"The aid he had given the late Bishop Fenw Boston to Father P 'He was a big man during the war and after it. He did not attempt to crush the South, but he had faith in the ability of the Negro to use the ballot. It is no wonder that we get mad when we see him thus pictured. He never married. Dixon says that he lies buried beside the grave of his mullatto housekeeper. This is a falsehood. His housekeeper was Mrs. Smith, who was married and had two sons as black as coal. She lies buried with her family in a Catholic cemetery, while Stevens is buried in a private cemetery, where he chose his own lot before he died. The whole thing has misrepresented affairs at that time, especially this man Stevens and his housekeeper.' This is valuable testimony against Dixon's false libel. PUT THE MOB DOWN. A Negro was lynched January 18, 1916, at Buckville, Ark., for slapping a small white boy. After the mob had disposed of the Negro in its brutal and summary way, it burned down the Negro schoolhouse. Why did the mob burn down the schoolhouse? Because, one may sup pose, school education prepar es one to resist insults, whether coming from white or coloured, and causes one to denounce all forms of lawlessness. Such items as this one—lynching a Negro and burning down a Negro school house—are of such common occurrence that they barely get a paragraph in our daily papers. If a Negro is burned alive, he may get two paragraphs, but no bitter denunciation in editorial comment. Should such a horror be perpetuated on the battle fronts of the bloodiest war of history, now raging in Europe, our great American press would go wild in denouncing the barbarity, but if a Negro is nailed in a pine box, saturated with coal oil and burned to a crisp in Mississippi, the news columns will tell the story simply, and the editorial page be as silent as death on this bit of Southern pastime. It is indifference to the mob this callousness to crime, this tolerance to race hatred, that has emboldened the Klu Klux to resurrect in Southeast Missouri and start once more on their night ride for murder and arson. So the news come from down around New Madrid, the hotbed of Negro lining and banishment, that the night-riders are in the saddle. It is like the Klu Klux, a secret organization of oth-bound assassins, only now their idea is to kill rich white men instead of poor Negroes; to burn white factories and mills instead of Negro churches and schoolhouses; to burn down towns and make white families shelterless instead of driving the Negro population out of the town like they did at Pierre City. KANSAS BARS DIXON'S BIRTH OF A NATION. State Supt. of Education and Film Censor Rejects Entire Film—Board of Appeal Sustains Him—Misrepresents North, South and Colored Race, says Ross—Full of Race Prejudice. Topeka, Kansas,—Kansans who care to pay $2 prices to see a movie will have to go outside the state to see "The Birth of a Nation," unless the courts enjoin the board of censors from preventing the film from being shown. Following the showing of the film to an invited audience, W. D. Ross, state superintendent of public instruction and state movie censor, rejected the film entire. Then the state appeal board consisting of Gov. Capper, Atty-Gen. S. M. Brewster and Secretary of State J. T. Botkin, sustained the state censor after hearing the arguments of H A. Sherman, manager of the film company. Supt. Ross issued the following "The picture is rejected because it is not proper, is not instructive; and from its false title, through its tissue of misrepresentations of the North, the Negro and our country's history, to the final culminating travesty which pictures peace on earth and good will to men as the outcome of passion, of hate and murder, it is vicious and immoral—immoral not alone in the parts that are sexually suggestive, but in its whole revelation of race prejudice and sectional bitterness.' Man. Sherman announced that he would take the case to the courts and get an injunction sometime between now and the time the reel is sched uled to be shown in Kansas. FOR THADDEUS STEVENS COLORED HOUSEKEEPER. The infamous 'Birth of a Nation,' which was permitted after stirring protest in Grand Rapids Herald in behalf of the great Stevens, and also of his 'Mullatto housekeeper,' by whom the South try to besmirch his memory. This man, Samuel Ranck, said that he had lived in Lancaster county, the home of Stevens, all his life and knew the Congressman well, also his house keeper. He says the film is a libel upon the character of Pennsylvania's greatest citizen and on the woman who was his housekeeper. "Many a time have I stopped at the little cemetery in which Old Thad lies bnried. Many a time have I looked over the fence at the tomb in which his remains rest and wished that another could spring up in LENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 12, 1916 What Race Prejudice Will Do. New York World Defends Attacks on First Jew