Commits Crime Then Accuses Negro. Because he needed money to pay a furniture bill was the reason given in the police today by William R. Stone, janitor of the public library at Takoma Park, as to why he stole $14.81 from a drawer in the place early yesterday morning and then informed the police that a colored man had been in the library. Detective Webber of the tenth precinct told Judge Mullowny that Stone admitted to him that he took the money, and also stated he had cut his arm with a pen knife so that his story of an encounter with a coioired man would seem plausible. Rebecca P. Warner said the money which was taken from the drawer belonged to her. Stone admitted the charge, and then said he needed the money to pay a furniture bill and took it for that reason. The court imposed a sentence of six months in jail. The University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania has added a large collection of curios from Central Africa; It includes war weapons, ornaments for men and women, baskets and cloth. According to the Philadelphia Tribune, the collection is very unique and shows "that these primitives were skillful workers and had considerable sense of beauty." Bourne's Pharmacy, of Atlantic City, New Jersey, was one of the prize winners in the contest recently conducted by the Welch Grape Juice Company for the best window display. The League Enterprise, of Kansas City, Missouri, is doing a splendid local and mail order business this season. They are "Disseminators of Negro Art and Literature" and have extensively advertised their goods as suitable and appropriate Christmas gifts. Mr. Hugh T. Lowery, formerly steward and chef of the Pasadena Country Club, has opened a catering establishment in Los Angeles, Cal. He is reported to have installed a very fine equipment. The Colored Graduate Nurses of Indionapolis, Indiana, have organized and perfected a system of city service by which they supply nurses on an hour's notice. Mrs. E. P. Sykes is president of the association: --- Sengalese Braves Suffer. London,—Troops from the tropics are suffering intensely from the cold in their positions in the Belgian trenches. This is especially true of the Sengalese. In many cases their toes or feet have been frozen so badly that amputation has been necessary. "In one hospital I saw Sengalese operated on without the use of an anesthetic," said Mrs. Floyd. "Their toes had been frozen and immediately amputation was necessary. "All the toes of one Sengalese were removed without even a groan from him. Suddenly he leaped from the operating table and began searching for something. The doctors and nurses could not discover what he wanted. He found a pipe, filled it, and lay down, smoking to deaden the pain. Then he began to pray in a low voice. Presently a nurse offered to bring luncheon to him, but he refused. He walked to the convalescent's table, where he ate with his friends. "The courage and heroism of these men is simply beyond belief. They never complain. They always urge the nurses to attend to others. But their sufferings in the cold climate are pitiful." Races Must Eat in Birmingham, Ala.,—Restaurants and lunch counters which have heretofore catered to both white and colored trade will be compelled by a new law to either cater to one race solely, build partitions in their places of business, or go out of business entirely. Judge A. O. Lane, city commissioner in charge of the police department announced that the owners of these places would be given a week or two in which to conform to the law. He thinks the law will be obeyed without resistance.—Age. Negro Shriners of Georgia Face Fight Atlanta, Ga.,—The hearing of the injunction proceedings instituted by white Mystic Shriners against colored Mystic Shriners is scheduled tobe heard in the Superior Court next Wednesday. As the validity of various branches of colored Masons is to be attacked, it is likely that the case will finally reach the United States Supreme Court. Age. Immigration Bill Passed by Senate, Vicious Measure. Colorado Senators Ring True. Premeditated and Studied Attack Against Negro. What Next and From What Source? In speaking of the immigration bill now before Congress the Indianapolis News, Monday, January 4th, stated our views very clearly. We think, as it does, that the tests, literacy and otherwise, are sufficient for the Negroes without the special legislation of Negro exclusion. The News said: We can see no reason or justice in excluding Negroes, not as illiterates, but simply as Negroes. The amendment to that effect is the work of Senator Reed, of Missouri. It ought not to prevail. The principle is inconsistent with that on which the bill is based—that is, that the literacy test is sufficiently exclusive. Now it is proposed to say that even those Negroes who can read and write shall be excluded. This is to subject them to an added burden, and to deprive them of a right which others would enjoy. It was to avoid just such discrimination as this that the literacy test was agreed on. The anti-negro amendment should be defeated. fail as it should. There is absolutely no necessity for such legislation. Why strike at ten million people, throwing them into the class of pronounced undesirables, when there is no sign of a race menace as it concerns that people. In event the African hordes threaten, Congress will not have become palsied. It is as much important to do things that make for peace at home—present peace—as to make effort to thwart future disturbance—more so. The present we know. The future is uncertain. To build to it at the expense of the present will be a certain calamity; while the future is purely speculative. