What Shall We Do To Be Saved?
NO COLOR LINE HERE.
Under the heading quoted above The Philadelphia Tribune, a weekly newspaper devoted to the interests of the Colored people, published the following in its issue of November 27:
Lawyer Townsend Writes on Segregation in St. Louis, and Declares Embers are Smouldering Here.
"The great Catholic demonstration last Wednesday night showed very conclusively that no color line is tolerated in that church. Each of two Colored churches made a splendid showing in the parade.
Editor Star:—The Negro has been told repeatedly since his freedom, that to be a real citizen, he must educate him self and own property, pay taxes and become a burden sharing citizen. Stimulated by that wholesome advice the Negro has reduced his illiteracy to 30 per cent, and acquired property—until at the South in particular, every fourth farm; is operated and owned by him; and in addition to that the (10,000,000) ten million Negroes diffused throughout the United States own 450,000 homes. This is indeed marvelous progress made in a few fleeting years from slavery by a race who, was friendless, penniless, homeless, without a name without a dollar and without a foot of land. In the struggle of life the Negro believed that he could depend upon the democracy of this country to protect him in the exercise of his freedom and his property rights. Was Lord Byron right when he characterized democracy as "an aristocracy of black guards", or, was Mazzini telling the truth when he defined democracy "as the progress of all through all, under the leadership of the wisest and best"? However, it will be remembered that Detockville wrote. "that our democracy will fail when the majority refuse to respect the rights of the minority". In the recent election at St. Louis democracy was on trial. A majority refused to respect the rights of the minority, but humiliated them and confiscated and took away their property and property rights without compensation and without due process of law, under the slogan of segregation, which has no place in the definition of democracy. This the supporters of segregation knew. They knew that on one side of the question were injustice, prejudice, interest hate, discrimination and deprivation of property rights. While on the other side were the fundamental principles of American democracy—justice, liberty and equality of property rights. Let one digress to ask, where were the republicans of that city who have regularly told the Negroes of their friendship and who cultivate them from the stump about freedom and equal rights—before election times?
"St. Peter Claver's Church, Twelfth and Lombard Streets made an exceptionally fine appearance. Headed by the Keystone Band, they marched fourth in line of the first division. This in itself was an honor, as older parishes were forced to march in the rear of Colored churchmen.
"The splendid tribute paid the men from both Colored churches as they passed along the long line of march showed how highly they are esteemed by their fellow-church men.
"White business and professional men who formed one of the companies of St. Patrick's aristocratic parish. Twentieth and Locust Streets showed conclusively that the color line has no place in their church when they selected a Colored man in the person of Major Samuel B. Hart, of the Gray Invincibles, to command their company in the parade. That the action of these white men met with entire approval of the clergy and the laymen of the church was best shown by the tremendous applause that greeted these men and their Colored captain all along the line of march."
I wonder where were those democrats who regularly resolve about "their Jeffersonium Democracy?" From the election returns all of them must have gotten into the "Melting pot" and had their political proclivities, melted in a large majority for race segregation. They voted to deprive the Negroes of that city of the right to live in and to use their property if it be in a white neighborhood. When they did that they knew at the time that they were enacting into a law(?) their prejudice and hatred, and restricting the rights and liberties of one class of citizens. It may not be saying too much when I declare that American democracy and its institutions of government cannot long survive such assaults upon the rights of citizens as were embodied in the segregation ordinance of St. Louis. By clinging tenaciously to the fundamental principles upon which this government was founded, it is often difficult to preserve the life of democracy. What has come over St. Louis? Is she the victim of lethargy and moss backism? Has she awakened from the Rip Van Winkle sleep and found that her commercial rivals have passed her in their onward march in immigration, population and business actively? And did she take that unlawful and backward step to advertise to the world that she is not dead, but was only sleeping? The fact of the adoption of such an ordinance will be disasterous to poor old St. Louis. Its citizens for years have been trying to call attention of the world to her wide awake enterprising and liberal people, inviting others to go there take advantage of the commercial opportunities and to invest capital. "But atlas, poor Yorick." She has hung the sign over the wall as being a place where white people are run over by Negroes that there is Negro domination in St. Louis, and that white people cannot have a fair chance to compete in business and are not able to protect their rights against the Negro element of that city. What St. Louis has done to the Negroes is retrogression and places her justly back in the dark ages, committing the crimes, that were committed upon the Jews, by confining them behind "the pales." This treatment of any class of citizens inexcusable wrong. The Negroes patriotism in the land of his birth risk limbs, and yield up his life in the consuming fires of the battle field, that the flag which has had a new baptism in his blood and tears shall continue to float in undisputed supremacy upon land or, sea unconquered and unconquerable! That flag symbolizes to all men who have beneath its folds the right to individual happiness to be restrained only when, it invades the equal rights of a fellow-citizen. It symbolizes the "Accounta-
Born a Slave Dies Rich
Stockton, Kans., Mar. 10. The will of the late Sanford Johnson has been filed for probate. According to this document, he left 640 acres of Rooks county land, free from incumbrance, besides personal property to the sum of $7,000.
Born in bondage, freed by the emancipation proclamation and with no educational opportunities. Johnson succeeded in accumulating property far in excess of that of many of his white neighbors and associates. He came to Rooks county in the early eighties and homesteaded the quarter section on which he died. He reared six children giving all a common school education. He has always been considered one of the substantial and up-to-date farmers in this community. His property was divided between his children.

