Denver Star

Because Jones is friendless and helpless, shall we let him hang without an effort to save him? The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 71 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 30, 1915 FIVE CENTS A COPY quarter of a mile from the Pyramids, we came upon it, the rude lion's body struggling out of the sand, the human head lifted up in that puzzling, stiff majesty which we all know. So little of the body is now visible, and the features are so much damaged, that it is difficult to imagine what impression this gigantic statute produced, when all the huge proportions stood revealed and color gave life-likeness to the giant face. In spite of the broken condition of its flat nose, it has not lost its character. There are the heavy eyebrows, the prominent cheek bones, the thick lips, and the blurred, but onlooking eyes, all of which, no doubt, tell of an ancient civilization of the black race over three thousand years before Christ. How long had that unknown civilization existed before it produced this art? Alabama Judge Wants Lynchers Indicted. Montgomery, Ala.—Circuit Judge J. W. Pearson, has charged the Elmore county grand-jury at Wetumpka, in investigating the double lynching last Monday, to return indictments against any one, no matter how high the office they held or how prominent they are socially. "Sheriff Jackson should have received some wounds in defense of his prisoners," said Judge Pearson. The investigation has been called by Governor O'Neal, follow the lynching of Ed and Will Smith, colored murder suspects. Leaves Money For Colored Schools. The will of George H.