Ever Nominated for High Tribunal on Grounds of His Personal Attitude, it Says New York,—Bruce Grit, the great colored literateur, in the subjoined article to the New York World, has the following to say: Is the opposition to the confirmation of Louis D. Brandeis as a member of the United States Supreme Court really due to the fact that he is said to be a Socialist or radical, or to the prejudices or a type of "Americans" two or three times removed from foreign ancestors of the emigrant class, who profess to have a strange aversion to people of Jewish blood and strong objections to the election or appointment to high office of Catholics and Jews and colored men? One would imagine from the tumult which the nomination of Mr. Brandeis has raised in certain quarters that he is a man with hoofs and horns who ought not to be at large, and the Presidency of the United States Supreme Court are precious heritages only of 'us' pure, blooded "Americans." As the Jewish residents of this country, born or naturalized, are by the terms of the Constitution citizens of the United States, it seems to me to be exceeding bad taste for citizens of other races to advance as an objection to the confirmation of a man so well and highly spoken of by those who know his worth and his ability as a lawyer that he is a Jew. If this objection should unfortunately hold, will there not come a time when it will operate against other races which have not had the honor of originating in America? But who are those "superior Americans" who object to a Jew on the Supreme Court bench of the United States? How pure is their own red blood from the taint of that race they affect to despise? And how many of them, after all, are pure unadulterated Americans? I think there are scarcely enough of them left with which to organize the proposed army of defense about which we are hearing so much. The term American, as applied to white men here, is a misnomer and does not properly describe a people in whose veins courses the blood of nearly every race on earth. It is a beautiful conceit, a delightful fiction, that's all. What is an American? Whereas the World intimates that it is an issue of radicalism or conservatism that causes the great interests to oppose Mr. Brandeis, it is nevertheless, true that a strong undercurrent of race feeling is opposing Mr. Brandeis' appointment. No people on earth know better than the colored people of this country do, what prejudice is; but Nathan Straus in the New York Times has some idea of it. He says: "It is easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its perceptions are false. It sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It nutures lies and rejects truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy. It rules those who give it life. It is a conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions, of men. It sits beside the gates of life and takes toll of all that pass. "It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of justice. It is the handmaiden of error, the nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and poisons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickens on the sustenance of today, "It is the anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It bemeans benevolence and shuns communion. It stills the sound of music and palsies the hand of art. It betrays belief and sets suspicion on a throne. It rejoices in tears. Its mirth is in misery." "It is the monster of mind. It pollutes thought, serves despair, and ravishes right. It offends against fact and is a stranger to logic. Its soothing is in sophistry. It divines the unreal and walks in the way of phantoms. It drains the potions brewed by witches of the brain. It is a thing of charms and amulets. "It is prejudice!" PREJUDICE JOHN E. BRUCE. PIERRE TOUSSIANT, BENEFACTOR OF THE POOR. Remarkable Life Work of a Noteworthy Negro. In the recently published eighth volume of the Historical Records and Studies of the United States Catholic Historical Society a chapter is devoted to an outline of "Mission Work among Colored Catholics". And incidentally the story is told ofa noble Negro, the perusal of whose life and work would be the source of elevation and good to any man of any race or creed. The story is that of Pierre Toussaint, who came as a slave from Santo Domingo with his master and the master's wife, fleeing from the revolution of August 1791. The master died on a return trip to the island, and the widow "found herself in her new home without any resources". "Toussaint" we learn "immediately devoted himself to her maintenance. He was an expert ladies' hair dresser and soon became the fashionable artist of the town, earning a considerable amount, which he expended on his mistress, who, on her death bed, in 1810 emancipared him." But he also found time even then "to do a great deal of charitable work, helping the poor with his savings and ministering to the