Denver Star

The Denver Star Has The Largest Circulation Among Colored People. Get Wise and Advertise The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 105 which she entertained the delegation. A beautiful rest room for the ladies was an innovation which met with popular favor. The entertainment of the conference was under the auspices of the several auxiliaries of the church: Deaconess, Stewardess, Missionary society, Sewing Circle, Ladies Aid society, A. C. E. League, Ushers club and Sunday School. Each vied with the other in their efforts to make their day the best. This being the final year of the quadrennium, unusual interest was manifested in the election of delegates to the centennial General Conference to be held in Philadelphia, Pa., May 1916. The result of the election was as follows; Revs. A. M. Ward and Robert L. Pope, B. D., delegates and Revs. Jas. Washington and J. M. Endicott, alternates. Bishop Parks never appeared to better advantage than in presiding over this conference. His men were charmed with the way in which the affairs of the conference were managed and the fine spirit of fairness which was evidenced on all occasions. The desire for his return to the Fifth Episcopal district tor another four years was freely expressed by both ministry and layman. In token of the very high regard in which Bishop Rev. Jas. Washington, pastor of Campbell Chapel, who made the largest report in the history of this church to the annual conference last week. Was elected first alternate to the General conference in May 1916. and Mrs. Parks are held by the members of the Colorado conference, a handsome Thermal Bottle and Brief case were presented the Bishop and a beautiful hand-painted dressing table set was given Mrs. Parks by the men and women respectively. The conference closed Sunday evening to meet in St. Paul A. M. E. church. Pueblo, in 1917. The following assignments were made for another year at the close of the conference: COLORADO ANNUAL CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS. Rocky Mountain District—Rev. A. M Ward, Presiding Elder.

Colorado Annual Conference Holds Brilliant Session The session of the Colorado Annual conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church which was brought to a close Sunday evening last at Shorter Chapel was declared one of the most brilliant and successful in his history. Large increases in membership and conference claims were reported, a well arranged and varied program cover- Rev. A. M. Ward, Presiding Elder, of the Rocky Mt. District of the Colorado conference. Elected delegate to the General conference in May 1916. ing five days was rendered and a fine spirit of fellowship pervaded the entire session. The young people and laity of the conference were given a larger place on the conference program which so fired the hearts of the public, that Shorter's large auditorium was crowded at almost every session and overflowed at all the Sunday services. Our local churches made flattering reports, Campbell Chapel surpassing all previous records and Shorter Chapel rolling up $475 dollar money and reporting 203 accessions to its membership, which is the largest ever reported from this charge. Shorter did herself credit in the very splendid way in P. Rev. Robert L. Pope, B.D whose report to the Conference last week, was the largest ever made from Shorter Chapel, and who elected leader of his delegation to the next General Conference to be held in May, 1916, in Philadelphia, Pa. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPT. 25, 1915 You Can't Catch Rabbits by Beating Bass Drums. There is real neccessity for action to prevent the exhibibition of the "Birth of the Nation... and similar shows which have for their object insult and humiliation of the Race, also to increase Race prejudice. The Colored Protective League has not been tardy in its efforts to protect the rights of the Race, but on the contrary as early as four months and a half ago, when the colored citizens of Boston were having trouble to keep "The Birth of the Nation" out of that city, the Colored Protective League considered the expediency of taking steps in advance to keep that pernicious play out of Denver. Of course there were no blast of bugles, beating of bass drums, nor publishing in newspapers about the proposed action for its well settled that "You can't catch rabbits by beating bass drums." The writer here of drew a proposed ordiance to keep out all such shows as the "Clansman" and the "Birth of the Nation,' that proposed ordinance was discussed and indorsed by the league and a committee, headed by the president of the League, was authorized to present the proposed ordinance to Commissioner Greenlee for introduction and passage in the City Council. That committee presented the proposed ordinance to Mr. Greenlee, two weeks after he was in office and he promised to introduce it. He has not done so. The committee went the same day and had an interview with Mayor Sharpley and other commissioners, all of whom promised the committee that they would not allow the "Birth of the Nation" to show in Denver. But St. Paul said; "All men are liars," and from my experience with some men, I have every reason to doubt their words. Hence the necessity of having a law on our books to prevent the coming of such shows rather than promises The organization which has been boasting about the promises made to it, has been invited to send a committee to meet with a like committee of the Colored Protective League to act togetger, if we are to have the proposed ordinance, which Messers Greenlee and Sharpley each have a copy and promised to pass. As yet, I have not had a word from the other organization and no committee. I had tried to keep the public from knowing what was being done in this matter, for fear that it would excite the enemies of the colored people and that our efforts would meet with opposition. But the cat is now out of the bag, and let out in search of glory by those who should have kept secret their efforts—if they wanted to accomplish any good. The following is a copy of proposed ordinance:— An Ordinance to prohibit certain kinds of shows and theatrical plays in the City and County of Denver, and to repeal all and parts of acts in conflict herewith, and to fix the punishment for violation of the same. BE IT ENACTED by the City and County of Denver, that from and after the passage of this ordinance, it shall be unlawful for any person or persons, company, combination, corporation or corporations to advertise, publish, produce, exhibit, or cause to be advertised, produced or exhibited, at any time or place, in the City and County of Denver, any theatrical play, act, picture, picture show, lithograph drama, photo drama, drawing, sketch or historical production, which is courtrary to good order and the public welfare, and which tends to reflect reproach upon any race, or incites race hatred, race riot, and which stirs up race prejudice, and tends to disturb the public peace, or that shall represent or purport to represent any hanging, lynching, or burning of any human being, incited by race hatred. Any person or persons, company, combination, corporation or corporations violating this ordinance shall be deemed guilty of a misdeamor, and upon conviction shall be fined in a sum of not less than two hundred dollars ($200), nor more than three hundred dollars ($300) for the first violation thereof, and for the second violation and every violation thereafter shall be fined in the sum of not less than five hundred dollars (500), nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000); and said violator or violators shall be confined in the city jail until said fine is naid. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. Salt Lake City, Utah, Rev. D.

Several members dropped out during the year, a few among those called by death, and their places were promptly filled by new members. The presentation to the Grand Lodge of a beautiful silk pennant bearing the initial of the lodge, the date and place of the district session by the Spokane Household of Ruth number 2242, was a feature of the annual meeting.

