Denver Star

The Denevr Star has the largest circulation among Colored People. Get wise and advertise The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 70 TEARING OFF THE MASK. To Strike Any Republican Organization Means to Strike and Hamper Whole Party. Editorial Premature and Unnecessary. In order to really know the true character of an individual occasionally flush him with real or seeming victory and prosperity and he will show his true character, along with his peculiarities, either in silence, or by the braggadocio manner. The editorial of the "Colorado Statesman" under the caption of "plums" was written for some purpose to appease an enmity or spite against the Republican organization. The Star considers this the most reprehensible spirit that has been exhibited for years as was shown and expressed in the article. It dared not speak directly, only in premature criticism; it used and suggested unsuspecting innuendoes, and in the flagrant attempt built up a straw man of the imagination, only to destroy it by wielding of the paper's strong and powerful (?) influence. Some organization is better than no organization. The day of individualism is gone. Men get what they want only by getting together and demanding collectively. The Colored Republican Club handled, managed, and brought victory for the Republicans last fall. The author of the editorial decried, then, as he does now, all unified efforts, not of his own influence or making, and secretly tried to thwart their success. Now, because, Gov. Carlson let O. T. Jackson, the present messenger, who, for six years past discharged his duties well, remain on his job—(the job, we are informed this editorial editor tried to get but failed). And because the new Republican Auditor failed to discharge Father Bruce forthwith; and because the newly elected Secretary of State kept James J. Manuel on his job, and since no changes whatever were made immediately in the office where the Caucasians were concerned, and because a lady of color recieved the matronship independent of any colored assistance from the legislature, and finally because the legislative members were too busy to give out some menial positions, then, this editor wrote his now "famous, but attempted-to be-ironical editorial on 'Plums'" He criticised the colored Republican Club of this city and attempted to befog, raise dissentions among the peaceful party members, create doubts where none heretofore existed, and finally destroy the only real Republican organization among the Negroes. What does this all mean and indicate? Surely this kind of a disturbance cannot, and does not work for the prosperity and success in solidifying the Republican party, especially when seven days had not elapsed since the inauguration, wherein the Republican party had a chance to make good. The excellent and encouraging words which had just fallen from Governor Carlson's lips had scarcely gotten cold, when this paper of supposed Republican faith severely criticised his party, whose fair hopes, aims and bright future depend largely upon our Governor and his advisors. Why assail the colored Republican Club or any other club which contributed to the success of the party? Suppose the club had failed which we solemnly and positively declare it has not, what then? Would the editorial writer be exulant in in glee and joy over the Negroes defeat? A defeat to the club means a defeat to the Negroes in this state and a widespread discouragement in organizing solidifying and perfecting political organizations in the future among the Negro. So happy was the editor, because of the apparent indications of defeat," that he went to writing, as if, on the "Isle of Patmos." Doubtless he saw things, but not of a prophetic Republican vision and spirit. The Star takes issue most strongly with the truthfulness of this statement and calls for proof. "Many are wondering over the cause of this action in our being favored with only one position. To others it seems a puzzle, but all will accept the fact that where there is a minor representation of any cause, organization or individual, the results must necessarily be meagre. We venture to offer the opinion that one of the chief causes for our not obtaining more positions is due to the fact of our being in the minority of representation in Denver county against the outside counties, which on account of their large support of the ticket, had the choice of positions, as by their material help the Republican party was brought to success. Unfortunately, for us this time, many deviated from the faithful landmarks which guided them successfully and launched out under the leadership which made them believe that they would be the beneficiaries of lucrative jobs. There is clearly shown by the action of the party in only favoring us with this remembrance, that either sufficient representation was not made or something essential was lacking among those whose privileges it was to endeavor to get a fair distribution of the "Plums" to be offered." If not the ministers of the gospel, who stood up in the pulpits, if not the business and professional men and women, who wrote in the press; who held meetings in Denver. If not they, who did the bulk of the political work among Negroes? Who did? What paper devoted unstintingly its spacious columns toward the spreading of the Republican gospel without any Democratic flavor? Who, then, voted for the restoration of the grand old party to its rightful place in this state? The Negroes of Denver who were more active and did the most of the campaign work are entitled, and should get the substantial credit for their work. If they do not, the Republican party will certainly gain nothing from their deceit and false representations. Be not disturbed nor decieved. The grand old party has neither failed nor deceived. These successful candidates will yet carry out their promises and the words written by the editorial writer must either be retraced or taken as a silent and veiled pernicious attack upon the principles of the Republican administration. The Star opines that the editorial written in the spirit of a disgruntled, disappointed and defeated political candidate, not only, whose psuedo-political organization born over night had failed, but also whose fond hopes for the messengership to the Governor had too vanished in thin air. The Star is glad of the unmasking and the real purpose and spirit of the article can now be easily seen and known for what it is worth. ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF DEMOCRATIC FRIENDSHIP. The Negro still continues to be the football in politics. Some Democratic senators are trying to defeat the Immigration Bill on account of its literacy test clauses. The other day Senator Reed, in order to alienate Republican support from the bill, presented an amendment which added members of the "Black or African Race," to the list of persons excluded from the country. The amendment was passed by a vote of 29 to 25. This means, if the bill is finally passed, that there will be no literacy test for Negroes: it will make no difference if one is able to read the Greek Testament in' the original, he will be excluded simply because he belongs to the "Black or African Race." Four Republican senators voted for the amendment and their votes enabled it to be passed. We shall print their names so that you can remember them: Senator Borah, of Idaho. Senator Sterling, of North Dakota. Senator Sutherland, of Utah. Senator Works, of California. One Progressive to be added to the blacklist. Senator Poindexter, of Washington. The main intent of this amendment is simply a further humiliation to American Negroes, for the immigration of persons of the "African or Black Race" to this country is infinitiesimal. Colored people who might go abroad would, however, find this am- endment a very embarrassing matter on their return to the United States. American manufactures and merchants are making efforts to secure a larger share of South and Central American trade, and here is a prejudicial and asine Democratic Congress insulting a large proportion of the citizens of those countries. Where will this thing end? Another side to this question, West Indians are [about the only persons of African descent who immigrate to this country, and West Indians are British subjects; is not this amendment a violation of British treaty rights? Perhaps it will be only through England that we shall be able to defeat this piece of pernicious legislation. Every enfranchised Negro in the United States should at once protest to his senator and congressman to use their efforts to defeat the bill or to have the literacy test apply equally to persons of the "African or Black Race.'—J. W. Joenson, in Age. Representatives of the leading colored educational institutions in the state of Virginia met in Richmond recently. Uniformity of standards and regulations was the basis of their deliberatiions. Andrew Irving, is a member of the sales force of the Sharpe Furniture Company, of Nashville, Tenn. Bon Vivants Celebrate Annual Affair at Dania Hall. Denver's Smart Set Exhibits Fine Toggery, Splendor and Rich Entertainment. Friday night last was an evening long to be remembered by the Bon Vivants. Dania hall was beautifully decorated throughout with turquoise blue and white latticed into a fence which separated the music from the main banquet hall. Red and white streamers running from each corner and interlacing and uniting in the center over the festive table and around the emblem of the man in the full moon, added great charm and color to the emblematic full moon. Included within this suspended moon were varied colored lights, which caused the moon to cast its pale gray light over the banquet board. With the reception room artistically bedecked in greenery, the festive board elaborately spread, the illuminating and cheer suggesting decorations placed here and there and soft enchanting music screened in and completely hid in turquoise blue, with the assistance of the instruments and merry voices, easily made this annual entertainment ahead of anything given after its fashion.

Nashville, Tenn.—Perhaps no school in the country is doing more effective work for the uplift of the Afro-Americans of the southern states than Walden university and the Meharry college of this city, says Whittier Howard Wright. During the thirty-eight years of its existence Meharry has sent out over 2,000 graduates in medicine, dentistry. In order to get the full significance of the annual celebration of the Bon Vivants, one must use his imaginative powers as he sees Toastmaster T. E. McClain, A. B., D. D. S., doing honors to the following participants upon the program: "Welcome Address," F. W. Dempsey; "The Ladies," by Leonard Anderson; "Response," by Mrs. T. E. McClain; "Mixed Jokes," by Chester Stell; "Retrospectus," Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook; "Citizenship," by Victor Walker, after which the Ham Tree orchestra sang and the critic, Wm. Russ, reported. Imagine interspersed between each of the above numbers the chorus at its best as it put music and enthusiasm in the following songs: Club song, "Hall, Hall, the Gang's All Here," "Rings On Her Fingers," "Crying for "OO," "Tipperary," "This Is the Life," "I Love the Ladies," "Chinatown," "There's a Hole," "Row, Row, Row," "Far, Far Away," and "Stein Song," and see if you could realize how the elaborate twelve-course dinner would taste. It was indeed a representative and fashionable social gathering of society's smartest set. So dazzling and alluring appeared the ladies amid such wealth and splendor that shower after shower of admiring glances from men's eyes followed each lady around the hall. Each lady had her graceful poise and individual style that forced attention from the gathering. The beautiful jewels which bedecked the ladies only more completely harmonized the brilliant glistenings of the diamonds, rubies, sapphires and opals. As the ladies promenaded up and down the hall, the glare of the moon's silvery light fell upon the gorgeous array and display of the turquoise blue and the most exquisite and pleasing sight known in the realms of imagination was witnessed as the following elegantly gowned ladies appeared: Mrs. Jno. Carrie, Jr., pink brocaded charmeuse with black Du Barrie velvet reingate touched with fur; Mrs. N. J. Skillern, corn yellow chiffon, modified Grecian drapery of beaded chiffon over green Ottoman silk; Mrs. T. E. McClain, black pann velvet with corsage of Irish lace; Mrs. F. Dempsey, artistic evening gown of black chiffon, interwoven with silver tinsel, portion of black malline caught at waist line with a gorgeous rose; Mrs. Clarence F. Holmes, gray charmeuse trimmed in lace worked with French knots; Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook, green Marquil Setta over cerasein with waist of marquil net trimmed in passementerie; Mrs. Chester A. Stell, Bleu Aucien chiffon over-draping a heavy laced bodice; Mrs. F. D. Ratley, messaline with flet of lace; Mrs. Bettie Shorts, black gown of mesaline satin trimmed in chantilly lace and jet; Miss Mallory, salmon-colored messaline satin trimmed in gold lace and rhinestones; Mrs. Wm. Stewart, blue satin over-draped with Marquiseite of same color, real lace and roses; Mrs. Clark Craig, dancing frock of cream lace and paleest blue satin; Mrs. Jessie Carter, baby blue, pussy willow crepe trimmed in Bohemian lace jetted with turquoise; Mrs. Frank L. Turner, marine blue chiffon with bodice of blue chiffon embroidered in blue jet pailletes trimmed in fur; Mrs. Jasper Williams, pink satin over-draped with green chiffon; Mrs. Edwards, brick red satin caught up with roses; Mrs. Robert Roy, elegant gown of white satin, trimmed in beaded lace and furs. The above-named ladies were lavishly bedecked with the richest and rarest jewels, such as diamonds, pearls, rubles, sapphires, opals, emeralds, etc. The man who were fortunate to attend this grand and joy-supplying event were: Metra, Clark, Craig, W.

