Southerners Try To Separate Races On Street Cars.
Washington—The preponderance of Southerners inhabiting the nation's capital by reason of the fact that the Democratic party holds the reins is responsible for an obnoxious bill to "Jim Crow" the races on the street cars was offered in the House on Monday. The committee reporting the measure tacked on long recommendations that it be passed. The sponsors for the inter-marriage bill recently passed are behind this one and the people are now wondering whether some "Southern cracker" will next offer a bill to legalize lynching in the District of Columbia.
Get Up, Stand Up and Get Beat.
Kansas City, Kan.—J. R. Stewart, proprietor of the Pantatorium at 2101 North Third street, was brutally assaulted by two white men, the Simpson brothers, on a street car. Stewart was seated, and when the Simpsons could not get any other seat they ordered him to get up and he refused. The Simpsons were arrested and the police court judge, Brady, after being assured by the newspaper reporters that he would not be criticised if he decided justly, fined the men $5 each, but suspended payment during good behavior. Kansas City Negroes think Judge Brady would be a much better judge in the homeless cat and dog department than in the police court.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 13 1915
As Jim Crow Cars Preceded Lynching Carolina, Same Will Result In Our National Capitol.
Every Negro Called To Protest To Congress
I hang my head for shame that a committee of the Anglo-Saxon Race, to which I belong, has reported to the Congress of the United States a bill to provide separate cars for colored American citizens in the District of Columbia at the seat of the National Government. Such a bill if presented at the close of the Civil War, fifty years ago, would have excited less comment.
It is rather late in our country's history to separate any class of our fellow citizens from another class in facilities for travel. Representatives of the Hebrew, Irish, Tuetonic, Slavic and Latin races may ride where they please. If Booker Washington, on whom Harvard conferred a degree of LL.D.; Prof. Pickens, who was an honor man at Yale; Du Bois, the editor of "The Crisis;" former Assistant Attorney-General Lewis; and William Monroe Trotter must be put into separate cars in Washington as being unfit to associate with their fellow citizens, it is time vigorous protest were made.
This is much more objectionable in the capital of the Nation than elsewhere. Visitors from other nations who come to see our Congressional Library and other public buildings will have an object lesson hourly before them in the separation and degradation of our fellow citizens.
One provision of the law which it is sought to pass is a fine of $1000 or imprisonment for six months for anyone who violates its provisions, and this applies to those in charge of street cars, taxicabs or any vehicle where fare is charged. Conductors, porters, etc are authorized as special police for its enforcement.
That this is a part of a previously determined and clearly defined Southern policy is obvious from a letter written the editor of this paper by Thos. H. Caraway, who is one of those who reported the proposed law and who wrote on the stationery of the House of Representatives under date October 1913.
"Personally I shall vote for every measure that tends to segregate the races, with reference to residence, transportation, and occupation, and I believe that measures of that kind will be passed at the coming term of Congress."
From this it appears that he wishes colored people to live only in a certain part of the city, ride only on cars set apart for them, and to deprive them of many occupations where they can earn an honest living.
The writer of this editorial takes this ground, that segregation is always a badge of inferiority and is so intended, and that any segregation based on color alone is always wrong. Let no one think that we would do away with classes in society. Three will always be a wide gulf between the educated and the ignorant, the virtuous and the vile, the coarse and vulgar and the gentle and refined, but all these conditions are not based on a person having one-eighth or one thirty-second of African blood in his veins but are based upon conditions which the individual can change if he will. The writer believes the time has come when the colored race should repudiate the leadership of those who advise further forbearance and subserviency and tame submission to everything proposed. If at the recent visit of the editor of this paper to the White House he had gone in at the back door with a basket asking for cold victuals, all would have been well, but when he went in at the front door of the White House and looked the President straight in the eye and asked for justice, he was met with the remark that he spoke with a "background of passion" and that the tone of his voice" was not acceptable. No doubt he spoke with some warmth. He would be less than human if he had not, when he felt that he was spokesman of 10,000,000 American citizens asking not for favors but for rights. The race should repudiate the leadership which seems to be more concerned with the superior advantage of leghorn pullets for farmers and the fact that there is not yet a hog apiece raised in each colored family in the South, than it is with the fact of the loss of the ballot, lynchings, African exclusion, intermarriage and finally separation in cars, based on color alone. Let us pray for a leader who shall get out of the arena of the barnyard and get into the arena of freedom and the rights of man.
