TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 124
What A Socialist Thinks of "Birth of a Nation."
YOU READ WHAT THE JUDGE SAID. WHICH?
native land by white slave-traders whom it were flattery to call brutes, until the last law disfranchising them in the south was put into effect and the last "Jim crow" car put into commission to attest their standing as live stock, the whole history of the Negro race is one of shameless exploitation and degradation, for which the white race can never atone in time nor eternity. If the black people today could tell their story about "The Birth of a Nation," it would be replete with scenes infinitely more cruel and damning than those based upon Dixon's novel and flashed upon the screen to conceal the white man's crimes behind the Negro's misfortune.
The Ku Klux Klan are glorified in these pictures as spot less knights, the personification of chivalry and honor, and the audience applauds madly as they dash to the rescue of some imaginary white victim of a black rascal, all care is taken not to portray any of the outrages perpetrated upon defenseless, unoffending Negroes by these same lawless night riders.
The pictures showing the scenes about the polling places on election day, under Negro domination, are especially calculated to subject the Negro to ridicule and contempt, and the white audience never tails to attest its appreciation by its sneers and cheers.
It's true such election scenes with their black sluggers and their sodden corruption are disgraceful and revolting, but how much more disgraceful and revolting are they than the election scenes which have occured in and about Terre Haute during the last few years, scenes in which the sluggers were white, instead of black, and insulted white ladies instead of black wenches; scenes unspeakably low and vile as everyone will admit, who bore witness to them. How would it do to make pictures of some of these and travel through the south with them, flashing them upon a screen to show the Negroes in that section what an eminently respectable thing an election is when dominated by white men and by what pure and incorruptible methods the will of the people is expressed in a civilized white community?
If the white race has demonstrated its "superiority" in any one thing, it is in its politics and elections, and if Negroes should be disfranchised, the evident purpose of their disgraceful conduct at the polls, then by the same token white men should also (Continued on page 4.)
Terre Haute, Ind.,—Eugene V. Debs, the noted Socialist, had the following to say in a rather extended article in the Post published here last Saturday on "The Birth of a Nation":
Editor Post: The merits of this spectacular drama excite bitter comment whenever it is presented. There is no question that it is a wonderful production, that many of its scenes are tense and thrilling, and that there is much in the play to approve and commend but if the author's studied pur pose was to insult the black race and to revive and intensify the bitter prejudices which grew out of the war, he could not have better succeeded and it would be passing strange if the colored people did not protest against certain shocking features of the drama as doing them and their race grossest injustice.
If it be absolutely essential to the play to present those harrowing rape-scenes, then why not round them out in their historic completeness and show the dissolute son of the plantation owner ravishing the black daughter before her parents' eyes?
For every white woman raped in the south by a black fiend, a thousand black women have been seduced and outraged by white gentlemen (?) but no hint of this is given in the series of pictures composing "The Birth of a Nation." It is only the black brute that is guilty according to this and all other stories written about the author who also calls himself a minister of Christ.
There are four million mulattoes in this country, most of whom were born out of wedlock and all of whom have a white father or grandfather, and these white gentlemen (?) are ready to fight at the drop of the hat for "white supremacy" and against "nigger equality."
The pretended reverence for Lincoln in the play does not at all square with the facts of history. Lincoln was hated with a savage hate by the slave owners of the south, and it was this ferocious hate that culminated in his assassination, and the reverence now shown him on the stage is a convenient mask behind which the same blind hate may vent itself upon the offending Negro.
Let it not be overlooked that all our histories have been written by white men and that Negroes had no hand in them. They simply had to take what was given them, but even at that there is no denying the fact that from the time the Negroes were first stolen from their
The Negro in Colorado is politically sick; he has been doctored in the past ten years by quack political doctors who yearly go thru the same procedure "organizing clubs," getting list of names of persons to be used as workers for a day or two, carry and pledge them to their bosses, and if they will recognize "them and their club" by giving "them" a few dollars for "organization work" they will deliver the balance of the unsigned Negroes to them. Then comes the meetings at the churches, dances at the halls, ice cream frosts at the prominent homes, and white politicians who thus address you, see the trick and hold YOU cheap. SHAME ON YOU. A race which will yearly perform such stunts or allow such to be performed upon them, deserve only messengerships. The election comes and its aftermath quickly crystallizes and follows, office seekers are told to "see your leader" whom we gave so much money for your people, in other words, Whom We Bought. Are not these the facts and have not you experienced the like? What are you going to do about it this year? The Star can only sound the alarm and warn you of the dangerous consuming fire, it is up to the people to put the fire out, or else it will burn itself out and the Negro race mean nothing to Denver or Colorado, because the leaders whom you have trusted with your confidence so often have failed to stand straight, either thru ignorance or deception. Scarcely eight weeks have passed since the time the Denver Negroes needed leaders and organized bodies to fight, incur the wrath and opposition of the white men seeking to oppress us by humiliation and disgrace. Where was this ambitious crowd? There was no chance to peacock, strut and sell out then, but the impending crisis needed real men and women to do and dare, whose very souls, manhood and womanhood were tried in the furnace of race hate and opposition. Who flinched from the job? Were our leaders too busy at janitor jobs, running messages or cooking potatoes to even give the Negro at that time attention? We are to again face a crisis, just as important to the race as the one the Birth of a Nation presented. Men in important public places will palliate, excuse, explain and say you ought to for give, shut our eyes to this and that, but when that occurs, you mark that man down as a traitor, no matter who he is or what position he holds. Two messengers, without solicitation on the part of the public, have diagnosed the political problem and they have saved the situation for you by having a "jim crow" Ass't. County Central Committee (which only means that they will attempt to handle some money to be spent among Negroes); that appoints ward chairmen and precinct committeemen to do what? To elect Marse Carlson into office. Has that solved the problem of Negroes receiving regular representative political recognition in the future? Has not Marse Carlson by his actions, spoken plainly enough to you as to what he will do if, elected? Don't you see you are limited, handicapped and restrained before you begin the race? How can you, or you, or you get a better job than your leader who sold you to the bosses? Don't you see that you must break the shell, use some unconserved and un discovered force, energy and brain power in the people hitherto unknown and unsought? No Negro knows what he
LENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, FEB. 26, 1916
can do until he is forced to do his best and in doing that he calls to his command every ounce of blood he is capable of utilizing. When you see and know there are old rotten planks in a place, whose worthlessness you are freely conversant with, would you keep on selecting that rotten timber for a trestle over which thousands of people would pass or upon which they must depend? Common sense would forbid that selection, then why, should Negroes be less considerate of their own interests, keep still and swallow the pill made and planned for them by men who are incompetent and have woefully failed in the past? What can you expect? How long will you organize, vote and get nothing? Go up the hill and march down empty handed. So organize, vote and then vote and organize all you please but unless the proper people are at the head under wise guidance and keen experience you'll never solve the difficulty. Cannot you see that the problem needs a fundamental handling, and a scientific treatment of this special chronic political illness; that you must first break your own limitations by breaking the shell which limits and binds you to interior things. Get the patient in good company and healthy surroundings. Create new ideals in our men and their ideas will crystallize in new actions, habits, characters and destiny. FIRST seek the KINGDOM and its righteousness, and ALL things will be added. A healthy atmosphere for growth is necessary and not that jim crow political county central committee, with ward chairmen and precinct committeemen. The situation needs real honest men and women, capable and experienced, whose intentions, plans and purposes are to do the right thing, job or no job. Then a careful systematic discussion of fundamentals of social science of which politics is but a part and when we discover certain causes, certain unhealthy conditions, certain obstacles of selfish self-centered importance, we can eliminate the unwholesome parts without destroying the good parts. We must not only have numbers, organizations and brains, but we must have coupled with all of these virtues honesty, integrity and a square deal for the people.
IN TIMES LIKE THESE, GOD GIVE US MEN.
There are 15,000 Negro voters in this state, 5,000 voters in Denver, and if they lined up with the Jews or Italians, these classes could wield a tremendous power. Instead of combining our incompetent leaders in the past have blindly led them into a trap. Think of 15,000 Negroes who have sorrows, trials, troubles, joys, pains and pleasures, who must be daily housed, be fed, and who get hungry and must work with hands or brains or starve, and our self-opinionated leaders have yearly forced the political problem and have given no solution whatever until today we have been reduced to messengers only. Some of the aspiring Negroes have organized regularly and sporadically for years under the leadership of these same self-elected, self-centered ambitious men, who appear only at election times. Elections have come and gone, candidates who you have been urged to support have been kept in office on your suffrage, but what has been the actual outcome? Be honest, what sad story do theacts tell? Janitor jobs and messengerships came from these successful candidates, as a recognition of the race whose progress and sufferings in the past 50 years in America has been unparalleled. The Democrats gave a watchmanship to one of their supporters, something worthy of his ability and merit, because he asked for it and staved on the job until he got it. Under Gov. Carlson, even this job was taken away. Are messengerships all that colored leaders have asked for?
The Star gave notice last June that it will never silently stand by and see Negroes organized, "bring the bacon home" successfully and then let some white politician pay HIS political or friendship debt to some "good grinning Negro tool" to whom he is privately indebted, at the expense of the organized Negroes, especially where, until recently, "good Negroes who carry tales to their masters," do not belong to nor associate with, nor work for the organization that put his boss in the job. The Star refuses to swallow the plan of allowing some professional office seekers by getting some indorsements of some white politicians to come in and grab plums rightfully belonging to others
FIVE CENTS A COPY.
A HOPEFUL SIGN.
N. A. A. C. P. Gets Busy and Discovers Itself.
Although the local N. A. A. C. P. composed of men and women of brain and ability, which had one of the most successful and inspiring Lincoln-Douglass celebrations at Nippon hall last Wednesday week, did not rush to the daily newspapers for notoriety, attempting to herald an alleged leadership among Negroes, yet the meeting easily proved it self to be of the most inspiring, self-searching and benefiting type ever witnessed in Denver. Those who were there know how their hearts yearned for a larger audience so that the gospel truths and vital facts as they fell from the lips of the speakers might be thoroughly scattered to the four winds of the earth. It was there evidenced that a tremendous unreserved power, knowledge and influence for good, hitherto unknown and undiscovered was laying dormant in our men and women.
Father Brown, who up until this time, was practically a stranger to the Negro common folk of Denver, came out in a speech ringing with truthful facts and pointed suggestions as to our welfare and progress. Efficiency was his keynote. Try it and if you cannot make good or deliver the goods, make room was his central thought. Then came Rev. D. E. Over who had not taken part in many public activities of this nature and with sledge hammer blows clearly, plainly and unmistakenly pointed out to the Negro his needs in this community. He handled the subject without gloves and gave the N. A. A. C. P. just what the Negro of Denver needs to understand, the truth—bare unvarnished facts. Again efficiency was emphasized. He dealt with the conditions scientifically. Now people of Denver and Colorado we are living in a scientific age where men and women do things by studied methods and systems calling science to aid those efforts. The N. A. A. C. P. composed of the best brain power in Denver holds as a sacred trust the careful and painstaking study of the Negroes social and economic conditions in Denver and Colorado. Let that august body fairly and honestly diagnose the political conditions showing to the public where the damaging causes and pernicious forces have wrecked our interests. Let them search out, dig deep and bring facts and true conditions So That the People May Know and in other words let them discover themselves.