regregation in St. Louis,
bility of each citizens to and for the government" It repudiates distinction of birth, or color and proclaims for each and all equal and exact justice. Why not allow the Negro in these perilous times to hold his good opinion of the flag.
The segregation ordinance at St. Louis is as insulting to white persons as it is to the Negroes, for no one has a right to say by law, or otherwise where one shall live. Luckily for those whose rights have been affected by said law they have redress in the courts. I find that even the Supreme courts of North Carolina and Georgia have declared against that kind of infamous ordinances in the following language by Chief Justice Clark North Carolina, hesaid: "If the Board of Aldermen is authorized to make this restriction, a bare majority of the board could, if they may "deem it wise and proper," require Republicans to live on certain streets and Democrats on others; or that Protestants reside only in certain parts of the town and Catholics in another; or that Germans or people of German descent should reside only where they are in majority, and that Irish and those of Irish descent should dwell only in certain localities designated for them be the arbitrary judgment and permission of the Aldermen. They could apply the restriction as well to business occupations as to residences and could also prescribe the localities allotted to each class of people without reference to whether the majority already therein is of the prescribed race, nationality or political or religious faith.
Now, St. Louis is a long distance from Denver and yet, it is near enough for prophetic proposes. I am not going to prophecy, I am going to declare that the same spirit of cast and segregation is now in Denver. It is only smouldering, it is likely to break out at any time as it did in the case of Dr. McClain. Daily you see manifestations of it when you desire to rent or buy a house, also when white persons want to rent a house the question is invariably asked—who lives in the neighborhood? That kind of discrimination has been carried on to the extent in this city, that it is difficult for Negroes to rent or buy decent houses in which to live.
Knowing these conditions to exist and the probability of them becoming worse what are we doing here to remedy it, if there is a remedy? It wont do to abdicate and say we will colonize and get a way to ourselves Remember he who surrenders has no right to contend and has lost all rights. To my way of thinking the Negroes of Denver are just "fiddling while Rome burns" They are not

IN TIMES LIKE THESE, GOD GIVE US MEN.
The Star has asked the Negroes of Denver to watch and wait and not sign any kind of a petition seeking to change our present form of government. The Star favors the change but not NOW under these circumstances. Why? First, because it is unwise, unnecessary and too expensive to attempt to mix up your State, national and city affairs together. When that is done the best interests of the city are neglected for partisanship. Second, expediency, political faiths, deals and trades and other complications will necessarily effect the result of the election and be a detriment to the city. Third, the Star believes that when the change is made from the commission form, it should be done with the greatest care due deliberation, and at a time when the issues of the different parties will not enter into the election. Fourth, because at this time, the State and national problems are the questions now more involved in the public mind, than any amendments to the charter or its suggested change in government, which should be considered strictly from the stand point of the best interest of an efficient, well regulated city, will be naturally biased and warped by the partisan views of general politics. Fifth, there is a religious fight involved in all of these changes and the Negro must stay out. These are the Star's general reasons for opposing any change NOW to the mayor form. Our greatest reason to us is that the Negroes know now, what they have and receive and if the change is made, every Negro's job in the city is declared vacant by the change. Think of that! Would you risk a certainty for an uncertainty? Again have the Negroes forgotten what these three commissioners did for us in the birth of the nation fight? Let every Negro work solidly to sit tight and budge neither to the right nor to the left. Stand by the commission form now and wait until their time of office expires before any change is made.

W. C. Blair of the Lake City Times, under the caption, of "Let Us Know," in the issue of his paper of February 24 propounds this question to those seeking the Republican nomination for governor:
"Will the defeated ones take off their coats and work for the successful candidate as they will implore and expect the workers of the party to do, should either one of them be that successful one?—a question which the Republicans of the state are entitled to have answered."
Allison Stocker promptly and emphatically answered this editorial query of Mr. Blair, with a "Yes" so far as he is concenred. Mr. Stocker then adds:
"Furthermore, while you have not asked the question, I desire to soy that I believe that office holders, already honored by the party, should not aspire to be sent as delegates to the national convention to the exclusion of those who have labored untiringly for its success without reward."

