A., which took place at Rocky Mountain Lake on Decoration Day. To say that it was a success would be putting it mildly. Recent bad weather only served to put the track into lightning condition and some very excellent records were made. 50 yard dash-first, Bennie Baker; second, Elsner Marshbanks; third, Allen. Time 7 3-5 seconds. 100 yard dash-first, B. Johnson. second, Chas. Cobb; third, Frank Jones. Time 15 seconds. 220 yard dash-first, Bennie Baker; second, Reginald Cooper; third, Randall.

An unusual large and enthusiastic crowd spurred the participants on, and many a boy received a free ride on the shoulders of his friends to celebrate his victory. The contestants in the senior division deserve great credit for their classy work, equal to some of the records made in the colleges. One of the most amusing incidents was the keen rivalry between the Smith brothers in the 50 yard dash. The honor, however, went to Earl Smith, who was also a varded individual senior honors for the day. 880 yard run-first, Johnson; second, Donald Smith; third, Harris. 3 minutes 8 2-5 seconds. Broad Jump-first, Johnson, second, Hughes; third, Robert Smith. 11 feet 6 1-2 inches. High Jump-first, William Grundy; second, Cobb; third, B. Johnson. Distance 3 feet 7 inches.

Shorter Sunday School was awarded a banner for making the largest number of points in all events. K. of P. Lodge won the banner for the relay race. Many a mother wore a broad smile, while the Juniors were competing. The youngsters have been practicing every day for the past two months, and they were justly rewarded by the splendid records they made. Reginald Cooper and Burwell Johnson deserve special mention. The exciting events were as follows: All prizes were donated by the business men, who showed great interest from start to finish. SENIOR EVENTS. The Board of Management of the Y. M. C. A. extend thanks to every individual who assisted them in making this event a decided success. 50 yard dash-first, Earl B. Smith; second, Wesley Lyons; third, Nolle R. Smith. Time, 6 1-5 seconds. 100 yard dash-first, Nolle R. Smith; second, Earl R. Smith; third, Wesley Lyons. Time 11 1-5 seconds. One of the most exciting and enthusiastic base ball games ever witnessed was played by the Five Point Boosters representing Shorter and Bolden Bros., representing Zion. Each side had its crowd of rooters and boosters, and vells and cat calls were greatly in evidence. The Shorterites yelled "This is a horse laugh rickety split; can Zion beat us, we guess Nit! Zionites would reply; Zion, is our cry, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y. The Five Point Boosters just beat by a score of 6 to 3. The Shorterites went wild with joy. But Bolden Bros', team needs to be highly congratulated on the showing made against the veteran ball players. 220 yard dash-first. Earl B. Smith; second, Nolle R. Smith; third, Elmer R. Smith. Time 26 1-5 seconds. 440 yard dash-first, Earl B. Smith; second, Charles Tasker; third, Elmer R. Smith.

Time 12:32. 880 relay Knights of Pythias team: Nolle R. Smith, Elmer Smith, Wayman Stanley, Earl B. Smith won 1 minute 43 seconds. Earl B. Smith won the individual with 21 points. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1915 What The People Are Saying. What The People Are Saying. All Unite In Condemning "Birth Of Nation." It is undoubtedly true that the agitation carried on by our organization and by other organizations and individuals have helped to advertise Dixon's wretched film play. At the same time it is also true that to an unusual extent the friends of the Negro race and of fair play in general have been rallied to the side of justice, and this is no easy thing to accomplish. Even the New York Outlook which loses few opportunities to get on the inhuman side of most problems says: "The difficulty which Mr. Dixon as a purveyor of history is that he is not a historian. A historian not only presents true incidents from the past, but, if he is fair-minded and impartial, takes care that the incidents are representative and typical. Many of the most effective and most misleading scenes in 'The Birth of a Nation' doubtless occurred some time, somewhere, in the South. Chosen as the whole picture of the Reconstruction period, however, they are unfair and vicious. Mr. Dixon has a single-track mind, and the track leads only through a very unpleasant country. He is a partisan, and a dangerous one. He can see questions only in broad splotches of black and white. He knows but one side. Southern life, the sex problem of 'Aryan and African." "As Mr. Dixon rightly believes and dramatically shows the American Nation was born from the travail of civil war and the injustice of the Reconstruction period, and therefore his photo drama threatens no reopening of the wounds of the white North and the white South. The evil in 'The Birth of a Nation' lies in the fact that the play is both a denial of the power of development within the free Negro and an exaltation of race war." The film has been defended on the ground that while it may portray unpleasant things it is historically true. That even this defense is unwarranted has been shown in a number of cases. The Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury, of Boston says in the Boston Herald: "The play, like the book, 'The Clansman,' on which it is founded, is a gross perversion of a period of our history about which the people have been persistently lied to for a generation. Even the most eminent historians suppress the truth about it, in the interest, I suppose, of national harmony. I mean the reconstruction period; the leading purpose of the book, and presumably of the play, being to install the belief that the reconstruction acts of Congress were not only foolish but wicked, as inspired by malice or revenge or a determination to perpetuate the power of the Republican party by humiliating the white people of the South. "There is not, and never was, a shadow of truth in the pretence. On the contrary, the southern whites brought up on themselves the misfortunes of the reconstruction era as unmistakably as they brought upon themselves the calamities of the war on which reconstruction followed. No soone were they reinvested with political power than they made their first use of it to nullify emancipation and restore the Negro to virtual slavery. The proofs of this are in the statute books of the southern states, they are familiar to all who have ever tried to learn the truth, and they are innumerable. This it was, and this alone, that compelled Congress, in order to secure the Negro even his personal liberty, to interfere with President Johnson's reconstructed state governments and all the grievances of reconstruction followed upon this single circumstance, for which the white South was as directly responsible as it was for the rebellion." It is undoubtedly true that the agitation carried on by our organization and by other organizations and individuals have helped to advertise Dixon's wretched film play.

