Denver Star

The Denver Star Has The Largest Circulation Among Colored People. Get Wise and Advertise The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star Georgia Man Attempts to Defend Lynching in the South Through Daily Papers, Fearlessly Answered by the Editor of the Ledger in the Same Paper. WE give below the audacious letter of W. H. O'Barr which appeared recently in the Indianapolis Star (white) in which he attempted to defend the nefarious practice of lynching in the state of Georgia. We also give the reply of Mr. Howard, Editor of the Ledger (colored) Being a Georgian by birth and until lately a resident of the Empire state, I feel I must say a word in defense of it in regard to lynching of Negroes. It is only too true that they sometimes lynch them for crimes other than that of assault on women, and I can't agree with them that it is right, but let me say this: You can bet that the Negroes in that state are ten to one more respectful than any I ever saw here, and if the Negroes in this city would just go to Georgia for one week, and do as they do here, it would be good-by with them. Any one that enjoys sitting in the same seat on the cars and trains with them are in my opinion sorrier than than the Negro. I'd walk anywhere before I'd ride with a black Negro beside me, and as to going to the same school or to "Mr." and "Mrs." them, that is never heard of. Any white person that would I'm certain would be roughly dealt with. We southerners know we are better than any Negro and therefore treat the Negroes accordingly. One correspondent spoke of stationing regular troops there. Now if you want hell to break loose in Georgia just send troops from your Northern states to try and prevent lynching and I'll guarantee that you wont have to cover your front pages with war news from Europe, for you will have all the war news you can care for coming from Georgia. He also said to send the missionaries to the aforesaid state. I'm sure they would be welcome for the Southern people are on an average more religiously inclined than the Northern, and I can say are more law abiding. Everybody in Indianapolis knows that the law is not enforced, bar rooms stay open all day Sunday, gambling goes on and most all other kinds of vice which the men whose duty it is to suppress know, but it continues just the same. Lynching is just simply violation of the law the same as any other violation. Has Mr. Simmons ever heard of an officer of the law being put to death in a Southern State for taking part in a murder? And does he ever hear of hundreds being indicted for fraud. Or has he ever heard of a justice of the peace being tried in Criminal Court for selling justice to resort and saloon keepers? Does the South ever produce people who try to blow up the capital of the United States? Or have they ever produced a man that assassinated a President or mayor of some big city? Take these in consideration and decide where your missionaries are needed and don't ever censure a state where people are only meting out justice swift and sure to prevent any other such crimes. HOWARD'S REPLY TO THE LETTER Just a line by way of reply to Mr. W. H. O'Barr, the moralist (?), preacher and defender of the state of Georgia for its lynching of Negroes. We do not know why the gentleman from the "Empire State" chosen to desert the land of his birth and cast his lot among us here in Indianapolis, nor can we say, at this time, how much he has bettered the standard of our citizenship since he has become a component part of it, notwithstanding the many shortcomings he points out to us by way of parelleling the brutal crimes of his section to the civic irregularities of our state governments here in the North. I respectfully call the attention of the gentleman from the "Empire state to the following statement in his harangue of butchered English: "We Southerners know we are better than any Negro and therefore treat the Negroes accordingly," and again "any one that enjoys sitting in the same seat on the cars and train with them are in my opinion sorrier than the Negro." This is very amusing. Is this jaded contorter of facts yet to learn the true history of his "Empire" state? Is the fact yet to be revealed to him that the state of Georgia is in the front ranks of the states of "we Southerners" who produce thousands upon top of thousands of mulattoes, quadroons and octoroons whose existence is becoming a daily menace to the unaloyed preservation of the white race? The existence of these unfortunate creatures should teach him that a social contact, a great deal closer than rlding in the same seat with them on the street cars, is TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 104 Georgia Man Attempts to Decline in the South Through Daily Fearlessly Answered by the Editor of the Same Paper.

