Eppicurus and Bacchus It is good sometimes for man to stop still in his rapid development amidst life's battles and forget his sorrows, banish his fears in economic contests, unload his business and professional cares and finally seek relief in an aged philosophy, "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow, ye may die." A philosophy that continuously plunges men down into a gulf of despair, without hope of relief, without power to defend himself and his own against oppression and injustice is a kind of wisdom from which many shrink and temporarily turn toward the joy which Bacchus and Epicurus afford. With the insignia "ad nostras teminas" (to our wives and sweethearts) suspended over the door entering Dania Hall, Denver's Ultra-fashionable colored society reached its zenith of its activity last Thursday night when the Bon Vivants gave its 16th annual festival and banquet. Years ago this exclusive society established a reputation for entertaining once a year their wives and sweethearts. A genial air of the holiday spirit, a little bit unusual this year, prevailed because of the impending dry situation. More artistic effects than those of last Thursday night never have been attained in the decorations. The ladies' reception rooms, the banquet and music rooms amid the electric lights were festooned with ropes of greenery, running from the sides and corners to the center of ceiling from which dropped a large "Campbell" made of blue and white crepe papers, while pine trees, thru which electric lights twinkled, were banked in the corners and wreaths of holly arranged in the windows. Bright red oak berries formed a false ceiling in the main hall.

Coming into the hall there was a storm canopy over head where loads of auto parties greeted the carpeted path to door. Upon entering the ladies reception and rest rooms the ladies found themselves in a bower of palms, ferns and other holiday greens, encircling a large mirror in large letters "a nos femmes" starred with vivid poinsettas which converted the room into a fairyland garden of prom inence. All the costumes for this grand and festive function were creaking with newness, having only left the confines of the modiste very shortly. The softer shades blending with some of more vivid colors lent an effective dash of color to the admiring scenes. Morrison's miniature orchestra screened by palms and terns rendered most enchanting music intermittently especially when the Goddess of Terpsichore was at the height of ecstasy. The quietude plunged into the confines of this musical realm and with others held you there, while the members sang, orated and toasted. The President's wife carrying an armful of the palest pink roses intermingled with feathery ferns and tied with a large bow of Old Rose Satin ribbon gave a pretty touch of color to her costume, led the ladies as they entered the banquet hall. They marched single file the full length of the hall with all the charm and ease characteristic of beautiful women. Roses ranging in color from the pallest shades of pink to the deepest red made a most extraordinary artistic table decorations, with the respective acolytic place cards of rarety and suggestion announcing impromptu speakers. Scarlet carnations formed themselves into a center piece. One peculiar advantage prominent in operation was that the excellent work in preparing and service and all in connection with the ministerial part were of our own color. The palatable and inviting menu consisted of velvet cream, mushroom bisque, celery, laced toast, young fau Dearfield Turkey roasted to a teasing brown color, cranberry sauce, parker house (Continued on page 7.) Tulle and net were most popular fabrics worn in the gowns, white taffeta, brocade and bodices were also much used. Everyone brilliant; for no evening gown is a success this season unless bedecked with rhinestones, sequins, cut steel, jet or crystals glistenning from the folds of tulle or net work. Add to this scene the effect of the green cedars around, over all the doors some transfixed upon the walls, with letters "B. V.", everywhere green shubbery in evidence beneath the vari colored electric lights. Picture the male guests frocked in conventional black evening attire with white gloves gracefully and gallantly marching up and down and across the banquet Protest Committee Issues Address to City, State and Nation. Birth of a Nation Decision Helps to Kill Play. Managers Frantically Advertise for Crowds. We, the Negroes of this country, are citizens of the United States. We constitute one-eighth of the numerical strength of the American people. We furnish one-sixth of the wage earning class, and are firmly interwoven in the nation's industrial and economic fabric. We have by our hard labor, by our rightful living and by our loyalty to this country, earned the right of citizenship, and this right we mean to possess. Side by side with the white man, we have labored and suffered, fought and died for the growth and protection of this country—and side by side with the white man we mean to enjoy the fruit of our labor. Like the white man, we are ambued with the desire for liberty and justice; we speak the white man's language, conduct the same modes of activity—worship the same God—serve the same country and defend the same flag—And from this country, under the folds of her flag, we have the same right to demand and receive protection from persecution, equal rights and justice before the law, as have any other citizen of this country. Unto the Aliens from other countries, unto the strangers within her gates, unto every representation of other races, the most cordial welcome, the most courteous treatment, the strongest protection are afforded. To all save the Negro, who is neither alien nor stranger, but law-abiding, tax-paying representative of this government yet, unlike any other race of people, the Negro is the victim of race hatred and prejudice. Our every effort to climb upward is met with a determined effort on the part of certain white men to pull us down and crush us beneath their heels. Our equal rights and the protection due us as citizens are constantly being denied to the end that our race progress is retarded and we are prescribed and humiliated. DECORATIONS SOFT MUSIC DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 8, 1916 give us fair play. That hence forth our watchword will be "The Negro", our motto "Our interests first." Be it further resolved that to those State Officials and kind white friends who sympashized with us in our efforts and who lent us their aid, we extend our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks. That to the representatives from the City Attorney's office who so ably and unselfishly handled our case, we also extend sincere thanks. That we cannot sufficiently commend in words, Commissioners Sharpley, Greenlee and Pitcher for the loyal and manly stand they took in striving to suppress the picture, but that in connection with our thanks, we also pledge them our united support in the further discharge of their duties. Be it further resolved that we properly show our gratitude to Attorney W. B. Townsend; First for his wise forethought in framing and having passed by the City Council the ordinance forbidding such exhibitions as this show, and his making it possible for the city to assume the responsibility of our fight. And again, for the way in which he so ably and unselfishly