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 16, 1915 The reading public and the courts are confronted with a wearied fiasco in Detriot. Mich., over the question of the black race. It appears that one Arthur Little, a wealthy white man, was married a year ago to Alma Wade who is described as a golden-haired blonde, with beautiful gray eyes, but who he now denounces for having, as he says Afro-American blood in her veins, and on that ground he is suing for a divorce. Mr. Little, perhaps, may not know that to hunt up the ancestry of an individual is a dangerous thing and full of unexpected surprises, and that, if cheerfully searched, he might not only find his convict forefathers and wanton foremothers, but farther back he would surely find, the rudest of barbarians, and that he who claims to be a member of the Anglo-Saxon race, has only to thank God for the law of changes which has made it possible for him to improve upon that type, which was then a mixture of Celts, Goths, Danes and Saxons; hence there is no race superiority in existence and if we ask what is white, we can only say that it is a term used to designate the absence of color and that is all, and no sign of race purity so far as blood is concerned. Mrs. Little, we hope, will be granted an absolute divorce from her husband as it is easily seen that he is not a fit man for any good woman to be tied to, regardless of color. Advocate. It is hoped that if the amendment carries that it will be struck down when it reaches President Wilson. In hoping this we will forget all about the President's stand on segregation for the moment Practically the Negroes are not hurt, since but a few come to this country from the islands, and none from Afrika worth mentioning. And for that reason Mr. Reed should have been charitable enough to have permitted the race to slumber as best it could without this further disturbment. In fact, we see in his action marked cruelty, placing us on the rack, tearing wounds afresh, and all so unnecessary. As a thing of principle we are greatly hurt if our government objects to the best qualified Negro entering the country when that qualification is the same as that of others who are permitted to enter. We are not in for the savages of Africa jumping into our civilization any more than the bitterest anti-Negro agitator. We can, however, conceive of highly qualified Negroes coming from abroad now and then, and who, according to their education and standing should not suffer owing to race. We think our country should be the last one to put up such barriers. We think our Congressmen should hail it as a delight to legislate generally and still get the special results expected. The tests equal Negro exclusion. Why go further? The Great Cosmopolitan Negro race is so good and so generous, as to sincerely wish Mrs. Little success in proving herself white and it will aid her if necessary. It is to be hoped that we are not to be made ashamed of our government owing to stupidity; it is that, and more, when it assails a people merely because it is possible to do so, and especially as it concerns us with our peculiar history and present standing. The Negro race does not want any person, classed as Negroes, who are not, and who prefer to be something else. It will be admitted that the government when dealing with those coming into the country are not bound by judicial niceties. Congress can do as it chooses. Yet, it will be observed that it has sought to be uniform in the application of the tests as per the bill now pending before that body. It has sought to be uniform as it concerns others than Africans. In the case of the Belgians it has been exceptionally favorable. We do not object since these people have been maltreated, and deserve the world's humanity. At the same time we have done nothing to merit the maligning of our own people. The Negro Insurance Alliance, an organization composed of the colored insurance agents of St. Louis, recently held a smoker and banquet. Among the subjects discussed were: "The Relation of the Agent to the Client." "Future of the Negro in the Insurance Field." "Payment of Claims" and "How to Hold Your Business." The Negroes have looked to Washington in the past as a haven of hope from what was considered the irregular legislation of the constitutions of so many of the Southern states. Those constitutions, as poorly as we think of them, are regular enough, showing no intent on the face, the most of them, to defeat the Negro of the suffrage. The "grandfather" clause and the rest of them were regular tests, and while set forward to defeat the race, were no less honest in the letter having in mind the equality of the laws. That Negroes could not subscribe to the tests was their bad luck. The point is that the makers of those ingeniously worded instruments were scrupulously observant of the constitution of the United States which declared against laws of inequality. Immigration laws are not necessarily influenced by the laws of the land, however, there is a similar influence extending out—the sameness of terms to all people. Are we to see consideration for us struck down right in the haven of hope? Is our race to feel that it has no "throne" to which to appeal? No