Denver Star

For a good many years groups of officials and students from the famous Harrison (Vt.) institute have made annual visits to the north and east in the interest of the institution. These tours have involved the students and the public but so enjoyed the program of the stupper point and the addresses of the students and other friends of the school that the annual visit of these good fellas is forced forward to with great interest. "For the benefit of the public and the friends of Hampton and the associations which have contributed to the success of campaigns in the north we are giving the itinerary of Hampton's representatives as planned for the coming January, 1916. "The allied friends of the school in Philadelphia, Boston and New York are making preparations for the largest demonstration in behalf of Hampton that has been held in many years. We are appealing to friends of the school to aid in assuring a successful journey when the singers and speakers carry Hampton's message to the north. "Meetings have been arranged tentatively at Springfield and Worcester, Mass., for Jan. 5 and 6 and at Providence, B. I., and at the schedule then proceeds with meetings at Taunton and Boston, Jan. 9; at Wheaton college, Norton, on the 10th and at the Allen school and at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Lloyd Garrison, Jr., in West Newton, on the 11th. "On the 12th there will be a big meeting in Symphony hall, Boston, and on the same day the quartet will sing at Miss Colt's school in Cambridge. There are engagements on the 13th at the Middlesex school in Concord and St. Mark's school in Southbore, at the Groton school on the 14th and Milton academy on the 15th. If possible a meeting will be arranged for the 16th in one of the churches among the colored people in Boston. There will be a church meeting at Waltham on that day also and at Dana hall, Wellesley. "The famous preparatory schools for boys at Exeter and Andover will see and hear the Hampton representatives on Jan. 22 and 23. If possible there will be meetings in Hartford and Rockville, Conn., on the 24th, and one will probably be arranged for New Haven on the 26th. Smith college will be visited Jan. 25, Stamford, Conn., on the 27th and Miss Beard's school in Orange, N. J., on the 29th. Jan. 30 is left open for Brooklyn and Montclair. "The Carnegie hall meeting will be held in New York Jan. 31, and schools in that city will be visited on the same day and on Feb. 1. The Hamptonians will then turn their faces homeward, holding meetings in Wilmington, Del., Feb. 2 and 3 and remaling in Philadelphia and vicinity until the 9th, when a large meeting will be held in Witherspoon hall." WASHINGTON'S ELOQUENCE. How the Late Educator Impressed Judge Hear at Concord Maze Judge Hoar at Concord, Mass. In speaking of the eloquent and practical manner in which the late Dr. Booker T. Washington presented the claims of the Tuskegee Institute to the public Judge Hoar says: "Washington came to Concord on one occasion to present the claims of his school to our philanthropic people. It was early in his career, and he was not widely known. I went, as all my neighbors went, intending when the collection should be taken to put in what loose change I had in my pocket. "Well, I was astonished at the man's self respecting dignity, by his wide knowledge, by his practical understanding of the great needs of his race and of the way to meet these needs, and I was captivated by his simple eloquence. A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION. To be contented, but not satisfied; to be a credit to the work I am doing and to make that work a credit to me; to greet each new day with a smile of confidence and end it with one of satisfaction; to work heartily, to play freely, and to deal squarely with my God, my fellow men and with myself—this is my New Year's resolution.—Kellogg's, "The Birth of a Nation," a film that it is said rivals the Clansman in stirring racial strife, and appealing to prejudice, will not be shown in Hot Springs if the attitude of Mayor McClendon and the city council on the subject can prevent. At the regular city council meeting a protest was filed through a committee of the colored citizens, and they set forth the harmony that existed here between the races and how anything of this nature could not do other than leave a bad effect. The aldermen discussed the issue, and to a man voted to go on record with the mayor and chief of police as opposed to the performance being shown here. Alderman Kittleberger was the only one of those present who had seen the film, and he said that he did not believe it would do any good shown here. Of course it was considered in the discussion that the film company might insist on showing here or at least showing one night or one performance, to stand the test of a critical audience, but those things were left to the future when the council recorded itself as against the performance. Restaurant Keeper Fined for Discriminating. Riverhead, L. I., Dec. 22. The Rev. William H. Williams and B. G. R. Squires, won their suits against Cornelius Bethlehem, a former restaurant keeper in Huntington. They and Henry Brewer could not get meals in the restaurants when they gave orders. The verdicts were for $100 each. Bethlehem has gone out of the restaurant business. He did not defend the actions. Attacked by White Man. Dallas, Texas, Dec. 24. Eliza Williams, a fine looking woman, was cut on the head and body last week by a white man. She was removed to the Emergency Hospital and her wound treated. Besides a scalp wound there was one on the body that was three inches long. She was removed to her home. 1914 N. Harwood street, after treatment at the hospital. Our protest against that perilicious photoplay should fill us with courage and inspiration to continue to do battle for civic decency for the Race. The Negroes great drawback lies in the fact that he is too often misjudged as a Race of people. It is indeed strange that the American white people presist in placing an estimate upon the Racc generally, according to the lowest standards and lowest types of the Race and they wilfully refuse to consider the educated and cultured Negro, who is industrious, frugal and law-abiding and who is trying to get on, if not up in the world. It is because of the cursed American prejudice at the North and South that stands in the way of better understanding of the races and prevents better results. Hampered and proscribed as the Negro is, it is hard for him to use and to develop the best there is in him. I do wish that the white man could