of honor and all departed with joy, saying unto themselves, "it was good to be there." "P. A." Miss Ruth Floam celebrated New Year's eve by entertaining her friends at a theatre party, after which a most delightful Dutch lunch was served at the home of her parents. The happy guests then played cards till the wee hours of the morning. Miss Nettie Coleman of San Francisco is home visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Elliston, of 425 Milwaukee. Mme. Azalia Hackley is in Denver for a few days' rest. Welcome home, madam. Mr. Elsner Marshbanks of the Denver Star office force is among the sick this week.

HARRISON, MR. W. H. PRITCHETTE, REV. D. E. OVER. "WHY JESUS WAS A MAN AND NOT A WOMAN." This book, which is just from the press, is the third book by Mr. Tapp, in which he interprets the Sex-Law of the Bible. His first book on the subject, "The Truth About the Bible" came from the press about two years ago. About a year after that, his second book, "Sexology Of The Bible" followed. In these books, Mr. Tapp contends that all sin of the Flesh is in the Sex-Senses and that is the reason that Jesus did not have a natural father. He is a lawyer and has done a great work for the inspiration of the Bible and the Divinity of the Christ. He has answered all the school of the Ingersol's, etc. He shows that the fall of man was a matter of the Flesh and the Sex and that the Christ had to be conceived without a natural father in order to be the perfect man and Redeemer of the world. His idea is, The Law of Sex is the Key of the Bible. The idea is arresting the attention of the great thinkers of the world. The books may be secured by addressing Sidney C. Tapp, Kansas City, Mo. They should be in every home and library of the world. January 13, Mrs. J. L. Rice, 2515 Clarkson St. January 20, Mrs. Chas. W.

"The Sexology of the Bible, the Fall and Redemption a Matter of Sex"—$2.00. By B. DINEY C. TAPP, Ph. B. Mr. Tapp has also in preparation, "Why Jesus Never Married"—$2.00. "The Bible, a Law of Spirit and a Law of Sex"—$2.00. These books show that the law of sex is the key to the Bible and that all sin, disease and insanity is in the sex and that is the reason that Jesus did not have a natural father. They are world books and are arresting the attention of the great minds of the Christian world. They should be in every home and library in Christendom. You should have them. Address Sidney C. Tapp, 406 Briallidge, Kansas City, Mo. WHAT WE SPEND ANNUALLY. Would Put Race on Independent Business Basis, Says Economic Writer. Under the caption "Can the Negro Feed Himself?" the writer on economic subjects at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute makes the following statement: The Negroes in America spend about $600,000,000 a year for food. This estimate makes due allowance for those who are employed as domestic servants and get a portion of their food without actual cost. If you take your pencil and begin to figure over this enormous annual outlay you reach some very alarming conclusions. In the first place, food products offer the retailer an average profit of 25 per cent, and 25 per cent of $600,000,000 is $150,000,000, or the amount of profit made from the annual food expenditure of Negroes. Suppose we go further with our figures and distribute this $150,000,000 among, say, 20,000 retail establishments. We will find that we can pay each proprietor $2,500 per year, give him a bookkeeper at $1,000 per year, a clerk at $40 per month, a delivery boy at $20 per month, a horse and wagon and still have a balance of $50,000,000 for rent, heat, light, advertising, extension and other incidentals. And here is employment for 100,000 people. But our figures must not stop here. These 20,000 retailers must spend $450,000,000 a year for goods, and these goods come from wholesalers, commission merchants and manufacturers. Granting 10 per cent profit to the producers and necessary middlemen, we have the handsome sum of $4,500,000 each year which could be distributed among say fifty factories and 200 wholesalers and commission merchants, each earning an average yearly profit in excess of $20,000. This annual profit would be divided among proprietors, managers, traveling salesmen, city salesmen, clerks and laborers, giving employment to about 50,000 more people. Thus we see that if the Negro undertook to feed himself we would have fully 20,000 successful business enterprises, would circulate among the race $154,500,000 each year in salaries and wages and provide lucrative employment for at least 150,000 colored people. GETTING IN LINE FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS. Forecast of Plans For Meeting at Birmingham, Ala., Next June. Nashville. Tennessee. Once more the announcement is made by Secretary Henry Allen Boyd of the Sunday school congress that the forces are lining up for the 1915 meeting. The sessions are to be held at Birmingham, Ala., from June 9 to 14, inclusive. The secretary's office is a beehive of activity. Letters are pouring in from every section of the United States. The Sunday school workers are planning and working to have increased delegations. All of the front line Sunday schools, many of them having been made so by their connection with the congress, seem to never tire of telling of the advantages offered by the organization and the encouragement brought about and the enthusiasm engendered by the regular meetings of the Sunday school congress in the past. The secretary announces that four brass bands have signified their intention of serving the congress forces in the Birmingham meeting. The first to give notice was the Boy Cadet band of Philadelphia. This musical aggregation is connected with the Zion Baptist church, pastored by Rev. Elbert W. Moore, D. D. It is regarded as one of the most efficient musical organizations before the public. The next is the Tuggle Institute band of Alabama. While this is a school aggregation, it is made up of boys that have made good. The third is the regular cadet band from the national cadet headquarters at Austin, Tex. General Crawford and Lieutenant General Lott both said that these boys would come along with the regular battalion that is to be brought out of Texas. The fourth is the National Baptist Publishing Board band that made such a successful hit in piloting the Sunday school congress special train on its way to Muskogee. The Sunday schools have already begun to elect their delegates, and departmental conductors have agreed to bring their departments up to a higher order. The announcement of the reduced rates, declares the secretary, is to be made earlier this year than heretofore in order that there might be a special lineup and more special train features. The state of Oklahoma is the first state thus far to announce a special train. They declare that they will leave Muskogee with a full train and pick up more delegates en route to Birmingham, where they hope to reach with a larger special train than has ever been engaged by any religious body of the kind. Big Field For Our Music in America. Speaking of music composed, sung and played by our race, James Reece Europe of New York, leader of the now famous orchestra which bears his name, says: "I firmly believe that there is a big field for the development of Negro music in America. We already have a number of composers of great ability, the two foremost being Harry Burleigh and Will Marion Cook. Mr. Burleigh is remarkable for his development of Negro themes, and Mr. Cook is a true creative artist." A New Dining Room now in connection with the Keystone Club.