It is an insult to Lincoln and the great motives inspiring him when he was called to resist the attempt to denenalize a nation. This nation of ours was not born between 1861 and 1865, and no one will profit from trying to prevert history. "White men in this country have never been just to black men." Ex-Congressman Samuel W. McCall says in the Boston ADVERTISER: "As to the Ku-Klux-Klan, if one is ignorant of its criminal character and of its murders, burnings and other detestable crimes, let him read the reports of the trials in the U. S. Circuit Court at Columbia, at the November term of 1871. It is a gross offense against the idea of government by law that the order responsible for them should be glorified or represented to-day in any part of the country in any favorable light." Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard University, perhaps the foremost living teacher of history declares in the Boston JOURNAL: "A prime objection to the whole thing is its caricature of the Union army and the Union soldiers; and particularly its absolutely unfounded series of pictures intended to leave upon the mind the conviction that in Reconstruction times, Negro soldiers freely plundered and abused the white people of the South, and were encouraged so to do by their white officers. "No such thing ever occurred in whole history of Reconstruction." The Boston TRAVELER quotes from the records of the official investigation of the Ku-Klux-Klan and says: "Every witness of 'The Birth of a Nation, no matter how well he may know the historical falsity of its action, throbs with sympathy for the men who defied an armed and enraged Negro milita, for the protection of the women of the Southland. Yet the hired attorneys defending the men of the Ku-Klux-Klan in court in 1871 pleaded, 'In making these remarks, it is simply to express the desire that a wise and merciful discrimination should be made in favor of those who have been led, seduced or forced into an organization guilty of such inhuman atrocities.' "In another case the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, attorney for the Klansmen, said;' I have listened with unmixed horror to some of the testimony which has been brought before you. 'The outrages proved are shocking to humanity; they admit of neither excuse or justification; they violate every obligation which law and nature impose on men; they show that the parties engaged were brutes.' "The purpose of the organization is revealed in the testimony of members of the Ku-Klux-Klan. One Klansman told the court, 'It is for the purpose of putting down racial rule and Negro suffrage.' Another swore that 'They were going to carry this into effect by killing off the white radicals and whipping and intimidating the Negroes, so as to keep them from voting for any man who held radical office.' "A member of Westley Smith's Klan testified that the head of the organization had said, 'I can kill and whip more damned niggers with my Klan than all the rest of York county.' Another said the chief activity of his Klan was 'whipping those men who belonged to the Union League. This witness told of a raid organized against a man because he 'taught a nigger school and voted the radical ticket. "Not in all the 832 pages of testimony and argument in these York county cases is any crime against a white woman mentioned. Quite in passing, and as though it were the commonest thing in the world, witness speak of the murder or mistreatment of Negro women and girls by members of the Klan. These crimes, the records indicate, were not prompted by the low desires that are mirrored on the animal face of the Negro 'Gus' in The Birth of a Nation.' They were committed as a punishment on husbands and fathers who had voted the wrong ticket. "This is a sworn testimony of a colored woman who had refused to tell a party of raiding Klansmen where her husband could be found: 'Well they were spitting in my face and throwing dirt in my eyes, and when they had made me blind they bursted open my cupboard; I had five pies in my cupboard, and they ate all my pies up, and then took two pieces of meat; then they made me blow up the light again cursing me; and after a while they took me out of doors and told me all they wanted was my old man to join the Democratic ticket; if he joined the Democratic ticket they would have no more to do with him; and after they had got me out of doors, they dragged me into the big road and they ravished me out there.' To this testimony as to facts we may add strong opinions of distinguished men. The Rev. Dr. Crothers says, "it is not a work of art for art's sake to be so enjoyed; it is not history as an impartial historian understands history; it is a deliberate and skillful bit of treachery." Jacques Loeb calls the play an "insult" and a "glorification of homicidal mania".

That seems to be the question raised by the approval of the Ku-Klux and anti-Negro features of the Birth of a nation film. Appealing to the strongest race prejudice in the most vivid possible way at the precise point where it has led to wholesale murder in the South is, of course, an incident to continued murder. One only possible point of doubt is whether murder is wrong Or no—that is not the only point. Safe, cold-blooded incident to murder is a meaner and more cowardly offense." —Crisis.

NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St, David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. In spite of their any weather, Zion enjoyed a splendid day last Sunday. The pastor's sermons at both morning and evening services were instructive and enjoyable. The offering for the day reached nearly $150.00, making a total for the month of May $52.08. Notwithstanding the hard times our people have been remarkably responsive, evidences of real sacrifice are being manifested in through their loyalty to the church. The total offerings to the General Fund for the five months of the year 1915 amount to $1,350.00, including the Building and Missionary Funds brings the total to above $1,800.00. This is certainly not a bad showing in these hard times. The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs meets with us next week, consuming the days of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We give these good women a hearty welcome to our church, trusting that the meeting of the Federation will result in great good for both the community and the race. The Western Baptist Association meets in Pueblo in the fourth week in June, 22nd-25th. All the Baptist interests of this Rocky Mountain section will be gathered there and pass in review.

