Masons and Odd Fellows Turn Out En Masse. their arrival here in Denver, Thomas J. branched out for himself and took up the mining industry in Central City, Colorado. He was married to Miss Lucy A. Boon in Sept 1861, and seven children were born to their happy union, four of whom are living, one son and three daughters. He met with marked success in his undertakings, and did not fail to tell his associates that it was all due to the goodness of God. He soon set about getting up an organization of which he became a charter member, out of which sprung our present Zion Baptist church; this was in 1865 Brother Riley being an ever busy man 1866 found him agitating the subject of Free-Masonry, and by November of the following year he had succeeded in instituting Rocky Mountain Lodge No.7, F. & A.M. Nine years thereafter, he with the assistance of other zealous workers, succeeded in organizing a Grand Lodge in the Territory of Colorado with four subordinate lodges. At that time Rocky Mountain Lodge, formerly number 7 was changed to number 1. Brother Riley was found still at the helm, and during his term of membership he honorably filled all the important offices of both the Blue Lodge and the Grand Lodge, having served as Worshipful Master of No. 1 eleven years, and later as Grand Master of the Jurisdiction for the same length of time, and for his noble service was made an honorary member several years ago. He was also a charter member of Far West Chapter No. 6 and Red Cross Commandery No. 18 Knights Templar, which were organized in 1881. When the Scottish Rites were added, Brother Riley made his way up the ladder to the highest rung, thereby obtaining for himself the 33rd degree in Masonry. For 27 years he was a staunch member of Arapahoe Lodge No. 2936 G. U. O. of Odd Fellows. He held many positions of trust in this city, and was always found to be faithful and trust-worthy. Notwithstanding he lost much of this world's goods through a turn of adversity, he always cherished his honesty, respectability, and his friendship from all as equivalent to this world's riches. He became seriously ill on Mar. 25, and lingered until Tuesday Mar 30, at 5:45 p. m. Brother Riley was conscious to the last and gave instructions as to his funeral and When any man can so live as to proudly have his life and character so relate to the many problems in the church, state and city life, that man is an honor to any community. When a man's life is so interwoven with the birth of an organization, be it fraternal, religious or secular, that one cannot properly be separated from the other then that man has lived a life of service and usefulness. Such were the activities in the life of Thomas Jefferson Riley as influenced by the organization and development of Zion Baptist church of this city. In his eulogy it was said he carried lumber, nails and dug up the earth, even though then a young man, to help erect a church of his faith. Neither time nor space would permit us to relate his hardships, woes, uprisings, downsettings intermingle with the joys, blessings and happiness which his life of usefulness in the church afforded him. White men begged for a chance to say something extolling the life of this eminent partriarch. For 53 years he lived in Denver and became acquainted with the best in both races and every person was eager to pay deserving homage in time of his decease. His personality will be missed in Denver. Denver through the lodges, Masons, and Odd Fellows turned out as never before; fully 100 men were in line to do Father Riley honor. Campbell A. M. E. church was packed on the inside and the crowd extended down 23rd and all long Lawrence Sts., for fully a block each way. The crowd was immense. The church and ritualistic service were very simple. Rev. Washington officiating, assisted by Revs. Randolph, Murphy and A. C. Jackson. The Masons were personally in charge of the Grand Master Titus S. Rector, whom Denver knows and loves. Arapahoe Lodge augmented by Denver and Rocky Mountain Lodges, were in charge of Henry Marks. Douglass Undertaking Co., certainly showe-ep its ability to handle the crowd. Mr. Reed was the director. Thomas Jefferson Riley was born in Cherokee county, State of Georgia, Jan. 29th, 1836, A. D. Early in 1860 at the age of 24 years, he went with his father to Memphis, Tenn., and later to Colorado. Though they suffered many hardships on their journey, it is said they never complained or murmured. Soon aft er burial, the last hour being spent in talking of the great.