sick. During the yellow fever epidemic his work was heroic. When he became free his prosperity increased and his thrift accumulated a modest competence, the income of which went to the poor, for churches, to orphan asylums, or whatever fostered the progress of religion. He lived to the age of eighty-seven, dying on June 30, 1853. It is stated that for sixty years he never tailed to hear Mass every morning." Nor were the great services which he performed unappreciated. At his death there were many to testify to his good works. A lady, nonCatholic, who had attended his funeral in New York thus describes it in a letter to a friend: "I went on Saturday to attend Toussaint's funeral. High Mass, incense, candles, rich robes, sad and solemn music were there. The Church gave all that it could give to prince or noble. The priest, his friend Mr. Quin, made a most interesting address. He did not allude to his color, and scarcely to his station, it seemed as if his virtues as a man and a christian had absorbed all other thoughts. A stranger would not have suspected that a black man of his humble calling lay in the midst of us. He said no relative was left to mourn for him yet many present would feel that they had lost one who al- FIVE CENTS A COPY. ways had wise counsel for the rich, words of encouragement for the poor, and all would be grateful for having known him. "The aid he had given to the late Bishop Fenwick of Boston, to Father Power of onr city, to all the Catholic institutions, was dwelt upon at large. How much I have learnt of his charitable deeds which I had never known before! Mr. Quin said: 'There were left few among the clergy superior to him in devotion and zeal for the Church and for the glory of God; among laymen none!'" (Historical Records and Studies", New York, 1915, p. 127.) A remarkable and beautiful story indeed, this life of the exslave Toussaint. "God's image carved in ebony", has he been called by another lady who wrote an account of his career. (Mrs. H. F. Leo, "Memoir of Pierre Toussaint. Born a Slave in St. Domingo." Boston, Crosby and Nichols, 1854.) His life is worthy of remembrance in the annals of the Negro race. And it is interesting to note that the same article in which mention of his work is contained also gives an account of other examples of heroism among the Negro people. In 1741, in "New York Conspiracy", or the "Negro Plot", a number of Catholic Negroes we learn were burned at the stake, one of them mentioned in particular, Juan de Sylva, going to death most bravely. As he went, in fact, "he kissed a crucifix, protesting his innocence to the last." Men such as these should not be forgotten especially by those of their own race. Their names and records should ever be preserved and carefully cherished. C. B. of C. V. A Real Philanthropist One of the most pleasing things we have heard of lately is contained in the will of the late Andrew Freedman of New York, the bachelor who left an estate valued at $7,000 000. the bulk of which is to be used eventually for the establishment of a home for the aged on original lines which the founder himself had formulated. It will be known as the Andrew Freedman Home. It will receive aged persons in indigent circumstances without regard to race, sex or creed, and especially will it care for old couples who, in the evening of life might otherwise be forced to live apart. Mr. Freedman selected twenty-four persons, who will be requested to act as trustees of the home. They represent various races and religions and their selection shows that the testator intended that the institution should have a representative board. Mr Freedman, evidently, belongs in Ben Adhem's class. Church News THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th Avenue and Ogden. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Telephones, York 6007, York 9377.

Prayer and Class Meeting is growing in interest weekly. There are hopes of this auxiliary of the church becoming a great factor in the spiritual part of the church ere long. Rev. R. F. Rader, our faithful substitute pastor, donated the church a half ton of coal this week. Thanks brother. Let others do likewise.

George, 2819 Glenarm; Lawrence George, 2828 Stout; Leon Rhone, 2238 Washington and Mrs. L. W. George, 2819 Glenarm. The first two names were recent converts to the Christian faith. Rev. Jas. Washington rode one of his fiery steeds in the afternoon and the audience realized that it was good to be there. At the quarterly conference on Monday evening, the reports showed that 21 persons had been received into the church during the past three months and $1,419.52 had been collected by the several departments of the church. The Presiding Elder expressed himself as being highly pleased with the condition of affairs.

This is to remind the heroic membership to bestir itself along financial lines and thus maintain the reputation of The People's church in the Presbytery of Denver.

