Hon. Robt. W. Speer, Denver's Next Mavor.
"If I am elected Mayor of Denver, said R. W. Speer, I will start an industrial bureau to create and increase work and business chances for our citizens. I want the business men to regain their confidence in Denver and in her investment opportunities by hearing the anvil sing, seeing the dirt fly in building operations,
streets more crowded with out going and incoming traffic, and men working and receiving good wages and paying their debts; when these things have been accomplished Denver will present a radiant look of satisfaction, good cheer and prosperity upon the face of the laboring man and realty investor, as well as brightening the countenances of the store clerks, commercial trav-

elers and merchants of our city. Now Denver having been put upon her prosperity feet with business confidence restored, it is then time to consider the beautifying of Denver by improvement. I will put Denver on the municipal map with her government leading all other cities. Much power is given me, as mayor and if I abuse it, recall me in 60 days. Never tie any mayor's hands and expect him to do things. The prohibition question has been settled by the people of the state of Colorado, and I shall be strictly non-partisan and will keep he city out of politics." These

or Speer says, as he never has broken his pledged word. Robert W. Speer, whose past record of enlightened tried experiences tested by trials and difficulties, as a builder, beautifier, municipal manager and prosperity producer needs no introduction to you. Whatever might have been his mistakes in the past, he asks that you look at all these real and lasting accomplishments during his term of office thru unprejudiced and unpartisan eyes. He now pledges himself to run the city on a business like, non-partisan basis taking up, here and there, the loose slack, straight ening out the kinks in the tangled city government, re-

vivifying and rejuvenating the dead and dying industrial, agricultural and commercial business corners and centers in Denver: placing men to work, work on the streets, and starting new enterprises by attracting outside capital to Denver and he intends to make the city beautiful and up to the standard sanitarily and civic pride not by increasing our taxes but by issuing bonds against the improvements which will be paid in some distant future. The Hon. Robt. W. Speer comes to the people with a well directed, carefully thought out plan and business system. The wet and dry issue has been settled by the people of Colorado and the enforcement of the law is in the hands of the Governor, Mayor Speer pledges his word and assistance to the strict enforcement of the law. What more does Denver want? What it takes to make Denver an enterprising, prosperous, business like beautiful city full of sanitary improvement and civic pride, Mayor Speer has it under his hat.
Mayor W. H. Sharpley with a heart full of sympathy and good cheer for the underdog and for especially those struggling aspirants for higher and better things, is a man who has lived in Denver a quarter of a century and a man whom we all know and thoroughly appreciate. You know how he came to us in Shorter Church in our mass meeting. You know what he said then and did he not do just what he said? You found him true in his office on that excited Monday morning after the first show of those vicious picture. In the Council Chambers he was there with his suggestions of helpfulness and courage. He was with us in the voting. He has been with us in appointments, he, hav-
ing made the highest and most representative appointments than any of his predecessors. Only in Chicago at Cook County hospital has, a Negro received such a rare and inspiring honor. Two appointments in board of health, and one at County hospital were given to us. Was he any different man when he delivered an address to Odd Fellows? His friend and our friend is Robt. W. Speer whom we have tried and whom he wants you to supoort. Do you know Booth or have you ever met him? What do you know about him; do you know whether he will be as true when tried like our friends? Do you know or have you ever heard of those Nisbet councilmen to be effected by all of the city and not by the district votes? Can you trust any of that Nisbet bunch? Then work and vote for Speer.
Clair J. Pitcher, a true man whose iron nerve was tried in the melting pot of race hate, color discrimination and injustice, during our recent Birth of Nation fight, who came out on humanity's side has made the greatest number of appointments of Negroes to jobs without any great noise (in the same length of time in office with Nesbit) than any other man has ever made in the history of Denver. It was he who made the motion to suppress the film before hundreds of Negroes in the city Council when Nesbit stabbed our race in the back, insulted our manhood and spit upon our women's chastity by aiding that play. You know how Nisbet spoke of the library scene "as not being immoral." Out of this chaotic confusion of race hate and color prejudice came our Daniel to Judgment, Clair J. Pitcher. Whom of you who witnessed those stirring scenes scarcely 3 months ago, could have the race conscience to vote against this man and his friend, Robt. W. Speer? Let him stand out and answer. C. J. Pitcher has appointed 9, Mayor Sharpley 4 and Tom Hunter 2, making in all 15 against the Republics 2.
Instructions for Registrations
The election commission made its first announcement regarding the May election Monday. All persons who did not vote at the May 18. 1015, general election will have to register at their polling places on April 13 or 20. All those who voted at that election and have since changed their address will have to register the change with the commission at the courthouse or lose their votes in the May balloting. Let every Negro eligible to vote, register and et Nisbet feel your full power by voting for Speer. Remember Manhood and Respect vs Insults, Jim Crowism and dollars is the fight.

