Should she enter, the victory is the Allies'; and if she stays out, Persia's aid to Turkey and Germany will carry the day. Whichever way it goes, the dark face holds the power in balance. It carries one back to the days of the Civil War in the United States, when the black man was called, and turned what seemed sure defeat for the Union troops into victory. Detroit, Mich. --- Refused service in a restaurant conducted by Albert Day, Clyde B. Hayes was awarded a verdict for $125 against Day. Hayes was in company with a friend, a white man, but was informed by Day that colored people could not be served in his restaurant. Mr. Hayes retained Francis H. Warren as his attorney and filed suit. A jury gave him the verdict. and this was the first time in Wayne County that a colored man has won a civil suit based on discrimination. Colored Girl is given Clerk's Job. Indianapolis, Ind. Miss Doneva W. Donnell, a young colored woman, has been appointed by County Treasurer Sourbier to a clerkship in his office. Miss Donnell has had special training in public accounting, is an expert stenographer, and has had extensive experience in newspaper work. She was bookkeeper for the Indianapolis Recorder. Her work in the treasurer's office will include the preparing of spring tax receipts, nearly 300,000 of which are to be made in triplicate. The passing away, January 18, 1916, of Richard W. Tompkins removes from the active sphere of life one whose identity with the city of Washington goes back for a period of over 70 years. The present generation has limited knowledge of the general usefulness of Richard W. Tompkins in this, the community where he devoted the best years of his young manhood in actively promoting the material and social life of the city he lived in and loved. He possessed an active and intelligent mind and applied it to this betterment and advancement of the colored people of Washington. On all occasions when the interest of his race could be advanced politically or otherwise, he never lagged but could always be found in the front rank battling for the right. Our public schools in their infancy found in in need of friends, no more valiant champion than R. W. Tompkins, who stood shoulder to shoulder with John F. Cook, Anthony Brown, Henry Johnson John H. Brooks and other good and true men, fighting for their autonomy. ABYSSINIA GETS IN EUROPEAN WAR. London, Eng.—Abyssinia may win the European war for the Allies! This little nation with its army of 200,000 well trained and well armed fighting men, can stop the German advance on the Suez canal and turn the tide for the British empire. Belgium saved the entente powers in the West, but Abyssinia may do more. She is now being relied upon to stem the tide of the Turco-Teutonic advance and save the Suez canal. The caucasian, the black and the yellow man will mix their blood in one of the greatest battles the world has ever known should this nation enter, as is hourly expected and the battle would prove the titanic and probably the decisive struggle for the supremacy of the great war. Germany now wants Egypt, and is now marching her forces on to it. Her designs have swelled to such a proportion that the Allies are making preparations to defend the Suez canal. From the East will move thousands of Persians, as they have sworn their allegiance with the Germans. Meeting the thousands of Germans, they will seek to cross the Sinai peninsula, and should they succeed they will be following the footsteps of the children of Israel. Just as Persia's aid must be had by the Teutons, Abyssinia's aid is absolutely essential for the British and their allies to win. The fate of Egypt, the supremacy of the entente or the central powers, hangs in the balance. Persia or Abyssinia will tip the scales that will make the most exciting chapter in the war's history. The Suez canal is the new cockpit of the fighting kings of Europe. From the Orient has sailed the powerful Japanese fleet, which will co-operate with Abyssinia by transporting its troops to Egypt. Thousands of Jap marines will be sent to this theater of war. Already the Jap fleet has arrived at the canal. It is also possible for the French railroad to transport Abyssinia troops in four days to the Suez, or in five days to Bassora or Mesopotamia. The black troops are well armed, and Germany is the the country that has furnished them with their arms. Since 1911 Abyssinia has purchased from 800,000 to 1,000,000 modern rifles, most of which have been manufacured in Germany. She has 2,000,000 well-trained men which she has pledged to Britain. The young Emperor has refused every effort of the German agents to induce him on their side. The British, French and Italian nations have guaranteed independence of the boy's do- Richard W. Tompkins DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 5, 1916 Only a Chance Former United States Attorney Lewis a Conspicuous Figure at Trial Table Lewis and Edwards Excellent Examples of Highest Type of Americans, Regardless of Color The Mohr case, now being tried at Providence, R. I., is perhaps the greatest legal drama ever enacted in this section of the country. Few trials have contained the complications of this one and never before has this quaint old New England town been so stirred. The Negro is represented in this case in both its lighter and darker shades. Brown, Spellman and Healis, the three youths upon whom the State is endeavoring to fix the direct responsibility of the crime, are representatives of the shiftless and worthless class of their race while William H. Lewis and John C. Edwards, the brilliant attorneys who are excellent examples of the very