AT LAST, BUT NOT TOO LATE. Railroad Men Organize. In keeping step with progress of all large commercial organizations, the Pullman Co., has organized the porters in its employ into benevolent associations throughout the entire United States, for mutual aid. There are seven association of approximately a thousand men to an association. The company employs seven thousand porters as the minimum and ten thousand as the maximun, being the largest employer of colored labor in the United States. The company appreciates the efforts of the men in the various districts to aid themselves by forming societies and aid associations among themselves, but for lack of financial support and other obstacles too great for them to surmount, have decided to assist the men by its stamp of approval and financial aid. In keeping with that purpose, there was called a conference in New York at the office of Division Supt. A. J. Grant, a number of District Superintendents of the company and a porter to represent each district, at which time an association was formed, known as the Pullman Porters' Benevolent Association of the North East, which comprises the following districts: New York (except Pennsylvania Terminal), Montreal, Boston (North and South), Toronto, Albany, Jersey City (North), Weehawken and Hoboken. The organization will be controlled by porters. There is a general committee of seven, who have jurisdiction over all matters pertaining to the organization of the North East Association, also agents whose duties are to assist the local committeemen and to enroll members. (By Thos. R. Webb) On Mar. 24th, there was organized in San Francisco a movement for the adjancement of a part of our race in west. This organization is known as the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association of Pacific Zone, and includes all districts of Denver, Salt Lake, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Tuscon, Arizona. The Pullman Company was represented by F. L. Wood, Division Supt. of West, and and Supt. Twining of Salt Lake and Allen and Kelley of 'Frisco. The porters were represented by Todd E. Graham of Seattle and Spokane Districts, John W. 'Stanley of Portland District, J. N. Nance of Salt Lake District, R. L. Williams and W. P. Taylor of 'Frisco District, J. T. Ambrose of Los Angeles District, and Thos. R. Webb of Denver District. The following officers were elected: R. L. Williams of Frisco, Chairman; Thos. R. Webb of Denver, Secretary and Todd E. Graham of Seattle, Treasurer. Agents for the several districts were appointed as follows: Portland, J. N. Stanley; Seattle and Spokane, Todd E. Graham; Frisco, W. P. Taylor; Los Angeles, J. T. Ambrose; Salt Lake, J. W. Nance; Denver, J. J. Houston. The rules and regulations promulgated by Pullman Co., for the temporary organization, were adopted subject to amendments and changes to be submitted by representatives of porters of the different zones at their annual meeting in Chicago in October. Resolutions were adopted thanking the officers of the Pullmnn Company for their kind interest and co-operation in the formation of the organization and also for the 5 per cent donation from the company to each death fund. The meeting was held in the office of Divis on Supt. F. L. Wood and much enthusiasm was manifested both by officers and men. The Pacific Zone will be affiliated with the other six zones into which the United States has been divided. Colored Man Elected to City Council in Chicago. Oscar DePriest, who has been in the city's employ for many years in Chicago, was swept into office in the Second Ward at Tuesday's election. He is the first colored man ever elected to the city council. $300,000 Bequeathed To Hotel Employees Atlantic Cily, N. J.—Several colored employees of the Hotel Brighton were named as legatees in the will of Frederick Helmslay, the late proprietor of that hotel, who died at his home, 2018 Delancey street, Philadelphia, Mar. 18. Bequests amounting to $300, 000 were made to the older employees. FIVE CENTS A COPY. GOOD MEN TAKING HOLD. Good Men Rally to Support Colored Protective League. Negroes Future in Denver Brightens Up. That the Colored Protective League organized for the purpose of the protection of the civil, political and industrial rights, has a mission to fill in this city, is beyond dispute. That this same league must have your personal, undivided and exclusive support in order for it to properly carry out its aims and object is, also beyond dispute. Lastly that only one organization of this kind is necessary in Denver is agreed upon by all. This organization whose officers you know and in whom you have confidence can weli stake its personell and influence against an organization whose basic principles are declared by the promoters to be, "to have no affiliation with any previous movements of this character." Think of a club or society at the start advertising their opposition to peace, unity mutual helpfulness and all things and all organizations (including women's clubs, churches, lodges etc) which stand for what the Negro needs most, race unity wisely directed to move in a single direction for peace, progress and prosperity. What have you to think of a club of supposed "intelligent representative" men advocating disruption, confusion and constant trouble among Negroes for the purpose of breaking up or attempting to influence a legitimate club? The Colored Protective League sent two committees on missions of peace in order to strike a common ground so that the Negro could present his forces undivided and as one solid phalanx, and twice offers of peace were rejected by the disruptionists. They don't want harmony nor peace, but trouble