First Things First.
First Things First.
Manhood's Testing Fire. Bend or Break; You Can't Scratch Nor Straddle. Resent or Swallow Insults. Negroes For Negro Race First.
IN TIMES LIKE THESE, GOD GIVE US MEN.
Has Nisbet apologized, explained or attempted to excuse his action; shall we kiss the hand that smites us, by honoring, supporting and continuing him in office? Does he regret his actions against us or should we apologize to him for his insults? Stand up Negro Nisbet henchmen and answer.
Shoulders together, Shoulders together, all for one and one for all. Down with the traitor within our race. First things first. Shall we protest, fight, lay down and forget so soon? Our true friends employ 15 men; our so called friends give 2 jobs, the former recognizes and encourages our manhood and respect, the latter insults, Jim Crows and attempts to crush out all our ambitions by binding us with their prejudices. Until after Massa Harper's Jim Crow messenger attempted to run the Negroes affairs of Denver, when has the Negro ever had to fight, as hard as now to maintain his self-respect, and manhood? Pray, tell me, WHEN has the Republican party in Denver, had the unnerved gall in a close and hard state and national election to openly advertise in the daily papers, that they were "Jim Crowing" Negro petition Circulators until now? Who started all this Jim Crowism; was it not started and encouraged by the Insurance Commissioner's pet messenger? When Massa Harper Jim crowed him, why should it not follow that Carlson-Nisbet Booth petition circulators should not be Jim crowed? They did it and so advertised to the world in the Post. After running all over town securing names, what self respecting Negroes want to be labelled and libelled as to be too unclean and undesirable to meet in the same room long enough with others to turn in their petition? Certainly there is no social equality there. It is a pure case of racial hate and Jim crowism to make the Negro feel humiliated. When J. J. Vick Roy of Nisbet-Booth charter combination established a Jim Crow head quarters in our city, within 3 months after "Birth of Nation" fight, he branded all the Negro workers and voters, regardless of character or capacity, as unfit to associate with white citizens long enough to hand in their petitions. He tried to herd the Negro circulators in a certain room in the Foster Building, where they would be subject to the scorn and ridicule of the Italian, Irish and German voters. Negroes of Denver, the Star told you some time ago that Massa Harper's messenger was sewing seeds of "Jim Crowism" and that you were sleeping silently on while he was pouring this venomous poison in the State Capitol. It has now reached the City Republican party, in whom and what place or time will it next show its head?
Whenever any Negro is so hungry for an easy job that he will stoop so low, as to permit himself to be shut off all to himself, three or four stories higher than the main office of the other employees, then what can you expect of the men who put him there, when it came to dealing with these messenger representatives of Negroes. The Star is for manhood and self respect vs Insults, Jim crowism and filthy dollars used to buy Negro traitors. The same kind of rest ment accorded a Negro messenger under Massa Harper at State Capitol, dovetails with the insults that Nisbet offered us in our "Birth of Nation" fight. This kind of Nisbet-Carlson copperhead Republicanism stabs the golden rule in the back, assassinates Negro manhood, courage and respect and tramples under foot justice and equality. Yet there are some Negroes still following Nisbet. O, ye Negroes arise, take up your bed of dependency and of subservience and walk! Walk away from those men, regardless as to who they are, if they insult, Jim crow and humiliate you! More messengerships means more Jim crowing. Strike it down and urge everybody to do so. They have struck you a deadly blow, now strike back in the most effective way by voting for Speer. Would that the Star could hang a spear around the neck of every insulting Negro hater. Stand up, Nisbet henchman and answer. If, tomorrow, Denver would have a race riot, or vicious race film or lynching, how far could you depend upon Nisbet for help? Who knows what the Councilman in North Denver, elected by the Nisbet-Booth plan, will do for you and Five Point district when you need help or assistance? Who knows? None of them have been tried and besides ordinary common sense dictates that the Councilman elected by the people in his district would have more consideration for you than when elected by the whole city vote. Manhood and respect vs insults, Jim crowism and dollars. There is no half way, no scratching, you must either swallow these insults or resent them

