S pecial from Little Rock: Branch Normal School for colored students located at Pine Bluff, which is 42 miles from Little Rock, was ordered closed by the governor Saturday. The alleged reason for closing the school is said to be that the superintendent W. S. Harris, white, attempted to induce a girl to take a pair of silk stockings from him and subject herself to immoral practice with him. She told her teacher of the occurrence and he refused to investigate it, she then carried the stockings and gave them to her father and he came to the school and when the youg men heard of the affair they told the principal about it and he refused to act, and they all in a student body walked out of the school three hundred strong, and when the school attempted to open up last Monday morning they only had four students, and the strikers went there and run them all away. The board met, and attempted to exhonorate Harris, saying that the testimony against him was uncorroborated, and yet she had the stockings which was physical fact, and the rule is, white men think colored women have no character and that all men are alike, but in this instance he got fooled. Bishop Chappell of the A. M. E. Church was visiting in Pine Bluff at the time and urged the students to all stay away from the school, and he was supported by all the other ministers of the city, and so the school is closed indefinite. If such conditions exist, the N. A. A. C. P. Society should interest themselves. Chicago Hotel Bars Colored Catholics. The Auditorium Hotel management drew the color line against Colored Catholics on April 7 when it refused to serve the Colored members of the Ladies Catholic Benevolent Association at the annual banquet held at the hotel. The colored branch, Order No.67, of the L. C. B. A., was invited to attend the banquet, but on April 4 the hotel management notified the banquet committee that the colored order could not be served. Two colored men, Moses McKissack and Searcy Scales, have bought the Capital City Planing Mill, one of the oldest plant of its kind in Nashville, Tenn. McKissack is an architect and Scales a contractor. They propose to manufacture all the material C. W. Brown, a colored lawyer of Elizabeth City. North Carolina, recently passed the State Supreme Court Examination. Bartow F. Powell, a farmer of Baker County, Georgia, recently sold 500 bales of cotton at 8 cents a pound. The amount of the sale was more than $20,000. The local Negro Business League of Muskogee, Oklahoma, is co-operating with the white citizens of that city to make the forth coming meeting of The Southern Commercial Congress a success. Camp Nelson is the name of a colored town in the State of Kentucky. They recently installed an electric power plant and organized several other business enterprises. Charles Watkins, the salesman of the Story and Clark Piano Co., of St. Louis who won the bonus from this company for being among the best salesmen during the year 1914, has gone into business for himself; opening a branch of the Wurlitzer Piano Company at 2005 Laclede Avenue, St. Louis. Small Colored Girl Rescues Woman. Indianapolis, Ind.—Mrs. Sarah Owens, 702 W. 10th St., was severely burned last Saturday afternoon. Her dress came in contact with a lighted gas range, and almost instantly she was in a blaze. Her grandaughter, Marion Johnson, a tot of only seven years, who was the only one present in the house at the time, had enough presence of mind to throw over her a bucket of water, which fortunately was setting near at hand. This quenched the fire a little. By this time one of the neighbors spied her thro the window in a light blaze and seizing a rug, rushed into the house, threw it around her thereby extinguishing the fire. Dr. Hummons was called and he found that a large part of the body was burned, causing her much pain. Her dress was burned to tatters. The presence of mind displayed by the child was something to be marveled at. Cleveland, Ohio. The projected presentation in this city of the objectionable movie film, "The Nigger," was stopped by the action of the State Board of Film Censors, largely through the active and aggressive fight led Harry C. Smith editor of the Cleveland Gazette. He was ably assisted by the local authorities. Mending Our Nets. Negro Students Strike. THE STAR STANDS FIRM. will win more respect in the end of the trying ordeal than the scyophant. Let us be men and stand up as men. You know we are discriminated against and segregated. You know discrimination and segregation is wrong, wrong in principle and in fact. Why not then speak out for men and principles who will do the square thing? To the unjust commissioners, who have petty prejudices and who are anxious to handle and draw the taxpayers money, the STAR says that the Negro is not intruding when he walks into a public place and wants something to eat and pays the required price. Mr. Commissioner of improvement when the Negro goes to the City or Washington park, he does not want to sit by you and hear the music nor swim in the lake by you, but like any other person, he goes there to enjoy the strains of music echoing over the dancing waves or