TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 106 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 2, 1915 FIVE CENTS A COPY
From Memphis, Tenn., comes the news that a colored woman, Fannie Sheppard, of 1244 Latham street, while walking with two companions, was shot by a brutal policeman. The police ambulance was called and the attendants drove away when they found the colored woman bleeding profusely, as they said they were afraid shewould "bloody the car." Miss Sheppard staunched the flow of blood until she was so, and bled to death in the alley where she fell. It is said that the three policemen have been suspended, pending an investigation.
Mayor Wilson Ballard of the Liberian frontier force has resigned after three years' service and has been succeeded by Major William F. York Capt. E. T. Hawkins has resigned and returned to the United States. Young colored men of education, military traieing and physical fitness can secure appointment to this force by writing Major Chas. Young, at Monrovia.
THE AMERICAN WOODMEN "LOG ROLLING."
Denver Camp No. 1 American Woodmen at its regular meeting Thursday night September 23, perfected plans and completed arrangements for a "LOG ROLLING" to be held at Nippon hall Thursday October 14, 1915. The chief object of this meeting is to further increase our membership and furnish an opportunity for our members to exchange fraternal greetings. Great interest is being manifested by all officers and members. Many applicants have already been reported and the outlook is most gratifying. The dispensation of $2.50 will close after this meeting and those wishing to join are urged to take the advantage of this low rate. When the dispensation will have closed the admission fee exclusive of the examining fee will be $5.00.
Our meeting last Thursday night was a splendid one. Of a membership of nearly one hundred, less than twenty per cent was absent, I am sure it will be interesting to our Denver members to state briefly the progress our Order made during the past quarter. The month of July, August and September constitute the dullest period of the year so far as insurance is concerned, notwithstanding that fact during the months just mentioned, we added to our membership roll nearly three thousand members, representing an increase of a little less than one million dollars of insurance. Our tall membership campaigns begin October 1st, with prospects for great results.

More About Haiti's
Miss Theodora Holly, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, sub-preceptress of schools and vice president of the local association of teachers, in the following letter concludes her statement concerning the recent occupation of Haytien territory by American troops. The first letter was published in THE AGE of September 16. Miss Holly makes a strong argument for the Haytien people and criticises severely the alleged actions of some of the American troops.
This country has need of missionaries, true courageous and devoted. Too many of those that have come here so far have descended to the level of the political and mercenary agitators, instead of trying to raise the people to a higher standard of civic morality and abnegation.
Haiti has had to work out her own salvation, poisoned oftner than aided by those whose very profession and mission called them to point hdr to higher things. In spite of them, a slower teacher, bitter experience, has been at work enlightening her judgement and forming in her a national conscience that the recent crucial events (the American invasion) seem to have quickened into life. It would be too much to affirm that the nobler ideals that this indicates have equally matured in all the individual consciences that go to the forming of the great national organ.
The presence of the American forces, had they taken and kept a friendly attitude, would have been appreciated and welcomed for the security it gave, just as any reasonable-minded parent would feel grateful to the passing stranger for disarming an unruly and passionate child who, h bloody razor, was blindly mutitating all comrades within his reach.
The execution of General V. G. Sam was no worse a crime than those committed almost daily by the American mob, and without the provocation that resulted in the execution of the Haitien President.
It is more than probable that the reported to have ordered the massacre of the prisoners—over two hundred in number; that, owing to the anarchy that reigned, their mutilated and bloody corpses had to be borne, uncovered, to their different homes, and hastily prepared for immediate burial; that there was hardly a block that had not its victim in the lot—one can imagine to what pitch of frenzied indignation the relatives and the friends of the victims were worked up.
It is more probable than the sanguinary propensity which dictated the wholesale butchery of the prisoners, and all the other similar instances in the history of this nation is but a direct outcome of our impious white ancestry. The theory is scientifically tenable. Some one has said that self criticism is a sign of progress. It is remarkable that a strong tide of national self-criticism has coincided with the centennial of our existence as a people, as if the bane of the cursed strain having well-nigh spent itself through the four successive generations, we had reached at last a turning point and were about to begin to be our normal selves.
What a pity that such a grand and legitimate hope should be thwarted and that the infant nation, scarce freed from the former taint should have again, perhaps, to absorb elements destined to retard her normal evolution.
Did not America owe it to herself to be a grand and generous sister to the little Haitien republic? Did she not owe it to herself to lend, as circumstances might require, a guiding aid protecting hand instead of bullying and brow-beating the feeble nation?
For however she may choose to ignore it officially, nothing will ever wipe out the historical fact that, while yet in the fetters of slavery, a battalion, nine hundred strong, went forth from the ranks of this people and gave signal aid in the conquest of American Independence.
If America required further incentive to magnanimity could she not recall the conduct of the blacks during the was of secession? During the great civil war when the legions of the South marched against the Northern heroes, the former had no alternative but to leave their fortune, their wives and daughters and helpless infants to the care of the very people, whose social, economic and political degradation they went forth to consolidate, at the cost of their very life-blood.
And that martyr-race, as debonair and guiltless as the Great Martya of Golgotha, at the peril of their lives, and against their every personal interest, proved faithful to the strange and sacred trust.
For all these reasons, Haiti cannot conceive of the powerful American Republic disarming a child-nation, binding its feeble limbs, then, at the point of the bayonet, demanding her fortune and cer obedience, and calling it friendliness and philanthropy.
it piracy even, but do not call it friendliness, nor term it warfare.
Did America avoid Japan and Germany only to demonstrate her strength on the little African pygmy of the Antilles? No, that cannot be! Haiti refuses to believe that the American people can knowingly sanction such a deed, or their government perpetrate it, for there must be, within her borders, souls noble enough to feel that:—
"He triumps ingloriously who vanquishes without pefil."
Therefore, I send you this appeal, hoping that because of our common origin and destiny, you will endeavor to present the true situation before the public mind, lest the American Eagle forever stain its fair renown, with such a shameful victory.
DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 2, 1915
Huntington, L. I., N. Y. Cornelius Bethlemen, proprietor of a restaurant on New York avenue, will have to defend in the Supreme Court of Suffolk county four suits for damages in the sum of $500 each, for refusing service to Negroes. The suits are filed by the Rev. William H. Williams, pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. church, G. Raymond Squires, a deacon of that church; Henry Brewer, a local preacher, and James Smith. It is reported that two other similar actions are in course of preparation, the parties concerned being from Centerport and Northport.
The fact that business men in Huntington were inclined to discriminate against Negro patronage was brought out by Mr. Squires, who stated that deliberate insults were tendered Negro patrons in various places, in one place a drinking glass being smashed in front of the colored customer, after the men had finished an ice cream soda. The suits filed against Bethlemen are for the purpose of securing civil rights and to put a stop to race discrimination in this village.
There is a strong sentiment among the most prominent white citizens against race discrimination, and many of them have expressed themselves on the subject. Interviews with the Rev. Charles S. Grao, pastor of the Huntington M. E. church; the Rev. J. Jeffrey Johnstone, pastor of the First Presbyterian church; the Rev. Charles E. Cragg, rector of St. John's Episcopal church; Hiram A Baylis, editor of the Long Islander, and other leading men, developed a strong sentiment against the action of Bethlemen and others who would practice discrimination. States made by these men to the Brooklyn Eagle were as follows;
The Rev. Charles S. Gray, pastor of the Huntington M. E. church—"It seems to me that the case, from a business standpoint, is a little different from any other. I would not object to having a colored man eat at my own table, as long as I thought he was a man, for instance, the Rev. Mr. Williams. Whether the

