Denver Star

The "Denver Star" has the Largest Circulation among the Colored People—Get Wise and Ac The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 Interesting Concerning the Kingston, N. C.—A white girl, 20 years old, connected by blood with the leading families of Green county, was recently married to one of the most prominent young white men in this section, compelling him to marry on a charge of seduction. She gave birth to a baby a few days ago. When the physician examined the infant, he discovered that it bore evidence of Negro parentage. Bemidli, Minn.—Through the efforts of Mrs. Charles W. Scrutchin, wife of the noted race attorney of that name the "Clansman" by by Tom Dixon has been removed from the Public Library. The library board is composed entirely of white women, but the attorney's wife had sufficient influence with them to have the obnoxious volume removed. Minnesota is pleased to be among the states to give the persistent Tom Dixon a knockout blow. Whites Get Life Term for Slaying Negro. Little Rock, Ark.—W. R. Fisher, Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes, white, each about twenty-five years old, were recently sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Angus Neeley, aged Negro, near Wrightville, December 15, 1914. The evidence was entirely circumstantial and robbery was given as the motive. These sentences, court officials say, mark an epoch in Arkansas criminal jurisprudence. Nine of the Race to Graduate from Yale. A report has reached here from New Haven, Conn., that nine young men of the race will graduate from the various departments of Yale University. This will be the largest number to finish this noted institution in a single year. Yale is one of the big universities that does not encourage race men to matriculate there, and men of the race who go four years and finish deserve the highest commendation and praise. The finishing of these nine men should encourage others to go to Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Cornell universities. Men of pluck can make their way through if only given a semblance of a chance. The race as a whole congratulates the nine men and hope they will "make good" in their chosen professions. This is an age of preparedness, and from such universities come men well equipped for life's battle Ev-Slaves Entertained by the Sons of Their Owner. Marshallville, Ga.—Eleven aged Negroes, six women and five men former slaves, were guests at dinner on May 8 in the home of E. B. Baldwin, whose father was the owner of the slaves. Baldwin and his brother, W. P. Baldwin, put on aprons and acted as waiters. After the ex-slaves were ushered into the dining room and seated at the table, W. P. Baldwin offered a prayer of thanksgiving. The old folks made speeches, one of the oldest women giving a strong temperance talk. After the dinner was over one of the men expressed the sentiments of all when he said: "Ef I allers felt as good as I do now I'd nebber want ter go ter hebben." The dinner was prepared by the best cook Mr. Baldwin could find in South Georgia. Reaping A Harvest Colored Protective League and Star Pick Winners. All Elected Candidates Will Keep Pledges. This Year Epoch Making for Negro Solidarity. League's Political School a Success. There are elementary things so simple and so evident in this life that the most stupid need not be ignorant of them. Poverty and starvation are of this kind. It is not a question of persons, race or color: it is a question of flesh and blood, which the little flower and the big oak tree need and seek, as is the custom of the smallest child and the largest person. Where color and race lines are drawn in the bread and butter line, especially when your taxes are supporting the discriminators, as the school directors and the city commissioners have drawn it anywhere and nearly everywhere, it was time for some kind of an organization to form itself for the protection and preserving of the Negro race and its ideals The doctor accused the girl of miscegenation and she confessed that Simon Carraway, a black man, a farm hand on her mother's farm, was the father of her child. Carraway has disappeared, but the authorities declare they will protect him and are looking for him. He is 35, and the head of a family. He is charged with parentage, in connection with the girl. The school directors and the city commissioners, especially Otto Thum, who was buried so deeply Tuesday that he may wake up in - the mornlng - declared war upon the Negro and his labor by saying, "We will let ours live by jobs and positions of the tax payers money, but you and yours may starve and die, although we came of the same roots and are grafts living in the same situation. The Colored Protective League formed itself to save the Negro, enlisted Dr. Sharpley, Greenlee and H. B. Teller as worthy warriors in whom the Negro placed his hope and faith and behind whom he placed his strength and ballots. The candidates sowed seeds of kindness, good will and fair consideration and faith in the public, and as a consequence they reaped a harvest of votes at the polls from not only Negroes, but their friends. It pays to sow not only the right kind of seeds, but due notice should always be taken of the kind of soil into which the seeds fall. Such was the case of the victorious candidates. Our last words to the elected candidates, is, please cultivate your crop, as there will be another planting and reaping day some where sometime. Remember that THE STAR is the only paper that took a position for and against candidates and amendments. Kindly put a pin in that. The citizens of the neighborhood say that the girl must leave the community and they will pay her expenses away, it is reported. Jacks onville, Fla.—Bob Armstrong, ex-trainer of Jack Johnson, has opened a cold drink establishment in the lobby of the new Globe Theater. Bob is to develop a local policeman prize fighter who aspires to the heavyweight championship. The state legislature has passed a law debarring lawyers of the race from practicing in this state. Negro Woman Wins From Traction Company. Chester, Pa.