be refreshed by the exhilarating waters of the park bathing or oaring, breathing deeply the cool balmy summer breezes. He is like you, only taking advantage of the public privileges which his hard earned taxes have created. Mr. Commissioner of Finance when you appoint a servant of this county, did you want him to sit in a particular place, do a particular kind of work characteristic of a particular people, to associate with particular persons, or rather did you employ him as the county's servant to give his best efforts in work, efficiency and brain power? Then if you are true public servants why drag your small private petty whims in and about a public office? Why not treat an individual according to his moral and intellectual standing and not publicly put a fence around him or cage him off to himself if he happens to be capable, worthy and can efficiently discharge a public service even though his color be darker than yours? Mr. Commissioners and especially Otto Thum, don't you know that the Union labor law passed in the Council by you as representatives of all the people, giving certain classes of the working-men advantages, privileges and benefits over the rest of the working classes, was an unfair law passed by men, especially unfair to Negro labor? While in office you have given Union labor and all races except the Negro better opportunities and advantages of the public leisure and accommodations, a more complete education in practical handling of the city's electrical, sanitary, plumbing, facilities etc and have given them an unfair share of the public money to the almost utter exclusion of the Negro. It is a shame upon your christianity and civilization to expect the struggling Negro to acquire property, be a good, honest, lawabiding citizen and pay his taxes, when you destroy the very means, whereby such things are made possible to the white man? To offer and give one prominent educated Negro or politican a janitorship or a messenger job at the expense of the Race or in lieu of the just representation due the Race for its 3500 intelligent voter's strength, only puts a premium upon inferiority and the accepting of the jobs lends greater inducement to maintain that inferiority. The Negro wants and will fight and contend until he gets his just portion of jobs and positions in keeping with his occupation, personal refinement, intellectual culture or moral character. To ask or beg more would be ingrates, and to accept less makes cowards out of men. During your term in office, Mr. Otto Thum, you have by your prejudices attempted to make beggars and criminals out of Negroes because you refused them public work to do. You have forgotten you were only elected to that office and that you held it in trust for all the people, and that your personal prejudices should have been kept out. Friends and good citizens will not you help THE STAR to mend our nets? Cover every hole of racial weakness whether made by an internal division or a betrayal of the Negro by members of his own Race. What newspaper, what public man has dared to defy the commissioners and their kind when they have directly and indirectly robbed you and slurred your women? Every man who, single handed has attempted to meet this growing racial opposition has been crushed to powder, and our only hope of any effective result was in the rousing of the actual masses whose interests permanently is opposed to that of the sycophant grafter, thieves and political beggars, to grapple with this tremendous force. Mr. Voter what about your net of Race loyalty and progress? Does it need mending? If so, come with the Colored Protective League and let them assist you. Would you believe that the Negroes in Denver are more aroused over the coming election of the two commissioners and the amendments than at any time since Denver has been a large city? Did you know that they are determined men and women behind the Colored Protective League who know their rights and are willing to go boldly to the front and fight; who are giving up their hard earned money to rent a hall, and pay all legitimate expenses themselves? Do you also know that this league has never changed its objects, nor deviated from the cause originally planned and mapped out by its originators for the protection of the civil, political and industrial rights? And lastly do you know that this same league organized first, was not brought into existence to give any certain person a job nor to hold any person in a job nor to prevent any person from getting a job nor organized at the request of any white politician? It is for these reasons and the especial permanent character of the organization that the STAR reiterates its position to stand and battle with these noble sacrificing men and women, whom neither tempted honor, cajolery, bluffing nor exciting of personal prejudices can change or prevent from doing their duties to the Race. The STAR will not recede one niche from its position; it will not fail at all times to cry aloud from the housetops the dangers and political snares set to trap the Race so that a few can advantage by them. For that reason The Star and Colored Protective