man and woman, a thing that money could not buy. He pictured how even white fraternalist recognized the dignity of the Masons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. For the Masons, Worshipful Master Spencer J. Smithea, in eloquent words of good cheer and happy encouragement brought the gospel message of good done and business transacted at Salt Lake City, Utah. Mr. Smithea, a young Mason made such a deep impression, that the Grand Mastership looms up for him in the near future.
Grand Master Titus S. Rector closed with his strong uncompromising talk upon the sacred historic principles of Masonry, upon which he unyieldingly stood and was elected for the the third time. He brought out clearly and certainly that gambling and whiskey drinking must go. He received an ovation and thus ended the program. When Rev. Collins of Tacoma, Wash., spoke of his observations, Grand Master Spratlin, altho present, did not participate. Nor did Grand Secretary, William Sprague, both of whom gave away to the younger men of the order.
Y. M. C. A. Selects New Secretary.
A call has been extended Mr. T. J. Bell, of New York, to become our Secretary. All boys that would like to take a part in basket ball, meet at the Bath House next Wednesday.
The DENVER STAR has the greatest pleasure in its life when it announces to our Denver folk that the bill drafted by Atty. W. B. Townsend against race plays, which tend to incite riots, was unanimously adopted by Commissioners Pitcher, Hunter, Nesbit and Mayor Sharpley. Mr. Greenlee was out of the city. Whatever might have been the faults, shortcomings and mistakes of the past, THE STAR wishes now to publicly thank those men who were true to christianity, humanity and harmonious government and who refuse to let some theatrical managers make blood money off race prejudice. We are given to understand, that
Sunday night at Shorter A. M. E. church, an innovation was made in the regular services of that church. The delegates of the various Masonic and Odd Fellows orders including the women auxiliaries of the orders, had been requested to briefly give their observations and an account of their trip, together with all favorable and unfavorable impressions. Mrs. Corrine O'Bryant, who was twice elected the Grand Secretary of the Grand Session of the Order of Eastern Star, which convened at Topeka, Kan., this year, spoke very briefly and flittingly of her trip and the flourishing condition of the finance and membership of her order. Mrs. O'Bryant with facts and figures showed that every Eastern Star was proud of having received the Light in the East, and incidently stated that there were room for more good women in the order.
Father F. T. Bruce spoke glowingly of the good order, and how well the former Denver people were getting along in cities outside of Colorado; that everybody who used to be connected with Shorter wanted to come back and sent their greetings to all of their Denver friends. He urged more young men to join the Odd Fellows, The only order which is called a poor man's order, where he works his way upward. Lawyer Ross recounted his observations as to the influence we wielded upon others on our journey and in turn their influence upon us. He spoke of the great protection the secret orders offered the
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCT. 9, 1915
BIRTH OF A NATION RUN CUT OF PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia — Similar scenes to those of Boston, Mass., when William Monroe Trotter and the liberty loving people of the Quaker City objected to the showing of "The Birth of a Nation" and a riot took place there, were enacted here Sunday night, only a thousand times worse. After pleas of all kind failed to stop the play; after petitions were made to the mayor and chief of police and the governor of the state failed, the proprietors of the theator took matters in their own hands and allowed the play to be shown.
It was billed at the Forest Avenue Theater. When the doors were opened thousands of people crowded at the theater to see if the race really meant to show its backbone and resent the disgraceful play. Five thousand members of the race, old and young, went to the theater and demanded that the play be stopped. Police men were called and a riot call was sent to the nearest station. There was a general melee. Policemen beat women of the race, and men of the race took part in the fight, and never before in the history of this city was there such a riot. Broad street for squares presented scenes similar to those of the early revolution, and men fought with sticks, clubs and revolvers. Every young man of the race showed his true manhood by protecting the women. The charge of the police followed the throwing of brick in the theater. White men who were sympathizers of the race took part in the battle. Policemen were knocked to the ground, stamped and sent to the hospital and nearby drug stores. The fight did not last long, but the race got the best of the battle.