There was a great crowd present last Sunday morning to hear the message of Governor Carlson, and those who came expecting an unusual address were not disappointed. The governor's subject was "Christian Citizenship," which presented in no uncertain way the duty of citizens to unite to give assistance in the enforcement of the prohibitory laws. Eloquence, earnestness and passion of utterance determined the delivery of the address, which was greatly enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience.
The Pulpit Aid Circle gave a Leap Year social last week at the home of Sister Ida King, which was novel and delightful in its entertaining features.
On the evening of the first Sunday the Young People's Chorus will render a song service in lieu of the regular program. The audience is certain to be delighted.
The Men's Bible class is manifesting exceptional interest in the course of lessons being given this season. Lesson leaflets are distributed each week for home study. The men are getting into the truth. Every man is welcome. The hour is Tuesday at 8 p. m.
The Women's Bible class meets at 2:30 on Thursday afternoon. The attendance is evidence that the women are receiving profit. Every woman in the community should endeavor to get into the meetings. The studies cover the life of Christ.

A. at the evening hour. The Y. W. C. A. will turn out in a body and a brief program will be rendered in connection with the sermon. At the close of our pastor's sermon last Sunday, the following persons united with Shorter: Mrs. O. W. Glenn, little Myra Glenn and Vernon Green, who accepted Christ as his Savior. The Allen C. E. League held forth in the evening and the participants, Mrs. A. M. Ward, Miss Victoria Parker and Messrs. Herbert Williams and E. J. Norris, simply lifted their audience out of its boots with their splendid renditions. The senior choir was on hand to make its contribution toward the delightfulness of the hour. Good for Mr. Brown and the league.
The Stewardess Board and Sewing Circle held interesting meetings last week at the residences of Mrs. Alice Campbell and Mrs. Anna Hicks, and in each case the entertainment called forth its meed of praise. Plans for a "better baby's contest" were completed, and Thursday evening, April 20, was the date set for this popular affair. Watch for ad for details.
Bishop J. Albert Johnson, resident bishop of South Africa, and without almost an exception the finest preacher of the race, will arrive in Denver March 16 for a two-weeks' visit to the state. While here he will preach and deliver his celebrated lecture on Africa (illustrated) in Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Boulder. This will afford a rare opportunity to get first-hand information about conditions in the Dark Continent.

An unusually interesting program under the auspices of the Sabbath School was rendered last Sabbath evening in lieu of the regular evening services. The papers read were very pointed. The occasion being "Vocation Day," every scholar was given an opportunity to declare his life's mission. Let us pray for the realization of their ideal. Mesdames Mattie Wilson and Bertha Brooks are to be commended for their interest in the work of the school as superintendents.
Y. W. C. A
Perhaps one of the most interesting meetings ever held by the W. W. C. A. was the one held Monday evening when Mrs. Platt, of University Park, read to the club. She chose sketches from Tennyson's "Idyls of the King." Mrs. Platt is exceedingly interesting in that she is thoroughly familiar with the poem. The characters are her personal friends and she makes everyone see them just as she does. The only unpleasant part was when she was forced to stop, because her time was limited.

FREEDMEN'S HYMN.
Mrs. Fields-Gay Voices Gratitude of Race For Blessings of Liberty.
Mrs. Catherine Fields-Gay of Hampton, Va., has written the words and music for the "Freedmen's Hymn," which was recently sung at the emancipation celebration by the Hampton institute choir, under the direction of R. Nathaniel Dett. The stanzas of the hymn follow:
Freed by thy gracious hand
From slavery's dismal thrall,
I wait thy word or thy command
To gladly render all—
All which my powers control
To spread abroad thy name,
To show thy work as manifold
And set each heart afame.
With ardor for thy praise,
Let all the welkin ring,
While freedmen, as their voices raise,
Their thankful worship bring.
Great God, we sing thy praise
For thy redeeming hand,
For the great arm which these didst raise
And freed a darkened land.
And de thou still defend
Us to our rights as men.
Restore, protect, and to the end
Thy will be mine. Amen.

congregation moved into the beautiful
Chapel of St. Saviour, given by August
Belmont as one of the seven Chapels
of the Tongues at the cathedral of St.

