Denver Star

Because Jones is friendless and helpless, shall we let him hang without an effort to save him? It is up to you 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 78 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1915 FIVE CENTS A COPY FAIR AMERICANS DE- NOUNCE RACE HATRED. Boston, Mass.—At a large meeting held Sunday at Tremont Temple to protest against the unfair treatment of colored citizens by white citixens, Moorfield Sforey declared that an organized movement exists in this country so keep the colored people down. Congressman Martin B. Madden of Chicago declared that there is just as much Southern anti-colored control in Congress today as before the war, and they are just as much rebel in their hearts. We pledge our loyalty to the republic of the United States and to the great principles for the perpetuation of which it was conceived and founded, freedom and equal opportunity for all. Without animosity or rancor, but firm in the belief that protest is urgently needed, we protest against the attempts in the national Congress by certain men from one section of the country to extend through national laws their unAmerican and sectional doctrines of race humiliation. Segregation and Jim Crow legislation will prevent no evil and will only arouse Race hatred. Racial blood intermixture between white people and colored people will never be prevented by laws which punish marriage and open the door to immorality. If this country is civilized it should protect all women regardless of color. The proposed anti-marriage law is merely a flimsy pretense, the sole result of which would be the protection of the white libertine. Resolved that these resolutions be printed, and a copy sent to each member of the Sixty-fourth Congress and to the President. Palm Beach, Fla.—George W. Perkins, partner of the late J. P. Morgan, was rescued from drowning this morning when the fishing smack in which he was riding capsized in the Saint Lucie Intet. near Stuart, Fla. Mr. Perkins might have drowned but for the expert swimming of a Negro fisherman, who battled against heavy waves and succeeded in landing him on a sandbar at the inlet. The boat turned over when it was caught in a trought of the waves. Mr. Perkins was taken to his house, after his escape. It was reported he suffered no ill effects from his experience. BRUCE GRIT WRITES ON HAITI. From a racial point of view it should be the ambition of every American Negro to be connected with some worthy member of his Race in the Black Republic of Haiti—that land where every Negro is a man in the broadest sense of the term. ```markdown ``` This opportunity which many will appreciate, is now offered to Afro-Americans in the U. S. to enter into business relations with a worthy member of the Race—Mr. Theodore Stephens, Cape Haitien, Haiti, who is dealer in and exporter of the following produce of the Haitian soil: coffe, cocoa, honey, beeswax, cane syrup, cotten, cotton seeds, goatskins, lambskins, ox hides, manogany boards and in crutches, etc. As is well known. Haiti Coffee is among the finest and best flavored coffee in the world, and commands a very high price in France, Holland Germany, Switzerland and other European countries, where it is highly relished beyond the Brazilian grain. Americans of the Race should patronize both the product of Haiti and the brother who handles it. Try it, it will pay you to do so. Haitian cocoa: This produce, like all others of Haiti, is cultivated on a very extensive scale and is shipped to both America and Europe, in the latter country it obtains a remunerative figure, and is always in high demand. In our own America, Haitian cocoa is also well known indeed, too well known to need any more recommendation. Still on behalf of our sister Republic, the men and women of our race should familiarize themselves with the merits of this valuable delicious and nutritive drink which, if imported from Haiti—a neighboring land of 5 and 1-2 days' run by steamer—will give a very profitable return to business men. We should enter minutely into details concerning the other products of the Island Republic, but sufficient to say for the present that Haiti, her people, her native produce and the importation of same into our American trade should be patronized to a great extent. Make a trial and embrace the opportunity of making money by communicating with an exporter of wide experience and high moral standing—The odore Stephens, Cape Haitian, Haiti. Local Negro Business Leagnes have been organized in Camden, N.J., Cleburne, Tex., Springfield, Mo., Anderson, S C., Brinson, Ga., Ramer, Ala., Staunton, Va., Gainesville, Texas, and Mason, Tenn. The meeting was attended by many prominent modern abolitionists. Negro Saves Life of George W. Perkins. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1915 WAKING THE SLEEPING LION. Negro Voters in Denver Aroused Over their Strength. Ignored and Mistreated in the Past. Will Right Wrongs. If I should assemble the 3500 voters of color in this city and tell them that they are constantly electing men to office who, not only discriminate against them, but who use their utmost endeavor to permanently deprive them of just representation in the city jobs, what do you think my hearers would do? If I should continue and tell them that only in this last municipal election they elected commissioners who have tacitly directly and indirectly ignored, humiliated and disgraced them; if I should have each one of the 3500 honest, hardworking tax paying voters stand up and produce their tax receipt showing what they are paying in dollars and cents for the upbuilding of this city, what do you think they would do for better and fairer treatment? If I should make them understand that all citizens who pays taxes and bears the burdens of this city's expenses, are equally entitled to share in the benefits of citizenship—holding office, receiving jobs and being accorded just and respectful representation according to his strength, could you keep them still? If I should show him, to deny him these things only means that opportunities for a chance to earn an honest living by digging in the streets, driving a sprinkler, sittiag at a clerk's desk, running and delivering messages or tenderly caring for and administering unto the sick in our hospitals, these chances to live and enjoy life are being stolen or bartered away or that he