—The Southern Pennsylvania Traction Co., will have to pay the award of $2,500, won by Rachel J. Fields, a Negro woman, of Chester, who fell in getting off a train, injuring her knee. The traction company appealed for a new trial, but the court rendered an opinion on Monday, refusing quest. "The Clansman" Removed from a Public Library. Success has been to the League because doctors, lawyers, hod carriers, servants of all class and type, men and women, linked arms and touched elbows alike and made success come in the school election and in the recent election by picking Sharpley, Greenlee and Teller and instructing for a favorable vote on amendment, which put Martin and Crawford in office. The League did not only endorse candidates, but it gave employment to fifty women, who attended school at Nippon hall, where instruction was given them to show voters how to vote for their candidates. To much credit cannot be given to the League and all the officers and committees for the good work they assisted in accomplishing. This activity was only a skirmish, the real battle for our rights lay just ahead of us between elections The League has just begun its work with a worthy and spirited start. League has just forced the entering wedge of unity, race cohesiveness and undertaking into the Denver community life. Will you assist them to carry out their program of protection by coming up and joining the League, which did more in the recent elections to bring the candidates, who came before them, out in the spotlight of fairness and and justice to the Negro, than any other single agency? The fight has just begun and they need your assistance. Make this organization grow and flourish. There is no other body in Denver which can do its work. Join and help in the good cause. THE STAR advised correctly in all bond issues which were defeated, as was single tax, double platoon system, to abolish Moffat tunnel commission (carried) to lower taxes (carried) and lost by advising against retaining civil service; and by advocating 23rd & Welton Sts. market; and advising against Home Rule. The people seemed o have followed THE STAR's advice generally. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1915 Mme. Hackley In Springfield, Ills. Springffeld, Ill.—The native poetry in the soul of the race was given adequate expression last week at the state arsenal, where 2,000 young men and women sang folk songs and gave themselves completely over to the joy of singing. The festival was presented under the auspices of the Springfield Colored Women's club, and was directed by Mme. E. Azalia Hackley. The quality of harmony peculiar to the race and characterized by a sort of plaintive beauty completely charmed he 2,000 listeners and especially the while portion of the crowd, of which there were many. Nothing of the sort attempted last week has ever been done in this city, so far as is commonly remembered, and its success seems to indicate that the festival may be made an annual affair. The program had in it throughout a strain of the religious element, most of the choral numbers being anthems from church hymnology. This the leaders claim, is the true folk singing of the race and reflects their nature in a way not observed in the minstrel songs from the amusement platform. The solo work was done by persons, all of whom reside in the city, and its quality, accuracy and softness were a credit to persons of greater reputation. Thd chorus singing showed intense application throughout the three weeks in which Mme. Hackley had the chorus in charge, for the attacks and the diminuendos were made with perfect control. The singers appeared to enjoy their work immensely and threw themselves wholeheartedly into every number. Otto Thum led the opposing forces and was vanquished, and our Generals and victors whom the League and STAR picked, are now receiving great wreaths and laurels. It was no easy battle for the STAR nor the League to win and have the pledges made good. The elected candidates have given the officers of the League their word of honor to fully recognize the organization. Already grave responsibilities and problems face the League, brought on by members of the organization, some of whom have gone to the elected candidates and attempted to tell them that after the league had endorsed them and went on record for them publicly, they surreptitiously worked for some unendorsed man. Think of one of the so-called leaders doing that! The elected candidate only re affirmed his allegiance to the League. THE STAR can never forget the words of truth and encouragement which came from the lips of Dr. W. H. Sharpley, nor can Mr. Greenlee's words of hope which ring in our ears yet, ever be forgotten by us, as well as the promises for just treatment by the worthy and estimable gentleman and lawyer, H. B. Teller of the election commission. Bert Martin is personally known to us and we can safely say he is on the square always' and we expect him to help us out in getting our share of the patronage. THE STAR and the League believe in these men and their words of good cheer and substantial worth. To the League, THE STAR wishes to congratulate your president upon whom all kinds of attacks were made from without and from within, using personal and private affairs to destroy his influence, yet through it all he has come out on top. THE STAR, like many others, may not agree with him in every thing he says and does, but we do believe he is honest in his race movement and his heart is in the work. African Union Co. buys Mahogany Trees. It is reported that the African Union Company, an importing company composed of colored business men, has purchased 18,000 mahogany trees in Liberia. These trees will be sold to American manufacturers at a cost estimated to be several million dollars. Mr. Jos. L. Jones of Cincinnati, Ohio, is the secretary. Men and women of Denver, the Colored Protective What The Minneapolis Appeal Says About Denver Organization. An organization known as the Colored Protective League of Colorado has been formed in that state, with the following objects: 1. The lessening of racial ppejudice. 2. The material advancement of colored people. 3. Legal redress for colored persons who are persecuted. 4. A local bureau of information. 5. The study of local social and economic conditions. 6. Efforts to gain a square deal from the press. Efforts to lessen racial discrimination and to secure all civil and political rights to colored citizens. That is a good program and THE APPEAL wishes the organization success. NEW LITERARY SOCIETY ORGANIZED IN NEW YORK. Known as Friends of Shakespeare—C. M. Moloney Elected President. There has been organized in New York city by a group of young women and men of studious habits and literary ambition a society called the Friends of Shakespeare, the object of which is not only the study of the works of the immortal bard, but to produce his plays from time to time. The Friends of Shakespeare will also make researches into the best Negro literature and discuss the merits of the works of Negro authors. These young men and women are of an exceptionally high order of intelligence, and among them are many very able speakers and writers. The example which this organization is setting the young men and women of the race elsewhere is worthy of all praise and should be emulated by similar groups of thoughtful and studious young Negroes throughout the country. The president of the Friends of Shakespeare is an eloquent and forceful speaker. The club held an election on Sunday, May 9, in its rooms, 129 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, and re-elected all of its officers save two for the ensuing year as follows: C. M. Moloney, president; C. M. Ruswurm, vice president; C. M. Penny, secretary; Miss L. B. Sands, assistant secretary; G. Gittings, manager; Mr. Hogan, critic; Mr. Cross, librarian; J. M. Williams, parliamentarian; Miss Blanchard, lady critic; James Corby, master of the court. On May 13 the club celebrated its first anniversary with a musical and literary entertainment, at which were gathered a host of its friends in New York city and its environs. John E.