in this anctent city, has been crowned
the “Dollar Money King” of Florida,
and while he is not » presiding elder
he has the honor of leading all the pre-
aiding elders in Florida in this partica-

have united in asking that he be ele
vated to the episcopacy because of his
worth to the chureh and race.
Greenville, Madison connty, this
state, bas the distinction of furnishing
this noted churchman to bis race and
the A. M. E. denomination, His birth
dates back to Dee. 18, 1860. Like
many great men, he wax born on the
farm and spent bix early Ufe as a
farmer boy. When but a lad be wax
able to do the work of a man and had
the confidence and love of all the peo-
ple in the community
He commenced bis school life In the
public achools {n the county and town
of his birth, making rapid progress,
Dut was forced to Ieave school in order
to help to take care of his mother, bia
father having died when young Brooks
was thirteen months old. He was «
polite, studious and industrigue boy
and sbowed signs of individual self
control, But this young man did not
lose sight of the fact that he would
have to prepare for the higher things
in life which he craved and took every
advantage of every opportunity to get
an education.
It wax not long before Mr. Brooks
wax recognized as a diligent student
in the community, and at the age of
uineteen years be accepted x achool,
thus starting out in public Hfe as a
schoolteacher. He was teaching and
preaching at the same time,
‘The Rev. Mr. Brooks was adinitted
into membership in the conference in
Florida at Gainesviite in 1890, bnt wax
not given an assigninent until 1891.
The Boardman mission was the first
charge he served, where he remained
one year, and from there was, in 1892,
assigned to Ybor City mission, Florida,
which Is not far from Tampa, He
founded Allen temple at ‘Tampa and
wax soon afterward promoted by Pre-
siding Elder Rev. J. W. Duke to the
Cedanty elreuit, and in 1804 he was as.
signed to (he Micanopy circuit. ‘The
Rey. Dr. Brook becime minister of
the Bethel A. M. E. church at Key
West in 1806, His ministry of four
years at the Mount Olive church, Jack.

persons to the membership, $6,000 for
the trustees’ fund and $4,000 for the
stewanla’ board.
Ata most remarkable meeting held
during Dr, Brooks’ stay at Key West
308 persons accepted Chriet and Joined
the church. He tx well known through:
out this state ax a man of high Chrts-
tlan character, whose good Influence
seems to pervade the community tn
which he lives. He has done a great
work for the denomination in Florida
and I a loyal agvocate of racial ad-
Vanicement. Several church edifices
have been erected under hix muper-
viston, which reflect credit upon the
members and place Dr. Brooks in the
front rank as an organizer and finan-
cler.
‘The Rey. Dr. Brooks recently recetv-
ed ansurances of support by unanimous
vote from the Georgia delegation to
the general conference, and — hits
chances for elevation to the episcopacy
are bright. While he is very modest
about the matter, his achievements
and general worth to the denomination
compel recognition. Should Dr. Brooks

tion in this section of the south will

Hampton Wins Basketball Game.
Hampton. Vi.—As # part of the ex-
ercises of Tudian citizenship day. whieh
is celebrated each year by the Hamp-
ton Andiaus in memory of Senator
Dawes. whose untiring efforts cave to
the Indians the rights of an American
citizen. « great game of basketball
was receutly played at the Hampton
institute and witnessed by about 1,400
enthusiastic followers of the sport.
It was fitting that the quintets
should be of the two institutions that
are helping the Indiau in a large way
toa fuller realization of the true mean-
ing of citizenship. The contest was
the first of tis kind between Cartisle
and Hampton. so it was looked for-
ward to with great interest.
No team ever received a heartier
welcome than did Carlisle. As they
came © the floor they were greeted
“with songs and yells which gave the
-oceasion «a favor that will be long re-
‘membered. ‘The sound of the referee's
whistle started a game that was filled
with sensational shooting, passing and

The Weautif. floor work of the Car

of Batpton. Cariisie started the scor-
ing, but Hampton took the leud just
before the end of the first half, which
ended 1} to 12 in their favor. The

In thinking of something to write about this week I want to write of something to think about, and in casting around for material, I can think of nothing so timely as writing about the signs of the times. Some people turn up their noses at signs and others turn up their toes for paying no attention to them. I believe in signs more or less, especially such signs as stand out as plain as freckles on a pretty girl's nose. Whenever you see a few self-constituted, self-selected, self-elected leaders meeting in the back end of barber shops with the curtains down, with a bouncer at the doors, it's a sure sign that they are hatching up a scheme to corral the colored voters and to sell them to the highest bidder who will give them a job.
Whenever you are met by professional politicians who make their living by politics and they invite you to join some organization at which they are the head and promise you money, jobs and everything the devil promised the Savior, to come and vote with them, it's a sure sign that they are not working for the good of the colored people, but are only trying to use the colored voters under disguise to further their own selfish ends.
Whenever you see candidates for office swinging around the circle of our "meetin' houses," talking politics to our people, it's a sure sign that they take only spasmodic interest in us. All the time before they sit in their comp portable offices of power and read the newspapers daily of the lynching and burning of innocent men, women and children and the destruction of their homes, school house and churches and there is not a word of sympathy, not a line of protest about the violation of the laws of the land. But when some colored man violates the prohibition law we are told that we must do as we did in slavery, tell Mass John up at the big house that Sam stole a ham of meat, thus making a race of "snitchers" of us when they hire men and pay them for doing police duty, it's a sure sign that all such politicians think we have no integrity and self-respect and that we are easily duped to allow them to ride again on us into office.
Whenever you see a woman coming down the street with her skirt "slashed" to the knee and no petticoat on, it's a sign that the poor female has had a row with Madam Modesty and split her frock so she can run faster and get to perdition quicker.
Whenever you see society turning up its nose at a girl who has gone wrong, and is receiving into the front parlor the scoundrel who accomplished her ruin, it's a sign that such society needs reconstructing by having its hypcritical inside drenched with a solution of castile soap and carbolic acid.
I could go on in this fashion indefinitely, citing signs that are significant of things. People don't need consult Sihyllian books to study the signs of the times, the signs are everywhere evident, they are in our homes, around our firesides, in our churches, on the highways and in the byways. They manifest themselves in our court houses, in politics and in our business. They show through the pale countenance of the poor and idle; they reveal themselves through the wanton extravagance of those who pass more money than manhood, or common sense. They are manifested in the grinding, restless state of society the world over. Now, the question is, Will we face the avalanche and let the devil take the hindmost man? What shall we do to be saved? That's the all-consuming and burning question? Every yellow has a remedy, but I think they are all shooting wild. What we need more than anything else is "heart tonic," something that will stimulate our honesty and paralyze our selfishness and hate. Something that will put the love of God in our hearts and the fear of the devil before our eyes. Yes, heart tonic is the only remedy. It will teach meckness and forgiveness and create within the spirit of friendship. We've got to get right within and political straddling, political bossism and political theories, policies and platforms andisms have no more to do with men's honesty than binding pancakes on the bottom of a man's feet will satisfy him when he is hungry.
Since wet goods and whisky are dead issues, let us campaign for a stock of heart tonic.