Freetown, Sierra Leone.—The career of the late Sir Samuel Lewis should serve as a stimulus and an inspiration to ambitious youths of West Africa generally and Sierra Leone in particular. Sir Samuel was no spoiled child of fortune, but by dint of his talents, perseverance and industry he earned for himself the fame and power which he enjoyed. No other personality in his day was so vitally interesting to the people of Sierra Leone as that of Sir Samuel. Sir Samuel Lewis, Kt., C. M. G., M. L. C., B. L. and ex-mayor of Freetown, was born at Freetown in the colony of Sierra Leone on Nov. 13, 1843, of purely African parentage. His parents, who were of the Egba tribe, were A. SIR SAMUEL LEWIS. slaves rescued from a slave ship and brought to Sierra Leone during the time that slave dealers knew no limit in the prosecution of their nefarious traffic. At the close of their school life they became members of the Wesleyan church. Mr. William Lewis, the father, by means of his prosperity in business, was able to secure a sound education for his children, of whom Samuel was the second. His father, who was ever ready to avail himself of whatever had the tendency of contributing to the educational advancement of his sons, found himself flooded with suggestions concerning his son's training in England; and later on a high public legal officer at Sierra Leone, who had taken great interest in young Mr. Lewis, sent for him and, after having satisfied himself as to his general aptitude and attainments, undertook to arrange for his legal education. The year 1878 witnessed Mr. Lewis' first appointment to a seat in the legislative assembly of the colony of Sierra Leone, and in February, 1882, upon the recommendation of the then governor he was reappointed a member of that body, where he continuously labored until his death, a period representing over twenty-five years. He took active part in the framing of an ordinance for granting a corporation to the city of Freetown, and by his persistence and untiring zeal to elevate his country and countrymen. Freetown was made a corporation city in 1895, and as a mark of high appreciation of his services he was elected the first mayor of the city of Freetown, and at the two succeeded elections he retained his seat as mayor. During his term of office both in the legislative and the municipal councils he maintained the high estimation of the public, which had already been assured, and proved himself an able debater on all questions. In August, 1867, he visited Paris as one of two delegates to represent Sierra Leone in the anti-slavery conference. He took prominent part in the discussions of the government board of education for the colony for several years and was a member of the Young Men's Literary association, which was established by the Rev. R. W. Hartshorn, M. A., a former colonial chaplain. He was also president of the local committee at Sierra Leone and one of the nine founders (as representative of the colored race) of the incorporation of the African institute, Colwyn bay. He held diverse other positions during his lifetime, but it is impossible in this short article to review his whole career. On Aug. 24, 1895, he was appointed a justice of the peace, and some time about March, 1806, the order of knighthood was conferred on him at the pleasure of her majesty the late Queen Victoria. Sir Samuel was diligent in all his doings and therefore stood before potentates and not before mean men. It may be mentioned that he was the first and only full blooded African on whom the order of knighthood has been conferred. IF IT IS IN THE HAIR LINE, SEE ME MRS. WM. G. CAMPBELL 2835 STOUT ST.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS TO MEET AT VICKSBURG, MISS. Annual Session of Religious Body Scheduled For Wednesday, June 14. Nashville, Tenn.—Announcement has been made here that Vicksburg, Miss., has been selected as the place for the eleventh annual session of the Sunday school congress. The dates of the meeting are to be from Wednesday, June 4, to Monday, June 19, inclusive. In handing out this statement the secretary of the Sunday school congress, Henry A. Boyd, says that it was only after much deliberation that the congress management was able to determine which of the cities bidding for the meeting really offered the best proposition. Invitations from Cleveland, Columbus and Cinchinnati, O.; Oklahoma City, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tenn; Shreveport, La.; Austin, Tex., and Vicksburg, Miss., were received. That Vicksburg won over the others is explained by the secretary in a statement issued, saying that Vicksburg offered the best inducement and the most flattering invitation and that Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma joined in with Vicksburg in extending the invitation for the meeting. The Sunday school congress has met in such states as Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi. Its going back to the state of Mississippi marks the second session to be held in that state. it having met prior to this at Meridian. The Sunday school workers throughout the country are to be notified, and the selecting of representatives from the various Sunday schools is urged by the congress' secretary. Several of the states—namely, North and South Carolina and Virginia—have already begun the selection of their representatives, so it was learned from Sunday school congress headquarters. The chairman of the congress, Dr. C. H. Clark, who has been spending some time in Hot Springs, declared that the largest delegation in the history of the movement would be rolled up at Vicksburg. The invitation of Vicksburg is supported by some of the leading churches of Mississippi and Vicksburg and by the business organizations of the city, which is noted as a city of scenery, located, as it is, on the banks of the Mississippi river, and is easily reached by rail and water. John Smith Brown's Race Prayer Poem The following stanzas are taken from