Denver Star

The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The independent, have been merged into The Denver Star TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 120 to Congress by the President during the same week that announcement is made of the lynching of 69 men and women in the South during the year, 1915. Not a word of protest issues from the White House in condemnation of this terrible lawlessness. A special message from the President would center attention upon this deplorable practice and if the President could see his way clear that "indemnities" were paid the victims of lynch law in this country, the practice would cease.

PRESIDENT ASKS CONGRESS TO DONATE THOUSANDS To Foreign Mob Victims as "Act of Grace." What About 69 American Citizens Lynched Last Year? Washington, D. C.—President Wilson continues to grieve the colored citizenship of the United States by his very queer attitude in all matters affecting them. He recently served notice on Bishop in the District of Columbia, a place which has been held by colored men from time immemorial. A vacancy has existed for eighteen months or more and the belated announcement is just made that the position is not to be given to a colored man. During this same week he congratulates Major R. R. Moton upon succeeding to the Principalship of Tuskegee Institute, while ignoring altogether the death of the man whom Major Moton is to succeed. He now follows this up by a special message to Congress advocating an appropriation of $41,030 indemnity to Greece Austria Hungary and Turkey on account of injuries done to subjects of these countries, respectively, by mob violence riots on February 21, 1909, at South Omaha, Neb., when Edward Lowrey, a policeman was shot by John Massourides a Greek subject whom the officer had arrested. The request is made of Congress "as an act of grace and without reference to the liability of the United States." This special messages sent Detroit Protests. Detroit Protests. Cuts Birth of a Nation-Allows play after 4 eliminations. Greed for gold vs. Manhood. Colorado Springs and Pueblo get busy. To the Editor:—Despite the protests of the Detroit Ministerial Alliance, the Civic League, the 20th Century Ladies Club, the W. C. T. U., and the Labor Commissioner, representing the Sons of Union Veterans, which organizations reflect the best and most advanced citizenship of Detroit, coupled with the vigorous protests of the entire colored population; Thomas Dixon's "Birth of a Nation" has been permitted by the city officials to show their morally questionable films at the Detroit opera house. No one attending doubts but that this show is a stab in the dark at the manhood and womanhood of the Negro race, judging them now by what happened over fifty years ago, with the admitted purpose of discrediting them in America, and to drive them back to Africa, (an impossible physical task because of our birthrate), where the same problems because of the selfish greed of European nations are present and equally as great and irritating. To form judgment with only one side of the case presented would be a miscarriage of justice, hence, I am quite sure that the Denver Star will permit one small voice of the Negro to speak through its columns in defense of his people. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JAN. 29, 1916 for this play? wherein its lesson taught that is not narrow, not provincial, not destructive? How does it fit and square with the 1916 ideals of universal brotherhood and world-wide peace? Admitted, where the pictures follow the inventive genius of the moving picture expert, Griffith, they are resplendent in spectacular effects and mass evolutions of men and are wonderful, but where the pictures follow the lines of Thomas Dixon they are degenerating, a shame upon humanity, and humiliating to intelligent people. The scenes are making the uninformed concerning the historic events of this dead and buried past of fifty years ago unfitted and unfit in mind and spirit for the ready reception of this 20th Century cosmopolitan era which now dawns upon the entire world, and following the present European war will be more and more gradually ushered into reality. The Negro race is the original stock human race of the world, from which all the other races have been evolved, just as the finer grades of kerosene, gasoline and glycerine have been refined and evolved from the original black crude oil of mother earth In America it carries within its ranks types and characteristics and possibilities of all the races. The harvest of the seeds sown by the ancestors of Thomas Dixon and his jealous (now of race purity diciples in the enforced concubinage of slavery days, and evidenced even to this day by the frequent raids of Detroit police into the Negro tenderloin district and the catches they find there should not be charged to the progressive Negro of today, and make him responsible because the idle observer is not able to distinguish readily where one race leaves off and the other begins, when they are together on the street or out at public places. Shakespeare says "Conscience makes cowards of us all." The workings of the mind makes one see daggers in men's smiles, and every little noise appals us. It is better to approach this problem in the spirit of a bigger and better Detroit, a leading State of Michigan, a greater America of homogenous growth and up lift, and a world of christian brothers. Experience though often bitter, is the best teacher in the world. Now, after two weeks exhibition of these films where from thousands upon thousands of people have experienced its many thrills, drank in and assimilated its propoganda of hate, having stirred in themselves the lowest animal passions of might, murder and mob rule, perhaps after all, these onlookers are better qualified to be competent judges of its morality, its constructive influence and value for present or future good. Seeds of distrust, suspicion and misunderstanding against the progressive Negro are being sown. The ignorant, wretched Negro servant, stagnant and satisfied, is enthroned; lauded and applauded by the audience; thus the co-relative, wicked