catering to the colored race would destroy a man's business is a different question, but I am in sympathy with the colored race in that they should have all their rights." The Rev, J. Jeffrey Johnstone, pastor of the First Presbyterian church—"I have always been strongly in favor of treating the colored people with all the fairness that they have a right to, as citizens of the United States, and it has always seemed to me stupid to treat them as if they were aliens and worse. In the interests of the country, that sentiment against them should, as far as possible, be removed."
PREPARING FOR SERVICE

BROOKS' LIBRARY OPENED
Constructive Work of St. Mark's Church in New York City
Church, New York, Commended.
On Monday, Sept. 20, the Brooks' Library of Negro Literature at the St. Mark's M. E. church, West Fifty-third street, New York, Rev. William H. Brooks, D. D., minister, was opened to the public with an interesting musical and literary program. A unique feature of the gathering was a number of well rendered solos by prominent ministers of New York city and vicinity, interspersed with addresses by noted divines and a number of addresses commending the object of the promoters of the library scheme.
It is proposed to make this library a headquarters in New York city, where accurate information respecting the achievements of members of our race in various lines of endeavor may be obtained.
At the conclusion of the rendition of a most excellent program the judges appointed to pass upon the merits of the various musical and literary productions, Attorney Wilfred H. Smith, Lawrence T. Hunt and J. E. Robinson, retired and subsequently returned with their verdict in favor of Revs. H. W. Arnett and Gilbert Wilson, soloists, and J. E. Bruce "Grit," whose paper, "Making History," was awarded a cash prize.

NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH.
Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden St. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Residence, 2356 Humboldt St.
The stroke which fell upon Zion in the sudden taking off of two of its most prominent and active members, within a few days of each other, rendered a blow, the weigst of which will be felt for a good many days to come. Sister Wallace and Sister Stewart were each present on the first Sunday evening in September to bid the pastor Godspeed as he left for the convention and to take a vacation, which was cut short in the course of a week by the death of both. How wonderful God works! How sudden the summons! But though coming all unexpected it found each prepared.
Following this week the auxiliary work which was suspended during the month of September will begin activity again. The Women's Bible Class is called next Thursday afternoon at 2:30, the usual hour. This meeting will be followed by the Mission Circle at 3:30. Every woman in the community is welcome.
The Teacher Training Class is called Thursday evening at 8:00 o'clock. The pastor hopes to see every member present. The evening will be given to review work.
The Zion Fellowship Band will meet at 8:00 o'clock Friday evening. It is hoped that every visiting list will be turned in for reports and marking.
The Sunday School Rally Day is set for the fifth Sunday in this month. The days intervening are to be used in campaigning to bring in every straggler and to force the enrollment to a higher mark. Every element in our church and school is to be set at work to secure this end. The standard has been set for three hundred and fifty present on the 31st. Let everyone pull together!
The past five evenings have been spent by the faithful in prayer. These special meetings have brought great good to the church and indicate that we may look forward to quickened interest in the coming activities.
Our B. Y. P. U. services, held at 6:30 Sunday evenings, are becoming a real inspiration. The program rendered by the boys last Sunday was much to their credit. In this work our young people are to take the lead.

was almost sudden and unexpected. This little angel was beloved by all who knew her because of her amiable disposition and cuteness of ways. We commend the family to the Father's care.
Last Wednesday night at 7 o'clock Miss Samira Harris and Mr. Lemuel R.

BOULDER NOTES
Many of the Boulderites came to Denver to attend the sessions of the Colorado Annual Conference held at Shorter A. M. E. church. The Rev. J. W. Rodgers and wife left Tuesday for their new pastorate in La Junta, Colo. These two persons have made many friends during their stay in Boulder. It is hoped that the health of Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers will be much improved by the lower altitude of La Junta.
An excellent and appreciative audience greeted the new pastor of Allen chapel on Sunday. We feel very much favored to have the Rev. A. Wayman Ward, B. D., to come into our midst as one willing to serve the church and the race. Mr. Ward is a young man well prepared to begin so great a work, having graduated from Yale University this year after having completed the courses at Denver and Wilberforce Universities. We predict for him a great life of influence and service to his church. Rev. Ward was entertained during his stay in Boulder at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Gibson. Mrs. W. W. Bryant is much improved at this writing from a severe attack of illness immediately following her visit to Denver to attend the annual conference. Sister A. Harris of Allen chapel is confined to her home as the result of a severe fall.
The wife and daughter of Mr. James of the S. A. E. fraternity are expected to return home from an extended trip to the great Northwest in a few days.
Messrs. Allen, Burchalter, Evans and Smith presented the Rev. J. W. Rodgers with a beautiful leather hand bag as a token of the high esteem they have for him. Such kindnesses make the lives of the servants of the people very pleasant.
Mr. Wharton, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, returned Tuesday from an extended stay in Price, Utah. He looks the very picture of health.
The public schools are now well under way. There is a slight increase in the attendance of Negro children this year, with five girls and one boy in the high school. It is to be regretted that none has as yet enrolled in the university.