Thompson spoke on Wednesday evening. It was a glorious night. On Thursday night, which was the last, over 7,000 people passed thru the gates. Major R. R. Jackson, a member of the Illinois Commission, who has worked faithfully for its success, said: The total attendance was 135,000. Closing night, 7,000. Ohio had the best exhibit. Michigan had a very good exhibit. Other states having exhibits were Indiana, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Alabama, Oklahoma, Mississippi, South Carolina. Of special attention is the old grinding mill, 223 years old, showing the way in which meal was ground in the day sof old. The Lincoln exhibit, belonging to old Man Gunther, which was priceless. It is estimated to be worth at least $500,000. The convention was a financial success the second week. I am thankful to the people of Chicago for their liberal patronage of the exposition and especially thankful to the fraternal organizations who came to the exposition in bodies of 500 to 2000 whose entire attendance was about 22,000. In fact the secret societies were greatly responsible for the success the jubilee enjoyed. The number of out of town visitors was in the neighborhood of $26,000. The largest attendance was on the night of the Knights of Pythias, attendance being 7,000, and with the Elks and Foresters tied for second place, attendance being 6,000. On the opening day the attendance was 15,000 and 5,000 were denied admission on account of the fire regulation. That of course being a day of free admission to the public. ISAAC FISHER IS NOT RESTING ON HIS OARS Birmingham, Ala.,—Mr. Isaac Fisher, many times prize winner in national essay contests, is not resting on his oars but keeps adding to his laurels. Recently, the Birmingham News of Alabama said: Isaac Fisher, editor of the Tukegee Negro Farmer, who has gained nation-wide fame as a writer on economic and business questions for which he has won many prizes, has written a love drama, entitled 'When True Love Wins.' So good is the story that the Southern Motion Picture Company, a local firm, has put it into a play, using a number of prominent people in the cast. Church News: BETHLEHEM.

The services last Sunday were well attended. The pastor, Rev. P. J. Price, returned on Saturday, preached a very inspiring sermon Sunday morning. The members and friends were glad to welcome him back. He had a very enjoyable time at the na- tional convention. ‘The echo meeting Sunday night was very commendable, as all of the delegates were full of enthusiasm. The first to speak, Sister N. G. Tyler, who is very much interested in the woman's work, gave us some very good food for thought and any ,mis- sion worker who missed heaxiig her missed a great treat. She wilf Bive another special address when she hopes to make her report complete. Next came Supt. W. A. Moore, who attended the convention proper. He said so many good things that all who heard the message he gave seemed to take on new zeal to do more for the Master. Among the many good things he said was that Central Sun- day School was second to none. He visited the Olivet Baptist Sunday School and Central surpassed it in at- tendance. We should be proud of our school. The final echo was the pastor, who always gathers up all of the frag- ments. He told us many good things out of which there could be gotten great inspiration. As a whole the returning delegation seems to have caught on fire. If you Jook well you will still be able to see the sparks. Ho, for the Mission Circle pumpkin party Nov. 1.

West of the Union church at Dearfield, an attendant of the fall meeting of the Presbytery of Denver, will, deliver the annual mes- gage to the congregation tomorrow morning. At eyentide among the items of-a congested program Elder Evans will report from the Presby- tery. The week has been one of unusual interest with the church. Special mention must be made of the debate of last Wednesday night, “Resolved, that country life is more conducive to good citizenship than city life." Mr. Geo. Gross and Mr. T. C. Mason re- spectively opened the subject for dis- cussion in a fifteen-minute address. Weighty arguments pro and con were advanced by the Rev. Lionel B. West, Messrs. Wilfred Brickler and Willis Evans. A well-spent hour to the pro- fit of the appreciative audience may vel be regarded. Mayor Sharpley, one of the members of the board of judges, the others being Mrs. Laura ‘Hill and Mr. Cammel of the undertak- ing establishment, favored the audi- ence with healthy remarks on the subject discussed. The board of Judges rendered their verdict in favor of the country life. It is hoped that a gathering of men and women foremost in thought like that gathered last Wednesday night at the debate, will form a nucleus for similar sessions at this place during the winter months. We believe the information and inspiration gained from such will be worth while. Last Monday night a surprise party given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Lou Hughes, 2356 Glenarm PI., uy Mrs. Lily Hughes, Miss Hazel Dyer, Miss Bessie White, and others, in honor of Miss Samira Harris who leaves the city for Spilman within the next few days, took place. A large number of the younger people of the church with their friends were on hand. Everybody enjoyed themselves to the fullest. These young ladies are to be commended for their con- sideration toward Miss Harris who has proved herself most worthy since being in our midst. The pastor and congregation wish her every success as she returns to school at Atlanta for the purpose of qualifying herself for her life's work. SHILOH BAPTIST MISSION 2720 Larimer St. Rev. T. E.