suggestion is imparted that the Negro servant who is discontented with his miserable lot in life, and ventures out into the higher walks of industrial trades, commercial enterprises and the professions he is to be blocked and antagonized. This is the fountain-head of much of the unreasonable Negro prejudice, steadily increasing in America today. The Negro's unparalelled and remarkable progress up from stavcry in the short period of the past fifty years is the great lump in the throat of Thomas Dixon and his jealous diciples. As a critic of Dixon's philosophy, as a student of American history, and the economic present and future of this, our beloved native land, as a loyal son of one of the staunch defenders of our nation and flag once imperilled, and now again imperilled by enemies without, and enemies within, and the dangerous shoals of a clouded future, kindly tell one seeking truth and knowledge and reason wherein is the justification Let us always remember that no man, no race nor nation can ever rise to prosperity or greatness by holding their fellowman in the gutter The inflexible laws of God prevent this, because they themselves must stay in the gutter along with them in order to keep them there. From the time whence the memory of man runneth not to the contrary the great men of the world have been the men who have uplifted their fellowman, of whom the FIVE CENTS A COPY. greatest Michigan example is our own distinguished "made in Detroit" Henry Ford. "The endless chains of justice bind Oppressor with oppressed. And close as sin and suffering joined We march to fate abreast." ALBERT F. Ross, Mich. U. Law '17. Georgia Colored Man Loses in High Court The supreme court last Monday dismissed for want of jurisdiction the appeal of Robert Kitchens, colored, from the action of the federal court of the southern district of Georgia in refusing to hold invalid his conviction and sentence to death for the murder of a white man named Brantley. Attorney Lewis is Dominating Mohr Case William H. Lewis, the colored attorney in the Mohr case, is the dominating figure of the array of counsel. Physically and otherwise he towers above the others, and his quickness of perception, his brilliant cross-examinations, and his alertness, logic, politeness and keen sense of humor stamp him at once as an exceptional man. He is regarded as one of the ablest lawyers of Boston. When Mr. Lewis was a freshman at Amherst in '92, Judge Stearns, the presiding judge at this trial, was a senior. Lewis played center on the Harvard football team in '93, was an assistant United Stated attorney-general at Washington under Taft, an assistant United States attorney at Boston appointed by Roosevelt, and was elected to the Massachusetts legislature. In Lewis' law class at Harvard was Attorney-General Herbert A. Rice, who is head of the prosecution's legal staff. Detroit Cclor Line pset For the first time in the history of courts of Wayne county, a colored man has secured substantial justice in an action to entorce the "Equal Rights" Statute in this State. Friday last a Circuit Court jury in Judge Barton's court rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Clyde B. Hays vs. Albert Day for $125 damages. The 3rd day of July last Mr. Hayes, in company with another gentleman, who was his guest, and a white man, went into the restaurant operated by Mr. Day for dinner. After being ignored by the waiters for some time, Mr. Hays was told by the proprietor, defendant, that he did not serve colored people in his restaurant, whereupon Mr. Hayes commenced suit through his attorney.

His Success as Minister and Business Man Noted. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES Presiding Elder of the Port Gibson (Miss.) District of the A. M. E. Church Has Made Good In Many Positions of Great Responsibility. Stands on His Merit. Jackson, Miss.—The Rev. D. H. Butler, D. D., one of the presiding elders of the Mississippi conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, is a native of Adams county, this state. Dr. Butler is a former president of Campbell college, in this city, which position he held for seven years. He was also president of Paul Quinn college, at Waco, Tex., for two years. He has served as the minister of some of the largest and most influential churches of the A. M. E. denomination in the south. Dr. Butler's rise from a country schoolboy to one of the leading ministers and business men of the race in this part of the south has been remarkable. After finishing the public school course he entered Jackson college, where he completed the course of study in 1889. Having been convinced REV. D. H. BUTLER, D. D. of his call to the gospel ministry, he matriculated at Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga., from which he was graduated in 1896. During his course of study at Gammon Dr. Butler became a local minister and was admitted into the A. M. E. conference by the late Bishop Abraham Grant in 1894. He was afterward ordained a deacon, and in November, 1896, the late Bishop Henry M. Turner ordained Dr. Butler to the elderhood at Cedartown, Ga. But before engaging actively in the ministry, however, he engaged in educational work and served as principal of three schools at various times in his native state. As minister in charge of churches in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia he became very popular with the masses, which gave him the opportunity of knowing the needs of our people along all lines. He showed his Christianity and race pride also by doing what he could to supply the needs and advise as to the best method of overcoming difficulties of the kind peculiar to the people of the rural districts. Bishop Evans Tyree made no mistake when he appointed Dr. Butler to the presidency of Campbell college, in this city. His administration was one of wise management and economy. The institution soon took on new life and gained many new friends under his regime. Dr. Butler has served as a trustee of Payne university, at Selma, Ala.; Ward academy, Natchez, Miss.; Wilberforce university, Wilberforce, O.; Campbell college, in this city, and Morris-Brown college, Atlanta, Ga.