HOWARD'S REPLY TO THE To the Editor of The Star: Just a line by way of reply to Mr. W moralist (?), preacher and defender of the for its lynching of Negroes. We do not k tleman from the "Empire State" chosen to his birth and cast his lot among us here i can we say, at this time, how much he has ard of our citizenship since he has become of it, notwithstanding the many shortcom to us by way of parelleling the brutal crim the civic irregularities of our state gover W. H. O'BARR maintained by "we Southerners." Thousands of these mongrel outcasts are today hiding in the white race passing for white people, whose blue eyes and fair skins baffle the most skilled ethnologist and defy detection as to their racial identity. In later years even court inquiries are not infrequent on the subject. To his open threat of the "hell" that would ensue in the event an enraged nation should see fit to send troops into the land of the "Empire" state to stop this wholesale slaughter of human beings, oftimes for the theft of a mule or a cow, and the stringing up of colored women for the attempt to protect their homes against the invasion of thugs, when one of the "white invaders" happened to be punctured with a well directed bullett, I fearlessly make the following rejoiner. The United States Government taught this very same "Empire State" some convincing lessons in 1861-65. Surely this apostle of Georgian virtues should know that there is a vast difference in the formation of a band of lawless ruffians, bent upon the murder of some defenseless black, than a body of men who take the open field in defense of a principle. If he does not he will find it out when "the hell breaks loose" in Georgia. The newspapers, I venture to say, will chronicle a story altogether different from the one he visualizes in his prejudiced heart. J. D. Howard. The above article of Mr. Howard's was accepted by the Indianapolis Star and published on the editorial page. It was on this page of the white paper that Mr. O'Barr's attack upon the Negro appeared. Twenty-Ninth Annual Meeting of Colorado A.M.E. Conference. Shorter A. M. E. Church where 20th Session of Colorado Annual Conference is in Session. The 29th session of the Colorado A. M. E. Annual Conference opened at Shorter Chapel A. M. E. church Wednesday morning, Bishop H. B. Parks presiding. This being the year when delegates are elected to the General conference, which will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., next May, was perhaps the occasion for the ministers and delegates arriving so early at the seat of the conference. Bishop Parks preached the annual sermon, giving timely advice to the pastors and emphasizing the neccessity of a fuller development of this western work on the part of Shorter A. M. E. Church wh Annual Conference African Methodism. The usual statistical work was taken up immediately after the conclusion of the Bishop's sermon and the administration of the Lord's supper.

New York.-The National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People is conducting a convalescent home for colored patients. This institution is located at North White Plains, N. Y. The name of the institution is Valley Rest, because of its beautiful location along the lines of the Harlem division of the New York Central railroad, where, located in a valley, it commands a beautiful view of the hills beyond. For the time being only women will be accommodated, and care will be taken to receive no cases of persons afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis, communicable diseases, serious cardiac and renal affections, pronounced nervous and mental disorders and conditions offensive to others. Its main purpose is to provide complete rest for a period of two weeks or more, if necessary, to those persons who, following a period of illness, are wholly or partly unable to work, but THE HOME OF ELIZABETH C. HARRIS MRS. MARTHA HARRIS—VALLEY REBT. who after a reasonable period of convalescence will regain sufficient strength to resume their employment. The capacity of the house at first will be twelve, but will be increased if found necessary. Applications for admission should be made at the office of the National Urban league, 2303 Seventh avenue, to E. K. Jones, associate director. The superintendent of the home is Mrs. Martha Harris, a graduate of the Lincoln hospital, this city. The examining physicians are Drs. A. S. Reed and E. P. Roberts. Those now being accommodated at the home are very loud in their praise of the institution. The equipment, which is new, has been installed at a cost of nearly $1,000 and is beautiful in its simplicity and comfort. The following letter was sent to Mr. E. K. Jones, associate director of the league, by the first four women to be admitted to the home. It says: "My Dear Mr. Jones—Words cannot express our gratitude to you. Everything is so comfortable and homelike that we are afraid you will have great trouble in sending us home again. Mrs. Harris, superintendent, is the best friend we have ever met. She is like a dear, loving mother to us all. About our meals—well, we think we will be silent for fear you may take ill and desire to come up here to convalesce. Thank you for your interest in our welfare." EPISCOPAL CHURCHMEN TO MEET IN CAMBRIDGE, MASS Conference of Workers Among Colored People Begins Sept. 21. Cambridge, Mass.—At no time within the past ten years has more interest been shown by the people of this city in the coming of a religious gathering than that which manifests itself over the conference of workers in the Protestant Episcopal church among colored people to be held here from Sept. 21 to 24, inclusive.