He furthered the belief that has been going the rounds that he is only in the business for the almighty dollar when last week two race ready and are making no preparations to defend their rights when the emergency comes. They are too busy organizing to lack out for the political welfare of white men to look after their own affairs. What will you do?

ministers, Rev. S. A. Virgil and Rev, E. S. Williams, and three other friends went to the tabernacle to hear Billy Sunday preach. An usher ap proached the party and informed them that they would have to move. They hesitated, and the head usher was called. He told the ministers and their guests that a movement was on foot for Sunday to preach to the members of the race at one of their churches and that they could not stay there. The news of the "Jim Crowing" was made to the members of the ministerial board and they rescinded the offer to co-operate with the white ministers in effort to help the city-wide movement for betterment.

The Boys' and Mothers' Social, which was to have been given at the Y. M. C. A. last Friday night, was postponed until next Saturday night, the 18th. Each boy will be required to show his membership card at the door and must be accompanied by his mother or some lady guardian. A program will be rendered, consisting of a light sketch entitled "A Sad Discovery," by five boys and two girls, which will be very amusing.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES.
Perhaps one of the most interesting meetings in the history of the Young Women's Christian Association was held Monday night, when Mrs. Edwin H. Platt continued the discourse on Tennyson's "Holy Grail." Her charming personality, intermingled with the vivid descriptions, made the poem even more beautiful. One might go on and write indefinitely about Mrs. Platt's talk, but the only way to appreciate her is to bear her. It can truthfully be said of her that "to know her is to love her." She is going to read Gulnevere soon.
Mrs. Hoffman spoke at vespers about the Y. W. C. A. work in China. It was exceedingly interesting and she told us many things which we might not have known otherwise. We hope that she will come to us again some-

Last Sunday was a day of splendid interest, abounding enthusiasm and large attendance. The pastor's morning sermon from the subject, "The Fruit of the Kingdom," was evidently enjoyed. In the evening a congregational song service was a very enjoyable experience. There were two persons added to the membership during the day: Sister Rozy Matthews and Bro. Charles Brownie. The ladies of the congregation gave a delightful surprise on Sister Mollie Price, who leaves this week for Deerfield. The hopes of the friends go with the family in this new venture. Dr. W. J. Sly gave a very instructive stereoicon lecture on the Gerry system of public instruction which is attracting the attention of the world to that new city near Chicago.
The pastor will have completed his seventh year's service next week. The congregation is preparing to emphasize the same by appropriate anniversary services. On Sunday, the

NEW MOVEMENT GROWS RAPIDLY
Seventy-two Orders Unite With Fraternal Congress.
PROGRAM OF RACE DEFENSE
Cincinnati Editor Outlines Platform of Combined Secret and Mutual Benefit Organization In Thoughtful Address. National Body Will Act as Port of Refuge, Says Mr. Jones.
Joseph L. Jones, editor of the Fraternal Monitor, Cincinnati, and chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Press association, outlines the object and aim of the national congress of Negro Traternities, organized at Cincinnati in February, in the following address to fraternal organizations throughout the country. Mr. Jones says:
The national congress of Negro fraternities is no longer a myth, but a real, live, lusty infant, assured of a development and power which will command the deferential consideration of the friend who needs our help or the foe whose acts invite our opposition. Seventy-two state organizations have responded to our call.
Supine quiescence when the rights of the Negro are assailed is largely responsible for the illegal and unwarranted restrictions we as a race suffer. This is a dishonorable quietude practiced by the unprepared or indifferent.
Our various societies in the several
SIR JOHN HENRY BURTON
states are the footballs for legislators who attack the weak to gain a popularity and re-election. No organization having membership in this body is weaker than the combined strength of all the organizations composing it.
Through this organisation we expect to prove beyond doubt to all intimately inclined that no longer are any of our fraternal institutions the playthings of those who seek political popularity. We will be in the watchtower, fully equipped for defense, when our immense property holdings or endowment departments are assailed because our success lessens the profits of similar commercial concerna. This must be the strongest fortification of the race and so well organised that even surprisal will meet defeat.
Every member of every state organization holding membership in the national congress of Negro fraternities is a picket, always on duty to report the approach of foo or friend. This is our world, our kingdom, our republic, our organized nation, our army. In our plan no salaried officers are suggested, no pet schemes are fostered, no personal aggrandizements are nurtured, but upon a platform serving notice to the world that we are prepared for defense and stand out in the open for a square deal for all our people, we unfurl our flag to God's free sephyrus and step in the line of march of all those organizations, whose ultimate aims are protection against unjustifiable denial of constitutional rights.
The die is cast. We sink or swim as our munitions are provided, and our munitions consist chiefly of your membership, your loyalty, your compliance with our constitution, your co-operation, your faith and your prayers. This organization is a divine inspiration, second only in marvel to the divine conception. Great God! How can it fail? It is the answer to the argument that Negroes are not organized. It is the response to the challenge. "Flight or die." The birth of this congress is the grave of the wrongs and oppressions planned by enemies for the future. Our plan involves all activities which are necessary in the uplift or defense of our fraternities and our people. The standardization of working plans of the several organizations which would change in any way their peculiar individuality or character is not intended. No such interference is necessary.
This national organization is the port of refuge, the national bank, the standing army, to which any of its members may fly when aid of any kind is needed or when the boll weevil of prejudice threatens to destroy us root and branch. The committees named in our constitution imply their activities by their titles. The battleship has been launched; the crew has embarked; the flag of peace floats at her mast; the dooms of war peer over her gunwale: God is her pilot; fair play is her mission.

