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 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 79 President Wilson Appoints Indian to Negro's Job. Washington, March.—President Wilson has nominated Houston B. Teehee of Tahlevuah, Okla., to be register of the treasury to succeed Gabe Parker, who recently became commissioner of the five civilized tribes of that state. Teehee is a Cherokee Indian, and now is attorney for that tribe in Oklahoma. He formerly was a member of the lower house of the Oklahoma legislature. Colored Man Loses Suit On Grave. The United States Supreme Court recently dismissed for want of jurisdiction the suit of John B. Gaskill of Chicago to compel the Forest Home cemetery of that city to permit his wife's body to be buried there. He claimed a cemetery was a public institution, and that denial of burial privileges to his wife constituted an unlawful discrimination against the colored Race. The case was on appeal from the Supreme Court of Illinois. The case originated years ago and has become historic. Auburn, N. Y.-Virginia Kennedy, a colored woman from Rensselaer county, serving a term of from one to three years for grand larceny, gave birth to twin boys in Auburn prison yesterday. The Kennedy woman was received in the prison on Sept. 21, 1914. A State law provides that infants born in a penal institution must be supported by the State for two years. Pres. Wilson Removes Negro Collectorship in New York. Chas. W. Anderson, who was appointed as Collector of Internal Revenue for one of the districts in New York City by former President Theodore Roosevelt, and who was retained in his same position by former President William H. Taft, and honorably served its citizens in the same capacity for two years under the Wilson administration, was last week removed from office by President Wilson. Mr. Anderson played in great luck to hold his job for so long, while there were so many hungry White Democrats and Republicans who were constantly hitting the trail for it. New York.—Recent performances of colored athletes in the metropolitan district of the Amateur Athletic union have attracted wide-spread attention, and should a corresponding progress be made by them in the next three or four years many laurels now worn by white athletes will pass into the keeping of Negroes, says the New York Times. STILL WATCHING, WAITING AND FAILING. The Cincinnati Enquirer (dem) under this headline prints a leading editorial on the Mexican situation which follows: "Having intervened in Mexico so as to compel the abdication of Huerta, so as to overthrow the Government recognized by the Congress and the Supreme Court of Mexico; having raised the embargo upon arms and ammunition so that the bandit bands might organize armies to contend for the supremacy of their respective factions; having witnessed the ruin of American, British, French, Spanish and other foreign interests in Mexico, the Administration continues to congratulate itself upon the success of its Mexican policy. "Senator Fall, of New Mexico, in a recent address in the U. S. Senate, made public some plain truths as to the Mexican situation and the responsibility of this Administration for the horrible conditions now prevailing in every state and territory of that most unfortunate country. "The majority of thinking men and women agree that religion of any kind exerts a more beneficial influence upon mankind than no religion; the majority are also of the opinion that any form of government is better in its influence upon the destinies of a people than chaotic conditions, productive of crime of all grades, the demoralizing effects of which render men monsters and turn masses of people into the walks nd ways of barbarism. "The present Administration of the United States, however, struck down recognized authority in Mexico, and by that act of authorized and organized chaos, authorized and organized criminals to rule the country, authorized and organized the ruin of all foreign interests there, authorized and organized the factions it permitted to arm, to burn, to ravage and to destroy. "Two years of that boasted watching and waiting policy have ruined the people of Mexico, humiliated and shamed the people of the United States and demonstrated to the world the weakness, folly and incapacity of those charged with the responsibilities of our foreign relations." May Appoint Colored Police Los Angeles, Cal.-The Police Commission has requested the City Council to enact legislation to appoint a colored policewoman for the city. It is pointed out that the colored population needs the service of a woman of the Race. A LESSON TO BE STUDIED. Twins Born in Prison. Progress in Athletics. The environments by which we are surrounded ought to make of us the same sterling, stalwart character in the National life that the Southern white man is. We have the ability, we have the character, we have the possibility and the capacity; the only thing we lack is sectional loyalty. We should exercise the same loyalty to our section that the Northern Negro exercises to his section. If the Negro ever means to amount to anything in this country it will be by reason of the worth of the Southern Negro in the national life. The brain the wealth and the character of the race are in the South. Ninety per cent of us are here, and whatever he amounts to in character, in respectability and in wealth will be measured by the achievements of the Southern Negro. The Northern Negro with his artificial and superficial ideas cannot rise any higher in the national life and be held any higher in the national regard than the masses of his race are held in the South. Therefore he should join the Southern brother in helping him up! He should use his ballot and whatever influence he may have in the community in which he lives with a view of lifting up the Southern Negro, for the reason that as the Southern Negro is substantially lifted so will he be lifted up. In spite of the short comings of Bishop Joseph Simeon Flipper, the Independent has an unchallenged and uncompromising respect for him because of his loyalty to his section, loyalty to his state and loyalty to his home. With Bishop Flipper the Southern Negro is first, Southern interests are first, everything being equal; and until we follow his leadership, whether it is in church, whether it is in society, or whether it is in state, we are not going to amount to what we should. Why should ten thousand Negroes in the North representing in fraternal wealth less than $10,000 dominate control and gobble up all the emoluments of society in preference to 350,000 fraternal men representing a million in fraternal wealth? Such a condition ought not to obtain and the only reason it does obtain is because the Southern Negro is disloyal to his section, disloyal to his leaders, disloyal to his race and fundamentally wanting in that race pride and appreciation that is necessary to the building up of a substantial and uncompromising manhood. Let us take our Southern white neighbors as an example and fight for the triumph of Southern ideas, Southern supremacy and Southern manhood and womanhood.