Meharry Students Elect Brilliant Yvanee Georgean Clear President Young Georgian Class President. Nashville, Tenn.-Perhaps no school in the country is doing more effective work for the uplift of the Afro-Americans of the southern states than Walden university and the Meharry college of this city, says Whittier Howard Wright. During the thirty-eight years of its existence Meharry has sent out over 2,000 graduates in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and trained nursing. The number of graduates and the states in which Meharry men and women are located are the following: Tennessee, 213; Texas, 117; Georgia, 111; Arkansas, 76; Oklahoma, 65; Alabama, 58; Kentucky, 58; Mississippi, 49, and Florida, 46. There are at the present session nearly 600 students from all sections of the country as well as the West Indian islands. There are enrolled former students of Columbia university. Harvard university, Chicago university, Northwestern university, Howard university. Shaw university, Atlanta university. Fisk university, Georgia State college. DR. J. H. GRIFFIN. Wiley university of Texas, Clark university of Atlanta, Ga., and numerous other schools of like standing throughout the country. The men and women come here well prepared for the study of the medical profession. As a tribute to his splendid manhood and brilliant scholarship Joseph Howard Griffin of Georgia was elected as president of the senior medical class of Meharry. Coming from his alma mater, the Georgia State Industrial college of Savannah, of which Major R. R. Wright is president, where he won many positions and honors on account of his close application to his duties, he won recognition among his classmates from the very beginning. Dr. Griffin is truly a splendid type of young manhood. Although this position is one only of honor it was greatly sought after by other members of the student body. We believe it is a true appreciation of this young man's worth. The race may expect great things in the medical world in the future from Dr. Griffin and other well prepared young medicos. 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 2,290. in cooking classes 327 and in bow to serve classes 430. Knowledge of these subjects is not only necessary for the country girl, but for those who live in the city as well. Church News SCOTT METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 803 26TH AVE. REV. D. SMITH, PASTOR.

The missionaries dressed in white with their blue badges emblazoned in gold letters, was quite a pleasing sight. Rev. Washington's instructive and far reaching sermon seemed to put new life into the members of the society and all vowed to put forth their best efforts to better their line of work. The funeral of Mrs. Jessie Green was held at the church Monday afternoon and was largely attended by her host of friends. Mrs. Jacob Brown, a pioneer member of Campbell, was buried from Campbell Wednesday at 1 o'clock. Many of his old friends were present to pay their last respects to him. Mr. Lloyd Cunningham's funeral was also held at Campbell Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. and the church was packed with his many friends. The floral offerings were beautiful and in great abundance.

Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. The Sunday School Institute, which closed last week, held in our church, was indeed the finest programme of the sort we have ever known. The addresses, lectures and class work were of the highest possible order and were presented by the Sunday school experts of the five leading denominations in this section. Sixteen of our Sunday school workers who prepared and presented their notes to the examining committee, made averages from 80 to 97 per cent. and were given credit for one-half book in the teacher training work. The meeting was inspirational and highly profitable. The Men's Bible class will enjoy a great treat next Tuesday night. Dr. Frank T. Bayley, pastor of the First Congregational church, will address the class from the subject, "Everybody's Book." This is Dr. Bayley's great lecture and should be heard by every man. The meeting begins at eight sharp. The class program for the season includes, once each month, an address by one of the leading pastors of the city. Dr. Bayley's is the first. The-Board of the Western Baptist Association will meet next Wednesday in Colorado Springs with the St. John church. All the Baptist churches should send offerings to Mr. A. A. Waller, 2606 Gilpin street, Denver, or to Rev. D. E. Over, 2456 Humboldt street. The Rev. Davis, former pastor of the M. E. church in Colorado Springs, who several weeks ago gave up his pulpit and was baptized into the Baptist church, preached in Zion's pulpit last Sunday morning. Brother Davis is a man thoroughly trained for the ministry and of rare and pleasing power. His sermon was a jewel. At the Board meeting next week he will be ordained to the Baptist ministry. The pastors of Shorter and Zion will exchange pulpits Sunday morning. It is our hope that the congregation will give Brother Pope a full house and a hearty response. Such exchanges work good for all interested. Our sick this week includes Mr. Geo. Washington, husband of Mrs. Nellie Washington, who is recovering from pneumonia. Sister Minnie Sparks is rapidly recovering. Sister Anna Baptiste has experienced some slight improvement. Sister Lille Dixon is about recovered. Sister Annie Hughes is also able to take up household duties. Sister Sarah Crump continues feeble, but is better. Mother Roley continues about the same.