A class matter at the postoffice in the city of Denver,
Man that is born into this world shall see dark days and his days are numbered and are full of trouble. He comes into this world without his knowledge and he goes out without his consent. He grows up like a flower and is cut down. Where there is life there is also a positive assurance of death. Death is a merciless and tireless messenger whose wings are ever on the wind. He knows no hour of repose. He goes into the homes of wealth and uninvited he enters the home of squalor where want and destitution rule supreme, and there removes their only treasure. One truth that holds true is that if the Angel of Death does not claim us today, tomorrow we will surely die. Just as soon as we enter into this world, just so soon does death begin to follow in our footsteps, and sooner or later he overtakes us in our pilgrimage, wraps his cold embrace. Death is sure and only the time of his coming uncertain, for tomorrow the dark emblem of our finality may hang at our door and our friends will wrap the mantle of death about us and our mortal bodies shall be returned to mother earth from which it came. So it behooves us all to be ever ready, as we know not the hour. As the poet Bryant has said:
"So live that when thy summons comes to join
To that mysterious realm
Where each shall take his chamber
In the silent hall of death.
Thy go not like the quarry slave at
night
Scoured to his dungeon,
But sustained and sooth by an unfal-
tering trust.
Approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery
Of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."
Oh, Death, thou hast filled our cup of sorrow to overflowing. Thou hast hushed the voice that gave us such sweet comfort. Thou hast stilled the lips that gave us comforting solace in the hour of trouble. Truly we all do fade as a flower. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and our spirits shall return unto the God that gave it.
We have assembled here to pay the last tribute of respect to one who has quit the walks of men and gone to reap the final reward of the faithful.
Mr. Sam. E. Waddy, whose silent remains lie here before us, was born in Williamson County, Tenn., March 4, 1854. Mr. Waddy crossed the plains in the early '80s and settled in the state of Colorado. He made his home in Cripple Creek and lived there for nearly 30 years. Mr. Waddy was a kind and faithful husband and was generous with his fellow men with whom he came in contact each day. Through his punctuality and kindness he won the heart and best wishes of all who knew him. Mr. Waddy departed this life on Feb. 25th. He leaves a wife, one sister, three brothers, a host of relatives and many friends to mourn his loss.
A great life dedicated for the welfare of the race here finds its earthly coronation and it does not lack impressiveness because of birth or nationality.
We hold the memory of the departed in the highest esteem. Thirty-four years have passed since the deceased came to the state of Colorado, twenty years of which have been spent in the Cripple Creek district; and the heroic spirit took its flight and joined the departed on the other shore; joined a host of others that have forever departed from human sight.
And those remaining grow dearer to us in memory of those who have departed. Unborn generations will draw inspirations and gather strength from this great and good man, Samuel E. Waddy.
He was faithful, fearless, intrepid, and invincible; undiminished in influence, in the estimation of mankind, so long as liberty remains the cornerstone of a free government and integrity of life good citizenship.
His genius was instrumental in achieving some things; brilliant was his public and private life, and for his character we loved him all the more; his individuality and his simple way had flavor of rare uniqueness; he was true and uncompromising and his name will stand out for the embodiment of manhood.
Success did not disturb the even balance of his mind; it did not swerve him from the paths of duty, or the
That innumerable caravan which
Scoured to his dungeon.
friends he loved so dearly. He had the highest esteem for the leaders of the race and hated the false-hearted or so-called leaders of the state and church. He was generous.
So let us not forget to honor his life and memory.

What do you think of George Olinger, undertaker, on the North Side, who wants to form a boys' organization of ten years, without regard to race, color and creed, now, when he will not permit Negro bodies to be buried at his cemetery, Crown Point? If our bodies are undesirable after death, our money is undesirable both before and after death. You see me, don't you? We have two colored, up-to-the-minute undertakers of our own. "Nuf 'ced."
FIVE POINTS "TRUST BUSTER"
AND GOOD ADVICE.
The proprietor of the Welton St. fruit and vegetable store succeeded in demonstrating to the public that HE will run his own store, giving articles away if he so desires. The Meadow Gold butter people objected to him selling their butter for 35c a pound when he paid them 34c and therefore would not sell him as long as he charged 35c. He appealed to the district attorney's office and forced them to sell him. As a result his patrons get the benefit of his close selling, Hurrah for the Welton fruit man. We only wish we had more like him. By the way, the Star urges that the Negroes only spend their money in three grocery stores in Five Points which advertise with Negroes. There is our own Q. W. Glenn, who has first class goods and sells as reasonable as any. Then there is the Five Points Meat Market and the Welton Fruit Store, who spend their money with us. We in turn spend and divide our money among four at our office, who spend it with the churches and colored business places. But when you spend it with others who care nothing for your welfare, we never get a chance at that money. Why not help us to help others? It costs you no more. Just ask your grocer if he advertises in A COLORED PAPER before you buy. See what great effect it will have.