is too lazy to chose his own. Now 3500 voters of color, The Star is telling you that a fair proportion of all these things belong to you, you and you. Go after them to get and land them. Think of it! 3500 voters and no Negroes in the city shops, city attorney's office, city garage, city yerds, public bath house, (where Pitcher says when you and your family shall bathe) art commission, city auditorium, city market, coroner's office, Sand Creek hospital, poor farm, Steele hospital, detention home, Juvenile Court, County hospital, city park, city park green houses, city park barn, city park pavillon, Cheesman park, Berkeley park, Highland, Rocky Mountain Lake, Curtis street, East 28th Ave., and Washington parks, (where Otto Thum said Negroes could not bathe); License dept., Board of Health, Police Court, Plumbing, Electricity, Highway department, city engineers, surveyors, sanitary inspections, cleaning streets, digging and excavating for city, driving the sweeper wagons, cutting trees and sprinkling in forestry service, driving and hiring teams to the city and many other jobs in the offices, at the city hall and NO NEGRO employed. The Negro is scantily represented at the jail, in the fire and police departments, yet he has no full pledged city detective; has a janitor or two at city hall and a driver of dead animals and a possible caretaker of the city toilets on 16th street. Compare the kind and the number of jobs held by the Negroes. The Star safely says that out of the 3500 voters not 35 Negroes are employed by the city. Did -ou ever stop and consider this unfairness? The Negro has produced lawyers, doctors, inspectors, nurses, laborers, artisans, electricians, engineers, firemen, men who cannot only work in parks, but guard the parks as policemen, women who can become juvenile officers and do clerical work as well. Is it definitely settled that the Negro cannot and must not hope to have any of the above named positions? This is the present plight of nearly 8,000 ambitious Negroes rapidly progressing in intelligence, wealth and in responsible elements of power. Yet in Denver the shrewd politicians have thwarted every efforts with the assistance of organized labor to starve him out. Men of the highest public city positions whose positions have been secured by a Negro constituency, denounce their black constituents, increasing more prejudice and race hatred against the Negro by doing little and insignificant acts against the race. No where has there been a voice to answer back in the behalf of the Negro. Rules and regulations to degrade and humiliate the Negro have been made by the commissioners, the likes of which no official would dare whisper concerning any other racial element of this city. Yet losing constantly the Negroes tongue has been tied and hushed into silent cowardice. Mr. Negro voter did you know that through the contractors and sub-contractors on the West Colfax viaduct, NO NEGRO labor is to be hired in any capacity? In other words Mr. Taxpayer and good watchful waiting citizens of color any tramp or any foreigner who can't speak common English is preferable to you and your labor, although your taxes help pay the men to starve (Continued on page 2.)

C. FIVE CENTS A COPY. Brilliant Array at Old Colony Halll. Every Previous Social Effor, Excelled in Costly Gowns, Decorations, Beauty and Grandeur. (By See Em Bee) Grace, elegance and art marked the dancing party of Mr. and Mrs. Reed Thomas at Old Colony hall Thursday evening, March 11th. The pretty affair was in honor of Mrs. Thomas's birthday and nearly 100 friends of the host and hostess were present to enjoy their unstinted hospitality. The charming personality and congeniality of both spread among the guests and each vied with the other in showing their appreciation of the occasion by making it one of the most delightful parties on the social calendar of the Lenten season. The beautiful gowns of the ladies, the pretty and artistic decorations transformed Old Colony hall into a bower of loveliness, and with the soft sweet strains of music pealing from Geo. Morrison's orchestra, the fairyland was complete. The color scheme of orange and white was carried out in all the appointments. Fancy orange streamers, thickly studded with large white chrysanthemums, running toward the center of the hall to meet in an artistic design, were so closely arranged that they formed a pretty canopy blending harmoniously with the colors of the beautiful gowns. Large palms added further beauty to the hall and screened the orchestra. The Denver Decorating Co. were in charge of the work. The grand march, led by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, marked the opening of the evening's festivities. During the hours previous Mr. and Mrs. Thomas had welcomed their guests and received congratulations and best wishes for many happy returns of the natal day for Mrs. Thomas. The grand march ended in a pretty waits and with the heat dancing programs well filled, the guests gave themselves up to the evening's enjoyment. The ices and confections were in keeping with the color scheme, as were also the Muskogee and Oklahoma pennants adorning the wall, telling in silent tones the former home of the host and hostess.

The officers of the Lincoln-Douglas Sanatorium Association held special meeting in which an important conference with a committee of the Masons was had. This committee consisted of four well-known and prominent men of affairs among our people. Their questions were directed along the line to ascertain the business basis of the sanatorium, and at the close the chairman of the committee expressed himself as satisfied in all the main features. We hope soon to be able to publish the results of this conference in which four of the most conservative colored business men we have investigated the affairs of the association. We commend most highly the business-like way this body of Masons sought and obtained facts wanted. We are glad to give them first hand information instead of rumors. Let others who want to help the cause and have serious questions in their minds do as the Masons have done. Kindly take note all. The treasurer of the association, Mr. Jordan S. White has secured $1,000 bond to insure all who contribute of the rathin discharge of his duty. Also arrangements have been made through him for a checking account at the United States National bank and money can only be drawn upon the signature of the president, secretary and treasurer. This places the funds of the association upon a standard business basis and insures all who contribute a proper use of the money given the cause. The officers decided at their meeting to hold a special call meeting of the members of the association on Tuesday night, March 30th, for the purpose of thoroughly organizing the forces to prosecute the work. The meeting is not a public meeting but for members and will be held at Scott's M. E. church at 8:30 sharp on the date named above. All members take note and arrange to be present. Some important and encouraging announcements will be officially made and none can afford to miss the meeting. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, the newly-elected corresponding secretary, is extending the work throughout the state through appropriate letters and correspondence and will no doubt make some important announcements. Among other things at this call meeting a special committee will be appointed on revision of the constitution come up for adoption at our annual meeting the first Monday in June. Pay your dues so as to be able to discuss and vote at that June meeting. SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson I.—Second Quarter, For April 4, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt. xxviii, 1-10. Memory Verses, 5, 6—Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 20—Gemmary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The regular lesson would be I Sam. xv, in which we have the record of Saul rejected because he rejected the word of the Lord (I Sam. xv, 23, 26). Samuel reminded him of the time when he was little in his own sight and how the Lord promoted him, but because he preferred his own thoughts and ways to those of the Lord he could not continue. It grieved Samuel; he cried unto the Lord all night; he mourned for Saul, but came no more to see him until the day of his death (I Sam. xv, 11, 35). It is refreshing to turn from such a story to that of another rejected king, but in this case He was rejected by man, not God. God raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory. He is now alive forevermore, the Prince of the kings of the earth, King of kings and Lord of lords, the true Son of David, yet to occupy the throne of David and reign forever, but waiting for His kingdom as David had to wait. The Scripture is full of the sufferings of Christ, from Gen. iii, 15, 21, on to the end of the book, but it is also full of the resurrection, the kingdom and the glory. Willingly and of His own accord He humiliated Himself unto Bethlehem and Nazareth and Golgotha that the Scripture might be fulfilled, but God raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory and all power in heaven and in earth that He might rid the earth of the devil and the curse and make it His own fair world, as in Gen. i. He is our "alive forevermore" king (Rev. 1, 5, 18) waiting for an "alive forevermore" people to reign with Him. If we have seen ourselves as guilty, condemned sinners and have seen Him bearing our sins in His own body and raised from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father and have honestly received Him, putting all our trust in His finished work, then we may safely rest on Eph. i, 6, 7; John vi. 37, 47; Rom. iii, 24, and joyfully anticipate I Thess. iv, 16, 17; I John iii, 1, 2; Col. iii, 4. His enemies made His tom as sure as they could by a seal and a guard of soldiers (Matt. xxvii, 64-66), just about as secure as seals or soldiers can make things today, but all was unavailing. He makes us safe forever by His precious blood, sealing us by His Holy Spirit, and no power can break the bundle of life in which we are bound nor pluck us out of His hand (I Sam. xxv, 29; John x, 28). I like much the great words of Acts 1, 3, "He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God." It is all so grand and suggestive—Himself, infallible proofs, forty days, the things of the kingdom. He had just as infallibly foretold by the prophets and more plainly by His own words that He would suffer and die and rise from the dead the third day, and if His disciples had only believed His words how much sorrow they might have been spared and how much more joy they might have had! It is helpful to keep in mind the five appearances of the resurrection day, which were probably in this order—to Mary Magdalene, the other women, Simon Peter, the Emmaus walk, the ten in the evening. Recently in Judges we saw how God honored Deborah and other women. Now it is Mary and the other women, and, although Mary Magdalene saw Him first, the other women are the first to touch Him. (verse 9). The reason is plainly given in John xx, 17, implying that between the two appearings He had ascended and returned. What He did at His several appearings during those forty days gives us a sample of what we can do in our glorified bodies. What an inspiration it should be to us to consider it! These women who so loved Him and were devoted to Him, not expecting His resurrection, had bought spices with which to anoint His dead body when the Sabbath was past, but they never did. Believing His word will prevent us from spending money unwisely. Love is in some respects the greatest, but in the matter of service it must be faith working by love (I Cor. xxil, 13; Gal. v, 6). Note the ministry of angels at His birth, in the wilderness and in Gethsemane, as well as in our lesson, and take comfort from Heb. i, 14. Note the "Fear not" of the angel (verse 5; Luke ii, 10) and compare the Lord's "Peace be unto you" of Luke xxiv, 36, and hear His own voice to you in many similar sayings, for all His thoughts to His people, however unworthy we may be, are thoughts of peace (Jer. xxix, 1; Ps. xxix, 11). Since Christ is risen our great commission is, "Go tell!" "Go teach all nations!" "Go into all the world!" (Verses 7, 10, 19; Mark xvl. 15.) And if we are not obedient great will be our loss. It is ours to be obedient, to go quickly and tell. He will see to the results. There is no use talking about the power of His resurrection unless His love constrains us to make it known. A commentator reminds us that the devil paid large money to have a lie proclaimed (verses 11-15), but our Lord sends us forth with the truth and by us to provide all things (verses 16-20).