VALUE OF FARM PROPERTY. Lock of Proper Information Concerning Our Achievements in Education and Wealth May Be Cause of Apparent Prejudice Against the Colored Population in Buckeye State. BY RALPH W. TYLER. Columbus, O.—It is perhaps to the disadvantage of the colored man that white friends know more about the foreign born citizens who are in our midst than they do about the colored race, which, like the poor, we have with us always, and have had with us since 1620. It may well be that an unconsciousness of what the colored man has done and is doing rather than any innate race prejudice is responsible for much of the apparent discrimination the race suffers from in Ohio. Any time there exists within a specified domain a goodly number of people of any race or nationality who, in all things for mutual progress, are one as the hand, but in all things socia, are as separate as the fingers on the hand, there develops a problem to invite the serious and helpful attention of all those who are willing to vouchsafe exact justice without regard for race or color. There are 111,452 colored persons in Ohio, all native born Americans. These people are not decreasing in numbers, but, on the contrary, are increasing. They increased 15 per cent in a decade. They are not all black—these people whose earlier ancestors, as Cowper said, were "forced from home and all its pleasures; Africa's coast they left forlorn to increase a stranger's treasures, o'er the raging billows borne." Of the total colored population in Ohio of 111,452, 39,249 are mulattoes, and by a strange form of evolution the mulattoes have increased since 1870, when they formed 28.2 per cent of the total colored population, until now they form 35.2 per cent of the colored population. In contradiction to the southern states, the colored population in Ohio is most largely urban, and the urban population is increasing at a rapid rate each year, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland showing the largest per cent of increase of any cities in the state. Of the total colored population in Ohio 82,282 is urban, while only 20,179 is rural. While the back to the farm movement has not caught on to any very appreciable extent with the colored race, still of the eighty-eight counties in Ohio but twelve report no colored farmers. There are 1,948 colored farmers in the state who own farm property to the value of $4,901,721. This is an increase in the value of farm property owned by colored farmers in Ohio of $2,003,790, or 60.2 per cent, since 1900. Even the avowed enemies of the race must admit this is a commendable showing and one which gives fresh concrete evidence of progress on the part of the rural colored population. One other commendable and noteworthy fact respecting colored farmers in Ohio is that they are most largely owners rather than mere tenants, for of the 1,948 in the state 1,311 are actual owners of their land. It is surprising that the race in Ohio has made such phenomenal progress in reducing its illiteracy when conditions are such as to make such a large per cent of them hewers of wood and drawers of water. In spite of the fact, that of the 49,207 of the race who are ten years of age and over, 41,243, or 83.7 per cent, are engaged in gainful occupation, still the race in Ohio has reduced the illiteracy at a remarkable rate. Of the 70,836 colored urban population in Ohio there are but 7,053 who are illiterate, and of the 23,074 rural population but 3,407 are illiterate. Cincinnati shows the largest per cent of colored illiteracy of any city in the state and Cleveland the lowest. In Cincinnati there are 2,503 colored people, or 14.3 per cent, above the age of ten years who can neither read nor write; in Columbus there are 962, or 8.7 per cent, who are illiterate, and in Dayton there are 392, or 9.5 per cent who are illiterate, while Cleveland has but 306, or 4.1 per cent, who are unable to read and write. The fact that 41,243 of the race of ten years of age and over are compelled to be employed in gainful occupations affects, to some extent, the school attendance on the part of the race. In Cleveland 60 per cent of the colored children of the same age are in school; in Cincinnati 57.2 per cent are in school; Columbus falls behind Cincinnati with but 55.4 per cent of colored children of school age in school, while Dayton shows just a trifle better in this matter with 56.8 per cent of colored children of school age in school. If "an appeal to Caesar" was made on behalf of the race in Ohio it would be proper to state, and to show, that the 111,452 colored people in Ohio spend every working day in the year $40,726 with merchants—the grocers, furniture, dry goods and shoe men, who give the race no representation, with but very few exceptions, above a common laborer's job: that the race in Ohio has on deposit in the banks of the state $4,672,210, but not a single clerk in any of these depositories of the state to assist in handling their deposits. Supreme Lodge Encamps at Columbus In August. WORK OF LOCAL COMMITTEE Program For Coming Meeting of Noted Secret Order Embraces Many Brilliant Features—State Grand Chancellor Anderson and Lawyer R. B. Barous Assured of Loyal Support. Columbus, O.-As the plans of the supreme lodge entertainment committee unfold themselves it becomes apparent that the entertaining of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, and encampment, which convenes in this city in August, is to be on a grander scale than ever before attempted. All the subordinate lodges in Ohio are lending every assistance possible, and the state grand lodge, which is to be the host, under the able direction of State Grand Chancellor Anderson, is in constant touch with affairs. The supreme lodge entertainment committee, headed by Attorney Robert B. Barcus, is meeting often for the perfecting arrangements. From partial estimates received from General Robert R. Jackson of the usl A. E. form rank at Chicago fully 8,000 of the uniform rank will be here to go into camp. The park selected for encampment purposes, according to the plans of the entertainment committee, will be a de luxe edition of the famous Midway Plaisance at the World's fair held in Chicago, so replete will it be with conveniences and amusements for the knights, visiting delegates and friends. One new and fine feature planned for the week will be a night parade, the entire route to be illuminated with variegated fire. This parade will be followed by a daylight parade in which 10,000 knights are expected to be in line and for which the entire city, regardless of race or color, will turn out en masse to witness and to applaud. For the great musical entertainment planned the committee is now busily engaged in selecting the best talent to be found in the country, in order to give the visiting knights and delegates a treat perhaps never before enjoyed on so large a scale. The grand military ball, which is to take place in the Memorial hall, Ohio's million dollar edifice, will eclipse anything of the kind ever before attempted by any city entertaining the Knights of Pythias. The hall, grand and splendid in its permanent fittings and decorations, will be enhanced in beauty with a wealth of additional decorations. The tentative draft of the week's program is as follows: Tuesday evening, memorial services, to be held at St. Paul's A. M. E. churc for departed knights. On the same evening the great night parade will also be held. Wednesday evening, the musical entertainment for which is being engaged the race's best professional talent in the country; Friday morning, street parade and prize drill; Friday evening, the military ball. In assurance of ample accommodations for all who contemplate attending the meeting of the supreme lodge it can be stated that the committee on hotels and homes has reported accommodations for 1,000 persons at the very beginning of its work. In contradistinction to previous meetings of the supreme lodge, where a single city has assumed the task of entertaining, the entire state of Ohio, in August, will co-operate with the local lodges and citizens of Columbus to entertain, and the white people have indicated that they will vie with the colored citizens to make the meeting an unequal success in every way. This is shown already by the activity on the part of the chamber of commerce in aiding the supreme lodge entertainment committee. Official recognition of the meeting, on the part of the state of Ohio, is to be given by Governor Frank B. Willis, the executive who has endeared himself to the pace everywhere by flatly announcing that the "Birth of a Nation" and "The Nigger," two criticised photo plays, shall not show in Ohio. He will deliver the welcoming address on behalf of the state. Official recognition of the meeting by the city of Columbus will be given by Mayor George J. Kark.