Sunday morning's service was blest by the presence of the Lord. The pastor preached from the subject, "Stones Rolled Away." The discussion was more than interesting, as many were enabled thereby to get a clearer light in life's pathway. The evening service was concluded by observance of the monthly communion, which was participated in by a considerable num-
ber. Ten persons were given the hand of fellowship, including one addition to the membership for the day.

WATCH CHILD'S COUGH
Colds, running of nose, continued irritation of the mucous membrane if neglected may mean catarrh later. Don't take the chances—do something for your child! Children will not take every medicine, but they will take Dr. King's New Discovery and without bribing or teasing. It's a sweet pleasant tar syrup and so effective. Just laxative enough to eliminate the waste poisons. Almost the first dose helps. Always prepared, no mixing or fussing. Just ask your druggist for Dr. King's New Discovery. It will safeguard your child against serious alliments resulting from colds.
The first one of its kind, an Oratorical Contest, poems of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Tuesday, April 18th. Some of the best talent in the city.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
As the time for the membership campaign to begin, draws near, a spirit of earnestness and enthusiasm is noticeable among the men. The line-up of most of the teams has been formed and the members are already getting ready to invade the homes and haunts of the men of Denver in their search for new members. The name of nearly every man in Denver has been secured and is being listed; the committee will visit every one of these men before the campaign is over. Campaign opens next Monday and will continue for ten days. Membership for men, three dollars; for boys, one dollar. The meeting last Sunday was in the interest of the campaign, and many earnest prayers were offered for its success.
The boys' meeting last Sunday was one of the best and most inspiring for some weeks. Mr. Calkins, of the social work department of the Central Association, was the speaker. He gave the boys a message which they shall not very soon forget.
A very interesting session of the "Life Problems" class was conducted by Mr. J. S. Temple, the instructor. The subject was "The Choice of a Life Work." Two new members joined. The subject next Saturday evening, "Legitimate Rewards of a Life Work."
The men's meeting next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Meeting for boys at 2:30.