THE NEW WAV 50 65 BRYD HAMES SO MANY TAILS EARLY STRUGGLES OF J. S. WILLIAMS Up From Garber Shop Farter to Wealth and Influence. PAID FOR OWN EDUCATION. Thrifty Shreveport Man Who Was Thrown Upon His Own Responsibility When a Mere Boy Worked Diligently In Many Fields, Set Standard High and Wor Success. Shreveport, La.—That merit, backed up by industry, honesty and thrift, will win a place for any American citizen is proved in the successful business career of James S. Williams of this city, who has worked from the lowest to the highest standing among the business men in this section. Mr. Williams was born in Franklin, La., shortly after the emancipation of the slaves. While he was not born a slave, yet he was twelve years old before he knew that he was free. Just how he learned this is unknown, yet M. when he learned that he was free he had in his little heart a desire to know something, and he had decided in his own mind that he was going to learn if he had to spend all of his life working for the opportunity. His first step was not in a schoolroom, but in a workshop. He went to New Orleans when a mere boy and secured a job in a barber shop as porter, determined to learn the barber trade so as to earn more money. He made up his mind to use this money in getting an education. It did not take him long to graduate as a full fledged barber, and when he had sufficient capital he invested it in brains in the New Orleans university. He was an apt student and learned rapidly, his main studies being business and book-keeping. He looked on the practical side of each study. He did not graduate from any department of the university, but what he learned he learned it so well that he was prepared to apply it to his own advancement. He did not fail to take advantage of every opportunity. Each year he made progress. As a bootblack he took the first place, and the same was true when he was a barber, and when a student he was always at the head of his class. He made up his mind to take first place in everything. Leaving New Orleans, he went to Rayville, La., and became head porter in a hotel. The hotel was destroyed by fire, and then he went into the barber business. He operated a shop and later bought a few horses, went into the livery business and also opened a store. Now he had a combination of livery and merchandising. This started him on his way to the success and prosperous business he now owns. He made some cash money in Rayville at his combination business and after five years of strict attention to his work closed up this business and came to this city about sixteen years ago and went into the undertaking business. Step by step he has gone forward until today he is one of the leading men in his line in America. He has fifteen head of horses, carriages, buggies and automobiles. Everything that goes to make up a first class establishment he has on his premises. Mr. Williams is the highest taxpayer of his race in this section of the country. He has won all of this through hard work, through push and pluck. He is one of the leading spirits in the Negro Business league, being president of the State Business league and a life member of the National Negro Business league. What Mr. Williams has done others can do, but they must have what he worked with in the start and what he is still using—industry, honesty and thrift. African Chief Aide British Soldiers. Mme. Humo Nyaha, the paramount chief of the Kennema, who is a member of the Nongowa tribe, whose headquarters are at Kennema, in West Africa, has, with her subchiefs, presented the English government, for the use of the soldiers now fighting against Germany, 100 bushels of clean rice and fourteen bullocks. MEHARRY COLLEGE MAKES PROGRESS How Dr. R. H. Voorhees Conducts Dental Department. Fine Record of Brilliant Young Alum- nus, 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 sitting 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' supervision. 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. Oversal Book on Business enterprises. C. H. Watson of Charlotte, N.

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.

National Body Takes Bold Stand Against Segregation of Its Members. Houston, Tex.--Though its influence is directed to a special sphere, one of the most helpful organizations having for its aim the betterment of our people is the National Alliance of Postal Employees. The first of this year saw the alliance reach the height of its prosperity. Formed to safeguard the interests of the Negro clerks in governmental service and especially in the railway mail service, the alliance is the direct outcome of a call issued by Henry L. Mims of this city. Twenty-six clerks answered the call and met at Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 6, 1913. These clerks, representing fourteen states, effected a permanent organization, with Mr. Mims as president. As evidence of his high standing and the efficient work which he did in perfecting the organization of the alliance, Mr. Mims was re-elected at the second annual meeting, which was held in St. Louis. It was the verdict of the clerks in attendance at the meeting that the organization had exceeded the highest expectations of those who had striven hard to make it a success. At this meeting, aside from the president, the following were selected to direct the affairs of the alliance: C. B. Shepperson of Arkansas, vice president; R. L. Bailey of Indiana, secretary; A. H. Hendricks of Georgia, treasurer, and Irvin Butler of Tennessee, auditor. The official organ of the organization is the Alliance. Of this Frank A. Carter of St. Louis was elected editor. The alliance issues insurance at cost to its members, indemnifying them against loss of time by accident and paying for accidental death. Aside from the insurance feature, the organization has the approval of the postoffice department and is now placing before the department a plan by which the colored clerks may have the privilege of taking up directly with the higher officials of the postoffice department through the alliance's officers the grievances of the members. With reference to the segregation movement being forwarded by the white clerks of the south, President Mims and officers of the alliance refuse to "try their case in the papers," but it is known that the alliance is going to make a strong fight before the postoffice officials to see that none of the rights of the Negro clerks, guaranteed by the constitution of the United States, shall be denied them. The organization will contend that all promotions fairly earned in competition with white clerks be given to the men whose records are the best regardless of color. Nothing less than a square deal will be satisfactory to the officials of the alliance, and this they believe they will obtain when the colored clerks side of the segregation question is fairly presented to the higher department officials. The motto of the organization is going to be, so it is learned. "Legislate no worthless man forward nor arbitrarily relegate any worthy man backward." BELGIAN CONGO NATIVES. Their Habits and Customs Vividly Described by Dr. W. H. Sheppard. Everyday life in the Belgian Kongo was graphically described by Dr. William H. Sheppard of Louisville, Ky., at a recent Sunday evening chapel service at the Hampton (Va.) institute. Dr. Sheppard, who became some years ago a fellow of the Royal Geographical society on account of his African explorations and studies, told the Hampton workers and students about his early experiences as a missionary. In March, 1800, the son of Judge Lapleya, a young white man of Alabama, and Dr. Sheppard made their way into the Kongo region and after many difficulties reached the Kassal river, known to the natives as the "river of spirits" on account of the number of people annually taken by the crocodiles. Dr. Sheppard said: When Mr. Lapsley was lying in the canoe sick with the fever some natives came forward with spears and were going to kill him and his coworker. Dr. Sheppard faced the hostile people to save the life of the young southerner, who was afterward known among the natives as the "Pathfinder," because of his ability to find his way into the heart of the country and into the hearts of the natives. Mr. Lapsley, who continued my missionary work by establishing