—Atlanta Independent. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1915 MRS. JOHN M. LANGSTON PASSES AWAY. Loyal To Their Idols. Loyal To Their Idols. SOUTH UPHOLDS SOUTH. Mrs. Caroline Wall Langston, the widow of the late John M. Langston, of Washington D. C., died suddenly at 12:30 p. m., Tuesday of last week. Her death was entirely unexpected and a great shock to the community. She was apparently in good health when she passed away. The Southern white man is the yardstick by which American character is measured. It matters not what the standard has been or what the ideals and traditions of the section have been, the drif for the last fifty years has been towards the Southern idea, the Southern ideal and Southern character. The Southern white man is the most distinctive, as well as individual, character in our national life. It matters not in what section of the country he settles, he never surrenders his views. He does not yield to his environments, but his environments disappear or absolve from the presence of his sturdy, permanent and positive character. It matters not whether his environments are social, industrial or political, he is the tall sycamore before which every other individual in the community bows. He does not shape his views to suit the passing breeze, but compels the breeze to fly his sails according to his notions and ideas of current questions. It only sharpens and doubles his ambition and determination to succeed. Mrs. Langton's maiden name was Caroline Wall. She was born in North Carolina and was taken to Ohio when a mere child. There she was reared by Quakers and educated in the schools of that state. She attended Oberlin College, where she met John M. Langston, whom she married later. At the close of the civil war the Langstons came to Washington, where they made their home and reared their family. Of their union were born Arthur Langston, who graduated from Oberlin College, the alma mater of his father, and who became the principal of one of the largest schools in St. Louis. He died a few years ago. Her other children were Mrs. Nettie Napier, the wife of the Hon. James C. Napier, Ralph Langston of New York, and Frank Langston of this city, all of whom survive her. Fifty years ago in politics, he was hopelessly in the minority. In the national equation he was absolutely without power or even the hope of ultimate victory; but today he is triumphant: he is in control and the national life has put on his prejudices, his way of thinking and is the creature of the Southern white man's wish. No section of the country has been able to change his views on the race problem, but he has about succeeded in bringing the entire nation to his way of thinking about the Negro problem. Once upon a time every section of our common country, except the South, stood up for the Negro's manhood rights; the call was spontaneous from every section of the country for a free ballot and a fair count; for equal industrial and economic opportunities for all men. But this sentiment is disappearing before the triumphant march of democracy under the leadership of this Southern character. If American people have any distinctiveness which distinguishes them from people of other countries, if they have any real individualism, any character that stands alone and distinguishes them from the character that individualizes other nations, it is the Southern white man, it is his nation and the American civilization as he has shaped it, by reason of the integrity of his racial identity. Eli Williamson, of Washington D. C., 90 years old, a retired pilot, died last week. just to the contrary. Every race in this country has yielded to the prowess and leadership of the Southern white man except the Negro. The Jew acknowledges that he is master; the German, the Chinese and, in fact, the Yankee, wherever he has come in contact with him, has yielded him the leadership and submitted to his views, and we had as well, whether we think it fair or not, submit to the inevitable, to the superior forces that will overwhelm us. For the next hundred years this country will be run as the Southern white man wills it. His section is richest in natural resources, more blessed of the country in which most largely the wealth of the nation will be produced, and these natural advantages, added to the sterling worth and character of the men and women who are shaping the destinies of the people, will continue to make the Southern white man the standard of American character and achievement. There is much more to commend and praise in the Southern white man than to condemn. We admire him for his prowess, for his postiveness, and for his individuality. He stands upon his own bottom; he grants no quarter and he asks no favor; he fights his way from the bottom to the top and no defeat is too great or disastrous for him not to turn into a victory. What the Negro wants to do is to imitate and emulate him to build up a strudy Negro character that dominates, towers and impresses itself in every section of the country. Develop a racial integrity, industry, push, thrift and progress that challenges every other section and every other people who constitute a part of our common country. Make the Southern white man our criterion. Let us measure our achievements by the standard he has set. We can be just as useful, just as helpful and be felt just as effective in both the community and national life as he is felt. Let the Southern Negro impress the Negroes, in every other section of the sterling worth of his character as the Southern white man has impressed every white man and black man in every section of the country. The Southern white man and his womanhood is the standard of excellence to which all Americans should aspire. And in the same way the Southern Negro man and womanhood can be and ought to be the standard of excellence for the race in every section of our common country. The Northern Negro is largely superficial and artificial. He would rather seem than to be, and the Southern Negro is FIVE CENTS A COPY. Dr. Charles P. Jones, Jackson, Miss., The Southland's Leading Evangelist, Conducting Meetings at Zion. Dr. Charles P. Jones, for more than twenty years located at Jackson, Miss., is in the city conducting a series of revival meetings at Zion church. Dr. Jones, who is a prince of preachers, is also a hymnologist of rare spiritual insight and great power, being the author of several volumes of hymns which have been much used of God in the