CAPABLE BUSINESS WOMAN.
Active and Useful Career of Mrs. Eugenia Nelson of Washington. Washington. Aside from their activity in educational, religious and social uplift work, many women of our race are engaged in some line of profitable business. This is one of the substantial evidences of the encouraging progress of the race which is receiving much attention from the public press. Whenever a woman goes into business she is almost sure to open the way for one of her sex to get employment in the same line of business, of whatever kind it may be. They are contributing in no small way to the home and community life of the race throughout the United States. Their influence in all well organized movements for racial advance is being felt for good.
Among the many well educated, industrious and capable women in this city who are making their mark in business and in the religious and social life of our people is Mrs. Eugenia
JAMES B.
Nelson, who is engaged in the hairdressing business. Mrs. Nelson is a native of the Lone Star State, having been born and reared in Terrell, Tex. She belongs to the Goodson family, which is one of the best known families of the community. As a girl she received her primary education in the public schools of her native town. After finishing the public school course she entered the high school at Paris, Tex., and later studied at the Hearne academy. Mrs. Nelson is not only a proficient worker in her present business, but is also a good milliner.
In the fall of 1910 she was married to Mr. R. T. Nelson, a graduate of Samuel Houston college, at Austin, Tex. Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Nelson came to this city, where Mr. Nelson had, previous to his marriage, accepted a clerkship. Mr. Nelson is now pursuing a course in dentistry.
He is a prominent member of the Twelfth street branch of the Washington Young Men's Christian association. Mrs. Nelson is fond of music and good books. She is an active worker and member of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church.
NEW JERSEY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION TO MEET OCT. 5
Bethany Church at Newark to Entertain Big Religious Gathering.
The annual meeting of the New Jersey Baptist church and Sunday school convention will be held for one week, beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 5, at the Bethany Baptist church, Newark, N.J., of which the Rev. Dr. Robert D. Wynn is minister. The first day will be devoted to Sunday school work. Among the important matters to engage the attention of the delegates after the general literary program will be the election of a president to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late and much beloved Dr. William P. Lawrence, who was president of the Sunday school department for many years.
Wednesday, Oct. 6, the woman's auxiliary to the church convention will meet. The officers of this department are working zealously to make the session interesting and helpful to the members of all the churches in the state connected with the convention. An effort will be made to raise a large sum for home missions and education. Women's organizations in all the churches are urged to send their full number of delegates and liberal contributions for the objects here named.
The main body of the convention will convene on Thursday. It is predicted that many important questions as to the future policy of the convention in relation to its jurisdiction as a state body will come up for discussion. It seems that when vacancies occur in the ministry of any of the churches outside influences control the actions of the members of such churches in the selection of a minister to the exclusion of any advice or consideration of the state organization.
The Baptist church is free to select its own minister without consulting any one except its own membership. This is right, and no one who is well versed in the doctrine or polity of the Baptist denomination will for a moment question the authority of a church of this faith to select its own minister, but in the present crisis it seems that in some instances due courtesy has not been shown to the state convention in such matters.

Success of Dr. John A. Kenney Noted In Many Activities.
One of the best known physicians of our race is Dr. John A. Kenney, medical director of the John A. Andrew Hospital and Nurses' Training school at the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute. He is a Virginian by birth and is a graduate of the Hampton (Va.) institute and Shaw university, Raleigh, N. C. Dr. Kenney graduated from the Leonard Medical college at Shaw in 1901. He served as interne at Freedman's hospital, in Washington, after his graduation until 1902, at which time he became connected in the above named capacity at the Tuskegee institute, where, aside from his other duties, he is medical adviser to Dr. Booker T. Washington and family. He became widely known as the secretary of the National Medical association, which position he held for a period of ten years.
Dr. Kenney was more than secretary of the medical association. The members considered him to be the real life and mainspring of the organization. It was he who guided the organization through its infancy. By his hard and untiring work and self sacrifice he nursed the organization till it became a real power among medical organizations. At the close of his tenth year as secretary he was unanimously elected president of the National Medical association. He was one of the incorporators of the Journal of the National Medical association and is at the present time the managing editor of this publication.
As surgeon in chief of the John A. Andrew Memorial hospital at Tuskegee, which has been built since he took charge as medical adviser at Tuskegee, he has performed hundreds of operations of all kluds and is today considered one of the ablest surgeons of the race. Dr. Kenney is a prolific writer on all medical subjects and has contributed to many of the principal medical journals of the country. He has read papers of deep scientific study and interest before many of the medical organizations of the country. He is also the author of "The Negro In Medicine." Despite his many activities and the prominence which his industries and energy have brought him Dr. Kenney is one of the most retiring and unassuming of men.