commonness in the world with other nations? Are we to be indicted that we live? Somehow we feel that this miserable part of the bill will FIVE CENTS A COPY. Fifty-two persons were lynched, last year, in this country, of whom forty-nine (three women, one only seventeen years old) were Afro-Americans. Of the total, 24 per cent of the lynchings were in the two states of Mississippi and Louisiana. This pre-eminence is an old story for Mississippi, but a new one for Louisiana. In 1913 the former state was guilty of more of these offenses than the other, while Georgia came second. Of the fifty-two lawless executions recorded, only seven—two white and five colored—were of men accused of crimes against womankind. The 1914 record shows an increasing tendency to lynch for any cause, however trival, and also to disregard sex. In plainer words, the old pretense upon which lynchers formerly tried to excuse their heathenish activity has been largely abandoned by the new generation of lyncher-murders. These latter day criminals are franker; their madness ignores logic and everything else. They slay because they like to slay, and too, in the face of the fact that not one of the Afro-Americans lynch-murdered ever receives anything that even savors of a trial, to say nothing of a fair one, something practically unknown in the Southland. North Dakota and Oregon, each with one to its discredit, were the only Northern states in the total of fifteen that disgraced the country with lynch-murders last year. Some years ago, there were only 50 or 51 lynch-murders in a single year. So last year's lynch record and that for 1913, which was the same, as to the total number, came very near being the minimum record to date. According to the New Age of Los Angeles, California, Ellis Warren of that city has supervision over the hauling and shipping department of C. Leonardt, contractor. The fact that this firm has erected most of the sky-scrapers in Los Angeles, emphasizes the importance of Mr. Warren's position. Professor Edgar H. Webster, of Atlanta University, is contributing a series of articles to the Savanah, (Georgia) Tribune. The Clef Club of New York City has donated $75.oo to charitable organizations in Philadelphia.

The Circle, under the leadership of Mrs. Rena Colston, is progressing splendidly. At a recent meeting, plans were made for a three nights bazaar in the near future. Rev. D. E. Over and our pastor will exchange pulpits on the fourth Sunday at the morning hour. This exchange will be appreciated no less by the two congregations than by the pastors themselves. Our second quarterly meeting will be held on the fifth Sunday of the month. It is hoped that this one will be the biggest and best in the history of the church. Sister Edith Smithea, who was translated to the land of the blessed on the 8th, was buried from her home, 1873 Marion, on Monday afternoon. The very high esteem in which she was held was beautifully illustrated through the gorgeous floral offerings made by her friends. She is gone, but not forgotten. Our sick list this week includes Mrs. Eliza Holley, 2922 Glenarm; Mrs. Mamie Cole, 2558 Welton; Mrs. Roxie Brickly, 1847 Clarkson, and Miss Hattie Elliott, 1910 Penn. Our prayer is for their speedy recovery. The friends of Mrs. R. L. Pope, who is visiting in Pensacola, Flo., welcome word from her telling of the improved condition both of her mother's health and her own as well. Our congregation witnessed a scene last Sunday morning that it will not be easy to forget. After Dr. Randolph had preached a touching sermon and our pastor had made the appeal, Father George Downey of Morrison, Colo., came forward and publicly confessed Christ as his Savior. He is 75 years old, but, though late, he found pardon. Brother Lloyd Hall also united with the church. Mrs. Mae E. Byrd and her party will repeat the musical drama, "The Busy Ladies' Aid," at Shorter chapel Thursday evening, Jan. 28th, for the benefit of the trustees.

Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. Next Sunday afternoon the three Baptist churches will hold union covenant and communion services at Bethelhem church. Judging by the splendid response on the first Sunday at Zion, we may look forward to a great outpouring of the Baptists on that day. Every member and friend of the Zion church is requested and expected to be there. Don't fail to be present or you will regret it. On the fourth Sunday in this month the pastors of Shorter and Zion will exchange pulpits. The pastor of Zion desires that the congregation will give to the Rev. Pope a most hearty response and that every seat in the auditorium will be occupied. The funeral of Deacon J. W. Russell was held from the church last Friday week. That Brother Russell was held in high esteem in the community was attested by the large number of friends who were present and the many floral tributes which wreathed the casket with garlands. The service was beautiful and impressive and fittingly marked the close of a life which for more than 25 years has stood prominent in religious circles. The family has the sympathy of the community. Our sick list includes this week the son of Brother J. W. Jackson; Sister Minnie Sparks, recently returned from the hospital; Danella Price, who continues about the same. Others reported earlier are recovered or convalescent. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, E. 23RD AVE. AND WASHINGTON ST. PASTOR, J. A. THOSH- HAZELL S. T. B.