turn Negro for a time, then he would feel as the Negro feels—see as he does, have the same impluses and yearnings, he would be better prepared to pass judgment on the Negro. He would feel and know that the Negroes soul craves, yes begs for the opportunity of self-improvement, that he may use to higher things, where he too in common with the rest of mankind may fulfill the object of his creation. Are the American people so heartless as to continue to deny this request? Has the white man's civilization reached so low an ebb? Has Christianity become a mockery and the consciences of men so dulled as not to be moved by entreaty? The Negro does not want social equality. He wants and contends for equality before the law. He does not want the white man's pity, he wants a man's justice and a man's chance. He is anxious that this conflict, strife and struggle between the Negro race and white race shall cease—that all men shall be brothers in peace, sharing the same benefits and the same dangers for a common county. The Negro's patriotism is as strong and warm as that of any man, but he must be properly treated. He must be accorded his civil and political rights. Where hatred, slander, abuse and foul play hold sway, there can be but bitterness on the part of those against whom the shafts of hate are hurled. The Negro has this consolation; some day the white man will regret the present treatment of the Negro. Some day he will open his eyes to the fact, that those whom he now regards as his inferior, whom he places on the level with brutes, are men and women with souls like those of other people.

W. B. TOWNSEND. BRUCE GRIT ON LIVE ISSUES. In a recent number of The Sierra Leone News, West Africa, I noticed a quotation from THE STAR, under the caption of "Sign of the Times What do They Spell for the Negro?" and I am sending you here with one of a series of letters received by me a few years ago, from a gentleman more white than Negro whose business and social relations were wholly with the white race and who was accepted by it as one of them. If found interesting, the letter may be published in installments. I have the permission of the writer to make such use of them as I think proper, and I think it proper at this time to release them, for they contain much food for thought and show the writer, who is an educated gentlemen, to be a man of clear vision, and a phrophet. Respectfully, J. E. B RUG, (GRIT.) Dear Sir:-I have just received your kind letter. You are privilege to quote, refer publish any and all communications from me respecting the Negro interests. But my personal history you will hold in confidence, as I would be more detested than if I were a person of vicious parents, were my history known to southern white men. You were not entirely wrong in conjecturing that I had some "inside information." I had been making deep soundings in high places." Besides after my father died, my mother entered the service to a foreign family (a journalist) who knowing my history overlooked my bringing up. I happen in many ways to be a yerson far abler to understand these whites, and their policies toward Negroes than any Negro or mulatto could be. The white man who would explain in some things to you could not live in the United States. In the publication to which you have alluded, I only hinted at what is a real fact, which you as an intelligent young Negro interested in the welfare of your race ought to know in full, and should seriously consider. To that end, allow me to explain it in full. From the beginning of the United States these whites have been exercised to keep the multiplying descendants of other races from acquiring extensive possessions and competing with their future multiplied descendants. This has always been a supreme question with them in dealing with Indians, Negroes, Chinese and Japanese. A man will have five children, 25 grandchildren FIVE CENTS A COPY. 125-625-31255, descend a n t s 1000,000 men may have 100 000,000 descendants. Now during the period when all the land and means of the country were not taken up by whites-just as a landlord cannot rent or lease his estate to evictable tenants—the whites could afford Indians and Negroes "sojou rn" in the land But against the day when there should be 100,000,000 Indians, 100,000,000 Negroes and 100,000,000 whites—a total population of 300,000,000—they made a provision of entail that should then give the country wholly to the whites only. This provision occasioned the extermination of the Indians and the enslavement of the Negroes, in a manner I can explain to you clearly only by reviewing the old property laws of England. You will follow closely my review of these laws. Originally when England had but few people, the land was owned in great estates by feudal chieftains, whose tenants tilled the ground. These chieftains titled as dukes, lords and barons governed the country as the House of Lords, as representatives of the estates of the Realm. the sake of this power of governing (the head of an estate being a senator by virtue of having an estate) it became desirable to keep these estates whole and in the family. To that end a law of entail was passed, which passed the estate forever to the eldest son or next of blood in the family and deprived any heir of any power to sell or give it away. Under this law of entail every child was disinherited of land except the oldest son who was the "blood of the line." As the population of England increased, while the number of estates remained constant in time, there came to be millions in England who did not and could not own land. Land could only be acquired by inheritance and only the blood of the line could inherit. Hence the heirs to estates were the "blooded aristocracy" of the land, the envied privileged class, and any other person who, by birth or relation, even stood in the line of succession to an estate was an object of public adoration as a blessed being. The law of entail of estates in England made a distinction between the right of possession and the right of inheritance. Now the original constitution of England was such a vague puzzling inapplicable body of law, that when a judge decided a case by it, his decision as a precedent, was taken for guidance instead of the law itself. A number of these precedents in time became the real law of the land as the law of precedents Among English descendants therefore, a precedent is a law in itself. Hence where a precedent occurs, if (Continued on page 4.) Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH, CORNER 23RD AND LAWRENCE STS. REV. JAMES WASHINGTON, PASTOR.