ABLE LEADER IN GOOD MOVEMENTS
MAN OF RARE MENTAL GRASP
Pioneer In the Science of Dental Surgery and Militant Champion of Equal Legal Rights and Opportunities For Colored Americans Rated. Among Foremost Men of His Profession.
By JOHN Q. ADAMS.
Chicago.—One of the most striking figures at the recent golden anniversary of the Illinois Dental society, held at Hotel La Salle in this city, was Dr. Charles E. Bentley, who has by his ability and skill as a practitioner won a place in the front ranks of his profession. Born in Ohio and educated in the public schools, intermediate and high, of his native city, Cincinnati, Dr. Bentley moved to Chicago, where he completed his education at Northwestern university and was graduated in 1887 from the Chicago College of Dental Surgery with the degree of doctor of dental surgery. He at once entered upon the practice of his profession in his new home, giving all of his spare time to his studies and experiments. He soon became so proficient that his fame spread abroad, and patients came from near and far to get the benefit of his skillful manipulations. He was one of the first den-
THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN
CHARLES E. BENTLEY, D. D. 8. tists to use hypnotic suggestion for the alleviation of pain, and this added greatly to his success. At the meeting of the Illinois Dental society held in 1896 Dr. Bentley read a paper on "New Outlooks In Dentistry." in which he made the following suggestion, couched in prophetic words: "If the public schools will respond to the growing demand for a larger knowledge of the structure and work of the human frame we may confidently hope for the installation of competent dentists in the schoolroom, who may make examinations of the mouths of children and advise them as to the correction of pathological conditions that may exist. It would also afford a fruitful source for the collection of data upon a wide range of subjects, the importance of which cannot be overestimated."
Replying to Dr. Bentley, Dr. C. B. Roblah dissented, fearing that the public would not take kindly to dental examinations in public schools. Fortunately Dr. Roblah's fears were not well grounded. The public has taken kindly to public school dental examinations, and the public spirited work of the profession in this field is fully appreciated and approved by the masses. Two years later the Odontographic society, at the suggestion of Dr. Bentley, instituted an investigation into the condition of the mouths and teeth of the children of the public schools. One year later Dr. Bentley submitted his report, which was the basis of future work along this line, and today dental examinations are being made in nearly all of the public schools of the country. If priority of action counts for anything Dr. Bentley is the father of oral hygiene, which nowadays claims so much public and professional attention
The Odontographic society of Chicago was organized by Dr. Bentley in 1888, and he was elected its first president. In 1003 the society gave what was practically a great dental congress. There were 3,000 members of the profession and 1,000 dental students in attendance. The real soul of the great gathering was Dr. C. E. Bentley, who by his devotion and painstaking efforts made it a success. He has been a liberal contributor to the literature of both medicine and dentistry, and his papers, which have been read before state, national and international dental societies, have always merited the highest praise.
Dr. Bentley is one of the few dentists who have been successful in the treatment of pyorrhea, the most difficult affection with which the profession has to contend. The manipulation of the instruments requires the greatest manual dexterity and delicate sense of touch. He numbers among his patients many of the wealthiest and most prominent citizens of the country and is one of the dozen or so Chicago dentists who count their annual incomes in five figures. In late years Dr. Bentley has attained great prominence in style affairs.
and his advice is eagerly sought by those who are endeavoring to better the conditions of humanity in general. For more than twenty years he has been secretary of Provident hospital. He was first president of the Equal Opportunity league of Chicago. He is a charter member of the directorate of the National Association For the Advancement of the Colored People, an organization which includes some of the most prominent people of the country in its membership. He has the gift of oratory and is a forceful, logical and convincing speaker.
In 1838 Dr. Bentley was married to Miss Florence Lewis, who was for many years the literary editor of the Philadelphia Daily Press, a woman of rare attainments, and their married life has been very happy. In October, 1914, Dr. Bentley, at the special invitation of the Winnebago County (III.) Dental society, delivered an address before that body on "Oral Hygiene." The same afternoon, at the request of the board of education, he addressed 1,000 students of the Rockford high school on "Paul Laurence Dunbar."
Dr. Bentley's new dental offices are located in the Marshall Field building, overlooking Lake Michigan, where on clear days one may look across the lake to the Michigan and Indiana shores. The dental appliances in the offices are complete in every detail. A man of learning, polished in manner, having entree to the highest social circles and being in touch with many people of great influence, he has been able to do effective work in fighting prejudice against the colored people. Single handed and alone he has nipped many obnoxious schemes in the bud. Many wrongs have been righted effectively, but quietly and without any brass band accompaniment. When anything great in the repression of race prejudice has been accomplished in Illinois and people are wondering how it was done the chances are ten to one that Dr. Bentley is the man who did it.
Dr. Bentley is at the head of his profession. He is not simply a great colored dentist, but a great American dentist. His success has not been circumscribed by lines of color. He thinks American, feels American, acts American and demands and receives treatment as an American. He believes that all men born in America are Americans and is opposed to the use of the word "Negro" to describe the colored people of the country. He is convinced that it is not logical and its use is infimal to the welfare of the republic. He looks forward to the day when there will be no German-Americans or French-Americans or Italian-Americans or Afro-Americans or any other hyphenated variety and when all racial distinctions shall have disappeared.
When the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was organized it was largely due to his efforts that the word "Negro" was not made a part of the official title of the organization. His career should be an inspiration to every colored youth. It teaches the lesson that it is not necessary, that it is even shortsighted and wrong, to limit one's activities to the boundaries of the color line. It proves that there are no barriers which study, determination, constant effort, ability and skill will not batter down.
JOSEPH L. JONES EXPLAINS.
Noted Business Man Denies Claims of Man Mentioned Below.
A man of the name of W. H. Jones, whose residence number is given as 267 South Fourth street, Philadelphia, asserts that he is the twin brother of Joseph L. Jones, proprietor of the Central Regalia company, Eighth and Plum streets, Cincinnati, and that he owns a half interest in the Central Regalia company. The Jones referred to also says that he is the son of Bishop Joshua H. Jones of Wilberforce, O., and that the Hon. James H. Needham, grand secretary of the Odd Fellows, is his uncle.
Mr. Joseph L. Jones, proprietor of the Regalia company, says he has neither brother nor sister. This man Jones is said to have been very active of late taking orders for the Central Regalia company. He has canvassed, it is said, in North and South Carolina, and during the latter part of September he was seen in Georgia. Joseph L. Jones. Bishop Joshua H. Jones and Mr. J. H. Needham say they do not know any such man nor have they any relative by that name or any one who owns a half interest in the business of Joseph L. Jones.
Messra. Joseph L. Jones, Bishop J. H. Jones and Mr. J. H. Needham are very anxious to locate the man who makes such business and family claims as are alleged by the W. H. Jones referred to in this article. Joseph L. Jones is the chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Press association, editor of the Fraternal Monitor and vice supreme chancellor of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias.
Lincoln Jubilee Celebration Closes.
The Lincoln jubilee celebration, which closed at the Coliseum in Chicago Thursday, Sept. 16, was a great success in almost every particular. That it was attended daily by throngs of people may be seen from the amount received for admission during the four weeks in which it was held. The receipts as given by those in authority amount to $13,000. On Wednesday, Sept. 15, the day Mayor Thompson visited the exposition and delivered an address, 5,480 persons attended, paying the sum of 25 cents admission.