League were compelled to sit down and mend some weak places in our racial net. Having accomplished that we invite your attention again to the fact that in Denver there are 3500 Negro voters and their strength and power has been spurned and ignored after election. What does the gaining of the Mountain parks for which you pay taxes mean to you and your laboring son or husband? Did Otto Thum put you or yours to work? NEGRO CITIZENS IGNORED BY CITY OFFICIALS. What does the city shops, city attorney's office, city garage, city yards. public bath house (a place Pitcher uses to perpetuate discrimination) art commission, city auditorium (an aggregation of your taxes), city market, coroner's office, Sand Creek, Steele and County hospitals, poor farm, detention home, Juvenile Court, city park green houses, its barn, its pavillon, museum, Cheesman, Berkeley, Highland, Rocky Mountain, Curtis St., E. 28th Ave., and Washington parks (where commissioner Thum declined to have Negroes grace the water), license, highway, sanitary, plumbing electricaland highway departments, city engineer's and surveyor's offices, sanitary inspection, cleaning streets, digging, excavating, driving sweeper and water wagons, cutting trees and sprinkling in forestry service, hiring teams, cleaning the streets and policing the parks—Yes, all of these positions, what do they mean to the 3500 taxpayers who are good enough to bear and pay out taxes, but never receive any in exchange for good citizenship? Mr. Voter how long will you stand for this treatment, will you join the Colored Protective League and shoulder to shoulder fight with the STAR? Let us sit down and mend our nets here and now. Every set of commissioners offer less and less hope in securing good paying jobs for good, hardworking and capable citizens than their predecessors. Every set tries to outdo the rest in making rules and regulations more inimicable to our well being. We have heeded too long the advice from false and treacherous leadership, that resistance is wrong and that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism. Whenever a manly and intelligent Negro or a Race paper stands up in the community and fights for the rights of the Race, they are cowardly Race traitors, assisted by some unfair prejudiced Caucasian who will try to hammer him into submission or out of existence, at the same time rewarding the Race traitors. Philadelphia, Pa.—A un t Mahala Ayres, aged 114 years, said to be the oldest woman in Philadelphia, died last week. She was preparing to celebrate her 115 birthday on April 12, but death came to her at the Home for the Aged and Infirm Colored People just a few days previous. The STAR thinks that any race of good citizens who have the intelligence, character and property interests such as the Negro of this community holds, that will submit without exhausting every means of redress to the unjust distribution of jobs and positions (when they have 3500 voters to act), and silently permit public segregation without serious objection is worse than cowardly; it is unmanly and ignoble and needs to have the name of "civilised." Every Negro who places his sall, respect and manhood above everything else and who is not willing to bear the ether for a supernumerary job or class. She was born April 12, 1800, on the plantation of John Faucett, near Berlin, Md. Her husband, a waiter amassed considerable property before he died, so she was always FIVE CENTS A COPE end of the trying ordeal than stand up as men. You against and segregated. You negotiation is wrong, wrong in that then speak out for men and are thing? To the unjust commodities and who are anxious towers money, the STAR says that he walks into a public place and pays the required price. When the Negro goes to one does not want to sit by you at the lake by you, but like any enjoy the strains of music or be refreshed by the exhilarating or oaring, breathing breezes. He is like you, only public privileges which his hard Mr. Commissioner of Finance this county, did you want him to a particular kind of work people, to associate with participatory employ him as the county's brain work, efficiency and brain public servants why drag your mind about a public office? Why hang to his moral and intellect-out a fence around him or cage them to be capable, worthy and public service even though his color Commissioners and especially that the Union labor law passed representatives of all the people, working-men advantages, privet of the working classes, was especially unfair to Negro late given Union labor and all opportunities and advantages commodalons, a more complete ring of the city's electrical, sanitized have given them an unfair the almost utter exclusion of christianity and civilization to acquire property, be a good, and pay his taxes, when you desuch things are made possier and give one prominent ednitorship or a messenger job in lieu of the just representa- no intelligent voter's strength, seniority and the accepting of merit to maintain that inferiorial fight and contend until he and positions in keeping with cement, intellectual culture or beg more would be ingrates, words out of men.

