Denver Star

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 76 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 6. 1915 FIVE CENTS A COPY BAND OF NINTH CAVALRY HAS HIGH RANK. Organization Makes Wonderful Progress Under Present Director. Has Been Most Generous in Providing Good Music for Douglas People. Any reference to the Ninth cavalry which does not include mention of its famous military band would be without regard to one of the regiment's noted attractions, of which the officers and enlisted men are justly proud. Wade H. Hammond, director. The band, through Colonel Guilfoyle, has always shown the greatest willingness to provide music for concerts and all public occasions in Douglas, and the people of the city feel grateful therefor. Want Whites to Get Rid of Colored Help. Macon, Ga.—The Organized Charities of this city in dealing with the unemployed are urging the whites employing colored to discharge them and hire whites. The colored people have a champion in the person of Mayor Bridges Smith, who has been head of the city of Macon for several terms. He is bitterly opposed to this remedy and is doing all in his power to counteract the advice given the white associations. St. Louis, Mo.-If Afro-American passengers can not ride in the new Jitney Busses they must be taken off the streets. The right of the Afro-American to ride in the automobiles that carry passengers for 5 cents in competition with the street cars was upheld by a decision in the police court Saturday, Feb. 20. The inauguration of this mode of travel developed into the refusal of the operating company to carry race passengers. Some of them resented the treatment, sued the company, and t he decision quoted above followed. Butte, Mont.—A bill was introduced in the legislature to prohibit Afro-American males from working with white women in any department or branch of department of industry or business in the state. For a violation of this act a penalty of $50 was provided in the bill. The legislature refused to take a backward step and be branded as the blackest and most nefarious state in the wrst. It refused to be made fun of by the press of the east and north and made the laughing stock of the world. The United Brothers of Friendship, a colored fraternal insurance company of Texas, reports an income of $32,916 for the last three month. It has an invested fund of $34,000 and claims 13,500 members. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes reports an income of of $17,615 for 1914. Any reference to the Ninth cavalry which does not include mention of its famous military band would be without regard to one of the regiment's noted attractions, of which the officers and enlisted men are justly proud. The present organization, which is distinctly in the class of the big concert bands, as an exponent of the possibilities of army bands, under efficient and conscientious direction, and friends of the band believe that it marks the best achievement of the entire service in a musical way. Competent critics pronounce the organization a marvel in tone, tune, balance, precision and technique, these accomplishments contributing in a large measure to the intelligent rendition of the fine classical programs for which this organization is noted. Has String Section. In addition to the wind band the regiment also supports an excellent string section, composed of 18 men, drawn from the military band. This is a popular phase of the work, contributing to the pleasure of dances, dinner parties and receptions for both officers and enlisted men-not to mention the service rendered to townspeople. While these organizations are officially under the command of the regimental and band commanders, their musical training is administered by Wade H. Hammond, who within five years has succeeded in completely reorganizing the work in such a satisfactory manner that the services of the organization are in constant demand throughout the country. Prof. Hammond's rare native ability, supplemented by the best American and European training, eminently fits him for his regimental duties, while his thoroughness and skill as a conductor of the masterworks entitle him to a place as a bandmaster of the first rank. Following is the band's present roster: Fred D. Griffin, cornet; W. Robinson, alto; Edward Pierson, alto; Wm. Foster, alto; John Brown, alto; Irvin Barnhill, trombone; Pearl Bauncler, trombone; Norman Lazeby, bass; J. B. Foster, traps; Edward D. Russ, drum; Roy E. Burgin, cornet; L. Galea, clarinet; G. Cevera, clarinet; Leon Herefotd, clarinet; Isadore Patterson, bassoon; Dillon Polson, basson; Robert E. Tresville, trombone; E. Jaramilla, clarinet; Chas. E. Hammock, euphronium, Morris H. Brown, bass; Harris Henderson, saxaphone; Joel P. Elager, clarinet; Geo. A. Williams, cornet; Wm Pittman, cornet; Great Humanitarian Appreciates the Generous Assistance Given in Behalf of the Miss Spencer Benefit. We reproduce a letter written to the public, which follows, by Mme. C. J. Walker, the noted philanthropist, and hair preparation manufacturer of Indianapolis, Ind., in regard to the benefit given by her for a Miss Spencer, a struggling young harpist. The letter is as follows: of our young people, MME. C. J. WALKER. Total receipts realized from the entertainment, $182.50. My Dear Madam: Pen cannot tell you how happy I am tonight, when I think of you giving me a check for three hundred dol- In accordance with Miss Spencer's request, I wish again on her behalf to thank the public for the kindly