a poem written in January by John Smith Brown, Jr., of New York city, entitled "A Race Prayer:" Cast into darkness, far from the light, Groping 'midst slavery's chains for a sight, A peep at yon sovereign enthroned in blue water. Braining down sunbeams with never a halt. Oh, God, pity Belgium, servia too. But wait; Who remains to pity us? Who? Many the prayers our forefathers groaned; Them hast thou answered, the nation atoned. O God, let the new year bid all the black race Rush from dread darkness, aspire to the place Claimed, yes, usurped by other races of men. Hewers of wood to keep us till when? Go. Ethiopia! Stretch forth thy hands. Stretch till your fingers touch those of all lands; Then on thee. Father, we'll lovingly wait, Trust that thy promise its granting will mate. Field For Work Among Clubwomen. Those organizations among women, such as mothers' clubs, day nurseries and kindergarten clubs, which teach household arts, sanitation and economy are doing a worthy work. Children who receive instruction in these branches in the public schools and whose parents are interested in the same receive a double benefit and have been found to take a keener interest in the domestic affairs of their homes. Along these lines, as well as in the larger work of charity and matters of health, home management and proper religious training through the Sunday school and church, women's clubs have a fine opportunity to do much effective work. HONORS FOR BRAITHWAITE. Poet Suggested For Spinpark Medal Miss Bosfield Losee Position. Boston.—The colored people of this city are up in arms over the segregation and then discharge of Miss Jane R. Bosfeld, a colored stenographer, employed under civil service in the state insane hospital at Medfield, Mass. Her attorneys, Williams & Williams, colored, stated the mistreatment of Miss Bosfeld at the St. Mark's Literary society, at the suggestion of Editor William Monroe Trotter, secretary of the National Equal Rights league. The Equal Rights league held a conference Monday, Jan. 31, at the headquarters, 40 Cornhill, and appointed a steering committee to arrange a public protest. On motion of Mr. Trotter the Boston Literary passed a strong resolution against the segregation and mistreatment of this young colored woman. Williams & Williams, her attorneys, are fighting the case and will see that Miss Bosfeld gets justice. The speaker at the Boston Literary was William Stanley Braithwaite, the noted anthologist and talented colored poet. The whites accord him the position of the leading anthologist of America and England and the foremost critic of poetry in America. Rev. S. A. Brown, president of the Literary, nominated him for the Spingarn medal. The Guardian has also suggested his name. The medal is to be awarded in Easiest Way.

The Negro of Colorado must learn in school what the white boy absorbs from association and environment. The American White man in his ordinary state is supremely conscious of his manhood prerogative. He may be ignorant, poor or vicious; yet he never forgets that he is a man. But every feature of our civilization is calculated to impress upon the Negro a sense of his inferiority and to make him feel and believe that he is good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot of other men. A race, like an individual, that compromises its own self-respect, paralyzes and enfeebles its own energies. Now for the Negroes of Colorado to give it out to the world that all that the Negro in Colorado wants and aspires to is a mental job, will only enter a wedge of its inferiority so deeply into Colorado's mind of fairness and prosperous civilization that it will take years for our children to eradicate. To inculcate the principle of hope and progressive aspiration should be the mission of our leaders. What have the so-called Negro leaders in Colorado to offer you? Freedom and Independence? Destroy this and all is lost; preserve it and the political rights, civil privileges, industrial opportunities be taken away for the time, they will all be regained. Kind reader, understand by the development of manhood on the part of the Negro, nothing is farther from our thought than the inculcation of that pugnacious, defiant disposition which vents itself in wild ejaculations and impotent screaming against the evils of society. We mean the full appreciation of essential human qualities and claims, and the firm, unyielding determination to press forward to the highest mark possible and not to be severed from its pursuit by doubt, denial, danger, rebuff, ridicule, insult and contemptuous treatment. Negroes of Colorado you may not have it within your power to resist or overcome these things, but you must preserve the integrity of your own souls. Courge age and self-confidence have won many magnificent victories for others and why if applied aright will it not win for us? The Star calls attention to the fact that first class pictures will again be shown at the Crescent Theatre at Five Points. Mr. Lowies has resumed charge and a square deal for every body is assured all. Watch the Star for the attractions. The Star likes to see the get-together spirit as is being exemplified in the place on 25th St. They have our own medical physician who has lectured them on "first aid" remedies and we understand that all our professional men and women will be given a chance to come before them and enlighten them in some particular helpful line in which they are actively engaged. Such associations bring confidence and faith in our own people when they know things can be done by the actual doing of the thing itself. Already the Y. W. C. A. has been a tremendous blessing.

He took a van load of furniture. Mr. O. U. Bray, who spent his two week vacation in Denver visiting his parents and sister, returned home Thursday. 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 mental 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 we 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?