Residence, 235$^{6}$ Humboldt St. A splendid audience was present at the morning service last Sabbath and the pastor's sermon, from the subject "Sowing and Reaping," was received with marked attention and interest. At the close of the service two were added to the membership of the church. The very inclement weather last Tuesday night operated to reduce the attendance at the Men's Bible class. The pastor hopes to see all the men in their places next meeting. Rev. J. P. Howard, evangelist of the A. M. E. church, preached at the mid-week service last Wednesday evening. Brother Howard has many friends in Zion who always welcome his coming among us. A very splendid sermon was enjoyed. At the close of the meeting the rite of baptism was administered to Sister Bessie Simpson. The Woman's Bible class is enjoying very interesting lessons every Thursday afternoon between 2:30 and 3:30. Every lady in the community is welcome and invited to be present. The purpose of the work being done is to make real in life the promises of the word of God. The Teacher Training class is setting itself earnestly to grapple with the problems growing out of the study of the laws governing mental development and activity. A thorough-going knowledge of psychology, the science of mind, will better equip our teachers to render the kind of service which the conditions of modern society demand. This is the aim in our Sunday school. The superintendent, with committees, is planning to make Children's day an occasion to be remembered in our school this year.

WATSON Members of Important Department of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Audit Books of the Secretary and Find Accounts Correct. Large Sums Raised. Washington.—The recent meeting of the church extension board at the headquarters, 1535 Fourteenth street, N. W., in this city, revealed the wonderful work which is being done by the African Methodist Episcopal church through this department under the direction of one of the most business-like ministers in the whole connection, the Rev. Dr. B. F. Watson. When Bishop C. T. Shaffer was elevated to the episcopacy in 1900 at Columbus it was then that the church selected Dr. B. F. Watson to the position of secretary of the Church Extension society, and he has been re-elected at each general conference since and perhaps will be continued in the office during his active life. He has made a special study of the work and is one of the best posted men in the whole church. He has managed well the department, the assets of which are over half a million. During his administration Dr. Watson has introduced many new features which have meant much to the church. Perhaps none fill a more important place than the taking up and saving or selling abandoned property and using the proceeds for missions. Many dollars have been realized in this way. The board which met to audit the books and make appropriations and look into every detail of the department is composed of Bishop L. J. Coppin, Philadelphia, chairman; Rev. B. F. Watson, D. D., Washington, corresponding secretary; Revs. A. R. Coop M. REV. DR. B. F. WATSON. er, Brooklyn; R. H. W. Leake, Raleigh, N. C.; J. T. Gibbons, Huntington, W. Va.; H. E. Stewart, Chicago; F. Jesse Peck, San Francisco; N. P. Talbert. Cuthbert, Ga.; D. A. Christie, Anderson, S. C.; W. D. Lewis, Jonestown, Miss.; J. F. Griffin, Mobile, Ala.; W. D. Miller, Waco, Tex.; E. W. Byrd, Jacksonville, Fla.; James Jones, Pine Bluff, Ark.; and O. W. Hackley, Toronto, Ont. Dr. B. F. Watson, after introducing a number of visitors, made his annual report to the board, giving an account of every cent passing through his office, the donations made to the churches together with the loans. These items ran up into thousands of dollars and demonstrated the business ability of the secretary. The fiscal year closed with these results: From dollar money, $15,994.86; loans, $649.41; interest on loans, $1,735.92; Children's day, $5,180.21; special on Children's day programs, $420.08; total, $23,980.48. Forward from 1914, $21,752.88; expended on loans, donations and expenses, $25,847.42. The report of the auditing committee showed that it had carefully examined the books and vouchers and found every cent accounted for. The committee voiced the sentiments of the entire board in expressing a desire to have the general conference continue Dr. Watson in the position because of the services rendered to the church. Death has broken the ranks of the board by taking Rev. W. H. Jones of Gurdon, Ark., and in his place the Rev. Dr. James Jones of Pine Bluff was nominated by Bishop Chappelle and was elected. During the year Mrs. B. F. Watson had also died. For both memorial services were held which closed the session of the board. Mrs. L. J. Coppin, the wife of Bishop Coppin, was introduced and delivered a short address. She expressed great pleasure in entering the work of the African Methodist Episcopal church and said she was ready and willing to work and do anything in her power for the cause. She was given an ovation. Among the others who addressed the board were Professor J. R. Hawkins, financial secretary, and Dr. J. T. Jennifer of Chicago, historian. What He Has Accomplished as Minister and Field Agent. Baltimore.—One of the most prominent men of our race in the M. E church is the Rev. Dr. L. L. Thomas of this city, who for ten years has been the field agent of the board of home mission and Church Extension society of the M. E. church. He was elected to this office from the Sharpe Street M. E. church here, of which for three years he had been the pastor. Dr. Thomas is well known in M. E. circles, and before becoming a general officer of the church was pastor of some of the most prominent churches in the connection. He was once pastor of Asbury M. E. church in Washington. During his administration there he remodeled the church and parsonage and added over 500 members to the church during his pastorate of six years. Dr. Thomas was born in Maryland and was educated in the public schools and Morgan college, Baltimore. He took his theological course at Howard university. He has reflected credit on the church and race in his present office and is one of the foremost churchmen of the connection. Dr. Thomas is now calling the communicants' attention to the observance of the semicentennial of the home mission board, which will occur in the very near future. INFLUENCE OF DR. A. J. CAREY Chicago Minister Speaks Against Intermarriage Bill at Springfield, Ill. Through his own efforts alone, it is said, and by his logical and eloquent presentation of the case the Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. church, Chicago, defeated the bill recently offered by Senator Coleman of the Illinois state senate to prohibit the intermarriage of white and colored Americans. The bill had been referred to the committee of the whole, and the Rev. Mr. Carey, who happened to be in Springfield, was invited by Senator Dalley of Peoria to make a speech against the bill. Mr. Carey had no time for preparation, but as he is always ready to speak against injustice he hurried to the senate chamber and made one of the most masterly addresses ever delivered before the Illinois legislature. The bill was defeated by a unanimous vote of the senators present, the author of the same having gone out of the hall before the vote was taken. Dr. Carey is not only well known as a minister, but is very popular with the masses of our people on account of his loyalty to the best interests of the race along all lines. WOMEN'S CLUBS HOLD LARGE MASS MEETING IN NEW YORK Anti-lynching Department of Northeastern Federation Is Militant. The department for the suppression of lynching connected with the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs held a large protest mass meeting in the Bethel A. M. E. church, New York, on Wednesday evening, April 28. Miss Adena C. E. Minott is head of the department. She gave a very instructive address, in which she set forth the work of the department and urged the audience as individuals to aid whenever possible every agency which stands for right against wrong. The Rev. B. W. Arnett, pastor of the church, offered prayer, and Dr. A. A. Crooke presided. Among the speakers were Attorney James L. Curtis, Miss Florence Kelley, secretary of the National Consumers' league; Rev. W. S. Holder and John E. Robinson, city editor of the Amsterdam News. Miss Minnie Brown, the well known soprano soloist, delighted the audience with selections from S. Coleridge Taylor and H. T. Burleigh's compositions and also led the audience in singing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs was organized in Boston eighteen years ago. There are ninety clubs in the general organization, and the aggregate membership is 8,000. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., educator and philanthropist, is president of the federation, which holds its annual meeting at Allen A. M. E. church, Philadelphia, beginning on Wednesday, July 7. Mrs. Susan L. Amos of New Haven, Conn., secretary, and Mrs. Mary J. Glascoe of Providence, R. L. is the treasurer. Brooklyn May Have Weekly Paper. Under the leadership of Dr. Gladstone M. Hinkson a number of professional young men in Brooklyn are planning to start an eight page weekly, to be known as the Brooklyn Advocate. The first issue is scheduled to appear early in May. The National Negro Press association will gladly welcome the new paper to its membership. Brown Passes Law Examination. Lawyer C. W. Brown of Elizabeth City, N.