transformation of the Southland. His contributions are found in many of the best collections of Gospel songs published in this country. Himself a singer, possessed of a rich tenor voice, a magnetic and pleasing personality, deep spiritual insight, a profound religious experience and gifted with a simple and natural eloquence, he is really one of God's great men sent to transform the lives of his fellows. The work which Dr. Jones has conducted during a score of years in Mississippi and vicinity is looked upon by many as a modern marvel and is without question the greatest single force which God has used to turn men and churches and communities to Himself, among our people in that section of the nation. The meetings at Zion are being conducted daily. with a Bible study at 2:30 in the afternoon and preaching service at 8 p. m. The congregation and pastor unite in inviting the public to be present. Church News NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St., David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. The occasion of the sixth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. Over was celebrated last Sunday and Monday night, in a manner worthy of the confidence and esteem in which he is evidently held by the members of the congregation. At the afternoon service on Sunday a number of forceful addresses, commending the pastor and his work, were delivered to an appreciative audience. Dr. Palmer, superintendent of Missions for Colorado; Rev. R. L. Pope, pastor of Shorter, and Dr. Charles P. Jones, each brought a message calculated to unify and stimulate the activities of our people for many days to come. The reception Monday night was the most delightful function of its nature held in Zion during Rev. Over's pastorate. A pleasing program of music and addresses, participated in by Dr McClain, Rev. James Washington and Brother Wallace, was followed by a social period in the parlors of the church, which was as pleasant to the many friends as inspiring and helpful to the pastor and Mrs. Over. The Teacher Training Class presented the pastor with a morocco bound traveling companion and the ladies of the church gave a purse of $25.00. The anniversary sermon of Dr Jones on Sunday morning was a masterpiece of eloquence and matchless delivery. The Holy Spirit bore powerful witness and the congregation witnessed an outpouring which lifted it to higher levels. The pastor desires that expressions of his deepest gratitude be conveyed to all the friends who in any way contributed to these activities which were so successfully planned and carried out to the honor of his ministry, and desires also to say that such marked appreciation of his services can but place him under a deeper sense of obligation to Zion and the community. The meetings of Dr. Jones will be continued nightly for several weeks. A Bible study will be held daily at 2:30 p. m. Every Christian is invited to take active part and every unconverted person is doubly welcome. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Corner Twenty-fourth and California Streets. Rev. P. J.

The church social last Tuesday evening was largely attended and the presence of a large number of new members and visitors, as well as the cordial fellowship extended richly repaid the venture. The Ushers' Club was much in evidence on this occasion. The crowd was handled with ease and the luncheon was served in a most attractive way. All praise to Mr. W. A. Johnson and his fine club. The birthday party with MYRANDY, given by the Mite Society Thursday evening of last week, was quite a success, despite the stormy evening. MYRANDY on Religion and Woman's Rights carried the audience by storm. The ladies realized about $50.00 from the proceeds. Good for Mrs. L. M. Froman of the Executive Committee, and Mrs. King, the President, and the society as a whole. Our Easter music this season will surpass all previous records. Yes, it will surpass that of last Easter. The cantata, "CROSS AND CROWN" (Wilson) promises to be the greatest musical rendition the public has had an opportunity to witness at Eastertide. This rendition will occur Easter Sunday evening in Shorter Chapel's auditorium. CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH, CORNER 23RD AND LAWRENCE STS. REV. JAMES WASHINGTON, PASTOR. 2542 BAPAHOE ST.

The officers of the Lincoln-Douglass 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 gled 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. D. S. White has secured $1,000 bonus to insure all who contribute of the faithful 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. 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-Commentary 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. ill, 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. 1. 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. 1, 6, 7; John 37, 47; Rom. 12, 24, and joyfully anticipate I Thess. iv, 16, 17; I John iii, 1, 2; Col. iii, 4. His enemies made His tomb as sure as they could by a seal and a guard of soldiers (Matt. xxvil, 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 appearances 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. xxii, 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. 1, 14. Note the "Fear not" of the angel (verse 5; Luke 11, 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, 11; 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 xvi, 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 stays by us to provide all things (verses 16-20). How a Brooklyn Policeman Blundered. Magistrate Voorhees of the Gates avenue court in Brooklyn in discharging Samuel Woodyard, whom a policeman had arrested because he was carrying a bundle in the street after midnight recently, said in reply to the statement of the policeman who arrested Woodyard that it was a rule in the police department to arrest any person on suspicion who carried large packages in the streets at late hours in the night: "It may be a police department restriction, but there is no law to uphold it. The prisoner is discharged." Mr. Woodyard had his carpenter tools, it is said, in a bag, and the policeman arrested him because Woodyard would not tell what the bag contained. Mr. Woodyard is said to be a hardworking, respectable colored citizen and lives in the downtown section in Brooklyn. Thus even in Greater New York if a person is colored he does not have to commit a crime to be arrested. FINDS OLD IRON IMPLEMENT. The Eckley B. Coxe Expedition Makes Important Discovery. The Eckley B. Coxe expedition of the University of Pennsylvania museum has recently found what is thought to be the oldest iron implement in the world. It was found in a tomb belonging to the twelfth Egyptian dynasty, which is generally believed by archaeologists to have been about 3400 B. C., or about 5,300 years ago.