Let us not lose the freedom for which Garrison, Phillips, Sumner, Andrew, John Brown and a host of others laid down their lives. Let us remember, as one has said, that only the Golden Rule of Christ can ever bring in the golden age of man, and let all Northern Senators, Representatives, ministers and editors agitate and protest until the lowliest citizen has his rights under the flag, lest the wrath of Heaven descend on us as a nation.—Guardian.

NINTH CAVALRY'S MUSICIAN HONORED
Wade H, Hammond's Musical Work Appreciated.
Although somewhat belated, mention should be made in these columns of the large measure of appreciation and recognition which came to Mr. Wade H. Hammond, chief musician, Ninth Cavalry Band, Douglas, Ariz., some months ago, for the excellent work he has accomplished with his organization.
It was during the course of an evening's concert given on September 17th that Mayor C, O. Ellis mounted the stairs of the bandstand and publicly presented Director Wade Hammond with a gold medal set with diamonds. The medal was a token of appreciation extended by the citizens to the band.
Mr. Ellis made a brief speech in which he publicly acknowledged the debt of gratitude for past favors owing to the band from the citizenship. He then presented the medal to the leader, asking him to accept it for the band.
Director Hammond replied briefly to the mayor, expressing his gratitude and the hope that he and his men may be able to further serve the citizens.
The medal was purchased with a fund raised by popular subscription, and is an exceedingly handsome token of the high regard of the citizenship for the most excellent musical organization which has been stationed in Douglas with the Ninth for the last two years.
The honors which came to Chief Musician Hammond were well deserved, as he is widely known as one of the most conscientious and most capable musicians in the service.
Shortly after the concert Mr. Hammond addressed the following letter of thanks to the mayor and citizens of Douglas, same having appeared in the daily papers at the time and reproduced herewith for readers of "The Metronome":
To the Honorable Mayor and Citizens of Douglas:
I am applying to the columns of "The Dispatch" for space in an endeavor to have you know my appreciation and gratitude for your confidence, esteem and kindness, made manifest by your beautiful gift of Thursday evening, the 17th inst.
While it is probable that no member of my race has ever enjoyed such a rare distinction, in my line of endeavor, I am loathe to accept this kindness as a personal exaltation, being mindful of the loyalty and faithfulness of
each member of the Ninth Cavalry Band, whom I am pleased to recognize as my fellow and co-laborer, and to whom is due no small share of the great measure of kindness you have shown.
So much of the honor as may be called mine personally, I am happy to regard as an act wherein you have enjoined upon me additional responsibilities, not alone as an efficient musician, but as an honorable soldier and worthy citizen, not engaged in the pursuit of personal glory but whose duty and privilege it is to labor with you and all worthy Americans for the development and maintenance of the civil, moral and social institutions of our great American commonwealth in the hope that together with my people I shall be worthy of your future good will and confidence. Respectfully, Wade H. Hammond, Chief Musician, Ninth Cavalry Band.
Discrimination at California Exposition.
The office of the Secretary of the National Negro Business League is in receipt of a communication from Mr. J. J. Nashburn, Secretary of the Local Negro Business League at Oakland, California, stating that the Commissioners of the International Exposition to be held in San Francisco during the present year have notified the Local Negro Business Leagues of Oakland and San Francisco that their will hot be equal accommodations in San Francisco during the Fair, for colored people.