Professor Frank Sanborn Values Freedom More Highly Than Wealth. Boston. — Professor Frank Sanborn of Concord, Mass., noted abolitionist and possibly the last of the men who became famous on account of the part they took against the slave trade in America, made a most timely speech to the delegates present at the recent session of the National Negro Business league held in this city. Mr. Sanborn received a most wonderful ovation when he arose to speak, for he is honored and revered by the colored citizens of Boston in a very marked degree. Mr. Sanborn said: "It has given me the greatest pleasure to hear these reports of the progress your people have made in the past fifteen years. But the feeling came over me as I sat on this platform as your guest that this is the time when perchance you may have use for advice from a very old man like me. "It has occurred to me that, as I heard to how great an extent some of you have progressed in getting material possessions, you should be warned that an accumulation of capital is as likely to be a vehicle for unrighteousness as it is for righteousness. I have in mind the coming to our city of Boston some months ago a moving picture exhibition whose exhibit was offensive and indecent in the eyes of all good people. I suppose more than $1,000,000 was behind its being made and exploited before the public. It was just such an accumulation of capital for unrighteousness as I before warned you of. So much money was represented, and of course that much power, that of the free press of Boston, which should have stood on the side of correcting such an offense against citizenship. There were but two papers outspokenly to protest against its continued exhibition. "I have been interested to hear what some of your men said who had profitably and shrewdly made money in real estate and chiefly in the rise of real estate values. Real estate does many times increase in value, but invariably it is because the city in which it is located has grown. And, as you come to think of it, you must realize that it is you yourselves, in your own town, who produce the very thing that increases your real estate values, for the nicer your town and the more upright it is the more people will want to come to that town and make it their home. "I desire to bring to your attention a report of a conversation which took place between Abraham Lincoln and a friend of his named Gillespie, from Kentucky, which I believe has never appeared in print. The two friends met some sixty years ago, and the talk naturally fell upon the subject of slavery. Mr. Lincoln said to his friend, 'I am terribly afraid this slavery will spread to my state of Illinois and from there all through the north. I will tell you what I think causes the spread of slavery more than anything else. If a man of means has his property in the form of securities and bank deposits perhaps nothing much of his fortune will be known. If, on the other hand, a man has two or three slaves to follow him about the young men are apt to be impressed by the evidence of his wealth and by the fact that what he wants he gets. It may be only his slaves who are doing the work, and it is from their ownership and their labors that he has come to have means.' "Your race, you remember, was treated merely as representing only property. Your race was indebted to the immortal Lincoln and in some part to those persons with whom I was associated all my life. It was due to these things that the time came when you were no longer considered to be property, but as a race whose men were just as much men and should be just as free as any other race of men." ELKS' GRAND LODGE MEETS. Annual Session Held In Chicago—Nutter Re-elected Grand Exalted Ruler. Chicago.—The Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World closed its sixteenth annual session recently in this city at Odd Fellows' hall after being royally received and highly entertained by Chicagoans, who understood how to treat "the best people on earth." The reports of the grand lodge showed a remarkable increase in the lodges and temples and a decided advancement in finances. The order is to be credited for standing as a unit for all Elks. There is no division in the ranks, and its era of prosperity under the administration of T. Gillis Nutter, G. E. R., and George E. Bates, G. S., is a revelation. The parade, ball and reception brought the convention to a brilliant close, much to the credit of Great Lakes lodge and its local committee. Officers elected for the ensuing year are: T. Gillis Nutter, G. E. R., Charleston, W. Va.; George E. Bates, G. S., Jersey City, N. J.; James T. Carter, G. T., Richmond, Va.; C. W. F. McMechan, G. E. L. K.; Baltimore; George W. Holbert, G. E. L. K., Minneapolis, Minn.; H. Adolph Howell, G. E. L. K. New York; W. Hopkins Johnson, G. I. G., St. Paul, Minn.; Dr. Stevens, G. O. G., Norfolk, Va.; Henry Chisman, G. Esq., Hampton, Va.; J. J. Jones, G. T. Chicago. Cleveland and Philadelphia entered the race for the next convention. Philadelphia won, and the slogan is now. "On to Philadelphia." Carney Post Wins Prize at Detroit. The William H. Carney Post, No. 46, Pittsburgh Veterans of Foreign Wars, won the silver loving cup at the recent encampment of the order held at Detroit. The Carney post made the finest appearance in the annual parade of the veterans at Detroit. IF IT IS IN THE HAIR LINE, SEE ME MRS. WM. G. CAMPBELL 2835 STOUT ST.