THE NEW WAV WHITE SEWED COTTON 50£ 65£ 1855 CHAMPA BROOKLYN MARY 3737 --- EDUCATED YOUNG MEN AS LEADERS REV. O. J. ALLEN TO THE FORE Growth of the Baptist Denomination In Old North State Is Largely Due to Work of Capable Ministers and Loyal Laymen—Activities at First Baptist Church. By GEORGE F. KING. Statesville, N. C.—The Baptist denomination in North Carolina among our people numbers about 200,000. The interest which the members of the various churches manifest in their work and the loyal support which they are giving well educated young ministers is a sign of religious progress which is influencing the young people as never before to stick to the church and Sunday school in large numbers. Among the many capable young men in the ministry in this section is the Rev. O. J. Allen. A. B., of this city. He is industrious and has an eye single to the best interest of the race and the Baptist denomination. He believes that in order to properly represent the Baptists as a minister one should be thoroughly prepared. There is a growing demand among our people for a better educated ministry. The young people are demanding that our churches call only capable men. The peculiar exigencies of our race, especially in the south, at this time require as leaders in church, school and business men of learning and experience. Men like Drs. C. S. Brown. A. W. Pegues, S. N. Vass, E. E. Smith and other well known leaders among the THE BOSTON EDITOR REV. O. J. ALLEN, A. R. Baptists may always be depended upon to safely guide the work of the denomination in the state. They give encouragement to such able young men in the ministry as the Rev. Mr. Allen, who represents the type of young ministers needed to marshal the forces of young people to active work in our churches. The success of the church will increase in proportion as it has well qualified ministers and loyal members who value the good of the cause above personal aggrandizement. As a recognition of the Rev. Mr. Allen's ability he was elected and serves as recording secretary of the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Association of Western North Carolina, recording secretary of the Baptist ministerial conference of this state, assistant recording secretary of the Baptist educational and missionary convention of North Carolina and a trustee of Western Union academy at Rutherfordton, N.C. He is a graduate of Biddle university, Charlotte, N.C. one of the leading Presbyterian institutions of learning. He is deeply interested in the educational work of the denomination and is doing a very helpful work among the race in this section in stimulating parents to give their children a liberal education. This forceful young man served as pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, Shelby, N. C., and the Washington Baptist church, Cleveland county, N. C. After about six years at the latter place a good parsonage was built and the church renovated. Because of him becoming such a directing influence in the community when he resigned from the Washington Baptist church a great protest was registered by both races when he accepted the call of the First Baptist church of this city. Upon his arrival here he at once became active in helping to better the conditions of the race in this section, and his coming here has been an epoch making event among Afro-Americans. He took charge of the church the third Sunday in March, 1914. Since this time about 100 persons have been added to the church. A splendid nine room bungalow pastoral home, at a cost of nearly $3,000, has been built by Dr. Allen, with all modern improvements; also a furnace costing about $300 has been installed and about paid for. Besides being a pastor, Dr. Allen has the evangelistic gift. He has conducted meetings with marked success in Spartanburg, S. C.; Charlotte, High Point, Salisbury, Shelby, Hickory, Lexington and Winston-Salem, N. C. WASHINGTON DEFENDS RACE Head of Tukegee Institute Protests Against Passage of Immigration Bill. Head of Tuskegee Institute Protests Against Passage of Immigration Bill. One of the first individuals of the race to voice his protest against the immigration bill when it came up for consideration or adoption in congress was Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. In his appeal to the representatives in congress and to the various newspapers to use their influence against the passage of the African exclusion clause of the bill Dr. Washington said: Through your newspaper I desire to appeal to the American congress and to the people of the United States in favor of fair play and justice in connection with the immigration bill now pending before the United States senate which by amendment excludes from coming into this country any person of African descent. The bill, in my opinion, is unjust, unreasonable and unnecessary. It is unnecessary because only a few thousand people of African descent enter this country annually. Practically all of these that do come are mainly from the West Indies and almost none from the continent of Africa. It is evident that many of those who come into this country do not remain permanent, but I find, according to the census of Bill, that there were in the United States only 40,219 Negroes who were foreign born, and only 473 of these had come from Africa. The bill puts an unnecessary slight upon colored people by classing them with alien criminals. The bill in its present form would seem to prohibit citizens from the republics of Liberia, Cuba and Hayti and also from Porto Rico and Santo Domingo entering this country, thus placing an unnecessary hardship upon these smaller countries which would not be done, in my opinion, if they were stronger, seems to me that the European weakening the constitution should not constitute our sense of justice toward that nation, but the weaker the nation the more we ought to be sure that no injustice is done. In a personal conversation with a high officer of the Panama canal commission he told me that the services of the Jamaican Negroes were invaluable in building the Panama canal. Now that we are celebrating the completion of this great canal it seems most unjust and unreasonable that the people who contributed to large measures toward the completion of the canal should be slapped in the face and told that they cannot enter this country even when they meet the requirements of our government. The passing of this bill will stir up racial strife and accomplish no practical purpose. An investigation will show that the colored people who have come to this country from the West Indian islands and many other countries have helped as a whole to be a shibbiling intelligent, industrious class. They have never become anarchists or as a class given trouble to the government. Let me repeat, then, it is unfair at this time when we are all striving to bring about racial harmony and peace to raise a question which is calculated to stir up needless strife, and I cannot feel that the best people in the south, where the bulk of the colored people live, approve the passage of any such bill. In fact, the passing of such an unjust law civil missionary and educational work which we are trying to do in Africa and elsewhere. For a number of years some of the brightest young people from Africa and elsewhere have been coming to this country to receive training to fit them to go back and help their people, and this they have done in an effective manner. All this, I understand, will be stopped by the passing of this law. This measure is not political or sectional, and I hope that all people will see the justice of asking congress to refrain from respecting them upon my request. Certainly we have enough contend with already without having this additional handicap and discouragement placed in our pathway. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. FRIENDLY CO-OPERATION IN WORK FOR ADVANCEMENT Dr. S. A. Howell Wants White People to Know Our Race Better. In concluding his speech before the recent session of the American Christian convention, held at Springfield, O. the Rev. S. A. Howell of Newport News, Va., president of the Afro-Christian convention, said: "We as a race are watching your deliberations with great anxiety, trusting that you may continue your efforts to assist us from an educational point of view, as well as otherwise. We thank you sincerely for what you have done, by giving us an institution of our own, where the youth of our race are trained to a well established and cultured womanhood and manhood. We thank you for Franklinton Christian college. "Christian civilization does not have to thrust itself upon the Negro. Putting the ignorant Negro in jail or the penitentiary will not give him Christianity. We want the white friends to come among us more. see more of our struggles and the progress we are making in the direction of better homes, better Sunday schools and better churches, as well as commercial growth. "I wish not to be considered philosophical when I say that no two substances can occupy the same space at the same time, when one enters the other makes room by going out. So when prejudices, self interest, pride, egotism and all such shall be eliminated from the ecclesiastical equation and the will of God done on earth as it is in heaven, then there shall be no Jew nor Gentile, bond nor free, but all one in Christ. It will be a glorious day. The church will then have a grand triumph. "Mr. President, officers and delegates. I thank you for your indulgences, and may the dear old Christian church go forth from conquest to conquest—go forth to the education, civilization and evangelization of the world irrespective of creed, sect or color."