GREAT ORGANIZER AND FINANCIER
Notable Record of Dr. I. A. Thomas in the Ministry.
Constructive Work of a Former Georgia Minister at Second Baptist Church In Evanston, Ill.—Erects New Edifice, Adds New Members and Raises $35,000 In Less Than Four Years.
Evanston, Ill.—Georgia has the distinction of furnishing to Illinois one of the most aggressive Baptist ministers in the state and a man who has won the hearts of the people and has accomplished much good. The Rev. I. A. Thomas, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist church here, is one of the best known clergymen in this section of the country.
Dr. Thomas received his public school and college training at Atlanta and Macon, Ga. He attended the Central college at Macon and also the Moore-house college in Atlanta, which is one of the largest and best known institutions in the south for the training of young men. At these two institutions he not only took the regular literary
A.
course, but his theological training also, and then a postgraduate course at the University of Chicago.
It was Central City college that conferred on him the degree of master of arts. He was formerly an active figure in Georgia in the denominational work. For five years he was president of the state Baptist Young People's union. He was for some time professor of languages and higher mathematics in Central City college. He has been an active and successful pastor in Atlanta, Baxley and McHae, Ga. His last work in Georgia was at Central City college, which position he resigned to accept the pastorate of the Second Baptist church here in April, 1912. When he took charge of the church Dr. Thomas found a small membership worshiping in a dilapidated frame building, with a seating capacity of 200. In his initial sermon he declared that the building would have to come down and one more suitable to the needs of the people would have to be erected. Within a few months the building was torn down and the foundation laid for the present magnificent building, one of the finest in the state. Dr. Thomas drew the plans for the building, submitted them to the church for approval and later turned them over to an architect for perfection. He then superintended the erection of the church himself.
If there is such a thing as "the heart of a city" it is there where the Second Baptist church is located. It is at least in the most important part of the city, and the lot alone is valued at $10,000. It is just one-half block from the Evanston postoffice. The church edifice is valued at $40,000, and under the leadership of Dr. Thomas $35,000 has been raised within three years and ten months. Perhaps it would be of interest to know that in addition to erecting the most complete modern church in and around Chicago 300 members have been added to the church in Evanston. After working a year or two among the pastors and churches of the Bethlehem Baptist association, of which he was elected secretary the first year of his residence in this city, Dr. Thomas was elected to the moderatorship without a dissenting vote. This association includes some of the largest churches of Chicago and vicinity. The Second Baptist church held three notable rallies during 1915, with these results: April 25, $2,000; Aug. 29, $2,000; and Dec. 12, $3,126.62. Those amounts were devoted to the building fund. Special funds were raised for the building fund every month during the year. The receipts for 1915 were more than $16,000.
This success is largely attributed to the splendid organization of the membership. The entire church is divided into eighteen auxiliaries. The ladies of the church are divided into eight circles, the men into four men's clubs, which make a splendid layman's movement; the "teen" age girls into the Phyllis Wheatley Dramatic and Needlework circle. The Sunday school, the Woman's Missionary society, the R. Y. P. U. are also doing splendid work.
Dr. Leidy Recalls Endurance of the Colored Troops In War.
At this period in the life of the nation, when most of the great foreign powers are fighting one another, much is being written and published in praise of the colored man as a soldier and of the loyalty of the race generally to the American flag. The compliment, however, begs the question, says N. B. Dodson. Never since Crispus Attucks faced the British soldiers in Boston has the world doubted the sincerity of the devotion of the colored race to the country of its adoption in peace or war.
Therefore the following article by Dr. C. Fontaine Maury Leidy, Philadelphia, which appeared in the Philadelphia Public Ledger on March 18 is thrilling as well as interesting. Dr. Leidy says:
In anticipation of strife, whether internal or external, and the spasmodic attempts to train bodies of men in every section of the country we will revert eventually to the national guard as the largest organized body especially for home protection. Citizens complain that the guard is not fully enlisted. Neither is it.
This city and state have a great unknown power in the Negro and could enlist with the sound of the bugle a regiment and more of the finest body of men that ever wore a uniform. They have the physique and endurance. This country could enlist half a million Negroes, if not double this number, and even more. The history of the civil war tells repeatedly of the endurance of the Negro soldier and more would have been written had the conditions been different. Many units in our army today are of foreign birth. In time of war would it not be natural to have some fear, if only a passing thought? But the Negro knows no country but this. It is his. Never has history portrayed one not loyal. The Negro is quick to learn tactics and obeys orders implicitly, and no officer could question his loyalty to the flag. Philadelphia should organize immediately a full regiment of Negroes. They should have their armory. They should be fully equipped and absorbed into the national guard of Pennsylvania. To make any distinction would mean a failure. Every opportunity should be given to enlist.
I recall the parade on Broad street after the Spanish-American war. There was no regiment of troops who marched with exactitude and nicety of precision that the Negro regiment did. Now is the time for such a move to be made. The time will come—it may be near—that this city will be glad and proud to have such an organization as a regiment of well trained Negro