The Local Leagues of those cities have been requested to appoint committees to locate places in San Francisco and and Oakland for colored visitors and to notify intending colored visitors of this condition. The Hotel and Restaurant Association of San Francisco is responsible for this action the Commissioners state. The Local Negro Business League of Oakland has made a vigorous protest against these conditions and proposes to give full publicity to this matter before any large number of our people start for California.
Zion City Girl Imprisoned.
Waukegan, Ill.—The color line has broken out in Zion City. This fact came to light last week when Roderick M. Toombs sought the aid of the court in order to wed May Mitchell, a white church worker in Alexander Dowie's famous town. Mr. Toombs said that Miss Mitchell has been imprisoned by her mother, who objects to the marriage. He sought a writ of habeas corpus to compel the mother to release her daughter.
Charleston, S. C.-Mr. E. G. Charleston, a well to do- undertaker, has erected a $10,000 office building in this city.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY GETS
RARE COLLECTION OF BOOKS
Messrs. Cromwell and Moorland Do-
nate Volumes of Great Value,
Wasbington.—Howard university’s in-
terest in our race 1s not confined mere-
ly to the classrooms within Its stately
buildings, but is reaching out into the
world at large for educational matter
with which to give its student body
the best available information con-
cerning the literary achievements of
the race. ‘The university bas recently
begun the collection of literature, rec-
ords and documents relating to the
Negro race in America. The institu:
tion has In {ts possession now what is
considered an important collection of
rare books and pamphlets with which
to form what fs to be known in the fu.
ture ay “The Negro Americana.”
Quite 2 number of years ago the
school came into possession of the fa
mous library of Lewis Tappen. the
noted anti-slavery advocate. Dr. John:
W. Cromwell, secretary of the Amer
fean Negro academy and author of the
new book entitled “the Negro In
American History.” pinced at the dis:
posal of Howard the Cathcart clip
pings many’ years ago. ‘These ctip:
pings cover the civil war and recon-
struction period. ‘They consist of
scores of volumes touching the vari.
ous phases of that period andjthe Ne-
gro’s relation to the changes incident to
his well being during that time.
‘Phe Moorland collection ts the lar-
est and most significant contribution
to the new undertaking. Dr. J. E.
Moorland. international secretary of
the Young Men's Christian association,
has been a collector of rure and curl
ous books in this fleld during the past
quarter of 2 century nnd bas gathered
up a collection of several thousand
titles. Dr. Moorland only recently
turned this collection over to Howard
university, of which be is an alumnus
und trustee.
During the past forty years the insti-
tution has accumulated books, pam-
phlets. documents and other data in
this field. all of which will now be as-
xeinbled and tustalied along with these
several collections under the head of
“Negro Americana.”
‘The university expects at the open-
Ing of the next schoo! term to establish
a chalr of sociology, which shall be de-
voted to research in the fleld of Negro
development as well as to practieal
Mines of remedial endeavor. ‘This it
brary Is expected to be of broad. na-
tional xervice. Such a collection at
the capital of the nation will be easily
availible to students and xcholars and

Doing the Square Thing—Are You One?
The Ministerial Alliance of Denver, together with the Denver People's Alliance, after a thorough investigation of the case of J. W. Jones, have decided that his is a worthy cause for the charity and assistance of all colored men and women. It appears that in self defense he killed another man. He was tried and sentenced to hang Dec. 15, 1914. Ex-Gov. Ammons reprieved him until May, 1915. We must raise $200 to get his case to the Supreme court before that time. Jones is without friends, has no money and faces death. We believe the Supreme court will rule in his favor. We must raise $200. We appeal to you. Act at once. Send your donations to Titus S. Rector, 2716 Welton street, Denver, Colo.

Dear Sir: Upon reading of Mr. Jones' unfortunate position through the medium of the Denver Star, I have interested what few colored boys that are members of the state road gang.