directed and protected our interests That we consider him a leader whom we can trust. One equal to every emergency, one who meets the white man on level as man to man, and one who in his fight for right and justice is bold, invincible and unafraid. That we continue to give to Lawyer Townsend our united support, not only in his effort to have this matter settled by the Supreme Court, but in whatever he undertakes to do to better our condition in this community. The latest devices, selected to humiliate us and bring us into disrespect, are shows and photo plays, which, based upon the perverted imagination of prejudiced play writers of the Dixon and Griffith type, portray the Negro as a race, of beastial wretches and despositers of virtue. Such a photoplay is in our city today marring the spirit of Christmas, and spreading its venom broadcast among the people with whom we must live and from whom we must get our support. Every lawful way that we as law-abiding, peaceful citizens of this community could invoke, we have used to have this photoplay suppressed. But once again we have been reminded that this is a white man's country that the courts are governed and controlled by white judges, that the Negro can expect no justice or fair play before the law since the Negro has no rights that a white man must respect. Be it further resolved that THE DENVER STAR, through its editor, Mr. Geo. Ross be warmly commended for the stand it took in fighting this play. Through the columns of this paper we have been able to keep in touch with conditions as they existed both here and elsewhere. When other Negro editors remained silent, too cowardly to take a stand for us for fear of offending some white advertisers. Mr. Ross rushed into the fray with his fluent pen, boldly took his stand as a race man ang placed his paper in the foremost ranks of race journalism. In our time of need and trouble, the DENVER STAR proved itself our friend and defender. Be it resolved therefore, that we the Negroes of Denver do adopt the DENVER STAR as our race paper from this time onward, and help to support and build it up by every means in our power in grateful appreciation of the noble efforts it is putting forth in support of our rights. Lastly, be it resolved that we strive in our daily lives to prove to the citizens of Denver the falsity of the charges made against the Negro in this play. That we continue law-abiding, peace loving citizens, that we try to build up this our home city by patient labor and submission to its laws rather than destroy it by race riots and the bombs of anarchists. That we continue to check and discourge all thoughts of strife and mob violence in the minds of our people and instill in their hearts, so deeply crushed and humiliated by this new unprovoked insult—the beauti- But God has not forgotten us. He has raised up kind friends to help us in our struggle for right. And he has joined together more closely than ever before the Negroes of this community. So we will not give up hope, but from the ashes of our temporary defeat, will kindle a stronger flame of race pride and loyalty and continue to fight until this and all similar shows will be barred from our state. To this end—Be it resolved that we, the Negro Citizens of Denver in mass meeting assembled, do denounce as untrue, base, immoral and degrading the photoplay "The Birth of a Nation" and that we reassert that it is intended to stir up strife, to discredit us as a race, to inspire race prejudice, and retard the progress of the race by instilling into the minds of the white child the belief that all Negroes are unworthy, treacherous and base—and in the mind of the black child a feeling of discouragement and supreme disgust and shame for the forefathers from whom he has come. Again, be it resolved that we, the Negroes of Denver, will continue to do all in our power to stamp out the evils which will follow in the path of this play, and endeavor to protect both ourselves and this community from further insults resulting from invasions of this kind. That in furtherance of this plan, we will lay aside all religious creeds, political parties, social differences, selfish ambitions, and re membering only that we are Negroes, form ourselves into one strong party "The Negro Party" and present a solid front to the enemy. That we will use our ballot as our weapon of race defense and protection. That we will re gard every public issue from the standpoint of how it effects us as Negroes, and act accordingly. That we will elimi nate from our ranks, the traitors of our race, who in their selfish desire to secure some tempting morsel for himself, would sacrifice our every principle of right and justice and deliver us into the hands of the enemy. That we will here after work for men and principles rather than political part ies and endeavor to place in office men ready and willing to FIVE CENTS A COPY. (Continued from last week.) With their theory of entail and theory of precedent, they could tolerate the Indian as a person stripped of all rights of possession and inheritance, that is, a slave. Against this provision the Indian waged a war that resulted in his extermination. Now I come to the Negro. These whites had need of farm laborers. But with their expectation of millions of future white immigrants from Europe, and expectation that their own descendants would in time, increase to 100,000,000, they determined that imported laborers should have no right of inheritance in the country, lest the 100,000,000 descendants of these in time should have property needful to whites, only as slaves could imported labor have such a perpetual disability. Now it was solely to the end that Negroes and their increasing descendants should have no power to inherit the country that they were brought over in the character of slaves. It was not at all for the cheapness of slave labor, nor out of inhumanity. The whites then faced the question of these Negroes increasing to millions coming to own the country. As freemen, they certainly would have acquired a large part of it. To keep them from acquiring any part of it they were made slaves and for this sole reason. From that day to this hour the white race has been exercised to keep extinguished any power of Negro blood to the country. As a precedent would be fatal to such a provision, not a single drop of Negro blood could be recognized as having a right of inheritance. On this account, throughout the entire period of slavery not a single white could take, free, or recognize his mulatto, octoroon or quadroon child. Such an act would place Negro blood in the line of succession to inherit by entail; and the precedent of a single case would give all Negro blood a hereditary right to the country. For the same reason since emancipation, laws have been passed by the states against miscegenation and half bloods made unrecognized outcasts. In any country, the right of inheritance is the right eminent. It alone transfers the country to succeeding generations. It is given only to the "blood of the family" who has not this right is only a sojourner, tenant servant, stranger a person dispossessed of the country. The mere right of possession can be bought out confiscated, oppressed, and terminated at any time. But the right of inheritance by passing over generations and mixing the families, is extinguishable, and gives the country itself. (To be Continued.) ful lesson of hope.