A. conference in North Carolina. She worshipped at Shorter chapel Sunday a. m. She was pleased with what she saw of Denver and also her extended trip in California. RESOLUTION OF CONDOLENCE From Glass No. 1. In the midst of life we are in death. The memory and association of a dear and Christian brother cause us to pause and pay reverence to a fallen comrade. Those of us who knew brother Thomas Reed best, loved him most. He was full of years and with his shield untarnished he yielded at last to the Conqueror of us all. His genial presence, his spiritual strength will be missed by Shorter church, for years having been one of its most faithful members. With my imagination I can almost see him sitting over there in his favorite seat. A class leader whom we loved to follow, because he not only talked Christianity but lived it. If the Christian life means anything, if devotion to duty brings reward, then our departed brother is this morning rejoicing with the angels and looking over the battlements of glory, we can hear that silent admonition, "Seek ye the narrow path and the straight gate that leads unto eternal life." Sleep on, dear, good and faithful brother; sweet be thy rest. Whereas, Shorter church loaes one of its most consistent members, and Class No. 1 a former leader and one of its most Christlike characters; Be it Resolved, that a copy of these our sentiments be given to his devoted wife and son, a copy preserved for our records, and one to the press. Columbus, O.—The only member of our race in this year's graduating class at the College of Pharmacy of the University of Ohio is Waldo Woodson Tyler of this city, son of former auditor for the navy, Ralph W. Tyler. Young Tyler took the four year course, specializing in chemistry, in which he has been rated high, and will graduate with the degree of bachelor of science. There are thirty members of this year's graduating class, the remaining twenty-nine being white. The majority of the white students took the two year pharmacy course, but Tyler, along with eight whites, took the four year course, and this course at the University of Ohio is regarded as one of the hardest and most efficient of any university in the country. From the ten colleges which make up the University of Ohio there will graduate this year over 800 students, only seven of whom are colored. One young colored man graduates from the College of Agriculture in the person of Henry A. Wilson of Talladega, Ala. There will be five graduates from the College of Veterinary Medicine-Norman Dumas Miller of Fort Smith, Ark.: Robert M. Winkfield, Lexington, Ky.: Louis M. Weaver, Ironton, O.; Ralph Vincent Kennon, Cedarville, O., and Elmer LeRoy Carson of this city. The University of Ohio has 5,000 students, only about thirty-five of whom are colored. The institution is richly endowed by federal and state appropriations, and possesses buildings that are second to no university in the country. No distinction is made in the admission of students on account of color. Commencement Week at Tuskegee. Commencement week at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute began on Sunday, May 23. The commencement sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Theodore D. Bratton of Jackson, Miss. The students marched to the chapel in a body. Thursday, May 27, was observed as commencement day, and the address was delivered by the Right. Rev. R. S. Williams, bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church of Augusta, Ga. Special trains for commencement day were run from Opelika, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. Dr. J. W. Darden was in charge of the party from Opelika and Victor H. Tulane was in charge of the Montgomery delegation.

Denver has some of the finest set of women in the West. They are loyal, patriotic, progressive and industrious, always working for the betterment and advancement of the race. In order to stimulate a greater desire and keener interest in the beauty of home, its congenial surroundings and our civic pride, certain women's clubs of this city have a contest between the owners of beautiful lawns, gardens, back yards, etc. Until the race as a whole educates itself in the ways of civic pride and learns to apply the principles of those learns to its everyday life it will continually injure the value of property in whatever section of the city it resides. It is to be admitted that race prejudice has a depreciative effect upon property values, but there are other agencies involved that are quite within our powers to control that aid in this loss of values. The crux of the whole matter lies in our own disinclination to improve our neighborhood and our own immediate surroundings. All of us to some degree or less are at fault, but this fault is easily remedied. Civic pride means merely this; A manifested interest in making your particular neighborhood a decent place to live in. This interest shows itself in grassy front plats, flowery back yards, with all rubbish and old papers carefully removed to the garbage barrel; clean alleyways, unmarked and unscratched hallways, clean basements, washed windows, etc. In addition to these personal things comes those that are personal, such as dress, speech and actions around the premises. Many of our best avenues have been spoiled by an unsightly garbage, waste and dump heap, while at the same time our back yards are indescribable. On the other hand, good neighborhoods have been given bad names because of improvident speech and actions of certain residents. These things, small as they may seem, have an important bearing on the present conditions. Any reliable real estate man will bear witness to this fact. When we can develop civic pride our presence in any section will not bankrupt the realty dealer. Furthermore, with this taste developed, we will attract values. Get behind the Civic Beauty contest, encourage and talk it up. Boost and be alive to Denver's civic needs among Negroes. This will attract more attention than anything else will. God bless our noble women who, unaided and not much encourahead, trying to progress and enrich the Negro manhood with aspirations aged even now, and forging steadily and ambitions, while the Negro man sleeps, talks and thinks only. Get behind these ladies, citizens, and become a real live factor for betterment in our Denver life. GOVERNOR CARLSON, HAST THOU FORSAKEN THE NEGRO? We konw that our Chief Executive of this state has been to busily engaged with other matters to remember about the patronage to be given out the Negro. Yet the avalanche of doubt and attack hurled against the Negro Republicans who stood up and voted the Republican ticket and helped to elect our present incumbent, is growing stronger and larger daily. Are the Negro voters right in declaring that the Republican Party has repudiated their promises made before election, abandoned the Negro and turned them over to their traditional enemies? Do the Negro Republican voters merit rebuke and opposition rather than support and recognition of their --- SHEET, Denver, Colorado MISSION RATES: ... $2.00 ... 1.00 ... 50 Fresh rate, all subscriptions must be paid in.

Carlson know that the Republican party is made up of Republicans, and not otherwise, and if these Republicans stood by the Governor in a moneyless campaign, then in all fairness a Republican should have a Republican job. Six months have almost elapsed and no substantial recognition of the Colored Citizen. Will the Governor and state officials allow false or mistaken promises be attached to the name "Republican," as odium is now attached to the word "Democrat?" While we know that the Governor is now and has been handicapped, we are calling his attention to the Negroes desires and ambitions. Some of the state officials have reappointed some of the Democrats in office. It may be that you can get a trust worthy Republican party from a crowd of Democrats, but the Star doubts it. We drop this note of warning, as the Negroes are openly charging that the "Star" made a grave mistake by advising them to support the G. O. P. JUNE, THE MONTH OF GLADNESS AND SUNSHINE. June is an ideal month. So full of sunshine, flowers and promises.

What will be the outcome of that test? Next Thursday morning three Negro pupils of East Denver and one of the North Side High School will close their study books, receive their diplomas and commence the real battles of the world. They should receive encouragement from each one of us. This year's indications point to more male graduates than female, an extraordinary thing. June 10th at Trinity M.