People's church was represented by Elder Eyans. The pastor presented his report on Freedmen. At the recent confirmation services Mrs. M. E. Morrison, Mrs. L. Slaughter, Miss S. Harris and Mr. J. Brickler were confirmed into full membership. The ordinance of baptism was administered to Mrs. Slaughter, Mr. Brickler and Margaret Lawrence, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Andrews. The recital last Sabbath afternoon will not soon be forgotten. The choir easily sustained its reputation. Morrison's orchestra was abnormal in its renditions. Mr. J. R. Jackson, who made his debut with the People's choir, provoked much of favorable comment as a clarionettist. Mrs. M. E. Morrison's progress with the trombone stood out conspicuously. Master Atwell Rose deserves every encouragement for his efforts with the violin. Mr. Alex. Brickler playing a second with his violin proved a quartette to the People's orchestra. Mrs. Laura Hill's paper on the "Inspiration of Possibilities" was an extraordinarily strong one. Eureka Choral Club meets next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in the pastor's study of the church to resume musical studies. TRUE APOSTLE OF FREEDOM. Dr. Spingarn Creates Favorable Public Sentiment In Our Behalf. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, spoke in Pittsburgh on Jan. 10 and 11 in the interest of the association, which he represents. His first address was made at the Umatarian church on Sunday morning, Jan. 10. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon he spoke at Bethel A. M. E. church, Wiley avenue and Elm street, the Rev. P. A. Scott pastor. William M. Randolph, chairman of the local committee, which arranged for the meeting, presided. Dr. Rudolph I. Coffee introduced Dr. Spingarn. Other speakers were the Rev. George B. Howard and Professor John H. Brashear. There were musical selections by the Eureka quartet. At 8 o'clock Sunday evening Dr. Spingarn made an address in St. James' A. M. E. church. Euclid avenue and Harvard street, the Rev. C. A. McGee pastor. He was introduced by S. R. Morsell, the secretary of the local committee of arrangements. On Monday noon, Jan. 11, he addressed the Hungry club, which is the best forum in the city, including in its membership many leading business men and social workers. Dr. Spingarn is a true apostle of freedom and is creating favorable sentiment in our behalf. He has for a number of years devoted himself with characteristically passionate sincerity to the cause of the colored race. He recently retreated from Oklahoma, where he went to arouse the local branches to more activity in the work of the association. He had expected to have Professor William Pickens of Wiley university accompany him and to make addresses with him. Mr. Pickens was, however, unable to do so, and W. Scott Brown of Muskogee volunteered in his place. On this trip Mr. Brown was twice discriminated against, once in a chair car and once in a sleeper. Undoubtedly the association will bring suit to test these cases. Dr. Spingarn will have much of interest to tell in regard to his Oklahoma trip.

The ladies of the Twentieth Century Art Club were justly proud over their New Year's greeting at Fern hall. The gathering would have done credit to Philadelphia, Chicago or Washington in the pleasing and delightful manner of its arrangement, entertaining and social activity. Never will any receiving line be more attractively placed and make such a happy impression upon the guests as they filed into Fern hall, than did the hostesses as they artistically greeted their invited friends. The mistresses of fashion were out and the onlooker thoroughly enjoyed the ever-changing kaleidoscope of fashion. One saw there elegant brocaded silks, chiffon velvets, beaded nets and embroidered chiffons, and with the popular fur and lace trimmings. These gowns upon the Denver ladies presented a spectacle never to be forgotten. The hall was brilliantly lighted and decorated with gold, black and green streamers coming from each corner and uniquely meeting in the center of the ceiling, forming the beautiful design, "XX C. Art," which hung suspended from the center. Holiday decorations transformed the spacious hall into a bower of evergreen, studded with myriad poinsettas and softly glowing red lights beneath, with the great table of refreshments surrounded with its red flowers and greenery, presented a charming picture. To this setting, picture married and single, young and old, from the smiling young miss to the stately matron, all gorgeously gowned, handsome in figure and varying types of beauty, pleasantly entertaining and being entertained, and you will have but a faint idea of the perfect harmony of the gathering. Everybody seemed at ease, and graceful in their action, which made the gathering one of the happiest in the history of social Denver.