Dr. A. L. Murray as a Minister. MAN OF BROAD EXPERIENCE Belief That the African Methodist Episcopal Church Will Further Recognize Services of Dr. Murray by Promotion to Higher Official Rank—Has Labored In Many Fields. Jersey City, N. J.—From farmer and cheesemaker to one of the most aggressive and successful pastors in the African Methodist Episcopal church is the record of the Rev. Dr. A. L. Murray, pastor of Bethel A. M. E church, Jersey City, N. J. He has done a great work, and his worth and ability will yet be recognized by the church by promotion to higher official rank. He was born at Ypsilanti, Mich., in 1863, of Kentucky parents. His mother died when he was but a lad, and he was placed under the care of an aunt who took the part of a mother, and she saw to it that he got his education. His early education was received in the public schools at Charlestown and Greencastle, Ind. He had a desire to obtain a thorough education; hence he did not stop with what he received in the public schools. He entered De Pauw university, from which he graduated with honors after four years' hard work. While a student he made many friends and at the same time a reputation as a scholar. PETER J. HARRIS As a minister of the gospel he has made his own way to the front. During the year 1888 this promising young minister was appointed by the presiding elder to supply at Brazil Ind. When he took charge of the church at Brazil he found three full members and two probationers. He realized that work had to be done, and he rolled up his sleeves and went at it. He got into the confidence of the people and erected a church costing $2,500 and increased the membership to sixty-four. From each charge which he held splendid reports were made. He had not been making much noise, but was doing a substantial work. This caused him to be sought from time to time. It was in 1891, having completed his studies, that Bishop Brown ordained him an elder and transferred him to the Michigan conference, sending him to Jackson, Mich. The foundation had been laid in Jackson for a new church, and this young minister took hold, and it was not long before the building was completed at a cost of $4,000. It was not long before he was returned to Indiana to do some special work there. This was done at Lafayette and Vinceennes under Bishop Wayman. Churches were built, parsonages and in some cases churches were remodeled and many new members were received at each charge. The bishop decided that he was wanted in Indianapolis, so he was assigned to Allen chapel. His real work was done here, because he remodeled the church at a cost of $5,000 and paid for it before he was assigned to another field. His work attracted the attention of Governor James A. Mount, who was loud in his praises of the young minister. Five years were spent in this charge, then Bishop Grant transferred him to the Bethel conference and stationed him at Bethel A. M. E. church, Chicago. During his stay in Chicago the membership of Bethel was increased and some good work was accomplished. He was found foremost in everything that meant progress for his race. He made many friends. He remained there to the time limit of the denomination and was sent from Chicago to Quincy, Ill. where he remained only four weeks. Bishop Arnett having asked for him to go to Atlantic City, N. J. The officers and members of the church received Dr. Murray with open arms, and his plans were soon laid and work begun. The church was erected at a cost of $20,000. He remained there a full term and turned over to his successor one of the prettiest and best buildings in the state of New Jersey. He was appointed presiding elder over the Newark district and served four years. He is now pastor in Jersey City, N. J., where he has made friends and will carry to the annual conference a good report. THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION. Mayor Thompson Signs' Bill Making Aug. 23 Legal City Holiday.

Hampton, Va.—The Hampton institute class of 1890 held its twenty-fifth reunion celebration recently in the Hampton gymnasium, where nearly 2,000 representative white and colored people assembled to hear a folklore concert. Major R. R. Moton, '90, commandant of cadets at Hampton, presided. He announced that the class of 1890 had collected $400, which he was commissioned to place in the hands of Dr. H. B. Frissell to be used for Hampton in any way that the principal saw fit. The class of 1890 numbered forty-four—twenty-seven men and seventeen women. Three men and five women have died. About fifteen members attended the reunion. Several others sent telegrams and checks. William J. Clayton of Washington spoke on the class motto, "Finished, Yet Just Begun." Thomas B. Patterson of Downingtown, Pa., read the original class commencement program; William B. Scott, pastor of Pilgrim church, Red Bank, N. J., told about Dr. Frissell's sermon to his class; Mrs. Estelle M. Evans read the class song; Mrs. Thomas W. Turner called the class roll: Mrs. George A. Melvin, Mrs. Edward H. Speunle and Mrs. John Edward Smith read interesting extracts from the "Southern Workman." Major Moton outlined the story of his recent trip with Dr. Booker T. Washington through the state of Louisiana and his campaign experiences during the middle west tour, where he spoke in the interest of Hampton and the Negro race. More Honors For Mrs. M. A. Clark.

Pitcher, the present commissioner of finance, has been invited to "welcome our wives, daughters and the visiting club women to our city next month," when he stands openly and defiantly for Jim Crowism and denial at the public bath house. What can he say truly from his heart about "welcome" when his every-day acts speak louder than his words? Let us be men and women or let us he mice. How can we ever progress and obtain what is justly ours when our dear women undo what we are trying to build up? Is it fair to us, who, by virtue of our position, are compelled to fight for the race all the time? Withdraw the invitation is The Star's advice. If he daily insults the Negro men and women by publicly drawing the color line on them and on them only, then why should our women honor him by placing him upon the same platform with Governor Carlson? Think over this, ladies. THE USE OF SLANG Even though we are loathe to admit there is some virtue in slang, and the habit of using it has become so fixed upon a great majority of us, that its use even by those who pose as being overly proper, is taken as a matter of course. There is no getting around the fact that certain so-called slang words are more expressive than many long sentences, and in this day and time of hustle and bustle, when every moment seems to count, we hail with joy anything that smacks of brevity. Anyone can verify the fact that the best language in a smoking compartment, on a hotel veranda, at a ball game, theater or a boat's deck is apt to be that which leans heavily on slang. We say "it's a peach, or it's rotten," as the case may be, and the world knows your sentiments immediately. Some slang is vulgar and has no place in our speech, but there are certain words and expressions that have come and come to stay. In comparison with other things done daily to the English language injecting refined slang—if there is such a thing—is a blessing in disguise.—Chicago Defender.