Most Distinctive In America, Says Benjamin Brawley. Benjamin Brawley in a recent article in the Southern Work- man has the following to say of the possibilities of the race for advancement in the arts and in music: With reference to the Negro two things are observable. One is that any distinction so far won by a member of the race in America has been almost always in some one of the arts, and the other is that any influence so far exerted by the Negro on American civilization has been primarily in the field of aesthetics. But there is something deeper than the sensuousness of beauty that makes for the possibilities of the Negro in the realm of the arts, and that is the soul of the race. The wall of the old melodies and the plaintive quality that is ever present in the Negro voice are but the reflection of the background of tragedy. No race can rise to the greatest heights of art until it has yearned and suffered. The Russians are a case in point. Such has been their background in oppression and striving that their literature and art today are marked by an unmistakable note of power. The same future beckons to the American Negro. The Negro has great gifts of voice and ear and soul, but so far much of his talent has not soared above the vaudeville stage. This is due most largely, of course, to economic instability. It is the call of patriotism, however, that America should realize that the Negro has peculiar gifts which need all possible cultivation and which will one day add to the glory of the country. Already his music is recognized as the most distinctive that the United States has yet produced. Choral Club to Give Closing Concer The nineteenth annual concert of the North Side Choral club in Pittsburg will be held on Tuesday evening, May 25, in the Washington field house. Conductor Joseph R. Walker will be in charge of the music. The choral will render Gade's "Spring Messenger," part songs (a capello), and Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha's. Wedding Feast." This concert will be the most elaborate musical event of the spring given by the club and the last for this season. A SLUGGISH LIVER NEEDS ATTEN- TION.

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 liniment 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."

JACKSON'S PLUCK Great State and National Function Planned to Show the Progress of the Race Since 1885—Negro Historical and Industrial Association Aska City Council's Aid. Richmond, Va.-The commissioners in charge of the plans and arrangements for holding the state' and national exposition in this city to show the progress which our people have made during the past half century have selected Monday, July 5, as opening day. The celebration will run for three weeks, closing on Tuesday, July 27. The Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices the exposition will be held, has petitioned the finance committee of the city council through its president, the Hon. Giles B. Jackson, for an appropriation of $10,000 toward the general expenses of the celebration. The text of the petition as presented by Mr. Jackson is as follows: "To the Honorable Board of Aldermen and City Council of the City of Richmond. Va.: "Gentlemen—There will be held in the city of Richmond at the state fair grounds from the 5th of July to the 27th of July an exposition and celebration in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation and achievements of the Negro. We lay emphasis upon the word achievements because the main purpose of this exposition is to show to the world the marvelous progress made by the Negroes of this country, especially in the southern states and the state of Virginia, within the past fifty years. "This exposition was conceived by the brain of those most anxious for the white people of this country and especially those of the north and west, to view the progress of the Negro and see how much he has advanced in the last fifty years. We want to dispel the idea that exists in the minds of some who are not so well acquainted with the black man and the relation of the two races in the south. We want to show that the Negro is not hindered from making industrial progress in this section. "It is for this reason that the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under whose auspices this exposition is to be held, appealed to the national government for the means by which to create this exposition, and in answer to their prayer an appropriation of $55,000 was made at the time we applied for the amount. At that time we had the promises of certain large corporations that they would contribute largely to the fund we were raising, an additional sum of $60,000, but no sooner, had the appropriation been made by congress when the European war broke out, and the corporations which made these promises asked to be excused because of the financial depression which affected their business affairs; hence we fell short of the amount we hoped to realize. "It is needless for me to say that to promote an exposition of this character, which embodies all the states in the Union, would of itself cost within the neighborhood of $50,000, including the shipping and returning of the exhibits, therefore you will see that we are in need of an additional fund to carry out the purposes of our association. Then the fact that President Wilson promised a committee, which waited on him on Nov. 5, 1914, that he would be present some day during the existence of the exposition, if not at the opening, causes us to make special efforts to make this exposition a success. "We have extended invitations to the governors of the different states and also to a number of senators and representatives of congress who have promised to be present. Therefore we will have a number of distinguished white gentlemen to entertain. While they will come upon our invitation, yet they must be entertained by you. Now that the exposition will be held in the city of Richmond, bringing to this city thousands of white and colored people, and when the people come to the exposition they come to spend money among the citizens of Richmond we will need an additional fund to carry out the scope and plan of our exposition. "We feel that, whereas the Negro pays tax on $3,180,662 worth of property in the city of Richmond, which is direct tax and contributes so largely to the indirect taxes of this city, we would be justified in asking that you appropriate at least $10,000, to be expended through the same channel as $55,000 is being expended by the Negro Historical and Industrial association, under the direct supervision of the governor of the state of Virginia and also an additional amount to be expended by your committee for entertaining the president and the other visitors above referred to. "We hope that you will see your way clear to make this appropriation, as this is the first time in the history of the city of Richmond that the colored man has asked for such an appropriation, and we feel that the occasion justifies not only the amount of $10, 600, but more."

Lee Rue McClain, followed the ceremony. The house was beautifully decorated with profusions of spring flowers for the occasion. Places were laid for twelve, consisting of the bridal party and immediate relatives. Although the wedding was quiet, the happy couple were recipients of many useful and handsome gifts.

Have you noticed the change it sometimes makes In a woman's face— Passive it may be, and dull and cold, Neutral-tinted and commonplace— When the sun falls on it? How swift it takes Meaning the color, and soft outlines? How strange new lights from the eyes will slip And new tints blossom on cheek and lip? The whole face softens and warms and shines, And the hair, a miser grown overbold. Shows forth of a sudden, undreamed- of gold. Oh, there's many a woman, east and west, Must be in the sunshine to look her best!

In a woman's face, And her heart and her life, that were cold and dull, And slightly inclined to commonplace When love shines on them?