a Sunday school and bringing Christ's message to the people of the interior. The African natives who live under the cruel hand of superstition are to be sympathized with. The twitching of the hand, the snake crossing the trail, the hooting of the owl in the jungle are all signs of some unforeseen danger. Going on a journey if there was a tree in the path a crowd went around it on the same side, not allowing it to part them. A man going on a journey, if he stubbed one, would never go on; he would stop and sit in the shade, not allowing it to part him. If a man is accused of stealing he is forced to put one hand in boiling water three times. If the hand is not scalded he is considered innocent. We watched a man who had been accused plunge his arm in up to the elbow—one, two, three times. The skin began to peel off. He was called guilty and was heavily fined. Young girls who had been accused came before the witch doctors. They put pepper in the girls' eyes and hold it tight with a copper wire and say, "If you are not guilty it will not burn you." I have seen a girl going around for weeks with sick and swollen eyes who, in the minds of the natives, was being accused of passing in Central Africa. The natives are learning that Christian doctors and teachers can help them more than the witch doctors. Christianity is taking possession of the hearts of the natives. These African curios which I show you here describe in detail the economic and social life of the natives In spite of the fact that his life was nearly taken because he dared to reveal the atrocities committed in the Belgian Kongo by the officers of King Leopold, Dr. Sheppard has been most willing to give all that he can afford to help the Belgians in their dire distress. Dr. Sheppard made clear that the murder of people in the Kongo, where rubber is such an important commodity, was not sanctioned by the Belgians. "The African colony known as the Belgian Kongo was the private property of King Leopold. There are many people in Belgium who knew nothing at all about King Leopold's officers cutting off the hands and ears of natives who failed to gather the quantity of rubber expected of them. "The Master has given me the heart and spirit of Hampton," said Dr. Sheppard in conclusion. "I would not hate any man." SUMNER LITERARY SOCIETY. Hampton Organization Hears Lecture on "The Ministry of Poetry." Hampton, Va.—Dr. Charles Alphonso Smith, Edgar Allan Poe professor of English in the University of Virginia and author of "What Can Literature Do For Me?" recently delivered an interesting lecture in the Hampton institute Y. M. C. A. hall on "The Ministry of Poetry" before the Sunner Literary society, an organization of colored men and women living in Hampton and Phoebus. Dr. Smith referred to poetry as the finest form of literature. He said it had three special functions—the ministry of revelation or prophecy, the ministry of expression and the ministry of restitution. Poets are more powerful than historians or monuments. The real poet anticipates the future, interprets the present and restores the past. The Sumner Literary society and its friends feel it has been a real inspiration and treat to have a man of Dr. Smith's standing give to them so freely and willingly from his wonderful stores of knowledge and experience. Dr. Smith while at Hampton institute was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. H. B. Frissell at the Mansion House. Trotter Makes Second Speaking Tour. Editor William M.

Daily Statesman paid the following tribute editorially to the late Francis J. Moutrie, whose funeral was held from the Westminster church in Yonkers, Sunday, March 7: "Tributes of respect to the memory of a good man who had lived a good life were paid at his funeral in Yonkers. Merited words of praise were spoken of him who had passed away in his seventy-third year and his character extolled as worthy of emulation. "Emerging from the obscurity of humble birth, he overcame the impediments of race and penury. He achieved success, and the methods employed by him furnish inspiring examples to those who would achieve. They may well be noted and imitated by young people at the beginning of their careers. "This venerable citizen was a man of industry and thrift. His honesty was impregnable, his loyalty unswerving and his business integrity pronounced. And he was a man of his word, for his promises were unbroken. He was a helper who helped with heart and voice and hand. "Such stepping stones should assist any one to advance, and they assisted him. His nature was religious and his uplifting influence strong, both as a layman and as a preacher. He was a consistent Christian. He pointed the right way, and he pointed it well. "Yonkers was better for the life he lived here; Yonkers is poorer because he is gone. This good man was Francis James Moxitrie. His loss is mourned, and he is missed by many. Mr. Moultrie was a caterer by profession and was wealthy. He owned the house in which he died and several other pieces of valuable property in Yonkers." 301 8th Ave., Great Falls, Mont HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF PENNSYLVANIA MASONS.

E ee On 1g ee: | New York.—For a number of years the race has boasted of comedians, singers and dancers of ability, but few colored men haye won a reputation for possessing what is known in the the- atrical world as “business brains.” While we have had many stars on the stage, we have not had many box office stars—those wiih business brajus who make salaries possible. Lester:A. Wal- ton, for many years managing and dra- matic editor of the New York Age, is attracting attention both in white and colored theatrical circles as a “box of- fice star.” Mr. Walton's latest and most success- ful accomplishment 1s 0 manager was in taking over the Lafayette theater, in this city, with C. W. Morganstern and making it a paying venture, al- though other managers, colored and white, failed dismally in their efforts to make the theater pay. Some lost hun- dreds of dollars, and all of them gave up the Lafayette theater, declaring that it was {mpossible to make the house a winner. In May, 1914, Mr. Walton and his partner became lessees of the Lafa- yette theater at a yearly rental of $25,000. As others had failed to make the house a success, the consensus of opinion was that the new managers would be out of the place Inside of six weeks, as the majority argued that the theater was badly run down, although but two years old, and the rent was Be a See Qe Le wi eevun (Aci WALTON too steep. In the face of all the dis couraging talk Lester A. Walton Ge- ¢lared that If conducted properly and clean, up to date entertainment was provided the Lafayette theater could be put on a paying basis, and he set fo work to accomplish that end. All the help employed at the Lafa- yette theater by Mr. Walton is colored from the front of the house to the back of the stage, and the theater haw come to the financial rescue of many # col- ored performer out of work and dnable to get booking at white theaters. Dur- ing the three weeks’ engagement of J. Leubrie Hill's Darktown Follics at ‘the Lafayette theater In February of this year, under the personal direction of Mr. Walton, nearly $2,000 was pald weekly to performers. house help and extra help, all colored. While Mr. Walton is doing all in bis power to provide salaries for members of the race he 1s also trying to solve the race problem by showing the ab- surdity of the clatms of radical white people that the two races cannot Mt side by side In the same places of {pab- lic accommodation withont frictidh. At the Lafayette theater hundreds of white people patronize the house and do not object to sitting next to colored people. Then a mixed bill ts usually given at the Lafayette theater when vaudeville is in vogue, there bethg an equal ‘number of white and colored acts, The white acts do not hesitate to play at the Lafayette theater and nev- er object to being patd their salary by a colored manager. Lenter A. Walton Is in his early: thir- tles and fs a native of St. Louls, being product of the public schools of bis home city. He is the son of Mr and Mrs, Benjamin A. Walton, both of whom are ving. For six years he was ‘a reporter on the local daily papérs of St. Louls. where he made a reputation as 1 court reporter.