Sunday School and Epworth League are still interesting adjuncts of the church. Owing to the condition of the church, the Xmas exercises will be had on Sunday following Xmas. All pledges on the rally are urgently asked to be paid Sunday, as money is needed to pay for the repairs. Rev. Rader made a proposition to the ladies, that if they would furnish coal until Dec. 31, 1915, he had a friend who would furnish coal free the rest of the year. The ladies have kept their part of the agreement. Rev. Rader will be called upon to fulfill his part. SHORTEF CHAPEL. Our pastor will fill the pulpit tomorrow morning and the subject of his New Year's message will be, "No Oil in Your Lamp." Despite the severe weather the Christmas festivities of the church were well directed and largely attended. On Friday evening the Sunday School Santa Claus sprang a number of surprises upon the little folks, but they were agreeable ones and every one repaired from church with light hearts singing the praises of Mr. Geo. C. King, Mesdames Fannie Brown and Mary E. Wade and the S. S. Officers. The Choir rendered Fred B. Holton's popular Xmas cantata, "The Christmas King" at the early morning service Saturday before a very appreciative audience, and the rendition inspired and pleased the hearers to the extent that there was a general demand for its repetition next Sunday evening at 7:30, which request has been granted and the public will be given another opportunity to witness the rendition of this high class cantata which will be done so effectively that it will almost be a crime not to hear it. Miss Jennie M. Hicks, Mrs. G. N. Ross, Messrs. S. A. Bondurant and Geo. Morrison, as well as the entire choir, are growing in popularity. Our pastor preached a splendid Christmas sermon Sunday morning and the following persons were welcomed into our fellowship: Mesdames Alice Kimbrough, 2527 Clarkson, Ida Randolph, 421 25th St., Gora Robinson, 2306 Ogden. Our sick list is unusually large and includes the following: Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

The Xmas exercises were in advance of similar services during past years. The Sabbath School scholars rendered a most creditable program in connection with the Tree in the Chapel on Xmas Eve. Every scholar in good and regular standing with their friends was remembered in the distribution of Xmas tokens. Perhaps the most gratifying feature of the season's activities was to note the splendid communicant membership that partook of the Lord's Supper at the services, 6 o'clock Xmas morning. Owing to the heavy snowfall on the Sabbath the services were not attended as well as if the weather were more favorable, nevertheless everything was done with the greatest success. Offertory for the services being $39.74. The music as usual was up to the standard. The solo selections of Medames Irene Fife, Pearl Rose, Lilly Hughes and Miss Mabel Cole deserve special mention. Messrs. C. A. Clark and Wilfred Brickler maintained their reputation as tenor singers, whilst the other members of the choir with Miss Cleo Hobson at the piano, Mr. Spratlin at the organ, Master Atwel Rose at the violin, Mrs. M. E. Morrison at the Trombone, ally performed their assignments. New Year's Sunday the music will be repeated in part. The Poor People's Mission with Mrs. M. E. Morrison as Superintendent had their Xmas Tree on Xmas Day in the afternoon. The hall was tastily decorated; the presents many. What is needed now at the Mission is more workers to help Mrs. Morrison. Without question the People's Church was in advance of past years in the decoration which was rather unique. Mrs. Vera Finney was able assisted by a corps of willing workers among the membership. Everybody is invited to take part in the services for the week of prayer which begins from Sunday the 2nd to Sunday the 9th. Speakers as follows: Drs. Ross, Campbell, Fry, Lang, Bell and West.