troops. The Negro requires white officers.
They must have them now at least, but he makes no objection to this—none whatever. Only give him a chance to be enrolled upon the same foeting as other members of the national guard, thereby increasing our N. G. P. several regiments. I heard a little of the fight of San Juan hill. I had the fortune to have charge of ninety-eight Negro soldiers who saved the Rough Riders and the day. They were suffering from typhoid fever. I never saw such wonderfully developed men, one and all, although many at death's door. They showed they were men of great endurance, with little to say.
There was no sign of bravado or tales of courage, only a plain, simple story of their fight. Will not some one take this matter up now and organize immediately a body of Negroes who are now only waiting to be called? The benefit will not only be to the nation, but to the Negro as a race.
STATESMAN AND EDUCATOR.
Governor Brumbaugh Mentioned For Presidency—Friend of Colored Race.
Friends of Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania have secured the governor's consent to place his name before the voters at the preferential primaries to be held in Pennsylvania in May as a candidate for the presidential nomination at the national Republican convention to be held in Chicago in June. Governor Brumbaugh is a trustee of Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn. He has rendered valuable service as an educator in other capacities in various parts of the United States.
Dr. Brumbaugh was selected by the late Hon. William McKinley to organize the public system of Porto Rico, which is still being followed by the people of Porto Rico. He has also served as superintendent of the public schools of Philadelphia. He is a foremost advocate in matters pertaining to institutions for the higher education of colored people.
While in charge of educational work in the south Dr. Brumbaugh had the opportunity of coming in close personal contact with our people, and he used this opportunity in opening the way for the race to receive equal educational advantages in the public and other schools under his supervision.

UNCLE ABE HITS MESSENGERS.
Did Messengers at Capitol Cause Falsehoods to Be Circulated to Hoodwink Colored Voters?
When the "Booth-Nisbet Amendment" was sent out for signatures, a number of colored women were given petitions. Were they told by the colored messengers at the Capitol to say, "It is a Republican Booth amendment"? If they were, that was a falsehood and wrong and they knew at the time that the law does not allow any party to use party name and that only non-partisan elections can be held under the present form of the charter. They also knew that the colored voters are against the amendment because Nisbet's name appears on it for re-election. They knew that no one can vote for the "Booth-Nisbet" amendment unless one votes for Nisbet. So if these messengers or any one of them misled the people, they or he did not tell the truth about the matter to the innocent circulators, but told them falsehoods to deceive them and hoodwink them into helping Nisbet to get colored votes under false pretenses. They know the colored voters do not want Nisbet to regain office. The messengers have been unduly industrious in trying to impose Nisbet upon the colored voters, and to do that they have imposed upon and insulted the women who wanted to do right about circulating those petitions. They relied upon the statements of those who should have told them the truth. We have said before, messengers are only messengers—they should keep their places as such, and not attempt to dictate to the colored voters. They, by their want of race pride and political integrity, have been the sole cause of the colored voters of the state not having a representative position in the Capitol. Have they sold us out for messenger jobs, so that today the colored voters have for their show in voting three messengers who are not yet satisfied, but who insist on being our political bosses. The messengers should be told to amble down.
It will not be denied that the messengers (and not the janitors) who by their abortive attempts to play the role of bossism have kept and are keeping the colored voters of Denver from agreeing and acting together in party measures. "B. T. W."
PAYING THE PRICE. HELP THOSE
Because the Crescent theatre management has accorded equal facilities to Negroes, a silent, but an effective boycott has been put into effect against his theatre. We are now calling especial attention to the race that the theatre management does not Jim Crow anybody, but as a matter of fact, the white patronage in our district has gone to the other place since it has opened. Now it is therefore necessary for the Negroes to rally and patronize the theatre more so than ever, if we want a decent place to go to in Five Points. Otherwise it will be utterly impossible for the management to continue the show. Now if you want fair and courteous treatment you must pay the price of helping those who help you The Star is fighting for fair treatment to everybody, from everybody and we do not think that when a man has manhood enough to be broad and fair, to Negroes, that he should be made to lose. So boost and go more than ever. We must win and we can if you will help.