FOR CHILDREN’S COUGH.
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 {s slightly laxa-
tive, just enough to expel the poisons
from the system. Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery 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.

BAPTISTS HOLD PEACE MEETING
CAUSE OF THE SEPARATION
Largest Organization of the Denomination Split at Convention Held in Chicago in 1915 Over Management of Material Enterprises—Harmony Between the Leaders Is Sought.
Washington.—At a meeting held at the Mount Carmel Baptist church in this city in February steps were taken by a group of members of the national Baptist convention, which split at the annual convention held in Chicago in 1915, to bring about a reunion of the warring factions. A peace movement was organized, with the Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, minister of the above named church, as president and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School For Women and Girls at Lincoln heights in this city, as secretary.
Two decades ago Negro Baptists in session in Atlanta, Ga., by uniting the Baptist foreign mission convention of the United States, the national Baptist convention and the national Baptist educational convention, took at one stride a longer step forward in the right direction than any race group of similar size has perhaps ever taken.
[Image of a man with a turban]
MISS N. H. BURROUGH.
This advanced step was taken by the fathers that we might be able to do more effectively mission work in America, in Africa and elsewhere abroad, to foster the cause of education and to promote the publication and circulation of religious literature. Prominent Baptists now say:
Phenomenal success has come as the result of this union, outdistancing by far in financial growth, numerical strength and physical equipment the combined achievements of all other Negro denominations. In our Chicago convention in 1915, when we should have been celebrating the twentieth marriage anniversary of this union, we separated, and the entire Christian world is asking louder and louder: Why? To do what? We must admit that our phenomenal success was due to this happy union. It is therefore evident that we must have a great many more reasons for going back to together than we have for staying apart.
Realizing this fact we have met here to ask the direction of God and to plan to secure the co-operation of the leaders of the two conventions and of every man and woman in the denomination who pray, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done," to the end that the national Baptist convention might again take up unitedly the task to which it set itself in Atlanta twenty years ago. After prayer and conference, we declare these truths to be self evident:
First.—We did not separate because of any differences over polity or principles for which Baptists have always stood and contended, but have sharply differed as to the management of material enterprises and over administrative affairs. We believe a satisfactory adjustment is not only desired, but essential if the denominational growth in the next fifty years is to compare in any way with the growth in the past twenty years.
Second.—Because the day of overlapping and duplication in church enterprises is past. The very spirit of the times is against it. We cannot succeed out of harmony with our times. Overwhelming public sentiment will drive us to the wall. For economic reasons, therefore, we must get together.
Third.—Because our people are entirely too poor and too weak to pay the price of a quarrel among Christians over secular affairs.
Fourth. Even when united we never measured up satisfactorily in the support of our missionary and educational enterprises. Secretaries have been compelled to tramp the country, sleep on their suit cases week in and week out, for lack of money to get berth; carry their grips packed with books and supplies, for lack of money to have transfer or express companies do it for them; paddle pictures and books and take mere pititances for the great causes after the congregations have been drained, and, above all, mission
aries in foreign fields have gone for months without their salaries. It is therefore hardly reasonable to expect larger returns from divided forces. Though the boards have had only the crumbs that have fallen from the tables in the churches. God has blessed the great national organization because of the loftiness of the purpose of the fathers, set forth in their note of vision, faith and courage in the Atlanta instrument.
Fifth.—We have been responsible for the operating expenses of only one convention, and we are thousands of dollars behind. How can these same people support two National Baptist conventions, two publishing houses, two foreign mission boards, two home mission boards, two B. Y. P. U. boards, two educational boards and two benefit boards?
Sixth.-Strife over material things has never been a challenge to the Christian church to offer its best in lives and money. A situation similar to the one we now face caused the spiritual fires that burned so fiercely for several hundred years after Pentecost to die out and hastened the death of Christianity in northern Africa. Negro Baptists in America are now marching to the music of a similar death.
Seventh.--This division is discouraging to our friends in the north and south, who have given us moral and large financial support through schools of our home mission societies. Our friends have invested faith and hope things more valuable than money, which if once lost will be beyond the power of this and even the next generation to restore. To fall these friends will be a moral catastrophe. It will be fifty years at least before southern Baptists will invest $20,000 annually in our uplift and offer us $50,000 to stimulate us to keep our promise to ourselves in the matter of providing a national theological seminary.
Northern Baptists will serve us with greater fear, and others who are anxious to encourage worthy efforts on the part of even other Negro denominations will have this constant reminder of our unsettled, unsatisfactory internal condition. In other words, upheavals of this kind are positively discouraging to our friends and wonderfully gratifying and strengthening to our enemies.
Eighth.—Granting that we might recover from the loss of northern and southern friends, we will never recover the loss of the confidence of the masses that have been counseled by the leaders of the denomination to support out of their penury these enterprises. Will the leaders suffer the masses, that so much need all that our friends have to give for their uplift, to be robbed of so great a heritage?
Because of the spiritual, moral, economic and social loss we will certainly sustain as a result of this division, we call upon pastors and laymen to work to spread the gospel of peace and unity which has been and will ever be the conquering sign of the Christian army. Peace and unity must come because God wants it, and there is not a man in the country who desires our poor people to pay the price that they alone must pay if we stay apart.
DEATH OF MRS. LOUISE R. JOY
History Connected With Aged Woman Whose Freedom Beecher Purchased.
The following account of the death of Mrs. Louise R. Joy by John H. Paynter, which appeared in the Washington Post in February, is interesting for many reasons. The reference to the part taken by the late Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and the Plymouth church in Brooklyn is of much historical value.
Mr. Paynter's article reads thus:
A few days ago the mortal remains of Mrs. Louisa R. Joy, whose residence in the District covered a period of nearly seventy years, were laid to rest. Her entire life was symbolized by an unwavering faith in God, devotion to the church and loving service to her family.
The passing of this splendid Christian character is otherwise notable, too, for she was the last of the eighteen sons and daughters of Paul and Amelia Edmonson, seven of whom were associated with seventy others in an effort to escape from slavery in 1848. The attempt was unsuccessful, mainly through information furnished the masters by one Judson Diggs, a free colored man, who had a small personal spite to satisfy.
The stenner Pearl, with its cargo of fugitives, was overhauled at Cornfield Harber, a landing on the Petomac river, and the masters, anticipating resistance, boarded her with plats and clubs drowned, but were speedily reassured when Richard Edmonson stuck his head above the hatchway and exclaimed: "Do myself no harm, gentlemen. We are all here."
The slaves were returned to Washington, and most of them were eventually sold in the southern slave market. Two of these sisters, Emily and Mary, were saved from this fate mainly through the efforts of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who held a large meeting in his famous Brooklyn church, at which time the money for their deliverance from slavery was enthusiastically subscribed.
A little later the aged mother herself journeyed to New York and was equally successful in enlisting the sympathy and aid of Mr. Beecher for the rescue of the two remaining children, one of whom was Mrs. Louisa Joy, who has just passed away.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe devotes much space in her key to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to the story of the Edmonson children and to the incident of the Pearl, which from the fact of its English ownership the attempted escape of slaves thereon was considered at the time a question of international importance.