interest shown in her, and to hope with her that she will more than prove worthy of our efforts in her interest. When the enormous expense of a good harp is considered it will readily been seen that even three hundred dollars will not go far toward the purchase. I shall watch Miss Spencer's progress. As far as I am able from time to time, I desire to do what I can to THE NEW YORKER THE CHINESE WOMAN MME. C. J. WALKER. encourage our young people, and it is my intention at some time to give another benefit entertainment for Miss Spencer in order to leave the debt on a harp within the reach of a struggling girl. This will provide opportunity for those who were not able to attend the recent benefit to give some assistance yet. Only a few colored girls have even aspired to be harpist and let it be the hope of all that this young women will more than come up to our expectations. Again thanking you each and every one for your assistance in whatever way rendered. I remain. Yours for the highest good To the Public: MME.C. J. WALKER. Total receipts realized from the entertainment, $182.50. My Dear Madam: Pen cannot tell you how happy I am tonight, when I think of you giving me a check for three hundred dollars, to pay my first payment on my harp. I ask my Heavenly Father to guide me and make me worthy of such kindness. I want to thank you, Madame, for your interest and for your aid, for had you not have helped me, I would have had to give up my music and could not have a harp of my own. Please thank the public who came out to help me and to show me they wanted me to succeed. I cannot find words to express to the people how I felt when I faced the audience for the first time, and realized they THE NEW YORK TIMES were my friends and want me to succeed: I will never forget them. You have done more for me than any one, even my own mother, and I am a stranger to you, and then to offer me a home and help me to finish my education—only my actions in the future can show you and prove to you my appreciation. I will willingly come to you, and do any task, for I am proud to say I can work and happy to know that I can work for you and show you I appreciate a true friend. May God bless you and your blessings be great; may you always be successful and happy is the wish of your humble, little friend. FRANCES SPENCER. "Masonry is purity of sentiment, virtue in our relations, sincerity in discourse, and benevolence in our work. With poverty, it is relief, with weakness, it is strength; and with misfortune, it is comfort and sympathy. In our life duties, it is the interchange of general thought, the outflowing of noble impulses, and the highest exercise of brotherly affection. Masons are indeed 'brothers.' The bonds of fraternity are made stronger as each shall aid his brother in time of need, animate his progress or incite him to greater usefulness in every good word or work." The vital principles of Maonry are now just what they have ever been and must remain as long as the institution continues to exist. They are not susceptible to change. It is a matter of but small moment to us when, where or with whom the institution had its origin. That Masonry is a power in the land for good, that it exists and exerts a healthful influence over men and morals wherever it is found, is testified to by those who have been initiated into the mysteries, profess its tenets and are governed by its principles. Its great mission is to teach and practice the principle of brotherly love and fellowship, and to exemplify in our lives the God-given precept of humanity to man. It extends the hand of brotherly kindness to the weak and suffering and softens the pillow of the sick and dying. Its mission is to sustain the widows and orphans—in short, to follow the teachings of the Divine Master, and give meat to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, and bind up the wounds of the afflicited. Let not the spark of Divinity that is within you be extinguished by selfishness. Masonry has a double mission. It makes better individuals and alleviates the sorrow of others. It teaches that universal love which ennobles both recipient and donor. It whispers the word of friendly admonition into the ear of the erring, and in silence and secrecy drops its charity in the hand of poverty. It binds its votaries in an ever increasing bond of sacred union. Masonry is a failure if in our daily experience we do not succeed in securing definite realization of its true meaning and spirit. Life is short; with each of us the sands of time will soon run out; our record here is daily and hourly being made, and can not be recalled. May the Most High enable us to live and act consistently with our profession. It does not claim to be a religion, in the modern sense, yet its moral precepts are of a religious character, drawn from the Bible and holding up to the world the necessity of of belief in the Eternal Truths. The Sojourner. FIVE CENTS A COPY. Bert Williams, World's Famous Funny Comedian at the Tabor. Mr. Ziegfeld Makes Good. The most remarkable case of personality that I know of is Bert Williams. The instant he appears, everybody pays keen attention. Even the chorus girls in the wings stop their clatter and watch him. I think he is the best comedian we have on the stage today. Just to digress a moment: Williams is black but he is the whitest man I've ever had any dealings with. I gave him his first opportunity for playing outside of a colored show and have had him with me now for some years. The following incident will show you the kind of a man Bert Williams is. My contract with him was up in June. Belasco sent for him in May and said, "Williams I've a great play I want you to star in. Will you come with me?" "I haven't decided what to do next year," said Williams, "but my contract with Mr. Ziegfeld ends in June. If he wants me I shall remain with him. You'll have to talk to him." Imagine!