ROBERT E. WILLIAMS' VIEWS OF EGYPT. When the pyramids were constructed, perhaps Egyptian theology was not born, and if it were never born perhaps no civilization would endure without a theology or religion. When there are no moral laws to hold men in restraint they soon go to decay. It is a strange fact that nearly all of the Egyptologists in their interpretation of this ancient civilization give slight mention to the fact that the statutes and images of the kings and queens which are found intact today are nearly all of distinct Negro features. Queen Nefret and Prince Rahetap, who lived B. C. 3700 are distinctly of this type. The ascent of the pyramids is not very difficult, unless the person is very weak in the legs or attempts to carry before him a preposterous stomach. There is no difficulty in going up alone; occasionally the climber encounters a step three or four feet high, but he can always flank it. This is the time you need the assistance of an Arab. This boosting Moslem which comes up behind earns his money by grunting every time you reach a step, but he is not lifting a pound. As if however, this is not enough, he shouts encouraging messages: "Cheer up, sire; hooray! on top dam soon." When the summit is reached this individual demands more bachshesh than the guide. if he stands at the base and casts his eyes along the steps of its massive sides, and up the dizzy height to where the summit seems to pierce the solid blue, he will not complain of want of size. If he walks around one, wading in the loose, hot sand under a mid-day sun his respect for the Pyramids will increase every moment. Around the Pyramids are numerous half-clad vendros who make their living selling spurious coins. "Look a here, you take dis; dis vere much old; he from mummy; see, here I get him in tomb. Five dollars." "Nonsense, I'll give you a shilling," returns the other. "Thank'e vere much; give me de mon." Before two minutes you encounter another selling the very same coins. He wants ten dollars for them, and, if doubted, will swear by the beard of the Prophet that they were the original coins paid to the builders of the Pyramids. As a matter of fact, these coins are made in America or Europe. We had been wondering where the Sphinx was, expecting it to be as conspicuous as the Pyramids. Suddenly turning a sand hill about a Georgia Assassinates Southern Chivalry. Disregarding the Sanctity of Womanhood. Women's Bodies Riddled with Bullets by Bloodthirsty Mob. How Long? What Next? Why Persecutest Thou Our Women? Great God! Is there in Georgia no woman bold enough to take up the cudgels for her sex? Will not Georgia's womanhood fight the now pastime of the mob? Will not the women organize and draw the line somewhere in this disgraceful business? Women have captured the ear of the public before and can do so now. Can Southern white women sit still and see women, of whatever race, manhandled and insulted, lynched and riddled with bullets? The blackest tale from the European battlefields of German atrocities rivals not one whit the terrible barbarity of the Georgia mob that on January 14th "stormed" the Casper county jail, "overpowered" the sheriff and seized two colored men and two colored women, all four accused of assault on an officer of the law. and lynched them, men and women, riddling their bodies with bullets afterwards. Even Russia, often referred to by "civilized" America as "barbarous," does not vent her prejudice and spite on helpless Jewish women in this manner. The Associated Press dispatch reports "the girls asked for mercy,but the noose was tightened about their necks and shut off their breath." Can any tales of German atrocites committed in the heat of battle rival this horror? And, in the words of the New York Sun: "Can Alabama, whose governor has been scourging her lynchers as the meanest of cowards, match the Georgia atrocity? Can insurgent Mexico exceed the revolting brutality of it? What is the Hon. John Martin Slaton, Governor of the State, going to do to redeem it in the eyes of his horrified countrymen?"—Amsterdam News. READ THE STAR. Editor Monroe Trotter Thrills Western Audiences. St. Louis Argus Speaks Glowingly of Him. Equality Is Equality. Nothing More, Nothing Less. Monticello mob prolonged the tragedy as much as possible. The mob seems to have had only one piece of rope and put the victims to death one at a time. Bula Barber, a girl about 20 years old, was the first to be hanged, and her swaying body was riddled with bullets. The body was cut down, the rope removed from the neck, and placed about the neck of her sister Ella, who was also hanged and shot. Jesse Barber, the sixteen-year old boy was the next victim. His body was lowered, the rope removed, and placed about the neck of Dan Barber, the father, who had stood by watching his three children killed. His body was riddled with bullets and left hanging when the mob dispersed. Nowhere in the State is this fiendish act defended. The only excuse offered for it anywhere is in some circles in Monticello. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 30, 1915 We are proud of our people for giving Mr. Trotter such a magnificent audience Monday evening. We are proud of the splendid representation of intelligence and commercial progress; proud of the close and respectful attention given the speaker; proud of the substantial sum of money raised to futher the great cause he pleads. It was right that we should so honor Mr. Trotter. In so doing, we honored not merely him, but we honored ourselves in that we endorsed a great principle. It is well that we keep one fact clearly in mind—that is that segregation is and can only be, degrading and humiliating. Webster once said: "In war there are no Sundays.' So in moral questions, there are no politics, no creeds, no distinctions. When a great moral question is raised, there is no black, no white. We are all men and women. All races are one—they are a unit. The white race is part of that unit; the black race is a part—they are one. There is one great, terrible fact in regard to the colored race today; it is that millions are discriminated against in this matter of segregation. There is nothing for the rest of the race—the decent white section of it—to do, but to devote themselves to abolishing this segregation. Law-Respeceing Citizens in North, East and West Sharply Denounce Hanging of Father, Son and Two Daughters in Southern State-Barbarous Act Called Worst in History. Atlanta, Ga.