THE NEW WAV 50 65 SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson IV.—Second Quarter, For April 25, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xvii, 38-51. Memory Verse, 45—Golden Text, Rom. viii, 31—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The armies of the living God defied and the people of God reproached describes the state of affairs at the opening of this lesson (verses 10, 26, 36). I have just read in the papers of a deficit in each of two mission boards of over $250,000 and of one denomination that has lost 300,000 members in six years. Does there seem to be any parallel, and if so where is the David for the occasion? We have reason to thank God for a man like Rev. William Sunday, who is rescuing more souls from the hands of the enemy and slaying more giants than any other man in America today (May, 1914), as far as we are able to judge, because he has learned how to sling stones with deadly aim in the name of the living God. We cannot but thank God also for such a witness as Daniel Crawford, from the heart of Africa, who has been standing for the living God before the preachers and students and hundreds of thousands of the people of our land. Oh, for more such Davids and Daniels! Who is willing to be another such? How pitiful to see the men of Israel sore afraid and feeling from one defiant Philistine! (Verse 24.) The words of Joshua are applicable, "O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?" (Josh. vll. 8.) David, the shepherd boy, of no account in the eyes of his brethren, found this condition of things when he came to the camp, sent by his father to see how his brethren fared and to bring them some good things from home (verses 15-18), he having returned from being Saul's armor bearer to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem. Elliah, his eldest brother, misjudged him and spoke unkindly to him, but he meekly replied, Is there not a cause? (Verses 28, 29). David's inquiry as to why this man should be allowed to defy God and reproach Israel was told to Saul, and he sent for David, and he said to Saul: "Let no man's heart fall because of him. Thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear. He will deliver me out of his hand" (verses 32-37). Saul armed David with his armor—his helmet, his coat of mall and his sword (what a snapshot that would have made?)—but he could not go thus, for he had not proved it. So he put it all off him, and with his sling and five smooth stones, which he knew how to use, and with his staff in his hand he went forth to meet the giant, the great mass of blaspheming flesh and blood (versees 38-40). The giant disdained him and cursed him, which is about the way that flesh always acts toward the spirit, or mocks, as Ishmael did Isaac (versees 41-44; Gen. xxI, 6; Gal. v, 17). How grand are the words of David, "I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defiled" (verse 45). The invisible God was much more real to David than this visible giant, who made Israel to tremble. He reminds us of Caleb and Joshua, to whom giants and walled cities were nothing, because they saw and believed God. Moses also endured as seeing Him who is invisible. Most people, however, see the difficulties and see themselves as grasshoppers (Num. xlii, 33). Then notice David's one desire, that all Israel and all the earth might know the God whom he knew, the living God, the God who could deliver from an actual lion and bear. He had no thought of himself nor desire for any glory for himself, but he honored the Lord, and the Lord did honor him, according to I Sam. 11, 30. It is great to see no man any more save Jesus only and to say from the heart: "The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?" (Mark ix, 8; Pa. xxvll, 1). Nothing can be compared to such a confidence in God as David had. Now see him running toward the giant, placing a stone in his sling, and with a prayer to his God sending it in the name of the Lord of hosts and for the honor of His name. Do you wonder that it went straight and struck hard, sank into the giant's forehead and fell him to the earth? The eyes of all the thousands of Israel and of the Philistines were upon David as he ran to meet his enemy, but he gave that no thought, for his eyes were upon the living God, and God's eyes were upon him, according to II Chron. xvll, 9. David had no weapon, so he ran and stood upon the giant (can't you see him!) and, taking the giant's sword, cut off his head and carried it away in triumph, first to Saul and then to Jerusalem. He took the giant's armor also (verses 48-58). This was all written for your benefit and mine that we might learn to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. I do not understand how neither Saul nor the captain of his host knew who David was, although David had been Saul's armor bearer, but I rejoice to meet Jonathan again and to see him loving David as his own soul and stripping himself of garments and armor to put them upon David (chapter xvii. 1-4). Then I think of Him who loved me and save Himself for me. HATFIELD GIVES RACE SQUARE DEAL West Virginia's Governor Interested in Our Education. LEGISLATURE BACKS HIM State School at Institute Ably Managed by Professor Byrd Prillerman Raised to College Rank on Chief Executive's Recommendation — Commencement Begins May 26. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Much interest has been aroused in educational circles among our people throughout the United States by the fact that the West Virginia Colored institute has been raised from a secondary school to college rank. President Byrd Prillerman, of this institution, has been the recipient of letters of congratulation from many of the leading Negro educators in all sections of the country. On Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1915, both houses of the West Virginia legislature passed a bill without a dissenting vote, changing the name of the institution to the West Virginia Collegiate institute and authorizing it to do college work and also extension work. Too much credit cannot be given Governor BYRD PRILLERMAN. H. D. Hatfield, who recommended to the legislature in his annual message that such a change be made. The governor is very thoroughly interested in Negro education and has taken advantage of every opportunity to demonstrate this interest. The movement among the colored people of the state to have this college established was led by Professor J. W. Scott, principal of the Douglass school, Huntington, W. Va. It is highly creditable to the race in the state that it was for one time almost unanimous in the effort and plans for this college course. The school is just completing a new dining hall, which will have a seating capacity of 500. It is a three story brick building and thoroughly fireproof. When completed it will be the finest school dining hall to be found in the state of West Virginia. The state board of control, of which the Hon. James S. Lakin is the president, deserves much commendation for the impartial manner in which it has managed the financial affairs of this institution. The board has thoroughly demonstrated that it is highly in favor of the Negro youth of the state having the very best facilities for education. The summer school at this institution will begin on Monday, June 14, and continue for six weeks. Some of the ablest speakers in the country have been secured to direct the work of the summer school session, which from the very beginning of this special opportunity afforded teachers to better equip themselves for their chosen work has been a popular success. It is already dawning upon the teachers in the city and country schools of the state that since the West Virginia Colored institute has been raised to college rank they should bestir themselves to make the pupils in the schools which they teach more proficient in their studies. The idea is also gaining in public favor that these urban and rural schools should fit pupils to enter the West Virginia Collegiate institute. Professor Byrd Prillerman has won his spurs as an educator upon merit. He has been prominent in the work of education in West Virginia for a good many years, and by his loyalty to the institution of which he is the honored head he has won a wide reputation as a constructive genius in bringing things to pass for the advancement of his race. He is one of the officials and strong promoters of the Land Grant college movement, of which his fellow educators have seen fit to make him the presiding officer. The raising of his school at Institute, W. Va., to college rank is at once a high recognition of his ability and service on the part of Governor Hatfield. Unusual interest will be manifested in the commencement festivities at the new collegiate institute this year, and as an indication of this fact the United States commissioner of education, the Hon. P. P. Claxton, has already been engaged to deliver the address to the graduating class. Commencement work will begin on Wednesday, May 26.

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.

You Can Save Him With Your Mite The Ministerial Alliance, assisted by the People's Sunday Alliance, are appealing to the men and women in Denver and out in the state and outside of this state to save the life of their fellow man, who is condemned to die May 13. Money is needed to take his case to Supreme court. He did not have a fair trial and he is helpless, penniless and friendless, yet he is some mother's son and some sister's brother. Will you send your contribution to T. S. Rector, 2712 Wetton St., Denver, Colo., treasurer. To the Editor of Denver Star: I congratulate you for the manly stand you have taken for the organization known as the Colored Protective League, which has for its purpose the betterment of the condition of our people. I am an old citizen of Denver and a taxpayer and have seen our people engage in politics from year to year for 30 years, and they have done nothing for the