Plain Dealer, which appeared in its issue of Tuesday, April 27, the Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, writes as follows: "In the issue of your paper of Tuesday, April 20, 1915, an Oil City (Pa.) reader of the same made inquiry as to 'What presidential places have been taken from the colored race under the Wilson administration?' Will you please permit me to add the following to the information given your Oil City reader: "Every presidential appointment in the United States diplomatic service abroad, except the ministership to Liberia, Africa; every presidential appointment in the federal service, at home and abroad, except the minor and local one, a judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, held by Negroes, and scores of minor positions in the federal service, even many covered by civil service, held by representatives of this same class of Americans, have been taken from them under the Wilson administration. "In many other cases minor positions, covered by civil service, they have been reduced. This course was successfully pursued in the cases of many others to force their resignations. In all hundreds of Afro-American officeholders have lost positions in the federal service in the last two years under President Wilson's administration. Only the two presidential places named are retained, and they are the only two Afro-American presidential appointments made by the present national administration." SOME FORMS OF RHEUMATISM CURABLE. Rheumatism is a disease characterized by pains in the joints and in the muscles. The most common forms are: Acute and Chronic Rheumatism Rheumatic Headaches, Sciatic Rheumatism and Lumbago. All of these types can be helped absolutely by applying some good finiment that penetrates. An application of Sloan's Liniment two or three times a day to the affected part will give instant relief. Sloan's Liniment is good for pain, and especially Rheumatic Pain, because it penetrates to the seat of the trouble, soothes the afflicted part and draws the pain. "Sloan's Liniment is all medicine."

OUR WOMEN. EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL. Governor Willis of Ohio Opposed to Color Line Legislation. By RALPH W. TYLER. Columbus, O. — Governor Frank B. Willis, the new governor of Ohio, has proved himself to be one of the best friends the colored people have ever had in the executive chair. The governor insists that the race shall have a square deal, nothing less and nothing more. Two bills were recently introduced in the general assembly of Ohio which were regarded as not only inimical, but positively hostile to the race. The first was a sort of omnibus bill regulating and licensing a number of "branches of limited medicine and surgery" and the other to amend the election laws of the state. The first provided that chiropodists and masseurs, among other practitioners, should pass an examination in chemistry, physiology, hygiene, anatomy, bacteriology, etc., before being licensed to practice and that if there existed a state association or society in such "branch of limited medicine or surgery" that organization should name the examiner. There happened to be a state pedic society, which, according to the bill, would have the right to name the examiner who would examine chiropodists. It also happened that this society had drawn the color line—refused to admit colored practitioners as members. When the matter was brought to the governor's attention he insisted that the state of Ohio could not afford to pass any laws discriminatory against any race and intimated that any such law passed could not become a law with his signature. The result was the bill was so amended as to exempt from examination all who had been practicing for a period of five years previous to the passage of the bill, and also amended to deny to the state pedic society, because it had drawn the color line, the right to name an examiner. By setting his foot down flat against discrimination Governor Willis secured protection and justice for the colored people of Ohio. The second bill was that to amend the election law of Ohio. This bill provided that voters on registering must give their color. Prominent colored men complained to the governor that as the bill did not require the voter to state whether he was Jew or gentile. Irish, German or what not it ought not to require American citizens to state their color. The governor agreed and immediately conferred with the author of the bill, with the result that an amendment was offered and adopted striking out the word "color." Governor Willis has let it be understood that he is the governor for all the people, and that the colored people are one of the units that form the whole people, and that this unit must and shall receive exact justice so long as he is governor. NATIONAL LEAGUE DROPS SOCIAL SCIENCE CONTEST. Organization on Urban Conditions Starts New Campaign of Education. New York.—A social science contest was held last year by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People for the purpose of arousing an interest in social science studies and social service among the students of colleges affiliated with the league. Only a few students at three or four of the institutions manifested an interest in the contest, and the executive board has thought it best not to hold the contest this year. The board has decided to use such funds as are available for the time being in enabling Dr. George E. Haynes, the director of the league, to visit several of the colleges to present the claims of social service as a life work and to interview teachers and students interested in the social sciences and social service. In addition to these visits, steps have been taken toward offering scholarships at different colleges which have developed a sufficient number of social science courses. The first of these is open to candidates this year at Nashville, Tenn. The candidates chosen will have an opportunity to study at Fisk university with practical experience in social work in the city. If funds can be secured in subsequent years the plan is to offer other scholarships at other centers that are developing suitable courses of training, and in these efforts the league hopes for the hearty co-operation of all the affiliated colleges. In order to obtain the largest possible number of applicants from whom to choose the "fellows" for New York and the one for Nashville the educational committee of the league has extended the time for receiving applications from April to May 15, 1915. Applications should be mailed at once to Dr. George E. Haynes, care of National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 2803 Seventh avenue, New York. Application blanks will be furnished either by request of your teacher of sociology at your own institution or by writing Dr. Haynes at the above address. Signs of Progress at Camp Nelson, Ky.