When members of the race saw how the policemen had beaten up their women their blood boiled, and another riot took place at Walnut and Broad streets. A man threw a brick and struck a policeman on the head, and he tumbled over for dead. Other policemen were seriously hurt. There was no such thing as fleeing, each man of the race standing to his guns like their fathers in the civil war. They felt it was a matter of race loyalty: that they would no longer bear to see their race humiliated by Griffin and his ilk for money; that race prejudice would not be augmented by such a play as "The "Birth of a Nation."
The front of the theater was completely demolished. Hundreds of dollars of damage was done. The half in not over, as members of the race have determined that if the play continues to be seen here they will do the same thing over again. The race had many sympathizers. Hundreds of white friends who had tried in vain to interest the mayor and chief of police to stop the play were loyal sympathizers. Many encouraged the race to show its manhood in resenting such an ignominious performance as "The Birth of a Nation."
The city of Philadelphia, known as the City of Brotherly Love, has disgraced itself and now belongs in the category of southern cities by allowing such a play to bring such disgraceful scenes as were enacted a few nights ago. Efforts are now being made by the best people of both races to see that the play is immediately stopped and that no such plays as "The Birth of the Nation" are shown here. From the bravery and heroism exhibited by Philadelphia men and women and the broken bones, cut faces and gashes given the officers of the law, there is no likelihood of the play or any of its kind having any success here.
The governor of the state, the mayor of the city and the chief of police are now regretting they did not hear the pleadings of those of the race who urged that the horrible libelous photoplay was an insult to every Afro-American.
At a recent conference with John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and the miners of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co., two Negro coal miners, who had been working for the company 25 years, Messrs Brown and Mitchell took an active part in discussing the plan of operation between the company and the men. Mr. Rockefeller was very solicitous of their opinions on the labor conditions. They made a good impression.
The will of Legrand Ramsey, late of Great Barrington, Mass., filed for probate at Pittsfield, leaves $2000 in trust for Mary Van Allen, colored housekeeper of Mr. Ramsey, and she is to receive the income. At her death the sum goes to Evelyn Ramsey and Charles T. Kellogg, to share alike. The housekeeper is also given one bed and furnishings and she is to choose all these things. The sum of $100 is deposited, the income to be used to care for the family cemetery lot in Great Barrington.
Odd Fellows Trip to Grand Lodge and Observations at the Fairs in California.
When the two delegations from Colorado left this city for Spokane' Washington, the week of Sept. 10, the greatest enthusiasm and the most pleasant anticipations filled each delegate, friend and guest thoroughly. In the first party which left 18 hours before the second were Capt. Silas Johnson of Eugine Co. No. 3, C. A. Burton, Grand Secretary, Geo. S, Contee, W. H. Morris and our estimable Ruthite, Mrs, Thenis Stewart, all of Denver, who were accompanied by Grand Treasurer, W. E. Proctor, of Colorado Springs, Deputy D. G. M. Henry Nelson, of Pueblo, and W. H. Wadsworth also of Pueblo.
The second delegation consisted of Grand Master Dr. P. E. Spratlin, Geo. D. Hall, A. W. Stradwick and Atty. Geo. G. Ross. At Edgmont, S. Dakota, Mr. Virgil Ward, who was traveling from Kansas City to Billings, Mont., was met and gave the second delegation a most royal welcome and left a souvenia "coffee can," a thing of delight and joy forever.
Swiftly passing through Sheridan, Wyo., where two lodge brethern were down to greet their journeying brethern, we soon passed General Custer's memorable monument about dusk and at 9 p.m., Saturday Sept. 11, we were in Billings, Mont., a very beautiful city, One of the most thrilling, pleasant and enjoyable trips and sights of a lifetime, only exceeded in granduer and emotional ecstacy by the trip to the top by cog road of our historic and elevated Pike's Peak, was the indescribable scene of the valley from the train in the midst of the mountains, which had to circled again and again and tunneled, as the train came into Butte, Mont., early Sunday morning.
Words fail to picture the mountain beauty of foliage, moss covered rocks and dashing streams, and far far below in the valley of waving meadows, green with corn, wheat, rye and barley.
At Butte we were joined by Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Shannon, both of whom belonged to our order. Riding all day through a most picturesque country of grain and now, and then we came to a lumber mill with acres of logs ready to be made into lumber. The many saw mills and the wooded forests of pine trees whose dizzy heights were easily 60 to 90 feet and still growing, and Lake Ponderey, which extended 25 miles along the railroad, can never be forgotten by our party, who were then in Idaho. Nor can the extended bridge three miles long, whose center had a swinging suspension part, ever fail to claim some of our attention, because of the creepy