—The brutal lynching of Dan Barber, his son Jesse, and two daughters, Bula and Ella, at Monticello last week, leaves the State of Georgia with the blackest record on earth, so far as, crime against humanity goes. The work of the lawless citizens, those who form lynching bands for such an atrocious and cruel deed as the one committed in Monticello last week, has all along been classed with the punishment of the Jews in darkest Russia, but it is seriously doubted that Russia or any other country's subjects would go so far as to mob a whole family, including two helpless young women, for such a trivial cause as that given for the lynching of the Barber family. Education, progress, are worth nothing else now to the colored man, except as helping that argument. We should be thrifty, industrious, successful, rich, educated, only as an argument that the colored race has a right to a place side by side and equal with the white. We wish we could impress this truth upon every Negro. Our race is on trial today. There are those who say we merit only a lower place in the social scale. The best thing the colored man can do, then, with his life, with his money, with his character, is to throw them into the scale of the argument and make segregation kick the beam. Governor Slaton is reported to have said that he will offer a reward for the arrest and conviction of these dastardly murderers. Whether he will do this or no the Governor and the good thinking people of the State of Georgia ought to know that the eyes of the civilized world are upon them, and will anxiously wait to see if they intend to relieve the State of this damnable curse that has been placed upon it by that brutal and lawless band at Monticello, or bluff about it as most of the Southern State authorities do when a lynching occurs. Chief of Police Williams, it is said, had been told that Dan Barber was operating a "blind tiger" in his home and went to the place to search for liquor. The Chief was alone. When he reached the Barber house he found Barber there with his son Jesse and two daughters and several others. According to the Chief he was assaulted a few minutes afterwards by members of the Barber family and beaten up. The Chief says that Dan Barber held a pistol to his head and Jesse Barber and the two girls beat him about the face and body with their fists and with clubs. We refuse to recognize any limitations of rights or race. Equal rights for all! Else, News reached the sheriff that a fight was in progress at Barber's home, and Sheriff Ezell hurried there alone. This occurred on Wednesday night. During Thursday there was much excitement in Monticello, and there were threats of lynching, but it seems that Sheriff Ezell, as usual, took no extra precautions for the safety of the prisoners. The feeling continued to grow, and on Thursday night masked men went to the jail, overpowered Sheriff Ezell and two deputies, as they always do so easily, and took the four members of the Barber family from their cells. The mob took Barber, his son and two daughters to the outskirts of the town and put them to death. There have been many lynchings in Georgia, but none so fiendishly cruel as this one of the Barber family. Ordinarily when several are lynched, they are put to death at the same time, but the the Denver Star FIVE CENTS A COPY. After Thrills Western Louis Argus Speaks of Him. Nothing More, Nothing Less. tear up the American Constitution and dissolve the American Republic! Every citizen, black or white, who is liable to be hanged for crime is entitled to vote for rulers, who is responsible to the State has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Shall Northern civilization sink to the level of Southern barbarism? Was it nothing that, in the lonely quiet of the plantation, there fell on the unpitied body of the slave every torture which hellish ingenuity could devise? Was it nothing that, as husband and father, mother and child, the Negro drained to its dregs all the bitterness that could be pressed into his cup? That torn with whips and dogs, starved, hunted, tortured, racked, he cried—"How long, O Lord, how long?" Was all this nothing, that there shall be heaped upon us insults and indignities as freemen, not a whit less than those shown us as slaves? But why this prejudice? Why this discrimination? Why this segregation? The question occasionally has been asked There never yet has been an answer-there is no answer! Is it because we were once slaves-for two hundred years or so slaves? Is it? There is no race on earth that has not been in slavery at one period. This very Saxon blood our white brothers boast, was enslaved for five centuries in Europe. They were slaves-these white Americans! Then notice this fact. No race, except one, ever won its freedom from slavery by the sword. Only one race in history actually won its freedom by the sword—and that the colored race—and the only instance St. Domingo. This white race that holds its head so high and treats the colored race so contemptuously, did not win its liberty by the sword. They would be in slavery yet, if their liberty had not been gotten for them! They did not even rise in insurrection, these white slaves. (Continued on Page Four.) he tragedy as much as possible.