He believes in the possibilities of the race and insists that in order for our young people to make the most of life they must be educated. AGITATING FOR JUSTICE. Hen. H. C. Smith Continues Fight on Race Secrecy in Ohio RACE Segregation in Ohio. Cleveland, O.—The editor of the Gazette of this city, Hon. Harry C. Smith has been "stirring up the animals" again—those holdover state officials under Governor Willis' administration who seem determined not only to continue discrimination against Afro Americans in certain state institutions, but also continue insults along the line started many months ago and temporarily discontinued for a short time at the request of the governor on suggestion of Editor Smith. Recently the latter received several letters from the governor, which he has published in his paper, showing his most recent fight (the third one) to compel the secretary of the state medical board to discontinue his demand that applicants to practice a limited branch of medicine or surgery in Ohio should send to the board their photographs. He was compelled several months ago to discontinue asking that said applicants state their color in answering questions propounded on the board's application blanks, which it furnished on request. Photograph requests were to supply what the elimination of the "color of the skin" request from the application blank made it impossible for the secretary of the board to get. Mr. Smith wrote the governor, when objecting to the color and photograph requests of the Ohio medical board through its secretary, that such a course "savors so much of the most reprehensible one being followed at Washington in the case of applicants for positions under the civil service the purpose of which is so obvious," that it should not be tolerated in Ohio of all the states in the Union. Governor Frank B. Willis agreed with him and promptly put an end to the discrimination along that line recently. The governor has, too, replaced T. P. Riddle, director of the "Ohio corn boys' special" party, for insisting upon the latter seeing a certain photo play while visiting in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, contrary to his urgent request that this be not done. The governor even threatened to withdraw his promise to deliver an address in Philadelphia to the "Ohio corn boys" and their excursionist guests on that day if the trip to view the photo play was not stricken from the official program prepared by Mr. Riddle. It was taken from the program, all right, but after the governor left Columbus on the 8 p.m. train Director Riddle saw to it, as he wrote Hon Harry C. Smith under date of Dec. 4, 1915, that all who wished to do so saw the photo play. The editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette has renewed his fight on the segregation started in two state institutions a couple of years ago—the Girls' Industrial home at Delaware and the Soldiers and Sailors' Orphans home at Nenla—and has called upon the aggressive and brilliant governor of Ohio to put an end to this insulting disgraceful and unnecessary discrimination, with splendid prospects of favorable results.

Rockay Gives Full Credit to the Achievements of the Colored People in Keystone State—Farm Valuation Amounts to $2,468,100. The final chapter on the colored population of the United States, with special reference to the race in Pennsylvania, is given in the recent report of the Hon. John L. Rockey, chief of the bureau of industrial statistics, made to the Hon. Henry Houck, secretary of internal affairs, at Harrisburg, Pa. The report in part says: The center of the Negro population, which in 1790 was in the southern part of Virginia, has been shifting to the southwest constantly and for a number of decades has been in the northern part of Alabama. As to the shades of color of the people, a division into two classes, black and mulatto, gave a proportion of 79.1 per cent of the former and 20.9 per cent of the latter, but the mulatto class increase since the 1900 census was 5.5 per cent. The Negroes of the United States, considered by sex, were about equally divided, there being 98.9 females for every 100 males. In point of residence about one-third lived in towns, the remaining two-thirds being classed as rural population. The school attendance of all ages of Negroes was 53.2 per cent as against 78.1 per cent of whites of like ages. The Negro population of Pennsylvania in 1910 numbered 193,919, an increase of 37,034, or 23.6 per cent, over the 1900 census returns. Thus the state ranked fourteenth in the Union in point of such population. For the past twenty years the Negro population of the state has constituted 2.5 per cent of the entire inhabitants. By far the greater number, 156,333, or 80.9 per cent, lived in towns, only 37,586, or 19.4 per cent, being classed as rural population. The Negroes of Pennsylvania born in this state numbered 84,900, or much less than one-half of the entire number. Large numbers born in other states were 5,798 in Delaware, 9,735 in North Carolina, 20,030 in Maryland, 48,995 in Virginia and 2,037 in the District of Columbia. No other state equaled the latter in number, the remaining nativity being from many other points. A division of the population as to sex indicated that there were 2,250 more females than males, or, stated in another form, there were but 97.7 Negro males for every 100 Negro females. In 1900 a reverse condition prevailed, there being 102.4 males for every 100 females. Three of the male Negroes in the state and sixteen females were reported to be more than 100 years old. The Negroes of the state engaged in agriculture numbered 585. The farms were 543, with an area of 30,097 acres, two-thirds of which were improved. These farms had a value of $2,468,100 and were located in forty-nine counties of the state. Eighteen counties had no Negro farms. Counties having more than ten such farms were Allegheny, 18; Beaver, 12; Bucks, 20; Chester, 112; Delaware, 21; Fayette, 29; Franklin, 18; Greene, 11; Junlata, 16; Lawrence, 16; Lancaster, 40; Montgomery, 22; Washington, 49, and York, 38. The Negro farms of the state decreased 7.2 per cent in number, but the value of those in 1910 was 32 per cent greater than those in 1900. The male Negroes of the state, fifteen or more years old, 72,613 in number, had marital relations as follows: 38.4 per cent were single; 54.3 per cent were married and 14.3 per cent were widowed. Two hundred and forty-eight were divorced. Of the 73,673 females of like ages there were 380 divorces; 30.1 per cent were single, 54.5 per cent were married, and 14.4 per cent were widows. The religious life of the Negro population of the state found expression through 428 church organizations, having 20,613 communicant male and 34,661 female members. The 387 houses of worship, capable of seating 126,888 persons, had a value of $3,494,205, and there were ninety-eight parsonages, valued at $248,700. No other northern state even approximated Pennsylvania in any of the above features. A creditable showing was also made in the school life of the Negroes of the state; 82.9 per cent of children under fourteen years of age, 22,475 were school attendants. The white children of native birth exceed that by but 6 per cent, and foreign born white children had an attendance of 8 per cent less. The entire Negro school attendance was 27,797, of whom 448 were more than twenty-one years of age. Anniversary of the St. Cyprian Lodge.