MEAL DENIED TO MINISTER.
Double Action Color Line Exists at a Yonkers (N. Y.) Restaurant.
By JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT."
Ira Post, a colored man of Jewish and Negro extraction, runs an eating saloon in Yonkers for white people only, which is his right. A few days ago a gentleman, a stranger in the city, a graduate of one of the leading English universities, who has been appointed by the archdeaconry of the Protestant Episcopal church to have charge of the mission work in the valley of the Hudson and of St. Augustine Episcopal mission in Yonkers and St. Mark's in Tarrytown, learning that the place was owned by a colo ed man, went in to see if he could make some arrangement to have his dinner sent to his lodging place daily.
He was, met by a white woman, whose manner seemed to question his right to enter the sacred precinct. She curtly asked his business and was told that his business was with Mr. Post. Mr. Post, hearing the conversation, hastened to the front and with much pompousness asked what was wanted of him. He was informed by the gentleman that he wished to arrange with him for dinner. "Oh, you couldn't pay for meals here! I have only the best food here, my prices are high, and Iater only to these people. (This with a wave of the hand and in a loud voice, which the white people dining there could not help hearing.) "I can send you to a colored man who used to be my cook—Seymour—where you will find what you want and within your means. I don't serve colored people; there is not enough in it to pay me." (Still talking loudly for the benefit of his white customers.)
The gentleman was disgusted with this insulting remark, but told him who he was and why he called. It is likely that Mr. Post will have a suit on his hands if the counsel of the reverend gentleman's friends prevail. Professional Negroes like Post should be bumped hard to teach them some sense and good manners, especially to strangers.
AN EXPENSIVE LAWSUIT.
How an Action For $11 Cost Hundreds Without Being Settled.
Under the caption "Don't Go to Law Unless You Have Money to Burn." John E. Bruce ("Grit") of Yonkers, N. Y., relates the following story. He says:
"In October, 1912, a certain physician in Yonkers entered an action against one of his fellow townsmen to collect $11, claimed to be due for professional services. The defense put in a general denial, claiming that the bill had been paid.
"The doctor then put his money to work, and the case was tried, but the doctor did not appear in court personally or by counsel, with the result that it was dismissed with costs, together with the sheriff's fees, which amounted to $120.90, which the doctor had to pay or else."
"Later the doctor claimed that he had never authorized the bringing of this action and that the first he knew of it was when the judgment for costs was in the hands of the sheriff. He brought suit against his attorney in the case to recover the amount of costs assessed against him. The case lingered on the calendar until March. 1916, when it was called for trial of the issue.
"Once more the doctor and his attorney did not appear, and once more the costs were taxed against him. This will make a total of $253.65 in costs taxed against him in the one effort to collect $11. And he does not get the $11 either. Now, wouldn't that jar you?
"Think of how many overcoats or tons of coal or leaves of bread the doctor could have bought and distributed to the needy with the sum!"
SMART SET ATHLETIC CLUB.
Fifth Annual Carnival of Noted Organization Arranged For April 28.
The board of governors of the Smart Set Athletic club of Brooklyn, incorporated, has begun preparations for the fifth annual monster carnival and Easter promenade of the club to be held under sanction of the Amateur Athletic union at the Thirteenth regiment armory, Brooklyn, on Friday evening, April 28. The Smart Set is one of the best known clubs of the Metropolitan association of the Amateur Athletic union. The organization has a long and honorable record in athletic circles, and the coming carnival will no doubt be one of the finest public functions of the spring season.
The board of governors is composed of the following named prominent men with J. Hoffman Woods as chairman George W. Lattimore, secretary; William F. Trotman, treasurer; Oscar A. Scottron, Philip M Thorne, Louis E. Baxter, George W. Harris, Edwin F. Horne, Sr.; Howard C. Warren, Lester A. Walton, Charles E. Conick, Fredrick B. Watkins, Robert T. Glyne Robert P. Lattimore, Alonzo F. Chadwick, Jr.
Associated with the board for the above occasion will be an honorary committee of many of Brooklyn's public spirited citizens.
Dr. Corrothers Joins the Baptists.
While the news of the Rev. Dr. S. L. Corrothers' change of religious faith recently from the A.M. E. Zion denomination to the Baptist denomination comes as a surprise to the general public, it was not a surprise to many of his personal friends in Philadelphia, where he has done a great work. Dr. Corrothers has contemplated making such a change for some time.
STRONG CENTER OF EDUCATION
Noted Leaders Approve Work of Wilberforce University.
EXERTS A WIDE INFLUENCE
Progress of Famous Ohio Institution Is Kept Abreast of the Times by Able and Wise Management—An Increase in Fiance. For Endowment and Equipment Is Needed.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
The progress of Wilberforce university, Wilberforce, O., within recent years has been in a large measure in keeping with the ideas and aims of its founders and supporters. Its growth in public favor and usefulness shows that its president, board of trustees and faculty keep abreast of the times in directing the work of the institution along safe and definite lines. While