I myself am a victim of unfortunate circumstances; incidentally I am serving a sentence of 15 years for an in Pueblo on business for the associac- accidental murder, and from what I can learn from those whose names appear below, their cases in a degree are similar to mine, and we as a matter of experience can easily imagine Mr. Jones' predicament at this juncture. Please find enclosed a postal money order for three dollars and seventy-five cents ($3.75) and we request the same to be used in his defense.
In conclusion we can only hope and pray that Mr. Jones may be properly vindicated when his case reaches

KNOCKING THE STAR BECAUSE STAR ADHERES STRICTLY TO BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.
An Underhand Attack.
The Star has been reliably informed that there are certain persons going around "knocking the Star" because of a certain definite rule adopted by the Star for business protection. They may call upon you. If you can say a good word for the Star, do so. We stand by the people, the ordinary, common, every-day people, and it is upon you we rely for our defense, if we merit. Note the source whence comes the attack. Try and trace it to the fountain head.
MOOCHERS HANGING AROUND STATE CAPITOL.
Our attention has been repeatedly called to the moochings of some curbstone, jobless politicians at the State Capitol. There are certain worthless, jobless, conscienceeless Negroes who daily ply the trade at the State Capitol constantly begging the successful candidates for a "loan" or a hand-out to help reimburse them for money they spent in the last election. The Star severely condemns such unprincipled methods of extortion and living by the wits, and therefore warns the public against these idle, unreliable, afraid-of-work political beggars. The Star hopes that no politicians, successful or unsuccessful, will pay these political parasites any attention and thus force them to go to work. They are a disgrace to the honest, hard-working, tax-paying citizen and a blot upon our race. They stand in the way for help in some worthy and deserving cause. The Star again condemns the practice and brands these fakirs as unworthy of belief by anyone. A beggar is a beggar and a political beggar is the worst kind of a beggar.
ALTHO FRIENDLESS AND HELP-
LESS, SHALL JONES HANG?
You Can Save Him With Your Mite.
The Ministerial Alliance, assisted by the People's Sunday Alliance, are appealing to the men and women in Denver and out in the state and outside of this state to save the life of their fellow man, who is condemned to die May 13. Money is needed to take his case to Supreme court. He did not have a fair trial and he is helpless, penniless and friendless, yet he is some mother's son and some sister's brother. Will you send your contribution to T. S. Rector, 2712 Welton St., Denver, Colo., treasurer.
IF YOU THINK THE STAR IS WORTH TWO DOLLARS PER YEAR, JUST SEND US THE PRICE. DO IT NOW. IF YOU DON'T, SEND IT ANYWAY, JUST TO KEEP THE GOOD THING GOING. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO THINK IT IS WORTH WHILE.
HUMAN NATURE IS MUCH THE SAME EVERYWHERE. WE ALL LIKE APPROBATION AND AP-PLAUSE OCCASIONALLY. WE OF THE STAR APPRECIATE THE KIND WORDS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID ABOUT IT. THAT'S WHY WE LIKE TO KEEP IT UP. YOU KEEP ON TELLING IT TO OTHERS.
IT REALLY DOES RELIEVE RHEUMATISM.
Everybody who is afflicted with rheumatism in any form should by all means keep a bottle of Sloan's Liniment on hand. The minute you feel pain or soreness in a joint or muscle, bathe it with Sloan's Liniment. Do not rub it. Sloan's penetrates almost immediately right to the seat of pain, relieving the hot, tender, swollen feeling and making the part easy and comfortable. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumbago, sclatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. Buy a bottle today.
RISE IN CAPITAL OF OLD DOMINION
Success of Our Institutions In Richmond, Va.
TRUE REFORMERS LED WAY.
How John Mitchell and Mrs. Maggie L. Walker Are Looming Up as Captains of Finance—Generous Spirit For Friendly Co-operation Shown by the Hon. Giles B. Jackson.