POPE, B. D., PASTOR. The pastor will fill the pulpit tomorrow, both morning and evening. At the morning hour his subject will be, "Womanhood and the Making of the Home," and at evening, "Opportunities for Service in Public Life." Shorter opened the New Year with aplendid services last Sunday. The pastor delivered his New Year's message before a highly appreciative audience at 11:00 and four persons were received into the church: Mrs. F. A. Simmons, 2336 Ogden, Mr. E. C. Barber, 3333 Williams, Mrs. Lula Gilmore and Miss Lela Andrews of 708 29th St. At 3 o'clock, Hon. Seth Lowe, Ex-Mayor of New York City and Ex-President of Columbia University, delivered a remarkable address before a large audience. Mr. Lowe is an easy, pleasing and convincing speaker, and the high tribute paid Dr. Booker T. Washington and the interest he manifests in our people prove him to be a rare character of whom the race may be justly proud. At the close of his speech there was a rush on the part of his audience to grasp his hand and express their very great approval of his message. At the evening hour our choir rendered to great advantage a cantata, "The Christmas King," before a splendid crowd. Through the courtesy of Dr. R. A. Randolph, the members of the choir were supplied with fragrant bouquets of carnations. This token of appreciation seemed to have greatly inspired the singers and the verdict of the audience was the latter rendition was better than the former. At the regular election of the Usher's Club held recently, the following officers were chosen: W. A. Johnson, Pres.; Wm. Robinson, Vice-Pres.; R. G. Johnson, Sec'y.; H. G. Mason, Asst. Sec'y.; Chas.

Campbell, Tuesday night; Dr. W. E. Fry, Wednesday night; Dr. D. L. Lang, Corona Christian, Thursday night; Rev. Thos. Bell, Friday night; Rev. L. B. West, Saturday night. Each speaker was a live wire on the general subject of "Peace and Unity." At 6:30 Sunday evening the pastor will entertain in a fellowship supper all the parishioners with their friends in the Chapel. It is hoped every member and well-wisher of the People's Church will sit around the festive board. The orchestra will provide suitable music for the occasion and at the same time in keeping with the Sabbath. There are still a number of sick persons confined to home among the membership of the Church. Miss Stripiin and Mrs. Bessie Hughes are about the same. Messrs Don Reeves, Jas. Gibbs and Miss Arula Cole are on the mend. We pray for their complete recovery speedily.

E. Henderson, Pastor. Shiloh will no longer hold its services at the above named place because of the fact that the church building belongs to the C. B. & Q. R. R. Co., and the Railroad Co. has informed the Mission that the Mission will have to assume responsibility for any accident that may occur by people crossing their tracks going to and from the church. The members of the Mission felt that this was more responsibility than they were able to assume. Shiloh Mission will therefore select another place of worship; the location of which will be announced in the next issue of this paper. Last Friday, Prof. J. L. Jones, Supt. of the Sunday School, had a very bad accident in which his left foot was badly crushed. He is confined to his bed in his home at 104 Josephine St. Members and friends are urged to visit him. PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH 3131 Walnut St. Phone Champa 3493 REV. C. A. MILLER, PASTOR.

A. last Saturday afternoon and evening, from 2:30 to 6:30 o'clock. Several members of the Committee of Management were on hand to receive the guests and show them through the building. The friends came steadily, in twos, and threes, and in larger groups. The fact that the Young Women's Christian Association on Washington street was receiving at the same time, made it easy for them to visit both places. They played music and games and had a pleasant time in general. Over two hundred were received during the opening hours. The refreshments were in charge of Mrs. Glimore-Smith and Mr. W. E. Parks. The men's meeting at four o'clock Sunday afternoon was not largely attended, owing to two large meetings that were being held at the Shorter and Zion churches. Seth Low of New York was speaking at Shorter's, and at Zion all the Baptists of the city were holding a union communion service. All men are invited to the meeting next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. Rev. Thos. S. Young, pastor of the Broadway Baptist Church, will be the speaker. His subject will be, "The Map Who Made Good." The boys' work is rapidly taking shape. Meetings will be held for them every Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The opening meeting was held last Sunday afternoon with Secretary J. G. Arnold, of the Boys' Work Department of the Central Y. M. C. A. the speaker. His subject was, "The unfortunate Boy." It was highly encouraging to see the number present, thirty-five in all. Herbert Williams and Theodore Morris were ushers. Some of those present were: Theodore Andrews, Roosevelt Alernathy, Julian Brown, Cuthbert Byrd, Carl Chatman, Charles Clarke, William Clarke, Chas. Cobb, Frank Eperson, Orris Evans, Samuel Franklin, Maxwell Gaines, William Grundy, Lee Gwyn, Cecil Hayes, Jimmie Hinkle, Cornelius Handy, Komer Johnson, Frank Jones, Alex Kelan, James Kirk, John Morris, Theodore Morris, Ersal Morrison, Melvin Phillips, Verda Randolph, Atwell Rose, Edward Rose, William Shivers, Robert Smith, Glenn Stewart and Herbert Williams. It was a great meeting for the boys, Mr. W. E. Clarke of the Western Union, will be the speaker next Sunday afternoon. His subject will be, "Making the Team." All boys from the ages of 11 to 17 years of age are invited. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. The Young Women's Christian Association held its first open house on New Year's afternoon in the club room, 318 25th St. It will long be remembered as a milestone in the history of the club, which from now on will be known as the Phyllis Wheatley branch. There were about sixty callers during the afternoon. Each was presented with a dainty New Year's Greeting. The regular meeting was held at 8 o'clock Monday evening and was well attended. Since the first Monday evening in the month is for business, there was no speaker. Beginning Thursday evening Bible class will meet from 7 to 8 o'clock, in the club room under direction of Miss Scott a secretary of the Central Association. A sewing class will also be organized to meet on the same night under-direction of Miss Bensen, also of the Central Association. Other classes are being organized. The membership list has reached 82 and our present goal is 100. All women are cordially invited. Give me instead of a long stream of life The tempests and tears of the deep.