PETER H.
DR. W. & SCARBOROUGH.
there have been several additions to the equipment during the past eight years, there is still a pressing need of more room, more funds toward the endowment and money to meet current and incidental expenses promptly.
The influence of Wilberforce on the mental, social and moral welfare of the colored race, not only of Ohio, but of the whole country is well nigh i.p. calculable. Ten thousand students have received training at Wilberforce. Five hundred teachers have gone forth into every state and into all lands to uplift the race, many are teachers in and presidents of other colleges, some are professional men and hundreds are splendid mechanics, due to industrial training at Wilberforce.
The buildings grouped around the college campus are artistic and massive and commemorate by name the noble members of the race who have contributed so much to the upbuilding of Wilberforce—Shorter hall, Mitchell hall, Arnett hall and others—and in 1900 the fine trades building was completed and named Galloway hall in honor of Dr. William A. Galloway of Xenia, who has served as trustee seventeen years and to whom perhaps Wilberforce university owes more than to any other white citizen of the state. Above the ornate entrance of Galloway hall, chiselled in the enduring rock is this splendid sentiment, "A Sound Body, a Trained Hand, a Trained Mind, a True Heart."
President Scarborough has received much encouragement from both white and colored people in his conduct of the affairs of Wilberforce, and this has enabled him to a great work for the institution. In reply to a letter from Dr Scarborough Dr. Susanna W. Dodds writes: "I thank you for your letter and also the circular. My sympathies have always been enlisted for Wilberforce and its prosperity. This for two reasons. In the first place, the cause which it represents is a most deserving one. The sooner we can obliterate the race prejudice which exists in this country the better it will be for all concerned, and there is no way in which this can be so successfully done as by education, just such as Wilberforce is giving.
"Another reason for my warm attachment for Wilberforce is that for many years those who were instrumental in calling it into existence were good friends of mine; they had the cause at heart and worked faithfully for it." Dr. Hollis B. Friessell, principal of the Hampton (Va.) institute, in a letter to Dr. Scarborough also speaks highly of the work. He says: "Wilberforce has had a long and honorable record and it has been a power of good in the past, and I have reason to hope and believe that, under your direction, it will do still greater things in the future. While I have never had the opportunity to examine its work, I feel sure that it is deserving of the support of all those who are interested in the education of the colored race. I intend, as opportunity offers, to visit the institution, and then I can speak from personal examination of its worth."
Criticism from sources jealous of the institution's progress under Dr. Scarborough's management does not count for much in the face of such warm words of good will from men and women of culture and broadmindedness as are quoted here. President Scarborough is a born leader, an educator, gentleman and scholar of the first magnitude.
CALL TO EDUCATORS.
Conference Scheduled For Durham, N. C., Nov. 21-24.
The following invitation to educators, issued by Dr. James E Shepard, president of the National Training school, Durham N. C., should, and no doubt will meet a hearty response from educators throughout the country. The invitation:
Durham, N. C., March. 1916.
The National Training school,
Durham, N. C., extends a cordial
invitation to the heads of universities,
colleges and secondary schools for the education and training of colored people in the United States to be the guests of the school Nov. 21-24, 1916,
for the purpose of conferences,
closer unity and understanding of the needs and educational requirements of the colored people.
Among the subjects to be discussed particular stress will be laid on the following:
What is the opinion of the educators themselves in regard to the duplication of work in schools in the various communities? Has it been hurtful, unwise and wasteful? What plans ought to be fostered to correct the evil?
To what extent should classes devoted to teacher training be encouraged? How and where located?
What system should be devised to meet the requirements of the rural teacher?
What should be the standard of the university, college, normal school, teacher training and secondary schools?
How should students be received from one to the other?
To what extent should religious instruction be carried on in the various schools?
Should there be a general clearing house for aid for Negro schools?
Is the aid given by the various funds and boards to Negro education wise, economical and helpful?
Many other and kindred subjects will be announced on the tentative program, which will be published in the early fall.
This conference has been suggested by a great many who desire to know the actual condition and needs of the school devoted to Negro education from those who are actually doing the work.
No conference in recent years will be more farreaching in its effects than this.
The guests will be entertained free of charge by the National Training school. Durham itself presents a field of study and inspiration, which will be furnished by no other city of its size in the country. Do you approve of such a conference? Will you be present? Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Yours for service.
JAMES E. SHEPARD,
President National Training School, Durham, N. C.