Executive Secretary Arthur Thomas Arnold Accords Students of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute Liberal Place on the Program—Great Christian Body Practices the Golden Rule. Charleston, W. Va. — At the thirty-third annual convention of the West Virginia Sunday School association, held in this city in May, the teachers and students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute were present in a body. This action was taken by the school upon the invitation of Arthur T. Arnold, the executive secretary of the association. He had invited the school to participate in the general program of the meetings by singing folk songs and the school band marching and playing in both the children's parade and the men's parade. Special seats were reserved for the teachers and students in the First Methodist Episcopal church, where the PETER H. ARTHUR THOMAS ARNOLD. morning session was held. When they had finished their numbers on the program and the presiding officer attempted to go on with the business of the association, there was one continuous ovation on the part of the audience—so much so that the presiding officer was compelled to ask the students to sing one more selection. The following editorial which appeared in the Charleston Daily Mail, reflects the general opinion of those who were present concerning the part taken by the students: "One of the most distinctive features of the state Sunday school convention now in session in the capital which the delegates will carry away with them will be the musical part, especially the part taken by the young men and young women of the West Virginia Collegiate institute. "This delegation from the foremost colored school for higher education among the colored people of West Virginia came up in a body and occupied special seats provided for them at the First Methodist Episcopal church and at the armory. Music is one of the accomplishments of the colored race. The colored people take to music as a duck takes to water, and it is music too. Strong and rich, sweet and soft, the range is wide enough to take in every requirement and to satisfy every demand of the ear attuned to melody. "And not only to the visitors from all parts of the state was this achievement in harmony a revelation. Those at home were also on the list of the surprised and joined heartily in the applause and commendation which were given the institute delegation earnestly and without stint. 'Some' singers are those students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, and the state, which supports the school, has a right to be proud of the showing they made." President Byrd Prillerman is highly gratified at the uniform courtesy with which the students were treated throughout the entire day's proceedings. The officers of the association and the ushers treated not only the school, but all other visiting members of our race at the sessions with absolute fairness. The occasion really marks an epoch in the history of religious gatherings in the south. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Mitchell, the competent music teacher of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, deserves much credit for the efficient manner in which the students had been trained for the occasion. Mr. Arthur Thomas Arnold, whose cut is shown in this article, is the general secretary of the West Virginia Sunday School association. He is a young man of high character and standing, who believes in liberty and justice for all the citizens of the state according to law and not according to race or color. Mr. Arnold recognizes the struggles of our race to rise in education, business and Christian character, and he may be depended upon as all times to do the square thing by them whenever he comes in contact with them along any line. The race will always stand by such men as Arthur Thomas Arnold. ZION CHURCHMEN MEET. New Jersey Conference Reports Show Progress—Bishop Clinton Presides. By CLEVBLAND G. ALLEN. Somerville, N. J.—The forty-second annual session of the New Jersey conference' of the A. M. E. Zion church, recently held in this city, was one of the most notable sessions of that body. The conference sessions were held at St. Thomas' A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. Dr. W. D. Robeson is pastor. Bishop G. W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C., presided. He was assisted by Bishop J. C. Caldwell of Philadelphia. Among the general officers present were Drs. J. C. Dancy of the Church Extension society; L. W. Kyles, editor of the Quarterly Review; G. C. Clement, editor of the Star of Zion, and Mrs. Marie Clinton, who represented Dr. J. S. Jackson, financial secretary of the connection. Together with the general officers of the church, there were prominent men of the church and connection from other cities. Among them were Rev. Drs. S. L. Corrothers of Philadelphia, W. H. Lee of Brooklyn, H. J. Callis of Chicago, Professor W. O. Carrington of Livingston college, P. A. Wallace of Philadelphia and Rev. Dr. J. Harvey Anderson of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference. It was a record making conference, and before it adjourned it went on record as opposing discrimination and segregation and condemned in strong terms the practice of lynching. The conference indorsed the plan for a saloonless nation, passed a resolution favoring woman suffrage and advocated a larger national freedom for the Negro. The financial condition of the conference was never in better condition, and despite the hard times it met most of its assessments. The conference was welcomed to the city by representatives of the city government, the white pastors of the city, as well as representatives of the local churches Rev. C. C. Sylvester, pastor of the P E. church, spoke on behalf of the mayor, and the address on behalf of the ministers was made by Rev. Roy Vale, pastor of the South Reformed church, and addresses on behalf of the interests of the church were made by Mrs. Hall, Paul Robeson, Miss Iezz Rogers and Miss Esther Auten. The response was made by Hon. J. C. Dancy. Presiding Elder W. H. Coffee in his report urged the development of strong homes and said homes were the basis of good citizenship. He made a plea for better prepared Sunday school workers who were interested in the spiritual welfare of the pupils. Speaking of the spiritual and financial growth, he said over 500 members had been added to the conference, 361 converts, and $49,842 had been raised. He praised the pastor of the church at Patterson, who during the year added seventy-eight members and laid plans for the erection of a $25,000 church. Dr. Clement, manager of the publishing house at Charlotte, commended the presiding elder for urging the members to use their own hymn-books and literature. The address of Bishop Clinton was one of the most noted documents he has ever handed down to his conference. He made a review of the year's work and said that three churches had been erected. He warned the pastors to avoid entanglements. Speaking against discrimination, he said: "We believe it to be the duty of the state to provide for our security. We are men and citizens, and manhood and merit should be the test by which our standard is to be judged. We should have the unhampered opportunity to work out our destinies. All citizens should be treated fairly." On the third day the afternoon and evening were given over to the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary society, of which Mrs. Florence Randolph is president. The business session of the missionary society was held in the Somerville public school, and there were many encouraging reports of the year's work at home and in foreign fields. A box of provisions was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Peters, who are laboring as missionaries on the Gold Coast. Mrs. Randolph in making her report said she has preached over 172 sermons, delivered over 90 missionary addresses, visited over 23 cities and organized over 16 temperance organizations and had secured the signatures of over 748 women of the race in New Jersey, who took the pledge for total abstinence. Mrs. Marie Clinton, wife of Bishop Clinton and general superintendent of the Buds of Promise, told of the work that is being done by that division. Lincoln Knew Our Worth to the Nation. Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Michael Hahn in March, 1864, congratulating Mr. Hahn on being the first governor of Louisiana as a free state, suggested that the governor let the colored people in, "as, for instance," said Lincoln, "the very intelligent and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks. They would probably help in some trying time to come to keep the jewel of liberty in the family of freedom." Lincoln was right. The colored Americans have ever been loyal to Old Glory, and our soldiers have fought heroically upon many battlefields. Moving Pictures Show Race Progress. Interesting features above the ordinary, shown at the carnival held at Tomlinson hall, Indianapolis, Ind. May 24 and 25 under the auspices of the woman's council for the benefit of the Lincoln hospital, were the moving pictures of the business enterprises conducted by our people, the baby show and the exhibition drill. The results of the carnival were very encouraging to the members of the council. Cleota Austin and Myrtella Hooks, Props.