A dispatch from Tuskegee, Ala., on Tuesday, Dec. 14, states that after an all day session the trustees of the Tuskegee institute failed to elect a successor to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and referred the matter to a special committee, composed of Chairman Seth Low, Vice Chairman W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, Ala.; Victor H. Tulane of Montgomery, Ala.; Frank Trumbull of New York and Edgar A. Bancroft of Chicago. The creation of a $2,000,000 Booker T. Washington memorial endowment for the Tuskegee institute was authorized by the institute's trustees, who announced that $450,000 had already been pledged, some of it contingent upon raising the remainder. Colonel Roosevelt had a full and busy day at Tuskegee, spending the larger part of the morning in the trustees' session. Under Warren Logan, the treasurer, and Emmett J. Scott, the secretary, the institute work can be carried on without interruption until the committee names a new principal, the dispatch says. The only names mentioned by the trustees as a possible successor to the great Negro educator were Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee institute, and Major R. R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute. Scott for eighteen years was Dr. Washington's secretary and intimate coworker in building up the work of the school. The following statement regarding the Booker T. Washington memorial fund was issued: "Tuskegee institute is Booker T. Washington's monument, and his most fitting memorial is the perpetuation of its great work for the benefit of the colored people and for the promotion of helpful relations between the races. The gap at present existing between the ordinary income of the institute and its annual outgo is approximately $150,000. It is not desired to close this gap so completely as to make the institute independent of the interest and support of the living, but it is desired to reduce this gap to manageable proportions. "The trustees therefore propose to invite subscriptions to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund of $2,000,000 for the continuance of the institute and of the work for the Negro race which centers there." "It is hoped and expected that $250,000 of this sum will be given by Negroes, out of which fund a suitable memorial for Booker T. Washington shall be erected on the grounds of the institute. The trustees have already received subscriptions of more than $450,000, some of which, but not all, are conditional upon larger sums being raised. "The colored people may therefore feel that every dollar they give will be met more than dollar for dollar by gifts from white people. The fund to be invited from the Negro people will be managed from Tuskegee institute and will be under the charge of Emmett J. Scott, secretary. Other subscriptions to the memorial fund should be sent to William G. Willcox, treasurer of the investment committee. 3 South William street, New York city, or to the treasurer of the institute Warren Logan. Tuskegee institute. Alabama."

BIRTHDAY OF JOHN H. MURPHY Veteran Baltimore Editor Seveny-five on Dec. 25. SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN Well Known Publisher Began Newspaper Career as Job Printer and Reporter—Leader In Church and Fraternal Organizations—Had a Loving Wife and Reared Large Family. Baltimore. — John H. Murphy, the veteran publisher of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, will celebrate his seventy-fifth birthday on Saturday, Dec. 25. He will observe the day quietly at his home, 1320 Druid Hill avenue. Mr. Murphy was born in this city in 1840. He was educated in a private school maintained for freeborn colored boys and girls. During the civil war he served in one of the Maryland regiments. After the war he entered the whitewashing business with his father. He became active in politics and in 1876 was appointed to a clerkship in the Baltimore postoffice. He lost his position there in a few months, owing to a change in the administration. He has long been interested in Sunday school work in the A. M. E church and is regarded as one of the most competent men in that line in this country. The fact that there were no colored printers in this city many years ago caused him to embark in the job printing business. His taste for newspaper work began with the publication of the Sunday School Helper and with his service as a correspondent for the New York Age. Mr. Murphy is one of the most active laymen in the A. M. E. church, having been a delegate to a number of general conferences in his denomination. He is widely known in the Masonic fraternity, having served as imperial recorder and imperial potentate of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. During the twenty years he has edited and published the Afro-American Ledger he has succeeded in making it one of the most influential and successful journals of its kind. The plant is one of the best equipped in the country, having a large number of employees. On the eve of his approaching birthday, believing that his journal should be made a more efficient organ of news and opinion, he has contracted for the latest model linotype machine and other machinery as well as the improvement of the news and other features. He attributes a large measure of his success to the sympathetic interest of his late wife, Mrs. Martha E. Murphy, who died last winter. She was president of the Baltimore Y. W. C. A. and was interested in a number of other uplift movements. Mr. Murphy has five sons and four daughters. One son, George, is principal of the largest colored public school in Baltimore. Another, John H. junior, is an instructor of printing and wood turning in the Baltimore Colored high school. Carl J. is an instructor of German at Howard university, and the remaining two, Daniel H. and Arnett, are associated with their father in the active management of the business. His single daughter, Miss Frances, is a teacher. --- g and Baggage Open Van for Moving 75c y Moved. It will pay you with us. Lowest market Prices AVE. DENVER MURPHY, Proprietor PROF. W. M.