Views of a Philadelphia Organization ‘en Problem of Equal Rights. ‘The Cosmopolitan Literary and Lib: eral league of Philadelphia in its dec- Jaration-of prineiples as-announced by its secretary, Dr. Caesar A. A. P. Tay- lor. makes the following statement in fts discussion of legal rights for all American citizens without regard to race or color: This nation at its birth saluted a startled and listening world by an- nouncing the sublime and glorious truth that “all men are created free ‘and equal and endowed by their Maker with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, lberty and the pur- suit of happiness.” Its voice then ‘was as the trump of an archangel, summoning hoary forms of oppression and time honored tyranny to judg- ment. Crowned heads heard it and shriek- ed. Tolling millions heard it and clap- ped their hands for joy. It announced the advent of a nation based upon human brotherhood and the self evi- dent truths of liberty and equality. Its mission was the redemption of the world from the bondage of ages, and Yet, despite this announcement, it was nation but half free. It started all right in theory, but it was hypocritical in practice, Moses, the greatest of all lawgivers and legislators, sald while his face was yet radiant with the light of Sinai, “Whoso stealeth a man and sell- eth him, or if be be found tn bis hand, he shall surely be put to death.” The destroying angel has already gone through this land to execute the fear- ful penalties of God's broken law. The | representatives of the nation have bowed with reverence to the Divine edict and laid the ax at the foot of the tree and thus saved succeeding generations from the guilt of oppres- sion and from the wrath of God. Statesmen, jurists and philosophers most renowned for learning and most profound in every department of sct- ence and lterature have testified against slavery, while oratory has brought {ts costliest golden treasures and laid them on the altar of God and of freedom. It hax aimed tts fiercest lightning and loudest thunder at the strongholds of tyranny, Injustice and despotism. From the days of Balak to those of Isainh and Jeremiah, up to the times of Paul and through every age of the Christian church, the sons of thunder have denounced the abom- inable thing. ‘The heroes who stood tn the shining ranks of the bosts of the friends of freedom and progress, from Cicero to Chatham and Burke, Sharp, Wilber- force and Thomas Clarkson and Cur- ran, assaulted the citadel of despotism. The orators and statesmen of our own land, whether they belong to the past or to the present age, will live and shine in the annals of history in pro- portion as they have dedicated their genius and talents to the defense of Justice and man’s God given rights. The solution of the whole problem in- volving both the white man and the black man fs simple justice, a recogni- tion of the fact that the rights of the humblest citizen are as worthy of protection as those of the highest. Ap- ply this method and the problem will be solved. And whatever may be in store for this nation in the future, whether prosperity or _adveraity, whether there be foes within or foes without, whether there shall be peace or war, based upon the eternal princi- ples of truth, justice and humanity, with no class having cause for com- plaint or grievance, our republic will stand and flourish.

National Organization Holds Eighth Annual Meeting In Philadelphia. ‘The eighth annual meeting of the National Equal Rights 'eague, beld for three days in Philadelphia, closed on Wednesday evening, Dec. 15. with an exercise commemorative of the adop- tion of the thirteenth amendment te the United States constitution. There were many men and women of na- tional prominence in attendance. and much public interest was manifested In the work of the organization. The address to the country is in part as follows: It is on the fiftieth anniversary of the final and constitutional abolition of chattel slavery in the United States o1 America that we, Americun citizens of color, assemble in Philadelphia. the state of the great reconstruction states- man, Thaddeus Stevens. who carried the thirteenth amendment through our national house of representatives. After a half century of freedom, dur- ing which the colored American has achieved remarkable educational, relf- gious and business progress and dem- onstrated the highest human possibil- ities, the National Equal Rights league in eighth annual meeting assembled finds that Americans of African de- scent are still denied in many sections of the land their legal rights: By law the right to vote on the same terms as others, native and natural- ized; by practice the right to enter Places of public accommodation and resort; by law the right to use pub- Ve facilities without the indignity of racial discrimination; by law the right to reside, even in their own property. adjacent to their fellow citizens; by action of the federal government the right to work beside and to use the necessary health accessories with other employees of the federal government in some government buildings at the national capital; by practice the right of trial by court and jury when ac cused of crime.

Critics say this young man is one of the most con- sistent runners in the western confer ence. Mr. Ferguson is a self supporting student, He has worked at one of the fraternity houses ever since be en- tered this school and has been able to realize a sufficient amount to defray all expenses. He bas been a great helper to bis fellow students. Many have found work through his intuence. In 1914 there was organized in this university the Ohio State Jubilee Sing- ers. This organization was effected after the persistent efforts of Mr. Fer- guson to get a representative band of colored singers for the university. At present he is the efficient head of these singers, president of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and a member of the Varsity Ohio association. ‘The culmination of Mr. Ferguson's college career was reached en Oct. 8, 1915, when he was elected class orator over one of the most active and prom- inent seniors on the campus. This is the first time In the history of the “Ohio State university that this dis- tinction has gone to a colored student. ‘The public awaits in great anxiety the unfolding of this young man’s ca- reer. He has the proper attitude to- want bis fellow man and the moral courage to stand for his earnest con- victions. Mr. Ferguson's home is at Institute, W.