reason that they were too selfish or too ignorant. They have been satisfied to get a job, and to get it they have been ready and willing to fuss and quarrel with every one who would not help them to get the job, and to get the cheap notoriety of being leaders. That class of colored men and women are of no value to the race. They are too selfish to help any others of the race but themselves. They claim a mortgage on everything to be given out and if any one disputes their claim they attempt to defend themselves by saying how long they have been here, etc., and they therefore are entitled to all the plums. Mr. Townsend is the only man who has come among us who has shown that he is thoroughly interested in all the people, and he is not after a job, but is trying to help as many as her can get positions. Besides that, his organization is for the protection of our civil rights after the present political campaign, a thing needed more than all the political jobs. The people are not fools; they know those people who oppose him in his efforts; they know that they are the old chronic office seekers—many of them have not done a day's work in twenty years. They live by office and "fluence" with the colored people. Down with that crowd. Stand by the men and women who have started a new movement to help the race. I know that old crowd will die hard. The people are reading your paper and commending the noble stand you have taken for a new deal and a fair deal against the chronic office seekers' organizations and for all the people. Why did they not start the good movement? Why did they wait for Mr. Townsend to start it—then as soon as he did, try to take it away from him. All honor to the Star and to Mr. Townsend for your great efforts. Keep it up and the colored people will rise up and call you blessed, for the people are with you. AN OLD TIMER. Mr. Old Timer, whoever you are, The Star sincerely appreciates your words of encouragement at this time. The Star decided long ago to fight for the people, the real horny-handed, hard working people whose money supports the Star. In this fight we have doubtless made lots of enemies, persons whose friendship and words of advice and encouragement we have heretofore highly appreciated, but friends or no friends. The Star has a duty, sees it and is willing to die for the people discharging our trust. We have been called into question in a friendly manner, yet positive in its ultimate effect, by a few who really misunderstand us and our policy and yes, by a few WHO ARE BEING MISLEED BY SOME SHREWD POLICIANS. Mr. Old Timer, while we sincerely appreciate your kind words. we wonder if you belong to the organization and take the Star which you think is doing so nobly. However, we especially appreciate the sentiment contained, when we are being so thorny tried. We shall try to do and be all you have said about us. Thank you. YOUR CHILD'S COUGH IS A CALL FOR HELP.

The following ode, written by Mme. French, was sung by the audience to the tune of "America." We meet to praise thee here. Thy memory we hold dear, Thee we revere. Thy deeds so nobly done Our freedom for us won. Thine image in our hearts Shall dwell for aye. We know what you endured That freedom we procured, For those enslaved. In those days dark and drear, When all was fraught with fear, You for the cause so dear The dangers braved. Our voices now we raise In this hymn of praise, Our ode to thee. Long may thy memory live, May we all honor give To thee, whose valiant work The slave set free. METHODIST CHURCH NOTES. Baltimore Congregation Host of C. M. E. Annual Conference. Baltimore.—The annual conference of the Colored M. E. church opened at the Galllee C. M. E. church on Mounst street, this city Wednesday, April 21, with Bishop L. H. Hoisey presiding. The conference embraces churches in Virginia, West Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland and New Jersey. A large attendance of ministers and laymen were present at the opening session. Prominent officials of the denomination, bishops and ministers from con- A. ferences are among the speakers. The congregation of Galilee church recently entered their new church, which will be formally dedicated during the conference session.

"PORO" ```markdown ``` EFFECTS OF THE EUROPEAN WAR ON COLOR PREJUDICE Before the war, the report says, it would have been impossible for a negro to join a white regiment in England, let alone one of the proudest and most famous of the crack regiments. The fact of Slim's acceptance is a strong indication of the democratic effects of the war. Slim was in France when the war broke and joined the French foreign legion. Wounded in battle, he was sent to a hospital, where he expressed the wish to join Kitchener's new army. Word was sent to Kitchener, with the result that he was allowed to enroll in the Coldstreams. Slim is now (March 29) training with the reserve battalion at Windsor. Activities of the Sunshine Circle. The Sunshine circle of the Bridge Street A. M.