Presiding Elder Ward will preach at the morning hour and Rev. David R. Jones, of Cheyenne, Wyo., will preach afternoon and evening. Brother Jones takes front rank as a gospel preacher and you will do well to hear him. The choir of Campbell and the pastors and congregations of Campbell and Scott M.

It is difficult to determine who were the greater beneficiaries from the morning services at Zion and Shorter last Sunday, the pastors or the congregations. It is reported that Revs. Over and Pope not only demonstrated remarkable power of adaptability, but preached effective sermons. Not only so, but both of them received calls pending the expiration of the term of the present incumbents. The exchange of pulpits was most gratifying and can but result in a closer fellowship between the two churches. After a month's absence, we are glad to welcome back into our midst and into the choir, Mrs. U. G. Brown, who returned last week from Wichita, Kan., accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Fountain. Our ministerial fraternity was entertained at a turkey dinner at the parsonage last Tuesday. Those present were Revs. A. M. Ward, D. E. Over, J. A. Thos, Hazel, H. B. Brown, A. E. Reynolds, Jas. Washington and P. J. Price. Our pastor is greatly obligated to Sisters Unity Hall, Fannie Brown, Mattie P. King and Mr. Lloyd Hall for the charming service rendered on this occasion. Cupid has it that Rev. A. M. Ward is going East next week and that something is going to happen. Shorter welcomed into her communion last Sunday evening Mrs. Myrtle Hill, 1418 E. 24th Ave; Mrs. Mary Giles, 1625 E. 30th; Mrs. Mildred Coats, 805 Washington, and Mrs. Calie Campbell, 1398 So.

D.. Minister. Residence, 2356 Humboldt 8t. The Rev. R. L. Pope of Shorter church occupied the pulpit last Sunday morning, during which time our pastor spoke at Shorter. Rev. Pope's sermon was a masterpiece and electrified the entire congregation and resulted in one addition to the church. The congregation desires to express its grateful appreciation of the message and hopes that Brother Pipe will return. The exchange was manifestly helpful from each side, as our pastor met with a most hearty response from the Shorter congregation and greatly enjoyed the experience of speaking from that pulpit. It is his hope that this mutual courtesy will result in a closer fellowship between the two congregations. The executive board, of our association met last Wednesday at Colorado Springs with the St. John's church, of which the Rev. W. B. M. Scott is pastor. A very pleasant and profitable meeting was enjoyed by the brethren. The next meeting will be held in Pueblo in April. Next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 the ladies of the Mission Circle will hold a meeting at the church which will be addressed by Dr. A. Houghton Rodgers of South Africa. The subject, "What I Saw During Five Years in South Africa," is one that should greatly interest our people and greatly stimulate missionary enthusiasm. Everyone will be welcome. Dr. Frank T. Bayley of the First Congregational church gave an address to the Men's Bible class last Tuesday evening. The Women's Bible class were guests at the service and all greatly enjoyed the lecture, Dr. Morse of the First Baptist church will speak to the men next month. The first Sunday in February the three Baptist churches will hold a covenant and communion service at Central. Every member of our congregation is urged to be there.