MARY ROBINSON OF INDIANAPOLIS, IND., STAR LOSES FAITHFUL AND EFFICIENT ASSISTANT It is with the deepest regret that the Star announces the death of Mrs. Mary Robinson of 415 W. Pratt St., Indianapolis, Ind., mother of Mrs. Celia M. Stewart, who for two years has been our efficient and faithful bookkeeper. We did not know her mother; we never met her only thru her daughter, yet we felt we had personally met her. The burning lamp of mother's love ever bright, always lit up the path of those who came in contact with her and was always discernable. God only knows the heart—2—STAR—Jan 6 Hen tain peaks and then slowly and seadaches, the trials and painful sufferings of her daughter's struggles for her mother's happiness. The Star with the deepest pain extends its sympathy to her and keenly appreciates her loss in the bereavement of her mother. Mrs. Celia M. Stewart was one of the best assistants the Star has ever had connected with it, and it is with the deepest sense of this great loss, that we were willing to consent to her permanent departure. She came to the Star when we needed a strong prop. She knew and sympathized with the Star's troubles, its losses through petty stealings and went to work and greatly assisted in putting the business system now in vogue here. We can never forget her, nor will we fail to appreciate her worth to us. Not only do we mourn, but all of Denver mourns with us. May God be your refuge, your strength and guide. God bless you and keep you is our sincerest prayer and wish. Vale! AN APPEAL TO ALL SOCIETIES AND RACEMEN AND WOMEN. SEE THE GREAT K. OF P. ENCAMPMENT IN COLUMBUS, O. A CHANCE IN A LIFE TIME.

Go and encourage further effort along this line. THE HON. SETH LOWE AT SHORTER. Neither space nor time will permit an extensive comment on the excellent and far-reaching address, "My Estimate of the Late B. T. Washington, Tuskegee and Major Moton." It is seldom that the audience will agree with everything a speaker will say even though he may says many helpful things. Hon. Seth Lowe is a great generous white man, who is our friend. But the Star disagreed with him when he wants us to smile, be patient and extremely charitable when our enemies are lynching, burning, stealing our rights, abusing our women, etc., and have done so for the past 50 years. All we say don't advise the injured ones to be patient, tell the man who inflicts the wrongs to let us alone. We are not fighting them but they are fighting and perforce of circumstances for self preservation we must fight back. However, we thoroughly enjoyed his helpful advice.

There is no question about the politics which the "Birth of the Nation" has stirred and is intended to stir up in behalf of Wilson. History is attempting to repeat itself. All the leaders before the war came from the south, since the war they have come from the other sections of the country. 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 freemen, but as a slave he is docile, contented thing to be foundled and admired. Think of a white company spending a half million dollars to reflect on the white race! All the court decisions in the world wherein race hate, race reflection and strife comes as the consequence, cannot help but widen the breach between the races and the Judge who mases such decisions 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 shall he also reap. The recent decision planted race hate and its harvest will be full and plentiful. "Glory to God in the Highest, on earth, peace and good will toward—all men." That is the Negroes sentiment in Denver. While there were some who were trying to make enemies out of neighbors, deepen the chasm between the races, stir up race strife, yet there were others who were doing everything and anything 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 possessed of the true Xmas Spirit, that their very presence were so inspiring, hopeful 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 fight for their own as this Xmas. We are more sympathetic, alert and willing to sink all differences and unitedly face the common foe. Will the Eastern, Northern and 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 proustest blood courses in their veins, does not your very soul and being revolt at the pre-meditated deluge? Answer by your 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. COMPLEXION BLEMISH Yes, that sluggish liver often causes it. Dr. King's New Life Pills clears the complexion, throws off impurities and releases bile naturally and easily. Unless the bowels move freely and regularly all the powder in the world will not permanently cover "that muddy complexion." This laxative is mild yet effective. It does not gripe or sicken in its effects. You will not dispute the merits of Dr. King's New Life Pills. Start a treatment today. 25c. THE AFTERMATH. INDICATIONS OF RACE SOLIDARITY Progress Made the Past Year Through United Effort. GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED. Brief Review of Leading Events Among Afro-Americans Shows Remarkable Work Along Many Lines of Activity—Great Work of Dr. J. E. Spingarn. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—Civilization is the altruistic fruition of the ages and rests upon man's unselfish service to man, says Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn. He also says that faith in man is as important as faith in God and that faith in God unaccompanied by faith in man is an injury, not a benefit, to human society. This is a broad statement, with a truth as broad as its meaning from whatever point of view we may discuss it. In relation to the efforts and achievements of the colored race in America Dr. Roman's pose dixit is applicable to the letter. Efficiency, preparedness and service are leading elements and essentials in the progress of nations, races and individuals toward the higher and better things of this life. The past year (1915) was one of great effort and struggle in many directions among our people and along many lines for racial betterment. Without the qualities of manhood and spiritual attitude such as we find in Dr. Roman's declaration our race could never have recorded to its credit the marvelous progress which we see and read of within the short period of fifty years as free Americans. Spingarn Makes Plan For Square Deal In the effort for equal legal rights and the enforcement of the law alike to all, without regard to race or color, the first gunshot of the year was fired by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Spingarn made a tour of several of the western states, which lasted through the month of January. In Chicago, Columbus, Dayton and Cleveland, O., and at Indianapolis, Ind., he spoke before the chambers of commerce and other organized business groups of prominent and influential white mep on the necessity of using their influence on the side of justice for our people and in the matter of giving them an equal chance and equal pay for the same kind of labor as other groups of Americans receive. Dr. Spingarn created much favorable sentiment in our behalf. From Jan. 1 to the end of April Editor William Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian toured many of the northern and western states, speaking in the large cities against race segregation. On this tour Mr. Trotter told how a committee appointed by the Equal Rights league, of which he was chairman, made a visit in November, 1914, to Washington and there laid the matter of race segregation in the government departments before the president. The result