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.

GOVERNOR CARLSON'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS The Star has noted carefully the comment from the entire press, Republican, Independent and Democratic, and there have been only words of commendation for what he said. He promised no immediate millennium, he made no boasting, no cock-suredness, but only declared for a safe and sane administration, fulfilling, as far as human exigency would allow, the platform promises made in the campaign. We know that Gov. Carlson will accomplish these ends if hard work, honesty, efficiency and patriotism can do it. If the end is to be judged by his modest and progressive beginning, the governorship cannot hold him in 1916. THE LINCOLN-DOUGLASS SANA TORIUM NOTES. There is an awakened interest in the efforts to establish a consumptive sanatorium for Negroes. The Women's Clubs are giving the plea an important place in their proceedings and some of them have undertaken definite steps to help in establishment of the institution. The officers of the Association have had a number of calls to speak before various clubs, as for example, Dr. Spratlin spoke before Taka Art Club, Drs. Westbrook and Jones before the City Federation and the Pond Lillie Art Club had Dr. C. D. Spivak in their recent Sunday afternoon effort at Zlon. This last meeting is deserving of more than a passing notice. Dr. Spivak, who made the principal address at the meeting is a man whose heart is in this kind of work and as secretary of the organization that maintains the West Col- fax Jewish Sanatorium he is perhaps the best informed man in the city on ways and means of promoting this work. He is also thoroughly sincere and the most effective speaker on the subject that we have ever heard. The Art Club's meeting was small in attendance but large in results. For besides the profound and inspiring address of Dr. Spivak, the simple and frank statement of the Rev. D. E. Over as to his past attitude towards the effort and his present and future willingness to be a positive factor in its future development was a feature of the afternoon. His plea for the cause brought results to the efforts of the ladies and many gave cash memberships, a larger number subscribing to pay in their dollar before the final big membership rally, Feb. 16th. This particular club has undertaken to give $25 to the establishing of the sanatorium and their first public effort gave most satisfactory results. Besides the Women's Club's efforts and the thirty workers, published in a standing display elsewhere, in the Denver Star, the following persons have been delegated authority to bring the association's propaganda before other organizations, to-wit: Mr. J. C. Cooper of the Masons, Mr. J. H. Hardy, the Odd Fellows, Dr. S. A. Huff the K of P's, Mr. H. J. Brown the Elks, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook the Courts of Calanthe, Mrs. Florence Cooper the Chapters, Mrs. McClain the Households of Ruth, Dr. McClain the Bon-Vivants, Dr. Jones the U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s. All of these forces will unite in one GRAND RALLY at Campbell's A. M. E. church on Tuesday night, Feb. 16th "500 MEMBERS IN DENVER" is the rallying word. And following this big rally we are planning to secure a definite location and then spread the effort throughout the state and the entire nation. Don't YOU want to be identified with the early history of this nation-wide movement? Through some of the sources named above give one dollar as an annual membership dues and become a part of the movement and then interest your friends. Preliminary to the final rally, the members of the Conference Committee and ALL of the workers are asked to meet at the home of Mrs. Armstrong, 712 East Twenty-fifth avenue, Tuesday night, Feb. 2nd. The outlook is promising but each must do his full duty to realize the actual accomplishment of it. Last Tuesday five delegations from the various parts of the state visited the Governor and conferred with him on matters touching their interests. A large delegation of men of color visited Secretary of State Ramer the same morning.

The Star is grieved to know that, for some reasons, our undertakers of color failed to get seven bodies of negroes who died this month.