There is no guestion about the poll- tics which the “Birth of the Nation” has stirred and is intended to stir up in behalf of Wilson. History is at tempting to repeat itself. All the lead ers before the war came from the south, since the war they have come from the other sectiéns of the coun try. The South must regain by craft injustice, treachery and superior statesmanship what it lost in the war The movie is the latest thing to keep the South in power by keeping the Negro down. The purpose not only of that play but of Dixon’s latest ‘The Victim” is to disarm the Negro and show him as beastial and a dangerous menace when he has the tools of other free men, but as a slave he is docile, con tented thing to be foundled and ad mired. Think of a white company apending a half million dollars to re- flect on the white race! All the court decisions in the world wherein race hatd, race reflection and strife comes as the consequence, cannot help but widen the breach between the races and the Judge who makes such decis- fons stands before God responsible and must some day, somehow answer for his deeds, “In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Be not deceived, God Is not mocked whatsoever a man soweth, that shal he also reap. ‘The recent decision planted race hate and its harvest wil pe full and plentiful. P THE AFTERMATH. “Glory to God in the Highest, on earth, peace and good will toward— all men.” That is the Negroes senti- ment in Denver. While there were some who were trying to make ene- mies, out of neighbors, deepen the chasm between the races, stir up race strife, yet there were others who were doing everything and anytaing in their power to make all of humanity happier and more contented. Some were joyous in making one fifth of this community’s citizens hate the other four fifths, while during the Xmas period, others were so posses- ed of the true Xmas Spirit, that their very presence were so inspiring, hope- ful and fraternal. May God bless these. “Abou Ben Adem’s” Christians and may their tribes increase. No Xmas has found all the Negroes as harmonious, united and determined to get and fight for their own as this Xmas. We are more sympathetic, alert and willing to sink all differ- ences and unitedly face the common foe. Will the Eastern, Northern ané Western Negroes sit idly by and let the South, by various surreptitious plays, decisions, — misrepresentative men in official garb, rob them of their God given rights, reducing them to a near condition of slavery? Men in whom some of Africa's proudest blood courses in their veins, does not your very soul and being revolt at the pbs: meditated deluge? Answer by $i action. Come closer together and stick, . Remember if you don’t hang together you will hang separately. If we must hang let us hang together. The Aftermath teaches us unity on general principles. BOULDER NOTES.

(Continued from page 1.) the people dislike itas a law they repudiate, desecrate and overthrow the precedent. To allow it to stand would be to to allow it to become a law, As the population of England increased and only a few had the right to own land, and this few by the precious right of inheritance. Millions had to leave England to settle in for- eign lands—America, India, Africa, Asia. Wherever they settle they carried and ap. plied the property laws of England. In the U.S. A. dis- inherited men who in Eng- land could never by any pos- sibility haye owned a single foot of ground, found them- selves upon taking the lands of the Indian. possessors of estates greater than the great- est estatesin England. Their first thought was to entail these American lands to their own descendants forever. To that end, it was necessary to deprive Indian blood of the right of inheritance. Nowun- der the English law of prece- dent if a single drop of Indian blood could inherit, all Indian blood could inherit. Hence there must be no precedent of an Indian inheriting. Hence, Whites and Indians must not be allowed to inter- marry, An Indian could not be tolerated as owner of an estate. By treaty, they se- cured half the Jand of the Indians, As the white popu ation increased, and more whites come from Europe, they took all Indian Jand un- der their policy of excluding La future population of 100,000, ooo Indians trom owning what a future population of 100,000,000 whites would re- quire. | (Continued next week.)