of the conference created a national sensation from the fact that for the first time since this unjust practice had been put in force it was admitted that such a practice existed. Mr. Trotter received much praise and some criticism for the part which he took in this interview with the president. Public sentiment finally decided that it was an act in behalf of human rights and American citizenship, which were above the selfish motives of any individual and that it was performed in a legal, orderly manner and was therefore lustifiable. Dr. Just Wins Spingarn Medal. The big event for the month of February was the annual meeting of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, held at Ethical Culture hall, New York. At this meeting Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York awarded to Dr. Ernest Everett Just, head of the department of physiology at Howard university, the first Spingarn gold medal. This trophy, which costs $100, is offered annually by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the above named association, to the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor. Responding to the call of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington for a national health campaign the third week in March, over two-thirds of the large organizations of various objects and alms conducted public meetings where instructive talks and addresses were made and literature on health topics was distributed. This movement was the first of its kind on so large a scale ever undertaken and in which the public evinced unusual interest. The rural communities were greatly benefited, and in several large cities the death rate among our people for the eight months following was much lower. Nine Local Business Leagues Formed. Some of the important events of April were the meeting of the fifty-first annual Delaware conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at Atlantic City, N. J. Representatives from 160 churches were present, and much good was accomplished. At Boston Rouge, La., the State Colored Teacher's association held its eleventh annual meeting. Local business leagues were organized in the following cities: Camden, N. J.; Cleburne, Tex.; Springfield, Mo.; Anderson, S. C.; Brinson, Ga.; Ramer, Ala.; Staunton, Va.; Gainesville, Tex., and Mason, Tenn. The latter part of May the majority of our educational institutions closed with the graduation of large numbers of young men and women well prepared for service as teachers and leaders in the various sections of the country. The month was also notable in religious circles, especially in the south, where many associations and conferences held their annual meetings. An increase in membership, efficiency in church work and liberal giving for education, home and foreign missions were indicated by the reports rendered by the church officials. Important Meetings In June and July. Early in June commencement exercises were held at the Virginia Union university, Howard university, Wilberforce and other schools for higher training. The New England Baptist missionary convention held its annual meeting in New York, with the largest attendance, perhaps, in its history. This convention reported a large increase in the number of churches free of debt and the largest amount of money collected throughout its jurisdiction since it was organized at Providence, R. I., in 1875. The National Baptist Sunday School congress met at Birmingham, Ala., with an attendance of over 25,000. Chief among the many events which occurred in July were the annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, held at Syracuse, N. Y., and the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, which met in Philadelphia. The event of the month which attracted national attention, however, was the exposition held at Richmond, Va., which opened on July 5 and closed on the 27th. For this event congress appropriated $55,000. Giles B. Jackson was the chief promoter of the exposition. He received liberal financial support from the states of Virginia and New York and the hearty co-operation of many persons of prominence in the several states. Three Great National Gatherings. Three big gatherings of national importance held during the month of August brought together persons from possibly every state in the Union. They were the National Negro Business league, held in Boston; the eighteenth biennial session of the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias of the World and the eighth biennial session of the encampment of the uniform rank department of the order with the Supreme Court of Calanthe, held at Columbus, O., and the opening of the Lincoln Jubilee and half century celebration at Chicago, which lasted from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16. Bishop Samuel Fallows was president of the commission under whose auspices the celebration was held. A meeting of another organization of great importance was that of the Ancient Order of Mystic Shrimers, held in New York. The largest religious gathering of the year was that of the national Baptist convention at Chicago in September. This convention split on the question of ownership of the National Baptist Publishing house at Nashville, Tenn. The matter is being settled by the courts of Tennessee, which have jurisdiction on account of the publishing house being located in that state and from which state its charter was secured. Educational and Legal Matters. Among other events of the year may be mentioned the raising the curriculum of the West Virginia Colored institute to college rank and changing its name to the West Virginia Collegiate institute. The nullification by the United States supreme court of the grandfather clause in the laws of Maryland and Oklahoma was a long step forward toward law enforcement. The decision of the court created great interest throughout the nation. In commenting on the court's decision Rufus Lewis Perry, the noted Brooklyn lawyer, says: "By the decision of the United States supreme court in the Maryland and Oklahoma cases the man of color has come into his own again; the race has been advanced to its constitutional rights in the states south of the Mason and Dixon Line. Prejudice has received its deserved rebuke and constitutional rights acknowledged. The cry of 'Watchman, what of the night?' has for its answer, 'All is well.'" The result of the annual meeting of the Negro Organization society, held at Petersburg, Va., showed the society now works through 268 organizations, classified as follows: One hundred and seven religious bodies, 112 school improvement leagues and teachers' associations, 42 fraternal orders, 5 farmers' conferences, 1 emancipation association and 1 bank. It influences more or less directly at least 50 percent of the colored people in Virginia—that is, nearly 350,000. Convention of Equal Rights League. The accounts of the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee. Ala., on Sunday, Nov. 14, are too familiar to the public at this time to require comment. He was recognized throughout this nation and in foreign lands as one of America's foremost men. Dr. Washington is succeeded in the principalship of the Tuskegee institute by Major Robert R. Moton of Hampton institute, Virginia. The annual convention of the National Equal Rights league, held in Philadelphia, and the annual meeting of the American Negro academy at Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 28 and 29, were doubtless the two most important gatherings for the month of December.