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. The sessions of the conference will be held in St. Bartholomew's church. The president of the conference is the Rev. Dr. Henry P. Delnny, and the Rev. George F. Bragg is the secretary. By previous arrangement the opening services of the conference will be held at St. Paul's cathedral. The annual sermon will be delivered by the Venerable Henry L. Phillips, D. D., archdeacon of Pennsylvania, and the address of welcome is to be made by Bishop Lawrence. This session is the thirty-first annual meeting of the conference. The list of speakers thus far includes the Rev. Maximo Felix Duty of Brooklyn, Rev. Harry O. Bowles of New Haven, Rev. R. W. Bagnall of Detroit, Rev. J. M. Matthias of Boston, Rev. N. Patterson Boyd of Brooklyn, Rev. F. H. Hamilton of Hampton, Va.; Rev. W. B. Suthern of Hartford, Conn.; Rev. Emmett E. Miller of Petersburg, Va.; Venerable Archdeacon Middleton of Mississippi, Rev. J. W. Johnson of New York, Venerable Archdeacon E. L. Henderson of Harrisburg, Pa.; Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop of New York, and Rev. H. A. Parris of Wilmington, N.C. The lay speakers will be William Lee, Dr. Hubert Carleton and Charles Coveny, all of Boston. Pittsburgh's Mayor Bars Film Play. The fight on moving picture plays which have features calculated to arouse ill feeling between white and colored people is still on. At Pittsburgh the last week in August leading white and colored people, with the Colored Civic league co-operating, made a strong protest to the city authorities against a certain photo play of the kind here mentioned. The result was that Mayor Armstrong issued an order to the chief of police forbidding the exhibition of any film calculated to interfere with the harmonious relations of the races in Pittsburgh. THRIFTY ARKANSAS SCHOOL Walters Institute to Lay Cornerstones Church Oversee. Send. 26 at Chapel Opening, Sept. 26 Warren, Ark.-Walters institute, located at Warren, Ark., will begin its eighth annual session with the laying of the cornerstone and the opening 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 Wednesday, the 29th. The Rev. Thomas W. Wallace, editor of the Western Star of Zion, East St. Louis, Ill., and the Rev. John C. Temple. The new chapel is a modern brick building, affording space in its concrete basement for dining room, kitchen and pantries. The building will be named Blackwell chapel in honor of the splendid service which Bishop G. L. Blackwell has rendered the school and the southwest during the seven years he has presided over that diocese. The bishop also will be present for the event. The main building of Walters institute, a thirty room frame structure, with all of its equipment, was destroyed by fire April 24, 1914. There was only $3,000 insurance, $1,000 of which was used to cancel the mortgaged indebtedness on the building that was burned. Notwithstanding this, Professor 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 at a cost of more than $6,000. The frame building has been furnished, current expenses met with a comparatively small deficit and the work is more promising than ever before. The institution enjoys the distinction of having eight very prominent whitemen on its advisory board, of which board the mayor of Warren is chairman. These gentlemen have stood loyalty by the principal in his efforts to rebuild. The school represents in a very large degree what the race is doing for itself in the south. The principal addressed four conferences presided over by Bishop Blackwell in June, where he received more than $600 for the work. The Woman's Volunteer movement, an organization which began immediately after the fire destroyed the first building, has been helpful 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 making 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 management to show how meager are the school facilities for the Negro youth in this section. There are fewer colleges and good high schools in Arkansas than in any of the southern states. The illiteracy in the deltas of Arkansas, near where the school is located, is greatest, while illiteracy in Louisiana, whence a number of the students come, is 48.4 per cent. Walters institute is doing a fine pioneer work in the southeastern part of Arkansas, offering the regular high school course and training in a few industries. ORDER OF SHEPHERDS MEETS Fifth Annual Session of Noted Society Held at Richmond, Va. The fifth annual meeting of the Improved Order of Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem was held for three days the second week in September at the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist church Richmond, Va. The sessions were largely attended. There were about 300 delegates present from the various local lodges whose reports were read and listened to with great interest. The society was organized at Richmond five years ago. The insurance department, after examining the accounts of the order, approved of its work and management without any criticism of its internal workings or financial condition what ever. The report says: "The affairs of the order are in splendid condition. Death claims and the other financial obligations are promptly settled and indicate that the management of the order is alive to the responsibility which rests upon the officials to deal justly by all of the members." Society of Progressive Virginians. The ladies' auxiliary of the Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn will begin the fall and winter work of the organization with an entertainment and reception on Thursday evening, Sept. 30. The function will be held at Lincoln hall, Waverly and Atlantic avenues. Lincoln hall is owned by Alpha lodge No. 1381, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Mrs. Roger Harkless is president of the auxiliary, which has a membership of nearly 200. The society has a good bank account and is free from any financial indebtedness. Its management reflects credit upon the officials, who are supported by a membership of loyal women. Philadelphia's Active Civic League. At a meeting of the Emancipation Civic league of Philadelphia held in the Zion Baptist church the members indorsed the candidacy of Charles Frei White for city administrator. The leagu also went on record as favoring wo man suffrage. The organization is op used to the candidacy of J. P. Rogers who wants to succeed Judge Sulzber er for the common pleas court No. 1. MASONIC ORDER MEETS AT SELMA Grand Lodge of Alabama Holds Profitable Session. REPORTS FINANCIAL GAIN. Thirty-eighth Annual Gathering of Wealthy State Organization Represents Membership of 16,000—New Education Movement Started—Eastern Star Re-elects Mrs. Balasco. Belma, Ala.—The thirty-eighth annual communication of the Alabama grand lodge Ancient Order Free and Accepted Masons, recently held here in the hall of Selma university, was the banner meeting in the history of the order in this state. Grand Master Walter Thomas Woods of Mobile presided. The occasion also marked the twentieth annual gathering of the grand chapter, Eastern Star. Royal Grand Matron Janle H. Balasco of Mobile and Royal Grand Patron Rev. J. H. Rose were in charge as presiding officials. Reports were read from 585 local lodges representing a membership of 16,000. The official reports on the financial status of the two bodies as given by the Rev. A. F. Owens, official reporter for the order, show that Endowment Treasurer Professor R. B. Hudson has received during the fiscal year $93,555.23, and that after paying all ex- J. O. DIFFAY. penses there is a balance of $15,169.78 on hand. The receipts at the Selma session were $12,492.30, which was $2,000 in excess of the amount received at the 1914 meeting. Grand Treasurer Mrs. A. E. Douglass of the Eastern Star reported receipts amounting to $14,235.40, leaving a balance of $3,467.83. The total for both the grand lodge and the Eastern Star was $126,912.26. Grand Treasurer J. O. Diffay made a clear and accurate statement of all moneys received by him during the year from the various sources of the order. Resolutions were adopted by the grand lodge thanking Dr. Stakely of Montgomery for opposing the Bonner bill prohibiting white teachers from Negro schools and indorsed the editors in the Montgomery Advertiser and other papers on the same subject. The Southern railroad was thanked for deciding to place colored porters on its lines, also thanking the Louisville and Nashville railroad for special coaches for delegates to the grand lodge. A strong report on education was read by H. C. Benford of Huntsville indorsing the movement to reduce illiteracy in Alabama, calling upon each member of the grand lodge to teach at least one colored person to read and write. The report was adopted without opposition. The grand master in his annual address recommended the same. Grand Master Wood recommended also that any colored Masons convicted of "bootlegging" should be suspended from the order. After the officers were installed by Past Master James T. Gregory of Greenville the grand lodge adjourned. Among the leading men of the race in the state attending the grand lodge were; Dr. E. T. Belsaw, Mobile; J. O. Diffay, Birmingham, president of the Alabama Penny Savings bank; James A. Bray, Birmingham, editor of the Voice of the People, the official organ of the grand lodge; Professor H. C. Benford, principal of the Huntsville High school; H. A. Loveless, Montgomery; Jeremiah Barnes, Tuscaloosa, the oldest colored Mason in the state; C. N. McDaniel, Hartstelle; James T. Gregory, Greenville; Professor C. L. McWilliams, Professor R. B. Hudson, Selma; Dr. L. L. Burwell, Selma; Dr. P. W. White, Georgia; E. W. Stone, Selma; Rev. A. F. Ownes, Selma university; Rev. W. H. Mixon, Selma, and others. The grand chapter, Eastern Star, reelected all the old officers with only one change—Mrs. D. Burwell of Selma as grand secretary in place of former Secretary Hassen. Grand Matron J. M. Balasco of Mobile stated that 500 women attended the meeting of the grand chapter. The following named persons are the elective officers for the ensuing year: Walter T. Woods, G. M., Mobile; James A. Byrul, D. G. M., Birmingham; J. H. Curtiss, G. S. W., Dothan; Joseph Phillips, G. J. W., Pike Road; C. N. McDaniels, G. S., Hartselle; J. O. Diffay, G. T., Birmingham; R. B.

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 if 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.

Not only have in- nocent as well as guilty Negroes paid the price of death at the hands of a mob, but now it is becoming a cus- tom to lynch any offender—white or black. Mob violence Is spreading at an enormous rate. Grave fears are entertained in regard to the safety of citizens wherever such spirit man- ifests itself, Communities which haye always been considered the abiding places of law-abiding, liberty- loving people have been brought to shame through the acts of a few characters—not men—who have no self-respect, no regard for the morals of the community. Little was it thought by the general public that the folly of such depradations would react upon the white man. But now no man {s safe—when crime or sus- picion points toward him, Yes, white men are being lynched. Only a few days ago a white man was lynched in Missouri, Some remedy must be found. rs IN A REFLECTING MOOD. It has doubtless been many years since Denver has had within her gates a greater number of tourists than have been here this year, and they have come from all parts of the continent, though perhaps the South- land has been the more largely repre- sented. From Chicago, Indianapolis, New York and other eastern cities have come Negroes prominent in bus- iness, church and political circles. Nor have the professional lines been less ably represented, and this is where the South has so largely come in. Denver has done her part by these people and it is doubtful if any went away without giving their word of praise to the open-hearted hospi- tality and generosity of our citizens. The summer's social affairs have all been in keeping with Denver's high reputation. 6 But aside from things social, it is well to note the comments of our vis- itors along other lines. With almost one accord all noted our meagre rep- resentation in the commercial life of Denver and our equally meagre and disparaging representation in the po- litical field. Before we are aware, they bluntly stagger us with the query, “What is the matter with your Denver Negro? Who is at fault that you do not receive greater political recognition?” To attempt an explan- ation would be worse than folly. Per- haps’ the answer can be best given in an opposite condition of affairs known to exist in this city. The writer knows of a large business institution in Denver, the head of which requires loyalty above all else. Efficiency is required, of course, but loyalty is re- garded as more essential. There can always be offered a reasonable excuse for a certain degree of inefficiency but there is never a time when there can be a valid excuse for disloyalty. It is needless to add that this large institution is highly successful in all its workings. Could we as a race adopt as our slogan here in Denver the elements of loyalty and place the brand of Cain upon all traitors, trou- ble-breeders and back-biters; could we see the higher benefits of race pride and unity, it would be but a few years until our bettered condi- tion would admit of no such criticism as has been justly heaped upon this community the past summer. “WELLINGTON.” A CLOGGED SYSTEM NEEDS AT- TENTION.