New York.—In reply to a.correspond: ent of the New York Evening Sun who asked the question, “Why does society prefer the Negro musician?” Mg, Janes Reese Europe, the well known com- poser and orchestra leader, says: ‘This is a question recently asked by one of your cerrespondents whose let- ter on the subject was the subject of editorial comment in a recent issue of thegRichmond ‘Times-Dispatch, If the Negro musician enjoys «wy preference at all he does mot enjoy it solely because of his color. In this oc- vcupation, as in all ether desirable ones ‘here in America, the Negro’s color is a handicap, and wherever he achieves success he does so in the face of doutly severecompetition. In certain branches of bis occupation the Negro murician bas been successful—in furnishing en- tertainment at dinner parties, recep- tions and other social functions similar in character, and in furnishing dance anusic. For work of. the former kind his services have always been in de- mand because of his unfailing’ good na ture, his genial, kindly humor and bis versatility. Until recently those who engaged in this work were for the most part untrained musicians who relied solely on their natural talents for suc: cess. 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 (e- 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 ite development was known as “ras time” music. Since the dance is born of musie it is quite apparent that the modern dance ix 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 st ceeded. His success has been duc to bis eMlciency, aud 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 has the mechanical quality which {s fatal to dancing. The Nezro has a superior sense of rhythm, pecul- larly adapting him for dance music ‘The art of playing the modern <yico- pated music fx to him a natural cift He excels in the use of the guitar, ban. jo and mandolin, instruments which are now being generally adopted by or- chestras playing dance wiunste fo olitain the “thrum-throm” effect and the ec- centric, accentuated beat so desirable in dance music, and he was the first to discover the availability of @bhrse in- struments for such purpose. In addition to his uatural talent in the above respects the modern Negro musician is well trained in his art. He reads readily, memorizes marvelously well, interprets maturally and not only understands the principles of technique in the use of his insirument. Int is Te: markably skiliful in execation, as is to be expected when one considers that the Negro possesses a rare faculty for arts requiring physical skill. Perhaps it is fair to say that the Negro has cow: tributed to American music whatever distinctive quality ft possesses. Cer- tainly he is the originator of the hizh- ly syncopated melody 40 much in favor today. It is therefore only natutal 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 passage which not a single white orchestra ever succeeded in playing correctiy, while colored orchestras played it with- out effort, unconscions of its intrica- cles Such preference as the Negro mu- siclan may enjoy is therefore due te efficiency which is the resuit of a nat- ural Inheritance, It is also true that he fs applying himself to the serlous study of his muste. Many of the mem: bers of orchestras are arrangers and composers. ‘There are ten or fifteen such men in this city who have attain- ed a high place tn their profession. LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE.

Xmas Cantata rendered at early morning service at Shorter, a grand musical treat, "Xmas King." Shorter church was beautifully and artistically decorated for the Xmas services by one of the expert decorators and designers of this city. At the early morning services the entire choir never felt so eager to render any cantata as they did "Xmas King." This rendition assisted very noticeably by Prof. Morrison, as violin obligato, was the best cantata rendered in Shorter for many a year. The musical solos, duets, quartettes and choral work were beyond the usual. Especial complimentary remarks are due to Miss Jessie Andrews, Marion Hemphill and Mrs. Harry Barnett. Miss Hicks always does fine and her great success this year has made all of Shorter proud of her work. The organist Mrs. Ross, did excellent work also. Father Bruce, our veteran Odd Fellow and Mason, was so indisposed that he was compelled to remain away from work one week. All of Denver wishes our Daddy Bruce a speedy recovery.

Moton of Hampton institute, Hampton, Va., was chosen at a meeting held in this city on Monday afternoon, Dee. 20, te succeed the late Dr. Booker T. Wash ington as president of Tuskegee insti- tute. The appointment was made by 3 committee of five, who were designat- ed by the Tuskegee board of trustees They were Seth Low, chairman of tlic Tuskegee’ trustees; Frank Trumbull, chairman of the directors of the Ches- apeake and Ohio railway; Edgar 4. Bancroft, a Chicago attorney; W. W. Campbell of Tuskegee, and Victor IL Tulane. The committee issued this statement: “The committee has by unanimous consent appointed Major R. R. Moton to be principal of Tuskegee institute a # os a C Fo E by a igGa ROME ent ie after his installation, which Will take place at the commencement next Mas. Since the meeting of the trustces all the members of the committee have made very thorough tnvestigation of the subject in all tts aspects, and they have concluded that by the selection made the policies, aims ond nittudé of the institute will continue un- changed. ‘They are assured that this appointment will receive hearty co- operation in every quarter. “In taking this action the committee has not been unmindful of the long de votion and of the many qualifications of Emmett J. Scott for the position. The problem to be dealt with is a many sided one, and it has scomed wise to neck a solution of ft that will bring to the work of Tuskegee another forceful ‘personality. Robert Russa Moton. who succeeds the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as principal of the Tuskegee (Aln.) instl- tute and who tx known to thousands of white and colored people as “Mujor™ Moton because he has been comman- dant of cadets at the Hampton (Va.) institute for nearly twenty-flve years, tells in goud faith this simple, eraphic xtory of lls ancestry: “About the year 1735 there was m fierce battle between two of the strong: er tribes on the west coast of Africa. ‘The chief of one of these wus consid ered the most powerful of his time. He succeeded in overpowering bis