Omaha, Neb.-The Spanish-American war brought the Negro race into prominence and placed its name in history as perhaps no other event has since the civil war. Reference to the Ninth and Tenth United States cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth United States infantry is always a source of pleasure to any member of the race. They fought bravely and, in the language of a noted pricefighter, "brought home the bacon." Among the men who were classed as heroes at that time is Quartermaster Sergeant Isaac Bailey, who is retired on pay after thirty years' service. He is enjoying life in his beautiful residence in one of the best sections of Omaha. Sergeant Bailey ranks with those who saved the rough riders and left to America Theodore Roosevelt. He was near Colonel Roosevelt when his horse was shot from under him. He was on the firing line and in the advance guard that planted on San Juan hill Old Glory. He has made his record, and of him the race is proud. He is a native of Texas and at an early age desired to be a soldier. He took delight in organizing the boys into military companies and drilling them with sticks for guns. Just as soon as he was old enough he applied at a recruiting office for an opportunity to join a 64 regiment of soldiers. This was granted him July 10, 1883, when he enlisted in the Ninth cavalry. Just a little more than a year after his enlistment he was required to do actual duty, because he was assigned to do scout duty December, 1884, after Indians who had murdered two families near the Rio Grande river in Mexico. He was in the campaign of 1885 and 1886 against Geronimo and his band of desperading Apache Indians. Concerning this the report of the detachment commander says: "Aug. 28, 1886, First Sergeant Isaac Bailey and Corporal Richard Miller, Troop B, Tenth cavalry, for their courage and determination in a very daring effort to capture an Indian outlaw on the San Carlos reservation were recommended by Lieutenant J. B. McDonald, who was an eyewitness." There also followed another special mention of bravery and special service in Arizona in pursuit of hostile Indians in 1887. Sergeant Bailey was recommended for a certificate of merit by Lieutenant C. P. Johnson. July 9, 1888, he was honorably discharged. No time was lost by Mr. Bailey, because July 10 he re-enlisted and was on scout with General Corbin setting Moqui Indian troubles at Keenes canyon, Arizona. July 9, 1893, he was again honorably discharged by expiration of service. He immediately enlisted for another term. It was in this term that he forged to the front and made his reputation as a soldier. He was in the following engagements: Las Guasimas, June 24, 1898; went to the rescue of rough riders, siege of Santiago, July 1 to 17, 1898. July 9, 1898, while in the trenches before Santiago de Cuba, by expiration he was again discharged with the same word. "Excellent." Sergeant Bailey showed conspicuous gallantry in assault on Spanish intrenchments in Santiago de Cuba July 1, 1898. He was commended and received a medal of honor. Every time Sergeant Bailey was discharged he re-enlisted again until the final discharge, when he was retired. It is interesting to note the events in his career as a soldier. Here are some of them: As courier he carried a dispatch from Fort Thomas, Ariz., to Willow Creek, thence to Fort Apache, Ariz., a distance of 130 miles in seventeen hours; he rode from Dunlap's ranch, on the Yavapai river, to Fort Thomas, thence to San Carlos, Ariz., a distance of eighty-five miles, in twelve hours; he rode from Fort Apache to San Carlos by trail, a distance of sixty-five miles, in ten hours. World Says Revenue-Collector Stood the Test. New York.-In its issue of Thursday, April 1, the New York World praises the administration of the office of collector of internal revenue for the Second district of New York by Charles W. Anderson, asserting that in Mr. Anderson's work his race may be judged by its fruits. The World goes on to say: Charles W. Anderson goes out of office today after holding for ten years this responsible post under the treasury. Many millions of dollars have passed through his hands. His dealings have been practically all with white men of the keenest intellect and of substantial business standing. Capacity and courtesy have been the qualities most remarked in his conduct of an office maintained always in the highest efficiency. In Collector Anderson's time three complicated and important new revenue measures—the income tax, the corporation tax and the war revenue tax—have made this office the most difficult, as it is the most important, ever held by a colored man under the government. He has stood the test. No race is fairly judged by holding up as types for reprobation its most degraded specimens. Every race has the right to be judged by its patient, tolling, useful average and by its best. THE LATE PERRY CARSON. General J. S. Clarkson's Opinion of Well Known Race Leader. On seeing a sketch of the life and political activities of the late Colonel Perry H. Carson in a recent number of the Washington Sun, General James S. Clarkson, former surveyor of the port of New York and Colonel Carson's intimate personal friend, in a letter to J. E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y., writes as follows: I am much obliged for your kindness in sending me the Washington Sun, with the short sketch of dear old Perry Carson. The sketch is good as far as it goes and, in some particulars, is fine and valuable, but it is not a title of what ought to be written of Carson's great life and his great works, for he was one of the strongest and most useful of the men of your race in America. And, while there are still left some of the men who knew him and his many deeds of usefulness back to 