THE NEW WAV 50 65 SINCE 1965 HAMILTON DISAPPROVES OF "CLANSMAN"PLAY National Board of Censorship Takes Quick Action. BIG VICTORY FCR OUR RACE National Association For the Advancement of Colored People Administrators Severe Blow to Production of Film Show Called "Birth of the Nation," Based on Dixon's Book. New York.-The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People has scored a real triumph in this city in succeeding in getting the national board of censorship to reverse its approval of the moving picture film called "The Birth of a Nation," which is based on Thomas Dixon's "Clansman." As soon as advised of the action of the board of censorship, at the suggestion of Paul Kennday, a member of the board of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, officers of the association got in touch with the police commissioner through Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, who has been advised by the commissioner that the entire matter has been placed in the hands of Chief Magistrate McAdoo, and the owners of the film have been warned not to produce it. It had been extensively advertised for production beginning on the night of March 3 in the Liberty theater. Forty-second street, west of Broadway. One hundred thousand dollars has been invested in it. Its owners are Messrs. Alitken and Griffith. The latter is reported to be a Virginian. An advance performance of the production was given in Washington, and it is said that Chief Justice White and President Wilson were present. The reversal of the decision of the board of censorship to approve the film will probably prevent its production in about 80 per cent of the theaters of this country, since many cities have ordinances prohibiting the production of moving pictures when not approved by the national board of censorship, and even when there are not such prohibitive ordinances many theaters will not produce films unless they have the approval of the censorship board. The National association had a very difficult task to perform in suppressing this film since it had already been approved by the censorship board when the association first heard of it through its Los Angeles branch, where it is alleged a duplicate film had been released and produced in spite of the protest of the branch. The reason given by the police department and the city council for refusing to interfere was that the film had been approved by the national board of censorship. When the national association first made its appeal to the national board of censorship there seemed to be little prospect of getting an unfavorable decision on this film in the limited time left before its advertised public production. The association communicated with every member of the board of censorship, and through the latter's courtesy an advance performance was arranged at the Liberty theater Monday afternoon. March 1. All the members of the board of censorship were present, and a small committee from the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was in the audience. At the close of the performance the board of censorship met and unanimously voted to disapprove the film. In connection with the difficulties that the national association met in having this criticised film censored, it is interesting to note the action taken in Atlanta, Ga., in regard to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which has recently been produced there in moving pictures. To suit the southern community the name of the production had to be changed to "Old Plantation Folks" and all disagreeable scenes cut out, such as the whipping post. Legree is made almost a saint. In justifying this action Mrs. Joseph Morgan of Atlanta, president of the Ploneers, says: "Nobody has any right to come here and stir up sectional prejudice by offering such a play. The play recalls all the things we have been trying to forget." National Sunday School Congress. Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the national Sunday school congress, has been making a tour of several states in the south and southwest, stirring up interest in the next annual meeting of the congress, which is to be held in Birmingham, Ala., from June 9 to 14 inclusive. In Oklahoma City, Okla., and in several cities in Ohio, Indiana and Texas he delivered addresses to 'great throngs of people who are interested in getting information concerning the work of the organization. Concord to Have New Church Edifice. The Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn, of which the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss is the minister, has had plans drawn for the erection in the near future of a new church edifice. The plans as submitted by the architect call for an expenditure of $62,000, not including interior furnishings. The membership of the church is over 1,700, and the church property is free of debt. LAURENCE JONES FOUNDS SCHOOL Institution at Braxton, Miss., Reaches the Masses. HIS CAREER AS A STUDENT. Brief Account of How the Principal of Piney Woods Country Life School Rose From Hotel Porter to Leading Educator—Graduated With Honors at State University, Iowa City. Braxton, Miss.—The history of this state would be incomplete without the record of the work being done in the piney woods of Mississippi by one of the most remarkable young men of the race, Professor Laurence Jones, president and founder of the Piney Woods Country Life school, which is indeed all that the name implies. This school is reaching a class of young people that no other school in this section is reaching and is preparing them for service in any useful field, whether as physician, lawyer, teacher, preacher, farmer, blacksmith, laundress or cook. Unlike most men, Professor Jones claims three states, as he puts it in his own language: "I am a Missourian by birth, an Iowa by education and inclination and by matrimonial affiliation, and a Mississippiian by force of circumstances." He is not an outlaw, yet he was born near the old house of Jesse James, in St. Joseph, Mo. His father was a porter in the Pacific hotel during the flourishing days of its early establishment. The elder Jones was born a slave; yet, like many fathers, determined to give his son an edu M. cation. When young Jones first entered school he was very timid. Everything was new to him and seemingly of little interest. As time passed and he grew older and better acquainted the school began to attract his attention above all things else. His high school days were spent in Marshalltown, Ia. He worked in a hotel there for his room and board. He helped in the dining room morning, noon and evening, and at night sought extra work to earn a little money to keep up books and clothes. He was a general utility boy around the hotel, bellhop, porter, yardman, bootblack and dishwasher. Any man wanting a place or time off had only to call on Laurence, and his place was filled. He was one of the few boys of the race who had the pleasure of editing the High school journal, the Quill, and also wrote the class song. He was the only member of the race in the class and the first one to graduate from the Marshalltown high school. So when he walked across the floor to receive his diploma he was given an ovation. Thus in his heart he declared that he must make good because everybody was watching him. He was active in the Y. M. C. A. and Sunday school. With some of his earnings he became a member of the "Y." Step by step he made progress. In the fall he secured a letter of introduction and recommendation from the principal of the high school, Mr. M. Graff to Mr. McChesney, president of the State university of Iowa, and with other necessary papers signed by County Superintendent Miss Hostetler, and with encouragement from Mrs. Richard Lane, he entered State university, Iowa City. He was received as a freshman, and remained through the entire course, graduating with honors. In his work he is assisted by his wife, who is an expert stenographer and who takes charge of the work when he is away getting up money to run the school and to make the necessary improvements. The Farmers' conference is one of the features for good. Clubs and literary societies are formed around the school and good work is being accomplished. The white people of Mississippi find pleasure in assisting the Piney Woods Country Life school, because Laurence Jones is a man of common sense, well educated and a recognised leader among the best educators in his line.