Early Struggles of Enterprising Young Virginian Who Got Training For Future Career While Working on Wage of 50 Cents Per Week—Church Official and Property Owner. By JAMES D. CARROTHERS. Lexington, Va.—One of the most remarkable examples of business success as the result of personal energy, coupled with perseverance and enterprise of a high degree, is furnished in the career of Deacon Harry L. Walker of Lexington, Va., who, without assistance or borrowed capital, but within the past ten years forged to the front as one of Lexington's substantial business men. Beginning life as a very poor boy, today he is the proprietor of one of Lexington's leading sanitary 2014 HARRY L. WALKER. markets, is popular with both races alike and is the owner of much valuable real estate. Lexington is a beautiful little mountain city of perhaps 4,000 inhabitants, picturesquely situated amid the grandeur of Blue Ridge scenery near the head of the famous Shenandoah valley. There is about Lexington an air of southern aristocracy. It proudly preserves the best traditions of the south. Here are located two very noted seats of learning—the Washington and Lee university and the Virginia Military institute. Here, too, repose the ashes of those two most celebrated and best beloved southern chieftains. General Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson. Both of these famous men were at one time residents of Lexington and teachers in its famous institutions. Deacon Walker was born in Lexington, July 4. 1875. He is therefore still a young man, not yet being forty. He is truly a self made man. When he was eleven years of age he was working for 50 cents a week, driving cattle. He worked at that same place as a meat cutter until he was thirty-one. During that time the firm had changed hands, four times. But he never changed, and during this period of his employment his wages were gradually increased until he was receiving $100 a month. At the age of nineteen he was married, without possessing scarcely so much of this world's goods as a second sult. He was fortunate in securing as a helpmate Miss Eliza Bannister, a handsome and industrious Lexington girl, who had become a trained nurse in Washington. She encouraged and helped him, and for a year they practiced the most rigorous economy. At the end of their first year Mr. Walker was able to make a $500 investment in property. To this first purchase more real estate was gradually added. He secured a home site of thirteen acres just at the edge of Lexington, upon which he erected a commodious dwelling. Later he built a model slaughter house, the first of which Lexington could boast. In 1908 he went into the meat business for himself with a capital of $310. His business now averages $1,000 a month, and he employs several men. His real estate, including his place of business, is conservatively valued at $20,000. He is a large and powerful man, generous, prompt and kindly. His success is the more inspiring and remarkable because it has been achieved in a small, conservative place through self denial and honest business enterprise. He has never indulged in what we call a "plunge," but is known as a careful business man. Mr. Walker is a deacon in the First Baptist church of Lexington, which is a large and influential congregation with a beautiful brick and stone edifice valued at $80,000. It seats 1,500 people, is electrically lighted and steam heated. It is one of the strong churches of Virginia and has numbered among its pastors such men as the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss of Brooklyn. Dr. W. T. Johnson of Richmond and the writer of this sketch. Several children have been born to the Walkers, but only one survives. Miss Nannie, who is a student in Hartshorn college, Richmond. A son, Harry Thomas, a most promising young man, who was in business with his father, has but recently passed away. FRONT LINE WORK FOR THE MASSES Some Good Results Obtained In North Carolina. Number of Persons Interested In Improving Conditions In Rural District During the Past Year Is Encouraging—How Professor Wesley Jonos 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 grand 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. 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 dually 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.

One of the most industrious and devout men of our race in the Christian ministry is the Rev. Dr. S. A. Howell of Newport News, Va. He is the honored president of the Afro-Christian convention, which has a large membership, many splendid church edifices and capable ministers. The convention also has within its jurisdiction a large number of well organized Sunday schools and conducts a thrifty work for home and foreign missions. The women's national organization of the convention holds its national convention biennially. ```markdown ``` At the recent meeting of the American Christian convention held in Springfield, O., the Rev. Dr. Howell M. B. REV. DR. S. A. HOWELL. bore the greetings of the Afro-Christian convention, in which he in part said: As president of the Afro-Christian convention I have been chosen to bear greetings to you and also to assure you of its continued interest in the magnificent work God is blessing you to do. We are not forgetful of the kinship which exists between the two bodies. When we say kinship we have no allusion to blood, but spiritual relationship, with the teaching of the Scripture, God our Father, Christ our Baybury; hence we are brethren. We are all believers in the peculiar virtories you have achieved, but wish for you the highest possible success in the future, devoutly praying that "as thy days so shall thy strength be." We recognize the importance of the task commitment to your hands, the responsibility and standards of duty you are called to face, the amplitudes of vision and opportunities which lift themselves before you. But your past achievements prove to us that you are equal to the task and can grasp the vision of the ultimate imperatives and walk the path of duty to unspeakable altitudes. It is with no little degree of joy that I look on this mighty nose of your face of great value that you have assembled to do business for God. I take this opportunity in expressing our profound appreciation for the help you have been to us in making us what we are today. Shall the treachery of memory or ingratitude cause us to forget those whose names will be illusorious? First, those of the south-Revs. William B. Wellons, R. H. Holland, Mills B. Barrett, deceased; Rev. J. W. Wellons, D. D.; Rev. J. Pressman, Terry celler of the shield of Giverny Liberty, but then the editor of the Christian Sun; Rev. Daniel A. Long, D. D., and Rev. William S. Long, D. D., of North Carolina, whose names are in the home of every colored Christian family in North Carolina, and Dr. W. W. Staley of Suffolk, Va., who has been in our midst for thirty years and has always been ready to give sweet counsel whenever called to help with child care, not to mention some of those of the north who came to our rescue also. They are as follows: Rev. George Young of Carlisle, N. Y., the first president of the Freedman's Literary and Theological Institute, at Franklinton, N. C., now known as the Franklinton Christian college; Rev. Beck, Rev. Ulery, Rev. McReynolds and Rev. Z. McReynolds and died at his post in 1913 appertending the work of building the greater Franklinton. I cannot fall to mention Rev. John