Davis Writes Thrilling Poem in Memory of Dr. Washington. The "Battle Hymn of the Negro" was written by William H. Davis of Washington and is dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. Mr. Davis is the official stenographer for the National Negro Business league. In which position n has rendered valuable service. The "Battle Hymn of the Negro" is to be sung to the tune of Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The hymn: Our eyes have seen the glory of a Booker Washington. He has fought a swordless battle for the cause of right and won. He has made his race respected, though his life on earth is done. His truth is marching on! CHORUS. Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! "Our Booker Washington." We have seen him in the watchfires of our race's bitter woes. Beating down the flames of prejudice and making friends of foes. We have enabled peaceful pleadings, and our racial progress shows The work of Washington. We have heard his loving gospel urging "Brotherhood of Men." "Mutual helpfulness" his doctrine, preached by action, tongue and pen. Whites should live together—not as enemies, but friends. For God is marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet that would never call retreat. Prove yourselves useful Americans and never fear defeat. Oh, he swift our souls to answer, make the victory complete Of Booker Washington. In the hills of "old Virginia" he was born in poverty. With ambition in his bosom, even "up from slavery." As he died to left men higher, teach our children to see The truths of Washington! STATE TEACHERS TO MEET.

What is the difference between a man who poses for such a picture as the "Birth of a Nation" and a man who sells out his race for a job or money? Both are traitors to the race, are they not? Is not there only one way to be fair and square, and that is to do the right thing. When white people want to accomplish anything they organize and then make their wants known thru the organization. Some politicians cater to organizations, while other politicians buck and ignore both organizations and their selections. What would you say of a politician who knew that you and your organizations had worked and toiled that he and his friends might get fat plums, and then about a year and a half after election, appoint a Negro who neither worked for his job nor for the party, but was identified against it, and who was not the selection of an organized body nor belonged to any—what, we say, would you think of a politician who would thus ignore the choices of the organized bodies, and thus force this Negro upon you, down your throat, as your representative? Take him or take nothing, is the defy! No real men or race of people ever gain rights, respect or honorable position that way. Will you stand for it? Don't you think you ought to let the politicians know and thoroughly understand that you will recognize men who recognize you? When you see many men who live on politics or who traffic in the misfortunes of a race, bind themselves together, the honest, respectable people or voters had better sit up and take notice. Men whose ways are dark hate to have the light turned upon them and their shady actions. Don't you think that you ought to let it be thoroughly known and appreciated that if any state official wanted to make a personal appointment of a Negro who has not taken the state civil service examination for a job, that he can do it, but that it must not be charged up against the Negro race, as their appointment and selection, especially when every consideration of the Negroes' selections has been, up to that time, ignored and even treated slightly? Now let this appointee and his friends proceed to pull the wool over the eyes of the Negroes. Patfently watch and wait. Sooner or later he must come to you. WHOM WILL YE SERVE? If a man who has had a chance to do the right thing for the race gets with his few selected friends and divides the money up, sells out the race and then poses as your leader, when in fact he is only a menial servant, would you consider him a safe man to follow? There was $150 received last fall by two certain politicians from the County Central Committee. What became of this money? Was there ever a report made? If so, do you believe that one or both of these men gave anything in addition to the $150 they received? Think of a man working for wages and then making a donation to the Republican party! These same men are trying to do the same thing again. We favor a square deal, out and out, and the Star does not approve of ANY SET OF PERSONS getting money and dividing it among themselves. If the money is for workers, hire workers; if it is for meetings, have legitimate meetings and not ice cream frosts. Some political grafters look for politics regularly to give them money. No wonder Nisbet said he could take $100 and buy off every Negro in Denver. People of Denver, we are in earnest; we want to see honorable men and women take the lead for our welfare. In the past nothing but dishonest politicians have handled the money given for legitimate purposes of the campaign. We believe that the same business system should be used in politics as is used in business. Cannot some honorable men in Denver agree on a plan and then work out that plan for the benefit of the race? If so, why not? We need good strong men in our front ranks. Who will volunteer? STOCKER IS STAR'S CHOICE. Every man has his right to think as he pleases. Every man ought to think for himself one way or the other. So the Star has picked Allisor Stocker as the best party man for governor. Why?