highest type of Americans, regardless of color. Mrs. Elizabeth Mohr, the wife of the late physician, and co defendant of the colored lads, with her weak, passionate face, is not an appealing figure as she sits motionless in the court room between her attorneys. She is, however, the central figure in the case, for it is she, the State claims, who instigated the henious plot to slay her wealthy husband. At first it was claimed that Mrs. Mohr was actuated by jealousy but later, it was alleged that she wanted to come into possession of his wealth. Now it is alleged that she has been infatuated with her chauffeur, Heath, and wanted to get the doctor out of the way. Any and all of the reasons may or may not have prompted the woman to be anxious to rid herself of her husband, but if she is connected at all, the first two reasons are the most plausible. Her alleged intimacy with Healis was perhaps a coincidence, and may have aided the original motives. When Healis took the stand today the first real knowledge of his alleged intimacy with Mrs. Mohr was brought out when two letters were produced, which had been written by Mrs. Mohr to Healis. The letters were not read but counsel for the defense were allowed to inspect them. It was evident that counsel for Mrs. Mohr was annoyed by the presence of these letters. It seemed to have been their intention to prove that the doctor's life was a dual one, and that his alleged intimacy with other women was unjust to his wife; but this testimony of Healis brings another great complication. Public sentiment in and about Providence is greatly divided. Many persons sympathize with Mrs. Mohr, and quite a number sympathize with Brown and Spellman, but little or no sympathy is evidenced for Healis, who turned State's evidence, and thereby sacrificed his alleged conspirators. Lawyer William H Lewis, the famous Boston attorney, at one time assistant United States Attorney, is the only unpaid attorney in the case. It has been said that Brown's eighteen year old wife is retaining Mr. Lewis, but such is not the case. Mr. Lewis said his presence in the case was simply altruistic, and not in an effort to gain fame and fortune. However he is being praised on all sides because of his recognized ability and his conspicuous refinement. He never indulges in unnecessary discussion. Every time he rises he has some sufficient cause, and two-thirds of his objections are sustained by the court. In cross-examination, Mr. Lewis is exceedingly clever. His rapid-fire method of sending questions at the State's witness is the feature of the trial. Sunday, while Lawyer Edwards was busy in his office, former Assistant U. S. Attorney General William H. Lewis, a Harvard graduate and a member of the championship football team in 1892, and picked on the All-American team of that year, has been searching for a salesman who he met in Boston some time ago that said he could give some important testimony on the Mohr case. Lewis is trying 'hard to locate this man as the time for proving the innocence of his clients draws near. Attorney Lewis raised an objection to the fact that the white lawyers continually were calling his clients "colored." "I object to my clients being called colored men," shouted Attorney Lewis. "I'm not sensitive about it myself," he said. There was no reason for the prosecuting lawyers to make any distinction of color of either witness or prisoners. "How shall I term them?" asked the prosecuting attorney. "Call them by their names. Brown and Spellman, if you please." returned Lewis. Then he turned his attention to Healis whom he failed to make contradict to any extent- DECISION MAKES JONES HEAD BAPTIST CONVENTION A decision rendered in the courts of Chicago today by Judge Smith sustained the demurer of Attorneys Walter M. Farmer, of Chicago, and Wm. Harrison of Oklahoma City, recognizing the National Baptist Convention, of which E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., was elected president. It will be remembered that during the month of September last year the Baptists held a convention in Chicago and divided into two parts over a charter gotten out by seven men. Dr. Morris and his followers left the chair and the convention immediately elected 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 name, National Baptist Convention. The case has been hanging fire and the decision today by the court is far-reaching, as it tears down and virtually eliminates the incorporated faction as a national body. "You know Dr. Mohr hired you because he could trust you didn't he?" shouted Lewis. Healis trembled like an autumn leaf. He wet his tongue, closely watching Lewis. "And yet you come here and tell the jury that you deliberately stopped the car on the night of the murder, and waited long enough for two men to creep up and take the life of the man who trusted you." Healis hesitated, then faintly answered "Yes." "Are you a Negro or an Indian?" shot back Lewis. "An Indian" muttered Healis. "I thought so," returned Lewis. Monday Miss Stevenson was put on the stand and told her story of how Brown had tried to get her to pass a hotel to his sister helping him to form an alibi. Lewis made Miss Stevenson admit that she broke a breach of trust and that she would do anything in that capacity. Brown and Spellman will probably take the stand next week in their own behalf. Attorney Edwards, who with Lewis is looking after the interest of Spellman and Brown, has practiced law just thirty-one years longer than any of the other lawyers in the case. He lived until three years ago in Charlston, N. C., and is one of the ablest race lawyers in the country. Mrs Mohr (white) will take the stand in her own behalf. Her defense will be put up by Attorneys Cushing and Fitzgerald (white) and Attorneys Edwards and Lewis.