ORDINANCE INTRODUCED
AGAINST RACE PLAYS.
Attorney Townsend's Great Effort.
Whether you like a fact or individual or not, just give him his just reward. We were gratified to know that some one in Denver had been alert and brave enough to have such an ordinance introduced before our commissioners for their fair consideration. Denver to defeat this nefarious scheme of repression needs to be solidly united and that means that some of our self-called leaders must bow low enough as to forget themselves and think of the interest of the race, just long enough to present a solid front to the enemy. Men of common sense, good poise, respectable and courteous and intelligent and manly enough to successfully cope with the situation, must handle this affair. Bull dozers and cowards stay away. The Star is wondering what the Ministerial Alliance will do to prevent a play which is aimed directly at the Negro and his bread and butter. We wonder if the white Ministerial Alliance, if properly approached, would not take some action. Why not try it, ministers? Women's organizations, you can be of help in this fight for your children's future welfare. This play is designed, created and produced to make and increase Negro haters of people now friendly. For God's sake, for your sake and for the sake of the peace and harmony of the inter-racial relations in this community, get busy and stop this trouble breeder. We print an extract from the Denver Times herewith.
"The Birth of a Nation" is coming to Denver. This is a certainty, but it is not as yet known just when it will be here, although it will probably be in a couple of months. This picture is undoubtedly one of the best ever made—it ranks among the highest in photodramatic art, and was produced at a tremendous cost. It is a picture that no one can afford to miss seeing, and most every one is not satisfied with seeing it once. With the two big pictures coming, "The Birth of a Nation" and "The Battle Cry of Peace," the Denver moving picture public has a treat in store.—Denver Sunday Times.
Let us hope that this big daily, in which that big broad hearted, public spirited man is interested, Hon. Philip B. Stewart, does not know nor did he know the harm his publication has threatened the Negro. We believe him to be too fair and honest to do our race an injustice intentionally.
"BIRTH OF A NATION" COMES TO DENVER.
Denver Times Favors Play. The crisis has been reached. Action is necessary for the Negro to curtail the increasing prejudice which this hybrid race play is found to produce. The newspapers are beginning to herald its coming. The Star, the only real race paper in Denver, has been publishing articles of objections and reasons why the play should not be produced, as given by our best friends and observers. Have you kept your ammunition of defense, has your mutilion supply of shells of honor and self respect been constantly increased? If so, well and good. If not, then go to the public library, or state library at the Capitol and read the Denver Star files and get right. Write a letter to the editor of the Times, show him that to advertise that race hatred play would only add his strength toward stirring up strife between peaceful and honest citizens. Arouse your white friends for whom you work, get them interested to protest. Button hole and with your reasons gained from the Star convince them that if they are your friends and do not want such a riot as Philadelphia recently had, to aid you in suppressing that abominable film, a prodigy of lies and race hate. Let every Negro in Denver, men, women and even children, write a letter or postal card to the officials and editors of the News and Times. Get busy.

THE ANNEX THEATRE GIVES
EXTRA GOOD PICTURES.
Special Features Thursday.
The management of the Annex Theatre has spared neither time pains nor expense to put the Annex theatre upon the high standard of the down town movie picture houses. He has added a new feature which is very expensive and which will be shown every Thursday night. Directly after the Princess and Strand theatres finish with their leading pictures and sometimes before, the Annex theatre will have the leading photo plays advertised by them. For instance, "Via Wireless" will be shown after "The Galloper," the Gold Rooster play, then will come the famous and entertaining photo play, "Simon the Jester," by the leading characters. These plays will cost 10c admission because of the increased cost for service. Watch the Annex theatre and see how progressive they are. Sunday at the regular price of five cents "A Child of God," a four-part Mutual masterpiece. You are missing a grand treat by not attending the Annex

EXCELSIOR DRAMATIC CLUB SHINES.
Miss Lulu Perry Gives Entertainment for Scott's Church. Play Grand Success. At Scott church Tuesday night the "Noble Outcast" was successfully presented by the Excelsior Dramatic club. The church was filled with well wishers of the players. The prize was won by Mrs. Lyles for selling tickets, and the flowers were given to Mr. Smith, although awarded by the judges to Miss Perry. She declined to accept the honor for her graceful acting. Mrs. J. J. Jackson, the manager of the club, and an understudy was forced at the last moment to take the part of the father and she discharged her part most excellently.
The Excelsior club, which carried off high honors, will play for lodges, parties, churches, etc. See Mrs. J. J. Jackson, 3027 Marion St., for engagements at reasonable rates. Miss Perry was all smiles when she turned over to the trustees a neat sum and the club to which she belongs were her most loyal supporters and gave great praise after the play for her undertaking single handed.

THE SIN OF SILE
THE SIN OF BILENCE
To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
THE WIZARD OF CONCORD.
Professor Frank Sanbern Values Free-
dom More Highly Than Wealth.
dom 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 meet 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. 8., 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. Mechan, 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. Phil adelphia 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.