and division. Again looking over the names of some of the best people in Denver, The Star is still forced to believe that they were deceived into that movement and we refuse to believe otherwise unless they persist in staying with that troublesome crowd. To these honorable women whose very life work in the past has been to cement the race together and to knit our woes, joys, sorrows and happiness so closely that we could feel interdependence one upon the other giving confidence, support and power to our race. We are appealing to you to leave the sinking ship. There are many kinds of leadership, but the kind needed today, is that true leadership, governed and characterized by honesty and integrity. No race of people in the history of civilization ever edured such a leadership of more consumate cowardice, than is being practiced by a number of Negroes totally void of self respect and appreciation of many manly resentments. He submits to every indignity, with apology, that the white man inflicts upon him. When we speak of a coward, we don't mean a physical coward, but a moral coward. The man, who has not the courage to resent a wrong, is not worthy of the name man, and for all it stands for. If the Negro orators and pulpit leaders would teach to their people to decline to patronize those white business enterprises, that insult them and their womanhood, it would not be long before these many insults and indignities, that are being heaped upon the race on account of color, would soon become a dead issue. The all important thing, with the Negro people, is the necessity of seeing the mighty strength of organization among themselves. Let us think, the Jew will not read a paper that is hostile to Jews; the Irishman will resent, with all of his hot blood, insults heaped upon his race by newspapers and all nationalities, the Japanese told in a few words the world just where they stood a few years ago in California, with reference to the school question and the Alien's Rights Law, which had for its purpose the confiscation of property, as applied to their race. The German will also fight every periodical organization and issue, that has for its aim, a lessening of their standing in church or state. There is not a coward but the Negro; there is no race so divided against itself in such a humiliating and boot-licking way, as that of the black man. Yes, two many of us are coward sycophants, and dead to the conscience of true leadership. Let us educate our hearts, our heads, our hands and our feet. Then let us stand up and march by the tap of the drum, while the cornet plays, the leading part of "Manhood Rights, Stick-to-itiveness, Ambition and High Ideals. And we will then here and there throughout the entirety of this country from a solid phalanx, with the breast plate, buckle and shield, that will cause the world to sit up and take notice. O, if thou would fill the place of a being, that God created, with a fearless and all-seeing eye, that can and will espye things in a distance whether they are good or evil. That is what we need and what we will get in the Colored Protective League. Let your voice, pen and moral support be against everything to the contrary.

Preaching at 8:30 a. m. Last Sunday was a busy day. The Sunday School rendered a beautiful program, "The Story of Easter," and a nice crowd was present to hear the children. At 11:00 a. m. the pastor preached on the "Condescension of Christ." Three additions, two for baptism and one by restoration, and at 7:30 we held baptismal services with Central church and at 8:30 the choir rendered a beautiful song service of Easter music which was enjoyed by all present. On last Saturday night the following named members and friends of the church surprised the pastor and family. After singing "There Will Be Showers of Blessings," they were admitted laden with many good things to make the pastor and family feel the true spirit of Easter: Bro. D. Robinson and wife, Bro.

Rev. Robert L. Pope, Pastor. Dr. J. P. Howard, the hero of many babbities and one of the greatest evangelists of the West, will arrive in the city today and will fill the pulpit morning and evening tomorrow. He comes to us directly from St. Louis, Mo., where he conducted two revivals in which upward of 300 persons were taken into the church. Our spring revival begins to morrow and it is hoped that the coming to us of this man of God will be the means of a great spiritual awakening in Denver. He needs no introduction to the people of this city, for his former campaigns here are his best recommendation. Preaching service will be held every evening and we invite our sister churches to join us. Our Easter service this year, as predicted, was a record-breaker. The services during the day were of a high order and culminated in one of the most brilliant and inspiring musical renditions that we have witnessed. Large audiences flocked to the church throughout the day and at evening, notwithstanding a silver offering was taken at the door. A number of persons were turned away for lack of accommodation. Our choir, under the direction of Miss Jennie, M. Hicks, through the rendition of the cantata, "Cross and Crown," placed upon the public a debt of gratitude which will not be easy to discharge. The verdict of the public is that our choir triumphed gloriously. Our Easter rally has been extended to Sunday, April 18th, at which time all members who did not meet their obligation Sunday are requested to pay their assessments in full. The passing of Miss Ruth Fife took from us a most beautiful character, whose place will be hard to fill. Her funeral was held from the church Monday afternoon. Our sympathy goes out to loved ones.