Richmond, Va.—In a hard times year, with war in Europe, cotton stagnating in the south, trade conditions disjointed, a new currency system being installed and pessimistic customers drawing in their horns in what President Wilson has described as a "psychological panic," Richmond's banking houses managed to earn and pay the largest dividends in the city's history, as shown by their records in January. The increase over 1913 amounts to $5,400, according to the Industrial Advocate.
This calculation includes the banks operated by the colored people as well as the whites, as the colored folks pay dividends in the same order and are supervised over by the state banking commissioner the same as the white banks. The banks run by our people are inserted in the list, but to one not familiar with the different institutions it would be difficult to know where these banks are located or whether they are operated by colored or white people. The fact that our banks were included without discrimination speaks well for the colored people of Richmond, who founded their own banks.
It is true that the pioneer colored bank of this city went out of business in 1910, but it is sufficient to say that this bank laid the foundation for those which are now succeeding it. We refer to the Mechanics' Savings bank, over which John Mitchell, Jr., presides, and the St. Luke's Savings bank, of which Mrs. Maggie L. Walker is president. She is a woman in a class by herself and is the only colored woman who is president of a bank in this country, or in the world, so far as we know. If we had just ten men her equal, the race would advance 100 per cent in the financial and industrial field.
Mrs. Walker is at the head of one of the greatest organizations of our race, or any race. We refer to the Order of St. Lukes, which has paid out $100,000 to widows and orphans, every dollar of which was collected and dispersed under her supervision. Every fraternity and insurance institution through which she has had business dealings states that her records are among the best of any fraternal institution operated along similar lines. Her business method has a premium on it and is worthy of the recognition of any large institution.
The True Reformers' bank was the first to stimulate in the Negro the confidence that he could really run a bank, and as a result we now have the St. Luke's Penny Savings bank and the Mechanics' Savings bank, which are two of the greatest institutions in the south-in fact, in the whole country—that are operated by colored people, and it may be added that they compare favorably with some of the white institutions. John Mitchell, Jr., president of the Mechanics' Savings bank, is a member of the National Banking association, and is the only colored member of that institution. This speaks well for the Negro, and shows that with half a chance he will make good.
The above facts refer to the colored people in Richmond alone and are only an inkling of the great number of business enterprises successfully run by our people in this city. In other sections of the country the race is doing equally as well along many lines of industry and professional skill. It is the aim of the big exposition which is to be held here for a month beginning on July 4 to show in toto the achievements of the race in this city and throughout the state. It will also show our progress throughout the nation in most every line of business, invention, religion and literary achievement. The exposition will be held under the auspices of the Negro Historical and Industrial association, of which the Hon. Giles B. Jackson is president.
One of the substantial features about the forthcoming celebration is the fact that our people here and throughout the country generally are showing a timely interest in the plans for the exposition by co-operating with the directors in every detail of the work. Churches, secret and benevolent societies, business and educational institutions will all be represented by exhibits of various kinds. The celebration is to commemorate the fiftht anniversary of the emancipation of the colored race in America and to show what progress it has made during a half century of freedom.
Collection of Central African Curios.
The museum of the University of Pennsylvania has added a large collection of curios from central Africa. It includes war weapons, ornaments for men and women, baskets and cloth. According to the Philadelphia Tribune, the new collection is unique and shows "that these primitives were skilful workers and had a fine sense of beauty."
BROOKLYN HEARS TROTTER.
Boston Editor En Route Home From the West Addresses Large Audience.
New York.—W. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, has concluded his speaking tour through the west, where he was heralded and given a hearty ovation all along the line.
His tour included Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Springfield, Ill., St. Louis, Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City, Kan., and Brooklyn.
In Brooklyn Mr. Trotter addressed a large and enthusiastic audience in the Bridge Street A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon, Jan. 24, Rev. Dr. C. P. Cole pastor. Here again he was given a royal welcome. With his customary courage he told of the incident of his White House visit, where he was spokesman of the anti-segregation delegation of the National Independent Equal Rights league, which so greatly impressed the vast audience that applause after applause greeted the speaker.