Smith of the New York Chronicle, Buffalo, says it is rumored that President Wilson will not appoint a colored man to the office of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Smith attributes the president's attitude in the matter to southern influence at Washington. This is very well put when we take into consideration that the president himself is of southern birth. Mr. Smith also be believes our race press should inquire into the matter with a view to having the president tell what he intends to do about filling the office of recorder of deeds, as he has promised the office should go to a member of the race. If Mr. Wilson did make such a promise we see nothing in the way to prevent him from keeping his word. What say ye, brother editors? Charles Mulford's Rise to Prominence.

Ransom says About Our Progress, PRAISE FOR HON, E J. SCOTT R ceeeierorrs by Grose tilndeiter Individuals In City of Houston. By RALPH W. TYLER, Houston, Tex.—The Rev. Dr. Rever- dy C. Ransom, the polished editor of the A. M. E. Review and one of the race’s most eloquent pulpit orators, says “the Texas Negro is the coming Negro in this country; he looms up big on the racial horizon.” My tour through the Lone Star State confirms the Rev. Dr. Ransom’s statement. Dr. Booker T. Washington, possessed as he is of indomitable energy and wonder- ful capacity for organizing and achiev- ing, would have builded Tuskegee to its present beacon ligbt standing, but his building operations would bave been attended with more difficulties bed he not found in Texas, and in this city, that quiet, prodigious worker and master of details, Emmett J. Scott, to assist him in bis work. In some ways it is said that the Tex- as white man, as a rule, takes little in- terest in our race, and yet the state of ‘Texas contributes more for the educa- tion of the Negro than any other south- ern state. In this state the public school buildings for colored youths are far superior to any other southern state, the equipment is better and the teacbing force the equal of many states in which opportunities and rights and privileges for the race are. presumed to be better, though it still maintains sep- arate schools. In this city, whose total population is 130,000. the phenomenal growth of the city bas benefited the Negroes as well as the whites, for there is property to the value of $200,000 on the tax duplicate of this city in the name of Negroes, the same people bave $150,000 inyested In business enter: prises, and they have $500,000 in cash deposited in the banks of this city as a reserve fund for a rainy day or for taking advantage of good investments, There are fourteen schools for the. colored people in this city, one of them being a most substantia! and imposing | building, and all of them average. in size and equipment, far better than those in cities of southern states other than Texas. Like the average commu- nity of our people, there is a strong re- ligious sentiment here, and fifty-one churches, thirty-five of which are Bap- ust, stand as monuments to a mystic deity and to draw heavily apon the hardworking, industrious persons for support. There fs quite a professiona: class also—fourteen physicians, six dentists, seven pharmacists aud one lawyer. ‘The largest grocery store, con: ducted by a man of the race. is to be found here in Houston. owned and con- | ducted by R. L. Andrews. Fully two- thirds of his patrons are white, and this In Texas. He buys In heavy quan- titles—carload lots—and so is prepared | to sell at the lowest possible rate. \ In Houston he has nearly all of the sweet potato tride merely because he | is the heaviest buyer. “He does not only @ retail business, but a whotesnie| business as well, selling to many of the best white grocers. No name ap- pears on any of his delivery wagons. | and no name appears on the window or above the door of his big store, but every citizen in town knows the loca: | tion of the store. Mr. Andrews is one) of those men who have put a lot of religion tn their business as well as) business tn their religion. Another big character and potential, factor bere in causing the Texan color. ed man to loom up big on the racial horizon is J. B. Bell, the real estate dealer and capttalist. He is too mod est to boast of his achievements, but I learned—and correctly, too—that starting a few years ago on a borrow ed capital of $150, Mr. Bell's rent rot! today amounts to more than $000 per month.

Perhaps, of whose colored citizens the Rev. Mr. Ransom speaks so hopelessly Editor Love, with his strong, uncom promising weekly, stands guard here against any backward step affecting the race, elther on its part or thc whites, Among the race men her who are laboring most unselfishly for its advance in Houston are J.

LEST WE FORGET. ppkycenouice that chara. 1s by cone stream of big politicians NOW (Rep.) always calling upon the powers that fhe In the state house. Some arg from Denver and some are from Pueblo, We often ask ourselves this question, that when it was given out that the Republican party had no money to give out, but needed men and women of worth to push their campaign, where were these over-zealous office: seekers? How much of their real time, money and effort did they sac- rifice to ‘put the Republican party in power? To what places-in the state did they brave the criticism, accept the contumely and forego the pleas- ures of the day to do real Republican missionary work? Were they absent and hiding in the bushes waiting for something to drop? Now that the Republican party has a few jobs to give, they are FIRST—these absent ones—to be considered! We call the attention of the successful candidates to the record of each applicant. Just see how many times and in how many places under the many Republican ad- ministrations these applicants have served. Why not be fair and mindful of someone else's welfare and consid- eration. The Star would like to see the one who has done the most, sac- rificed the most and received the least, receive the clerkship appoint- ‘ment.