Carlson has "forgotten too soon" the friends that helped him. He has ignored organized bodies of Negroes and preferred to have the support of a man and of men who did nothing to elect him. He believes in messengerships only for Negroes, and so we part friends. Allison Stocker believes in clerkships for Negroes. His past record shows what he will do when he can. He has championed our cause whenever the opportunity presented itself. Why so soon? We are not like some others, working in the background, and if one fails, come out strong for the victor. We are honest and pick our man; if he wins, we win; if he loses, we lose. He is the best business man and lives in Denver. Something Not Printed in Books. Hon. Albert Talmon Morgan, veteran of the Civil war, lawyer, one time state Senator (Mississippi), author of "The Picket Line of Freedom" (1884), "On Our Way to the Orient" and other financial literature (1907 to 1913), will present the other side (the historical side) of The Clansman's story, illustrated in the movie called "The Birth of a Nation" from the viewpoint of an eye witness and actual participant in the "Reconstruction Drama" intended to preserve for posterity the fruits of the war. UNCLE ABE'S POLITICAL MUT TERINGS. Read and Think on These Things. What do you think of the efforts of a few job holders and job seekers organizing an "assistant county central committee"? Such an organization would have no authority; it is only a scheme of their bosses. Ha! Ha! Ha! Because a colored man was called in to tell the county chairman how to spend a little money among colored voters last fall, that man styles himself as "assistant county chairman for Negroes." Where is the $150.00 he got, and with whom did he spend it? You know county chairmen are competent, intelligent men. The sort of a man who should lead the colored voters in the coming and all other political campaigns, is one who has experience and ability, one who knows the needs of the race, one who holds no job and who wants no job. That sort of a man will bring respect and recognition to the colored voters. Job holders and job seekers are regarded as political beggars with hats in hand, asking—yes, begging—for favors only for themselves. Let us begin now to rid ourselves, colored voters, of the political beggars who have been cringing and crawling in the political dust for years, to our disgust. The white men think we are a cheap lot of voters who can be thus easily influenced by their messengers. All a white man has to do is to appoint one or two messengers from among the colored voters, and at once those messengers assume the burden of the Republican party and undertake to boss and to direct the colored voters. We want the messengers and their masters to know that it can't be done. Messengers are messengers and no more than that to colored voters. They can't corall us or lead us to vote for any man, and the sooner they are called off, the better it will be for those who are seeking consideration from the colored voters—for the colored voters are tired of being bargained off at each recurring election in order that the same colored men may hold a job. We want the jobs to pass around to others who are more deserving, men who have never had anything but who vote the Republican can ticket regularly. First aid class meets every Monday evening from 9:00 to 9:45, under direction of Dr. Crump. Bible class every Thursday evening from 7 to 8. Miss Scott of the Central Association instructs.

The indoor track meet given by the Recreation committee, under the management of Miss Myrtle Francis last Wednesday evening at the club rooms, was quite a success and was enjoyed by all. The high jump was perhaps the funniest of all. It was a string tied across the room, from which doughnuts were suspended. The contestants had to jump and try to take a bite out of one. Other events were hurdle, relay, marathon, shot put, 220-yard dash and 5-yard dash. Prizes were awarded the winner of each event. Refreshments were served. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Registration cards are being sent out to fifty senior members of the Young Men's Christian Association for enrollment in the new Bible Study courses which are to be opened on February 8th. It is the intention of the committee to secure the enrollment of at least one-half of the senior membership in some sort of Bible study work, and they are working hard towards that end. A list of very attractive courses are being offered and the men are being urged to attend. The Bible work among the boys is already organized. The boys' meeting last Sunday afternoon at two o'clock had an attendance of 24. Ferdinand Williams was chief usher. Robert Branford was the honor boy, having brought another boy with him. Mr. Allen from the Central Association asked them to show him how much scripture they knew. Some recited verses, while others recited entire passages and short psalms. The men's meeting which was held at four o'clock was addressed by Rev. F. T. Bayley, of the Plymouth Congregational church. He deferred his address on "A Man's Chance" for another time and spoke on "What Jesus Is to the Average Man." Next Sunday afternoon a public meeting of the Association will be held at the Zion Baptist church. Dean H. Martyn Hart of St. John's Cathedral will be the speaker. The meeting will begin at three o'clock and the entire public is invited to attend. Quite a number attended the "Get-Together" social of the seniors on Tuesday evening. Mrs. Lightner, Mrs. Parks and Mrs. Sprague supervised the refreshments. Mr. Mason carried away the checker honors having defeated Mr. Wilson, Mr. J. C. Porter and other lesser lights VICTOR AND CRIPPLE CREEK NEW8. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Cotwell entertained at a delightful evening at their beautiful home on South Second St., Victor, on Jan. 10.