Lesson III.—Second Quarter, For April 18, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ps. xxiii—Memory Verse, Ps. xxiii—Golden Text, Ps. xxiii, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This most familiar of all the psalms to many people is as farreaching as any and will have its complete fulfillment only in the kingdom when Isa. xl, 10, 11; Jer. xxill, 5, 6; Ezek. xxxvii, 21-28, shall be fulfilled in the eyes of all nations, with every other prediction concerning Israel's future glory. All the true shepherds and shepherdesses of the Bible are suggestive of Christ and Israel, with some reference also to Christ and His church. He is primarily the Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock, dwelling between the cherubim (Ps. lxxx, 1). He is also the Good Shepherd giving His life for the sheep and giving eternal life to His sheep, the sheep of His pasture (John x, 11, 27, 28; Ps. c, 3). He is the Great Shepherd risen from the dead, by whom God works in His people that which is well pleasing in His sight (Heb. xill, 20, 21). He is also the chief Shepherd, who, at the resurrection of the just, will give the crowns to those who have won them and among others the crown of glory to those who have faithfully feed the flock (I Pet. v, 1-4). All the shepherds, such as Abel, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and David, were wondrously typical of the Good Shepherd, and the women also, such as Rachel and Zipporah, who kept sheep, give us much to meditate upon, but all centers upon Him who is altogether lovely and of whom our souls say, "My meditation of Him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord" (Song v. 16; Ps. civ. 34). The sequences of Scripture are most interesting and helpful studies, and in Psalm xxii, xxiii, xxiv, we have one of the most wonderful. Ps. xxii tells very fully of His sufferings; as if written by an eyewitness; speaks of His hands and feet pierced, His garments divided and lots cast upon His vesture, and quotes some of the very words flung at Him as He hung upon the cross, but it also tells of the resurrection and the kingdom. Ps. xxiii suggests Israel's glory in the millennial kingdom, and Ps. xxiv tells of the King of glory ruling the whole world in righteousness. No one can truly say "The Lord is my Shepherd" who has not seen Him dying in their stead, bearing their sins in His own body and received Him as their own Saviour (Gal. ii, 20; I Pet. ii, 24; John i, 12; Eph. i, 6, 7). Then only can we be sure that we shall never want any good thing, for He who spared not His own Son will with Him also freely give us all things (Ps. xxxiv, 9, 10; lxxxiv, 11; Rom. vill, 32). It is impossible that such a Shepherd could withhold from any of His sheep anything really good for them. Pastures of tender grass and waters of quietness (Ps. ii, margin), such would He have us enjoy always if we would only keep close to Him and not stray away like a lost sheep, choosing our own pasture and causing Him to grieve over us, saying, "Oh, that my people had hearkened unto me and Israel had walked in my ways" (Ps. lxxxi, 11-16). Although none of His sheep can ever perish, they may wander and need restoration, as when David said, "I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant," or, again, "Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation" (Ps. cxix, 176; ii, 12). He will be glad to lead us in the paths of righteousness if we are only willing to be thus led. Thus only can we forestake the kingdom and know something of its peace and quietness and assurance. The expression "the shadow of death" is just one word and is found ten times in Job, four times in the Psalms and four times in the prophets. It may refer to the whole time of our sojourn here for we may be said to be always in the shadow of death, but the believer can always say, "I will fear no evil." for to the child of God death is always gain and very far better (Phil. 1, 21, 23). Death is never spoken of as the coming of Christ, for, although death brings gain to the believer, it is always an enemy, the last enemy to be destroyed (I Cor. vx, 26). In life or death, if we are His, He is always with us to guide, comfort, sustain, protect us and assures us that He will never leave us or fail us (Deut. xxxl, 8; Isa. xll, 10, 13; Heb. xlll, 5). The table in the presence of enemies will have a great fulfillment at the beginning of the next age, when He will come in glory for Israel's deliverance. It will then be a feast of fat things, when He will take away the rebuke of His people from off all the earth (Isa. xxv. 6-9). For the believer there is always a feast, and we may be day by day satisfied with the fatness of His house and drink of the river of His pleasures (Ps. xxv. 8). It is a reproach to the Lord when His people are seen seeking satisfaction at the world's table. When truly anointed with the Holy Spirit we shall so enjoy the Lord and His fullness that there shall be an overflow for others, but how few seem to overflow!

Then to think of our forever home, from which we shall go no more out (John xiv. 1-3); only unbelief can make us sad.