feeling it produced when the train slowly passed over it. At 6 p. m. by Spokane time, (we were one hour fast) we arrived at the depot and were happily met and given the hearty Odd Fellow welcome. The general committee, Timmons Walton, Anderson Thompson, Wilson and Rev. S. L. Wilson, accompanied by our first delegation increased by Father Bruce and Rev. J. H. Wilkerson of Salt Lake City, Utah, came down and escorted us to the hall. Soon the brothers went to their assigned places and at night found them at the African Methodist and Baptist churches. Rev. Wilkerson filled the pulpit at Calvary Baptist church.
Monday morning found all of us bright and cheerful at our place of duty at the hail. Special headquarters had been arranged at a nearby hotel for some of the delegates. Four energetic and loyal Household of Ruths of No. 2142, Spokane, Wash., presented to the Grand Master a large size "Spokane Pennant," 15 feet long. The Ruth who made the presentation speech was eloquent, sincere and kind, especially when a golden key to the gates of the city, to their homes, to their many hearts and very souls was generously offered the Grand Lodge. The Grand Master was overcome with joy for a moment and slowly recovering Dr. Spratlin took care of the situation in an eloquent manner.
Monday night in one of the down town halls, an entertainment in the way of a very instructive, pleasing and interesting program, given by the best talent of Spokane. The Misses Timmons contralto and soprano sang and responded to six encores. These young ladies now sang to Dr. Spratlin, who was prominently identified with their welfare during their intancy. This pleased the Grand Master and the audience felt their nearness to him, because of his former actions in Denver years ago,
Two men who distinguished themselves upon the program that evening were Nathanial Ford of Helena, Mont., and Rev. M. H. Wilkerson, a polished orator from Calvary Baptist church of Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Mayor of the city gave us such a royal welcome to his city and made us feel that we were real men both by his conduct and words. In the most choice words of rhetoric and eloquence, Lawyer, student Anderson Anderson of Spokane, welcomed us to the city. His remarks thoroughly enthused the Mayor and the spirit was caught by our District Grand Master.