Blood, who is doubtless making as great a sacrifice as any one above mentioned. Last, but not least, I wish to mention the sainted Rev. Josiah W. Watson, D. D., of Dayton, O., who said to me thirty years ago, "Go to Franklinton, N. C.; I have made arrangements for your education." These are colossal figures in the history of our organization, organized our other prescheduled for us and ordained our first ministers. This is a clear demonstration that that saying, "The Negro and the white man of the south hate each other." is erroneous. Then in 1863 we had about ten churches, six or eight preachers and about 500 members. Today we have in the United States, the West Indies and South America about 25,000 members, about 300 ministers, nearly 400 churches, with well organized Sunday schools, choirs, woman's home and foreign missionary conventions and four Sunday school conventions. Thus far we have moved in forty-six years. This is too short a time to mention. We are in view of the circumstances, we have done well, emancipated, as we were, largely destitute of money, education and morals, and, while we have made good showing in all the above mentioned essentials of religion and race development, we are by no means beyond the point where races of superior advantages should do other than lend us a helping hand. Head of Wilberforce University Breaks Two Ribs by Fall on Ice. The news of the accident to Dr. William Saunders Scarborough, president of the Wilberforce (O.) university, which he sustained by a fall on the ice pavement in going from one building to another at the university New Year's night, came as a great shock to his many friends throughout the country, as, in like manner, to the faculty and students of the school. Two of Dr. Scarborough's ribs were broken, and he was quite badly shaken up otherwise. Notwithstanding this severe fall, President Scarborough performed the duty of presiding at a meeting in Shorter hall, at the university, that night before retiring from the day's routine of activities. It was after he had retired that the effects of the fall became apparent to him, and the next morning Dr. Galloway was hurriedly called in to attend the president, whom he found suffering intensely. Dr. Scarborough was not aware, however, that any of his ribs were broken until informed by the attending physician. Everything possible is being done for his comfort and speedy recovery. The race at large regrets the misfortune which has come to this noted scholar and useful man of international fame and ripe experience in its educational work. Many letters and telegrams from persons in most all sections of the country have been received expressing sympathy and reregret for the accident to this great champion of higher education. SPINGARN SPEAKS THREE TIMES IN LINCOLN'S HOME National Association's Chairman Tells Illinois Folks of Its Great Work. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, who is touring the middle west in the interest of the association he represents, on Sunday, Jan. 17, addressed three meetings in Springfield. Ill. Here in the home of Abraham Lincoln he told how the national association was organized as a result of the terrible race riots in Springfield in the summer of 1908 which shocked the entire country. It will be remembered that a mob containing many of the town's "best citizens" raged for two days, killing and wounding scores of colored people and driving thousands from the city. Dr. Spingarn told of the great work the association is now carrying on through its Washington branch and through its legislative agents in Washington, who keep the association constantly informed of the doings of congress. The first week in January the Washington branch did a characteristically brilliant piece of work. The amendment to the immigration bill proposing to exclude Negro aliens regardless of their ability to meet the literacy test was introduced by Senator Reed of Missouri, who was conducting a general fillbuster against the bill and who brought in his amendment to delay a final roll call. It passed the senate by a vote of 29 to 25. On receipt of the news from Washington the national association wired all its branches, which, with the national officers, immediately got in communication with members of congress. A committee from the Washington branch literally made a door to door canvas of the house office building and when necessary also called congressmen from the floor of the house. A brief against the amendment was prepared by a committee from the Branch and placed on the desk of every member of congress. The same day the house voted to defeat the amendment 252 to 75. Dr. Spingarn also told of the fight the association is now making to defeat the anti-intermarriage bill which is in the senate, having passed the house, and to defeat the District of Columbia Jimcrow bill, also now in the house. He told of the important work the association did in connection with the Smith-Lever bill last year and of its success in killing a bill which was introduced to segregate colored employees throughout the federal service of the United States. After leaving Springfield Dr. Spingarn will speak in St. Joseph, Des Molines, Omaha, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Toledo and other cities. The committee which arranged the meetings in Springfield is Mrs. J. T. Johnson, Major George W. Ford, Dr. S. A. Ware Miss Alle Williams, Mrs. Emma Singleton, Dr. Ewing, Mrs. Emma J. Goems and others. Bright Future For New Monrovia, Fla. New Monrovia is the name of a suburb of West Palm Beach, Fla., which is inhabited solely by colored people. They have begun the publication of a weekly paper, the New Monrovia Journal, which is well edited and carries much interesting news of this thriving settlement, which bids fair to become an important center of business in the West Palm Beach section of the state. The possibilities for future development are bright. One of Kentucky's Leading Educators Mrs. Sophia P. Craig of Danville Ky., recently received a certificate from the Kentucky board of education empowering her to teach any where in the state without license or examination. This comes as a reward for many years of efficient service in the educational work of the state. says the Lexington (Ky.) Weekly News. WACO PEOPLE ARE MOVING FORWARD Their Enterprises in Thrifty Texas Town Reviewed. LARGE CAPITAL INVESTED. Personal Investigation of Conditions as They Exist Among Our People Shows That Great Progress Is Being Made Along Many Lines—Good Influence of R. L. Smith. Waco, Tex.