-a fellow who had been playing all the cheap theaters in the United States with a colored company, turning down an offer from Belasco. Williams' color doesn't seem to count against him with the public. He gets more applause when he come on the stage than anybody I ever had. Of course they won't stand for him south of Baltimore and it is in his contract that I will never take him in that section."-National Sunday Magazine. At the Tabor Grand theater this week Bert Williams, the famous funny comedian of color, successfully entertained the crowded house all the week. He takes a funny part with Leon Errol in the "golf and sky scraper" scenes bringing down the house and keeping in constant uproar of laughter. While in Denver Bert Williams visited a few of his old friends whom he knew when he spent his boyhood days here. Prosperous Negroes Driven From Farms in Missouri. This time the night riders are terrorizing the Negroes down in New Madrid county, not because of any lawlessness upon part of our people, but because they are thought to be too prosperous and too law-abiding. The average poor white man just can't stand to see a Negro make any real headway. He likes the truckling, jimcrow black man, but he cannot bear the ambitious, thrifty, self-r especting Negro. Church News --- NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. On the 21st of this month the pastor will have completed six years of labor with Zion church.

Jones, the great evangelist of Jackson, Miss., will preach the anniversary sermon at the 11 o'clock hour. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock a program of addresses will be rendered which will be participated in by Dr. F. B. Palmer, Superintendent of Missions, and our brother pastors of the city. In the evening Dr. Jones will be heard again. There will be appropriate music and other features which will make the program complete.

The angel of death came and took little Varaneda from our midst last Friday morning about 7 o'clock. We feel that a link is broken in our Sunday School circle that will never be replaced. We commend her father and relatives to God who doeth all things well. Thomas Dickenson and his wife are on the sick list. We hope for their speedy recovery.

Our pastor's sermon topics for tomorrow will be as follows: 11:00 a. m., "The Divine Call." 7:30 p. m., "Living On the Top Floor." Shorter has just launched a RED and BLUE rally for Easter. One-half of our membership forms the REDS, with Mrs. Lizzie Williams as captain; the other half composes the BLUES, with Mrs. Mattie P. King as captain. Every member should at once find out WHAT HE IS and begin immediately to assist in making his side the victor and thus share the honors to be awarded at the close of the rally. Look out for the red and blue rally pins; secure one for yourself and wear it. The Knight-Campbell Music Company has just installed a high pressure electric motor, with which our pipe organ will be operated hereafter. This innovation is not only an economical proposition, but the musical effect of the organ will be greatly improved as well. Our trustees are to be commended for this advanced step. The Negro Year Book for 1915 is out with Mr. J. H. Doniphon as sole agent for Denver. It is a pamphlet of 443, pages and is brimful of facts about the race which for our people to know is for them to be inspired and helped. Another has said: "We hate the man we do not know; to know one thoroughly is to admire him." Can it be that a number of our people are disloyal to the race and are trying to get away from it, because they know so little about it? I would recommend the Negro Year Book for 1915 as an antidote for race disloyalty among us. Secure a copy, read it thoroughly before your children and note the result. A cheering word comes from Pensacola, Fla., of the improved condition of the health of both Mrs. Pope and her mother. Before returning to Denver, Mrs. Pope will visit Athens, Ga., the home of our pastor. The Sewing Circle, Stewardess Board and A. C. E. League hold interesting meetings this week at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Colston, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Campbell and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. G. Ross, respectively. Members of our congregation desiring a systematic and exhilarating study of the Bible will find this an opportune time to join our Teacher Training Class. "The New Testament Church," the new study, has arrived and will be taken up within a forty-night. The class meets Tuesday evenings at 7 o'clock. Our pastor is greatly obligated to Mrs. E. A. Holley, Messrs. Chas. A. and Percy Anderson for remembering the parsonage so generously this week. The Mite Missionary Society, under the leadership of Sisters L. M. Froman, M. P. King and Mary Wade, will give a birthday party with MIRANDY Thursday evening, March 18th, in the lecture room of the church. It is going to be different from that other one you saw and it will make you laugh more. The admission is 10 cents. Let everybody lend a hand. CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E.