1800 or before, some one should write well and appreciative of his life as much as the kind of your people and of all people as for justice to the dear and splendid old man, for he was one of the great figures and great doers in the long conflict from 1850 to 1865 and later. His papers and correspondence must be somewhere, and in them a great deal that is valuable to history. He worked with Fred Douglass, and they lived near each other in Washington. I knew Perry in my earlier years, with the latter on the Republican national committee, during which intimacy Perry and I became as close as brothers. He often told me of interviews and conferences with Douglass. In many respects he was the equal of Douglass, and in many practical works for the benefit and uplift and self respect of the race he with Douglass. I was a friend of the race, and it came to getting down close to the people and helping and guiding them toward a better and higher life. With him and Mr. Cuney of Texas I served twelve years on the national committee and so came to know their great value to their people and through them to their country. I never had two friends whom I respected more highly or for whom I learned to have greater affection. DEATH OF EDWARD H. WOODS Promising Young Educator Passes Away at Home in Brooklyn. Edward Howard Woods, former principal of the St. Augustine Industrial school near St. Augustine, Fla., died at his home, 600 Warwick street, Brooklyn, on Thursday, April 1, in the thirty-second year of his age. Mr. Woods was educated in Brooklyn and was well known in Y. M. C. A. and athletic circles. He was a close student and gave promise of winning his laurels in educational work for the race. He chose the south for his field and while at the head of the school above named impressed his earnestness and ability upon both students and the people of the community. At the close of the school term in 1914 Mr. Woods returned to his home in Brooklyn and was actively engaged in literary work with a view of returning to Florida in the event the trustees of the school raised sufficient funds to carry on the work. This, however, was not done, so it seems, and Mr. Woods severed his connection with the institution. Besides a widow and three small children, the deceased is survived by a mother and father, two sisters and two brothers. One of his sisters is a teacher in public school 64 in Brooklyn, and the other is organist for a Baptist church. Mrs. E. H. Woods, widow of the deceased, is also interested in educational work and was of great assistance to her husband at the Florida school. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Green of Plainfield, N. J. Hampton Institute's Good Fortune. The Pheips-Stokes fund has recently appropriated $2,000 to establish at the Hampton (Va.) institute a "fund for religious education," the income of which will be used to defray the expenses of ministers' conferences, special preachers or lecturers on religious or moral themes. Bible instruction or other purposes which, in the judgment of the Hampton trustees, "will advance a deeper, more reasonable and more effective Christian character and life" among the members of the Hampton school and its constituency.

The minute you feel pain or soreness in a joint or muscle, bathe it with Sloan's Liniment. Do not rub it. Sloan's penetrates almost immediately right to the seat of pain, relieving the hot, tender, swollen feeling and making the part easy and comfortable. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. Buy a bottle today. THE STAR IS THE ONLY NEGRO REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN COLORADO.

BIRMINGHAM TO BE HOST OF SUNDAY SCHOOL FOLK Alabama Metropolis Gets Tenth Annual Session of National Religious Body. Birmingham, Ala. — Assurances are given here by the secretary of the Sunday school congress from Nashville, Tenn., that several new innovations will take place during the tenth annual session of that organization, which is to convene in this city June 9. One of the attractive features will be the Young Men's Christian Glee club of Shreveport, La., which is perhaps one of the most compact religious singing organizations in the United States. While it is not the first singing organization that has agreed to visit the congress at Birmingham this year, it is perhaps one of the largest. The club petitioned the congress officials to be allowed to appear. The Rev. Gus Williams is the president of the glee club. The petition of the club to be allowed to serve on the program is signed by city pastors of Shreveport, such as Rev. A. H. Samuels, president of the Thirteenth District association; Rev. J. M. Carter, Rev. J. M. Harvey, L. Allen, Jr., E. S. Styles and Charles M. Blounon, a practicing attorney of Shreveport. Another organization that has written to be placed on the program is the Ebenezer quartet of Austin, Tex. This quartet has gained a distinction that no other quartet of ladies in the United States has in doing religious work. They have furnished music each year for the St. John encampment, perhaps the largest gathering of religious state workers in the United States. The congress secretary, who was in this city recently, declared that there has never been as much interest in the meeting as is already evident and that from his visit he has gained information that Birmingham will furnish the necessary entertainment. Brazier Goto Verdict in Theater Case. Walter J. Brazier was awarded a verdict of $100 against the Fulton theater at Hempstead, N. Y., because the managers of the theater recently red him from an orchestra seat for which he held a ticket on the ground that he was a colored man and not entitled to equal privileges in public places of amusement with citizens of other races. oah: x Mrs. Lillie B.