—Should an excursion from many of the northern cities be run annually to this city, those who took advantage of such an excursion would see an object lesson in thrift and commercial progress on the part of the 9,000 colored people who regard this town as their home, and away down here in Waco my eyes were opened to the possibilities of commercial success among the race. Among these 9,000 hustling people of the race I was made to recall Dr. Washington's enlightening command in his Atlanta exposition address a number of years ago, "Let down your bucket where you are." The colored people in Waco have not only dipped down their buckets, but they are hauling or pulling them up overflowing with the richness of success. Waco has a total population of 36,000. Just one-fourth of this population is identified with our race. They had nothing to start with. Their tools were crude with which they were supplied to erect or mine, but nevertheless they have succeeded in accumulating property here whose aggregate value reaches $1,000,000, and they have succeeded in establishing and maintaining business enterprises that represent an investment of $250,000, and they have been sufficiently provident to have deposited in the banks to their credit $150,000, $60,000 of which is deposited in the bank run by our people in this town. As evidence of the soundness of this bank, of its careful management, I learned while here that the other banks in this city will readily underwrite for a depositor any amount he desires to deposit in this race bank. R. L. Smith—"Bob" Smith as he is familiar known—established this bank and continues to guide its destinies. He is a man composed of little else save energy and ability. This community of 9,000 colored people own and support eight groceries, two tailor shops, three insurance companies, two shoe repairing shops, two millinery stores, one music store, one bank, two moving picture theaters, eight restaurants, one power vacuum cleaning company, three printing establishments, eight blacksmith shops, one drug store, one confectionery, one jewelry shop, ten barber shops, two wood yards, one overall factory, four real estate firms and two undertakers. To illustrate how enterprising the colored real estate men here are, I might state that I was given an automobile ride to a new addition just recently laid out by W. S. Willis, the leading real estate dealer, and was surprised to see that before placing a single lot on the market he had first laid out and macadamized the streets, laid granolithic sidewalks and erected at the entrance to the addition a large beautiful stone arch some thirty feet high. Had I not been told this addition was the property of colored men platted for colored buyers, I would have thought it an addition especially designed for rich and aristocratic families. There are three fairly good schools with twenty-four teachers. Paul Quinn college, an A. M. E. institution, which is doing praiseworthy work, is also located here, although greatly handicapped for the need of funds to erect more suitable and comfortable buildings. The great A. M. E. church should take a livelier interest in providing for this institution than it has in the past. Three A. M. E., three M. E., eight Baptist and one C. M. E. churches, a total of fifteen, fill the "long felt want," as we newspaper men would say, for religious training. If the brother in the south is long on any one thing more than another it is religion, and it requires many churches to satiate his appetite for religion. Waco, like many other southern cities, might get along with fewer churches, perhaps. The teachers, twenty-four in number, with the two dentists, one pharmacist and eight physicians, make up what might be called Waco's professional class. There is no colored lawyer here, though the field is open for one of ability and hustle. R. L. Smith, to use the vernacular of the street, is "the big noise" down here. It was Bob Smith who organized the Farmers' Improvement society, the biggest thing in Texas. It was Bob Smith who organized and has successfully conducted the bank here. It is Bob Smith who injects considerable of the hustle to be found among the race in Waco. But working with him, just as earnest and just as achieving, are a number of progressive men of the race, among whom are Dr. J. W. Frida, H. C. Johnson, H. R. Eills, M. Hyson, W. L.

New York.-The report of the general education board, issued Dec. 31. shows that a large number of institutions for the education of our race in the south have received generous financial aid from funds for that purpose under its control during the past eight years. The report in part says: "Between 1906 and 1912 seventy-four schools in Alabama were thus aided toward buildings and equipment costing $54,153, the Jeanes fund of the general education board contributed $18,888; Negro patrons of the schools, $35,265; toward $17,690 spent in maintenance in the year 1910-11, the fund gave $1,068, county boards $9,070 and Negro patrons $7,552. "At the present time schools are fortunate if they obtain as principals and teachers the graduates of one of the better industrial schools for Negroes. The general education board has therefore assisted some of the more efficient of these industrial training schools as follows: Hampton institute, $138,000; Tuskegee institute, $135,483.48; Spelman seminary, $196,912.88; other institutions, $85,384.77. "With the same end in view, gifts toward improved physical equipment have been made to a number of secondary schools owned or controlled by Negroes themselves—namely, Waters Normal institute, Winston, N. C.; Thompson institute, Lumberton, N. C.; Jeruel academy, Athens, Ga.; Americus institute, Americus, Ga.; Howe institute, Memphis, Tenn.; Florida Baptist academy, Jacksonville, Fl., and others. "It has been recognized that the higher education of Negroes must also be provided for. The reasoning followed in dealing with colleges and universities is equally valid in this connection. If primary and secondary schools are to have good teachers, principals and supervisors provision must be made for higher education." Besides the amounts contributed to the schools designated above, $144,000 was distributed among the following institutions: Atlanta Baptist college, Atlanta university, Fisk university, Lane college, Leland university, Livingstone college, Miles Memorial college, Paine college, Shaw university and the Virginia Union seminary. WORKERS' CONFERENCE AT THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Annual Gathering of Business Men Scheduled to Begin Jan. 21. The workers' conference at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute will be held on Thursday, Jan. 21. The subject selected for discussion is "The Schools and the Hard Times Situation," under the following subdivisions: First.—How the "hard times" situation has affected our community; second. What our school is doing to help our community in the present financial situation. (a) To get temporary relief. (b) To get permanent relief. (c) The opportunity that the present situation offers to teach the saving habit. (d) The opportunity of the present situation for initiating and increasing school extension work. A number of special invitations have been extended important citizens of the south-white and colored-to be present and speak at the workers' day conference. Among others, Mr. J. T. Hollerman of Atlanta on the subject, "Cotton Raising and the Present Economic Situation." It is also proposed to invite a successful colored cotton farmer to tell what he is planning to do with respect to growing cotton during this year. A representative of the financial interests of the south has been invited to address the conference on "The Financial Situation From the Standpoint of Credit." Invitations will be extended to Mr. G. L. Comer of Eufaula, president of the Alabama Bankers' association, and Mr. R. M. Hobble, a wholesale grocery merchant of Montgomery, Ala., through whose intelligent direction many Alabama farmers are planning to turn to wheat raising this year in stead of cotton raising. It is planned in connection with the general subject of credits, advances, etc., to ask Mr. J. O. Ross, president of the Atlanta State Savings bank, himself a planner and one of the race's most successful men, to speak on the subject of "Credits and Advances."