Miss Mary G. Evans of Chicago, Ill., the evangelist whom all Denver loves, will arrive in the city today and will fill the pulpit at Shorter tomorrow, both morning and evening. A great outpouring of the citizens of Denver is expected at both services and therefore comfortable seats can be assured those only who come early. On Monday evening Miss Evans will deliver her popular lecture, "A Trip to the Holy Land," which is said to be one of the finest lectures of its kind before the American public. You have not heard Miss Evans at her best until you have heard this lecture. The admission will be 25 cents. Tickets are now on sale. From present indications the forecast is that Shorter's auditorium will not be sufficient to accommodate the large number that will turn out on this occasion. It is predicted that not less than eight hundred people will hear this lecture.
Our sick list this week includes Sisters Effie Waldon, 1218 24th Ave., and Elizabeth Crane, parsonage; Brothers J. P. Perkins, 1025 Bannock St.; H. G. Mason, 2352 Humboldt St.; Harry Jones, 2056 Arapahoe St.; D. R. Gay, Bank Block. All of them are convalescing.

Both Sabbath school and divine services were well attended last Sabbath. The adult Bible class was well represented by mothers and fathers of the church. The presence of the members of the Session is a mark of good example. Let everybody cooperate to make the school and church what they should be in the community.
Let not the enthusiasm gained during the week of anniversary exercises die out, but let it be an inspiration for every member to push his shoulders to the wheel and pull the gospel wagon.
The pastor finishes the series of his discourses of seven tomorrow morning. At eventide there will be a special message for the race. It is hoped that every race lover will attend this special service. You may agree, or you may disagree with the pulpit's deliverance on the "Racial Weaknesses That Require Immediate Doctoring," cut come all the same and pass your verdict.

IMPROVING RURAL SCHOOLS.
Report of the Jeanes Fund Board Showa Great Achievements.
The report of the Jeannes fund board for the past school year shows that it co-operated during the year with public school superintendents in 133 counties in fourteen states. The supervising industrial teachers, paid partly by the counties and partly by the Jeannes fund, visited regularly in these counties 3,463 country schools, making in all 17,312 visits and raising for purposes of school improvement $73,438. The business of these traveling teachers, working under the direction of the county superintendents, is to introduce into the small country school simple home industries, to give talks and lessons on sanitation and personal cleanliness, to encourage the improvement of schoolhouse and school grounds and to conduct gardening clubs and other winds of clubs for the betterment of the school and the neighborhood.
Mayor Thompson's Reply to His Critics.
Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago in answer to those who criticise him for appointing colored citizens to office gives the following as his reasons:
"Because the persons appointed were essentially fitted and qualified for the positions they were selected to fill.
"Because, in the name of humanity, it is my duty to do what I can to elevate rather than degrade any class of American citizens.
"Because during the pre-election campaign I gave you my word that if elected I would give you a square deal, and Bill Thompson keeps his word."

COUGHS THAT ARE STOPPED!
Careful people see that they are stopped. Dr. King's New Discovery is a remedy of tried merit. It has held its own on the market for 46 years. Youth and old age testify to its soothing and healing qualities. Pneumonia and lung troubles are of en caused by delay of treatment. Dr. King's New Discovery stops those sucking coughs and relieves the grippy endencies. Money back if it falls on and $1.00.