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

Former Alabama Legislator Tells South Carolina South Age Bad North Conditions South 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. MME. C. J. WALKER. BELGIAN CONGO NATIVES. Their Habits and Customs Vividly Described by Dr. W. H. Shenwood 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, 1890, the son of Judge Lapsley, a young white man of Alabama, and Dr. Sheppard made their way into the Kongo region and after many difficulties reached the Kassat river, known to the natives as the "river of splits" 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. He learned the language. He continued his 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 his foot, would go up and spit in the place and go back home. If a man is accused of stealing he is forced to put one hand in boiling water three times. If the hand is not scaled 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, in the minds of the natives, was guilty. The day of the witch doctor is passing in Central Africa. The natives are learning that Christian doctors hold the witch doctors. Christianity is taking possession of the hearts of the natives. These African curiosity 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 Sumner 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.

WALTON MAKING BUSINESS HUM Former Newspaper Man Succeeds In New Field. KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS Manager of Popular New York Playhouse Is From Missouri and Demonstrates Unusual Capacity In Solving Knotty Problems—Brilliant Dramatic Writer and Man of Broad Vision. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—For a number of years the race has boasted of comedians, singers and dancers of ability, but few colored men have won a reputation for possessing what is known in the theatrical world as "business brains." While we have had many stars on the stage, we have not had many box office stars—those with business brains who make salaries possible. Lester A. Walton, for many years managing and dramatic editor of the New York Age, is attracting attention both in white and colored theatrical circles as a "box office star." Mr. Walton's latest and most successful accomplishment as a manager was in taking over the Lafayette theater, in this city, with C. W. Morganstern and making it a paying venture, although other managers, colored and white, failed dismally in their efforts to make the theater pay. Some lost hundreds of dollars, and all of them gave up the Lafayette theater, declaring that it was impossible to make the house a winner. In May, 1914, Mr. Walton and his partner became lessees of the Lafayette 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 DURAND too steep. In the face of all the discouraging talk Lester A. Walton declared 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 to work to accomplish that end. All the help employed at the Lafayette theater by Mr. Walton is colored from the front of the house to the back of the stage, and the theater has come to the financial rescue of many a colored performer out of work and unable to get booking at white theaters. During the three weeks' engagement of J. Leubrie Hill's Darktown Follies at the Lafayette theater in February of this year, under the personal direction of Mr. Walton, nearly $2,000 was paid weekly to performers, house help and extra help, all colored. While Mr. Walton is doing all in his power to provide salaries for members of the race he is also trying to solve the race problem by showing the absurdity of the claims of radical white people that the two races cannot sit side by side in the same places of public accommodation without friction. 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 is usually given at the Lafayette theater when vandeville is in vogue, there being an equal number of white and colored acts. The white acts do not hesitate to play at the Lafayette theater and never object to being paid their salary by a colored manager. Lester A. Walton is in his early thirties and is a native of St. Louis, being a product of the public schools of his home city. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin A. Walton, both of whom are living. For six years he was a reporter on the local daily papers of St. Louis, where he made a reputation as a court reporter. He came to New York about eight years ago, and after serving as business manager for the late Ernest Hogan for one season he returned to the newspaper business, becoming dramatic and sporting editor of the New York Age. He was later made managing editor of the Age, filling his various positions with great credit. Mr. Walton took unto himself a wife in the person of Miss Gladys Moore, the charming daughter of Fred R. Moore, publisher of the New York Age, and the young couple have been blessed with two fine children.

Harris, director of the census, department of commerce, contains for the first time a statement regarding mortality among Negroes. All previous census publications have given statistics for the total colored population, in which were included the Chinese, Japanese, Indians and other non-whites. The data are shown for the registration area of the United States, the registration states and certain selected cities—fifty-seven in all. The Negro population of the area was 19.7 per cent of the total number of Negroes in the United States in 1910, and the deaths numbered 49,490, with a death rate of 25.5 per 1,000 population, a decrease as compared with the rate in 1900, which was 29.4. The selected cities shown are the fifty-seven registration cities which had, in 1910, a Negro population of 2,500 or more, for which comparable data are available in 1900. In the fifty-seven cities included in the table the death rate among Negroes in 1910 was 27.8 and that among whites 15.9 per 1,000, the rate among the Negroes being nearly twice as great as that for the whites. In the thirty-three northern cities the death rate among Negroes was 25.1 and that among whites 15.7 per 1,000, while in twenty-four southern cities the rate for Negroes was 29.6 and that for whites 16.9. Thus the death rates for each race were higher in the southern than in the northern cities, the difference between the races in respect to death rate also being greater in the south. Both Negroes and whites show decreases in death rate in 1910 as compared with 1900, when the fifty-seven cities are considered in the aggregate, the decline for the Negroes being 3.4 and for whites 2.5 per 1,000 population. Every city in the south, except Key West, Fla., and Memphis, Tennessee, showed a lower death rate for Negroes in 1910 than in 1900. The increase in Key West was only 0.2, while in Memphis it was 3.9 per 1,000. The general tendency appears to be in the direction of a declining death rate for Negroes in