Mr. Logan in May, 1900, said, “Your name has been recommended to me by so many people in different parts of the country that we feel ax 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 elghty per- sons for confirmation in March.

Text of the Lesson, 1 Sam. xvi, 4-13. Memory Veres, 12, 13—Golden Text, 1 Sam. xvi, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. It is certainly restful to be in the hands of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will (Eph. i, 11) and who says, "I will work, and who shall let it" (hinder, or turn back) (Isa. xiii, 13), provided we have no will of our own in the matter. Even Samuel seems not to have been fully one with the Lord concerning Saul, for he continued to mourn for him after the Lord had rejected him, so that the Lord had to say to him, "How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel?" When we can say, "Even so, Father," "Just and true are thy ways," because we are certain that "As for God, His way is perfect" (Matt. xi, 26; Rev. xv, 3; Ps. vill, 30), we have entered upon a restful life. Then its continuance depends upon our living in the perfect will of God moment by moment. Note the messages to Samuel in verses 1-3: "I will send thee to Jesse. I have provided me a king. I will show thee what thou shalt do. Anoint unto Me him whom I name unto thee." This left nothing for Samuel but simple obedience to Him who was managing. But Samuel had an objection, "If Saul quieted him, and matters proceeded, and Samuel did that which the Lord spake and came to Bethlehem to meet Jesse and his sons (verses 4, 5). The elders of the town seemed to regard Samuel almost as God Himself or they must have had very guilty consciences, for they trembled at his coming until assured that he came peaceably. Those who are walking with God need have no fear of a visit from a man of God nor of the coming of the Lord Himself, for it is possible so to abide that we shall not be ashamed before Him at His coming (1 John ii. 28). Having called Jesse and his sons, Samuel thought that he saw in Ellab a fit successor to Saul, but the Lord told him not to look on his outward appearance (verses 6, 7). When we consider Ellab's contemptuous and uncalled for treatment of David a little later (xvii. 28) we do not wonder that the Lord refused him, for He knew what was in man (John ii. 25). Seven of Jesse's sons passed before Samuel, all who had come to meet him, but the Lord's choice was not among them, so that Samuel had to ask, "Are here all thy children?" Then he learned that the youngest had been left at home to keep the sheep, and Samuel said, "Send and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither" (verses 8-11). I am interested to know how David felt that day when left at home and all the other brothers went to meet Samuel, for, knowing what we do of David, we can easily imagine that he would be more desirous to meet Samuel than any of his brothers would, even though there might be nothing especially for him in it. Some day in the kingdom we may talk with him about that particular day. I never read or write this story or think about it that I do not rejoice to see the Lord's way in it. The young man left at home because he was seemingly of no account on this great occasion, and then all the older brothers set aside and compelled to wait till he came, and then to see Samuel take the horn of oil and anoint him in the midst of his brethren. I think I can hear Eilab say to some of his brothers as they went homeward. "The old prophet must be in his dotage." There is nothing to it, for they did not hear the Lord say to Samuel, "Arise, anoint him, for this is he" (verses 12, 13). The comfort I get from it is that the Lord looketh on the heart, not on the outward appearance, and when he wants you for any work He will find you and get you there in spite of all obstacles. It is ours to keep quietly on minding our sheep, like David or Moses; thrashing our wheat, like Glideon; plowing, like Eilisha; doing housework, like Mpry of Nazareth; mending nets, like Peter and John, or whatever else is our regular occupation. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Davd, but departed from Saul because of Saul's failure to obey (13, 14). God allows us to choose, and if we choose the evil and not the good we have no one to blame but ourselves. By the advice of Saul's servants he sought some one to quiet him when the evil spirit was upon him, and they recommended David, the son of Jesse, as a cunning player on the harp, a valiant man of war, a prudent man, a comely man, and they also said that the Lord was with him (verses 15-23). Being sent for, Saul loved him greatly and made him his armor bearer. How strange it all seems! God moves in a mysterious way. What a wonderful chapter! How can we refrain from saying, "Lord, take control of me and all my affairs and work out in and through me all thy good pleasure." It would seem that Jesse was an old man at this time, and his family consisted of eight sons and two daughters (xvil. 12; I Chron. ii. 16), but David's mother's name is not given. The whole story is an illustration of the truth of Eph. ii. 10, that God has the life' and service of His redeemed all planned beforehand and will work it out if we will let Him. Sep Jer. 1. 4-9.