ANNIVERSARY OF CALVARY CHURCH LEADER AMONG BAPTISTS. Members of Religious Body Founded Twenty-one Years Age Hold Grand Reunion Celebration For Three Nights—P. M. Morton and Mrs. L. E. Bacon First on Program. Chester, Pa.—Calvary Baptist church recently celebrated its twenty-first anniversary, which attracted widespread interest. It is one of the leading churches in this section of the state, and the pastor, Rev. J. R. Bennett, D. D., stands in the front rank with the ministers of the denomination. Three nights were spent in the anniversary, and each night was freighted with good things. The first night's services were devoted to the old people, and over this meeting P. M. Morton, one of the pioneers in the church, presided. "Calvary Church as I Remember It." was the subject discussed by Mrs. L. E. Bacon. She has been with the church through all of its struggles and congratulated the members on its present condition. She told of each pastor from Dr. Theodore J. B. REV. DR. J. R. BENNETT. Miller down to Dr. J. R. Bennett. The other speakers were Deacon London Corbin and Charles Stewart. The other two nights were spent in a literary program and a sermon by Rev. E. W. Johnson, president of the Pennsylvania Baptist convention. Dr. J. R. Bennett has spent many years of his life in active church work. He was born in Georgia, on a farm, and when but three years old his parents moved to Mississippi. In Mississippi he received his early education in the public schools and then went to Tongaloo university, where his foundation was well laid, and the finishing touch was received at Roger Williams university, Nashville, Tenn. He entered the ministry in 1880 and was ordained on July 27, the same year, in Little Rock, Ark., and accepted a call from the Mount Zion Baptist church in Little Rock, where he remained just one year and then went to Mississippi on account of the illness of his wife. He remained in Mississippi three months and accepted a call to the Baptist church at Prescott, Ark. Dr. Bennett's services were in great demand. After much correspondence he accepted a call from the Cannan Baptist church, Texarkana, Ark. It was in this charge that he became active in the work of the state, taking part in the educational work and raising money for the Arkansas Baptist college. It was in 1889 that he accepted a call from the Ronnoke Baptist church, in Hot Springs, Ark., where he remained fourteen years. Perhaps no man was more interested in all of the state work and contributed more liberally to the national work than did Dr. Bennett, and he constantly entertained the leading men of the country in his home and in his church. Few men visited Hot Springs during Dr. Bennett's stay that did not come in touch with him and receive some courtesies at his hands. He resigned his work in Hot Springs and accepted a call to the Tabernacle Baptist church, Oklahoma City. He remained there long enough to erect a handsome brick church and left it in good financial condition when he resigned to accept the field secretaryship of the National B. Y. P. U. board. He afterward accepted a call to the Nineteenth Street Baptist church, Cairo, Ill. He was able to do a good work in Illinois both at Cairo and Duquoln and then in St. Louis, where he remained several years and resigned to come east. He has been pastor of Calvary Baptist church. Chester, for a little over a year, and he has found his way into the hearts of the people. He has a large following, as well as has added many to the church. He is a hard worker, and right by his side is to be found his wife, Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, who is interested in the work of the National Baptist Women's auxiliary convention and connected with the National Training School For Women and Gifts. What Mrs. Jessie Carter, the acknowledged scalp specialist of Denver is doing for women in Denver. Mrs. Carter has studied the scalp and the care of the hair for the past 10 years, having first learned the trade in Chicago under Mrs. J. Wallace, taken a special course five years ago under Miss Kate McCune, of Denver, Colo., has had a world of experiences with different diseases of the scalp and knows just what to do for dandruff, falling hair, itchy scalp, dry, scaly scalp. Why not take care of your hair? What is more beautiful than a beautiful head of hair? Mrs. Carter guarantees to grow your hair if you follow these directions: First—Keep the scalp clean. One should have a shampoo every two weeks. Should not allow the hair to go longer than three weeks. EMMETT WILLIAMS, Prop The Star Barber Shop 2230 Larimer St. Coughs Kill If You Let Them.

She was carried to Columbus, Ga., and sold to Mrs. Martha Gray; from thence to Knox county, Miss.. where her vid est son was born; thence to Lowudes county, Miss., where two of her dunicl. ters were born; then to Claibotne lu: ish, La., where the third daughter was born, Near Homer, La., in 185) ber mistress, Mrs. Martha Grity, who rear ed her, died.

RECALLS LINCOLN’S TRIBUTE TO THE COLORED SOLDIERS Valor of Our Fighters Gave Race Title to American Citizenship. Jose Clarana writing to the New York World April 15 bas the following to say of Abraham Lincoln and the great emancipator’s tribute to the daring and valor of the colored soldiers who fought in the civil war while Lincoln was com mander in chief: Now that all America. at home and abroad, is mourning Abraham Lincoln It is opportune to recall to x very for getful nation the words of Lincoln biny self with regard to one brane of the army whose victory led to. the assis sination of the commander in chief> “Drive back to the support of the r= bellion the physical force which the colored people nojy give and promise ug and nelther the present nor ny ¢om- ing administration can save the Un jon, Take from us and give to the enemy the one bundred and thirty, forty or fifty thousand colored soldiers. seameh and laborers and we ¢anuot longer maintain the contest.” This defense of the much debated enlistment of colored troops for the maintenance of the Union and the se- turing’of thelr own freedom only sliows the value of their services to the ma- tion. What Lincoln would have done for the freedmen must always remain largely a matter of conjecture, as were his own remarks on the subject, for he always waited to come to his bridges before attempting to cross them, But the wisdom and patience and Justice which always characterized the noble life which was ended by the bul- let of Booth would hardly have per- mitted Lincoln to consider seriously the surmounting of the physical dif_- culties of removing from this country the millions of the freedmen whose sacrifices had given them title to a place in the destinies of the United States. sie ere ee eee Wilh eeepc) pee Dr. William 8.