The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People has been much concerned over the recent burning of buildings and other evidences of violence in northern Georgia, and it sent a special investigator to that region, who drove through four counties of the Piedmont section of the state and has returned with a most interesting report on conditions there. The full details will appear later in the Crisis, the official organ of the association, but we are privileged to give an advance notice of the results. Three years ago the poor whites of two Georgia counties, Dawson and Forsyth, both of them in the Cracker region and not traversed by railroads, expelled all the colored people in those counties. Negroes were given from one to ten days to leave and lost most of their property. Not a Negro has been allowed to enter these counties from that day to this. The more reputable people of the region regret this very much now, as they have found the absence of colored people has resulted not only in great inconvenience, but in serious financial loss. The association's investigator believes that when railroads are built through these counties and new people and capital move in there will be a change in the attitude toward colored people, but because of the remoteness and sparse population of the region an immediate change can hardly be hoped for. Recently in the adjoining county of Hall there have been attempts to expel colored people, but the well to do of this county, realizing how much Dawson and Forsyth suffered from their mistaken policy, decided to take a stand against the lawless elements among the poor whites, and the attempt to drive the Negro out of Hall county was nipped in the bud. There seems no likelihood of any further harm to them here. Gainesville, a thriving town, is the county seat of this county. Cherokee county, which adjoins Dawson and Forsyth to the west, has just been the scene of serious trouble. Near Canton, the county seat, the large barns of one Gus Corgins, a wealthy white horse and cattle dealer, who employs large numbers of colored people, were burnt to the ground, with a loss of $50,000, and other barns and buildings owned by white employers of colored people have also been destroyed. The matter is complicated by the stealing of horses and mules in some of these barns, and it has been surmised that some rufians have taken advantage of the anti-Negro agitation to steal and rob. There is no doubt, however, that some of the poor whites had decided to make Cherokee "white," like Dawson and Forsyth, and had begun a campaign of violence and intimidation to carry out their desire. The matter was nipped in the bad here, too, by quick action on the part of the authorities and the more reputable citizens of the county. The governor has issued a proclamation offering rewards for the discovery of the offenders, and there is no likelihood that the colored people of the county will be further molested. The serious economic results in Dawson and Forsyth counties have frightened the well to do residents of neighboring counties, and they do not intend to allow a similar state of affairs to harass their own neighborhoods. The association is keeping careful watch of the situation, and its investigator is ready to return to this region immediately if any further trouble should oc Boston, see 22.

HARRIS FOREIGN MISSION BOARD. Baptists to Honor Dr. L. G. Jordan by Raising Special Fund. Religious organizations of the Baptist denomination throughout the country will have an opportunity to show their interest in foreign mission work in a practical way on the second Sunday in February by making a special contribution to the work through the foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention. The occasion for this special missionary effort arises from the fact that Sunday, Feb. 13, marks the twentieth anniversary of the services of the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan as the corresponding secretary of the foreign mission board of the national Baptist convention. In recognition of the long, honorable and faithful services of Dr. Jordan as the board's corresponding secretary the national Baptist convention at its session held in Chicago in September, 1915, passed the following resolution: Whereas Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., has served the foreign mission board as corresponding secretary for quite twenty years; therefore, be it resolved that on Feb. 13, 1916, the anniversary of his election be made a special day for raising money to complete the Bible and Industrial academy at Grand Bassa, West Coast, Africa, which building when finished will complete. Be it further resolved that the foreign mission board be and is hereby authorized to effect such plans as will enable all churches of the national Baptist convention to take part in this offering. All monkeys so raised to be used in the completion of the above named building, dedicated for preaching, teaching and home of our missionary workers. In order to fittingly carry out the spirit and purpose of the resolution the foreign mission board makes the following request: First, that every Baptist church on Sunday, Feb. 13, give 25 cents for each of the twenty years Dr. Jordan has