Thomas shows Need of Vocational Training. BACKS OPINION WITH FACTS Our People In Philadelphia as an Example, Professor Thomas Makes Strong Plea For the Kind of Educa- tion Which Supplies Individual Needs. Charles M. ‘Thomas, LL. B., in an Able article which appeared in a recent issue of the Philadelphia Ledger «is- cusses at length the need of vocational training for colored people. Professor ‘Thomas’ article in part reads thus “The time has come when the color- ed citizens of Philadelphia and every citizen should talk, discuss, invest! gate, agitate and enthusiastically sup- port all forms of education which seek to improve industrial efficiency Having passed the period of explvita tion of extensive natural resources. this country, and especially in its ur ban centers, is facing an era of cou servation and higher efficiency throuszh elimination of waste and increased skill in its operatives preparatory to securing the perpetuity of the republic through unborn generations. An examination of the occupation statistics for the last census of the city of Philadelphia shows 510,871 meles and 200,298 females engaged in the fundamental activities of agriculture. trade, transportation, domestic and jer sonal service and clerical work. ! these persons about 58 in every 114”) are colored males, and 106 in every 1,000 are.colored females. How are these people employed and in what ways can public education aid them and consequently the community in which they live? For, unlike many of the foreign born elements of the city, the colored people spend their earninz= where they make them. “Suffice it to say that these people have physical wants to be satisfied by foods, houses, woods, metals, textile< and clays and drugs, such as all men have, and they. have spiritual aspira tions to be satistied by culture from social contact, travel, amusements. |it erature, music and art, but they have aimed fo satisfy the more pres<inz wants and aspirations by the methods at hand, by imitation and, to a large extent, by accepting any and every op portunity offered by those to whem they could be of any service. “A few, through keener insight. better guidance or more friendly contact and the equality of opportunity, have blaz ed ways for their peculiar capacities to supply the wants and aspirations of those more able to secure what thelt capital would command. In fact, bite adelphia has been renowned amon: colored people for the number and fair ness of its opportunities to secure di Yersified employment, and there are not a few families among Its colored population who are beyond immediate want, if not able to aid others both by charity and employment. Using the method of trial and error. many bave sought to increase their capacity te satisfy thelr greater wants by follow ing the traditional curriculum of the free school system, only to tind ty many instances that such procedure made them aware of even larger want» and higher aspirations without pro portionately increasing their power te satisfy them, “What is needed today is such « method of educating each and every child in this and each other American community so that he may not only know how (o secure permanent and positive good in this life, but that he may know what constitutes such per manent and positive good in an eco nomic age such as this now Is and bids fair to remain. Education today must aim to Inculeate character as just and equitable relations to one’s fellows In all activities, to give training in the skillful and economic production of useful things and in rendering eft lent service by maximum output with minimum expenditure of time snd en ergy and to {nduce loyalty to the state and activity for its betterment. Sucp an aim can be realized at a cost not much greater than that now borne for a training largely literary and clerical. a training which neglects to « large extent the necessity for motor activity in the formation of the very ideas the schools claim to establish. “In the vocational schools the vart dus activities may be subdivided. and the special fitness of students may be emphasized and provided for. An,ex- amination of the figures for colored males engaged in activities connected with transportation and the manufac: turing and mechanical industries show an additional need for vocational train ing for them. Of the 43.554 total males engaged in transportation activities there are 5,676 colored males so en- gaged. This number fs 20 per cent of all colored males reported occupted. but a quarter of that number are en: ‘gaged as longxboremen and stevedores and relatives of these men to meet the newer conditions of motor transporta- tion, which must replace the teamster and expressman, and the endless belts and almost human cranes and convey- ers which increase with the progress of’ industry As now conducted, such occupations are but slightly differen tlated forms of labor. Consolidating all laborers as reported; there are 5,118 out of 5,676, or 88 per cent of all col ored males engaged in transportation activities occupied as laborers of varl- ous kinds. “In the manufacturing and mechant- cal industries 5,115 colored males are reported as laborers, in agriculture 247, in quarry operations 80, thus making 0 total of 11,118 colored males reported ag laborers out of 29,561 reported as occupied. Add to fhat condition the fact that but 20 apprentices are report- /ed with such a differentiation of indus try as 31 colored bakers, 43 colored blacksmiths, 148 brick and stone ma- sons, 54 bullders and contractors, 9 cabinet makers, 177 carpenters, 67 compositors and typesetters, 17 coop: crs, 90 electricians, 12 dyers, 2 engrav: crs, 167 stationary engineers, 111 ina -chinists, 94 painters and glaziers, 18 pa- | perbangers, 96 plasterers, 24 plumbers, 21 roofers and slaters, 39 shoemakers, 31 stonecutters, 71 tallors, 58 upbolster: ‘ers, and it becomes evident that were the colored youth not being trained [away from trade activities by the tra- ‘ditional system of schooling there |would be 500 apprentices among their Journeymen rather than 20. “It 13 at this very point in industrial supply and demand that the vocational school 1s of prime importance, for it is well known that the older apprentice system 1s not favored by employer or youth in this day of sharply differen- tiated labor divisions and high speed. ‘The vocational system helps the youth to select the activity for which he has both interest and capacity, and it not only trains him to a point of relatively higb efficiency, but it gives him such a survey of collateral activities as to make him a more valuable assistant than 1s possible in a modern shop with Its standardized output. “Let It be understood that the direc- tion of colored youth into trade actly- itles demands the enthusiastic support and the hearty co-operation of all class- es through the respect to be granted. the credit to be given and the employ- ment to be possible to those who leare such schools as fit tq serve the commu. nity, the race and themselves. It does not take an economist to see that under present conditions in this country the men who handle the symbols of things rather than those who produce them and actually transport them, are the men who take the larger share of the| profits, but it does take au economist to point out to the youth who would make a short cut to wealth the fact that the men who take the profit must invest capital, foresight and coura-| geously intelligent knowledge of mar. ket conditions in order to handle the symbols 80 as to make the proft. It 1s for the state to provide for the teach. ing of those facts. “All men may not be created equal. ‘but they are created to struggle for ‘equality. and a great industrial center ‘ke Philadelphia can Increase its out- put and Income while materilly reduc. ing Its expense account from charities ‘and corrections by investing In such modern educational machinery as con ‘Unuption schools, part time schools and vocational centers for colored children and for all children.” SUCCESSFUL SECRET ORDER.