—John R. Williams in Baltimore Afro-American. FIVE CENTS A COPY. NewYork.—In the Supreme Court, before Judge Hendricks last Thursday, a sealed verdict was brought in by the jury against the Greeley Square Amusement Co. in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bush, of 30 West 136th street, for $500. Mr. Bush, who is a member of the famous Clef Club, and his wife, a hair culturist, were refused balcony seats after tickets were secured by them for these seats last January. The complaint was made Jan. 4, 1915, and the happy outcome of it in favor of the complainants was due largely to the handling of the case by Lawyer W, S. Katzenstein, of 280 Broadway. Play on Intermarriage New York.—The proceedings at Maxine Elliott's theatre last night were partly Ethiopian. Michael L. Landman's new melodrama, "The Pride of Race," was what may be the white man's burden when he discovers that his great-grandfather belonged to the colored race. This new play, in which Robert Hillard acts the hero with the "taint," goes in detail into the science of obstetrics. The offspring who inherits the cloud that hangs over its father is not permitted to be taken for granted. One repulsive scene arrives when the invalid moth er leaps out of bed and discovering the color of her new born child, hysterically disowns it and heaps her bitterest reproaches on its father, who confesses he was aware of his inheritance before their marriage. But once "The Pride of the Race' had settled down, an uncanny suspense was created and sustained which had a certian fascination for some in the audience. The moral of the thing was irreproachable. 'The epilogue found the father in spic and span white flannels on his Cuban plantation, counseling his dusky son that "the greatest gifts of God are life and work.' The National Equal Rights League, at its eighth annual convention in Philadelphia, issued an address to the country calling on all members of the race to use their voices, pens, patronage, votes, money, and every other resource "for the abolition of segregation, disfranchisement and lynching on the color line." More than 125 delegates attended the convention from all parts of the country. Resolutions lauding the efforts of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other organizations and individuals working for the same cause were passed at the final session.

You are mindful of the fact that the Birth of a Nation solidified the Negroes of Denver as never before. Some definite and decisive actions were taken and valuable results accomplished. The play had not gotten out of the city until a few scheming politicians laid plans to divide and disrupt the Negroes' temporary unity. What did they use? Lincoln's birthday is coming, as is the honorable Frederic Doughass; so now, certain politicians have planned to celebrate Lincoln's birthday in three different places. Think of using the birthday of such a great man, who meant so much to us in our great hour of need, as a political trick or trap to catch the unsuspecting Negroes! Put the motives and actions of these psuedo politicians to the test by asking and answering these questions concerning them: Who are they, anyway? What do they represent in business, social life, industrial activity, or what have they to lose? Are they in politics? If so, for how long and for what purpose? Have they ever given you a job, or in fact have any of them ever benefited anybody but themselves? Will you following them give them a greater hold to grab an office, when we have many deserving widows, young women and men, capable and honest, who really deserve our encouragement? Are these would-be representatives honest and fearless and can they trust them you and I were fighting the Birth of a Nation? Why should they bob up now, if not to further the ambition of some white politician who has deserved the Negroes? Have these men ever sold out and will they not now sell out for a messenger job? Is not Secretary Ramer's appointee the only man who stood up for the race and did not lay down and as a consequence received commendation from his employer? What are the qualifications of these would-be leaders, in point of knowledge, intelligence, experience and accomplishment? What vision have they, what have they to offer you? The Star has set its face in the right direction, and, with your assistance, intends to take the measure of men who aspire to be "bosses." We may have to show up our friends, if they are wrong; we may have to criticise our enemies severely if they persist in stabbing the Negro race in the back of messenger jobs, a chance to handle a little money or to sell the race out. Negroes of Denver and Colorado, this coming campaign will be the fiercest and closest ever experienced in Denver and Colorado. Negro traitors within and without the race will be shown up. So the Star asks you to patiently watch, wait and weigh all your actions carefully before doing anything political. If you divide the Democrats will win; if you split the party vote and give it to a weak man, the Democrats will still win; so again the Star admonishes you to wait, watch and investigate. Let the politician do the talking and YOU do the THINKING and ACTING. Wait—you can't be harmed. No one connected with the Star is a job seeker, job-holder or aspirates for a job. We are for jobs and positions for OTHER8. That's where we stand. Who else can and will say as much? CHURCH DIRECTORY. CHURCH of the HOLY REDEEMER Cor. 22nd Ave. and Humboldt. Ibexe York 5700.