I am glad to note that you published Mr. Boyle's statement in full. This, it appears to me, is a complete answer to the misrepresentations that were made relative to the action of the tax commission. I thank you sincerely for your courtesy in setting the matter right with me. I praise the reference you make to the forms which have been provided by the state medical board under the "Platt-Ellis" bill. I took this matter up at once with Dr. Matson, secretary of the board. After quite a full discussion the doctor agreed to eliminate the objectionable provision. The new blanks will say nothing about race or complexion with what he was prepared to accept. I trust that this action meets with your approval. Very truly yours. FRANK B. WILLIS. Evil Influences at Work in the South. An Atlanta (Ga.) dispatch says there has sprung up recently in the rural sections of several southern states an expression of racial feeling which it allowed to take its course would. it is believed, do more to prevent the advancement of the Negro and the solution of the problem of the whites and the blacks living in harmony and proper social and economic relation than any influence which has put in its appearance in the last decade. Many Thousands Attend Session at Ohio Capital. GOVERNOR WILLIS' WELCOME Supreme Lodge Receives Remarkable Tribute From State and City Officials In Speeches Filled With Words of Encouragement -Praise For Chairman Robert B. Barcus and Committees. Columbus, O.—The sessions of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, recently held in this city, were preceded by a public reception at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium with a packed house that greeted Governor Frank B. Willis, whose speech the race cannot forget very soon. It was one of the strongest and most outspoken utterances for the rights of man, irrespective of race, creed or color, we have heard. He was applauded again and again. He has endeared himself to the colored people of Columbus. If he continues to stand for the rights of the race in the future as he has in the past there will be nothing too good for Governor Willis that the colored people can do for him in the United States. Mr. Robert B. Barcus, the chairman of the local committee, one of the leading attorneys at the Columbus bar, deserves great credit for the success of the arrangements. He first introduced Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, who told his audience that he was not expected to make a speech and that they usually had preliminaries, and he happened to be among the preliminaries. He said: "Eighteen years ago the supreme session met in Columbus, and the lieutenant governor was the best we could get. I am glad we have got back to Columbus and are big enough to be welcomed by the governor of Ohio." Governor Willis was then introduced by Mr. Barcus in his usual fine flow of language that bespoke of his masterly attainments and very aptly and felicitously referred to the governor as the next president of the United States. The governor said in part: "I was prepared to stand for all the nice things that your chairman stated, all but his last statement about the presidency, which knocked the pins from under me. I am very grateful to your chairman for what he was good enough to say relative to the position that has been taken in this state by this administration concerning the production of certain photo plays. I should not have mentioned the matter here except that the chairman has alluded to it, but since he has referred to it I take this opportunity to say that so long as I have any influence with this administration there will not be produced in the state of Ohio any photo plays that are calculated to reflect upon any class of our citizens. As the chairman has very properly stated, it is entirely proper for the races to live together in peace and harmony, but it is not possible if we allow the production upon the stage of picture plays of this character, and I do not propose to stand for it." Hon. George J. Karb, mayor of Columbus, was introduced by the chairman. In appropriate words he extended a cordial welcome to the Knights and visiting friends and recommended that they should visit the engineering works recently installed by the city before leaving the city and have explained to them in detail the operation of these plants. He further declared that the Knights of Fythias and the members of the Court of Calanthe and visitors were welcome to the city in its entirety, and if there was anything they desired to call upon him and the governor and they would both see that they got it, which remark was received with great applause. It was stated by many who have attended the supreme session and encampment for years that never before in the history of the encampment has there been such hospitality extended them as it was in Columbus by both white and colored citizens. All of the public buildings were decorated profusely with American