Oysters, Salt Smoked, Dried and Canned Fish. Poultry and Game of all Kinds WILLIAM N. PAGE DEAD. Pittsburgh Courier's Business Manager Was Active In Race Advancement. The late William N. Page, business manager of the Pittsburgh Courier, was a man of fine character and sterling worth. He devoted his best energies to the Courier and was singularly untiring in his efforts to make the Courier grow along all lines. Mr. Page died in Washington on Tuesday, Jan. 4. The National Negro Press association extends to the Courier staff its deepest sympathy in the loss that paper sustains in the passing of its beloved, capable and faithful manager. The officials of the Pittsburgh Courier Publishing company pay the following tribute to Mr. Page: "To a man who has lived a life of usefulness not only to his immediate family, but also to the community of which he formed a part, even in the last hours there must be a quickened pulse for the fact that he lived not in vain. Each one of us in life is given an opportunity to brighten this world in our passage, each of us has the opportunity to perform deeds of kindness and of love to some other mortal, and, if we but avail ourselves of the opportunities, who can describe the reward which shall be ours? "In the death of William N. Page this community has sustained a loss which at this moment may not be fully appreciated or understood. As a man he was filled with dynamic power, which enabled him to pursue its conclusion every possible incident which had as its purpose and its culmination the advancement, the achievement, of the race to which he belonged. He possessed a peculiar power for concentration of forces and ever gathered around him men willing to do their part in the achievement of better conditions for his people. "His term of life has been shortened by the hand of that invisible One who rules the universe and guides the destinies of man. His example will live on even though cold in death he lies to mingle with the clay from which he sprang, and to we who remain, we who knew him best, there has come a loss not soon to be overcome and an absence which, too, only time can solve. And to his family, even though their loss be great, there must come the balm of consolation through the realization that he lived for them, with them and by them." CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE BOOKED TO PLAY AT HAMPTON Concert Planned In Aid of the Hackley Vocal Institute. Hampton, Va. — Clarence Cameron White, the well known violin soloist of Boston, who received his early training under the best teachers in America and later studied under M. Zacharewitsch, the famous Russian, is scheduled to give a recital at the Hampton institute in this town on Friday evening, Jan. 28, for the benefit of the Hackley Normal Vocal institute of Chicago. This gifted artist "unites with an admirable technique a beautiful tone remarkable for its breadth, fire and delicacy of expression. His personality is pleasing too. His playing is devoid of mannerisms and reveals keen intelligence and a fine conception of the composer's thought," so say his critics. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton institute and director of the Hampton Choral union, is responsible for securing the services of this concert violinist, whose work in the past has given the public so much satisfaction and keen enjoyment. BASKETBALL AT HAMPTON. Team Defeats Howard University in Well Played Game. Howard university's basketball quintet met with another defeat at the January meet in the Hampton institute gymnasium at the hands of the Hampton basketball tossers in a game filled with sensational passing and shooting. Time after time the house was brought to its feet by the wonderful team work exhibited by both teams. Had the shooting ability of the Howard team been equal to its exceptional passing a different story could be written. By marvelous team work the ball was carried to the basket, only to be missed. The playing of Hampton's team was very good, both on the defensive and offensive work, and showed a superiority after the first few minutes of play. While the game was not as exciting as some of the former games, it was, from the spectator's point of view, interesting throughout. The referee was M. P. Robinson; timekeepers, Stoney and Miller; scorer, Harvey; time of halves, 20 minutes; score—Hampton, 46; Howard, 12. Miss Ovington Succeeds Miss Nerney. Miss Mary White Ovington, the well known social service leader in Brooklyn, has been appointed secretary for the time being of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Miss Ovington succeeds Miss May Childs Nerney, who resigned the position at the January meeting of the association to enter another line of work. Miss Nerney had been secretary for three years and a half, during which time she rendered valuable service to the organization. She knew the work thoroughly, and it was with regret that the association accepted her resignation. However, on account of Miss Ovington's deep interest in the association, coupled with her knowledge of its aims and needs, the work will not suffer any setback. Miss Ovington is one of the vice presidents of the association. What Shall I Do to Have Long, Fluffy Hair?

She came twice, buying gum the last time, while officers were on the outside watching. She went out of the store and when a block from the store, the officers searched her muff and found a half pint bottle of whiskey upon her. She declared she purchased the whiskey at the Elite drug store, while two men who happened to be in the store at the time denied that she purchased anything but gum in the store. Drs. Caney, Lee and Harris put in the scale of justice their unsullied reputation as thoroughly honest business men for ten years and the jury, being out only a few minutes, returned a verdict of "not guilty." This is not the only case. Recently a colored doctor had an experience with a dope flend who "threw a fit" and was violent and the doctor administered morphine to quiet her and he was immediately arrested and fined. All kinds of tactics have been used against this drug store. Since this trouble, prominent white and black men have come forward and offered our colored business men every assistance possible, declaring they believed absolutely in their innocence. The doctors claim that they are doing more business now than ever. Lawyer Ross argued the case before the jury, showing the absurdity of a prominent business man selling whiskey in an open store, without their labels, before two men and to a comparative stranger. The reputation of every Negro business man was involved in this case and the star is glad of the victory. THE STAR IS THE ONLY NEGRO REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN COLORADO.