served; second, that each Sunday school give 5 cents for each of the twenty years Dr. Jordan has served; that each of the women's missionary societies give 10 cents for each of the twenty years Dr. Jordan has served us and that each individual who receives a personal letter give 1 cent for each year of Dr. Jordan's labors as corresponding secretary. The Baptist Young People's unions are also requested to co-operate heartily in this movement. The denomination looks to the young people for intelligent and efficient service, as it is through the young folks in organized bodies and as individuals that the future progress of the race and the church depend. This appeal of the board is a worthy one and should meet the approval of every loyal member of the various organizations to which it is addressed. Every cent of the money raised on this occasion will be devoted to the work of foreign missions. The board is located at 701 South Nineteenth street, Philadelphia. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE TO HOLD BIG CELEBRATION Boston Branch Will Honor Lincoln and Douglass Sunday, Feb. 13. The Greater Boston branch of the National Equal Rights league is preparing an elaborate program for the Lincoln-Douglass celebration, to be held under its auspices at the Twelfth Street Baptist church, Boston, on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 13. At the January meeting of the league the suggestion was made and acted upon to hold a great national centenary celebration in honor of Frederick Douglass on Feb. 14, 1917, and the colored people throughout the country were invited to co-operate in the movement and arrange suitable programs for the occasion in the various large cities in every section of the United States. The committee in charge of the Boston celebration for Feb. 13 consists of the following well known persons: Mrs. William Bray, Mrs. J. G. Street; Mrs. F. J. Anderson, W. Monroe Trotter, Fred Brooks, W. H. Jackson, Mrs. M. Gibson, Rev. Dr. M. W. Thornton, E. T. Morris, H. A. Smith, Mrs. M. T. Steward, Mrs. R. H. Hunter, S. D. Weems, Mrs. M. E. Elliott and J. A. Crawford. FOR RHEUMATISM As soon as an attack of Rheumatism begins apply Sloan's Liniment. Don't waste time and suffer unnecessary agony. A few drops of Sloan's Liniment on the affected parts is all you need. The pain goes at once. A grateful sufferer writes: "I was suffering for three weeks with Chronic Rheumatism and Stiff Neck, although I tried many medicines, they failed. Fortunately I heard of Sloan's Liniment and after using it three or four days am up and well. I am employed at the biggest department store in S. F. where they employ from six to eight hundred hands, and they surely will hear all about Sloan's Liniment.—H. B. Smith, San Francisco, Cal.—J. 1915. 25c at all Druggists.

You cannot use anything better for your child's cough and cold than Dr. King's New Discovery. It is prepared from Pine Tar mixed with healing and soothing balsams. It does not contain anything harmful and is slightly laxative, just enough to expel the poisons from the system. Dr. King's New Discovery is antiseptic—kills the cold germs—raises the phlegm—loosens the cough and soothes the irritation. Don't put off treatment. Coughs and Colds often lead to serious lungtroubles. It is also good for adults and the aged. Get a bottle today. All Druggists. Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Did you see your Savior's Holy Grace, As He held forth His arms to welcome you, And your spirit faint to His bosom drew? Or did you see some loved one there, who had crossed before you the stream so fair? Or did it mean, "Loved ones, goodby, 'Til we meet again in that home on high?'" Mrs. Chas. Monroe, Mrs. Sarah L. Smith, 2249 Lafayette. Keep off this date, Feb. 14th, Val- entine party at Fern Hall. DON'T SCOLD FRETFUL CHILDREN That nervousness, fretting and restlessness is no doubt caused by worms or constipation. Instead of whipping or scolding, give your child a treatment of Kickapoo Worm Killer, Nice candy confections that kill the worms and are laxative enough to move the boysels and expel not only the worms but accumulated poisons. These poisons and worms bring on fever, make children nervous and irritable, reduce their vitality and make them victims of sickness.

Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty God to call from labor to rest, our beloved grandmother of Sister Evangeline Hall. We, the members of Howard Juveniles No. 3, extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and commend you to our Heavenly Father that doeth all things well. The toll is very long and I am tired; Oh, Father I am weary of the way! Give me that rest I have so long desired; Bring me that Sabbath's cool refreshing day. And let the fever of my world-worn feet Press the cool smoothness of the golden street. Tired, very tired! and I at times have seen. When the far pearly gates were open thrown; For those who walked no more with me, the green. Sweet foliage of the trees that there alone. At last wave over those whose world- worn feet Press the cool smoothness of the golden street. We recommend that a copy of these resolution of condolence be sent to the family and to be recorded in our record book, and one to be published.