OUT-OF-TOWN DOINGS
Pueblo, Colo., Feb. 20, 1916. One of the most brilliant affairs of the season took place last Wednesday evening when Mrs. Thomas Tisdale and Mrs. Herman Norman entertained at cards at the home of the former. The house was beautifully decorated with ferns, snap-dragons, daisies and carnations. A huge basket of snap-dragons, from which extended pink and white tulle to four small baskets, formed an attractive centerpiece on the dining table. The color scheme of pink and white was artistically carried out.
Cards were enjoyed at seven tables. The prizes being awarded to Mrs. Harry Fife, ladies' prize; Mr. Percy Laurence, men's prize, and Mrs. Samuel Johnson, consolation prize. A dainty luncheon was enjoyed by the mellow glow of forty pink shaded tappers.

BISHOP CONDEMNS CRIME.
Conner of Little Rock, Ark., Makes Plea For Legal Protection.
Bishop J. M. Conner of Little Rock, Ark., in calling to order the fifty-first annual session of the Louisiana African Methodist Episcopal conference, which met recently at New Orleans, said the white ministers of the south had failed to do their duty toward the Negro, because they could. If they would, in the name of God, stop the unlawful shedding of Negro blood by lawless mobs, and he urged the ministers of the conference to appeal to them.
"We have been appealing to the better class of white people for a long time," he said. "and now we must appeal to the ministers who represent Jesus Christ. We go to them in the spirit of Christ. The white people make the law, construe the law and execute the law, and they should be able to protect the men they arrest, give them trials and if guilty punish them by law.
"We do not condone crime. We want Negro criminals punished and would not conceal them. We ask only for protection. We want the world to know that we stand for law and order. We are willing to render our best service to the south and in return want the south to protect us."

What a Socialist Thinks of "Birth of a Nation"
(Continued from page 1) be stripped of the ballot and driven from the polling places
The chief commercial statistics exhibited at the close of the play to show the progress made by the Negro race is but a weak attempt to excuse the wanton insults heaped upon that race. Intelligent Negroes will not be deceived. The progress they have made is mainly due to themselves. They owe little to the white race as a whole, save their exploitation and degradation. Let the colored people learn how to depend upon themselves, and to win their own way in the world. When they cut loose from the grafting politicians that use them as pawns in the political game and reward one of their number with a spittoon cleaning job in recognition of their race, and stand together; when they begin in earnest to educate themselves to develop their minds and do their own thinking, they will then command the respect of the white race and of the world, but notbefore.

ODD FELLOWS IN TROUBLE.
Fraternity In Georgia Displeased With Action of Subcommittee.
The Odd! Fellows of Georgia do not take kindly to the actions of the subcommittee of management which met not long since in Philadelphia and suspended certain officials of their number. Members of the order in Georgia met in Savaunah on Tuesday, Feb. 22. to take such action as they deem necessary for their protection.
The call for the meeting at Savannah says: Since the subcommittee of management has revoked the charter of the D. G. L. No. 18 in Georgia it has left our bureau of endowment without proper officers to care for the property. Every lodge in the state owns the property. To keep it from being destroyed by lawsuits every lodge in Georgia is hereby requested to elect one delegate to meet in the city of Savannah, Ga., Feb. 22, at 10 a. m., for the purpose of electing a board of directors to take charge and administer the property and assets belonging to district grand lodge No. 18 until such time as the subcommittee of management sees fit to rescind or modify its order of revocation.
This board is to be elected for the purpose of going into the courts March 4 to show the honorable court that the order is prepared and in position to take care of your property. The honorable superior court of Fulton county took charge and appointed receivers for our property on the ground that we had no one who was authorized to act for us. Therefore this meeting is called for the purpose of electing proper persons to take charge and administer the affairs of our endowment bureau.
Young Men In Tennessee to Organize Under the leadership of Mr. B. H January and other prominent men a meeting for the purpose of organizing a state political league, to be composed of all the young colored men of Tennessee, will be held in Nashville on Wednesday and Thursday, April 26-7. The call for the gathering specifies that only men from twenty-one to thirty-five years of age shall be eligible to membership in the league and that the promoters are working zealously to enroll at least 25,000 members by October, 1916.
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