How the Rev. John Richard Logan and His Parishioners Are Meeting the Needs of the People In the Community—Man of High Ideals and Broad Vision. B GEORGE F. KING. Philadelphia. A study of the great spiritual and social activities now prevalent in this city exhibiting the Christ spirit reveals a character whose life and works are effectively reaching a large number of Afro-Americans in Philadelphia. Here is another striking evidence of how, the church is strengthening the weak and lending strength to those who are striving to make living conditions in this city better. The Rev. John Richard Logan and his church are largely contributing to the influences of the revival spirit started here by the noted Billy Sunday. That there are strong ministers in the race who have not degenerated into selfishness and who are really THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY REV. JOHN R. LOGAN-ST. SIMON THE CYRHENIAN P. E. CHURCH. reaching the masses of our people to the extent that godly men of other races are inspired by them is concretely exemplified by the appointment of the Rev. John Richard Logan as minister in charge of St. Simon the Cyrenian P. E. church, this city, by Right Rev. N. S. Thomas, now bishop of Wyoming, who, in appointing the Rev. Mr. Logan in May, 1909, said, "Your name has been recommended to me by so many people in different parts of the country that we feel as though God were leading us to you." As an indication of the wholesome growth of the church and his ability to meet all classes of our people and direct their activities into channels of higher usefulness, there is now in preparation a class of over eighty persons for confirmation in March. The new church edifice recently dedicated is very beautiful because of the simplicity of its English Gothic architecture. That the Negroes in the Episcopal church, and especially the parishioners of the Rev. Mr. Logan, are becoming more interested in the cause of missions is exhibited by this church raising the largest contribution for missions. In this section our young people must be reached and kept under whosoome influences. The institutional features, such as basketball teams among the boys and girls, literary in the well appointed parish hall and the guilds of the church, are developing a strong social life in this community. Consequently hundreds of our young people are being saved. The Sunday school numbers over 400. The Rev. Mr. Logan was born in Danville, Va., and received his primary education in public schools of Danville and Ronnoke, Va., and St. Michael school, Charlotte, N.C., afterward entering Biddle university, graduating with honors from the classical course of the college department. After serving as lay reader and teacher at St. Matthias' church, Asheville, N.C., he became a candidate for holy orders under Bishop Horner and was sent to Morganton, N.C., to serve the congregation of St. Stephen's; then he entered Bishop Payne Divinity school, Petersburg, Va., and later graduated with first honors in a class of five. During his senior year at the Divinity school he was temporary minister in charge of historic St. Stephen's church, Petersburg. After his ordination to the priesthood he was given St. Cyrean's mission, Lincolnton, N.C., in connection with his work at St. Stephen's. Morganton. Previous to his marriage to Miss Mary L. Harbison, an accomplished young lady of Morganton, he accepted a call to St. Phillip's, Charlestown, W. Va., from which place he came to Philadelphia. All of the bishops under whom he served pay a fitting tribute to him, and those whose work he left reluctantly gave him up. Bigger, Better To meet the demands of our patrons, we are pleased to announce that this office has recently installed one of the largest and best job presses in the city. So, with a large and small press, we are now in a position to do work of all kinds. Thirty new faces of the latest and most up-to-date type have been added. This type has been selected after careful study. The addition now makes the office fully equipped to handle work from a calling card to a large placard, including bookwork, booklets, dodgers, wedding invitations, announcements, and in fact work of every description. We do not claim to do the cheapest work in the city. The cheapest is usually the poorest. Our prices are gauged from the actual cost of production with an addition of a small profit.

WASHINGTON CHIEF SPEAKER Influence of Institution Founded by General S. C. Armstrong Is Nation Wide—Educational Rally Conducted by the Hampton Association Patronized by Many Notables. New York.—Perhaps no meeting held in this city within recent years in the interest of the Hampton (Va.) Normal and Agricultural institute surpassed in any particular the one held at Carnegie hall on Monday evening, Feb. 8, under the auspices of the Hampton association, which maintains headquarters at 1 Madison avenue. Dr. William Jay Schieffelin presided, and Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered the principal speech of the evening. The audience was large and enthusiastic, and the program was one of many brilliant features. That the good work and influence of the school founded many years ago by the lamented General Samuel Chapman Armstrong for the training of young colored men and women and Indians for leadership among their people hold the good will of the public both north and south is attested by the manner in which the public responded to its needs at this meeting. The Hampton quartet delighted the audience with various selections of plantation melodies, and Harry T. Burleigh gave a variety of vocal songs of his own composition. The part of the program devoted to moving pictures included scenes from the hopelessness of the old life through Hampton's in tutorial training to the joy of service Bigger, IN ORDER To meet the demand are pleased to announce recently installed one best job presses in the large and small press position to do work o NEW TYPE Thirty new faces of up-to-date type have type has been selected The addition now m equipped to handle card to a large place work, booklets, dod tions, announcements, every description.