James Reese Europe Gives Secret of
High Standard Attained.
New York.—In reply to x correspond-
ent of the New York Evening Sun who
asked -the question, “Why” does society
prefer the Negro musician?” Mr. Jamex
Reese Europe, the well known com-
poser and orchestra leader, says:
‘This is a question recently asked by
‘one of your correspondents whose let-
ter on the subject was the subject of
editorial comment in a recent issue of
the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
If the Negro musician enjoys any
preference at all he does not enjoy it
solely because of his color. In this oc-
¢upation, 28 in all other desirable ones
here in America, the Negro’s color is
a landicap, and wherever he achieves
success be does so in the face of doubly
severe competition. In certain branches
‘of his occupation the Negro musician
has been successful—in furnishing en-
tertainment at dinner parties, recep-
tions and other social functions similar
in character, and in furnishing dance
music. For work of the former kind
his services have always been in de-
mind because of his unfailing good na-
ture, his genial, kindly humor and his
versatility. Until recently those who
enguged in this work were for the most
part untrained musicians who relied
solely on thelr natural talents for suc
cons.
In the last few years, however, a
new type/of Negro musician bas ap-
peared. His appearance is due to the
widespread popularity of the so called
modern dances and the consequent de-
mand for dance music of which the
distinguishing characteristic is an ec-
centric tempo. Such music usually
takes the form of a highly syncopated
melody, which in the early period of
its development was known as “rag
UUme" music. Since the dance is born
ot music it is quite apparent that the
modern dance is a creature of the syn-
copated melody. Thus a new field has
been opened to musicians in which this
new type of Negro musician has suc
ceeded. His success has been due to
his efficiency, and his efficiency ix due
to several facts,
He fs a natural musician and throws
himself into the spirit of his work with
spontaneous enthusiasm, so that the
music rendered by a Negro orchestra
rarely bas the mechanical quality
which {# fatal to dancing. The Negro
has @ superior sense of rhythm, pecul-
larly adapting him for dance music
‘The art of playing the modern synco-
pated music is to him a uatural gift.
He excels in the use of the guitar, ban.
jo and mandolin, instruments which
are now being generally adopted by or
chestras playing dance music to obtain
the “thram-thrum” effect and the ec-
centric, accentuated beat so desirable
in dance music, and he was the first to
discover the availability of these In-
xtruments for such purpose.
In addition to bis natural talent in
the above respects the modern Negro
musician is well trained in his art. He
reads readily, memorizes marvelously
well, interprets naturally and not only
understands the principles of technique
In the use of his instrument, but fs re-
markably skiliful in execution, as Is to
be expected when one considers that
the Negro pousesses a rare faculty for
arts requiring physical skill. Perhaps
it is fair to say that the Negro has con:
tributed to American music whatever
distinctive quality 1t porsesses. Cer-
tainly he 4s the originator of the high-
ly syncopated melody so much in favor
today. It is therefore only natural that
the Negro musician should interpret
this music best.
Some years ago in Cole J. Johnson's
show. of which the writer was musical
director, there was a number contain-
Ing a peculiarly syncopated passaze
which not a single white orchestra
ever succeeded in playing correctly.
while colored orchestras played it with-
out effort, unconscious of its intrica-
cles Such preference as the Negro mu-
sician may enjoy is therefore due to
efficiency which is the result of a nat-
ural inheritance. It 1s also true that
he Is applying himself to the serfous
study of his music. Many of the mem:
Wers of orchestras are arrangers and
composers. There are ten or fifteen
such men in this city who have attain-
ed a high place in thelr profession.

EDITOR'S BLACK HAND LETTERS
In the past month the Denver Star editors, Chas. S. Muse and Geo. G. Ross, have received three or four black hand letters threatening death and injury if we pursue the course of upholding the morality and high standing of fearlessness in the Negro race. We said some time ago, and we reiterate it now most strongly, live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish, we give our lives, our property, our all to the defense of the Negro race and to the principles of justice, liberty and equality. Threatening letters and personal abuse to the contrary notwithstanding. We have determined, regardless as to the cost, that the grafting, hat-in-hand, time-serving, grinning, treacherous and dangerous Negro scoundrel MUST GO, or we die trying. He has maligned the race for a job; he has deceived our white friends and helpers as to his standing and representative ability among us; he has lied both to them and to us, and nothing remains but for the good or evil to survive. No letters, no abuse, no influence, direct or indirect, can swerve us from our purpose and we will be felt. If we lose our lives doing the right, upholding the just, God will raise up in our blood and upon the same principles we are standing on, some strong man to take our places. Negro bunc steerers, grafters, deceivers and the like, we are not afraid and we shall continue this fight at whatever cost.
To our Denver friends and well wishers, we have this to say: Give us your support, pay up your bills as promptly as you can, get everybody you can to take the Star because we are fighting enemies without and enemies within. We do it for your sakes and at times at financial loss to us. More money is made fooling and deceiving you by selling out your rights and manhood and womanhood. If you want us to grow, become strong and really be a credit to you and this community, pay up, help us constantly. We print the last black hand letter which we have, with the rest, turned over to the U. S. postal authorities.
Mr. C. S. Muse, G. G. Ross, Editors,
Denver Star, 1026 19th St., City.
"You haven't got sense enough to put anything in your paper that I can't understand. So if I am not good enough to get in in your lodges or secret organizations, you are not good enough for me to speak to, or even try to help you all. While you Negroes are running to churches, you had better be down town trying to save the young girls and boys. The whole bunch of you old Negroes had better begin to make peace with your God. You will never call another man a drunken Negro. You are not as smart as you thought you were. The whole bunch of you Negroes haven't got money enough to make me take a drink of whiskey or beer. I never say anything about you wise — but I am going to cripple you all, or die trying it. That's all."
Mr. Lewis H. Greenlee has appointed one of our prominent men to work nights dusting off and caring for the record books at county recorder's office. We are unable to find out what else is required.
MAYOR SHARPLEY AND COMMISSIONER PITCHER.
If a man does a good or bad deed, tell him about it. If the deed is done unintentionally, through mistake or ignorance of true conditions, suspend judgment until facts tell the story. Especially are we grateful to Mayor Sharpley and Commissioner Pitcher for their efforts in barring that race mongrel play, "Birth of a Nation," from our fair city where our race relations have been so far pleasant. We confess that we doubted Commissioner Pitcher's unpretended and unheralded friendship. He began with doing things quietly for us and has been silently doing things right along. We feel it would be smallness and ungrateful upon our part if we did not fittingly recognize his efforts to help us. We are told that he will give us charge of the Public Comfort Station for ladies. Dr. Sharpley will reward one of his faithful workers Monday. These are the noblest Romans of all, so far.