WOMAN.” This book, which is just from the press, is the third book by Mr. Tapp, inw hich he interprets the Sex-Law of the Bible. His first book on the sub- ject, “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 rea- son 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 ef the world. Let Us Have Your Patronage G. C. CRAIG Tomeorial Artist BARBER SHOP Cc. A.

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 Zion. 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 Colfax 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 establishment 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. The Star is glad to note that Governor Carlson will not be turned aside from his intended course in the accomplishment of the administration pledges, by having some daily newspaper to pull him away from his party by fulsome flattery and cajolery. Our governor has a level head. GEO. GROSS APPOINTED MESSEN- GER TO SECRETARY OF STATE RAMER. According to promise to give some substantial recognition to the Negro constituency of the Republican party, Mr. Geo. Gross of Colorado Springs was appointed messenger to succeed Mr. James J. Manuel who has held the position in the Secretary of State's office for the past two years. It is still hoped that a clerical position which has been sought by some Republican workers will also be secured. The Republican party has not nor will it deceive its faithful followers. Just give them time. It is a party of constructive methods and action. THE LINCOLN-DOUGLASS TORIUM NOTES. $2.00 1.00 .50 rate, all subscriptions must be paid ation.

If, back in those days, when our white brothers were slaves, a black man had landed on their shores, he might well have said: "This white race doesn't deserve freedom; they are just naturally menial. They don't deserve recognition; they are naturally inferior. They don't deserve equality of rights; they just naturally ought to be segregated." It will avoid friction He and I cannot get along side by side. And the black man saying that about the white man five or six hundred years ago, would have been just as right, just as reasonable, just as logical and as just, as the white man is today in saying it of the black man. Well, let us work out our own salvation. Ask no odds—only demand justice! Let us show these haughty, prejudicial brothers of ours what what we can do—in education, in industry, in making our mark in the world. Then we will compel the white man to write our name, not at the bottom of the list, with a line between-segregation fashion—but make them write it on the same marble and in the same line. We will compel them to lift us out of the degradation of a false inferiority and stand us at their side, and be proud to do so. If true to our heritage and our lineage, we shall yet drag these Negromaniacs at our heels and they shall recognize the black man as a brother and equal. HARRY AND ETHELYN KRATON'S WORLD RENOWNED HOOP- LAND SHOW. At her home, 2228 Downing Ave., Mrs. Ethelyn Kraton, owner of the show, was visited by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Johnson and Mr. John Kraton, brother to Harry Kraton, deceased. The show lately played at the Pantages in Salt Lake City and while en route to Kansas City stopped A woman in a long dress is holding a flower. over a few days visiting Mrs. Ethelyn Kraton. Mrs. Ethelyn Kraton, wife of Harry Kraton, the originator of the educated hoop act, traveled ten years before her husband died Oct. 20, 1912, in England. They were sought everywhere for their act before her husband's death and since that time his brother John assumed the management of the act and they are now finishing a most successful tour throughout the Pacific coast and the entire West. Beginning with Kansas City, Mo., their Eastern bookings commence, and because of the great European war, the Kratons were compelled to cancel all engagements in France, Germany and England. SEGREGAT ON BREEDS STRIFE Hundreds Hear Dr. Springarn Plead Our Cause at Ohio's Capital. In his address delivered in the auditorium of the chamber of commerce in Columbus, O., recently Dr. Joel E Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, among other things said; "The real cause of the present war in Europe was a contempt for weaker people, which expressed itself in a desire to colonize and so acquire the land of these people. There is a perfect orgy of Negro baiting in congress at the present time, and when I read what those men there say I wonder if they are as ignorant on all other questions that I don't know about as they are on this question that I do know something about. There are two bills before congress now, one to make it a crime for the races to intermarry in the District of Columbia and the other providing segregation. My experience is that not one Negro in 1,000,000 wants to marry a white person." This statement was loudly applauded. "These bills are dangerous to civilization, as they put black women at the mercy of white men. These bills in congress are signs of the black man's progress. When a race rises in the social scale the friction with the other race increases. We new abolitionists come to you, and we say 'Wake up, black folk; a golden opportunity is yours.' "Why can't we stand for segregation? Because the segregated race is cheated out of its share of the complex organization it helped to build. Louisville, Richmond, Baltimore, St. Louis and other cities have segregation laws. They are increasing. If you do not organize and take courage and determine this thing shall stop the cloud will come very near to Columbus. All that we ask is that the thing be managed as well as it is in Jamaica, B. W. I. There is not the same friction there. All we ask is absolutely fair treatment, as between men, regardless of color. We want American work done by the best men." Resolutions to congress against the passage of any Jimcrow legislation were adopted, and a branch of the National association was formed. The meeting was attended by 1,500 people, the majority being of our race. Dr. Spingarn's tour of the west was concluded on Wednesday, Jan. 27, with an address at Buffalo. "RACE PREJUDICE AND ITS SOCIAL COST" DISCUSSED. What Mrs. Villard and Mrs. B. R. Wilson Say About the Matter. The public meeting held at the Church of the Messiah in New York the third week in January had two very interesting speakers. One was a member of our race; the other of the Caucasian race. The subject for discussion was "Race Prejudice and Its Social Cost" as it relates to the colored people. Mrs. Butler R. Wilson said that racial peace was not possible without common democracy. Speaking of Lincoln, Mrs. Wilson said that the great emancipator in his day recognized the brotherhood of all races. There are at the present time more churches than ever before, and never was there more prejudice against the colored race. Prejudice against her race has increased all over the United States tremendously within the past ten years, she said. Mrs. Henry Villard, daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, the world famed abolitionist, spoke interestingly of her childhood recollections of the anti-slavery movement and how those who had fought to abolish slavery rejoiced at the success of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. Mrs. Villard made the emphatic statement that in nine cases out of ten, whether innocent or guilty. If the accused is a colored person he is considered guilty. She said there used to be a prejudice against the Irish, but they have made such progress and become so strong that prejudice against them has about died out. The same will be true of the colored people, she asorted. guests, entertained at the Vendome cafe, where light supper was served, after which much gasoline was burned up sight-seeing Denver and joyriding, given by Messrs.