SUCCESS AMONG BUSINESS WOMEN Fine Record of Dr. Sirporah Turner Noted. ORGANIZER AND EDUCATOR Brief Account of the Struggles and Achievements of a Young Woman Who Has Worked Her Way From Obscurity to Prominence In Professional Life Upon Her Own Resources. Shreveport, La.—One of the most encouraging signs of the progress which the Negro race in America is making in business, the trades and in the various professions is the part which the women of the race are taking along the lines above indicated. There was a time not many years back when men reigned almost supreme in all of the departments of constructive work for racial advancement. The past decade, however, has marked a wonderful change from the old order of things. The activities of women are no longer confined to the domestic affairs of the home nor to any one line of industry. They are taking a broader view of life and are branching out into the trades, business and the professions, ranking in ability and success with the men who are engaged in like occupations or professions. The success of Dr. S. Sirporah Turner, founder and president of the Turner Infirmary and Maternity home in this city, is an evidence of woman's ability to organize and conduct upon strictly business principles large undertakings. In connection with this home is a training school for nurses which affords a splendid opportunity to young women to prepare themselves for the trained nurse's profession. The plans for organizing and establishing the institution were all conceived in the fertile brain of Dr. Turner. She had many difficulties to meet and over- P. DR. S SIRPORAH TURNER. come, however, before the institution was finally established and opened to the public. At one time Dr. Turner was threatened with broken health, but she did not become discouraged. With confidence in herself she showed true womanly qualities and sought recuperation in Denver, where she remained for fourteen months and fully regained her health. She is an honor graduate of the Meharry Medical college at Nashville, Tenn., and as such she reflects the careful training which she received at Meharry in the conduct of the institution over which she presides in this city. The building is well constructed and modern in appointment. Dr. Turner has made a good record here and has the confidence and support of leading churches and ministers as well as the general public in Shreveport and vicinity. The class in nurse training this term consists of eight young women who are making good use of their time. With such a school for young women in this section of the south the race should make health contagious instead of disease. Dr. Turner has worked her way to the front by constant application to duty with the one motive in view of contributing to the bettering of conditions among our people. She believes in the possibilities of the race and is especially interested in young women. She earned the money with which to educate herself and can therefore readily sympathize with those young women of ambition who are struggling to better their condition by thorough preparation for their chosen calling. What Dr. Turner has accomplished should encourage other young women and men to set their standards high, have a fixed aim in view and work for the achievement of those things which make for race advancement, self preservation and good citizenship. There are scores of business women of our race in the various sections of the country who are making good in the several lines of industry and the professions. A "drink more buttermilk" movement among the colored people of the south will reduce sickness 30 per cent and increase individual efficiency in the same proportion.