What the Noted Prelate Says About the Coming Chicago Exposition. Chicago.—In connection with the large exposition to be held in this city at the Coliseum from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16. will be held the Abraham Lincoln jubilee celebration, at which hundreds of relics of the martyred president will be shown and tribute paid to the memory of the great humanitarian. The exposition will be unique, says Bishop Samuel Fallows, state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and president of the exposition. Nothing like it has ever before been done or even attempted. The exposition will mark fifty years of freedom for the colored race in America. Assurance that President Wilson will be present was made to Bishop Fallows in a message from Washington which stated that Mr. Wilson will attend if no unforeseen governmental complications arise to prevent. Governor Edward F. Dunne of Illinois is the president, ex-officio. State Senator John Dalley of Peoria is vice president. Among the honorary vice presidents are Miss Jane Addams, Governor Baldwin of Connecticut, Governor Bass of New Hampshire, Judge Theodore Brentano, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas H. Cannon, head of the Catholic Order of A. H. THOMAS WALLACE SWANK. Foresters, Chicago; former Governor Charles S. Deneen, Cardinal James Gibbons, Governor Whitman of New York and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Twelve distinct departments have been created for the exposition, and in them will be shown exhibits from nearly every state in which the negro is a part of the population. These departments are religion, education, industry, social progress, music, sociology, military, liberal arts, professional fraternal, athletics and miscellaneous. Nineteen state legislatures have either passed or have before them bills providing appropriations to establish state exhibits. Hundreds of letters approving the purpose of the exposition have been received, representing every race and religion, every profession and business and social activity in America. The exhibits of the progress of the colored man since his emancipation from slavery will be many and various. Each of the 400 colored schools and colleges in the United States will be represented. The best of 3,000,patents granted to colored men by the federal government will, by special arrangement, be brought to Chicago to show in the Coliseum. The government of Liberia, Africa, made up originally of freed slaves from America, will send an exhibit, and Professor Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago has been appointed their official representative by the Liberian government. The Roman Catholic exhibit will be a feature of the exposition, including, besides paintings and sculpture, many relics of the Negro in his relation to the church. There are more than 2,000,000 Negroes engaged in agricultural pursuits, and 78 per cent of them are in the southern states. More than 28 per cent of the total number of farmers in the south in 1910 were Negroes and 12 per cent of the total farm acreage was operated by them. The Negro has produced 6,000 books and periodicals, nearly 7,000 songs and musical compositions. The Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann is secretary of the commission, having charge of the celebration. Growth of the Mayesville (S.C.) School. The Mayesville Industrial school at Mayesville, S.C., was founded many years ago by Miss Emma Wilson. It is doing a most commendable work among the people of that section of the state. The school was started in an old abandoned cotton gin house without any furnishings. Ten children of the neighborhood formed the first group of students. It has grown from a very small school to one of the largest and best managed of its kind in South Carolina. Miss Wilson is still at the head of the work and tells a most thrilling story of her struggles to maintain the institution during the early years of its existence. Many good white people, north and south, contribute to its support. Some Features of the June Crisis. The June issue of the Crisis Magazine is called the Great Northwest number. It bristles with much interesting and instructive reading matter. The "Men of the Month" section is illustrated from photographs of people who have won distinction in their line. Each month brings new friends to this militant race publication. "which has come to the kingdom for such a time as this." THRIFTY CENTER OF EDUCATION Rapid Growth of State School at Orangeburg, S. C. EXERTS A WIDE INFLUENCE. Notable Achievements of President Robert S. Wilkinson of the Agricultural and Mechanical College—Wins the Distinction of Being an Educational Expert. Orangeburg, S. C. — South Carolina has given to the race one of the foremost leaders and educators in the country in the person of Professor Robert Shaw Wilkinson, president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical college, at Orangeburg. He represents the possibilities of the young men who will prepare themselves, find a place and stick to it. Professor Wilkinson is a native of Charleston, S. C., and was given his foundation for an education in the public schools of Charleston and also completed the normal course in the Avery Normal institute, in his native city. He was appointed to the West Point Military academy in 1884 from the First congressional district of South Carolina, a distinction which has been won by but few members of the race. Because of physical conditions he remained there only one year and then entered Oberlin college. He graduated from the classical course in 1891 with the degree of bachelor of arts. He won many honors for his literary work. Because of his achievements in the arts and sciences Oberlin conferred on him the degree of master of arts. Being well prepared, his first real school work was done in the state university, Louisville, Ky. For five years he was active in this work, holding the position of professor of languages and vice president. He made good in Kentucky and made many friends. But when his native state called him to take the position of professor of mathematics and physics in the new state college, established in 1896 under the land grant college en- PETER H. DR. ROBERT SHOW WILKINSON. actment of the federal government, he responded by resigning from the state university. Since his connection with the school many positions have been offered him, but he has remained at Orangeburg with the state school, filling several positions. He is an all around man, and when there is a position of any kind to be filled he readily serves. The valuation of the property has been increased from $150,000 to $275,000 and the faculty at the same time from twenty-six to fifty-seven and the enrollment from 502 to 1,100 annually. New departments and courses have been added, until now it stands as the training place for professional and vocational teachers not alone in South Carolina, but for other states in which the graduates are finding their way in the student body are to be found representatives from Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It is of interest to know that the graduating class for this year numbers sixty-eight, and there are 112 in the freshman class. The annual budget of the college exceeds $50,000. Dr. Wilkinson had conferred on him the degree of doctor of philosophy by the state university of Louisville, Ky. When it comes to doing things for the race he is always found in the front rank. He is active in many organizations representing refinement and culture and racial uplift. He is a member of the Episcopal church, a day reader in the Orangeburg mission and holds membership in the following organizations: National Geographical society, Southern Sociological congress, Free and Accepted Masons and the Knights of Pythias. In the Knights of Pythias he is grand master of exchequer and is custodian of over $20,000 annually for the order. In the extension work he travels extensively annually over the state and is accomplishing great good for the material advancement of the race. He has won for himself the distinction of "educational expert." To him are referred many matters upon which he is considered an authority. The latest development in the institution is the summer school for the training of teachers. In this school 300 teachers enroll each year. In 1897 Dr. Wilkinson was married to Miss Marion Birle of Charleston, S. C. Their union has been blessed with four children. DILIGENT WORKER FOR ADVANCEMENT Good Advice of Dr. A. Lyman Paey Should Be Heeded. GALLS LEADERS TO ACCOUNT Public Spirited Citizens In Virginia Are Making Strong Campaign For Reduction of High Death Rate. Percentage of Infant Mortality Causes Much Alarm. Norfolk, Va.