Gathered at the house of Mrs. Effie Waldon, of East 24th Ave., were twenty young beautiful maidens, and at the same time assembling at the residence of Schuyler Hardy were the young boys equal in number. They contemplated a birthday surprise party upon Miss Lillian Richardson, who had just passed her sixteenth year. While all this was going on, and being unmindful of her natal day, Miss Richardson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Berry Richardson, was zealously plugging away at her books, until her busy moments were interfered with by the happy gathering of young people who came to her home on E. 24th Ave., singing "I Got All I Want But 'OO', and it was only then that she realized her sixteenth birthday. Many presents were received and her high esteem was shown by the many remembrances. The chaperons were Mesdames Colston, Mabel Fallings, R. O. Johnson, Gertie N. Ross, Alice Foster, Jesse Thrower, J. S. Starks and "Mamma" Bruce. Mrs. Effie Waldon was the chief engineer, while Mr. and Ms. J. B. Richardson simply acted as bashful firemen in charge of the engine of festivities. The gay young people certainly enjoyed themselfs. HUMAN NATURE IS MUCH THE SAME EVERYWHERE. WE ALL LIKE APPROBATION AND APPLAUSE OCCASIONALLY.

Wife of Chief Pythian Official Handles Important Details With Ability. In most all movements having for their aim the advancement of the race women play an important part. History records the testimony of many great men, some living and others dead, who attribute the source of their success to the kind advice or a distance and encouragement of a mother, wife, sister or some woman friend. Mrs. S. W. Green of New Orleans, La., of Supreme Chancellor Green of the Knights of Pythias, has played and playing an important part in many movements for the good of the race. For a quarter of a century Mrs Green has gone side by side with her husband in the affairs of life and has contributed much to his success. She possesses rare business ability and tactful qualities which make her a valuable assistant in the affairs of Mr. Green. She has both natural and acquired ability as well as practical experience in business. For ten years she served as clerk, bookkeeper, cashier and purchasing agent for Mr. S. W. Green in Lake THE WEEKLY NEWS MRS. S. W. GREEN. Providence, La., while he was engaged in business in that town. She was also a partner in the business, being the wife of the young merchant. She was interested in him and assisted him long before he became grand chancellor of the Pythians of Louisiana. It was Mrs Green's zealous work and good advice which greatly assisted Chancellor Green in his upward climb. Since 1900 Mrs. Green has devoted her time and talent in helping to build up the Pythian order in the state. She is private secretary to the supreme chancellor, because most of the time he is away from the city visiting lodges and looking into details throughout the country, and she is in charge of the office. She is well posted on the condition of the order. Every morning when it is time to open the office she is there and remains until closing time. She gives attention to every detail. She is the banker and makes all remittances from the office, so that when business claiming the attention of the supreme or grand chancellor is to be looked after and he is out of the city Mrs. Green looks after it promptly. The Pythians and members of the Court of Calanthe are proud of her and the service she is rendering to the order. Anniversary of Malta Commandery. The recent fourth anniversary of Malta commandery No. 19. Knights Templars, Pittsburgh, was a most successful affair. The sir knights of Cyrene, No. 9; Palestine, No. 14; commanderies and the Ladies of Palestine, Esther, Cyrene and Progressive chapters. Order of the Eastern Star, were the invited guests of the Malta commandery. The fine appearance of the female members, sir knights and the music furnished by the Royal Arcade orchestra contributed an air of refinement to the occasion that caused much favorable comment. The order in general is in a flourishing condition and started the work of the new year, briskly. 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. Meeting of Southern Race Conferences. The Rev. Richard Carroll, president of the southern race conference, announces that the eighth annual meeting of the organization will be held at Columbia, S. C., for two days, beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 17. The sessions of the conference will be held in the Silney Park C. M. E. church. One of the chief speakers will be the Itev. Dr. J. W. Bailey of Texas. All persons who expect to attend the conference should communicate with I. S. Leevy at 1221 Taylor street, Columbia. Mr. Leevy is chairman of the committee of arrangements and one of the vice presidents of the conference. AFRO-CHRISTIANS SHOW GRATITUDE Dr. Howell Speaks at Big Church Convention. LAUDS RELIGIOUS HEROES. President of Progressive International Body of Churchmen in Able Address Calls Attention to What Good White People North and South Have Done For Our Race. 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. At the recent meeting of the Ameri can Christian convention held in Springfield, O., the Rev. Dr. Howell J. B. H. 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 Saviour; hence we are brethren. We not only take pleasure in the peculiar victories you have achieved, but wish for 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 committed 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 degree of joy that I look on this mighty galaxy of great minds that are here 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 in- gratitude cause us to forget those whose names will be illustrious? First, those of the south—Revs. William B. Wellson R. H. Holland, Mills B. Barrett, deceased Rev. J. W. Wellons, D. D. Rev. J. Presson, but then the Hunt of pel 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 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, McReynolds and Rev. Z. McReynolds, was twice elected and died at his post in 1933, superintending the work of building the greater Franklinton. I cannot fail 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 P. 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 church. They organized our churches, and used our ordered 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 1868 we had about ten churches, six or eight preachers and about 600 members. Today we have in the United States, the West Indies and South America about 25,000 members, about 200 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 leave a liberated people to stand alone. In view of the circumstances, we have done well, emanated, and we have hardly destitute 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.

GUESTS OF EIGHTH DISTRICT Leaders of African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the Denomination Are Expected In Large Numbers. New Orleans.-Headed by Bishop J. M. Conner, D. D., of Little Rock, the eighth Episcopal district of the African Methodist Episcopal church, comprising Mississippi and Louisiana, is preparing to entertain the bench of bishops and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary society in this city, commencing Feb. 11 and going through to the 16th. This promises to be one of the largest attended meetings ever held in the history of the African Methodist church in New Orleans and will be attended by several thousand people from all parts of the country. The committee of arrangements is composed of representatives from each conference in the district, and the women, under the direction of Mrs. J. M. Conner, have appointed committees. A number of social functions have also been arranged. Bishop Conner is one of the most remarkable men of his church and race and is doing a great work in his native state for the development of his people. He is one of the few men elevated to the highest position in his church and assigned to his native state. He was born on a plantation in Winston county, Miss., in 1863. After his conversion he felt that he was called to the ministry and was licensed to preach by Rev. J. W. Washington. His first charge was at the Aberdeen (Miss.) mission in 1883. While he was serving at the Aberdeen mission he demonstrated his ability as a leader by purchasing land and erecting a church building which was a credit to the town as well as to his people. Bishop T. M. D. Ward ordained this young man a deacon in 1884. He served Okolona and Storenville, in Mississippi, and was then sent by Bishop Ward to Forest City, Ark. to build a church. When he had accom P. BISHOP J. M. CONNER. plished this he was sent to another place with the same instruction be cause he had made a reputation as a church builder. He not only directed in building churches, but he added many members to their rolls. In Arkansas he served in some of the most important charges—Little Rock, Hot Springs and Jonesboro. In Little Rock he purchased land and erected a parsonage and at Hot Springs paid off a long standing debt on the church and at these places put up the dollar money by almost doubling the amounts collected in previous years. He was later appointed presiding elder. It was while in this position he further demonstrated his ability as leader of men. In order to better equip himself for his work Bishop Conner took a course in the National university, Chicago, graduating in 1891 with the degree of bachelor of sacred theology. Bishop Conner also took a course of study at the University of Chicago and at Shorter college. Little Rock and was when elected to the episcopacy president of the Alumna as society of Shorter college. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon him by Morris Brown university, Atlanta, and the degree of doctor of laws by Paul Quinn college Waco, Tex. He has made a reputation as an author through "Outlines of Christian Theology," "Doctrines of Christ" and "Elements of Success."