[Phone Main 7702] LOFTY TRIBUTES PAID WASHINGTON National Memorial Service Held For Late Educator. SETH LOW CHIEF SPEAKER Mammoth Throng Assembles at Metropolitan Church, In Washington, to Honor Memory of Tukegee Institute's Founder—Cabinet Officials Also Attend Ceremonies. Washington. — The nation's capital has joined with the millions of Americans in paying tribute to the memory of Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and builder of Tukegee institute. A tremendous outpouring of men and women of both races which packed spacious Metropolitan A. M. E. church to the doors at the recent national memorial meeting, held as a mark of respect to the lofty character and constructive labors of the remarkable educator and masterly man of affairs, who passed away at his southern home on the 14th of November, 1915. The meeting was held in the name of the 10,000,000 Negroes under the stars and stripes, the local arrangements being in the hands of a citizens' committee, headed by Henry Lassiter as chairman, R. W. Thompson as secretary and Daniel Freeman as treasurer. For more than two hours, with the rapt attention of the immense crowd, speakers of national fame extolled the virtues of the Negro's greatest educator and leader and commended in unstinted terms the work which he set in motion and carried on with such signal benefit not only to the people of his own race, but for the good of the nation and for the general uplift of mankind. All agreed that Booker T. Washington had practically revolutionized educational standards by his aggressive insistence that it is what a man does rather than what he knows that weighs most heavily in the scale of human advancement. It was the consensus of opinion that the work of industrial training and character building for the Negro youth launched at Tuskegee institute more than three decades ago must go on and that its permanency must be secured by the active efforts of the American people to raise an endowment fund to guarantee the legitimate running expenses of the race's greatest civic center. The principal address of the occasion was delivered by the Hon. Seth Low, former mayor of New York city and chairman of the board of trustees of Tuskegee institute. He was introduced in a happy fashion by Mr. Lassiter, the presiding officer, following the latter's opening statement touching the cause that brought together the host of friends and admirers of the deceased teacher and philosopher. Mr. Low said in opening his intensely practical and helpful address: "I wish that every Negro in the United States—for that matter, I wish every white man in the United States—could see Tuskegee institute in Alabama." For the benefit of those of either race who have not been there the speaker then gave a luminous description of the wonderful community, built up in what had been almost a waste place in the heart of the southland. He told in graphic language of the broad scope of the training of the head, hand and heart that was offered there and how efficiently the correlation of academic, manual and moral elements of education are being carried on in the school and its environs. Tuskegee institute impressed him as a miniature city, sufficient unto itself, where every man, woman and child was a worker and an influence for the common good. He pointed out a number of the splendid buildings that had been planned by a Negro architect and erected entirely by student labor. He cited Tompkins hall, where 1,600 or 1,800 persons are accommodated at one time at the meal hour, and then told of the John A. Andrew Memorial hospital. "This structure," said Mr. Low, "is a concrete example of the kind of instruction the colored boys get at Tuskegee institute. The building was planned by Mr. Taylor, head of the industrial side of the school. "The boys cut down the trees in the forest, hauled the logs to the sawmill, cut out their own timber; they made the bricks and put up the building, doing all of the brickwork, all of the carpenter work, installed the plumbing, installed the electric lights; they roofed it, and when it was done it was as complete a hospital as you will find anywhere, north or south. Of course there are hospitals larger, but none better. The branches of industry taught at Tuskegee are too numerous to be mentioned here, but they comprise everything that enters into the daily life of a people, and the school is training the Negro youth to do the things the world wants done, and to do them in the best possible manner. "The young men and young women who go away from Tuskegee with various training, and after having learned some useful trade by the time they have finished their course, have caught and have had drilled into them that magnificent spirit of service, and they go out into the world not merely to earn their own living, but they go out from that institution charged with the feeling that they have got to make some definite gift, some definite contribution in the service and uplift of their race, and in whatever communities they go they lift up the moral and industrial tone and the standard of efficiency of the little communities in which they cast their lot." Speaking of the fact that members of the board of trustees of the institute