Mrs. Jennie Stewart, who died on Sept. 15, 1915, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. S. A. McGuire, was born in Richmond, Va., 68 years ago. She left there when quite young, going to Nashville, Tenn., where she was happily married to Mr. Alexander Beattie in 1862, to which union seven children were born. In the fall of 1870 she was converted and united with the Baptist church and remained a faithful member until her departure for St. Louis, Mo., in 1880. There she united with the First Baptist church and was an active member for 19 years. Mrs. Stewart came to Denver in June, 1899, where she has since resided, becoming an earnest worker in Zion Baptist church. Her life has been one of loving service to all. Denver has not known a more beautiful character nor a more earnest worker for the uplift of humanity. The deceased is survived by a son, daughter, step-son, foster-daughter, three grand children an done great grand child. Miss Mary G.

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 JOHN H. HARRIS 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 Relief 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. GEORGIA LEADER OF FINE ABILITY Success of Rev. Dr. W. D. Johnson of Plains. Ga. ENTERED MINISTRY EARLY. Son of Pioneer Religious Worker in Empire State of the South Makes Wonderful Progress as Educator and Methodist Clergyman — Member of Several Noted Fraternal Societies. Plains, Ga.—Georgia has given to the race many strong and able men in state and church. They have been heard from in all sections of the country. In the rank of young men is to be found one of the brightest pulpit orators, ministers and general leaders in the person of the Rev. William D. Johnson, who was born at Glasgow. Thomas county, Ga., Nov. 15, 1869. He is the son of a minister, one of the pioneers of the A. M. E. church work in Georgia, the Rev. Andrew J. Johnson. Young Johnson was placed in school at an early age and pursued his course of study for several terms in the schools of his native county. His father died when he was fourteen years of age, leaving to young Johnson the care of a mother and four younger children. William D. Johnson taught in the public schools of Georgia for quite a number of years. He was licensed as an exhorter in April, 1887, by the Rev. W. H. Powell at Waycross, Ga., licensed as a preacher in M. B. W. D. JOHNSON, D. D. October, 1887, by the Rev. J. B. Lofton at McDew, Ga., and recommended for admission into the Georgia annual conference in December, 1889, by the Rev. W. O. P. Sherman. He was ordained a deacon by Bishop W. J. Gaines in 1891 and as an elder by Bishop Abraham Grant in 1893. The Rev. Mr. Johnson has served the following charges during his eventful career as a minister: Westonia mission, 1889; district superintendent Thomasville district, 1890; Dawson mission, 1891-2; Cuthbert circuit, 1893; Blakely station, 1894-5; Arlington circuit, 1896-7; Albany station, 1898-9; presiding elder Bainbridge district, 1900-1-2-3; Americus station, 1904-5; presiding elder Thomasville district, 1906-7; presiding elder Columbus district, 1908; St. James' station, Columbus, Ga., 1909-10-11; presiding elder Cuthbert district, 1912-13-14-15. He was elected as delegate to the general conferences of 1900, 1904, 1908, 1912; delegate to the ecumenical conference of 1911; served on the church extension board 1904-8; on the missionary board 1912-16. He was assistant secretary of the general conference of 1900-4; chief secretary general conference of 1908-12; secretary of the Georgian conference, 1894-5-6; secretary of southwest Georgia conference, 1898-1915. Dr. Johnson was secretary of the trustee board of the Morris Brown university 1904 to 1915. He had the degree of D.D. conferred upon him by Morris Brown college. He is a prominent and active member of the following fraternal organizations of Georgia: A. F. and A. M., G. N. of O. F., K. of P., S. C. of B., American Woodmen, S. O. A., Q. P. N., I. O. O. C., H. H. of R. and Eastern Star. He is the founder and president of the board of trustees of the Johnson Home Industrial college, a school for the education of colored youth. He is very prominent as a public speaker and eagerly sought after on anniversary occasions. The Rev. Dr. Johnson enjoys the reputation of being one of the best secretaries the race has produced. He is being prominently mentioned as a candidate for episcopal honors at the next general conference of the A. M. E. church in 1916. The delegates of West Africa will ask him to consent to succeed Bishop Heard. Dr. Johnson is well known throughout the state and by his fidelity and manly bearing has won a host of friends. He is well qualified for higher episcopal honors. He has, in the common parlance, delivered the goods, as may be seen from his record as outlined above. His interest in the various secret and benevolent organizations is of the most substantial sort. Capital Stock $100,000.00 Partial list of Claims Paid: Name Amount Jaura J. Givens $575.00 Walter F.