New York Methodists Show Manhood.
By a vote of 125 to 15 the New York conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, which closed its sessions at Peekskill, N. Y., on Monday, March 27, went on record as favoring the election of bishops of the Negro or any other race connected with the conference. The vote in favor of electing race bishops is said to be in a large measure due to the cloquent speech of the Rev. Dr. William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church, New York city.
Fighting Segregation In St. Louis. The St. Louis segregation ordinances are causing no small amount of trouble. Injunctions to prevent their enforcement by the mayor and other city officials have been filed in the United States district court by both white and colored property owners. The complaintants declare that the ordinances are a violation of the constitution of Missouri and the constitution of the United States. It is believed that any attempt to enforce the new law before it receives the sanction of the state supreme court will be stubbornly fought and that if the state supreme court upholds the ordinance an appeal will be taken to the United States supreme court.

it we stopped long enough to get to
gether 15 good men, middle aged and

instituted into the U. B. F. lodge by
G. M.. E. V. Cammel, last Thursday

and his money was in waiting. A

been witnessed by any of us. To add
to the gaiety of the occasion the S.

during which the G. M. showed him-

FIRST FOLK SONG FESTIVAL.
Big Musical’ Event In Washington
Conducted by Mme. Hackiey.
Washington.—Mme. E. Azalig Hick-
ley's latest tilumph was the fraining
and direction of Washington's tirst
folk song festival recently given in
this city. So cordially was this truly
American music recelved 1t has been
decided to make the folk song festival
an annual event, and arrangements
have already been entered Into by
which Mme. Hackley 4s to return at a
future date to cheer anew the souls of
the many friends she has made during
her recent visits.
Spacious Metropolitan A, M. EB.
church was packed to the doors with
a throng of music lovers anxfous to
hear the folk song festival, the first
of its kind ever held in this city. ‘The
affair was under the general supervi-
sion of the Bethel Literary and Iis-
torical association and was planned
and executed by the soclety’s far vl
stoned and ever original president,
Miss Marie A. D. Madre. Cultured
Washington turned out en masse.
The chorus of nearly 200 voices was
trained by Mme. Hackley in just eight
days of hard and strenuous work, but
it 1s the popular verdict that had she
trained them eight weeks the result
could not have been more satisfac(o'y.
In point of harmony, volume and
artistic interpretation the singing was
never excelled on any similar occasion
in the nation’s capital, and the eminent
principal of the Hackley Vocal Nor-
mal institute of Chicago is deservins of
the highest commendation for lier
splendid work.
Gathered from the various choirs
and standard musical organizations of
the vicinity, this remarkable ageresa
tion typified the high water mark of