Governor Geo. Carlson has decided to appoint a man of color for his messenger. We hope the Governor will appoint J. W. Jackson, our choice. It is needless for any more delegations to go up to the Governor and try to muddy the waters, because he has decided upon his man. Since the good work has been started, we trust that more openings will follow.
CAN IT BE DONE?
(With Him All Things Are Possible)
Somebody said that it couldn't be done.
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace
of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid
it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that—
At least, no one ever has done it;"
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without doubting or quibbling.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done—and he did it!
There are thousands to tell you it can not be done.
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That "can not be done"—and you'll do it.
It is Satan who says that it cannot be done;
He's the main one who prophesies failure;
He is back of the thousands who point, one by one.
To the dangers that wait to assall you.
It's the truth you are weak, with big tasks to be done.
But there's One who will help you go to it;
Let the dear Master help as you tackle each one
That "cannot be done"—and you'll do it.
(Closing stanza paraphrased by J. P. Lowry.)
THE SAVIOUR'S VOICE.
"I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat."
A. (1) My child, it is not necessary to know much to please Me; (2) it is sufficient to love much. (3) Speak to Me as thou wouldst to a mother if she drew thee to her side.
B. (1) Are there any for whom thou wouldst pray to Me? (2) Repeat to the names of thy relations, thy friends; after each name add what thou wouldst have Me do for them. (3) Ask much, ask fervently; (4) I love generous souls who forget themselves for others.
C. (1) Tell Me of the poor whom thou wouldst relieve, (2) the sick whom thou hast seen suffer, (3) the sinners thou wouldst have converted, (4) those who are alienated from thee whose affection thou wouldst regain.
D. (1) Are there graces thou
wouldst ask for thyself? Write, if
thou wilt, a long list of all thou desir,
all the needs of thy soul, and
come and read it to Me. (2) Tell Me
simply how proud thou art, how sensi-
vate, egotistical, carnal, mean and
indecent. Poor child, do not blush;
there are in Heaven many saints who
had thy faults; they prayed to Me,
and little by little their faults were
corrected.
E. (1) Do not hesitate to ask Me
for blessings for the body and mind—
for health, memory, success. (2)
I can give all things, and I always give
when blessings are needed to render
souls more holy.
F. (1) Today what wilt thou have,
my child? If thou knewest how I
long to do thee good! (2) Hast thou
plans that occupy thee? (3) Lay
them all before Me. (4) Dost thou
---
wish to give pleasure to thy mother,
(5) to thy family (6) to those on
whom thou dost depend? What
wouldst thou do for them?
G. (1) And for Me, hast thou no
zealous thought for Me? (2) Dost
thou not wish to do a little good to
the souls of thy friends who perhaps
have forgotten Me? (3) Tell Me of
one in whom thou takest interest;
the motive that actuates thee, the
means thou wouldst employ.
H. (1) Bring Me all thy failures,
and I will show thee the cause of
them. (2) Hast thou not troubles?
(3) Who has caused thee pain? (4)
Tell Me all, and thou wilt finish
by adding that thou wilt pardon, thou
wilt forget; and I will bless thee.
I. (1) Hast thou not joys to make known to Me? (2) Why dost thou not let Me share thy happiness? (3) Tell Me what has happened since yesterday to cheer and console thee; (4) an unexpected visit which did thee good; (5) a fear suddenly dissipated; (6) a success thou thoughtest thou shouldst not reach; (7) a mark of affection; (8) a letter; (9) a gift which the uhast received. (10) I have prepared it all for thee. Thou canst show thy gratitude and give Me thanks.
J. (1) Art thou resolved no longer to expose thyself to this temptation? (2) not to finish this book which excites thy imagination? (3) no longer to give thy friendship to a person who is not Godly, and whose presence disturbs the peace of thy soul? (4) Wilt thou go at once to do a kindness to this companion who has hurt thee?

Organization Society Visits Many Counties of Virginia. ACCOMPLISHES MUCH GOOD
Major Robert R. Moton and Party of Distinguished Citizens Receive Warm Welcome at Every Point on Tour of Northern Neck—Interest in the Movement Increases.
Hampton, Va.-The Negro Organization Society of Virginia recently concluded a successful campaign through the Northern neck in the interest of "better health, better schools, better farms, better homes." This was the third Virginia campaign. It showed clearly that white and colored people alike are waking up to the importance of public health, education, economic prosperity and wholesome home life. President Robert R. Moton and his party of race leaders were everywhere received most cordially.
In the region between the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers, embracing Northumberland, Lancaster, Richmond, Westmoreland and Essex counties, there are many colored people living in attractive and well kept homes, which they own, and worshiping in