THE NEW WAV 50 65 EDUCATORS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING REPORTS SHOW PROGRESS. Twenty-seventh Year of Negro Teachers' Association and School Improvement League of Virginia Marked by Earnest Work Throughout the State During the Year. By M. MORSELL GRIFIN. Richmond, Va. -The recent twenty seventh annual meeting of the Negro Teachers' and School Improvement League of Virginia, held for two days at the Ebenezer Baptist church in this city, emphasized the rapid progress which the race is making in literary and moral education. Among those who delivered addresses of welcome to the delegates and visitors were: Mayor George W. Ainslee, J. A. C. Chandler, superintendent of schools; Miss E. A. Coles, on behalf of the city teachers; Rev. B. D. Lewis, for the ministry; Dr. R. C. Brown, for the school leagues; Mrs. M. L. Walker, for the women of Richmond; Dr. W. H. Hughes, for the THE BROOKLYN BROTHERS EDGAR A. LONG professional men, and Editor John Mitchell, Jr., for the business men. The response to these addresses was made by Professor I. C. Norcum, representing the State Teachers association. Reports were made by delegates representing the various county and local leagues, each of which presented a concise statement of work accomplished, present needs as to better schoolhouses, longer school terms and plans for future work. The first paper read was presented by Mrs. Rosa D. Bowser on "Geography; How Best Taught Effectively." What the teacher can do to inspire children to go to high school and college was able outlined by Professor J. W. Barco. "Ethical Training In Public Schools" was the subject of an address by Dr. George Rice Hovey, president of the Virginia Union university. The discussion was opened by Professor Nelson Williams, Jr. The Hon. R. C. Stearnes, superintendent of public instruction, made the closing speech of the first day's session. Program of the Second Day's Session. After county and local league delegates concluded their reports the second day the first subject to receive attention was that of Miss Sarah J. Walker on "How to Make Reading Count For More In the Work of the School." There was an address by Mrs. M. B. Munfort, president of the Co-operative Educational association, which was followed by a symposium, "Improving the Country School," which consisted of building a schoolhouse, extending the term and making improvements on the grounds and buildings. The discussion was led by Miss Virginia Randolph. Work of the home canning clubs was discussed by Miss Lizzie Jenkins and Mr. Jackson Davis. "The City and Rural Teacher. In Contrast" was the subject of an address by Professor W. T. B. Williams. Reports from the various committees were given, and the closing address was delivered by Professor Garnet C. Wilkinson, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school at Washington. Eventful Career of President Long- Professor Edgar A. Long, principal of the Christiansburg Industrial institute and president of the Negro Teachers' association, has been prominent in educational affairs in Virginia since 1897. He came to the state from Alabama, where he was associated with the late Dr. Pettiford, founder of the Alabama Penny Savings bank. He was for a time one of the bookkeepers in that institution and is still a stockholder. He was born at Tuskegee. Ala., in 1871 and was educated at the Tuskegee institute, graduating from that school in 1895. He has done considerable study in correspondence schools since finishing the course at Tuskegee, giving special attention to science, pedagogy and economics. He has been principal of the Christianburg (Va.) Industrial institute since 1904. Under his administration the institution has grown both in the number of students and in equipment. The value of the plant, including a farm of 155 acres, 10 buildings, 40 head of live stock, with a general equipment, is given as $75,000. The school at the present time has an enrollment of 290 students and 13 teachers. Achievement of the 'Association. For four years he has been president of the Negro Teachers' Association of Virginia. Under his direction this organization has become a vital force in the education; affairs of the state among colored people. Through the association's activities and its affiliated organizations the colored people have been inspired to put over $100,000 into their public schools since 1911, when President Long was elected head of the association. In speaking about this good showing a prominent educator has the following to say of President Long: "A moving force in this good showing for improvement in Virginia is the association's president, Professor E. A. Long, principal of the Christiansburg Industrial institute, Cambria, Va. Professor Long took the leadership of the association at a time when it needed a strong hand to guide it, and within the past four years he has organized it into a vital, active force for carrying forward the work of educational efficiency and social uplift throughout the state." President Long's Annual Address... In his annual address President Long said in part: It is significant that just fifty years ago another army captured Richmond. Mid the din of battle and the clash of arms they came into your city. With streaming banner and shrieking life they paraded your streets, and the drum's beat, which to some was the note of victory, was to us the funeral march of slavery, which died here, was buried at Appomattox and which will rise no more. The war was fought in the heart of the slaves. Today, after the lapse of half a century, a new army which has been fighting that men might have life and have it more abundantly comes up to Richmond. Those who fought and bled and died for the country's honor and, thus fighting, freed the body of this people, deserve our gratitude and will have their names carved in marble and bronze which must crumble with the lapse of years, but those who fight in the army for the emancipation of men's souls, my friends will be remembered in the hearts of a grateful people as well as inscribed in that hall