Committee on State of Country For Large and Influential Religious Organization Plans For a Determined Fight on Race Diffranchisement Fine Program Arranged. Washington. - The New England Baptist convention, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D., president, will hold a mammoth mass meeting at the Florida Avenue Baptist church in this city on Wednesday, Feb. 9, 1916, at 2 o'clock p. m. The meeting will be conducted by members of the committee on state of country, which was appointed at the annual session of the convention held at the Mount Olivet Baptist church in New York last June. Copies of the printed report of the committee will be delivered to every member of congress the day on which the convention is held. The object of the meeting is to make an unqualified fight against the disfranchisement of the colored men of the country as practiced in many states of the Union. The afternoon session will be called to order by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, minister of the Mount Carmel Baptist church of this city. The presiding officer will be the Rev. Dr. W. B. Reed of Newport. R. L., chairman of the committee. The Rev. W. J. Lucas of Flushing, N. Y., will be the first speaker. His subject is "Disfranchisement Makes a Man a Subject Citizen." The Rev. W. J. Winston of Baltimore will open the discussion on the subject. [Image of a man with a bald head and a dark suit, looking directly at the camera. The background is plain white. There are no other discernible features or text.]] "Disfranchisement Makes Subject Citizens Targets of the Mob and Disarms Them In the Courts." The Rev. James E. Churchman of New Jersey will discuss the evil effects of disfranchisement and how it tends to spread in every line of human activity. Federal supervision over federal elections and why the ballot gives citizens the right of protest and protection will be outlined by the Rev. J. C. Austin of Pittsburgh. Rev. William A. Havrod, Ph. D., of Hartford, Conn., corresponding secretary of the convention, will speak on the ballot as the basis of political ascendancy, and Professor R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia seminary and college at Lynchburg, Va., will open the discussion on the things in which we are industrially, economically and divinely concerned and which we have a right to speak on by reason of the ballot. The evening session will be called to order by Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, president of the convention. The committee is composed of the following named persons: W. B. Reed, Rhode Island, chairman; G. W. Krygar, New Jersey, recording secretary; J. W. Henderson; New Jersey, treasurer; W. F. Graham, Pennsylvania; J. R. Bennett, Pennsylvania; F. Hedgeman, Pennsylvania; C. A. Ward, Massachusetts; D. S.

After the club song was sung, then Toastmaster Chester Stell briefly announced the program which was assigned for the oratory and eloquence. The welcome address by T. E. McClain, D. D. S., was inspiring and retrospective with his storehouse of eloquence. He swayed the guests at the banquet table like the gentle zephyr in a midsummer night amid leaves in a tree top. The chorus "Hall, Hail the Gang all Here." Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook on the subject of "Ladies" (his hobby) plunged into the sea of oratory with his literary bark and touched islands of usefulness in pulchritude, youth and health, now sailing in oceans of joy, then on streams of professionalism, lakes of domesticity, as well as bays of matrimony. He safely landed on a dry dock in Dania Hall, the inland empire of festivity. The chorus of ladies led "When I Was a Tulip," assisted by male bassos. If ever there was a complete surprise in anyone's ability to orate and electrify, it was when Mrs. Eugene A. (Jessie) Carter fully and completely responded in behalf of the ladies. Having had two excellent speakers to precede her, she tried her wings of eloquence, rhetorical flights and elocution and she flew high and long among the ether, mountain peaks and then slowly and steadily descended touching the valleys, ravines and low marshes and when we found ourselves we were sitting, completely electrified with our mouths open, eyes staring in vacancy as she closed her peroration, elogizing the "gratefulness of service" in honoring womankind. To outdo and break the spell of this lady a male quintett, Dr. McClain, Messrs Gross, Carrie, Jean Carter and Wm. Stewart, facetiously sang "When I Leave this World (ferment) Behind" and it took so well that the word "fermentim" was inserted instead of "world" which completely carried the house. Unwilling to be outdone after the interesting critic's report of Mr. Geo. Gross, the ladies sang "Beneath the Sheltering Palm." Every lady sang a stanza and the ladies chorus supported the leading soprano. One of the quiet and spontaneous smile-bringing scenes was the toasts of the ladies and gentlemen who were assigned impromptu. Other songs sang and interspersed with speeches, toasts and verses were: "Where I Wore a Tulip," "There's a Hole," "I Love the Ladies," "Everybody Rag With Me," "Chinatown," "Stein Song," "By the Sea," and "Tipperary." The officers of the club were Dr. T. E. McClain, Pres.; Chester Stell, Vice-Pres.; Eugene Carter, Secy.; Jno. W. Carrie, Jr., Treas.; and the members were Clark Craig, F. G. Turner, Thos. Edwards, Clarence Holmes, Victor Walker, Leonard Anderson, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Geo. Gross, N. J. Skillern, F. W. Dempsey, Jno. Short, Robt. Roy, F. D. Ratley, Jasper Williams and Wm. Stewart, the arrangement committee were Jno. W. Carrie, Jr., chairman, F. W. Dempsey, Robt. Roy, N. J. Skillerin and Wm. Stewart. Everyone smiled just as pleasant as ever before, notwithstanding the flaming letters were on the wall in blue and white "Dry Denver." Then Denver's select-elect colored 400 in the cold gray dawn of social revelry quietly departed to their respective homes, after spending one of the most enjoyable times of their lives. The Costumes. Mrs. Geo. Gross chose a rather dignified pearly satin gown trimmed with French lace, steel cut beads with pearls on a bodice of wine color. Her jewels were emeralds and diamonds and she carried American beauties. Old rose satin with Dutchess lace over skirt, trimmed in old rose velvet and rose buds, was the elegant dress selected by the blushing Mrs. Robert Roy. Her jewels were diamonds and her flowers, American beauty roses. Miss Golden M. Smith, one of Denver's most attractive and prepossessing blondes, wore a white broached satin with