William B. Ferguson Deplores Color Prejudice in United States Navy.
In the report of Admiral Fletcher of the United States navy, made public by the senate recently, the following statement occurs:
"In one division of four battleships the division commander in his June inspections reported a shortage of 1,350 men, or an average shortage of more that 300 men in each ship."
William B. Ferguson of Dante, Va., commenting on the above statement in the admiral's report, says:
"If it were not for so much prejudice and discrimination in the navy all these vacancies could be filled with young colored men who, as far as moral, intellectual and physical requirements are concerned, could meet each and every one.
"Tear down the bars and have a free field and fair chance for all citizens, and the vacancies not only in the navy, but in the coast defenses, can be filled with men who with the necessary training will meet all the requirements."

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.
He's coming! Who? Hinkle, the insurance man.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
The members of the Lincoln-Douglass Sanatorium Association are called to meet at Central Baptist church Monday evening, March 27th, at 8:30 sharp. Two important things are to be decided: First, whether we shall continue the sanatorium effort; second, if the effort is to be continued, to elect officers, and if the movement is continued, to transact such business as would naturally grow out of this decision.
The officers feel that either the Negroes can not or will not promote the movement in this community, or else the present officers are undesirable or incapable of carrying on the work. If some manifestation of interest is not shown the board will meet to consider the return of the larger contributions to the donors and the dissolution of the organization.

DANGERS OF DRAFT.
Drafts feel best when we are hot and perspiring, just when they are most dangerous and the result is neuralgia, stiff neck, sore muscles, or sometimes an attack of rheumatism. In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment. It stimulates circulation to the sore and painful part. The blood flows freely and in a short time the stiffness and pain leaves. Those suffering from neuralgia or neuralgic headache will find one or two applications of Sloan's Liniment will give grateful relief. The agonizing pain gives way to a tingling sensation of comfort and warmth and quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good for neuritis too. Price 25c at your druggist.

DENVER BEAUTY PARLOR OPENS AT FIVE POINTS.
Five Points will be accommodated with a beauty parlor, second to none in the city, which will be operated and conducted by Mrs. Julia Chambers who has studied the art of growing hair and scalp treatment for years, now holds a diploma from an eastern college. Her place of business is 2553 Washington Ave.
Mrs. Chambers has been here 5 years and is a member of Zion Baptist church. Mrs. R. H. Lee, who for four years has so successfully conducted the business, leaves for Omaha to remain indefinitely. Mrs. Lee has made good in Denver and turns over all the store and its goods to Mrs. Chambers who will also handle toilet articles, etc., from Stanley. Dont forget the place 2553 Washington. Mrs. Lee as a business woman has been a credit to Denver
SHOULD YOU PATRONIZE HIM?
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 hru a colored man anyway? Follow your dollar and spend it where it will do the race the most good. Do you get that?
Before you break that leg, "SEE HINKLE."