registration cities, the decrease being somewhat greater for Negroes than for whites. As a result the difference between the death rate for Negroes and for whites in these cities was not as great in 1910 as a decade earlier. The table presents the distribution of the Negro and white deaths for 1910 by cause of death for the registration area and also for sixty-nine of the seventy selected cities in the area, the data for Springfield, Ill., not being available. The table shows that deaths among Negroes, as compared with the whites, are relatively more numerous for malaria, tuberculosis of the lungs, other forms of tuberculosis, pneumonia and whooping cough, while for measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, cancer, appendicitis, diarrhea and violent deaths (including suicide) the distribution is noticeably higher among whites. In other causes the differences in the percentages are slight. The question as to whether the decrease in mortality among Negroes in 1910 as compared with 1900 was due to permanent causes, such as improved housing conditions, better medical attention and in improved sanitary conditions and not to the absence of epidemics, is an important and interesting one. Undoubtedly one of the factors which has caused the decrease in the death rate, which decrease is almost universal in the cities of the south, is the increase in home ownership among the Negro population. The ownership of homes data for the northern states and cities is not available, and what is presented relates only to the south. In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the number of homes owned by Negroes in the southern states increased by 102,912, or 31.4 per cent, this increase covering increase in farm homes of 30,449, or 16.7 per cent, and in other homes of 72,463, or 49.8 per cent. The table presents the number of owned homes in 1910, the increase during the decade, 1900 to 1910, and also the number of Negro inhabitants to one owned home for each of the southern states. Fine Chance to Get Out on the Land. The stockholders of the Kaw Valley Truck Farm company at its annual meeting, which was recently held showed many good results. The company owns 105 acres of land near Kansas City, Kan., and, according to H. P. Ewing, the promoter and manager its object is to furnish productive employment to the Negroes who wish to leave the congested city conditions. 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. BRUCE "GRIT" AT ISSUE WITH TYLER PURE BLACKS HERE FIRST. The Negro Race Is Genuine and Recognized by Ethnologists Throughout the World—Occupies Place In Natural History—Term Afro-American or Colored Mere Makeshift. John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y., known to the newspaper profession among us throughout the United States as Bruce "Grit," takes issue with the Hon. Ralph W. Tyler as to the proper title by which the Negro race in America should be known and called. After asking the question, Shall it be Negro, Afro-American or colored? Bruce "Grit" says: "The first cargo of black slaves that were brought to the United States of America arrived in 1619 and were settled at Jamestown, in the state of Virginia. They were unmistakably Guinea Negroes, captured on the Guinea coast and sold to the slave traders (when not stolen outright by these gentry) by other tribesmen than their own. From these twenty Negroes and the accretions to their number up to the period when the slave trade was abolished (1808) their descendants numbered in 1863 a fraction over 3,000,000 souls. "The census of 1800 showed that there were 7,470,040 people classed as Negroes, of which number 6,337,980 were pure blacks or of African descent; of mulattoes, one-half Negro, 956,989; of quadroons, one-quarter Negro, 105,135; octoons, one-eighth Negro, 69,136, or a total of Afro-Americans, Negroids and "nelthers," 1,132,000. "The proposition to saddle either of these names upon the black is not a fair one, since there are now more than 6,000,000 blacks against a mere handful of variously mixed people who are afraid or ashamed of that robust and meaningful term Negro, which is the name of a genuine race which is recognized by ethnologists the wide world over—a race which occupies a place in natural history. "These hybrids—offshoots—the result of alliances between black men and white women, or vice versa, ask for too much when they ask that we discard the only proper and scientifically recognized name, Negro, and adopt a hybrid, meaningless racial cognomen representing a type of which white men and black men are the creators. It is a case of the tall wagging the dog. "The terms Afro-American and colored are makeshift. They are apologetic. There is no such race as the Afro-American race. There never was such a race. The term 'colored' is misleading and indefinite when applied to people of African descent. It can apply equally to the Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Turk, Carib and white man, only he is colorless and by courtesy is called white. As a designation of that branch of the Negro race which is neither white nor black, it doesn't fit, and it cannot be made to fit by amateur ethnologists and scientists, white or black. The Negro race, being in the majority in this country, as the statistics show, has the right to oppose this mischievous attempt of the minority party to change the family name. "A Negro can no more be an Afro-American than an Afro-American can be a Caucasian except by a decree of a court. We can neither escape history nor the Negro race, no matter how we squirm, because our grandparents were simon pure blacks, some of them, and some of us have straight hair, fair complexions and regular white folks' features. The die is cast, and we cannot change the existing order by academic argument and questionable logic. The thing crested is not greater than its creator. "Some of these critics of the word Negro object to its use because it is a reminder of slavery and also that it is corrupted into the vulgar term 'Nigger.' By the same process of reasoning white men, both in Europe and America, who were once slaves, some of them of black masters, might object to being called white. The term 'Nigger' has only recently-i. e., within a hundred years or so—been regarded as a term of reproach. "The white man has outlived his recollection of the days of his bondage and risen superior to his past condition. Thousands of whites were slaves of black planters in Santo Domingo, and thousands of them were slaves here in the United States, purchased for a few hundred of pounds of tobacco. Today France is a mighty nation and America is a great republic, with a little over 1,132,000 people of mixed blood and different kinds of hair, who because of these physical differences are shocked when referred to as Negroes and wish to abolish its use Never!"