flags, and also the cluster lights on all of the principal streets were decorated. The three daily papers gave unlimited space to the publication of news items relating to the supreme session and encampment. The Ohio State Journal, the leading and only morning paper published in this city, contained a leading editorial under the caption of "The Pythian Knights." The convention was a success in every particular. The executive committee, consisting of Robert B. Barcus chairman; W. H. Woods, vice chairman; J. W. Harris, secretary; Dr. W. A. Method, treasurer, and W. H. Ferguson, corresponding secretary, assisted by W. L. Anderson of Cincinnati deserves great credit for the manner in which it conducted the convention for it has been stated by the chairman that there will be no bills left unpaid. Mr. Isaac Farley, a member of the general committee, deserves much credit for the manner in which he was able to secure water and light facilities for the camp ground. There were in attendance during the supreme session including the 5,000 men in camp, about 26,000 people during the week of the encampment. All of the officers of the supreme lodge were re-elected. ACTIVE CAREER OF NOTED EDUCATOR How Professor B. H. Barnes Has Benefited His Race. FRIEND OF YOUNG FOLKS. Native Son of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Is Airways Eager to Serve His Comrades. One of the Best Posted Men In His State—Close Student and a Musical Genius. Tuscaloosa. Ala.—Sixteen years president of the State Baptist Young People's union convention of Alabama and fifteen years teacher in the public school of Tuscaloosa, Ala., is the record of Professor Benjamin H. Barnes, A. M., one of the most noted educators in the south and a man of rare ability. In the case of Professor Barnes merit alone has been his guide and the cause of his promotion from time to time and has placed him in the front rank among the young people in this section of the country. He has made his way in his own home town because it was in this place where he was born and it was here where he got his foundation for an education, and he owes much of his inspiration and progress to his father, Professor Jeremiah Barnes, one of the oldest educators in the south and who has been principal of the school here for many years. That is, Professor Barnes started the educational work among the people in this section of the country, and, while he was not principal of the school at the opening, yet he has held that position for twenty-five years, and he had much to do with the laying of the educational foundation for his worthy son. He has taken work from the University of Chicago through correspondence and has a fine library, where he M. PROFESSOR B. H. BARNES. spends much of his idle time in digging out information. He is regarded today as one of the best posted young men in the state. "Serve" has been his motto, and he has never lost an opportunity to serve his people or any one needing his service. He is a Christian, has been since a small boy, and has been active both in church and Sunday school. His main forte has been with the young people. They have recognized his worth by placing him at the head of their convention, where he could render good service. The First African Baptist church of Tuscaloosa knows his worth because he has for almost a quarter of a century been at the head of the Sunday school as superintendent, rendering good service. They have a well organized Sunday school, due to his work. Then, too, he has been organist of the church for nearly twenty years and is considered one of the best pipe organ men in the south. Professor Barnes is considered a musical genius in Alabama. His talent has been used for the development of his young people. He is serving his church and his race, placing the racial needs first. In everything that tends to develop and uplift the race this young man takes an active part. He is connected with a number of fraternal societies and benevolent organizations and is active in them all. During the summer, while not in the schoolroom, he devotes his time to the insurance business, being connected with the Union Central Rellef company of Birmingham. He is kept busy all the time. He is manager of the Tuscaloosa office. Many honors have been given him in his state and his native home. Two years ago Selma university recognized his worth in the literary world by conferring on him the degree of master of arts, one well merited by the young educator. The First African Baptist church is, indeed, a large church. Professor Barnes is one of the trustees and was chairman of the building committee when a structure at a cost of $25,000 was erected by them. Not only is he the secretary of the trustee board and financial secretary of the church, but he is one of the deacons as well. In fact, he is in everything that means progress for that church and his people. He has assisted a large number of young people through school. Co. hop G.