He has been a painstaking teacher, "horoughly in sympathy with his students and thoroughly in love with his work. He is a conscientious student, and, like a great many young Africans who go to Europe or America for study, he does not believe in being a "tailender." Aggrey's motto is "Be thorough," and he impresses this upon all his students at Livingstone. Last summer he took the course in economics at Columbia college and did his work so thoroughly that he led his class in sociology, discovering a knowledge of that study for which the professor and his classmates were not quite prepared to accept, many of the latter being men and women of southern birth. Mr. Aggrey's deportment during the term was such as to win him the confidence and respect of his professors and classmates. At the close of the term he wrote in Latin (another surprise) a poem, which he dedicated to his professors and classmates, which appeared in the college journal and called for many favorable comments from those who saw it. Mr. Aggrey was born on the Gold Coast of Africa and is identified with the ruling families on the coast. At home his rank would be that of a prince. He is well and favorably known in England, is a member of the Hellenic society, London; the Roman society, London; the Royal Society of Arts, and is a corresponding member of the Negro Society For Historical Research, Yonkers, N. Y. He is also a regularly ordained clergyman of the A. M. E. Zion church, a fluent, able expounder of the gospel, possessing an attractive and pleasing style in which earnestness and logic and clearness of statement abound. As a lecturer on his favorite topic, "Economics," he is brilliant and enthusiastic. On racial questions, particularly as they concern his beloved Africa, he is a walking encyclopedia. He is intensely racial, and it is always a pleasure to talk with a man who is as proud of his black skin as he is, and of the glorious record of those mighty sons of Ethiopia, who named the stars and gave to modern civilization what it knows of art, science, religion, navigation, etc. Mr. Aggrey in addition to being professor of English literature in Livingstone college, is also an associate editor of the Industrial Messenger. This paper is published fortnightly during the school term and monthly during vacation, in the interest of the industrial department of Livingstone college. It is an ably edited, five column folio. Professor Aggrey is yet a young man, but he is destined in the coming years to fill a large space in the public eye. Being a fine speaker, his services will be in demand during the vacation season. But he is so modest one would never know from him what he is capable of doing. We are glad to introduce this brilliant young African scholar and gentleman to the public. He is a Christian gentleman "sans peur et sans reproche." MANNING SPEAKS HIS MIND Former Alabama Legislator Tella North Conditions So Are Bad. The Hon. Joseph C. Manning, formerly a member of the Alabama legislature, in an address before the Economy club of Cambridge, Mass., the latter part of February spoke on the "Political and Economic Conditions" in the south as of interest to the whole nation. He referred to the south as being submerged and said, "If the people of Massachusetts knew the actual political conditions existing in the south today they would be amazed." He alleged that the leaders of the Democratic party in the south manipulate the elections to please themselves and that it is impossible to pass a bill in the Alabama legislature today to make a law prohibiting the illegal control of the votes and that the ruling party in the south perpetrates power by brazen fraud. In the south there are as many disfranchised whites as there are blacks, all through the power of the leading Democrats, who control things to suit their own interests. "There is no such thing as popular government down there," he said, "and there never will be unless the national legislature takes up the matter. The so called Negro question is used merely as a subversion of constitutional government. The solid Democratic south is in the saddle today, and the northern Democrat is just as badly off at Washington as the Republican. "There is an oligarchic system of repression in educational, political and industrial circles as marked today as before the civil war. The 'crop mortgage' system serves to keep the mass of people in industrial serfdom. In Alabama there are 300,000 white men and 200,000 Negroes who should have the vote. Only 8,000 Negroes are allowed to vote, and the state is dominated by 60,000 white votes. The disfranchisement law of 1901 was not passed wholly to prevent the Negro from voting, but also to enable the political oligarchy to maintain its hold on the reins of government." J. A. Lightfoot to Publish Magazine. James A. Lightfoot, formerly editor of the Advocate at Atlantic City. N. J., will soon begin the publication of a high class thirty-two page monthly magazine, with a staff of experienced writers. The first issue of the magazine is announced to appear in April. BIG SOCIAL EVENT IN WASHINGTON R. H. Rutherford Weds Miss Adelaide Elwood Cardozo. OFF ON HAPPY HONEYMOON. Charming Baltimore Girl Becomes Wife of Successful Young Business Man. Marriage Ceremony Performed by Dr. F. J. Grimke—Only Relatives and Groom's Business Officials Present. By R. W. THOMPSON. Washington, March 10. The marriage today at 3:30 p. m. of Robert H. Rutherford of this city and Miss Adelaide Elwood Cardozo of Baltimore was a social event of nation wide significance. Mr. Rutherford is the son of S. W. Rutherford and, though young, has become one of the leading business men of the country, being vice president, member of the board of directors and of the executive committee of the National Benefit association. said to be the wealthiest insurance corporation controlled by colored people in the land. Mrs. Rutherford is a graduate of the Baltimore high school. a lady of charming personality and has been a reigning belle in the younger social set of the Monumental City. The happy function took place at the handsome home of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott B. Madden, 1733 Thirteenth street, northwest, and Rev. F. J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian church, pronounced the stately Episcopal service, during which Miss Eslander Cardozo, sister of the bride, played softly the inspiring strains of "Bridal Roses." The bride was given away by her brother, Dr. F. J. Cardozo of Baltimore. Rev. Charles Y. Trigg, pastor of the Warren M. E. church of Pittsburgh, acted as "best man." Miss Cardozo presented a dainty picture tastefully attired in an elegant traveling suit of sand (the latest color in dress material) manila cloth, a sand colored Milan straw hat trimmed with roses and ribbon. The veil and gloves were in harmony with the prevailing tint of sand, and the shoes, black laced, had sand colored tops. She carried a massive bouquet of illies of the valley, with white rosebuds, and mid-enhair fern. The groom and the gentlemen participating wore the "conventional black." The decorations in the spacious double parlor were lavish throughout, admirably set on by a bay window banked with ferns, palms and cut flowers. The ceremony was witnessed only by relatives of the contracting parties and a group of officers of the National Benefit association. Following the plighting of the vows a toothsome collation was served by an expert caterer, after which Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford were whisked away in an auto to the Union station to begin a lengthy honeymoon tour, which will include