YOUNG WOMAN OF RARE CULTURE
Career of Miss Naomi B. Spencer as an Educator.
TRAINED IN BEST SCHOOLS
Social Worker of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People Recently Appointed Placement Secretary at the Manhattan Trade School-Native of South Carolina.
Bv. N. BARNETT DODSON.
New York.-The value of a fixed aim is very fully exemplified in the brilliant and useful career of Miss Naomi B. Spencer, recently appointed to the position of placement secretary at the Manhattan Trade school in this city. Miss Spencer is a native of Charleston, S. C. She received her normal education in the schools of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and her college education at Atlanta university, from which she was graduated in 1902. Impressed with the importance of making the very best preparation for her future work in the educational field, Miss Spencer entered Howard university, where she did postgraduate work, and later studied at Columbia university. Being thus prepared, she began her career as a teacher at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute. On leaving
A
MISS NAOMI B. SPENCER.
Tuskegee she was engaged as instructor of mathematics and science at the Cheney Institute, Cheney, Pa.
Miss Spencer's work as a teacher attracted wide attention, and her services were valued highly and greatly appreciated by the institutions and students with whom she labored. She has held successful summer normals at Howard and Straight universities for the benefit of teachers of public and rural schools. In 1905 Miss Spencer taught among the Indians in Oklahoma. During the illness of Professor G. N. Gresham, principal of the high school at Kansas City, Mo., not long ago she taught the languages and psychology in that institution.
Miss Spencer became a resident of Greater New York in October, 1915, and soon afterward received an appointment by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People as a "big sister" worker among young women and girls. In this capacity she has also demonstrated unusual ability to get good results from her efforts. The plan to have Miss Spencer interview employers of girls and women in shops and factories and advise with the colored girls in the trade schools individually and in groups for the purpose of enlarging their view of the industrial field is a move in the right direction. By this personal touch with the girls it is hoped that she will develop in them greater ambition and determination to meet the conditions as they are and to persevere until they become more proficient and are considered by their employers indispensable and by their associates in their work desirable companions in labor.
She will devote some time to work in the Washington Irving high school and in co-operation with the visiting teachers of public schools that have large numbers of colored girls in attendance. She will attempt to direct those girls above the G B class who plan to leave school before graduation toward some vocational training, with a view to having them take up such lines of study as may suit their inclinations and adaptabilities.
Miss Spencer received her appointment as placement secretary at the Manhattan Trade school through the efforts and influence of the officials of the National League on Urban Conditions. This is the first instance of a young woman of our race being appointed to such a position, and the race congratulates both the league and Miss Spencer on their achievement.
Pittsburgh Odd Fellows Plan Reunion.
Two lodges of Odd Fellows-Union Western Star, No. 1515, and Bond of Love, No. 2514, Pittsburgh will hold a joint reunion of their members and friends of the order on Tuesday evening, Feb. 29. The function will take place at the Brown A. M. E. church, Northside.
OPINION AND EXPERIENCES OF HON. EDWARD EVERETT
Noted American Fought Slavery and Other Forms of Injustice.
In his address before the Colonization society at Washington, on Feb. 18, 1853, Hon. Edward Everett said: "When I lived in Cambridge a few years ago I used to attend, as one of the board of visitors, the examinations of a classical school in which was a colored boy, the son of a slave in Mississippi, I think. He appeared to be of pure African blood. There were at the same time two youths from Georgia and one of my own sons attending the same school.
"I must say that this poor Negro boy, Beverly Williams, was one of the best scholars at the school, and in the Latin language he was the best scholar in his class. There are others, I am told, which shows still more conclusively the aptitude of the colored race for every kind of intellectual culture."
While lecturing in western New York in the autumn of 1843 before the Western New York Anti-Slavery society, a mob collected at the church in Aurora, bent on giving Mr. Everett a "warm reception." It had smuggled a bag of flour into the belfry of the church, directly over the entrance door, and plans had been made to throw the whole of it over him as he passed out of the church after his lecture.
In the meantime, eggs of ancient vintage were thrown about recklessly during the lecture, and he was driven from the pulpit. On his way out he stopped in the body of the church to discuss a single point with one of the respectable rowdies. The audience became silent and he went on and spoke for over an hour. At the conclusion the lights were put out and preparations were made to "flour" him.
As the crowd surged toward the door carrying him along with it, one of the mob whispered to him: "They are going to throw a bag of flour on you. When you hear any one say, 'Let it slide!' you look out." Then he determined to have a little fun with these frisky "gentlemen." So when some of the best dressed and most respectable looking of their own company or those who had no sympathy with his mission filled up the doorway, he cried out in a disguised voice, "Let it slide!" And down came the contents of the bag, to the delight of his friend and the consternation of the mob. A quarrel ensued, and while they were settling it among themselves he and his friend quietly left the church "unfouled and unharmed."
HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN.
University Boys Drop Championship
Basketball Game, to Virginia.
The Hampton (Va.) institute basketball team won the intercollegiate championship Saturday night, Feb. 12, by its defeat of the Lincoln (Pa.) university team, 44 to 20. The game was fast and clean throughout, a fine exhibition of scientific basketball. During the first half the Hampton队 did such wonderful passing and shooting that the Lincoln队 seemed bewildered. This half ended 28 to 7 in Hampton's favor. The second half began with a dash more to the liking of the many spectators who witnessed the game. The young boys of Lincoln did splendid work, and especially spectacular was the fast dribbling of N. Young, who several times carried the ball from one end of the gymnasium to the other.
The passing and shooting of Gayle, Gurnoe and Edwards for Hampton were the features of the game. The referee was H. B. Skinner; timekeeper, R. Stoney; scorer, H. Harvey.
MEETING OF EDUCATORS.
East Tennessee Teachers' Association to Convene at Morristown April 20. The spring meeting of the East Tennessee Teachers' association will be held for three days at Morristown, Tenn., beginning on Thursday, April 20. President William J. Causer of Knoxville requests all teachers to attend the various sessions of the gathering, as there will be many topics for discussion and other matters of interest of which each teacher should have a personal knowledge. The local committee of arrangements appointed by Dr. J. S. Hill, president of the Morristown Normal college, is making ample preparation for the entertainment of teachers and visitors. The program committee has already announced the names of some of the best known and ablest speakers in the state who will take part in the proceedings.
Command Rev. B. T. Harvey's Book. The Rev. B. T. Harvey of Lakewood, N. J., has recently committed authorship, and a book, "Life's Harmony," is the result. It is a philosophical work well thought out and has evoked fine commendation from the late Booker T. Washington, who said, "I have read with very great interest and satisfaction your book, 'Life's Harmony.'" The Rev. D. Wadsworth Cannon, pastor of the First Baptist church, Cranford, N. J., said, "You have discovered the key of the most profound and philosophical subject of the age." These and other endorsements of the brilliant author's work are highly complimentary to Dr. Harvey as a writer and a thinker. The secretary of the state board of examiners for teachers' licenses, Hon. T. D. Sensor of New Jersey, and Hon. A. B. Meredith, assistant commissioner of education, also speak in praise of the work.