THE TAROT
FRANZIA M BILLINGTON in 'A CHILD OF GOD'
FOUR PART NATURAL MASTERPICTURE
PRODUCED BY REMIANCE
A TRIP TO LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
AND A BEEF STEAK FRY.
Described by a Star Representative.
Have you ever motored up to the
top of a mountain, built a camp fire
and cooked your dinner with only the
canopy of heaven above you, on a
beautiful moonlight Indian summer
night? Then you have never beheld
or enjoyed all of nature's grandeur.
This treat was given a Star represent-
ative by Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Pritchard Thursday evening of last
week. Born and reared in an eastern
soot-bedimmed, noisy, bustling city
with no opportunity of viewing
nature's beautiful snow-capped mounta-
nals, canons, etc., is it any wonder
that the amazement was pitiful to be-
hold. My delight knew no bounds.
Leaving Denver shortly after six o'clock, in less than an hour we were at the foot of Lookout mountain ready to ascend the beautiful winding roads to the peak.
Not the shadow of an accident to ourselves nor to others came to mar the peace and happiness of the trip. Our spirits arose as we ascended the mountain, unloading all care and worry at the foot of the beautiful incline.
We were enjoying something that money could not buy. The rich could see no more beauty and grandeur in that mountain trip than we. Along the way we passed many autoists in camp and a greeting was shouted back and forth, seemingly a sort of fraternal recognition prevailed among all travelers.
Time and time again we were compelled to pause to admire and marvel at the handiwork of nature in the canons and to praise the ingenuity of the brain that engineered the railroads and driveways through these towering ranges.
Looking back over Denver and Golden, it seemed the earth in the far distance was studded with millions of stars, which seemed to twinkle, reminding us of the school-day poem, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
Arriving at the top of the mountain, another novelty and pleasure awaited us, in gathering the wood and building our camp fire to cook dinner. We found many others engaged in the same pastime and the mountains rang with laughter and song. Over all the pretty moon kept vigil and gave us light.
Our fire started, Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard unfolded a complete camping outfit and we were soon ready to "bill" the steak and "bill" the coffee for dinner. Our appetites were whetted up by the long drive and we did ample justice to the juicy steaks and their many trimmings, prepared by Mrs. Pritchard whose culinary art is well known.
Silver service and a butler could not have added anything to the enjoyment of this dinner. In fact we felt sorry for those who had to be tortured with such ceremony and propriety.
Music and dancing were indulged in by a party of tourists and we looked on for a while, leaving the peak about 9:45. Our trip down was as delightful as the ascension. We stopped at the pretty spring house and enjoyed a cool drink. The night was an ideal one. The weather was warm, even on the mountain, a refreshing breeze stirring the pines.
We arrived in Denver about 11 o'clock, delighted with our evening's outing. This trip is only one of many during this year Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard have enjoyed, as well as friends invited to share their pleasures. The Star representative will never forget the trip and in years to come will be found with her great grandchildren gathered around her knee listening to the story of a beef steak fry on Lookout mountain.

"HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT"
My ear is pained
My soul is sick with every day's report
Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.
There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not colored like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
* * * * *
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
'Tis human nature's broadest, foulest blot.