of fame in the "city with foundations whose builder and maker is God." The state association lays no claim to directing the work of the teachers in their efforts to create better school conditions. It furnishes, however, a means for an exchange of experiences which always proves helpful. There is engendered a friendly rivalry between teachers and principals in the spread of professional zeal. We do collect what has been done by the teachers under their various agencies and thus keep somewhat of a record of the progress made from year to year. The first year, 1912, of which we have any authentic record, the sum of $15,333 was raised through the various school leagues, in 1913 $24,880, in 1914 $29,880. This year, when the records are all in, we believe it will be over $60,000. Not counting this year, however, more than $23,000 has been put into the public schools by the Negro people of Virginia. These figures do not include work of which no reports were made to this organization. These splendid results have been made possible largely by the supervising teachers of the Jackson Davis who represents the most progressive spirit of the new south. It is well to be proud of what has been accomplished, but it is better to remember what is yet to be done. According to the last figures for 1912-13 there were 26,411 children out of school. The summarized reports of the division superintendents show that the capacity of the Negro schoolhouses is 103,963. The records show, however, that there were 17,017 children enrolled in the schools. This means there were 15,340 children enrolled in the schools. Let us not forget that there were 26,411 children who were not enrolled. It means that just one-fourth of the Negro children in the Virginia schools cannot be accommodated in her schoolhouses at the present time. Here is a situation, my fellow teachers, that calls for your thoughtful consideration. If we cannot induce the school authorities to build schoolhouses for our children let us go down into our pockets and build them ourselves. Some of the buildings in which Negro children go to school are not in our stables. We can build magnificent church edifices in which to parade our hypocrisy and show off our fine clothes and send our children to a junk house to imbibe character. They get it, too of the kind that fills the Richmond penitentiary with youthful offenders. Effect of Environment on Character. When we learn to properly appreciate the effect which environment has upon the formation of character, we often use it in these fine churches and put it into the building of better schools. How about that, Brother Preacher? Perhaps you don't like this kind of talk, but I want to say here that the time has come when you ministers of the Gospel have got to preach less about mansions in the skies and more about better schoolhouses in Virginia. If you don't some of those same manions are going to have the "For Rent" sign hung on them for a few days, you are getting a place for the children to go to school is the question of keeping the schools open long enough to make them really effective. it means this, that if you will raise money to extend the school one month the state will put up enough to extend it one month; if you will extend it a half month the state will extend it another half. With this opportunity before us every Negro school in the state ought to be brought up to an average of at least seven months. And it can be if you teachers will take hold of the matter in earnest. Conference with some of the officers of the department of public instruction has convinced me that they are anxious to have our schools get their proportion of this fund. Sun's report to how it to go by default because we do not rise to our opportunities, as was the case with the graded school fund. I am told that a part of this fund which was set aside for Negro schools was never used because no demand was made for it. It is time, my fellow teachers, that we were waking up and claiming our own. We have stood back too long, scared to present our needs because of being afraid of losing our jobs if we ask for what is due us. Let us stand up and plead our cause, not in anger, not in bitterness, neither by cringing nor fawning, but respectfully and firmly as men who ask men's rights. Nine Local Business Leagues Formed.

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.

Nothing was more impressive and more inspiring to the Star Sunday afternoon than to see our two undertaking establishments busy giving the best kind of efficient service. At Shorter was the Cammel & Co. and at Campbell Chapel was the Douglas, each vieing with the other in trying to give the public the best that was in their line. It lent encouragement, aspiration and gave substantial hope not only to them but to the young boy who looked upon them trusting they could hope to do the same in the future, providing they were competent. But who made it possible for the business men of color to render such excellent service? The people of color simply by hiring their own, gave these men a chance. The Negro business man has been thrown upon HIS OWN RESOURCES to live or die, survive or perish. What one of you will cripple him by withdrawing your support from him? Did you ever think how it looked at a Negro funeral where there were Negro choir, Negro minister, Negro pallbearers and Negro congregation and a Negro undertaker had charge of a Negro body. He was simply out of place. Turn the picture and look at a white choir, white minister, white pallbearers in a white church with a Negro funeral directors and undertaker in charge of the white body. Would not the Negro business man feel out of place beside the silent reflection and confession of inefficiency on the part of the Caucasians. Then why should you, you and you, mistreat your colored business men who have already been burdened down with too many handicaps? Let us think on these things and make our business men as big and great as any other people. Let us build for the future. CITY NEWS Mr. Robert H. Rutherford, of Washington, D.