NOTED MEN PRAISE B. T. WASHINGTON
Meeting Held at Carnegie Hall New York.
MOTON GIVEN BIG OVATION
President of Hampton Institute First Speaker at Notable Service For Late Educator Under the Auspices of Three Great Institutions—Organized and Enthroned Here, Says Moton.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
New York.—Under the auspices of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee institute, the Hampton institute and the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People a memorial meeting in honor of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington was held at Carnegie hall in this city on Friday evening. Feb. 11. The hall was filled from pit to dome by thousands of people, white and colored, who listened attentively to eulogies of the great educator delivered by noted men of both races who knew Dr. Washington intimately.
Mr. Seth Low, chairman of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee institute, presided. Music for the occasion was rendered by a chorus from the Music School settlement, New York; a quartet from Fisk university and quintet from the Tuskegee institute. The speakers were Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of the Hampton institute; Attorney William H. Lewis of Boston, who represented the National Urban league; William R. Willcox, president of the New York board of education; James H. Dillard of the Jeanes fund and Major Robert R. Moton, who succeeds Dr. Washington as principal of the Tuskegee institute.
Major Moton received a perfect ovation on being introduced by Chairman Seth Low. Major Moton in part said:
It is entirely fitting that on the eve of the birthday of the great emancipator we should gather here reverently to pay our respects to the one who stands so pre-eminently as the most unique individual product of emancipation. Booker T. Washington's life and work alone would have justified Abraham Lincoln's ideas and actions regarding emancipation.
These remarks are in no sense intended as a eulogy, for that would be absolutely out of harmony with the life and teachings and wishes of this great leader. My hope is rather to call attention to a few of the great principles which controlled and guided his life and enabled him to perform so great and so beautiful a service for the Negro and for the nation, with the desire that we may learn therefrom some lessons and gain some inspiration that may help and encourage us for the great work which he left to us all to carry on.

P
ton institute, responded the best he knew—and he was a wise, farsearing man—to the earnest, urgent appeal of this untrained, poverty stricken black boy for a chance. He gave him, not money, not even charity as such, but he did give Booker Washington what every American, in the last analysis, deep down in his heart believes that every human being should have, an opportunity to make the most of himself, a chance equal to that of every other man. Booker T. Washington used this chance in developing in every possible way opportunities and chances for other people, whether in Alabama and the south, the isles of the seas or in Africa. He struggled that men might have a chance through Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, which he founded and for which he labored and sacrificed and to which he gave his life.
Few men in the world's history have been able to accomplish in so short a period for so large a mass of people what Dr. Washington was able to accomplish. He organized and enhearted a race, giving them a new idea of education and of life. He taught the dignity, grandeur, beauty and necessity of industry and morality as fundamental in the development of any people.
He gave the Negro people a definite place in the thought and life of the times. It was a difficult, embarrassing, foreboding race problem which he found. He left a clear, definite, hopeful race program, the letter and spirit of which, if wisely and unselfishly followed, will without doubt bring in the long run a happy, wholesome and satisfactory solution and an adjustment mutually acceptable to all concerned.
He often said, "No man, either white or black, from north or south, shall drag me down so low as to make me hate him." This, my friends, was his life's motto, and yet few men were more sensitive to unfairness or injustice. The effect of misunderstanding and prejudice is apt to appeal strongly to most people, especially those who are most keenly stung, but with Dr. Washington the underlying cause of prejudice and unfairness was of far more fundamental interest to him.
He interpreted with kindness and patience and wisdom the north to the south, the south to the north, the Negro to both and both to the Negro. He helped tremendously to make peace between races and between sections—north and south, black and white. He used every opportunity to allay factional strife and blickerings between groups of Negroes. He was truly a peacemaker.