BAPTISTS ISSUE FINAL STATEMENT
Cause of Trouble at Chicago Meeting Explained.
HOW THE CONFUSION BEGAN
Largest Organized Body of Baptist Denomination Divided on Question of Publishing Board Which Bears Its Name — Legal Battle Stops Mixup For Time Being.
After a lively week in Chicago the national Baptist convention closed on Monday evening, Sept. 13, with the election of Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena as president, Rev. W. G. Parks, D. D., Philadelphia, vice president; Professor R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala., secretary; A. J. Stokes, Montgomery, Ala., treasurer; C. H. Parrish, Louisville, Ky., statistician; T. G. Ewing, Nashville, Tenn., attorney; M. M. Rodgers, La Grange, Tex., auditor. It was a meeting fraught with many animosities. A faction headed by Rev. E. P. Jones attempted to capture the convention, and in the confusion Dr. Jones declared himself elected to the presidency and then went into court and got an injunction against Revs. E. C. Morris, W. G. Parks, G. L. Jordan, P. J. Bryant, S. E. Griggs and A. Barbour. The same day the injunction was dissolved. The convention has issued the following statement:
"The cause of the confusion manifested at the national Baptist convention, Sept. 8 and 9, was the attempt and purpose of the convention to control its publishing board, located at Nashville, Tenn. By reason of the peculiarity of the laws of Tennessee this board elects its own members, although for many years the convention thought by electing its own members in open session they really became members of the board. To its great surprise, in the course of time it became known that no one was a member of the publishing board unless elected by the board itself. That created distrust and suspicion, and the convention at once began to make efforts to come in possession and control of property that is really convention property. The board, through its secretary, defied the convention and refused to allow the convention's auditor to audit its books.
"When the convention convened in Chicago on Sept. 8 with impressive devotional services conducted by Revs E. M. Cohron of St. Joseph. M. O. A. D. Williams, Atlanta, Ga., and W. D. Carter, Seattle, Wash., the program prepared by the executive board of the convention was read. It was then that the faction opposing the convention started a confusion, headed by the Rev. Dr. Brooks of South Carolina. The resolution offered by Dr. Brooks provided for the transaction of business before the enrollment of the delegates, and after some considerable discussion it was ruled out of order by President Morris. It was after this ruling that a faction, with Dr. E. P. Jones of Mississippi, attempted to take charge of the convention.
"Great confusion followed, it being impossible to transact any business. A motion was made that the convention stand adjourned until time for the afternoon session. The motion was voted on and declared carried by President Morris. It was then Dr. E. P. Jones declared himself chairman and attempted to hold a convention. At the time for the convention to meet in the afternoon Dr. E. C. Morris was there and attempted to call the convention to order, but was prevented by the disorderly crowd. Disorder was kept up until the adjournment of the afternoon session.
"The second day's session opened, but before doing so the enrollment committee and finance committee were stationed at the door, and no one was allowed to enter the hall who was not a regular delegate, wearing a badge. When the delegates were seated Dr Morris called the convention to order, and after the opening devotional services and the reading of the Journal Dr Morris began the reading of his annual address. It was in the midst of the reading of this address that Dr E. P. Jones entered the hall, followed by a deputy sheriff, and interrupted the speaker, and the deputy sheriff served on President Morris an injunction issued by Judge Smith, prayed for by Rev. E. P. Jones, R. H. Boyd and C. J. M. Boyd.
"This was the turning point, because many of the delegates began to leave the Boyd faction, declaring that he was trying to destroy the convention. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon Dr. E. C. Morris and others representing the convention appeared before Judge Smith with attorney, and by 5 o'clock the injunction was dissolved, the judge saying to Dr. Jones: 'It is clear to the court that you attempted to take the convention in a disorderly way. The injunction is dissolved.' "Dr. Morris returned to the convention, finished the reading of his address, heard the report of the committee on enrollment and finance; then the convention elected officers, each being unanimously chosen. From that time until the close of the convention on Monday night, Sept. 13, order prevailed.
"We have about passed the crucial test," the statement concludes, "and the convention is now orderly and requests the suspension of judgment by the public for the present."
STRONG PLEA FOR FAIR TREATMENT
Uptift Movements Should Not Practice Race Prejudice.
UGLY SITUATION REVEALED.
New York Age Takes Up Fight Started by Dr. Robert E. Jones of New Orleans on Anti-saloon League. Which He Claims Draws the Color Line In Its Work.
In a recent issue of the New York Age Editor Fred R. Moore calls the attention of the public and our race in particular to the attitude of some so called uplift movements in which prejudice against the colored people is practiced to an alarming degree. The Age points to the acts of one of these so called uplift movements and backs its opinion by quoting from an editorial written by Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate at New Orleans.
The statement of the Age is in part as follows:
"Those who take leadership in the so called uplift movements would probably be the first to deny that they entertain feelings of racial prejudice against the Negro people, yet it is a matter of comment, more or less common among thoughtful men of the race, that there is more race prejudice in these so called uplift movements than among any other groups of people. It is a strange thing that this race prejudice in carrying forward these movements never manifests itself against the Germans as Germans, against Italians as Italians, against Poles as Poles or against any other group of our alien population. But wherever the Negro, who is a native born citizen, is concerned immediately race prejudice jures its ugly head, and the leaders in these uplift movements find themselves helpless—that is, too weak to undertake a straight out, stand up position in opposition to such racial prejudice!
"Our attention has lately been called to the attitude and activities of the so called Anti-saloon league, one of these upift movements, and its officers. It seems that most of their activities during the past six or eight years have been devoted to the south. Taking advantage of the disfranchising laws of that section, which exclude the Negro from voting, the officers of the Anti-saloon league, so it is alleged, have gone to the southern white voters with the cunning plea that their fight for prohibition in the south is not aimed so much at the whites as at the Negroes of the south.
"Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate at New Orleans, is one of the best known and one of the most unselfish leaders of the Negro people. So flagrant was the prejudice shown by the representatives of the Anti-saloon league in Louisiana that Dr. Jones was moved to editorial protest against the discriminations shown by the so called 'flying squadron' of the league. The Negro people of Louisiana constitute nearly one-half of the population of the state. They were entirely ignored and spurned when the Anti-saloon league launched its movement in Louisiana.
"Not only is the Negro generally excluded from all meetings held in the interest of and by whites, but nothing was done to tie to the movement the influence of the colored people as represented by their ministers and business men. In view of the prejudiced disposition of the so called 'flying squadron', Dr. Jones wrote in his paper a full statement, which is called to the attention of the Negro people that they may know what they have to expect when they are dealing with such 'uplifters.'" Dr. Jones' editorial says among other things:
"Moreover, recognizing the situation we face in this city and in the south, the colored citizens of this city (New Orleans) made an effort to secure the services of at least one of these speakers in order that the Negro population might be somewhat aroused on the temperance question. The state superintendent of the Anti-saloon league was written, the chairman of the committee in charge in New Orleans was written and other efforts were made. The Ministerial alliance, composed of all the colored ministers in the city, appointed a special committee to cooperate. No response came.
"During the presence of the flying squadron' in the state the Louisiana annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church was in session in Alexandria, Bishop Napthall Luccock presiding. This conference had upward of 200 ministers attending, with a local membership throughout the state of 18,000 and an additional constituency of at least 30,000. At the time this conference was in session a member of the 'flying squadron' was invited by Bishop Luccock and the conference to address the body and agreed to fix an hour that was convenient to the speaker. There was no effort to yield to this invitation, nor was there a response.
"We reluctantly call attention to this matter because if we could be forgotten and absolutely eliminated and thereby win the temperance fight we would be willing, but this procedure would not win. We will no doubt be told that this is a political fight and that the Negroes have been disfranchised."