-Dr. A. Lyman Paey and his wife may well be counted among the public spirited colored people of Norfolk. They have been persistently active in calling attention to conditions among our people that need improvement, and they have worked wisely with their fellow citizens in securing some civic improvements. Dr. Paey believes that much of the suffering and poverty among colored people is caused by preventable disabilities and premature deaths, which reduce a large portion of the race to indigence and hinder the real progress that its members should make to keep pace with civilization. There is being waged in Virginia an active crusade for the reduction of the death rate. That this work is timely is clear from the fact that Norfolk, with an estimated population of 86,500, of which 35,000 are colored, had deaths among the latter to exceed those among the former by 226. In Richmond there should have been 500 fewer deaths, according to the ratio of colored people in the city's population. In Virginia between eleven and twelve white people in every thousand die annually. Between twenty-two and twenty-three colored people in every thousand die annually. Both races DR. A. SMITH DR. A. LYMAN PAYE. are living under the same climatic conditions. This difference in the death rate is due to overcrowding, ignorance of sanitary laws and the failure to properly observe the laws of nature. Dr. Paey points out that the death rate among the babies of the colored people is five to one as compared with the white people. Some 2.500 colored babies are victims of evils worse than wars—namely, ignorance, superstition, patent medicines, home remedies, unwholesome food, insanitary surroundings, overcrowding, bad air, darkness and dark living rooms. He also recently said in a public address: "Physicians, ministers, teachers, lawyers, business men and intelligent laymen who are members of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia ought to consider it one of their duties as well as privileges to teach the colored people how to decrease the amount of preventable disease and premature death. The congenital powers of the young should be so conserved as to insure a normal life from birth to old age. "The colored people must be taught that consumption is catching and is more deadly and more to be dreaded than smallpox. They must be taught the value of fresh air, the importance of having a pure water supply, the value of screening against insects, the proper ways of disposing of garbage, the care of back yards, common sense in dressing and eating, the dangers of the housefly as a carrier of disease germs, especially typhoid fever and consumption; proper methods of drainage, so as to do away with the breeding places of mosquitoes; the value of vaccination, the dangers of patent medicines and home remedies, as well as of supernatural or occult remedies, and the importance of seeking the best medical aid during the early stages of their illness." Funds Raised For the Aged and Infirm. Mrs. Thomas H. Lloyd was in charge of the annual dinner and fair held for the benefit of the Home For Aged and Infirm Colored Women in Pittsburgh on Thursday, May 20, from 12 m. to 9:30 p. m. The home is supported by voluntary contributions and by funds raised at entertainments given by friends of the institution from time to time. The dinner and fair held Thursday were well patronized. Literary Activities of John E. Bruce. John E. Bruce of Yonkers, N. Y., is contributing editor of the Saturday News, Hopkinsville, Ky., and also the Sun, at Washington. He has severed his connection with the New York News, New York. Mr. Bruce is president of the Society For Historical Research in his home town. GREAT AGENCY FOR UPLIFT. Thousands Hear Washington Speak Under Auspices of National League. New York.—Following the closing of its workshop for the unemployed and the return of its associate director, Eugene Kinckle Jones from a brief trip south, the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People held four big public meetings on Sunday, May 16, three in this city and one in Brooklyn. The speakers were Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, and Mayor R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets at the Hampton (Va.) institute and president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. The object of these meetings was to more fully acquaint the public with the purpose and work of the league and to show what it has accomplished during the past year. The first of the series of meetings for the day was held at the Union Baptist church in West Sixty-third street, of which the Rev. G. H. Sims is the minister, at 11 a. m. The Rev. Mr. Sims presided and over 2,000 persons were in attendance. Dr. Washington delivered a most helpful and instructive address. The second meeting was held at Palace casino at 1:30 p. m., and was presided over by Borough President Marcus M. Marks, who on introducing Dr. Washington said that race oppression was not an unmixed evil, as it gave a chance for the manhood of the oppressed to exert itself. Mr. Marks also said that he was proud that he was a Jew. In beginning his address Dr. Washington said: "I am mighty glad to hear Mr. Marks say that he is proud of his race. I, too, am proud of my race and wouldn't change places with the whitest man in America, and I don't want to know any man who is ashamed of the race to which he belongs. "Our people in a big northern city like this have their own special problems to solve, just as we have our own problems down south, but you must always remember that we are one race and that what hurts you here hurts us down south and what helps us down there helps you here. One of your greatest problems is that of adjustment. Settle down and get identified with some one place; then build up there reputations for sobriety and industry. If you can't find the right place in the city go to a small town near by or get back to the soil. At any rate, settle down and get hold of some property and start a bank account. You will soon find that your savings are growing and that you are growing faster and bigger than the bank account." The third great meeting was held at the Abyssinian Baptist church in West Fortieth street, Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell minister, at 4 o'clock. This assemblage was held under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian association, and Mrs. E. S. Ransom presided. The fourth and closing meeting was held at the Concord Baptist church, in Brooklyn, and was presided over by the Rev. Dr. William Maurice Moss, minister of the church. Major R. R. Moton made the address introducing Dr. Washington in his usual forceful, happy manner. The audience filled every available space in the auditorium, lecture room and aisles of the church, and the crowd outside extended for nearly a block north and south of the edifice. Dr. Washington delivered a masterly address and was wildly cheered. Dr. Washington said the New York colored man cannot be downed. If he fails today he will rise tomorrow. "This is the best country our race knows. We may curse it sometimes, but we stay here. I do not mean to say that we do not have difficulties to overcome, injustices, opposition and oppression to surmount, but despite these the 10,000,000 of our people have made more progress than any similar people in the world. The colored people of Virginia own one-tenth of all the farming land in that state. They pay taxes on $54,000,000 worth of property. The white man has increased his farming lands 90 per cent, and those of the colored man have increased 123 per cent." Santamarina Speaks on Race Question. The race question and how it has been solved in South and Central America was the subject of an instructive address delivered by Senor J. P. Santamarina of Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, at Beth-Tephillah Fourth Moravian church, New York, Rev. Charles Martin, minister, on Wednesday evening, May 19. Senor Santamarina is an authority on South American affairs and is an international lawyer of much note. The meeting was held under the joint auspices of the Dunbar lyceum, New York, and the Negro Society For Historical Research, Yonkers, N. Y. Political Doings at Kansas City, Kan. Testimony that colored men were kept from voting at the recent municipal election in Kansas City, Kan., by false certificates of registration was offered by J. H. Franklin at the investigation ordered by Governor Capper of Kansas. Mr. Franklin said negroes living in one precinct were registered from another, making it impossible for them to cast ballots on election day. Avery College Training School Notes. The graduation exercises of the Avery College Training school, Pittsburgh, were held at the Central Baptist church on Wednesday evening. May 26. John D.