Negro achievement in-the arena of folk
song presentation. ‘The degree of per.
fection attained by them with the Iim-
ited time allowed for rehearsal stamps
the singers as geniuses for music and
establishes Mme. Hackley ‘sone of
the leaders of the times as a teacher
and director.
‘A distinctive feature of the festival
was the appearance of Professor J
Rosamond Johnson of New York, now
executive officer of the Music Settle
ment school of that city and known tc
the country ‘at large as the junior
member of the once famous theatrical
team of Cole and Johnson, who loom.
ed large for many years in the field
of musical comedy and Negro charac-
ter study. ‘The world will never for-
get ‘The Red Moon” and ‘The Shoo-
fly Regiment,” Cole and Jobnson's
greatest feat in stage land. Mr. John-
son received an ovation when intro-
duced by Miss Madre. He rendered
two of his favorite selections, “Lt1'l
Gal” (words by Paul Laurence Dun-
bar), and his popular success, “Under
the Bamboo Tree,” besides contribut-
ing a speech that was the last word
in felicity of expression and good fel-
lowship,
He paid a lofty tribute to the un-
selfish labors of Mme. Hackley for the
musical uplift of the Negro people and
confessed that she had given him the
inspiration that led bim to embark In
the same line of effort and to found
in New York the Music Settlemeut
school, where there is an open door
to the ambitious youth of the race,
Just as exists at Mme. Hackley’s thriv-
ing Normal institute in Chicago. A
chorus of students from the M street
high school, led by Miss Mary L. Eu-
rope, rendered with fine effect Mr.
Johuson’s original production “‘South-
land,” which bas been highly praised
by music lovers of both races every-
where.
The credit for the very enjoyable en-
tertainment and for inaugurating an
annual event that promises much for
the music lovers of the race is due in
the largest measure to the energetic
and painstaking efforts of Miss Marie
A. D. Madre, who in her five years of
unprecedented success as president of
the nation wide forum, Bethel Lit-
erary and Historical association, bas
been foremost among her people in
affording Washington the opportunity
of seelng und appreciating the best
thought and artstic endeayor among
the Negroes of the country.
Her platform has also been graced
by some of the ablest and most influ
ential of the white statesmen and in-
tellectual leaders of the world. In
addition to her laudable labors as
chieftain of the Bethel Literary socie-
ty, Miss Madre Is the official head of
the Women’s federation of the Dis
trict, is an effictent teacher in the pub-
He schools, a graduate of the law de-
partment of Howard university and
an active factor in the Woman's Re-
Hef corps of ‘the department of the
Potomac, auxiliary to the G. A. BR. It
is understood that Miss Madre re-
tires from the chair of Bethel at the
close of the current year in May. She
has set a pace that will try the mettle
of any one who may succeed her.

LACK OF HUMAN KINDNESS.
Bad Exprience of Dorothy L. M.
Agratangana of Yorkees, N.Y.
Armstrong at Yonkers, N. Y.
Dorothy L. M. Armstrong, aged twenty-one, colored, sought shelter at the Young Women's Christian association in Yonkers, N. Y., recently. She had no money and wanted to pawn a watch to enable her, with the proceeds, to go to her sister's home in Virginia. She was turned over to a police officer, who took her to the White Rose cottage, 3 School street. Later she went away from there, and the police were asked to take care of her if found, says the Yonkers Statesman.
The above situation seems very strange. The Young Women's Christian association of Yonkers recently celebrated its fifteenth anniversary and kept open house for a week or ten days. One of the features of the jollification was a night devoted to the colored women of the city who belong to the association. They gave a musical and literary program, and the white ladies looked on as spectators and sometimes applauded a particularly interesting number.
But why should this white Women's Christian association treat this colored girl so un-Christianlike and turn her over to the police? Are there "no rooms in the inn" for colored women? What a travesty on the name Christian! Would the Christ have turned away this stranger seeking shelter, hospitality and a word of comfort and encouragement? What must have been the feelings of this dark hued sister as she reflected on the heartless and frigid reception accorded her by these Christian white ladies! God save the mark!
Sanford Johnson Was Wealthy Farmer.
Sanford Johnson, whose will was filed for probate at Stockton, Kan., the early part of March, was one of the most thrifty farmers of Rooks county, Mr. Johnson had been a resident of the county for nearly forty years. He reared and educated his six children, who share his estate, which consists of 640 acres of land free of debt and personal property valued at $7,000. He was born a slave, but when he was emancipated he struck out for himself and made good use of his opportunities.
ART EXHIBIT AT HAMPTON.
Work of Students In Drawing Class Attracts Much Public Interest. Leigh Richmond Miner, director of applied art at the Hampton (Va.) institute, recently arranged for display in the picture room of the Collis P. Huntington Memorial library a striking collection of girls' drawings in water color which attracted considerable public attention. Mr. Miner, speaking of the exhibit in an interview, said: "Since one inoculated with art sense carries it with him back to his village, his home, his garden, his dress and general manner of living, we work for this art sense or appreciation in our students.
"We believe in art in common things hence the problems worked out in class demonstrate that communities churches, schools, homes and their furnishings—all these and many others—may be works of art if made appropriate for their use and harmonious in color, design and to their surroundings."
Sunday School to Give a Pageant.
The Concord Baptist graded Sunday school in Brooklyn will give a pageant at the Bedford branch of the Young Men's Christian association on Thursday evening, April 13. The cast will consist of 140 pupils grouped in sections representing the various scenes. The school is one of the largest in Greater New York and consists of seven departments. N. B. Dodson is the general superintendent, and Mrs. R. P. Hamlin, public school kindergarten teacher and wife of Intersectional Y. M. C. A. Secretary R. P. Hamlin, is the general secretary.