Did you ever stop to consider when you eagerly read your big daily paper how little mention is given the Negro? Did you ever notice that what few lines you may chance to find relates in the greater part to the fallacies and shortcomings of a few of our race? Petty thefts, murders and misdemeanors of various kinds are given prominent headings. It is perfectly right to give mention to such happenings, for we do not approve of them; we too believe in giving a man or woman what's due them—let it be what it may—if it's their due. But when it comes to overlooking all the good in a race and holding up to the public that which is not only objectionable but detrimental to a people, then we deem it time to awaken to what confronts us. It seems to us that it would be as easy to mention the elevating things that the Negro is doing as to mention in particular the degrading. It seems that it would be just as easy to point to the deeds of the more self-respecting, law-abiding Negro, as to center all thought on the degenerate. The Negro race is not more inflicted with this specimen of humanity than the white race. Neither do those of our race who have no self-respect or care nothing for the consequences of crime stoop to do more heinous crimes than those of the white race, in proportion to population. The whole community does not suffer for the wrongs of one white citizen! Then, how unfair to the Negro that all in a community must suffer for the iniquities of one who drops down to the lowest rank of humanity! Now, to satify your own curiosity in this matter, start out and see how little you find in the big dailies—which contain a great variety of news—concerning the advancement and achievements of the Negro. He apparently has no place within its columns, save to mention only the bad deeds. Some papers censure them in the strongest terms—in a way that the average intelligent reader is caused to judge the Negro as being so far inferior that it is a waste of time to attempt to better his condition. In every hamlet and village and country surrounding are Negroes who are "making good" in their chosen vocations—whether it be lawyer, doctor, business man, farmer, teacher, preacher, common laborer or janitor—and they no doubt deserve some mention of their achievements. Occasionally in the country papers he gets a deserved mention, but more frequently more space is given to a misdemeanor than to commending him for his thrift and endeavor to accomplish something for himself and his posterity. The writer for some time past has devoted much time looking over the dailies to find interesting bits of news concerning the Negro, but our search has been almost in vain. Column after column have been given in "airing" a scandal, murder, or what-not, but it's seldom you find the same amount of space given in encouraging him to do his best. Are we not a part of this great commonwealth? Have we no good traits that are worthy of commendation by the press? With its ten million or more Negro citizens, cannot the press of this country find more commendable things to herald to an eager public? With the great progress he is making—morally and financially—how can the Negro thus be so isolated? When we see things as they really exist we can but exclaim, "How long, O Lord," must we endure this unjust intolerance? Would it not create a better feeling if we could only behold our good deeds in print in excess of our bad ones? In view of these facts it behooves you to look well to those things wherein you may have the desired recognition—your race papers and magazines—those periodicals which delight in giving space to whatsoever is commendable—give you credit for what you do. Those periodicals merit your unrestricted cooperation, your support and encouragement. Chickens are roosting high this week.

Now, if this, our new club, strikes you, don't go around bellyaching and telling your friends that the Advocate's got it in for you.

Nobody will wish to make political capital out of the repulsive last scenes in the tragedy of Leo Frank. But it surely is germane and proper to point out that it was in the sovereign state of Georgia that this barbarous overwhelming of law and order took place. The state of Georgia, though unable to maintain its own authority, as ordained by its courts and by its executive, attempts, with large success, to impress its will upon the nation. In congress Georgia has two Senators and twelve Representatives—all Democrats. Senator Hoke Smith is chairman of the committee on education and labor, and a member of six other committees, among them the important committee on finance (which deals with the tariff), judiciary, and post offices and post roads. His colleague, Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, is a new man in the Senate, yet he is chairman of one committee (that on expenditures in the post office department) and a member of five others, including those dealing with immigration, post offices and post roads, public buildings and grounds. Of the twelve Congressmen from Georgia, two hold the important chairmanships on interstate and foreign commerce and on education; while the other ten serve on the committees on rivers and harbors, public buildings, revision of the laws, elections, military affairs, coinage, naval affairs, agriculture, appropriations, post offices, foreign affairs, and pensions. Thus it will be seen that Georgia, which cannot govern itself, plays a big part in the governing of the rest of the country. Lincoln Jubilee Celebration Notes.