OUR MECHANICS Are men of wide served the trade for THE DENV 1026 19th St. Pho interpreted by the songs of the Hampton singers. Dr. Washington received a fine ovation when he arose to speak and, as usual in addressing white and colored people, emphasized the value of having level headed, conservative, unselfish and able colored leaders; the importance of white people setting colored people a good example; the necessity of colored people focusing their attention on the fundamentals of life-education, health and cleanliness. He showed clearly the oneness of the best white people's interest with that of his colored neighbor, the power of cooperation in improving community life, as well as conditions in the schools, in the homes and in the churches. "Our race," said Dr. Washington, "aims to build up strong, moral men and women to promote its progress. We believe in training for useful service on the farm and in the shops, as well as in the classroom and the pulpit." The appeal in behalf of the institution was ably presented in a letter from Major Robert Russa Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton. Major Moton said: "Hampton institute, through schools like Tuskegee and Calhoun, in Alabama; Lawrenceville, in Virginia; Penn school, in South Carolina, and graduates like Dr. Booker T. Washington and others, is teaching how peoples of different races, men of different creeds and colors, how the north and the south and how the black and white can work together for the good of man and the glory of God. "As the result of Hampton's extension work the Negro Organization society, a movement which grew out of Hampton institute, has succeeded in getting nearly 200,000 colored people in the state of Virginia during "clean-up week" last April to clean up their premises, destroy breeding places for mosquitoes, flies, etc., thereby making possible better sanitary conditions for blacks and whites. The best thing that this movement has accomplished is that it has brought the two races in Virginia into a wholesome and helpful contact, enabling them to mutually work for the community without the embarrassment or compromise of either one.

THE NEW WAV 50 65 TRUE REFORMERS GETTING IN LINE New Management Has Confidence of the Public. BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK Widely Known Secret Fraternity Founded by the Late Rev. W. W. Browne Thirty-four Years Agre- organized For More Effective Work. Rosbuds to Hold Two Conventions. By GEORGE F. KING. Richmond, Va. — Throughout the country Afro-Americans interested in every movement making for the con- servation of the economic interest of the race are rallying to the officials of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers. This is largely due to the ability of the new management of the order to govern its affairs. There is a different system of doing things at the home office, and this organization, which became the cynosure of the business world under the leadership of its founder and organizer, the late W. W. Browne, is coming into its own. The Grand Fountain is now being managed by an executive committee which meets weekly, audits the ac J DR. W. H. SMITH—MAURICE ROUSELLER counts and looks into all the details of the institution. The members of the order and every one who will investigate the affairs of this national institution will readily reach the con- clusion that it is now being managed as its illustrious founder desired. The main efforts of the order are to re- establish confidence and to pay every dollar it owes and to send out men and women of integrity and high ideas as its representatives. Another strong indication of the order's final trumph is its policy of retrenchment, economy and business integrity. Because of thorough and open business methods of G. W. M., S. S. Morris, Irvin East, S. W. Hall of Richmond, J. R. Wilson of Danville, Va.; Mrs. S. F. Lewis of Washington, G. W. S. Maurice Rouselle and G. W. Treas. Dr. William H. Smith, composing the executive committee, and hundreds of subordinate officers who are working in harmony, success is assured. The fraternity has a membership of 90,000 in twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia. At the last annual session the reports showed a business done to the amount of $75,000, and men and women of character, ability and broad conception of the possibilities of the race were again stimulated in its commercial activities. Every member and delegate received every consideration due them at the annual session. This organization is now being conducted upon a basis as safe as any organization in the country. The grand officers have been bounded in the sum of $10,000, and recently the books of the grand secretary and grand treasurer were examined by an expert accountant and were found to be absolutely correct. With such capable men as the Rev. S. S. Morris and Maurice Rousseille, who have had twenty-five years of experience in business and a progressive man such as Dr. Smith, the order will become strong and effective. Dr. Smith has been engaged in business here for the past ten years. He is well known and has the confidence of the public. A campaign for 5,000 new members by June 1 is now in progress. With the hearty co-operation of the members of the order the general officers and the executive committee feel confident that the number of new members will exceed 5,000 within the time named above. The juvenile department, known as the Rosebud department, is increasing in numbers very rapidly. There will be held two conventions of this department during the spring. The first convention, known as the southern division, will hold its meeting in this city, April 6, and the northern division will convene in Baltimore May 4. Clarence Stacks Appointed Cashier. Clarence Stacks, a recent honor graduate of the Denver university, has been appointed cashier and head book- keeper of the Fraternal Bank and Trust company of Fort Worth, Tex. HINTS ON FOOD NUTRITIO. Bad Effect of Fried Meat Shown—Eat to Conserve Health. One of the worst enemies of our race is fried meat, salt or fresh. This is the diet traditional among the masses of the race and one which contributes toward much of its ill health. Among the