So in troublesome days, and in shadowy ways,
In the dire and difficult time,
We must cling, we must cling, to our faith and bring
Our courage to heights sublime.
It is not a matter of hugging a creed
That will lift us up to the light,
But in keeping our trust that Love is just,
And that whatever is, is right.
When the hopes of the world into chaos are hurled,
And the devil seems running the earth,
When the bad folks stay and the good pass away,
And greed fares better than worth,
Oh, that is the hour to trust in the Power
That will straighten the tangle out.
For death and sorrow are little things,
But a terrible thing is doubt.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
VICTORY
When you are neglected, or purposely set at naught, and you can smile inwardly, glorying in the slight, because thereby counted worthy to suffer with Christ—that is Victory.
When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes are crossed, your taste offended, your advice disregarded, and you take it all patiently, in loving silence—that is Victory.
When you never care to record your own good deeds, or to toil after commendation, when you can truly love to be unknown—that is Victory.
When "forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, you press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus"—that is Victory.
When through faith in Christ, death and life are both alike to you, and to do His perfect will a delight to you—that is Victory.
To put the on Lord Jesus Christ, and thus triumph over one's self—THIS is the PERFECT Victory.
BE PATIENT
They are such dear familiar feet that go
Along the path with ours,—feet fast or slow
But trying to keep pace; if they mistake
Or tread upon some flower that we would take
Upon our breast, or bruise some reed,
Or crush poor hope until it bleed,
We must be mute;
Not turning quickly to impute
Grave fault: for they and we
Have such a little way to go, can be
Together such a little while upon the way—
We must be patient while we may.
So many little faults we find.
We see them, for not blind
Is love. We see them, but if you and I
Perhaps remember them, some by and by,
They will not be
Faults then, grave faults, to you and me.
But just odd ways, mistakes, or even—
Remembrances to bless.
Days change so many things, yes, hours;
We see so differently in sun and showers!
Mistaken words tonight
May be so cherished by tomorrow's light—
We shall be patient, for we know
There's such a little way to go.

The W. E. Long Company, of Chicago, has sent out the following sentiments of the season to its friends:
I Am Determined
To respect my work, my associates and myself; to be honest and fair with them, as I expect them to be honest and fair with me; to be a man whose work carries weight; to be a booster and not a knocker; a pusher, not a kicker; a motor, not a clog; to base my expectations of reward on the solid foundation of service rendered; to be willing to pay the price of success and honest effort; to look upon my work as an opportunity to be greeted with joy and made the most of, and not a painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured.
To remember that success lies within myself, my own brain, my own ambition, my own courage and determination; to expect difficulties and force my way through them; to turn hard experiences into capital for future struggles; to interest myself heart and soul in the achievement of results; to be patiently receptive of just criticism, and profit by its teaching; to treat equals and superiors with respect, and subordinates with kindly encouragement; to make a study of my business duties; to know my work from the ground up; to mix brains with my efforts; to use system and method in all I undertake; to find time to do everything needful by never letting time find me or my subordinates doing nothing; to hoard days as a miser does dollars; to make every hour bring me dividends in specific results accomplished; to steer clear of dissipation; to guard my health of body and peace of mind as my most precious stock in trade.
Finally, to take a good trip on the joy of life; to play the game like a gentleman; to fight against nothing so hard as my own weakness; and endeavor to grow in business capacity and as a man, with the passage of every day of time.

BIG MEETING OF PYTHIAN KNIGHTS
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 endured 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 Pythias 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. Fetguson, corresponding secretary, assisted by W. L. Anderson of Cinchinatti 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.

HOME FOR CONVALESCENTS.
Urban League Opens Valley Rest, at
North White Plains, N.Y.
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 Best, 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

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."
Lincoln Jubilee Celebration Notes. By actual count of exhibits thirty-two states are represented at the Lincoln jubilee celebration and exposition, which was formally opened at the Colosseum in Chicago on Monday, Aug. 23.

VICTOR AND CRIPPLE CREEK.
COLO., NEWS.
Mr. Lawrence Cotwell spent several
days visiting in Colorado Springs.
Mr. Geo. L. Craig, one of the oldtimers of the district, returned Sept. 24 to take a position with the Victor Elks' Club.
Mrs. Walter Matthews departed last week to visit her mother in Pueblo. Mrs. Matthews was joined later by her husband, who has held a position with the Victor Elks' Club for the last eight months. Mr. Matthews expects to take a position with the railroad again.
Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs. Kimberling were callers in Victor on Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Chas. Brown and Wm. C. Harris went through the Copeland Sampler last week. The trip was quite a treat for both.
Mrs. Maud Hudgins and Mr. Wm. H. Bryant were the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Harris on Friday in honor of Mr. Geo. L. Craig.
Mr. Earl McGee spent several days in Victor looking after Mr. L. Cotwell's business, while the latter was in Little Lannon.
Mrs. Fred Hopkins is seriously ill at this writing.
Rev. T. H. Pool, formerly of Grand Junction, arrived last week to take charge of Handy Chapel. We hope that he may be successful here as he is highly recommended by his former charge.
Mr. Geo. Cotwell and son Lawrence were the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Canty on Sunday and Mr, and Mrs. W. C. Harris on Thursday.
Mrs. John Chambers is indisposed. The many Victor and Cripple Creek friends of Mr. Robt. Russ regret very much to learn of the serious illness of Mrs. Russ. We hope for her a speedy recovery.
At the present time all the colored help at the Victor Elks' Club are men who live here in Victor and are old-timers in the district. The Elks' Club was opened about four years ago and have used nothing but colored help, but most of them have come from Denver and other points. Since they have all home boys now everything and everybody is getting along nicely and there is peace and happiness.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE.
The officers and members of Col-
umbine Temple No. 11, 8, M. T., do
hereby extend our deepest ; heartfelt
sympathy to this bereaved family in
the loss of one so near and dear. If
anything could have caused us espe-
cial pain, it was the news of the sud-
den death of our dear sister, and to
Jose such a devoted one truly brings
@ deep and heavy shadow. No more
we'll hear her welcome greetings, nor
‘meet her in our temple with her
sweet and smiling face, still should
we follow her example, we shall meet
her face to face in the great beyond.
It has indeed been a heavy loss and
we can scarcely know how to talk of
consolation under so bitter an afflic
tion; still there remains a consolation
to us that there will be a glad and
happy reunion in the temple above
where the membership is compose
of holy angels. We assure you. that
our hearts beat in unison with you
sorrow, yet we are hourly reminde¢
that life is a count of losses.
A light {s from our temple gone,
‘A voice we loved is still.
‘A place is vacant in your home
Which never can be filled.
We cannot tell who next may fall
Beneath the chastening rod;
One must be first, but let us all
Prepare to meet our God.
Resolved, that a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to the bereaved fam
ily, spread upon our minutes and pub
lished in the weekly papers, as the
last tribute to our devoted sister.