frequently travel a thousand or more miles to attend the meetings of the board, Mr. Low said: "Booker Washington has made us feel that in serving Tuskegee institute we are not simply serving the Negro race, we are not simply serving the American people or any one country in particular, but he has made us feel that we are serving mankind. That was the spirit with which Booker T. Washington was able to imbue other men, and that was the spirit which guided him throughout all of his illustrious career." Following Mr. Low, the Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the United States treasury, was introduced and paid a brief but earnest and pointed tribute to the worth and work of the deceased educator. He said, in part: "Mr. Chairman, I am very glad indeed to have this opportunity to say to the colored race that you have every reason to meet here and do honor to that great man of your race who is no more. While he does not live in this sphere any more physically, he lives here spiritually, for he lives in your hearts as well as in the hearts of the white people of this country, and he will always be respected and honored as one of the greatest products of American soil." The Hon. Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, then spoke as follows: "I had known Booker Washington for twenty and more years, and I think that one of your speakers has given us the secret of his wonderful influence when he tells you he was the 'interpreter' between the races and taught them to know and believe in each other. And when that lesson shall have permeated through the minds of both races the race problem will no longer trouble us. I live in a community in which there are two large schools for the education of your race, and my home is just a stone's throw from the institution supported by the Baptist church. Indeed, I am, as they say, their 'highest neighbor.' With the hundreds of students there, it is a testimonial to your race to say that they help to maintain a splendid community by their conduct and by their services. When they go to their homes they are not only a blessing to their homes, but to their states." Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court of the District of Columbia, Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the college of arts and sciences of Howard university; Former Commissioner of the District Henry B. F. Macfarland, Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman, president of Howard university, of which Dr. Washington was a trustee; Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School For Women and Girls at Lincoln Heights, D. C., and Mrs. R. F. Jones, representing the local alumni of Tuskegee institute, spoke in turn, emphasizing with rare fidelity the manifold phases of the character, work and marvelous achievements of the great American the people had come to honor. In a future report it is hoped to speak more in detail of the eloquent tributes that fell from the inspired lips of these eminent men and women. The report of the committee on resolutions was read by Ferdinand D. Lee, chairman, and was unanimously adopted. The report comprised a preamble setting forth the good that had been accomplished by the activities of Dr. Washington and indorsed, among other things, the idea of establishing a national Booker T. Washington day, to be observed annually by the colored people of the country, and urging the prompt raising of the memorial fund of $250,000 for the support of the work at Tuskegee institute. The committee was made up of Mr. Lee, Dr. W. H. Davis, W. H. Scott, T. J. Galloway, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. Ellas G. Evans, Edward L. Scott and Professor Kelly Miller. Secretary R. W. Thompson read a number of letters from prominent men throughout the country who had been invited to be present, but sent messages of regret that they were prevented by other engagements from accepting the committee's invitation. Among those regretting their enforced absence were former Presidents of the United States William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Carnegie, John Wanamaker, Supreme Court Justices Charles E. Hughes and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Secretary of Agriculture D. F. Houston, Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson, Senator Boles Penrose and others. The memorial committee, representing every phase of activity among the colored citizens of the nation's capital and the states of the Union, was made up of the following: Henry Lassiter, chairman; R. W. Thompson, secretary; Daniel Freeman, treasurer; Dr. W. H. Davis, stenographic reporter. On reception—W. J. Singleton, chairman; Dr. S. W. Thompson, A. H. Glenn, M. S. Koonce, Howard A. Thomas, Leutenant Colonel Arthur Brooks, Arthur C. Newman. On resolutions—F. D. Lee, chairman; Dr. A. M. Curtis, Dr. W. H. Davis and Dr. G. W. Cabaniss. Progress Noted at New Hope Church. The New Hope Baptist church, Nashville. Tenn., Rev. J. C. Harding minister, held special exercises on Sunday. Jan. 16, at which the new furniture for the church was dedicated. The pulpit stand, communion table, pews and chairs were made by the National Baptist Church Supply company of the same city.