unlearned of the race the ordinary method of cooking meat is to put it into an oven of molten lard, where it stays until brown. The result of this process is a mass of lifeless meat fibers, which have become sogged with grease, while the health giving nutriment has evaporated and gone off into the clouds of smoke which arise from the skillet. This indigestible mass places an unnecessary burden upon the stomach, and in due time there follow headaches, drowsiness and all forms of stomach troubles, which by weakening the body make it a suitable camping ground for all sorts of disease germs. The proper way to prepare meat is either to boil, broil or roast it. The broiling or roasting process when properly done preserves the nutrition with minimum loss, while in boiling it the nutrition is drawn out and, as we say, "flavors" the gravy or soup. We eat too much meat anyway. Meat twice a day is enough for the hardest laborer, while once a day is sufficient for the ordinary worker. Milk, eggs (not fried), apples (baked and stewed), potatoes, baked beans and such things are highly recommended by the food specialists as being far more valuable and digestible than the frequent use of meat. Since food is the fuel which supplies power for the engines of the body, it is well at this time that we face this question frankly and learn something of food values and uses. For your own sake ask your physician about fried meat, and for the sake of others bring this question up in some of the discussions which you will attend during the national Negro health week, which is to be observed from March 21 to 27. Ask your physician about the health week, or write to Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Negro Business league, Tuskegee institute, Alabama. MU-SO-LIT CLUB NOTES. M.

Ellis confessedly is. Speaking of Negro culture, a promi nenf writer says one, {s surprised at their (the Africans’) Knowledge of hy- glene, physiology and the principles of medicine. Some of the operations per- formed by thelr physictans simply stagger bellef. Instances are cited where their surgeons have extracted bullets and set bones, removing frac- tured and shattered parts that would have been a surgical triumph in any of the highly civilised countries. ‘This seems incredible, but when you see a native doctor wash a man's hand fn # medical solution, then see that hand thrust into boiling palm oil and withdrawn without pain or injury. something suggests to the strongest incredulity that perhaps these people have learned something yet unknown to modern science.

Just State's Chief Ex- ecutive Says the Award Is Given In the Spirit of Fellowship, Brotherhood and of Americaniem. New York.—The National Association For the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple added another victory to its many brilliant efforts in behalf of the colored race in this country at its annual meet- ing held in Ethical Culture hall, in this city, on the evening of Feb. 12 when Governor Charles 8. Whitman deliy- ered an able address and presented the Spingarn medal to Dr. Ernest Everett Just of Howard university. Governor Whitman said: “I know you ‘will pardon—perhaps you will appreciate—a very short speech from me tonight, and I know that you will understand my leaving, although I should be very glad to re- main and enjoy the speeches which are to follow, and I am sincerely sorry that Tam unable to. In the gain or loss of ‘one race all the rest have equal claim. It is altogether fitting that this great audience, white and black, should unite in doing honor to one whose achieve- ment and attainment reflect so much credit upon American institutions, American training and education, American life, and particularly as they do upon the colored race to which he belongs. “The brilliant young man to whom the committee has awarded the Spin- garn, medal has achieved distinction in a field where competition is the keenest and where real worth is the final test. In the New England col- lege, where few of his race have been found, he was the leader in scholar- ship, receiving special honor, and since his graduation much of his time has been given to successful scientific in- vestigation, and his contribution to medical science is of no mean order. In the highest and best sense he has been giving himself to his own people, modestly and unselfishly giving of the results of his own intellectual endeav- or, trying to improve the medical edu- cational facilities for the colored peo- ple. “A distinguished scholar writes of him, ‘His, most recent work Js of the greatest significance and would insure him a wide reputation were be a white man.’ I have no right, of course, to take issue with this statement, for the writer is far better informed than am I, but I am slow to believe. I hate to believe that in the field’ of medical acience my countrymen are ungenerous and unwilling to ward a just meed of praise and the proper recognition to a rea! scientist of any race. “Dr. Just has made the most of the ‘opportunities offered to the boys of our land, white und black. His success is @ reason for gratification to every loyal American, demonstrating as it does the Poesibilities, with opportunity, of a race which in years gone by has suf- fered so cruelly at the hands of the white man. It is interesting, too, to| note that he was chosen from among | a long list of candidates for this honor. every one of whom reflected credit upon his race and demonstrated the ability of a people who a little more than u generation ago were in dark- ‘ness, to conipete with other Americans, and alpiost all of them, as 41 am tn- formed, are working with and among the colored people. Education, im- proved conditions of living. opportu- nity and achievement, have not torn them away from their own or separat- fant their kinsmen and their ina. “The success of this young man has been called 1 lesson to the Negroes of this nation, And so it is. It is just as truly a lesson to the white man of the nation. His rights are dear to him, but unless we are going to concede that American institutions are wrong and that the framers of the federal Somer yuan, SPT Te a ASL SAE TNE Insurance Companies Come and Go, But the Union Health andjAccident Co.