He has the distinction of being an editor, for during his early work in Arkansas he published and edited the Little Rock Reporter, the Arkansas' Statesman and Conner's Magazine. He speaks and reads Greek and Hebrew fluently. Bishop Conner is accomplishing great good in his church. The general conference held in Kansas City, 1912, elected him to the office of bishop and he was assigned to Mississippi and Louisiana where he has made many friends among both races. CLASSICAL RECITAL GIVEN AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Miss Helen Ware, an American violinist of rare technique and power, recently appeared in recital, under the auspices of the Hampton Choral union at the Hampton (Va.) Institute gymnasium, before one of the most appressive audiences ever gathered there. Miss Ware, whose magnetic individuality and simplicity compel admiration, proved beyond a doubt that she is "the most powerful and poetic interpreter of Hungarian and Slavic music," as has so often been said of her. The program was unique, fascinating and educational, including compositions by Dvorak, Kolar, Krammer, Kreisler and Saint-Saens' concerto in B minor. Mr. Robert Braun showed by the delicacy of his accompaniments, that he is an artist of remarkable skill and technique. His piano selections from Cadman, Phillip, Liszt and Sternburs were themselves a delight to the audience. The Hampton Choral union and the Hampton institute chorus of 900 voices, who are always well received, were greeted with more than the usual enthusiasm. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of the Hampton Choral union, and director of music at Hampton institute, deserves great credit for securing such a rare musical treat for the people of Hampton and velitia.

TROTTER WARMLY RECEIVED AT MEETINGS IN CHICAGO Militant Boston Editor and Race Champion Makes Good Impression. Chicago. William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian and foremost in the work of the National Independent Equal Rights league, was warmly received by the citizens of Chicago on his recent visit to this city. Mr. Trotter spoke eight times at different meetings, which were arranged in advance of his coming. The now famous Wilson-Trotter incident, which occurred in Washington on Nov. 12, 1914, when a delegation from the Equal Rights league by appointment visited President Wilson to protest against race segregation, was reviewed by Mr. Trotter at each of the meetings held. Business and professional men and women, ministers and laymen of Chicago manifest their interest in the work of the league and in Mr. Trotter's efforts to lay the matter of race segregation before the public in its true light by attending the meetings and making Mr. Trotter's stay one of satisfaction to himself and profit to the cause of human rights. Great good was accomplished. The first blow to the immigration bill, which had for its purpose the exclusion of persons of the Negro race from entering this country in the future, was struck by the Equal Rights league at Chicago when it sent resolutions and telegrams of protest to all Illinois representatives in congress asking them to do all in their power to defeat the African exclusion clause in the immigration bill. Representative Madden led the fight on the bill by separating the clause relating to African exclusion for consideration Tuesday, Jan. 5, and then with the co-operation of his colleagues led the fight which resulted in the defeat of the bill on Thursday, Jan. 7.

Last Wednesday at the home of her mother, Mrs. Dollie Hamilton, an impressive though simple wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. A. M. Ward which made Mrs. Katie Carper the bride of Mr. Robert Ellisberry. Mrs. Carper has grown up in Denver and is one of the social leaders. Only the intimate friends were privileged to be present. The bride, who is tall and stately, looked very stunning in a gown of embroidered silk net over cream chameuse. The gown was made and designed by the bride's mother. The trimmings were pearl passimentary and hand embroidered roses. Over the train hung a panel of cream pan velvet. The handsome girdle was fastened by large rosette at the left side, front. The bride had no attendants other than her sister, Mrs. Reece. The ribbons, which formed an aisle from the broad stairway to the mantle, in front of which the ceremony was performed, were held by Miss Ruth Carper, daughter of the bride, and Miss Vern Hooper. This/mantle was banked with ferns and palms in a way to form a canopy under which the happy couple stood to receive the congratulations of their friends. Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Mrs. Mable Fallings and the bride was given away by Mr. Geo, S. Contee, a life long friend of the family and past grand master of matrimonial ceremonies. Many costly and beautiful presents were given, showing in what high esteem the friends of Denver, as well as friends of eastern and western states, held the couple. Miss Ruth's dress was of white embroidery with blue satin trimmings, while Mrs. Reece's gown was of deep cream embroidered chiffon. The serving table was presided over by Mesdames Contee and Washington. Upon the beautifully decorated table situated in the blue room, where little Cupids were flying about in the air, sat the large wedding cake, whose ornamentations were such that the eye never beheld before. The costly and valuable presents consisted largely of glassware, cut glass, nappies, etc., silverware, plain and hand painted china, table linen and a combination bookcase and writing desk given by the Denver club boys. The Star wishes them nothing but happiness. The Carnation Art club will give a St. Valentine's entertainment at Fern Hall February 15. Morrison's orchestra. Keep off the date. DR. T. E.