This book, which is just from the press, is the third book by Mr. Tapp, inh wich 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. KEEP IT HANDY FOR RHEUMA TISM. No use to squirm and wince and try to wear out your rheumatism. It will wear you out instead.

Let them know by your presence that you love the bluebirds, the sunshine bearers of Colorado, and the columbine, the fragrant spreader of the Centennial state, and by your unassuming attitude teach them that you love this state where you have lived and labored incessantly through hot and cold, thick and thin, and brought out of sorrow, despair and desolation, happiness, peace and prosperity.

Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky on a bright summer day came the announcement of the retaining of Mr. O. T. Jackson, founder of Dearfield colony, as messenger to the Governor. The Star's choice was J. W. Jackson. We could hardly understand why the Governor whom we helped to elect could afford to overlook his workers who assisted him in his election. In our investigation we found that little Dearfield's farmers who had requested the Governor to retain Mr. Jackson, so he could finish his good work of building and completing the colony. To the Governor and the state of Colorado it meant more to have a man like Jackson, who had been instrumental in reclaiming thousands of acres from the federal government to the state of Colorado, than any city man who aspired for the job. We see a new era in politics. Machine tactics are dead and the Governor exercised his right of choice, just as the people carefully exercised their right in his choice. It shows that, regardless as to what Denver persons of color may think of Dearfield and its settlement, Governor Carlson will reward their request by encouraging the pioneers who have sacrificed social, fraternal and musical privileges and advantages of the city. Men who now aspire for jobs must amount to something; besides they must represent something substantial. We congratulate the settlers of Dearfield for their success, yet we had our choice. For the past six years Mr. O. T. Jackson has discharged his duties very creditably and we don't criticise him for being lucky in his retention. LOYAL NEGROES SHOW INTER EST INAUGURATION. Fully 250 Negroes sprinkled the audience up and down stairs in the city Auditorium, where the inauguration exercises were being held, Tuesday noon. They heard Governor Carlson deliver his message from his own lips. Such vital questions as the civil service in the state, right to work anywhere, and the protection offered by and through the state, are of much concern to the Negro, as he evinced by his presence Tuesday. Preachers, lawyers, doctors, newspapermen, club women and political representatives were much in evidence. The Negro made a deeper impression on the incoming administration by his presence there Tuesday than by all the delegations which might call upon them in the future. APPLY SLOAN'S FREELY FOR LUMBACO.

THE EARLY FIGHT AGAINST SLAVERY German Quakers Held Protest At a meeting composed of German Quakers, called Friends, held in April 1888, a formal protest against slavery in the American colonies was adopted. This was the beginning of the abolition movement which never died out but gradually spread with the growing colonies and which spread over the country when the states were formed and the government established. As the population grew and the number of slaves increased the spirit of opposition to human slavery increased until the freeing of the slave or the dissolving of the Union to perpetuate slavery became inevitable. And thus the great civil war came. It became evident that a nation with human slavery as its cornerstone could not stand. The first dawn of freedom appeared over the horizon in 1862, and the full sun of emancipation burst forth when the friends of human slavery gave up the conflict in 1865. The work of making a new man, a new American citizen, then began with the reconstruction of the government. When the slaves found themselves free men and women they soon began to hold emancipation celebrations, which have grown into county and state fairs and expositions. A brief study of the work before the Virginia Negro Historical and Industrial association under the lead of the Hon. Giles B. Jackson, which is beginning its arrangements for the great celebration of fifty years of freedom and exposition to take place at Richmond next summer, brings us to a relation of the history of the emancipation of the slaves in the United States. After the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency in 1860 it was early decided that slavery was a disgrace to our country and a dark blot on our escutcheon in the eyes of Christian and civilized nations, so by an act of congress the slaves in the District of Columbia were freed on the 16th of April, 1862. This was the real entering wedge and paved the way for a general emancipation. On Sept. 22, 