Citizens of Both Races In Westchester County Out In Large Numbers at Big Celebration Held In Philipsburgh Hall, In Yonkers—Young and Dancy the Chief Speakers. Yonkers.—One of the largest celebrations held in honor of the birthdays of Lincoln and Douglass In this section of New York state was the one given recently under the auspices of the Westchester County league, which is composed of the colored citizens of Westchester county. The affair marked the sixth annual dinner of the league and was held in the spacious auditorium of Philipsburgh hall with upward of 500 persons in attendance. The league is a civic organization whose purpose is to more closely unite our people along all lines of advancement. Paul H. Bray, president of the league, presided over the program, which, as he stated, was of unusual interest in that it was arranged in honor of two of America's most noted men—the great Abraham Lincoln, who preserved the Union and destroyed slavery, and Frederick Douglass, a man of our own race, with a mind of great power and one of the great anti-slavery orators whose voice in opposition to human slavery was heard on two continents. Mr. Bray also said that the race in Westchester county appreciated the fact that one of its members, M. John W. Hoffman of Ossining had been appointed deputy sheriff of the county. A delightful feature of the program was a series of organ numbers by P. C. Bolin, organist and choirmaster of St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal church of New York and a musician of unquestioned ability. He played the first movement of the sonata in C minor of Rheinberger, the large from the "New World" symphony of Dvorak and the fantasia in G minor of Bach. In addition to the two eulogies brief speeches were made by Sheriff Wiesen-danger and City Treasurer Peck. After congratulating the league on the splendid progress which it has made since its inception six years ago the Hon. Frank L. Young in part said: "I am to speak to you tonight on a subject—Lincoln—which attracts every American, no matter what his creed, color or race, for it is this man who holds the admiration of the whole American people. Lincoln did a great work for a great people. I mean what I say by a great people, for you are a great people." The speaker referred to the touching events incident to Lincoln's assassination. "Lincoln," said he, "never forgot his loyalty, not only to his friends, but to his convictions. We must never forget that of all the great men this country has produced the integrity of Lincoln was without blemish. His nationalism was true; there was no hypocrisy in his character, no playing to the gallery for votes; he was honest with himself and with everybody, and these are characteristics that all Americans like. He saw in every man a brother, no matter what color or what race." John C. Dancy, former recorder of the District of Columbia, who has been heard with pleasure on several occasions in Westchester county, was the last speaker. He made an eloquent address on "Frederick Douglass," showing the similarity between Douglass' career and that of Lincoln. Douglass who born a slave in Maryland, while Lincoln was born nonnortly a freedman in Kentucky. Neither of them had any advantages to help him along in life; each had to "paddle his own canoe" and "to root hog or die." Each had a sense of humor. One was a lawyer; the other was the sexton of a little church in New Bedford, Mass., and finally a local preacher. "One went along legal lines," said the speaker. "and the other followed the example of the lowly Nazarene and taught others." MEHARRY COLLEGE MAKES PROGRESS How Dr. R. H. Voorhees Conducts Dental Department. SHOWS HIGH EFFICIENCY. Fine Record of Brilliant Young Alumnus, Who Is Giving His Alma Mater the Benefit of His Rare Knowledge. Dean Hubbard's Devotion to the Medical Profession. Nashville, Tenn.--The Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical college has furnished to the race most of the physicians, dentists and pharmacists of the south, among whom are some of the best in the country. These men and women, scattered all over the United States, are helping to make sentiment for the entire race. Dr. R. H. Voorhees, a young man in this city, occupied a place in the front rank of dentists and is now devoting his time in trying to help other young men to become proficient and make good. He has earned all that he has or all that he has made in the way of a reputation. He has been doing work along this line for the past sixteen years. When he entered Meharry nearly twenty years ago he was without money, but he had pluck, push and ambition, backed up by industry, honesty and reliability, and with these he appeared before Dr. G. W. Hubbard, dean of the college, declaring that he desired to be a dentist. He was not afraid of work, but had formed an