Baltimore.—For the first time in its history this city will have three candidates to be voted upon in the municipal election, which occurs on Tuesday, May 4. when a mayor, members of the city council and other officials are to be chosen. Councilman Harry S. Cummings, who is rounding out twelve years as a member of the city council, will be a candidate for re-election. His chances of being re-elected are reasonably good, as the majority of voters in his ward are colored. In the Fifth ward William F. Allen will be a candidate for member of the first branch city council on the Progressive ticket. He is the only Progressive candidate on the ticket, and his vote will no doubt be rather small. George W. F. McMechen will be the Republican candidate in the Fourteenth ward, having beat three white aspirants in the recent primaries. His ward has among its residents the PETER H. GEORGE W. F. M'MECHEN. wealthiest Hebrews in the city, many prominent gentle whites and the best and most intelligent class of the colored people of the city. The whites are in the majority, though there are over 2,100 colored voters in the ward. Mr. McMechen's candidacy has aroused general interest, because, should he be elected, he will represent one of the most intelligent and wealthiest wards in the city. He is a native of West Virginia. He was graduated from Morgan college, this city, in 1895, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. He received his diploma in law at Yale university in 1898. For a short time Mr. McMechen practiced law at Evansville, Ind., but came to this city twelve years ago and formed a law partnership with his brother in-law, W. Ashbie Hawkins. He is regarded as an able and successful practitioner. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, a past exalted ruler of Monumental lodge of Elks and is deputy grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Maryland. PREPARED FOR BUSINESS. Sale P. Hilyer Begins Career as Lawyer Under Favorable Circumstances. BY CHARLES SUMNER SMITH. Minneapolis, Minn.—Gale P. Hilyer, a young man well known in the Twin Cities, recently finished his course of study at the University Law school and has been admitted to the bar of the state supreme court. Young Mr. Hilyer is but twenty-four years of age. He came to Minnesota from the District of Columbia. His preparatory education was obtained at Howard university, in Washington, where he graduated in 1908. Mr. Hilyer entered the University of Minnesota in the fall of 1908 and enrolled in the College of Science, Literature and the Arts, from which he graduated in 1912 as an honor member, being elected a member of Iron Hedge, an honorary fraternity of the college of sciences. He began his law studies in the fall of 1912 and graduated in the February class of 1915. Mr. Hilyer made a fine record during his law school course, making a grade of A in three-fourths of his work in the final examinations and receiving the personal congratulations of Dean Vance and several other members of the faculty. He is peculiarly fortunate in being able to enter the firm of Hall & Tantges, in this city, with offices in the Life building. He will there have an opportunity rarely presented to a young colored lawyer. Mr. Albert H. Hall of the law fir mabove named was a classmate of young Hilyer's father, Mr. Andrew F. Hilyer, at the university, both graduating in the law class of 1882. Mr. Hillyer's father was a former resident of Minneapolis and has many friends here. He is located at Washington, where he is employed by the United States government as expert accountant. Mr. Hillyer begins the practice of law under very favorable circumstances, and his many friends wish for him large success. His example should inspire other young men of the race to do likewise. Mr. Hillyer is a prominent church and civic worker. He has been superintendent of St. Thomas' P. E. Sunday school and is secretary of the local branch of the Society For the Advancement of Colored People in this city. HOW IRA ALDRIDGE WON WORLD FAME PLAYED WITH NOTED ACTORS Wonderful Achievements of a Southern Boy Whose Work as an Interpreter of the Shakesperian Drama Attracted Notice on Two Continents—Lionized by Moscow University Students. By JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." Ira Aldridge, the great Negro tragedian, left no successor in the profession which he dignified and adorned. That he was a great actor, great in the conception and portrayal of the characters which he assumed, cannot be gainsaid. Aldridge went to England with Edmund Kean some time in the thirties in a humble capacity, it is said, and while there he cultivated a taste for the stage, which Mr. Kean encouraged in every way. He was born in Belair, near Baltimore, in 1810 and died at Lodz, in Poland, in 1867. He was nearly six feet in height, well proportioned and of dark complexion and had the manners of a Chesterfield. His great reputation as an interpreter of the Shakespearean drama having reached America, arrangements were in progress for his appearance in New York city and the day fixed for him to sail from England, Aug. 15, 1867. He died April 7 of that year, and so his admirers in America were denied the pleasure of seeing him in the roles in which he captivated his European audiences. The St. Petersburg correspondent of Le Nord, writing of this distinguished MIDDLE EAST IRA ALDRIDGE tragedian under date of Dec. 15, 1859, said: "The success of the negro actor Ira Aldridge has been wonderful. At his debut people were curious to see an Othello who needed neither crape nor pomade to blacken his face. Many expected tears of laughter rather than tears of emotion when they learned that lago and Desdemona would reply to him in German. (The absence of an English troupe forced him to play with German actors.) Those who counted on this were strongly deceived. "From his first appearance on the stage the African artist completely captivated his audience by his harmonious and resonant voice and by a style full of simplicity, nature and dignity. For the first time we had seen a tragic hero talk and walk like common mortals without exaggerated gestures. We forgot that we were in a theater and followed the drama as if it had been a real transaction. "The scene in the third act when the sentiment of jealousy is roused in the ferocious Moor is the true triumph of Aldridge. At the first word of the wily insinuations you see his eyes kindle, you feel the tears in his voice when he questions lago, then the deep sobs which stifle it, and finally when he is persuaded that his wretchedness is complete a cry of rage, or, rather, a roar like that of a wild beast, starts from his abdomen. "I still seem to hear that cry. It chilled us with fear and made every spectator shudder. Tears wet his cheeks, his mouth foamed, and his eyes flashed fire. I have never seen an artist identify himself so perfectly with the character which he represents. An actor told me he saw him sob for some moments after his exit from the scene. Everybody, men and women, wept. Boileau was right in saying to actors, "Weep yourselves if you would make others weep." Rachel in the fourth act of 'Les Horace' is the only artist who ever produced so great an effect." Mr. Aldridge first appeared at Covent Garden theater, London, as Othello April 10, 1833. In 1848 he played at the Surrey theater. In 1852 he visited Germany, where he played three years, and he was highly spoken of wherever he appeared. The New York Herald correspondent in England at that time had this to say: "An American Negro named Ira Aldridge has been performing at the Imperial theater in several of Shakespeare's pieces and has met with great applause. His principal character, of course, is Othello, and he portrays the jealous Moor with such truth and energy that even those anamateurs who recollect the great Russian tragedian, Kartingn, acknowledge the superiority of his able successor. In Shylock, too, he shows unusual dramatic powers and, painted and tricked out for the stage, he passes very well by lamplight for the Jew that Shakespeare drew." It is to be regretted that no Negro has as yet risen who is capable of wearing acceptably the mantle laid down with honor by the "Black Roscius." The state of Maryland may with justice lay claim to having produced the greatest Negro statesman and orator, the first Negro astronomer and civil engineer and the greatest and only Negro tragedian worthy the name. What a splendid trinity—Douglass, Banneker and Aldridge, stars of the first magnitude! When Aldridge died the value of the pedals given him by the nobility of Europe in appreciation of his art was estimated at $25,000. He had villas in nine capitals of Europe and was courted by the bluest of the obl world. So realistic was his portrayal of the character of Othello when he performed in the city of Moscow, in Russia, that the students of the University of Moscow unhitched the horses from his carriage as he was about to enter it at the close of the performance and, lifting him upon their shoulders, placed him in it and drew him in triumph to his hotel. No Negro professional who has since visited Europe has ever been thus honored. Yet he bore his honors with modesty and dignity, the hall marks of real genius and true worth. Aldridge left two talented daughters now living in London. Both are highly musical—one of them a composer, the other a vocalist. PROMOTERS OF GOOD WILL. Attitude of a New York Minister and His Congregation. New York.-The choir and orchestra of the East Harlem Presbyterian church, in this city, under the direction of the Rev. Mr. Ongaro, pastor, recently gave a grand sacred concert at Beth-Philiah Fourth Moravian church, 126 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, the Rev. Charles D. Martin pastor. Every seat in the spacious auditorium was filled, and a goodly part of Rev. Mr. Ongaro's congregation was present. The novelty of the service attracted the people. It was unusual, but quite in keeping with the teaching of the Master that peoples of different races should mingle together socially in the church of God to make their supplications to him. The Rev. Mr. Ongaro made an address in English, in which he said that he and his people were glad and proud to fellowship with the colored brethren. The Italian people, he said, had suffered as great wrongs as they and hence could sympathize and did sympathize keenly with them in their struggle in this country. We are brethren, we are children of the King, and it is to our interest to know each other better, to understand each other's viewpoint and to work together unitedly for the common good. We are all equal before God, and we have a common destiny. Let us, then, as Christians work together in harmony for the glory of God and the betterment of the spiritual condition of the human race. The Italian people know no race or color. I recognize nothing but the King of kings. All men who serve him are my brethren. The following excellent program was rendered: March, sacred, "Il Calvario," Ongaro, orchestra and choir; apostolie salutation. Ongaro; solo and chorus, "Gloria In Exceis," Ongaro; solo and chorus, Psalm 11, Ongaro; hymn 98, Voldesian association; solo, sacred song, East Harlem church; solo, "Stabat Mater" (Ferrara). Rossini; solo and chorus, Easter song, Ongaro; march, finale. Orchestra—Piano, Rev. A. Ongaro; flute, Signor F. Covino; violin, Signor Lignori; clarinet, Signor Russo; cornet, Signor Contursl.

The solution of the problem is to be brought about by closer relations between the Negro and friendly foreign elements in the population of this country, a thing which is being craftily combated by some narrow minded native born whites. The Jews, the Italians and the Germans have none or very little of the race prejudice which characterizes so many native born white men, and these peoples, who are religious at heart, are coming more and more to see that the Negro is responsive, kind hearted, sympathetic and lovable. Mr. Ongaro's sincerity and that of the members of his church were spiendidly manifested on this occasion. The seed they have sown will take root and grow, and the Italians and the Negro will know each other better as the years roll by. Dr. Washington to Speak In New York.

When your Willie you'll greet and your tired soul is free. In the heavenly mansion above.