weaker rival and slaughtered and eap- tured a great many of his band. This chief delivered to his son a dozen of these unfortunate survivors to be sold to.an American sliver. “The young African chief delivered these men to the captain of the ship and received his pay in trinkets. He was then asked to go out to the ship to see this wonderful sailing vessel. After he had inspected the ship be wax asked by the captain to dine. He sald that they gave him some nice food to aut and some atrange things to drink, all of which bw enjoyed so much be fell asleep, When he awoke he was chained to one of the creatures whom he himself hnd wold, and the vessel was headed townrd the United States.” Major Moton wax born in 1867 4p Amelia county, Vi, and spent his ear- ly years at Pleasant Shade, known as the Vaughan plantation, in Prince EA- ward county, Va. There he made Wil- Ne. the planter’x son, his idea! and copled the young man’s tunsuage. walk and dress, As a worker tn the mansion house te had a great deal of leeway and way encouraged to learn, In October of 1885 Robert R. Moton entered Hampton institute — Whev asked if be wax ufraid of hard work he assured the commundant that he was not. He wax assinéd to the sawmill where he leurned to fire the buze boll: ers and to run a Corlixs engine under the direction of an ex-Confederate offi cor who was as xtrict ax he was kind! During bis work year he was constant: ty learning by doing. It waw a period | new people und uew duties. | “When 1 entered Hampton.” says Major “doton, “I had no particular plan as to what 1 should do when | should haye completed the course, As time went on I was more and more inclined to the legal profession. Most of my teachers advised against It, however—that is, they raised the ques- tion whether 1 thought I could render my people the greatest service as a lawyer and whether legal advice was the greatest need of struggling people. General Armstrong thought 1 could be of more use to my people by remain- ing at Hampton and helping to pre- pure teachers, The result was that at the close of the school in June, 1890, I accepted the position of drillmaster and assistant to the commandant of cadets.” | Before his graduation from Hamp- ton Major Moton spent one yeur as & schoolteacher in Cumberland county, Va., where he taught the boys to drill and the girls to take gymnastics. where he taught his people to love and appreciate the plantation songs and where he taught the older children and parents how to make life more worth while, Promptness, alertness, self control, endurance, respect for authori- ty, initiative, good will—these were Hampton's gifts to this useful and safe race leader. In recent years Major Moton has toured a number of the southern states with Dr. Booker T. Washington and has addressed thousands of white and colored people on the value of work ing together in the spirit of mutsal helpfulness for the improvement of community and race conditions. Major Moton’s philosophy is found: ed on common sense and experience. He has constantly urged his people to cultivate race pride, to stand together on all questions of race uplift. to lead clean lives, to be progressive In busl ness, to give an honest day's work for a day's pay, to build better fouses. homes and schools, and, above all, 10 work with their white friends. Major Moton has wisely and skillfully in terpreted for white men and women the fundamental problems which re- late to the masses of colored people who live side by side with them. Dr. W. D. Weatherford describes learly the attitude of the most thoughtful southerners toward Major Moton and his constructive policies. ‘I have heard more than one southern er say that Major Moton savas the sanest and strongest representative of the Negro race that they had ever inet. Others have satd to me that he ik the best speaker, white or black, that they haye ever heard, and-yet he does not claim to be a speaker at all. He has mt clear bend, a noble heart and a manly bearing, which at once con vince you that he hag a messaze worth while and 4s not afrald to give It. “Major Moton has held x most dell ente position at Hampton in the school community there are pure Ne- xroes, mulattoes. Indians. northern white people. southern white people, all working for the same cause—the elevation of the race. It is no easy matter to harmonize all these types, und yet so rare is his tact and xo true ls his Judgment that each group gives him enthusiastic support. Dr. Booker T. Washington hax said of him: “It bas been through contact with men like Major Moton that I have recelyed a kind of education no books could Yopert, It would be worth » trip to Hampton just to know Major Moton. If more of our southern white People could see him, s9 calm, so un- ostentatious, so unpresuming and yet s0 efficient and thorough. they would never way again that the Negro race could not produce a pure blood leader.” Dr. Washington In his book called “My Larger Education” said of Major Motwn: “Major Moton is one of the best read men and one of the most in- teresting men to talk with that T have | ever met. Education has not spoiled him. It has not embittered or narrow. ed bim in his affections. He bas not learned to hate or distrust any clase, of people, and he Is Just as ready to axsist and show 4 kindneks to a white | man as to a black man, to a xouthern er as to a northerner, | “Major Moton knows by intuition | northern white people and southern white people. At the Hampton inst tute they have white teachers and col- ored teachers: ‘They have southern white people and northern white peo- ple: besides, they have colored students and [dian atudents, Major Moton knows how to keep his hands on all these different clements, to see to It that friction 1s kept down and that gach works in harmony with the other. MOURN FOR WASHINGTON. The Late Tuskegee Principal Had Matchless Career, Says “Life.” “Life” speaks of Dr, Booker T, Wash- ington in the following glowing terms: “Very ttle 1» necessary to be sald about Booker Washington, He 1s the most lasting American who has died in a long time. He never held a po- litical office, never influenced an elec- tion that is known of, never yielded to the delusion that salvation comes by votes, but where shall one match in a contemporary career the sum of his accomplishment in thirty-five years for this country? “Mourn for Booker Washington! It is to Jament that his years were not more, but they wufficed for a prodigious work.” Nerth Carolina Seciety’s Reception.