Church—Episcopal Honors Urged For Dr. W. Sampson Brooks of St. Louis. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Philadelphia.—The general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, to be held in this city in May, will, no doubt, be the largest religious gathering of any among our people during 1910. The occasion will not only be notable because of the important business which the denomination must transact, but also because it will mark the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the A. M. E. church by that fearless advocate of justice and liberty, Richard Allen. The progress of the denomination along all lines will be a special feature of the reports to be submitted by the various churches and conferences in America and abroad. The denomination has in its ranks scores of able ministers who have achieved success as organizers, financiers and leaders along other distinct lines of religious ad- DE W. SAMPSON BROOKS DR. W. SAMPSON BROOKS. vancement. From among such men the conference will make its selection of bishops and department heads. The denomination is fortunate in that it has many young men who have proved their worth by the work which they have done as ministers and laymen. One of the first in this connection who have risen on merit alone is the Rev. William Sampson Brooks, D. D., minister of the St. Paul A. M. E. church, St. Louis. The Rev. Dr. Brooks spent seven years in study at the Centenary Biblical institute, now Morgan college, Baltimore, from which he graduated in theology in 1802. He continued his studies in the collegiate department to the end of his sophomore year. Studious from a boy, Dr. Brooks has ever kept abreast of the times. His active career as a minister began at Minneapolis, Minn., where at intervals for six years he was in charge of the A. M. E. church of that city. While serving as minister of St. Stephen's church Dr. Brooks was elected as delegate to the world's Sunday school convention, held at Jerusalem, representing the A. M. E. church. Before returning from abroad Dr. Brooks traveled through the British isles. Norway. Sweden and other parts of Europe. He did research work in the Swedish language, a good working knowledge of which he had before going abroad. Dr. Brooks' ministry at the A. M. E. church in Des Moines also met with great success. His influence as a preacher became widely felt. At this period of his ministry he was sent by the presiding bishop to the St. Paul A. M. E. church at Nashville. Tenn.. where he added many persons to the church and raised large sums of money. Quite to his surprise while at Nashville, the congregation of St. Paul's church in St. Louis was watching his career. The church was struggling under a heavy debt and needed a man of Dr. Brooks' ability at its head. Bishop Parks selected Dr. Brooks for the St. Louis church. The indebtedness was $14,000. On taking charge of St. Paul's church, in St. Louis, where he still presides, he reorganized the membership and on May 5, 1912, raised $5,000, and on May 19, 1913, the congregation raised $7,541.85. The church debt was paid, and the congregation took on new life amid great rejoicing. Dr. Brooks' large circle of friends throughout the country have presented his name as a candidate for Episcopal honors at the coming general conference, to be held in Philadelphia in May, and it is believed that he will be chosen as one of the bishops of the church by the delegates to the conference. In the selection of Dr. Brooks as blishop the church will be stow upon him an honor which he has merited and one which he richly deserves. Dispreved. The Investigator—Naw, the world ain't round!

The enactment of unjust laws never rights a wrong nor adds to the peace and happiness of the people of a community. Justice and fair play are the only means of permanent peace between nations, races or individuals, says N. B. Dodson. In a republic like ours the same law should be applied to all of its citizens alike. If those in authority in nation, state or municipalities would follow the idea of the aim of government more and think less of self promotion, greater good would accrue from their efforts.

DENVER SENDS FORTH ANOTHER BUSINESS WOMAN. Fifteen years ago, little did Denver think that she would send forth into the world of competition five very clear-headed business women, who would delve deeply into Nature's profoundest secrets in scalpology and scientific research in the care of the hair and spread their gospel over the entire United States. First came the pioneer, hustling Mme. T. D. Perkins, then the matchless Mme. C. J. Walker, followed by the pleasing and progressive Mme. DeNeal; then the quiet and painstaking Mrs. E. Williams, whose recent trip thoroly established her into the business world and last and by no means' the least, Mrs. Jessie Carter, who has struggled and worked herself into prominence wherein many of her customers in Dallas, Fort Worth and Dennison, Texas, as well as in Muskogee and Boley, Okla., demanded that she come to these places and demonstrate and teach the art and show the success of her wonderful growing "Uno-U-C" Oil. In response to the call and in quest of serving many more people, Mrs. Jessie Carter left Saturday night on her Southern trip to Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama and Louisiana. Denyer is proud of her aggressive business-like women, who dare try and succeed. Colorado is teaching men that sex lends no impediments to success. Go on, worthy women, Colorado and Denver is proud of you. We have our eyes on you; we sorrow at your temporary failures and losses and rejoice with you at your success.