Kentucky Editor Stands High Among His Fellows.
HONORED BY REPUBLICANS.
Secretary of State Committee Elected Delegate at Large to National Convention, Which Meets in Chicago In June, by Big Vote—Influential Leader In Many Campaigns.
By JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT."
By a vote of 1,953 against 323 for his opponent (white) Phil H. Brown, secretary of the Republican state committee of Kentucky and editor of the Saturday News, Lexington, Ky., was elected delegate at large to the national Republican convention, which assembles at Chicago in June.
Mr. Brown is one of the most widely known and popular Negroes in Kentucky. He is a man of fine character and of recognized ability. He has been in active public life for quite twenty-five years.
He is a printer by trade and worked at the case in the government print
A.
PHIL H. BROWN.
ing office at Washington for a number of years. He is a writer of no mean ability. His style is forceful, direct and pleasing. He has written special articles for some of the leading papers in the west and was for a long period a contributor to Puck.
His election as delegate at large is a compliment to the Republicans of both races in Kentucky no less than to the distinguished recipient of their suffrage, whose sterling worth, rugged integrity, unflinching loyalty and patriotic devotion to the interests of his race command the admiration of white men and the gratitude of black men, who are always glad of an opportunity to show him in what esteem he is held by his fellow citizens.
The forthcoming national Republican convention will have fewer Negro delegates this year than any previous national convention, and it is extremely fortunate that the states sending Negro delegates are selecting men of the mental caliber and political experience of Phil H. Brown. The Lily Whites of the south and the milksop Republicans of the north have succeeded in reducing the representation from the south, where the bulk of the Republican party, which is largely black and loyal, has its habitat.
In plain, undulicated, unprinted Saxon the reason is that the so called white Republicans of the south, calling themselves Lily White Republicans, have for years been obsessed with the fear that the great black majorities in these southern states, if permitted to have their votes counted as cast, would again come into power in the south and the occupation of the white political adventurer, like Othello's, would be gone.
Self preservation being the first law of nature the Lily White Republican came into existence in obedience to its demand, and has passed the word from the farthest south to the farthest north to delimit the political progress of the Negro in the south, where his numbers are dangerous when arrayed against the political ambition of white men who have lost the power to hypnotize his race.
I hope some one of the Negro delegates to the Chicago convention in June will challenge the right of the national committee to reduce the representation from the south. The reasons advanced by it are not the true reasons, and we know it. There is an element of unfairness and injustice in the suppression of the voice and the votes of hundreds of thousands of voters in the black belts of the south who, because they are Negroes, have been disfranchised by states having no legal right to do so.
The United States created the states and recreated some of those states that were in rebellion against them and is, therefore, supreme over all. In making these blacks a voteless and voiceless majority and compelling them to pay taxes for the support of government the Lily Whites of the south and their northern accomplices have created a coalition akin to that which forced the thirteenth colonies to rebel against the mother country in 1776. Taxation without representation was tyranny in 1776, what is its name in 1916?