alliance with it. He worked in the school printing office and during the summer found employment in hotels in various parts of the country. In this way he was able to finish his course. Thus his life and work should be an inspiration to other young men of the race who are slitting around complaining about nothing to do or the treatment at the hands of other races. It was in 1901 that this young man graduated from Meharry dental department, sharing a part of the class honors. He was ready to start in life, but did not have money enough to buy the necessaries of life, to say nothing about furnishing an office. He had made a good impression on the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, and when his condition was made known to this great man he at once furnished an office in his own building, fitted it up and then turned his attention to giving encouragement to Dr. Voorhees as well as other young men. Giving four hours each day to teaching in the dental department of Meharry and having a large city practice will account for the first two years of Dr. Voorhees' work in Nashville, and after four years of good work he went to Chicago, where he took a post graduate course in the Northwestern university dental department and was perhaps the first member of the race to receive a certificate from the post graduate course of that institution. With this diploma he returned to Nashville better prepared to prosecute his work. Practicing in the city and teaching in Meharry is the record of this young man for a number of years. Now he has charge of the dental department of the school, being the demonstrator and instructor. Wonderful improvements have been made from time to time until it ranks second to none in the country. This has forced Dr. Voorhees to give up his actual practice and devote his entire time to the work. This has been done at a sacrifice, but with a desire to help young men. He is devoted to Meharry and declares that he is willing to do anything in his power for the success of the school. He deems it necessary for the members of the race to make sacrifices like men of the order and rank of Dr. George W. Hubbard. When yet a young man he married, and a few years ago his wife died. Since he has remarried. He has a comfortable home and home surroundings. As to the work of Dr. Hubbard it is interesting to note that he has given fifty years of his life to medical work. Sixteen years ago there were to be found in the dental department nineteen students and an infirmary with five chairs and one small laboratory. At this time there are 136 students, two infirmaries with twenty-three chairs and six laboratories fitted with most of the latest equipments. Most of these improvements and progress have been made under Dr. Voorhees' super vision. In the graduating class for this year are thirty-nine students, and they are working hard to finish and then launch out into the world. The demonstrator, Dr. Voorhees, keeps in direct touch with the graduates from his department and is prepared to tell about each of them. He shows what thorough preparation will do for a young man who tries to advance. Useful Book on Business Enterprises. C. H. Watson of Charlotte, N.

Thus we are forcibly reminded that while in life we are in midst of death, for today we behold a vacancy in Class No. 5, which will never be filled again, caused by the mighty reaper who has no respect of person. The young as well as the old must obey the mandates of His will, thus our little friend and schoolmate, Veroneta, was taught to remember her Creator in days of her youth, and Whereas, We realize no words of ours can express our great love for her in the Sunday School and Class No. 5, we deem it but fitting to extend our heartfelt sympathy to the be-reaved father, brother and relatives; and Whereas, We learn our little sister, Veroneta, had professed a hope in Christ many weeks before her demise, and desired very much to be baptized, thus showing Him she was willing to follow Him who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me," and Whereas, We believe the family loss and the loss of the Sunday School is heaven's gain, therefore be it Resolved, That we, as a Sunday School and Church, as a whole, extend to the bereaved father, brother and relatives our loving sympathy in this hour of their grief and sorrow, and in memory of her we scribe these lines: "And God came with His angels just at early morn. And opened wide the gates of heaven. And then our dear Veroneta passed inside. Oh, how sad will be the days, dear Veroneta. Since your face we will see no more. But we know you are safe with Jesus On that ever beautiful golden shore." Be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions of condolence be sent the family and the city paper and the same spread upon our minutes. Respectfully submitted. W. A. MOORE.