Owing to the numerous engagements and incidental delays Mr. Trotter was unable to appear at the Citizens' club in Brooklyn Saturday evening, Jan. 23, and no one regrets it more than Mr. Trotter himself, for it was the height of his ambition to have addressed that august body of men. He thanks them, however, for the good nature with which they accepted his unavoidable nonappearance.
The meeting in Brooklyn was also under the auspices of the Citizens' club, George E. Wibecan presiding. Mr. Trotter was introduced by Dr. O. M. Waller, M. D. Tributes were paid by Rev. George Frazier Miller, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and others.
During his tour of the west branches of the National Independent Equal Rights league were organized at Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Springfield, Ill., and Kansas City, Kan.
Mr. Trotter has returned to Boston and will begin anew his regular duties as editor of the Boston Guardian. Mrs. W. Monroe Trotter has guided the paper during Mr. Trotter's absence. In the very near future Mr. Trotter will tour the eastern part of the country. While in this city Mr. Trotter was the house guest of Dr. O. M. Waller.
SHARON BAPTIST CHURCH ROUNDS THIRTIETH YEAR.
Prosperous Baltimore Congregation Holds Week of Special Exercises.
The thirtieth anniversary of the founding of Sharon Baptist church in Baltimore is the occasion for a week's special services, which began Sunday, Feb. 7. The founder and pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander, preached a special anniversary sermon the opening day. In the afternoon of the same day Dr. Ernest Lyon, former minister to Liberia, preached. An elaborate program was rendered on Monday evening, Feb. 8, at which time a number of ministers and representative citizens praised the work done by Dr. Alexander. At the close of the exercises he was presented a substantial purse.
Sharon church is the outgrowth of a Sunday school started by the late W. C. Lawson on a vacant lot in northwest Baltimore many years ago. The Rev. Dr. William Alexander started the congregation with nine members in 1885. The membership grew so rapidly that the congregation moved to larger quarters on Laurens and Calhoun streets. Some years ago the house of worship at Carey and Presstman streets was secured. There the work continued to grow rapidly, and the congregation later purchased its present fine home on Striker and Presstman streets. As a community worker Dr. Alexander stands in the forefront, there being no racial movement in Maryland within the past three decades with which he has not been identified.
He was president of the Maryland Suffrage league during three successful fights against disfranchisement. His work in the community is represented by the fact that the Sharon church has 1,500 members. He has been corresponding secretary of the Lott Carey Baptist convention since its inception and has raised over $40,000 for missionary and educational work in Africa. Only recently he performed the notable feat of getting $1,000 to the missionaries in Africa and that despite the fact that the European war had made its transit most difficult.
Dr. Alexander is a native of Virginia and is an alumnus of the old Wayland seminary, now merged into the Virginia Union university at Richmond, Va. Shaw university honored him some years ago with the degree of doctor of divinity. He is the editor of the Maryland Voice.
The officers of the church are: Deacons, F. A. Gaines, Oriana Thomas, Robert Brown, Joseph Minor, John Halliburton, George Gallery, Isaac Braxton, T. G. Mayden, Morris C. Burke and J. E. Bottes; trustees, David Penn, C. H. Jones, P. W. Booker, W. T. Robinson, Vincent E. Toney and Samuel Lewis.
Solemen Harper Invents Train Signal. According to the National Negro Business league notes, Solomon Harper has invented an automatic signal and safety device for railroad trains. Representative men of the race in New York city have organized a company, known as the National Grand Control Signal company, which will take charge and promote the sale of the invention. John E. Nail is president of the concern.

APPLY SLOAN'S FREELY FOR LUMBACO.
Your attacks of Lumbago are not nearly so hopeless as they seem. You can relieve them almost instantly by simple application of Sloan's Liniment on the back and loins. Lumbago is a form of rheumatism, and yields perfectly to Sloan's, which penetrates der muscles, limbs up the back and makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any drugstore and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if quickly all in through the sore, ten-not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief.