GEMS FROM MAJOR MOTON'S SPEECH IN NEW YORK FEB. 1
Tuskegee Institute's New Principal Pleads For Closer Racial Unity.
"I hope I may be forgiven if I say a few words more directly to my own people, inasmuch as they form so large a part of the audience. I hope no one will believe that I for a moment think that I can fill Dr. Washington's place. I am earnest and humbly aware that this is well nigh impossible. It will require the combined energy and efforts of all the Negroes in America, and they will then need the co-operation and backing of the white people to carry on Dr. Washington's work, and I doubt even then whether it would be done as effectively as he did it."
"If any of us, because of weakness and fallings within our race or because of unfairness, injustice and inconvenience without or because of the color of our faces and the texture of our hair, have been hitherto lacking in appreciation of our race or have been afraid to be unmistakably identified with the Negro race, let us in the name of the God who made us forever dispel any such foolish, childish, disastrous notions."
"Let us remember, once and for always, that no race that is ashamed of itself, no race that despises itself, that tries to get away from itself, no race that does not respect, honor and love itself, can gain the confidence and respect of other races or will ever be truly great and useful."
"I believe, my friends, that you, who are heirs of the opportunities of the culture and of the wealth of ages; you, who love humanity and justice; you, who love our glorious country—I believe truly that you will see to it that the great institution through which he worked and for which he died will be maintained and operated to its fullest capacity and with greatest possible efficiency that these black boys and girls, who are sometimes called the despised and rejected children, may continue to have a chance—a chance to be trained, a chance to be educated, a chance to be efficient, a chance to be useful to their race and to their country, a chance to be decent, a chance to serve."
"Let us remember also that we are not an accursed people; that races with whiter faces have gone and are still going through difficulties infinitely more trying and embarrassing than much that faces us; that we have in this country vast opportunities for growth and development as well as for usefulness and service. We are creatures of God's most perfect handiwork, and any lack of appreciation on our part is a reflection on the great Creator."
"Though Negroes and black and though living under hampering difficulties and inconveniences, God meant that we should be just as honest, just as industrious, just as skillful, just as intelligent, just as godlike, as any human beings that walk on the face of God's earth."
"I hope and I believe that because of the life that has so recently gone out from among us that we as a people will henceforward, as never before, unselfishly work together, not thinking, not feeling and not acting always alike, but always in perfect harmony and mutual helpfulness for a great race

ADVERTISE IN THE STAR AND LOOK PROSPEROUS.
Even though you may not be prosperous, adopt as far as possible the appearance of prosperity. It is sound capital and will bring good interest in the long run. Shabby-looking people, you may have noticed, always appear apologetic and can easily be turned down when they are most in need of a helping hand. Keep a brace front. Dame Fortune likes to throw her magic cloak about the shoulders of the man or woman who looks capable of making the best of it.
MAKES A BIG HIT AMONG STRANGERS.
Colorado Springs, Colo. Feb. 16. 16'
To the Editor of the Denver Star:
Colorado Springs, Colorado, Feb. 16. To the Editor o. The Denver Star:
Dear Mr. Editor—Please allow me space in your paper to speak of a musical rendered here on last Friday evening at Trinity Baptist church by Mrs. M. E. Morrison of your city, accompanied by Mr. V. B. Spratlin. A large and appreciative audience greeted the performers. Twelve numbers, including trombone and violin selections, solos and recitations from Dunbar, was given by Mrs. Morrison; two instrumental solos by Mr. Spratlin, which were masterly rendered. We are proud of such home talent and wish to encourage them as well as let the people know through your widely circulated paper. I hope we are not too late for publication in this week's issue. Mrs. Morrison also gave a trombone solo at the Woman's Mis-St. John's Baptist church.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness, I remain yours for racial uplift.
L. L. MOORE.
Wait for the Masons, Easter Monday, at East Turner hall.

SCORES ANOTHER BIG SUCCESS.
Last Thursday night at Shorter church the Excelsior Dramatic club scored another success. "An Unconventional Surrender" was repeated to a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Will Smith, one of the leading characters of the play, left the city unexpectedly on account of the illness of his wife, causing Mrs. Jackson, the manager, a great deal of worry because of the success of the play. She managed to secure the assistance of Mr. A. Lewis, who read acted his part in a most creditable manner.
And coming from the audience were many words of praise, each character being very good; yet Mr. Jackson, as Eddie, the bell boy, was the hit of the evening.
This club plays for churches and lodges at a very low percentage. Their next play will be March 17, at Shorter church. Don't fail to see them. Mrs. J. J. Jackson, manager, 3027 Marion st.

NOTICE, BROTHERS!
The Past Grand Masters' Council
No. 118 is requested to meet at 2630
Welton street, Wednesday evening,
March 1, to celebrate Peter Ogden's
day, at 8 p. m., at Presbyterian
church.
Because Mrs. J. C. Brown of 2804 Welton St. rented for $11.50 a certain house belonging to the Conaway Bogue Realty Co., thru the efforts of Mr. Harry Cowell of the Colored American Realty Branch, when the Five Points realty man wanted $15.00 per month, the Star is becoming anxious to know whether colored people at Five Points are forced to pay more for rentals. The best way out is: Any time you cannot get what you want, phone the Colored American Realty Co. Any insults or embarrassments, let them bear it; it's in the business. If you go and get insulted you are alone injured. Why not rent thru a colored man anyway?
Follow your dollar and spend it where it will do the race the most good. Do you get that?
Because of our strenuous fight against the Curse of the Nation, which has caused us to use extra help, increased matter and virtually double our expense, we are asking and appealing to all of our delinquent subscribers to pay us and help us to make and continue the fight for our civil and legal rights. If you believe in the Star and want the Star to continue to represent you manfully please pay us. Let the other fellow wait; we have waited long enough. Remember, it takes real money to run a newspaper.
Dr. W. A. Jones has returned to his office, 1C27 21st St., where he is ready to serve. Office hours, 10 a. m. to 2 a. m. and 7 to 8 p. m. Sunday by appointment. Phone Champa 455. Evening and night phone the same.