large modern churches which are in charge of well prepared and respected preachers.
The Negro Organization society during its five day campaign was welcomed by more than 5,000 colored people and by the best white people, who realize the importance of maintaining friendly race relations. The largest meeting was held in a white camp meeting ground that had been loaned by the white people. Several meetings were held in courthouses and theaters. Among the white men who delivered addresses were Judge Chinn and Superintendent Blake T. Newton of Richmond county, Hon. C. C. Baker, commonwealth attorney of Westmoreland county, and the mayors of Rappahannock and Fredericksburg.
President Moton, who is also commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, brought home to the audiences of white and colored people the great advantages that come to the colored people from living in this country, especially in Virginia. He pointed out the many opportunities for acquiring property and securing employment. President John Hope of Morehouse college, Atlanta, Ga., was pleased with conditions he observed as he traveled from county to county and declared that he could use some of the Virginia methods in his work among the colored people of Georgia. President Hope made a strong plea for the home training of Negro youth.
T. C. Erwin, the field agent of the Negro Organization society, through whose efforts the arrangements for the trip had been perfected, summarized the year's work, which included aiding and improving all schools, starting teachers' institutes, the co-operation of the Virginia state board of health with colored leaders, the signing of thousands of health pledge cards, the conducting of a successful cleanup week campaign and the raising of money for the Industrial Home School For Wayward Girls.
W. T. B. Williams, a graduate of Hampton and of Harvard, who is now serving as a field agent of the Jeanes and the Slater boards, outlined the progress of Negro conditions during the last decade and pointed out the need of training boys and girls to take care of the property which their mothers and fathers had already acquired.
Rev. A. A. Graham, pastor of Zion church, Phoebus, Va., pointed out the gains that have come to the colored people of Virginia through working with the officers and members of the Negro Organization society. The party included Major R. R. Moton, Captain Allen Washington, and W. T. B. Williams of Hampton institute, F. D. Wheelock of Hampton. Rev. A. A. Graham of Phoebus, Thomas C. Walker of Gloucester Court House, W. E. Robinson of Essex county, W. H. Crocker, Suffolk; T. C. Erwin, Petersburg; Rev. L. L. Downing, Rosnoke; Dr. Norman Lassiter, Newport News, and President John Hope, Morehouse college, Georgia.

Many applicants have been reported and we are expecting quite an increase in our membership on this occasion. It looks as if Pueblo No. 3 will be forced back to second place, yielding first rank in the state of Colorado to Denver, No. 1.
Remember the dispensation of $2.50 will close after this meeting, and thereafter those applying for membership will be required to pay the regular entrance fee of $5.00. Now is the time to join, not only because of the dispensation rate, but for the reason you and your family need protection.

_ “HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST
BLOT”
My ear is pained
My soul is sick with every day's re-
port
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 fails 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 law:
ful prey.

‘Thus man devotes his brother, and
destroys:
‘Tis human nature's broadest, foulest

SEGREGATION IN EDUCATION
FOSTERS RACE PREJUDICE,
Philadelphia Pena Sees Danger In
Stressing Vocational Trhining.
‘The Philadelphia ‘Tribune sees dange:
in the putting of too much stress or
vocational training for’ colored yout!
as against the opportunities offered fo:
academic or higher education. ‘The
‘Tribune says:
At the Thomas Durham public school.
Sixteenth and Lombard streets, the
largest segregated school in this city.
it has been definitely settled that the
Introduction of vocational training for
dt least 400 of the 1,200 pupils that
attend that school will begin next Jan-
uary. If the experiment’ succeeds a
‘similar course will In all probability
follow in each of the fourteen separate
schools throughout the city.
While the gradual return of the dis
tnetive segregated schools in this city
seems inevitable, there seems to te i
growing sentiment, nevertheless. on
the part of a large majority of colored
citizens in opposition to the continual
growth, ‘They view it with alarm, and
many regard the proposed innovation
of vocational training as a direct blow
at the aspiration for higher education
and a more general acceptance by them
In the north of Dr. Booker ‘T, Wash
Ington’s {dea that industrial education
is best for at least the next century
‘The intelligent people of color kuow
thut separate schools are breeders of
race prejudice; that such schools serve
to create a spirit of disrespect in the
mind of one ¢lass for the other. ‘The
question is asked and even now awaits
an answer, How may one foster the
spirit of genuine g00d Will between
classes educated in separate schools?
‘The division of classes, or races, if you
please, in so called public Schools fs not
only unfair to the taxpayer, white ind
colored alike. because it 18 bound in
due season to incrense thelr burdens,
but it also gives an impetus to race
prejudices.
‘The intelligent colored citizen travels
and observes that in every city where
the separate school system ts fn yorue
race hatred has grown apace. Doubt
less intelligent white citizens know this
to be true and are anxious to do every
thing in thelr power to encourage the
xrowth of race hatred, hence re de-
strous of addjng any feature in the
public school curriculum that tends to-
ward that end.
Whether or not the system begun In
this city in 1881, when the law enfore:
ing the creation of mixed schools wis
passed, hag been a success or-failure
after an experiment of 2 quarter of a
century seems not to be the question.
but rather ft seems to be the thou:ht
of the school authorities to fit the col
ored boy and girl for work, ax they:
realizeshow exceedingly afticult it ts
for the colored youth after graduation
to obtain. In the open competition of
trade, such oecupational relation to 80:
ciety as will give him a chance tv earn
a livelihood.
But even after graduation the color-
ed youth who has been given the
chance to work alongside of the white
boy at his trade has a better opporta-
nity to demonstrate his ability an@
build up a strong line of friendship
with memberx of the dominant a0
than he could possibly have in a! sage
regated schoool, .
AMBITION OF SARAH MAYS.
Aspires to Legal Profession.
New York.—The following story of
the activities of Miss Surah Mays as a
student of political science, woman:
waffrage leader and representative
young woman of our race is given in
the New York Evening Post. 4 recent
issue of the Post says:
A colored woman who can go into th
Itallan districts of the east side ax well
as non-Italinn districts of Fifth and
Madison avenues and’ convert the peo:
ple there to woman suffrage on tl
strength of the arguments that woman
suffrage will mean for the people of
New York city better conditions for
working people is showing real abl:
ity.
‘A coloted woman who does this very
thing is Sarah Mays, twenty-three
years old, of Washington square south
‘And her summer's work is preparin:
her for the law course which she is tw
begin this fall at the New York uni
versity as well as showing that she hax
the sort of ability which she needs tu
begin such 2 course.
She has no idea of taking the fu!!
three years for it either. She got
through her college courses at Oberlin
‘and the University of Wilberforce be
fore she was twenty and with the ele-
mentary law lessons which she hus had
now hopes to be through law school iti
a year or two and at her serious job of
looking after the interests of any and
all women, black or white or whatso-
ever color, who may need her help.
“I want to be a lawyer because every
person has a vocation which belongs to
him,” she says, “and mine 1s to argue
points with people and convince the:
and to try to help better the conditions
of working men and women and to do
everything I possibly can for unfortit
nate women. When T first got out of
college I thought 1 would be a teacher,
for | love children, But thnt is not my.
vocation. My vocation is to argue
points,
“There are 8,775,772 women and chil-
dren,"\she says, “who are drudging in
this country from § in the morning
until 6 at night. Of these, 2,360,046
are ttle girls between the ages of
nine and twelve and 350,140 from
twelve to fifteen. They are the wo-
men of tomorrow. ‘They will be un-
educated, unskilled laborers, untit to
be mothers, and will bear the sort of
children for whom the state will have
to care, If women hud the vote such
conditions of woman and child labor
would not exist. Men cannot pans laws
for women. No man can pass a law
for me. 1 will pass my own law.
“Phere are 1,288,117 women from
forty-five to seventy-five years old who
are working every day and supporting
others. Slouldn't they have # vote?
‘They should."
‘As Mise Mays pounds out her sux
tiaties into her open left band with the
cloned fist of her right hand, ax her
voice rings clear and convincing, no
oe can longer wonder how it is that