LE OIE OS 7 Stee eee Oly en memes tee eee Memory Verses, 12, 13—Golden Text, 1 Bam. xvi, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. It 4s certainly restful to be in the hands of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will (Eph. 4, 11) and who says, “1 will work, and who - hall let it” (binder, or turn back) (isa. xlilf, 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 té him, “How long wilt thon 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 en- tered upon a restful life. Then ivs continuance depends upon our living in the perfect will of God moment by moment. Note the messages to Sam- uel in verses 1-3: “I will send thee to Jesse. I have provided me a king. 1 will show thee what thou shalt do. Anoint unto Me him whom I name unto thee.” ‘This left nothing for Sam- uel but simple obedience to Him who was managing. But Samuel had an objection, “If Saul hear it be will kill me.” The Lord quieted him, and matters pro- ceeded, and Samuel did that which the Lord spake and came to Bethiehem to meet Jesse and his sops (verses 4, 5). ‘The elders of the town seemed to re- gard Samuel almost as God Himself or they must have had very guilty con- sciences, for they trembled at his com- ing until assured that he came peace- ably. 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 |efore Him at Hix coming (I Johw i 28), Having called Jesse and his sons. Samuel thought that he saw in Eliab a fit successor to Saul, but the Lond told him not to look on bis outward appear- ance (verses 6, 7). When we consider ' Ella's contemptuous and uncalled for | wentment of David a little later (xvil, 28) we do not wonder that the Lord refused Lim, for He knew what was in man (John fi, 25). Seven of Jesse's sons pasxed before Samnel, 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 clildren?” ‘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). 1 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 fioagine that he would be more desirous to meet Sam- uel than any of his brothers would. even though there might be nothing especially for him in it. Some day tn the kingdom we may talk with him about that particular day. I never read or write this story or think about {t 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 xreat occasion, and then all the older brothers set aside |and compelled to wait till he came. |and then to see Samuel take the hora of ofl and anoint him in the midst of | his brethren. I think 1 can hear Eliab say to some of his brothers as they went home- ward, “The old prophet must be in his dotage.” ‘There is nothing to it, for they did not hear the Lord say to Sam- | uel, “Arise, anoint im, for this is he” | (cerses 12, 18), ‘The comfort I get from jit 4s that the Lord looketh on the heart, not on the outward appearance, and when be wants you for any work He will find you and get you there in spite of all obstacles. It fs ours to keep quietly on minding our sheep, like Da- vid or Moses: thrashing our wheat. like Gideon; plowing, like Elisha: doing housework, like Mary of Nazareth: mending nets. like Peter and John, ot whatever else Is our regular occupa- tlon, ‘The Spirit of the Lord came upon David, but departed from Saul because of Saul’s failure to obey (13, 14). God allows’ us fo choose, and If we choose the evil and not the good we have no one to blue but ourselves By the advice of Saut's servants he songht 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), Beli sent for, Saul loved him greatly and made him his armor bearer.

Today it has fifty ie i iy a i eee arate aoe a : Poe OW ae i i® 7 Bee ik aed ak. Ree H . a 3.45 i i ell e fis | 1 a OS ery y ea i i Sees Pe eee aetna Tees branches throughout the country and 7,000. members, while the Crisis has reached a circulation of over 35,000. The platform of the association is broad, but uncompromising. Its offi- cial statement says: “The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the fall enjoyment of their rights as citizens, justice in: all courts and equal- Ity of opportunity everywhere. It fa- vors amd aims to ald every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or preroga- tive, elass_ or caste. It recognizes the national character of the Negro problem and no sectionalism. It be- Meves in the upholding of the constitu- tion of the United States and its amendments, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, It upholds the doctrine of ‘all mn up and no man down.’ It ahora Negro crime, but still more the conditions which breed crime and, most of all, the crimes committed by mobs im the mockery of the law or by individnals in the name of the law. “It believes that the scientific truths of the Negro problem must be availa- ble before the country can see its way wholly clear to right existing wrongs. It hag no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to peace and social content. It has no other desire than exact justice and no other motive than humanity.” Telling Points at Annual Meeting. At the recent annual meeting two happenings may be emphasized: First. the awarding of the first Spingarn medal, worth $100, to Ernest Everett Tus: of Howard university for distin- guished research in biology; second, the pfoposed program for radical Ne- gro advance laid down by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. Dr. Du Bois said, in part: “We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with a half loaf or by being willing to lull our friends into a false sense of our in- Hifference and present satisfaction. The American Negro demands equall- ty—political equality, industrial equall- ty and social equality—and he is never going to rest satisfied with anything less, He demands this in no spirit of brazgadocio and with no obsequious tnvy of others, but as an absolute Aeasure of self defense and the only one that will assure to the darker taces their ultimate survival on earth. “Only In a demand and a persistent @emand for essential equality in the modern realms of human culture cnn any people show a real prite of race and @ decent self respect. For any group, nation or race to admit for a moment the present monstrous de mandief the white race to be the In: heritars of the earth. the arbiters of mankind and the sole owners of 1 her- ftnge ef eatture which they did not ereate ner even tmprore to any great. er extent than the other great divisiens Negrs Must Have Political Freedom. “Phe Negro must hive politica free dom—taxation without representation fs tyranny. American Nexroes of 10 day are ruled by tyrmnts who take what they lefise in taxes and give what they please in fiw snd adminis tration, in justice and in injustice and the great mass of black people must stund helpless und voiceless hefore a condition which has time and time again caused other peoples to fight and die, ‘The Negro ust have industrial freedom. Between the peonage of the rural south, the oppression of shrewd capitalists and the jealousy of certain trade unions the Negro laborer is the most exploited class in the country, giving more hard toll for less money than any other American and with less voice in the conditions of bis labor. “In social intercourse every effort 1s being made today from the president of the United Statgs and the so called Chorch of Christ down to saloons’ and bootblacks to segregate, strangle and spiritually starve the Negro so as to give him the least possible chance to know and share civilization. “The