EVENT CREATES INTEREST. Governor McCall Selected to Present Coveted Trophy to the Winner at the Historic Park Street Church—Former President William Heward Taft Serves on Special Committee. Boston. — The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People starts the year 1916 with many great problems before it for solution. The success of the work the past year was in many ways very gratifying to the board of directors and other of its officials, but with lynchings on the increase and many stubborn cases of segregation to fight the association must use every means at its command in order to create a stronger sentiment in favor of giving justice to all citizens not because of their color, but because it is right and in accord with the fundamental law of this republic. The big public event of the association for the third week in February will be a great mass meeting, to be held in the Park Street church, Boston, on Tuesday, Feb. 22, at which the second Spingarn medal will be presented by Governor McCall to the man or woman 1 DR. J. E. SPINGARN. of our race selected as having made the most distinguished achievement during the preceding twelve months. The Spingarn medal, the gift of Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia university and chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, is a gold medal of the value of $100 and is awarded annually to the American Negro who has rendered the most distinguished service during the year in any field of honorable or elevated endeavor. The award committee consists of two northern white men—ex-President William H. Taft and Oswald Garrison Villard—a southern white man—Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Slater fund and two colored men. Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore and President John Hope of Morehouse college, Atlanta, Ga. The first medal was awarded in February, 1915, to Dr. Edward E. Just, professor in the Howard University Medical school, for distinguished work in biological research. It was presented to him by Governor Whitman of New York before an enormous audience in New York city. The incident received an unusual amount of publicity in the press throughout the country. Even southern newspapers commented widely on the fact that a medal to a Negro was awarded for scientific attainments. The recipient of the second medal will not be announced until Governor McCall presents it to him in the Park Street church on Washington's birthday. It is expected that several other speakers of national reputation will make addresses at the same meeting. The Spingarn medal may be said to be the most distinguished recognition which a colored man receives in this country for scholarly attainments and distinguished service. The meeting at the Park Street church will be held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, of which Mr. Moorfield Storey of Boston is president and Oswald Garrison Villard of New York vice president. Much interest is being taken in this coming event, which is not simply local, but one of nation wide importance to our people. Meeting of Evangelical Publishers. The National Baptist Publishing house at Nashville, Tenn., was the only business concern among the colored race represented at the annual meeting of the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Publishers held at Richmond, Va., the last week in January. The delegates were the Rev. Dr. R. H Boyd, founder and secretary of the national Baptist publishing board; Dr. C H. Clark, the Rev. Henry Allen Boyd and Dr. W. S. Ellington.

As the result of an agitation started recently among the boy cadets and the young members of the Mount Olive Baptist Sunday school a hundred deposits on the Christmas Savings club plan were started in the One Cent Savings bank, says the Nashville (Tenn.) Globe. It was quite a sight to see this crowd of boys mingled with girls and young women marching up to the One Cent Savings bank and opening deposits in their own names. The ages ran from four years to eighteen, and each opened a separate account. All of them were happy and jubilant over the fact that they had begun a real bank account. Assistant Cashier C. N. Langston was busy all day, and for two weeks this crowd increased, and it was stated at the bank that never before in the history of the institution have so many people taken advantage of this savings offer.