POLITICAL TALK AT OHIO CAPITAL Voters Begin to Discuss Candidates For Presidency. NEW REGIME TO THE FORE. The Question of Leadership Among Our People Seems to Center In Fleming of Cleveland—Next National Campaign Will Show Strength of 80,000 Ohio Colored Men. Columbus, O.-The fact that Ohio has been given the title of "Mother of Presidents" and that there are at this early date no fewer than four native sons prominently mentioned as the probable coterie from which the next chief executive of the nation will be chosen, a few expressions concerning what's going on among the Afro-American voters, 50,000 strong in Ohio, may not be amiss. There are a few clear cut facts concerning the colored citizens of Ohio—to wit, they are the balance of power; they are for the most part men of intelligence; they have never been given a true American square deal, and, last, but not least, they now have a keen realization of their position in the body politic. They are now on the job. It would be folly to say that the colored voters of Ohio since the advent of the Republican party have never been given proper consideration. They have certainly. So has flood prevention, but there has been more talk than action. So with the voter of darker hue. We often hear of the "good old days" referred to and how "in ancient times a little hand of Spartans" did this and that and the other. And recently a well known newspaper writer and former federal officeholder contributed an article to an eastern newspaper in which he shed copious tears because under the "new regime," as he facetiously calls it, things are not as they use to be, particularly in Cleveland, the nation's sixth city and the Ohio metropolis. If there is a new regime, and let's admit there is, it is not because the old guard pasted their powers and honors over with gracious and impressive ceremony. Nay, nay, Pauline. That would have been the "Peace on earth, good will way," but it is not the way the new regime got on board. They simply had to fight, like Hannibal, inch by inch and step by step, until they crossed the Alpe of success. And the stories of these battles royal would read like fiction. The first, second and third battles of Cleveland: the first and second battles of Columbus; the battle of Dayton, the battle of Chicago and others, make up the scenes. And today General Thomas W. Fleming of Cleveland, ex-councilman, lawyer, genial fellow and race loving, stands at the head of the Ohio Afro-American Political brigade. Up to this writing Fleming's only official passport is reduced to the only race representative on the state Republican executive committee. The author of the new regime article said Fleming would be more successful if he had a big bank roll behind him. It is true that Fleming is not a rich man, and it is to his credit that instead of being selfish under the influence he has wielded, and thinking only about a little "spare change" for himself, he has always worked faithfully for the advancement of his fellow man. It is seldom that public men of the race go forward for the "good of the cause" as Fleming does. Let him be convinced that the race deserves a certain political place, and he finds a man whom he feels worthy and capable of filling the place, he will fight the cause of that man, day or night, until he is definitely appointed or until he is absolutely turned down. One of the strong points in favor of Fleming's success is his ability to gather about him men who believe in him and who will "work their heads off" in causes that interest him. He has a large following throughout the state, as well as in his home city, Cleveland. Fleming is never too busy to give the humblest pedestrian the glad hand or receive said humble pedestrian in his office and, giving him a helping hand and sunny smile, wish him good luck. The new regime has an organization. They are in touch with every city and town in the state of Ohio where there are colored voters. There is no disposition to "lord", the game. It is an "each for all and all for each" proposition. There is no ring or clique within which only the chosen few may move and have their being. The new regime puruces the open door policy, and any who can honestly say "brother" may enter and be one of the phalanx. With Republican leadership again in the fore, the new regime of Ohio has come unto its own. The gates of success stand ajar, and the door of opportunity is open. Men, high minded men, are at the steering wheel, and they will accord to our division of mankind, our loyal citizenship, proper recognition. And those recognized will not rest their ours and dream of peace and plenty, but will continue the fight in the interest of better citizenship, fairly dealt with by all. The new regime in Ohio will set an example for the nation in unselfish devotion duty. What Shall I Do to have Long, Fluffy Hair? Consult MRS. JESSIE CARTER 2759 GLENARM PL.