a visit to the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco, with many stops en route to the coast and returning. The first "leg" of the journey will be over the southern swing of railroad travel, with a first stop at Atlanta, Ga., the natal city of the groom, where a visit will be paid Mr. Rutherford's sister, Mrs. J. B. Watson. The itinerary calls for brief stops at Birmingham, New Orleans, San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Diego (where an exposition is also in progress) and then San Francisco for the international display, reaching there March 30. Returning, they will touch Salt Lake City, Colorado Springs, Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Davenport and Chicago, finally reaching Washington April 11, after which date they will be "at home" to their friends at their newly built and altogether superb residence at 1241 Twelfth street northwest. This home, conservatively estimated to be worth $7,500, is conceded to be one of the most finely appointed houses owned by colored persons in the District. It is the "last word" in household architecture—a "dream" in stone, brick and wood—with every conceivable modern improvement. The building is of tapestry brick, stone trimming, and the interior is finished in oak, with mahogany doors. The color scheme in paper is artistic, and the lighting fixtures, with the indirect illumination, offer restfulness with brilliance. The entire place takes on the aspect of a fairy bower, every room having its distinctive feature of interest. The furnishings are in keeping with the architecture. The parlor pieces are of mahogany, and this expensive wood prevails in the dining room, sewing room and elsewhere. The library, well stocked with the productions of the best Negro authors, is furnished in fumed oak throughout. A guest chamber in white, a tiled bath, modern kitchen and pantry, light and airy cellar, with a refrigerating plant, an elaborate heating plant (hot water system) and stationary washtubs, together with roomy porches at rear of both floors, complete the delightful outfit. Appropriate pictures adorn the walls, and in the reception ball is a majestic mahogany "grandfather's clock" to tick away the happy hours. The function being private, no invitations issued, the presents at this time are few, but rich. The groom's gift to his bride was a costly lavishiere of special design, with pearls and diamonds, set in green gold leaf. A ma- hogany upright piano, costing $540, was presented to the happy pair by Mr. S. W. Rutherford, father of the groom, and secretary and general manager of the National Benefit association, whose business acumen is shown in the fact that in a few years he has developed from nothing a corporation now owning $185,000 worth of gilt edged bonds and real estate that will bring the total holdings up to nearly $250,000 and operating in eight of the principal states of the Union. It is worthy of note that the groom, Mr. R. H. Rutherford, has risen to prominence and official distinction in this unique organization, which his decided genius for constructive work has helped to build. In addition to his responsibilities enumerated above, he is the general publicity manager and chief traveling representative. He is an authority on insurance and has contributed informing articles on insurance and kindred subjects to a number of the leading insurance and financial journals of the country. For the most part he is author of the literature sent broadcast by the N. B. A. and which has evoked the warmest praise at the hands of both races. In education young Mr. Rutherford is a product of the schools of Lynchburg, Va.; of the Morehouse (formerly Atlanta Baptist) college at Atlanta, his birthplace, and of Howard university, this city, of which he is an honor graduate. Before he was out of his teens he had written over 1,000 policies for the organization that now hails him as a chieftain. His latest feat is the successful "invasion" of Kentucky, where the N. B. A. under his skillful leadership won out after a vigorous fight and is now entitled to do business. He has established three offices in the state—at Louisville, Frankfort and Lexington—and the company is on a firm basis already. Winsome Mrs. Rutherford is a worthy helpmeet to this remarkable young man. She is a graduate of the schools of Baltimore and is accomplished in music, besides having a thorough knowledge of the domestic arts and sciences that count for so much in a well ordered home. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford join in wishing them bon voyage on their transcontinental honeymoon journey and a long and happy life in "the world that to them a rose garden is." After April 11 their doorbell at 1241 Twelfth street will ring often, and all will be welcomed with true Rutherford hospitality. MAY BUILD SANITARIUM. Organization Society of Virginia Makes an Important Announcement. Richmond, Va.—"If land will be bought by the colored people the buildings will be constructed by white friends. Very probably the state legislature will provide means for the maintenance of the sanitarium for consumptives. This land will cost not less than $3,000. Let us raise the amount." This announcement and challenge to the colored citizens of the Old Dominion are made by Major Robert R. Moton, John M. Gandy and James T. Phillips, all acting on behalf of the Negro Organization society of this state. On Sunday, March 21, the ministers of our churches in Virginia are asked by the Negro Organization society to preach a health sermon. They are further requested to take up a collection for the purchase of the farm on which the sanitarium for colored consumptives may be located. Saturday, March 27, will be "tag day" throughout Virginia. Then all good people may show their interest in caring for the needy consumptives. Miss Agnes D. Randolph, a southern white lady of Richmond, who is the executive secretary of the Anti-tuberculosis association, will help to organize this campaign for a sanitarium. Miss Randolph is a good friend to the colored people, and her efforts are heartily indorsed by the best white citizens in this section of the state. NEW MUTUAL BENEFIT CLUB. Object of Federal Employees' Organization Recently Started In New York The Phalanx club is the name of a new organization composed of employees of the federal service, with headquarters in New York city. It is nonsectarian and nonpolitical in character. Its objects are to assist its members to attain greater efficiency in their several positions, to aid them in sickness and to provide for the families of deceased members. The club now numbers nearly 100 members. When incorporated it will lease or purchase a house in Harlem, where every facility for the mental improvement of its members will be provided as well as for their social comfort. Great Interest in Foreign Missions. Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the Baptist Foreign Mission board, says that enthusiasm in the nineteenth annual missionary rally among Baptists Sunday schools, which occurs on Easter Sunday, April 4, was never greater than now. Programs are being sent free to every Sunday school which will observe the day and report a contribution to the board for foreign missions. To add to the interest a friend has consented to give two round trip tickets from any part of the country to the thirty-third session of the National Baptist convention, to be held in Chicago next September. The two schools which raise the highest amount over $5, and reporting the same to the foreign mission board, may vote the ticket to whom they wish if no members can attend the convention.