Washington, as outlined by Millikin-Jenkins Co. of Washington, D. C. Young men beware that you do not make a wrong step. The Star knows and believes you are honest but it also knows that you are being used as catpaws to pull chestnuts out of the fire for others to the detriment of the Race. You may make a few dollars one day but who will get the positions and jobs after election. You have been bought, paid for and delivered. You cannot get money and jobs too. Young men qui t yourselves like men and don't hurt the race's chances! Forward is the watchword! Nothing can stand still! We must progress, or we must retrograde! The year nineteen-sixteen should make the greatest era of advancement we have ever known. All conditions are prodigious. The beginning of the new year finds us with new responsibilities and new opportunities. How are we to meet these responsibilities, how improve these opportunities? "If you use any insinuations when you mean me, I shall meet you upon the street and take it out on your hide." This is what the Editor received over the telephone Monday morning because of the editors written Saturday. This is the warm salutation the Editor received Monday morning. We are neither afraid, nor will we stop turning on the light at whatever cost. The Star intends that the common people have a chance at the political counter and not a special few all the time. Drifting is such an easy job that more people drift with the current than pull against it. The most difficult feat in the world is to pull against the current which controls our circumstances, but we will never get up stream without. If the people want such men to constitute themselves and lead them into their own green pastures, the Star will bow to the will of the common people, if not, we fight for you. Go to the N. A. A.C. P.

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.

No manuscript reage. at the postoffice in the city of Denver, 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 ticket regularly. If white men are looking for white leaders they go to the State Capitol or heads of big enterprises for leaders, bnt when they look for Negro leaders, do not they go to some back yard of some person, get some reliable trusty servant to lead the business, professional and tradesman or color of Denver? Why is it? Is it because we stand for it? How long will you stand for it? UNCLE ABE'S POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS. I have often heard it said "that politics make strange bed fellows." The truth of that saying has been recently verified, for I know of certain Colored men who have not spoken to each other for twelve years—except to abuse and curse at each other; and all about who should be the leader of the Colored voters of Denver. But do you know that they have kissed and made up and are occupying the same political bed, and can be seen daily gamboling about on the green earth, congratulating each other how they have with regularity put it over on the colored voters who are so verdent and easy that they stand for it to have the "bush wah" and "green stuff" shot into them and to be used to get for each of them a lucrative job? I tell you its worth something while it lasts to be a political boss—to have votes to exchange for jobs—there is nothing like it. No business brings such returns with so little capital invested. All that is needed to make a good political boss is to possess an unlimited amount of unadulterated gall, mixed in equal parts with selfishness. Ha-ha. 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 Allison Stocker as the best party man for governor. Why? While we like Gov. Carlson, supported him last election at great expense to ourselves, yet we think that Gov. 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. "THE OTHER SIDE" Something Not Printed in Books. Hon.

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 titing. 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 toled 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 man 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 Phone Champa 2211 THE: Chesapeake Fish and Oystsr House Fresh Fish, Oysters, Salt Smoked, Dried and Canned Fish.

WHITTIER CENTER HOLDS BETTER HEALTH MEETING. Improved Housing Facilities Means of Reducing Death Rate. Philadelphia.—The improvement in health conditions in the sections of cities where the colored people are in the majority, as the result of education and improved housing facilities, was discussed recently before the members of the Whittier Center by several prominent health authorities at the Hotel Adelphia, in Philadelphia. The occasion was a memorial meeting and luncheon in honor of the late Booker T. Washington. Among the principal speakers were Dr. Haven Emerson, health commissioner of New York city; George M. Kober, secretary of the housing commission in Washington, and Dr. Samuel T. Mitchell, president of Delaware college. Mr. Kober told how the improvement of housing conditions in Washington and many other southern cities has resulted in reducing the mortality in the race. "In the sections of which I speak," said Mr. Kober, "better housing conditions, coupled with instruction in sanitation, have not only lowered the death rate among the colored race, but gradually are eradicating the diseases prevalent among them." Improved housing conditions alone, according to Dr. Emerson, will not solve the problem of better health conditions either in the white or colored sections of a city. "While the betterment of housing conditions naturally is a big factor in the matter," said he "it must travel hand in hand with education. The stamping out of ignorance is one of the most important factors to be considered." "We may talk all we like about preparedness," continued Dr. Emerson, "but when we take into consideration the countless thousands in our cities who are unfitted for military service the question appears somewhat inconsistent. If we ever are going to be prepared we must do all in our power to remedy this state of affairs." Dr. Mitchell told of the influence of education in uplifting the colored race. The society elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President. Dr. H. R. M. Landis; vice presidents. Dr. James Tyson and Charles J. Hattfield; recording secretary, Mrs. E. W. Tyle; corresponding secretary, Mrs. E. B. Leaf. "General, shall we charge the battery?" "Yes; if there is an electrician among you do so at once."—Pittsburgh Press.