Negro must have power—the power of men, the right to do, to know. to feel and to express that knowledge. action and spiritual gift. He must not simply be free from the political tyran- ny of white folk; be must have the right to vote and to rule over all the citizens to the extent of his proved foresight and ability. He must have a voice in the new industrial democ- racy which 1s building and the power to see to ft that his children are not in the next generation trained to be the mud sills of society. He must have the right to social Intercourse with his fellows. “There was a time in the atomic in- dividualistic group when “social inter- course” meant merely calls and tea parties; today social Intercourse means theaters, lectures, organizations, clubs. churches, excursions, travel, hotels—it means, in short. life. ‘To bar a group from inethods of thinking, living and doing is to bar them from the world and bid them create a new world—it is to crucify them and taunt them with not being able to live.” Five Practical Constructive Steps. Dr. Du Bois suggests five p.actical steps for action—tirst, economic co-op- eration; second, a revival of art and j ternture; third, political action: fourth, education: fifth, organization. “For the accomplishment of all these ends we must organize. Organization among us already has gone far, but it must go much further and higher. Organiza- tion is sacrifice. It is sacrifice of opin- fons, of time, of work and of money. but it is, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of gifts— freedom and efficiency. I thank God that most of the money that supports this association comes from black hands. A still larger proportion must come, and we must not only support. but control, this and similar organiza- tions and hold them unwaveringly to our objects, onr aims and our ideals. “With such organizations and with all the progress that they can point to let us never be satisfied with mere prog- Tess 80 long as we fall so far short of & reasonable accomplishment of our desires. Memember that we are de- spised today by millions of people not because we suffer, but because we suf- fer like dumb. driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces. To what other race could it happen on God's green earth that one of its greatest leaders here in New York before assembled thousands could congratulate his peo- ple because only fifty-two black men and women have in one short year been hanged and shot and burned by mobs? If that can give 10,000,000 peo- ple satisfaction, in God’s name what will it take to make them fight? Du Bois’ Ipse Dixit and the Crisis. “As for me and those that think with me. so long as one black man in the United States is Megally punished or unjustly treated or has the door of op- pertunity closed in his face we will protest and complain and protest again whether the world wants to bear us or not.. We may not gain our ends. We may not in our day realize eur fdeals. But the program I lay before you is not only reasonable and just. but it is a program of peace and pu- tience, and in laying it down I face the awful fact that in this as in all great causes. if peace and patience cannot win, then war and struggle must. Io any case there can be né despair, there can be no surrender, there can be no defeat as long as a black man draws 1 breath in America.” It fs interesting to know that the Easter edition of the Crisis, which Dr. Du Bois edits, will have a total of 43,000 copies, a record breaking number for a colored journal.

BENEFACTOR OF HIS RACE. How a Washington Church Prospers Under Dr. W. H. Jernagin. Washington.—The growth in activity. membership and the «bility to handle successfully large Snancial problems are some of the many excellent fea- tures of progress noted at the Mount Carmel Baptist church under its capa- ble minister. the Rev. Dr, W. B. Jer- nagin. Within six months after (r. Jernagin became the minister of this congregation it was found that ihe ‘church edifice was too small to com fortably accommodate the membershi)). | The matter of securing a larger meeting house was taken up by Dr. Jernagin and the officials and mem bers of the church, and within a short time. to the great surprise of both re. liglous and business circies, Dr. Jeria- gin negotiated for and tinally pureli<- ed the chureb building in which Pres- ident Wilson was at the time a pw- ‘holder. Many persons who ure not members of Mount Carmel when visit ing the churcb often request the privi- lege of being seated in the chair for merly occupied by President Wilson. ‘The increase in new members the past year was quite large, and during the so _ ‘ - a 7 * REV. DK. W. B. JERNAGIN. past months of 1915 the additions to the membership have been quite fre- quent. ~ This is Dr. Jernagin’s third year at Mount Carmel. His teadership is ree- ognized not only by bis own congre- gation but by the Baptist denomin:- tion in and out of the District of Co- Iumbia. He is a thorough race mau and never lets an opportunity pass by which he may benefit the race. _1n the case of the people against the Oklabo- ma separate car law argued before the United States supreme court by Attor- ney William Harrison of Oklahoma City, Okla. in October. 1914, be was Lawyer Harrison's right band man in financing and creating favorable senti- ment among high legal authorities. Ue encourages business enterprises con- ducted by our people and urges ihe race to patronize such as are endeavor ing to do a legitimate business. It is through his efforts that Wasii- ington society bas been honored with four of the greatest musicals of the season; hence the eyes of Washiuzton are turned toward Mount Carmel Ban tist church as never before. ‘This ix due to Dr. Jernagin’s wise and bonest leadership. He has the coufidence of the community, and the people know that he is a man of his word and fully capable of bandling matters of great moment with skill. HOW TO KEEP GOOD HEALTH. National Negro Health Week Pro- moters Issue Some Timely Advice. One of the things that the national Negro health week. March 21 to 27. is intended to do is to spread information concerning how it is possible to keep from having consumption, also what to do to cure consumption, says the Na- tional Negro Business league throush its president, Dr. Booker T. Washing ton. For a long time it was supposed that consumption was inherited and incurable. It is now found that this is not trne. Constimption is a disease that is acquired and with proper care can be cured. Many things are necessary to over- ‘come this monster, for consumption is a disease of poverty and is spread by ‘bad houses, insanitary methods of life. carelessness and excesses. But of all things that help to overcome consump- tion nothing is so important as abun- dant fresh air. Do you sleep ip a room where you keep the windows ughtly closed in cold weather? Do you keep out fresh air because it may “chill” you? Do you work in a room or a shop where the air cannot enter? If so you are bazirding your life and in- viting death. Open your windows and keep them open at all times, especially during the hours of sleep! If you have not cover enough to keep you warm in cold weather, save money and buy it, for ample cover, permitting you to sleep with your windows open, will do more for your good health than all the medi- cine you buy. If you want to live ami to keep from having consumption live with your windows open!