1862, President Lincoln issued a general proclamation of emancipation to take effect on Jan. 1, 1863. This brought about the thirteenth amendment to the constitution on Dec. 14, 1863. On Jan. 13, 1864, Congressman Ashley of Ohio offered an amendment to the constitution prohibiting slavery in the United States and its territories. The late Senator John B. Henderson of Missouri offered an amendment for the complete abolition of slavery and a vote was had in the senate on June 15, 1864, but failed because it did not receive the necessary two-thirds vote. This forced the question into the presidential campaign of 1864 and the cause of abolition won at the polls. A vote was again taken on the Henderson amendment on Jan. 31, 1865, and the amendment was agreed to and was submitted to the states for ratification or rejection, and twenty-seven states, which were two-thirds, ratified it, and it became a part of the federal constitution. The second amendment had been issued on Jan. 1, 1863. After the states had acted congress on Dec. 18, 1865, adopted the amendment and slavery died forever in the United States so far as congressional enactment was concerned. The closing of the civil war also sealed the fate of human slavery in the United States. The former master and the former slave were now confronted with new problems. Neither for a time knew his exact status or just what to do. They finally agreed that they should live on together under their new conditions and rebuild the waste places of the southland and make it once more blossom like the rose. That work since then has been going on. The new freedmen have made wonderful progress in fifty years along all lines, and because of this progress Virginia's colored population will hold a great exposition at Richmond during Ju'ugust, 1915.

LEADER IN MANY MOVEMENTS Conditions Which Impelled Well Educated Young Matron to Devote Time and Talent to Uplift Unfortunate of Her Race to Higher Plane—Popular With the Masses. By GEORGE F. KING. Raleigh, N. C.—That some of the young women of our race in this section of the south who have had the advantage of a liberal education seem to be divinely inspired by the events which have caused millions of our people in the south to fittingly observe the first day of January, generally known as emancipation day, is strikingly and most inspiringly evidenced by Mrs. Alice Jackson Dunston of this city. This remarkable woman is a deep thinker and the possessor of a versa- THE WOMEN'S LIBRARY MRS. ALICE J. DUNSTON. the nature, so that she is able to see conditions from many viewpoints. While various reforms present themselves for the racial betterment, both social and commercial, a religious trend of thought causes her to meditate upon the previous condition of the race. God's promises to the meek elicit on her part a beautiful realization of the fact that there is none more competent to fight the battles of the meek nor end their struggles than the Omnipotent. Hence this young woman thrills hundreds of our people by a poem for the emancipation day celebration. The following from Mrs. Dunston's emancipation day poem will give the reader an idea of the sentiment which it breathes: For when ships with human freight For when ships with human freight Crossed thousands of ocean miles And brought thee here. O child of fate, Trapped by the traitor's snares and wiles, Ye tolled and slaved 'twixt sobs and sighs, With heavy hearts and sore, To blaze the path for a nation's rise, For achievements and deeds galore. For 'twas ye who tiled the stubborn soil, And by thy arduous task Feve laid this strong foundation Whereon wealth and fame may last. And since we read in later lore How ye fought for the master's life, Kept safe his home, offspring and wife From pillage and scenes of strife. Come together, men of letters, Compile thy heroes' deeds: Such wisdom defies all weakness And imbibes frugality. Mrs. Dunston was reared and educated in Boston. Being inspired by a zealous love to work among her people, she returned to Wilmington, N. C., her birthplace, where she taught for a number of years, giving her best self and efforts to the lowliest of the race. Hundreds of the colored teachers in the south felt the influence of the strength of her character as an instructor at the summer school for teachers at the well known Agricultural and Mechanical college in Greensboro, N. C. Her last public work was teacher of speech to the deaf at the State school in Raleigh, where she gained a nation wide reputation because of her pronounced success. She observed and studied the methods used in the noted institutions of New York, Philadelphia and Morganton, N. C. She threw her soul into this, the hardest of all teaching, and taught the unfortunate dumb children speech as by supernatural inspiration. Her influence is markedly felt in every community in which she has labored. She is being urged to publish her emancipation day poem. Mosaic Templars Own Much Wealth.