M. E. Zion chureh, who is a resident of this city and the presi- dent of the Democratic organization among the colored people, is having his troubles with the present national Democratic administration, Bishop Walters was one of the leading spirits in the political campaign of 1912, which resulted im the election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency. It was zen- erally believed that colored Democrats would be appointed to those offices held by colored Republicans, in view of Mr. Wilson's pre-election pledges to Bishop Walters and other colored Democratic leaders, but up to February, 1916, the opposite has been the result, to the great disappointment of those colored men who voted the Democratic ticket in the general election in 1912 which resulted in Mr. Wilson's success, Becoming alarmed over the slim rec- ognition accorded by the president to aw » a Bee ey Bc) sd me “ oS = ¢ Mee — > be i ee an ee members of the colored Democraey in Eis sates Oe = pepetatene eo the more important positighs usually eld by members of the race, Bishop Walters has very recently been quite anxious to know the attitude of the president in the matter. ‘The most important office ‘left on which the bishop based his | hopes of final recognition for his fol- [lowers was that of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, and it 1s [said that the bishop has been told that the administration will not appoint @ colored man to the position for fear of creating a discussion of the race ques- | tion. | In order to put toa final test whether ‘the senate will confirm the appoint- | ment of colored nan as recorder of “deeds or to a similar position in which ‘coutirmation by that body is neces- “sury, Bishop Walters still requests the president to make such an appointment ‘and to that end has sent an open let- ter to the nation’s chief executive at ‘the White House: “Honored Sir—In this open letter 1 idesiee to think you most heartily for audiences granted and favors given me since your election us president of the United States: aud, further, 1 thank the heads of the departments for #p- pointments and promotions inde in their several bureaus. There is a senth ment abread that it I not the policy of the national Democratle party to ap polnt and confirm Negroes to promt- nent offices. In the light of the follow: ing letter aud the nominations of Mr. Patterson, Judge Terrell and Mr. Car- lis, it is hard (o believe that your ex cellency shares in this opposition. “Certainly the hostile Negro. senth- ment of some who occupy high places in the Demceratic party cannot be con sidered as expressing the attitnde of the party toward us. If democracy means anything «at all it must mean the sharing tn the government of every honest, intelligent taxpaying eitizen, without regard to ereed or color. “Surely this is eminently true at a time when every man of every race In our beloved country ts expected to serve the colors fn cise of 1 crisis and fs needed to Insure ‘prepurcdness’ for our national defense. It docs appear to me that it should be the alm of the [ national government to inspire and in tensify the warmest patriotisin rather than discourage and repress the love and zeal of all citizens. “To be officiaily informed that Ne- groes cannot be confirmed In high fed- eral positions, such as they have beld nnder former administrations, no mat: ter how worthy, Js, to say the least, discouraging. We have walted long and patiently to know what our polit- fen! status under the Democratic rule in to be In all parts of this country. In certain parts of the southland @ prop- erty qualification was demanded, and we met that, but to no avail; then the educational test was required, and when our illiteracy was decreased 1 per cont and when we had met the edu cational qualification, we were biddep | to stamd aside and walt a little longer: instead of being enconruged to register | and vote, “In many places where we presented ourselves for enrollment we were ruth. lessly turned down. It Is well to un- derstand that the Democratic party cannot have the support ef the Negro cote in the north, east and west while (t dentes theiballot to the members of ouriface inthe south. For a national party to take such a position is unfair, unreasonable and untenable. As to the position of recorder of deeds, it has be- come a test case, and we are not now contending so much for the office as we are for the principle involved—namely, the right of Negroes to be nominated and confirmed in important offices. “We do hope, Mr. President, that you will not hesitate to make the nomina- tion of a colored man to the office of the recorder of deeds or to one of equal Importance where senatorial confirma- tlon {s required, for we desire to know whether it is to be the policy of the Democratic party to aceord to Negroes the same rights and recognition grant- ed to other citizens of the nation, or, in other words, can the Democratic party ‘afford to ignore a half million voters on account of thelr color who are con. stantly Increasing in numbers. Most respectfully yours. “ALEXANDER WALTERS.” ‘The promise made by) President Wil- son to Bishop Walters that in the event of his (Wilson's) election te would deal Justly by the colored people of this country is contained in a letter addressed to Bishop Walters by Mr. Woodrow Wilson from Trenton, N. J. in October, 1912, und reads as follows: “Oct. 16, 1912. “My Dear Bishop Walters—I hope that it seems superfluous to those who know me, but to those who do not know me perhaps it is necessary for me to assure my colored fellow citizens of my earnest wish to see justice done them in every matter and not mere grudging justice, but justice executed with liberality and cordial good feel- ing. Every guarantee of our law, ev- ery provision of our constitution, com- mands this, and our sympathies should also make it easy, “The colored people of the United States have made extraordinary prog: ress toward self support and useful. ness and ought to be encouraged in every possible way. My sympathy with them is of long standing, and I want fo assure them through you that should I become president of the Unit ed States they may count upon me for absolutely fuir dealing and for every- thing by which I could assist in ad vancing the interests of their race in the United States. Cordially and sin cerely yours, “WOODROW WILSON.” RACE CONFERENCE TO MEET AT COLUMBIA, S. C., FEB. 4. Local Committas Arranges an Elab: orate Program For Annual Meeting. Columbia, S$.