ECHOES OF RECENT MEETING District Grand Lodge Secretary P. A. Richardson Makes Glowing Report of Money Received For His Department. Fine Condition of the Order Cause For Great Enthusiasm. By GEORGE F. KING. Nashville, N. C.-The glowing reports of the grand lodge officers of the recent district grand lodge No. 7 of North Carolina, G. U. O. of O. F., held in Raleigh, and the contest between Raleigh and Durham to secure the magnificent $70,000 temple the grand lodge is going to erect are among the concrete evidences of progress among our people in the Old North State. The most conspicuous evidence of the Negro's ability to manage large constructive movements by starting with limited finance was exhibited in the report of District Endowment Secretary P. A. Richardson of this town. Being splendidly endowed with the qualities essential to lead his people in such movements, and being one of the most progressive and energetic laymen in the A. M. E. church, and having become a leading business factor in his community, the grand lodge, representing a membership of 10,000, has paid Mr. Richardson a fitting tribute at each annual session for placing his department on a substantial basis. Mr. Richardson, by judicious management, keeping his finger tips on every detail of his business and strictly honest methods, has become a "native [Name] P. A. RICHARDSON. ideal" for our people in this section. He has shown how the Negro can become a factor in the south, especially in North Carolina, and by his example many of our people are succeeding in the rural districts. The endowment department of the Odd Fellows in this jurisdiction up to the year 1908, at which time Mr. Richardson was elected to redeem it from its deplorable plight, apparently had failed to meet the purposes for which it was launched, and it required a man peculiarly fitted for the task of rehabilitating this department. Mr. Richardson started out with a cash balance of $34.93 and with an indebtedness in this department of over $10,000 of unpaid claims and borrowed moneys and also with a policy in force for $100 which required two years to mature. During the administration of Mr. Richardson the above liabilities have been paid, current expenses kept up over $1,000 in office fixtures, etc., and carrying a policy of $200. Through his keen business perception and sagacity he has saved the fraternity over $90,000. His annual report shows the total receipts for the year to be $28,813,27 disbursements, $4,905,58, with a balance carried forward of $24,837,69. The following leading business men of the state, whose reports elicited pronounced enthusiasm and who by their hearty support have helped to bring about the splendid condition of the order, were re-elected by acclamation: D. G. M., Colonel James H. Young, Raleigh; D. D. G. M., G. C. Caldwell, Gastonia; G. S., Professor J. H. Johnson, Salisbury; D. G. T., Y. D. Garrett, Tarboro; D. G. D., Colonel C. S. L. A.

Interesting Story of What the Women of Our Race Are Doing Through Organization For the Elevation of the Masses—Foundation Must Rest Upon Character. By Mrs. M. C. LAWTON. Brooklyn—Now that the various state federations of colored women's clubs have held their annual sessions and another year's work is to be planned it behooves the women to be up and doing. At no time in the world's history have there been greater possibilities of facilities for women's activities. The progress of races is determined more by the development of the women than by any other advancement. Women everywhere realize this and are spending and being spent for the uplift of the masses as never before. Colored women are keenly alive to their potentiality and are making heroic efforts in the development of a stronger and more substantial womanhood. Instead of persecutions of the colored women discouraging them, they have strengthened them, so that those of culture and ability have constituted themselves into moral, mental and intellectual derricks for the purpose of pulling up the women farthest down. They feel it their imperative duty to stimulate the woman who lacks an incentive to give impetus to latent or slumbering talent. They no longer sit on the summit of fame overlooking the ruins of neglected womanhood, but realize as they ascend they must lift M186 ELIZABETH C. CABTER. as they climb. They believe that women are to be the lever with which the world must be lifted. Kingdoms will rise or fall in proportion as woman uses her influence. Nations will ascend or descend in the scale of civilization in proportion as woman deports herself. The most hopeful sign of racial development is that which begins within the race. Less than twenty years ago the colored women caught the vision, and it is leading them on to the perfect day. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, of which Mrs. Booker T. Washington is president, with an approximate membership of 50,000; the Northeastern Federation of Women's clubs, of which Miss Elizabeth Carter of New Bedford, Mass., is president, with its thousands of members, and our own Empire State federation, 5,000 strong, Mrs. M. C. Lawton of this city president, are all united in heart, concentrated in purpose and marching in a solid phalanx to the tune of advanced womanhood. The one thing which characterizes the women's organizations throughout the country and distinguishes them perhaps from some others is that they are more directly concerned about character building than any other feature. They feel that a woman of moral worth will experience no difficulty in becoming a financial factor. Besides, they feel that the morality of the women of any race must be its cornerstone if succeeding generations are to build successfully on the foundation as laid. Unless the pedestal upon which the statue of the race must rest is properly constructed it will crumble and fall. The colored women all over this country have opened the drafts of their hearts that the fire of love may burn more brightly and that its rays may be a lamp to the feet and a light to the pathway of unfortunate womanhood. That their consciences have been quickened and their convictions deepened is evidenced in our great city by the establishment of the Empire Friendly Shelter for unfortunate girls in Manhattan and the proposed establishment in October of a home for delinquent colored girls. The constant influx to this great city from south and the immigration from foreign countries are placing before the women of New York a problem which must be reckoned with—one which, if not carefully studied, will become so intricate and complicated as to render it insoluble. Our social problems are engaging the attention of the best minds in the country, and certainly must appeal to us if we are to be reckoned with as an integral part of this great and advanced civilization.