MAN OF BROAD EXPERIENCE Steps In the Career of a Native Ohioan Who Has Made Good In Many Fields. How the Crisis Magazine Has Increased In Circulation Under His Wise Management. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York. — The progress which many members of our race are making as publishers of weekly papers, monthly magazines, church and Sunday school periodicals is indicative in the first place of two things—namely, intelligence and good business management. Without applying these two primary and highly essential elements to every detail of business of whatever sort, one need not expect to win success in any large degree. During the brief existence of the National Negro Press association our weekly and monthly publications and the men who are responsible for their THE BOSTON EDITOR AUGUSTUS G. DILL, A. M. appearance have been brought more prominently before the reading public than ever before. The patrons of these papers and magazines have become better acquainted with the editors and managers. Their interests have been quickened and their confidence in the management strengthened until hundreds of publishers are personally known to the readers of their periodicals throughout the country. On the other hand, this success, such as was outlined by Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary of the organization, in his address before the recent meeting of the National Negro Business league, held in Boston, shows that the race is giving larger and more hearty support to the literature produced by its own members. The demand now is for more and better reading matter of the kind which interests and helps to educate the youth of the race in the home. This shows an intellectual growth which a decade ago it would have been considered almost folly to hint at in connection with many of our papers. Aside from the foregoing, however, we wish especially in this brief mention to speak of one of the ablest and certainly one of the most modest men connected with any of our publications in the capacity of business manager. That man is Augustus Granville Dill of the Crisis Magazine, at 70 Fifth avenue, this city. After a most successful career as a student, educator, musician and publicist, Mr. Dill was finally prevailed upon to become the business manager of the Crisis. He is a native of Ohio having been born at Portsmouth about thirty-four years ago. Before he completed his college course Mr. Dill taught school in his native town, meeting with much success. In 1902 he decided to resume his studies and entered Atlanta university, where after four years of diligent study he was graduated with the degree of bachelor of arts. Mr. Dill after his graduation from Atlanta university entered Harvard college, where in 1908 he received the bachelor's degree. While at Harvard he taught in the evening schools of Cambridge. From 1908 to 1910 he acted in the capacity of northern secretary and agent for Atlanta university. In the latter year Mr. Dill returned to Atlanta university, where he held the position of associate professor of sociology and was also organist of the school and editor of the Atlanta University Studies. In 1909 Atlanta university honored Mr. Dill with the master's degree. Mr. Dill took up his duties as manager of the Crisis in the early fall of 1913. He has proved himself to be a most experienced, capable and painstaking business manager. During the two years in which he has directed the affairs of this particular department of the best magazine from every point of view the race has to its credit in America it has increased in circulation from 24,000 per month in 1913 to its present circulation of 34,000. The Crisis is edited by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols and is the organ of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. ABLE STUDENT IN RESEARCH WORK Professor Aggrey Wins His Spurs at Columbia. WRITES ON MANY SUBJECTS Instructor at Livingstone College Spends Profitable Time In Studies at Famous New York University—Makes Good Impression on Both Faculty and Students at Summer School. BY JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." Professor J. E. K. Aggrey of Livingstone college, Sallsbury, N. C., who during the vacation season was a summer student at Columbia university, has been giving the faculty and his fellow students in this great university some tangible evidences of the truth of Dr. Arthur MacArthur's statement—viz. "The Negro is born to scholarship." Professor Aggrey's industry as a student, his splendid optimism, his large faith in God and in himself and his dogged determination to excel in whatever he undertakes to do have won for him the respect and admiration of his professors and his fellow students, many of the latter being southern white men and women who gladly acclaim the force of his genius and scholarship. In appreciation of his ability as a clear thinker and of his intimate knowledge of the habits and customs of the people of the west coast of Africa, of whom he himself is a native son, having been born on the Gold Coast, which has produced many able and capable men, such as J. Mensah Savbah and Casey Hayford, lawyers of the first rank in the colony, his instructor in sociology, Professor F. H. Giddings, selected him during the recent session of the classes to submit a thesis for the seminar course in sociology. He selected as his theme "Liberia-A Brief Sociological Study," which was a comprehensive and illuminating discussion of the social, religious, industrial and commercial customs of the Liberians. Professor Aggrey cited many instances to show the great humanity of the native African, his high moral character, his respect and reverence for native law, his keen sense of justice, his respect for womanhood, detestation of strong drink and his devotion to his marital vows. Rape, divorce and lynching are unheard of on the west coast save as the news of these things is brought into Africa by the American or English papers. Another thesis submitted by Professor Aggrey before his class in psychology of which Professor Bisch is instructor was, "Course In Educational Psychology and Advanced Course For Supervisors, Principals and Physicians;" also an intensive study in the diagnosis and treatment of exceptional children and men. On the study in eugenics the professor showed, quite to the satisfaction of his hearers, that the Africans have the larger knowledge of eugenics—a science as old as their civilization. He alluded to the work of the Poro and Bunda societies, which is scientifically exact to the smallest detail. For a thousand years or more the African people have known and appreciated the value of eugenics and have practiced it in the development of men and women who are as physically perfect as it is humanly possible for them to be. There are no insane or inebriate asylums, no homes for the feeble minded children or adults on the west coast of Africa because they are not needed. Miss Mary Kingsley, who lived among the Africans and in whose honor the African society of London was organized, it is said, was so favorably impressed with the splendid work which the black women of the Bunda society were doing that she sought to become identified with it. Buf this had to be denied her because she was white. No white man or woman possesses any first hand knowledge of the methods employed by either of these societies to give sound and healthy bodies to human beings. John C. Calhoun, who at his birth was attended by a black midwife and nursed at the breast of a black mummy, had more brain and more personal magnetism than a dozen Tom Dixons or ex-Governor Bleases. There's a reason, but we won't tell. It is gratifying to know that a member of the race has made such an enviable record in one of the greatest universities in this country that not only his classmates, but his professors, look upon him as an exceptional man, a painstaking and industrious student, a modest and refined gentleman, whose quiet and unassuming manners are indications of greatness and mental powers of a rare order. Professor Giddings in a letter to the writer of this article, speaking of Mr Aggrey, says: "He is a man of ability and ideas. His record at Columbia has been excellent. He should do important work for his race. I shall be much disappointed if he does not." I think I can safely tell this distinguished author and educator that he will not be disappointed in this particular young African if his life be spared, for he has mapped out his work, and nothing save the grim reaper will prevent him from doing it, and doing it well. DR. BOYD'S ANNUAL REPORT Secretary of Baptist Publishing House Gives Results of Year's Work. Millions of dollars in money and many more millions in religious tracts handled by the Baptist Publishing House, located at Nashville, Tenn., are shown in the nineteenth annual report of Rev. R. H. Boyd, the secretary and founder of the National Baptist Publishing House. One can hardly realize the vastness of the facts shown by the report and the staggering figures brought up by the compilation of the year's work. Long since this ex-slave, whose brains and business sagacity have been pronounced by all as responsible for the sum total of the success, has been looked upon as the leading business man in the ranks of Negro baptists. Every year hundreds of delegates to the national Baptist convention await the coming of this report that they may take it to the various points of the United States from where they come to read and ponder over it. In spite of financial depression and the M. REV. R. H. BOYD, D. D. business changes and in spite of the fact that the home mission work was operated from another state and city this past year, the report shows an increase of many thousands of dollars. This was the result of an increase in the circulation of the Sunday school literature in many states where the literature had not been used heretofore. Some of the facts contained in the report show that from 1897 to 1915 $2,306,105.68 has been collected and expended in the operation of the plant and that 136,794,339 periodicals have been written, printed and sent out to the members of the denomination throughout the civilized world, while letters to the number of 3,684,149 have been written and sent out signed by the secretary of the publishing board. The secretary further shows in his report work done by the quarter—that is, for every three months of the past fiscal year, and that the operations of the plant this year reached the sum total of $160,798.33, which is the largest report from the publishing board alone since the establishment of the institution. Heretofore the home mission and publishing boards' reports were made together, giving one sum total. Secretary Boyd further shows in this report the extension work during the past year, giving special mention to the facts concerning the location of the plant, the reports on buildings, the machinery, the office of the assistant secretary, the periodical department, the book, Bible and tract department and winding up with the extensive view of the editorial work and the extension department, which includes the Sunday School congress. The report further contains the story of the congress, with the enrollment of the Birmingham (Ala.) meeting of this year. Dr. C. H. Clark is the chairman of the board and has served in that capacity since its organization as has the secretary. They employ over 150 members of the race and have a mammoth plant operating regularly. KISTLER STILL TO THE FORE Cumberland County (N. C.) Farmer First to Sell 1915 Cotton. Some of the most enterprising farmers in the state are colored men, and it is characteristic of them that when they once establish a record they hold to it, says the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer. Such is the case with G. W. Kistler, a farmer of Cumberland county. For a number of years he has been the seller of the first bale of new cotton on the Fayetteville market, and he has just repeated the performance for the present season of 1915. Should Kistler ever lose the record the Observer would confess to a disappointment. The Negro who holds a record in any line of good endeavor deserves the encouragement of his white neighbors and friends and generally has it—at least, that is the sentiment in this section of the state. Advocates Brotherhood of All Races. In an address before the new thought counress, recently held at San Fran- cisco, Miss Florence MacFarlane, a delegate from London, is said to have announced her intention of living among the colored people of this coun- try in the future. Miss MacFarlane says: "If I can live happily among the blacks; if I can love them as I love the people of my own race, then I will know that our dream of broth- hood for all races may come true."

NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE IN ANNUAL SESSION Citizens of Boston Give Our Race a Warm Welcome. Boston, Aug. 18.--To those who have watched the development of the National Negro Business league since its organization fifteen years ago, it has been to them something in the nature of a barometer of Negro progress. The program for the session which began in this city today at Convention hall indicates what rapid advancement the race has made along lines of commercial endeavor and shows that more and more the business men of the race are getting to the basic principles of modern business. An analysis of the subjects included on its program finds the general thought behind the discussion falling into three great groups representing the three important factors in business—viz. production and manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing. The subjects are so arranged as to show the relative interdependence of each factor upon the other and the importance of their successful operation upon the future of the race. This is the fifteenth anniversary of the league, which was organized here in 1900. The meeting was called to order in the presence of thousands of enthusiastic spectators by Dr. W. Alexander Johnson, president of the Boston Negro Business league No. 1. PROGRAM. Prayer by Rev. Cassius A. Ward, D. D., pastor Ebenezer Baptist church, West Springfield Street, Boston.

Boston.—The year 1915 is a momentous year for the colored American. It is the midcentury year since the armies of the Confederacy and slavery surrendered to the armies of the Union and of freedom. It is the semicentennial anniversary year of the enactment of the thirteenth amendment, which made emancipation nation wide and legal. This year the movements against the fruits of that war have come in the form of criminal legislation and police plays which create ill feeling against our race and also jimcrow laws never before enacted against a thrifty and law abiding class of American citizens. Never before has color disfranchisement been practiced in northern states as is true of the happenings recorded since Jan. 1, 1915. For the first time also the colored nation of the western hemisphere loses its full independence through our United States. Haiti is being almost smothered up under the guise of a protectorate. The world's most extensive and terrible war is waging over Europe, with African and Indian soldiers taking gallant part. Meanwhile for the first time in fifty years this country feels that war with outsiders is likely enough to need more soldiers, thereby giving colored citizens the first opportunity to press for concession of civil rights. Despite this situation, there has this year been no national gathering of colored Americans to deliberate and speak upon these matters. Is there any other civilized racial element of equal size which would not be nationally organized for self defense? Is it creditable to us as a race not to assemble in national convention right away to consider and speak the sentiments of our own element as American citizens? Surely the crisis demands such a national gathering. The only organization the race has of its own along this line is the National Independence Equal Rights league. This body is now free from partisan politics and is aggressive. On its policies all can come in with full standing. Its annual meeting will be held the last week of September. Will the colored American people make it a truly national equal rights race assembly on equality of citizenship? They should do so. The invitation is here extended freely to individuals and to secular and religious organizations to unite with the league in the coming meeting.

NATIONAL BAPTIST EXHIBIT ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION. Governor of Michigan Praises Work of Our Largest Publishing House. Chicago.—Thousands of people in attendance at the Lincoln jubilee celebration, now in progress in this city, have viewed the splendid exhibit of the National Baptist Publishing board of Nashville, Tenn. The exhibit is in charge of an experienced display man, who is employed constantly at the publishing house. In addition to the exhibit at the Coliseum, where the jubilee celebration is in progress, this institution has an additional exhibit at the Eighth Regiment armory, where the national Baptist convention opened its thirty-fifth annual session on Wednesday morning, Sept. 8. One of the most attractive features of the exhibit is the uniqueness with which it is arranged and installed. It shows a graduation in efficiency in the art preservative, having on display the productions in mechanism and literary art from the smallest postal card to a mammoth leather or morocco bound book, the entire exhibit being the work of members of the race employed in the institution. Spectators have lingered long and admiringly at the skill and mechanical perfection displayed in these articles. Their admiration increases when they are told by the instructor that every one of the vast number of people employed at the Nashville institution came to work without experience at any firm or institution in their particular line of work. The exhibit shows samples of twenty-three different song books, in which, in most cases, the music was written, composed, arranged, printed, bound and sent out by members of the race. Every line of Sunday school requisites and church helps needed for the denomination is also shown. In connection with this there is a church supply exhibit, showing that members of the race have actually been taught the art of cabinet making. In the church supply department anything can be made of wood from a collection plate to the most expensive church pews, pulpits and pulpit furniture. Pro Beauty Parlor and Manicuring. Mme. Stan- H.