Townsend, officers and members of the Colored Protec- tive League in the good work they are starting out to do for all of the col- ored citizens of Denver. It is what Denver has needed for twenty years— an organization composed of men and women who know the rights of the race and who are in sympathy with the race, so as to boldly go to the front and fight for race rights though they are shot at from behind by a few in the race who do so out of jealousy. The Star offers all help and encour- agement to such a worthy organiza- tion. ‘The Colored Protective League was duly organized on the 25th of March, after two calls inviting representative citizens to come and take a part in the organization. Many citizens at- tended each meeting and all had an opportunity to express their views; others, for some secret reason, stayed away Then when the organization was formed had fault to find. They should have gone like good citizens to those called meetings and express- ed their objections, but no, they wait ed, as they always do, tll someone does something then they organize a “Knockers’’ Club” to produce confu- sion and to hinder others from doing the race any good, because they are not the leaders of the movement. The “knockers” and grafters will be toler ated no longer. THEY MUST ee OUT OF THE WAY OF PROGRESS COMMITTEES MEET. The various committees of the Col ored Protective League met Thursday evening at 2850 Welton atreet, anc much business was transacted. Each member of the different committees was enthusiastic and determined tc work for the success of the league which has for its purpose recognition ‘and the advancement and protection ‘of the rights of the colored citizess In due time the citizens will be called in and fully Informed what the League is trying to do. It's the duty of every colored citizen to come for ward and help that league for it will be the organization which will help you to help yourselves to get your rights and your share of city patron: age. DON'T LISTEN TO KNOCKERS. JUST WAIT AND SEE. OUR JUST CRITICISM. ‘A few supposedly intelligent people who are so jealous of the ability of Lawyer Townsend, who thinks out things for the race and then does those things, don't know that the credit is due to Lawyer Townsend for having aroused the colored voters to a sense of their duty to protect their rights, which have been so shamefsily abused and dented by politicians. By Mr. Townsend's vigorous pen and elo quent arguments the ‘enemies to col ored citizens are beginning already to see their wrongs and are willing tc make amends. Denver needs more colored men like Mr. Townsend, who is the equal in ability with any white man and who uses his great ability tc befriend and defend the race. Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Rutherford of Washington, D. C., were the wel- come guests of Mrs. Harry A. Per- kins of Colorado Springs while en route to Denver.

Office, 2743 Welton St. MAY ESTABLISH INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL AT FORT LEE, VA New Educational Movement Encouraged by Northern Philanthropists. Unless the present plans of the promoters miscarry the people of Richmond, Va., and vicinity will have a great industrial school at Fort Lee, Va., just out from the city limits of Richmond in the near future. It is understood that northern philanthropists have promised to contribute the sum of $25,000 for the erection of the first building, and a like sum will be contributed annually for the maintenance of the school. The Hon. Giles B. Jackson, president of the commission having charge of the arrangements for the big exposition to be held in Richmond in July and Mr. William Miller, secretary of the Negro Historical association while in New York recently visited several philanthropists. The proposed school was heartily indorsed as a splendid plan for the industrial education of colored boys and for the domestic training of girls. It is planned to operate an experimental farm in connection with the school, where farmers of the south will be taught scientific farming. While in New York President Jackson and Secretary Miller conferred with heads of the American Tobacco company and secured their promise to aid in installing a big tobacco exhibit at the exposition in order to encourage the cultivation of tobacco. Other tobacco companies will be invited to aid in putting on this exhibit. They also had an interview with the authorities of the Cotton Exchange of New York and asked them to put on a cotton exhibit. President Jackson stated that he received much encouragement. Edward K. Cone, president of the exchange, promised to take the matter up with members of the exchange to see what could be done. Mr. Cone said he thoroughly indorsed Mr. Jackson's plans for both the school and the exposition. Mr. Jackson says it was found necessary to secure the state fair grounds because doubt was expressed as to whether the trolley line would be extended to Fort Lee before the opening date for the exposition. July 4. The association owns 100 acres of land at Fort Lee, which is well adapted for use as an exposition ground, but on account of inadequate railway facilities and other hindrances it was thought best to make other arrangements.

HOW LYNCHING ENDANGERS SAFETY OF UNITED STATES HOW LYNCHING ENDANGERS SAFETY OF UNITED STATES Illegal Taking of Human Life Only Practiced by Uncivilized Persons. By BRUCE "GRIT." Lynching is defined by the lexicographers as that form of lawlessness which defies the regularly constituted authorities and nullifies their powers to act by depriving them of the opportunity to do so whenever and when ever a person has violated a written or unwritten law of those states in which Judge Lynch is supreme. It does not apply to all crimes, nor is it now operative in all the states of the Union. In a majority of the southern states and in eleven northern states since the war of the rebellion it has assumed dangerous proportions and become a menace rather than a protection to society. Its methods are too drastic and brutal and savior too much of the alleged customs and practices of uncivilized and barbarous peoples to command the favor of those who love justice and right eousness and who necessarily hate all forms of lawlessness, of which this form is the most reprehensible and most dangerous, in that it affects the character and the moral standing of those who tolerate or encourage it. There never was and there never can be, while there are courts and judges to administer the law, a valid excuse for the lynching of any human being. No nation, no community that excuses, condones or encourages this detestable method of punishing real or imaginary violations of the criminal and moral law can justly lay claim to being civilized. A people are great only when they are willing and ready to yield respect obedience and homage to the laws by which they have consented to be governed. When irresponsible men in the heat of passion defy these laws and become a law unto themselves, as in some recent lynchings by mobs, the danger to the safety of the republic is not past.