In discussing the matter of white teachers in schools for colored people at the south the New York Evening Post wisely says: "Both races will profit by the close relationship, and no one will profit more than the white people of the south, for to them the Negro question is much more important than it is to the northerner. At the same time it is a national problem, and if Georgia writes this law on her statute books she will offend not only herself, but the whole country, by taking a step toward the complication and not toward the solution of the problem."

Warren, Ark.—Walters institute, 1o- vated at Warren, Ark., will begin its eighth annual session with the laying af the cornerstone and the opeuing of its new chapel, ‘The exercises begin Sept. 26 with a sermon delivered by Bishop Alexander Walters of New York city, for whom the school is named, and continue through Wednes- day, the 20th. The Rev. Thomas W. Wallace, editor of the Western Star of Zion, East St. Louis, Il., and the Rev Jobn C. Temple. The new chapel is a modern brick building, affording space in its con crete basement for dining room, kiteh en and pafttries. The building will be hamed Blackwell chapel in honor of the splendid service which Bishop G. L. Blackwell has rendered the schoo! and the southwest during the seven years he has presided over that dio- cese. The bishop also will be present for the event. | ‘The main building of Walters insti- tute, a thirty room frame structure, ‘with all of its equipment, was destroy- ed by fire April 24. 1914. There was only $3,000 insurance, $1,000 of which was used to cancel the mortgaged in- debtedness on the bullaing that wax burned. Notwithstanding this, Profes- sor James W. Eichelberger, principal of the school, has, with the board of trustees, so managed and worked that money has been raised and two new buildings—a large frame building and the Blackwell chapel, which is to be opened in October—have been erected fat a cost of more than $6,000. ‘The frame building has been furnished. current expenses met with a compara- tively small deficit and the work is more promising than ever before. ‘The institution enjoys the distinction of having eight very prominent white men on its advisory board. of which board the mayor of Warren is chair- man. These gentlemen have stood loy ally by the principal in his efforts te rebuild. The school represents in a very large degree what the race 1s do ing for itself in the south. The princi pal addressed four conferences presid ed over by Bishop Blackwell in June. where he received more than $600 for the work, The Woman's Volunteer hlovement, an organization which be gan immediately after the fire de stroyed the first building, has been help ful in securing money with which to carry on the work. Now re-enforced by a number of prominent women in several states, the organization is mak ing the effort to shower the chapel and dining room with necessary equipment and furnishings by Sept. 25. The trustees are also planning to make a special effort on Sept. 26 to raise a large sum with which to meet pressing obligations and to carry the work on throughout the session. The attempt is being made by the manage- ment to show how meager are the | school facilities for the Negro youth Ip this section. There are fewer colleges Faud good high schools in Arkansas than in any of the southern states ‘The illiteracy In the deltas of Arkan sas. near where the school 1s Tocated Is greatest, while illiteracy in Louisiana, whence a nuinber of the students come, is 48.4 per cent, Walters insti tute is doing « fine pioneer work in the southeastern part of Arkansas, of- fering the regular high school course and training in a few industries.