Congregation of St. Joseph A. M. E. Church Among Most Progressive and Cultured In the North Carolina City Work of Messrs. Merrick, Pearson, Avery and O'Daniel. B GEORGE F. KING. Durham, N. C.-The splendid activities of a large group of progressive members of our race in this city which have gained nation wide comment and won the approbation of the better element of both races, have largely been stimulated by religious infinities and are found among the strongest Christian factors in the African Methodist Episcopal church. Its effectiveness is due to its capable leadership and ability to inspire its comuni-nicants, who are ambitious to win success in their church work. Bishop L. J. Coppin, D. D., of Philadelphia is the presiding genius over this Episcopal district. He appointed to the St. Joseph A. M. E. church, this city, a man endowed with the requisites essential for the conserving of the religious interest in making the people of Durham a constructive force in racial uplift. Dr. E. T. Bailey, pastor of the St. Joseph church, is now filling his third appointment as pastor of this thrifty congregation. This is a congregation where culture and Christianity predominate. During his administration there has been a larger conception on the part of the members of their mission in life, and every department of the church has had unprecedented success. The in- P. R. REV. DR. E. T. BAILEY. dustious and manly life of Dr. Bailey has signally eliminated a kind of individualism detrimental to the progress of Christianity. Dr. Bailey is an ardent advocate among the educational forces of his great church, and he emphasizes that culture is imperative for the betterment of man to the extent that St. Joseph is always in the forward column of the forces in supporting the twenty-four institutions of learning owned and controlled by this denomination. At the recent session of the western North Carolina conference, which was filled with many fine features and with full rounded reports giving it the reputation of leading the southern conferences, the Rev. Mr. Bailey succeeded in getting the next educational congress of the North Carolina conference to meet in his church. St. Joseph's church willingly and effectively supports Dr. Bailey in all of the commendable movements with such able men as his lay leaders as Hon. John Merrick, founder and president of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of this city and president of the Mechanics' and Farmers' bank; Professor W. G. Pearson, a noted pedagogue and head of the Royal Knights of King David, a highly successful fraternity; Professor J. M. Avery, assistant general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association, president of the Alumni association of Kittrell college and one of the leading laymen in North Carolina; Dr. G. W. Adams, cashier of the Mechanics and Farmers' bank, and John O'Daniel. Dr. Bailey's ministerial career of nineteen years, beginning at Chuckucktuck, Va., has been a success. In the outset he demonstrated his ability to do constructive work and built an ideal church at his first charge. For nine years he labored in Virginia, his native state. During 1904 he was transferred to his present conference by Bishop Lee and stationed at Asheville, N. C., where he served acceptably for two years, and, seeing that he was needed most at Kinston, N. C., he was transferred to that city in the North Carolina conference, where he gained greater prestige. He came to Durham from Mount Zion A. M. E. church, Wimlington, N. C., where he paid off a debt which had in part been standing against this church for thirty years, built a modern parsonage and doubled the membership in five years. Success of Mrs. C. A. Tuggle In Birmingham, Ala. Steps In the Career of a Noted Woman Whose Activities For the Advancement of the Race Extend In Many Directions—Founder of School Which Bears Her Name. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 6. — One of the most remarkable women of our race in this section is Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, president and founder of Tuggle institute, on Enon Ridge, near here. She is also mother of protection and founder of the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection, grand worthy counselor of the Grand Court of Calanthe, the female branch of the Knights of Pythias, and a generally useful woman who is devoting her whole life to the advancement of the Negro race. Mrs. Tuggle was born in Eufaula, Ala., and as a girl had an interesting career. She developed a wonderful mind and was a recognized leader among her playmates. She at an early age learned to read and write, and at the same time learned the use of the needle. There were but few girls in the town of Eufaula who were as useful with a needle as "Little Charity Griggs," as she was called by the people of the town. She also took a leading part in Sunday school and church work. Her early training was obtained at the public schools of Eufaula. She was also fortunate in having good private teachers. The private teachers were among some of the best white women in that section of the country, who took special interest in her and had much to do with fitting her for M. MRS. CARRIE A. TUGGLE. the splendid work which she is now doing. Among her first efforts in a business way was as a tailor, and while yet a young woman she was known as one of the best tailors in the town. She made clothes for the governor of the state and other state officials. Her first public service as a church worker was back in the days of Bishop Payne. She was ordained a deacon by him and put into active service. 