trimmings of iridescent net and Rhinestone Buckles, Rome style jewels and diamonds and flowers white roses. Mrs. Eugene A. Carter was regal in her neatly fitting, beautiful, fluffy-ruffle dancing frock of blue chiffon with cerise satin coat with iridescent bodice. Ruffles trimmed with iridescent beading. Ornaments, diamonds, roses. Mrs. Georgia E. Mason, the pleasing matron, wore white tulle over white charmeuse with pearl and maribou trimmings. Ornaments, diamonds, roses. Mrs. T. Edwards—vivid blue silk messaline over ornamental lace with the underskirt of crepe de chene and Juniper lace. Crystal trimings dotted the entire gown. Mrs. Fred Dempsey—A gown that reflected in every line the individuality, grace and charm of the wearer. It was of black pompadour silk, semiprincess, bodice and cascade drape of brussels net, studded with black and white rhinestones and sequens. Roses. Mrs. F. D. Ratley, in a becoming, artistically made gown combining midnight blue taffeta and spanish lace, looked stunning. Roses. Unmistakably the gown which dazzled the eye and gripped the attention of the men was the gown of opalescent lace draped with georgette crepe, wide girdle of crepe finish under the arms with leave of metallic, tissue, worn by the pleasing Mrs Clark Craig. Mrs. Jno. Carrie, Jr., as natural as comely, noted for her dignity and poise was radiant in a gown of burgundy shade, georgette satin bodice and pauper of heavy radium beaded net. Mme. N. J. Skillern, Denver's skilled modiste, was exceptionally handsome in a graphite gray morie, modifide princess bodice of parts of colored pet overlaid with crystal bands and white and gold motif of hand made roses joined the front and back draped with amber and pearl beads. Mrs. Clarence Holmes, whose sweet and gracious manner made everyone feel at home, wore a handsome silver gray gown with lace tunics. The bodice being of silver caught in the back by a handsome corsage of red flowers. Jewels, diamonds and pearls. Mrs. James Abernathy, vivacious and happy as usual and whose fascinating youthful appearance was entrancing, wore a delicate gown in bodice. With neither neck nor sleeves she was a beauty to behold. Mrs. Wm. Stewart, charming and exquisite, wore a gown of Marquisette with a corsage of pink satin and the new scarf drapery fell over the shoulders in opalescent folds. Mrs. Frank Turner wore one of the most gorgeous creations in black and white bodice of jet held to the shoulders by elaborate bands of blue iridescent, caught by heavy jet tassels. Her finished net brussels beautifully fell over a tunic of all jet. Jewels, diamonds. The stately figure and shapely lines of Mrs. T. E. McClain, the president's wife, were best shown in an evening gown of paleest blue chiffon, trimmed with iridescent. A drapery in old rose satin and gold made it a la French. Bodice finished with gold rose. She wore gold slippers. This annual social success was a memorable one to all present and it was with the greatest reluctance that the guests departed home in their waiting machines. STRUGGLES OF THE HAITIAN PEOPLE Thrilling Story of Long Fight Against Great Odds. TREACHERY OF THE FRENCH Chaplain Theophilus G. Steward's New Volume on Uprising in Santo Domingo Describes Bravery of Former Slaves and How They Finally Won Their Freedom. BY JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." Chaplain Theophilus G. Steward, professor of history at Wilberforce university, writes entertainingly in his book entitled "The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), or Side Lights on the French Revolution." This book contains a thrilling description of that unique struggle by which a handful of slaves in Santo Domingo transformed themselves into free men and created the republic of Haiti. It details the life of that remarkable genius Toussaint L'Ouverture. It shows many illustrious men and martyrs to the cause of liberty. It shows a determined people fighting against armies which disregard all laws of civilized warfare, tyrants who drown prisoners and devote women and children to the murderous fangs of famished bloodhounds. It shows a humane Toussaint L'Ouverture captured through treachery. It finally shows an avenging Dessalines, equal to all atrocities and declaring, "What to me is the opinion of posterity so I save my country." I have just finished reading this book, and I cannot find words sufficiently strong in which to commend it. Dr. Steward in writing it has rendered a distinct service to the race and has given us a history of Haiti to date which will be a valuable book of reference to the student and researcher. The Army and Navy Register says of it, "No more interesting book has been written than this of Chaplain Steward on the revolution which converted the colony of Santo Domingo into the republic of Haiti, described by the author as one of the most interesting movements of modern times." Chaplain Steward has consulted numerous authorities of Haitian, American and French origin. The book is valuable as a contribution to history, and the text embodied in some fourteen chapters is accompanied by portraits of leaders and a useful map. Notable is the thrilling description of the unique struggle by which a handful of slaves created the republic of Haiti. It is quite evident that Chaplain Steward has devoted much time and thought, intelligent research and discriminating selection in the preparation of this history, which with all its veracity has the engaging quality of romance. Now that Haiti is again very much in the public eye and its future is hanging in the balance as a result of internal disorders, due very largely to outside interference, this book should hold some interest for those who would know the truth and especially what manner of man the Haitian is. He has been maligned and misrepresented for many years by white writers who have visited his country, accepted his hospitality and preferred to distort the truth about him. Dr. Steward, looking at him through the eyes of a Negro, paints him as he is, faults and all, and reveals him to us in his true character—that of a man who is neither worse nor better than the average of humankind. I hope that it will find a place in the libraries of every home among our people who would know something of this struggling little republic and of the heroic efforts of the men who made it possible. 31st Annual CHALLENGE SALE THE WORLD'S GREATEST MERCHANDISING EVENT Low prices that smash all past records for value-giving, and bargains that are beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most wonderful ever offered.