"FAITH"
Let a valliant Faith cross swords with Death
And Death is certain to fall.
For the dead arise with joy in their eyes:
They were not dead at all.
If this were only a world of chance,
Then faith, with its strong white spark,
Could burn through the sod and fashion a God
And set Him to shine in the dark.
So in troublesome days, and in shadowy ways,
In the dire and difficult time,
We must cling, we must cling, to our faith and by
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
can smile inwardly, glorying in the slight, because
unted worthy to suffer with Christ—that is Victory.
When your good is evil spoken of, when your wicked, your taste offended, your advice disregarded,
be it all patiently, in loving silence—that is Victory.
When you never care to record your own good
witch after commendation, when you can truly love a own—that is Victory.
When "forgetting the things which are behind, and forward to the things which are before, you preside the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God us"—that is Victory.
When through faith in Christ, death and life are by you, and to do His perfect will a delight to your victory.
To put the on Lord Jesus Christ, and thus triumph's self—THIS is the PERFECT Victory.
BE PATIENT.
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,

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 itch 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 less—
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.
—George Kling

GOOD PRINCIPLES
The W. E. Long Company, of Chicago, has sent our loving sentiments of the season to its friends:
I Am Determined
To respect my work, my associates and myself; to love and fair with them, as I expect them to be honest with me; to be a man whose work carries weight; to be kind and not a knocker; a pusher, not a kicker; a motif; to base my expectations of reward on the solid faith service rendered; to be willing to pay the price of honest effort; to look upon my work as an opponent agreed with joy and made the most of, and not a teddy to be reluctantly endured.
To remember that success lies within myself, my own ambition, my own courage and determination, my difficultities and force my way through them; to experience into capital for future struggles; to interart and soul in the achievement of results; to be a deceptive of just criticism, and profit by its teaching, skills and superiors with respect, and subordinates with couragement; to make a study of my business from my work from the ground up; to mix brains with tools; to use system and method in all I undertake; to do everything needful by never letting time find myordinates doing nothing; to hoard days as a miserable hour; to make every hour bring me dividends in specific complished; to steer clear of dissipation; to guard body and peace of mind as my most precious stock.
Finally, to take a good trip on the joy of life; to me like a gentleman; to fight against nothing so hard in weakness; and endeavor to grow in business capa- a man, with the passage of every day of time.
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.
WHAT'S WORTH WHILE?
As a shower is made up of single drops of water shadow of single blades of grass, so life is made up of songs that fill the passing moments.
The life that counts is one that seeks to fill its own things worth while.
It is worth while to encourage a fainting heart. It is able to woo a smile to a tear-stained cheek. It is woeful to wandering feet into a better way. It is worth rose all about us to the contagion of a sunny, well-lit May you and I be neither dreamers nor drudges in it before us, but doers of things worth while.
—H. H. BORGM
"I love every inch of her prairie land. Each stone on her mountain side; I love every drop of the water clear. That flows on her rivers wide."
As a shower is made up of single drops of water and a meadow of single blades of grass, so life is made up of little things that fill the passing moments.
The life that counts is one that seeks to fill its moments with things worth while.
It is worth while to encourage a fainting heart. It is worth while to woo a smile to a tear-stained cheek. It is worth while to turn wandering feet into a better way. It is worth while to expose all about us to the contagion of a sunny, well-tempered life.
May you and I be neither dreamers nor drudges in the year just before us, but doers of things worth while.
"I love every inch of her prairie land,
Each stone on her mountain side;
I love every drop of the water clear
That flows in her rivers wide;
I love every tree, every blade of grass,
Within our land of bravo,
The queen of the earth is the land of my birth,
My own Colorado."
DILIGENT WORKER FOR METHODISM
Fine Record of Dr. J. C. Caldwell as a Minister.
POPULAR WITH THE MASSES
How the Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League Has Increased the Membership of This Department of the A. M. E. Church—May Be Elevated to the Episcopacy.
Nashville, Tenn.—No department of the African Methodist Episcopal church will receive more attention at the general conference, which meets in Philadelphia in May, 1916, than the Allen Christian Endeavor league, of which the Rev. J. C. Caldwell, D. D., is the corresponding department of the A. M. E. church is devoted to the religious training of the young people of the denomination.
Dr. Caldwell was born in Chapel Hill, N. C., but in his youth his parents moved to Philadelphia, where he got his foundation for an education. He attended the public schools of Philadelphia, graduating from the manual training school. He felt that he was called to the work of the gospel ministry, and with that end in view he made ample preparation. He was licensed as a local preacher by the Rev. J. M. Palmer, presiding elder in the Philadelphia annual conference. He took up the study of oratory and elocution in the National School of Execution and Oratory in Philadelphia under Professor J. W. Shoemaker. In this line his ability asserted itself, and many were the predictions made concerning his future which have come true. Later he entered Wilberforce university with the determination to further
PETER H. HARRIS
REV. DR. J. C. CALDWELL,
prepare himself for his life's work. He
studied diligently and made his classes
year after year, graduating in 1896.
Coming out of school, Dr. Caldwei
reported to the Missouri conference,
then being held at Springfield, Mo.
Bishop B. T. Tanner, recognizing in
the young minister rare ability, sent
him to Jefferson City, Mo. It was his
first real charge, but he took hold of
it like one who had been in the ministry
for a quarter of a century. He made
many friends in his new field, serving
two years, and was afterward sent to
Springfield, the place where he had entered the conference. Two years were
spent in Springfield, and then he was
assigned to the church at Lexington,
Mo.
Each year the young minister made more friends, and his reputation as a minister spread throughout the state. He found the people of Independence, Mo., asking for him, so the presiding bishop assigned him to that charge, only to remain one year. Dr. Caldwell was then assigned to the largest charge in the north Missouri conference, Ebenezer A. M. E. church, St. Joseph, Mo. He went there to stay until removed by the limitation or by elevation to some other charge, and it was the latter that took him away. During the five years in St. Joseph he paid off the mortgage debt, which had been standing for some time, and then installed a pipe organ at a cost of $2,000. Many members were added to the church, and improvements were made in the church edifice.
In May, 1908, Dr. Caldwell went to the general conference held in Norfolk, Va., and was elected to his present position. He has brought it into recognition among the organizations of Christian young people throughout the denomination. He is a life trustee of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, being one of the six representatives of our race. At each session of the league he is given the highest consideration and recognition. When he was placed at the head of the Allen Endeavor league eight years ago he found 000 societies throughout the entire connection. This number has increased until now there are 4,215 societies with an approximate membership of 150,000.
It is this work and the real worth of Dr. Caldwell which commend him to the next general conference to be held in May, 1910, at Philadelphia. It is expected that in recognition of his worth and work he will be elevated to the episcopacy, which will be a well earned reward.
SWANN TO MAKE STATEMENT.
Secretary of Chicago Exposition Will Give Public Full Information.
The Illinois Half Century and Lincoln Jubilee exposition held recently in Chicago scored a new record in the line of national celebrations marking the first fifty years of the freedom of the colored race in America. It is a rare thing for an undertaking of this kind, which costs many thousands of dollars to operate, to end successfully without having a deficit, as is true of the Illinois exposition, according to the latest report of the commissioners.
There were some unfortunate disagreements between the managers and their employees, but not sufficiently strong enough to make any feature of the celebration a failure. The charge said to have been made against the secretary of the commission by one of the members in regard to a money matter was afterward denied by one who made it, and the commission proceeded with its work in an orderly manner.
The governor of the state was president ex-officio of the commission, which was headed by the well known Bishop Samuel Fallows, who has expressed great satisfaction over the outcome of the celebration in its relation to the public on account of the character of the exhibits shown and the large attendance each day during the three weeks in which the exposition was in progress. Secretary Thomas Wallace Swann says that at the proper time and in the proper way the whole truth regarding his actions as secretary of the commission will be made known. The commission had about $50,000 to its credit when the exposition opened, Sept. 22. The expense was necessarily heavy, but by using good business methods it will pay all bills and have a small balance left to its credit.

Pittsburgh. the early part of October. The Rev. Charles H.