'She erected a church in Georgetown, Ga. It was the first time in the history of the town that a woman had ever erected a church. This won for Mrs. Tuggle the admiration and praise of thousands of people. Not only was she a remarkable talker, but she was a great singer. Her services were sought in all parts of the south among the church people. "Through her singing and talking many people were brought into the church. When the Knights of Pythias decided to bring out the female branch known as Court of Calanthe Mrs. Tuggle was selected as the organizer, and it was not long before strong courts were formed in the state, and she was put at the head of the grand court and has held the position ever since. In the Household of Ruth, Sisters of Mysterious Tens. Order of Eastern Star and almost every other organization in the state she has been active and is active now. On May 3, 1903, she called around her the women of thought and told them of the work which she intended to do and asked their co-operation, and as a result in the fall of that year Tuggle institute was organized, and the boys and girls who were not able to pay their way were accepted as willingly as those who were fully able to meet their expenses. In order to get more help in the work she organized the Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection. It is a secret society, and all of its secret work, passwords and signs come from the brain of Mrs. C. A. Tuggle. It is today one of the strongest organizations in the country, with a large membership in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Iowa and Illinois. Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle is one of the best known women in the country, and in the Supreme Court of Calanthe she is a recognized leader. The women look up to her for advice, which she gives willingly, and at the same time she reaches out for the boys and girls who need her services at all times.

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 clamish, 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 move 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 delegations 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 most best state in the Union, and the 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. CONGRESSMAN BEN C. 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 power 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 sermons. tion, 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. Master Atwell Rose was the musical idol of the house by his violin playing. NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE TO MEET IN BOSTON AUG. 18. Committee Decides to Hold Fifteenth Annual Session in "Hub City." Tuskegee, Ala.—At the meeting of the National Negro Business league held last August in Muskogee, Okla. invitations to hold the next meeting were received from and through the local Negro business leagues of Boston, Kansas City, Mo., and Chicago. The executive committee decided to leave the matter of the final decision to a committee composed of Dr. Booker T. Washington, president; Hon. J. C. Napier, chairman of the executive committee, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary. All these invitations were most cordial, but after weighing all matters carefully it has been decided to hold the next meeting in Boston in response to the invitation received from the Boston Negro Business league No. 1, whose invitation to the league follows: Boston, Aug. 19, 1914. National Negro Business League. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, 189 South Second Street, Carter Building, Muskogee, Oklahoma. Boston league invites national league convention nineteen fifteen. J. HENDERSON ALLSTON. Secretary. The National Negro Business league was organized in Boston, August, 1900, and so the fifteenth anniversary of the organization will be celebrated in connection with the coming meeting to be held in Boston Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Aug. 18, 19 and 20, 1915. The local Negro Business league of Boston is more united than ever before, and all the forces are working together to make the coming meeting a memorable one. The national organization, working in earnest co-operation with the Boston Negro Business league No. 1, will do everything possible to assure at Boston a meeting in every way worthy of the progress and influence of the league during the past fifteen years. The Broad Ax's Subscription Campaign The Chicago Board Ax, edited by the militant Julius F. Taylor, is conducting a wonderful subscription campaign which has many novel features. Editor Taylor says N. B. Bodson, has long been known as a stanch advocate of full citizenship rights of the race as guaranteed by the federal constitution, but which are largely denied by discriminating and unjust state laws in violation of the letter and spirit of the constitution. Long may the Broad Ax live and prosper under his able management. Plenty of Business In Boley, Okla. Boley, Okla., is the largest city in the United States founded and officered by colored men. It has over eighty business concerns, an electric-lighting plant, efficient churches, a high school worth over $15,000, a normal and industrial school supported by the C. M. E. church, flourishing fraternal orders, a Masonic temple of the Okla. homa jurisdiction worth $35,000, a telephone system, several cotton gins, a chamber of commerce, a city hall and a railroad station. Domestic Science in Rural Schools. The report of Rural School Supervisor Leo M. Favrot of Arkansas shows that considerable progress has been made by young women of our race along various lines of study in domestic science during the fiscal school year in Arkansas. The number enrolled in sewing classes was 2,206. In cooking classes 327 and in how to serve classes 436. Knowledge of these subjects is not only necessary for the country girl, but for those who live in the city as well. Charles H. Watkins as a Business Man. Charles H.