THE WASHINGTON MEMGRIAL FUND THE WASHINGTON MEMGRIAL FUND Tuskegee Institute Trustees Plan to Raise $2,000,000. SCOTT TO DIRECT CAMPAIGN Nation Wide Movement Started to Perpetuate the Memory and Useful Life of the Late Booker T. Washington—Splendid Opportunity Afforded For Race to Show Its Loyalty. The trustees of the Tuskegee (Ala.) Normal and Industrial Institute are undertaking the task of raising a Booker T. Washington memorial fund of $2,000,000 in memory of the great American who passed to his reward, Sunday, Nov. 14, 1915. Quite properly, the trustees have felt that the "bed rock" of interest in this effort must rest with the colored people, who in their letters to Tuskegee institute, following Dr. Washington's death, gave such warm assurances of support, to the end that the work of Tuskegee institute may be perpetuated and preserved as a permanent memorial to the man who gave all that he could give—his very life—to his people. The trustees have designated Secretary Emmett J. Scott to take charge of the special campaign among the colored people. It is believed that they will welcome the opportunity of contributing at least $250,000, as the trustees and public expect, as their part of this memorial fund. It has been suggested, in the raising of this fund, that subscriptions be invited under certain group heads. It is felt that there are those of the race who would like to contribute under the group heads, therefore Mr. Scott is very anxious that every member of the race be given the opportunity of contributing as they may be able toward this fund. From those who are not able to give even $1 any sum which they find themselves able to give will be accepted and gratefully appreciated. For, after all, the spirit of the gift is as important as the gift itself. The officers and members of fraternal and secret society organizations are asked to join us in the effort we are making to meet the just expectation of those who are looking to the colored people, through this movement, to show their own interest in perpetuating Dr. Washington's monument by the preservation of Tuskegee institute and also to show their appreciation of his labors so unselfishly rendered in their behalf. Teachers in schools, both public and private, are also invited to share the labors of this effort. To that end they are requested not only to work up interest in the movement, but also to take a collection from among the children of the various schools throughout the country on April 5, 1916. It is also earnestly urged that Sunday, March 12, 1916, be set aside as a special day upon which to raise a collection in all the colored churches and Sunday schools. In order that the machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a minimum it has been decided by the trustees of the institute that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed and that all funds collected be sent directly to and acknowledged from Tuskegee institute. Checks may be drawn to the order of Warren Logan, treasurer, Tuskegee institute, Alabama, or to the order of Emmett J. Scott. It is the aim of those in charge to send to all of the subscribers to this fund who give $5 or more a certificate to be framed showing Dr. Washington's picture, a picture of the home in which he was born and a picture of Tompkins Memorial hall, the largest building on the institute grounds. Correspondence is invited from all who are interested in this movement, and the assurance is given that if the colored people themselves give $250,000 of the $2,000,000 to be raised this sum will be met more than dollar for dollar by contributions from white people. The trustees decided that out of the money given by the colored people there shall be erected on the institute grounds a permanent memorial to Dr. Washington's unselfish and useful life, to take the form of a building, a statue or a monument of some other character. The colored people will thus have the opportunity not only of contributing to the fund itself, but also of erecting the monument which shall stand on the institute grounds as "a memorial of Dr. Washington's sagacity, of his courage, of his prudence, of his self forgetfulness and of his patriotic service to the colored people" and to the people of the United States."