INCREASE IN OWNERSHIP the Majority. By W. ANTHONY AERY. ‘There is now a vast number of col- ored farmers in the south, working millions and millions of acres rich in possibilities, and yet only a small frac- tion of this land is rated as improved land. According to the census of 1910, there were in the south 890,141 colored farmers (287 per cent of the total number of farmers) working 42,600,- 117 acres (12 per cent of the total farm acreage), of which 27,785,743 acres (or 18.4 per cent) were reported as im- proved land. Colored farmers control nearly a bil- Hon dollars’ worth of land and build- ings in the south, and still they control only one-eighth of the land and build- ings on all the farms in the south. The value of the land and bulldings under the control of all the colored farmers was given at $00,132,334 (12.2 per cent of the total value of Jand and buildings for all farms tn the south) as against $380,290,963 (11.6 per cent) for 1900. ‘That the Negro farmer ts going for- ward by leaps and bounds in the pos- session and control of property, how- ever, is clearly shown by the census figures of 1900 and 1910. Even where the Negro has many disadvantages to face he is making progress. ‘The 218467 colored farm owners in 1910 held land and buildings valued at $272,002.238 (4.8 per cent) as against $106,619,228 (3.7 per cent) in 1900. The owners were distributed as follows: South Atlantic states, 101,961; east south central, 58.737; west south cen- tral, 57,709. As long as the colored tenant farm- ers, however, outnumber the colored farm owners three to one and as long as the tenant farmers have under their control a proportional amount of land and buildings which they may use wisely and well or utterly abuse through sheer ignorance the tenant problem and, indeed, the whole land problem for the white south will be s pressing and serious one. * ‘The 670,474 colored tenant farmers in 1910 tilled 26,567,802 acres, of which 20,006,875 were reported as improved land. These tenants were using land and buildings valued at $616,768,147 (84 per cent) as against $268,177.330 (82 per cent) in 1900. These colored tenants were distributed as follows: South Atlantic states, 253,181; east south central, 266.232; west south cen- tral, 151,061 If the Negro tenant ts not taught how to treat fhe Iand properly and in- crease his earning power the whole south will suffer a tremendous econom- Ic loss. When more than 75 per cent of the Negro farmers are tenants there is important work still to be done along agricultural lines through the public schools, the private institutions, the state departments of agriculture and the press to help the tenants raise themselves into the class of owners. This improvement for many, many white farmers has already come about. If the south is to make the progress It should there ate still too many white tenants as compared with white farm owners. One of the most hopeful signs of Progress, however, is the percentile in- crease in Negro farmers, the amount of improved Iand held by them and the value of land and buildings they con- trol, In the south, according to the census of 1910, 24.5 per cent of the colored farmers were owners. 0.1 per cent managers and 75.3 per cent ten ants, For 1900 the figures were 25.2, 02 and 74.6 respectively. In 1910 the white farmers of the south were dis- tributed as follows: Owners, 00.1 per cent; managers. 0.7; tenants, 39.2. For 1900 the figures were 63 per cent, 0.9 and 36.1 respectively. ‘The total number of Negro farm op- erators in the south in 1910 was 890, 837, and in 1900 1t was 732.202, From 1900 to 1910 the percentages of In: crease in the south were: Total white farmers, 17.4; colored farmers, 20.2; white farm owners. 12; colored, 17; white tenants. 27.6; colored, 21.4; im- proved land in farms, white, 19.5; col- ored. 19.5; improved land in farme owned by white farmers, 13.8; colored, 25; improved land in farms of white tenants, 84.6; colored. 17.8. In Virginia, according to the census of 1910, there were 134,155 native white farmers who had 17,257,416 acres of land In farms and 48,114 Ne- groes and other nonwhite farmers who had 2.238.220 acres of land in farms. There were 101,436 (74.6 per cent) farms operated by white owners and 82.228 (67 per cent) farms operated by colored owners. The value of land and buildings of all the white farmers was $486.833,558 and that of all the colored farmers $45,224,501. The white farm owners had land and buildings valued TEN VIRGINS TABERNACLE No. 568 WILL GIVE A GRAND Leap Year Entertainment —_47—___. 2711 Welton Street Monday Night, Feb. 7th PROGRAMME 1 Instrumental Solo, : : Miss Darliene Reese 2.

Chicago.—A decision rendered in the courts of this city the second week iu January by Judge Smith @.stuined the ‘demurrer of Attorneys Walter M. Farmer of this city and Willlam Harri- son of Oklahoma City, recognizing the National Baptist convention, of which the Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D.. of Vicks- ‘burg, Miss. was elected president. It will be remembered that during the ‘month of September, 1915, the Baptists held a convention tn this city and di- ‘vided into two parts over a charter ‘got out by seven men. “ A majority of 150 or more votes in the convention showed thit the ‘strength of the convention was astaiust the charter, whereupon the lev. Dr. E. C. Morris. president, and his follow- ers left the chair, and the convention immediately elected Dr. E. P. Jones and an entirely new set of officers The incorporated convention led by Dr. Morris got out an injunction to prevent the Jones people from using the naine National Baptist convention. The case bas been hanging fire for some time. The decision by the court is farreaching, as it tears down and virtually eliminates the incorporated faction as a national body. The con- test was sharp and prolonged. Able counsel represented both sides. but in the demurrer offered by the attorneys for the Jones faction every contention made and the five points of law pre- sented were upheld. President Jones was reached by wire in Philadelphia and expressed himself as being well pleased. declaring that he _knew the will of the majority of the Baptists would be sustained. it is said that this decision puts the incorporated faction to rout It is learned that President Jones will call a meeting of his advisers, consisting of the cbair men and the secretaries of the rarious boards, together with the elective eifi cers, to meet in Nashville stun erty date | “General, shall we eburze the bat | tery?” “Yes: if there |s an electrician among | you do seat once” Pittshursh Pree, e Bigger, Better ——————————— IN ORDER To meet the demands of our patrons, we are pleased to announce that this office has recently installed one of the largest and best job presses in the city.
